After a while, Lu Xia and the others walked towards the gate with torches, Xun Bowen saw that there were a few short brown men with blue noses and swollen faces in the crowd, and immediately asked Lu Xia: "What's the matter, there are thieves over there?" ”

Lu Xia nodded with a look of annoyance, stretched out his right hand and slapped the back of one of the thieves on the head, "Damn, only these few were caught, and three of them ran away." ”

Liang Yizhi was a little dumbfounded and said, "How many thieves are there tonight?" ”

Xun Bowen and Lu Xia glanced at each other, both of them showed a wry smile on their faces, at this time, Xia Mingzhi also came over with the corpses of the four people, Lu Xia consulted Xun Bowen with some uncertainty and said, "Assistant Xun, what should I do now?" ”

"What to do, of course, it's the whole village of Dasuo, these people are not just sneaky."

Xun Bowen reacted suddenly, other things are okay, but just now those people actually wanted to inquire into the secrets of the workshop, which must not make him run away.

He immediately instructed everyone present: "Captain Lu quickly sent someone to inform Deputy Commander Mu, asking him to gather all the Long Xiang regiments, first guard the two city walls and residential towns, and remember not to let one person leave." ”

"Shansi, Wengu, let's go and wake up Steward Chen, Steward Liu and others, tonight's matter is not trivial, we must invite them to call the shots."

"Whoa"

"Good"

Since Xun Bowen had set a strategy, Lu Xia and the others immediately divided into several ways to inform the officials, who knew that Xun Bowen stopped Lu Xia halfway and explained a few words to him in a low voice, and when Xia Mingzhi asked, Xun Bowen just smiled and said nothing.

Mu Jingnan, Li Jingsi and several other officers of the honorable generation all lived in the same house, Lu Xia hurriedly ran over, knocked on the door of the room, and these people all woke up at once.

After listening to Lu Xia's explanation of tonight's events, Mu Jingnan threw off his robe with a gloomy face, and while going to tap the door of Zhang Jingliang and the others opposite, he scolded angrily: "I am a fairy banban, is this trying to rebel." Jing Si, ask someone to blow the emergency assembly number, tonight is to dig three feet into the ground to find these people. ”

"Toot ~ Toot ~ ~ Toot ~ ~ ~ Toot "

With the officers of the Longxiang Regiment in place, the sound of military trumpets resounded throughout Liujia Village, and the originally dark village gradually lit up a little light, and the village suddenly became noisy, and many villagers who had the air to get up couldn't help but complain constantly.

By the time nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Longxiang Regiment had gathered, the whole village had become brightly lit, and it was guarded by soldiers of the Longxiang Regiment with torches everywhere.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" , Liu Chen heard the noise outside, and also came to the center of the village under the escort of the little man on duty.

The geographical center of the village has leveled a large square covering an area of nearly 150 acres, and a new Liu family mansion is being built in the north of the square, and a large ancestral hall in Liujia Village is said to be built in the south, so now the gatherings in Liujia Village are generally held here.

Chen Yiding stood on the flagpole platform in the center of the square with a gloomy face, and when he saw that Liu Chen was also coming, he stepped forward and took two steps to greet him, "Why are you here too, be careful of catching a cold on this big night." ”

"It's like this in the village, how can I still sleep", Liu Chen saw Chen Yiding, and his originally panicked emotions gradually calmed down, "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

Chen Yiding took Liu Chen to the side and whispered to her: "There was an accident in the workshop, and there were two groups of thieves tonight, one of whom wanted to steal the shuttle of our loom. ”

"What?"

Liu Chen was shocked when he heard this, "Our family can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to them, this day is cold, if Erlang doesn't want to take them in, I don't know how many people will die outside, how dare they do this!" ”

Chen Yiding heard his sister say this, his face became even more resentful, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's all a bunch of white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, it's hard to say that you want to let the Long Xiang Tuan watch around, I have agreed, let's discuss a way first." ”

After a while, all the main management of Liujia Village gathered in the center of the village, and the people of the entire village also gathered around, Zhang Jingliang took the first song and the second song of the recruits, a total of 240 people, to block the crowd outside the stands, leaving Chen Yiding and others to discuss ways inside.

"So only one of the people who tried to steal the shuttle escaped, do they have anything to do with the people in the smelter?"

Gu Nan, the deacon of the infirmary, had already personally re-medicated and bandaged Xun Bowen, and after hearing Xun Bowen finish tonight's matter as it was, Su Jin immediately asked.

Xun Bowen turned his head to look at Lu Xia and motioned for him to talk about the results of the interrogation.

Lu Xia was a little excited, it was the first time for him to speak in front of so many bigwigs, and he tried to settle his mind:

"Deacons, deacons, I have already led people to interrogate a few people in the smelter, these people have been to the workshop a few times before, but they have stolen some ironware, cotton cloth and other things, but I have not found anything to do with these people in the textile workshop."

"Can't be careless", Mu Jing couldn't see that it was his own subordinates, and deliberately defended: "Go back and take the bodies of these five people and the bodies of those four people to the village to check to see if the two groups of them have contact with each other, and the people they know well must also be checked one by one." ”

"Yes", Lu Xia bowed and continued: "As for the three people who ran away, they also recruited, Shao Quchang is leading troops to get people, and he shouldn't be able to run away." ”

Hearing this, the counselor nodded, and his face was a little better.

Liu Xihe frowned and asked, "So there is only the thief who went to the textile workshop, Xie Xun, have you ever seen his appearance?" ”

Xia Mingzhi and Liang Yizhi both shook their heads.

Xia Mingzhi replied with some embarrassment: "It was too dark at that time, and in order to find out the details of the thief, we couldn't light the lamp, so we ......"

Liu Xihe, Chen Yiding and others all frowned again when they heard him say this, so there were no clues.

Dou Yuquan was keen-eyed, he saw that although Xun Bowen's face was a little pale because of the injury, he was always calm, knowing that this person should have a good plan, and hurriedly reminded with a smile: "Everyone, this Xun Assistant has not spoken yet, maybe he has found something." ”

Xun Bowen saw Dou Yuquan handing him an encouraging look, and immediately showed a smile to express his gratitude, and then bowed slightly:

"It's a coincidence, tonight I was going to go to the workshop to check carefully, so I carried ink cartridges and other things with me, and when I clapped with the thief, I secretly left some ink on his cuffs, and I will inform you as soon as something happens, I think the thief hasn't had time to change his clothes, and then he only needs to check it."

"What?"

"Hahaha", Chen Yiding laughed loudly, sure enough, it was a turn of the peak, as a deacon in the workshop, there was such a thing in the workshop, and it was his face that was the most unbearable, and when he heard Xun Bowen being so alert, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Okay, where do ordinary people have such thoughts, if you can catch this thief tonight, you have made another great achievement."

Seeing that Chen Yiding was a little ecstatic, Dou Yuquan looked at Xun Bowen with deep eyes, this person is indeed thoughtful, he didn't say anything about it when Liu Xihe asked just now, but he had to wait until Xia Mingzhi and others came to report, so surprised and happy, he was already between the emotional manipulation and applause of everyone present.

Dou Yuquan was about to withdraw his gaze, when he suddenly found that Su Jin also turned his gaze away from Xun Bowen with the same implication, and the two of them just looked at each other, and then smiled at the same time.

"Someone", Chen Yiding saw that the matter was clear, and immediately shouted, "The Long Xiang group immediately gathered the whole village, and the people in each room, the assistant and others all helped to check together." ”

"Ahem", Su Jin quietly tugged at Chen Yiding's sleeve, and said to him in his ear: "It's so inappropriate, it is inevitable that the news will be revealed in front of everyone's eyes for the thieves to beware in advance, why don't you choose a few tents, let everyone enter in turn to check one by one, and the people who verify that they are correct come out of the back door, and it is strictly forbidden to contact before and after, so as to ensure everything." ”

Chen Yiding's old face turned red, it was indeed his own miscalculation, but Su Jin's identity was there, and he didn't have much to say, and people took into account his face and whispered a reminder, so he had to turn his head and re-order according to Su Jin's proposal.
