On the eleventh day of the lunar month, at 17 o'clock to 19 o'clock, outside the Huyang Pavilion, Heifu was talking to Ji Ying and Yuliang.

"You have to remember, this trip must not be lost, you can't let this person run, if you encounter a chariot or horse along the way, immediately show me my two-foot requisition! When I arrived in the county, I first went to the county magistrate's office and knocked on the door, found the commander on duty at night, and explained the cause and effect of this matter! And begged the commander to send someone to Chaoyangli immediately! Can you do it? ”

"Brother Heifu, don't worry, I know how serious things are!"

Ji Ying rarely became serious, solemnly bowed his hand, and then together with another pavilion pawn Yuliang, escorted the public soldier with his hands tied to the rope to go to the road, and walked north along the road.

Hefu watched the three of them go away, thoughtful.

He didn't expect that at noon today, in front of the Chaoyangli Gate, the seemingly honest and simple prison gate with a pottery bowl and rice was actually inextricably linked to a gang tomb robbery case!

This is a self-theft!

But when I went to the disease, I only listened to the tomb robbers, and went to the prison gate at night, and how did the prison gate collude with the tomb robbers, whether it was to provide assistance and transfer the stolen goods for them, or to participate in the tomb robbery himself? But the words are unknown.

Relying on this kind of ambiguous testimony alone, Heifu can't go to Chaoyang to arrest people immediately, and if he moves the prison door, he may scare away all those tomb robbers who don't know their whereabouts, but it is not beautiful.

That's why he asked Ji Ying and Yuliang to escort them to the county overnight - I don't feel at ease when I go to the township, but all the officials in the township have some old knowledge, and they are still the prison and the officials in the county are more reliable.

The thief Dongmen Leopard came over at this time and asked, "Heifu, the submitter has been taken away, so what are we going to do?" Waiting for an order from the county? ”

"It will take two hours to go to the county seat, and the officials will send someone over, at least tomorrow morning, and we can't wait."

"What then?"

Heifu said: "I also said that he heard from those thieves that day, that the tomb was very large and not easy to excavate, and that it had been dug for several days. Originally, it could be dug up around the day of the festival and the burial objects inside were taken out, but who expected that the continuous rain and snow had to stop. Now that the weather is fine and the snow is melting outside, it's time for them to get on with it...... They didn't dare to do it in broad daylight, so they could only dig it up at night. ”

"What does the pavilion chief mean...... Shall we go overnight near the cemetery and arrest the grave robbers? ”

Liham also cheered up, if this kind of big case can be solved, it will be a great credit!

"That's right, time is running out, although the disease has not been exposed, but today we came to the door to arrest people, and the prison gate there may be alert, and we will definitely inform the tomb robbers. In this way, the tomb robbers have two choices, one is to be cautious and stop the burrows; The second is to dig all night and dig up the burial objects inside and sell them for money......"

Xiao Tao said: "If ...... If they are, cowardly, cowardly...... If you don't dig it, wouldn't that be ......"

Heifu smiled: "Anyone who is a thief is either forced to be helpless, or he is a daring maniac and hopes that they will choose to take risks." We'll try our luck...... Dongmen Leopard, Lixian, Xiaotao! ”

He became serious and shouted the names of several people one after another, and the three of them immediately agreed!

"You wait to follow me to the pavilion, select weapons, go over immediately, come and get all the stolen goods, and then follow the vine to find out the crimes of the prison gate in Chaoyangli!"

……

From 19 o'clock to 21 o'clock, in the twelve hours of the Qin State, it is called "cattle and sheep entering", as the name suggests, the sky is dark, the birds return to the nest, and the cattle and sheep grazing outside are also driven into the circle.

At this time of the day, he had to stand guard at the edge of the inner door, smiling and watching the people who went out to graze, fish and hunt come back one by one, and counted the number of people entering and exiting before slowly closing the door.

Once the cattle and sheep enter, the inner gate will no longer be open, and no one in the middle will be allowed to enter or exit, not even Lizheng and Tiandian.

Except for one person.

That's the prison gate itself.

Yue'er quietly climbed up the willow branches, and when the night deepened, the fire in the entire morning sun was dark, and most of the people dragged their tired bodies to sleep peacefully, but the inner door, which was already closed, slowly opened a crack......

The prison keeper did not go out of the inner door, and walked impatiently around with his sleeves cuffed in the cold wind, as if waiting for someone.

After about a moment, a figure crept along the inner wall and coughed lightly.

Bo Wu saw him and said angrily, "Why are you only here now!" ”

"Haha, don't blame you, we ate some wine and delayed some time."

But I saw that this person was about thirty years old, with a red face and a short beard, and was wearing a short shirt with sleeves, but on the outside he was wearing a deep shirt that was obviously worn by a dead man......

Bo Wu's eyes widened, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Chang, you guy, you dare to wear anything that comes out of your hair!" How is it good to be seen? ”

"What's this?"

The bare-faced thief was unimpressed, he raised his hand, let the wide sleeves of his deep coat sway slightly in the night breeze, and said proudly: "Rather than let the dead who do not know the cold and heat lie in the coffin wearing this good thing, it is better to let our poor people who have no clothes and no brown clothes borrow it for use, but unfortunately many of them are corrupted, otherwise, I should bring a silk robe for Bo Wu......

"Don't talk nonsense." Bo Wu looked around and continued: "I asked you to come tonight to inform you and others that the tomb cannot be dug again!" ”

Chang's face immediately darkened, and he asked, "Why can't you dig it?" ”

"Thou shalt listen to me."

Chang didn't listen, he sneered: "Bo Wu, Bo Wu, it was obviously you who contacted us at the beginning, saying that there seem to be tombs in the wilderness between Chaoyangli and Xiaoqingli, and there are no fields on the left and right, so you can make holes." ”

"Not only that, but you also took advantage of your position to provide us with tools, hide the excavated Ming weapons, and slowly send them to neighboring counties to sell for money. Now, those small tombs around the area have been hollowed out, but there is not much gold, only the innermost tomb is left, and it is about to be dug up, so that we can all make a fortune, but you regret it? ”

"It's not a reversal." Bo Wu hurriedly explained: "Didn't this Huyang Pavilion even have the pavilion chief and the thief vacant before, seeing that no one is in charge, I let you take the opportunity to send the hole, but now it's different, do you know, there is a new pavilion chief in the Huyang Pavilion!" ”

"What if the pavilion chief is here?"

Open face disdain: "We have also dug graves in Xinshi County, along the way, I don't know how many pavilions I have encountered along the way, but as long as we go out day and night, and hide in the artemisia grass, those pavilion chiefs can't help us!" ”

"This pavilion is different." Bo Wu said: "He only caught three thieves with his bare hands in the vicinity a month ago, and he was very capable, and today he suddenly came to Chaoyang to inspect, which scared me half to death, but fortunately he only took a public servant who picked up the money in the county seat......"

"Some people claim that when the public servant went to serve in the county seat, he picked up the money that fell on the ground, and he needed to be taken back to the pavilion to inquire." This was the crime that Heifu had declared to everyone in Chaoyang when he took him away, although he did not know about the catty of the prison gate at the time.

Because in the Qin State, the law stipulates that it is also a crime to pick up money and not pay it to the public. So except for the wife who went to the sick crying and saying that her lover would never do such a thing, everyone in the house did not have much doubt......

The prison gate also thought that no one knew about his affairs.

The two continued to discuss at the door, but could not reach a consensus, and Bo was not cautious, feeling that he could not take any more risks, so he stopped first. Chang thinks that the group of them have been working hard day and night for so long, and they are about to finish, how can they give up at this time?

During this period, the dog who didn't know who was in the middle suddenly barked, which frightened Bo Wu, and seeing that he couldn't persuade Chang, he could only take a step back and say:

"Then you will wait tonight, when the snow has melted, dig up the grave quickly, take out the valuable objects in the tomb, and then seal the tomb, and leave my share, and go quickly!" With that black man here, you can't stay here any longer! ”

"Everything is as he said."

Finally, before leaving, Bo Wu pointed to the flowing deep clothes on his body, and said with disgust: "In the future, Hugh will have to wear this thing to see me, and I advise you to wear less clothes and be careful......

"Be careful of what? Haunted by evil spirits? Bo Wu believes in ghosts and gods again? ”

Chang is not afraid, he is a habitual grave robber, he has trampled on many tombs, the nobles who used to be high in the past, now they are just a dry bone, and God punishes the ghost? Where?

He laughed contemptuously a few times, took a bag of food given to him by Bo Wu, and carried three new shovels on his shoulder, and walked slowly in the direction of the rising moon......

……

At the same time, everyone in the Huyang Pavilion has also been packed up and ready to go......
