He Huan saw the direction of the green smoke, and knew that it was He Baihai and Zou who did it, and he was a little sure in his heart. She let out a "huh" and said in surprise: "In this blue sky and white day, which one is so careless to walk on the water?" ”

Xiao Zhutou was not familiar with the terrain in the alley, and he only wanted to make meritorious contributions, urging He Huan: "The fire has its own fire dragon team...... What did you just say, arresting fugitive slaves for your third uncle? ”

"Xiao catches the head, it's mine, isn't it." He Huan bowed slowly and methodically, and said with a smile: "The little girl forgot to introduce herself, the little girl's uncle is the third master of the He family, and the name Bai Hai ......"

"What did I say about fugitive slaves?"

"Didn't Xiao Zhutou come here for this?" He Huan looked at Xiao Zhutou in amazement, and said embarrassedly: "Originally, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized......"

"What an escaped slave is ugly, you get out of the way!" Xiao Zhutou interrupted her anxiously. He didn't think He Huan deliberately delayed him, and only complained in his heart that she didn't know how to look at people's eyes.

He Huan nodded yes hurriedly, saluted Xiao Zhutou again, and then returned to the car and ordered the coachman to continue walking. At her behest, the coachman deliberately drove the carriage to a bumpy and shaky one, knocking twice against the wall, and then slowly moving forward.

Xiao Zhutou watched from the back of the carriage, and his heart was so anxious that he squeezed sideways between the carriage and the wall, trying to cross the carriage. Seeing this, He Huan hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to him, and babbled that Xiao Zhutou was the pillar of the Yamen, and it was overkill to let him deal with these trivial housework.

If it were on weekdays, these words would naturally make Xiao Zhutou extremely useful, but at this moment, he just said a perfunctory sentence. ran quickly towards He Baihai's courtyard.

When He Huan followed Xiao Zhutou's footsteps to the front of the hospital. I saw that the house where Shui Ting lived before was emitting green smoke. Zou stood on the porch with his waist crossed, pointing at the crowd trying to put out the fire and shouting: "No one is allowed to move, I will burn all the things that the woman used to ashes!" ”

"You crazy woman, jealous woman, aren't you ashamed enough?" He Baihai blushed and had a thick neck, pointed to Zou's nose and complained: "If it weren't for your jealousy and lack of stomach, would things have come to this point?" You dare to set fire to the house now. I'll leave you when I turn around! ”

"You take a break, you take a break!" Zou stepped forward with his chest puffed up, and said without showing weakness: "I gave birth to children for you, and I have served by my father-in-law's sickbed for many years, and you have the ability to divorce me!" ”

According to the law, He Bohai couldn't leave the Zou family, and he was choked up and speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Zou said again: "You were coaxed by Xiao Lang's hooves, what about now, she stole your silver." I eloped with a wild man......"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense am I talking about?" Zou became more and more angry, turned his head and howled at the people around him: "Everyone is commenting. He thinks I'm ashamed to report to the official, why doesn't he feel ashamed when he keeps an outer room? She wiped the tears from her cheeks, pointed at He Bohai and said, "The slut took our hard-earned money, why can't I report to the official?" ”

"What is the outer room, where does the outer room come from, she is just a slave!" He Bohai denied it.

When Zou heard this, he retorted not to be outdone, wiping away tears and complaining.

He Huan watched Zou's tearful performance, and his heart was mixed. Although Zou's words are a little true, she is not Cao, she was born in the market and grew up in the market, so it is extremely difficult for her to perform like a shrew. But at this moment, Zou did not hesitate at all, and did not care about losing face at all, all for the sake of her children.

As the saying goes, motherhood is stronger. Looking at the Zou family, He Huan was even more determined to return to his son as soon as possible.

Xiao Zhutou was not moved by Zou like He Huan. With a look of surprise and impatience on his face, he vigorously pushed through the crowd and walked towards the smoking room.

When Zou saw him, he stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed his sleeve and pleaded: "Uncle Cha, you must catch that little prodigal hoof for us, what she stole is our hard-earned silver, my daughter's dowry!" ”

Xiao Zhutou pushed her away and walked straight into the house, where he saw a large pile of messy things in the center of the room, in addition to the smoke from the burnt quilts and clothes, the fragments of teacups and bowls could be faintly seen, and some things used by women. Underneath this pile, there was a large pile of ashes, and it was no longer clear what it looked like.

Xiao Zhutou turned around and asked, "What the hell is going on?" What is your relationship with Tang An? ”

As soon as they heard the word "Tang An", He Baihai and Zou's expressions stiffened slightly, and their eyes showed a little fear. Zou snorted and shouted at He Baihai: "What Tang An? Who is Tang An, how much are you hiding from me? With that, she struggled to pounce on He Baihai.

"I don't know any Tang An at all, you don't want to see the wind or the rain!" He Bohai grabbed both of Zou's wrists and didn't let her get close to him.

A few of the people around were guys from He Bohai's shop. They knew that Shui Ting claimed to be surnamed Tang, but looking at Xiao Zhutou's menacing appearance, who would dare to cause trouble?

He Huan stepped forward to grab the Zou family, persuaded him a few words, and asked the people around him to pull He Baihai and the Zou family, and then turned around and asked Xiao Zhutou: "Xiao Zhutou, didn't you come to arrest the fugitive slave for the third uncle and the third aunt?" ”

"What kind of fugitive slave, I don't know what to do, I'm here to arrest the thief Tang An." Xiao Zhutou waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Come on, search for me, and bring all the calligraphy and painting books back to the yamen!" ”

"Wait a minute." He Huan lowered his face and said, "What does Xiao mean by catching the head, the third uncle harboring the thief?" This is a very serious crime, I don't know if we can ask, who is Tang An? What crime did he commit? Who is the one who accuses the third uncle of harboring thieves? ”

Xiao Zhutou's expression was suffocated. The case of the deposed prince is not clear, and Tang An has already died on the surface, how can He Baihai harbor him? He hurriedly corrected: "This official was ordered to arrest Tang An's remnants, Tang An is a thief in the imperial court!" ”

"Then the little girl may ask Xiao Zhutou again, who is Tang An's remnants?"

Before He Huan's words fell, He Bohai pushed away the people who persuaded him and said loudly to Xiao Zhutou: "My lord, I swear by the sky in Xia, I have never heard the name Tang An in Xia. Who falsely accused me? I'm willing to confront him face to face! ”

Zou hurriedly answered: "It must be that slut who stole more than silver, and wanted to beat a rake!" It's all you, who provoked people with ill intentions, don't say anything if you don't have money, and you will be framed by her again at this time! We have always kept our duty, and we have never heard of any anti-thieves or Tang An. She cried and screamed, wiped her tears and begged Xiao to catch her head: "My lord, you must be discerning, we are all first-class good citizens!" ”

Xiao Zhutou didn't expect that the big case of catching the thief would turn into a bloody farce. As he was hesitating, a catcher stepped forward and whispered to him, "Chief, let's see what they burned." ”

His voice was soft, but He Huan still heard it. She took a deep look at him, and saw him shouting at his companion, pulling open the quilt and rummaging through the black ashes.

He Huan was not worried. Previously, she asked He Baihai and Zou to burn the suspicious calligraphy and paintings, smash the jade jewelry, and then pile up the things used by Shui Ting, pour a little tea, and then set them on fire. In this way, it will not cause a fire, but also smoke a lot of smoke, so that more people know that Shui Ting is a fugitive slave, and Zou is jealous, everything is just a drama of fighting outside the room.

In the midst of the commotion and noise, the catcher who had spoken before suddenly shouted, returned to Xiao Zhutou with a small piece of burnt paper, and said excitedly: "Boss, look, the word 'An'." ”

He Huan said with a smile: "This poor master, if you want to find the word 'An', I think, there are more temples and nunnery, what blessings and health, happiness and happiness, and a safe return home, everything you need." ”

When Xiao Zhutou heard this, he turned around and scolded: "Waste, don't look for it anymore!" ”

Zou saw the catchers rummaging around in the house, and his heart was about to jump to his throat. She glared at He Bohai fiercely, and then cried at Xiao Zhutou: "My lord, I am the plaintiff and the victim, how can you charge us with trumped-up charges?" Isn't this to succumb to good citizens like us? After that, she wiped her tears fiercely and said angrily: "No, I want to find Master Lu to make it clear." She turned and walked out, shouting to the coachman to prepare his horse to go to the yamen, and she was going to beat the drum and cry out for grievances.

Xiao Zhutou had a headache and stepped forward to recover the Zou family, He Baihai stopped in front of him, and tearfully stated his experience of "being deceived", swearing that he didn't know Tang An, he fell into the trap of a female liar, and his family was about to die.

When the farce of the He family was in full swing, Xie San had just seen his returning subordinates and told him that Shen Jinglun was out of the city, just escorting his son to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and there was nothing suspicious in the whole process. At this time, he passed by "Cui Zhu Xuan" and was resting inside.

Xie San was full of disappointment, and then remembered the picture of He Huan and Shen Jinglun staring affectionately, and his mind was full of He Huan's rejection of him sitting on a small wooden bench. After living for twenty years, for the first time, he felt like a clown jumping off the beam. He tried every possible way to spy on Shen Jinglun and monitor him day and night, but he only treated him as if he didn't exist, and lived his life like this, without any reaction at all.

Am I really wrong? Xie San looked in the direction of the Shen family from afar, frowning.

At the same time, Shen Jinglun was also frowning. He stood by the window and looked wordlessly at the acacia tree in the courtyard. A few days ago, he and He Huan were standing under that tree and talking.

Yuan Peng stood behind Shen Jinglun, not knowing what the master of the Dao was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.

After a long time, Shen Jinglun confirmed: "The corpses were all stabbed with a knife, and dozens of knives were stabbed in the body?" ”

"Yes." Yuan Peng nodded hurriedly, "On the way back to the yamen while carrying the corpse, I quietly glanced at it, and the knife on the corpse's neck was ruthless and accurate, the knife edge was smooth, and there was no hesitation. After thinking about it, I couldn't think of such a ruthless killer in Jizhou City. ”

Shen Jinglun didn't answer his words, but asked calmly: "Are there any traces of torture on the corpse?" ”

"Uncle, do you doubt ......" Yuan Peng looked stunned. (To be continued......)
