Chapter 3 The case of horse theft, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers

I'll you......

"Lingxiao Yin Ce" broke through the third realm, and the little carpenter was officially promoted to a first-class player in the rivers and lakes this time, and it was when he was in a good mood, but when he opened his eyes, he heard such bad news, as if a cockroach floated in the soup during dinner.

That disgusting, Sensei was depressed.

He jumped out of bed, opened the door, and saw the shopkeeper standing in the doorway, his face full of anxiety.

The little carpenter asked, "When did it happen?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "I saw the chores in the stables when I got up in the morning to feed. ”

The little carpenter frowned and said, "Don't you arrange for someone to guard it at night?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "It must have been arranged, we are such a big inn, everything is regular, but it's just ...... Well, you'd better come and take a look with me, and then talk about it. ”

The little carpenter had no choice but to change his clothes, and then followed the shopkeeper outside.

All the way to the backyard of the inn, when he came to the stable, he found that in a corner of the stable, a deep pit with a diameter of three or five feet had been dug out, and he was a little shocked.

The shopkeeper who followed up said: "Our people are on night duty at the door, but the horse thief unknowingly dug out such a hole and transported away your white horse, this is really no way to ......."

The little carpenter pointed to the pit and looked incredulous: "Are you deaf people who are on duty at night?" With such a big pit, can't you hear any movement at all? ”

The shopkeeper shouted into the pit: "Three stunned, you come out." ”

Someone in the pit answered, and then a gray-faced boy came out, and the shopkeeper said: "Three stunned, this is the owner of the white horse, you tell him." ”

The kid said with a sad face: "Big brother, I really didn't hear it, this guy really didn't move at all." I tell you, I can hear the slightest neighing and tossing of horses......"

When the little carpenter saw that the man had drilled into a deep pit and that his head, face, and body were covered with mud, he could not bear to blame him, so he asked, "Where does the hole lead?" ”

The three stunned replied: "In a courtyard next to Dongmen Street, it's almost three or four feet away from here." ”

The little carpenter asked, "Did you find anything over there?" ”

The three stunned shook their heads and said no.

The little carpenter saw that this kid was a little stupid, so he didn't ask any more, but turned around, looked at the shopkeeper, and then asked, "What about your boss?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "When I heard the news, I went to report to the official as soon as possible." ”

Although the horse was stolen, the inn handled it quite thoroughly, and the little carpenter couldn't find any reason.

He was thinking about whether to go down to the pit to search and see if there were any clues left, when a few people came to the courtyard, and the leader was naturally Hua Sanniang, the proprietress of the inn, and she was followed by several uniformed dukes.

The previous one, a middle-aged man with serious eyebrows and eyes, stepped forward, glanced at the little carpenter, and then questioned him about his situation.

This is a bad person, even if the little carpenter doesn't like it, he can only deal with it carefully, fortunately, he is the owner, and Hua Sanniang is circling around, so he didn't check too much, and Hua Sanniang helped both sides to make an introduction.

Only then did the little carpenter know that the other party was the sheriff of Yange Town.

Of course, sheriff is a fashionable name nowadays, and in the past, it was a patrol and fast arrest.

In fact, this sheriff called Luoding Mansion has really done the patrol of the Qianqing Dynasty before, and according to Hua Sanniang's introduction, this is a great god, and he is famous in the entire northwest territory, so he was invited to Yange Town and became the official sheriff.
