Chapter 163: Caught
Han Jinyue jumped up and looked left and right, he didn't bring the weapon with him when he was eating wine today, but he saw a plum bottle with a thin neck on the corner of the wall, and as soon as he stretched out his hand and copied it, he rushed out in two steps, and when his figure disappeared, everyone came back to their senses.
Wang was afraid that his son would make a mistake, so he hurriedly shouted,
"Hurry, come on! Let's go and see! ”
Da Miao's heard that there was a thief behind him, and immediately remembered that his third sister was still in the boudoir, so he was frightened and white-faced, and he was about to run away with his skirt, but Han Jun was faster than her, and he lifted the skirt with both hands, and chased after his younger brother with an excited face.
Such a large group of people pounced and squeezed into the backyard, but no one noticed that there was a mother-in-law who had a face and had panicked out of the backyard at this time, and saw the crowd rushing to the side of the dark place to squat, everyone hurled over and no one noticed her, and when everyone passed, the woman hurriedly got up, took three steps and ran to the gate.
This mother-in-law went all the way to the gate of the Han family, and at this time the door was led to the backyard to see the excitement, the gate was empty, the mother-in-law smiled proudly, pushed open the door and stepped out, but a foot stretched out from the stinger, and was kicking on her side.
"Lie down for Grandpa!"
Someone broke off with a shout, but this kick used enough strength, kicked the woman screamed, flew out diagonally, fell on the ground of the bluestone, and couldn't get up for a while, a tall figure came to pull her by the collar, and dragged it to the shadow of the lane......
Han Jinyue was the first to rush into the backyard, and Han Jun's house in this courtyard was pitch black, only Han Qi's house was lit with lights, and the door was wide open.
"Third sister! Third sister, are you okay? ”
The room was empty, Han Jinyue was startled, and hurriedly asked,
"Third sister, third sister, where are you?"
Han Qi walked quickly from behind,
"Shiro!"
Han Qi came over and took Han Jinyue's hand, Han Jinyue looked around with a plum bottle in his hand,
"Third sister, don't be afraid, where are the thieves? Where is the thief, see if the master doesn't beat him all over the ground! ”
Han Qi shrank behind his back and said,
"I slept in bed for a while and felt better, so I wanted to go to the front yard, but I found that the corners of my skirt were dirty halfway through, so I thought about going back to the house to change my skirt, but I didn't expect to come back and see someone in the house, and there was a mother-in-law who I had never seen before walking in front of my house, so I screamed......"
Han Jinyue hurriedly jumped into the house to take a look, and saw that there was nothing unusual in the house, so he jumped out with a plum bottle in his hand.
"Third sister, where is that strange mother-in-law now?"
Han Qi pointed to the gate and said,
"As soon as I yelled, she rushed out of the house and pushed me away and ran out......"
The sisters and brothers said a few words, and everyone outside had arrived, and Da Miao came up and hugged his daughter.
"My sister Qi, but what's the matter?"
Han Qi hurriedly shook his head,
"Auntie, I'm fine!"
Han Shifeng sobered up when he was upside down, came over with a cold face, looked his daughter up and down, and saw that although his daughter's frightened little face was pale, there was nothing abnormal in her body, so he put down half of his heart and asked,
"Where is the thief?"
Han Qi responded,
"She was rummaging around my room, and when I screamed, she pushed me away......"
As he spoke, he pointed to the courtyard door,
"Ran out of the ......"
A group of men chased out again, leaving the female dependents to come over to check the situation in the house, and comforted Han Qi, Da Miao was so frightened that he hugged his daughter's heart, liver and flesh, but Wang's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed,
"How many years have our family lived in this wicker alley, and there has never been a thief in the house, how did we come here today?"
This wicker alley, from the mouth of the alley to the end of the alley, live mostly in the small officials in the capital, they can't afford the house in the inner city, and the house in the outer city is too far away from the imperial city, the wicker alley is at the junction of the inner city and the outer city, not far from the yamen everywhere, and the house price is not too expensive, which is suitable for these small officials to live, so all the small thieves who are mixed on the ground in the capital know this place, but they will not go to this place to start.
There is not much cash to steal in the homes of the petty officials, but it is better to steal the royal relatives in the inner city, as long as they do not move too valuable, most of them will not make trouble for a few days, and even if they touch into the treasury where the treasure is hidden and steal a few things, if the owner does not take inventory of the treasury, he will not find out at all, it seems that these petty officials have a few small coins in their homes, but they are all greedy for money and stingy, and the rice at home is hated to be counted and eaten, and they steal something and shout that half of the city knows.
They don't have much money, they know a lot of people, and they vow to get things back, and the thieves in Beijing consciously do this business, that is, they have to be checked by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they have to be annoyed by the people on the road, so it is better to steal the big officials, so it is rare to provoke this area.
So this wicker alley has always been peaceful, the home is very safe, the Han family has lived here for more than ten years, and the first time they encountered a thief, no wonder the Dao Wang family is suspicious!
Wang's was suspicious, and Xiao Miao's was even more suspicious.
"This ...... This...... That's not right! ”
Why didn't this play be performed according to the book!
Shouldn't it be that Zhang Rongjing pushed into the room, and then his own people pulled their throats, and then everyone in the front yard immediately rushed over when they heard the movement and grabbed Zhang Rongjing in the house?
If Miss Han San sleeps, her clothes are disheveled, and her cloak is the best!
How can this little girl be disheveled, her hair not scattered, and she didn't even see Zhang Rongjing's figure in the room?
Xiao Miao immediately turned around and looked at the mother-in-law behind him, and the mother-in-law also seemed to see something incredible, her eyes widened, and she looked at Han Qi's room with her mouth half open.
Xiao Miao's eyes suddenly rolled to Han Qi and said,
"The third lady can see that the person really ran away, is it one or two, don't you have a party, right?"
As soon as she said this, everyone was immediately startled, and she listened to Xiao Miao's words,
"Let's look in the house again, but don't hide in the shadows!"
As soon as Wang heard that it was reasonable, he hurriedly ordered the humane,
"Hurry! Look around and look for ......."
A group of people hurriedly went around to take a look, and the mother-in-law next to Xiao Miao's was also busy lifting the tablecloth, pulling the curtains on the bed, and turning around behind the screen, and came back and shook his head gently at Xiao Miao's, Xiao Miao's brows tightened, and he loosened again.
Han Qi held Han Jun's arm and stood aside, but he could see it clearly, a cold color flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was withdrawn again.
At this moment, there was a noise outside, and there was a humane,
"Caught! Caught! ”
Wang was overjoyed when he heard this,
"Caught! Good, good......"
This box led everyone to the front again, and sure enough, I saw that there was a face-wrenching woman on the main hall who was tied up with a thick rope and knelt on the ground, Han Jun was most excited when he saw it, and ran to his younger brother in a few steps and pointed to the mother-in-law.
"Where did Shiro catch her?"
Han Jinyue didn't take credit, and responded,
"This woman stole something and wanted to run, but her feet were too anxious and she fell into the alley, and I went out and caught ......"
Han Jun laughed when he heard this,
"This thief also deserves it!"
Saying that, he took two steps forward to look at this mother-in-law, and saw that she was about fifty years old, dressed like the rough mother-in-law in the house, with a horse face and flickering eyes, Han Jun tilted his head and looked at it for a long time.
"I look at this woman, but she doesn't look like the people in our alley!"
This woman's dress is similar to that of the rough envoys of the various provinces in this alley, but her face is very unfamiliar and she is not used to seeing her neighbors, she must be a thief from outside!
Han Shifeng, Fu Wenyong and Zhang Guangxian's wine at this time had already woken up, and they sat in the hall to examine the mother-in-law, if this is an ordinary person, they would have sent this mother-in-law to the yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for interrogation, only today these three are officials, especially that Fu Wenyong is a fellow in the small place of Mahu Mansion, and he is also in charge of security errands, and there are many cases of stealing chickens and dogs!
The Han and Yi people in Mahu Mansion live together, and if they don't agree with each other, they will draw their knives and splash blood for five steps, Fu Wenyong has seen a lot, and it is naturally easy to judge this mother-in-law, and he immediately called the next person he brought.
"Bring the woman to you!"
Someone immediately went over and brought the mother-in-law to the three adults, and the three of them looked at the mother-in-law, and Fu Wenyong asked Han Shifeng,
"Brother Wenming, is this a subordinate of the house?"
Han Shifeng shook his head,
"The people in my house are all people who have followed me for many years, and they are all familiar with each other and don't know this person!"
Fu Wenyong asked Zhang Guangxian again
"But the people in Brother Nanji's mansion?"
Zhang Guangxian looked at it carefully for a long time, frowned, and said,
"I haven't seen this person!"
Fu Wenyong shouted loudly when he heard this, and pointed at the mother-in-law,
"Well, why did you old woman trespass into the official house at night, did she take advantage of people's unpreparedness to steal things?"
The woman only trembled and didn't speak, Fu Wenyong sneered when she saw this,
"If you don't recruit it, it's fine, according to the law of Daqing, those who enter other people's mansions at night for no reason will be not guilty! This is the official house, you trespass into the official house is a crime plus one degree, you can be tied to the tree to show the public, and then hanged, if you don't recruit and are not afraid, tomorrow you will be shown to the public, reward identification, whoever knows your origin can get a reward silver, and then the five cities will find your home, Daqing law and clouds, dirty full of three horses, gather the crowd to kill, the heavy can sit together......"
Fu Wenyong paused and said,
"Do you know what it means to sit together? That is, if the family is a good citizen, it will be reduced to a lowly status, and those who are lowly will be sentenced to imprisonment......"
After that, he shouted,
"If you still think about your children and grandchildren, don't you invite them immediately?"
The woman's body trembled, and finally she spoke,
"Gift...... Your Excellency...... Old...... The old body did not steal ......"
Fu Wenyong sneered when he heard this,
"You didn't steal, why did you enter the official mansion at night?"
The woman answered,
"The old woman was just passing by and was ...... ...... was kicked down, and then he was taken by the lord's house, and the old woman was an innocent person! ”
