Chapter 443: The government shows the public to look at the sign at night

The people who got up to work on the fifth watch day were the first to find that on the horse-tethered stake on the side of the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, it was not a horse, but a person.

The three of them were already sleepy, half-asleep and half-awake, but Lu Ergongzi, who had been snoring for a long time, woke up.

He had a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth and couldn't say anything, just looked around in horror. After watching it for a long time, I finally recognized it:

This must be a dream, Lao Tzu actually dreamed of being tied to the door of the mansion? No, no, hurry up and continue to sleep...... This...... Isn't this Xiahou Ye? I was still drinking at his house the day before yesterday, I must have missed him too much......

He closed his eyes and didn't fall asleep yet, when there was a sound in his ears of chattering:

"Who are these people? How did you get tied up here? ”

"I don't know, I didn't hear a sound last night, it can't be that I did something bad and was caught here by a ghost, right?"

"Hey, do you recognize each other?"

"Looking at the clothes, they are all high-ranking officials and nobles, where can we afford to know each other?"

"Look, the sign says their crimes!"

"I'm going to go and write it down with pen and paper."

"Yes, yes, copy it down!"

Lu Ergongzi felt that something was wrong, how could it be so real in his dream?

He opened his eyes and poked him, and Xiahou Ye, who was tied to a horse stake with him, "hummed" twice and did not open his eyes.

It's over, it's not a dream, it's real!

There were more and more onlookers, and those who were supposed to open the door to sell rice porridge, noodles, steamed buns and cakes were all holding their hands to watch the excitement.

A servant wants to buy buns, but when he sees that the door is open, no one is open, and the stove fire is not lit, and then look around, it's not good, why are there so many people around the door of the government?

This official squeezed over, and something really happened, and the horse on the tethered stake became a human! Hurry up and report to the yamen.

"Lao Wang! Why don't you open the door when it's all dawn? There's an accident at the door! ”

"My lord went to the morning court, what are you doing when you open the door...... What did you say? ”

In the morning, Qian Fu Yin went to the morning court, and he walked through the side door from the back hall, and he didn't know that there were still people tied to the front door.

Lao Wang glanced at it twice, quickly closed the door, and went to find the mansion who also lived inside.

However, the gate could not be closed, because the families could not find anyone around, and only saw the faint five-pointed star sign on the gate.

Everyone was panicked, and they hadn't heard that the ghost had drawn stars, so they hurried to the government to ask for someone.

Who knew that when he walked to the door of the mansion, he found the Hou Ye, the son, and the head of the family. One by one, the knots could not be untied, so a knife was found to cut the rope before the person was saved.

"Master Hou, all the money in the family was taken away by the silver-faced Langjun!"

The housekeeper of Xia Mansion said with a sad face, he didn't see it, he heard from Aunt Twenty-six that it was a man with a silver mask.

"Go! Go drumming! Ben Hou wants to enter the palace to sue the royal court, and sue Shun Tianfu Yin for conniving at robbers to rob the Hou Mansion! ”

"That's right! Let's go and sue together! Our house has been looted! ”

Lu Ergongzi also called that he was not the Hou Lord, but he was now the head of the Hou Mansion, and he could represent the Hou Mansion.

Shuntian Fucheng was already wearing an official uniform, and hurriedly ran out to stop:

"Oh, a few adults stay, we have sent someone to the palace to call Fu Yin back, you guys go to the palace first, etc., adults come back, it's not too late to figure things out......"

Xiahou Ye is not so good-tempered, his Danshu iron coupon can still be used twice, and he will sue the emperor if he goes out.

Forget about being embarrassed, and now you still lose money, it's unbearable to be poor!

Several teams of people arrived at the gate of the palace in a noisy, but the palace guards stopped them, and finally only agreed to let Xiahou Ye go in alone.

This story has been full of ups and downs, and the people who eat melon seeds have been deeply watched, and the robbers have left strange marks on the gates of several mansions.

"This mark is shining at night! Now I can't see it at dawn! ”

"I heard from the people in their house that he was a man in black with a mask, tall and mighty."

"Black clothes? Is it a blue-faced fang, holding a soul hook? The hat says 'The world is peaceful'? ”

"That's black impermanence, this is silver-faced Langjun, can it be the same? Idiot! ”

The witty storyteller had already gotten a copy of the "book of sin", and after a little tidying up, the fresh story was told in the teahouse.

In the main hall, Xiahou Ye and Qian Fu Yin stood in the middle, and Qian Fu Yin was sweating profusely and in the clouds.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also in danger, Xiahou Ye didn't say anything about a sign hanging on his body, only about his house being robbed.

The emperor has never encountered someone who dares to blatantly rob in the capital, which is a major event, indicating that the security in the capital is not good and the society is in turmoil......

This was a great test for him, the emperor who had just ascended the throne.

"Xu Zhijin of Dali Temple, Zhang Yue of Jinyi Guard, I order you to work with Shuntianfu to quickly solve the case and find the robbers."

The emperor glanced at Xiahou Ye and said, "I heard that you brought everyone to the palace just now to sue the emperor?" ”

Xiahou Ye stretched his neck and said confidently: "Shouldn't this be?" My father was born and died for Emperor Yongle, and now that his bones are not cold, the Hou Mansion has been bullied so far! ”

The emperor sighed, got up and retreated.

Back in the imperial study, the emperor sat sulking, Xiao Zhong walked in and added the part that Xiahou Ye didn't say just now:

"They all have a sign around their necks that says what they have been guilty of over the years. Also, at the entrance of their house, a five-star with a circle on the outside was drawn, which was clearly told by the bandits that they had done it. ”

Zhu Zhanji picked up the pen and drew a five-pointed star pattern on the paper, Xiao Zhong and Wang Zhen came over and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see any meaning.

"Also, I heard outside just now that someone got a different amount of copper coins at home, the most of which was as much as three hundred, and this Weichen didn't go to verify it."

Zhu Zhanji asked in surprise:

In other words, the money they robbed was divided again? This silver-faced gentleman is really ...... It's hard to fathom...... However, the Marquis of Zhongwu is a general, and there should be government soldiers in the house, so he can also say that he will rob him? ”

"This ...... The specific situation, the minister does not dare to say anything, let's wait for Lord Xu and Lord Zhang to find out. ”

Zhu Zhanji stared at the pattern again, and Wang Zhen added:

"The minister just heard from the attendants, this mark ...... It's very eerie at night......"

"Nonsense! Emperor Taizong said that these strange things are not allowed in the palace, how many heads have you grown! ”

The emperor thought about it and said:

"Otherwise, the two of you will accompany me out of the palace quietly tonight, and I will see with my own eyes what is so strange about this sign."

Within one day, even children in the capital would draw this five-pointed star pattern, but unfortunately, no one knew what paint was used to paint it, and the next night, it still fluoresced on the door.

The dozens of families who got the money all went to the door of their homes to burn incense and bow down: this must be done by the gods!

Zhang Yue and Xu Zhijin investigated the case and found the dinner table of the Song Mansion.

Xu Zhijin also asked curiously:

"What does Uncle Hua mean by this mark?"

"The master said that the country is the circle, we are the five stars with sharp corners, and the circle is the sky of the five stars."
