Chang Le touched his nose, pulled his shoes, moved to the side of the couch, fell up, and said: "I was hooked by a goblin in my dream and woke up scared." ”

"Madame is still thinking about the goblin she saw yesterday?"

Yesterday, when Chang Le went back to explain to Shili, he said that he went to a mysterious Taoist house with the lord of Huaiwang Zhai and saw a room of goblins. He also described the goblins in general terms. Of course, it is not a normal thing to say.

Shili was suspicious and didn't interrogate again. At this time, after hearing so much about Chang Le, he immediately believed it, spat a little in the palm of his hand, and slapped it on Chang Le's head.

There was a burst of dampness and heat on the door of the head, and Chang Le, a person who had no habit of cleanliness, had goosebumps all over his body. Knocked Shili's hand off violently, pulled the handkerchief from Shili's arms in a panic, and wiped the spit off his head.

"Shili, you are so immoral, how can you wipe saliva everywhere?"

Shili didn't understand the first half of her sentence, but he only knew that it was a scolding, and smiled back seriously: "Madam, spitting to drive away evil spirits." Shili was afraid that his wife would be possessed by yesterday's goblin. ”

The local method of spitting to drive away evil spirits is only used by Chang Le's grandfathers.

As a materialist with scientific education, Chang Le has always felt that these methods are not only superstitious, but also very unhygienic and immoral! Every time I just listen to the older generation, I am disdainful and bored in my heart.

"Don't do it again."

Seeing that Chang Le was so disgusted, Shili rubbed his palms, his eyes darkened, and muttered: "Madame is really used to living a good life......"

"What?" Chang Le didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Shili smiled again and took two steps back, "I'll go get a basin of water for Madame." ”

As he was talking, Chun Nuan had already brought in the washing water: "Sister Shili doesn't have to do anything, the water is here." ”

Shili sneered: "Then I'll wash my hands." ”

Seeing Shili running out in a hurry, Chang Le bit his lip, realizing that he had spoken too politely just now, and couldn't help but regret a little.

"Madam, did Sister Shili say it just now? The thief caught it, and it was the one that Madame had painted. Chun Nuan noticed Chang Le's unhappiness, so she thought of a way to make her happy.

This is really good news, Chang Le's depressed mind was instantly raised, and he was overjoyed: "Caught it? ”

"yes. The head of the family is really a god, and he is clearly ambushing in the pawnshop in Jin City, but in fact, he has already arranged manpower in other places. The thief had just entered the Linglong jade shop of the Hu family in the west of the city, and before he could steal it, he was caught. The people in the yamen came out and said that the prisoner and the lady had painted exactly the same! Madame is also a man of God! I believe that in the morning, the whole city will hold the head of the family and his wife to the sky! ”

The more Chun Nuan said, the more excited he became.

Chang Le has never questioned her painting skills, even if others praise her as a flower, she will only accept it with peace of mind, and will not be so excited that she will fly into the sky. But Zhang Changxiu's actions shocked her.

It turned out that the previous things about the pawnshops in Jin City having jewelry and the deployment of the lieutenant came out, and they were all ecstasy smoke deliberately released by Zhang Changxiu.

It's ridiculous, every time she discusses it with Lord Huai Wang Zhai so energetically, the result is only to see the surface.

"Taishou is a good Taishou." Chang Le praised sincerely, "Sure enough, people can only do a good job." ”

is a good guard, but not a good husband.

……

Thirteen county towns, county prisons.

There was a terrible scream from inside.

The two jailers guarding the cell door had already heard the numbness. The small-eyed jailer on the left glanced at the sinknose jailer on the right, and was relieved to see that he was as impatient as he was.

The little eyed jailer said, "It's been all night, and the master hasn't come out yet." ”

The jailer with a collapsed nose did not squint: "That thief must not have been recruited yet, I heard the brothers in the previous class say that this cry has not stopped all night." ”

"This is certainly not an ordinary thief, otherwise, would the lord be tortured like this? However, our lord is really a god. A while ago, I went around every day to buy jewelry for my wife, and it turned out to be a pretense, but in fact, I was checking the traces of thieves! ”

"Master's divine might, where can you and I know. Those who are waiting to see the master's good show and laugh at the master all day long will slap themselves in the face this time. ”

As he spoke, a jailer brother came out of it, carrying a handful of scarlet rags in his hand, and threw it in front of the two of them. If you look closely, the rags are covered in blood, and they haven't even dried out. The faces of the two jailers changed, and they subconsciously took two steps back.

This garment was the thief's coat, which was supposed to be black, but now it was not visible at all, and it was completely soaked in blood.

"The cell boss told you to help throw away your clothes."

The small-eyed jailer frowned and said, "You just throw it away, and you can also ask our brothers to get their hands dirty." ”

"The cell boss is waiting inside. Wow, that fine mouth is really hard, and he said it all over again, but it didn't even make a useful word! I'm tired of most of our brothers, and I can't sleep yet! ”

The jailer cursed and went back to his cell.

The little eye-eyed jailer's eyes lit up, and he immediately approached the flat-nosed jailer: "Did you hear that?" I just said that this thief is a fine worker. I said, how could he be an ordinary thief? I'm still a Yuguo person! ”

The jailer chose to protect himself, pretending not to hear about it, and picked up the bloody tattered clothes next to him with his scabbard.

The scabbard stained by his torn clothes was covered in blood, and with another piercing scream coming from inside, his fat face was tangled and his intestines were knotted.

"Two brothers, it's not over yet?"

Liu San, who had just rushed over from the back hall of the county yamen, was startled by the terrible ghost scream, and looked at the clothes on the jailer's knife with a collapsed nose, and felt a chill.

The small-eyed jailer said, "No, it's been interrogated all night." Why is Brother Liu here? ”

"Master Thorn Shi is looking for us to guard too much, I'd better hurry in and pass the word." Liu San frowned, gritted his teeth and ran to the prison, as if there was a ghost behind him.

The small-eyed jailer wiped the sweat on his head: "It's a shame that he went in by himself, but I didn't dare to go in." He hadn't been here for a long time, and it was the first time he had met this scene, and the numbness of the jailer with the bridge of his nose was calm and he couldn't learn.

Just when the jailer with a collapsed nose came back with his bloody clothes, a gust of wind blew out from the prison, and three people blew out.

Liu San took the lead in front, Zhang Changxiu walked in the middle with a black face, and Master He followed indifferently.

The little eyed jailer saw that Zhang Changxiu was like a judge Hades who came out of the underworld, and he was much more ruthless than his usual majesty. Immediately hang your little head and stare at your toes.

Zhang Changxiu, under the leadership of Liu San'er, went all the way back to the back hall of the mansion. didn't bother to change into the stained official uniform, just simply washed his hands and face, and went to see Jiang Congshan.

He still has to go back to continue the interrogation, and the prison is only temporarily handed over to Sun Tou.

If he doesn't pry that hard mouth open today, he will never give up.

"Jiang Thorn History, wait a long time. I don't know what to do with this officer? Zhang Changxiu didn't beat around the bush, and asked Jiang Congshan when he entered the door.

In his opinion, Jiang Congshan is delaying his time now.

Jiang Congshan got up in a hurry, looked at the blood stains on the cuffs of Zhang Changxiu's official uniform, and frowned: "You were executed?" ”

"If you don't eat the soft ones, you will naturally come to the hard ones." Zhang Changxiu explained indifferently.

Jiang Congshan said: "Then what can you ask?" ”

"Ask out......" Zhang Changxiu sneered, took a sip of hot tea, and the night's inquiry made his mouth dry, and he was also irritable, "His name is Jade Thief, thinking that our big clan is vast and rich, so he stole here in our thirteen counties." There was no useful information at all. ”

Jiang Congshan was suspicious: "Then he is really not an enemy country, is we thinking too much?" ”

"The dagger on his body that sharpens iron like clay is not ordinary, and there is such a dagger on the fine work that Jinnan County caught last year."

Last year, he didn't even die, and finally committed suicide. This matter was known only to the upper officials, and the Holy Lord secretly ordered the counties bordering Yuguo to strengthen their defenses.

Jiang Congshan also believed it when he heard this: "It seems that Yuguo's side is eyeing our thirteen counties, so this matter should be reported quickly, and the punishment will be judged from above, and you will not be tried again." ”

Zhang Changxiusen smiled coldly: "Assassin Shi thinks that this matter can still wait until the top makes a decision?" ”

"This is a big matter, and it's not something we can decide at will. Listen to me, and this man will have to save his life. Jiang Congshan saw that he was silent, only as if he agreed, and his face became pleasant, "You haven't told me about the twists and turns, how did you know that this thief would go to the Hu family in the west of the city?" ”

Zhang Changxiu listened to Jiang Congshan's words, and already had an idea in his heart, so he was not in a hurry at this time, so he sat down and made it clear before and after.

In the previous theft cases, Zhang Changxiu found a clue after inspecting the scene several times and asking witnesses many times.

First, the witness unintentionally confided that the thief had a strong stench, and Zhang Changxiu did smell it at the scene. Second, although the stolen shops are all large households, they also have one thing in common, that is, there is a beef and mutton shop next to them.

Based on these two points, he clearly laid a trap in Jin City to divert the attention of the whole city, including the thief. Secretly, I was looking for those jewelry shops with beef and mutton soup shops next to them. There are very few shops like this.

Therefore, he entrusted King Huai and asked King Huai to mobilize his personal guards and secretly keep an eye on these families.

Besides, he wandered around the jewelry shop when he had nothing to do, and said to the public that he was picking out jewelry for his wife.

First, in order to perform, he blindly felt confident in his arrangements in Jin City, telling everyone that he was already playing with confidence, so that the thieves could relax their vigilance; Second, in order to always pay attention to the dynamics of each jewelry store, to see if there is any smell of the scene of theft.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Zhang Changxiu found the smell of the smell in the Hu family's exquisite jade shop. asked the witness to go to identify it, and after it was roughly determined, he immediately sent additional people to secretly protect Yuxing.

Just yesterday, the thief who was caught was caught.

"It turns out that Zhong Nan joined forces with King Huai earlier?" Jiang Congshan suddenly realized, it turned out that from beginning to end, King Huai knew it.

Zhang Changxiu said with a smile: "Exactly, in order not to startle the snake, at this time, it has always been carried out secretly between the official and King Huai, and he has not informed Jiang Tingshi, which has frightened Jiang Tingshi for a long time." ”

"It's nothing if the official is frightened, it's good to catch the person. This follow-up can be dealt with, and we can no longer fold a fine work in our hands. ”

"But according to the official's opinion, this person doesn't have much ability, but he is just here to provoke the official."
