The sky was dark, Zhang Wenxin looked up, and saw that there were black clouds pressing over in the west, but there was still more than half an hour before it was dark. He persuaded Gu Shangshu to be calm and sit down to drink tea.

Then, let the three family members stand in the area they have dug up. One of the family members stood on the east side, drew a range, and said that he had dug it himself, and that he had never seen a vase. The other two stood in the middle, but they quarreled, accusing each other of taking their own territory.

Zhang Wenxin had already paid attention, and Chang Si and they had been digging together for a long time, and they didn't need to pay attention to it, so they remembered everyone's location clearly.

At the moment, he pointed to the slightly shorter man and said: "What you dug up before was clearly the area under the west wall, but now you don't dare to identify it, could it be that there is a ghost in your heart?" ”

The dwarf was immediately startled, his face changed again and again, he collapsed his waist, and only said with a promise: "I'm afraid that the officials are mistaken, the villain dug it, and it is indeed the middle piece......

Another family member who disputed with him argued: "Nonsense, the piece in the middle is clearly dug by me, and everyone can testify!" ”

Zhang Wenxin asked them to pull them away for the time being, and ordered Chang Si to dig up under the west wall. The soil that had just been turned over was unusually soft, and soon, a piece of porcelain was dug up in this area. Digging out with all hands and feet, sweeping away the soil, it was the stolen antique vase.

Gu Shangshu was overjoyed, regardless of the dust and muddy water, he pounced, and said in a high voice and a low voice: "Oh, my heart and soul baby, I can be regarded as getting you back......"

When the dwarf saw that the matter was completely exposed, he wanted to escape, but the catchers were prepared, and as soon as they swarmed up, they took it down and brought it back to the patrol yamen to close the case.

Zhou Xun's envoy was like sitting on pins and needles, watching every inch of time and every inch of gold pass like this, but there was no news for a long time, and he felt more and more anxious. It's not that I don't believe in Zhang Wenxin's talent, but the three-day period, this is the last day, and the time really left for her to solve the case is actually only half a day.

Yongjia City is so big, in just a few hours, it is really difficult for a strong man to find the lost property. It is not yet known whether the vase has been smuggled out of the city.

There was a faint thunder in the sky, and the Zhou Patrol envoy really couldn't sit down, and was about to order someone to prepare a sedan chair, ready to run to see it in person, when he heard a commotion in the lobby in front of him, and the yacha hurriedly came to report, saying that Zhang Wenxin had taken someone back.

The Zhou Patrol envoy hurriedly greeted him, and saw that his people were unharmed and returned triumphantly, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. The fact that this family stole vases and hid them in vegetable fields in an attempt to hide from the world could not be clearer, and at that moment, the Zhou Patrol envoy sentenced him to 20 years in prison and three years in prison.

Originally, I wanted to put on a big feast and wash the dust for Zhang Wenxin, but the sky was not beautiful, and the sky became dark and became the bottom of the pot, and the thunder was tight for a while, Zhang Wenxin was afraid that he would not have time to return to the house and cause chaos again, so he had to excuse himself and choose another day for eating and drinking.

Walking out of the yamen quickly, I only heard a thunderclap, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled and smashed down. Soon, countless raindrops were connected into a line, weaving into one, and the world was confused, and only the sound of flying beads and pouring jade was left in the world.

Zhang Wenxin ran a few steps, turned into an alley, and hid under the eaves of his house.

She fanned her almost soaked clothes, and couldn't help but sigh at the rain: It seems that today is destined to be unable to go back, so she can only make do with it at her mother's house for one night. I don't know if Murong Xi will look for her everywhere when he sees that she doesn't return late at night after he comes back.

If he doesn't look for it, she will definitely go back and explain to him tomorrow morning.

If he did, it would be troublesome, and the whole house would know that he would not return at night. Murong Yanchang's family law seems to be quite strict, and even Murong Qi leaves quietly every time he goes out and returns quietly, for fear that his father will know. I spent the night out this time, and I don't know what kind of crime he will be charged.

After sighing, Zhang Wenxin pushed the door home, ran through the yard, and hid in the house.

Outside the window, lightning and thunder roared, and heavy rain poured in. It was dark in the room, and she couldn't see her fingers, and in a few clicks she touched a candle and lit it. Changing into the semi-wet official clothes, Zhang Wenxin only felt a cold wind in the room, and suddenly hit a spirit. Then, the candle flame also flickered twice.

Zhang Wen didn't think back, and turned around to get the big knife on the table. Who knows, the blade of the knife was only a little out of the sheath, and it was pressed back, and in the rolling thunder, Murong Xi's figure flashed leisurely with a fresh breeze: "Madam, it's me." ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Wenxin heard it, and hurriedly put his hand to protect the candle flame so that it would not be extinguished: "Husband? What are you doing here? ”

"I heard Su Qiu say that you came to Chang'an Fang, so come and have a look. I didn't want to go halfway before it started to rain. ”

Murong Xi was soaking wet, although he brought an umbrella, but in such a torrential rain, no matter how good an umbrella was, it was useless.

Zhang Wenxin took a handkerchief and wiped the rain on his face, complaining and distressed: "Why don't you take the car?" In fact, I don't need to look for it, I'm used to running in the wild every day, not to mention that this is still in Chang'anfang, where I have lived for more than ten years, and it is impossible for an accident to happen. Tomorrow when the rain stops, I'll go back myself. ”

Zhang Wenxin's placket swayed open with her movements, and the close-fitting underwear appeared from time to time, Murong Xi's face was slightly red, and he was not sure whether to avoid it for a while, or whether to take the opportunity to take a look, slightly embarrassed: "I...... I'm not very relieved that you're out there alone...... So come and see, it's really ...... It's worth the trip......"

Zhang Wenxin noticed his abnormality, and was about to ask him if he was drenched in the rain and his brain was flooded, but when he looked down, he saw that his middle coat was open, and his thin underwear wanted to cover it. She was changing her clothes just now, and before she took off her official uniform and put on anything else, Murong Xi broke in.

Zhang Wenxin's face turned red, he hurriedly threw away the wet handkerchief, hurriedly tied his belt, and randomly found a coat to put on, without saying a word for a long time.

Murong Xi picked up the handkerchief she had dropped, wiped his head and face by himself, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he risked the thunder and thunder in the sky and said, "I didn't see anything." ”

Zhang Wenxin sniffed, trying his best to make a nonchalant appearance, and he was also not afraid of the five thunders: "It's nothing if you see it." ”

She could change her clothes when she was wet, but Murong Xi didn't change them, and she was afraid that she would get sick.

Zhang Wenxin turned the wardrobe upside down, but he couldn't find one that was wide enough to hold Murong Xi. I had to give him a change of sheet: "Take off your clothes and wrap them." I promise not to peek. ”

As he spoke, he turned away.

Murong Xi took the sheet from her hand, untied her clothes slowly, calmed down and calm, and said, "What does it matter if you look at it or not?" ”

“……”

Zhang Wenxin was speechless.

At the same time, the room suddenly lit up, and then darkened. Hideous lightning split the sky, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the window paper.

Murong Xi carefully wrapped the sheets, and found a belt to tie around his waist, and he didn't dare to move, lest he miss something if he wasn't careful.

Zhang Wenxin was still a little at a loss, but seeing that his heart was different, he pretended to be relaxed and tangled, and almost didn't laugh out loud. She took the umbrella by the door, but before Murong Xi could stop her, she ran out in the rain, went to the stove room to get a kettle, and brought some dry firewood.

A fire soon lit up in the house, dispelling the damp and cold atmosphere, and the firewood was of good quality, and the orange flames jumped happily, but there was no smoke. Zhang Wenxin boiled hot tea, and Murong Xi held a coarse porcelain tea bowl alone, drank two sips, and warmed it from the inside out.

Murong Xi saw the official clothes on the shelf early in the morning, and when he was free, he asked, "Madame, but you are back to the Patrol Yamen?" ”

Zhang asked, "Yes." Instead of doing nothing every day, find something to do. Coincidentally, this time I came back, and the case was solved. ”

Murong Xi took a sip of hot tea: "Madame is really discerning. ”

Zhang Wenxin waved his hand: "Compared to what I did before, this is nothing at all." Have you heard of the case of the Flying Thieves last year...... You're far away in Qingzhou, and I guess you've never heard of it. That case is wonderful, a group of thieves under the guise of juggling and stealing all the treasury silver of the Dongping County Ya......"

Zhang Wen's heart was like a river, and he talked endlessly.

Murong Xi puffed up from time to time when she was panting: "Dongping County is more than sixty miles away from Beijing, is the case there also under your investigation?" ”

"Originally, it couldn't be beaten with eight poles, but the Dongping County Commander had a relative in the capital, and he was afraid that he would lose his official position, so he found this relative to help, and this relative asked for Zhou Patrol, and we were sent over......"

The rise of Zhang's heart-to-heart talk, the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and when the case was almost finished, he asked: "...... Guess what, the culprit is? ”

It's as simple as that, since the culprit isn't a human being, what's left is something. Murong Xi said: "Could it be that the monkey they raised?" ”

"Yes, it's the monkey."

Zhang Wenxin patted him appreciatively: "They trained that monkey to climb trees and drill holes, just to let it take advantage of people's unpreparedness and take the opportunity to get into the passage that people like air windows can't get through, and steal property." More than a dozen were stolen in Dongping County, but no one suspected that there was some flying thief, who came and went without a trace. It wasn't until they finally stole the county government that they were all caught. ”

After saying this, Zhang Wen's mind was still unfinished, and then, he talked about the five ghost fortune cases from the year before the big one to the time before the arrest. Murong Xi listened attentively, and the earth-shattering thunderstorm outside was ignored by Shengsheng, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, he was shocked to realize that the rain had become smaller, and the thunder was far away in the sky.

Zhang Wenxin added a few more sticks of firewood to the fire, and let out a long sigh, speaking of which, it was when she was a child. Naturally, she remembered the not easy memories of her childhood.

Murong Xi waited for her to continue, but she couldn't wait for a long time, so she asked, "Why didn't Madame say it?" But sleepy? ”

Zhang Wenxin shook his head and said nothing, got up and jumped on the beam, and took something from it down.
