At the gate of Zhuangzi, three carriages left quickly in the dark, and the sound of horses' hooves stepped on the frozen hard earth, making a crisp "da-da-da" sound.

A slightly thin figure stood behind the door, watching the carriage fade away in the night, and the sound of horses' hooves fading into the darkness.

He quietly looked around, and saw that the workers were talking and laughing happily after receiving their wages, while packing their luggage and preparing to go home overnight, and the Xie family was also packing up their things in the kitchen.

He quietly went out, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, and quickly ran towards the back of the basement.

The yard was getting farther and farther away, and the cold wind howled in the dark night, making people's hearts beat hard when they heard it.

The figure walked faster, came to the basement house, opened the wooden door of the basement and entered.

The basement was warmer, but darker and quieter, except for the howling of the wind through the vents, which sounded like something was howling.

The figure came to a wall of earth, crouched down and began to grope for it, and then began to pull the dirt with his hands, and in a moment it seemed to find something, and immediately stuffed it into his arms.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly heard a strange noise around him, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and immediately ran out of the basement like the wind.

Hope was in front of him, and just as he ran to the door of the basement house, two people suddenly appeared next to him, grabbed him, twisted his arm behind his back, and then kicked him hard in the crook of the leg, making him lose the ability to escape.

Then two other people came out of the darkness and dragged him out of the basement together.

One of them took out a black cylinder from his bosom, and with a little fire, a white light flew into the sky, and a firework exploded in the dark night sky, which was extremely gorgeous.

The fireworks reflected in the thin man's eyes, shining on his desperate eyes.

…………

The three carriages were walking slowly along the road, and they did not seem to be in a hurry.

Liu Siyun, who was observing the rear, saw the fireworks exploding in the sky not far away, and shouted excitedly: "Caught!" Caught! Turn around and go back! “

The coachman immediately pulled his horse to his halt and turned back to the way he came.

The glass lamp burned in the carriage, and even if the carriage shook again, the flame in the glass lamp burned quietly, and there was no sign of extinguishing it.

"I wonder who the murderer is? Does Xuanxuan already have the answer in her heart? Fu Junzhi looked at Xie Xuan with a gentle smile on his face.

"Why don't we make a bet! Just guess who the murderer is, and whoever guesses can make a request, and the others will try their best to satisfy him, okay? Liu Siyun was very excited, and mentioned the matter of betting again.

"Okay, I agree!" Liu Sinian also said with great interest: "In order to avoid affecting other people's thoughts, let's write the name on paper, if you don't know the name, you can also explain the appearance of that person." How is it? “

Fu Junzhi also nodded in agreement.

Xie Xuan saw that fireworks were set off in the sky, and his heart was also relaxed, so he agreed.

Liu Siyun hurriedly moved to the side of the carriage, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from a gold-painted black lacquer polishing box, grinded it casually, and wrote down the names of the three people on their backs.

Liu Sinian and Fu Junzhi also wrote a few words one after another, and finally Xie Xuan also wrote his name.

"Okay, now that we all have the answer, I'll shout one, two, three, let's show it together!" In the candlelight of the glass lamp, Liu Siyun's eyes were shining, "One, two, three!" “

Everyone showed the paper in their hands together.

"I guess it's Zhang Heizi, I found that he was one of the three people of the Xie family's grandfather, and he must have led people to find him!" Liu Siyun didn't wait for everyone to see it, and immediately said.

Xie Xuan, Fu Junzhi, and Liu Sinian looked at each other's papers, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Siyun grabbed the paper in the hands of the three of them, looked at Liu Sinian, then looked at Fu Junzhi, and finally looked at Xie Xuan, and couldn't help but purse her lips:

"Why did all three of you guess him?"

…………

The fireworks over Zhuangzi attracted the attention of the workers, who found that the fireworks were rising from the direction of the basement house, and the workers were curious, and walked out of the courtyard gate in groups and walked to the basement house behind.

When they reached the basement house, they saw four sturdy servants they had just seen standing there with a thin man holding a torch, as if waiting for someone.

"Lin Chun? What are you doing here? Xie Pingtian saw that Lin Chun's hands were tied behind his back, kneeling on the ground and moaning uncontrollably, and the four servants stood there looking at him.

Lin Shan and Lin Zhu were also a little surprised and stunned, but Lin Chun's father, Lin Hai, had a calm face, staring at the bound Lin Chun and not speaking.

"Uncle...... I ......" Lin Chun saw that everyone was coming, and he was ashamed to get into the cracks in the ground, and when he saw Xie Pingtian asking him, he said hesitantly: "I...... I came to the basement to relieve myself, and who knew that these four people rushed over and tied me up......"

"Humph!" A healthy servant wearing a soap-colored caftan snorted coldly, "It's useless to quibble, let's wait for Miss Xuan to come over!" “

At this time, Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an also seemed to understand something, and their faces gradually turned cold.

Just when he didn't know what to say, he saw three carriages coming, and as soon as they stopped, they immediately jumped out of the car and a little girl dressed in rich clothes, who had come with Xie Xuan before.

The little girl didn't care about everyone looking at her, and immediately rushed into the crowd to see the murderer she caught, and when she saw that it was Lin Chun, her face showed a look of frustration.

At this time, Xie Xuan, Fu Junzhi, and Liu Sinian all came down, and when they saw Lin Chun who was being escorted by a healthy servant, they all showed such a look on their faces.

"Xuanxuan, what the hell is going on? Didn't you escort Li Da and Li Er away? Why did four more people catch Lin Chun? And they set off the fireworks too? Xie Ping'an was headless and brainless, and when he saw Xie Xuan coming back, he asked a series of questions.

Xie Xuan saw that everyone looked puzzled, so he explained: "I arrested Li Da and Li Er before, just to lure the snake out of the hole, let people ambush near the underground house, and wait for the murderer to come back and get the money. After the murderer is caught, fireworks are set off as a signal. “

Looking at Lin Chun, who was kneeling on the ground with his arms locked, Xie Xuan looked inexplicable, sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be you!" “

Lin Chun's face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "You bloody mouths, why do you say that I am a murderer, I just came out to drow......

"Drowning? So what's in your arms! The servant in soap-colored caftan brown ripped off the clothes on his chest, took out a black money bag, and opened it in front of the people, and inside was nearly fifty taels of broken silver and copper coins.

"As soon as Miss Xuan went out, she asked us to lie in ambush near the basement house, saying that someone would definitely sneak over after a while, just catch him." The soap-colored servant looked at Xie Xuan, with a look of admiration on his face, "I was just joking with us, but I didn't expect that after a while, someone really came over secretly, and took out something from the soil and stuffed it into his arms." Miss Xuan really expected things like a god......"

As soon as everyone heard this, the discussion broke out.

"It's not Li Da Li Er, it's actually this kid, he usually looks quite smart, but I didn't expect it to ......"

"The Xie family is really unlucky, why are all relatives like this?"

"This little girl of the Xie family is amazing, if she is a man......"

"It's not good to be too smart, it's fateful, isn't this little girl having a bad life since she was a child? ……“

…………

Everyone was talking about everything, but Xie Xuan just turned a deaf ear.

"Xuanxuan, second brother, Fu Gongzi, when did you find out that the murderer was his?" Liu Siyun asked reluctantly.
