The rain was fierce, lightning and thunder, and it rained for two whole hours. All the forbidden troops in the palace were drenched by the rain, but no one scolded God, everyone was scolding the damn thief.

The commander of the front division of the palace, the Yin of the Kaifeng Prefecture, the deputy commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard, the horse infantry army in front of the palace, and the heads of several major guard forces in Tokyo all gathered together to study the case of the palace snitch.

The motive is very clear, it is to come to the five thunder Tiangang of Ling Xiao Pavilion Lin Lingsu. According to Zhang Fang's investigation results, the thieves did not walk on the ground at all, so they were not discovered by the night patrol forbidden army.

So how do you catch a thief?

Lin Lingsu, the owner of Lingxiao Pavilion, provided a unique clue that Wang Han, a disciple of Xuannu, had fought with this snitch.

Hearing this, Gao Yu immediately sent someone to call Wang Han.

Not long after the people were sent out, they came with Wang Han, saying that they happened to meet behind the Daqing Palace.

It's really a coincidence, the rain is heavy in the early morning, the forbidden army is on duty, the night guard who has been drenched in rain for two hours is in a hurry, and the day shift is dressed in a coat on top, less than a third of the pillar incense is on the post, Wang Han came out of the harem wearing a hat in a robe, and was stunned when he met the forbidden army at the door, and asked: "Change shifts, didn't Xu Bantou come?" ”

The forbidden army is inexplicable, how did the king protector come out of the harem early in the morning? But this doubt only flashed in his mind, and he didn't dare to ask, but the other party was a Taoist immortal who was given by the emperor to the fish talisman, so he replied in a proper manner: "Xu Bantou went to Lingxiao Pavilion, and I heard that Lingxiao Pavilion was on fire last night. ”

When Wang Han heard this, he walked to Lingxiao Pavilion, and met Xu Ning who had just turned out at the door, greeted them and asked what was going on. Only then did Wang Han know that the palace was robbed last night.

Xu Ning asked Wang Han, "It's raining heavily early in the morning, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

Wang Han sighed, full of displeasure, "It's not because of the steel mill, the Ministry of Industry has not given permission for more than half a month, I am anxious to scratch my heart, I am really angry, so I came to the harem to find the official." ”

Xu Ning was surprised, "Harem? So how do you get there? ”

Wang Han said with a smile, "It's just a momentary anger, I really went, and I didn't dare to knock on the door, who would dare to disturb the dream of the official family?" As he spoke, he smiled at the two forbidden army brothers who were guarding the arch of the back garden, and almost took out a cigarette and handed it out.

After discussing it here, and talking about the snitch last night, Wang Han came to be curious, and Xu Ning said, "I don't know the specifics, if my brother asks, I will go to the front of the Vertical Arch Palace, and the Kaifeng Mansion and the front of the palace are all there." ”

Wang Han then went to the vertical arch hall, but on the way he happened to meet the forbidden soldiers looking for him.

What a coincidence.

Entering the vertical arch hall, Wang Han asked everyone how to speak, and without waiting for everyone to speak, Wang Han first took out two wire grenades from the cloth bag and explained to Gao Yu that he had developed a new type of firearm and wanted the officials to see it.

Gao Yu waved his hand, waited for the firearms first, and asked directly, "Have you ever heard of a person named Galen?" ”

"Galen?" Wang Han shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Several people looked at each other, and Lin Lingsu looked suspicious, "But the thief last night clearly talked about you." ”

Wang Han was shocked when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, I never make friends with thieves." ”

Lin Lingsu explained, "It's not that you have friends with thieves, but that thieves have fought with you, and he said it himself." ”

Wang Han's expression was solemn when he heard this, and then he was embarrassed, "Fight with me?" Ever since I defeated Master Zhou Tong, I have been asked to compete with me every day, and there are a lot of people...... Does the Taoist have any other clues? ”

Lin Lingsu said: "He speaks the Chinese dialect in Shu. ”

Wang Han glared when he heard this, "Shuzhong dialect? I know, there is such a person, extraordinary skills, some ability, it is said that he has cultivated the Vajra does not destroy the body protection magic skill, and the body is invulnerable. ”

This remark made everyone stare at him, and Gao Yu was the first to ask, "What is King Kong's non-bad body protection skill?" ”

Wang Han gestured in the middle of the field, lunging and strangling, raising one arm upward, "As long as he makes this posture and shouts Demacia, his body will become extremely hard and invulnerable." ”

Everyone is surprised, there is such a miracle martial art in the world?

Wang Hanxu had a matter, "Yes, he fought with me for more than 200 rounds, no matter up or down, and then proposed to compare spear skills, his spear skills are not as good as mine, so he used the King Kong not bad body protection magic skill." Although I can defeat him, I can't pierce his miracles, so it's a tie. ”

When Wang Han said this, everyone else was stunned, but Lin Lingsu was the only one, his face turned pale with fright, and he seemed to be crying.

Zhang Fang of the Dragon Guard was still surprised, "What's going on with that Demacia?" ”

Wang Han replied: "Maybe it's a spell, just like the thunder and lightning spell of the Lingsu Daoist, you have to recite the spell before casting it." ”

No one cared about Wang Han's interruption, and Xu Yanfu of Kaifeng Mansion asked: "Since you have tried, do you still remember his appearance?" ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Wang Han said, very consciously, "But do you want me to draw his appearance? Then let's find Xu Pingshi. ”

At this point, the case of the palace thief has been solved, and the rest depends on the appearance described by Wang Han.

Everyone was going to disperse, Wang Han was still not convinced, and stepped forward to ask Gao Yu about the matter of the steel mill, and then urged the officials to produce 100 steel-making artillery in large quantities, which could really increase the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty by two or three grades.

Gao Yu thought so deeply and said that he would definitely mention it, so that Wang Han could rest assured.

When the rain stopped outside, Wang Han's heart was also put down, he took off his hat, faced Donghua Gate, and went out step by step.

Don't be a thief in the palace again, someone said in his heart.

……

……

In no matter three or two days, the streets and alleys of Bianliang are plastered with bounty notices, on which a handsome man is painted with a heroic and dashing man, wearing mighty armor and holding a broad-edged sword, majestic and high-spirited, looking at the front with resolute eyes. There is a text note next to it: Galen, the bounty snitch, is seven feet tall, has a stout physique, and has a southwestern accent......

Not only did notices be posted in the city, but the forbidden army at the gates of the inner and outer cities was also strictly guarded, inspecting everyone, including sedan chairs, carriages, and wagons.

Two or three days after the post was posted, Kaifeng Mansion received two reports, one was the young lady of the brothel on Mahang Street, who said that she had received a special guest two years ago, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her physique was not strong, and she claimed to be a native of Demacia, named Galen, and on the night he came, Sihai Building was stolen, and the government determined that the thief was from the brothel.

This clue went up, Kaifeng Mansion immediately searched for the file, and sure enough, it was found that there was indeed a theft case of Sihailou two years ago, and the clue was traced to Galen, and it was gone. Fu Yin immediately called the head catcher who was in charge of the Sihailou case back then and asked for details.

The second report is Lu Qian and Lu Yuhou personally narrated that there was also a theft in the house a few months ago, and the thief called himself Galen, and his physique was not as majestic as in the portrait, and he spoke the Guanzhong dialect.

Wang Han asked Xu Zhen to finish the portrait and was about to go to work on the cannon building, but he was entangled in the snitch case and had to discuss it together to assist in the arrest of the murderer.

Now in charge of the Galen case is the former commander of the Dragon Guard Zhang Fang, because the palace was robbed, he was transferred to Kaifeng Mansion as the head of the arrest, also a five-rank military attaché, with a dragon letter in his hand, he can mobilize the nearby forbidden army to cooperate with the thief as appropriate.

The synthesis of this information made Zhang Fang embarrassed, so he gathered the young lady of the brothel, Lu Qian, Wang Han, Lin Lingsu and others together to paint a portrait of Galen.

Wang Han pointed to his portrait, "The Galen I saw is like this, and I don't know anything else." ”

Lin Lingsu and Lu Qian's confessions are the same, both saying that Galen wears black clothes and a mask, and his figure is not particularly majestic, but there is a divine power that is true.

As for the bean sprout-like teenager described by Miss, Wang Han directly ignored it and sneered: "If this big fart kid is Galen, he can fight with me for 200 rounds, and I don't want to be the number one in the world." ”

When talking, Miss slanted eyes.

The young lady did not dare to look at him, trembling, only promised, and naturally had twelve doubts in her heart, thinking that he was like Galen, but she was not sure. After all, the teenager two years ago was swollen and enlarged in appearance and body at this time, and he didn't meet often, so it was really hard to recognize.

Lu Qian and Lin Lingsu were also embarrassed, they could only draw Galen wearing a mask, as for Galen's figure, Lu Qian said a joke, "Haha, if the Wang Han brothers wear a set of night clothes, I'm afraid that it will be almost the same as that Galen." ”

Saying this, it also mobilized the nerves of Lin Lingsu and Zhang Fang to stare at Wang Han.

Wang Han snorted and said with a smile: "Then let Zhang Zhutou catch it according to my shape, maybe I can really catch it." ”

Several people laughed haha: joke, joke.

After the case was discussed here, it couldn't be investigated, and Zhang Fang had no choice but to say that the case was over, and then look for other clues.

After a few people retired, Zhang Fang left Lu Qian alone and asked in detail, but Wang Han was too lazy to inquire. I am very clear in my heart, and if you catch a thief, you can either catch the current or take the stolen goods, and there is no other way to get rid of these two things.

If he was an unidentified person, he might have been arrested and tortured, but now he has an official body. Even if he doesn't have an official status, he still has the title of Taoist priest given by the emperor, this title is not for nothing, he is the emperor in the whole world.

If you want to say that the official family is obsessed with superstition and worships, and knows everything inside and outside the court, as far as the reward is concerned, the opening is a thousand taels of gold, which is equivalent to 20,000 yuan of silver. According to the current minimum consumption level of a family of five in Tokyo, 20,000 yuan is enough for them to eat for 50 years!

But then again, in Zhao Ji's eyes, 20,000 guan is only equivalent to a paper fan in which Cai Jing wrote a four-line poem - so Cai Jing was really unjust because of this matter. Xiang Empress Dowager said well, the people in the court are obsessed with the art of calligraphy and painting, that is the country's difficulty, but it is a pity that the Empress Dowager Xiang died too early, otherwise she could still see with her own eyes how the artist she chose the emperor did.

Zhang Fang left Lu Qian to talk, Wang Han and Lin Lingsu left first, the two stood still outside Kaifeng Mansion, and bowed hands to each other, Wang Han said long and slow.

Lin Lingsu didn't leave, he stopped talking, and asked with a smile: "Where does the Wang Protector want to go?" ”

Wang Han laughed, scratched his head, and was a little embarrassed, "Wait for someone." ”

Lin Lingsu was puzzled, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Wang Han raised his eyebrows, "Oh, it's her." ”

While speaking, the young lady stuck to the outer edge of the steps of Kaifeng Mansion, and went down shyly, wanting to go back to the brothel by herself. Seeing the two big carriages at the door, especially Wang Han standing in front, she was a little scared and wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Wang Han: "Sister, go slowly, I will go with you, and I will give you a ride." ”

The young lady was weak and didn't dare to agree, so she excused herself and said: "If you don't work for the big officials, the slave family can go by yourself." ”

Where is Wang Han willing to let go, haha twice, strode over, scooped up the young lady's arm, and smiled wetly, "Come on, it's warm in the car, and it's not that you won't be paid." As he spoke, he pulled and pulled in front of the carriage, picked up the young lady horizontally, put her on the carriage, and got into it himself.

After entering, a woman laughed in the car and shouted, "Big official, don't be like this, can't be like this, ahaha~, big official, stop." ”

The coachman sat on the wheel, his face was gloomy, and he shook his head speechlessly, it was worthless for Li Qingzhao, the female daughter of his own family, but he had no choice but to shake the whip in his hand: Drive!

Wang Han's car was in front, Lin Lingsu's car was behind, followed all the way, and when they arrived at the brothel on Mahang Street, Wang Han's car stopped, and the young lady got off the car with a crimson face, her expression was happy, and she saluted the car, "The official walks slowly." ”

The car started, and she shouted behind her: "The official is coming again." ”

All the way back to Xiaoyu Street, Lin Lingsu still followed, Wang Han was happy in his heart, it seemed that this old way was hooked.
