In the inner courtyard of Luoning County, in the study of Wang County Lieutenant, Nie Xiaohu was sitting on the chair on the left side of the bookcase, there was an open wooden box on the bookcase, the wooden box was empty, and the chair on the right side of the bookcase was sitting on Wang County Lieutenant, at this time Wang County Lieutenant was frowning, bowing his head and sighing.

"My lord, when did the official seal go missing?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a frown.

"Yesterday, after I was busy with business, I went out for a walk, and when I came back at night, I found that the box containing the official seal was empty, and the loss of the official seal was a felony, if I let the above know, it was a trivial matter for me to lose this black yarn hat, and I was afraid that it would ......."

"Alas!" , County Lieutenant Wang sighed, "Nie Zhutou, you must not leak this matter!" ”

"I understand", Nie Xiaohu nodded, frowning and thinking about it.

"My lord, who can touch this official seal on weekdays?"

"This? Let me think about it", Wang Xianwei thought for a while and said, "In addition to me, there are only Li An and Wu Huawen who are on duty in front of the hall, and the two of them are responsible for sorting out the court case after leaving the hall every day and sending the official seal to my study. Could it be one of the two of them? ”

"There is a possibility", Nie Xiaohu nodded and said; "And who was on duty yesterday?"

"It's Ang Lee."

"My lord, I don't know if you have a grudge against this Li Anke?"

"No", County Lieutenant Wang frowned and thought about it, then shook his head.

"By the way, although I don't have any grudges with Li An, but I have a bit of a holiday with Wu Huawen, just a few days ago, Wu Huawen's younger brother relied on his brother to do things in the yamen, bullying the neighbors, and people sued me, I didn't favor him, and reprimanded him a few words afterwards, let him take care of his family, he may have a grudge for this, but it was not him who was on duty yesterday."

Nie Xiaohu nodded, stood up and said, "My lord, I'll go to Li An first to find out about the situation." ”

County Lieutenant Wang also stood up and said with a worried face: "Nie Zhutou, this matter depends on you!" ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will do my best to retrieve the official seal!"

After Nie Xiaohu left, he went straight to Li An's house.

"Nie Zhutou, why do you have time to come to me?" , Li An, who was watering in the vegetable patch in the yard, saw Nie Xiaohu's arrival, hurriedly put down the bucket in his hand, and said with a smile while wiping his hands on the placket.

"Pouring the ground!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded with a smile.

"If you have nothing to do, water the vegetable garden, Nie Zhutou, please sit in the house!" , Ang Lee stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

In the living room, the two sat down separately, Nie Xiaohu was not polite, and as soon as he sat down, he went straight to the topic.

"I'm here to ask you something."

"Nie Zhutou asked, I know everything, and I have no end to it!"

"Hmm!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded and asked, "You were on duty in the hall yesterday, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" , Li An agreed, and looked at Nie Xiaohu suspiciously.

"Then what did you do after Lord Wang got out of the hall yesterday?"

"After you get out of the hall?" , Li An frowned and thought for a while, and said, "After the lord got out of the hall, I cleaned up the hall case as usual, sent some official documents and official seals to the adult's study, and then left. ”

"Did anything else happen during this time, like meeting someone or something?"

"No?" , Ang Lee shook his head and asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong?" ”

"Nothing really happened? Think about it again", Nie Xiaohu accentuated his tone.

"Let me think about it...... Oh yes! It's a trifle! Ang Lee seemed to remember something.

"What's the trifle?"

"That's the case, after the adults got out of the hall yesterday, I cleaned up the hall case, and was about to go to the adult's study, suddenly a stomachache, I really couldn't hold it back, it happened that Wu Huawen passed by the door of the lobby, so I stopped him and asked him to help look at it for a while, he agreed, and then I ran to the toilet, and after coming out of the toilet, I thanked him, and sent the items to the adult's study, and then left."

"I see", Nie Xiaohu nodded thoughtfully.

Before Li An could speak, Nie Xiaohu stood up, hugged his fist at Li An and said, "There is still urgent business to be done in the future, so I will leave!" ”

After speaking, Nie Xiaohu turned around and walked out of the living room, and left quickly, leaving Li An standing alone at the door of the living room and wondering.

"Lord Wang, I already know who stole the official seal," Nie Xiaohu said as soon as he entered County Lieutenant Wang's study.

"Really!?" , County Lieutenant Wang stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Who is it?"

"Wu Huawen!"

"It's really him!" , Wang County Lieutenant slapped the table, "I'll send someone to arrest him!" ”

"Wait!" , Nie Xiaohu stretched out his hand and said, "At present, we can only confirm that he did it, but we have no evidence, if he hides the official seal, we can't find it, and then deny it, things will be difficult to do, besides, we can't openly go to his house to search for the official seal, in this way, wouldn't everyone know that the official seal was stolen?" ”

"This?" , County Lieutenant Wang frowned, flicked his sleeves, and said anxiously, "Nie Zhutou, then what do you say I should do?" ”

The corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this matter is easy to handle, you just need to do this......"

"Nie Zhutou, it's really yours, hahahaha", after listening to Nie Xiaohu's words, County Lieutenant Wang laughed happily.

In the early morning of the next day, outside the Luoning County Hall, a carriage was parked, and the car was loaded with two wooden boxes.

"Next month is the birthday of Lord Yin Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion, I have prepared a gift to personally go to congratulate, during this period official business is suspended, and I will deal with it when I come back!"

County Lieutenant Wang said loudly.

"Yes, sir!" , everyone in the court agreed.

"Wu Huawen!"

"Yes, my lord!" , Wu Huawen came to the front of Wang County Lieutenant, and arched his body, "What do you command?" ”
