Since the girl came to Wang's house, the queen mother somehow got a lot of energy, took a few pairs of Lang Chinese medicine, her condition gradually improved, and she was able to clean up the housework. But due to excessive grief, the girl became ill again. Wang Da inevitably had to take care of her.

Wang Da was busy and happy, the girl had tired him in the past few days, but he was in a particularly happy mood, busy for his mother, especially for a girl, although she was a strange woman, Wang Da also experienced a kind of pleasure, he vaguely felt: this is probably yin and yang attracting. Every now and then, he often sighs: If he had such a beautiful wife, it would be in vain!

On this day, Wang Da came home from the pharmacy to pick up medicine, and on the way he saw a group of people watching a notice and hurriedly stepped forward to watch. Although Wang Da was poor, he was literate and hyphenated. The notice was to the effect that bandits have been rampant recently, robbing homes and houses, disturbing public order, and making the people miserable.

Wang Da immediately thought that it was time to report the murder of the girl's parents and the looting of her money to the government. Thinking that the girl might be leaving, Wang Da felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. In his thoughts, he turned into the alley where he was located, and suddenly saw a lot of people in front of his door, some of whom knew and some who did not know. Wang Da was taken aback, and before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly separated the crowd and squeezed into the courtyard.

In the courtyard stood in two rows more than a dozen servants, two sacks of gold and silver under the eaves, and the girl stood beside her sobbing incessantly, her weak and thin body seemed to be crumbling, her hands were chained, and the iron ropes were held in the hands of one of the servants, and her mother seemed to be debating something with someone in the house.

When the girl saw Wang Da coming back, she cried to Wang Da: "Brother Wang, the government said that you are a bandit, and I said that my parents were killed, and these belongings belong to my family, and they don't believe it." ”

The king was furious and shouted at the servants, "I am the king, have you arrested the wrong person?"

At this time, a man who looked like an official came out of his house and said to Wang Dadao: "Are you Wang Da?" Wang Da nodded yes.

The ruler commanded one of the officers, "Lock up the king and bring him back to the yamen with the woman and the silver and gold." ”

The king shouted loudly that he was wronged, but the servant ignored it, and with a "bang", he locked Wang Da and led him out of the courtyard gate with the girl.

Wang Da thought that he had been taken away by the officers and soldiers, and he didn't know when he would be able to clear his name and return home, but the old mother's illness was getting better, and he was frightened by this, what should he do if her condition worsened! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said loudly to the house: "Mother, don't worry, I will come back soon after I go to the government to explain clearly." ”

At noon, Huang Tai returned home from Taixue, and the servant Huang An waited for his lunch break. Huang Tai asked Huang An: "Huang An, has Wang Da been to our house today?" Huang Tai went to Taixue a few days ago, and on the way he heard the wailing of the ox led by Wang Da, so he made a hexagram, and the hexagram obtained was extremely strange, although he was extremely confident in his divination technique, and he was still very suspicious when he got the hexagram, so he asked Wang Da for news.

Huang Anyu said: "Master, Wang Da was arrested by the government. I heard that he was a thief, and he robbed his house, and a large amount of gold and silver were found in his house. ”

Huang Tai was shocked, hurriedly sat up from the bed, and repeatedly asked what happened. Huang An told Huang Tai everything he saw and heard. Huang Tai knew that Wang Da was wronged, he was orphaned and widowed, helpless, because he found that the gold and silver were not his own belongings, and entered the official mansion, the feelings of injustice were difficult to discern, if he did not help, his mother and son were afraid that they would be wiped out. Huang Tai immediately instructed Huang An to lead the way to Wang's family.

But he said that the queen mother, despite her open-mindedness, suffered from this unjustified disaster, thinking that she had just recovered from a serious illness and her son was in prison again, not only was she sad from it, but she couldn't extricate herself and cried.

The Queen Mother cried for a while, struggled to sit up, looked at her son's bed in a daze, and did not know how to free him. At this moment, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, and someone asked, "Is the old man at home?"

The Queen Mother quickly wiped away her tears, brushed her hair, and said to the door: "The old man is here, I don't know which distinguished guest it is, please come in!"

Huang Tai came into the house, greeted the queen mother, and asked Wang Da about the arrest. When the queen mother saw her neighbor Mr. Huang asking about her son, she was overjoyed, so she told the cause and effect again.

Huang Tai said: "Old lady, that girl's illness delayed the best time to clarify the facts to the government, and your old use of other people's money to treat the sick may be the key to revealing the secret." ”

The Queen Mother argued: "We have written evidence for other people's money. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper.

Huang Tai took the paper and looked at it, which recorded the amount of silver taels spent on medicine and medical treatment, and there was an explanation at the beginning: Because the woman was sick, the silver taels in the hemp bag were used privately to save the emergency, and they will be returned in the future.

Huang Tai asked, "Didn't the government see this note?"

The Queen Mother said, "I showed them, but they didn't believe it." ”

Huang Tai pondered for a moment, secretly having an idea. Comforted the queen mother and said: "Old lady, don't worry, I will help Wang Da clear his grievances, and hand over this note to me for safekeeping!"

The Queen Mother was grateful. Huang Tai withdrew from the Wang family and instructed Huang An to find someone to take care of the queen mother's diet and daily life, and he went straight to the mansion of the captain of Si Li to hand over the name thorn.

The security of the capital is the responsibility of Lu Polou, the lieutenant of Sili, and he has been quite troubled recently. Not long after the founding of the country, there were robberies in the capital from time to time, and every time a huge merchant and noble official was looted, Lu Polou was reprimanded by the emperor many times for this.

At noon on this day, I overheard the housekeeper report that Taixue sacrificed wine Huang Tai and asked to see him. Lu Polou was overjoyed, and even said that he was invited. Although there are many ministers of the Di nationality regard Huang Tai as a thorn in the side, Lu Polou respects him very much, he knows that although Huang Tai's official position is not high, he is very valued in the emperor Fu Jian, and the Taixue he is in charge of is regarded by the emperor as an important institution for cultivating the ability to govern the country, and his son Lu Guang is also taught in Taixue, and it is unknown whether he may ask for Huang Tai in the future, and he is well versed in easy reasoning and can know the future of people.

After a while, the housekeeper ushered Huang Tai into the study. After greeting the guests, Huang Tai explained his intentions, handed the note of Wang Da's unauthorized use of stolen money to Lu Polou, and told Wang Da's mother and son about being lonely, loyal and honest, and abiding by the law of the country.

Seeing that Huang Tai and Wang Da were neighbors, and knew that Wang Da was selling cattle and other things, he knew that he was caught by mistake, and he should promise to release Wang Da at the moment. Po Lou said: "Recently, several major theft cases have alarmed the emperor, and I have been blamed many times. ”

Huang Tai had actually thought deeply about this matter on the road, and he already had a plan to solve the case in his heart, and when he saw that his mother-in-law was very sincere, he said: "Lord Lu has won the award, according to the old man's opinion, several recent cases of theft and murder are very likely to be committed by a group of robbers." The buyer of the cattle sold by Wang Da is seriously suspected of committing a crime, so why not start from now on, lure the thieves to come forward, follow the vine, and wipe out the thieves. ”

Lu Polou is a very smart person, after Huang Tai's click, the mouth suddenly opened, and quickly stood up to thank him.
