Xin Yi made a big fuss.

The news spread quickly.

The king of Guangling County, the king of Jingzhao County, and the eldest girl of Caofu were all caught in the theft case by her. Even people who don't know her have asked someone one after another, where is this little lady sacred?

Kaifeng Mansion immediately sent Zeng Qinda and Meng Shao, the magistrate, to lead more than a dozen servants, and went to Zhangjia Village in a mighty way-

The village was already in turmoil.

Both the judge and the magistrate are in charge of prison proceedings, and they are not strange to all kinds of criminal cases, but they have never seen such thieves.

"It's just a matter of stealing hairpins and rouge buckles, why did you steal them along with the cat?"

Living things are different from dead things, living things can make sounds, how to steal them?

Xin Yi said: "The folk girl also wonders, what is this thief trying to do? Fortunately, the thieves left footprints. Please come with me, sir. ”

The footprints are scattered next to the courtyard wall and the strychnine tree, which is very messy, but because of the evenly sprinkled plant ash, it is very clear.

Meng Shao squatted down, carefully observed the footprints, and frowned.

"It's an adult man's shoe print, and there's nothing special about it......"

A powerful trace appraiser can deduce the person's height, shortness, fatness, and even age through the footprints and shoe prints left by the murderer.

Xin Yi didn't dare to expect this magistrate to have such expertise, but she thought that there were inspectors and spies from the Imperial City Division in the village, and the dog didn't bark last night, so no one should have come in......

Then, the scope of the search is small.

Xin Yi said: "My lord, please look at the lines and stitches on the shoe prints......"

Zeng Qinda said: "Ordinary farmer's shoes, most of the shoe stores in Bianjing City are like this, what's so special?" ”

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "Lord Zeng doesn't know, I have a manifestation medicine. As long as the adults give the order, let all the men in the village step on the evenly sifted grass and wood ashes, and I will apply medicine to the seal, and I will definitely be able to find the difference. ”

"This ......"

Zeng Qinda hesitated.

"If you are so excited, I have to report to Lord Zhang first......"

Xin Yiguaner: "Isn't this Zhangjia Village an adult, do you have the final say?" When the case is solved, the King of Guangling County, the King of Jingzhao County, and Miss Cao will all thank Lord Zeng for your ......

·

Gao Miao came the fastest.

What rouge buckle did she ever give Xinyi?

The cunning woman took the feathers as arrows, and threatened her silently, so that she would be reluctant to use them for her—

Gao Miao was afraid, what if it was the belly pocket that was stolen?

Falling into the hands of thieves, she still wants to be shameless?

The gentleman of Jingzhao County angrily beat his horse into the village, and when he saw Xin Yi, he asked coldly, but after listening to Xin Yi's suggestion, he agreed without saying a word.

"Do as she says." Gao Miao gritted her teeth, "I want to see which thief dares to be so bold." ”

With the endorsement of Jingzhao Junjun, Zeng Qinda dared to disobey his orders.

The young and strong men in the village were all called to the scene by Zeng Qinda.

Xin Yi asked the lover and Xiang Ling to sprinkle the ashes of the plants and trees on the soft soil, and said to Meng Shao:

"My lord, please let the men in the village walk from one end to this end in groups of six. After walking a group, I will continue to sift the ashes until the comparison is complete......"

The scene was surrounded by people in the village.

One by one, they stretched their necks and held their breath, for fear of missing the excitement.

The atmosphere was particularly tense.

The people who walked in front of her, Xin Yi only asked her lover and Xiang Ling to use moist tissue paper to stretch the shape of the footprints, but she didn't speak, and she didn't see her take out any visible medicine to compare, until in the end, when there were only three people left, Xin Yi suddenly smiled, and walked to a young man who was not good-looking.

"That's him."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"He didn't even walk through the grass and trees ...... ashes"

Zeng Qinda also frowned: "Why did the little lady conclude that it was him?" ”

Xin Yi said: "Body language can't deceive people. He had already delayed the time to step on the ashes of the plants and trees several times, and every time the adults let the six people get on, he would shrink back, even if there were only three of them left, and there was no way to avoid it, he still hesitated, his body stiffened, and his eyes dodged, as if what was in front of him was not the ashes of the plants and trees, but the sea of swords and fire. ”

"No, it's not me. I didn't do anything. ”

The man cried out loudly, his voice trembling, and he was terrified.

Xin Yi laughed, "There is no ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I, I...... I'm too cowardly. ”

"Okay." Xin Yi smiled lazily, suddenly changed his face, dragged the man's neckline, and pushed him towards the ground paved with grass and ash.

The man kicked a few feet and stepped on the ashes of the grass and trees, and immediately his soul was frightened, and he screamed, and jumped up with his feet off the ground, and rushed out as fast as if something was burning his feet.

Then, he was restrained by two officials.

Xin Yi smiled at the messy footprints.

In fact, it is not so easy to judge based on such footprints alone, without professional instruments and professionals. Of course, the manifestation pill was also made up by her, and she used nothing more than the fact that she was "being a thief with a weak heart" to expose the thief himself.

This person's name is Zhang Fugui, and the people in the village call her Zhang Liu, and Zhang Xun is a brother in her own family.

There was no need to take it to Kaifeng Mansion at all, and even Zeng Qinda didn't have time to interrogate him, Zhang Liu confessed bitterly.

He said that last night, an immortal told him that the one that Zhang Xiaoniang dragged back was a cash cow, and as long as he came to shake it, he would have good luck and become rich from now on.

Zhang Liu was skeptical, but thinking that the little lady Zhang who everyone shouted and beat in the past suddenly hit the luck recently, the lucky stars were shining brightly, and the wealth was rolling, so he really came.

As for who the immortals are?

Zhang Liu scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time and couldn't say why, only said that the man had a white robe, white hair, and a white beard, and he was in good spirits and had a fairy spirit.

Xin Yi looked at him stammering, and seemed to be smiling.

"Those who appear in the middle of the night are not necessarily immortals, but ghosts."

Zhang Liu's eyes widened: "Ghost? ”

Xin Yi threatened him, "Yes, ghosts, water ghosts. The cannibalistic water ghost of the Bianhe River—"

Zeng Qinda coughed unhappily: "Little lady, haven't you read the Anmin notice from Kaifeng Mansion?" The water ghosts of the Bianhe River have been ambushed. ”

"Really?" Xin Yi pretended to be surprised, "The water ghost has been ambushed, who is the one who tricked Zhang Liu into coming to my door to visit, isn't it the soul of the water ghost?" Ghost? ”

In the blue sky and white day, people were creepy by her.

Zeng Qinda lowered his voice, "Don't bewitch the crowd with false words. ”

Xin Yi smiled vaguely, "The adult said that it is not a water ghost, so it is not." ”

She said no, but her expression was meaningful.

There was a lot of talk in the crowd.

Xin Yi knew that the opponent was cunning and would never be caught, and what she wanted was not to catch someone today, so bluffing was nothing more than causing panic to the opponent and forcing him to make a move.

At the same time, let the people in the village know that she is not a water ghost.

After all, she still has to do business, and everyone in the village is a potential customer......

What else......

She looked at the empty official road, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Why didn't Fu Jiuqu come yet?

It shouldn't be.

If you don't come, you won't be able to sing the play.

……

Zhang Liu recruited everything, but he couldn't recruit Xin Yi's stolen things, he said that he didn't enter the house at all, he was just curious, looked at the root of the wall, and left.

Because I lived closely, I didn't attract the attention of others, and I didn't expect to leave footprints......

Zeng Qinda was also tried, and he was scared and frightened.

"Come on, escort Zhang Liu back to Kaifeng Mansion and torture him to see if he recruits ......"

Zhang Liu trembled with fright, "Official, I really didn't steal anything." I swear, I swear I really didn't steal. ”

"Lord Qingtian, my sixth child has always been timid, he doesn't dare to steal things......"

Zhang Liu's mother also came.

The family cried in Wuyang, Zeng Qinda was impatient, got up and waved his hand.

"Take it away, take it away."

"Adults Zeng are slow." Xin Yi suddenly walked out of the house with a smile, as if nothing happened, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you think it's weird? My treasure chest, cats, rouge buckles, hairpins are back all of a sudden. I don't think Zhang Liu is evil, so it's better to let him go. ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Zeng Qinda turned his head sharply to stare at her, his brow furrowed.

"Xiao Zhang, do you know what kind of crime the entertainment official should be guilty of?"

Xin Yi pretended to be nervous and said: "Lord Zeng, I don't know how the thing came back, but in any case, the thief is real, how can it be said to be entertainment?" If the people lose something, is there any other way out than to report to the official? ”

With that, she looked sideways at Gao Miao.

"Jingzhao Junjun, what do you say?"

Gao Miao was so angry that her blood burned her head, and she wanted to pull out a knife and kill her.

"That's right." She took a deep breath, said these two words stiffly, and looked at Xin Yi through gritted teeth, "Lord Zeng, big things turn into small things, small things turn into nothing, even if things are found, forget it." ”

Zeng Qinda was obviously angry, and arched his hand towards Gao Miao.

"The county gentleman doesn't know, the lower official came today to be assigned by Lord Zhang, no matter what, he has to go back to the house to explain to Lord Zhang. This little lady is full of lies, and she will play you and me around, and the lower officials must take her back to Kaifeng Mansion and ask her for the crime of falsely accusing the good people and teasing the government......"

"Someone, escort Zhang Liu and Xiao Zhang's back to Kaifeng Mansion together......"

"Master Zeng—" Gao Miao pursed her lips and wanted to say something.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves are clanging, from far and near.

"The king of Guangling County has arrived!"
