Chapter 47: Arrest the Thief

Gu Sixteen did things very quickly, and Tang Min and Zhou Dazhuang were also greedy, as soon as they heard that a jade screen could ask for a hundred taels of silver, the two immediately agreed.

It also happened that there was a jade screen in Ming's warehouse.

I don't know what kind of jade it is, but it doesn't look cheap.

That night, the two changed into black clothes and sneaked to the courtyard where the Ming family's treasury was located.

Tang Jiao kept people watching, and after getting the news, she ordered a small servant to go directly to the yamen.

At this time, the yamen was already closed, but it was easy to do things with money, so the little guy stuffed the money for the official, and the two officials followed the little guy.

When I arrived at the Tang Mansion, I realized that it was the little girl from the Tang Mansion who came to report the case.

The two officials couldn't help but get serious.

The two servants led the official into the Tang Mansion, and then went to the courtyard where the treasury was located.

At this time, Tang Jiao was already waiting here.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and torches had been lit everywhere.

"Brother Guancha, there was a thief in the warehouse a few days ago, I let people guard it early, but I didn't think that the thief came over again today, injured the two little guys guarding the door here, and stole a jade screen in the warehouse."

"If it's an ordinary thing, I will trouble the two eldest brothers at night, but that screen is my mother's dowry, and that is what the county lord of Pingyang gave to my grandmother back then, and now that the thing is lost, we can't afford to be charged with it."

Tang Jiao looked anxious.

She said with a hard face.

But she didn't lie about where that jade screen came from.

Among the so many dowries of the Ming family, the jade screen was the most valuable, which was rewarded by the county lord of Pingyang in the south of the Yangtze River.

And the county lord of Pingyang is the only daughter of the emperor's late brother, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, and the things she rewards are naturally taken care of.

Tang Jiao said where Yuping came from, and the two officials were also stunned.

"Miss Tang, don't worry, we will definitely get the things back for you."

"But the people in the house saw where the thief had gone?"

Tang Jiao wiped her tears, and the two little guys who were "injured" by the thieves stood up and replied tremblingly.

"When the little one was unconscious, I vaguely heard the two thieves saying that they were going outside the city, and they were going to the hollow of the old locust tree to trade with someone."

The little guy fell, and the two officials looked at each other the same.

There are many old locust trees outside the city, but the one with a tree hole is probably the hundred-year-old locust tree in the south of the city.

"Okay, we know, let's go after those two thieves, but it's getting late, and we don't have enough manpower here, so I don't know if we can borrow two people from Miss Tang."

Tang Jiao nodded, "This is as it should be, Gu Youwei, you take a few people with the two big brothers." ”

Gu Youwei stood up and answered yes.

Today is not his dead face left at the Tang family, Tang Jiao from the weaving workshop in the evening took the initiative to bring him back, saying that there was something to help him at night.

He was still wondering, but now he understood.

Tang Jiao is using him as a coolie.

Gu Youwei took the two little guys and chased them out with the two officials.

There was a lot of movement here, not to mention Tang Jiude in the front yard, even the second room heard the movement.

Zhou got up in a daze and found that Tang Shi'an was not there next to the bed.

She lit a candle and shouted twice, and Tang Shi'an hurriedly ran in from outside with his trouser belt, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Shi twisted his eyebrows and looked at Tang Shi'an's appearance, he must have fooled around with some maid in the yard.

She was furious, "You can't live without a fucking woman, can you?" You didn't even hear such a big movement outside? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, I'm just going out to pee," Tang Shi's eyes rolled wildly, "What's going on outside?" ”

Zhou didn't bother to bother with him, "How do I know." ”

With that, she opened the door and went out.

She and Tang Shi'an lived in the main house, while Zhou Juan lived in the ear room next to her, and she went out to see that the light in Zhou Juan's room was still on.

She called a small servant to inquire about what was going on outside, then walked to Zhou Juan's room and pushed the door directly in.

"Juan'er, why haven't you slept yet? Or was you woken up? ”

In the room, the candles were lit, Zhou Juan sat in front of the bed, her hair was messy, her eyes were dull, and when she saw Zhou coming in, tears fell suddenly, but when she saw Tang Shi'an staring at Tang Shi'an with a warning face behind Zhou, she hurriedly closed her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Zhou stepped forward to look at Zhou Juan.

Not only the hair, but also the neckline of the clothes was messy, and there were suspicious red marks on the chest, Zhou just wanted to check it, Zhou Juan quickly pulled up the collar.

"It's okay, it's just a nightmare, why did my aunt get up."

Speaking of this, Zhou's face was unhappy, "I don't know what is going on outside, I feel uneasy for a while." ”

"What about Min'er and Da Zhuang? Why did these two people sleep so dead? ”

Zhou didn't notice that Zhou Juan was wrong and Tang Shi'an's heart was weak, so he said a few words to Zhou Juan and went out.

Tang Shi'an stood at Zhou Juan's door, pointed at the other party, lowered his voice and said, "Be honest with me, if you let others know, see if I don't kill you!" ”

Zhou Juanse shrunk her shoulders.

The door was pried open, she thought that the person who came in was Tang Min, and responded enthusiastically, but she slowly realized that something was wrong, and just wanted to resist, the other party choked her neck.

That force really wanted to strangle her.

She didn't dare to resist, she didn't dare to make any noise, she could only let this person do whatever she wanted.

This was whispering dirty words in her ear, and she realized who this person was.

It wasn't until my aunt's voice came from there that she hurried out and warned her by the way.

Thinking that this body no longer belonged to Tang Min, Zhou Juan burst into tears of grievance.

Now I can't wait to go to Tang Min's house right away and tell him about these grievances.

But Tang Min, who she was thinking about, went to the city with Zhou Dazhuang at this time and found the old locust tree that she had traded with Gu Sixteen before.

The two of them traveled slowly, and they also carried a jade screen, went to the big locust tree with their front feet, sat down and waited for Gu Sixteen, who had not yet appeared, and chased after them with a burst of footsteps.

The two of them chuckled in their hearts, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but a figure had already run over like a fly, grabbed their collars and pressed them to the ground.

The two of them squeaked in fright, and Gu Youwei had more strength in his hands.

"Little thief, look where you're going!"

"Official, they have been caught by me, please escort them to the yamen."

The two officials stepped forward, brought the lit torch closer, and saw the jade screen described by Tang Jiao.

At this moment, the two little guys who came over pointed to the tree hole next to them and said, "Official, there are still things in here." ”

The official cha went over with a torch and saw several other things that Tang Jiao had lost inside.

The stolen goods were captured, and the two thieves couldn't escape.

The two thieves were still struggling and quibbling, saying that they were the young masters of the Tang family, Gu Youwei directly knocked the two unconscious, and then handed them over to the official.

The official took the two away, and Gu Youwei also went back with the two little guys to recover their lives.
