When he first walked into the backyard, Master Geng was given experience by this carriage, and shouted: "This car doesn't even have Old Man Tang's house." ”

The following Ya was puzzled: "Isn't it just a carriage, high, big, how much more expensive can it be than an ordinary carriage?" ”

"You know what." Master Geng didn't bother to explain, and asked the point directly, "What else is there in the car besides this jade pendant?" ”

"It was the bed, the table and the chairs, as well as the bow and arrow, and the sword, and the subordinates knew the danger of these items, so they seized the whole carriage.

Master Geng: "Big knife, what big knife?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the little official below took out the big knife from the car and handed it over: "My lord, this is it." ”

Lord Geng took it, this thing was so heavy that he almost couldn't hold it, the big knife was made of dark iron, extremely hard, Lord Geng had a hint of ominous premonition in his heart, and quickly looked through it twice, and sure enough, he found a small inscription at the end of the handle.

"White." Lord Geng's head buzzed, "This is, this is the Bai Jiajun's big knife!?" ”

No wonder, no wonder he felt that the name Lu Tianhui was familiar.

"This official remembered that Lu Tianhui was the military attache who killed the King of Xiliang and made great achievements for the new emperor, that is a murderous, bloodthirsty and flesh-loving person, how could he appear here."

Lord Geng was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he hurriedly asked someone to put the knife back in its place: "Hurry up, send the carriage back, send it back!" ”

It took a lot of effort for the officials to pull back such a big carriage, and now they have to pull it back, which is time-consuming and laborious, for what.

"Lord Geng, why do you want to send it back, this is the carriage where the jade pendant was found, that is, the stolen land, if this is sent back, Master Tang asked, how can you pay the errand?"

"Why, for the sake of Master Tang, don't you even listen to the words of this official!" Geng Da's cheeks shook and his sleeves flicked up, "That woman is right, it's just a piece of jade pendant, with their wealth and wealth, they don't care about it at all, let alone steal, this time we are pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth, while they are not angry, hurry up and make up for it, hurry up!" ”

The good rest time was disturbed by this group of people, Lu Tianhui was very unhappy, sat on the edge of the bed and complained: "We will leave the town early tomorrow morning, let's identify ourselves, if we don't let go, we will kill them." ”

Su Qingyan lay on his side on the bed and shook his head: "Your method is too rude to be feasible. ”

Lu Tianhui was puzzled: "Qingyan, you agreed during the day, why don't you want to now?" ”

"It's different now, the lost jade pendant was found in our carriage, and it is normal for the official to investigate, and it is normal to suspect it, just now I made some rhetoric to coax Lord Geng to let down his guard and prejudice, but as long as the real thief is not found, we are still suspicious, and leaving rashly will only leave a bad reputation."

Lu Tianhui said slowly: "But the jade pendant has been found, how can we find the thief?" ”

Su Qingyan licked her lips, and a hint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes: "Perhaps, I have no opinion on this thief, anyway, now the city gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or exit, if the city gate is opened tomorrow, there will be a rush up." I only want the thief now, and I want to get out of the city as soon as possible, as long as he wants to get out of the city, he will have a way to catch him. ”

Frowning aggrievedly, Lu Tianhui scalded on the bed and leaned on her side: "Then are we going to spend it like this, can we still go on the road tomorrow?" ”

"Don't worry, you can." Su Qingyan comforted, "That Lord Geng will come over tomorrow, and if you can't catch the thief, you can only catch someone as a scapegoat." ”

On the second day, Lord Geng arrived as scheduled, but there were some differences with Su Qingyan's imagination, and he was still indignant yesterday, but today he was like a different person, and he stood at the door respectfully early in the morning.

Looking at the greasy face at the door, Lu Tianhui twitched the corners of his mouth and said dishappily: "What are you doing?" ”

Lord Geng bent on his waist and asked cautiously: "Yesterday you said that you came from the capital, and you reported your name, I don't know if you can let the lower officials see your waist card." ”

Lu Tianhui understood what he meant, and wanted to keep a low profile all the way to Chuanling Town.

As a result, I hit a wall everywhere, and from time to time I have to use my identity to solve the siege, which is really ironic.

took out a waist card from his arms, this is Lu Tianhui's waist card for mobilizing the guards in the school field, and a clear-eyed person can see what his identity is.

"Sure enough, it's General Zhang, it's the subordinate who has no eyes, please forgive the general."

Lu Tianhui was not in the mood to listen to his apology, and asked unhappily or angrily: "Is the city gate open?" ”

"Not yet, ah, but, as long as the general wants to get out of town, the subordinate will immediately call someone to open the door!"

"Don't open it yet." Su Qingyan's voice came from inside the house.

One was not careful, Lu Tianhui had already indicated his identity, and Su Qingyan didn't want to use his official position to pressure the other party, so he said kindly: "After all, this jade pendant was found in our carriage, and if this thief is not caught, this matter cannot be resolved." ”

Lord Geng blinked and arched his hand: "But according to the princess's orders." ”

Su Qingyan said, "Master Geng, is the jade pendant still with you?" ”

"It's still there, Master Tang said that not only to find the jade pendant but also to catch the thief, so the lower official hasn't returned it yet."

"Well, although the jade pendant has been found, please declare that the jade pendant has not been found, and open the city gate, and check everyone who wants to leave the city one by one."

Regarding her proposal, Lord Geng was puzzled: "This, the jade pendant has been found, but it is just to check the people who left the city, what clues are there?" ”

Throughout the night, Su Qingyan was thinking about the scene on the street at that time.

After she heard a sound from the roof of the car, she glanced out the window, and a tall man passed by, with his head down, unable to see his face clearly, but Su Qingyan could conclude that the clothes on his body were not ordinary civilians, but seemed to be a servant of a large family.

"Lord Geng is handling affairs in the town, vigorous and resolute, if the jade pendant is really lost on the street and is picked up by the civilians, it will definitely be returned, I guess, maybe it is a slave in the Tang Mansion, who is guarding and stealing by himself, and he can't leave yesterday because the city gate is closed, so he threw the jade pendant on the passing carriage to avoid search."

Finally, he added: "Lord Geng searched the entire town all night, and he shouldn't have checked the Tang Mansion." ”

"Master Tang and Master Tang are bitter masters, so naturally they will not be missed, but when the jade pendant is lost, it is Tang Yuan Gongzi himself who said that he was lost on the street, so he ......" Su Qingyan asked: "Does the Tang Mansion have any domestic servants who have recently released the deed of life and are ready to leave the mansion?" ”

Master Geng thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, Master Tang talked about family affairs with me a few days ago, there is a domestic servant surnamed Li, who is very old, and the house is open and released the deed to return to his hometown to get married. ”

Su Qingyan hooked the corners of his mouth, hoping that his guess was right.

"Later, you send a group of people to follow our car, after the city gate is opened, we will drive the carriage out of the city, let the guards check it at will and let it go, the thief must be observing in the dark, seeing that our carriage has not found the jade pendant, he must be anxious, and when he leaves the city, he will find him."

Lord Geng tilted his head: "The princess suspects that it was that Lao Li who stole the jade pendant." ”

Su Qingyan didn't dare to be proud: "I'm just guessing, with a little memory at the time, after all, the most advantageous stolen goods are already in the hands of adults, and if you want to catch the other party, you can only create opportunities to let people show their feet." ”

The villagers, who had been in the town for a day and a night, had long since become impatient.
