When the three of them came to a small room in the backyard, the man stopped moving forward, and pleaded to the ghost face with a difficult face: "My lord, the key to this warehouse is kept by the shopkeeper himself on weekdays, and the villain can't get in." ”

"It's easy to do. Liu Ningshi stepped forward, pulled out a dragon-shaped dagger and slashed out, and the slightly rusty copper lock on the door broke in response: "You can go in." ”

"Miss Liu, you really have a hand. The ghost face pointed at Liu Ningshi's thumb.

This man was frightened by the power of his palm, but now when he saw Liu Ningshi's blow, he was even more frightened, and honestly opened the warehouse to let the two enter.

"Why do you have so little stock in this storeroom?" Ghostface shook his head as he looked at the bundles of iron artifacts scattered around the four corners of the room.

"The small shop is small and the business is not good, so it is like this. When this man said this, there was hatred in his eyes: "It's all because this Pangu blacksmith shop has snatched away all the guests." ”

"Hey, it's really sad, if the business is not good, I don't look for my own reasons, but I look for other people's reasons, no wonder there are so many disputes in this world. Liu Ningshi couldn't help but think of Tong Bo: "If Brother Xiangyun is still here, I guess I will sigh again." ”

"Don't talk nonsense here? Ben is not interested in your business. The ghost face glanced around the warehouse: "How many semi-finished tax cards are made by your shop for the household, and where are they placed?"

"This villain knows. The man pointed to a rusty iron box against the wall, and then looked at Liu Ningshi: "A total of thirty pieces, all of which are placed in this box。。。。。。; ”

"Bang!" Liu Ningshi waved the dragon-shaped dagger in the same way, split the copper lock on the box, and lifted the lid to see: "There is nothing in this box?"

"No? The man quickly ran over, grabbed the edge of the box with both hands, and was stunned when he saw that it was empty.

"Don't be in a daze?" Ghost Face took out a half-finished tax card from his arms and threw it at the man: "Look, is this the tax card that your shop is missing?"

"How can the tax card made by our shop be in the hands of adults?" The man carefully looked at the half-finished tax card in his hand, and closed his mouth in surprise.

"This is not the place to speak, if you have anything to say, go to the Tingwei Mansion to say. Ghostface sneered.

"Second brother, you're too good at tossing. The burly man gasped, and sat down opposite another man who was still leisurely drinking tea with an angry face: "Even I have three people this time, and the gatekeeper doesn't care about what's in the box except for knowing how to extort money." ”

"Hmph! This guy doesn't have anything to say. The man who tasted the tea said with a smile: "Just now he saw that your team was huge, and he didn't forget to ask you for an extra ingot of silver." ”

"I don't care, this money has to be counted on the eldest brother's head. The burly man untied the gourd on his waist and took a sip: "Since the last time I drank that fine wine, it is really tasteless to drink this bad wine again." ”

"Alright, let's go back and get back to my eldest brother. The man who was drinking the tea dropped a few copper coins and went downstairs by himself.

"Second brother, you let me rest. The burly man grumbled.

"Rest, big brother will start a fire in a while, and you will look good. The tea-tasting man's ridicule came from afar.

"Newspaper. In the capture room of the Tingwei Mansion, a red-clothed Tingwei ran in panting and bowed to the ghost face sitting on the chief and said, "The twenty-six workers in the Tianfeng clothing shop have disappeared, and even the sand shopkeeper doesn't know where they went. ”

"Cut! It is worthy of being born in the Barbarian Army, which is really alarming. Ghost Face and Liu Ningshi, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, glanced at each other: "Quickly draw the appearance of twenty-six people, and the whole city is wanted." ”

"Yes, sir. The red-clothed guard quickly retreated again.

"Wait!" Liu Ningshi suddenly shouted: "Brother Ren, Phantom Yu has already brought Yu'er here, and after the appearance of these twenty-six people is drawn, let Yu'er see if there is anyone they know." ”

"This?" The red-clothed Tingwei looked at this ghostly face, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"What are you still doing, just do what Young Master Liu says!" the ghost face waved his hand at the red-clothed guard.

"Yes, my lord!" the red-clothed court guard was relieved when he received the order from the ghost face.

"Are you coming here?" Ghost Face hooked his finger at the man at the blacksmith shop in Danian, who had been standing by at a loss.

"Great, my lord, I don't know what to order?" Where did the man see this battle in the Tingwei Mansion, and he was so frightened that he stammered a little.

"Do you want to see if this box is yours?" Ghostface gestured to the iron box in the center of the trap.

"This, these half-finished tax cards are indeed the stuff of our shop. The man looked at a few tax cards and counted the number again: "But these things are personally taken care of by our shopkeeper." ”

It seems that this problem can only be clarified by Zhang Danian himself. Ghost Face said coldly.

"Your Tingwei Mansion is so bold that you not only sealed my shop, but also smashed the copper lock of my warehouse. A man who was disheveled, full of alcohol and mixed with some fat powder rushed in: "Ghost face, what do you mean? Don't you know who my godfather is?"

"What a disgusting face. The ghost face smiled and said to Liu Ningshi: "Miss Liu, please turn your face away." ”

"Brother Ren, what do you want to do?" Liu Ningshi looked at the ghost face in confusion.

"Don't ask so much, just do it. Liu Ningshi heard the ghostly words, nodded and turned her face away.

"You three, go and sober up this uncultured fellow. Ghost Face pulled out the iron ruler from his waist and put it heavily on the table in front of him.

"Hmm, what do you want to do? Do you know who my godfather is?" Zhang Danian was grabbed by two court guards from the left and right, and howled like a pig.

But as if they hadn't heard anything, the two court guards pressed Zhang Danian to the ground, and the other court guard picked up a basin of water and poured it on his head.

With a "bang", Zhang Danian spit bubbles out of his mouth like a dead fish out of water: "My godfather is 。。。。。。 ”

"Huh, it doesn't seem to be sober yet?" Ghost Face smiled, "Stop what, keep pouring it." ”

"Wow, wow, wow!" One basin, two pots, three pots, and several pots of water went down to pour Zhang Danian who shivered, begging for mercy: "The adult spares his life, but the villain knows that he is wrong." ”

"Looks sober?" Ghost Face waved his hand, and the three court guards threw Zhang Danian in place and returned to where they were standing, leaving only Zhang Danian lying on the ground, gasping for breath in embarrassment.

"Tell me, how did these half-finished tax plates from your blacksmith shop get into the hands of the fake tax collector?" Ghost Face pointed to the iron box with an iron ruler: "Don't say you don't know, this brother of your shop has already recruited, and you are the only one who has the key to the treasury and the box where the tax plates are stored." ”

"I, I. Zhang Danian struggled to get up from the ground, looked at the tax card in the box, and his eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the ghost face.

"What, can't you remember?" Ghost Face snorted, interrupting Zhang Danian's thoughts.

"My lord, I really don't know. Zhang Danian quibbled: "Maybe someone really stole these tax cards." ”

"Is it?" the ghost face smiled: "According to Qi Lu, those who lose important items in the imperial court will be issued to the army; ”

"Yes!" the two red-clothed guards pressed Zhang Danian to a damp place just now, and the other guard raised the plank to strike.

"Don't, don't fight, I said. Zhang Danian was already frightened by the ghost's face, and hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

"Let go of him and let him speak. The ghost-faced iron ruler pointed at Zhang Danian: "If there is a false word, it will not be spared." ”

"Your Excellency, you know that villains are good bets. Zhang Danian was so interrogated by the ghost face that tears flowed out, with a crying voice in his mouth: "A few days ago, the villain lost the essence of the silver in the providence gambling house, and even the blacksmith shop was pressed out; ”

"Then you lent it to him?" Liu Ningshi couldn't help but turn her head to stare at Zhang Danian.

The villain had no choice at the time. Zhang Danian spit out a mouthful of turbid water in his mouth and cried: "If you don't agree, the shop will really be gone, and my godfather won't want my head." ”

"Come on, first detain Zhang Danian and all these people in his shop for trial. The ghost face looked at the back of Zhang Danian and the others who were far away, and sighed: "It's really a moth, harming others and yourself." ”

"Newspaper. Another red-clothed court guard walked in and arched his hand, "The Phantom Feather girl from the Jingwei Mansion asks to see you." ”

"Please. The ghost face glanced at Liu Ningshi: "I don't know what Miss Liu asked them to identify?"

"Brother Ren, have the faces of those twenty-six people been drawn?" asked Liu Ningshi.

"Lord Yu, the portraits of the twenty-six people have been drawn, please take a look!" Just as Liu Ningshi asked, the red-clothed Tingwei handed a stack of portraits to Ghost Face.

"Sister Ning Shi, when I received your message, I rushed over with Yu'er non-stop. Phantom Yu pulled Yu'er and stood in front of the door of the fishing room.

"Sister Ning Shi, Yu'er misses you so much. Yu'er took off Phantom Yu's hand and rushed over to hug Liu Ningshi's slender waist.

"Yu'er, Sister Ning Shi misses you too. Liu Ningshi stroked Yu'er's hair: "Sister Ningshi will let you see a few portraits in a while." ”

"You go out first, and no one is allowed to come in without my command. The ghost face withdrew from the court guard in the capture room, and closed the door with his hand: "There are no outsiders now, Liu Ningniang tell me what you think." ”

"Yu'er, do you see if there is anyone you know in these portraits?" Liu Ningshi took the portraits from the ghost face and spread them on the table one by one.

"I haven't seen this one, I haven't seen this one. Yu'er followed the portrait and looked carefully from left to right, and shook her head: "These people Yu'er have never seen it." ”

"What about this one?" Liu Ningshi took out a separate portrait from her bosom and showed it to Yu'er.

"It's him, it's him who killed Little Potato and Wang Ma together with two other people. Yu'er looked at the vivid burly man on the portrait, and buried her head in Liu Ningshi's arms in fear.

"Don't be afraid, Yu'er, there's Sister Ning Shi here. Liu Ningshi calmed Yu'er's emotions and said to the ghost: "Brother Ren, do you remember the number of tax clothes and tax cards in the household office?"

"Naturally, I remember, thirty tax clothes and thirty tax cards. Ghostface said it without thinking.

"Yes, this is also what Ning Shi couldn't figure out before. Liu Ningshi smiled: "But now I have figured it out." ”
