Around midnight, the two groups of people returned to the county government one after another, and all the physical evidence in this case was successfully recovered. Chen Wenqi and Weng Junding rested for a while, and then came to the court to interrogate Huo Long.

The evidence is ironclad, and Huo Long can't deny it, and it didn't take much effort for Huo Long to truthfully explain how he killed Sun Er:

Late one night last autumn, Huo Long woke up in the middle of the night with dry lips because he drank too much, so he got up to find water to drink, and inadvertently looked out, and suddenly saw two dark shadows shaking in the courtyard. Huo Long quickly opened the door and shouted: "Who?" The two black shadows heard this, and hurriedly ran to the front hall one after the other. People say that drunk people are bold, but Huo Long didn't expect that there were two people on the other side at this time, so he chased after him. Chasing through the front hall, the two black shadows had already run out of the door, and when Huo Long was about to stop and turn around to close the door, he suddenly heard an "oops", and the black shadow behind him fell to the ground, and the black shadow in front of him continued to run away as if he hadn't heard it. Seeing this situation, Huo Long stepped forward and pressed the black shadow that was about to get up to the ground again, and the tentacles felt soft. Just as he was startled, the dark shadow below whispered, "Ouch, light, it hurts me." "It's a woman's voice.

Huo Long's courage was even stronger, and he grabbed the woman, dragged her into the hall, and turned around to tie the door. Huo Long's wife had already gotten up when she heard the movement, and at this time she had already walked to the hall, saw Huo Long catch the thief, and hurriedly took out the fire medium to light the lamp. The two of them looked at the faint light and were all taken aback. Huo Long's wife was surprised that a woman dared to sneak into someone else's house in the middle of the night to be a thief, it was really bold, and Huo Long was surprised that this female thief was so young and so beautiful, and the hand that grabbed the woman subconsciously tightened.

Huo Long asked his wife Wu to find a hemp rope, tied the female thief firmly to a wide Taishi chair, and then asked her to go back to her room to sleep under the pretext of worrying about his wife's cold, and interrogated the female thief alone. Wu's maiden family has a small family surname, and the people are not prosperous, so his status in the Huo Long family is not high, and he has always been obedient and obedient. At this time, Huo Long asked her to go back to the room, knowing what the hell he had in mind, he sighed secretly and walked out of the hall silently.

Facing the young and beautiful female thief, Huo Long couldn't help but feel his heart swaying. He swallowed his saliva secretly, walked up to the female thief, stroked her cheeks without any scruples, and exclaimed with a "tsk" in his mouth: "What a smooth little face, it's really blown." is so young and beautiful, at this time, he should be lying in a man's arms to receive the moisture of rain and dew, but why did he run out and be a thief?"

He slid his hand to the shoulder blade of the female thief again, and asked while stroking, "I caught you today, are you willing to be an official, or are you willing to be private?"

The female thief was not ashamed or annoyed, let him touch his body, and when she heard his words, she "giggled" and laughed: "What about being official? What about being private?"

"The official is at dawn, send you to the county office, the government will beat you first, and then according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the flail will be called for three months, and the ground will be filled with smoke and miasma; ”

The female thief smiled a little provocatively: "If it's private, aren't you afraid that your wife will castrate you after she finds out?"

Huo Long didn't expect that the female thief not only did not refuse, but said such "bold" words, knowing that there were some ways. Secretly happy in his heart, he said at the moment: "She dare, not afraid that I will divorce her? Besides, my wife is not a vinegar jar, and she persuaded me to take a concubine last year." ”

After a pause, seeing that the female thief did not move, he asked: "Have you figured it out?" Is it official or private, I don't have the patience to accompany you until dawn in a happy word. ”

The female thief frowned and said: "Since you have been caught, it is not up to you to have the final say in the official affairs?" Besides, you tied people so tightly, how can you make people ......?"

Huo Long knew that the female thief had secretly agreed, and he was lustful for a while, so he hurriedly untied the ropes on her body, and pushed the female thief down on the Taishi chair before he could find the bed......

After a while, the clouds cleared and the rain dispersed, and the female thief got up and tidied up her messy dress, pulled her legs and walked out.

"Wait. Huo Long gasped, and when he saw that the female thief was leaving, he hurriedly pulled her back.

The female thief looked at Huo Long and said in a coquettish voice: "Why? I took advantage of my aunt and grandmother, and I didn't let my aunt go?" Okay, I will go to the government tomorrow and accuse you of adultery with a good woman, and see whose ass is being beaten?"

Huo Long hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no." If you meet a bad guy on the way, isn't it my fault? Why don't you just rest at my house for a while, as long as the morning dawns, I won't stop you from leaving. ”

The female thief smiled and said, "Who could be worse than you?"

Huo Long was softened by her laughter, found a stool to sit down, and then dragged the female thief over, let her sit on his lap, gently pinched her slightly upturned little Qiong's nose with his hand, and laughed: "Am I bad? Why aren't you afraid?"

Originally, the two were opposed, but now they are like a couple.

"Let me ask you, why did the third watch come to my house in the middle of the night to steal something?" Huo Long asked, holding her soft little hand.

The female thief sighed and said, "Now I don't have to hide it. When your father was dying, he was afraid that you would bully his younger brother Huo Hu, so he secretly buried some gold, silver and jewelry, and drew a picture of the buried place and handed it to Huo Hu. We're here to find the place where the jewels are buried and take them out. ”

Huo Long was shocked, and secretly scolded the dead ghost for still having a back hand, but asked quietly on the surface: "The person who ran away just now is Huo Hu? Who are you from Huo Hu?"

The female thief shook her head: "It's not him." I am Huo Hu's wife, named Qiu Hua. ”

Huo Long was startled again, and hurriedly pushed away the female thief (now I know that her name is Qiu Hua), remembering the scene just now, he couldn't help but be ashamed. Fortunately, the lights were dim, and she didn't see his flushed face. He hurriedly changed the subject: "Who is the person who ran away?"

Qiu Hua said hatefully: "His name is Qian Shiye." This conscienceless bastard ran away with his tail between his legs regardless of his aunt's life or death. ”

Huo Long cared about the buried jewels, and didn't care about sorting out why it was not Huo Hu but Qian Shiye who was walking with her, and asked, "Have you found the place where the buried jewels are buried?"

"No, we've been here many times and still haven't found that place. I was going to look for it one last time tonight, but if I couldn't find it again, I would destroy the drawings and fly away. ”

Hearing that they had been here many times, Huo Long couldn't help but be frightened again, and heard that they were going to destroy the drawings, so he hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, it's a pity to destroy it." Otherwise, I will give you a hundred taels of silver, and you will give me the picture. ”

Qiu Hua glanced at Huo Long and said with a smile: "We did have this idea, and exchanged that picture for some silver taels with you, but we were afraid that you would show your stuffing if you didn't allow it, so we dispelled this idea." How do you know you're so talkative?"

"It's not too late to know now, take out that picture quickly, and I'll go and fetch the silver taels for you." ”

"The picture is in the hands of Qian Shiye's bastard. However, I have changed my mind now and do not want to trade silver taels with you. ”

Huo Long thought that she thought that her offer was too low, so she said ruthlessly: "Then fifty taels of gold, this is always okay, right? Besides, I don't know if I can find the jewelry buried in the ground, but I don't know if it's worth so many gold miles." ”

Qiu Hua shook his head and said: "I stole that picture from Huo Hu, I can't go back to him; Now I'm cornered, you...... You have looked my whole body up and down, don't you leave me alone?" After speaking, he looked at Huo Long with a sad and sad look.

Qiu Hua's words, coupled with her poignant appearance, made Huo Long's heart pound, and he said hesitantly: "I...... I'm a family man, how can I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Hua hurriedly said, "Didn't you just say it? Your wife also persuaded you to take a concubine." ”

"Would you like to be a concubine?" Huo Long asked in surprise.

Qiu Hua nodded: "Instead of being a concubine with cold and starvation, it is better to be a concubine with fine clothes and food." ”

"This ...... But after all, you are my brother-in-law, isn't it ** to do this?" Huo Long still hesitated.

Qiu Hua sneered and said: "Didn't you already *** just now? Now what are you talking about seriously? You men, at every turn, accuse women of 'wanting to be ** and want to build a memorial arch', why aren't you like this? Besides, since I stole the picture of Huo Hu, I am no longer his wife. ”

Huo Long coveted the gold, silver and jewelry buried by his father, and coveted Qiu Hua's young beauty, and after a little thought, he nodded and agreed to Qiu Hua. Seeing this, Qiu Hua naturally threw himself into his arms and was charming, and he teased Huo Long so much that his ears were warm, where could he take care of other things?

At the fifth watch, Huo Long brought Qiu Hua to the Wu family and told her the reason why he wanted to accept Qiu Hua as a concubine. How dare Wu shake his head? He simply generously tidied up the room for Qiu Hua, made the bed and folded the quilt, although tears fell in his heart, in exchange for Huo Long and Qiu Hua's happy smiles, he managed to keep the status of the main room and the thoughtfulness of the family.

However, Qiu Hua saw that the goal was achieved, and he made up his mind, so he followed the plan discussed by Huo Long and her at night, and returned to Guo Village before dawn.

Qian Shiye was busy packing his luggage and preparing to escape alone. Seeing Qiu Hua come back safely, he awkwardly asked her how she escaped.

Qiu Hua seemed to ignore it, and said to him casually, after being caught by Huo Long, he simply told him about the buried jewelry, and offered to exchange the picture with him for some silver taels, otherwise the picture would be destroyed, and now Huo Long has promised to let us go to his house tonight to exchange.

When Qian Shiye heard this, he was overjoyed, and he thought that Huo Long was going to report to the official to take people, so he was ready to go first. Who knows that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and you can get a windfall before leaving. After being excited, he proposed with Qiu Hua to go to the county seat to buy some fish, meat, wine and food, and entertain Huo Long in the evening to show his sincerity.

That night, Qian Shiye and Qiu Hua came to Huo Long's house with gifts as promised. Huo Long got a lot of gold, silver and jewelry and a young and beautiful concubine out of thin air, he was proud, and when he saw Qian Shiye bring fish, meat, wine and food, he was even more overjoyed, and he was busy asking his wife to stir-fry vegetables and warm wine, and drink with Qian Shiye. During the banquet, Qian Shiye proposed to exchange drawings for gold and silver, and Huo Long said that he wanted to see the authenticity of the drawing. Qian Shiye took out the drawings and handed them to Huo Long, Huo Long recognized that the words on it were indeed his father's handwriting, and it should be something left by his father. But the pattern drawn on it seemed familiar, but for a while I couldn't determine where it was, and I wondered what if I couldn't find this place or found a place where there was no gold, silver, and jewelry? After thinking about it again, he made up his mind to take a gamble, and said to Qian Shiye:

"This picture is indeed painted by my father, but most of the places depicted in the picture are false, I think his old man used this to coax Huo Hu. I remember that it is not easy for you to come far away once, so I will give you twenty taels of silver as compensation. ”

As soon as Qian Shiye heard that he was deceived, Huo Long was clearly slandering himself, so he rushed forward to grab the picture, and said: "Twenty taels of silver want to change this picture? ”

Huo Long had already prevented him from grabbing the drawings, how could he let him succeed? With a flickering figure, he had already withdrawn three feet away.

Qian Shiye didn't chase after him, he sat down again and picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, put the wine glass down, and said: "You bully me as a foreigner, right? Okay, today's uncle, I will say a word, within three days, if you don't send a hundred taels of gold to me, I will burn your kennel." After speaking, he picked up Qiu Hua and was about to go out.

Qiu Hua broke free, ran to Huo Long's side, and said, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, my aunt and grandmother will not accompany you to drink the northwest wind." ”

Qian Shiye saw her standing side by side with Huo Long, seemed to understand something, pointed at them and asked, "You...... ...... you guys?"

Huo Long hugged Qiu Hua's slender waist and smiled "haha": "Can't you see it? We are already husband and wife." ”

Qian Shiye had been secretly proud of abducting someone else's wife for a long time, but now he was abducted by someone else, and he suddenly became angry and angry, regardless of the enemy and his own widows, he shouted loudly and threw himself at Huo Long and Qiu Hua.

"Dare to be a dog thief, dare to spread wild in someone else's house? Isn't it a long life?" Huo Long saw that Qian Shiye was menacing, so he grabbed a chair behind him and slashed towards Qian Shiye who rushed over, only to hear the sound of "snap", half of Qian Shiye's face suddenly turned into a purple eggplant, and the person also fell to the ground and passed out.

Huo Long panicked when he saw it, and hurriedly threw a chair and stepped forward to check. Qiu Hua smiled "hehe" and said: "Look at what, this beam has been settled, and it will be a disaster to keep it after all, it is better to let him go to Lord Yama to enjoy the blessings, so as not to follow the ghost behind him in the future." ”

"This ...... Human lives are at stake, but it's not fun. Huo Long was horrified.

Qiu Hua said contemptuously: "When the judgment continues, it will be chaotic." There is no one else in his family but me, and as long as I keep quiet, no one will think of him. Tomorrow, he will say that he will fall to his death after drinking too much wine, and everything will be fine when he is buried. ”

Huo Long is right to think about it, as long as Qiu Hua doesn't say it, no one will know that he has something to do with him, so he won't have to worry about it in the future. As for Qiu Hua, in the future, when he has the opportunity to pretend to invite someone to propose marriage, he will marry to the family again. Thinking of this, he lifted the chair and was about to smash it on Qian Shiye's head a few more times, but was pulled by Qiu Hua.

Huo Long was stunned, what's the matter, did he regret it?

Qiu Hua said: "It is said that women have long hair and short knowledge, and you are inferior to a woman as a big man." It is impossible to have injuries in multiple parts if he falls to death, and if he smashes again, he will inevitably be seen, and he needs to think of a comprehensive way to kill him, so that others can't see it. ”

Huo Long thought for a while and said: "Yes, when I was a child, I listened to my father tell the story of Bao Gong's case, and if he used a long nail to nail down from the heavenly spirit cover to kill people, he used this method." You stay here, I'll go find the spikes. ”

At this time, the Wu family heard the movement and ran in, and when they heard that they were going to kill Qian Shiye, they hurriedly hugged Huo Long and persuaded him not to do this. Huo Long was so impatient to listen to her rambling that he pushed her out of the door with a palm, told him to go back to the room to take care of the child, and ran to find a nail himself.

After a while, Huo Long came back with a mace and a small chisel in his hand, and said viciously: "If you don't find a long nail, you will use this chisel to send him on the road." After speaking, he aimed the chisel at the top of Qian Shiye's head, and struck the hammer in his right hand violently, and the chisel had already sunk into the top of Qian Shiye's head a few points deep.

Qian Shiye, who was in a coma, was awakened by severe pain, and immediately screamed, his eyes seemed to be about to burst out, and his appearance distorted by pain was extremely terrifying. Qiu Huahe, who was on the side, had seen such a tragic situation, and fainted to the ground with a scream.

At the same time, the ferocious Huo Long didn't stop doing anything, his legs clamped Qian Shiye's head tightly, and the hammer in his right hand swung more than 20 times in a row, nailing all the small chisels into the depths of Qian Shiye's head. He took a breath, covered up all the traces one by one, and then came to Qiu Hua's side, helped her up and woke her up, ready to discuss the aftermath with her.

Qiu Hua woke up faintly, Huo Long was about to talk to her, but Qiu Hua stood up violently, his hands danced wildly, and he kept shouting: "Don't hammer, don't hammer ......"

Huo Long hurriedly hugged her, covered her mouth and whispered, "Qiu Hua, don't be afraid, it's me." ”

But no matter how Huo Long called and comforted him, Qiu Hua still ignored it, still struggling and shouting, as if to the point of forgetting himself.

When Wu heard the movement, he hurriedly ran over, and when he saw this situation, he knew that it had become a catastrophe, but he was afraid in his heart and said: "Presumably she was frightened, and she lost her heart and went crazy." ”

"Ah, how is this good?" Huo Long panicked in his heart, and he had no idea.

Wu Shi was calmer at this time, and said: "They came to my house secretly, and no one else knew about it, so it is better to take advantage of this dark midnight and send them to their rented house, who can suspect us?"

Huo Long thought about it, and now it can only be like this. So he found a rag to plug Qiu Hua's mouth, told Wu to pull her, carry Qian Shiye's body on his back, and send them back to Guocun's house (Huo Long learned about their rented place from Qiu Hua's mouth), and spilled all the pot of wine he brought in the room, pretending to be Qian Shiye's drunkenness.

Returning home from Guo Village, Huo Long thought left and right to see if there were any flaws left. It suddenly occurred to me that if the people of Guo Village reported to the official, the government would definitely send a servant to conduct an autopsy, and if the small chisel was taken out, the words engraved on it would definitely expose themselves. I was shocked when I thought of this, but the sky was already bright, and I couldn't go to Guo Village anymore. So he asked the Wu family to pack up and wait at home, while he sneaked to the vicinity of Guo Village to watch the movement, and if he saw someone from the government, he would die with the Wu family.

When Huo Long saw the villagers of Guo Village send Qian Shiye to a mass grave for burial, he was relieved. In the dead of night, he came to the mass grave with Wu, dug up the grave, opened the lid of the coffin, and took out the chisel from Qian Shiye's skull. Who knew that the chisel was embedded in the skull, and no matter how Huo Long fiddled, the chisel did not move at all. There was no choice but to carry Qian Shiye's body to his ancestral grave for burial. When I got home, I found that a mace was missing from the tools I had brought with me, and a piece of my clothes were torn. I turned back and searched, but I searched to no avail. Since then, I have been worried day and night, and it was not until a few months later that everything was calm, and I slowly put my mind at ease......

With that, Huo Long lowered his head and buried his face deep in his hands.

Since Huo Long had already confessed, Weng Junding immediately sentenced in court: Huo Long had murdered people for money and by cruel means, and was sentenced to death according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and he would be beheaded after the report was made to the Yamen of the Imperial Palace; Qiu Hua, the mastermind of the co-murder case, had lost his mind because he was frightened, so he suspended the investigation of the punishment and was sent to the prison; Guo Xilai and Qiu Hua had secretly fornicated with him, and he was immoral, and he was supposed to be punished, but he was detained for several days and acquitted.

Huo Long knew that his days were numbered, so he came to Huo Hu, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Huo Hu, and said to him: "Huzi, my brother was sorry for you in the past. After my brother leaves, please take care of your sister-in-law and young nephew. Brother dug around according to this picture and didn't see what Daddy buried, so I'll leave it for you to refer to it slowly. "It can be said that people are dying, and their words are good.

After escorting Huo Long and releasing Xilai, Weng Junding said to Huo Hu: "Huo Hu, as soon as your brother dies, you and your nephew will divide the mansion left by your father equally, and the old case will be eliminated." ”

Huo Hu shook the drawings in his hand and said, "Yes, my lord." If I can find something buried here, I would like to leave the house to my sister-in-law and their mother and son, and the grass people live elsewhere. However......" Huo Hu wanted to speak and stopped.

"But what? But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"But my brother hasn't found this thing for a long time, and it's impossible for the grass people to find it, so the grass people implore the adults for guidance. ”

"It turns out that you want the county to help you find 'treasure'. Take it to the county and take a look. ”

Weng Junding took the drawings handed over by Huo Hu, and after looking at them for a long time, he was confused, so he handed them to Chen Wenqi casually.

Chen Wenqi took a look, the upper half of the paper is painted in a place, it looks a little familiar, and there are four sentences written below: The ancestral house is out of the dragon, the head and tail are empty, the ground is not white, and the green worm lives in the belly.

Chen Wenqi guessed that these words should allude to the location where those things were buried, but they were also unclear.

At this time, Yan'er came to the front hall and invited her uncle and Chen Gongzi to have dinner later. Weng Junding and Chen Wenqi realized that it was noon, so they hurriedly withdrew from the hall and asked Huo Hu to go to dinner first and talk about it in the afternoon.

When the two came to the backyard, Yun Feiyan had already brought the food to the table, and when he saw them coming back, he beckoned them to sit down, and asked: "I hesitated for a long time, I don't know if I should let Yan'er invite you, it didn't affect your trial of the case, right?"

Weng Junding looked at his wife lovingly and said, "No, no, the case is over, and we are guessing the riddle." ”

"Guess the riddle?" Yun Feiyan was surprised and said jokingly: "You guys are so leisurely." ”

"If it's a riddle, it's also a case. After saying that, he briefly explained the matter, and finally said, "But we don't know what we mean." ”

Yun Feiyan said: "I know a little bit. ”

"Huh, you know, tell me about it. Weng Junding was surprised, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and urged Yun Feiyan to speak quickly.

"When I was a child, my father used to take me to the store to play, and when he talked to customers about business, there were some things that he couldn't understand, and the children were curious, so they asked him what he said, and he told me that it was an 'incision'. ”

"Incision?"

"Yes, incision, that's a common term used among businessmen. For example, in the second sentence you just said, 'empty work', where 'empty work' is 'incision', which means 'two'. ”

"Two?"

"Actually, it's easy to understand. Isn't the hollow of the word 'work' the word 'two'? and the 'soap is not white' in this sentence 'into the ground', which is the same, which means ......"

"Wait," Weng Junding interrupted Yun Feiyan, "Let me guess, 'soap is not white', the word 'soap' does not have 'white', isn't it 'seven'?" ”

Yun Feiyan pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said, "The son can be taught." ”

Weng Junding smiled proudly, and immediately said: "From this point of view, these sentences mean that this dragon is two zhang long at the end and burrows into the ground for seven ...... Seven feet or seven feet, a small worm called the green worm hides in its belly?"

Chen Wenqi laughed: "The worm is hidden in the belly of the dragon? ”

"Otherwise, how can you explain it?" Weng Junding asked rhetorically.

Yun Feiyan said: "'Green worm', among businessmen, is actually a 'cut', which refers to money. ”

"You say that 'empty worker' is two, and 'soap is not white' is seven easy to understand, but why is this 'green worm' money?"

Yun Feiyan glanced at him and said, "'Green worm' is a small insect. Legend has it that when a frog gives birth to a child, the mother and the child will do everything they can to get back together. Legend has it that if the blood of the mother and child of the frog is smeared on the money respectively, the money of the mother's blood or the money of the blood of the worm will fly back after being used, so there is a saying that the frog pays back. In order to curry favor, businessmen use it as a 'cut' in money. ”

Chen Wenqi said: "It makes sense: since this is a graphic indicating the burial place of gold and silver jewelry, it must involve direction and distance...... The place of seven feet (seven inches or seven feet should not be possible) is where gold and silver are buried. ”

"Yes, that's what it means. Weng Junding echoed and said: "Together with the first sentence, it means that two feet away from the ancestral house or one foot and two feet, dig seven feet deep, and you can take out the treasure." ”

"To be exact, it should be the place where the ancestral house is two zhang or one zhang two to the east, dig seven feet down, and then you can take out the treasure. Chen Wenqi then added.

"To the east?" Weng Junding was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, "Yes, the blue dragon is the green dragon." Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, the Four Spirits of the Heavens, and the Green Dragon is the main east. ”

The two were convinced of this answer, and after the meal, they told Huo Hu the specific place and asked him to go and dig. Huo Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurried back to his ancestral house, according to the place pointed out by the county magistrate, he wanted to make a treasure together with his sister-in-law Wu. Unexpectedly, at dusk, Huo Hu hurried to the county office to see the county master. It turned out that according to the place they determined, they dug to a depth of more than seven feet, but still saw only the soil and no gold and silver, Huo Hu thought that the depth was not enough, and continued to dig down more than two feet, but there were hard stones inside, and he could no longer dig deep.

Weng Junding was puzzled, took the picture again, looked at it and said to himself: "It is clearly written on the east side of the ancestral house two zhang (or one zhang two) away, what's wrong? Uh, Huo Hu, how many ancestral houses do you have?"

"That's it. Huo Hu replied.

"Isn't this the only place? Isn't the house left by the ancestors called the ancestral house? What's wrong? The ancestral house, the house where the ancestors lived......

Chen Wenqi heard this, his heart moved, took the drawings in Weng Junding's hand and looked at them, and suddenly said, "I know." ”

"Where?" Weng Junding and Huo Hu asked in unison.

"His family's ancestral grave. I said, why is this place so familiar?"

"Ancestral grave?" Weng Junding didn't believe it.

"Didn't you just say: the ancestral house is where the ancestor lives, and don't his ancestors all 'live' in the ancestral tomb?"

"Ahem, it's up to your dad to figure it out. Weng Junding stuffed the drawings into Huo Hu's hand and said, "Go quickly, this time it should be nine out of ten." ”

Huo Hu was grateful for his words and left. The next day, he really took out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and went to the county office to thank him, but he didn't press the table.

Let's say that Weng Junding saw that the unsolved case had been resolved, so he said to Chen Wenqi: "Brother Chen, the two tricky cases have finally been concluded, let Sister Yan make two dishes to celebrate today." ”

Chen Wenqi nodded and did not speak, looking thoughtful.

Weng Junding knew his thoughts and comforted: "Huo Hu has been back for a few days, maybe Miss Yang is on her way over." ”

Chen Wenqi thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Whether she comes in time or not, I'm afraid I'm going to set off next." I made an appointment with General Lu Wanlu to lead my men and horses to Ningxia before the end of July to join us. Now that May is about to pass, time is running out, and if you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll make a mistake. ”

"That'...... What if Miss Yang arrives at Fushi?" Weng Junding was still worried.

"You may wish to tell her the route I have taken, and I will leave a secret mark of a phoenix with half a heart on its side so that she can find it. ”

Of course, Weng Junding knew the priorities, and secretly hoped that Miss Yang would be able to arrive in time for Fushi in the next few days.

That night, Chen Wenqi meditated and practiced according to his habit, and at the third watch, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching outside the window facing the street, and then someone hurriedly knocked on the window.

Chen Wenqi got out of bed, walked to the window and asked, "Who?"

"Chen Gongzi, it's me, Yu Ling. ”

Lingling, how could she, a weak woman, come to the county seat in the middle of the night and walk in a hurry?

Chen Wenqi opened the window without hesitation, only to see a man and a woman standing outside the window......
