Neither thief admitted that he had changed the jade. So, Xia Wu's father and daughter sent the two to the yamen not far away, and asked the officials to punish the thieves.

No matter how the officials threatened and tortured the two, these two people just didn't recruit. kept saying that he was indeed a thief, but people were doing it, and the sky was watching, and he didn't use fake jade to wrap real jade. The two kept expressing their hearts to the sky.

Just when the three parties were at a stalemate and couldn't tell the difference, Liu Suishui appeared in front of them. He said: "It's a mistake, Xiao Er in the jade shop got the wrong box." The face of the two thieves was brewing with bitterness, and I don't know whether it was gratitude in pain or a painful expression in gratitude.

"I see, or this little brother is charitable, how did he find here?"

Liu Suishui: "On the way, I couldn't help but look at the jade plate I bought, and I was startled when I looked closely, only to know that the shopkeeper was busy with the wrong box." Honesty is the foundation of being a man, how can you be confused? So I looked for you everywhere and wanted to exchange the jade back. I heard the people's discussion and came to the Yamen. ”

It turned out that Xia Wu mistakenly took a five-penny jade from the shopkeeper, and later the jade was stolen by thieves. After Xia Wu caught the thief, he thought that the thief had stolen the jade of three taels of silver for five cents. After Liu Suishui appeared, he learned that Liu Suishui had mistakenly taken three taels of silver jade from the shop.

Liu Suishui saw that the two thieves were pitiful, and had a kind thought: these two people were probably forced by poverty, and they had to be forgiving and forgiving, and the stolen things were only worth five cents, how could they bear to hear the painful voice of the punished flesh. So, pleading for the two thieves, Xia Wu saw this, and also said that he could forgive, and only asked the two to be on the right path in the future. The trivial matter was reduced to less trouble, and the people in the yamen couldn't ask for it, saying that they could be released.

At this time, the snowflakes fluttered and fell with the north wind, at first loosely, and then tighter. Xia Wu's father and daughter were in a hurry, so they said goodbye to Liu Suishui and left in a hurry, "The mountains are high and the water is long, and there will be a period later." ”

Liu Suishui was not in a hurry to go home, but was very curious about the two thieves, so he talked with the two in the hall at the entrance of the yamen, and listened to the two tell stories of pain and happiness.

As he was talking, two officials suddenly rushed over and tied Liu Suishui upside down with a rope. Liu Suishui was shocked, for some reason, the two thieves were also shocked, for some reason.

The official said disdainfully while tying the rope: "I said where did you run with the water, it turned out that you came to this Jing County to mix with the thieves, go back honestly!"

Liu Suishui struggled a few times, "Who are you?

Another official sneered and said, "Who do you say we are? Who knows about your except for us in Duming Prefecture? The two of us went to the Yamen of Ganquan Town, Jing County, to do some work, but I didn't expect to meet you, a notorious child, and arrest you by the way." ”

Liu Suishui realized that after he left, his uncle and aunt had already reported the case.

The next day, the sky was still overcast, but the snow had stopped. Liu Suishui considered that Mr. Song was a fugitive more than ten years ago, and he couldn't mention him to the officials, and it seemed that the obsidian couldn't be brought to Aunt Wu, so he felt sad. The two Duming Prefecture officials escorted Liu Suishui from Ganquan Town, Jing County, to Duming Prefecture.

When he arrived at his uncle and aunt's house, the official discussed with his uncle and aunt and temporarily put Liu Suishui in an iron cage with the Tongli dog. The bird was excited to return to its familiar home, and often played with the dog. The obsidian that Liu Suishui had bought for Mr. Song was taken away, and Ye Lucai hung the stone around his neck. Regarding the jade plaque, they heard that it was a stone and was not valuable, so they didn't take it, and it was still treasured by Liu Suishui.

The weather is getting colder, and the heart is as cold as ice. But the Tongli dog seems to know how to make his master happy every day, licking his master's palm with his tongue for a while, and rubbing around his master for a while. Sometimes put their paws on their owners' shoulders and warm each other at night when they sleep. Looking at the optimistic expression of the Tongli dog, Liu Suishui also felt the warmth in his heart. On the night of the third day home, something happened.

Physical exertion. I really want to be free, and I am full of anger and have nowhere to solve it. Liu Suishui likes to watch folk operas, and has watched a lot of hearty accusation plays, so an imaginary stage flashed in his heart.

He imagined a blue-faced judge sitting in the high hall, a hostile person sitting on the left, a white face representing the forces of evil on the left, and a spokesman for justice with himself and a black face on the right.

The duet sang passionate lyrics

......

While imagining the movements and postures of everyone on the "stage", Liu Suishui unconsciously sang the lyrics he made up softly, and he was moved by himself.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep, and the sky began to fall in obscurity like dreamlike snowflakes.

Sleeping until he was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night, Liu Suishui no longer had any sleep, and looked directly at the dark world. Suddenly, Tongli dog stood up, Liu Suishui felt as if there was a slight sound, and his father Ye Qingshan tiptoed out, walked into the courtyard, and stood there, looking at the iron cage where his son was held. Liu Suishui pressed the Tongli dog to the ground, pretended to be asleep, and remained motionless, Ye Qingshan looked at it for a while and walked to the door. Gently opened the door and walked out gently.

Liu Suishui saw that there was no light in the bedroom of his uncle and aunt, and there was no sound. In confusion, I don't know what my uncle is doing when he goes out with his aunt behind his back. Apparently his uncle was hiding something.

Liu Suishui ordered the Tongli dog not to bark tonight no matter what happened, the dog was well-trained and of course would obey. After about two pillars of incense, the door was opened, and a dark shadow silently walked in. The dark shadow walked into the storage room first, as if looking for something, and after a while walked to the bedroom of his aunt and uncle. Although there was no light, Liu Suishui couldn't help but feel a little creepy when he saw that the black shadow didn't look like his uncle.

Suddenly, the lamp in the aunt's bedroom was lit, followed by the aunt's shrill cry. The shadow man who only listened whispered, "Don't shout!", and then the sound of the two fighting in the room was heard. The aunt still shouted "help" a few times. The shadow man was still saying: "Don't shout, you dead mother-in-law, your husband stole my horse, I will come to your house......" Liu Suishui felt that the matter was serious, but it was a pity that he was locked in a cage and couldn't get out if he wanted to, so he shouted: "There are bad people!", and the Tongli dog also barked wildly.

As soon as the words fell, another black shadow rushed in through the door, and Liu Suishui looked at his uncle. I saw him break into the bedroom with something in his hand.

"It's you, bastard!" was the uncle's angry voice.

Then there was a scream of "ahh......h Kill me......"

Liu Suishui instantly felt like a cold water pour, and he shuddered unconsciously, dead!
