Chen Yutian said that, and went straight to the old man's side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This old man is polite. He bowed his hand to the old man.

The old man returned the salute with a fist.

Seeing this, Chen Yutian had a slight flash of essence in his eyes.

The old man said: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, if you have anything to say, just ask." ”

Chen Yutian nodded, and then asked, "Dare to ask the old man, when that thief stole your money bag, he covered his face?"

The old man nodded, "Yes." The man wore a large black cloak and covered himself from top to bottom, and I didn't see his physiognomy clearly. ”

Chen Yutian nodded and said with a smile: "Sure enough, this is a technique often used by Xuandu thieves in recent years, covering his face with cloaks and other things, and then taking off the covers after stealing things, so that no one can know whether he is a thief or not, whether it is the owner or a passerby." It's just that today's man was unlucky, and he was seen through by a person with great eyesight, and he was arrested. ”

"Yes! No matter how much you hide, you can't escape my master's eyes, whether it's a thief or not, I can see it at a glance. The coarse cloth short beat the young man laughed.

Chen Yutian said: "This brother, don't be busy testifying, I didn't say that this brother must be a thief." ”

The young man said, "Hmph! He's not a thief, who else is? And you, didn't you say you can prove who the thief is? Why don't you do it?"

Chen Yutian ignored him, and asked Lin Tao instead: "You said that your father was the one who caught the thief? Could it be that when your father caught the thief, no one saw it on the surrounding streets?"

When Lin Tao heard this, he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Haha...... Speechless, is he, your father is clearly the thief!" laughed the young man.

"I'm asking him now, not you, and asking you not to speak. Chen Yutian suppressed the anger in his heart, said sharply, and then looked at Lin Tao again, "What's wrong?"

"No, I saw it, but ......," someone in the crowd suddenly spoke.

"Just what?"

"I just felt a gust of wind blowing, and then the two of them got tangled, so I didn't know who the thief was. ”

After listening, Chen Yutian was speechless.

He smiled bitterly, and then said to the two: "Both, there is indeed a plan to know which of you is a thief, but before that, can you please wash your hands first." ”

"Wash your hands?" the young man was stunned!

The onlookers around were also stunned.

Even, even Gongsun and the others, who were following Chen Yutian, were stunned.

"Why do you wash your hands? Can you just wash your hands and see who the real thief is?" said Lin Taoqi.

Chen Yutian nodded: "Yes, as long as you two wash your hands, the truth of this matter will be revealed! Brother Huo, please ask the teahouse guy to help bring two basins of water." ”

Lin Tao was surprised.

Huo Yuan gave him a very strange look and walked into the teahouse suspiciously.

The onlookers didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this boy's gourd? You can tell who the thief is by washing your hands? This is a bit strange!

"Senior brother, let them wash their hands, can they really know who the thief is?" Xuan Xi leaned over and asked in a low voice.

The corners of Chen Yutian's mouth lifted an unfathomable smile, and he whispered, "You can watch it carefully." ”

While speaking, Huo Yuanji led two teahouse guys with water to come out, and after the two guys put down the water, they stood directly on the sidelines and watched, obviously, they were also curious about how to know who the real thief was by washing their hands.

Chen Yutian looked at Lin Dao and the young man, and said, "Two, please." ”

Lin Dao was still silent, reaching into the basin.

The young man hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Lin Dao put his hand into the basin, he had no choice but to do so.

However, not long after he reached into the basin, Chen Yutian suddenly came over and grabbed his hand: "You are the thief!!"

The crowd was in an uproar!

The young man looked flustered, but said in his mouth: "You are lying to a good person, why do you say that I am a thief?"

"Evidence ......" Chen Yutian smiled slightly, pointing to the basin of water, "It's in this basin of water!!"

"In the water?" everyone was surprised, looking at Chen Yutian blankly.

Chen Yutian smiled: "Let's see, what is the difference between these two basins of water?"

When everyone heard this, they gathered around to look at the two basins of water, and soon someone said, "It seems that this basin of water has more oil flowers than that basin of water......

"That's right, it's oil!"

Chen Yutian nodded: "As the owner of the old man, his body and money bag are covered with oil, so the thief who stole this money bag should also have oil stains on his hands, and it is precisely because of this that I will let the two of you wash your hands, the purpose is to judge which of you is the real thief through the oil stains on your hands!"

"And it turns out that you are the thief!" Chen Yutian grabbed the young man's hand and said sharply.

"Oh, I see!"

Listening to Chen Yutian's explanation, the onlookers suddenly realized that Chen Yutian had found the real thief.

"No, I didn't ......" The young man looked extremely flustered, but he still had to deny, "There must be oil flowers in that pot of water, it must be like this!"

"I'm sorry, but these two basins of water are just filled with mountain spring water, and the basins are also clean, so the situation you said cannot exist. Huo Yuanji said with a hint of playful abuse at the corner of his mouth.

"And didn't you say he was a thief? Then why didn't he have oil on his hands? There was no oil in the basin? This means that he had never touched the money bag, so it was clear at once what was going on. Chen Yutian rebuked sharply.

"That's right, my dad never touched that money bag at all!" Lin Tao said.

"No, I'm ......" The young man still wanted to quibble, but someone came out of the crowd and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, if you have anything to say, come back to the yamen with me." ”

I saw that the man was holding a waist card in his hand, and the three words "Gyeonggi Catch" were written on the waist card.

This person turned out to be a quick catcher from Gyeonggi Prefecture.

As a result, the thief was taken away by the catcher who happened to be at the right time, and the onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and gradually dispersed.

"Thank you Childe for your help. Lin Tao Chongchen Yutian bowed deeply.

"Well said. Chen Yutian smiled slightly, Huo Yuanji walked over and said to Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

After hearing this, Chen Yutian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The son shouted his name, and Lao Tzu was called a brother, this generation is really messy.

"It turned out to be Brother Yuanji. Lin Dao spoke for the first time, his voice was heavy, "I haven't seen you for many days, how is Yan Zun?"

Huo Yuanji nodded and said, "Very good, Brother Lau Lin is concerned." ”

Lin Dao hugged Chen Yutian again, "Thank you for this son's clear understanding of innocence, if you are still here, please leave first, please." ”

With that, he took Lin Tao and left.

When he walked to Huo Yuanji's side, he whispered, "Say hello to Yanzun's seniors for me." ”

Huo Yuanji nodded slightly.

Then, the father and son walked slowly, their backs gradually disappearing at the end of the street......

Looking at their backs, Chen Yutian smiled slightly, and then returned to the teahouse with everyone.

......

The carriage slowly pulled up to the entrance of the palace.

"Stop!" shouted the dragon guard sergeant guarding the palace gate.

Xuan Xi and Chen Yutian stepped out of the carriage.

Xuan Xi flashed his waist card at the sergeant, and walked over without the slightest pause.

Chen Yutian was dressed in court clothes, respectfully came to the sergeants, and said: "Annoying, Lingshui County Lingchen Yutian asked to see the driver." ”

The sergeant glanced at Chen Yutian and asked, "You are the Lingshui County Commander?"

"Exactly. ”

"The Emperor has already instructed that if you arrive, you will go in directly, without having to go through. Sergeant said.

"I see. Chen Yutian nodded, walked into the palace gate, passed through the east and west halls, and went straight to the imperial study where Xuan Ye usually met with his ministers-Liangyi Palace.

Before he entered the palace, he saw Puyang Mausoleum standing outside the palace gate.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Majesty is already waiting for you inside. ”

"There is labor. Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and then walked in slowly, and sure enough, after seeing Xuan Ye sitting on the dragon book case, he carefully reviewed the folds.

"Chenchen Yutian, meet Your Majesty!"

"Hurry up, please. Xuan Ye hurriedly got up from behind the Dragon Book case, helped Chen Yutian up, looked at him deeply, and then patted Chen Yutian on the shoulder, "You're finally back." ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I'm back." ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Xuan Ye said, "You have already written in detail about the case in Lingshui County, and there is no need to talk about it again today, and that holy decree was originally written by the master when he planned to ask you to come back for a retreat." ”

Chen Yutian showed an expression of "sure enough".

Xuan Ye smiled: "You really have already guessed it." is really worthy of being the son of Chen Lao Guogong. ”

Chen Yutian said: "Speaking of my father, I heard that the emperor recently sent him to investigate the ghost military order case that happened in the capital?"

"Yes, I originally planned to invite his old man to Liangzhou to help me investigate another matter, but I think the old man is also a little older, so it's better to run less. Xuan Ye nodded and said.

Chen Yu Tianqi said: "Liangzhou, is there something going on over there?"

"Looks like you don't know yet. Xuan Ye said, picked up a copy of the book from the dragon book case, and handed it to Chen Yutian, "It's been an eventful time lately." ”
