Wang Erqing had a headache when he was blocked by Aunt Wang.
"Sir, I'm really here to report the crime." Aunt Wang said.
If he had just kicked him away in the past, Wang Erqing thought, no, there is no need to kick him at all. These little people would not dare to come up and harass him.
There is no way, because the prefect wants to make the sky clear, and the common people are emboldened.
"What is it about the thatched cottage that worries the thieves?" Wang Erqing said helplessly.
Aunt Wang kept saying, "It's not like you don't know, Master, that the thief is thinking about Miss Ah Qi. Don't forget, you haven't caught the culprit yet, and Miss Ah Qi is still in danger."
Wang Erqing sighed. The murderer had already killed himself. If he was so stupid, there was nothing dangerous about him.
Besides, the girl didn't seem to be afraid of being noticed by thieves, so she went to the capital to work.
It's not certain whether she can remember this broken family.
But the village woman was really annoying, and it would be even worse if she blocked him in front of the prefect. Wang Erqing sighed and could only go through the formalities with the two servants.
"This thatched cottage is right on the roadside. It's inevitable that someone will pass by and take a look." Wang Erqing said, "I'll take a look at it for you today and don't make any fuss about it in the future."
Aunt Wang was not just a pester, she thanked her profusely: "Master Cha, as long as you walk towards our village, you can scare those little ones, and we will feel at ease."
The unruly people are cunning, Wang Erqing groaned inwardly.
"If there is no Xiaoxiao, I will arrest you." He threatened.
Aunt Wang let out a low exclamation.
Scared? Wang Erqing thought to himself, and then Aunt Wang grabbed his arm.
"Look," she whispered, "the thief broke into the thatched cottage!"
Wang Erqing also looked over, and sure enough he saw a group of people in the thatched cottage, with four people standing outside. The door opened, and it was faintly visible that there were people inside——
This door is locked. It is not a ruined temple. If you open the door and go in, you will be the villain who slipped through the door and picked the lock!
Even if you're not a bad person, it's still worth asking.
Wang Erqing frowned and quickened his pace. He arrived in front of the thatched cottage and said, "You--"
"Stop." The man in black standing outside the thatched cottage shouted first, "Who are you?"
This gangster was quite arrogant. Wang Erqing suddenly lost his temper. How dare he ask them who they were? Didn't he see that he was wearing clothes with a knife?
"Bold." He yelled, holding down the sword, "Who are you? How dare you break into a private residence!"
After saying that, he pointed the knife inside.
"People inside, get out quickly."
As soon as he said this, three men in black stepped over. One raised his hand and held down Wang Erqing's knife, while another held down Wang Erqing's shoulder.
Before Wang Erqing could react, he felt his body spin around, being held down, and the knife being taken away.
The servants he was leading didn't even react, so they were pointed at a knife by a man in black and were not allowed to move.
Aunt Wang was the most astute. She held her head and ran away, thinking that the salesman was right. He was indeed a gangster and should be reported to the official. It was really vicious. These gangsters were not even afraid of official duties!
"If you have anything to ask, don't scare people." A voice came from inside the thatched cottage.
The voice was quite gentle. Wang Erqing struggled and saw someone walking out of the thatched cottage, a tall young man wearing black clothes.
He waved.
"Come here, take the person over and kneel down."
He is also a thief - Wang Erqing cursed in his heart.
"You are brave, this is the Xucheng government office -" he shouted.
But his hands were like iron pliers, and he was carried to the door, and then kicked him. Wang Erqing fell to his knees on the ground. He cursed crazily in his heart, struggled to raise his head, and saw a person sitting in the thatched cottage.
He couldn't help but curse.
This man is very good-looking.
Oddly enough, it's so good-looking that it's scary.
His eyes were dark and his thin lips were dark. He held a wooden carved bird in his slender hand and turned it around. The wooden carved bird jumped around on the palm and back of his hand as if it were alive.
At the same time, you can also see a deep scar on his hand, making this hand terrifying.
Wang Erqing swallowed hard and then heard the man's voice.
"Zhu Chuan, if you have something to say, say it carefully and don't make fun of others."
"Are you a servant of Xu Cheng? I am Huo Lian, from the Ducha Division."
Wang Erqing felt that the saliva he swallowed was like a stone, which made others fall down and hit the threshold with a thud.
Zhu Chuan laughed: "Captain, you are too scary, you might as well be teasing me."
Wang Erqing felt his ears buzzing, as if he was dreaming or a nightmare. Otherwise, how could he hear Huo Lian's name?
Not to mention him as a small town servant, even the urchins in the small town know this name.
That's a name that adults in the family often use to scare their children.
"If you don't obey me again, if you don't obey me again, I will let Governor Huo arrest you."
Someone stretched out his hand to help him: "Come on, don't be afraid." After a pause, he stretched out his hand and handed something over, "Hey, I forgot to show you. This is our waist badge. Please verify that you are upright and you are not cheating."
you."
The black waistband with bright red characters engraved on it was poked in front of his eyes, and Wang Erqing's breath stagnated again.
Then there was laughter.
"Are you a servant of the government office?" Huo Lian asked.
Wang Erqing felt that he was speechless, but he did not dare not to speak. He nodded and responded in a mute voice. His heart was in turmoil. It was over, it was over, and he didn't know who in Xu Cheng was going to end.
"Who owns this house?" Huo Lian asked.
Wang Erqing's confused mind froze for a moment, ah? Who?
"Whose house is here?" Huo Lian asked again, pointing around.
Wang Erqing said: "Ah Qi, Qixing."
"Seven stars." Huo Lian read it again and asked, "Where is she now?"
Are you here for this Ah Qi? Is this the embroiderer who wants to die? Wang Erqing thought, and replied: "She is not here now. She is the embroiderer, from Linglongfang. Linglongfang took over the business and asked her to go to the capital to work with others.
, her maternal grandfather and mother are both dead, and the orphan girl lives here alone. She has just turned sixteen this year."
Regardless of what Huo Lian asked or what he didn't ask, Wang Erqing said it all in one breath.
Suddenly I was very grateful to Qixing for reporting the crime earlier. He knew her situation very well.
But then he thought, if Qixing hadn't reported the case, he wouldn't have dealt with her, wouldn't have been harassed by Aunt Wang today, and wouldn't have bumped into Huo Lian.
Alas, bad luck.
After hearing his call, Huo Lian nodded: "Very good, very good."
The praise relieved the tension a little. Wang Erqing took a breath and looked at Huo Lian secretly - was it really for this embroiderer that Governor Huo, the Inspector General, came here?
So how big of a case does this Seven Stars have to commit?!
This, this, this—
"This room is quite nice." Huo Lian said, "I'll borrow it."
Ah? Wang Erqing was stunned again, what?
"We passed by here while working on a case and saw that this house was nice, so we borrowed it to stay." Zhu Chuan squatted down, looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Chai, you came just in time to help us be a guarantor to avoid being regarded as a gangster.
"
Oh - Wang Erqing was stunned, and the next moment he was grabbed by the shoulders and picked up.
Zhu Chuan put his arm on his shoulder: "Also, we are handling the case secretly. Please tell the people in charge here not to disturb you if there is any news of leaks."
His hand tightened.
Wang Erqing felt that his arm was about to be removed, so he quickly responded: "I know, I know."
After saying that, he knelt down.
"Don't worry, sir——"
But Huo Lian, who was sitting on the chair, raised her hand and shushed him softly.
Being stared at by those eyes, Wang Erqing swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He just shouted in his heart, "Yes, I know, keep it secret."
What kind of turmoil was stirred up in the Xucheng Mansion Yamen is unknown to outsiders.
It is inevitable that no one knows how many people there are in Xu City late at night.
There were bright lights in Ruyi Square late at night, but there was no work being done by Mr. Wei, and shopkeeper Lu was not looking at the account books. There was no smile on their faces, and their brows were furrowed.
"I'm just passing by to rent a house." Shopkeeper Lu whispered, looking at Wei Dong's family, "Do you believe it?"
