Chapter 142 Who is the thief?

Just as he was walking on the road, patrolling at the foot of the imperial city, thinking about how to submit his resignation, he suddenly heard a quarrel in front of him, and saw that all the people around him gathered in that direction.

Xing Butou looked at the sky, it was just the morning court, and now the officials of all ministries should have come out at this moment, if they see the chaos at the foot of the palace, what will be the face of Chang'an Mansion!
Thinking of this, Catcher Xing hurried forward.

"Stop!" Xing Butou yelled sharply: "Do you know where this is? At this time, the palace, the holy place of heaven, how can you allow you to quarrel and make noise! ​​What's going on?"

Catcher Xing listened to the story of Wu Xiang and the two of them, and at the same time, he winked at one of his subordinates. The policeman quickly understood and dispersed the crowd around the audience.

It turned out that after Wu Xiang had delivered the fried liver to Li Chengdao and the others, he turned around and saw a man with a sly eyebrow wandering near the cash box of his stall.When the man saw Wu Xiang looking at him, he seemed a little panicked and turned to leave.

At this time, Wu Xiang immediately went to open the cash box, checked and found that the money was missing, and suddenly realized that, fortunately, the man had not walked far, so Wu Xiang caught him within a few steps.

The two quarreled over this, and then Catcher Xing came over to treat someone.

At this time, Wu Xiang and another person were being restrained by the officials of the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion. Catcher Xing looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you do?"

"My lord, the villain is from the south, and he came here to sell some silk products. Yesterday, the goods in my hands have already been sold, and the money is in my bag!"

"Originally, the villain planned to leave early today after having breakfast, but he didn't want to turn around and prepare to pay the bill after the villain finished eating, only to find that this fellow took out the money he earned from selling the villain from the villain's bag! I beg Master Qingtian to be the master!"

"He said you stole his money, is there such a thing?"

Catcher Xing turned his head to face Wu Xiang, and asked sharply, Wu Xiang shook his head again and again when he heard the words, and said, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense, the villain Wu Xiang, from Chang'an, earns a living by making breakfast every day. !"

"Just now when I delivered food to those objective people, I turned around and saw this man wandering around near the villain's cash box. When he saw that the villain found him, he was very flustered and wanted to run away. The villain checked The cash box, only to find that there is less money in the cash box, this person must have stolen it!"

When Wu Xiang said this, he inadvertently pointed his finger at the side of the big stick hammer. Xing Tutou found the big stick hammer, and looked at the parent official of Chang'an City, who was indifferent to the disputes of the common people and was still there Feast on yourself, this person is really... hey...

Before they had time to think about it, the two of them had already quarreled again.Seeing this, Catcher Xing beat the short stick in his hand and said, "Don't make any noise!"

"Wu Xiang, how much money did you lose?"

"This... this... villain hasn't counted yet, because he was still picking up customers in the morning, and the villain usually counts how much money he made in a day after returning home!"

"What about you who buy silk fabrics, do you have any money?"

"Yes!" The man said confidently, "The villain bought a total of 12 taels of silver yesterday!"

"Come on, let's take a look!"

At this time, the arrester under Xing Butou came forward, took the man's bag, carefully separated the money from other items, and then began to count the money.

"Reporting to the head arrester, I have just been counted by my subordinates and others, and there is a total of ten taels of grain silver, and the rest are copper coins, a total of twelve taels of grain silver!"

"In this way, this case is closed. This Wu Xiang stole other people's property. According to the law of my Tang Dynasty, Wu Xiang should return twice as much property as he stole. Come on, bring Wu Xiang back to Chang'an Mansion for me, and wait for the governor's order." Master deal with it!"

"My lord, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged!"

Wu Xiang heard the words, knelt down and yelled, but how could the officials of the Chang'an government government care so much, just stepped forward, and put Wu Xiang on a tendon rope with a quick movement.

"slow!"

"who!"

Xing Butou was about to take Wu Xiang away when he suddenly heard a voice from behind. When he turned his head, what caught his eyes was his big, shiny face with a big stick and hammer.

"Old Xing, the arresting head of the Chang'an government office, see Mr. Li, the governor of the Chang'an government office!"

After finishing speaking, Catcher Xing took the lead and knelt down. Seeing this, the cops behind him also followed suit.

For a moment, everyone at the scene was stunned...

"Uh...Xing Butou get up, everyone get up too!"

The big stick hammer said, and behind him, Li Chengdao and Kong Ming looked at him with smiles on their faces. Li Chengdao whispered to Kong Ming: "Come on, let's see if our governor of Chang'an can solve this matter!"

At this time, Big Banghammer had already stood up and came to the silk vendor. Big Banghammer picked up the bag, checked it carefully, and asked, "Where did you say you got the money from?"

Hearing this, the peddler rolled his eyes and said, "I report to Mr. Fu Yin, this money is from my sale of silk fabrics!"

"Oh, can the person who bought it still be able to find it?"

Big Stick Hammer asked, the peddler shook his head again and again, and said, "I can't find him, and I don't know where he is. We buy and sell for a small amount, and we pay for the goods and deliver the goods. My lord, what do you mean by interrogating me? The real suspect." Over there, why do you keep asking the villain!"

The peddler protested. At this moment, Big Stick rolled his eyes and said, "Did you eat here this morning?"

"No!" said the peddler, "I was about to eat when I suddenly turned my head and saw this guy stealing something!"

When Big Bang Hammer came to Wu Xiang's side, Wu Xiang didn't seem to expect that this regular customer in front of him, who was not amazing in appearance and even a bit ugly, turned out to be the governor of Chang'an Mansion.I felt happy and scared at the same time.

"Wu Xiang, I want to ask you, did you personally collect all the money at this stall?"

"Yes, my lord!" Wu Xiang said: "I spread small profits, and I can't afford to hire others. I have always been busy alone!"

Xing Butou listened to the big stick hammer asking east and west, his patience was running out little by little, he didn't know what the big stick hammer wanted to do, but after all, he was the chief officer, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to endure it.

Big Stick Hammer got the answer he wanted, laughed, and said: "The public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is reasonable. I don't think it is clear to people. Let him tell us!"

"It? Who is it your lord is referring to?"

"Who is that, go fetch a bucket of cold water!"

The big stick gave orders to the policeman behind Xing Butou, the policeman hesitated for a moment, looked at Xing Butou, Xing Butou saw this, and said: "Go, you don't listen to the orders of Mr. Fuyin ?"

Then the arrester starts now.Not long after, he came back with a large bucket of cold water.

Everyone looked at the big hammer in puzzlement, not knowing what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd. Li Chengdao and Kong Ming were smiling all over their faces behind. With this little cleverness!"

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's a little cleverness, but a result of life experience. If you don't know, even cleverness can't think of such a way!"

"Shh, wait and see!"
