How to break into Liaozhai

Chapter 27 Catch the Thief

The old slave of the Huo family, surnamed Qiu, has worked in the Huo family for many years, and his qualifications are very old. He is so old that he is like a stone that has existed for a long time. No one thinks he is intrusive or conspicuous, so he silently sweeps himself The ground, never mixed with other things.

This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to the master's family, and Huo Huan noticed that there was such a person in the family.

"What can you do?" Huo Huan asked hastily, since he met Miss Wang that day, he has missed Miss Wang very much, but he has no chance and it is impossible to reach the inner courtyard of the Wang family.

Seeing that there was no one around, Old Nu Qiu said in a low voice: "Young master, my ancestors touched gold. Although I don't eat this bowl of rice in my generation, there is a treasure left behind. With it, I can't dig it up." place." He said and took out a small shovel from his sleeve, this shovel looked very ordinary at first glance, it looked like it was used for digging medicinal materials.

Huo Huan asked puzzled, "What can I do with it?"

The old slave smiled and said, "Look!" After finishing speaking, he dug a big stone beside the gazebo with a shovel, and saw that the old slave didn't seem to use much force, and a piece of the stone fell down.

When Huo Huan saw it, he quickly took the shovel and tried it too.Where the shovel touched, it felt like shoveling on tofu, and the stone was dug away with almost no effort.

He couldn't put it down, playing with it: "It's not bad, it's the family heirloom of the thief."

The so-called burglary households are a great household registration. Many people in Teng County and Yi County are engaged in tomb robbery activities, and they are very powerful. The imperial court recruited them and made a separate book. The common people had disputes with them, and the imperial court favored them in every possible way. As a result, many people pretended to be burglars to file lawsuits. As a result, when the case was settled, the attention of both parties was not on the case itself, but on exposing the identity of the other party's fake burglars.

It is said that there was a joke about a family encountering a fox who harmed a girl. They caught the fox and put it in a bottle. When they were about to burn it to death, the fox yelled in the bottle: "I am a robber."

The thief's "eat well" can be seen.

Later, the imperial court couldn't bear this group of people anymore, and ordered the rectification. Not only did the thieves become unpopular, but they became the key targets of rectification, which led many thieves to come out to make a living.

The old servant of the Huo family is one of them. He has this ancestral tomb-robbing treasure. Needless to say his identity, it is naturally true.

However, he has never been to the grave in his life, and there is only such a thing in his hand, which has never been used. He thought he would bring it into the coffin, but now seeing that the young master he grew up with encountered difficulties, he donated it without hesitation.

The old slave said: "The young master likes it, so I will give it to you, but no matter what happens, don't say I gave it to you."

Huo Huan still has this responsibility: "I promise, no matter what happens, you will never be involved." After all, taking other people's things is short-handed, Huo Huan withdrew a sum of money from his private house to the old slave, which is considered a bit comfort.

Huo Huan got this small shovel and tried it again in the courtyard. Cutting stones is indeed the same as digging out tofu. He suddenly thought that if he used this shovel to dig through the wall of the Wang family's courtyard, wouldn't he be able to see his lady.

He is now fully focused on Wang Qingyuan, he just wants to run towards her, and he doesn't think much about other things.

So in the dead of night, he found an opportunity to sneak out of his house, came outside the wall of the Wang family's courtyard, dug through the courtyard wall without any effort, and got into the Wang family's compound.Although he didn't know where Miss Wang's courtyard was, he walked west according to the rule that the young master lives in the east wing and the lady lives in the west wing.

At this time, all the courtyards of the Wang family were locked, and no one moved around, so no one saw him, and he has this thing, which can dig through the walls of each courtyard at will, and come and go freely.After searching for a while, and digging through several courtyard walls, I really found the lady's courtyard.

When he arrived, Qing Yuan had already rested, and the surroundings were pitch black. He wanted to take a look at her quietly, but didn't want to turn off the lights. He couldn't see anything anymore, and couldn't help but fall into endless disappointment.

After hesitating for a moment, he dug through the wall of the house and sneaked in. The room was pitch black, and he climbed to her bed by the moonlight, smelling the fragrance of her body, and immediately felt very satisfied.

So she knelt by the bed and looked at her with her hands resting on her chin. At this moment, the moonlight came in, illuminating her face. Her lips parted slightly, and she breathed lightly, which made Huo Huan's heart beat a few times quickly unconsciously. .

He wanted to reach out to touch her, but in the end he didn't dare to cross the limit, just stared at her sleeping face like this, and after a full hour, he crawled back along the original road.

Huo Huan was satisfied that night, but he didn't know that after he left, the next morning, the maid in Miss Wang's room found a hole in the wall and screamed.

The maids not only found a hole on the wall of the house, but also on the wall of their own courtyard, and on the wall of the inner courtyard. This hole extended from the outer wall and dug all the way to the lady's room. , explain what?It means that this person is here for the lady!

There are flower pickers! This is it!

Qing Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and after a while he was afraid. He didn't know what interrupted this villain, gave up insulting her, and saved her life.

If there is a slight difference, she will be ruined.

Wang Yongde and his wife were also frightened to death, and discussed to report to the police.

"No, if you report to the officials, not only will they not be able to think of a good way to spread the news, but they will also startle the snake." Wang Rui objected: "In my opinion, that bastard didn't succeed last night, so he probably has to come tonight." , we might as well sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit. Send someone to seal the dug hole, giving him the illusion that we have repaired the past and relaxed our vigilance. Tonight, let my sister go to sleep in my room, and I will sleep here with a few servants to catch thieves!"

He hummed and thought, if you are brave enough to come to Wang's house to pick flowers, you must confiscate your crime tools!

Taking into account his daughter's reputation, Wang Yongde didn't want to make things big, so he discussed it with his wife: "Then you have to be careful yourself, and arrange a few more people to lurk in the room."

Wang Rui narrowed his eyes and assured his father: "Don't worry, I will guarantee my own safety, but I can't guarantee the thief's safety."

Seeing that his son took the initiative to ask Ying to arrest the thief, Wang Yongde felt very comforted. Raising a son is just a way of supporting the family, and this son is still reliable.

Now that the discussion was made, it was carried out according to the plan. That night, Wang Rui went to live in his sister's room, and sent four strong servants to lurk in the courtyard, just waiting to catch the thief.

On the tip of the moon, Wang Rui didn't dare to relax his vigilance. He listened to the surrounding situation with his ears upright, but he didn't hear any sound of digging the wall. If someone dug a hole and he was not asleep, he would hear something.It's so quiet all around, could it be that the thief gave up committing the crime?

Suddenly, there was a sound in the courtyard, and a servant shouted: "Master, hold him down!"

Wang Rui quickly jumped out of bed and saw that another hole had been dug next to yesterday's hole in the wall. There was a person with half of his body outside and half of his body inside. Because the outside half was held down by the servant, he couldn't move and was struggling.

Wang Rui stepped on the man's head and said with a sneer, "See how I deal with you bastard!"

At this time, the servant came in with a lamp, and Wang Rui took a candle to shine on the thief, and was stunned: "Is it you?"

Huo Huan's eye circles were red, probably because he realized that a catastrophe was imminent.

Wang Rui frowned tightly, damn, cry, you kid is a pervert, do you know it yourself?

Wang Rui grabbed Huo Huan by both arms and dragged him into the house, pushed him to the ground, and ordered his servants to call the master and wife.

The grievance on Huo Huan's face made Wang Rui feel angry: "You still have the face of grievance? Do you know what kind of behavior you are doing? It's serious. Do you know? You broke into the women's boudoir at night and tied you to the county If the yamen are light, you will lose your fame, if it is heavy, you will be punished with a stick, even if you are beheaded, you will not be wronged."

"I just want to see Miss Qing Yuan." Huo Huan explained: "I have no other ideas. She doesn't see me, so I come to see her. I just miss her."

Although Wang Rui didn't have any feudal thoughts in his mind, he had to be a little bit disciplined. No matter which dynasty or generation sneaked into the women's room, it was undoubtedly an act of adultery and crime, and he must not be forgiven lightly.He frowned, clenched his fist and punched Huo Huan a few times: "Just to see? Could it be that you dare to do other things?"

Huo Huan was in pain, and lay on the ground clutching his stomach: "I really just want to see her, nothing else."

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Wang Rui went up and kicked him a few more times: "Shut up, if you talk again, I'll kill you!"

Huo Huan covered his eyes and didn't make another sound.

Soon, the master and wife of the Wang family came.When Wang Yongde and Mrs. Zhao heard that the thieves had caught him, they immediately put on their clothes and got up and went to their daughter's room. They saw a [-]-year-old boy lying on the ground, and his son rolled up his sleeves angrily.

The second housekeeper, Niu Ziliang, leaned forward and whispered to Wang Yongde, "Young Master seems to know this man."

Wang Yongde then asked his son: "Ruier, who is this man? Do you recognize him?"

Wang Rui picked up Huo Huan, slipped in front of his father, patted Huo Huan on the head and hummed: "Huo Huan, the second son of the Huo family, I didn't expect that either."

When Wang Yongde and Zhao Shi heard this, they were startled. It would be difficult to deal with it. If they caught an ordinary gangster, they could report it to the police or lynch him.Rumor has it that the two families no longer need to be human.The two families are well matched, maybe there will be rumors outside that Miss Wang's family will seduce Master Huo's family for a tryst without checking.

Knowing that Huo Huan was the youngest scholar in the county, Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Son, you have disappointed Auntie so much. Even if Qing Yuan doesn't marry you, you can't do such a thing."

Wang Rui has never been afraid to speculate on human beings with the worst thoughts, shaking Huo Huan and said: "You kid, don't you want to tarnish my sister's reputation, and then wait for our family to submit and marry someone to you?"

Huo Huan immediately shook his head: "I swear to God, I absolutely don't have that idea, I just want to see her."

"Dig a hole to see?" Wang Rui asked after mentioning this. "How did you get in? I didn't expect you to be good at reading, and you can also dig a hole."

Huo Huan took out the small shovel in his arms: "The immortal gave me this thing. Digging stone walls is like digging tofu."

Since this world is Liaozhai, nothing is impossible. Wang Rui took the small shovel and pointed it at the ground. Sure enough, he dug out a shovel of marble easily. He was shocked. There are indeed all kinds of unimaginable things in this world. baby".

Wang Yongde and Zhao Shi also looked at it, and took a breath: "No wonder you can come in."

"This shovel is useful for shoveling the ground. I don't know what it will do to shovel people." Wang Rui dangled the shovel in front of Huo Huan, making gestures to shovel his head. Huo Huan shrank back in fright, and Wang Rui was so angry. He scolded: "Now you know you're afraid, why aren't you afraid when you wander into the boudoir at night?"

Wang Yongde is a businessman who has been in the mall for a long time, and he often deals with the government. He knows how powerful the officials are. Huo Huan was selected as a scholar at the age of 11. Although he did not participate in the provincial examination this year, if he is selected as a Jinshi in the future, it will be troublesome to remember today's hatred Forget it, stop the son: "Forget it, let's call his father and brother over."

Wang Rui poked Huo Huan's head and said, "I usually see you as gentle and gentle, but I never thought you were such a person. I must ask your father and brother to deal with you." After finishing speaking, he pushed Huo Huan to the ground , ordered people to go to Huo's house, and said where the second son of their mansion was. If he was not in the mansion, please come to Wang's house to pick him up.

The Huo family was stunned when they received the news from the Wang family in the middle of the night. They thought what was going on with the Wang family, and they wouldn't let you sleep well at night, but when they found out that their youngest son was missing, Master Huo and Huo Ke knew something had happened. , pack up quickly, Xingye came.

As soon as he entered the Wang's living room, he saw Huo Huan kneeling on the ground, Wang Rui hugging his shoulders, looking very angry.

"This is..." Master Huo didn't know what was going on, but when he saw his son in the Wang family, and then thought about the fact that he would not be able to marry Miss Wang's family, he made a guess in his mind, and he just kicked his son when he went up: "Bastard, you've completely lost the Huo family's face! Come to harass them late at night, how will I deal with you when I go back?"

Wang Rui has to point out one thing: "Uncle, you have to know that he is not only harassing, he dug through the wall with a shovel and went directly into my sister's bedroom. But don't worry, I have already noticed it and let my sister go I stayed in her room, so nothing happened."

Huo Ke covered his eyes and sighed. If he didn't notice that his younger brother did such a thing, the child was finished.

The Huo family prides themselves on being a Confucian businessman. Although their business is not as big as the Wang family's, they have always felt that their family style is stronger than other wealthy households in the county. Slowing down, he picked up the candlestick on the table, shouted that he wanted to kill Huo Huan, and rushed over.

Huo Ke quickly hugged his father, and Wang Rui also stopped him: "Uncle, calm down, can you beat him home? There is no reason to beat your child to death in another house."

The author has something to say: The prototype of this story is "Qing'e" in Liaozhai, which is a bit unpopular.The male protagonist in it is very interesting to dig and dig with a small shovel.
