Master of Rebirth

"My lord, what is going on, who sent this letter?" Upon hearing the news, Master Zhu didn't dare to neglect, and rushed over in a panic.

Magistrate Ma said with a serious face: "Same as last time, it was sent by a child. The child has been found. It is a child from a nearby family. It is said that a young uncle gave him a few pieces of candy to deliver the letter. There is nothing else. Ask what."

"Can the letter be read next?" Xu Baichuan asked.

Magistrate Ma only noticed the two strangers now, and asked, "Who are you two?"

"Oh, this is Brother Xu Da that students often mention to you." Master Zhu quickly introduced: "Brother Xu Da passed by our county and came to visit students specially."

Huang Xing couldn't help rolling his eyes, and thought: "Brother Xu is worthy of being a famous 'variety niche', he even has surprisingly many names, and now he's called Xu Da again."

"You are Xu Da." County Magistrate Ma looked Xu Baichuan up and down, and said, "I heard from Master Zhu that you helped clear up his innocence back then, and you were very capable."

Xu Baichuan hastily cupped his hands and said: "My lord is too famous, Caomin is just a countryman, I am really ashamed of receiving a few high-handed glances from Big Brother Zhu."

"Grandpa, brother Xu has his own opinion about the thieves, and the subordinates think what he said is quite reasonable." Master Zhu quickly repeated what Xu Baichuan said.

After hearing Master Zhu's words, Ma County Magistrate felt that Xu Baichuan's thinking was very strange, but there was some truth to it, so he couldn't help but said: "If Brother Xu can help me recover the lost property, I will reward you very much."

"If the thief really came, the grassroots should do their best. But Mr. Ma, according to Mr. Zhu, this theft has happened for a long time, and there should be many people who know the inside story. How can Mr. Ma be sure about this time?" The person who wrote the letter is the same as before, is it possible that someone imitated the crime?" Xu Baichuan said.

"Impossible, the handwriting on the note is exactly the same as the previous two times." Ma County Magistrate said and handed him all three pieces of paper in his hand, saying: "The handwriting on this letter is very unique. Extremely high, it should be difficult for ordinary people to imitate."

Xu Baichuan took it over and saw that the handwriting on the three notes was exactly the same.

Master Zhu said: "Brother Xu, there are very few people in our county who can read and write, and there are even fewer people who can have this kind of calligraphy. After the accident, I have compared the handwriting of the scholars in the county one by one. No, there is no match."

"Has anyone else seen this note?" Xu Baichuan asked.

Mr. Zhu said: "I did the handwriting comparison myself, no one else. Except for my grandfather, me and a few yamen servants, no one else has seen it."

"Brother Zhu, are you sure?" Xu Baichuan obviously didn't believe it.

Master Zhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "By the way, the Dong family brothers from Gu Baozhai have also seen it."

"Gubaozhai?" Xu Baichuan searched for this place in his mind.

Master Zhu quickly explained: "The Dong family has run an antique shop in the county. It has been open for many years and has sold many calligraphy and paintings. The eldest son of the Dong family, Dong Chen, has a lot of research on calligraphy, so I want to try my luck with them. It happened that Dong Chen was not around, so I gave the note to the second son, Dong Jue. But I only asked them if they recognized the handwriting, and didn't bring up the case."

Seeing the deep thought on Xu Baichuan's face, Master Zhu said: "Does Brother Xu think that someone copied this word? It's impossible. Even if Dong Chen copied it, it can only be compared to copying. I only kept the word 'Tonight Zishi' that day. Four characters, and nothing else, and the character 'Li' is different from the character 'Wang'."

Xu Baichuan hurriedly said: "Brother Zhu is worrying too much, I just asked casually."

"Brother Xu is thoughtful, so it doesn't hurt to ask a few more questions." Master Zhu didn't care too much.

Xu Baichuan said: "This note only says that Wang's family was stolen. I wonder how many people surnamed Wang are there in Pingyao County?"

"Although there are many families surnamed Wang in Pingyao County, there is only one big family." Master Zhu said with a smile.

Xu Baichuan thought to himself: "Could it be the family of that wimpy prince?"

"Grandfather, I heard that the second master and the second young master of the Wang family went out a few days ago and took away a large number of servants and nurses from the mansion. It is reasonable for the thief to choose the Wang family as his target." Master Zhu said to County Magistrate Ma .

The head catcher who stood beside him hurriedly said: "Grandpa, it's getting late now, this subordinate should take someone to the Wang's house for deployment."

"Okay, you can lead the people there." Magistrate Ma said.

"Wait a minute." Master Zhu said, "Grandfather, if it's true what Brother Xu said, we will go there with great fanfare at this time, and I'm afraid we will startle the snake again. If the thief retreats like the Wu family did last time, wouldn't we rush again?" empty?"

Magistrate Ma said: "Then what does Master mean?"

"Hmm..." Master Zhu couldn't think of a way yet, so he couldn't help but pause.

Xu Baichuan took over the conversation and said: "Since the second master and the second young master of the Wang family are not at home, the only one who can make decisions in the Wang family is the young master. From Caomin's point of view, it's better to quietly call the young master out and talk to him first. Let him be on guard. At night, our people will secretly lie in ambush outside, if the thief makes any movement, he will definitely be able to take the stolen goods."

"That's right, that's what the students think too." Master Zhu said hurriedly.

Magistrate Ma nodded and said: "Master is still thoughtful. If that's the case, please ask Master Zhu to arrange it. The thief must be captured."

"Master Ma, Caomin also wants to do his best with him." Xu Baichuan said respectfully, "After all, Caomin is not a member of the yamen. If he enters and exits Wang's house, he should not attract the attention of thieves."

"It's better to have Brother Xu's help. Grandpa, what do you think?" Master Zhu asked tentatively.

Magistrate Ma said: "It's the best."

With County Magistrate Ma's nod, Xu Baichuan went out with Master Zhu in an open and honest manner.

"Brother Xu, I'm the teacher in the county. I don't have much contact with the Wang family on weekdays. If I go in and out of the Wang family like this, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the thieves. Why don't I give you a letter of divorce, and you can take it to the young master of the Wang family." After leaving the county office , Master Zhu said.

Xu Baichuan said: "But I'm an outsider after all, and I'm not familiar with the Wang family, so I'm afraid it will attract attention if I go to visit rashly."

"That's what you said." Master Zhu was a little embarrassed, "But you have to find a way to inform Mr. Wang."

Xu Baichuan rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know what is the relationship between the two young masters of Gu Baozhai and the eldest son of the Wang family?"

"Wang Qi has a good relationship with Dong Jue, the second son of the Dong family." After Xu Baichuan's reminder, Master Zhu immediately thought of a way: "Brother Xu means that we go directly to Gubaozhai, and ask Dong Jue to send someone to take Wang Qi away." call out."

Xu Baichuan praised: "Brother Zhu, this is a good idea."

"Where, in the final analysis, Brother Xu is the wit." Master Zhu said with a smile.

Dong Jue sent someone to invite, Wang Qi thought that there was something strange going on in Jia Fugui's place, so he tidied up a bit and went to Gubaozhai.After entering the private room, he saw Master Zhu and two strangers inside, and couldn't help being taken aback.

After telling Wang Qi about the matter, Master Zhu said: "Actually, Mr. Ma can send yamen guards to guard the palace, and the thief will not dare to approach. But if the thief is not captured for a day, the Wang family and the entire Pingyao County will not be safe. In order to catch the thieves and eliminate harm for the people, Mr. Ma has no choice but to make a bad move, and I hope the prince will understand."

"Lord Ma and Master Zhu have thought carefully, and I will definitely obey the arrangements of Master Ma and Master Zhu. Don't worry, Master Zhu, I will make arrangements in the manor." Wang Qi cupped her hands in thanks.

Master Zhu was very happy to see him cooperate so much, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your understanding. If that's the case, I'll go back to the county government to make arrangements. Don't worry, Mr. Wang, the thief will be captured tonight."

Xu Baichuan said: "Brother Zhu, since there are not many nursing homes in Prince Wang's mansion, and the yamen servants are not willing to go in to protect them, why don't you let the younger brother follow Prince Wang back to the mansion, so as to save Lord Ma and Brother Zhu from worrying."

"It's the best." Master Zhu was overjoyed, and said to Xu Baichuan, "Then I'll leave it to my brother."

Wang Qi also bowed to Xu Baichuan, "Then I will thank you, big brother."

"My lord, you are being polite, just call me Xu Da." Xu Baichuan cupped his hands.

"Brother Xu." Wang Qi said respectfully.

After giving some instructions to Wang Qi and Xu Baichuan, Master Zhu went back to the yamen.

Seeing Wang Qi's leisurely and leisurely appearance, as if she didn't worry about what happened tonight at all, Xu Baichuan couldn't help but think that when encountering such a big event, he could still remain calm, which is not what a cowardly and incompetent rich young master should be. The appearance, this point, is very abnormal.

"Young Master Wang didn't panic at all when such a big incident happened in the house, which shows his courage." Xu Baichuan looked at Wang Qi's calm face and said.

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Brother Xu is too famous, it is precisely because of the help of Master Zhu and Brother Xu that I can feel at ease."

"I heard from Mr. Dong that Mr. Wang also saw the note sent by the thief?" Xu Baichuan asked tentatively.

Wang Qidao: "Brother Wu Shuang did show me a note that said 'Tonight Zishi', and asked me if I recognized the handwriting. But I didn't know at the time that it was left by the thief."

"What do you think of that word?" Xu Baichuan asked.

Wang Qi said: "At that time, I just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it."

Seeing that he spoke impeccably, Xu Baichuan felt more and more that this young master was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, but he did not continue to ask.

"It's getting late, please go back with brother Xu and younger brother." Wang Qi said.

Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, Xu Baichuan came out of the private room. Huang Xing observed his words and followed him, "Brother, why do you care so much about this rich man? Is there something wrong with him?"

Xu Baichuan said in a deep voice: "This young master is not as simple as he looks. Moreover, he has seen the handwriting on the note."

Huang Xing said: "Don't you suspect that the note sent to the Yamen today was copied by him?"

"In order to imitate the handwriting, I have practiced for more than ten years. If I can imitate the handwriting so accurately with just one glance, I must be a genius. This Wang Qi is too young, so she should not have such sophisticated skills." Xu Baichuan shook Shaking his head, "But since that person can imitate the handwriting and point the target at the Wang family, the Wang family must be lively tonight. I also want to see who the thief who came to the door is. You send some brothers to take care of it and let them pay attention Focus on the area around Wang's house to prevent those yamen servants from going blind."

Huang Xing nodded and said, "Little brother, let's arrange it now."

Back in the elegant room, Wang Qi saw that Huang Xing had disappeared, and said, "Where is the other big brother?"

"Oh, he has something to do, come here later. Don't worry, Mr. Wang, the next person will keep you safe." Xu Baichuan said.

Wang Qi cupped her hands and said, "Then I will trouble brother Xu."
