Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 190 Catch the Thief
It is indeed a bit strange.

There were people in those houses at night, and they went out during the day to visit relatives and friends. The thief should be a little nervous.

After all, even if you go out, you may come back suddenly for various reasons, and you are easy to be caught.

On the contrary, it was the house where Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun lived. The lock on the gate was hanging brightly. It was obvious that they had returned to their hometown during the Chinese New Year and were not here.

Such a house, almost no one would come back at will, logically speaking, it is easier to become the target of thieves.

"Could it be that you feel that since people have gone home for the New Year, there must be no money in this family?"

Li Zhongan said, "However, there is something wrong. The other people who were stolen from their homes did not get stolen because the silver taels were hidden, but many other things were also lost."

"Ms. Jiang and Mr. Song's homes contain a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and even some medicinal cloths are quite valuable. The thieves would not even let go of the less delicate porcelain vases from other people's houses, let alone let go of them logically."

Jiang Mixia nodded, "It's indeed a bit unusual."

But she couldn't figure out why.

Jiang Mixia thought about this, but saw Song Jingyun was busy in the flower garden with a small shovel that he used to tend flowers and plants on weekdays.

"What is Xianggong doing?" Jiang Mixia asked.

"I was thinking about it. There might be a reason why the thief didn't steal from our house, but only stole from other people's house." Song Jingyun replied.

Jiang Mixia, "..."

This big guy can see it.

"So I'm thinking that there may be two reasons for this thief. One of them may be that I think that as a scholar, I also have friendship with the county magistrate on weekdays, and I'm afraid of getting into trouble."

"The second reason may be that there is no silver 300 taels here."

"You mean..."

Li Zhongan became energetic.

While talking, the shovel in his hand made a "ding" sound. Song Jingyun hurriedly shoveled away the surrounding soil and found an oiled paper bag, and the oiled paper bag was wrapped with scattered silver, silver hairpins, bracelets, etc. .

Li Zhongan hastily called the Yacha to identify him.

"This bracelet has the words Wealth, Nobility and Peace on it, and there is a bump on the living mouth, which seems to be the same as what Qu Liangzhe's family reported as lost." A Yamen official said.

"This hairpin is inlaid with a pearl, it seems to be the dowry hairpin that Guo Dashu's wife said." Yachai said again.

"This silver bowl belongs to Hao Chengsi's family..."

Obviously, these things were buried here by the thief who stole the belongings of each family.

Not stealing property from Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun's house, but deliberately burying the stolen things in the garden in the courtyard...

This purpose is somewhat obvious.

Li Zhongan touched his chin, but then frowned, "This person has intentions, how vicious."

Jiang Mixia nodded.

It is indeed very vicious.

Buried the stolen things in the yard of her house. In the eyes of others, she and Song Jingyun, who did not lose anything, were thieves.

Even if Li Zhongan checked afterwards and confirmed that Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun were both in Jiangjia Village when these people lost their belongings, and there were people around them who could testify, they still had to mutter a few words.

Muttering why her house was not stolen, and why the thief didn't take the things away, but buried them in her house, so she would also believe that she and Song Jingyun had an inseparable relationship with the thief.

Terrible.

This rumor has been going on for a long time, even if she and Song Jingyun are not afraid of the slanting shadow and ignore it, such rumors will affect normal life.

The purpose of this thief is to create trouble for her and Song Jingyun.

"Do you want to catch this thief?" Song Jingyun asked.

"That's natural." Li Zhong'an said, "It's just that although the dirt is found now, if you want to find the person who stole it, I'm afraid you have to investigate one by one, and it will take a while."

"I have a way here to help you catch this thief faster." Song Jingyun laughed.

"Oh?" Li Zhongan raised his eyebrows.
-
When Li Zhongan left with the servants, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun also packed up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the neighbors in the nearby neighborhood joined together.

"What's missing from your house?"

"I lost two calligraphy and paintings, three ancient books, and some medicinal materials given by others. Speaking of which, the medicinal materials were given by shopkeeper Zheng, and they are not cheap."

Jiang Mixia sighed when she spoke, and even gritted her teeth, "This thief is really hateful. He steals things even if he picks them up. He's really mad at me."

"That's right, if you say it's a thief, it's pissing off. My house is the same. All the things that are lost are the most valuable. This thief is also very good. He knows which one is good!"

"If this thief is caught, the town will be hacked into pieces, it's so hateful!"

"The key is when we can catch this nasty thief..."

"..."

Because of complaining about this nasty thief here, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun stayed for a while before leaving. When they left, their faces were full of anger.

In the evening of that day, news came out from the county government.

The thief who said he was stealing has been arrested and is being interrogated.

He also said that the thief who stole things came from the west. He had suffered a disaster at home and came to the county to join his relatives, but he couldn't find his relatives, and he spent all the money in his hands. thought.

After walking around for a long time, and taking advantage of the Chinese New Year time when many people were not at home during the day, they climbed over the wall and went in to steal, and the stolen money was spent on eating and drinking.

As soon as such news came out, all the people who had been stolen became even more angry.

If the family suffered a disaster and came to seek refuge, it means that the family has no property to repay.

The stolen money was squandered by eating and drinking. Even if he was beaten and sent to prison, the money would definitely not come back.

Really hateful!

As long as I think about the money that I am not willing to eat, wear and save, or the jewelry I bought, and others will spend it lavishly, my heart will twitch one after another.

Therefore, throughout the first half of the night, the entire alley was filled with abuse from many people.

There are also people who are frowning and pacing back and forth at home.

Nearly fifteen, the moon is half full, the weather is fine, the moonlight is bright, and the earth is brightly illuminated.

When the moon was setting in the middle of the night, a figure sneaked out of the yard of his house. After wandering in the alley for a while, seeing that the night was quiet and there was no one else around, he climbed over the wall and jumped into Jiang Mixia's house. In the courtyard of Song Jingyun's family.

After entering, he didn't rush to open the lock to find something, but took out a small shovel from his waist, and dug around in the flower garden.

After digging for a long time, it seems that I haven't found what I want.

The black shadow was extremely surprised, and searched in another place, but still found nothing.

After doing this a few times, he gritted his teeth, and simply took out another oiled paper bag from his waist, and put it into the newly dug earth pit.
