In the front hall, the banquet surface of the rain prayer banquet was removed and temporarily arranged into a court.
Several mahogany square tables inlaid with mountain water grain marble are spliced together. The magistrate sits in the middle, but there is no plaque of "mirror hanging high" on his head. He is wearing straight plain clothes and doesn't hold a startling wood in his hand. Even though the people know that this is the magistrate of Jiangliu County, Guan Wei has disappeared in his dress, the lingering honey sweetness in the lobby and the plump meat flavor.
Master sharpened his ink and waited for the record.
Several invited village heads, fat and thin monks and Taoists were arranged to the side hall.
The people who made trouble outside the door were brought in one by one.
"What are you holding in your hand to copy the family and destroy the family and rob while the fire is burning?" The moustache on his lips spoke with the magistrate, warped and warped, with some joy, but it was a pot thrown on everyone. No one had time to pay attention to his beard, and the woman was stunned by his words.
The leading man took the lead in shouting: "my Lord is wronged! Our family was patronized by thieves and took away the jade bracelets of our heirs, which is more than that. He swam around every family very arrogantly and took away the most valuable or... Most private things of every family. It happened that he ran very fast. We chased after him. He turned into the wall of the LV family and disappeared. We had to disturb him when we came to the door. "
Echoing voices and shouting grievances were heard everywhere, making the front hall like a vegetable market. The magistrate heard the temple jump suddenly, patted the table and shouted, "enough, shut up!"
No one listened, but the leader looked at his words and expressions, turned back and comforted the people behind him. They calmed down, the magistrate frowned and smiled with satisfaction.
He narrowed his eyes and stroked his moustache. In front of him, he knew that local guests came to the running room of the restaurant. They were famous for their eloquence and eloquence. Occasionally, they listened to the pear tree outside the private school and barely studied.
After understanding the context, he asked member Lu, "do you know this?"
LV member was sweating and yelling, "my Lord, I have a fortune in Jiangliu county. How can I look at their things, let alone steal things at risk, foolishly return to my home and lead them all to make a fuss!"
"That's reasonable."
Just as he wanted to hastily close the case and send all the people out, a young man and a servant girl came to his house. They were Ping'er, the close servant girl of his mother tiger. Ping'er blessed himself. He said that it was inconvenient for others to hear something important. He was recognized by the county magistrate and whispered in his ear.
If on weekdays, the beautiful maidservant whispered softly on the side of Wu Nong and exhaled like LAN, he must be distracted, but what Ping'er said made his face green and red for a while, and he couldn't get up at all.
The attitude immediately changed 180 °: "besides LV, please send someone to check every corner of your house and give the people a statement to prove your innocence. Otherwise, I have to take you back to the county government for a good trial."
This thief is so hateful. Who is harming him!
Compared with the attitude before and after, combined with what they said, the bold thief even dared to steal from the magistrate's house and fled to his house!
Member Lu, who dares to hold a lucky heart, grits his teeth and asks the housekeeper to call all the servants in the family for a carpet search! Don't let go of any corner!
The culprit who was caught alive by LV Yuanwai. Now, on the way to meet Peiyang and them along the clue, Pei Bu rubbed the palm and back of his hand on the bamboo crazily: "I can't bear to steal the old woman's belly pocket. Why do you let me take the magistrate's wife's... Mother's sweat smell!"
Pei Chuan said, "if you don't do this, you can't bring him in. The key is that it's easy to take it away. The wooden basin in the ear room is not only light, but also can wrap other fragmentary things, so you won't miss other people's valuables. Well, hurry up and lead people here to find the young master. They should wait. "
Remove the bonsai and place the flower goblet as thin as paper and as white as jade on the most prominent high table in the courtyard. The flower goblet is inserted with several tired silk plum blossom gold hairpins, decorated with jade tassels, shaking step by step, and a jade bracelet with paste, under which is pressed the belly pocket that the magistrate's wife hasn't washed.
He emptied more than half of the things in hand, and suddenly felt sharp. Peibu wanted to put the rest into the flower goblet, but peichuan stopped him.
"Keep some, maybe you can use it elsewhere."
Patter——
Water drops fell sporadically on the ground. Ah Yao felt cool on her head and looked up. Bean sized raindrops fell on her forehead. The water was cool.
She wiped the water on her forehead and said to Pei Shuo on the other side of the wall through the leaky window, "it's raining! Pei Shuo, we have to take the children to a place with tiles to cover their heads. "
Pei Shuo and Wang, the child bought by a Yao with a small bow and crossbow, look after the sent children outside, while Peibo and Peiyang act as transporters to and from Lv's home.
A Yao comforts the children who are watching their friends fly out one by one and have not been able to leave.
The number of people is decreasing, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier. It is dense like a thin line hanging curtain. The mountain scenery, stone path and bamboo forest not far away can not be seen clearly, only a vague outline.
I vaguely heard someone shouting happily that God is finally gracious and rainy.
Looking at the continuous raindrops on the eaves, the wind and rain came to the room, cool to the bone. Ah Yao rubbed her hands and wiped her arms, but her anxiety reached the peak.
"When can we leave?"
Pei Yang has just left. Pei Bo hasn't come yet. There are 15 pairs of boys and girls left, only a Yao and a little girl similar to her age.
She asked ah Yao.
"Later, the eldest brother will pick you up and go home to find your mother." A Yao calmed her mind and secretly prayed for everything to go well.
With the heavy rain and the passage of time, Peibo and Peiyang's physical consumption is increasing, and the back and forth time interval is gradually lengthened.
I hope Pei wears and Pei steps smoothly.
A figure appeared in the rain curtain. Ah Yao nervously pulled the little girl behind the table. The atmosphere dared not breathe. The figure became clear and clear. It turned out to be Pei Bo!
"Great." Finally, the last one was sent out, and a Yao put down the big stone in her heart.
Pei Bo picked up the little girl, covered her with oil paper, and handed the small bow and crossbow to a Yao with the other hand. She jumped in her heart and looked at him at a loss. Pei Bo couldn't face a Yao's bright eyes comparable to the starry sky on a summer night.
He brought a bad news: "Pei Yang has a cramp on his way here. You have to wait a little longer. I'll pick you up. Take this for yourself and be careful."
The starlight all over her eyes suddenly faded. Ah Yao was lost. She answered with a low voice, and the hand that took over the crossbow was trembling: "it's raining and the road is slippery, and the visibility is low. Brother Peibo should also be careful."
"We'll see you later." The little girl in peibury's arms smiled and waved to her.
"See you later."
They left. In less than a few seconds, a Yao was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Pei wears Peibu. Come on!
"Sneeze!" Pei Bu rubbed his itchy nose. "Which way are we going?"
Although he can remember and describe the terrain in a short time, when it rains, he runs around like an ant without a signal.
Pei wears a teenage girl on her shoulder. If a Yao is here, she will find that this is a neurotic roommate who used to be in the same wing room with her“ Go out and settle her down first. "
"That's all I can do."
Pei Chuan and Pei bu also left the LV family with people.
As soon as the front foot left, a silly looking fat man at the back foot happily pushed the door open: "food, I'm coming ~"
