Chapter 94

He saw the thief entering another courtyard with his own eyes, and the servant dodged and obstructed in every way. It seems that he is guilty of being a thief.

As the commander of Xicheng military and Horse Department, he is now in full view of the public. Naturally, such hidden dangers cannot be ignored.

"Bang!"

A powerful soldier took a saber and broke the fine copper lock three or five times.

"Go in and search!"

Seeing that the servant had to stop again, the commander made his face sink: "this man has obstructed his official business many times, and he will be taken down for discussion!"

Two soldiers and officials, one on the left and one on the right, controlled people.

The servant was very anxious. He was afraid that they would not find anything unusual at that time. Instead, he delayed things because of him. He immediately explained in a hurry: "my lord really misunderstood. I'm just afraid of the blame of the master at home! I have no desire to hide!"

The conductor ignored him.

Whether there is any suspicion or not will be decided after taking down the thief.

The layout in the study was simple. The thief hiding behind the half man high vase in the corner of the bookshelf was soon found.

"I... I'll just give you my money bag. I'm also confused for a moment. Don't come here!"

The thief looked frightened and threw out his pocket.

A soldier official raised his hand and approached with a knife.

The money bag should be returned to the owner, and the thief should of course be caught.

"You..." the thief trembled and stood up. In a panic, he grabbed the book box on the bookshelf behind him and threw it away.

The servant saw it with a faint sigh of relief.

It seems that the frightened thief didn't pretend. Maybe he was just an ordinary thief who happened to break into here——

But the next moment, he didn't think so.

The thief "happened to" encounter the mechanism behind the dark grid and saw that the bookshelf was divided into two in front of several soldiers and officials and slowly opened it!

The little thief was "startled" by this scene. He couldn't escape. It seemed that he couldn't think too much. He turned and went behind the gap in the bookshelf.

"My lord..."

The soldier official was surprised and subconsciously looked at the commander with his eyes asking for instructions.

Who would have thought that there would be a secret room in this ordinary study!

"Sir, this... This is just an ordinary ice cellar!" the servant tried to make his voice sound less shaking, and hurriedly said: "this ice cellar is familiar to villains - it's better for villains to go down and catch people and give them to adults for punishment! It's also a remedy!"

The conductor frowned.

The person who just tried to obstruct is suddenly so positive now?

Besides - ice cellar?

If it is really just an ice cellar, where is it necessary to set up such a secret mechanism?

The discussion enthusiasm and curiosity of the people behind him rose again.

"Who will dig an ice cellar in the south of Chaoyang? Who believes it? We are fools!"

"How can serious people have such strange mechanisms..."

"There may be something shady hidden in the head finger here!"

The conductor looked at the servant.

Such exquisite mechanism skills are not available to ordinary people

The servant's attitude when he mentioned his master was also very strange.

If you are careless, you may offend a noble person who can't afford to offend.

The commander was thinking in secret. He heard a man's scream from behind the bookshelf.

The people suddenly became restless.

"See what this is!"

"Looks like there's something here!"

The commander pressed down the confused speculation and ordered several capable subordinates: "you go down and have a look!"

The people are watching, and there are a lot of dignitaries in the herring workshop. There is no reason to step back at this time. Instead of thinking about so many things that are not, it's better to do your own job to avoid being talked about.

As for others——

He just acts according to the rules. If something goes wrong, whoever does it will clean it up. Then he won't care much!

The servant was so frightened that a cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

Soon a soldier official came out of the secret room quickly, his face changed indefinitely, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The commander shook his face.

The onlookers were so anxious that they guessed one after another.

——The official didn't say it. Who's greedy!

Seeing this, the servant had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and his eyes implied: "my Lord, I have two words to explain to my lord..."

Seeing that this matter could not be completely concealed, he could only hope to explain the childe's identity with the other party, so that the other party was afraid to make it clear in public, and try to reduce the impact of the situation.

The conductor hesitated for a moment.

He has an intuition that once he listens to each other, he can only cover up the matter.

But the woman in the secret room

He is not a cold-blooded man, but he wants to survive in the bottom officialdom. He has no choice.

When he was struggling in his heart, he suddenly heard a voice from the study.

"It's a woman! There's a woman locked in the head here. She's beaten to death... And locked in a cage!"

The little thief stumbled out and shouted loudly as he ran.

"..." the commander made his eyelids jump wildly and looked at the two subordinates who followed.

The two officials looked complicated.

At first, they clearly controlled the thief, but who knows that the seemingly scared and soft thief is like a loach. They don't slip their hands. They are not careful, and the other party somehow escaped from them

At this time, he didn't run away, but fell down and sat in front of the study. His face was pale and said, "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death..."

It is like a huge wave on the restless river.

"Did you hear that? There's a woman hiding here! I don't know which girl is so pathetic!"

The women who had spoken most happily before looked frightened.

They are really right... There are really shady activities!

Originally, I just came to see the excitement of catching thieves, but I didn't want to see it and get one free?!

The conductor gave his last look at the pale servant.

It's not that he doesn't know how to change things, but that the other party's luck is too bad, or maybe he has done too much evil, and God can't see it.

He turned and looked at one of his men: "go to the Beijing yamen quickly and report the matter to Lord Ji."

Anyway, the internal yamen always likes to take the credit of their army and horse department. He will be generous and have a good personal relationship today.

And their military and horse department only knows about patrol and arrest. When it comes to dealing with such complex cases, Beijing yamen must be better at it.

Hearing this, Yin Jidong of the Beijing government immediately sent an official to check and take over.

When the official arrived, the whole herring shop was almost surrounded. More and more people who heard the news came to see the excitement.

The crowd, which seemed to be too crowded to hold even one person, saw that the people of the government came and could make a way together.

Some officers went into other hospitals, while others began to disperse the onlookers.

The common people dispersed in an appearance, but they didn't want to go far at all. Some hid in the alley, and some even quietly climbed up the wall - the excitement in front of them is like the fat meat on their lips. Who can do it and turn around and go?

"Look, look, people have been carried out!"
