It seems that the man in the black coat is a clean person and is afraid of being deceived by the enthusiastic people he meets on the road.
Hao Hejiu did his best, without thinking, he raised the kettle, raised his neck, and drank more than half of it in one go.
After drinking, he noticed Mei Xing out of the corner of his eye and looked at him eagerly. He was embarrassed, put down the kettle, handed it to Mei Xing and said, "Sorry, there's more, there's more!"
The waiter Mei Xing took the kettle, thanked him, and drank it down. The man in the black coat smiled and said: "Drink slowly, don't choke, hahaha!"
This seemingly caring sentence made Hao Hejiu immediately suspicious, especially the laughter behind it, which made people question the safety of the water. Although he drank a pot of water, it would be fine if nothing happened, and everything would be fine if nothing happened.
Just like the man in the black coat was fine after drinking it, I guess he would be fine too after drinking it.
With this thought in mind, he dispelled his doubts.
"Hahaha, fall, fall, fall!" the man in the black coat said with a smile.
When Hao Hejiu heard this, he felt something was wrong. He was about to get up, but couldn't move. He just felt dizzy, weak and soft as mud. He fell to the ground and couldn't move. He was still thinking about those silks and satins, and he felt a blur in front of him.
Black, I don’t know anything anymore.
Mei Xing, too, watched helplessly as the man in the black coat snatched the kettle, then went to the silk and satin place, loaded the silk and satin on the horse's back, rode a horse, led a horse, led the horse away, and the goods followed.
Mei Xing was about to shout, but felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't make a sound. Just when he was about to chase him, he found that his legs and feet didn't seem to be his own and refused to obey his orders. He watched helplessly as he walked away in a big way.
After a while, the sun had set to the west. Hao Hejiu slowly woke up and found Mei Xing sitting there crying.
"Did you drink?"
"Drink."
"Asleep?"
"Well, sleep, master!"
"Hey - this is bad luck! I have been cautious all my life, but I didn't expect that a person who seemed to be honest and honest actually harmed us! It's so annoying! As long as we catch him, we will cut him to pieces
No!" Hao He said bitterly for a long time.
"Master, what should we do?" Mei Xing asked.
"The problem is his hands, have you noticed? He drank it and was fine. Later he wiped the mouth of the pot with his hand and we drank. I am older and fainted first after drinking. You are younger and fainted later.
It's better to wake up first, or maybe I drank more of the Mongolian sweat medicine and you drank less. In short, they all drank the Mongolian sweat medicine and he didn't drink it. Be careful in the future and you must not drink from strangers outside. Remember this!" Hao Hejiu said!
.
"Yes. Master, you will never drink other people's food randomly in the future. No matter how good the food is, you can't touch it. This hole is dug so perfectly that it's easy to fall into it if you're not careful." Mei Xing said.
Mei Xing spoke freely, and Hao Hejiu appreciated what he said very much. This little guy has grown up so fast! It seems that he still has to go out and wander around frequently to have a good memory.
Gain wisdom.
Hao Hejiu quickly thought of reporting it to the police. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to get the remaining fees, but he would also have to pay compensation. This was clearly stated in the contract. If he encountered a bandit, he could use force majeure as a defense and still be able to recover some money.
At least you don’t have to compensate for the loss, but you won’t have to pay the remaining expenses.
After thinking this way, he figured it out and suddenly realized that in order to solve the problem, he must find the key to the problem. Once found, it will be solved.
Having made a decision, the master and apprentice entered the city empty-handed, and happened to meet Tang Lu.
Why is Tang Lu here?
He came to visit a friend. The friend had already sent him a letter, asking him to come during his free time in autumn and winter. At that time, there were no mosquitoes, or if there were, they would not be able to roam around for a few days. Like those grasshoppers and mosquitoes, there were no mosquitoes in the midsummer.
It’s awesome. We’re almost done. It’s the best time to go to Mongolia. You won’t get bitten by mosquitoes. Instead, you’ll see fat cows, horses and sheep. It’s the right time to eat meat.
He came to play and met Master and Disciple Hao Hejiu on the street.
Mei Xing's eyes were sharp and he immediately saw Tang Lu and shouted loudly: "Master, Master!"
Tang Lu looked back and saw that it was Hao Hejiu and Mei Xing.
Because Tang Lu often went to the Changsheng Escort Bureau to investigate cases, learned about the cases, and was very familiar with the people inside. By chance, he would always meet Master and Disciple Hao Hejiu in nine out of ten cases, as if God had already arranged it.
Tang Lu felt very cordial when he heard that there were people from Xiangyang in Mongolia. He asked: "Why did you come here empty-handed?"
"Take a step to speak!" Hao Hejiu said.
Tang Lu understood immediately. They saw a Mongolian friend named Amul who was with Tang Lu. Amul warmly invited them to drink milk tea.
Hao Hejiu was not interested in this milk tea because he was afraid when it came to drinking something. This time he saw Lawyer Tang. Although he was not afraid, he was bitten by a snake one year and was afraid of well ropes ten years ago.
Much bigger concerns.
"This time, we originally brought goods, a batch of silk and satin, and our carry-on luggage. Who knew that we met a liar on the way, who cheated and abducted us, and swept away our property?
While we were asleep, everything was stolen," Hao Hejiu said.
"So it turns out that this thief really loves cleanliness. He took away a lot of your things and left you with your clothes. He is worthy of you." Tang Luyan said.
"I'm particularly angry. A seemingly honest and honest person turned out to be so ruthless! He didn't even leave any of it so that we could explain to the client. Now there are no people inside and outside, and things are gone. Not only their goods have been given to
The whole thing is gone, and my luggage is also gone, which is unbearable. Master, if I can catch him, I would like to ask, aren't you afraid of being alone? Why don't you think of a way out? "
Hao Hejiu said.
"The key now is to catch him. Do you remember what he looks like? By the way, Mei Xing, you can also add, the more detailed the better." Tang Lu asked.
"He has a black beard and a few white hairs. He is wearing a black jacket. There is no case filed and no one wants it. He is wearing blue trousers." Hao He said for a long time.
"Hmm, I guess he's a veteran. So, Amul, where do your thieves like to live?" Tang Lu asked.
"My friends, Tang Lu, they all like to live in the wilderness, or in caves, just like eagles, living in the wilderness and high places, and don't like to live at home. Occasionally they go home to see their parents," Amul said.
.
"In other words, they all like freedom, are very good to their parents, and have deep feelings for them?" Tang Lu asked.
"Yes, eagles are kind to their parents. Although thieves are bandits, thieves also have their own ways. They are very gentle, considerate and love their parents and lovers very much. Of course, they in turn,
Even if thieves are gangsters in people's hearts and hated by everyone, they are the best to their parents and lovers. There will never be such a good person in the world," Amul said.
"I understand. Let's do this!"
"What should I do?" Hao Hejiu asked.
"That's it. Let's drink tea first. After drinking, we go to the local magistrate and there will be a solution. This magistrate is also from Xiangyang. He is the main person in charge here, and his deputy is a local. Are you close or not? He is from his hometown. How much?
He will provide some help, so let's go to him and see if it works," Tang Lu said.
"As long as the master comes forward, it will be done, then I will be relieved." Hao Hejiu said.
Hao Hejiu was indeed relieved, because Tang Lu had a great reputation and was very capable. His ideas were usually effective and rarely failed. Recovering the lost silks seemed very difficult. There were no witnesses and no other clues could be found.
, the thief comes and goes without a trace, has no fixed place, and is impossible to find. Where does Tang Lu start from this time? It is a big test. This is difficult for the escort, but not difficult for Tang Lu.
.
"The city lord is from Xiangyang." Amul said.
"Really?" Tang Lu asked.
"Yes, he was sent by the imperial court and was a student of King Pingxi. He was arranged here. You can check it out." Amul said.
"Then you can report the crime in the name of a fellow villager." Tang Lu said.
"He is an upright person. Regardless of whether he is a fellow villager or not, he treats everyone equally. Especially in a place like this. He and his deputies are very dedicated. They treat everyone equally, do not intensify conflicts, and do not condone crimes." Amu
I said.
"Then don't wait, just go directly. Go, go, go!" Hao Hejiu urged.
"Master, don't worry first, let's see what the master said." Mei Xing said.
"Yes, yes, Master, I will do whatever you say, I will listen to you!" Hao Hejiu said.
"Then finish the milk tea first. This is the kindness of my friend Amul. Please don't be polite and don't waste it. The milk tea here is authentic and much better than the milk tea in other places. The best milk tea in the world.
Right here." Tang Lu said.
"Okay, thank you Amul. Welcome Amul to Xiangyang. When you arrive in Xiangyang, I'll treat you to Xiangyang's beef noodles and Xiangyang's rice wine. They are both the best in the world." Hao Hejiu said.
"That said, I really want to go, but there are too many things going on here. I'll go when I have some free time," Amul said.
"As long as you go, it doesn't matter whether you eat well, drink well or be in good health. Going to the Central Plains is very different from here." Hao Hejiu said.
"It depends on the situation first. I also want to go, but everyone is very busy." Amul said.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Tang Lu said.
"Why?"
"People always have to give up something, but freedom cannot be given up. Otherwise, you will not be happy and there will be no happiness at all." Tang Lu said.
"Yes, the eagle soars freely. It can fly high, see far, and live freely and freely. We should all be like it, flying freely and without restraint." Amul said.
"Yes, the eagle on the grassland is a hero. Everyone aspires to be a hero, because only heroes can live a unique life." Tang Lu said.
"People here are different from people in the Central Plains. We don't want to live in one place for the rest of our lives. That's not free. We are willing to move frequently. Only migration can bring us happiness," Amul said.
"Yes! People's lifestyles are different in different places. Let's solve the current problem first. Let's go and report to the official." Tang Luyan said.
A group of people arrived at the government office, met with the general manager, and explained the situation. The general manager was indeed from Xiangyang, and his accent was iconic. Tang Lu, Hao Hejiu and Mei Xing could all recognize it, but Amul could not.
When the manager heard this, he thought, isn't he from Xiangyang?
Everything was probably figured out. The manager saw that Tang Lu was very familiar with the lawsuit and knew his identity. Plus Amul was present, so he knew what was going on.
The manager said to Tang Lu: "Please take a moment to speak."
Tang Lu nodded, and the two of them went to the backyard. There was a pavilion in the backyard. There were stone tables and benches in the pavilion with chess grids on it.
It seems that the manager likes to play chess in his spare time while handling cases. This pavilion is the pavilion where he plays chess. I don’t know who his chess friends are.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?" Tang Lu asked.
"I don't dare to give instructions, I'm just asking for advice." The supervisor said, coughing twice, it was a dry cough, like clearing the throat. The air in Xiangyang is humid, and there is green everywhere, but here it is the opposite. It is relatively dry, which may cause some damage to the throat. He continued
explain:
"It's like this. This case is very difficult to solve. It's in the wilderness, uninhabited, there are no witnesses, no clues, nothing. How can we find the thief? I'm afraid he has already moved away. You know, this place is not like Xiangyang, it is too big
The key is that there are few people and the information is not well-informed."
"This case is very simple. Sir, we know the criminal's physical characteristics and his clothing, right?" Tang Lu asked.
"Yes, I'm wearing a black jacket and blue trousers. It's a typical local outfit. There's nothing special about it!" asked the supervisor.
"What else?"
"And a big black horse."
"right!"
"Generally speaking, who are the people riding the black horse?" Tang Lu asked.
"He is a villain. In other words, a black horse is also a black whirlwind. Robbers like to ride black horses because the horses are black when it is dark, so they can easily escape from the scene after committing crimes. The horses are white, so they are more conspicuous. Generally, they are black horses.
There are also yellow geldings. If there is really no dark horse, just ride the yellow gelding." said the supervisor.
"That's it. There are not many such people. If you can do this, you will catch him." Tang Lu said, and then whispered a few words in the supervisor's ear. When the supervisor heard this, he smiled and nodded.
He gave Tang Lu a thumbs up and said: "High, really high! This is a good idea. It will definitely succeed!"
When they came back, the supervisor arranged for people to go down to the city and suburbs, as well as nearby towns and villages, and announced that a male body was found in the east of the city. Anyone with information was asked to come and claim it. He was wearing a black coat on the upper body and a black coat on the lower body.
Blue trousers, riding a big black horse. The horse is still there, but the person was killed by bad guys. Please claim it as soon as possible. If no one claims it within three days, it will be treated as an ownerless body.
On the second day after the news was released, an old couple hurried to the government office. Both of them were covered with tears. They knelt down when they met the supervisor and claimed to be the family members of the deceased. They came to claim the body and said that the deceased was
their son.
The supervisor had already sent someone to notify Tang Lu and others to arrive. When they saw the two old people, Tang Lu didn't say anything. The supervisor asked: "What does your son do?"
"Sir, our son is in business."
"What business?"
"Whatever business makes money, just do it."
When the supervisor heard this, he immediately understood.
