Lin Sui'an had a hard time holding back his laughter.
The magistrate of Song County and other officials probably regarded Shiro Hua as their savior, and they complained so sincerely.
Wang Yuanwai: "Tell me, is this thief full of food? Why did he steal my chamber pot?"
Member Kong said: "It's just a chamber pot. At least it's something for people to use. I'm confused. Why do you want to steal my Dahuang's job?"
Hua Yitang: "May I ask who Rhubarb is?"
Member Kong: "My dog."
Hua Yitang silently put his fan against his forehead.
Jin Ruo covered his face, curled up his neck, his belly trembled wildly, and a few pieces of sugar cake crumbs spewed out from his mouth from time to time. At that moment, his shoulders shook so much that he could no longer hold the tea cup.
Member Li touched his bare forehead with a sad expression. He had the same impressive hairline as Chen Fanfan, "The thief stole my wig bag..."
Zhang Yuanwai: "A ham was lost in my kitchen."
County Magistrate Song banged the table angrily, "Hua Silang, please comment, do the thieves do this and take our government seriously?"
Hua Yitang took a long breath and forced out a dry business smile, "Hua has a question. This thief said in the notice on the note that what he wants to steal is what you value most——"
Wang Yuanwai: "I have been using that chamber pot for twenty years, and I am used to it. Without that chamber pot, I...I can't get out of the toilet...if I go to the toilet!"
Member Kong said: "My Dahuang has been with me for twelve years and is my closest family member! Stealing Dahuang's job means stealing my job!"
Li Yuanwai: "The wig bag was made by me from Dongdu. It is the only one in the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhang Yuanwai: "My ham is five years old. The meat is crystal clear, like crystal. Without this ham condiment, I can't even eat."
Member Lu said: "... Lu likes to embroider, and my wife's underwear... hehe, they are all embroidered by Lu herself..."
Hua Yitang's smile was like a piece of burnt biscuit sticking to his face. The corner of his mouth moved, and a lot of embarrassment fell. "So, this snitch does have some taste."
Jin Ruo and Fang Ke: "Pfft——"
Lin Sui'an's large and small intestines were about to be knotted, so he quickly changed the topic, "I wonder... uh, what did this field member throw away?"
Tian Yuanwai is about fifty years old, with gray hair, a thin figure, and very crowded facial features. He is the only one among everyone who has not complained. After entering the main hall, he has been a little absent-minded. It seems that his attention is attracted by the ornaments in the flower house. .
To be honest, compared with the flower houses in Yangdu, Dongdu, and Yidu, the decorations of this small courtyard in Yicheng are extremely low-key. Except for the more unique Taishi chairs and high tables, there are only a few A green porcelain vase matches the scenery in the garden.
When asked by Lin Sui'an, Tian Yuanwai came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly and said, "I lost an old water bag, nothing special."
Jin Ruo: "Is it possible that you can't drink water without the water bag?"
"It's just that it doesn't go well." Tian Yuanwai glanced at the porcelain vase again, "May I ask Huajia Shiro, are the Yue kiln porcelain displayed in this hall?"
Hua Yitang: "The field member has a good eye. It is indeed produced by Shanglin Lake Yue Kiln."
Tian Yuanwai: "Sure enough, sure enough! Look at the delicate quality of the body, smooth glaze, and green as ice. It is worthy of the name of 'Nine Autumn Winds and Dew, Thousands of Peaks Green'." "
Hua Yitang's eyes flashed, "I didn't expect that Tian Yuan also has a lot of research on porcelain."
"It's just a small hobby, not worth mentioning." Tian Yuan waved his hands, thought for a while, and then said, "There is just something that is not worth saying—"
"It doesn't matter if the field members are outside."
"These Yue kiln porcelains in the hall are all of the highest quality and are worth hundreds of gold. Isn't it a bit too ostentatious to display them in front of the public like this?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped at the same time, and their eyes when looking at the porcelain bottle suddenly changed.
Hua Yitang smiled, "Tian Yuan said this wrongly. Firstly, these porcelain vases are just decorations. If they are not displayed for people to see, what is their use? Secondly, the porcelain vases in the hall are not of the highest quality; Secret-color porcelain was originally used by the royal family, but the style of this batch was not novel enough, so it was reserved for the Hua family's own use. It is priceless in the market, and only a hundred gold coins are enough to buy a porcelain bottle bottom."
There was dead silence.
Everyone was shocked. Although everyone knew that Yang Duhua was rich, they didn't expect to be so rich!
Jin Ruo: "Just a few green broken bottles, so expensive?!"
Lin Sui'an: "We must walk around these bottles when we see them in the future. We can't afford to pay compensation if we bump them."
"What Master said is true!"
County Magistrate Song couldn't stand listening anymore, "Hua Silang, don't blame Song for worrying so blindly. As the saying goes, don't show off your wealth. If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being remembered. Our county has not been peaceful recently, so why don't we put these things first?" Keep the treasure away, it’s not too late to show it out after catching the snitch!”
Hua Yitang flicked open his fan, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If the snitch dares to come, Hua will be able to capture him in one fell swoop and eliminate this harm for Yicheng!"
As soon as these words came out, Magistrate Song and several other officials were overjoyed. They all stood up and clasped their fists and shouted, "Huasi Lang is so righteous, let me thank the people of Yicheng first!"
After seeing off the Yicheng County magistrates, everyone returned to the main hall for a brief review and analysis.
"It wasn't Yun Zhongyue's guy who did it." Jin Ruodao, "He is also the best thief in the world after all. He will never steal these random things, such as ham chamber pots and all this mess. And even if he has to write a letter, Yun Zhong Yue also only uses one font, which is wooden script, in order to hide his handwriting and identity."
Fang Ke: "The characters on the flower paper are light and frivolous, and the structure is scattered. I'm afraid the person who wrote them didn't read much and didn't have much time to practice calligraphy."
Hua Yitang: "The most important thing is that the tenth day of October is the succession ceremony for the head of the Su family. Yun Zhongyue also had a fight with Lin Sui'an on that day. Yicheng is only five days away from Yidu, and Yun Zhongyue has no chance at all. Crime time.”
To sum up, Yicheng's "Yun Zhongyue" is a fake.
Lin Sui'an sighed, "Yun Zhongyue's bad habit of refusing to show his true colors should really be changed. Any cat or dog can pretend to be his name and deceive others. If this continues, wouldn't it be possible for thieves all over the world to cheat? Does the blame fall on him?"
Jin Ruo looked a little helpless, "Yun Zhongyue has been out for decades, and there are only two people in the world who dare to use Yun Zhongyue's name to bluff people. One is a thief named Yan Shiba, who was quite famous in the world back then. Because he pretended to be Yun Zhongyue once, his house was stolen three days later. Not to mention the gold and silver treasures, all the clothes, quilts, tables and cases were gone. Even the house was demolished. It is said that it was found that When Yan Shiba was a child, he was lying naked on the ground, not even a pair of underwear was left. From then on, Yan Shiba was shameless and re-entered the world. From then on, he washed his hands in a golden basin and disappeared."
Lin Sui'an: "...Is there another person?"
Jin Ruo: "There is another one, Master!"
"..."
Hua Yitang burst out laughing.
Jin Ruo: "Master, you are an expert and bold. Yun Zhongyue can't beat you, so naturally there is nothing you can do. Looking at the world now, no one dares to touch Yun Zhongyue's bad luck."
"Who said that? Another one just showed up." Hua Yitang said with a smile.
Jin Ruo snorted, "This thief is either a novice who is just starting out, or he is a low-level guy who can't get on the stage. He has no idea how difficult Yun Zhongyue is."
Hua Yitang flapped her small fan, "Perhaps he is also a folk hero who is skilled in art and bold. For example, he couldn't stand what Yun Zhongyue did, so he planned to use his body to lure the tiger and eliminate harm for the people-"
Just as he was talking, Qinglong hurried in and handed over an envelope, "I just found it at the gate."
Everyone was stunned when they saw a few words crookedly written on the envelope:
[In person from Hanaka Shiro]
The font...well, it looks quite familiar.
Hua Yitang grabbed the envelope, tore it open, and pulled out a piece of paper with plum blossoms on it.
[October 30th, the third quarter of the twelfth lunar month, the most precious thing in your house. 】
Silence fell.
Fang Ke turned his head and let out a laugh.
Veins popped out in Hua Yitang's hand holding Hua Jian, "Oh shit! What a despicable, shameless, lawless and rampant little thief! How dare you challenge me, Huajia Shilang! I'm going to show you today what it means to act like a mantis with its arms like a car. To shake a tree and hit a stone with an egg is to overestimate your ability!" He raised his robe, raised his legs, stepped on the chair, and raised his voice, "Here comes——"
Mu Xia, Yita, the Four Saints and a group of guardians rushed in, "What are your orders, Shiro?"
Hua Yitang frowned angrily, "Tonight the Hua family is going to fight to the death with the Yicheng Snitch. You all, listen to my order and set up a dragnet. Not even a mosquito can be let out!"
"Yes! Shiro!"
"The first step is to quickly take away the most precious... uh... precious... thing in the family?"
Hua Yitang was stuck and looked at each other in confusion.
Fang Ke said quietly: "What is the most precious thing in Huazhai?"
"It's those bottles from the kiln!" Jin Ruo jumped to his feet, "White Tiger Xuanwu, follow me and wrap up all the porcelain in the house and hide it!"
Ita was shocked, "The most precious thing is Shiro's clothes. They are expensive and expensive, and the incense is also expensive. Qinglong Suzaku, collect the clothes!"
The six people divided into two groups and ran out in front and back.
Fang Ke's expression changed slightly, "There is a glass vat in my room -" and he hurried away.
Mu Xia was so anxious that she was spinning around, "What else is there? What else is missing?"
In the chaos, Hua Yitang looked at Lin Sui'an blankly. Lin Sui'an was confused, "Why are you staring at me?"
Hua Yitang: "The most precious thing...isn't it the items... but -"
"It's a human!" Mu Xia suddenly shouted, "The most precious thing in our flower house must be Shiro! This thief must kidnap Shiro! Madam Lin, you must protect Shiro's safety tonight, and you must not leave Half Step, yes, yes, go to Shiro’s room now, walk around, hurry, hurry, hurry—"
Lin Sui'an: "Eh?"
Eh? ?
Eh? ? ?
What's this all about...
Lin Sui'an thought dumbfounded.
Mu Xia locked her and Hua Yitang in the wing room. More than 20 guards were stationed in front and back of the house. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. Mu Xia personally wore armor and sat at the front door. No one was allowed to enter or exit. Mu Xia personally delivered dinner and even tried poison. Qian Dingzhuwan told them to stay in the house all night.
This time, I stayed until the top of the willow tree on the moon.
"You're not so nervous, right?" Lin Sui'an sighed, turned to Hua Yitang, and couldn't help but be startled, "Are you—very nervous?"
"No. Not nervous." Hua Yitang said.
Lin Sui'an raised his eyebrows.
Hua Yitang sat upright, with his back at least half a foot away from the backrest, his hands on his knees, his thighs and calves at a standard ninety degrees, his chin slightly raised, looking straight ahead, which was completely different from his usual crooked sitting posture. Sweat even broke out on his forehead.
Lin Sui'an laughed, "You're sweating."
"Ahem, this room is a bit small, stuffy and hot." Hua Yitang said.
The house is small?
Lin Sui'an looked around. This was Hua's wing, with an area of at least 300 square meters. It was also a presidential suite. Not to mention anything else, the luxurious bed inside could accommodate at least four people. There were two people placed beside the bed. A large incense burner, with wisps of incense lingering like silk.
Lin Sui'an sensed something was wrong and quickly looked away, just in time to catch Hua Yitang's gaze. Hua Yitang lowered his eyelids as if he was electrocuted, his eyelashes were trembling, his Adam's apple was rolling, and his breathing was a little messed up.
It's really hot in this room. Lin Sui'an fanned himself with his hand.
Hua Yitang wiped his palms on his knees, poured a cup of tea for Lin Sui'an, and carefully pushed it in front of Lin Sui'an, "Drink tea."
Lin Sui'an just felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, so he drank it all in one gulp. Hua Yitang poured another glass, but Lin Sui'an didn't dare to drink anymore. Why did he become thirstier as he drank?
Lin Sui'an: "This tea——"
No problem?
Hua Yitang poured another cup of water and brought it over, "The water is cold and the tea is not brewed yet. Drink water."
...Maybe she is overthinking.
Lin Sui'an picked up the water and squinted at the young man in front of him.
There was only one lamp lit in the room, and the remaining light sources were all large and small night pearls. I don’t know how Mu Xia arranged them. Every ray of light was just right, hazy like yarn, slow like mist, and Hua Yitang happened to be sitting there. In the center of the beam, she is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with long legs and waist, and her eyes are clear and passionate. She is really a mess of flowers, lust, and charming eyes. When she returns, she will not be lost.
It’s broken, could it be incense——
Lin Sui'an heard his own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump thump thump - suddenly, Hua Yitang looked over - Lin Sui'an's heartbeat missed half a beat!
She suddenly understood that it wasn't about the fragrance, it was about the person in front of her!
He didn't know what Hua Yitang saw on her face. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled again. In an instant, the spring | light | beauty | beauty, the glow is brilliant.
Lin Sui'an felt his cheeks burning, "Why are you laughing?!"
Hua Yitang chuckled and shook his head, picked up the fan on the tea table, and shook it slowly towards Lin Sui'an, "You're sweating."
Lin Sui'an's forehead jumped slightly, he grabbed the fan and shook it quickly. Hua Yitang laughed softly, pulled up his sleeves and got a new cup of tea for Lin Sui'an.
"No more!" Lin Sui'an said, "It's not convenient when it's convenient to drink too much."
Hua Yitang's hand shook, and the tea spilled over half of his sleeve. He wiped it hurriedly, and the more he wiped, the messier it became.
This time it was Lin Sui'an's turn to laugh at him.
Hua Yitang's ears were slightly red, and she took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the water stains on her sleeves. After wiping, she changed another handkerchief and continued wiping.
Lin Sui'an tilted his head and looked at Hua Yitang's movements, and a doubt arose in his heart.
Before, she always thought that Hua Yitang liked fancy clothes and incense because of her nature | she loves to be smug, but recently she discovered more and more that Hua Yitang's particularity in clothes, accessories and incense was almost paranoid. For example, now, she can It was obvious that Hua Yitang was restless because of his half-wet sleeves.
"If you really feel uncomfortable, go to the inner room and change into another one." Lin Sui'an said.
Hua Yitang stopped and put away the veil, "It doesn't matter."
Having said that, he carefully hid his sleeves under the table.
"You..." Lin Sui'an finished speaking, thought for a while, and changed the topic, "Actually, Mu Xia doesn't have to be so intimidated. Even if Yun Zhongyue really comes, she can't defeat me. "
Hua Yitang didn't speak, just looked at Lin Sui'an quietly for a long time, sighed slightly, and said, "Mu Xia reacted so violently because I was kidnapped and sold to a brothel when I was a child."
small theater
Mu Xia pressed her ears against the door panel and secretly clenched her fists:
The right time, place and people, plus fifty night-light pearls to enhance the atmosphere, plus the "soul|soul|fragrance that is sold day and night", tonight is definitely a success! Shiro, come on! :,,
