Nie Xiaoman looked at the wrapped black cloth repeatedly, and said, "This is a thief's thing, although it is not marked, the servants must be able to identify it." There are still two pieces of evidence that can be made public. He looked at Pang Shangjiu and said, "Please take off his leather robe for the time being." ”

Pang Shangjiu took off Feng Yunqi's leather robe according to Nie Xiaoman's orders, with the assistance of another catcher.

Nie Xiaoman pointed to one place and said to Li Wenchang: "Please look at his black silk jacket, there are gray stains on the placket!" This ash is the ash on the flagpole in front of the temple. When he went to hide the stolen goods, he took off the outer leather robe, climbed up and down on the wood, so that the placket was stained with a lot of dust, although he rubbed ~ wiped, but the dust entered the lines of the front of the silk jacket, and it was not easy to shoot it all off, he did not understand at first, now please look at the dust, which I scraped off the wood yesterday, compared with the two, exactly the same. At the same time I obtained a black silk from the wood, which had been hooked off his short jacket. Looking at these two pieces of evidence, you should believe that I am not talking empty words and making something out of nothing? ”

After speaking, Xiao Man took out two white paper bags from his inner pocket. Dust and black silk are displayed. Li Wenchang and Pang Shangjiu saw it, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised and praised again and again.

Nie Xiaoman continued: "At first, the thief thought that leaving the stolen goods in the wooden bucket and making others suspect that it was a trick played by "inserting the sky and flying", and thought that it was a foolproof plan. So he changed his plan and falsely accused the gardener. Now that he had withdrawn from the chief's errand, he offered to go to Yangzhou to arrest the thief, so he could take the opportunity to get out and prepare to take out the stolen goods this evening. After three or four days, he will be able to go home safely, make a false report, and deduce that he will not be able to catch the thief, of course the loyal people of the world will not be confused, and Feng Yunqi has absolutely no responsibility, and the design and calculation are so detailed and thoughtful, it can be said that there is no second person. ”

When Li Wenchang heard this, he sighed sadly: "Alas, people's hearts are unpredictable to this point, this person has been at home for many years, there is no fault, I treat him well, I can't imagine that there is such an ending today, I don't dare to trust anyone in the future." ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "I think the world brother has also been an official for many years and has a wide range of knowledge, why do you see it so narrowly? I have heard that in ancient times, the people of Yan Zhao have always been gentle, but now it is the complete opposite, the general atmosphere of the Kyoto city, there is a lot of etiquette and most of them hypocrisy, everyone tends to be exaggerated, and the people are also accustomed to deceit and cunning. I once heard from a friend that it was difficult for the servants in the capital to be dispatched, and these people were docile on the surface but sinister in their hearts, and they often deliberately used cunning to deceive their masters first, and once they gained the trust of their masters, they would do anything wrong. Now observing Feng Yunqi's scheming, of course, there are his intentions, assuming that he is lucky this time, of course you will still regard him as a confidant. Just look at the look on your face that protected him just now, and you can see it. You say, did he play with you? ”

Nie Xiaoman spoke vigorously, Pang Shangjiu could hear it, although he grabbed the prisoner with his hand, he did not lock him. At this moment, Feng Yunqi suddenly broke free of Pang Shangjiu's hand, pulled out a short dagger from his waist and quickly rushed towards Nie Xiaoman, like a mad wolf.

His movements were agile, the situation was really dangerous at that time, if Nie Xiaoman was defenseless at this time, he would definitely be hurt. Fortunately, Nie Xiaoman was still agile, and he dodged, and at the same time, Jing Mo's eyes were quick, and he slammed the dagger with his fist, and the dagger did not stab Xiaoman's body, but Xiaoman's wrist was hurt a little, Nie Xiaoman was furious, and kicked it hard with his foot, hitting Feng Yunqi's buttocks, almost knocking him down, Feng Yunqi also wanted to raise his arm to fight back, Pang Shangjiu and Wenchang called at the same time. Jing Mo was also furious, and slammed Feng Yunqi's head from behind.

Feng Yunqi received a full blow from Su Jingmo on the head, hitting him with a golden star, seven meat and eight vegetarians, paused slightly, Nie Xiaoman took the opportunity to take the dagger in Feng Yunqi's hand, threw it in the corner of the main hall, and then kicked him hard in the chest, Jingmo also punched it, and finally Feng Yunqi fell to the ground.

At this time, the two onlookers saw the thief fall to the ground, the dagger was lost, and there was no danger, so they rushed forward to capture Feng Yunqi.

Pang Shangjiu shrank and walked to the front and said, "Is the adult seriously injured?" It's all my sin, my sin! ”

Su Jingmo saw that the blood on Xiao Man's arm was flowing endlessly, and immediately took out a handkerchief and bandaged it himself.

Nie Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The injury is not bad, I locked this guy with a chain and sent it to the yamen, now the evidence is complete, and the crime of theft can be convicted." ”

Pang Shangjiu promised: "The adults will rest, and the little ones will go, and this guy will definitely suffer some flesh and skin." ”

Nie Xiaoman was injured by the thief, but in fact, his wrist was very bad, so he went to the hospital for treatment. Lang Zhong thought that the bleeding was too much, and he had to stay in bed for two days, so he prescribed medicine and went back to the hungry cat to rest in bed. Who knew that Xiaoman had a high fever that night, Jingmo was very anxious and had no sleep all night.

By the next day, the heat had subsided a bit, but his sanity was still unclear. When Li Wenchang and Pang Shangjiu came to visit him in Maozhai, Xiaoman was still asleep. When Li Wenchang and his son came to visit again on the third day, Xiaoman's heat had subsided, and his spirit was much better than the previous two days, but his body was still weak and weak, and he could only recuperate in bed. In the evening, Pang Shangjiu came to visit again and brought some simple gifts.

Pang Shangjiu said to Nie Xiaoman: "The adult cracked this case, and the little one was lucky enough to be rewarded by the boss, which is really thanks to the adult." The little one didn't dare to take credit for himself, and he had already reported the truth to Shangguan, who deeply admired the master's magic skills and strategies, and instructed the little one to convey his respect. If there is anything in the future, you should also ask the borrower. Today, all the yamen in Jinling are preaching the wisdom of the adults, which is unparalleled in the world! ”

Pang Shangjiu said: "The small one has been in the public for a long time, but the whole process of this case can be regarded as complicated. The main culprit is very well arranged, it is difficult to guess, I don't know where the adults focus on it, before finding the main culprit? The details must be very interesting. If you can give advice and broaden your knowledge, you will be very grateful! ”

Nie Xiaoman then promised to wait for his wounds to heal, and then explain and analyze the case to him. Of course, Jing Mo was also very happy on the side, hoping that Xiaoman could recover as soon as possible and could know the details of all the cases. In fact, Jing Mo can be said to be more anxious than Pang Shangjiu, if it weren't for Nie Xiaoman's injury, he would have asked for it a long time ago.

On the morning of the fifth day, Nie Xiaoman's wounds healed and his health basically recovered, Jing Mo of course couldn't endure it any longer, and without waiting for Pang Shangjiu to come to his house, he first began to instigate Xiaoman and tell the whole case. Nie Xiaoman saw that this old friend who had worked hard for him for many days had to agree, so he told the case in an orderly manner.
