Zhiniao responds to the truth,

"The people in the government are searching everywhere and arresting suspicious people everywhere, but the Japanese pirates and ronin are too skilled. How can ordinary yamen runners be caught? Now the government is issuing a notice to collect talented people from the world, civilian towns, servants and the guards, etc., saying that as long as they catch people, they will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver!"

"Added five thousand taels of silver?"

Wu Xinan's heart moved when he heard this.

"Did you say you can catch Japanese pirates for five thousand taels of silver, one or two?"

Zhiniao nodded, stretched out a finger and compared the word "one".

"One Japanese pirate is five thousand taels, two are ten thousand taels..."

Wu Xinan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, his eyes shining brightly.

"Then... wouldn't I get the five thousand taels of silver if I go to catch the Japanese pirates? No... it can be ten thousand taels... twenty thousand taels of silver!"

Wouldn't it be developed if you catch ten or eight Japanese pirates?

Zhiniao immediately turned from white to black when she heard it.

"Miss, aren't you awake yet? Why are you... able to catch the Japanese pirates?"

"I……"

Wu Xinan was about to respond, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words he said, "Hey," he said with a smile.

"Of course I'm just talking about it. The Japanese pirates are so powerful, I can't hide, so how could I catch them!"

Zhiniao believed it after hearing this, nodded and responded.

"You'll think so. You must never go out again this night!"

Wu Xinan blinked, looked honest and honest, nodded and responded.

"Don't worry, I'm so timid, I don't dare to go out!"

That night, two worried girls quietly went to the lady's boudoir in the middle of the night to look at it. Seeing Wu Xinan, he was indeed sleeping in bed. He was relieved when he looked at each other and left the room and whispered,

"It seems that the young lady is really scared!"

"Can you be scared!"

Zhiniao patted his chest and said,

"I'm just saying that I'm out, so I can't rest assured to stay at home. I don't know if the Japanese pirates will come in..."

As he spoke, he looked around with fear on his face. Du Juan saw her serious appearance and felt a chill on her back. Her hand holding the lantern couldn't help but tremble, and she said,

"Bao, babe, babe! You don't talk nonsense, our family is not that unlucky!"

The two of them went back to the room and pressed the light to sleep, and they said nothing all night.

The mansion was calm all night, but Wu Cheng came back on the second day, saying that a girl from another family was killed last night, and after being raped, her head and limbs were cut off, and her death was also the same miserable. A girl was killed for two consecutive nights. People in Hangzhou were panic and rumors spread everywhere. Many people said that the Japanese pirates and rogues were a demon of lust, especially those who like to bully underage girls. Not only did they rape them, but they also had to torture them before they died. They cut off their heads when they were in so much pain...

This rumor is spread in a very good way, but it is actually very close to the facts. Even Wu Hongwen, a veteran of the name of the crime, also thought so, not to mention ordinary people, he sent Wu Cheng back here.

"Old lady, madam, our grandfather said that the ladies at home must pay attention. At night, the girl and the woman must leave one on duty, so you must not slackewer!"

When Fu and Xiao Cheng heard that they died again, they were also shocked and afraid. Xiao Cheng's four daughters, in addition to the youngest, the youngest, the oldest is not his own. The second and third brothers are about the same age as the murdered lady, not to mention that the second brothers are beautiful and have some reputation in this Hangzhou city. If the Japanese pirates are so slutty...

Xiao Cheng didn't dare to think about it. Wu Hongwen ordered the two girls and women to send the scores in the middle of the night. She doubled the scores and asked the four to take turns to the middle of the night. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was inappropriate, so she ordered,

"Move both the second and third lady into my yard!"

Wu Hongwen was not at home, so he simply let his mother sleep together, and his children were relieved to see him!

Thinking that his daughter should be careful and his son should not be careless, he sent four powerful guards to Sansiyuan to protect the safety of the two young masters.

At this time of crisis, Wu Xin'an was directly ignored by the family. No one was involved in the affairs of her yard, let alone sending additional personnel. Wu Xin'an was just right and happy to do so. When she returned to her own yard, Guan Mama, Zhiniao, Du Juan, and Liu Pozi spontaneously discussed.

"We are divided into two shifts. In the first half of the night, I will be with Zhiniao, and in the second half of the night, Du Juan will be with Liu's mother..."

Guan’s mother was assigned in this way, but Wu Xinan shook her head and said,

"There are only those who are thieves for thousands of days but those who are thieves for thousands of days. You are so worried that before the Japanese pirates arrive, they will collapse first!"

Thinking about it,

"I have an idea..."

Everyone asked hurriedly,

"What's the trick of the young lady?"

Wu Xinan responded,

"Then the Japanese pirates come, I'll hide and make him unable to find it..."

After saying that, he pointed to the woodshed outside,

"I'll sleep there!"

Everyone waved their hands repeatedly when they heard this.

"This wood-room is small and broken, dirty and messy. How can it be lived in? The eldest lady can't sleep here!"

Wu Xinan said with a smile,

"Look... you can't imagine that I would live there, and that Japanese pirates would never have imagined..."

This is a slap in the desktop,

"That's what we've decided!"

So without saying anything, they ordered them to clean up the woodshed in Chunhuiyuan and wait until they are ready to look at it. This place looks like normal from the outside, small, broken and black, but it is clean. It has a comfortable small bed, covered with fine brocade and soft quilt. The girls and women felt that the young lady was wronged, and Wu Xin'an smiled,

“It’s pretty good!”

I remember that in Dafeng Town, I had only a wooden bed and a broken quilt in all seasons. Isn’t it been here for so many years?

After the wood-room was laid out, I turned around to decorate my own boudoir.

"Zhi Niu and Du Juan, go find some thin silk threads... Mom Guan, go out of the mansion and buy some bells back... It's a small one, and the sound is crisp..."

Everyone didn't know why, so they did it one by one. After the things were ready, they ordered the people in the yard to work together, put the bell on the silk thread, and then wrapped the thin silk thread around the boudoir like a spider web, but left it alone from the window to the bed empty. They made a dummy pillow and clothes, put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and also wrapped the silk thread on the bed.

"Dingling..."

Wu Xinan tried to sit on the bed, with a thin line pressing under her butt, pulling the bell, and it immediately rang.

"It's done!"

Turn around here and everyone laughed,

"I'll go to bed, and there are dummies in this room. If the Japanese pirates don't come, they will go to bed if they come. Therefore, they will touch the bell in the room. Then we will wake up and make a fuss, and we may even be able to catch him!"

Everyone heard that the two women were tying their hands together.

"The young lady is so brave. The Japanese pirates are the evil people holding a knife in their hands. You dare to accept him!"

Bodhisattva bless you, don’t let that evil person come!

The two girls' eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Miss has a good idea, but we can't catch him. When we hear the news, we will call the guard to come in and get him..."

This was done so. Wu Xinan slept in the woodshed that night. Guan’s mother wanted to accompany Wu Xinan if she was alive.

"Miss, I must be with me. When the Japanese pirates come, I can also protect the lady!"

Wu Xinan had no choice but to rely on her. The two girls didn't dare to sleep upstairs, so they simply ran to the house of Liu Pozi, built a large shop with wooden boards, and the three of them squeezed into one place.

After the first night, the martial arts palace was fine. It was said that the Japanese pirates harmed another lady from another family, and the death was also the same. In this way, three murder cases were reported. The victim, with relatives and friends, and local gentry, knelt down at the prefecture government office to urge all officials to eliminate the local tragedy and avenge their daughters. Their head was pounding. Someone said that if the case could not be solved and the Japanese pirates could not be caught, they would go to the capital to sue the emperor!

From the prefect to the third yamen runners in Hangzhou, they hated the Japanese pirates, and searched the Japanese day and night, but they could not find any trace of the other party. Wu Hongwen was the prosecutor and the supervisor of the criminal name. This matter fell under his power and responsibility. The murders in the city happened one after another. If the Japanese pirates were not arrested, he would have done the final result!

Wu Hongwen was also in a state of turmoil for a while and was busy outside all day long. He didn't care about his family at all. Even though he was a little bit of a beard, his official uniform was wrinkled, and his eyes were bleeding. How could he look like a middle-aged man who was half elegant and gentle? Taking off his official uniform was no different from the vendor who set up a stall on the street.

Today, he just came back from outside to patrol the city and heard people report it.

"Master Wu, the magistrate is welcome!"

Wu Hongwen nodded when he heard this.

"The lower official also reported to the prefect for something important!"

This room hurriedly shook her clothes, stroked her temples, and tidyed her face. She hurriedly went in to see the governor.

"Sir, I wonder what orders should I give to the summons?"

The prefect Huang Yongzhou was also like Wu Hongwen, with a haggard face, but his beard was slightly clumsy. When he saw him saluting, he waved his hand.

"Where is Yifan? Is the case progressing?"

"Yifan" is the word Wu Hongwen. The magistrate called him this way because the two of them have always had a close relationship. However, the adults are kind, but those who are inferior officials cannot lose their composure. Wu Hongwen still bowed and bowed respectfully.

"Report to the Lord, the case... has made some progress..."

"Oh... let's hear?"

Wu Hongwen responded to the truth,
Chapter completed!
