The moon stars are scarce, and the autumn is high and cool.

Zu Zhao's door was suddenly knocked on urgently, and the sound of "tuk tuk" was very dry. There was a fire shadow shaking outside the door, and there were sporadic human voices in the distance. Inside the house, Zu Zhao jumped up, quickly recovered from his sleep, and ran to the small hall without getting dressed, and asked outside the door.

A servant's voice came from outside the door: "Eldest son, a wild man has come to the back door, clamoring to see you."

Zu Zhao opened the crack in the door and asked puzzledly, "Wild man?" What time is it, at this time?

He glanced at the sky outside the house, and it was the middle of the night on the moon.

The servant shook his head helplessly and said, "That wild man must be crazy, but some of the people who take care of the horse farm seem to know this wild man, so let the villain come and invite the eldest prince to come over."

Zu Zhao furrowed his brows slightly, as if muttering to himself: "Know?

He didn't think much of it, and told the servant to wait a moment and let himself approve a garment first.

Out of the residence, Zu Zhao followed the servants to the backyard, and there was not much movement in the other courtyards along the way, especially where his grandfather and several elders lived. It wasn't until the moon gate in the backyard that I could see many children on night duty, mostly holding torches, coming and going.

The main entrance to the backyard is not open, but a small side door is open. On a porch near the side door, seven or eight children were gathered together, as if they were talking about something. Someone saw Zu Zhao coming over, and hurriedly ran to everyone to inform them. The seven or eight disciples immediately turned and dispersed, and behind them there was another figure sitting on the fence of the porch, and not only that, but not far behind this man, on the other side of the fence, there was a sack. The sack occasionally wrestled and made a dull sound, and it was evident that it contained a living creature inside.

Zu Zhao approached, and all the children hurriedly saluted and said hello. He quickly saw the figure sitting on the edge of the fence clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised, this person was none other than Han Dang.

"Brother Han? Why are you here so late!

"I'm really sorry, I visited rashly, and I didn't pick a good time, I hope I didn't disturb Zu Gongzi." Han Dang stood up, although his words were apologetic, his face and tone were very hearty.

"Disturb or not, this is too out-of-the-box. Brother Han came to visit so late, there must be something wrong, inside the sack..."Zu Zhao didn't have any nonsense, he knew that there shouldn't be any twists and turns when dealing with Han Dang, so he got straight to the point, pointed to the sack that was still shaking behind the fence and asked.

Han Dang smiled and didn't say anything more, he jumped over the fence and came to the sack and lifted it up easily. The sack struggled a little more violently in midair, and the sound coming from inside became clearer.

The children of the surrounding ancestral families all stared at the sack, speculating about what it contained.

At this moment, some children rushed to the corridor in the front yard, it was Zu Ji, Zu Zhan and a few young uncles.

Han Dang carried the sack, stepped over the fence with another big stride, and then slammed the sack on the ground in front of everyone. There was a dull scream from the sack, and soon there was no movement again. Han Dang squatted down, untied the rope at the mouth of the sack, lifted the sack, and revealed a short figure.

Zu Zhao and everyone stepped forward one after another and looked through the firelight. The man in the sack had already broken his head and was bleeding, and after Han Dang's fall just now, he was even more unconscious at this time. His face was covered with blood, blurred, and he really couldn't recognize who this person was, but based on the situation of his acquaintance on weekdays, this person should not be someone he knew.

"Brother Han, this person... Who is this? Zu Ji, who had just arrived, looked puzzled and asked with a little worry. Watching Han Dang use a sack to cover a half-dead person, and it was the middle of the night, I was afraid that any normal person would feel nervous.

"This person's name is Wang Zheng, and Su Rili is the best friend of Deng Mao. I heard that there was an accident in the ancestral son's village, which was related to Deng Mao. Han didn't have much to contribute, so he made a special trip back to Lingzhi yesterday to find Wang Zheng to track down Deng Mao's whereabouts. Han Dang said unhurriedly, his face did not change much.

Although everyone knows that Han Dang has the following, when they heard this, no one could help but change color.

Even if Wang Zheng is the best friend of Deng Mao on weekdays, he can't conclude that he is related to the horse robbery case, so he rashly arrested people, so does it not mean that he blatantly kidnaps horses?

Even Zu Zhao himself was very surprised, in his opinion, Han Dang would not be so impulsive and reckless.

"I was only going to ask him two words, it would be nice to know Deng Mao's whereabouts. But I didn't expect that this Wang Zheng would be a thief and dare to plot against me. As soon as he made a move, I knew that he must have something to do with it, so I immediately arrested and tortured him, and this thief recruited everything. Han Dang's tone became more and more serious.

"What? Is this person really involved in the horse robbery case? An elder asked.

"Not bad. This thief has already been recruited, and if you have any doubts, you can check with him. Han Dang nodded and said.

"Brother Han, then why didn't you escort this thief to the official office?" Zu Ji asked suspiciously.

Han Dang's face changed slightly, he laughed dryly twice, and did not answer.

Zu Zhao tugged at Zu Ji's cuffs and motioned to him not to ask things that shouldn't be asked. Of course he knew Han Dang's intentions, whether Han Dang was grateful because he learned that he had entrusted Uncle Hong to help his family, or whether he was just talking about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and was willing to do his best to help, this was a matter between Han Dang and his ancestral family, and it had nothing to do with the government. Taking a step back, Han Dangzheng was ordered to be arrested by the county government, how could he throw himself into the net?

"Brother Han really helped me a big favor this time. You might as well go to the house and sit down, the weather is so cold, drink a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold. Since this thief Wang Zheng is unconscious, he will be escorted to the firewood room first, and he will be tried again. Zu Zhao took out the demeanor of the eldest prince and said to Han Dang with gratitude and enthusiasm.

"In this way, Han is not welcome." Han Dang did not refuse, and readily agreed.

"Aji, take someone to escort this guy to the horse feed room, so that he can be optimistic." Zu Zhao commanded.

"Yes, don't worry, eldest prince." Zu Ji hurriedly agreed.

Subsequently, Zu Zhao, Zu Zhan and several elders led Han Dang to a side hall in the main hall of the central hall and instructed the servants to prepare tea.

After Han Dang drank a few sips of hot tea, Zu Zhao asked, "Brother Han, where did you hear about Deng Mao?" "

Now that the horse robbery case is spreading in the county, coupled with the big actions of the ancestral village up and down for several days, it is easy for Han Dang to inquire about this matter. But the clues about Deng Mao, in order not to startle the snake, have always kept a low profile, and have not even officially reported the matter to the county government, how did Han Dang know?

Han Dang put down the teacup and let out a sigh of relief. He didn't hide it and said: "Don't hide it, since I heard that there was an accident in the ancestral son's house, Han secretly sneaked back to Lingzhi to find out the details of the matter." Just the night before yesterday, I happened to meet the Abao brothers in your house in Xili Town, and it was because of the Abao brothers that Han learned about it. "

Ah Bao is one of the children of the ancestral family who participated in the Xihe Bridge exercises, although he does not insist on going every day, but he also participates intermittently, so he met Han Dang.

Zu Zhao bowed his head slowly, and said with emotion: "Brother Han actually took a special risk to return to Lingzhi for this matter, and this kind of righteousness is thin and cloudy, so that I am grateful." He could see that in order to help Zujiazhuang investigate the horse robbery case, Han Dang sneaked back to his hometown in a few days, and did not return to his home by the way.

Han said without changing his face: "It would be too obvious for the ancestor to say such things. First, this matter was originally to eliminate violence and peace, and secondly, Han admired his grandfather as a person, and he was reasonable and duty-bound.

Everyone was greatly moved when they heard Han Dang's words.

Zu Zhao smiled: "Okay, then I will accept Brother Han's words in the future."

At this time, Zu Zhan on the side was thoughtful, and did not forget to turn the topic back to serious matters, he maintained etiquette and asked: "Han Yishi, what is the relationship between this Wang Zheng and Deng Mao?" After listening to what Han Yishi said, it can be seen that Wang Zheng and Deng Mao should have a lot to do with the horse robbery case, I wonder if there is another mystery behind the horse robbery case? These

words can be said to be the most concerned thing of the ancestral family in the past few days, not only that, but I am afraid that even the two county governments are the same.

Han Dang said calmly: "Yesterday evening, Han inquired about Wang Zheng's whereabouts from a few local friends, so he quickly found Wang Zheng in a market outside the county. I wanted to only ask him about Deng Mao's whereabouts, but before I could ask a few words, this guy took advantage of my unpreparedness and pulled out a hidden dagger with the intention of harming me. I don't care about this kind of rat three-legged cat kung fu. After subduing the thief, I pressed him into questioning. Wang Zheng was still stubborn at first, but he couldn't stand being beaten in the end. "
