Seeing that the leader was knocked down, the other two were shocked and jumped up together and rushed towards Shisanlang.

Shisanlang was tall and his arms were long. Without waiting for the two of them to approach, he punched them one by one, making them retreat continuously. Then he took a step forward, stepped on the wrist of the man named Meng, stepped off the sharp knife in his hand, and kicked it aside.

At this time, Shisanlang lifted up the cloth covered with the items under the table, and a bronze tripod appeared inside.

The three people who fell to the ground saw the stolen goods exposed, and their faces showed fierce light and jumped up together. The other two took out hidden sharp blades and stabbed Shisanlang on both sides of the ribs. Shisanlang was not afraid at all, so he picked up the bench beside him, waved it violently, and knocked them to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man surnamed Meng turned around and wanted to escape. Shisanlang took a big step, and two steps behind him, grabbed his neck and slapped it, and fell to the ground. He raised his big feet and kicked the three people into a ball. Shisanlang pressed the bench in his hand on them, sat up and pressed the three people tightly. At this time, Shisanlang said to Du Zhongxiao: "Official, I have already taken these three little thieves!"

Tao Shiqi was stunned and walked up to him, circled around Shisanlang, and then said, "Brother, you have become more and more brave! These three thieves are in your hands, just like naughty boys!"

Shisanlang smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! If the three little thieves can't handle it, how can I stay with the official!"

Du Zhongxiao walked up and said to Shisanlang: "Thank you for your agility, take down these three thieves together. Take a good look at them, don't take it lightly! They must have a party, and if one of them runs away, there will be trouble. Seventeen, go behind and call the owner and servant."

The servant obviously knew these three people and had to control them together to avoid accidents.

Tao Shiqi went back and Du Zhongxiao bent down to look at the bronze tripod on the ground. He had no archaeological knowledge, only could see that the tripod was tall and the patterns on it were complicated, obviously not ordinary objects. And it looked extremely ancient, and it was probably the bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty that was dug out.

After a while, Tao Shiqi took the owner and two servants to the front and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Officiale, there are only three people in this store. I also have a chef, so I went home in the afternoon and was not in the store."

Du Zhongxiao said: "If you don't have to worry about it if you are not in the store, you have taken these people and brought the stolen goods on the ground. First, go back to the inn."

The two promised that Tao Shiqi took the bag from the ground, Shisanlang covered the cauldron with cloth, carried it on his shoulders, and carried it back to the inn together with a few people.

After receiving the postman's report, the postmaster rushed to Du Zhongxiao's residence and saluted: "Official, what happened here?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I have taken a few thieves here. You can send someone to the prefecture city as soon as possible, report to the prefecture, and send someone to detain him."

The official secretary was a little panicked: "I don't know what kind of thief the official was holding? How to report to the governor?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I will write a book here, and you can send someone to the city overnight."

After saying that, he took the pen and ink and briefly explained the whole story. He asked Xiangzhou to send someone to come immediately and sign and write the pictures.

The postmaster did not dare to be negligent, so he collected the letter and sent a capable postmaster to ride a fast horse and went to Xiangzhou City overnight.

He asked the official secretary to lead someone to guard the residence with his entourage. Du Zhongxiao closed the door and interrogated the prisoner with Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang.

After looking at the six people in the house, the three thieves looked cruel and looked like they were all year round and would not confess easily. Du Zhongxiao turned to the shop owner and bowed: "Master, how many days have you been opening a shop there?"

The owner of the shop looked panicked: "The little one is Huang, his name is Yongwen, and he is known as Huang Yuanwai. He is from the hometown and has been opening a shop there for six years."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and looked at the three prisoners looking at the shop owner with fierce look on their faces. The shop owner and the two servants looked at the three people's eyes, and they were all afraid and lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.

Du Zhongxiao said to Shisanlang: "Take these three thieves next door, and I will talk to the owner of the shop."

Shisanlang promised and stepped forward to push the three thieves. They didn't move, and Shisanlang hit his big fist.

The three of them couldn't stand it, so they had to follow Shisanlang to walk out the door. When they arrived at the door, the man named Meng suddenly turned around and said viciously to the owner: "Old Huang, speak well, otherwise be careful of your wife, children, and young!"

Shisanlang punched the man surnamed Meng's face, punched him two teeth, and cursed: "You thief is about to die, and you dare to scare people!"

After saying that, he raised his legs and kicked the person out, dragged the other two out together, and closed the door.

Du Zhongxiao asked Tao Shiqi to take tea, and asked Huang Yongwen and the two servants to sit down. He said warmly: "Don't be afraid, since those thieves fall into my hands, they will definitely report to the public for trial. I see that the bronze ware was dug out of the tomb. The law of this dynasty, robbing the grave is a death sentence, and they think they can't live. I ask you, just say it directly, don't worry about them taking revenge."

Yuanwai Huang was still in shock and nodded repeatedly: "The official asked, how dare I not say anything?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is the best. Let me ask you, can you know these three people?"

Mr. Huang said: "The leader Meng Erlang is from Sandaoliang Village nearby. He knows him very much. His two subordinates only feel familiar. I think they have been to the store and don't know their names."

Du Zhongxiao turned around and asked the servant who greeted Meng Erlang in the store: "Do you know those two people?"

The servant shook his head: "I saw Meng Erlang taking him to the store a few times, but I don't know their names."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said to the three of them: "You are frightened, drink tea."

The three of them were frightened by this shock and were all dry. They took the tea on the table and Gugu Niu Drink. Du Zhongxiao watched coldly. Seeing the servant who greeted Meng Erlang, his hands were trembling with the bowl, he knew what he and Meng Erlang knew.

After the three of them finished drinking tea, put down the bowl, Du Zhongxiao said to the servant: "Where are you from? How many days have you been in Huang Yuanwai's store?"

The servant looked panicked and replied, "The official, the youngest person is called Tan Sanlang, he is from Erdaoliang Village. He has been in the store for nearly a year."

This area is the Taihang Mountains. Many small villages in the mountains often use village names such as Liang. Meng Erlang is Sandaoliang Village, and Tan Sanlang is Erdaoliang Village. It seems that they are not far away. No wonder they know more things.

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said to Tan Sanlang: "You don't have to panic. The government has the authority to decide everything, and no one can do anything to you. Since your family is not far from Meng Erlang's house, you want to come and know about him and say he will listen to me."

Tan Sanlang hesitated for a while, and saw Du Zhongxiao staring at him with his eyes, he did not dare to lie, and said, "Official, Meng Erlang's home is indeed not far from his young family. He knew since childhood. Meng Erlang liked to bet since childhood. Both his parents died when he was a teenager, and the fields at home were quickly lost. After losing the fields, he did some work for others, earned some money to eat and drink, and often had a meal without a meal. Three years ago, he didn't know what he knew, but suddenly he got money. Gambling in the village every day, drinking with a group of incompetent people every day. I heard that he was robbing nearby ancient tombs, and he often took out bronze ware and sold it to a nearby official Sun to get some money."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What is the origin of this Mr. Sun?"
