Chapter 144: The Verge
After Nie Tianxi finished speaking, he shut up.
Nie Shuyao watched the expressions of everyone present with cold eyes on the side, focusing on the coachman, she had seen Feng Wuya's coachman, and at this time her face was blank, and she didn't understand what they were talking about at all.
The same is true of Xie Yousheng's coachman, these two can basically be ruled out, and the rest are the coachmen of the official lady and the businessman.
In her opinion, the merchant's coachman was the most suspicious, but the honest appearance of this coachman really did not have anything to do with the vicious bandits.
This person is not tall or strong, at most thirty years old, his beard has not been taken care of for a few days, a layer of black stubble, the key is his mannerisms, which makes people feel that this is an honest farmer.
He held his hands and looked at this and that person from time to time, looking like he had never seen the world, and wiped his nose with his sleeve from time to time, which was really difficult to doubt.
But Nie Shuyao felt that it was too true but fake, and this person could be listed as a suspect. Then there is the chauffeur of the official lady, she is a well-educated lady, and when everyone went out to see the murder, they didn't go out.
And these people have already sorted out their packages and are waiting to go. The coachman is a good old man, and the escort is his son, and he looks like a talent. Dressed in navy blue and short brown, he felt neat, and his eyes also scanned everyone intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a trace of contempt.
This person is not pretending to have a bit of origin, and the posture of his eyes above the top is really uncomfortable. He was also carrying a long baggage, Nie Shuyao thought that it was a weapon, and if it was a big knife, it would be even more suspicious.
Under her scrutiny, she inadvertently met Feng Wuya's curious eyes, and the two nodded slightly to each other, which made Nie Shuyao feel that this matter should have nothing to do with them, although they were dramatics, they also had backbone.
After locking on to the target, Nie Shuyao nodded at Nie Tianxi.
At this time, Ji Changfeng was considering whether Nie Tianxi's method was feasible, and he also saw that the identity of the girl who had been covered in the hood might be really unusual, should he offend people for this. Maybe this impatience alone may hinder your career!
He regretted that he didn't bring his master to serve as a staff officer, looked at Nie Shuyao's sisters and brothers, and said in his heart: "After all, they are small people who have never seen major events, even if they have some talents, what is the use?" I don't know how to accept it when I see it. ”
Nie Tianxi glanced at his sister, knowing that Ji Changfeng had hesitated, and said again: "Why don't you unwrap the package yourself and let everyone take a look at each other." Our Lord Ji is a benevolent county lord, if you forcibly open everyone's luggage, you will not be happy, so don't embarrass Lord Ji. ”
These words were for Ji Changfeng's sake again, and Ji Changfeng smiled at this time.
The few people who had been staying in this inn immediately opened their baggage, these people were merchants who had come to collect the accounts, and there was only one account book in it, except for two changes of clothes and scattered silver.
The person who opened the burden stood on the other side, which was considered to clear the suspicion.
Feng Wuya and the four of them also opened their bags, and there was no arsenic or knives, and there was no Wu Yuan's silver, only a few silver tickets.
According to Wu Yuan, he had thirty taels of silver and two hundred taels of silver tickets on him, all of which were gone.
When the second master saw it, he smiled and said, "Have you seen it, this is a silver ticket!" ”
Wu Yuan ran over to take a look, shook his head and said, "This benevolent brother, please don't talk nonsense, there is a special mark on the silver ticket below, as long as it is on the silver ticket, you can see it at a glance." ”
"What is it?" Du Bao asked.
"Yes......."
Nie Tianxi saw that he was about to say the mark, and hurriedly interrupted: "Stop!" Brother Wu, please don't say it. It was not too late to talk about it when the silver ticket was found, so that the thief had prepared in advance. ”
"Could it be that the thief is ......?" Although Wu Yuan was a bit stupid in reading, he was not stupid, and immediately thought of the meaning of this.
Ji Changfeng continued: "The thief is among us. ”
"It's worthy of an adult, just think about it." Nie Tianxi praised again.
"Haha, go on." As soon as Ji Changfeng was happy, he entrusted this matter to Nie Tianxi.
In this case, Nie Shuyao couldn't ask for it, and she could also come out to speak when the time was right.
The only ones left were the official lady and Du Bao, and the businessman's coachman didn't take the initiative to open the baggage.
Nie Tianxi came to the official lady and arched his hand: "Please make it convenient." ”
"Humph!" The young man who escorted the car let out air directly in his nostrils and ignored him.
Nie Tianxi looked at Miss Guanjia and said, "If you don't want to be a suspect, please cooperate." ”
The maid of the official lady said, "Why? You're not tolerance, and you haven't checked yet. ”
"It's ......."
Nie Shuyao got up and said as she walked: "We are indeed not tolerance, but I can guarantee that none of us are murderers." If the girl insists on seeing it, we'll show it to you when everyone has checked it. ”
As he spoke, he came to her and said with a smile: "If the girl's belongings are inconvenient, let the little girl show them alone." ”
She said it very sincerely, but the little maid still didn't appreciate it, and pouted: "It's good, can you conclude that we're okay?" Do you have what it takes? ”
"Yes!" Nie Shuyao said very seriously.
Her self-confidence moved the woman in the hat and said, "Cher must not be rude. ”
This was the first time she had spoken out in front of everyone, and her voice was as crisp as a pearl striking a jade plate, attracting everyone's attention.
"Girl, please come with me."
She got up and walked to a secluded corner of the lobby, first opened her package, and standing in front of the table were the little maid, Yuqin, and Wu Niang, the three of them blocked everyone's view, Nie Shuyao saw that it was just some women's belongings, and there was nothing they were looking for.
"Thank you, Miss!" Nie Shuyao bowed down and thanked him, doing this was just a show for everyone.
However, the young man's package must be checked, and she was curious about what kind of weapon it contained.
Nie Shuyao came to the young man with his eyes above the top and said, "This brother, it's your turn." ”
The young man sneered and said, "You said that you can conclude that we are fine, how can you be a woman?" ”
Nie Shuyao also sneered: "There is no virtue and incompetence, only the ears of facts!." ”
"Humph!" The young man couldn't argue, threw the package on his back on the table, and said in an unkind tone: "Look! ”
The package made a dull "thump" sound when it hit the table, indicating that there was indeed iron inside.
Nie Shuyao was also not polite, and unwrapped the package with his own hands, and there was a knife in addition to a few pieces of clothing.
But this knife is extremely special, and only Nie Shuyao may be the only one present who recognizes what kind of knife it is. In her previous life, she had seen real objects in a museum.
This knife is longer than a single sword, slightly shorter than the general long sword, thick back and thin blade, like a razor, the blade has a curve, the handle is quite long, can be used with both hands, not only conducive to foot combat, but also suitable for horse combat. This is the specialty of the Ming Dynasty - the embroidered spring knife of Jinyiwei.
She picked up the knife, took it in a heavy hand, and pulled it out halfway, its blade glowing, but not smelling blood.
"Boom!" The knife was re-sheathed, and Nie Shuyao praised: "Good knife!" Please keep it away. ”
Du Bao immediately coaxed: "The murder weapon has been found, my lord, what are you waiting for, take them down." ”
Nie Shuyao turned around and said, "They are not murderers, and they have nothing to do with this case." But three, what about your packages? And this coachman, what about yours? ”
"You little lady is so unreasonable, didn't you see the grandfathers coming empty-handed?" Du Bao roared again.
Nie Shuyao ignored them and turned to look at the coachman and asked, "I don't know what to call this one?" ”
The coachman only promised: "Ding, Ding is strong." ”
"Ding Dazhuang, don't you have a package?"
"No, no."
Nie Shuyao asked again: "Do you know that your master is very bad now, and even the housekeeper is about to die, can you go back and report to the master's house alone?" ”
Ding Dazhuang said sadly: "What's wrong with the master? Didn't the girl cure the arsenic poison for her master just now? How could it not work? ”
As soon as she heard this, Nie Shuyao was sure that this person was the fourth person hidden inside, this person seemed sad, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes. But how can you take them down quietly?
Nie Shuyao didn't say anything, just shook her head slightly. Turning around, he lowered his head and quickly wrote a line of words on the piece of paper in his palm with a pencil, and came to the young man from before, and said, "I recognize what kind of knife it is, please see if I guess correctly." ”
Nie Shuyao handed the note to the young man without saying a word, because he was closest to Ding Dazhuang.
The sister and brother glanced at each other again, she looked at Song Yunfei again, and found that Song Qing and Leng Zi came to Du Bao's side quietly.
Nie Tianxi said at this time: "Why don't we invite Li Erneng out, see what he says, and recognize that Taoist by the way." ”
After getting Ji Changfeng's nod, Li Erneng was taken down.
He walked with a limp, and it seems that after Li Daneng ran away, he was beaten by the officials.
Li Erneng knelt down in front of Ji Changfeng and didn't say a word.
Nie Tianxi asked, "Li Erneng, does your eldest brother know kung fu?" You know he escaped. ”
Li Erneng shook his head: "I don't know the little one, the little one fell asleep just now, and when I woke up, I didn't see the eldest brother." ”
Leng Zi and Song Qing also came forward to testify, Li Daneng is just a bit brute force and doesn't know kung fu at all.
"Where did your arsenic come from? Let's see if any of us have a Taoist who sold you arsenic. Nie Tianxi asked again.
After reading it, Li Erneng still shook his head.
Nie Tianxi took another step forward and said, "Li Erneng, our adults know that you are affected by your eldest brother, if you can make meritorious contributions with your crimes, your sins can be forgiven." ”
Ji Changfeng frowned when he heard this, but he didn't expose this lie, he now has no way but to torture the people involved.
Li Erneng's eyes were a little bright, he looked at Du Bao and the three of them, got up and said, "It's him!" The one in the middle, he is the Taoist who gave us arsenic. ”
As he spoke, he quickly hid behind Ji Changfeng, and kept saying, "My lord, I was wronged, but I really don't know about my eldest brother's escape." ”
The person he was referring to was the second master of Qingcang Village.
At this moment, the innkeeper Hu walked in from outside with a little girl, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and said angrily as she walked: "Who killed it, even my cat didn't let go, this person is really not human!" ”
He placed the bag on the ground, and the little girl opened it, and inside was a black cat covered in blood. R1152
