Chapter 102: Clarification
Hearing this, Yuqin immediately laughed, and she remembered that when she was still in prison, the young lady told Chunliu that the toad wanted to eat swan meat.
When Nie Shuyao heard this laughter, he looked at the four ladled boys in front of him, and knew at a glance that they had never heard this story.
"Yuqin, tell them what a suspicious neighbor steals an axe."
Yuqin and Hutou have never fallen behind in their literacy homework in the past six months, and with the hard work of the two, they have really learned a lot of knowledge.
"Yes, Miss!" Yuqin smiled, she had heard this story.
"Once upon a time, when a family lost an axe, they thought the man next door looked like a thief ......."
With the crisp sound of the celery, this story also drifted into the ears of those present.
After the story was told, the second artillery first raised his head and said, "Did you hear that?" You're the one next door. Maybe Manager Jiang's money bag is where he carelessly forgot to put it! ”
The remaining few people were not sure if the second artillery was unclean, but now that they heard this story again, they all felt that they were the people next door in the story, and the four of them were speechless for a while.
At this moment, Nie Shuyao heard someone coming, and turned his head to see that it was Jiang Yi and the coachman just now.
Jiang Yi was dressed in dark green clothes, walking in this bleak winter day was eye-catching, coupled with his long figure, steady and powerful steps, and the ink hair blown up by the wind, a feeling of convincing arose spontaneously.
Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, this person is really a dragon and phoenix among people just from the outside, no wonder Jiang Wan'er stares so closely!
"Miss Nie, what's going on here?" Jiang Yi asked softly, and after he and Jiang Xiaoluo came to the workshop, they found that she had not arrived in the back, so they came out to take a look.
Nie Shuyao knew that there was also a percentage of his dry shares in this honeycomb coal workshop, and if he was dealing with some people in the rivers and lakes, he would have to come forward.
"It's a little thing, but it's not a big deal." She laughed.
Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Well, the girl said that it is not a matter, then it must be nothing." ”
The second artillery became irritable again because of these two sentences, raised his head and shouted: "What do you mean it's nothing? Isn't it okay that I have been wronged? It's certainly not a problem for you rich people, but it's different for me! ”
Several people frowned and didn't speak, but the coachman stepped forward and comforted: "Second artillery, you can stop!" If you don't think about your village, you have to think about your mother. ”
The second artillery's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this, looked at the coachman, and said gratefully: "Third uncle, it turns out that you are really the one who drove the car, no wonder I am familiar with the voice." ”
The coachman smiled and nodded, looking at Nie Shuyao embarrassedly.
The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth pulled at the corners of her mouth that she smiled like this, no wonder this uncle just persuaded her not to meddle in her affairs and use such a loud voice, daring to love that this was a warning to the second artillery.
Jiang Yi looked at Nie Shuyao and said, "Let's go back to the workshop in advance, it's not a matter of standing here blowing the north wind." ”
"Good!" Nie Shuyao looked at the four half-day young men and said, "You go back to the workshop with me first, if you suspect that your neighbor is stealing an axe, let's go and check together." ”
The four of them looked at each other, although Nie Shuyao was about the same age as them, but the bearing of the expression made them feel convinced, and they all nodded in response.
It was not a few steps away from the workshop, and everyone walked into the workshop.
As soon as he entered the workshop, he saw Jiang Xiaoluo's smiling face, and there was a short and fat middle-aged man beside him who was well-dressed, although the clothes looked good, but they were still stained with soot, and his face was also dusty.
This made Nie Shuyao's dissatisfaction with the steward drop a little, judging from the above two points, although this steward has the shortcomings of loving and doubting people, he is also practical.
Jiang Xiaoluo smiled: "Why did Miss Nie fall behind, how cold it is outside, hurry, please inside." ”
The workers in the workshop are working in full swing, and there are two large stoves around it, and the temperature in the room is relatively comfortable.
When the group entered the steward's room, Jiang Xiaoluo asked again, "Who are these?" ”
Only then did Nie Shuyao tell the steward that the second artillery was recognized as a thief.
Steward Jiang was ugly when he heard it, just now he saw the second artillery following and knew that this matter had something to do with him, and he felt that this girl was slapping him in the face.
Jiang Xiaoluo knew Nie Shuyao's ability, looked at Steward Jiang and said, "Lao Jiang, you are the old man of our Jiang family, don't I know what kind of temper you have?" Miss Nie said this because your money bag is gone, and she is looking for a money bag for you, so let's talk about the situation at that time! ”
Nie Shuyao looked at Jiang Xiaoluo and nodded, he said this well, and he stabilized Jiang Guan with a beating, and he deserved to be the material for doing business since he was a child.
When Steward Jiang heard this, he didn't understand that Jiang Xiaoluo was beating him, it seemed that this person was not only in here, but he was busy arching his hand at Nie Shuyao and said, "Lao Jiang is slacking, please forgive me." ”
Nie Shuyao waved his hand and said, "Steward Jiang is polite. Just now, my maid just told the four of them the story of the suspected neighbor stealing the axe, I think Steward Jiang knows this story. ”
Steward Jiang's face was a little stupid, and he said, "If the girl has anything to say, just ask." My money bag is a trivial matter, and it doesn't hurt if you can't find it, it's just some scattered silver, but a person's character can't be ignored like that. We do business, but we don't have faith and don't stand! ”
The second artillery stared at Steward Jiang, he wanted to shout out and say that he didn't steal, but he couldn't do this. When I think of my mother, I feel extremely sad, this job can't be lost!
He looked at Nie Shuyao with hopeful eyes, and it was up to her whether he could wash away his grievances.
Jiang Xiaoluo frowned, he didn't expect Steward Jiang to say such a thing, could it be that there are really people with unclean hands and feet in this workshop? So he also looked at Nie Shuyao.
Nie Shuyao nodded and said, "Steward Jiang is right!" However, it is not possible to determine who is right and who is wrong without finding conclusive evidence. Steward Jiang still tell me where you went yesterday, what kind of money bag is that? What's inside? ”
"Steward Jiang, let's talk about it, don't worry, Miss Nie is very powerful." Jiang Xiaoluo also said.
Steward Jiang said, "That money bag is a purse made for me when the little girl first learned to embroider." There is an immortal pine embroidered on the blue background, although the embroidery is not very good, but it is the little girl's heart, and I am also regarded as a close-fitting money bag. It contained about half a tael of silver and a small piece of ambergris. ”
"Ambergris?" Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically, this ambergris is an extremely expensive spice, comparable to gold, how can a workshop manager afford to use it.
Jiang Xiaoluo said: "You got it from the Jiang family's old pharmacy, right?" Is your daughter okay? ”
Steward Jiang bowed and said: "Thank you Shaodong for your concern, the little girl's body has improved greatly, and the old pharmacist said that as long as you take a little more ambergris, you will almost be better if you don't cough." ”
Only then did Nie Shuyao know the origin of ambergris, and said, "Steward Jiang, please continue." ”
"Yesterday afternoon, there was a problem with the coal they were responsible for, so I went out to demonstrate to them. When I went out, I touched my purse, and it was still there, but after I finished the demonstration, I never found it again. ”
Steward Jiang frowned deeply, and said to himself: "Silver is a small matter, but that ambergris is a good medicine for the little girl's health, it's rare." ”
Nie Shuyao understood this, squinted and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Steward Jiang really looked for the entire workshop?" ”
"Looked! Even the horns have been found. No! Steward Jiang said solemnly, his eyes looked at the Second Artillery again.
The second artillery couldn't hold back, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not me, it's really not me!" Even if everyone doubts me, it's not me! ”
Nie Shuyao smiled: "I believe it wasn't made by the second artillery." ”
The second cannon had a sour nose, wiped a handful of tears with his dirty sleeves, and choked up: "...... Thank you, girl! ”
Steward Jiang frowned.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaoluo both laughed, and Jiang Yi asked, "Does Miss Nie know where Steward Jiang's money bag is?" ”
Nie Shuyao said: "The disappearance of Steward Jiang's money bag is nothing more than that it was not there during the demonstration, and he carefully confirmed it before and after and carried it with him, even if outsiders steal it, they really can't do it." If you have searched all the inside and outside of this workshop, there is only one place that is possible. ”
"Where?" Steward Jiang would be more anxious than anyone else, and he felt extremely guilty when he heard his daughter's cough at night.
"Where did you demonstrate yesterday?"
Steward Jiang hurriedly said, "Follow me!" ”
The group followed him without saying anything.
Coming to the corner of the workshop, there is a bunch of formed honeycomb bees quietly placed, which do not look special. But Nie Shuyao's nose moved slightly, and she smelled different smells.
She looked back and forth around the hundred and ten honeycomb bees, and then at the pile of raw materials that had not yet taken shape, and her brow furrowed, and a guess was formed.
"You say, is Steward Jiang's money bag in this?" She asked, pointing to the pile of unformed raw materials.
Steward Jiang was the first to stand up and deny, saying: "This honeycomb coal is made of loess and wood flour and other materials, which are all mixed with pulverized coal, and need to be mixed with water and constantly stirred before they can be put into the mold." If there was my money bag in it, I would have found it long ago. ”
Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "No matter what you do, there will be loopholes, let's try it, isn't there still half of the raw materials here that have not been made into honeycomb coal?" Let's do it now. ”
The second artillery and the dog left a few stepped forward again, but Nie Shuyao said: "Don't go to the second artillery." Just watch it here, save a while and find it, and some people are not convinced, saying that you put it in temporarily. ”
"Well, good!" The second cannon thought that this was also possible, wasn't that the jade fan like that in the first place? He was afraid.
In this way, the remaining three of them began to work.
Nie Shuyao said again: "The four of you are really true, if you don't go out to fight that fight, maybe Steward Jiang's money bag has been found a long time ago." However, it was also providential, so I came up with a brilliant idea. ”
After most of the pile of raw materials was completed, the movement of the cannon's hand froze, and everyone's eyes looked at him.
"Find ...... Got it. The cannon took his hand out of a large mass of raw materials, and it was really a purse object.
Looking at the purse that was about to be mashed, Steward Jiang wanted to cry without tears, it was his daughter's first embroidery job, and the ambergris in it was needless to say that it was gone.
Nie Shuyao said, "Okay, a few of you come out for me." Don't move the raw materials around the cannon for the time being, I'll be of great use! ”R1152
