Chapter 112: It's hard to be a landlord

In the small reception room of the county office, Nie Shuyao looked at Da Niu with an expression of disbelief, hoping that he could tell the truth.

The same is true for Yuqin, she didn't believe that the county master was not there, so she pouted and asked, "Brother Da Niu, it's not good to lie." ”

Da Niu is really not a person who can lie, although he has seen a lot of things with Li Putou and is good at kung fu, but he really hasn't learned how to lie.

He scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Sister Shu Yao, Yuqin, it's not that Da Niu doesn't tell the truth, it's really that...... He...... I can't say it. ”

One sentence made his face red, and finally said 'can't say'.

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Yuqin, don't ask, don't embarrass Brother Niu." He also had no choice. ”

"Sister Shuyao......." Da Niu was very reluctant not to go, but this was the county master who said he was not there.

Yuqin pursed her lips and stopped talking, and Da Niu apologized to them vigorously.

Nie Shuyao said: "Brother Niu, what are you sorry for, it's not your fault." Is there something wrong with the county again? ”

She knew that the county master was in the back hall, maybe she would still be idle and bored drinking kung fu tea. The only reason for his absence is that there is a difficult case in the county, he is really a county master who is used to being a shopkeeper.

Nie Shuyao thought so in her heart, but she could only think about it in her heart, and she couldn't say it. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the county government to prepare the 300 acres of land and put a red seal on it.

Da Niu smiled: "It's still Shu Yao's sister who is smart, and she will know it as soon as you guess." ”

Yuqin probably understood what was going on, and glared at Da Niu fiercely again, "Then Brother Da Niu didn't say what it was?" ”

"Yes, yes, in fact, this matter is related to that Fengyue." Big Bull Road.

Hearing Fengyue, Nie Shuyao pinched her eyebrows, this Fengyue is really a ghostly guy!

"Brother Niu, please speak!" But she still said this with a grin, not letting outsiders know how much she hated Fengyue.

Da Niu continued: "The rich families in our county were also robbed by Fengyue. The county magistrate heard that Shen Zhuoshi was friends with the county magistrate of Lingxian County, so he invited him here, and then he said that he had left a note. He's been looking for this kind of book, and now he has more than a dozen of them. ”

The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth twitched, and she said in her heart: "It must be Shen Xinlu's sue to the county master, saying that I can distinguish the authenticity of the note." What a big deal I am doing! ”

"County ......, ah no, it's Li Putou who said, I want you to take a look at those notes, they are all waiting for you in the county government archives."

"Okay, Brother Niu will take us to have a look." Nie Shuyao got up and said, she knew that she couldn't run away, so she just went to see what kind of note it was.

Da Niu immediately became happy, opened the door for them diligently, and said, "Sister Shuyao, please!" ”

Nie Shuyao pouted again, it was really funny for such an honest big bull brother to do this kind of thing.

Can the big bull be unhappy? He, Li Putou and the brothers in Yamen are all worried about this note, and they have received three copies today. Fortunately, the county master knew that Shen Zhuangshi was also helping the county master of Lingxian County, so that he was also a big thief and frequently patronized the wealthy.

I thought that they might be hit by the county master's board, but as soon as Shu Yao's sister came to the county master, she thought of a way. Although this is a little unfair to Sister Shu Yao, who is Sister Shu Yao, she made a move to ensure that the truth is true and false.

Da Niu was very confident in this, and smiled as he walked, and the corners of his mouth were almost behind his ears.

Nie Shuyao pursed her lips and smiled, but she still left a little thin noodles for Da Niu.

But Yuqin was different, and immediately debunked: "Hmph, Brother Da Niu has also learned badly." You can't tell Li Putou from them, if you want to pull our young lady into the water, just say it, and play tricks. ”

Da Niu's laughter immediately stopped, and he looked at Yuqin apologetically, "This, this ......." ”

"Okay, don't be embarrassed by Brother Niu, Yuqin is also acting on orders." Nie Shuyao can't stand it anymore, how Yuqin always loves to bully big cows, she is the most unaccustomed to honest people suffering losses.

When he came to the archives, Nie Shuyao not only saw Li Putou and Shen Xinlu, but also saw Xiao Zheng, a butcher he hadn't seen for a long time. Of course, now people are not butchers, so they have to change their names to Mr. Xiao Zheng.

He was assigned to Master Li by the county magistrate, who was his helper, and he did some copying and writing on weekdays, and sorting out all kinds of files. Although he is not fat in the yamen, his monthly salary can barely support his family.

Nie Shuyao heard Da Niu say that since Xiao Zheng had an errand in the county government, his father's illness was cured, and even the daughter-in-law's body who was sick was getting better day by day.

She is really happy for Xiao Zheng, good people always have good rewards, isn't it? The family finally saw the moon when the clouds opened.

After several people exchanged pleasantries, Li Putou went straight to the point and talked about the note.

"Miss Nie, I'm really sorry! I thought that the wind and moon were only raging in Ling County, and we could breathe a sigh of relief in Qu County, but I didn't expect that since March, the rich families in this county have been frequently stolen, and their lost property has been converted into nearly 10,000 taels of silver. The county magistrate is furious about this, and we are limited to solve the case within this month, but ......, alas! ”

As he spoke, Li Putou sighed, he pointed to the dozen or so notes placed on the large square table put together with several tables, looked at Nie Shuyao pitifully, and said, "But apart from these notes, I really can't find any clues." ”

Nie Shuyao saw Li Putou's expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, this person is in his early forties, and he looks like a bearded person, putting on such a pitiful expression is really ...... I can't accept it.

She looked at Shen Xinlu beside him as if asking for help, feeling that it was still easy for this person to explain.

Shen Xinlu understood, stepped forward and said, "Miss Nie, look over here, these are notes from Ling County." Maybe Qu County is richer than Ling County, so many theft cases with books are less than 10,000 taels of silver! ”

I don't know whether this is a blessing or a sarcasm, but there seem to be nearly twenty of these notes. This is a theft case that has appeared since the beginning of the year, and presumably the rich households in Ling County are now talking about the "wind and moon" color change.

Nie Shuyao walked to the table and took a closer look, the materials of the note could be described as diverse. It was written in fine white cloth, some on mulberry paper, and some with a torn sleeve on which the needles could be clearly seen.

"Li Putou, Master Shen Xiang, do you think Fengyue will use this sleeve to keep a book?" She asked, pointing to the note.

Both of them smiled, and Li Putou said, "Isn't this the note about 'Fengyue has been here'?" Do you have to ask Miss Nie to analyze it carefully? ”

Nie Shuyao really wanted to slam his head with his fist, but he blamed himself for what he said casually at the time. But at this point, she had to pick up her spirits and identify it with her heart.

"Let's go find someone with missing sleeves to leave a book on this sleeve, see that the date happened yesterday, and check it immediately before the thief has changed the dirt, maybe a check will be accurate."

Li Putou immediately ordered the others to go down and arrange it quickly.

"Do you know what hobbies Fengyue has?" She looked at the other notes and asked as she went, and everyone had hobbies, which were important for distinguishing between the real and the fake.

Li Putou frowned and said: "Although no one has seen Fengyue on the official face, I heard that this person is extremely vassal and elegant. Otherwise, you can't use the word 'Fengyue' as a name, this Fengyue is a wind and snow! ”

When he said this, everyone in the room sneered, Li Zhutou looked like a big old man from the outside, but he didn't expect to know about the wind and snow.

After Nie Shuyao smiled, her eyes swept back and forth in the room, and she saw a broom behind the door, and asked Yuqin to pull a branch from it, and she used this to pick aside the sleeve note marked with the number.

"This must not be Fengyue. One look at the material, and the other look at the word, does it look like it was written by a vassal and elegant person? She explained.

Da Niu looked up, and even he didn't think it was like it, and the words were worse than his writing.

Nie Shuyao asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

Shen Xinlu said: "I heard that his kung fu is excellent, and he comes and goes without a trace. ”

This was recognized by Da Niu, and he said angrily: "It should be like this." Do you still remember the second Lu before? Fengyue hung him in front of the city gate, and according to Lu Laoer, he didn't see the front of Fengyue, and was knocked unconscious as soon as he made a move. But when he woke up, he found that he wanted to escape in the county jail, and none of our four or five arresters were opponents of Lu Laoer. ”

Nie Shuyao said: "If you are a Jianghu person, have good skills, and are elegant, then this ugly font should be ruled out." ”

Again, she picked out seven or eight notes with ugly fonts, both cloth and paper.

Then she asked again: "What kind of materials were used to write Fengyue's notes in the past?" ”

But this time, neither Shen Xinlu nor Li Putou could answer, it depends on the cases involved in Fengyue in the past.

Xiao Zheng is more familiar with this, and said: "Most of them are made of cloth, just like the strips of cloth that Lu Lao Er hung when he was hung in front of the city gate, and some of them are made of good mulberry paper. ”

His answer made Nie Shuyao look at it again, it seems that Xiao Zheng not only knows how to kill pigs, but also does a good job of sorting out the archives.

Nie Shuyao pulled out the font with a little domineering, including cloth strips and mulberry paper, and the rest were divided into several categories according to the font and material.

In the end, Nie Shuyao pointed to the note she had selected and said, "I think these eighty percent are true, and the others should be real thieves who committed thefts in the name of Fengyue." ”

She pushed these to Li Putou and Shen Xinlu's side, and the notes she brought from Lingxian were marked, and they could tell them apart.

Li Zhutou's brows were furrowed tightly at the moment, and he felt that he couldn't finish the county master's trust. The task given to them by the county magistrate is really not only to find out the authenticity of the note, but also to find out the thief who wrote the note.

Nie Shuyao also knew that there was no good thing for her to be invited here, and she would not let her go so easily, but she also had to ask for some benefits. Alas, why is it so difficult to be a landlord!

Immediately, he took out the title deed of 100 acres of land and handed it to Da Niu, and said: "Brother Da Niu, you give these land deeds to the county master first, and please let him stamp it." ”

Da Niu was very embarrassed and looked at Li Putou.

Before Li Putou could reply, Nie Shuyao said again: "I know that the county master is not here, so let's hand it over to Master Liu first." Our master should be here. ”

Li Putou said: "In, in!" Big bull go quickly. ”

After the big cow left, Li Putou said again: "Miss Nie, look at this ......." ”

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's wait for Brother Da Niu to come back, and you can talk about Fengyue at this time." ”R1152
