Chapter 278: Wronged Again
Nie Shuyao was blowing the tea foam floating in the tea bowl, as if she had just heard the old man's words, and asked rhetorically, "What did you just say?" ”
The old man raised his head and sighed, the emperor was really not in a hurry, he was in a hurry to die of the eunuch, and solemnly said word by word: "Wu Zhutou, I want to arrest you!" ”
"The previous sentence." Nie Shuyao asked again.
"The previous sentence?" The old man blinked his eyelids, daring to love that he didn't pay attention to what he just said? He was extremely angry, pointed at them with a trembling finger and said, "Xu Chengye is dead!" ”
Several people looked at each other, and Song Yunfei said, "How did you die?" What does it have to do with us? ”
The old man yelled, "It's okay, Wu Zhutou will come to arrest you?" ”
Da Niu heard it clearly and was anxious, but when he looked at Nie Shuyao and found that she was not in a hurry, his heart suddenly calmed down.
He pulled the old man and said, "Uncle Nian, you sit down and rest first." I believe that Shu Yao has his own ideas. ”
"Hmph, they've all been arrested, and if you have an idea, hurry up and say it." He sat down and hummed unwillingly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to let them escape this catastrophe, the matter of Huaishu Village has not been solved yet.
Feng Wuya and Song Yunfei are also like Da Niu, they don't know much, but they can also understand that Nie Tianxi's absence may have something to do with this matter, so they chose to remain silent.
Nie Shuyao drank the tea slowly and said softly, "What does it have to do with us when he dies?" Yesterday we managed to save him, and he was unrepentant and ate indiscriminately, what does it matter to us if he dies? ”
The old man was stunned: "You ask me, who do I ask?" It's not me who catches you. It was the second young master of the Xu family who said that you killed his eldest brother. ”
"Second Young Master of the Xu Family...... Does he have proof? Nie Shuyao frowned slightly. Again, rhetorical question.
"I ...... and ask me what I am doing? It makes sense for you to go and tell the county master. The old man rolled his eyes.
The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth curved, "It turned out to be Second Young Master Xu." Is he Xu Guangfa's own son? ”
The old man asked rhetorically, "You don't even know this, who in Yangzhou City doesn't know." ”
"It's as if you're from Yangzhou." Nie Shuyao muttered, what should I do or what should I do.
The old man didn't have a problem when he saw them like this, he said everything that should be said, as for how to wash away his grievances, it depends on their ability.
It didn't take long. Wenqu Lou did usher in Wu Zhutou and a group of catchers, and at the same time there was a young man wearing a dark blue robe.
Wu Putou's heart was bitter, and his son went to the inn managed by his father to get people. He felt a cold sweat break out on his back. The crowd also knows whose industry this is, and under the gloomy face of the shopkeeper Wu, they are very honest.
Da Niu was the first to bow to Wu Zhutou, "I don't know what Wu Zhutou is ......today?" ”
Wu Zhutou patted Da Niu's shoulder. For the sake of "Brother Da Niu." It's not that my brother doesn't give you face, it's just that once this matter is put on the line, it can become a big case. Adults can't show favoritism. ”
Nie Shuyao didn't want to embarrass them, so she got up and said, "I don't know why Wu Zhutou wanted to arrest me and others, what case did we commit?" ”
Before Wu Zhutou could answer, the young man next to him reprimanded: "You still have the face to say that my eldest brother was killed by you!" ”
"Who is this?" Nie Shuyao and the others were not disturbed by his words in the slightest, and she asked softly.
Wu Zhutou said: "This is the person who reported the case, the second young master of the Xu family." Xu Chengye's brother Xu Jiye. ”
Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, "Does the second young master of the Xu family have a good relationship with Xu Chengye?" ”
Xu Jiye said: "We are brothers. The relationship is naturally good. ”
"Huh." Nie Shuyao sneered twice, then pointed at Xu Jiye and said sharply: "Why do you say that we killed Xu Chengye, I think you killed Xu Chengye." Wu Zhutou, I want to sue this Xu Jiye for reversing right and wrong, not to mention that he killed his brother, and he wants outsiders to bear the black pot for him, I have never seen such a shameful person! Is this still called a person? ”
"This ......."
Nie Shuyao's words made Wu Zhutou and the crowd buzzing with the lively crowd. I've never seen such a powerful woman, this big case of poisoning people is so easy, what to say!
"You demon girl, Hugh has to bewitch the people!" Xu Jiye's face suddenly turned white, and his whole body trembled with anger.
But the surrounding discussion is getting louder and louder, it is human nature to look at idle things, not to mention in this ancient time when entertainment was so dull!
Someone said: "That's true, who doesn't know that Young Master Xu and the current head of the family are not in harmony." Maybe there's something really greasy in this! ”
"yes, yes. How much can a foreigner be able to poison people, I heard that this young master Xu went to Changchun Hospital yesterday and fell ill, but he was rescued by a foreigner. If you saved him, why did you poison him again? It's better not to save it. ”
"Makes sense."
Everyone, you and I talked a lot.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at his son with a smile, this is Lu Laohu's territory, and the catchers who came here today to take people are going to be unlucky.
Lu Laohu is a well-known protector of short-sightedness, and he is also a well-known eyelier who must be repaid!
In the end, Nie Shuyao said in a clear voice: "I went to the county government with you, not because I was afraid of Xu Jiye's slander, but because I wanted to ask for an explanation for your eldest brother." People can't die in vain. ”
Song Yunfei also came to Wu Zhutou and whispered: "This head catcher brother doesn't know yet, although we are businessmen, we also have a detective agency in Qu County." ”
"What is this for?" Wu Zhutou asked subconsciously.
Their voices were not loud, but the more they did, the more they aroused people's curiosity, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone listened attentively.
Song Yunfei said with a smile: "The detective office is the place where all kinds of unjust cases are accepted; It is a place to speak for the dead and to pay justice to those who have been wronged. ”
Then the onlookers began to talk again.
Nie Shuyao looked at Xu Jiye with a smile, this second young master of the Xu family is very similar to Xu Guangfa's appearance, at first glance, he is a father and son, and he looks like a talent. Without Xu Chengye's morbid appearance, and without the slightest hint of condescension, such a person seems to be more like the successor of the Xu family.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go to the county office. In front of the county magistrate, we will argue, and those who will clear themselves will clear themselves. But, if I find out anything, don't blame me for not being emotional. She looked at Xu Jiye seriously.
Xu Jiye's brows furrowed deeply, as if he believed what his father said, but so what, he didn't kill people.
"Hmph, yes or no adults will decide." Xu Jiye gritted his teeth and said.
"That's good. We're going to court! Wu Zhutou, please allow me to change my clothes. Nie Shuyao said.
Wu Zhutou didn't really know what was going on, so he nodded and said, "Give you a quarter of an hour." ”
Nie Shuyao led everyone upstairs, and said as she walked: "Xiaoqing and Lengzi, you stay and take care of our carriage and luggage; Wu Niang sent us to the county office, Shuilan and Walnut you two stayed, don't let the bad guys have a chance, dinner is ready, maybe you can rush back to eat; Brother Feng, Uncle Nian, you take Moon Shadow and the three of them to the Xu family to inquire, and everyone in the Xu family should not miss it, no matter how ridiculous or untrustworthy it is, write it down for me. If this case is tricky, we'll discuss it together when we come back in the evening. ”
Then, she went back to the room with Yuqin and Jiang Wan'er to change into men's clothes, and Yuqin carried her small toolbox and everyone went to the county office together. Wu Niang sent them in a four-wheeled carriage, and Nie Shuyao didn't want to be pointed at on the road.
When they arrived at the county office, Wu Zhutou and they had not yet arrived, and several people, under the leadership of Da Niu, wanted to meet with Yangzhou County Order first.
The Yangzhou County Commander once received the favor of the Wu County Commander of Qu County, and after seeing the letter, he was very concerned about what he entrusted. But this time after all, it was a big case of a dead person, and the deceased was the eldest son of the Xu family, a big local family, which gave him a headache.
The county commander's surname is Yang, his name is Xuewen, and he is an elegant middle-aged man. He has a handful of beautiful hair, and his square face is sad.
Nie Shuyao and his entourage came here to greet him first, and Yuqin kowtowed to him to thank him.
Yang Xuewen's face was warm, and he said, "How do you think this case is decided?" ”
Wu County's letter to him said that if the case was difficult to decide, the Nie brothers and sisters would definitely come to light, originally he just regarded it as a joke, but now he had to catch the ducks on the shelves. I also want to see if the person praised by Lord Wu, who was called a "wise man" in the past, is really capable.
Nie Shuyao was stunned, how could this sound so familiar. But at this time, she couldn't think too much, and hurriedly replied: "Just ask the adults to open the court to try the case." The little woman believes that the pure will clear herself! We are innocent. ”
With this sentence, Yang Xuewen felt that he had a lot more peace in his heart, as long as they didn't do it, there was always a way.
Under Nie Shuyao's construction, Yang Xuewen invited several highly respected people in Yangzhou City to come to watch the trial, which was a precedent for Yangzhou City, but he couldn't stand Wu County's order in the letter saying that it was beneficial to observe the trial in this way, so he immediately invited someone to invite him.
Soon after Wu Zhutou and his party arrived on foot, the people who watched the trial also arrived. There is Xu Guangfa, who has not been seen for a long time, and Lu Dewen, who is a tiger.
Nie Shuyao only glanced at Xu Guangfa, but nodded to the apologetic Steward Xu, which was regarded as a greeting.
And the smile on Lu Dewen's face has not changed since he came in, and when he saw Nie Shuyao's gaze nodding slightly at him, he praised her for this courage.
It can be said that he also smiled slightly, and he knew Lu Dewen who met for the first time. If this stout and red-faced man was really as wise as she thought, their Nie Clan's products would definitely come to him to cooperate. I believe that this person has the courage of a big salt merchant, and it will not be a small fight if he wants to do other business.
"Smack!" The astonishing wood fell, and the people who had no merit and fame all knelt down.
Except for an old man who was over sixty years old, only Song Yunfei did not kneel, and Nie Shuyao was very envious of him for this.
And Song Yunfei saw Nie Shuyao's frowning brows, and suddenly there was a throbbing in his heart, he wanted to give Nie Shuyao the identity that he could see the official without kneeling.
This is the procedure for ascending to the court, and no one can say anything to refute it, even the businessmen on the rich side knelt down, and Nie Shuyao had nothing to say.
After asking who Xu Jiye sued, Nie Shuyao began to fight back.
"May I ask Second Prince Xu, you said that it was me who poisoned your eldest brother, do you have any evidence? Even if there is, is it human evidence or physical evidence, please bring it up for everyone to see? (To be continued......) R1292
