Everyone had expected such a result, after all, they had been missing for half a month.

Nie Shuyao said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

Mrs. Li said: "It was a month ago night, not long after dinner at home, a well-dressed mother-in-law came to my house, saying that there was a big deal to discuss. I told her where we matchmakers can make big deals. The woman talked for a long time, and directly said that some girls in Yihong Courtyard wanted to be good, so they asked the matchmaker in our county to help, and settled the next girl to give us ten taels of silver. If those girls marry well, they will give more.

The old woman was moved, and the woman said that she didn't ask me to be a matchmaker. Regardless of how late it was, he followed her to Yihong Courtyard. Yihong Courtyard is really lively, and the girls in it are also beautiful, and I have also seen a few peers. The mother-in-law didn't expect it to be the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard, and the girl inside called her Gu's mother, who was ruthless. There are also girls who are unwilling to marry casually, and Gu's mother let the thugs beat the unwilling girl so miserably without saying a word! ”

opened the chatterbox, and Mrs. Li chattered endlessly.

After talking for a long time, Nie Shuyao figured out that Gu's mother, the old bustard in Yihong Courtyard, was entrusted by Xiao Taohong to marry off some old, outdated, and unhealthy girls. Only then did he personally ask the matchmakers to help, but the matchmakers inside didn't know very well, they were just using the silver to do things.

Nie Shuyao suddenly asked, "Is there a matchmaker Hao among the matchmakers who went with you?" How do you know she might be dead? ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly poured a cup of tea and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'm going to talk about this next." ”

"A few of our matchmakers came together to negotiate the price with Yihongyuan, and when the conversation was about to go, we suddenly heard a scream, and we were all scared. Immediately, two thugs dragged out a bloody man from behind, and a young man came out of the back wing, pointed at the man, and said, 'This is the disobedient matchmaker, you have to take care of yourself.'

After the man finished speaking, he left, and what was even more annoying was that Gu's mother, who invited us, also left, leaving us five matchmakers and a person with blurred flesh and blood as soon as the door closed. It's really scary, it's really a day that doesn't work, and the earth shouldn't ....... ”

Listening to Mrs. Li start nagging again, Nie Shuyao interrupted impatiently: "Please get to the point." ”

"Oh, oh. And here it is. Mrs. Li smiled awkwardly and said, "After a few of us shouted for a while to no avail, we went to see the person who was beaten, and only then did we know that it was Mrs. Hao when we wiped the blood on her face." At that time, we knew that this was killing a chicken to show the monkey, and since then we have never dared to tell Yihongyuan about silver.

Mrs. Hao woke up after a while, and when she saw us, she said let's go and report to the official, someone wants her life, and told us not to do anything that hurts heaven and reason. But before she finished speaking, she was dragged out again, and we haven't seen Mrs. Hao since. It wasn't until midnight that Gu's mother came over to assign us a girl, and we took the girl assigned to us home overnight. ”

"That's all?" Nie Shuyao asked.

Mrs. Li nodded again and again, "That's all." Give each of us five girls at a time, and when we say it, we will go to Yihong Courtyard to get it. I went there three times and got it, and they never bothered me since. Just ......, alas! The old woman forced to give people a concubine in order to save her life, and she really lacked great virtue. If the girl can bring down Yihongyuan, the old woman will go door to door to make amends to others. ”

Nie Shuyao tapped her fingers on the tabletop, thinking quickly in her mind, it seems that these matchmakers are just tools for Yihong Courtyard to sell girls to the outside world, and they don't have much sin. And judging from Qingmei's confession, the girls of Yihong Courtyard are also unaware, and they can also be said to be half a tool and a chess piece in their hands.

But Nie Shuyao didn't understand, what was the purpose of Xiao Taohong's this? What is the origin of that Guan Qiang?

"Yangzhou, see Yangzhou again, isn't Yangzhou a place for beautiful women but a place for bullies and bandits?" She frowned and muttered to herself.

Feng Wuya said: "The beauties of Yangzhou are very beautiful, but the officials of Yangzhou are also very mediocre. In this way, it makes sense to have some bullies. ”

The Changsheng class started from Yangzhou, and Feng Wuya knows the city of Yangzhou very well.

"Well, let's say you're right. But this is Qu County, the ground of Xuzhou Mansion, why is he a bully in Yangzhou so arrogant? Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Song Yunfei walked in with a smile and replied, "It's the officials who protect each other." ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at him and said, "Where have you been, I can't see anyone all day long." ”

"Hehe, Shu Yao, I found out about Guan Qiang." Song Yunfei sat down next to Nie Shuyao to ask for credit.

Nie Shuyao said with a cold face: "You went to Yihong Courtyard?" ”

Song Yunfei didn't feel the chill, he just thought about inviting credit, and said with a smile: "If you don't go to Yihong Courtyard, how can you check that Guan Qiang?" How do you know about Little Pink's ambitions? ”

Nie Shuyao suddenly smiled at him and said, "Is the girl in Yihong Courtyard beautiful?" ”

Song Yunfei still didn't feel anything else, but said: "It's not beautiful at all, if it weren't for the investigation of the case, it would be better to have tea at home with Shu Yao." ”

"Huh!" Nie Shuyao sneered.

"Hey, hey."

Song Yunfei also smirked, so anxious that he pulled the corners of Song Yunfei's clothes again and again, and his young master became a fool next to Miss Nie.

This scene saw Mrs. Li taken aback, and tried to ask Song Yunfei, "Does Childe want to find a matchmaker, do you think I will be your matchmaker?" ”

"Ahem!" Nie Shuyao hurriedly interrupted, "Matchmaker Li, you just said that there were four other matchmakers when you went to Yihong Courtyard with you, are you willing to invite them here now." Rest assured, I'm safe here, and you can stay here from now on until the case is over. ”

Mrs. Li is very good at reading people's faces, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be a matchmaker, knowing that this girl was annoyed by what she asked just now. Hurriedly smiled: "Okay, with me with you, they will definitely be willing to come." Everyone is scared, so let's close the case. It's best to find out the guy who beat Hao Matchmaker, that Gu's mother is not a good thing...... ”

She said a lot of things again, Nie Shuyao looked at the sky, it was not too late, so she quickly interrupted Mrs. Li's words and said, "Brother Feng, Lengzi, Xiaoqing, a few of you will go with Mrs. Li to invite someone." Take the car of the Second Artillery, remember that this matter must not be made quiet. ”

The brothers understood Nie Shuyao's mood very well, and pulled Mrs. Li out of the door.

Then, Nie Shuyao said again: "Xi'er, you go to the county government with Da Niu, tell the county master about what we found today, and listen to his opinion." Then come back and sue me. ”

Nie Tianxi and Da Niu also left.

Then, Nie Shuyao said to Jiang Yi again: "Brother Jiang, please ask Jiang Xiaoluo and ask him to check if there is a person named Guan Qiang who has talked to their Jiang family about the coal recipe during this time." Since this Guan Qiang is a businessman, Qingmei said so, then one of the purposes of his coming to Qu County must be to make money, and it is better to inquire about this matter. ”

"Okay, I'll go find Xiao Luo." Jiang Yi turned around and left.

Jiang Wan'er glared at Nie Shuyao, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and no one could hear the words, and followed Jiang Yi with a cold snort.

Nie Shuyao smiled, she could understand the lip language and understood what Jiang Wan'er said, that is, "Stepping on two boats, bad woman!" ”

"Shu Yao, what are you laughing at?" Song Yunfei asked innocently.

"Humph! It's nothing. Nie Shuyao said angrily, she was angry in her heart, and all of it was sent to Song Yunfei, who automatically hit the muzzle of the gun.

Nie Shuyao gave a lot of tolerance to Jiang Wan'er, the spoiled eldest lady, but she didn't know how to spread rumors again and again, this is not good! In her opinion, Jiang Wan'er is not as cute as Pang Yujuan, who is completely arrogant to the end.

Thinking of Pang Yujuan, Nie Shuyao said: "Don't let Pang Yujuan know about this, I'm afraid she will do bad things." ”

Song Yunfei said: "Don't worry, Pang Yujuan is checking whether the Nie family is stuffing a concubine for her father." I heard that none of the concubines who came out of Yihong Courtyard dared to come to the door this time, and the huge housekeeper was very depressed about this. ”

"Well, that's good." Nie Shuyao doesn't care if anyone is depressed or not, as long as she doesn't come to make trouble for her.

Suddenly, she thought of her own industry, and she didn't know if this Guan Qiang had intervened, so she ordered: "Yuqin, you go to the Pencil Pavilion with Wu Niang, and ask Brother Hei Niu if our store pù has encountered this situation." If so, let him tell me about it. Walnut, you should follow suit. ”

"Yes, girl."

Two more were sent away. Only Nie Shuyao, Song Yunfei, Su Mao and Gui Yuan were left in the house.

Nie Shuyao felt relaxed and asked, "Brother Song, tell me what you inquired about." ”

Since Song Yunfei took over the case from the firm, he has been staring at Yihong Courtyard, and this work is not done by him.

"Shu Yao, what did Jiang Wan'er say when she left just now?" But he asked.

"I didn't say anything, just complained."

"Oh." Song Yunfei was a little disappointed, but in fact, he could also understand lip language.

Nie Shuyao gently pushed him and said, "What's wrong?" Hurry up and talk about it. Guan Qiang is still in Yihong Courtyard? ”

Only then did Song Yunfei cheer up and said, "Yes, that kid is singing every night." ”

"Getting to the point."

"Oh! Guan Qiang came from a business family in Yangzhou, the eldest in the family, the year before last he came out with a silver ticket to do business, and two years later he went home to compete with his brothers who earned the most silver, who is the new head of the family. That kid came to Yihong Courtyard in Qu County all the way to eat, drink and have fun, and soon hooked up with Xiao Taohong, only then was he instigated by Xiao Taohong to do so many bad things. ”

"Sure enough, it's little Pink, what does she want to do? This is clearly an act of self-harm, do you want Yihongyuan to bury her for her? Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically.

Song Yunfei sneered: "I heard that it is for Fengyue. ”

Nie Shuyao frowned, it was still Fengyue, and suddenly felt that this matter was very tricky.

"Are you interested in going with me tonight to find out what those concubines are talking about?" Nie Shuyao said.

Song Yunfei asked, "Shu Yao wants to do it secretly?" ”

"Well, secretly." Nie Shuyao nodded. R1152
