Chapter 148: Fucheng
Although it was almost time, everyone in the inn still left one after another, Nie Shuyao and his party retreated under the smile of Su Mao, and everyone set foot on the road to Fucheng again.
There was a murder in the Ruyi Inn, and Ji Changfeng led a group of officials and the parties to naturally have a lot of things to deal with, so they didn't set off together.
The businessman's uncle, surnamed Xu, had already regained his consciousness and could speak freely, and he did see his coachman enter the house in the middle of the night to steal things, so he was poisoned.
Although he couldn't run around physically, he also asked Nie Shuyao to hire a good doctor from Fucheng, and gave her two hundred taels of silver tickets for this. It's a good moneymaker!
In the car, Nie Shuyao took the silver ticket and looked left and right, this silver ticket was worth one hundred taels, made of mulberry paper, with beautiful patterns on it. She knew that these patterns were the anti-counterfeiting means of the silver number, but this was a silver ticket issued by Zhengtong Money Bank in Yangzhou City.
Zhengtong Money Village is a big silver number, there are semicolons all over the country, and wherever you hold their silver tickets, you can exchange them for cash.
"It turns out that the merchant uncle is really from Yangzhou, so why don't you know Feng Wuya, who is also from Yangzhou? Aren't they very famous pillars? Nie Shuyao muttered to herself.
Yuqin whispered: "Didn't they all say that those who sing on stage have to paint oil paint?" Maybe that's why. β
Nie Shuyao nodded, leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, this day and night are really tiring.
There is a lot of space inside the horse, with foldable seats on both sides and legs that can be stretched forward. In the middle is a small table, which can also be folded, and if you put away the table and open the seat, it is like a sofa bed that can be folded, and it is very comfortable to sleep on it.
"Still, miss, I'm a little worried." Yuqin spoke, her brows furrowed.
Nie Shuyao still closed his eyes and asked, "Are you worried that Lord Ji will not be good for us?" β
"Hmm." Parsley nodded.
Nie Shuyao sneered: "Don't worry, Lord Ji will listen to Brother Song's warning." β
When she thought of this, she became angry, and she completely despised Ji Changfeng.
The words had to start when they were about to leave the Ruyi Inn, and when Nie Shuyao was about to get into the carriage, Ji Changfeng came to see her off, and said something that made her angry in front of Wu Niang and others.
Ji Changfeng gradually returned to normalcy after being comforted by the officials, but he looked for Nie Shuyao at the first time and found that she had just turned around and returned to the room.
At this moment, he felt that this was the girl he was looking for, to have good looks, to have silver, to have silver, just look at the four-wheeled carriage. If she has the ability, if it weren't for her, the case wouldn't have been settled so quickly today.
So he really had a different mind, and he had mentioned it to Nie Tianxi before, since he didn't take the initiative to refuse, it was a door, so he brought it up when Nie Shuyao was about to leave.
"Girl, please stay, Ji has a few words to tell the girl." Ji Changfeng looked left and right and said.
Nie Shuyao knew that this might not be a good thing when she saw him like this, and she couldn't be alone with him, but fortunately, she put on her hat again at this time.
"Master Ji, please say something about it, the little woman listens." She said in a calm tone.
Ji Changfeng felt that it was best to talk about this matter when the two of them were alone, but the girl didn't feel embarrassed, and her servants were also present, so what she said should make her nod her head more.
"Ahem! In fact, Ji also mentioned this matter to Brother Ling last night, I don't know what the girl thinks? β
Nie Shuyao's eyelids jumped, and he immediately replied, "What do you think?" What do you think, this girl is a poor person, and she deals with copper odor all day long, what do you think Lord Ji can do? β
Her negative meaning was very clear, but Ji Changfeng thought that she was trying to fight for her status, and said with a smile: "Ji is not married, you can go back and discuss with your parents, but the concubine can still be allowed to ...... aunt." β
"Enough!" Nie Shuyao interrupted him, she felt insulted, concubine? What a promise.
When she spoke again, she felt cold: "Master Ji, there is no need to say more, although this girl is a poor person, she is also a girl from a good family." Concubine? Hum! You think too highly of me. With all due respect, it's not me that you're interested in, it's my financial resources and abilities, right? I'm sorry, this girl doesn't have anything else, but there are hard bones. β
Nie Shuyao boarded the car first, and after Yuqin also got into the car, he closed the car door.
"Wu Niang, go!"
Ji Changfeng felt that she didn't give herself face, and he was immediately a little annoyed, but watching the carriage start, he was reluctant to give up Nie Shuyao's ability to solve the case. Imagine if there is such a virtuous helper, will your official career be smooth?
"How about a flat wife? The flat wife is already ....... He took a quick step to the door and said.
Through the door, Nie Shuyao sneered: "Can't climb high!" Why should Lord Ji? Zhengyin County Commander like you, young and promising, will not have fewer proud wives and beautiful concubines in the future. Why bother pulling at the grass on the side of the road? β
"Why?" Ji Changfeng is still not giving up.
She looked up at the door and window, Xi'er, Song Yunfei, and Jiang Yi walked over with ugly faces, and said one more word: "I'm sorry, you're not my thing!" β
Then he said: "Wu Niang, why did the car stop?" Don't go yet! β
Nie Shuyao was afraid that if he looked at Ji Changfeng one more time, he couldn't help but take out the fire gun and give him a shot! Now that Song Yun has flown over, leave this matter to him.
finally gave Ji Changfeng a sharp look, and then lowered the curtain.
Wu Niang's whip was also raised high, the horse neighed, and the car ran out in an instant.
Ji Changfeng was almost taken down by the carriage, but his shoulder was tightly grabbed by Song Yunfei, and he sneered: "Brother Ji, I think you have forgotten something, why don't we talk about it properly." β
The threat in the words is obvious, Song Yunfei is really angry, this is really bold, he dares to let Shu Yao be a concubine, who do you think you are? Isn't it that you, the official, want to do it? Even he had never thought of it, and he really thought he was a character!
Even Song Qing and Leng Zi, who usually look at Nie Shuyao with scrutiny, felt indignant, if it weren't for the fact that he was still a sesame official, he would have stepped forward and beaten him all over the place.
Fortunately, at this time, the people who stayed in the courtyard were their own people, and the officials were also in the distance, and no one looked this way.
Ji Changfeng suddenly realized, only then did he know what kind of mistake he had made just now, and hurriedly apologized to Song Yunfei, he knew that this person may not have much power, but he can also make himself a petty official unable to do it.
But it's a pity in his heart, in fact, he wants Nie Shuyao to be a wife, just thinking about making her grateful to him, so he starts from the bottom.
But he didn't expect this to really anger Nie Shuyao, she grew up under the teaching of the Nie family, and there are ways to face the enemy head-on, and there are also dishonorable means, which angered her and she didn't mind letting Ji Changfeng taste the disgraceful means.
Nie Shuyao left angrily, Wu Niang could also feel her anger, and drove the car as fast as she could, only slowing down when she was about to reach Fucheng.
On the way, she poked her head out of the window, and it was sunset, and when she looked back, Nie Tianxi and the others were already about to follow.
"Wu Niang, it's okay to enter the city before dark, let's rest for a while."
"Whoa!"
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, the horses were eating the tender grass on the side of the road, they were also drinking water to moisten their throats, and so on for the people behind them.
Nie Shuyao sighed again, there is still no backstage, so she desperately hopes that her younger brother can show off his talents in high school, and then lift people and move forward.
If she was a sister who lifted people, Ji Changfeng would definitely think twice before saying this. But now their family is a poor person, and they still don't know that they and Xi'er are orphans, if they know, I'm afraid they will go directly to the door to rob it!
But next month, they will be able to announce that they are not the Nie family of Qu County, but if they encounter this matter again at that time, they can say that they have to keep filial piety for three years, which is also a good excuse.
I hope that in the next two years, Xi'er can go all the way.
Just as they were thinking about these things, Nie Tianxi and the others finally caught up.
She felt very relieved to see them, this is a friend, there is no robbery while the fire is hot, there is no mercenary, even Song Qing, who has always had a straight face, feels extremely cute.
"You're late!" Nie Shuyao waved at them, the smile on her face was bright.
Several of them are masters, and their eyesight is very good, and they know that she is okay when they see the smile on her face.
"Drive!" Song Yunfei urged him to step forward.
Jiang Yi was originally on a par with him, but for some reason he suddenly grabbed the reins, and the smile on his face gradually narrowed. It's a pity that everyone's eyes are on Nie Shuyao, and no one notices his changes.
Song Yunfei came to her and said, "Shu Yao, don't worry, the matter surnamed Ji has passed, and you should just treat this person as if you haven't met this person." β
"Hmm!" Nie Shuyao nodded, she really didn't care about it, and she was just angry.
The group talked and laughed, and after the horses rested, they galloped to the city again.
As Nie Shuyao expected, they closed the city gate and advanced into the city after dark.
Da Niu took the letter from Wu County's order, and after constant inquiry, he finally found the house he said.
According to Wu County's order, this house is the ancestral home of a friend of his, but this friend is still an official in the capital, and only an old housekeeper is left at home. Nie Shuyao and his entourage can move in with this letter.
This is also the way that Wu County Ling thanked Nie Shuyao for helping to solve the arson case of Desheng Building, and sent Da Niu to listen to her dispatch.
Nie Shuyao felt that it was also a county order, but why was the gap so big? Maybe one is that he used to be a Beijing official, and the other is just a reason for the small people. The vision is different!
The location of the house is very good, the four-wheeled carriage into the alley is not crowded at all, this house is at the end of the alley, a mottled vermilion lacquer gate tells its former style. The two stone lions guarding the gate also seemed to have lost their former majesty, and in Nie Shuyao's opinion, they were a little naΓ―ve.
The door creaked open, and out came a thin old man with all white hair, who looked at everyone with cloudy eyes and asked, "Are you ......?" β
Da Niu stepped forward and handed the letter from Wu County Order to the old man, and said, "Old man, we are here to stay. β
The old man looked at the letter and nodded, and there was a different look in his cloudy eyes, and said with a smile: "Come in." It turned out to be Mr. Wu's guest, slack, slack, please! βR1152
