Nie Shuyao sneered, it's strange if there is no trouble? Master Zhang of Nalu County has always thought that Luping is in Nie Xian's hands.

"Oh, does this have anything to do with our brother and sister?" She asked softly, the smile on her face just right.

"It's ......." Nie Rong and Nie Yuan looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and the two felt ashamed. They didn't need her help, but she had to do it.

Yu didn't care about that, and still said as a matter of course: "Didn't you promise it, this girl, how can it be okay?" ”

Nie Shuyao was extremely disgusted by this kind of self-centered speech in everything, looked at Yu Shi coldly, and replied: "I didn't say this, I just said to do my best." But Uncle Nie won't let me interfere, so we can't do anything about it! ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang screamed, pointed to her nose and said, "What do you mean you can't do your best?" Was your previous promise just to deceive my family? Sue you, if my lord has three long and two short, you don't want to get your hands on that statement or something! ”

Then, Huang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and cried.

Li Wei on the side kept comforting her, and there was a boy about six years old next to the Huang family, who was probably also a child of Dafang.

"Humph! It's not what I said, it's that your uncle doesn't need a candidate like me. It is said that there are many capable people in Qu County! Nie Shuyao said unhurriedly.

Nie Tianxi immediately added: "This is called lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, and asking someone to help is not such an attitude." Even the people in the market know that they have to talk pleasantly, and the Nie family, who has been rich for several generations, might as well eat green vegetables and tofu. ”

Nie Shuyao continued: "This master still needs to polish the pen and silver." Second Master Nie has invited a master for a day, and he also understands this cost. ”

"Miss Nie is right." Nie Rong readily admitted, and his face showed an open expression.

But the ladies of the Nie family didn't think so. First of all, Yu jumped up and asked, "Are you a master?" Still need to polish the pen silver? So what is my family's golden step? ”

Nie Shuyao said sharply: "Jin Buyao is my mother's thing, what do you say this is?" Besides, how did my brother and I come to the Nie family, don't you ask yourself, don't you want to exchange our fatherless and motherless orphans for Uncle Nie's official career, I just ask, why are you? Can we be so bullied if we are orphans? ”

Such a harsh question. made all the female dependents speechless, and by now, the Nie family has understood why they are welcome to the Nie family.

She looked at Nie Rong and said, "Second Master Nie." Don't tell me what troubles Uncle Nie is in again, I'll put down a sentence here, if you agree, I will take the case; If you disagree. Don't say anything. I don't want to listen either. ”

Nie Rong pondered for a moment and nodded solemnly: "Miss Nie, please speak!" ”

Nie Shuyao felt that Nie Rong was a bit of a successful businessman, and said loudly: "First of all, come with us to the county office tomorrow to do a notarization." Secondly, I took over the case and asked for 5,000 taels of cashiers! ”

"Why don't you grab this!" The women scolded her in a gossiping manner, and the distressed look seemed to rip out their hearts, and even the always reserved Ruan stood up.

Only Li Wei frowned. Although he also had a painful expression on his face, he didn't say anything.

Nie Shuyao said coldly: "Five thousand taels for Uncle Nie's life is not expensive!" ”

One sentence choked everyone and didn't dare to say more. If it is expensive, then don't you say that Nie Xian's life is not worth five thousand taels? If it is cheap, it is even more not, five thousand taels has already shrunk most of the Nie family's cash.

The Nie family's annual gross income is at most 10,000 taels, and after removing various expenses, it is far less than it seems, and it is good to have a net profit of 5,000 taels a year, but these 5,000 taels are the cash of selling two grain and rice shops, can you not feel distressed?

Yu brushed his forehead, tried to keep himself from fainting, glanced at the audience, and finally said, "Second brother, you decide." ”

Nie Rong glanced at Ruan, who looked unwilling, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! It's done. But, my eldest brother has to return home safely! ”

Nie Shuyao said seriously: "As long as you are honest with me and cooperate with me, there is no big problem in thinking." ”

This time, apart from Huang's muttering a few times, no one spoke.

"Okay!" Nie Rong agreed.

Nie Shuyao sat down and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, she had an intuition that the five thousand taels were not so easy to take.

Nie Tianxi asked, "Second Master Nie still said that Uncle Nie has any trouble." ”

Nie Rong glanced at Nie Yuan, frowned tightly, and said, "In the afternoon, someone in the county government reported that a female corpse was found by the river, and the clothes on her body were the same as those of Lu Ping. ”

"What?" Nie Shuyao got up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell on the table. She didn't want to believe that the miserable woman was really dead?

She looked at Nie Rong and asked, "Are you sure it's Luping?" ”

Nie Rong wiped the cold sweat on his face and said, "We haven't been to Yizhuang to see it, but listening to the description of Catch Kuai, it looks like Luping." ”

"Alas!" Nie Shuyao sighed, "It seems that these five thousand taels are not easy to take." ”

Yu immediately jumped out and said, "We said just now, it's just five thousand taels!" The second child pays the silver ticket, and our Nie family is creditworthy. ”

"That's it, that's it! Second Uncle is bothering you. Huang agreed.

Ruan's face on the side was pale, this was all her silver, the Dafang family never cared about business, but most of the money they earned was used by them. Despite this, her good cultivation allowed her to endure this breath, but the shadow of division was buried.

Nie Rong was also afraid that things would change, but he ran all over the homes of various masters, and when people heard that they were fighting against Shen Xinlu, they waved their hands and shirked it. Originally, they wanted to invite Shen Xinlu, but they were invited by Master Zhang first.

The only thing left was Gao Yuan in the neighboring county, and he readily agreed, but because it was too refreshing, and because this person was defeated in the county government twice, Nie Rong felt unreliable.

When Nie Shuyao took the silver ticket given by Nie Rong, he understood what Li Wei said that day, and he would not die if he did not reach the Yellow River. She raised her eyes to look at Li Wei, whose expression was faint.

Nie Shuyao knew. This silver ticket should be the bottom of Li Wei's box.

"Second Master Nie, come with us early tomorrow morning to the county government for notarization, and then go to Yizhuang for an autopsy. Can the woman's body be in Yizhuang? She asked calmly.

Nie Rong and the others of the Nie family all had their hearts and minds, especially the Yu family, who had completely given up the idea of using Nie Shuyao to change officials for her eldest son. Speaking of how a person with a calm face at the autopsy is easy to manipulate, fear, uneasiness, etc., makes her heart beat faster.

"It's in Yizhuang, and we're ...... Gotta go? Nie Rong asked.

"Of course, you have to go. To confirm whether the female corpse is Luping, you have to see it from someone who has dealt with her. After Nie Shuyao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

This made Nie Rong wipe a cold sweat again. His mind was full of all kinds of questions, and his head was a little dizzy. But Yu fainted earlier than him, and Ronghuayuan was in chaos again.

Return to Qinyuan. The siblings revisited the case.

Nie Shuyao wanted to open her mouth several times to tell her brother about the jade wrench, but she swallowed it again, this jade wrench was not a good thing, and she didn't want Xi'er to be involved in these disputes.

"Sister. You seem to have something on your mind. Nie Tianxi said suddenly.

Nie Shuyao smiled. "yes, I hope that's not Luping."

Nie Tianxi nodded in disbelief, "Sister, rest early, we have to go to the county government early tomorrow morning." ”

Nie Shuyao felt warm in her heart, and she was worthy of growing up with her. In fact, she is only a little more than a year older than him, and her birthday is when the pear blossoms are in full bloom, while Xi'er's birthday is when the pear fruit is ripe.

On the bed, Nie Shuyao slept very unpeacefully. If you close your eyes, you can see the green pinching wandering in your mind.

"Miss Nie, the jade wrench finger is kept by the girl. Luping believes. With the ability of a girl, she will one day unlock the secret of the jade wrench. ”

Luping smiled, her face was beautiful.

Nie Shuyao stepped forward to ask her a few words, but as soon as her hand touched her, her face began to collapse, so that Lu Ping's body turned into Dao fragments.

"Ahh Nie Shuyao screamed and sat up suddenly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?" Yuqin was preparing breakfast outside, and when she heard this, she hurriedly ran over.

Nie Shuyao wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, listened to the birdsong outside, and whispered: "It turned out to be a dream." ”

However, this dream really does not bode well.

Touched the jade wrench hidden in the deep clothes, what the hell is this?

In the county office, Nie Shuyao happily put away the notarial certificate that belonged to her, and looked at the big red seal on the notarial deed, and finally put down the big stone in her heart. This notarial deed is in triplicate, one of which is backed up by the county government, so that it is authoritative.

"Second Master Nie, please announce our identity to the outside world according to the date above." Nie Shuyao reminded again.

Nie Rong didn't understand why the date was written in June, so he had to nod his head.

Subsequently, Li Putou and Da Niu took them to Yizhuang.

The public trial, which was originally planned for today, was postponed. It's just that the defendant Master Zhang handed over another piece of pleadings, accusing Nie Xian of killing people and killing his mouth.

Whether this is the case or not, let's look at the corpse first.

When they came to Yizhuang, everyone felt that the weather was colder.

It's almost the end of November now, and it's about to enter the wax moon, and there is no such unpleasant smell in Yizhuang. But Nie Shuyao's sister and brother still brought homemade masks, and even Da Niu and Li Putou also had a pair.

They were led to the corpse by the old man of Yizhuang, and when they lifted the white cloth that was covered, Nie Rong and Nie Yuan's uncle and nephew actually closed their eyes and retreated.

Nie Shuyao and the others looked at them fiercely with disdainful eyes, and then stepped forward.

The corpse was deformed by the blisters, but was generally recognizable. After just one glance, Nie Shuyao knew that this was not Lu Ping, and her heart was a little relieved.

Nie Shuyao took a cursory look at the corpse with her homemade leather gloves, and said as she looked at it: "The deceased is a female, under the age of fourteen. It was soaked in water for about two days. ”

She looked at the corpse's neck again, there was a visible pinch mark, and said, "It was strangled to death and thrown into the water." I don't know which side of the water? ”

Everyone saw that she was just pressing on the corpse, and they could judge so much by picking up her arm and looking at it, and it was extremely close to what she said. I don't know what to say for a while.

"Li Putou?" Nie Shuyao asked again.

"Ah, it's Juyue Lake at the foot of the West Mountain." Li Putou woke up from the shock.

Nie Shuyao looked at Nie Rong and asked, "Doesn't Second Master Nie say something?" (To be continued......)
