Chapter 097: Fang Hua Passes Away
Nie Rong and Nie Yuan will look at her like a monster, how can any girl have the courage to talk non-stop to the corpse!
Seeing their cowardice, Nie Shuyao asked the old man of Yizhuang to cover the corpse with a cloth.
After taking off the gloves and putting them in a small cloth bag, Nie Shuyao asked again: "Second Master Nie can see clearly, who is this woman?" ”
Nie Rong frowned and said, "It looks like Xiaomei next to Lu Ping." ”
"Let's go, let's go out and talk again."
When everyone came outside, Nie Rong's uncle and nephew gasped fiercely, it was really scaring people to death in Yizhuang.
Nie Yuan looked at the two siblings, as if he knew them for the first time, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tried to ask, "So Luping is not dead?" Will my father be able to clear his name? ”
Nie Shuyao said: "It's hard to say, I need to talk to the people on both sides again." ”
"Two?" Nie Rong asked puzzled.
Nie Shuyao took a deep breath, looked at the direction of Juyue Lake, and said, "Li Putou, I deduced that Xiaomei was strangled to death in order to cover Lu Ping, which means that Lu Ping is in a very dangerous situation even if she is not dead now. ”
Then he looked at Nie Rong and said, "Second Master Nie, the Nie family has a small courtyard in Xishan, right?" Why don't you send someone to show Li Putou and them a way, just search near the courtyard, if Luping is still alive, she must be waiting for our rescue." ”
Li Putou nodded yes, and Nie Rong had no choice but to agree.
On the way back to the county office, Li Putou asked, "Miss Nie, how old are you this year?" How can you make such a living? ”
Nie Shuyao secretly said "not good" and glanced at Nie Tianxi, who was also weak-hearted. Smiled: "It turns out that this is the work of the resentment, I thought it was just a book without a cover." ”
"What book?" Li Putou asked again.
"When I was in Ewha Town, one year I came to the county with Xi'er to buy books. I saw a bundle of old books sold cheaply. We bought them all at a cheap price, and then ...... That's it all. Actually, what I did just now is what the book says. Nie Shuyao smiled again, revealing the smile that should be at this age.
Li Putou and Da Niu were dazzled by this smile, feeling that the scene she had just now in front of the corpse was fake.
"What's the name of the book?" Li Putou asked again without giving up.
Nie Shuyao said: "There is no cover, and it is much better to tear off the front and back." ”
"Alas! It's a pity. If we show it to Uncle Chenzuo, maybe we will have a better time in the future. Li Putou sighed. He asked again: "I don't know how Miss Nie judged that Xiaomei was killed two days ago?" ”
Nie Shuyao scratched her head, she is not a forensic doctor, she only knows a little about this autopsy. There is some confusion: "The book says that the corpse will harden within two quarters of an hour to an hour after death; After one day, it is completely stiff; It softens after a day, a night, and three hours. After three days, it will return to its original state, but it will be different if it is in the water or other environments. That's how I judge. ”
After listening, Da Niu and Li Putou didn't understand at all, and their two thick eyebrows wrinkled together.
Nie Shuyao smiled softly at them. "I don't know if that's right. I also asked Li Putou to go back and ask Uncle Zuo again, but is this the case? As for that book, I was not sensible at that time, and after reading it, I burned it as firewood, and I bought a lot of it for a little money anyway. ”
She was afraid that people would come to her to ask for books, so she directly cut off some people's thoughts.
Not long after, they returned to the county office, and Nie Yuan, Li Putou and the others went to Xishan.
Nie Shuyao washed her hands carefully. Follow the big cow to the cell again.
Today's Nie Xian lost his previous leisure, walking around the cell with his hands behind his back.
After Nie Shuyao came in. He looked at her with an ugly look on his face and asked, "Is there any progress?" ”
"That's Xiaomei, but Luping is also afraid that it will be more than lucky. If you want to get out of the cell safely, tell me everything you want, and don't hide anything. Nie Shuyao said in a deep voice.
Da Niu asked people to bring tables and chairs, and Nie Shuyao and Nie Tianxi sat down. Nie Shuyao asked, Nie Tianxi wrote, and the division of labor was clear.
Nie Xian complained in his heart, these two people were originally the chess pieces he prepared for the road to ascension, but now they have become his saviors, which is really ironic.
He looked at Nie Rong and said, "Second brother, what price did we pay?" ”
Nie Shuyao smiled, it had come to this point, and he was still thinking about his silver!
Nie Rong said: "Five thousand taels." ”
"This silver is of great use, you ......." Nie Xian's face turned red in a hurry.
Nie Shuyao said: "No matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to use it, Uncle Nie, do you know that Master Zhang is suing you for murder?" And the other party's master is Shen Xinlu, do you think you can get out of this prison? Or do you want to spend a few more thousand taels to buy your life? ”
The Nie brothers were speechless.
Nie Shuyao said again: "Let's say, our time is precious. ”
Nie Xian didn't expect that Zhang County's order would be so desperate, so he had to tell the truth.
In addition to Nie Xian's voice in the cell, it was Nie Tianxi's voice writing a book, Nie Shuyao listened quietly, and Nie Xian and Lu Ping's "hit it off" kept flashing in his mind.
Luping did escape from Beijing, and Xiaomei was the maid she picked up on the road. When she first arrived in Lu County, she was targeted by the people of Zhang County.
She underestimated the determination of the imperial historian in Beijing to chase her, and almost as soon as the palace found out that she was missing, the portrait of secretly arresting her was scattered all over the country, even a small county like Lu County. Because of this, Lu Ping changed her original intention and no longer looked for Wu County's Wu County Order, she was afraid that she would be affected by Wu County's order.
The family of Luxian Zhangxian Ling is also a big family in Beijing, and he has long known that the imperial history is very likely to be the governor of next year, and this Lu Ping, as the fugitive concubine of the imperial history, cannot be let go. This is a family ugly, and it can't be publicized for a royal historian.
Lu Ping is very smart, she knows that the county orders of Lu County and Qi County must have learned that she took something that the imperial historian should not take, so she set her eyes on Nie Xian, who was unscrupulous and wanted to climb up, but did not know the inside story.
At that time, Nie Xian happened to take leave to return to his hometown to handle his son's marriage, so the two had a chance encounter, and Lu Ping slightly revealed her identity as a concubine of Yushi. Nie Xian was really fooled. Try your best to steal her out of Lu County.
He had the same plan as Zhang County's order, that is, to sacrifice this fugitive concubine after the imperial history changed to the governor in the coming year. It's just that he still wants to send Nie Shuyao to the door when he sacrifices his concubine. Because this imperial history likes strange women.
It's just that heaven is not as good as people, and after Lu Ping came to Qu County, she wanted to find an opportunity to hand over the things she relied on to save her life to Wu County Order, but after hearing Nie Shuyao's deeds, she changed her attention. Although she had only met Nie Shuyao twice, she resolutely gave something to Nie Shuyao, which was the jade wrench.
Of course, these were all inferred by Nie Shuyao based on Nie Xian's narrative.
After reading Nie Xian's confession again, Nie Shuyao said, "Uncle Nie." When you ascended to the court, I hope you had better say that it was because of Luping's calculations that you brought her to Qu County. At the same time, she also has a little selfish thoughts, and she has always thought that she is the concubine of Zhang County Ling Xinna. wanted to send her to Zhang Xianling after Nie Yuan got married, so that he could be grateful to him, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen halfway. So. Can it be done? ”
She tries to keep things as simple as possible. It was simplified to the point that Nie Xian didn't know about the governor and the imperial history, and only regarded this matter as an incident where a concubine was trying to escape, so that the people on the side of the imperial history in the capital couldn't do anything to him.
Now, Nie Xian no longer thinks that Luping is just an ordinary runaway concubine, so he nodded in response.
"Let's go, Xi'er, let's go say hello to the county master again. By the way, go to Master Zhang's side. Nie Shuyao put Nie Xian's confession away.
Nie Rong suddenly said, "Then what am I going to do now?" My eldest brother ....... ”
Nie Shuyao looked at him and smiled: "Since we have received your money, we will do our best." Second Master Nie will go home first and wait for news. As long as Uncle Nie does what I say, he should be fine. ”
But he said in his heart: "However, it depends on the meaning of the people on the other side of the imperial history." ”
Thinking about it, they don't want to make things bigger with their secret identity, and the only variable is Luping. Let's hope she can escape, get away from the hustle and bustle, and maybe save her life.
The two sisters and brothers were led by Da Niu to the inner hall of the Yamen to see Wu County's order.
Wu Xianling's expression was also faint when he saw them coming, and it seemed that Luping's matter had a great impact on him.
"That female corpse is not Luping, you did a good job." After reading Nie Xian's confession, Wu County ordered.
Nie Shuyao told him about his plans, and Wu Xianling nodded in response, "I'll go tell the third party about this, I don't think it's a big problem, you go and communicate with Master Zhang." This matter can be small or small! ”
Only by turning things into ordinary small cases can Luping have a glimmer of life. She was irredeemed by the official family, which is also one of the reasons why the imperial history chased her tightly, and her original identity could not be exposed.
"Yes, thank you, sir." Nie Shuyao and Nie Tianxi saluted him again and thanked him for his cooperation in dealing with the Nie family.
Wu Xian Ling smiled at this time, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, this case depends on you young people." ”
Just as Nie Shuyao and the others were about to retreat, Li Putou hurried over.
"My lord, another female corpse was found in Juyue Lake."
"Bang dang!" The teacup in Wu Xianling's hand fell to the ground.
Nie Shuyao hurriedly asked, "Who found out?" ”
"It was found by a fisherman and sent to Yizhuang." Li Putou said.
Wu Xian Ling immediately came back to his senses and said sharply: "Take the resentment to the autopsy." Go too! ”
"Yes!"
The group hurried to Yizhuang non-stop, and it was already past noon, although they were hungry, no one thought of eating.
When he came to Yizhuang again and lifted the cloth, Nie Shuyao hid his face and cried.
Luping still hasn't escaped that catastrophe!
An autopsy was conducted by Chen, and Luping had no fatal injuries on her body except for abrasions, and died of drowning.
But Nie Shuyao looked at the face that was slightly deformed by the water, but she could still vaguely see her expression of relief.
"Luping, don't worry. One day, if I have the ability to bring down that Emperor, I will avenge you! Nie Shuyao silently promised her in her heart. (To be continued......)
