h2> although Nie Shuyao despised the "blackmail" behavior of Wu County's order in his heart, he still pulled Nie Tianxi to salute him respectfully.

"Thank you, sir!"

She is not very demanding in this world, that is, she has food and drink, and a job she likes to do; It's enough to watch Xi'er become famous, and then live her life so peacefully.

It's easy to eat and drink, and it's not difficult to have the foundation left by the Nie family, plus her intelligence; And his own little brother is also working hard, and he is already a talent. With her money to open the way, if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before she enters the officialdom.

The most difficult thing is to have a job she likes, not to mention that she is a woman in such a feudal society. Doing business to earn money is to live, but people can't live just for silver, right? Fortunately, the detective agency can finally open, and reasoning is the job she loves, and it is the spice of a calm life.

"Hehe, don't be polite, get up." Wu Xianling raised his hand to help them, saw them get up and said kindly: "Actually, such a ...... The firm is also good, but let Tianxi grow quickly. With the experience of solving cases, it will be of great help to your future official career. ”

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Well, thank you for your advice." ”

In fact, she also thinks so, even if she is a small county magistrate in a remote place, she will definitely encounter a case, which is also paving the way for Nie Tianxi's future.

"Oh, it's not okay to be old. I heard that Yongbo gave you that mansion? Wu Xianling said with a smile.

"This ...... In fact, Yongbo just wanted to find someone to pay money to repair the mansion. Nie Shuyao didn't say much, and said vaguely.

Wu Xian Ling continued: "Yongbo is very accurate in looking at people, and you can become the master of the mansion and your creation." The silver can be earned again, but there is only one house, so don't be reluctant to spend it. ”

"Yes, sir!" Nie Shuyao was a little depressed in her heart, could she still not want that mansion? In this vast and sparsely populated ancient world, there is no place to find a house to live in.

"I wonder when your office opened? After the opening, the old man must come and take a look. Wu Xianling said meaningfully.

The sister and brother glanced at each other, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, this was the rhythm of finding something for them to do.

"I wonder what your lordship commands?" Nie Tianxi tried to ask.

Wu Xianling waved his hand and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being, let's talk about it when you open, you have to open it early!" ”

Then, he waved that they could go.

The two left the county government in a nervous mood, and on the way they kept guessing what Wu County's order meant.

"Sister, did you say that the county magistrate wanted us to investigate the case?" Nie Tianxi guessed.

Nie Shuyao said: "Who knows? Anyway, if he gives us the case, we should practice it for you. ”

"That's right."

A few days later, Pù, the shop next door to Zhenweiju, was finally bought for 1,200 taels of silver. After a simple renovation, the detective agency opened.

The opening was very low-key, hung up the plaque written by Nie Tianxi, put two strings of firecrackers, and didn't invite any guests, and the office became a place.

The room of the sister and brother is on the third floor, and the second floor is for employees to live, and the current regular employees are only Shen Xinlu and Feng Wuya's master and servant. Song Yunfei is a soy sauce player.

The first floor is the office space, except for a large conference room is a few office rooms, and the others are reception rooms. Of course, there is also a place similar to a tea restaurant.

There is a backyard, and under normal circumstances, everyone travels through the back door, and the front door is the place where the door is open to welcome guests.

Most people are curious about such a fresh shop and don't know what it sells, so anyone who passes by will come in and take a look.

But when they really understood what they were doing, they shook their heads, "Isn't this nonsense?" There's really a lot of money and nowhere to spend it. ”

Three days later, no one entered.

Feng Wuya and Shen Xinlu are real employees, they are a little anxious, if they don't open, what will they eat in the future?

And the main owner, Nie Shuyao, is still waiting for someone, this person doesn't come, she is still unsteady in her heart.

This person is Wu County Ling, the ambiguity he said in the county government at the beginning made her feel bad, no matter what it was, it was always sad to remember.

On the fourth day of the opening of the office, Wu Xianling took Li Zhutou and Da Niu Weifu for a private visit.

The moment he stood on the windowsill on the third floor and saw Wu County's order, Nie Shuyao's heart was finally steady, no matter how difficult the case was, there were always clues to be found, and the unknown was the most terrifying.

On the first floor, Tiger Head and Moon Shadow were left to guard the door, and everyone went to the large conference room.

There is a large table in this room, surrounded by beautiful bamboo chairs, and a stove for boiling water and tea. Yuqin's job now is to serve everyone a cup of hot tea.

It's just that the paintings hanging on the wall are a little incomprehensible, this is painted by Nie Shuyao. There are three pictures, all of which are illusion pictures.

The first one is full of black and white circles, which are combined like moving whirlpools, and there is a feeling that you can't get out when you see it; The second is a pastoral painting, with clouds and grass, trees, houses and a few sheep, but after a special combination, it looks like an old man with a white beard, but then look at it, it is still the pastoral.

The last one is strange, like a kaleidoscope pattern, the colors are also varied, but the abstract is regularly arranged; But the eyes seem to feel that the painting is moving, and then the eyes are spent!

Wu Xian Ling said at this time, his eyes narrowed and squinted, looked and looked, and finally tried to put his hand up, only to realize that this was a random drawing. But as soon as I took it away, the painting moved again.

He turned around and asked, "Is this...... What's going on? ”

Nie Shuyao invited Wu Xianling to sit down, and explained with a smile: "Actually, it's just the difference between the graphics and the color, the little woman painted this painting for only one purpose, that is, the eyes will also deceive people, and what you see with your own eyes may not be true!" ”

Wu Xianling frowned and asked: "According to this, what you have heard with your own ears may not be true?" ”

"It's true, for example, ventriloquists can imitate a lot of people talking."

After getting the answer, Wu Xianling frowned even deeper and asked, "Then what should we believe?" ”

This question is too broad, Nie Shuyao said: "Believe in the facts and verify it with your heart." ”

She answered very well, and Wu Xianling finally laughed, picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and never looked at the paintings on the wall again. Looking too many of these paintings can make people doubt the reality of this world.

After a few cups of hot tea, Yuqin and the vegetarian cat also took down a few paintings that deceived people's eyes, and hung up the ink paintings of this era. As soon as the style of painting changed, everyone's hearts seemed to become relaxed.

Nie Shuyao asked at this time: "I don't know what ...... adults came this time?" ”

When the office opened, no one in the county government came to congratulate him, probably because his peers were enemies.

Wu County ordered: "It's a little trivial, it's not convenient for the yamen to come forward, but there are more and more people beating the drum and complaining, not that those stupid people are stupid, but that it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs." ”

Nie Shuyao smiled and said, "My lord, the commission fee we have here is very high. ”

Wu Xianling also laughed and said: "We said it at the beginning. ”

Knowing for a long time that dealing with the yamen would not be beneficial, Nie Shuyao tried his best to find a way to keep some interests, so he said: "We people also need to eat, so let's do this, if someone is looking for a lawyer, introduce us to Master Shen." ”

"Good!" Wu Xianling readily agreed.

Although Shen Xiangshi has not had a lawsuit during this time, he has already earned the coffin book, and he is thinking about being lazy, when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning and looking at Nie Shuyao, and whispered: "Let me take a break." ”

Nie Shuyao pretended not to hear and asked, "I don't know what the adults said about housework...... ”

Wu Xianling waved his hand for Li Zhutou to narrate.

Li Zhutou said: "This thing is strange, in the past month or two, many well-off families have come to the door one after another. ”

"It's a good thing to have a matchmaker come to the door?" Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically.

"But those matchmakers came to introduce concubines to those who were in charge." Li Zhutou was very depressed, because he was also one of those family members, so he couldn't afford to go home every day to face the strange eyes of his old wife.

"Really?" Nie Shuyao thought of Song Yan'er, could it be that someone introduced Jiang Xiaoluo to the concubine is not an isolated incident?

She originally wanted to stand up for Song Yan'er, but it was nothing to investigate this matter, so she urged: "Please Li Zhutou continue." ”

Li Zhutou continued: "This concubine should not be under the control of the yamen, but I have never heard of such a large-scale concubine in all these years. Some people refused, but some people half-pushed and half-accepted concubines on the spot, so that there were more family conflicts. ”

"What are they suing?"

"Sue the matchmaker to cheat money, and take the money casually. The woman of the building is a good girl, and the girl is forced to give them home. ”

Nie Shuyao exclaimed: "Could it be that it came out of Yihong Courtyard?" ”

Li Zhutou asked rhetorically: "How does the girl know that it is Yihong Courtyard?" ”

Nie Shuyao was a little embarrassed, and immediately replied, "Guess." Please go on to say, "But in my heart, I thought, apart from Yihongyuan, which green. Can there be so many people in the building? Could it be that Yihong Courtyard is ready to close?

Li Zhutou said: "This is not the worst, it's a big deal that these people are sent away on the grounds that a Qing official is constantly doing housework." But there is a matchmaker's business that must be decided. ”

"Huh? Officials are really going to find reasons. Nie Shuyao said casually, and after seeing Wu Xianling's eyes become sharp, he immediately changed his words, "Li Zhutou, please continue." ”

"There is a matchmaker who has disappeared, and it has been almost half a month, so I'm afraid it's more than lucky."

Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically: "Aren't the matchmakers all busy looking for concubines?" Why are people still missing? ”

Da Niu interjected at this time: "That matchmaker is a good matchmaker, she is the one who connects my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and she is also the one who connects my father and mother." Or give it to Li ....... ”

"Ahem!" Li Zhutou coughed urgently.

Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, she understood, and she was also the one who pulled the strings for Li Zhutou. said: "This matter is really not suitable for people in your yamen to come forward, but I will take this matter." ”R1152
