Chapter 17: Something Happened

Xiao Ying also thought about these.

She didn't have a clue, though.

As soon as Nie Xuan said this, Xiao Ying suddenly felt that her mouth was suddenly opened.

It turned out that the fog covered the eyes, and it seemed that a fresh breeze hit people in an instant, blowing away the fog.

"It's not early, we still have to go to the county office, let's go back first."

Xiao Ying followed behind Nie Xuan and went to find Xiao Xiucai.

Then the three of them went back to Wu's house together.

Wu Po shouted at her son to eat.

While instructing the 'long worker' Nie Xuan to fetch water and chop wood.

Nie Xuan's face darkened.

Xiao Xiucai shrunk her neck, not daring to refute her mother in person.

Xiao Ying smiled embarrassedly, folded her hands, and made a begging expression.

Nie Xuan snorted coldly.

I really obediently went to chop wood and carry water.

Xiao Xiu finished eating, and Nie Xuan's work was finished.

Xiao Ying also packed up.

The three of them went out together......

happened to meet the door of the courtyard next door wide open, and Zhao Huang went out slowly, Xiao Xiucai hurriedly stepped forward to help, he has always been grateful to Zhao Lame for taking in Wu Po, who is his mother's life-saving benefactor.

"Uncle Zhao, where are you going?"

“…… Go out and find that little bastard of the rats. ”

"The rats aren't at home? Where did it go? ”

Tie Guan Zhao scolded and said. "Who knows where he went crazy. Didn't come back all night yesterday. If I had known that he was an immature white-eyed wolf, I should have opened my eyes and watched him starve to death! ”

Xiao Xiucai didn't know how to answer.

Handed Xiao Ying a look of help.

On the side, Nie Xuan looked disgusted and walked forward past the two.

"Who's that? It's quiet. It's not easy for you to earn a few silver, but don't always be kind. Take in a girl, so that she can be used as a daughter-in-law in the future. What's the deal with having a man? ”

Nie Xuan turned around abruptly and glared at Zhao Cripple with a cold gaze.

Zhao Cripple is a strong outsider, a middle-class cadre, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

The body trembled, and the topic changed stiffly. "Wait until that boy gets there, I'll break his leg and see if he's still running around......"

"Uncle Zhao, don't be angry, although the rat is not very old, he is a sensible child. He's not going to run around. Maybe I went up the mountain to hunt game for Uncle Zhao. "That kid did go up the mountain to fight pheasants all day long, and Zhao's lame face really improved.

"It's time for Jing'er to go to work in the yamen. By the way, you can help me beg Jia to catch the head, and let him find the muddy boy of the mouse. ”

Xiao Xiucai nodded good-naturedly and promised to bring the words to him.

Zhao lame walked towards the forest with a limp.

He was going to ask the villagers who had gone to chop wood in the morning, but he didn't see his own muddy boy.

Xiao Xiucai was a little uneasy, and turned back on the road three times in one step.

Nie Xuan seemed to look down on him very much, and his eyes were full of disgust.

However, because of his self-perceived cold character, he didn't speak ill.

Compared with his arrogant appearance with a cold face and cold words yesterday, he seems much gentler today, especially when he talks to Xiao Ying a lot.

Xiao Xiucai was full of doubts.

Obviously, Nie Xuan stood outside Xiao Ying's door this morning, and he looked like a debt collector.

In the morning, the two of them just said a pillar of incense, and they could get rid of their previous suspicions, if Xiao Ying was not a girl, Nie Xuan was afraid that he would have to step forward and hook up with Xiao Ying.

Xiao Xiucai was a little unhappy.

But why was he upset, he couldn't figure it out.

So there was a lot of silence along the way.

Neither Xiao Ying nor Nie Xuan noticed Xiao Xiucai's unusual silence.

In Xiao Ying's opinion, although she has lived in the Wu family in the past few months, Xiao Xiucai has never taken the initiative to talk to her unless it is very necessary.

Now that she is walking one after the other, Xiao Xiucai's silent appearance seems very normal.

Along the way, Xiao Ying and Nie Xuan talked a lot. The two of them had their own guesses, and they just waited to see Yin Jiuming and the others, and then brainstormed.

Before he could enter the yamen, an errand officer came up to him.

I went to Yizhuang together yesterday, and it seems that my name is Lin Wei.

A total of four messengers accompanied him, and Jia Zhu jokingly called the four of them his four protectors.

"Xiao Xiucai, Miss Xiao, Nie Gongzi...... Something happened again. ”

Xiao Ying and Nie Xuan glanced at each other, Xiao Ying thought, sure enough. If the real culprit is not caught for a day, the matter will not be over.

Jia Jun even whimsically said that they were so strict in guarding against death, the murderer might be scared, and he would not come out to harm people again.

This is exactly Ah Q's logic.

Even in modern times, how many serial murder cases cannot be solved. A person, if he has tasted the taste of blood, will indulge in it and will never stop until he is caught and loses the ability to kill.

"Lin Wei, what's wrong?" Nie Xuan and Lin Wei are old acquaintances.

Lin Wei took a deep breath before speaking.

It turned out that another girl had been found who had been killed.

Jia Jun had already passed with the officials, and Yin Jiuming had already gone a little earlier than them.

He stayed to inform Wu Wenjing.

"Jia Tou said that if Miss Xiao and Nie Gongzi come together, they will go and have a look together, and maybe they can find some clues."

“…… Lead the way ahead. Nie Xuan didn't ask Xiao Ying's opinion, and ordered directly.

Xiao Ying turned around and followed.

Xiao Xiucai walked last. A little face was miserable and white, and his mouth was full of muttering about why it came out again.

He looked at Xiao Ying, who was walking beside Nie Xuan.

suddenly remembered that last time Xiao Ying asked him to ask Jia Jun if he could find her an errand in the yamen, she had to support herself.

He didn't dare to speak.

After all, Jia Jun has always been obsessed with Xiao Ying's amnesia.

Xiao Xiucai also felt that Xiao Ying, a little girl, could find some errands in the yamen.

It was he who was wrong.

He should have told Jia Jun earlier.

Perhaps, you can also find Yin Jiuming......

Xiao Xiucai walked a few steps quickly, and decided to ask for a favor for Xiao Ying in front of Jia Jun and Yin Jiuming for a while.

This is a work, let's replace Xiao Ying.

He really didn't want to have nightmares.

While hurrying away, Lin Wei told Xiao Ying and the others by the way that he knew the facts of the case.

The girl who died this time was surnamed Chu, and she was the daughter of the Chu family, a wealthy businessman in Fuyang. This Chu Qianjin is quite famous in Fuyang, and because she is the only concubine of the Chu family.

Since the end of the meeting, the matchmaker who came to the door to propose marriage almost flattened the threshold of the Chu family.

Master Chu has a high vision.

After careful consideration of the son-in-law candidate, he has not been able to choose a satisfactory one.

So that Miss Chu is seventeen years old and still in the boudoir.

It was her personal maid who found out that Miss Chu had an accident, she got up early in the morning, but served her own lady to wash.

Lift the bed curtain and find that your own young lady has died tragically.

The front chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, and half of the bed was stained red with blood......

The little girl was almost stupid.

screamed and summoned the rough envoy in the courtyard, and finally invited Master Chu.

Immediately reported to the official, Jia Jun received the news and rushed to Chu's house as soon as possible.

"This Chu family has a good reputation in Fuyang. The Chu family is in the grain business...... Master Chu is kind and kind.

The Chu family is also very righteous in doing business. A few years ago, we had a drought in Fuyang. The price of grain shops in the whole city has increased by 30%, and the Chu family has only increased by 10%. ”

Before arriving at the Chu family.

Xiao Ying and Nie Xuan already had a general understanding of the situation.

Miss Chu was killed, and in her own boudoir.
