Zhao Shuyan stepped forward, took a closer look, and really saw that there were a few silver tickets with clear red fingerprints printed on them, and turned around to give Xiao Nuan a look, hoping that she would quickly tell the origin of the silver tickets.

Xiao Nuan raised her hand to stop the family who rushed up, and said unhurriedly, "The old lady is angry, there is another inside story here, please let Xiao Nuan know that you are not too late to do it." ”

"Auntie, Xiao Nuan is pure by nature, and she will never be in league with that thief, you listen to her." Zhao Shuyan also persuaded him, turned around and said to Xiao Nuan, "Quickly explain the origin of the silver ticket clearly, and help my aunt and grandmother capture the real murderer as soon as possible." ”

"You speak!" Of course, Mrs. Zhao also knew that her children and grandchildren were not killed by this little girl, but she just wanted to arrest her for interrogation, and when she learned the traces of the murderer, she was willing to take the initiative to say it, which was better.

Xiao Nuan looked left and right, "This matter is very important, and I ask the old lady to retreat." ”

This is the inner courtyard of the Zhan family, and the old lady is not worried about Xiao Nuan escaping, so she raised her hand to let the servants and mothers-in-law retreat, and only the three of them were left in the house, so she urged again, "Speak!" ”

Xiao Nuan sighed, "It's a long story—"

The old lady glared immediately!

Xiao Nuan continued, "But I'll try to make a long story short. It's not that I deliberately concealed the origin of the silver ticket, but it is really unspeakable and unspeakable. ”

Old Madam Zhao's forehead jumped with green tendons, Zhao Shuyan covered his face with a fan, and sighed silently, I really don't know where this little girl's courage came from.

"On the fourteenth of this month, I ran alone to Ayaluofang to check the situation, and on the way home, I straggled into the alley and was caught. The man bound my hand and coerced me with a knife to send him out of the city, and I was under the control of men, and I had to obey. You see, this wound on my neck was cut by the man with a knife. ”

Xiao Nuan raised her head to reveal the obvious scar on her neck, and Zhao Shuyan also remembered the situation when Xiao Nuan smeared green herbal juice on her neck that day, "Grandma, my grandson was in Qinjia Village that day, and my grandson saw the wound on her neck, and it had not yet scabbed." ”

Before the scab has formed, it is a new injury, Mrs. Zhao urged Xiao Nuan with her eyes to continue, she knew that the person who caught Xiao Nuan might be related to the death of her children and grandchildren.

"After leaving the city, the man refused to let me go, and after walking a few miles, I met three people from the barracks, and the man pulled the horse into the woods in a panic, and I took the opportunity to startle the horse and ask for help, and after the officials from the barracks entered the woods, I took advantage of the man's unpreparedness, stepped on his foot and kicked him to escape, and the man was later caught by the officials." Xiao Nuan mainly emphasized his contribution to the capture of the thief.

"The officials recognized that the person who coerced me was a thief wanted by the imperial court for a reward of 100 gold, and they thought that I had made a meritorious contribution to the capture of the bandit, so they gave me a reward of 100 gold. But they did not have enough silver taels on them, so they gave me the three hundred taels of silver tickets that were found out of the bandits, and told me not to tell anyone else about this, so that the gangsters' accomplices who were wandering outside would seek revenge when they found out. So this matter is to my mother, I didn't tell it, only said that I was scratched by an embroidery needle on my neck. ”

Old Madam Zhao was silent, and Xiao Nuan continued, "I don't believe you take a closer look, are there only three silver tickets that Master Zhan took from you?" ”

Old Madam Zhao nodded slightly.

Zhao Shuyan's expression was slightly relaxed, if the evil bandit was really the murderer who killed his cousin and cousin, Xiao Nuan could be regarded as a favor to the Zhan family this time.

This little girl's luck is really good!

Old Madam Zhao asked again, "Who is the official's surname, and where is the evil bandit?" ”

Xiao Nuan really didn't know what the name of the depression was, "Xiao Nuan only knows that the eldest brother who sent me back to the village is surnamed Xuan, and there is an adult surnamed Yan, so I don't know if there are more." ”

Surname Yan? A figure flashed in Zhao Shuyan's mind, "But a little general who is less than twenty years old, has a cold jade face, and is intimidating to look at?" ”

Xiao Nuan immediately nodded, "It's him!" ”

Zhao Shuyan said to Mrs. Zhao, "This person is Lord Yan Shengyan, and his grandson had a relationship with him in the General's Mansion. ”

Old Madam Zhao asked anxiously, "Where does Lord Yan live, the old man will come to the door and kneel down and beg him to interrogate the enemy!" ”

Zhao Shuyan shook his head, "I don't know my grandson, but Lord Yan doesn't let Xiao Nuan mention it with anyone, presumably the thief is very important, so we can't come to the door rashly." ”

Old Madam Zhao sat down and didn't think about it for a while.

Xiao Nuan's eyes rolled, "Why don't I go to the General's Mansion to see if Lord Xuanqi is not there, and ask him to come over, first, to confirm that what I said is true, and secondly, to let the old lady inquire about the progress of the case?" ”

Old Madam Zhao's eyes lit up, "Miss Chen, let's rest here first, and let Shuyan invite you." ”

Xiao Nuan understood that Old Madam Zhao was afraid that she would run away, so she said to Zhao Shuyan, "Then there is Brother Lao Zhao, Xuan Qi, you have also seen it, it is the black-robed and solemn person who rode away in the south of the village that day." You tell him that Rhubarb's family is here, and ask him to come and prove my innocence, and if he has nothing important, he should come. ”

After Zhao Shuyan left, only Xiao Nuan and Mrs. Zhao were left in the house. Mrs. Zhao took the initiative to apologize, "Fang is an old man who is rude, and please don't blame Miss Chen." ”

Compared to the cold face when she first came, this is already a full courtesy, Xiao Nuan smiled and shook her head, "The old lady's behavior is human nature. ”

"The man?" Old Madam Zhao asked again.

Xiao Nuan shook her head, "I haven't seen him before, and I don't know who he is." However, listening to Lord Yan's words, that person must have committed a capital crime. ”

Old Madam Zhao nodded, ordered the servant to come in and clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and serve tea again, and talked with Xiao Nuan, but she repeatedly asked Xiao Nuan if there were any loopholes in her words and whether they were inconsistent.

The old lady's mood at this time was very understanding, and what she just said was true, so she was naturally not afraid, and she tirelessly talked about it over and over again.

Besides, when Zhao Shuyan arrived at the gate of General Jin's mansion, he asked the guards at the door to report inward, saying that he was looking for Xuan Qi beside Yan Sanye, and Yan Ming was Xuan Qi's friend Da Huang's family and had an urgent matter to find him.

Coincidentally, Xuan Qi happened to go to the General's Mansion to run errands, and he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth after hearing the report.

Friend...... Rhubarb's family......

Isn't that just a little warm or a little grass! Just talk about it, what is Rhubarb's family! It seems that he and Rhubarb are really friends, but these two girls are in a hurry, and he really can't stand idly by.

Xuan Qi did a good job and walked out of the house quickly, and saw a smiling little white face at the door, Xuan Qi knew that he was Zhao Shuyan, the smiling tiger of the Zhao family, a merchant in Jixian County, but he had not officially met and said hello. Xuan Qi arched his hand, "What is this brother looking for me?" ”

Zhao Shuyan invited Xuan Qi aside and whispered the matter. Xuan Qi nodded immediately, and he could emphasize, "This is indeed the case, since it is 'Miss Chen' who invited Xuan, then XX will go with you for this experience." ”

"That's very good." Zhao Shuyan saw that he was willing to go, so he relaxed and chatted as he walked, "Miss Chen asked Brother Xuan to report the name of Rhubarb, Brother Xuan is very familiar with Rhubarb?" ”
