"Rejoice and rejoice! Sun Zhutou, then the next thing will trouble you, and when the rest of the fugitive robbers are arrested, you will also have a great achievement! ”

"Hahahaha!" The two of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.

After completing the handover formalities and Sun Bingying escorting Chang Yongyi away, Nie Xiaohu slept beautifully until dawn.

Early the next morning, after Nie Xiaohu finished washing, the five of them were about to go out, when a young man dressed as a subordinate walked in.

"Nie Zhutou, I am a descendant of the Xue family, my lord passed away the night before yesterday, today is just the third day, in accordance with the master's will, the shopkeeper is waiting for you to go, and as soon as you arrive, he can read the master's will."

"Ahh , Nie Xiaohu patted his forehead, shook his head and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot about it, okay, let's go!" ”

In the hall on the first floor of the Xue family's gold store, the bustle was already crowded with people, including the Xue family's guys, subordinates, etc., as well as neighbors and people who came to see the excitement, people were chattering, and the main body of the discussion was without exception, who was the heir to Master Xue's estate.

At the head of the hall was a table with two small wooden boxes, one black and the other red, both locked, and five chairs side by side, four of which had an old man sitting on each chair, and the chair in the middle was empty. The shopkeeper of the Xue family was standing next to the table, looking at the door from time to time, with an anxious look, and suddenly, the shopkeeper's eyes showed joy.

"Let it, let it go, Nie Shen is here!" , the young man who led the way said loudly as he stretched out his hand to pull the crowd.

As soon as they heard that it was Nie Shenyu, everyone hurriedly gave way to a passage, and Nie Xiaohu and the others greeted everyone with a smile and walked into the hall.

"Nie Shenzhuo, please come up!" , the shopkeeper shouted.

Nie Xiaohu nodded slightly, walked to the stage, and the four old men sitting on the stage stood up one after another to salute Nie Xiaohu, Nie Xiaohu saw that the four of them were all well-known figures in Luoning County, and hurriedly returned the salute with a smile.

Nie Xiaohu and the four old men sat side by side on the chairs, while Shi Yuning and the others stood behind Nie Xiaohu.

"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet! The shopkeeper shouted loudly as he slapped the table.

Immediately, the hall fell silent, and the people listened silently.

"Today is the third day after the death of my master, that is, the day when his last words are read out according to the instructions of my lord before his death."

The shopkeeper of the Xue family coughed twice, and then said: "Today we are fortunate to invite Nie Shenzhuo, Master Zhang, Master Liu, Master Sha and Master Zhuang to come and testify. ”

Nie Xiaohu and the four old men stood up one by one and nodded to everyone.

The shopkeeper continued: "The master wrote a total of two last words before his death, which were contained in these two boxes, and the keys to the boxes were handed over to Master Zhang and Master Zhuang for safekeeping. According to the instructions of the old man before his death, the first thing to read was the last words in the black box, and asked Master Zhang to open the box. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper stepped aside, and the sitting Master Zhang nodded slightly, stood up and came to the side of the table, took out a copper key from his arms, first shook it to everyone, and then opened the copper lock on the black box, and then turned back to his seat.

The shopkeeper of the Xue family came to the front of the table, took out a piece of paper from the black box, unfolded it, and read it out loud: "I, Xue Chengfeng, have a long-lost younger brother, just because I did a wrong thing many years ago, causing the brothers to turn against each other, and they have not communicated with each other since. Now when I was dying, I repaired the book with him, hoping that he would come to reconcile with me and inherit my family business, but I was ashamed to see him, so I sent my most trusted steward, Ho Yingjie, to meet with him, and mediate, if my brother can forgive me, he will inherit my family business, if not, the chief steward Ho Yingjie will inherit the family business. After reading out this last word, He Yingjie announced the result of mediation in public, Xue Chengfeng. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper's words landed, the people in the audience became agitated and said everything.

"Quiet! Please be quiet! The shopkeeper shouted, and the hall fell silent again.

"Now please ask the chief manager He Yingjie to come to the stage to announce the result of the mediation!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at the audience, and a middle-aged man in the audience slowly walked up to the stage, his face was heavy, first bowed to Nie Xiaohu and others, and then bowed to the crowd in the audience, and then stood up straight and faced the people in the audience.

"The lord told me about it before his death, and sent me to mediate, I obeyed the order, and met the lord's younger brother, his name is Xue Chengyu, although I tried hard to persuade him, but unfortunately, his heart is still full of hatred, unwilling to forgive the lord, and left angrily, even the last side of the lord did not want to come to see, the matter is like this, I am useless!"

After saying that, He Yingjie's eyes were red, and his voice became choked, no one in the audience spoke, and they all looked at He Yingjie who was sobbing quietly on the stage, the hall was very quiet, but it could be seen that everyone in the audience had envious and jealous expressions written on their faces.

"Now, I'll read out the last words in the red box again, and ask Master Sha to open the box!" , the shopkeeper said loudly.

After the box was opened, the shopkeeper reached out and took out the second last words from inside, unfolded it and read it out loud: "My most trusted manager, He Yingjie, forgive me for making a big joke with you, I have a younger brother I made up, the purpose is nothing more than to test you one last time when I am dying, although I know that the result is positive, you will never lie."

I invited Hao Yihe from Zhuquan Village, pretending to be my so-called younger brother, to meet with you, and ask him to agree to reconcile with me, and to come and announce the results of the mediation, as long as He Yingjie did not lie, my family business will be inherited by him. Xue Chengfeng"

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, the crowd in the audience said, "Wow!" The pot exploded, and the voices of discussion came and went.

And He Yingjie, who was standing on the stage, first showed a shocked expression, then a face full of remorse, and then trembled.

Just when the shopkeeper read Hao Yihe's name, Nie Xiaohu's expression became solemn, and his eyes were fixed on He Yingjie's body.

"Hao Yihe! Is Hao Yihe here? The shopkeeper shouted loudly to the audience.

"No need to shout, he can't come!"

Nie Xiaohu said coldly, stood up and slowly walked towards He Yingjie.

"This?" The shopkeeper's eyes were full of doubt.

He Yingjie trembled and looked at Nie Xiaohu who was slowly approaching, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and finally, He Yingjie's eyes were dark......
