Nie Xiaohu held his chin with his left hand, and his index and middle fingers of his right hand were rhythmically tapping on the table.

"Oh, by the way, and the king!"

"Mother Wang?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows were furrowed.

"Yes, Wang Ma!"

Yang nodded and said: "One night last month, a thief entered my house, but was discovered by the subordinates and caught on the spot.

The thief's name is Zhao Pengtao, and his family lives by the Luoshui River, and the old man sent someone to find him according to the address he said. ”

"Is it Wang Ma?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Not bad at all!"

Yang nodded and said: "Mother Wang went to my house, and when she saw Zhao Pengtao, she was very angry, and she was beaten on the spot, and finally the mother and son hugged their heads and cried. My lord felt pity and agreed to let him go, but he had to take Zhao Pengtao to write a confession on the spot and sign it.

The lord put away the confession, and promised him that if he sincerely repented and did not go to prison for half a year, he would return the confession to him. Wang's mother is also grateful, thanks to the master, and volunteered to go to my house as a slave for half a year to redeem his son's fault, the lord did not allow, but could not resist the bitter pleading of the king's mother, and finally the lord promised to let her take care of the house used to escape the summer in Zhoushan.

My lord, do you think Wang Ma will hold a grudge because of this? ”

"Well, I know, I'll consider this matter, madam, you go down first."

Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked Shi Yuning to send Yang back to the living room and call Shunzi up.

"The little one has seen two adults!" As soon as he entered the door, Junko was busy bowing down.

"Sit down!" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to the chair opposite.

"The little ones don't dare, just stand the little ones", Junko stood beside the chair respectfully with her hands down.

"Tell me how your young master was injured!" , Nie Xiaohu leaned back and cocked Erlang's legs.

"Yes, sir!"

Junko bowed deeply and said, "Here's how it ......."

After listening to Shunzi's story, which was no different from what the Yang family said, Nie Xiaohu nodded, and asked casually: "I heard that Kou Yuanwai deducted your monthly money for ten days?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes? ”

Shunzi nodded casually at first, then let out an "ah", raised his head to look at Nie Xiaohu, and his face was full of shock.

Nie Xiaohu smiled and said, "Tell me why I want to deduct your monthly money?" ”

"It's... That is true. ”

Junko lowered her head and muttered: "The day before yesterday, the master asked me to buy tea, and I was about to buy a silver-haired hairpin, but I didn't have enough money in my hand, and... It's almost, so I'll ......."

"How are you?"

"I falsely reported two coins of silver to the account office and bought the hairpin, I don't want the master to know about it, so I will deduct my monthly money", Junzi pinched the corners of his clothes with his low hanging hands, and his lips were bitten and turned purple.

"It's quite honest", Nie Xiaohu nodded, "Then can you hold a grudge against Kou Yuanwai for this?" ”

"No grudges! No grudges! ”

As soon as Shunzi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said hurriedly: "This is what I deserve, and I should be punished, and the old man's punishment is not heavy at all, I grew up in the Kou family's family since I was a child, and the old lady has always treated me well, I can't be grateful, where will I still hate the master!" ”

"That's it!"

Nie Xiaohu nodded, and asked casually, "By the way, are your crossbows and feather arrows specially customized?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"How many arrows are there?"

"Five."

"Alright, you go down!"

After Shunzi went down, it was Li Guanyu's wife Meng Shi who came up, and after Meng Shi entered the house and sat down, he had a calm expression on his face, and there was also a little bit of schadenfreude.

"Mrs. Li, what do you think of Kou Yuan's behavior?" , Nie Xiaohu got straight to the point as soon as he came up.

"So-so! Our two families don't come and go very often, so we don't know very well," Meng replied casually.

"Oh? So so? ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Why do I think you seem to dislike him?" ”

"How did you ......", Meng Shi consciously said that he had leaked his mouth, and quickly changed his words: "This is what you said, I didn't say it!" ”

"Okay, I said it", Nie Xiaohu smiled and nodded.

"You spent a lot of extra money on the last business with Kou Yuanwai, right?" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly asked.

"Isn't it, it cost an extra three hundred taels of silver!" Meng Shi glared at him and raised three fingers.

"You... How do you know? Meng Shi felt a little out of shape, and whispered a little embarrassed.

"Do you think there's anything else you can hide from us?"

"Actually, there's nothing to hide!" , Meng seems to have come to the spirit again.

"That's what it was! The price that was agreed in advance, he said that it would change, and we lost three hundred taels in vain. That is, my master is easy to talk to, don't worry about him, and I am a woman, otherwise I have to reason with him! ”

"Alas!"

Meng Shi sighed, and his tone made another 180-degree turn: "Now that there are no more people outside the Kou Yuan, what's the use of caring about this?" Forget it, people die greatly, and the past will not be mentioned! ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, and then asked, "Mrs. Li, you chatted with Mrs. Kou in her room, and what did you do during the time she went out to the toilet?" Or what do you hear or see? ”

"Mrs. Kou going out to the toilet is just a pillar of incense or so, what can I do? It's just sitting in front of the window and looking at the lake, and as for the movement, I really didn't hear or see anything," Meng shook his head.

"Okay, Mrs. Li, you can go out", seeing that he couldn't ask any valuable clues, Nie Xiaohu immediately waved his hand.

Meng Shi stood up, said a blessing to Nie Xiaohu, and then turned around and went out.

The next one to come in was Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu moved the lotus step lightly, and after bowing his body, he sat down slowly, his eyes were still a little swollen, obviously he had cried bitterly.
