Chapter 260: The Revenge of the Dead (8)
Shan Hongwei bowed to the ground at Nie Xiaohu, and said respectfully: "I have no relatives anymore, Uncle Yuan's name is the master and servant, but he is actually an uncle and nephew, I plan to live here, and our uncle and nephew will depend on each other for their lives from now on, begging the adults to intercede for us, help us redeem the house, and let us have a place to live." ”
"This is really a bit tricky", Nie Xiaohu said with a frown, "What they said is not unreasonable, since the current period has passed, they have the right to dispose of the pawn." ”
"Your Excellency, please help us!" , Yuan Yongfu knelt directly on the ground as he spoke.
"Uncle, don't do this, hurry up!" , Nie Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yuan Yongfu up.
"My lord, Uncle Yuan used the house as a total of twenty taels of silver, and now I have eighteen taels on my body, and there is a carriage in the yard, the body is red, it should be made of good mahogany, and the carriage can also be worth five taels, a total of twenty-three taels, so the extra three taels will be used as money, isn't it?"
Shan Hongwei almost cried: "My lord, do you just see us homeless? ”
"Wait! What did you just say? Nie Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What?" , Shan Hongwei looked at Nie Xiaohu with confused eyes, as if he was a little confused.
"You just said there was a red carriage?"
"Aang, yes!" , Shan Hongwei nodded.
"Where?"
"It's in Uncle Yuan's house!"
"Take me there!" , Nie Xiaohu seemed to be a little impatient.
"Okay, please come with me, sir!" , Shan Hongwei nodded, and supported Yuan Yongfu with one hand and walked towards the intersection in front of him.
When they arrived at the intersection, the two walked down to the right, Nie Xiaohu and the others followed closely behind, and after walking about 100 meters forward, the two turned into an alley on the right.
"It's time for adults!" , Shan Hongwei pointed to a house on the left side of the middle of the alley.
Nie Xiaohu looked at the house, the house is not big, the door is locked, the main house is a two-story small building, and there is a one-story blue brick house on the right side of the main house.
"Where's the carriage?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a slight frown.
"It's in the warehouse, I climbed over the wall to look at it when I found it yesterday evening, and I saw through the crack in the door of the warehouse that there was a carriage inside," Shan Hongwei pointed to the blue brick house on the right side of the main house.
As soon as Shan Hongwei's words fell, Nie Xiaohu had already climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and Cao Xiaohui and others also followed closely over the wall, seeing that Shan Hongwei and Yuan Yongfu were both looking at each other, and they didn't know why.
The door of the warehouse was also locked, Nie Xiaohu opened the door a crack in the door, looked inside, and then shouted: "Pry the door open!" ”
"Yes!" , Xue Fei agreed, and began to look around for the guy to take advantage of.
"Your Excellency!"
Yuan Yongfu shouted loudly through the courtyard door: "You don't need to pry the door, the key is under that flower pot on the windowsill!" ”
Nie Xiaohu looked at the windowsill, and sure enough, there was a very small pottery flower pot on the windowsill, Cao Xiaohui walked to the window in a few steps, picked up the flower pot, and a copper key appeared in front of him.
Opening the door of the warehouse, a red carriage appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and since the bridles had not yet been removed, the horse pulling the carriage was lying between the two wheels, and when he saw someone entering, the horse stood up with a snort.
"My lord, could it be that this is the carriage driven by the robber?" , Xue Feihu asked suspiciously.
"What do you say?" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to a wooden box in the carriage and asked.
"That's right! This must be the carriage! Xue Fei pointed to the word "Chen" engraved on the wooden box.
"This is something from the Chen family's pawnshop, it can't be wrong! I said that I couldn't find it everywhere, but it turned out to be hidden here! ”
After speaking, Xue Fei opened the wooden box violently, and the box was empty, not to mention silver, not even a chicken feather.
"Now that the physical evidence is here, I'll see what else he has to say!" , Xue Fei turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?" , Nie Xiaohu stopped him and asked.
"Go and arrest Yuan Yongfu!" , Xue Feile said hehehe: "Just his body bones, use two punishments, I'm not afraid that he won't move!" ”
As soon as Nie Xiaohu heard this, he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "How do you know that Yuan Yongfu did it?" ”
"Do you need to ask? He has a grudge against the Chen family, and now the carriage and the box containing the silver have been found in his house, who else would he be? ”
Nie Xiaohu sighed and said helplessly: "Then Yuan Yongfu doesn't even have the key to the door, how did he get in?" ”
"This?" , Xue Fei was speechless.
"If he was really a robber, would he tell us that the carriage was here?"
"It's too!" , Xue Fei scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Nie Xiaohu shook his head with a smile, walked out of the warehouse, bypassed the main house, and came to the backyard.
There was nothing in the backyard except for two jujube trees, and the ground was full of fallen leaves, apparently no one had cleaned them for a long time.
"Where's the other side?" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to the opposite courtyard separated from the backyard by a fence wall.
"Isn't that the Chen family's pawnshop!" , Xue Fei said.
"Chen's pawnshop?"
Nie Xiaohu stared at the backyard of the Chen family's pawnshop for a while, and suddenly slapped his head: "I understand, go!" ”
After speaking, Nie Xiaohu turned around and strode towards the courtyard gate.
"Understood, understood?" , Xue Fei frowned and muttered to himself.
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you will understand in a moment!" , Cao Xiaohui was happy, patted Xue Fei's shoulder, and followed quickly.
"I didn't know that the adults arrived, the old man was busy with family affairs, and he couldn't come to greet him, it's really a crime that deserves death, a crime that deserves death!"
As soon as Nie Xiaohu came to the door of the Chen family's pawnshop, an old man dressed gorgeously greeted him with a smile.
"My lord, this is Chen Huaijiang, the owner of the Chen family's pawnshop", Xue Fei hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.
"You are Chen Huaijiang?" , Nie Xiaohu looked the old man in front of him up and down.
"It's old decay," Chen Huaijiang said with a smiling face.
"Your robbed 1,000 taels of silver will soon be recovered!" , Nie Xiaohu walked towards the pawnshop as he spoke.
"Really? That's great! Chen Huaijiang's eyes lit up happily, and he followed behind with a fart.
Liu Wangjia and the other three who were in the counter hurriedly walked out when they saw Nie Xiaohu and stood aside with their heads bowed.
