"It's the same as yesterday when you gave your brother a duck, starting with buying those thirty ducks!"

"Oh", Ma Hongtao nodded, frowned and thought about it, and then said, "That's the case, my lord Zhuang is going to put the full moon wine tomorrow, and his precious grandson will be full moon tomorrow, and he wants me to make thirty servings of roast duck, so I went to buy thirty ducks and came back, in fact, I can't use so many ducks to make thirty servings of roast duck." ”

Ma Hongtao's face turned red, and the expression on his face gave people a feeling of being a thief, and then whispered: "I thought that Hong Yun's family was more miserable, so I called him and secretly gave him a duck that didn't look very good, and that's it." ”

"No... It's not illegal, right? Ma Hongtao asked in a low voice.

Nie Xiaohu smiled, shook his head, and asked, "Who did you buy those thirty ducks from?" ”

"I bought it from Sister Su."

"Sister Su?" , Nie Xiaohu repeated.

"Oh, her name is Su Cuiyu, she lives in the west of the city, she raises ducks all year round, we know each other very well."

Nie Xiaohu nodded, and asked again, "Then how did you choose the duck?" I mean, the one you gave your brother with a red string on his foot? ”

"I just saw that the duck was not in good spirits, a little sluggish and wilted compared to other ducks, so I chose it."

After Ma Hongtao finished speaking, he muttered again: "Why do you also ask that duck?" ”

"How?" , Nie Xiaohu's eyes lit up, "Who else asked that duck?" ”

"Sister Su's younger brother, his name is Su Ziyang, he went to me just after noon yesterday, saying that her sister sold a duck he raised to me and wanted to buy it back, and he was talking about the one with a red rope tied to his feet."

"Oh?" , A smile appeared on the corner of Nie Xiaohu's mouth, "Then how did you answer him?" ”

"Of course I said I didn't see it, the duck had already been given to my brother, how could I sell it to him again, so I told him that I would go back and look for it carefully, and let him come back tomorrow, I thought about finding a duck at random, and tying it with a red rope to deal with it."

"Excellent! Very good! Nie Xiaohu was happy, and said a few "very good", which made Ma Hongtao a little confused.

"You rush to Master Zhuang's house now, I will buy a duck, and then tie a red rope to the duck's feet, if Su Ziyang comes to ask again, you will sell this duck to him, understand?"

"Oh", Ma Hongtao nodded a little confusedly, and then shook his head again.

"You just do what you have to do as usual, then Su Ziyang is here, you say that you found the duck, he wants to buy it back, you sell it to him, it's as simple as that, understand?" , Nie Xiaohu said patiently.

"Got it!" , Ma Hongtao nodded heavily.

……

"Brother Ma, it's early!" Outside the kitchen in the backyard of the banker's house, a young man looked at Ma Hongtao with a smile.

"Morning! Su Ziyang, came over so early? Ma Hongtao returned with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Ma, haven't I been thinking about my baby duck, I raised it since I was a child, and my feelings are deep, I went out yesterday for a little while, and when I got home, I learned that my sister sold the duck and sold it to you together, I feel so distressed!"

As he spoke, Su Ziyang's eyes began to reddened slightly.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad, I found your baby duck, fortunately I haven't killed it yet, isn't this good?"

Ma Hongtao turned around with a smile and walked out of the house carrying a duck's neck, the duck's legs were kicking wildly, and a red rope was tied to one foot.

"That's right! That's it! ”

As soon as Su Ziyang saw the red rope, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the duck, for fear that it would fly, and hugged it tightly in his arms as if it was flying, and kissed the duck head twice.

"I've found you, my good girl~~~"

"Okay, okay, it's half a penny, hurry up and take your baby duck away!" , Ma Hongtao waved his hand outward and said half-jokingly.

"Hey!" , Su Ziyang hurriedly reached into his arms, took out half a hanging money and handed it over.

"Don't give it to me, go to Mr. Bookkeeper, I'll tell him, it's that room!" , Ma Hongtao pointed to a side room in front of him.

"Hey! Ay! Look at my brain! Su Ziyang happily hugged the duck and ran towards the account room.

"Brother Ma, you're busy, see you later!" After Su Ziyang came out of the account room with the duck in his arms, he waved at Ma Hongtao and walked out of the back door.

Out of the backyard of the dealer's house, Su Ziyang immediately quickened his pace and trotted all the way towards the city gate......

"Brothers! The duck is back! In front of a wooden house outside the city, Su Ziyang shouted loudly.

The door of the wooden house opened, and a young man stood inside the door and beckoned to Su Ziyang, who understood and quickly slipped in with the duck.

"Phew!" With a bang, the door of the hut slammed shut again.

"Now I'm finally going to get rich! Hahahaha! ”

There was a loud laugh and the sharpening of knives with the sound of "hoho", interspersed with the chirping of ducks.

At this moment, just listen to the "Bang! With a loud bang, the door of the wooden house was kicked open, Nie Xiaohu and others appeared outside the door, and at the same time, dozens of soldiers surrounded the wooden house, and dozens of bows and crossbows were aimed at more than ten young people who were panicking in the house.

"Come out!" , Nie Xiaohu smiled coldly.

The dozen or so people in the house looked at each other, and then they all sighed one by one, lowered their heads, and walked out of the wooden house with a dejected expression......

"Outside the sandman, the ring you were robbed of by the robbers has been recovered, and all the robbers have been caught!"

In the living room of the Sha family, Nie Xiaohu smiled and handed a gemstone ring glowing with blue light to Sha Liming's hand.

"This?" Shalimin's eyes widened in surprise and he took the ring.

"I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it", Sha Liming shook his head again and again and said, "Nie Zhutou, you are really quick to solve the case!" ”

"It's my duty to maintain law and order," Nie Xiaohu said with a smile, "Take a look, is there any damage to the ring?" ”

"Don't look at it!" Shalimin shook his head and threw the ring on the table.

"How?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned, looked at Sha Liming in puzzlement, Tang Yibin and the others were also confused, and their faces showed puzzled expressions.

"Is this a fake?"

"No, no, no!" Sha Liming shook his head, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little gloomy.

"It's true and it's fake!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Alas! It's all the fault of vanity! Sha Liming let out a long sigh.

"Nie catches the head, I can't hide it, in recent years, my family has fallen in the middle of the road, and it is no longer what it used to be, in order to be able to maintain my previous life, I took the ancestral sapphire ring in Luoyang City as early as a year ago."

Hearing this, Nie Xiaohu and the others had a look of surprise in their eyes.

"For the sake of my old face, for the sake of my façade, I had to imitate a fake ring in a jewelry store, but it was just for my vanity in front of people, who would have thought that this vanity almost brought me death!"

After Sha Liming finished speaking, he picked up the ring, shook his head with a wry smile, and the 'sapphire' on the ring seemed to be even brighter......
