"Family? Then why is your surname Shan, but his surname is Yuan? ", Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Yes, Yuan Yongfu, you have lived in the town for some years, how come I have never heard of any relatives of you?" , Xue Fei also asked.

"That's right," Shan Hongwei said slowly, "Uncle Yuan was rescued by my father when he was passing through this place many years ago on business, when he was addicted to casinos and owed a lot of gambling debts, and when the creditor wanted to rob his house to pay off the debt, my father happened to be at his home, so he paid off the gambling debts for him." ”

"Since your father is passing through here, how can he be at his home and pay off his gambling debts for him?"

"My father was in a hurry and hurriedly dropped the ancestral jade pendant on his waist on the ground without noticing, but fortunately, Uncle Yuan picked it up and returned it to my father, so my father went to his house."

"I see", Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"My father saw that his heart was not bad, and thought that his addiction to drugs must be caused by temptation, so he came to the rescue, Uncle Yuan felt my father's great kindness, and vowed to be a slave for life and serve my father.

My father didn't allow it, but he couldn't resist Uncle Yuan, so he thought of a compromise solution, saying that since it was his debt, the house would naturally be his, but the house could not be taken away, and he didn't want to sell it, so he asked Uncle Yuan to stay and take care of the house for him, and that's it. ”

"What about your father? Why didn't he come? ”

"Alas!"

When Shan Hongwei heard this, he couldn't help but reddened his eyes, sighed and said, "My father passed away a few years ago. ”

"What about your mother?"

"My mother also ran away from home three years ago, and I haven't been heard from since, and I've been living at my uncle's house."

After speaking, Shan Hongwei began to sobb quietly.

"Brother Hu, he is not ......", Cao Xiaohui was about to speak, but was interrupted by Nie Xiaohu raising his hand.

"You guys wait outside first, and when I'm done here, I'm going to take you to meet someone," Nie Xiaohu said.

"Yes, follow your orders", Shan Hongwei and Yuan Yongfu nodded in agreement, and turned around to the outside of the pawnshop.

"What was it like when the robbers came in?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Liu Wangjia and asked.

"That's right, my lord, there are two robbers, both dressed in black, covered with black scarves, each holding a bow and crossbow in their hands, one is standing here, and the other is standing there", Liu Wangjia pointed to the front of the counter and the door.

"The robber standing at the counter pointed at us with a bow and crossbow and asked us to hand over all the silver, but our account office, Mr. Li, secretly turned out of the counter and tried to snatch the man's bow and crossbow from behind, but was discovered by the robber standing at the doorway and shot an arrow at him, which hit Mr. Li in the chest.

We were so frightened that no one dared to move, and the two robbers took out ropes, tied up all three of us, gagged us with strips of cloth, and locked us in the back closet, and we didn't know what was going on. ”

"That robber is so vicious, he shot Mr. Li down from behind with an arrow, and if we resist, we will kill them!" , Wang Maocai also echoed on the side.

"Didn't you, it scared the hell out of me!" , Xu Yintian also muttered quietly.

Nie Xiaohu didn't pay any attention to the three of them after listening, and walked directly around the counter to the back aisle, behind the counter is a small storage room, which is stacked with a little sundries, next to the aisle is a staircase leading to the second floor, and at the end of the aisle is a back door, at this time the back door is bolted from the inside.

There is a small closet on the wall to the right of the back door, and when opened, there is not much space inside, barely enough to squeeze three people.

"Is that what they're locked up in?" , Nie Xiaohu asked, pointing to the closet.

"Yes", Xue Fei nodded.

Nie Xiaohu opened the back door, and behind it was a small courtyard, separated from the backyard of the opposite house by a fence wall.

Nie Xiaohu looked around, then closed the back door, turned around and walked straight to the front.

"How can you pawnshop put so many silver taels on the counter? Is this the case every day? ", Nie Xiaohu asked.

"No, no, of course not!"

Liu Wangjia shook his head and said, "The night before yesterday, my lord said that Ma Fugui and Boss Ma were going to come the next morning to be a treasure, as a thousand taels of silver, so he put a lot of silver taels in the counter, and usually put two or three hundred taels." ”

"Ma Fugui?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows were furrowed.

"That's right, it's Boss Ma!"

"Did he come yesterday?"

"I came, not long after the robber left, but when he saw this situation in the store, he went back again, saying that he would come back another day."

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, and walked out of the pawnshop and onto the street while thinking about it.

"Slow down, my lord!" , Liu Wangjia and the other three people bowed vigorously and nodded their heads in the back.

"Who were those two brothers who were at the scene at the time of the crime?" , Out of the pawnshop, Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Hu Minghua, Liu Yanjun, you two come here!" , Xue Fei hooked his hand at the two.

"What did you see at the time?"

"My lord, let me tell you!" , Liu Yanjun clenched his fists and told what happened yesterday morning as it was.

After listening to this, Nie Xiaohu walked forward to the intersection, turned his head to look to the right, there was a straight avenue on the right, and from a distance, there seemed to be a forest at the end.

"Is that how the robbers fled in the wagon?"

"Yes!"

"Didn't you see anything when you came over?"

"No, there's nothing on the street, not even a pedestrian, my lord, the carriage is going too fast!"

"How long did it take you to get here?"

"It's only a dozen breaths of time," Liu Yanjun thought for a while and said, "At that time, they shot two arrows at us in the car, slowing us down. ”

"Where does this street lead?"

"Outside the town, my lord, Fengyu Town is very small, and there are streets leading to the outside of the town in the east, west, north and south."

"If it's really a case done by bandits, then it's really nowhere to be found," Cao Xiaohui shook her head on the side.

Nie Xiaohu didn't speak, frowning and pursing his lips.

"My lord, we still have something to ask for", at this time, Shan Hongwei and Yuan Yongfu, who had been standing at the door of the pawnshop, walked in front of Nie Xiaohu together.

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"I beg you to make decisions for us and redeem the mansion that they have taken away."
