Nie Xiaohu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "There is also a personal certificate!" ”

"Oh? Witnesses? Where is it? The patriarch asked.

"At the beginning, Cao Ling'er's mother invited Hua Mantian to live at home, and Hua Mantian insisted on staying at the Blessed Inn in the town, so I went to the Blessed Inn, which confirmed my speculation, Boss Qian, come in!" , Nie Xiaohu said outwardly.

As soon as the words fell, Xue Fei walked into the hall with an old man, followed by two catchers.

"See the total head catcher!" , Xue Fei and the two catchers knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.

"Get up! You've worked so hard! Nie Xiaohu smiled and raised his hand.

Xue Fei and the two catchers got up and stepped aside.

"He is the money shopkeeper, the owner of the Blessed Inn!"

Nie Xiaohu pointed at the old man and said, "If the patriarch has something to say, you can ask him!" ”

"The little old man has money and wealth, and he is the shopkeeper of the Blessed Inn, and he has seen the adults, the patriarch and the elders", the money shopkeeper bowed and said, his legs trembling slightly.

"Money shopkeeper, please admit it, is there the flower who lived in your store here?" , Nie Xiaohu said.

Qian Youcai glanced around, when his eyes fell on Hu Kuixin, he froze, thought about it carefully, and said decisively: "It's him, four months ago, this person came to my store, saying that he wanted to live in the store, and the registered name was Hua Mantian, and he was very strange, he paid the store money for ten days and left, and he didn't come to live, and he came to pay again after ten days, so he paid the store money back and forth for a total of more than three months, so I was particularly impressed." ”

"It's okay, thank you for the money shopkeeper, you can go back", Nie Xiaohu said with a smile, reaching out and making a gesture of please.

"Then the little old man will take his leave", Qian Youcai bowed deeply to everyone, turned around and went out.

At this moment, Hu Kuixin's body was already weak, and he couldn't sit still anymore, so he slid directly from the chair to the ground.

'It's really you!' The patriarch stared at Hu Kuixin and shouted angrily.

The hall began to talk again.

"Quiet!" The patriarch slapped the table, pointed to Hu Kuixin, who was slumped on the ground, and asked, "Why are you doing this?" What is the purpose?! ”

"I, I", Hu Kuixin trembled.

"Let me do it for him!" Nie Xiaohu strode in front of Hu Kuixin.

"Do you still remember Cao Ling'er's father's last words? He handed over a huge amount of property to Hu Kuixin for supervision, stating that he would not be able to hand over all the property to Cao Ling'er's mother and daughter until Cao Ling'er got married. How do you know that this wolf-hearted man covets his aunt's property, so how can he get this huge fortune? There is only one way, and that is to make Cao Linger never marry, so that he can possess this wealth forever. ”

The patriarch and all the elders nodded.

"Then how can Cao Ling'er not get married? Only so that she can never wait for her beloved. found someone to deceive Cao Ling'er, but he was not at ease, so our Hu Kuixin, that is, Cao Linger's cousin, put on a human skin mask and disguised himself into a handsome man, named Hua Mantian, and directed and acted in a good show of heroes saving beauty.

The next thing is to try his best to make Cao Linger fall in love with this non-existent Hua Mantian, and he did it. I still can't figure out how the hell did you do that? Nie Xiaohu lowered his head and asked Hu Kuixin with interest.

Hu Kuixin ignored it, as if he was looking down and thinking about something.

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, and then said: "Everyone knows what happened next, the truth is like this, as for how to deal with it, it is your own internal affairs in Caojiazhuang." ”

After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he clasped his fists at the patriarch and the elders and returned to his seat.

"Brother Tiger, it's really yours!" Cao Xiaohui patted Nie Xiaohu on the shoulder.

"It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about!" Nie Xiaohu smiled and waved his hand repeatedly.

"Hu Kuixin, are you guilty?" The patriarch spoke, his voice majestic.

"I'm just joking with my cousin, so what's the point?"

Hu Kuixin got up from the ground and shouted confidently: "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't set fire, I didn't commit adultery, and I didn't steal and loot, but I was just playing with my cousin, what is my crime?" ”

"This..."The patriarch was speechless for a moment, and after thinking about it, he really didn't know what crime to convict.

"Alas! I'm worried about this, although Hu Kuixin's move is shameless, he hasn't violated any laws and family rules, and he really has no legal crimes, depressed! Nie Xiaohu shook his head and whispered.

Seeing that everyone was in trouble, Hu Kuixin couldn't help laughing, "Everyone, I'm busy with business, I don't have time to chat with you, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave first!" After speaking, he turned around to leave.

"Stop!" The patriarch was furious, slapped the table, and stood up.

"Just a few words at you, I can convict you of a great disrespect! The law enforcement elder, disrespectful to the patriarch, roaring in the chamber, how to deal with it according to the clan rules? ”

The law enforcement elder also stood up, twisted his beard in his hand, thought for a while, and said: "If you are disrespectful to the patriarch, you will be whipped fifty according to the clan rules, fined five hundred taels of silver, and go to the paper workshop to volunteer for one year." ”

When the rest of the elders heard this, they were all slightly moved, and everyone knew that this was a deliberate increase in punishment by the law enforcement elders, but everyone was extremely disgusted with this Hu Kuixin, so no one spoke out against it.

"The punishment is so light? It seems that Caojiazhuang's family rules are really human-based, magnanimous and benevolent! "Nie Xiaohu is watching the excitement from the sidelines, and it's not a big deal.

"Torture Hall Elder! Execute! The patriarch gave an order.

"Yes!" The elder of the torture hall agreed, and with a long whip in his hand, he came to Hu Kuixin.

"Nope! You can't punish me! Hu Kuixin waved his hands and said in horror.

"Execution!" The patriarch glared.

The leather whip in the hand of the Torture Hall Elder was raised.

"Stop! Do you know the consequences of beating me? Hu Kuixin suddenly stiffened, with a threatening tone in his tone.

"The consequences? Hahahaha! The patriarch and all the elders laughed.

"Do you know who I am?" Hu Kuixin turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and called hysterically.

"Who are you? Aren't you Hu Kuixin? The patriarch asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm Hu Kuixin, but I still have a double identity, you don't know this, right?"

"What identity?"

"Humph! My host ......"

As soon as he said this, Hu Kuixin suddenly stopped, his eyes were full of horror, he slowly lowered his head, and an arrow cluster came out of his heart, and blood slowly dripped to the ground along the body of the arrow.

"He's ......"

With a "poof", Hu Kuixin's body fell to the ground.

"What people!"

Xue Fei shouted, "Cangchang! With a bang, he pulled out the Tang knife and rushed out of the hall with the two catchers, and at the same time, Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui also rushed outside.

The courtyard was empty, and Xue Fei and the others were nervously searching around.

"Who is so bold that he dares to commit murder in my Caojiazhuang?" When the patriarch and the elders came to the courtyard, they shouted loudly to all around.

"Could it be some of his enemies?" , Xue Fei said after searching for no results.

"It shouldn't be", Cao Xiaohui shook her head, "If the enemy is looking for revenge, he will definitely not choose to commit murder in this place at this time, Hu Kuixin was killed when he was about to say who his master was, that is to say, the person who killed him should have been sent by his master, but it's a pity that ......"

After frowning and thinking for a while, Nie Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his head suddenly, and shouted at Xue Fei: "Xue Zhutou, do you know where Hu Kuixin's boats are parked?" ”

"Yes!" , Xue Fei nodded.

"Lead the way, be fast, the faster the better!" , Nie Xiaohu ran towards the outside of the courtyard after speaking.

Cao Xiaohui, Xue Fei and the two catchers also followed closely behind.

"Come on, go and carry Hu Kuixin's body away, just find a hut to park, and notify his family to come and take the body away!" , the patriarch said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

Half an hour later, Nie Xiaohu and the others hurried to a small wharf located by the Luoshui River outside Luoyang City.

"Not good! Fast! Nie Xiaohu shouted, and his crotch rushed over like an arrow from the string.

"Firefighting! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

The docks were crowded with people, dozens of boatmen were busy pouring water to extinguish the fire, and twenty boats docked on the shore were crackling in the fire.

After Nie Xiaohu and the others arrived, they did not hesitate and joined the ranks of fighting the fire, and after more than an hour, the fire was finally extinguished, but the twenty boats were burned to charcoal, and none of them were spared.

"Who the hell did this? Why did they burn the ship? Xue Fei looked at the scorched black wreckage that was still smoking, and said to himself.

"Brother Tiger, how did you come up with the idea of coming here?" , Cao Xiaohui asked.

Nie Xiaohu didn't speak, silently walked to the wreckage of a boat, looked down, pointed to a board that had not been completely scorched, and said, "Cut off this board and put it in the sun to dry." ”

"Yes, sir!" , Xue Fei nodded in agreement, and immediately beckoned people to go and cut the boat.

After waiting for about two hours, the plank finally dried out in the sunlight, and a thin layer of white powder appeared on the plank.

The corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth lifted slightly, he squatted down to stretch out, took out his right index finger and gently wiped it on the layer of white powder, and then put his index finger into his mouth.

"It's private salt again!" , Nie Xiaohu stood up, his brows furrowed.

"Illicit salt?" When Xue Fei heard this, he immediately called a firefighting boatman.

"Are you a boatman hired by Hu Kuixin?"

"No, sir!" The boatman shook his head and said, "We are all boatmen in the neighborhood, and we rushed here to put out the fire when we saw a fire here!" ”

"And what about the original boatmen here?"

"I don't know, as soon as we came here, there was no one ......"

Nie Xiaohu looked into the distance with deep eyes, and he felt that a huge force was slowly approaching him. 2.
