Nie Xiaohu rolled his eyes.

"Little stone!"

"Tiger Head!" , Shi Yuning's body straightened.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will go and catch that gangster named He Qing for me, and buy a fatter duck by the way!"

"Don't worry, Tiger Head, this matter is on me!" , Shi Lu Ning patted his chest happily.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, staring at the brazier, a knowing smile on his face.

Early the next morning, He Qing was arrested by Shi Yuning.

"Official... Official, I didn't grab anything, and I was arrested too? He Qing looked at Nie Xiaohu with an innocent expression.

"Robbing is robbing, it has nothing to do with whether you rob or not," Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Isn't it just a duck?" , He Qing pouted and muttered quietly, "I think that Ma Hongyun's origin must not be right, why don't you arrest him too?" ”

"Who is Ma Hongyun?" , Nie Xiaohu's heart moved.

"It's the guy who carried the duck last night!" , He Qing said, "His family is so poor that he has the money to buy ducks to eat, and he obviously doesn't know where he stole them, so we will rob him, and the duck must be from the wrong way, you go and catch him, just ask!" ”

"Then do you know where Ma Hongyun's family lives?"

"Of course I do!"

"Lead the way!"

……

In an alley in the slum area south of the city, He Qing took Nie Xiaohu and others to a low and dilapidated house.

"That's it!" , He Qing pointed to the door and said.

"You can go," Nie Xiaohu said, nodding.

"Ang", He Qing nodded.

"What?" , He Qing almost didn't believe his ears, and almost shouted.

"I said you could go!" , Nie Xiaohu glanced at He Qing.

"That's... Then I'm really gone! He Qing asked again.

"If you let you go, you can leave quickly, where is so much nonsense, is it possible that you still want to go in and stay for two days?" , Shi Yuning pushed He Qing.

"Oh yes! Ladies and gentlemen, see you later! He Qing nodded and said, his face blooming with blooming flowers.

"Phew! My stinky mouth, it's better not to see you in the future! He Qing slapped his mouth and ran away.

"Little stone, call the door!"

Shi Yuning nodded, stepped forward with a fat duck, and slapped the door vigorously.

"Is Ma Hongyun at home?"

"Who?" A woman's inquiry came from inside the door.

"Just open the door and you'll know, there's something urgent!"

"Here we go!" With a promise, the door opened with a "squeak", and a woman dressed in simple clothes appeared in front of everyone, and as soon as the woman saw Nie Xiaohu and the others, her face immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Who are you Ma Hongyun?" , Without waiting for the woman to speak, Nie Xiaohu immediately asked.

"Back... Back to the official's words, the little girl Ning, Ma Hongyun is my husband", Ning replied in a low voice.

"Mo... Isn't it my husband who has committed something? Ning's face had a nervous look.

"Oh, that's not it," Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Last night he was robbed, and he dropped a duck, and we happened to catch the robber, so don't you come to send him a duck!"

"Oh yes, yes!" , a smile of surprise appeared on Ning's face.

"A few officials, please come in, Hong Yun has just gotten up and is washing!"

When Ma Hongyun saw Nie Xiaohu and the others in the room, a trace of uneasiness flashed on his face.

"You are Ma Hongyun?"

"Exactly down there."

"You were robbed by two thugs last night?"

"Yes, yes", Ma Hongyun hesitated slightly, nodded in reply.

Ma Hongyun's subtle action did not escape Nie Xiaohu's eyes, and Nie Xiaohu's heart couldn't help but have questions.

"You saw a catcher coming last night, why did you run away?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Ma Hongyun's eyes and asked.

"It's... This one? Ma Hongyun lowered his head, bit his lower lip, and said hesitantly.

"Husband, you didn't commit anything, did you? Although we are poor, we must not do anything that hurts heaven and reason! Ning's said with a frown as he looked at Ma Hongyun from the side.

"No... It's nothing", Ma Hongyun shook his head again and again.

"If it's nothing, then you can say it!" , Ning was a little anxious.

"Say, why are you running?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly.

"Okay, I say!" , Ma Hongyun looked at the anxious Ning who was standing aside, and said as if he had made up his mind.

"My brother's name is Ma Hongtao, he is a cook in the house of Master Zhuang, yesterday he called me over, saying that there was something to find me, so I went, he said that it was the day after tomorrow that the grandson of Master Zhuang passed the full moon, he was preparing the materials for the banquet, yesterday he bought thirty ducks, and he took advantage of no one, secretly... Secretly stuffed one for me", after speaking, Ma Hongyun squatted down with his head in his hands.

"I had a ghost in my heart at the time, and I saw that it was an official errand, so I ran away, I really didn't steal, and my brother also had good intentions, or I would lose some money, don't arrest my brother, I beg you!"

"I see!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"We won't take care of this little thing, you don't have to be afraid!"

"Really?" , Ma Hongyun looked at Nie Xiaohu with wide eyes.

"Well", Nie Xiaohu said with a smile, "But the duck last night died, and we were afraid that it would be broken, so we ate it, and I didn't buy another one to pay you for it, and I guarantee that it is fatter than yours!" ”

As soon as Shi Yuning heard this, he hurriedly stuffed the duck in his hand into Ning's hand.

"This? How embarrassing is this...", Ning said embarrassedly, but his hand was clutching the duck.

"What's so embarrassing about this, it's our fault first, as long as you don't care!" , Nie Xiaohu said happily.

"Oh, that's really, what should I say?" , Ma Hongyun stood up, a little excited.

"We ate the duck, but I still keep the duck's feathers, snort, duck intestines, etc., if you are useful, I will send it to you!"

"Forget it, forget it!" , Ma Hongyun waved his hand again and again, "I don't have a dog at home, I want those filthy things to do, don't want it, don't want it!" ”

"Can't be wrong, this person is not a robber", Nie Xiaohu confirmed his judgment in his heart.

"Then we won't bother, farewell!" , Nie Xiaohu bowed his hand and turned to leave.

Ma Hongyun's brother Ma Hongtao cleaned up at home in the morning and was about to go out, when he was blocked at the door by Nie Xiaohu and others.

"A few officials, do you have something to do with me?" , Ma Hongtao asked puzzled.

"Talk in the house!" , Nie Xiaohu pushed open the door and walked into Ma Hongtao's house as he spoke.

"Are you Ma Hongtao?"

"Exactly."

"Ma Hongyun is your brother?"

"Yes."

"Hmm!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded, "You secretly gave him a duck yesterday?" ”

"This?" , Ma Hongtao hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to ask you a few questions, nothing else", Nie Xiaohu saw his doubts.

"Oh, yes", Ma Hongtao nodded.

"Tell me about the situation!"

"The situation? What's the situation? Ma Hongtao was a little confused.
