Chapter 152: The Raven's Curse (5)

"You wrote it yourself?"

He Chenhui glanced at the letter, then nodded, and lowered his head again.

"Obviously, you asked your brother to come here, why did your brother make an appointment with you in the club? Explain! And who is Zhou Yonggang you just talked about? ”

"Back to the official, it is indeed my brother who made an appointment with me, Zhou Yonggang is the next person of my family, yesterday I was going to go to the inn to see my brother, but I couldn't leave because of something temporarily, so I sent him to inform him, saying that I would go over later."

"You just said that it is difficult for you to support your family, where did you get the money to hire people?"

"Oh, that's right, Zhou Yonggang was a desert escaper I met in the village last year, when he was about to starve to death, I took him home and gave him a little food, after that he said that he would not leave, he had to stay as a subordinate, saying that he wanted to repay the grace of saving his life, I couldn't resist him, so I had to agree."

"I see", Nie Xiaohu nodded, "What you just said was your brother's appointment with you, what's going on?" ”

"That's right, sir, after Zhou Yonggang came back from the inn yesterday, he brought me a letter, saying that it was written to me by my brother, and when I looked at it, it said that he was still afraid that he killed him five years ago, and asked me to come here to meet him today, and if I agree, I will write a reply to him, just in case, and let me burn his letter after reading it.

After reading it, I immediately wrote a reply, burned his letter, and asked Zhou Yonggang to send the reply to the inn, and then I came this morning as promised. ”

"That's the reply you wrote?" , Nie Xiaohu shook the letter again.

"Yes, it can't be wrong", He Chenhui read the letter again, and then nodded.

"If what you say is true, it is reasonable, but if it is false, it is a bit far-fetched", Nie Xiaohu frowned and said to himself.

"Official, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask my lady, by the way, and Zhou Yonggang, they can all testify for me!" , He Chenhui saw Nie Xiaohu's suspicious look, and hurriedly said loudly.

"Tiger Head!" At this moment, Shi Yuning and the others turned out from behind the stone tower, and Shi Yuning shouted excitedly as he ran.

Nie Xiaohu raised his hand, motioned for him not to speak, and then asked, "How is it, did you find it?" ”

Shi Yuning didn't speak, and nodded heavily.

"It can now be concluded that He Chenze was murdered, not committed suicide!" , Nie Xiaohu said.

With a "whoosh", more than ten people standing next to him immediately exploded, talking and saying everything, He Chenhui looked at Nie Xiaohu in surprise, his face was full of surprise.

"Official... Official, what did you say? My brother was killed? ”

"Exactly!"

"But?" , He Chenhui turned his head to look at the more than ten people, "We all clearly saw that it was my brother who jumped from the top of the tower by himself, and besides, there was no one else in the tower?" ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, "You'll be clear then!" ”

"Let's go, let's go to Hekou Village!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand at Tang Yibin and the others.

"He Chenhui, you lead the way!"

"No... No, sir, my brother didn't kill him! He Chenhui was obviously panicked, kneeling there with his hands swinging around.

"Whether you did it or not, sooner or later will find out!" , Nie Xiaohu got on the horse and pointed at He Chenhui with a whip.

"Get up and lead the way!"

"Go... Where to? He Chenhui stood up and asked tremblingly.

"To your house, of course!"

"Oh!" ……

"Official, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the door of He's courtyard, a woman with an average appearance and a very charming dress greeted her, and saw He Chenhui drooping his head and hanging his head, and a puzzled look appeared in the woman's eyes.

"Official, what are you?" , The woman looked at Nie Xiaohu and the others and the crowd of people watching the excitement at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but be stunned in place.

"Official, this is my lady, Pan."

"I've seen a few officials", Pan hurriedly gave a salute and quickly pulled He Chenhui aside.

"Is something wrong?" , Pan asked in a whisper.

"My brother fell from the tower and died, and the official said he was killed."

"Huh?" Pan's face was full of surprise.

At this time, Nie Xiaohu whispered a few words in Shi Yuning's ear, Shi Yuning nodded, dragged Mao Guangjian, and the two turned around and left.

"Where is Zhou Yonggang?" , Nie Xiaohu glanced at the people in the courtyard and asked in a deep voice.

"Oh, he's drying clothes in the back!" , Pan said hurriedly.

"Go and call him!"

"Yes!" Pan nodded in agreement and walked quickly to the backyard.

After a short time, Pan led a young man to Nie Xiaohu's face.

"Official, he is Zhou Yonggang."

Nie Xiaohu looked Zhou Yonggang up and down, this person was tall, dressed in blue clothes, with two lying silkworm eyebrows, thin and black; High nose bridge, big eyes, slightly dark complexion, and good facial features, like a little calf.

"I don't know what the official is looking for me?" , Zhou Yonggang said while wiping his wet hands on the lower bow of his clothes.

"You are Zhou Yonggang?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Yes!"

"Where are you a subordinate person, I don't know how much money they give you?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"The official said that he laughed, the grace of saving his life has not been repaid, it is natural to be a subordinate, just take care of a meal, what kind of monthly money do you want?" , Zhou Yonggang grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, looking at Zhou Yonggang with an appreciative look.

"Did you go to the Blessed Inn yesterday?"

"If you go back to the official, yes, the master of the family asked me to go."
