"Huh?" , The two raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at Nie Xiaohu who was smiling in dismay, and even Tang Yibin and Shi Yuning were full of surprise.

"You... How do you know", Binglan whispered, her voice inaudible.

Nie Xiaohu smiled: "I found a man's footprints in the corner under the stairs in the west wing, and then I thought of your demeanor and movements at that time, it was easy to guess, and the man who could appear there at that time, besides Mingqi, who else would there be?" ”

Binglan and Mingqi both lowered their heads again.

"Binglan, tell me about the situation at that time!"

"Yes, sir. I was about to go downstairs, and when I was just going down the stairs, a man came out from behind me, and he put his arm around me and kissed me on the cheek. ”

Binglan blushed and glanced at Mingqi who was kneeling beside her, and then said: "I was afraid that the screams would attract people, so I hurriedly asked him to hide under the stairs, and then I ran back to the corner of the stairs, and then Steward Du ran in, and then Master Du also came."

They asked me what happened, and I had to make up a nonsense, saying that I had met a ghost, and then Master Du wanted to look in the yard, only to find that the little master was gone. ”

"Well, wouldn't it be over if you told the truth?" , Nie Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Mingqi.

"Mingqi."

"My lord", Mingqi's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat at this time, "I... I really like Binglan..."

"I didn't ask you this", Nie Xiaohu smiled.

"Oh, what does the adult want to ask, Mingqi must tell the truth, and dare not hide it in the slightest!"

"What is the relationship between your son-in-law and Master Du?"

"Lord Hui, my son-in-law is Mrs. Feng's younger brother, that is, Master Du's brother-in-law."

"Why is he here?"

"Oh, that's right, my son-in-law was originally a scholar, but he failed many times, so he couldn't be discouraged, cut off the idea of a career, and started a business instead. But when he first started business, he was the opponent of those mercenary businessmen, and after a year, the family property was almost lost, and he owed a lot of foreign debts.

Now that there is a lack of capital to do business, and the creditor often comes to collect debts, Gongzi has no choice but to come here, thinking of borrowing some silver from Master Du for emergencies. ”

"Then did your son-in-law ever open his mouth to borrow money?"

"Not yet", Ming Qi shook his head, "I heard that Master Du is a notoriously mean ghost, and my son-in-law hasn't figured out how to speak." ”

"Very well, let's all get out!" , Nie Xiaohu seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and waved his hand with a smile.

Binglan and Mingqi hurriedly stood up and retreated.

"What do you two think?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"If it is a house thief, I think Du Liqin and Feng Junzhe are the most suspicious," Shi Yuning said as he scratched his chin with his right index finger.

"Let's talk about it", Nie Xiaohu looked at Shi Yuning with interest.

"Let's talk about this Du Liqin first, she came to the Du family for money, and that Binglan was her maid, she made Binglan scream to attract the attention of Steward Du, and then her accomplices took the opportunity to kidnap the young master of the Du family, so as to achieve her purpose of asking for money."

"What about Feng Junzhe?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.

Feng Junzhe also came for money, he asked Mingqi to go to the west wing to hide first, and when Binglan went downstairs, he suddenly appeared, Binglan was frightened, and she would inevitably scream, and the scream would definitely attract the Du housekeeper who was taking care of the young master of the Du family, and then his accomplices took the opportunity to take the young master of the Du family away, so as to achieve his purpose of asking for money.

Both of them have ample motives, and I don't think one of them did it! ”

Shi Yuning nodded and said.

"And that Steward Du, he is also very suspicious, it can be seen from his words that he is also very dissatisfied with Master Du, and the possibility of him stealing from prison cannot be ruled out! He had the best chance to make a move, he first teamed up with outsiders to get the little young master away, and then ran into the west wing with Binglan's shouting, so that he had an excuse to say that the little young master was gone. ”

"Alas!" , Shi Yuning sighed again, shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, it's not all because this Du Hongxuan is too mean, if he is a little better to his subordinates on weekdays and a little more generous, why would this kind of thing happen!" ”

"Well, you're right on this point," Nie Xiaohu said happily.

"Huh?" , Shi Yuning immediately pursed his lips, and Tang Yibin sat on the chair, without saying a word, just looking at the two with a smile.

"Alright, it's almost time, let's go out!" , Nie Xiaohu stood up with a smile.

In the living room of the Du family, everyone was waiting anxiously, and when they saw Nie Xiaohu and the others, everyone's faces had an expression of expectation.

"Master Du, the kidnapping of your son is a bit tricky, and it may be difficult to make a fuss which of your enemies did it, and this still needs to be found slowly."

"Oh, how is this good?" , Du Hongxuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"The most important thing at the moment is the personal safety of your son, the robbers want money, and now it's almost time for them to agree, I think it's better to give them the silver according to their requirements, the robbers took the silver, and they will put the little boy back, and when the little boy comes back safely, we will track down the whereabouts of the robbers, do you think this is good?"

"That's it!" , Du Hongxuan shook his head, his face ached.

After Du Hongxuan finished speaking, he walked into the inner hall, and after a little effort, he walked out with a note.

"Lin Quan!"

"Sir!"

"Go to the account office and withdraw five hundred taels of silver!"

"Yes!" , Du Linquan took the note, turned around and went out.

It didn't take long for Du Linquan to come back with a pocket, "Master, five hundred taels of silver are all here." ”

"Nie Zhutou, who do you think is more appropriate?" , Du Hongxuan asked.

Nie Xiaohu glanced at everyone's bodies.

"Don't look at me, I won't go to a place like a mass grave!" , Du Liqin frowned, turned her head and looked away.

"The little master was kidnapped under my care, in case this silver is gone, the young master can't come back, I can't afford to be guilty, I won't go!" , Du Linquan also shook his head again and again.

"I'll go!" , Feng Junzhe suddenly stood up and volunteered.
