Chapter 314: The Cockroach Trampled to Death (1)

Early that morning, Nie Xiaohu was sitting in the hall reading official documents, and after reading an official document, Nie Xiaohu raised his head.

"Little stone, little hair!"

"Tiger Head!"

"It was said that there was an envoy from Fusang who was going to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and he was going to rest in Luoyang for half a day today, and the two of you went to Jingren Wharf to pick it up, and he was responsible for escorting it to the post house, so go now."

"Oh yes!" , the two agreed, turned around and went out......

"I said stone, why do you say that the people of this Fusang country look so obscene, like a monkey, and have a sharp beak and monkey cheeks?"

On the way to the post house, Mao Guangjian rode on a horse, looked at the carriage in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Who knows? Maybe they're this miscellaneous, ah no, it's this breed! Hahahaha! The two chatted and laughed on the horse.

In the courtyard of the post house, on both sides of the courtyard gate is a slip of flower beds, all kinds of flowers in the flower beds are competing for beauty, blooming happily, at this moment next to the flower garden on the left, two farmers who pick up dung are dumping wooden barrels into a pit, and the barrels are full of manure used to fertilize the flower beds.

"I said let's take a break, we're pretty much done!" , said one of the farmers.

"Good! Go get a sip of water! The other farmer replied with a nod.

"Cover the pit first, it smells too big!" As he spoke, a farmer brought a straw mat and covered the manure pit, and then the two left with the bucket.

The carriage entered the courtyard of the inn and stopped next to the flower garden on the left.

"It's here!" , Shi Yuning and Mao Guangjian dismounted at the gate of the courtyard, walked into the post house, and walked straight towards the gate.

When the carriage came to a stop, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a little man who was about the same as a monkey came out of the carriage, looked around, and when he saw a straw mat on the ground, he couldn't help but nod his head, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Roar!"

"Ahh ……”

"The two officials have worked hard!" , the duty of the post house saw Shi Yuning and Mao Guangjian, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"It's not hard, it's a job!" , the two clasped their fists and said with a smile.

"What about the envoy of Fuso?"

"Isn't that ......?"

Shi Yuning pointed behind him, turned around and saw that the carriage had already left, and the courtyard was empty.

"! Still a ninja?! Shi Yuning exclaimed.

"Kill Kaitai! Kill Kaitai! A shrill cry rang out from inside the manure pit......

"Hahahaha!"

Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui were so happy that they couldn't straighten their waists after listening to Shi Yuning's eloquent narration.

"I said little stone, this is a bit unkind!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"We are a big country, we can't let these cats and dogs look down on them, so let's treat him to a meal tonight, which can be regarded as a shock to him!"

"Good! Tiger head, what do you say, let's do it! ", Shi Lu Ningle said.

It was night, the lights were on, the moon was in the sky, Chengyang Street was upstairs, Nie Xiaohu and others accompanied the envoys of Fusang to sit around the table, everyone frequently raised their glasses to toast, and the envoys of Fusang also did not refuse, and drank very happily, just when the envoys raised their glasses again, they accidentally touched their chopsticks to the ground.

"Little Er!" , Shi Yuning saw that the shopkeeper happened to walk to the table, and hurriedly beckoned and shouted.

"Official, what's the matter?" , the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Chopsticks are off, get a new pair!" , Shi Yuning pointed to the chopsticks on the ground.

"Here you go!" , Shopkeeper immediately took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms and handed them over with both hands.

"So fast? Do you have that in your feelings? ", Shi Yuning said in surprise.

Everyone was also surprised, and the envoy of Fusang took the chopsticks and nodded incessantly.

"That's right, my master taught me, saying that you should have a pair of chopsticks on your body, and if any guest's chopsticks fall to the ground, you can quickly replace them!"

"Hmmm! Well thought out! Nie Xiaohu nodded in praise.

"Huh? What is it used for? Mao Guangjian pointed to the lower abdomen of the shopkeeper and asked about the rope head exposed at the hem of his clothes.

"Oh, this is also what my master taught, when I urinate urgently, as long as I pull this with my hand, that thing will... Hey! It's convenient, and you don't have to touch it with your hands! ”

"Hmmm! Daintily! Hygiene! Shi Lu nodded intently.

"Roar!" , The envoy of Fuso listened to the words of the translator next to him, and nodded while putting a mouthful of food in his mouth.

"That's not right!" , Mao Guangjian frowned and asked, "Then what about you finished peeing?" Since you don't use your hands, how do you stuff them back in? ”

"With chopsticks! I don't have a pair! ”

"I'll go!" , everyone instantly lay on the table.

The next morning, the sun rose in the east, and the quiet streets echoed with a few rooster crows, and everything seemed so peaceful and quiet.

"Ahh ~~~~~~", suddenly, a woman's scream sounded in the backyard of Li Ji Yinpu in Daohua District, and the sharp scream instantly pierced the silent sky.

The deceased was Li Shunzhang, the owner of Li Ji Yinshop, and at this time he was lying on his back in his study, with a feather arrow stuck in his chest, his eyes were wide open, and his face was a look of shock, as if he had been frightened before he died.

"When did you find out?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Li Xiaoling, who was already crying and her eyes were red, and asked.

"An hour ago", Li Xiaoling choked up and said, "I went to call my father for breakfast this morning, but my father was not in the bedroom, I came to the study again, but as soon as I pushed the door, I was... Just...", as she spoke, Li Xiaoling cried again.

"Are you missing valuables at home?"

Li Xiaoling didn't speak, crying and shaking her head, at this time a pure white kitten walked up to Li Xiaoling's feet, rubbed her legs with her body, and whispered, as if she was also comforting the owner's sadness.

"Bai Xue", Li Xiaoling sobbed, squatted down, and hugged the kitten in her arms.

Nie Xiaohu didn't ask again, and began to carefully survey the scene, the study is not big, on the left side of the first floor of the backyard, facing the door is a window, the window is tightly closed, latched from the inside, there is a broken hole in the window paper, the edge of the small hole is slightly concave into the room, judging by the shape of the hole, the arrow is shot from the outside.

The feathered arrows on the chest of the deceased were the kind of crossbows used on small bows, and the style was very ordinary and unremarkable.

In front of the window is a table case, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, and there is also a landscape painting on the table, which looks very ancient, but the fly in the ointment is that there is a small hole in the middle of the painting.

On the left side of the study against the wall is a row of bookshelves full of books, a calligraphy painting on the wall to the right of the door, and two candlesticks, the candles on which have burned out, and the tray is full of wax and oil.
