Chapter 224: The Wrong Shortcut (5)

"My lord, I'm wronged, everything the villain says is the truth!" When Zheng Tianyou heard what Cao Xiaohui said, he hurriedly cried and shouted.

"Since it's all true, then tell me, why is the door latched?" , Cao Xiaohui asked.

"This ......", Zheng Tianyou's face was difficult, and he said with an aggrieved expression, "I don't know this, but I'm telling the truth!" ”

"Whether you haven't made up your mind yet, everything will be found out, you don't have to be too excited, if you didn't do it, you wouldn't have to worry about anything, would you?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Zheng Tianyou and said.

"That's just as well," Zheng Tianyou nodded.

"It's getting late, let's go back first, we'll talk about it tomorrow!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and walked out first.

"Brother Tiger, don't you have to arrest the shopkeeper first?" On the way back, Cao Xiaohui asked.

"No, he can't run, and he doesn't dare to run!"

Nie Xiaohu smiled and continued: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Lin Yixing's house first to confirm whether what he said is true or false." ”

"What? Do you suspect it's him? ”

"Well, he lied to us!"

"What? What did he lie? Cao Xiaohui's eyes widened in surprise.

"He said that he had gone to bed early, and that although the futon on his bed had been opened and spread on the bed, it was cold in the bed, which meant that he was not sleeping at all, and that the pot of tea on the bedside table was hot, and if he had fallen asleep, the tea in the pot would have been cold, so he was lying!"

"I see!" , Cao Xiaohui nodded.

"Another point, that is, when I entered the door, I smelled a faint fragrance on his body, and the fragrance was the same as the fragrance in the room of the shopkeeper Zhang Yinger", Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, with a weird smile on his face.

"Oh~~~", Cao Xiaohui thought for a while, and then pulled a long tone, "You mean he ...... with that Zhang Ying'er"

Nie Xiaohu nodded, smiled but did not answer, and Cao Xiaohui's face also showed a sly smile.

Early the next morning, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui and others came to Lin Yixing's home in Sishun District, and when they saw that someone was about to come to the door, Lin Yixing's wife Tian was startled.

"A few officials!"

Tian bowed and said puzzledly: "You came to my house early this morning, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal", Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Your husband is Lin Yixing?" ”

"Exactly, it can't be that something happened to him, right?" Tian's face showed a panicked look.

"Nothing happened", Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "I just came to ask, where is your husband?" ”

"I don't know," Tian shook his head, "He just said that he went out to visit friends, and he won't be back until a few days, and he's been gone for three days." ”

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "What mistake did he make before going out?" ”

"Error?" , Tian's eyes were confused.

"Like breaking a vase or something?" , Nie Xiaohu prompted.

"Oh, yes, he broke a vase, but that's not a mistake, is it?" , Tian frowned deeply.

"But how do you know, sir? I haven't told anyone about it, have I? ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, "He said it to me personally." ”

"What did the officials say? So, sir, have you seen him? What's wrong with my housekeeper, please tell me quickly, I'm scared to death! ”

Tian covered his heart with one hand and said with a panicked expression.

"Is he afraid of you?"

"This ......", Tian frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded with difficulty.

"That's right!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile, "Your husband is very afraid of you, so he hid under the pretext of going out to visit friends after breaking the vase, for fear that you would be angry with him." ”

"Hiding?" Tian fell into deep self-blame, and only after a while did he speak, and said faintly, "Official, can you tell the slave family where my officials are now?" ”

"Not far away, in a restaurant on Anyang Street!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"I don't know if Madame can go with me, I'll be a peacemaker from the middle, resolve the conflict between your husband and wife, and don't be too fierce to him in the future, how about it?"

"Listen to the official," Tian said softly with his head down.

"Excellent! Let's go now, then! ", Nie Xiaohu said happily.

"Brother Tiger, you really have a lot of leisure, you even have to mix other people's family affairs!" , Cao Xiaohui laughed quietly.

More than half an hour later, Nie Xiaohu and others took Tian to the gate of Anyang Restaurant.

Because it was early in the morning, there were no guests coming to the door, and the front of the restaurant seemed relatively deserted, and the door was open a crack, which seemed to be hidden.

A catcher hurriedly walked a few steps to the front to the door, pushed with both hands, the door was pushed open, Nie Xiaohu was about to step forward, but found that the catcher who pushed the door was standing in place, not moving.

Nie Xiaohu frowned, and just as he was about to ask a question, he heard the catcher shout, "Not good!" Then he tilted his body and rolled upside down a few times on the spot, away from the door, and almost at the same moment, a feathered arrow flew out of the door with the sound of the wind.

Immediately after that, there was a "Bah! It sounded like a heavy door closing.

"Ahh ~~~~", Tian squatted down with his head in his hands.

At the mouth of an alley opposite the Anyang Restaurant, two young boys and girls were standing there chatting.

"Qianqian, I dare to swear to God!"

The man raised his right hand above his head and swore an oath: "I am sincere to you, if there is any lie, let me ......"

The man looked left and right, and then said, "Just let this hand of mine rot immediately!" ”

As soon as the man's words fell, he listened to "Bang! A scream followed, and the man's right palm was pierced by a feathered arrow, and blood flowed down his wrist.

"Chen Haitao, you go to die! Hum! The girl immediately became angry, stomped her foot and turned around and ran away.

"Someone! Go over there and see how the person hurts? Nie Xiaohu immediately shouted to the people who were still stunned.
