Xu Hao spent more than fifty taels of silver in a funeral, and almost all the cash in the Nie family was used on the coffin. Seeing that he had already started to take out things to pawn for money, Xu Hao naturally wanted to do his best to Mr. Nie and never mention money.

It cost almost five hundred taels to put on a coffin in one mouthful, and three hundred taels to say one mouthful. Nie Yuji soon worried about not having cash. His friend named Jia Renyi, who had a sacrifice, said: "Young master, don't worry. Our relatives have a family who holds the bill. As long as there is a deed as a deed, it is easy to borrow a few hundred taels, but I am afraid that the interest will be too large and too much. According to my idea, our family does not have to cherish money. Find a suitable master to give this house a temporary payment. First, there is no need to worry about the monthly profits, and second, it is a correct period. When the eldest young master is strong, he can still redeem it when his wealth is strong."

This is a standard saying of a villain. It seems to share your worries but is actually planning to make your property. The problem is that Nie Yuji's young scholar can't tell whether it is good or bad at all, but just treat it as enthusiastic about making friends and the supreme beauty of others.

I asked Uncle Lai De to discuss it and entrusted the matter to Jia Renyi to quickly distribute the house left by his ancestors. The price of the income paid back the urgent debts everywhere. Then I would still be a little rich, and I would use it for renting a house in addition to being a hot filial piety to avoid losing money.

Uncle De had no choice but to do anything about this. Although he felt sorry for him, he spent a lot of money like Xu Hao. How could he borrow money in this difficult time? He couldn't go home with a debt on his back, right?

After the relatives and friends left in the evening, Uncle De quickly took the accounts he handled and handed them over to Nie Yuji one by one. However, he did not mention Xu Hao intentionally or unintentionally and spent a lot of money. Nie Yuji was probably confused and forgot to ask Xu Hao how much he had paid.

Even if Xu Hao doesn't care about some money, your Nie family doesn't even ask questions for each other for no reason. It's because they feel a little confused. After that, no matter how much money they have, they will be able to ask about money transactions. Otherwise, even if Uncle De and Nie Yuji come to thank him, Xu Hao will definitely ask how much money the family is in urgent need of urgent money? Just borrowing a thousand taels of loan notes, whether to repay the money is another matter. Why did you cheat the house?

In short, there will be a cause and a result in things in the world. Xu Hao is generous to the people around him, which does not mean that he is a boy with money everywhere, and he actually does not have much friendship with the Nie family.

Chang Fengdie walked to the spirit shed step by step and started crying at the two coffins. Chang Lu whispered behind her: "Sister, please cry less. Mom is going to be angry again."

Chang Fengdie knelt on the ground and choked and said, "My uncle and aunt have loved us for so long. When we die, I have never cried and I can't even cry. I can't even knock my head. It's because I feel bad about my heart."

Everyone persuaded her, but Nie Yuji was so sad that she suddenly fell to the ground. Everyone was so scared that they hurried over to help him up.

After feeding some sugar water, Nie Yuji recovered and Chang advised him: "You don't have to cry all the time. Your sister is half-crazy, and she is just a cry when she is fine. The funeral will be held tomorrow. Let's talk about some serious things."

After saying that, he cried and said, "Child, I will tell you. Your parents are dead, and I will not be able to love you in the future. As the saying goes, relatives come from afar, and neighbors are building walls. I will find a house to move in a few days. I can't control you if you sell three or four or not.

Nie Yuji cried anxiously after hearing this. He really didn't know what hatred his mother and aunt had formed, but he was determined to do so. He cried: "I dare not stop my aunt from moving, but if you don't love me in the future, I will be boring if I live."

It seems that there are so many grievances in this sentence, it is obvious that there is something in the words. It’s a pity that Chang didn’t understand it carelessly, or maybe he deliberately couldn’t hear the meaning of the words, and just thought that the child couldn’t bear to leave her. He felt very sad when he thought of his sister.

Fengdie's heart was cut like a knife, and she stared at Yuji's certificate. She didn't dare to cry even if she had a thousand words, but she didn't dare to make it clear in person.

Xu Hao really wanted to make a couple "qingen". He didn't expect to suddenly get bad news from the He family, saying that his cousin killed He Chunying, and quickly said goodbye to the He family.

When they arrived at the He family, neighbors around the world gathered outside to discuss. They all said that Xiao Yuying was usually very upright and should not have committed murder in the middle of the night. Some people also said that they were forced by He Chunying, and they had to kill someone and ran to commit suicide and were rescued.

Xu Hao squeezed into the crowd and saw that his cousin sat on the ground with a dull look, with no blood on his body.

"Get out of the way." Xu Hao took out a sign from his arms and flashed past the yamen runners' eyes.

When the yamen runner saw the Jinyiwei coming, he hurriedly made way. At this time, the second wife Fan shouted: "No need to say anything, just take this bitch to sue."

The leading yamen runner Niu De said, "Wait first, check it out before you can send it up."

A yamen runner muttered a few words in his ear. Niu De glanced at Xu Hao and frowned and said, "Don't move the things in this room. The dead body has moved in an inch of the ground. You have to be charged with the crime."

At this time, the soldiers patrolling the night were coming one after another with lanterns. The headmaster's deputy household nodded and greeted Niu De first. Without saying a word, he took out the lock and locked Xiao Yuying. Xu Hao quickly blocked it with a backhand. Niu De quickly said, "You must not be rude. This is the Jinyiwei who came from the capital."

"Oh!" Seeing this, Baihu didn't say anything.

He and his family were stunned and thought to themselves that Uncle Xia was still an Jinyiwei, no wonder he ran to Yangzhou alone. It turned out that he was here to handle the case.

The hundred households shouted at Xiao Yuying, "What are you using to chop people? Where is the weapon now? You have to tell the truth."

Xiao Yuying was frightened and still didn't recognize her cousin. She said in a daze: "What weapon? I don't know."

Niu De also asked loudly: "Diet in your house, will you not know?"

"Shut up." Xu Hao became unhappy and asked the second son of the He family directly, "What is the situation? You must tell the truth, otherwise you can't afford to be accused of false accusation."

He Laoer cried and said, "I don't know what's going on. Anyway, Chunying's body was pulled out from the fall of her aunt. The scars on her head were not clearly seen due to the blurred blood. In short, she had to ask her to understand."

Fan stared at his eyes and said angrily: "No need to ask about things. I was asleep at that time. When I heard a whisper, I hurriedly got up and ran to the east room to see it. I didn't even have a figure. Looking down, my son is dead. Even if Chunying had an inappropriate idea, she wouldn't have killed anyone, right?"

Xu Hao looked at the bleached trousers and jacket that his cousin was wearing again. He looked so wet that his whole body was curvy, and there was no trace of a murder. He thought that his cousin was not very strong, and could he still put it under the kang with a random knife?

Hearing my cousin's words on the left and no killing, and the right and somehow, Fan was anxious and shouted, "I don't have time to talk to you, it's you, not you, I'll talk to you later when I arrive at the yamen."

At this time, the Yangzhou Tongzhi Wen Qiushui and Suzhou Promoter Yuan Li came over together. Niu De quickly stepped forward to meet him, told the case again, pointed at Xu Hao, who was expressionless and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Wen Qiushui and Yuan Li looked at each other. These days, the imperial court sent several imperial envoys, and it was not surprising that an Jinyiwei appeared.

As the Promoter, Yuan Li took the initiative to write down the He family's environment first. He saw three northern rooms, each with ear rooms, and each with three east-west rooms, and each with three east-west rooms. He asked He Laoer: "Which room is your family living in? Let's talk about it carefully."

He Laoer pointed and said, "My mother lives in the upper landlord's room, the second mother lives in the Xili room, and Xiao is a concubine living in the east wing. I took Jian Nei and two sons to sit in the west wing. The third Chunying and his wife live in the matching room next to the east wing, and the east wing room is a kitchen."

Yuan Li nodded, Tongwen Tongzhi and Xu Hao walked over together, and saw that although the He family was not rich and noble, it was considered a well-off family, and all the furnishings in the house were very neat.

The south room in the east wing is a dark room, and the outer room is connected by two rooms. On weekdays, He Chunying and his wife live next to Xiao. Not far from their wife's upper room, you can hear a slight movement. Perhaps this is why the He family feels at ease to let them live together.

A sleeping alone under the north gable was set up. There was a brick kang in the south room. Chunying's body was lying in front of the wooden collapse, with blood inside and outside.

Xu Hao looked at Chunying with her spine naked and wearing single pants. There was a knife wound on the right side of her neck. She seemed to die with her eyes open and her body was covered with blood.

Wen Tongzhi shook his head and said, "Even if you want to rape, just shout loudly. What kind of ignorance is there to take such a vicious hand?"

Yuan Li said: "As the saying goes, viciousness is not the heart of a woman. If you are too impatient, you can also slash someone with a knife."

Xu Hao said coldly: "I said that Xiao killed someone and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water tank. Let's go and have a look."

Wen Tongzhi said unhappily: "The trial of the case has nothing to do with the Jinyiwei. It is reasonable to say that you have a relative with the He family, so you should avoid it."

However, Yuan Li looked at Xu Hao with great meaning. He had been an official in Hangzhou for many years, so how could he not know that the governor Xu, who was a very noble minister, had come to the city? The young master with extraordinary demeanor in front of him was also surnamed Xia, and the Xia family, the only male in the famous family in Hangzhou, died under his judgment, so it is not difficult to guess his true identity.

Over the years, Yuan Li was worried that the Mu family would hold a grudge against him at first, but he didn't expect that after so long, he had no private revenge. Yuan Li had learned about Xu Hao's character and was a villain in the capital. So he said at this moment: "It's okay, let's go and have a look together."

He Laoer led the way in front and came to the kitchen. In addition to the furniture such as bowls, chopsticks, knives, spoons, etc., there were two large and small water tanks, and there were many water marks on the ground.

Yuan Li asked, "Which water tank was Xiao thrown into?"

He Laoer replied: "The big one."

After looking carefully for a while, Yuan Li ordered the yamen soldiers to take care of their guards and not move anything. Suddenly, he said to He Laoer: "Just just now, the village chief reported that you were covering the murder weapon. Is this the truth?"

He Lao Er was so scared that he was trembling all over and hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, how can a murder weapon be hidden? I didn't see what the knife looks like, I only heard the officials yelling that it was found from the west wing."

Wen Tongzhi said strangely: 'Since the murder is in the east room, how can the murder weapon be reborn in the west room?'

He Laoer quickly said, "I don't know this."

Yuan Li stared at his reaction, and Xu Hao was the same, repeatedly pondering the entire case in his heart. In ancient times, it was very troublesome to encounter murder cases. Even in modern times, he had to be detained first in collecting evidence. It was impossible to find out the truth in a short period of time. Even if he was promoted to the court, he had to stay in prison for a while. Therefore, my cousin must have been in prison for a while.

Then he checked into each room again, and a soldier said, "I want to say that there must be something wrong with this. Let's just say that, this murderer cannot leave the people from this hospital."

A yamen runner said, "The murderous kitchen knife was found from the east room, and the knife was covered with blood and was wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief."

Yuan Li smiled and said, "This case is very bizarre. First, take the suspect to the yamen, and ask the coroner and others to continue to carefully check the clues and draw the figures."

After saying that, Yuan Li invited Xu Hao to go back to the office for dinner. Xu Hao thought about it and agreed. Wen Tongzhi felt very confused.

After going to Yuan Li's place, the three of them gave each other seats. Xu Hao had nothing to hide at this time and sat down on his head.

Wen Tongzhi was startled and saw Yuan Li respectfully saying: "The official has met Governor Xu."

"Ah!" Wen Tongzhi was stunned immediately, and Xu Hao waved casually: "Those who do not know are not guilty, there is no need to say anything polite, just sit down."

As the saying goes, there is a specialty in Taoism. Xu Hao has high hopes for Yuan Li. After all, it involves a life lawsuit. It is best to be able to return my cousin to innocence. If it is really a cousin who killed someone, then the state has national laws. Even if he is exempted from his cousin's death penalty, he will still be unable to escape. How can he explain to his aunt at that time?
