Little husband, he is born with a good life

After being forced to stay by Cao Liang to help solve the case, Zhou Jinian took Xie Ning to find a painter.

In the evening, Zhou Jinnian and Xie Ning returned to the inn, locked the door, and sat at the table, carefully looking at the portrait.

Xie Ning shuddered as he watched, and covered the portrait with his hand, "The painting really looks... scary."

Zhou Jinnian closed the portrait and held Xie Ning's hand to comfort him.

"It's a good thing the artist didn't ask who was painting." Xie Ning sighed, "Ah...Ji Nian, how are we going to catch him next?"

Zhou Ji Nian replied: "Tomorrow I will go to Wu Dao, borrow a few elite soldiers, and first find out the name of this person privately. After that, there must be evidence, but this evidence cannot be you."

"It's a crime to conceive a jade, your ability to communicate with carp, don't let a third person know." These words were whispered by Zhou Jinnian in a low voice, close to Xie Ning's ear.

The warm breath brushed past his ears, Xie Ning shrank his neck, hugged Zhou Jinian, and said in the same breath: "Okay..."

Zhou Ji smiled young and boasted, "You're so good."

Xie Ning wrinkled his nose, "Hmph! To coax Brother Yu."

Speaking of Brother Yu, Xie Ning sighed again, "It's the second night, I wonder if Brother Yu will cry tonight?"

He asked this question, but he already had the answer in his heart. His son would definitely cry, right?

……

In the Nanyu county yamen courtyard, Brother Yu was sitting on a small bench, with his two small hands in his arms, and his big eyes were staring at the little black dog on the chair. I'm in a good mood.

The little black dog was brought back by his grandfather Zhou Zhoufeng. Zhou Zhoufeng felt sorry for his grandson, but the two adults went to Fucheng to do business, so he could only try to see if he could coax his grandson well.

Brother Yu reached out to grab the little black dog, he couldn't control his strength, so he hugged the little black dog and held it up.

Lin Jin came over and stretched out his hand to correct him, "Brother Yu, it hurts, let go quickly..."

Brother Yu pouted and hugged back, Lin Jin had no choice but to change his method, stretching out his hand and saying, "Grandpa, how about it?"

"Yeah!" Brother Yu nodded briskly, holding the puppy in Lin Jin's hand.

"It's so good." Lin Jin put the puppy back on the chair, made cups with his hands, and said, "Look at Grandpa, his hands are like this, you have to hold it, and it hurts when you pinch it, you know that?"

Brother Yu put his two little paws together obediently, holding them like his grandfather.

"Yes." Lin Jin hugged the puppy lightly and put it back into Brother Yu's hands, letting his grandson hold the puppy in his arms.

"Look, does it stop barking?" Lin Jin stroked the puppy.

Brother Yu understood, looked at Lin Jin, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Ka Ka Ka..."

After two days, he finally smiled, and Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daddy!" Brother Yu suddenly barked at the puppy.

Lin Jin was taken aback, thinking that Brother Yu was asking for Daddy again, but after a closer look, Brother Yu only had eyes for puppies, and kept muttering 'Daddy' in his mouth.

Lin Jin slapped his knees and kept laughing. Brother Yu spoke late, and only 'Daddy' was the most proficient at shouting. He would call 'Daddy' whenever he was hungry or thirsty.

Shout when you have nothing to do, and shout to everyone you see.

"Brother Yu, please give the puppy a name." Lin Jin hurriedly opened his mouth to guide his grandson.

If Zhou Jinnian came back and saw Brother Yu calling a puppy 'Daddy', he would beat Brother Yu's little ass to death.

Brother Yu held it for a while, his little hands became stiff and uncomfortable, so he handed the puppy he was holding to Lin Jin, frowning his little eyebrows, with a little anxious expression, "Hmm!"

"Give it to grandpa?" Lin Jin took the puppy, "Okay, grandpa holds it."

Lin Jin went on to say, "You can name the puppy, my good grandson."

Brother Yu relaxed his hands, and his little eyebrows stretched out, and his tender little paws stroked the soft and warm fur on the puppy's back.

"Aww!" Brother Yu yelled at the puppy, the baby's voice was tender and crisp, very cute.

"Hahahaha..." Lin Jin was amused by his little grandson, "Then call it boil, call it again."

"Ow!"

Lin Jin laughed again.

Brother Yu raised his head and looked at his grandfather, then squinted his eyes along with Lin Jin, grinning and laughing.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Brother Yu still had to hug her and sleep on the bed, Lin Jin naturally disagreed.

"Whose puppy will let him go to bed? Just be naughty and wait for you..." Lin Jin stopped talking, he was going to say that he will beat you when your father comes back.

He didn't dare to mention it, Brother Yu was going to sleep soon, and if he mentioned it again, Brother Yu would have to cry all night.

After playing with the puppy all afternoon, Brother Yu was able to hug the puppy without pinching him. He hugged the puppy in his arms, walked over with small steps, and stuck himself on Lin Jin's lap.

"Yeya..." Brother Yu put his forehead against Grandpa's leg, rubbed his head, then raised his head and smiled softly at Lin Jin, revealing his nine small teeth.

If Zhou Jinnian was on the side, he would definitely say that his son is really like Ning Lang, and he is used to acting like a baby.

Zhou Zhoufeng was also soft-hearted, and also disliked making a fuss, so he also helped persuade Lin Jin: "I brought the dog here after weaning. Where can it get dirty? Just let him."

Lin Jin sighed, and really couldn't make a black face at Brother Yu who was acting like a baby with him.

"You..." Lin Jin stretched out a finger and tapped Brother Yu's forehead.

Then he picked up Brother Yu and put him on the bed, and Brother Yu hugged the little black dog in his arms and curled up in his grandfather's arms. On the second night without his father by his side, he stayed with him and curled up in his grandfather's arms sleep.

When Brother Yu fell asleep, Lin Jin quietly carried the puppy out of the bed, and there was a kennel from an old clothes shop on the floor beside the bed.

……

On the second day, Xie Ning brought two yamen servants, and the yamen servants were dressed in rough cloth shirts as his followers.

The three of them entered the Youshu teahouse and sat down on the first floor. Xie Ning ordered a pot of hot tea and three dishes of snacks.

"By the way, this scholar was on his way to Beijing for the exam, and it rained heavily, what should he do?"

"The scholar took a closer look, eh? There is a small ruined temple ahead..."

The storyteller's tone was ups and downs, and it was the first time Xie Ning listened to the book, and it was very interesting. He drank tea while peeling peanuts, listening with gusto.

The salt-boiled peanuts are indeed very fragrant. If you look carefully, each peanut has been pinched a little, so the peanut kernels are particularly delicious.

In addition to salt, there should be other seasonings in the peanuts, such as pepper, star anise and fragrant leaves.Xie Ning thought in his heart that he would go back and cook for his family, so brother Yu could eat some too.

He sat on the first floor where people came in and out, and his handsome appearance attracted some tea drinkers in the teahouse to stare at him.

Among them, there was a table of three people, who not only looked at him secretly, but also muttered and discussed, they couldn't hear what they were saying from a distance, but their eyes made Xie Ning uncomfortable.

The two yamen servants also had good eyesight. Seeing Xie Ning frowning, they immediately got up and walked in front of the three people, put their hands on their waists to block their sight, and said fiercely, "Just listen to the book well, don't you want your eyes?"

The strong man's yamen servant's voice scared everyone in the restaurant to hold their breath, and the storyteller also stood up on the second floor, shut his mouth and looked down.

Yamen servants are the lowest-ranking servants in the yamen. They come to the yamen for the dirty, tired, and errands. They are small yamen officials who have direct contact with the people. The people do not fight with the officials, so they often get some benefits from the people.

If things go on like this, some yamen servants will smash and extort and infringe the common people if they don't get benefits, and each of them has developed a vicious face towards the common people.

In private, the people call the servants "Ya beetles", which means that the servants are a bunch of moths that erode utensils.

"The people don't fight with the officials" in the common people's mouth, most of them refer to the yamen servants.

With a 'bang' sound, another yamen servant directly slammed his palm on the table, "Don't let me glance around, do you hear me!"

It's nasty, but it works...

This episode caused fear in the eyes of the people in the teahouse, but there was only a small figure with excitement in their eyes.

This little man was the little girl who came to buy peanuts yesterday and was stopped outside the teahouse.

Xie Ning was no longer disturbed by other people's eyes, and listened to the book comfortably.

"The pear blossoms that the little fox was weeping brought rain, and went straight into the scholar's arms..."

"..." Xie Ning's lips parted slightly, and he was stunned. What is the direction of the plot?

Xie Ning sat firmly like a mountain, and glanced at the yamen servants sitting on the left and right, they were fascinated.

Turning his head slightly again, he looked at the scholars around him, and several of them looked yearning and obsessed.

"..." Xie Ning was speechless, turned his head back, and listened to the book bravely.

After being forced to listen to the eclectic "Xiucai rushing to take the exam on a rainy night" all afternoon, Xie Ning got nothing and went back to the inn.

Zhou Jinian hadn't come back yet, so he went to touch the book that Zhou Jinian had brought with him to read, and he could barely understand it after stuttering, it was a book on farming management.

It was a little boring for Xie Ning, after all, he couldn't read all the words, the more he read, the more sleepy he became, and he fell asleep on his stomach before he knew it.

When Zhou Jinnian came back, he saw Xie Ning with his head resting on his arm, holding his book in his hand, his eyes closed tightly, his sleeping face flushed.

Zhou Jinnian gently removed the book from Fu Lang's hand, hugged Xie Ning and put him back on the bed.

"Hmm..." Xie Ning didn't respond when he was picked up, but as soon as his back touched the cold bed, he left and woke up with his eyes open, "Lone Year?"

"Yeah." Zhou Jinnian put him down and covered him with a quilt, "Go to sleep, I'm back."

Xie Ning rubbed his eyes, sat up, and fell into Zhou Jinnian's arms like a soft bone, with his arms loosely around her husband's waist.

"Have you found that person?" Just after waking up, her voice was soft.

"It's locked. His name is Zhang Ren. He's a scholar. I'll show you from a distance tomorrow. If you're sure it's him, find a reason to arrest him and interrogate him carefully."

Xie Ning nodded in Zhou Jinnian's arms, remained silent, closed his eyes to wake up.

Zhou Jinnian knew him well, so he definitely couldn't fall asleep now, so he asked, "Go downstairs for dinner, or should I ask Xiaoer to bring it up?"

"Send it up." Xie Ning replied lazily, not wanting to go downstairs.

After Zhou Jinnian ordered the waiter, the food was served soon, and the couple sat at the table and chatted while eating.

Xie Ning asked: "If it's really Zhang Ren, if there's no evidence to arrest him, will he startle the snake?"

"..." Zhou Jinnian was silent for a moment, and said what was in his heart, "Li Yu saw him throwing the dead man's head into the moat with his own eyes, so he must be involved in this case. For such a cruel murderer, I want to arrest him immediately. , tortured."

Xie Ning stopped his chopsticks in the air, pouted his greasy mouth and kissed Zhou Jinnian, "Why do you trust me so much?"

Communicating with the carp, such a weird thing, was unheard of, Xie Ning himself didn't dare to believe it, but Zhou Jinian firmly believed in what he said.

"In this world, apart from you, Xie Ning, there is no one I can trust more." Zhou Jinian said calmly.

"Hmm..." Xie Ning pouted embarrassingly, then got back to the topic and said, "But I only saw him throwing that into the river, how can we prove that he committed the crime?"

"Since you're curious, I'll explain it to you." Zhou Jinnian put down his chopsticks, and the bad taste came again. He was sure that after listening to his talk, the little husband would be too scared to sleep at night.

Can't sleep, he just can teach Ning Lang to do some exercises.

"I asked Cao Liang, if the murderer is identified, but there is no evidence at the first time, you can start from the following points."

"First of all, listen to his words, even if he knows that the confession is false, let him say it, then write it down, ask the details based on the sophistry confession, and check whether the facts are true."

"If doubts are brought up, but the prisoner is still cheating after being tortured in every possible way, he must be whipped and looted to make him submit...the punishment with the whip and stick is light..."

Zhou Jinnian held Xie Ning's white and tender hand, said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Pinch your fingers and press your ankles, and put your fingers into the bamboo board one by one. Overtime, there are ropes on both ends. Two strong yamen servants pull one side, It gets tighter and tighter..."

He deliberately lowered his voice, said in a deep voice, and slowly tightened his hands.

"Ah!" Xie Ning was hurt by his pinched hand, he yelled softly, and immediately reacted, he raised his other hand and pinched Zhou Jinnian's ear.

"Hiss..." Zhou Jinnian made a miscalculation, and Ning caught him off guard, "Isn't it just playing tricks?"

"Hmph!" Xie Ning withdrew his hand, wrinkled his nose and said fiercely, "And then?"

Zhou Jinnian raised his eyebrows, brushed off his sleeves with both hands, and acted like a rascal, "Stop talking."

Xie Ning smiled flatteringly, got up and sat on Zhou Jinnian's body, softened his voice, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

"Of course." Zhou Jinian put his arms around the narrow waist that came to the door.

Xie Ning put one hand on the back of Zhou Jinnian's head, leaned over to peck and kiss Zhou Jinnian's ear, then buried himself down, leaning on Zhou Jinnian's shoulder, with his forehead against Zhou Jinnian's warm neck, "I was wrong……"

Zhou Ji smiled young, picked him up and returned to the bed, "Little idiot, you are still so obedient after being scared?"

"Hmph..." Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were as cute as ever, and even more gentle, "I was wrong."

He has grown up, but he still likes to fight with Zhou Jinnian and act like a baby.But the little brother who often beats his husband is too fierce.

So he wanted to change it, and now he acted like a baby to Zhou Jinnian, but he was actually apologizing.

"Idiot." Zhou Jinnian lay down beside him, leaned on his side, supported his head with one hand, and gently touched the little husband's face with the other, and said softly: "I only provoke you on purpose if I like it."

Knowing that if Xie Ning is offended, Xie Ning will screw him up, but he just likes it, and he likes being screwed.Especially on the bed, stimulating.

"However, you were right just now. I will ask people who are close to Zhang Ren tomorrow to find out Zhang Ren's motive for killing. If there is a motive, the interrogation is justified."

Xie Ning nodded, and returned to the topic, "The wronged Qu Wenbo said in his confession that he bought the three-color thrush from a young lady for five taels of silver, and that young lady may be an insider."

"The only one who has seen the little lady is Qu Wenbo, and Qu Wenbo was wronged to death. Zhang Ren's family has a wife and a daughter. They are just a ten-year-old daughter and wife. They don't fit the title of little lady."

In the Qing Dynasty, xiaoniangzi refers to a woman who is as young as Ji, but has not been married, and has not yet had her hair tied up.

"Tomorrow, take a look at Zhang Ren first. If you are sure that Li Yu saw him, I will take a few policemen to visit Zhang Ren's neighborhood unannounced." Zhou Jinian turned over and sat up, "I call a bucket of hot water, wash yourself up and rest .”

Xie Ning responded, still thinking about the case.

……

On the third day, Xie Ning followed Zhou Jinnian to meet a government servant dressed as a farmer.

Yamen servant: "My lord, Zhang Ren was a scholar in the 34th year of Qingyuan. He came to the door to be the master of the son of a squire. He didn't go there for only half a year. I don't know the reason. Afterwards, he studied hard at home, copied books for bookstores, and helped the common people write books. Faith lives."

Zhou Ji Nian asked: "Who does he have close contacts with? How does the neighborhood get along?"

"According to his neighbor Aunt Wu, there are often scholars in and out of his house, and sometimes they come home very late, but they don't know where to get back. Aunt Wu's husband is a watchman. He is not at home at night and has to catch up on sleep during the day. It's not convenient for women to communicate with neighbors, so they can't find out anything."

Zhou Jinian nodded, "Continue to stare at him, see who the scholars are with him, write them down one by one, I will ask questions later."

"Yes." The yamen servant bowed his hands and stepped back.

Zhou Jinnian tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp 'dong dong' sound.

"Zhang Ren doesn't go out every day, so it's difficult to identify him. In this way, you should go to Youshu Tea House today. If Zhang Ren goes out, I will let the spies report it. You can identify him when he returns home."

Zhou Jinnian stood up, and was about to send the young man to Youshu Teahouse, "I'll visit Calabash Alley unannounced and ask questions. I'll take you to the teahouse first, and I can't accompany you today. Listen to the books by yourself, be good."

Xie Ning nodded obediently, "Yeah."

"Can those two messengers do their duty yesterday?"

"Well, it's so fierce, people who listen to the book are afraid to look at me."

Zhou Jinnian laughed, looking very satisfied.

Xie Ning gave him a look, and led the two yamen servants yesterday to the teahouse.

Today in the teahouse, the storyteller changed the story, it was still ghosts and spirits, and it was still love between men and women.

"It is said that there is a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam..."

"..." Xie Ning took a deep breath, and pinched the opened peanut again and again.

"The scholar had to stay overnight in the Wuwang Temple. He knelt down and prayed to the statue of Wuwang, then closed his clothes and went to sleep... Guess what?"

"..." Xie Ning drank tea, thinking what else to do?Fall asleep and dream.

"The scholar fell asleep! In his sleep, the Valkyrie gave the scholar a black dress! You must be curious, does this black dress have any miraculous effect? ​​Is it some kind of treasure?"

"That's right, the scholar woke up and put on the black clothes, and turned into a crow!"

Xie Ning only felt that he was out of tune with the scholars in this room, and he really didn't think this story was interesting to listen to.

"...The scholar and the blue bird became a couple. They wished to be lovebirds in the sky, and Lian Lizhi in the ground..."

"...The blue bird learned that the scholar was going to Beijing for the exam, so with a flick of his jade finger, he transformed into a hundred taels of real gold and gave it to the scholar. It was agreed that the man would come back to Wuwang Temple to propose marriage after high school..."

"...In desperation, the high school Jinshi scholar had no choice but to marry the governor's daughter. Everyone must ask, what should the blue bird do?"

"Hehe... Everyone's tea is cold, add another pot and drink it first. Wait for me to go for a while, and come back and continue to talk about the next part."

After finishing speaking, the storyteller stood up, brushed his knees, walked slowly downstairs, and left the teahouse.

Immediately, Xie Ning heard the surroundings guessing the plot from the scholar's story, and the discussion was in full swing.

The waiters in the teahouse asked from table to table, "Do you want to refill your tea?"

"What kind of continuation?"

"Five cents a pot. When the tea is hot, the master will come back and continue telling stories."

"Continue."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Xie Ning looked at the door boredly, and didn't know whether he wanted to see the murderer enter the teahouse, or hoped that Zhou Jinnian would send someone to report and pick him up to identify the murderer.

When he looked at it, he saw the dark-skinned little girl again, still holding a bowl in her hand, but this time no one stopped her, but she didn't come in either.

The little girl also saw him, smiled at him, and hugged the bowl in her hand even more tightly.

The eyes met, and the other party was still very friendly, Xie Ning couldn't help being kind, stood up and walked towards the little girl.

The two yamen servants followed him, seeing that he was just going to the door, under their noses, they sat still and continued to peel the peanuts.

"But want to buy peanuts again?" Xie Ning walked over and bent down, and asked first.

The little girl still lowered her head, shrunk her head, only dared to raise her eyes to look at Xie Ning, and whispered: "The money is lost..."

"Huh?" Xie Ning lowered his body again, but he didn't hear clearly.

"I have no money to buy peanuts." The little girl licked her lower lip and said pitifully, "I will be beaten when I go back."

A bowl of peanuts costs only six cents, Xie Ning said, "Give me the bowl, I'll have a bowl with you."

The little girl didn't let go of the bowl and didn't say a word, she just stood stubbornly looking at Xie Ning, and said, "My house is in Hulu Alley, B Lane Zhang's house."

"Huh?" Xie Ning opened his eyes wide, very puzzled by the little girl's self-reported family name.

The little girl blinked and repeated, "I have no money to buy peanuts..."

It seems that this little girl has some brain problems, Xie Ning guessed in his heart.

Xie Ning had no choice but to take out the money bag, wanting to count the money to the little girl.

"Then go buy it yourself... hey!" Before Xie Ning finished speaking, the little girl turned around and ran away after snatching his money bag.

Xie Ning didn't have time to think, he just ran after the little girl...
