[Comprehensive Water Margin] Female supporting role is not bad

Ni Xi went all the way to Zhang Dahu's study room, avoiding the sight of the guards at the door, she sneaked in.

The study was pitch-black. Fortunately, those who practiced martial arts had better night vision, and there was a ray of moonlight coming in from the window, which made the study a little brighter.

With this faint light, Ni Xi began to search.

What she is looking for is the evidence of Zhang Dahu selling private salt,

The government strictly forbids the sale of private salt.However, the more it is prohibited, the more rampant the private sale of salt is, and many rich and gentry rely on this to make their fortunes.

The reason why Zhang Dahu was able to make a fortune and become a tyrant in Qinghe County is inseparable from the sale of private salt.This industry is hugely profitable, and he bullied and flattered others together with the magistrate of Qinghe County, accumulating a lot of wealth.

There will always be a tail in everything, but I don't know where Zhang Dahu will put things.

It has to be said that Zhang Dahu's study is equivalent to a decoration. Most of the books in it are brand new, and it is obvious that his master has not touched them.Ni Xi went to a corner and found several vulgar and vulgar scripts.Finally, after searching almost all over the place, Ni Xi finally found what she wanted in a hidden compartment on the right side of the bookshelf.

Inside are the letters between Zhang Dahu and the magistrate, mentioning how to operate the private salt, and Zhang Dahu's purchase order, no wonder Zhang Dahu is so rich.

After folding the things and putting them in his arms, Ni Xi planned to go out.

As soon as she took a step, she suddenly stopped and pressed her body tightly against the bookshelf, hiding her voice.

In the darkness, Ni Xi stared motionlessly at the direction of the window, ready to face unknown dangers at any time.

Just now, she suddenly heard a "squeak" from the window, followed by the sound of someone's footsteps coming in through the window.

Can be heard clearly by her, this person should not be very powerful.

Ni Xi relaxed and planned to see who it was.

The person who came seemed to have the same purpose as Ni Xi, and was also searching in the study room. The enemy was in the open, but she was in the dark. That person didn't notice the existence of Ni Xi.

With the help of a faint ray of moonlight, Ni Xi could barely see the person coming.

It was a young man, probably a few years older than her, wearing dark clothes, his face was covered by a black cloth scarf, and only a pair of peach blossom eyes with slightly raised tails were exposed.

Seeing that the young man was about to come to her after rummaging, and there was no place to hide in this room, Ni Xi simply acted preemptively, sneaking up behind the young man while he was not paying attention, and slashed down fiercely with the knife in his hand. Looking at the boy's waist, the boy was caught off guard by Ni Xi's uniform and pressed against the wall.

As for why Ni Xi's knife was aimed at the boy's waist and abdomen instead of the neck, the main reason was that she was half a head shorter than him, and it was really impossible for him to do it.

"Who?" The young man was frightened and said in a hoarse voice, a bit like a drake's voice.

Ni Xi pressed her tightly so that the boy could not turn his head to see her face clearly.

"Who are you and why are you here?" She deliberately lowered her voice and asked forcefully.

"I..." The boy didn't expect that the one who subdued him was actually a woman, and the voice was about the same age as him, which really surprised him.

He didn't answer, but asked instead: "Then what about you, who are you?"

"Who I am has nothing to do with you."

Ni Xi narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Let me guess, are you looking for something?"

The boy was silent.

Ni Xi continued to speak slowly: "Besides, is that thing the evidence about Zhang Dahu selling private salt?"

"how do you know?"

The young man's expression was moved, and he subconsciously asked, and the next second, a trace of annoyance flashed in his bright peach eyes.

Why did he ask such a stupid question? The person behind it obviously came earlier than him, before he entered the study, and he knew it so clearly, maybe...

"Is it in your hand?" He asked quickly.

Ni Xi raised his eyebrows, as a tacit consent.

In fact, she was just testing the boy just now, and she wasn't quite sure what the boy was looking for was the same as her.Although she didn't know the identity of this young man, but she needed to sneak into Zhang Dahu's mansion in the dark, at least this person would not be friends with Zhang Dahu, and it would be easy if he wasn't a friend.

What's more, at this time, the two have the same purpose.

Seeing that there was no movement behind him for a long time, the boy couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "Can you give me something? I need this thing very much."

"You have to tell me what to do with it first?" Ni Xi asked the boy.

"What I want to hear is the truth." While speaking, she exerted some force on her arms, and the boy let out a soft "hiss" under the heavy pressure.

"Take it easy." He muttered in his heart, how could a girl have such great strength at such a young age.

However, under Ni Xi's strong pressure, he chose to tell the truth.

"Of course it's the fat guy."

"I made a lot of money by selling private salt, and then suppressed the business of other shops in Qinghe County. We are almost driven to a dead end by him..."

"Ah." The boy realized that his words had exposed his identity, so he quickly stopped, keeping his mouth tightly shut.

Ni Xi chuckled, his voice was particularly easy and loud in the dark.

The boy seemed to have been insulted, and his peach blossom eyes widened, "What are you laughing at?"

Of course it's to laugh at you for being stupid, silly boy.

Ni Xi smiled and asked curiously: "Qinghe county magistrate and Zhang Dahu have a nest of snakes and rats, even if there is evidence, it's useless, what are you going to do?"

Ni Xi's original plan was to find a way to secretly hand over the evidence to the prefect of Qingzhou, and the prefect would deal with it and catch them all.

I just don't know if the teenager has a better way than her.

The young man snorted proudly, "We have our own way."

"Oh, what way?" Ni Xi asked.

"Why tell you?" The boy said with disdain in his peach eyes.

Ni Xi smiled: "Unless you don't want the evidence in my hand."

"...Okay, I'll say that's it."

"We got the news that the governor will be here in half a month, and we plan to hand it over to him."

"Why not the prefect of Qingzhou?" Ni Xi questioned.

"you're so dumb."

Although the boy couldn't turn his head around, he still couldn't hide the contemptuous tone in his words.

"The magistrate of Qingzhou and the county magistrate of Qinghe County are in the same group, right? They are both subordinates of Tong Guan. As for the governor, he is a member of Cai Jing and Cai Taishi, and he will definitely not let this matter go easily."

So that's the case.

Ni Xi really didn't know about this matter, she was very glad that she didn't hand over the evidence in her hand to the Qingzhou prefect, otherwise she would get into a whole lot of trouble instead of getting things done.

"okay, I get it."

Ni Xi took out the letter from his arms and put it on the table, "The things are here, take a look"

Anyway, if things are given to the young man, she won't suffer if things are done or not.

Of course, it's best if it can be done.

After finishing speaking, she let go of the young man, and while the young man was reading the letter on the table, she quickly moved to the window, opened the window and walked away.

This set of movements was done so silently that even the guards outside didn't notice it at all.

As for the boy who stayed in the study, after reading the letter to make sure it was correct, he carefully folded the letter and put it away neatly.

It was quiet in the study, and he was the only one.

Without further ado, he had to leave quickly.

As soon as he took a step, his feet seemed to be cushioned by something. The young man bent down to pick it up and put it by the window to look. He saw it was a beige sachet with two blooming lotus delicately embroidered on it. There are also a few fine print.

The boy looked closer and found that it seemed to be a person's name embroidered.

"Bai Yulian."

The young man hooked his lips, and his peach blossom eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

Is that Bai Yulian?

Dare to treat me like this, I will remember you!
