Chapter 83 This woman is strange

The sun was very strong at noon, and the wind howled, hitting Nie Kaicheng's outer clothes, and blowing the smell of blood into the nose of the clerk guarding the side door.

With a swish, he drew out his saber, "Who are you! Put Miss An down quickly!"

The young Yachai was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very thin.He saw that the strong Nie Kaicheng had not completely restrained his sharpness, and he could not calm down when he smelled such a strong smell of blood.

His eyes were fixed on his hands and expression, as long as there was something wrong, he would stab it!
Nie Kaicheng didn't intend to be as knowledgeable as a small clerk, he took a step back and hugged the sleeping Yue'er away from his arms, slightly stretched his arms and stretched them forward to show his position.

"I am a villager from Huanshan Village. I was entrusted by Miss Shu to meet your lord. Miss An was rescued by chance."

The last time I came to the county government office, it was the same person who guarded the side door, but he only remembered the girl, not him.

It's no wonder that my unshaven face and dejected face at that time were very different from the current mental outlook, so it's reasonable not to remember.

As soon as the yacha heard this, he slightly lowered the tip of his knife and stared at him seriously to identify the authenticity of what he said. Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a plain dress rushed out of the door.

"Yue'er!" Mrs. Qi rushed forward and snatched her daughter, staring at Nie Kaicheng's eyes with a frown, and suddenly loosened her brows, "I know you, you used to eat with Miss Shu in the back office!"

"Yes, ma'am has a good memory." Nie Kaicheng smiled heartily and bowed his hands.

Qi held her daughter in her arms and looked down at her face carefully, her usual decent expression was a little anxious, "What's wrong with Yue'er? It doesn't look like she's asleep? Did you see my servant girl? Come with me first, I'll bring you You go to see my adults."

"Yes." Nie Kaicheng followed her two steps away.

"It's a long story. Miss An was knocked unconscious by a gangster. But madam, don't worry too much, she will wake up after a while. If madam wants to wake her up, you can pinch someone."

"As for the maid that Madam mentioned, is it a woman with a blue calico headband and a small mole on the end of her right eyebrow?"

"It's fine, I'm relieved. It's the woman you mentioned. Why didn't she come back with you? Could it be that she was killed?"

Generally, guests are chosen in the living room, but after hearing that he was entrusted by Miss Shu to meet the lord, Mrs. Qi led him directly to the study.

In the living room, it is inevitable that there will be servants walking around, and there are many people, so the study room is relatively secluded.

"The whole story is a bit complicated, let me tell you when I see you."

"Alright."

Qi Shi is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and rarely does unreasonable things.Seeing the heaviness of his words, doubts arose in his heart.It's just that she abides by women's virtues, and generally doesn't talk to outsiders unless necessary.

Standing still outside the door of the study, tidying up, knocking on the door lightly, with a gentle tone: "My lord, Huanshan Village has guests."

There was the sound of chairs and stools being dragged in the room, and An Xingzhou, who was dressed in normal clothes, opened the door, and saw his wife standing aside with her sleeping daughter in her arms, with puzzled eyes.

Turning his head to look at Nie Kaicheng who was about to kneel and salute again, his nostrils fluttered, he raised his hand to hold his arm, and said solemnly with lowered brows: "Mianli, why does your body smell so strong?"

"The concubine resigns." Seeing that they had an important matter to discuss, Qi hugged her daughter and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, ma'am." Nie Kaicheng stood up straight with his hands down, and lowered his voice: "My lord, Caomin has something important to report, which concerns Miss An and even your family."

An Xingzhou's heart was shocked when he heard the words, he looked around and said in a low voice, "Follow me inside and talk about it in detail."

The study room is simple, with a whole wall of newly built bookshelves, a corner cabinet, a drawer, a desk, a square tea table and matching round stools, a small couch, and nothing else.

Nie Kaicheng didn't care to look at the furnishings carefully, and waited for An Xingzhou to sit down, then stood aside and organized his words to speak in a deep voice.

"Caomin was entrusted by Ms. Shu to come to the county today to purchase cotton for the winter, and was going to ask the adults for a few thin ropes made of beef tendon as bowstrings for playing cotton. There were also Ms. Zhu and Brother Hu from the same village. arrive."

An Xingzhou nodded, with a complicated expression, pointing to the back of his hand and to his clothes that were gradually stained with blood.

"Send someone to search for one or two in the county government warehouse later. But your body..."

As an official of the imperial court, when such a scene occurred within his jurisdiction, he didn't know what to say for a while.

At first glance, he was caused by a fight. It is very difficult for him to do this wounding and murder without giving a suitable reason.

Nie Kaicheng pressed the back of his hand nonchalantly, "I just rushed to the county office today to find a place to eat in South Street, and I accidentally saw Miss An flashing across the residential alley."

Halfway through speaking, he turned to Qi and said: "The grass people saw that the woman was a martial arts practitioner, and saw that she did not send the sleeping Miss An back to the county government but took her to the residential alley, so they became suspicious and chased after her. "

"This woman has strong martial arts skills and fierce attacks. She is definitely not an ordinary practitioner. As soon as she saw that I had the intention of capturing alive, she immediately ended her life. Moreover, she has an accomplice."

Having said that, Nie Kaicheng stopped talking, waiting for the couple to understand the point of his words.

"Mr. Lu is actually a martial arts practitioner? I've never heard of it." An Xingzhou turned to look at Mrs. Qi, asking with dewy eyes.

He is busy with official duties, and he rarely intervenes in the affairs of the back house.

I heard from my wife that a hungry person was brought back recently, and the woman later lived in the back house.Recently, I often take Yue'er out to play in the wind in the afternoon.

The woman was quiet and didn't like to talk, and she did some chores every day.

"No wonder... no wonder..." Qi felt terrified, and hugged the girl in his arms tightly.

"One time I was doing embroidery work on the porch, and she and Yue'er came back from outside. Maybe she was thirsty, and when Yue'er tiptoed to reach for the water glass, she accidentally swept down the snack box next to her."

"I glanced at it by accident, and saw that she bent down and opened her hand to catch the box without spilling a single peanut. At that time, I only thought that her hands and feet were nimble, but I never thought about it."

An Xingzhou's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately buried himself in thought.

This woman's arrival was strange and coincidental.

Madam would go to the vegetable market every few days to buy some meat for Yue'er's health, and the woman picked it up at the entrance of the vegetable market.

He said that he refused to let his elder brother pawn his only dowry, so he was beaten to death and left there.

Seeing her wounded and bleeding, the lady brought her back to give her medicine and food.

The woman begged his wife to take her in, saying that she had had enough of the humiliation of being a concubine, and she didn't want any reward, but only asked for enough food.

Thinking about it carefully at this time, it was actually full of loopholes.

Why did she live in the county government but choose to rest in peace?Is it really because of family ugliness that he dare not publicize it?

At that time, it was all because of the injury that limited people's attention, and Madam believed what she said.When Madam came to tell him again, he believed half of it.

After staying here, she had to rush to work because she was injured. She was less talkative and diligent, so that no one could find fault.

Combined with the receipt of Yi Wang's secret letter, the above-mentioned death of the empress dowager made him pay attention to political opponents attacking him.Not more than three days before and after.

He thought that the so-called attack was murder, so he didn't go out for anything.

At this moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, and silently raised his head to look at Qi and his daughter.

What if, instead of directly taking his life, they collected information and used their wife and daughter to threaten him to betray him...
