he walks in the world

Chapter 100 This damn charm

Jinling government office, criminal justice court.

Xue Hongyi hurried in from the outside, and saw the corpse with the severed arm lying in the middle at a glance. A policeman behind her hurriedly took out a package, took out a severed arm from inside, and moved closer to the corpse.

"Boss, it is indeed the murderer from last night!" said the policeman.

Xue Hongyi looked at Du Ruo who was sitting on a chair drinking tea in surprise, walked over quickly, and asked, "You brat, how did you meet this murderer? Are you not injured?"

Du Ruo put down the teacup slowly, cupped his hands and said, "I have some business to go to the Qinhuai River today..."

"What!" Xue Hongyi suddenly became angry, and said aggressively: "You boy, I told you a long time ago, the outside is dangerous, the murderer has not been caught, it is very likely that you will jump the wall in a hurry, and you still go to the Qinhuai River, Are you reincarnated as a pervert? You don’t want to die, ah! Did you take my words as a deaf ear? The exam is going to be in two days, and you still..."

"cough cough"

At this time, sitting on the court case, Chen Zhifu coughed hard, and said, "Well, Catcher Xue, what do you guys have to do, speak privately, speak privately, this is the court, we are still dealing with novels!"

All the arresting officers in the courtroom all snickered.

Xue Hongyi's face was a little embarrassed, and she glared fiercely at the arresting yamen servants, and no one dared to laugh immediately, so she cupped her hands at the prefect Chen and said, "This subordinate knows."

Chen Zhifu stroked his beard, and said: "Boss Xue, I summoned you here to let you identify the murderer. After all, you have met the murderer and fought against him before."

"My lord," Xue Hongyi cupped his hands and said, "It's been confirmed that this is the murderer. After Mr. Du explains the specific situation here, the case can basically be closed."

"Okay, okay, it's so good, this person has committed a heinous crime, but he has caused a lot of trouble in Jinling." Chen Zhifu said happily.

Du Ruo stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Master Chen, Xue Butou, the students don't know much about this murderer, but when they met this person, the students dealt with him for a while, and learned from him that His name is Chen Yue, and because of personal grievances, he once killed people all over his family..."

Immediately afterwards, Du Ruo picked out some of the stories Chen Yue told him and told them to Chen Zhifu and Xue Hongyi. Sure enough, just like when Du Ruogang heard the reason why Chen Yue killed these scholars, everyone in the court was shocked. shocked.

What a wonderful flower!
"However, Chen Yue really hates the student's rather good appearance too much. Alas, this damn charm made Chen Yue kill the student to vent his anger even if he was seriously injured. Fortunately, the student has also learned some tricks and embroidered legs. Ba Shi, who was seriously injured by everyone in the yamen, rushed to assassinate the student, was careless for a while, and died by my knife accidentally. Of course, as for Chen Yue's situation, the student did not dare to say anything, so he returned to the yamen to investigate. "

There was silence in the courtroom, everyone looked at Du Ruo's face, looked at each other, and then looked at the dead Chen Yue, feeling quite embarrassed.

Someone whispered: "Could it be that my eyesight is not good...it should be, otherwise the murderer wouldn't be so eager to kill..."

…………

At noon, Xue Hongyi and Du Ruo were walking on the street together. After the rain, Jinling was hazy and cold, with figures reflected on the street.

Xue Hongyi was not tall, and walking with Du Ruo, he barely reached Du Ruo's shoulders, but that red dress was heroic and full of aura.

"Stinky boy, you killed the murderer and made a great contribution, but it's a pity that you are not from the yamen, otherwise you can be promoted." Xue Hongyi said.

"It doesn't matter, it can be exchanged for silver taels." Du Ruo said.

Xue Hongyi twitched her lips, and said, "You are honest, you scholars shouldn't be very noble, don't you talk about these vulgar things?"

Du Ruo lightly shook the water drops from the umbrella in his hand, and said with a light smile, "Xue Butou, you read it from those novels, right? Today's scholars are very smart, so there are not many of them." Who would treat myself badly for that fake nobility, not to mention, you forgot, I am a businessman, what am I talking about if I don’t talk about money?"

"All right, all you have is a lot of reason," Xue Hongyi said, "Don't worry, there will be rewards, and there should be around 100 taels."

"It's only 100 taels?" Du Ruo held back his mouth and said, "Isn't the yamen too picky?"

"That's quite a lot. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yue's case was so violent, maybe there wouldn't be so many. The rewards offered by many Jiangyang thieves are not so high. This is my salary for a whole year. You You still despise it?" Xue Hongyi said angrily.

"No way," Du Ruo frowned, and said, "Is the imperial salary so low? Or, Xue Butou, you might as well resign and mix with me. How about I give you 500 taels a year?"

"Forget it," Xue Hongyi said, "As expected of a scholar, he has a smart head and can make money. Back then, when I was in the rivers and lakes, alas, I didn't have more than 20 taels of silver on me. You kid is not good at martial arts, and you can only talk a few words if you keep your mouth shut." One hundred taels."

Du Ruo shook his head, not knowing what to say.

It was the same in that era, the people who really worked hard were the ones who made the least money, and many people looked glamorous, but actually they were powerless inside. Of course, most of them still envied Xue Hongyi's iron job. They can live without worries, which is better than wandering in the rivers and lakes.

As for Du Ruo, in fact, in the previous life, it was equivalent to owning a business. The income is naturally very good, but not everyone can do it. Of course, if he is not very rich, it may not be so. The bills are also big. This time when he went out, he seemed to take a few hundred taels casually. In fact, it was also a big expense for him, but he was used to spending money lavishly.

As for asking Xue Hongyi to hang out with him, of course he was joking. With Xue Hongyi's status, it is impossible to look down on Du Ruo, such a low-level gangster. Besides, with Xue Hongyi's status, salary is just a Form only.

What's more, a tolerance status is so good, even if it is an ordinary county government servant, few people are willing to give up their tolerance status to join gangs.

After sending Du Ruo to the end of the street, Xue Hongyi said earnestly: "Stinky boy, let me tell you, you are still young, don't go to those Goulan cottages, it's not a good place, and it costs money like water, you have to settle down now." Go to the exam with peace of mind, and if you have the title of Juren or Jinshi, no matter whether you are in the future, whether you are in an official career or in the rivers and lakes, you will have a very high status. At that time, what kind of girl you want to find can't be found, why bother to go to the brothel? kind of place?"

Du Ruo asked thoughtfully, "Really?"

Xue Hongyi said with certainty: "Of course I won't lie to you. Think about it, if you are a Jinshi, which girl would not like you?"

Du Ruo suddenly lowered his head, looked at Xue Hongyi and asked solemnly: "Then, if I want to find Xue Butou, can you?"

"what!"

Xue Hongyi's eyes widened. In an instant, his heart started beating extremely fast, and his mind was a little confused. He kept thinking about how to explain to Du Ruo that the two of them were not suitable, but he was also worried that he would hurt Du Ruo, a young man's heart. , I went back and forth in my mind until I saw the smile hidden in the corner of Du Ruo's mouth!
"Stinky boy, are you looking for death, do you think my old lady can't lift a knife?"
