Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

The officer's mouth opened wide and his eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Not an outsider?

Aren’t Marquis and Nan Xi outsiders?
"Um, I'm going to make some tea." The officer turned around and ran away.

Nan Xi: "..."

"Do you have anything to tell me, Lord Marquis?" Nan Xi asked.

They met twice a day. She didn't meet her master so often.

Murong Tao asked her to sit down, and then said: "It's about the new construction of Muzhang Village in the north of the city. I found that it is difficult for people there to seek medical treatment, so I want to build a medical center. It doesn't need to be big, but it only needs to be big enough to serve that village and nearby people." It's good for people to see a doctor, but I can't trust ordinary doctors, so I thought of you."

When Nan Xi read the original work, he didn't pay much attention to Bo'an Hou, but he didn't expect that he was so kind-hearted and wanted to build a medical center for the people in the village.

But whether he really has good intentions or just to win over people's hearts is unclear.

But subconsciously, she hoped it was the former.

It feels weird.

Just like this weird feeling of intimacy now, it came out of nowhere.

"Me?" Nan Xi chuckled: "But I am a co-worker of the government office, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of both."

Murong Tao came prepared: "I heard from people in the village that you once went there to give them free medical treatment. They all trust you, and you don't have to go to the small medical center every day. As long as they have As long as I can find you when I need you, I will pay for the monthly payment, consultation fees, and their medicines."

Now that the words have come to this point, Nan Xi can no longer refuse and can only accept.

"Master Marquis, actually I have something to ask you." Nan Xi paused and continued: "It's about the kidnapping of your wife more than ten years ago. I know you may not be willing to mention it. But now it is about human lives, and if Shi Wenxi is not arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible, I am afraid that other people will continue to suffer."

Murong Tao was slightly startled, not expecting Nan Xi to mention this matter, but he was not angry, but the smile at the corner of his mouth dimmed a little.

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask."

As for what Nan Xi meant by 'a matter of human life', he didn't ask in detail.

King Gong could sense that a major crime was happening, and so could Murong Tao. It was just that some things had to be confused to avoid being alone.

Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Marquis Bo'an was not as 'unkind' as Zhang Captou and others said.

"Master Hou, after Shi Wenxi kidnapped his wife, were there any servants in the Hou family who disappeared or died?"

Murong Tao did not expect that this was what Nan Xi was asking. After thinking about it, he said, "It is true that a follower slipped and fell to his death after drinking."

What a coincidence.

If Nan Xi was just guessing just now, now she can almost conclude that this follower is definitely not a simple drunken stumble.

"It is rumored that Shi Wenxi committed crimes alone and had no companions. In fact, it is not that he did not have any, but he later killed his companions and silenced them." Nan Xi said.

Murong Tao was shocked: "You mean that follower is an insider?"

Nan Xi nodded: "It's very possible. Can you think of anything else about that follower? For example, what habits does he have or what relatives he has?"

Although it was a long time ago, because that follower was a relatively trustworthy person, Murong Tao still remembered it.

"His name is Jiang He. He is the cousin of one of my wife's maids. He is a decent person, hard-working, quite smart, and has some basic skills. So every time my wife goes out to offer incense or go for an outing, I ask him to Take someone to follow.”

Rivers?

Another character who has never appeared in the original work.

"Where is that maid?" Nan Xi asked.

Murong Tao's face was not very good, as if he didn't want to mention this person: "When you get married, you don't have children in your family. When you get older, my wife will let you go out of the house. I don't want to delay your future." Nan Xi Suddenly I remembered that in the original book, although the Bo'anhou couple had a deep relationship, they still had a knot in their minds. There was a maid who wanted to climb into bed. The book did not mention whether it was successful or not, but in the end the maid did get married.

Could it be this person?
"What's the maid's name?"

"Jiang Wan."

Nan Xi: "!"

"What's wrong?" Murong Tao asked hurriedly.

Nan Xi shook his head: "Nothing."

It shouldn't be such a coincidence.

So the original adoptive mother actually worked as a maid in Bo'anhou Mansion, and even tried to climb into bed?

"Nan Wu Zuo!" The government servant who just ran away hurried back: "There is a murder case. The proprietress of Nanji Rice Shop is dead."

Nan Xi stood up suddenly: "Who are you talking about?"

The officer repeated again: "She's the proprietress of Nanji Rice Shop and Nanji Jewelry Shop."

……

Time went back to two hours ago.

After making several inquiries, Bai found Nan Kee Jewelry Shop.

Nan Huaidong had just returned from purchasing goods and was drinking tea at the counter. He drank several cups in large gulps. When he saw the noble Bai, he quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Ma'am, please come in and pick out whatever you want to buy. If you don't like these, I still have new ones here."

Nan Huaidong was about to take out the newly purchased goods when Bai stopped him.

"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something." She was not ignorant of the ways of the world. She took out a piece of silver and handed it over: "Guan Mansion bought a pair of jade bracelets from you for a wedding. They were of extremely fine quality. Well, there is also a gold hoop on it, and the pattern is of blooming peonies."

The smile on Nan Huaidong's lips still hung, but there was a chill deep in his eyes.

He did not interrupt Bai and waited for her to continue.

Bai asked: "I want to know where you got those jade bracelets?"

Nan Huaidong: "Could it be that Madam is mistaken? We don't have such good things here. I've never even seen the style you mentioned."

Bai believed that there was no need for Guan Yuansheng and his wife to lie to her, "Shopkeeper, think about it again. Although the quality of the pair of jade bracelets is very good, there is a black spot on the side of one of them."

Nan Huaidong thought for a while and shook his head: "I really have no memory. That's it. Madam, I usually only take care of the rice shop. I don't know much about jewelry. It's all under my control, but today she doesn't At home, I’ll ask her when she comes back?”

"Then I'll trouble you." Before leaving, Bai bought two hairpins.

Nan Huaidong stood in the shop, watching Bai's retreating figure, the corners of his mouth gradually narrowed, he closed the door directly, returned to the bedroom in the backyard, opened the secret compartment under the bed, and found the wooden box containing the bracelet. Really empty!
With a flash of cruelty in his eyes, he left through the back door and hurried out of the city.

The Nan family's business has been very good recently. Not only did they open two stores, Nan Mingkun's business partnership with others has also improved and they have made a lot of money. Jiang Wan thinks that this is all because she came to the Temple of Wealth to worship before, so she specially made a special trip today. Come to fulfill your wish.

The Temple of Wealth is on a mountain, and you have to hike up the mountain to look sincere.

Jiang Wan had gained weight recently and was walking very slowly and out of breath. Before she reached the Temple of Wealth, she heard someone calling her.

Turning around, she looked surprised: "Why are you here?"

Come on, it’s the murderer
