Of course, Cui Qiao couldn't let them succeed. When she saw them coming to tease her young lady, Cui Qiao was just going to follow the law as before and directly throw the soap-clothed clerk over her shoulder.
However, before she could take action, she suddenly heard a clear male voice not far away, "You two gentlemen, please show mercy."
The young man's voice stopped the young official's movements and made Cui Qiao and Jiang Nianjiao follow him.
I saw a young man wearing gray kudzu and linen clothes, with a white jade crown on his head and a handsome figure walking over from a short distance away.
The young man's appearance was only delicate, but he had smiling eyes and kind features. Therefore, his appearance is not annoying at all. Instead, it only makes people feel friendly.
The clerk obviously knew this young man. When he saw him coming, the two men immediately stopped.
When the young man approached, the young man just cupped his hands and said, "Ye Huaizhi, the second eldest son of the Ye family, has met these two officials."
"It turns out to be Second Young Master Ye. Nice to meet you." The two junior officials responded politely.
The man who had been arguing with the two clerks just now felt as if he had been waiting for a savior when he saw his young master coming.
"Sir, Azhe is dead." The man in the short coat said in a very sad voice.
Hearing the man call the second young master of the Ye family, the two young officials didn't understand anything. They just said with a high air, "It turns out he is from the Ye family. Second Young Master Ye, you said this man is heartbroken." It’s normal, but it’s a bit inappropriate to obstruct the government’s law enforcement, right?”
The second son of the Ye family only nodded when he heard this, and then gave the man who was still trying to argue a reassuring look.
"What you two officials said makes sense. It's the laborer in my house who was rude. I'm here to help the two officials on his behalf."
The second Young Master Ye bowed politely, and then took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and said, "I would also like to ask the two officials to spare them because these workers are new to my house and don't understand the rules." people."
Unexpectedly, the two minor officials remained motionless. One of them only smiled and said, "Second Master Ye, it's not that we don't want to spare him, it's just that Mr. Liu sent us here to arrest him. It's really hard for us to explain to Mr. Liu. .”
Ye Huaizhi smiled and nodded, "It's Huaizhi who didn't think well."
After saying this, Ye Huaizhi just took out a few more pieces of broken silver. Then he added, "Huaizhi will definitely come to Mr. Liu's door in the future to explain to Mr. Liu, and he will not embarrass the two officials."
When the two people saw Ye Huaizhi adding more words, they nodded with satisfaction. Then when they were about to walk towards Cuiqiao, Ye Huaizhi only said, "Can you two officials let these two go?" girl?"
When the two officials heard this, they just laughed and said, "Second Young Master Ye is very considerate."
Then the two men warned Jiang Nianjiao, "For the sake of Second Young Master Ye, we won't argue with you this time. But if you are still ignorant, don't blame us for being rude."
After saying this, after waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in rough clothes appeared leading two or three skinny beggars with slightly bloated bellies and ragged clothes.
The middle-aged man only let the beggars stand far away on the edge of the embankment. Then he just sniffed his own arms to make sure there was no peculiar smell. Then the middle-aged man approached the two clerks with a smile. , he first nodded and bowed to the two minor officials and said, "Good afternoon, gentlemen."
The two clerks seemed to dislike this man. Even though he was so particular, they still stood at a distance and said, "A dead body was found here this morning. You can take the person and bury it. After burying it, go to the Yamen." Come and get your money.”
After the two men finished speaking, they left in a swaggering manner.
Their behavior naturally made Cuiqiao extremely dissatisfied, but since her own lady didn't ask her to take action, it was hard for her to take action again.
And the leader of the regiment cupped his hands towards the second young master of the Ye family and said, "Second Young Master."
Ye Huaizhi also shook hands with the man.
Later, when they were about to carry the body away, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly said, "Can this body be left here for now? If you are free, why not help me run some errands? I can only agree with Ren Benzhai." Some insect repellent water, and by the way, please call the doctor from Renbenzhai to come with you."
The leader of the group saw that the only one who made a sound was a female, so he waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go, why don't you go aside? Why are you causing trouble?"
"
Seeing how rude the group leader was, Cuiqiao was about to scold loudly and reveal her identity as a young lady.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nianjiao stopped Cui Qiao from blowing up her identity. She naturally knew that money can make things worse.
Therefore, she just imitated Ye Huaizhi's method and took out a few pieces of broken silver from her sleeve pocket.
When the group leader saw the money, his tone changed. "Girl, it's not that we don't want to help you. It's just that this matter is a matter for the yamen. If we don't handle it well, we won't have this food to eat in the future."
Naturally, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't explain the matter to them in detail. She only promised, "We will ask someone to deal with this person later. Just help me run errands to Renbenzhai. I said I want to find someone named Su." doctor."
When the group leader saw Jiang Nianjiao promising to dispose of the corpse for them, the group leader naturally nodded his thanks. After all, life was really difficult during this period, and now there were either corpses everywhere in the west of the city or sounds of sorrow.
Although these beggars have made some money by relying on the government to carry corpses, the epidemic has not let them go just because they have been reduced to this.
Every day, some of these brothers continue to die. Otherwise, only 23 out of 10 people can work out if they are sick.
He had always suspected that the disease was probably contracted from the corpses they carried, but under the orders of the government, how dare they disobey them.
Therefore, although they were dissatisfied, they could only accept this hard work silently.
Therefore, when they heard that Jiang Nianjiao would handle the matter, they were happy to be the boss.
But after they left, the second young master of the Ye family was still waiting aside.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally couldn't ignore him. Although she didn't expect Second Master Ye to help her out, it was a fact that he did it for her.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao only thanked Mr. Ye.
The second young master Ye also smiled very gently and politely.
Then he just said as if discussing, "You two girls, you see, this person is a laborer in my house. Even if it needs to be dealt with, it should be handled by our own people. How about leaving this person to us?" ?”
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only glanced at the two of them, and then said softly, "After the person comes over, it will be easy to discuss how to place this person."
After saying this, she looked at the loyal man aside and said, "I just heard from this eldest brother that his brother seems to have died strangely. Don't you want to find out the truth?"
Ye Huaizhi smiled and said, "It turns out that the girl has this intention, but I have misunderstood the girl."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't answer, but turned to look at the loyal man and said, "I wonder what the strange thing this elder brother said is?"
When the man heard that the other party wanted to find justice for his brother, he naturally said all at once: "My brother is from Huai'an. He was going to go home to visit relatives a while ago, and his employer also arranged a ten-day stay for him." Fake, but it turned out that after ten days, my brother never returned to Beijing. We all went to the Yamen to report the case several times but found nothing. We had no choice but to let it go, but we didn't expect that now we are in the capital. His body was found.”
When Jiang Nianjiao heard him mention Huai'an, she felt a little moved in her heart, but she still didn't say it directly. She only asked, "How are you sure he was killed?"
Hearing this, the man just sighed in a low voice, "Actually, this kid made an appointment with another brother to leave together when he returned to Huai'an. They also made an appointment to come back together that day, but when they returned, the brother didn't show up. I made an appointment with another brother. The brother thought he didn't wait for me, so he left first. But when I came back, I found out that this guy didn't come back at all, and he didn't buy a return ticket. Moreover, my brother didn't come back from visiting relatives. Here, if he has nothing to do and doesn’t go home, what is he doing here?”@
Jiang Nianjiao nodded after hearing this, and just a moment later, Su Zhirou happened to come over.
Jiang Nianjiao asked Su Zhirou to check the dead man's body.
After checking, Su Zhirou only said, "This person has probably fallen into the water. There are no other injuries on his body. However, this person seems to be infected with silverfish, and his face does not appear to be struggling in pain. If I am not mistaken, He probably died of silverfish infection before he fell into the water. As for when he was infected with the silverfish and when he died, I am not a professional operator after all, but at the moment I am.
Not sure. "
Hearing this, the loyal man remained silent. Instead, the second young master of the Ye family suddenly said, "So, he died of silverfish infection? Speaking of which, there is indeed some insect epidemic in his hometown."
"I think he was infected with the epidemic and didn't know it. He had an attack on the road and died on the road. Some passers-by saw him and threw his body away."
Jiang Nianjiao seemed noncommittal to his statement.
The second young master of the Ye family then said, "No matter what circumstances he died of, since he died of silverfish infection, the body should be burned earlier. Now that the few of them have found out the truth, I don't know." Maybe I can take this body back and dispose of it now?"
Jiang Nianjiao said, "Second Young Master Ye, why are you in such a hurry to make a conclusion? If you are busy, you can leave first. How about I come and inform you personally?"
The second young master of the Ye family didn't say anything. After a while, he just bowed deeply to Jiang Nianjiao, "Then I'll help you, girl. I hope she can keep her promise."
Jiang Nianjiao nodded, "That's natural."
After saying that, Second Young Master Ye left first.
After they all left, Jiang Nianjiao only said to Cui Qiao, "You'd better send a message to Thirteen and ask him to tell His Highness Prince Jin what happened today."
Cuiqiao did not leave directly, but only blew a bamboo whistle.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but asked curiously, "Why are you blowing the bamboo whistle?"
