It's night at the He family mansion.
All the elders had gone to bed, leaving only Wei Kui in the yard teaching Zhang Huaiwen, who was only five years old, to practice boxing. Although Zhang Huaiwen has the word "文" in his name and has a shy personality, he is very interested in this strong brother. He and He Xiaoqiu gave these brothers and sisters nicknames - Wei Kui is the big brother, Yan Chunlai is the swallow brother, and Yu Ruyi is the pretty sister.
In the hall, He Nan and Yu Ruyi lit a candle and sat opposite each other on the table, each with a cup of tea in front of them. It was He Nan who spoke first: "I have to praise you, things these days... have been done beautifully."
Of course he was referring to the magical female fortune teller in Xuanyang County these days - of course the anonymous Yu Ruyi. Ever since He Nan showed Yu Ruyi a method of "observing people" in the small restaurant in Luoyan County City, Yu Ruyi had imitated it, and it finally came in handy in the past few days.
Yu Ruyi's inseparable fortune-telling skills were all taught by He Nan - her so-called tutor who was proficient in Feng Shui, fortune telling, and fortune-telling... was He Nan. In fact, she still owed a lot of heat, but it was enough to fool the common people. For example, yesterday, the young master who pretended to be a slave and claimed to be a groom, Yu Ruyi asked him about raising horses, which exposed his flaws - in fact, Yu Ruyi, as the daughter of a wealthy family, did not understand these things, and He Nan also improvised He helped Yu Ruyi out of trouble and cleverly concealed his reputation. These all belong to the category of "adapting to circumstances" that He Nan is best at, and they can be regarded as teaching Yu Ruyi words and deeds.
As for the county magistrate Li Shitong - of course this was a trap specially set by He Nan after doing a lot of investigations. The person he was waiting for... was actually the county magistrate. Li Shitong's official career is not prosperous, and it is not a day or two. Many people know that he burns incense and worships Buddha every day. Whenever some masters of fortune-telling and mystical knowledge want to meet him, He Nan is sure to take Li County. Ling Hui pinned all his fate on the art of prophecy, so he asked Yu Ruyi to disguise himself and act under the guise of fortune telling.
Xiaoyu's name spread throughout Xuanyang County within five days, and He Nan was indispensable. He first used his uncle's name to publicize it to the pharmacy clerks, and then found a few of his childhood friends - this was both laborious and costly, not to mention that he had to investigate some of Li Shitong's history and Doing homework for Xiaoyu.
The "efficacy" in Yu Ruyi's words depends on Brother Yan. What she predicted for some people, "Today you will be able to pick up money" or "Today you will have to fall down at the door of the house," etc., were all Yan Chunlai's busy schedules. He has to deliberately throw away money, and he also has to use hidden weapons to throw stones to trip people up. It can be said that he is the first coolie. Yan Chunlai had no leisure during the day, and had to stay up late at night to keep an eye on him - the content of the note Yu Ruyi wrote to Magistrate Li yesterday was, "There are three moles on your back, one under the left and right ribs and one in the middle of the waist. They are three sheep." A sign of prosperity." These words spoke to County Magistrate Li's heart. Only his parents and wife knew about the three moles on his back, and no one else knew about them. Only after seeing this post did they become convinced of Yu Ruyi. And why Yu Ruyi knew about it - of course it was because Brother Yan went to the house every day and in the middle of the night to spy on Li Shitong.
In comparison, Wei Kui is the most leisurely person. He is responsible for looking after the house and guarding the courtyard, competing with the door god. The Zhang brothers and He Lei now also know the seriousness of what they are facing, so they simply stay at home and practice boxing with Wei Kui every day. They regard it as a way to maintain their health. The adults are practicing in front, and little Huaiwen is there. Learn later, the scenes are also very harmonious and humorous.
The only one who lacked interest was He Xiaoqiu. She was a girl who didn't like to play with swords and guns. Her beautiful sister who used to play games with her every day was kicked out by her cousin. She was so angry that she locked herself in her room all day long. Coming out - this made my aunt and uncle smile from ear to ear with joy. Finally, this girl would no longer run around outside in a hurry every day.
Yu Ruyi held up the tea cup with both hands, her eyes as charming as silk. She took a sip of tea and chuckled: "Then am I a disciple now?"
After getting along with He Nan for such a long time, Yu Ruyi discovered that He Nan was good at everything, especially his mouth and brain. What he said was what he was thinking in his mind. No wonder Li Yu Shi wants to follow him himself.
Yu Ruyi is already very smart, but her personality is too cold and not good at words. She didn't expect that she would take the initiative to joke with others now. I have to say that He Nan is really a very contagious and strange man - of course, her essence She was still a reserved little girl, and the target of this joke was limited to only a few people.
"Departure? It's still early." He Nan replied with a smile, "Tomorrow I will go visit the county magistrate. If it succeeds, I will proceed as planned. If not... then let the county magistrate take it. Let your career be buried with those two."
Time went back to the night when Hong Jiao was interrogated. He Nan kept his word. After Hong Jiao confessed everything, he let him leave unharmed. But when Ye Henan and others sent him out, they met Di Shiyuan, who had brought someone to check the situation and had been waiting for a long time.
Di Shiyuan was followed not only by unattractive street gangsters, but also by many government officials armed with knives and sticks.
"A bold and crazy man actually detained and murdered an official of the imperial court, and he didn't just surrender and kowtow to confess his crime?" Di Shiyuan was very official, and he struck preemptively when he came up.
"Plead guilty? What crime do you admit to?" He Nan sneered, "Who arrested the official for murdering him? Did you see it with your naked eyes?"
"Crazy guy! Do you only use your words?" Di Shiyuan shouted sternly: "These people I brought here can all testify that it was you who tied Detective Hong into the courtyard gate!"
This remark... struck a chord with his congratulations. He sneered twice and shouted: "Captain Hong was clearly invited by us and came in on his own. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Capt. Hong?"
He Nan's words are deliberately stoking Di Shiyuan's anger and forcing him to lose his mind. In his words, he also promoted Hong Jiao's official position by one level - the meaning is obvious, implying that the other party Hong Jiao has reached cooperation with us. Well, you, the head catcher, will soon be replaced by someone else.
Although Di Shiyuan would not fall into the trap, his eyes still glanced at Hong Jiao's face, hoping that the other party would give him an explanation.
Hong Jiao was also in trouble at this time. Wei Kui was standing behind him. If he acknowledged He Nan, then his future life would probably be unstable. But if he didn't admit it, he might even lose his life in the next second. Lost it - he wished he had not come to offend the He family mansion tonight, but in the dilemma before him, Hong Jiao still chose to live for a while: "Return to Mr. Di... The younger one is indeed voluntary. It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
After hearing Hong Jiao's words, the expression on Di Shiyuan's face became wonderful. His face turned red and white, and the look he looked at him became fierce.
Just when Di Shiyuan was about to draw the knife, a little ruffian came up to him and whispered a few words. Di Shiyuan's eyes glanced at Wei Kui and Yan Chunlai, and he lowered his posture with his hands: " Hum...let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, we'll see." After saying that, he waved his hand and led the team away.
He Nan would not let go of such a good opportunity to "beat up the drowned dog". He had to make the other party feel disgusted: "Captain Di, there is a saying that mountains can't change and rivers can't change. Maybe you will find out if your official uniform is better." If you are stripped off, won't we look down on you?"
Di Shiyuan paused, but ignored He Nan. However, under the shadow of He Nan's invisible sight, his expression became a little gloomier.
After the gang of thugs left, He Nan patted Hong Jiao's arm and said, "Originally, I wanted to use you as a pawn, but now it seems there is no need."
Hong Jiao said solemnly: "You can't kill the donkey to take advantage of the situation." He also knew that he was not pleasing both sides, so he could only desperately beg for mercy.
He Nan snorted lightly and said, "Don't worry... As long as you do things for me honestly, I guarantee that your life will not be in danger. Even if you replace Di Shiyuan's position, it will be just around the corner."
He Nan is a person who keeps his promises. He promised Hong Jiao that as long as he told him everything he knew, he would let him leave safely. This move also had a beauty, that is, Hong Jiao could no longer gain Di Shiyuan's trust.
In fact, even if Hong Jiao didn't say a word, He Nan was not prepared to use any severe punishment on Hong Jiao. And once Di Shiyuan sees the unharmed Hong Jiao, he will definitely have doubts in his heart - Did this kid betray me to be safe and sound?
Even if Di Shiyuan saw through He Nan's alienation plan and still trusted Hong Jiao and had no doubts about his employment, he would not be able to escape He Nan's "anti-interference plan" in the next step, that is, during the interrogation process of He Nan Some of the information "accidentally" revealed, whether Hong Jiao conveyed it to Di Shiyuan intentionally or unintentionally, he would definitely learn some of the things he told Hong Jiao.
Thirdly, even if Di Shiyuan was really smart and could even see through He Nan's counter-intentional schemes, He Nan still had a back-up plan - this was what Yu Ruyi did today.
It's a pity that Di Shiyuan came to the door in person on the night of the incident. Hong Jiao's ambiguous attitude made Di Shiyuan a blessing in disguise and jumped out of the second-level counterinsurgency plan. Fortunately, He Nan's third-level plan could still work. Not to mention that even Yu Ruyi didn't know how much preparation He Nan had after the third level.
No matter whether Di Shiyuan is on the first or fifth floor, underground or above ground, he cannot escape from He Nan's tricks, because He Nan has laid foreshadowings on every floor.
How to convince County Magistrate Li is the most important step. It can be said that as long as this step is successful, it doesn't matter even if all the previous strategies fail; on the contrary, if Magistrate Li is monolithic, then it will be a big trouble - as long as Magistrate Li and He Nan reached an agreement, so Di Shiyuan and Song Wuyan were already on the chopping block.
I hope there won't be any other trouble... He Nan closed the tea cup and looked at the candlelight flickering on the table, his mind already flying to the sky.
