In the yamen, Qu Nanyi yawned, his face darkened, paced to the front of the hall, stood in front of Su Yueying, and said in a deep voice: "Raise your head." ”

Su Yueying knelt on the ground, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her head, glanced at Qu Nan, and hurriedly lowered her head again.

Qu Nanyi pointed to the doctor waiting on the side and said, "Give her a wound." ”

The doctor stepped forward, and Su Yueying took off the handkerchief. Because the veil adhered to the wound, she trembled in pain, but she endured it and did not cry, for fear that the tears would flow to the wound and hurt even more.

Su Yueying was originally a beautiful woman, but after being cleaned by the doctor, she revealed an inch-long wound on each side of her mouth, which was very terrifying and shocking.

Qu Nan didn't ask, just stood aside and watched.

The doctor gave Su Yueying good medicine, and wrapped his head into a big dumpling, and then instructed: "Don't get wet, don't talk, you can only drink some liquid food, and when the meat grows, I'm afraid it will leave a scar." ”

Su Yueying's tears were in her eyes and she nodded.

The doctor got up and said goodbye and left.

Qu Nan turned around and looked for a place, sat down, and asked, "Su Yueying, can you read?" ”

Su Yueying nodded.

Qu Nanyi asked someone to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and instructed: "When the official asks, you answer with a pen." ”

Su Yueying nodded again.

Qu Nan looked at the Li Da Cake family who was kneeling on the ground, and finally fixed his eyes on the old woman, and said, "This lady, you will tell the story again." ”

The old woman knew that the county magistrate was going to ask questions, and she had already gone through the matter in her heart several times, and although she was a little nervous in her heart, she finally said it clearly and very clearly. After coughing twice, she replied tremblingly: "The old woman slept until midnight, and when she heard a movement in the yard, she got up and cried out for a big cake, a big cake, a big cake...... Oh, the flatbread is the son of an old woman, and his name is Lee. When the bread didn't answer, the old woman called out to her daughter-in-law again. Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... Daughter-in-law, neither should you. The old woman thought to herself, these two had never slept so deeply, and she was afraid that something had happened! So the old woman ran into her son's house, and found them sleeping soundly, but the baby was gone. The old woman was so anxious that she slapped them twice one by one, and then woke them up. The old woman was afraid that the thief would take the baby away, so she took the wooden bolt and chased it out. It just so happened that I saw the thief standing on the wall, although I didn't really see it, but I also knew that the thief was holding my baby in his arms, and he didn't know what to put in his mouth to eat. The old woman shouted, and the thief shook his hand and threw the baby out. The old woman was so frightened that her heart trembled, and it was not easy for her to catch the baby. Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......"

The old woman gasped for breath a few times, and then continued: "The baby has been unconscious, and I just asked the doctor to take a look, saying that it was under the fire*, and it will be a few hours before she will wake up." After that, he kowtowed and said, "Ask Lord Qingtian to be the master, catch that thief, and beat him hard!" ”

Qu Nanyi asked again, "Can you see the thief's face clearly?" ”

The old woman replied, "My lord, the old woman's eyes are half-blind, let alone dark, even in the daytime, she can't see clearly." However, the old woman thought it was a woman. ”

Qu Nanyi motioned for the old woman to get up and retreat, and briefly asked Li Dapan and his wife, and after confirming that they didn't know anything, he ordered the whole family to go back.

Qu Nanyi frowned, darkened his face, yawned, looked at Su Yueying again, and asked, "Why did you go out at night?" Didn't know if there was a curfew in the county? ”

Su Yueying took the pen, lay on the ground, and wrote on the bamboo slip: Back to the adult, the little woman's father always can't sleep at night, the little woman is worried, and finally finds a remedy. The recipe said that as long as you get a pinch of dust at the entrance of the yamen during the third watch, strengthen your father's courage, and let those charms and spirits and other things dare not come to Fan, you can help him sleep peacefully. This soil needs to be extracted by a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, with a pious heart, not in the hands of others, and must be tempered with dew. Although Yueying knows the curfew in the county, it is really a gift for a child to be a parent, so how dare she ignore her father's body for the sake of her own safety? Yueying only wishes that Daddy can sleep peacefully, although it is hard, it is insignificant. ”

After Su Yueying finished writing a tirade, she lifted the bamboo slip and showed it to Qu Nan. This is not good, but I found that Qu Nanyi was dozing! No, no, it's not bad, it's too good. What truth can be found out by being such a dumb official? The more incompetent he is, the more convenient it is for him to act on his own. Although some big families in the county are saying that the new county commander Qu Nanyi is a smiling tiger, in her opinion, he is just an empty shelf. Look, this trial case can be asleep, it's really a wreck!

Su Yueying despised Qu Nanyi in her heart, but her face became more and more humble. When she saw that Qu Nanyi was taking a nap, she didn't make any noise, but obediently put down the bamboo slips and knelt beside honestly.

After about a cup of tea, Qu Nan sighed, opened his eyes, tilted his head, looked at Su Yueying, and sneered: "Oh, Miss Su, why are you still kneeling?" Hurry up and talk back. Recently, the official has been in charge of everything, and he often feels tired, which makes Miss Su smile. Come on, come on, please get up. This official can't let others mistakenly think that this official is a rough horseman, and he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Qu Nanyi's smiling face is too bright, and the black-faced county order just now is like two people.

Su Yueying's heart slipped up unconsciously, thinking that everyone called him a smiling tiger, I was afraid that it was a little original. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look down at the words she had written, for fear that something would be wrong. Thankfully, nothing went wrong. She grabbed the bamboo slip again and showed it to Qu Nan.

As soon as Qu Nan took the bamboo, Su Yueying got up from the ground, and the action was like a weak willow supporting the wind, which was very good-looking.

Qu Nanyi looked at the words on the bamboo board, casually lit the stool in the air, and motioned for Su Yueying to sit down. This sluggish attitude is similar to the enthusiasm just now.

Su Yueying was a little uneasy in her heart, and she was more and more unsure of Qu Nanyi's way of doing things.

Qu Nanyi held the bamboo slip and looked at it for a long time, then nodded, handed it back, and said casually: "Sure enough, it's a filial daughter." I just don't know, where did you get this remedy? ”

Su Yueying took the bamboo slip and wrote: On the street, I saw a taxi and promised three taels of silver, and I got this home remedy.

Qu Nanyi asked again: "How did you meet that female thief?" ”

Su Yueying wrote: The little woman doesn't know.

Qu Nanyi simply stood up, walked to Su Yueying's side, and asked while watching her write, "What do you not know?" ”

Su Yueying heard Qu Nanyi's question, hurriedly raised her head, her eyes were full of horror, she glanced at Qu Nanyi hurriedly, she hurriedly lowered her head, picked up the pen, and continued to write: The little woman only knew that she was walking towards the yamen, but somehow she met the female thief. When the little woman came back to her senses, she saw the officials standing in front of the little woman with lanterns. The little woman was so frightened that she shouted for help, only to realize that her face hurt badly, and she was actually broken by the female thief.

Su Yueying wrote the last few words, her hands were already shaking very much, as if her heart was in pain, and her fear was abnormal.

Su Yueying covered her eyes with a handkerchief, like a bird with a cut throat, screaming in the cold wind, but she couldn't make a sound.

Others were saddened to see it.

It is really distressing that such a filial daughter suffered such a catastrophe.

Qu Nanyi asked, "You said you didn't know how to meet that female thief?" What do you mean by that? ”

Su Yueying sniffed, trembled her shoulders, and continued to write: The little woman can't remember. I only remember that I quietly walked out of the house, and then met the officials. I don't remember anything else.

There are some things that Su Yueying can't say or say. Meeting the Green Waist is fatal to her. However, if she confesses to the green waist, she will face the danger of confronting the green waist. Even if Qu Nanyi is really an embroidered pillow and a big straw bag, he will suspect her. Besides, she didn't know who the green waist was, so she made a rash move, for fear that she would be hit by seven inches. Therefore, she lied that she didn't remember, which made the case even more confusing.

Qu Nanyi was thoughtful and silent.

At this time, Master Su Su was accompanied by the housekeeper and ran into the yamen out of breath.

Master Su is a local noble family, and he is rich, he holds his own value, and he does not kneel when he sees the official, but just a courtesy.

Master Su is extremely thin, which can be described as skinny, and the delicately made dark red gilt edge robe is worn on his body, which is empty and has no sense of beauty, but has a little more meanness.

He went straight to Su Yueying, held her shoulder, and said with a shocked expression: "My son, you ...... You...... You're ......."

Su Yueying handed the reply written to Qu Nanyi to Master Su, which was regarded as a reply to his question.

After reading those words, Master Su shouted angrily: "Dare someone to act like this, it is simply lawless!" Turning his head, he looked at Lord Qu and hugged his fists, "Lord Qu, presumably my lord will definitely give my Su family an explanation!" We must not let that thief get away with it and treat the county government of my Liuhe County as nothing! ”

Qu Nanyi narrowed his narrow eyes, looked at Master Su's eyes, and did not answer Master Su's words, but said with a smile: "I heard that Master Su has difficulty sleeping at night, but when I look at Master Su's face, I am in good spirits and full of red light, and I obviously sleep extremely sweetly." ”

Master Su was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, and said with a smug smile: "Don't worry about it." Su has never been able to sleep at night, and can only take occasional naps during the day. In recent years, my health has become worse and worse, and my mental head is not as good as before. Fortunately, the little girl Yueying is delicate, takes care of everything everywhere, and is filial and sincere. The little girl inquired about home remedies for Su everywhere, and finally found a useful way to let Su sleep peacefully. Just rush to her filial piety, but it can move the heavens! Even if Su can't sleep at night, his mind is at peace. ”

Qu Nan nodded and agreed: "That's the truth." ”
