Chapter 14 Making Money

Xu Xian returned home.

In the front yard, there are ping-pong, swords and sabers.

Brother-in-law Li Gongfu held a waist knife and Su Xiaoyu held a green sword in his hand. The two of them lived back and forth.

Xu Xian stopped and took a few glances, and delivered the tofu to the kitchen.

Sister Xu Jiaorong is busy cooking.

Xu Xian couldn't help but whisper: "Sister, that girl is here to have a meal again?"

Xu Jiaorong glared at him vigorously and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense! The little fish brought fish and meat to us for food."

Xu Xian then discovered that there were a lot of dishes on the chopping board.

Xu Jiaorong opened the tofu in the lotus leaves, frowned, and blamed: "It was given by the Ashan family again? Chinese, it's not easy for them, don't always ask for things."

Xu Xian nodded and said, "I understand."

After saying that, he left the kitchen.

It is best not to refute my sister's words, this is his experience of living since childhood.

At this time, the fight between Li Gongfu and Su Xiaoyu had already stopped.

Both of them looked rosy and gasped.

Li Gongfu put his knife in the sheath and couldn't help but sigh: "Little Fish, you are only sixteen years old this year. You already have this kind of skill. It's true that talent is important. Brother, I have worked hard for so many years and I'm still standing still, alas."

Su Xiaoyu put away his sword and smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't belittle yourself. Your sword is much faster than mine. You are just giving in to me."

Li Gongfu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and did not be humble to her anymore. He looked at Xu Xian and said, "Hanwen, look at Xiaoyu, when you asked you to learn martial arts, you were afraid of hardship and fatigue, do you regret it now?"

Xu Xian smiled and said, "I'm not a good resource for martial arts."

Su Xiaoyu glanced at him and laughed: "He, forget it. When he checked qi and blood in the junior school, he was the lowest one. Even if he wanted to learn martial arts, the school would not accept him."

Xu Xian smiled and said nothing.

Some of the things that happened at that time have been forgotten.

When Li Gongfu was afraid of hitting him, he came over and patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay. Although Xiuwen is slower than the ability to learn martial arts, as long as you work hard and be admitted to the advanced college in Yujing, you may not be worse than those who learn martial arts at that time."

Xiuwu has been effective since intermediate schools, but if you want to practice literature, most of them must enter advanced academy before you can start to appreciate the literary spirit, practice literature, and use literature to defend the enemy.

Once you understand the literary spirit and open up the literary sea, you can use your words to kill demons, which is much more powerful than those who practice martial arts.

"It's hard to get admitted to the advanced college in Yujing."

Su Xiaoyu also came over and patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and said, "Xu Hanwen, do you have that confidence?"

Xu Xian dusted the place she photographed and looked at her and said, "If you can take the exam, I can naturally take the exam too."

"Ambition!"

Su Xiaoyu praised, then took the opportunity to quickly pat his shoulder, back and arm, then jumped away, and said unhappily: "Do you think my hands are dirty? I'm going to pat you!"

Xu Xian rolled his eyes and said, "If you have sweat on your hands, wash your hands."

Su Xiaoyu put down his sword and took the opportunity to sneak attack him a few more times. Fang Da laughed and went to the kitchen, washed his hands, and helped him serve the dishes.

At the dining table, the bridal chamber case was filed again.

Su Xiaoyu said: "I went outside the city today to inquire. Before they got married, the bride had met the groom, and I heard that the bride was very satisfied. Both parents and brothers were also very satisfied with the marriage. The bride's parents, as well as relatives and neighbors, all said that the bride was a very kind girl and did not object or resent about the marriage. So, there must be problems in this case."

Li Gongfu did not dare to express his opinion without authorization and said, "Xiaoyu, have you told the county magistrate?"

Su Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Of course I said it, but my dad told me that the bride is the most suspicious. That night, someone guarded the door and did not see anyone else going in. There were only two brides and grooms in the bridal chamber. Not long after the groom entered, he screamed and this happened."

Li Gongfu picked up a piece of tofu and said, "Since that's the case, there is no problem with this case. Who else can the suspect besides the bride? Could it be the groom himself?"

Su Xiaoyu frowned and said, "I can't figure it out, but I just feel that the bride will not do that."

As he said that, he looked at Xu Xian who was burying his head to eat and said, "Xu Hanwen, what do you think?"

Li Gongfu chewed the tofu and said with a smile: "What do Chinese people know? He only reads the books of sages. If you ask him, it's better to ask your sister-in-law."

Xu Jiaorong, who was beside him, glared at him.

Li Gongfu picked up the rice bowl and whipped it out again.

"Xu Hanwen, what am I going to ask you?"

Su Xiaoyu's eyes were still staring at Xu Xian.

Xu Xian then raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "There are only two people in the room, right?"

Su Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes."

Xu Xian knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and looked at her and said, "Since you think the murderer is not the bride, you must be the groom, right?"

Su Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Xu Xian nodded and said, "It's true nonsense, then, this matter is a bit weird. There is no one else in the room, and the murderer is not the groom or the bride. Who will it be?"

Su Xiaoyu stared at his eyes, and suddenly his heart moved, and his face changed slightly.

Li Gongfu couldn't help but say, "Hanwen, what exactly do you want to say?"

Xu Xian put down his chopsticks and looked at him seriously and said, "Brother-in-law, what I want to say is, why do you think the murderer is a human?"

Li Gongfu still didn't react and said, "What is it not a human? Is it possible or an animal?"

After saying that, he saw that Su Xiaoyu's face was wrong, and suddenly felt shocked and thought of something.

"Evil...Evil Demon?"

His voice trembled a little.

If it is really a cause of evil devils, then this case will be complicated and you must apply to the Demon-Slaying Department.

Every city has people from the Demon-Slaying Division stationed.

Qiantang County is no exception.

In Qiantang County, the county magistrate is not the biggest, there are several powerful figures and departments on it.

“There is this possibility.”

Su Xiaoyu's face changed for a while and nodded.

After saying that, she suddenly stood up and said, "I have to go back. I must remind my father about this and ask him to find the demon-killer to check it out. Although the fatal wound on the groom's body is different from the injuries caused by evil demons in the past, there is also this possibility."

Li Gongfu nodded and said, "If this case is really caused by evil devils, the demon-killer can tell by just checking the body of the groom and the bride. But Xiaoyu, don't be so anxious, leave after dinner."

Su Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "I won't eat it anymore. Brother and sister-in-law, you guys eat it, I'll go back first."

After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Xu Xian and said, "Didn't you send me off?"

Xu Jiaorong quickly glared at his younger brother and said, "Hanwen, why don't you go quickly!"

Xu Xian had no choice but to get up and send her out of the door.

When he walked outside the gate, Su Xiaoyu suddenly looked at him and said, "When did you think that the murderer might not be human?"

Xu Xian said: "Just now."

"lie!"

Su Xiaoyu stared at him with a torch and said, "Xu Hanwen, did you pretend to be a good person before, or did you suddenly become enlightened now?"

Xu Xian shrugged and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and go in.

Su Xiaoyu looked at his back and suddenly said, "Did you want money?"

Xu Xian suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at her and said, "Give it to me?"

Su Xiaoyu Zhanyan smiled and said, "Of course. I can help me solve the case, I can give it to you."

Xu Xian stared at her for a few seconds and said, "How many?"

Su Xiaoyu stretched out five fingers and said, "At least five taels. If you can get key evidence or think of a key method to solve the case, you can add another five taels. This money is not given to me, but it is rewarded by the government."

Xu Xian suddenly smiled and said, "The eldest lady suddenly trusts nerds so much, and nerds feel flattered."

Su Xiaoyu smiled and looked at him seriously and said, "Xu Hanwen, don't talk nonsense. If you can help me solve the case this time, I will not call you a fool in the future."

"What did you call me? Chinese? Or fairy brother?"

"fraud."

After Su Xiaoyu finished speaking, she waved her hand and left.

Xu Xian stood at the door for a while before entering the house.

Is it ten taels of silver?

For him, this is a huge sum of money.

"Okay, from today on, I, Mr. Xu, will start to be a self-reliant man! Madam, Qingmei, have you all feel the determination of the man?"
