The Eldest Sister Has Space

Chapter 30 Help

Nie Cong's scalp was numb from her eyes, and he always felt like he was being watched.

Sure enough, Gu Yundong stood still and asked him, "Are you very eager to catch the prisoner who led the chaos in Anqing Mansion?"

"Of course." Nie Cong nodded affirmatively, with a serious expression, "This person is not a refugee at all, he is a bandit pretending to be a refugee, deliberately inciting the people to break into the city gate, taking the opportunity to kill people to make money, and it is a heinous crime. It also harmed the nearby villages, and it is very likely that they will come to our Xuanhe House. If this person is not caught as soon as possible, I am afraid that more people will suffer."

Gu Yundong is not a chivalrous person who acts for the heavens, and will not have the same strong desire as Nie Cong to kill evil in his name. At present, she can only take care of her own small family, and she just wants to make some money for her use.

So she said calmly, "If I help you a little in catching the criminals, will I get paid?"

Nie Cong was taken aback, "Help? What can you help?" 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

"Remuneration?"

"..." Nie Cong's mouth twitched, "Yes."

"How many."

"It depends on how much you can help." Nie Cong was a little suspicious, thinking that she had also escaped from the famine. Could it be that she had seen that person, or knew where that person appeared?

But Gu Yundong quickly rejected his idea, "In your yamen, should someone have seen the prisoner?"

"Yes, I followed Commander Zhao to Qing'an for reinforcements. There was a small group of soldiers who happened to be facing that person, but it was a pity that they escaped."

"Then find a soldier you've seen before and describe the prisoner's appearance, and I'll draw it for you."

Nie Cong suddenly lost interest and thought what was it, so he drew a portrait?

There are a lot of wanted notices posted at the gate of their city. They are all drawn by the best painter in the city based on oral descriptions. Most of them do not need her to paint.

Gu Yundong knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression, she raised her eyebrows, "You feel your conscience and tell me, do you think that with the portraits on your wanted list, even if a real person is standing in front of you, you can be right? Of course, I also know that you don't just rely on portraits to arrest criminals, but you have also seen the situation where the young man was arrested today. There must be more than just shopkeeper Pan who wants to avenge private revenge and report false cases. Do you use the excuse that people are similar to portraits to evade. Is this causing confusion and waste of time and energy for you? Trust me, I can save you half of your time.”

Nie Cong felt that what she said was wrong. Ordinary people were afraid of entering the yamen. After all, there were very few people who were as ignorant as the shopkeeper Pan and thought they had a backer.

But I feel that what she said makes sense. Although it is very rare, it does not matter?

After thinking about it, Nie Cong said conservatively when she saw her full of confidence, "If you want to try it, just try it. But you can't go to the yamen. this thing."

"it is good."

Nie Cong said not to go to his cousin's house, for fear of annoying her, so he simply went to a teahouse not far away.

Gu Yundong was worried about the three Yangs and had to go to see his cousin Nie Cong first.

Therefore, the two of them went back to the small courtyard first and entered the door, just in time to hear their cousin and Mrs. Yang talking, "...you wash with water first, this unkempt man, who didn't know it, thought that there were beggars in our house. Do you have any clean clothes? If not, I will borrow them from the next door, but I have to tell you that it can't be broken, or you will have to pay. Ouch, these two darlings..."
