Chapter 62 Who is willing to go to the county government with me?
As soon as Su Xian finished speaking, the neighbors who were watching looked at each other and took a step back at the same time, showing with practical actions that they did not want to help Su Xian serve as witnesses.
Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth. These people are so realistic.
He was just about to persuade them with reason and emotion, when Shopkeeper Luo, holding a folding fan, stepped out from the crowd and said loudly: "The murder case on the city wall is very important to the Ming government. If you can't solve this case, you will at least lose your job."
"Please think about this, everyone. Since the Ming governor took office half a year ago, he has implemented many good policies. It can be said that people leave their doors unlocked at night and do not steal lost items on the road!"
"Now, nephew Su Xian has clues to solve the city wall murder case and needs witnesses. I will be the first to join!"
Shopkeeper Luo folded his folding fan, took a firm step, and stood beside Su Xian.
The neighbors were stunned for a moment, and someone echoed:
"Manager Luo is right. We have all seen the Ming Mansion's governance over the past six months. If this move can help the Ming Mansion, I will do my best to help!"
After saying this, this person also stood beside Su Xian.
With the demonstration of these two people, in a moment, all the men, women, young and old on the street expressed their support for Su Xian and Ming Fu!
It seems that the uncle is very popular among the people... Su Xian smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "Thank you, everyone, thank you neighbors!"
"Thank you, this is what we should do..."
“…”
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. After a while, a long wooden ladder was carried out from a carpenter's house on the street and placed on the eaves of the two-story wooden building of Su Xian's house.
Su Xian climbed up using his hands and feet, while Shopkeeper Luo and other neighbors were holding the ladder below.
"Be careful, nerd! Don't fall!"
"Why don't I do it? Look at this nerd, he's so skinny, I'm afraid a gust of wind will blow him away."
"Hahaha……"
"It's not appropriate. This matter involves clues to the murder case on the city wall and a huge reward. Let the nerd go."
"Yes, ever since the nerd's parents died one after another, his life has been very difficult. If he can get this thousand taels, it is also his good fortune !"
“…”
Su Xian climbed onto the roof tremblingly and turned his head to look down.
He saw a large group of people walking on the street, all facing him.
Most people looked concerned.
Although they called me a "nerd", the simple and honest atmosphere of the neighborhood was also very strong... Su Xian waved his hand downwards, then slowly walked to the side along the eaves and began to search for "something that fell from the city wall."
Because of the perspective, the neighbors could no longer see Su Xian.
"Hey, what do you think that could be?" the neighbors started chatting.
"Who knows? I hope we can solve the city wall murder case."
“…”
After chatting for a long time, Shopkeeper Luo looked up at the eaves of the second floor and asked suspiciously, "Why hasn't Nephew Su appeared yet? Hasn't he been found in such a long time?"
This sentence caught everyone's attention.
"Yeah, it should be easy to just go up to the roof and pick up something."
"Would a nerd..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Let's shout, Nerd! Nerd! Nerd!"
"bookworm!"
"bookworm!"
“…”
At the same time, the tightly closed shop door of Liu Huixiang's house next door suddenly opened, and Zhang Cuihua walked out and asked why so many people gathered here?
After someone explained the situation to Zhang Cuihua, she hurried back to the house and told the situation to Liu Huixiang, who was hiding behind the kitchen door and watching quietly.
"Master Su... climbed onto the roof?"
Liu Huixiang was startled, and her fair, tender and delicate face was filled with worry. She quickly told Zhang Cuihua to go out and check again.
After Zhang Cuihua left, Liu Huixiang pursed her lips and said with a hint of anger: "Young Master just likes to climb everywhere. Climbing the wall is not enough, now he's climbing the roof. He doesn't know how to take care of himself at all..."
On the street.
The shouts of "nerd" continued for a while until Su Xian popped his head out from the eaves.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
"What is that?"
"Can you solve the Wall Murder Case?"
“…”
The neighbors asked after they breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Xian looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I'm ashamed. I looked around the roof and couldn't find it!"
He felt ashamed and very confused.
He remembered that before he left, he saw Yang Zhilan climb up to the roof with her skill of flying over eaves and walls, put the jade token away, and then returned to the room...
But why can’t I find it?
How strange!
"did not find?"
The neighbors were stunned for a moment, and then Shopkeeper Luo suggested: "Nephew Su, you sometimes can't tell left from right. Are you looking in the wrong direction? Nephew Su, try looking over there."
After hearing this, Su Xian raised his head and looked at the rooftops. This side was the roof of Liu Huixiang's house, and that side was the roof of an empty house...
Oh shit!
Su Xian was stunned. He really had got the wrong direction.
After thanking Shopkeeper Luo, Su Xian walked to the other side of the roof and after a careful search, he saw an exquisite white jade plaque lying there quietly.
Sure enough, it was here... Su Xian picked it up, returned to the long ladder, and turned the jade plate over and over in front of all the neighbors.
"Nephew Su, how is it? Can you solve the city wall murder case?" asked Shopkeeper Luo.
Su Xian looked at it for a while, then said solemnly, word by word: "I think, with this item, we can solve the murder case on the city wall and help the Ming government overcome the crisis!"
"Really? That's a good feeling..."
Su Xian walked down the wooden ladder, and after his feet landed on the ground, he handed the jade token to the long-awaited shopkeeper Luo, and asked him to take a look first.
At this time, someone asked, "Nerd, what is that?"
Su Xian said solemnly: "That should be the identity badge of the internal guard!"
"Internal Security!!?" The neighbors were stunned, dumbfounded and terrified, standing still like sculptures.
"Inner Guard?" Shopkeeper Luo took the jade token and took a look at it. He saw the words "Inner Guard" engraved on the jade token.
Snapped!
The jade token slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.
The word "Inner Guard" seemed to give the jade token a temperature of several hundred degrees, and Shopkeeper Luo could not hold it steadily.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at the jade plate lying quietly on the bluestone slab on the street.
No one spoke.
Shopkeeper Luo was so horrified that his folding fan slipped out of his hand and he fell backwards. If the people behind him had not supported him, he would have been embraced by Mother Earth.
Su Xian bent down to pick up the jade token, took a look at it, and said calmly: "Fortunately, it didn't break."
" call!"
Everyone, including Shopkeeper Luo, breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not broken.
The reason why they were so afraid of the Inner Guards, and even feared a piece of jade tablet, was mainly due to the former glory of the Inner Guards and those terrifying legends...
The terror of the inner guards can even stop a child from crying!
Although the Inner Guards are scary, I have killed the leader of the Inner Guards, and I also recruited the Inner Guards' top killer as my female bodyguard... These thoughts emerged in Su Xian's mind.
Then he held the jade token in his hand and looked at everyone and said, "Who is willing to go to the county government with me and meet the governor?"
The neighbors looked at each other and remained silent.
This time, even Shopkeeper Luo did not speak out.
