I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Of course, no matter how you calculate it, the final profit is equally impressive.

According to the results agreed upon by everyone, Gu Ming is the biggest beneficiary and will receive [-]% of the profits.

Nie Xiaoqian [-]% and Su Ling [-]%.

Although Zeng Dehao contributed the most, he was a latecomer, and Su Ling also realized that he was not greedy for more.

To put it bluntly, she is here to play tickets and solicit friendship, and it is enough to divide them into meanings.

The remaining [-]% of the profits are used as dividends for others or some miscellaneous expenses.

All in all happy.

Seeing that everything is ready, the study will officially open in two days.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, a big event suddenly happened

Several government officials caught a private salt dealer and found more than 1000 catties of private salt in his home.

This is a big crime.

After Qin Shou's personal interrogation, this person finally confessed that he was ordered by the county magistrate to smuggle salt, and that he had a secret letter from the county magistrate at home.

Qin Shou immediately ordered someone to fetch the secret letter, and sent someone to call Nie Hongshu.

The private salt dealer testified on the spot, insisting that he was just running errands.

Nie Hongshu almost vomited blood.

He didn't even know the name of the private salt dealer, so where did he get the idea?

Unfortunately, this itself is a trap.

He didn't know the other party, but the other party knew everything. Not only was there a secret letter to prove it, but he also described the environment of his home.

There is indeed a secret letter, the content is not much, but it is enough to testify against Nie Hongshu.

Importantly, the handwriting almost matches

This made Nie Hongshu a little confused.

He knew very well that this was a conspiracy, and the other party obviously found a master to imitate his handwriting.

With the so-called personal and physical evidence, Qin Shoudang ordered Nie Hongshu to be taken into custody first, saying that he was waiting for officials from the government office to come and deal with it.

After hearing the news, Nie Xiaoqian was struck by lightning and almost fainted.

"Yu'er, hurry up, follow me to the prison."

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the South Prison, the guards would not let her see her.

It is said that although Mr. Nie is in prison, he is locked in a single cell, where he eats and drinks well.

Anyway, Nie Hongshu is the magistrate after all, and Qin Shou, as the county magistrate, is not qualified to convict him, so he can only be temporarily detained, which is equivalent to house arrest.

As for the result, we have to wait for the people above to decide.

Chapter 39 Can't escape being shot?

Not being able to see her father's face, Nie Xiaoqian was so angry that her heart ached and she had no idea at all.

Yu'er cried and helped the young lady back home to rest.

Then he went to find Liu Ma, the kitchen helper, and asked her to take care of the young lady, while he rushed to find Gu Ming.

"Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu"

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Ming didn't know it at all, he was helping Zhang Luo in the shop, and he was surprised when he saw Yu'er's eyes were red and swollen.

"Master, he misses her"

Yu'er didn't know where to start for a while, sobbing and crying.

Gu Ming's heart sank, he hurriedly pulled her up and walked to the county government office.

After walking a few steps, Yu'er just sobbed and said: "Master has been detained, Miss is so angry that she is bedridden."

"What?" Gu Ming was taken aback, and said anxiously: "Yu'er, you go home alone, I'll go and have a look first."

After speaking, a gust of wind rushed towards the county government office.

"Little Qian"

"Young Master Gu, Miss is in the room."

Liu Ma heard the voice and hurried out.

Gu Ming walked in hastily, seeing Nie Xiaoqian's delicate appearance with rain on her face, she couldn't help but sat down on the side of the bed and comforted her softly.

"boy"

Nie Xiaoqian was so sad that she couldn't help but threw herself into Gu Ming's arms and sobbed.

"cough"

Seeing this, Mama Liu coughed lightly and tiptoed out.

"Xiaoqian, what's going on?"

"It's Qin Shou, that dog official. He found someone to frame Daddy, saying that Daddy ordered people to sell illegal salt."

"How dare he be so bold?"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't believe it.

After all, Nie Hongshu is a majestic Bapin county magistrate, who gave that dog official the guts?

"It happened for a reason"

Nie Xiaoqian sobbed and told the reason before.

At this moment, Gu Ming finally understood that Shen Xiuyuan must have filed a criminal complaint after returning, and his father who was a salt transport envoy colluded with Qin Shou to set up such a trick.

It's just so insane.

If this is the case for an imperial court official, what about the common people?

Could it be that their father and daughter could not escape their fate after all?

When meeting Nie Xiaoqian for the first time, Gu Ming speculated about Nie Xiaoqian's "cause of death". Now it seems that this catastrophe seems to be destined.

Selling private salt is a felony. If it is serious and convicted, not only Nie Hongshu himself will be in danger, but Nie Xiaoqian may also be implicated.

Either beheaded, or distributed, and may even be sent to the priest's workshop.

To put it simply, Jiaosifang is actually a brothel established by the imperial court.

It's just that its nature is a bit special, the women in the workshop are all the relatives of criminal officials.

Most of these female relatives have read poetry and books, and are even good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After entering the workshop, they have been carefully trained.

Du Shiniang is a singer who belongs to Jiaosifang.

Under normal circumstances, the singers or dancers of Jiaosifang are all performers but not their bodies.

But, if you really want to meet some powerful people, how can you escape that test?

Because of this, many female relatives would rather commit suicide than suffer such humiliation.

"Xiaoqian, cheer up, there will be a way"

In this matter, Gu Ming had to find a way to help tide over the difficulty no matter what.

Today is not what it used to be, and he is not the cowardly Gu Xiucai he used to be.

Moreover, although he and Nie Xiaoqian were not engaged, they were only short of a ceremony and a marriage letter.

"Miss Nie, Miss Nie"

In the courtyard, Mrs. Su's urgent voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Ming's eyes lit up, and he walked out immediately.

Looking up, it turned out that the couple had come.

"Mr. Gu, are you here? We just heard about this, so we hurried over here."

"Thank you two!"

Gu Ming bowed his hands sincerely to express his thanks.

As the saying goes, a friend in adversity sees the truth.Under such circumstances, the couple not only did not avoid it, but even came to visit them at the first time, which is indeed commendable.

"Aren't you out of sight? Don't worry, my young master has already sent someone back to inform the old man. This matter must not be left to that dog official!"

Zeng Dehao looked arrogant, and deliberately raised his voice, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

"Yes, Mr. Nie cannot be imprisoned unjustly!"

Su Ling also echoed.

At this time, Yuer also came back.

As soon as he saw a guest, he stepped forward to greet him, and then ran to make tea.

Nie Xiaoqian also forced herself to get out of bed and came to the living room.

Su Ling sat next to her and comforted her softly: "Miss Nie, you don't have to be sad, I believe Mr. Nie has his own destiny."

"Yes!" Zeng Dehao also said angrily: "If you want me to say, just use this opportunity to overthrow that dog official!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming frowned: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy, the reason why Qin Shou acted so boldly must have been prepared.

As I guessed correctly, most of the officials who came to investigate this time were the Salt Transport Envoys. "

Zeng Dehao couldn't help sighing: "If it's really the one with the surname Shen, it's really a little troublesome."

After all, the official rank of the salt transport seems not high, but it has real power.

If the other party dares to do this, they must be prepared.

"What's the trouble?" Su Ling was a little dissatisfied: "I still don't believe that there is no law in the world. Besides, your old man is not a vegetarian."

At this time, Gu Ming seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but said: "I think the key point is that private salt dealer. As long as we find out his details, maybe we can clear Master Nie's innocence."

"Yes, yes, madam, why don't you go back to your residence and send someone to investigate right away."

"it is good!"

It was rare for Su Ling to be so obedient, and immediately got up and went back home.

At sunset, Zeng Tiancheng finally arrived.

He was accompanied by four other squires.

After the group sat down, Nie Xiaoqian explained the origin and process of the incident.

After listening to it, Zeng Tiancheng immediately complained: "It's lawless! In this way, the old man will go back to the mansion to prepare, and tomorrow morning, he will go to the county government to make a mess of him!"

"Thank you, Master Zeng!"

Nie Xiaoqian gave a grateful blessing.

After returning, Zeng Tiancheng wrote nearly twenty name stickers in one go, and told Zeng Tianhao to send someone to distribute them quickly.

These more than twenty people are all well-known country gentry, more than ten live in Guobei County, and the rest are also in the suburbs of the county.

That night, doomed to sleepless.

Gu Ming didn't go back to the thatched shed, but stayed with Nie Xiaoqian all the time.

Yu'er also stood aside, squinting for a while from time to time.

"Mr. Gu, I really want to thank you this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Nie Xiaoqian snuggled into Gu Ming's arms, feeling somewhat safe in her heart.

"It's okay, with the help of the old man of the Zeng family, I believe that Qin will not dare to mess around."

"But over there in the study, will it delay your important business?"

"Don't worry about the study, even if I'm not here, wouldn't there be He Yongliang and Dong Sheng to help take care of it?"

It was not easy to survive until dawn.
