Chapter 202 Beauty's Schemes (5) - Bribing Graffiti
Ning Shu didn't know what Tuya was thinking, but she remembered that the other person's skill was "Thousand-Mile Hearing," which could be very useful.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard the other person's stomach suddenly growl.
The graffiti artist was somewhat embarrassed; he had only started soliciting business because he was so hungry he couldn't stand it anymore.
Graffiti felt he was incredibly unlucky. Although he was assigned role B, his character was a penniless fortune teller.
So he thought that people who were so poor they could still make a racket were actually quite wealthy, but he never expected to encounter players before even opening for business.
Ning Shu understood: "Are you hungry? Come on, I'll take you to eat."
Tuya felt that Ning Shu's image was incredibly tall at that moment, and he was even moved to tears while eating the steaming hot wontons.
After Ning Shu waited for him to finish eating and drinking, she smiled at him warmly, appearing very approachable.
Tuya thought Ning Shu's behavior was a bit scary. Could it be that he had encountered a shady player?
Just as he was regretting his carelessness, he heard Ning Shu ask, "Graffiti, I remember your skill is 'Thousand-Mile Hearing,' you can hear all the sounds around here, right?"
Did Cheng Chuan tell her this too? She shouldn't be a liar.
Graffiti would only mention his skills to others as a last resort, so he thought Ning Shu should be harmless.
Of course, he ruled out the possibility that the other party could know other people's skills.
If the other party is really that capable, then you can only blame your bad luck.
He boldly admitted that Ning Shu followed his lead and made her request: "I'd like to ask you for a favor."
After listening to Ning Shu's explanation, Tuya said with difficulty, "But I also have to do my mission. What if I can't complete my mission?"
Ning Shu: "What's your mission?"
Graffiti: "I want to advise the player who became the daughter of a high-ranking official to give up the marriage with her fiancé. To this day, I haven't even seen her face."
Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "That's simple. You help me, and I'll help you. Who is your teammate?"
I'll keep an eye out for you. I work at Prince Rui's residence, so I'm connected to the government.
Upon hearing this, Tuya thought Ning Shu was incredibly lucky: "You've even made it into the Prince's mansion? You must be well-off, right?"
Ning Shu understood his meaning and took out a few silver coins from her purse. After thinking about it, she estimated that it wouldn't be enough. She looked at the graffiti and thought that his skill was really useful.
With a determined look, he pulled out the silver note and stuffed it into Tuya's hand: "Take this and use it; consider it payment for hiring you."
When the graffiti was opened, it revealed a silver note worth one hundred taels, and the person's eyes widened in astonishment.
He is now penniless and can't even afford to eat. Last night, in order to avoid the curfew, he sneaked over the wall into an empty courtyard to spend the night.
Now that he has money, he doesn't have to do that anymore.
I was so moved I almost cried, and I felt incredibly ashamed of myself for having doubted the other person just moments before.
Ning Shu's heart was bleeding at this moment; her little bit of money~
However, all of this is necessary; otherwise, why would others willingly do things for you?
After receiving the silver note, Tuya beamed with joy and told Ning Shu about his teammates and his plans.
The graffiti's teammate in the dungeon is the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, named Gao Zhi. Her fiancé was chosen by her father after she passed the imperial examination.
Because her father thought highly of the man, he had been working hard to cultivate his future son-in-law for the past two years, so that his daughter could marry him after she came of age.
Now, Tuya needs to persuade Gao Zhi to give up her husband, and Tuya's method is to use his identity as a fortune teller to try to create an opportunity to tell her fortune.
She tried to convince the other woman that her husband was unlucky for her, thus causing her to abandon the marriage.
After listening to the story, Ning Shu had to admire the graffiti artist's imaginative ideas.
Others solve problems with science, but he uses metaphysics instead, and she has to give him a thumbs up.
"I've noted it down. If we have the chance to meet, I'll give them a hint for you."
Hearing Ning Shu say this, Tuya felt confident that this time it was a sure thing, after all, Ning Shu was from the Prince Rui's mansion, and it would be easier for him, a mere江湖人 (jianghu person), to meet the main person.
Ning Shu had finished eating and listening to his task, so he said, "Let's go, you have to help me with my work now."
She was paid to order people around without any regard for their feelings, and she felt no psychological pressure at all. She squatted near Dali Temple with her graffiti.
"Listen carefully, I'm looking for someone named Cui Zeyu. See if he's in there."
Also, he recently took charge of a case involving a niece who murdered her uncle's family; the prisoner was a girl named Yin Xinyue.
Just listen for any information related to those two people.
The graffiti nodded, activated its skill, and began listening to the sounds coming from inside the Dali Temple.
For him, the information inside was too complicated, and he needed to carefully distinguish it.
He listened for a long time, while Ning Shu waited for him without saying a word, afraid of interrupting him.
The graffiti divided the Dali Temple into several areas. After searching through each area, Cui Zeyu was finally found in a corner.
He heard someone call out to Lord Cui, and they seemed to be discussing the case of the murder of his uncle. He thought it must be this person.
The graffiti felt that the voice called Lord Cui sounded familiar, but it didn't know if it was someone it had seen before.
“Found him. He’s inside discussing the case with other people,” Tuya told Ning Shu.
Ning Shu was happy that the other person was there: "Did they say when they're going home?"
Graffiti: "No, they're having a heated discussion."
Ning Shu: "What exactly are you talking about?"
The graffiti could only give Ning Shu a general account of what she had heard. Ning Shu learned that Cui Zeyu felt there was something wrong with the case and they were discussing various details of it.
Ning Shu also felt there was something wrong. How could a girl who had just gone to live with her uncle poison someone on the very day she arrived? Wasn't that just like trying to hide something obvious?
Even if there was deep-seated hatred that necessitated poisoning that very day, why didn't they run away instead of staying at the scene and getting caught?
If you wanted to die together with someone else, why didn't you poison yourself on the spot instead of waiting until someone caught you and then crying foul?
It's getting stranger and stranger. Unless she was framed, but who would frame a little girl?
Ning Shu felt that she should probably go to Yin Xinyue's uncle's house first. She checked the time and realized it was still early enough for her to make the round trip.
“Graffiti, let’s go, let’s go see the Wu family.”
So the graffiti was dragged away by her again, and when they returned to the vicinity of where they met, the graffiti was somewhat speechless.
Since they were going to come here anyway, why didn't they look around first when they met before leaving?
Ning Shu originally planned to meet up with Cui Zeyu and persuade him to come and watch together, but now that she has the graffiti, she has changed her mind.
Perhaps because some time had passed since the incident, there were no constables guarding the Wu family's residence.
It is estimated that the government officials inspected all the areas that needed to be inspected and left only after confirming that nothing had been missed.
