Song Wuya nodded immediately, but he was very happy in his heart. Judging from the situation, Niu Man should have said something to him.
Seeing Song Wuya nodding, Niu Man finally spoke.
"To tell you the truth, my lord, I didn't dare to open my mouth about this small matter. But now that my lord has asked me about it, and I've assured me that I won't bring it up to my master, I dare to speak up." Niu Man twisted She looked shy, probably still a little worried.
Song Wuya could naturally see the uneasiness in Niu Man's heart. He smiled slightly: "It's okay. The reason why I asked about this matter is to find out the cause of the fire in the warehouse. As for other matters, I don't care. I don’t bother to care about it, presumably Master Niu and this official are the same, what we both want is the result, as for the process, I don’t want to care about it.”
Now, Song Wuya explained what he meant, and once again assured Niu Man in his words.It wasn't until Song Wuya said so that Niu Man nodded and said again.
"That day, the master suddenly rewarded me with some silver taels. I was very happy in my heart, and I often went to the warehouse on weekdays to get acquainted with the guys there, so after I got the reward, I immediately showed it off to them. However, they made a fuss and wanted to let the little one Invite them to drink. The young one is also worried that they will be punished by the master if they leave the warehouse. But they don’t listen to the young one. They insist that no one dares to move the Niu’s warehouse in this city. That’s why we invite some of them to go out to eat and drink After a meal, who knows that a fire broke out on that day."
Unexpectedly, there was such a story in it, Song Wuya nodded slightly after hearing it.
He judged the truth of this matter in his heart. After all, Niu Man's few words were not enough to dispel his doubts about this matter.
"Oh? So, Master Niu has rewarded you with a lot of money. It seems that you are highly valued in the Niu family!" Song Wuya immediately laughed.
When he said this suddenly, Niu Man felt embarrassed, but the nervous expression on Niu Man's face quickly dissipated.
Immediately, Niu Man became modest: "Master Song is really overrated, how can the young one be valued. The master only rewarded some silver that day, not much."
"You're being dishonest! You said that there are twice as many people in this warehouse than here. Five people died in the fire that day, and the others must have been included in your invitation. There are at least twenty people in this warehouse." Right. It’s not a small amount for these people to eat and drink!”
Song Wuya thought this clearly, and immediately grasped this point, kept asking Niu Man, detailing this matter, trying to confirm what Niu Man said. , Is it true or a fabricated story.
After saying this, he kept his eyes fixed on Niu Man's cheek, paying attention to the subtle changes of expression on his face.
But the change of Niu Man's expression was very normal.An embarrassing expression appeared on his face instantly, and he lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"What the adults said is true, the young one didn't dare to talk nonsense. The master has always been generous, and the rewards are also quite a lot. You are right. The young one did get a lot of money and invited nearly 20 people." Niu Man admitted this. thing.
And Song Wuya also saw another thing from his face, that is, Niu Man did not lie, what he said was absolutely true.It seemed that they really went drinking the night the warehouse caught fire.
But such a thing, Song Wuya was thinking in his heart, what is the relationship between this and the fire.
"Since that's the case, then the more than 20 people who escaped because of you, I'm afraid they lined up to thank you?" Song Wuya just thought about it in his mind, and immediately continued following what he said just now .
Niu Man nodded embarrassingly again, admitting the matter.
After all, they still don't know the cause of death of the five corpses, but after all, people died, so they would probably think that if they hadn't gone to drink, they might have died there too.
Now this Niuman seems to be their savior, how can we not thank Niuman.
"Then I don't know where you guys are going to have dinner tonight? Why don't you take me with you?" Song Wuya saw Niu Man admitting this matter, but he didn't open his mouth, and immediately said something jokingly.
Niu Man suddenly became excited: "Okay, if Mr. Song pays you some favors, you guys are lucky! Tonight is opposite Guanshan Restaurant."
When the words Guanshan Restaurant came out of Niu Man's mouth, both Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were startled.They thought it was full of cattle, but a servant of the Niu family had enough money to eat in the Guanshan restaurant.That's great, a big gasp became the opposite of Guanshan Restaurant.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Song Wuya immediately shook his head: "I'm just joking. I'm not familiar with you, and I can't drink enough. I'm afraid I can't drink you. Besides, I'm afraid I'm going to drink with you tonight." The Niu Mansion is a guest."
These words were just a tentative sentence from Song Wuya, how could he go drinking with these people.He just wanted to confirm whether this matter was true, but he never got together to drink with these people just to inquire about such trivial news.
However, Song Wuya had another idea in his mind.

"Hey! That's it, since your lord has something to do, forget it." Niu Man seemed a little unhappy, which showed that he still wanted to take this opportunity to have a meal with Song Wuya.
Song Wuya saw it, and didn't say anything more. He pointed to the rooms in front and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
"Oh! This is where the forage is stored." Niu Man replied when he heard Song Wuya asking questions again, his expression changed immediately.
Looking at the few rooms in front of him, Song Wuya asked again: "Don't you have a place to store your goods here?"
"My lord, no goods are stored here. Even if it is urgent, all the goods will be in the warehouse and will not appear here." Niu Man is very sure of this matter.
Song Wuya nodded, and immediately stepped forward, pushing open a door in front of him.
Sure enough, the house is full of fodder, piled together, almost the whole house is full of fodder.
Looking at the fodder, Song Wuya walked into the house and looked around.
"There's still so much fodder, isn't it all prepared in winter?" Song Wuya could tell that so many horses must have consumed a lot of fodder, and the house where the fodder was stored was definitely not the only one Such a room.
Niu Man nodded immediately: "My lord, we have to buy these forages almost once a month or two. They won't be stored for too long, or they will get damp easily."
Song Wuya looked at the fodder, didn't say anything, and was about to turn around and leave immediately.
At the moment when he turned around, he felt slippery under his feet, he staggered and almost fell down.
"Sir Song, please slow down." Niu Man watched this scene, broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately exclaimed.
If Song Wuya fell on him, it would be a serious crime, and he couldn't bear it.
Song Wuya stood firm, waved his hands and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I accidentally slipped. What's on the ground? Why do I feel like I'm stepping on sand?"
The feeling from the bottom of the feet is relatively accurate, Song Wuya's words are his true feelings.
Niu Man immediately explained: "Your Excellency is right. Look at our place, there is mud everywhere outside. It is inevitable that people who come in and out will be stained with some sand."
Hearing what he said, Song Wuya looked down at his feet.
"Master Song, be careful."
As soon as Song Wuya bowed his head here, Niu Man stepped forward to support him, and pulled him outside.
Regarding this, Song Wuya just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Okay, let's go back." Song Wuya saw that there was really nothing to see here, so he stopped staying and said to Niu Man.
Hearing this, Niu Man immediately ran over to prepare the carriage.
The carriage stopped outside, untied the rope, and waited for the two of them to get on the carriage.
Taking advantage of this time, Song Wuya said to Bai Zhuo: "Brother Bai, today is not in vain."
"Huh?" Bai Zhuo let out a light snort. Seeing that Song Wuya didn't intend to explain, he also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions right away.
After the two got into the carriage, they immediately returned to the county seat.
After being busy for a while, I haven't eaten lunch yet.The two don't feel hungry now, but they also know that it's time to eat.
Back in the city, Song Wuya called Niuman back, and he and Bai Zhuo went straight back to the inn.
"Brother Wuya, what did you find?"
