It seems that the murderer's hatred for Meng Shaoyuan is very deep.

Who was it that killed Meng Shaoyuan in front of Gu Xiangyi?

The bloody axe was thrown aside, and Qin's mother came from behind, and when she saw this scene, she exclaimed in surprise and almost lost her breath.

"Who... Who did it!ah!"

Looking around, there are no strange people there. The first floor is a place for eating, drinking and listening to music, the third floor is the residence of prostitutes, and the second floor is used for these people to have fun.

Recently, because of the murder of Ge Yao, the number of guests in the painting boat has plummeted, so there are only two guests on the second floor except for Meng Shaoyuan, and there are several prostitutes.

Grabbing the arm of the prostitute who was sitting on the ground, Gu Xiangyi asked, "What did you see? Who killed him?"

"I... I don't know, I didn't see anything. The prostitute had tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled.

Gu Xiangyi took a deep breath, and her voice suddenly became higher: "I'm asking you! Tell me everything you see!"

"I really don't know!" cried the prostitute, "I went down with Chunzhu to get wine, and when I came back, I saw him like this, and I saw only a figure jumping from the window, and nothing else." ”

Looking down at the window lattice, the river water below is still there, the rouge incense on the river is still there, the boat next door is still laughing and laughing, and the sound of singing music has penetrated Gu Xiangyi's ears.

A calm faction covers the murder of Yan Mengfang tightly.

It seems that that man not only has a monstrous hatred for Meng Shaoyuan, but also a person with excellent kung fu, otherwise it would be impossible to climb down from the second floor of the painting boat without making a sound at all, there must be his boat sampan below, otherwise how could he run? How did he get up? Gu Xiangyi and Qin's mother blocked the staircase, and no one else came up except for seeing the prostitute go down to get wine, and Meng Shaoyuan didn't shout from beginning to end, as if he had suddenly been killed.

How did the murderer get up to the second floor? Gu Xiangyi had a headache surrounded by questions.

That's it, since someone killed Meng Shaoyuan for her, then she doesn't need to do it, and it's useless to keep it any longer. Turning around and going down to the first floor, Gu Xiangyi walked briskly and got into the sampan, unable to calm down for a long time.

Xiao Jingyao appeared in the sampan at some point and asked, "Is it done?"

"Not really. ”

"I heard screams. Xiao Jingyao stared at Gu Xiangyi's face carefully.

"I didn't kill people. Gu Xiangyi sighed softly: "I don't know who rushed in front of me, just leave, it's the only son of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who died, and the people here are estimated to report to the official immediately." ”

In the rouge alley, a man in regular clothes carefully wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief, and looked at the entrance of the alley with dark eyes.

If you don't leave, you won't be able to do it, and I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will start searching immediately. The man threw away the handkerchief in his hand and turned to walk away quickly.

Gu Xiangyi, who returned to He Yinju, still can't forget the scene of Meng Shaoyuan's death. It stands to reason that he doesn't have much to do with the Ning family, it doesn't matter if he kills him or not, he just wants to hold down Meng Fanlin's shortcomings before he wants to start with his son, but why did that person kill him and use such a bloody method?

Could it be Meng Shaoyuan's old enemies in the past? He has been bullying men and women all day long, and he must have formed a lot of grudges.

Only this statement can calm Gu Xiangyi's heart a little.

Seeing that her girl's state at the moment was different from her usual return, Pomegranate was also a little panicked, but she didn't dare to ask, so she only brought her a cup of tea.

Xiao Jingyao sat on the chair next to him, thinking about it for a long time but didn't know what to say.

"You guys are guarding below, have you seen a person falling down from the second floor?" Gu Xiangyi asked.

Xiao Jingyao thought carefully: "We were on the other side at the time, and we didn't see the window on the second floor over there, and it was on the shore over there, so it would be really hard to find someone if they ran away." ”

Raising his hand and pressing his eyebrows tiredly, Gu Xiangyi said: "Forget it, it's also a good thing, I don't need to do it, but I can get rid of scum." ”

I was speechless for a while, and no one spoke again for a long time.

Xiao Jingyao looked at her, there was no light in the room, but her facial features were very clear, tearing off the disguise on her face, that face was familiar to him.

Although I don't know if the person who wants to marry Lu Mingsheng is her, but thinking that it is good to remind her, Xiao Jingyao said: "I heard a man in the tavern that day that Uncle Zhong Yi told the Gu family's daughter, and I suspect that the person is you." ”

"Huh?" Gu Xiangyi opened his eyes, a little unincomprehensible to the meaning of his words.

"In the next few days, I will come to the door to propose, if it is not you, it is better, but you had better be prepared. ”

Gu Xiangyi nodded: "Got it." ”

After Xiao Jingyao left, it rained in the second half of the night, which added a bit of mystery to Meng Shaoyuan's death.

A thunderclap sounded, the rain became heavier and heavier, heavy dark clouds wantonly blocked the night sky, lightning flashed endlessly, thunder roared, and the hearts of those who listened were terrified.

The rain did not stop until the tenth day of dawn.

The pomegranate was wrapped in a thin quilt. He Yinju is located in the shade, the summer day is good, and there is always a sense of gloom at night, not to mention this majestic rainy day, the yin wind wafts in along the window, it is cool, but it seems to be a little too cool.

She didn't sleep, but she didn't dare to turn over, for fear of waking up Gu Xiangyi. In fact, Gu Xiangyi didn't sleep either, she turned over lightly and opened her eyes.

Tonight's events are a little more bizarre.

Who was it that rushed to her front, killed the target she wanted to kill, and didn't come and leave without her attention?

If you don't sleep well at night, you won't be able to wake up the next day, Gu Xiangyi stretched her waist, turned over and put on her shoes, and pushed open the window to feel that the air seemed to be much fresher.

After the rain, the He Yinju was a little muddy, and the wildflowers in the corner of the wall drooped their heads listlessly, as if they had been watered by the rain.

The kitchen sent breakfast, and to Gu Xiangyi's surprise, today's breakfast was better than in the past.

Fu Zhirong couldn't sit still for a moment in the front yard, pulled Gu Hengjun's shirt and asked, "Really, the son of Commander Meng was killed in that Mengliuhe?"

"Can there be a fake?" Gu Hengjun said impatiently.

Covering her mouth in surprise, Fu Zhirong paced the room again and again, muttering: "How come, what's going on lately, first Ge Yao, and now the son of Commander Meng, why is the world so unpeaceful recently?"

"You are the lady in charge, the backyard is going to be guarded, they are not allowed to go out at will, and idlers are not allowed to come in. Gu Hengjun frowned and said: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is in a mess, Ge Yan's case has no eyebrows at all, and now there are other cases, it's only been a few days? ”

Fu Zhirong suddenly remembered something when he heard this: "Wait, don't you think, official, in addition to knowing kung fu, the two of them have one thing in common?"

Frightened by her startle, Gu Hengjun glared helplessly and asked, "What?"

"It's all related to Meng Fanlin!" Fu Zhirong said seriously: "Ge Yu is Meng Fanlin's henchman, that is the most proud of his subordinates, Meng Shaoyuan doesn't need to mention it, that is Meng Fanlin's only son." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Hengjun suddenly felt that his mouth was suddenly opened, and he responded: "What you said is that Meng Fanlin is the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and Ge Yao and Meng Shaoyuan are both him and those close to him, but... What are you doing to kill them? Isn't it aimed at Meng Fanlin?"

These words made Gu Hengjun himself a little unconvinced.

Who has eyes on the back of his head and dares to deal with Meng Fanlin? The commander of the third grade, who can see the emperor every day, has always said the same thing in the imperial city, what can he please if he goes against him? People have followed the emperor for many years, and they have more face in front of the emperor than the ministers of the first and second grades.

The death of the two is really strange, one seems to have been robbed, and the other is a clear vendetta, I don't know if it's a person, and I don't know why I want to kill them, although it has nothing to do with Gu Hengjun's eight poles, but it still makes him very uneasy.

"Tell those boys that they won't go to that place in Mengliuhe for half a year, and they don't know who killed them if they don't lose their lives. ”

Fu Zhirong snorted coldly in his heart, thinking that the two evil obstacles born by the Jiang family had better die in Mengliuhe.

"But now the Lu family is still coming to propose marriage, will the officials let them in?"

Gu Hengjun pondered for a moment: "They are all officials in the court, and they don't have to give people a closed door to eat, now that the capital is in chaos, it is not certain whether the Lu family can come, if they come, let them in, and the left and right are also good family affairs, if they don't come, let's not keep quiet, just wait for them to come again." ”

Lu Yin also knew about Mengliuhe, to be honest, now he really doesn't want to take his son to the door of the Gu family. Not to mention anything else, if Meng Fanlin knew that he was running around for his son's family affairs the day after his son's death, what if he held a grudge in the future?

But once such a good family affair is loosened, it will be a cooked duck flying! The family affairs of Bofu are so easy to climb? A son of a civil official from the sixth grade, even if he is a concubine of the Zhengwupin family, is not willing to marry, and the concubine of the Bofu is willing to marry that is a stupid family matter, and only those who lack tendons in their heads are willing to marry, and can they just let go?

Lu Yin also knows what his son is like, his reputation in the capital has never been good, and there are several children in the family before he can discuss his parents, which serious girl is willing to marry him?

And this family is Gu Fu took the initiative to find him on the head of the Lu family, this is the intention of the family to get close to and promote, if you don't take the initiative to propose, what if Uncle Gu thinks that the Lu family deliberately takes Qiao? In case Uncle Gu misunderstands Lu Yin's idea and doesn't have to take the grudge again, the earl is not something he can afford to provoke.

So early in the morning, he packed up and took Lu Mingsheng to the door of Gu's house.

"Big lady, here!" Zhou's mother came to report: "Lord Lu has brought his son over, and he is now in the guest house." ”

Fu Zhirong calmed down, his thoughts pulled back from the killing of Meng Shaoyuan, and instructed the maid on the side: "Go to He Yinju and call the six girls and bring them directly to the guest house." ”
