The night was dark, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the empty streets.

The man guarding the door stepped forward, "The second master." ”

Liu Yi turned over and dismounted, and said as he walked: "How are things going?" ”

"As you have arranged, they have seen the letters. In the past few days, the newly appointed Lord Zhang in Linshui County is secretly investigating several pharmacies in Linshui. ”

"What's the result of the investigation?"

"It's already suspicious of Atul."

Liu Yi frowned and said, "Suspicion? I've given him so much time and clues, and I'm just suspicious until now, heh, it's useless. Go, give some gifts to that adult, remember, the action is smaller. ”

"Yes."

"Have you seen any other movement from them lately?"

The man said, "Miss Min'er has been walking in the peach garden recently, and Mengzhou also went to the young lady's courtyard today." ”

Liu Yi asked, "What is she going to do in Taoyuan if she has nothing to do?" ”

"I heard that it was to see the son named Huaizhi."

Liu Yi laughed incredulously and said, "No wonder you came to make trouble with me that day, I had a new goal." Those who don't know think that she has clairvoyance, and if she looks good, she doesn't have anything she can't see. Crazy all day long and out of shape, okay, don't mention her. Recently, you have kept a close eye on the commercial transportation line from Jin'an to Linshui, lest this piece of fat be ruined before it is hot. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, I heard that there was a disaster on the side of Zhou'an Mountain two days ago."

"Yes."

Liu Yi stopped and looked at the crescent moon above his head, like holding a smiling scimitar to the sky, as if a cloud could fall down with a shake.

Liu Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's really God helping me." ”

In the peach garden, it is rare to be idle, and the breeze outside the window rolls the fragrance of peach blossoms, hitting the window.

Jing Rong held his hands and looked at the figure in the courtyard in a daze. The wind rises and falls, and the strand of the hairband sways slowly.

"Dream Week." Heshan greeted and waved his hand when he saw the figure of Jing Rong by the window, "Brother Huai." ”

Meng Zhou looked back and saw that Jing Rong had already approached with a pressed step. She poured a glass of water and put it on Jing Rong's left hand, and asked casually, "How do you feel today?" ”

"Much better."

Meng Zhou nodded and said to Heshan: "What news have you heard?" ”

"Liu Yi is back." Heshan said and nodded to the table, "Pour me a glass of water too." ”

Meng Zhou said angrily: "You don't have no hands, you fall by yourself." ”

Heshan snorted lightly and muttered: "Heavy color and light friends, treat them differently." ”

Dream Zhou, "What did you say?" ”

Heshan shrugged, "It's nothing, do you know where Liu Yi has been these days?" ”

Meng Zhou said: "When I was wandering around in the past few days, I heard a few people say a few words, I heard that I went to Kyoto, what's wrong?" ”

Heshan said: "That, it's only a part, I heard that Liu Yi recently ran from Jin'an to several commercial transportation points in the Linshui area. He also sent people to Kyoto to meet with several leaders of the Fuhai Merchant Gang. ”

Jing Rong said: "I heard that Xie Chi has always been in charge of the business transportation branch. ”

Heshan nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that Liu Yi and Xie Chi have been secretly competing, Liu Yi has frequently appeared in the lot Xie Chi is responsible for recently, and sent someone to meet with the old club." You say, did he want to do something while Xie Chi was not in the gang? ”

"If that's the case, it's a good opportunity."

Listening to Jing Rong and Heshan singing and harmonizing, Meng Zhou was at a loss, "Wait, where did you hear all this, I don't know at all." ”

Heshan sighed twice, very proud, "You, you still don't work hard enough." As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced through the air, nailed to the pillar, and after a few buzzes, it returned to calm.

Meng Zhou got up and turned his head to look, only to see a purple corner of his clothes swept across the wall.

"What's the situation?" Heshan said that he saw that Mengzhou reached out and was about to take the arrow to stop it: "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Meng Zhou said as he removed the roll of paper from the arrow.

Heshan said suspiciously: "Do you know that person?" ”

Meng Zhou thought for two seconds and said, "Sort of, it's a friend with a bad temper." ”

Jing Rong said: "What did the letter say?" ”

Meng Zhou spread out the letter, and the letter began with a few words written on the dragon, flying and phoenix, and handed it over urgently.

Mengzhou didn't know how the letter sent to her by Zhang Hou was intercepted by Sheng Lan, but Sheng Lan was also a reliable person, and it was good that the news was safe.

She thought about touching the seal mark in the lower left corner and said, "It's news from Zhang Hou's side." I dragged him to help check a few pharmacies in Linshui and the place that Xiaokong said, and there is about progress. ”

Heshan said: "Show me, tsk, if you really follow Zhang Houcha's result, this wind direction is not good for Xie Chi." ”

Meng Zhou knocked on the table and said: "Indeed, the pharmacy owner's confession points to his subordinates, the secret passage after Shaoguang connects the business point he is responsible for, and the Gao Mansion still has letters between him and Gao He, which is not so easy to get away with." ”

Heshan said suddenly: "Then look at it this way, Liu Yi has been wandering around Xie Chi's territory in the past few days, either collecting evidence or buying people's hearts to plot against him." By the way, there is also Xie Chi's reputation outside, you think, the more dangerous things are, the more profitable, if this matter is poked out, there is no need to incite it, then the people must also think that Xie Chi is doing evil for money, and then he will lose his name. ”

"With such a big movement, can't it reach Xie Chi's ears?"

Meng Zhou said: "Brother Huai is right, I am also very strange about this question. It stands to reason that although Xie Chiren is outside, he has been fighting with Liu Yi for so long, how can he say that the gang should also have his own eyes and ears, but now, he really doesn't have the slightest posture to refute, strange, very strange. ”

Heshan suddenly said: "Look, it's on fire, is Shen Min'er's yard over there!?" ”

Meng Zhou and Jing Rong turned around and saw a thick smoke behind them.

Meng Zhou got up suddenly, "I'll take a look." ”

"Hey, you..."Before Heshan's words were finished, Mengzhou had already rushed out of Taoyuan like the wind.

Heshan sighed, "Forget it, let her go." ”

Suddenly, a long wind suddenly swept in the courtyard, and the falling flowers flowed to the east.

Heshan looked at the scene, and suddenly turned his head to look at Jing Rong as if he thought of something: "It's not good, that flower field." ”

By the time Jingrong and Heshan arrived, the fire was already out of control, and the wind swept the fire and burned the flower fields into a red sky, and the situation was chaotic.

Jing Rong found Meng Zhou in a corner outside Shen Min'er's hospital, she was squatting on the edge of the steps, her hair was crooked, she was wearing a red coat, and her hands were stained with a lot of black ash, her head hung down and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Are there any injuries?"

Meng Zhou raised her head, Jing Rong half-knelt in front of her, her expression was gentle, and her tone was like coaxing a frightened child.

Meng Zhou shook his head, and just wanted to rub his face with his hand, but was stopped by Jing Rong. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the ashes on Mengzhou's face and said, "I was deceived again." ”

"How do you know?!"

Jing Rongxin sighed, "But you feel guilty about the person who lied to you, so you have nowhere to lose your temper and are examining yourself." ”

Meng Zhou sighed, looking very melancholy, "To be honest, you don't make much money as an official in Kyoto, so that's why you have developed this side business so well." Why don't I give you the money, and you can help me see if I can run it next year and make a windfall? ”

"It's a prize, but if you really want to see it, I can do the math for you."

"Dream Week! What are you doing here? What's going on with you? You're not going to take advantage of the chaos to make money and be beaten out, are you? ”

Hearing Heshan's startled voice, Mengzhou had a headache, "Shut up." ”

"Dream Childe." Hearing this voice, Meng Zhou suddenly stood up and looked at his side, "Miss Yue'er." ”

Yue'er clenched the box in her hand, struggled for a few moments, and finally spoke: "What happened just now was that I couldn't stand you, and I apologize to you." ”

Yue'er said and handed the box in her hand to Meng Zhoudao: "This is given to you by Miss." ”

Meng Zhou hesitated: "That, can I bother you to help me bring a sentence." ”

"I can't." After Yue'er finished speaking, she changed her previous attitude of apology, rolled her eyes and turned her head to leave.

Heshan teased: "You are very powerful, Mengzhou, we are so late for a while, what kind of demon are you doing." It hurts, why do you do it when you speak. ”

"You should, don't hurry up and leave." Meng Zhou said and turned to look at Shen Min'er's courtyard, which was burned to pieces, and sighed in his heart.

Half a moment ago, when Meng Zhou rushed over to the firelight, Shen Min's courtyard was already making a pot of porridge. In the panicked crowd, Mengzhou was pushed and bumped into a person, and she turned around to take a photo with Yue'er.

"Miss Yue'er, what about Miss Shen, is she okay?"

"Girl, she." Yue'er suddenly paused as she spoke.

Meng Zhou said anxiously: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"I, I don't know where the girl went?"

"But aren't you Miss Shen's side?" Meng Zhou said in a slower tone, "Do you think about where she is most likely to be or where she is going at this time?" ”

Yue'er stammered: "I, I know, the girl will either go to the hall or go back to the bedroom to get the letter." ”

Hearing the letter, Meng Zhou's heart sank suddenly, "In this way, you take someone to the hall, and I'll go to the bedroom to look for it." After Meng Zhou finished speaking, he took off his coat and dipped it in water and rushed to Shen Min'er's bedroom.

Yue'er looked at the running figure, and didn't move her feet for a long time, until a small guy next to her ran over to remind her, she came back to her senses and hurriedly walked out.

"Yue'er." Shen Min'er gasped, grabbed Yue'er and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"Miss, you're back." Yue'er said with a vocal cord cry, "It's good that you just went out." ”

Shen Min'er smiled: "What are you afraid of, I can walk out safely even if I am inside." She said and glanced at the situation in the courtyard, and said to the little people around her: "You go and tell them all to come out, it's too dangerous inside, this fire is big, and it's not enough to rely on our people." ”

"Yes."

Shen Min'er said and said to Attu: "You go and inform my second brother, and say that you will borrow his guards for use." ”

Seeing that the people in the courtyard were retreating one after another, Yue'er finally couldn't help but say, "Miss, there are still people inside." ”

"What do you mean?"

Yue'er bit her lip and said, "It's Mengzhou Gongzi, let me tell him, Miss, you may be in the bedroom." ”

Shen Min'er said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" I'll come out and clean you up later. After she finished speaking, she lifted the bucket beside her and poured it on her body, and rushed into the courtyard.

"Miss, miss."

"Miss Yue'er, you better wait outside, let's just go in." After speaking, a few small people outside the courtyard also rushed in with buckets.

"Dream Week, Dream Week!"

Meng Zhou reluctantly opened his eyes, "Ahem, Shen, Miss Shen, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Min'er said angrily: "Are you crazy, you will believe what others say." Don't go out with me yet. As soon as she finished speaking, a pillar fell from the top.

Meng Zhou's eyes froze, and he pulled Shen Min'er and fell backwards, the moment the two hit the ground and collided, Shen Min'er suddenly seemed to realize something, and her expression froze, "You, you are." ”

After being stunned, Shen Min'er got up instantly, "This account, I'll settle it with you after I get out." Get up! ”

Shen Min'er took Meng Zhou out of the courtyard and let go of her hand angrily. Seeing this, Yue'er stretched out her hand to put on Shen Min'er's coat, and whispered tentatively: "Miss." ”

Shen Min'er stood in place and clasped her hands, and the little guy next to her immediately took a few steps back. After a few seconds of silence, Shen Min'er ripped off her clothes with some irritability and threw them on Meng Zhou, her eyes didn't stay for a second, and her tone tried her best to suppress anger, "Let's go." ”

Thinking of the last scene, Meng Zhou couldn't help sighing, she thought that maybe Shen Min'er would know about her daughter's body, but she didn't expect her to know in such an unbearable way. Meng Zhou scratched his head, a little bored, it was obviously the peach blossom debt of the person next to him, how could the retribution in the end be all on his head, it was really a good reincarnation in heaven, and it was her every time.

In the morning, there was a fire in Shen Min's courtyard, and Xie Chi rushed back in the evening.

"Big brother, aren't you going back in a few days? Why did you come back today. ”

Xie Chi swept Shen Min'er twice, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that you rushed into the sea of fire today to save people." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Min'er immediately said obediently: "No, no, never." ”

"Still lying! Do you think I don't know what you've been doing these days since I'm away? ”

"Big brother, I was wrong, I won't dare next time, no, no, no, there will be no next time, I promise."

Xie Chi didn't answer, staring at Shen Min'er with sharp eyes, and after a while, just when Shen Min'er thought that this matter was over, Xie Chi slowly spoke: "What's going on with that Huaizhi in Taoyuan?" ”

Shen Min'er chuckled in her heart and whispered: "No, it's nothing, he is a friend invited back by the second brother, and I am just entertaining the second brother." ”

"Hospitality? I think you're trying to get him in. ”

"I want to, and I have to be willing."

Xie Chi frowned and said, "What are you muttering?" Isn't it true that you're still not convinced? ”

Shen Min'er shook her hand, and immediately stood up and said, "No, no." ”

Xie Chi gritted his teeth and said: "He has only been here for a few days, do you know what his origin is, what his purpose is, and whether he has any thoughts that harm you, so he will go up and make a fool of himself." ”

Xie Chi said in a slow tone; "I let you practice that set of swordsmanship, and have you finished reading that book?"

"No, not yet."

"What!" Xie Chi slapped the table, angry, "Okay, it's really good, come on!" ”

"The big boss."

Xie Chi, "Put her in a dark room for me to reflect." No one is allowed to let her out without my orders. ”

"Big boss, this."

"Take it away!"

At dawn the next day, Meng Zhou was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, she opened the door in a daze and saw Heshan with an anxious face, "Don't sleep, the people from the government are coming to arrest people." ”

Dream Zhou Dusk woke up, "Arrest someone, arrest whom?" ”

"Who else. Thank you. ”

Before Xie Chi came back, his courtyard was cold as if it was uninhabited, who knew that as soon as he came back with his front foot, the courtyard with his back foot would be so lively.

Meng Zhou and the crane lynx were behind the stone, watching Gao He walk step by step to Xie Chi.

"Lord Gao has a good fight, I don't know where Xie offended Lord Gao."

Gao He said: "Since Gang Master Xie asked, then the official will tell you that the official received an anonymous letter that someone reported you for doing illegal business." ”

"What about the evidence?"

"The evidence is naturally there, and it will be clear when you go back to the government with me."

Gao He laughed, untied the sword on his side and handed it to the guards beside him, and said to Gao He: "Since Lord Gao said so, then I'll go and take a look." ”

Xie Chi's words were light, not like going to the mansion but more like going to a restaurant to eat.

Gao He was also stunned, counting the people in the courtyard, he brought more than 20 people to take down Xie Chi, and now Xie Chi's attitude seems to be redundant and occupy space.

Gao He cleared his throat, "Come on, take it away." ”

Heshan looked at Xie Chi's back and was shocked, "That's it!" ”

"Otherwise, you still want to see blood splattered here." Meng Zhou patted Heshan's shoulder and said, "Let's go." ”

At noon, the sun was exceptionally hot and bright as a summer day.

"Two masters."

"How's it going, what's the news over there?"

Yan Qi said: "Lord Gao has already sent the big boss to prison. ”

Liu Yi said: "So fast, Xie Chi didn't say anything?" ”

"The news from Lord Gao said that the big boss did not admit but did not deny the incriminating evidence, but just waited silently."

"That's not right." Liu Yi frowned and said, "According to Xie Chi's temperament, he will never sit still like this." Yan Qi, you go and send a letter to Gao He, telling him to hurry up and sit down to confirm these incriminating evidence, and also, find a few more people to keep an eye on the principals on the Jinlin line, at this time, there must be no mistakes. ”

"Yes."

In prison, Gao He looked at Xie Chi's ignorant and fearless, complacent appearance, and felt angry in his heart.

"I said thank you, the evidence is here, I advise you, it's better to confess your guilt earlier to avoid suffering."

"Don't worry, Master Gao, your things haven't arrived yet, wait a minute."

Gao He slapped the table and said, "Xie Chi, you don't waste time with me here, let me tell you, you have to recruit if you don't recruit today." ”

"Your Excellency, your Excellency."

"What's wrong? Panicked. ”

The little soldier lay on Gao He's ear and didn't know what to say, Gao He wrinkled his face at that time, "Isn't this nonsense?" He said and glanced at Xie Chi and said, "I'll clean you up when the official comes back." ”

Before Gao He stepped into the backyard, he heard the high voice of his eldest lady, which hurt his ears one after another.

"Big lady, what are you messing around with?"

Wang Liuying sneered: "What to do, of course, is to subdue demons and get rid of ghosts." ”

Gao He glanced at Heng'er, who was beaten on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and had a headache and distress, "Big lady, it's not too late for you to wait for me to come back and say anything, what do you make such an ugly scene, you are not afraid to make these subordinates see the joke." ”

"It's ugly, you don't think it's ugly, what else do I care."

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Wang Liuying said: "This little prodigal hoof dares to go to your bed in the blue sky and white day, if it is really at night, you are afraid that she will be asked to suck up her essence." ”

Wang Liuying's words were straightforward, Gao He's face suddenly turned pale, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, I just came back from the mansion, where can I see her." ”

"You mean I'm spewing blood, I'm telling you, if you have, if you don't, if you don't, if you don't have it, I can't afford to waste my work for such a slut." Wang Liuying said and leaned over and grabbed Heng'er and said, "You say it yourself, or I'll call someone to help you say it!" ”

Heng'er protected the clothes that were slightly torn off on her chest, looking pitiful, "Master, no, I don't." ”

Seeing Heng'er's movements, Wang Liuying smiled angrily: "The slut still wants to set up the archway, but it's really shameless." After she finished speaking, she slapped Heng'er's already red and swollen face.

Heng'er tilted her body, and a letter fell from her arms. Wang Liuying's eyes mentioned, and she took the letter away, "Heh, I want to see what shameless things you wrote." She said as she opened it and took a look, the more she looked at it, the more her hands trembled, "Gao He, you are really one in a million good eyes." ”

"Wang Liuying, you'd better stop in moderation!"

Wang Liuying smashed the letter on Gao He's face and sneered, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time, stop in moderation, and never interfere in your affairs again, you'd better remember today, don't come to beg me." Let's go! ”

"This crazy woman, I'll divorce you tomorrow." Gao He scolded and picked up the letter, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became. Finally, he turned to Heng'er and said angrily: "What the hell is going on, who instructed you." ”

"Master, Heng'er doesn't know, Heng'er really doesn't know, someone gave Heng'er this letter, he said that with this letter, the master can get his wish to retire the eldest lady, I'm just, I'm just." When the matter came, Heng'er panicked.

"You shut up for me, until now, you still refuse to admit it, come on, take her to prison for me."

When Xie Chi opened his eyes, he saw Gao He coming in with a black face, followed by two jailers dragging the unconscious Heng'er.

Gao He said with a heavy face: "What's going on?" ”

Xie Chi raised his eyes to look at the letter, and said with a smile: "Isn't it all written clearly, and the tall man is illiterate?" ”

Gao He gritted his teeth and said, "You already knew, didn't you?" ”

"Yes." Xie Chi was very calm, "I naturally know your letter to me. ”

"Nonsense, when did I write this."

"Just when you and Liu Yi negotiated the conditions, and you asked for that more benefit, the letter naturally came out."

Gao He was stunned and said, "How do you know?" ”

"More than that, speaking of which, I'll remind you again, guess if I die, whose turn will be next?"

In the early hours of the morning, Gao He woke up from a nightmare. On the beheading platform, it was obvious that Xie Chifu confessed to the law, but the head that fell was indeed his own. Xie Chi's words were like a thorn in Gao He's heart, stirring him up for a while.

"Someone."

"Your Excellency."

Gao He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Go and ask what that slut said?" ”

"The subordinates originally wanted to wait for the adults to wake up, and then mention this matter to the adults, Heng'er, she is dead."

"What?! What's going on. ”

"When the jailer was on patrol in the morning, he found that Heng'er had died of poison."

Gao He said angrily: "Waste, even a person can't look at it." He said as he put on his clothes and went to prison.

In prison, Gao He looked at Heng'er, who was bruised on the ground, frowned, and said, "Take it away." ”

"Why did Lord Gao come so early today?"

Gao He walked to the door of Xie Chi's cell and said, "I warn you, don't mess around here. ”

Xie Chi raised his voice and said, "Lord Gao, Heng'er is the key person who framed us, and if she dies, it won't do you and me any good." ”

"Even so, do you think you can get away with your crimes?"

Xie Chi changed his comfortable posture and said, "It seems that Lord Gao is now willing to sit down and talk to me about my crimes." ”

Gao He threw those charges on the ground and said, "I want to see how you justify it." ”

"You don't need to say it, someone will tell you."

In the peach garden, a flying arrow pierced the air.

After reading Mengzhou, his face was full of solemnity.

Heshan said: "What's wrong? What's wrong with your expression, what's wrong? ”

"I need to go to the government."

Jing Rong, "I'll go with you." ”

Mengzhou looked up at Jing Rong and said, "It's okay, I'm also relieved to have you, Heshan, take care of yourself and Xiaokong." ”

"Huh, huh." Heshan said speechlessly: "You told me something." ”

In the mansion, Gao He looked at the things in his hand for a long time and said, "These." ”

"Lord Gao, isn't this evidence enough for you to order the arrest of Liu Er?"

Gao He hesitated: "Although this letter has a beginning and an end, this case is serious, and this official still needs some time to verify." ”

"Naturally, it is an honor for us grass people to share the worries of adults, and as for the final result, it is up to the adults to decide." Meng Zhou said: "In this case, the grass people retreat, if the adults have any doubts, the grass people will do their best." ”

Out of the mansion, Jing Rong remembered Mengzhou's respectful appearance just now, and said, "I thought you would not be able to bear it just now." ”

"Can't help it, beat him?" Meng Zhou said and stretched out the crumpled handkerchief in his hand and said, "Don't say it, I almost couldn't bear it at that time." ”

Jing Rong picked up the handkerchief in Meng Zhou's hand and said, "That's really hard work." He said Shun Shun Mengzhou, a wisp of fried hair on the top of his head, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you, too." ”

Meng Zhou was lazy, "This matter is finally coming to an end, and when the matter of the Shui Yang Gang is over, Heshan can finally go to the border city to take a look." ”

"You're going to the border city?"

"Well," Meng Zhou nodded and said, "I remember, aren't you going to the border city too?" ”

"Are you going to the border city to find your relatives?"

Meng Zhou hesitated for two seconds and said: "It should be, Heshan is going to the border city to find a relative." What about you, what are you doing in the border city? ”

"Looking for relatives."

"It's such a coincidence, you are also looking for relatives. Looks like we're quite fated. ”

The clouds on the horizon are rolling up, and Jing is a little trance-like.

"Yes, we will meet by fate."
