Tian Chu looked at the cunning fox in front of him, did not speak, and went straight without looking back, knowing the expression of the third lady at this moment and what she was thinking in her heart.

Walking to the cell, Zhu Hao said: "This third lady wants you to catch Miao Zhe so much, why does she herself refuse to say it herself?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "If she says it, then her fox tail will be exposed." ”

As he was talking, the jailer came from the door and said, "Master, a man named Shu Kang said that he wanted to see you, and he has been waiting for a long time. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he was happy and said, "Are they all here?" Okay, that's a good thing, bring him in, just bring him to the porter, I'll be right there. ”

Meng Tianchu and Shu Kang were talking in the concierge for a while, and Shu Kang came out and left.

Meng Tianchu walked back and forth in the courtyard for a few years, and Zhu Hao and the others kept watching him walk back and forth, knowing that he must be thinking about the problem, so no one bothered him, just like that, after about a bag of cigarettes, he stopped, his eyes showed an excited light, his hands clapped, and said, "That's it!" ”

The third lady was pacing back and forth in the cell, and when she saw two jailers passing by, she stopped and asked in a kind manner, "I heard that the master said that he wanted to let us out, can you ask the two masters, when can we leave?" ”

One of them only glanced at the third lady with squinted eyes, and said angrily, "I don't know." Then the two men walked away.

The third lady looked at their distant backs, and in annoyance, she gently slapped the column of the cell fence with her hand. At this time, Wang Yi came from a distance, and when the third lady saw it, she called him loudly, in fact, Wang Yi also happened to come to find her, and when she saw that she called herself, she stepped forward. I want to hear what she wants to say to herself.

The third lady said, "Didn't you just say that you were going to let us go?" Why don't you let us go? This cell is dark and damp, and I am really afraid that the weak fourth lady and the old man will not be able to bear it. ”

Wang Yi was secretly amused in his heart, looking at the third lady's anxious look, he couldn't tell that she was pretending at all.

Wang Yi said: "Master said, what you just said is still reasonable, although I don't know who the real murderer is, but he also thinks that it is not the eldest lady, so you still have to stay here for a while." When it's time to let you go, we'll come and release you. ”

As soon as the third lady heard this, she sighed, Wang Yi turned around and was about to leave, and the third lady suddenly smiled and said: "Can it be convenient, I want to go and see Xue'er, other people are in good health, and I don't have to worry, it's just that I haven't seen her for a whole day, and I'm very worried." ”

Wang Yi looked at the third lady and said, "I'll go and ask the master first." ”

The third lady hurriedly said: "After all, you are also a dignified head catcher. Why bother the master with this matter? Do you agree that it is not the same? ”

Wang Yi thought to himself, although I am not as smart as you, there is no need for me Wang Yi to be a fool, I don't know what your purpose is to meet the fourth lady now?

Wang Yi deliberately pretended to be very useful after listening to the words of the third lady, and the third lady saw Wang Yi's very proud expression, so she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. said: "Actually, I have always admired Wang for being a man, you are heroic and chivalrous, and you are a man among men." ”

Wang Yi pretended to be modest and waved his hand and said, "Okay, where am I as good as the third lady said, it's just that the fourth lady coughed all night last night before she fell asleep, and waited for her to wake up." I'll call you. ”

Seeing Wang Yi say this, the third lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you can go busily, Xiaoxiao won't bother."

Wang Yi actually came to tell her. She couldn't leave for the time being, but she didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask, so she pushed the boat down the river and told her that it was it.

Wang Yi came to the fourth lady's room, Meng Tianchu and they were all there, Zuo Jiayin came to see the fourth lady with some boiled soup, everyone was talking in the room, after all, the fourth lady had eaten their spirit-hurting herbs before, and now they only ate Jiayin's mushrooms for only two days, and they could sit on the bed and talk to everyone, and their complexion had basically returned to normal.

Wang Yi motioned for Meng Tianchu to go out to talk, and the two of them walked out of the door, and Wang Yi told Meng Tianchu the meaning that the third lady wanted to see the fourth lady.

After finishing speaking, Meng Tianchu and Wang Yi looked at each other, and then both of them laughed, Zuo Jiayin walked out of the room, looking at the two big men standing there and being so happy, since Meng Tianchu took over the case, it was the first time Zuo Jiayin was so happy to see Meng Tianchu.

Zuo Jiayin walked up to them and said, "I listened to Aunt Xue just now."

, your case has progressed, are you happy about this? ”

Meng Tianchu suppressed his smile and said, "I think it should be, I hope I can go home and sleep early tonight." ”

Zuo Jiayin saw Meng Tianchu say this, and was also happy for them, and said: "Why don't we come to the house to eat together in the evening, I haven't seen you so happy for a long time, besides, everyone has been working hard with you for so long, it can be regarded as going to fatigue for everyone, what do you see?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "That's natural, let's go our separate ways, you go home and prepare wine and food for us, and we'll do things now." ”

Wang Yi also thanked Zuo Jiayin with a smile, and then went to the cell with Meng Tianchu.

—

After lunch, Wang Yi appeared at the door of the third lady's cell on time, saw the food on the table, and knew that the third lady had not eaten at all, she sat quietly on the chair, her posture was very upright, her hands were flat on her legs, her eyes were looking directly at the wall in front of her, there was no expression on her face, and she couldn't see what she was thinking.

Wang Yi coughed, the third lady heard the voice, turned her head, and saw that it was Wang Yi, and finally had a trace of expression on her face, which was a smiling expression, but it made people feel that they were smiling but not smiling.

The third lady walked up to Wang Yi and said, "Xue'er slept soundly this night." ”

Wang Yi said: "Actually, she woke up a long time ago and didn't call you, because she said she didn't want to see you, and she has been getting worse and worse recently, and she has difficulty talking, so she didn't call you." ”

The third lady seemed to be very surprised, and said, "Why don't you want to see me?" ”

Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "Probably because she is afraid that you will be even more sad when you see her now, so it is better not to let you see her, after all, they were all good sisters in the past." ”

When the third lady heard this, she looked very sad, wiped the corners of her eyes with the sweat towel on her hand, and said, "She has been here for two days, has she never given her food?" She can't stop it,"

Wang Yi nodded hurriedly and said, "I thought of going with the third lady, thinking that the master had ignored the fourth lady in order to find out the murderer in the past two days, or if the third lady had a heart, so what should I do?" Or tell me where the fourth lady put the stalks, and I'll bring them to her. ”

The third lady thought for a while and said: "There is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, but for the sake of the fourth lady's body, I am not afraid of taboo anything, although the herbs she eats have always been prepared by the eldest lady, but I think ordinary people can't find where she put it, if you believe me, let me go back and bring it to her." ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he said happily: "Actually, I also have this intention, and if I don't say it, I'm afraid that you will be too careful, how can I not believe it?" And that's what we mean. ”

When the third lady heard this, she said, "Do you mean that Master Meng thinks the same way?" ”

"That's natural, that's what he told me just now, saying that he won't let you go, and you should blame him, so he didn't come himself, and he didn't want to see you disappointed."

The third lady smiled slightly and said, "Where will it be?" So when do I go? ”

Wang Yi said: "I'll go to prepare the carriage, and then I'll pick you up, just to take you through the back door, because the other people are still closed here, so that they can see you go, thinking it will turn the sky upside down." ”

The third lady said: "It's still Wang Zhutou who is thoughtful, I'll wait for you here." ”

The carriage sent the third lady to the gate of Miao's house, the gate was closed, although there was no one for two days, the front of the door was already covered with thick snow, and the footprints of dogs or other things could occasionally be seen on the snow on the snow, and one or two foraging birds saw that someone was coming, so they quickly flew to the wall or roof, watched from a distance, and did not leave.

The third lady got out of the carriage, and a cold wind blew in her face, and she could not help shivering, and when the man who drove the carriage saw her get out of the carriage, he drove the carriage away, and the whole alley was left alone for her to stand, and she looked up at the gray sky, and the sky was already falling again with snowflakes, which fell scattered on her raised forehead and cheeks, and then melted.

"Tiny." A sound made her seem to wake up from a dream, she looked where the sound came from, and there was a man standing in the corner, she smiled, and beckoned to him, and the man ran in the snow, stumbling to her side, and almost fell, and she quickly reached out and held him up.

When the third lady saw the visitor, she was very surprised and said, "Why are you here?" "The person who came was none other than Shu Kang.
