Miao Rou saw Meng Tianchu staring at Miao Jue stunned, and said, "Brother Meng, do you have it today?" I know I shouldn't be so impatient, but I want to ask you anyway. ”

"There's no news yet, I'm here to see you. If there is any news, I will naturally tell you that you should rest well. I'll go first, and I'll let the jailer tell me anything. ”

Seeing that Meng Tianchu was leaving, Miao Rou hurriedly stopped him, and said with some hesitation: "Is my father okay?" He was alone in a room, with no one to take care of, and he didn't know if he was used to it. ”

Meng Tianchu comforted: "Don't worry, I just went to see him, he is fine, you take care of yourself and your brother, his body is better than any of you." ”

Miao Rou said: "That's just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, I used to hear my mother say that my father's health is not good, and he often asks my aunt to give him food." ”

Meng Tianchu was originally about to leave, but when he saw Miao Rou saying this, he stopped again and said: "That's really not obvious, I see that he is in good health on weekdays, and he often practices martial arts to strengthen his body." ”

Miao Rou said: "I think so, if my mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have believed it." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then what kind of disease does your father have?" I don't listen to you, I don't know yet, but if you tell me, I'll have someone go back and bring it to him. ”

"I don't know, my mother didn't let me ask my father and aunt, I still felt strange at the time, thinking what the disease was, and didn't let us know."

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay then." I'll ask your aunt, maybe she'll tell me, and I'll bring you a meal for your father." ”

Miao Rou said: "Don't ask the eldest mother, she won't tell you." ”

"Then why don't you let your father go back tomorrow and bring it yourself."

Miao Rou said: "Brother Meng, what do you mean. Are we going to stay here any longer? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "No, maybe you can go back tomorrow." ”

Miao Rou nodded, Meng Tianchu touched Miao Jue's head with his hand through the wooden pillar, and then left.

Miao Jue looked at Meng Tianchu's distant back and said to Miao Rou: "Brother Meng may have found the murderer. ”

Miao Rou was a little stunned, so she thought it was the child's idea, but she just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Early the next morning. Meng Tianchu came to the cell early, and he and Zhu Hao went straight to the third lady's room.

Before coming to the third lady's room, I didn't expect that she had already gotten up, dressed neatly, and deliberately put the hair scattered on her forehead neatly behind her head with water, looking very energetic, but the dark circles under her eyes could still make people see that she hadn't slept well, and she didn't even know if she had slept or not.

The third lady walked to the door and saluted Meng Tianchu with a smile.

Meng Tianchu also saluted: "Why did you get up so early?" ”

"Didn't Master get up early too? I guess the first one you looked for was me. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, and did not deny it.

The third lady said: "If you are looking for me, you will naturally have something to say to me." I'm listening. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "You are so smart, I came to you to ask, you and Miao Zhe have been together for five years, have you ever seen him eat it?" ”

The third lady shook her head and said, "Except for the normal headache and brain fever, it seems that I haven't seen him eat it." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then every time I am with you." Have you eaten it beforehand? ”

The third lady didn't expect Meng Tianchu to ask so bluntly, and her face turned a little red, but she still shook her head and said, "There shouldn't be, at least I haven't eaten it in front of me." Why, do you suspect that he is not in good health? I don't think so, if it really doesn't work, he won't marry one after another. ”

The third lady is such a smart person. Meng Tianchu only needed to ask one question, and she naturally guessed the purpose of his question.

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, I'll tell you, we found a lot of treatment for men in the eldest lady's room." You've studied medicine, so I don't need to explain why I'm asking. ”

The third lady realized: "No wonder." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What's the wonder? ”

The third lady said: "The eldest lady never let us look at the big cabinet in her house, which is locked on weekdays. I always thought it was some kind of gold and silver treasure, but it was..."

Meng Tianchu said: "Some people have already admitted that the murderer is her." ”

The third lady was not surprised at all, glanced at Meng Tianchu meaningfully, snorted, and said disdainfully: "I knew that there would be such a play." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "According to what you say, do you know who it is?" ”

Three husbands

, waved the sweat towel in his hand in front of Meng Tianchu's eyes, and said, "You really know that you are here." If she insists on confessing her guilt, it depends on what evidence you come up with to make the real culprit confess. And you know the so-called evidence, in addition to circumstantial evidence and confessions, you can't come up with stronger evidence for the time being, right? Then you should go to the fourth lady. ”

Meng Tianchu understood a little, smiled and nodded in thanks, turned around and walked towards the fourth lady's room, the third lady looked at Meng Tianchu's distant back, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Meng Tianchu came to the fourth lady's room and saw that Murong Yuxue was already here. I think it was because I ate it just now, and the fourth lady's complexion was actually better than all the day, and it seems that Zuo Jiayin's opening still has an effect.

Meng Tianchu came to the bedside of the fourth lady, found a nearby chair and sat down, and the fourth lady could already lie down and talk.

Meng Tianchu said: "I didn't want to disturb you, but this question has to be asked to you." ”

The fourth lady nodded and said, "Master Meng is polite, Jiayin is my sister, you are naturally not an outsider, just ask if you have anything to ask." ”

Meng Tianchu asked, "Do you remember the day you gave your mother back to pay homage to her birthday?" ”

The fourth lady said: "But only a few days have passed, so I naturally remember." ”

"Then do you remember if your master was with you all the time that night?"

The fourth lady immediately replied, "No! Because my health has not been good, although the road to my mother's house is not far, less than an hour, but I still can't bear the bumps on the road, after I went back, I just saw my father and mother, and I have been resting in the room, and he has been accompanying the guests in the vestibule. ”

—

"Do you remember when he returned to his room?"

"There were a lot of guests at home that night, and he came here once, saying that a lot of people pulled him to drink and told me to sleep first, and I asked him to drink less. As for when I went back, I don't remember, but he gave me a meal, and then I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already dawn, and he was already practicing his sword in the yard. ”

"Do you remember what time he went to see you in his room?"

The fourth lady thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I just knocked on a watch." ”

Meng Tianchu calculated the time, he should be able to rush back to the Miao family to kill people, so he asked the fourth lady again, and the fourth lady nodded affirmatively.

In this way, according to Miao Zhe's skills, without a carriage, it is no problem to rush back to the fourth lady's mother's house before dawn for four hours, and he probably gave the fourth lady something like psychedelic herbs, so that she could sleep until dawn. So no one knew if he had left, or when he had returned to the fourth lady's room.

Meng Tianchu stood up and said to the fourth lady: "You have a good rest, your complexion is much better today." ”

The fourth lady nodded and said, "I have also figured it out, no matter what happens, I have to live well, the more people want me to die, the more I have to live a good life for them." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded with satisfaction, tilted his head towards Murong Yuxue, and then went out. Murong Zhenxue followed and walked out.

Meng Tianchu turned to her and said: "This case is already very clear, the sensitivity of the old man Miao Zhemiao hurt him, he always thought that he didn't have that ability, so he suspected that the child was not his, but he didn't expect that he actually killed his own son." Although I know this, there are some things that make me hesitate and don't know what to do. ”

"Are you afraid that some people will not be able to stand it if they know the truth of the matter?" Murong Yuxue sighed, looked at the fourth lady's room, and said, "And Xue'er, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded heavily: "One step at a time, sometimes the truth of the matter is really cruel." ”

Meng Tianchu instructed Wang Yi to go to the fourth lady's maiden house and ask about the situation that day, to see if he could find a witness to Miao Zhe's time before dawn. After hearing this, Wang Yi hurried away.

Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao came to Miao Zhe's room, Miao Zhe seemed to be in a bad spirit, sitting in front of the bed, looking very depressed.

When he saw Meng Tianchu, he thought he was here to let himself out, so he hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes full of anticipation.

Meng Tianchu said coldly: "You lied to me last night. ”

Miao Zhe didn't expect that Meng Tianchu's first sentence when he saw him was actually saying this, he was a little caught off guard, and his tongue seemed to be hard, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
