Chapter 571: Hongqiao Inn
Li Xin: "Forget it, fortunately, it's still too late, hurry up and prepare the carriage, let's go out." \\\”
Li Chu: "Second Young Master, you mean that you are going to see Miss Ainu at this time, you forgot, Mother Zhang said, if you let the clansmen see you entering and leaving the Red Mansion today, there will definitely be gossip to your godfather's ears, and when the time comes..."
Li Xin said with a smile: "Where is there such a stupidity as you, Ainu, she naturally knows the powerful relationship, so she didn't let me go to the Red Mansion, but went to the Hongqiao Inn to see it, go quickly, I'm afraid that Ainu can't wait for me." ”
Li: "Okay, the slave hurry up and prepare the carriage, you wait for the slave at the door." ”
Li Xin nodded happily, and Li Chu hurriedly went to prepare the carriage.
The carriage galloped all the way, and soon came to an inn called Hongqiao in the south of the city, this place is not much, but it is very clean, Li Xin came once before, that time Li Xin was drunk, and was brought here, he himself does not remember.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn, Li Xin couldn't wait to jump out of the car, suddenly it was dark in front of him, he hurriedly held on to the carriage's shelf, Li Chu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second young master, are you too tired?" If you don't tell the slave girl, you might as well go back and rest. ”
Li Xin pushed Li away and said, "Ainu is still waiting for me, and besides, I've already arrived at the door, where is the reason not to go?" ”
Seeing that Li Xin insisted, Li Chu took out a gourd-like vial from his arms, handed it to Li Xin, and said, "Then why don't you drink some refreshing rose honey from the second young master?" ”
After Li Xin took it, he opened the cork and smelled it, and sure enough, a sweet rose smell came to his nose, Li Xin said with a smile: "You are still careful, I know that I like this thing." ”
Li Chu smiled and said, "This is what a slave should do." ”
Li took a big sip, then exchanged the bottle to Li Chu, and then said, "Okay." You go back first, you're tired today, I'll go back by myself tomorrow. ”
Li Chu: "Second young master, I'm still waiting for you in the car, and if you have anything, you can tell the minions." ”
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then it's hard for you." ”
Li Chu smiled and said, "Second Young Master, go quickly, Miss Ainu is still waiting for you above." ”
Li took three steps and ran in two steps to a room at the east end of the upstairs. With a slight push, the door opened, and Li smelled the unique fragrance of Ainu, he took a deep breath, and then walked in the door. The door was shut.
Three hours later.
Li Xin woke up, he felt a little headache, probably the night before, he drank some wine before sleeping, and said that he was sleeping, thinking about it, in fact, he only slept for less than an hour. He was awakened by a noise, he didn't want to open his eyes, because he was so tired, but he couldn't help laughing at the thought that he could stay with Ainu for one night, and then he thought about it, and the two of them were so fond of love and obsession the night before. "Baby."
Li Xin called out softly. He liked to call her that, and when no one answered, he reached out and touched it, only to find that there was an empty ground next to him. \\\\ He quickly opened his eyes and looked, and found that there was no one in the room, and there was nothing under the bed except for his own clothes.
Li Xin called again, but no one answered, Li Xin had to get up and get out of bed, walked to the door and opened the door to take a look, how did he find that it was his own yard. It was quite unexpected. Thinking about it for a moment, the night before, he pinched his thigh hard. couldn't help but sigh, it didn't seem to be a dream, but how could he be in his own house, but he slept in a bed that was not his own, Li Xin couldn't figure it out, and when he saw a maid passing in front of him, he quickly stopped.
"Where's the butler?"
"Second young master, the housekeeper is walking in the yard with the second master."
"My godfather?"
"Yes."
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "You go and tell the housekeeper, just say that there is a guest coming, let him come to me for an excuse, I have something urgent to find him, but I can't let my godfather know, do you know?" ”
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Li Xin saw that the maid was gone, so he still retreated to the guest room, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, and after a while, he saw Li coming.
Li Xin hurriedly got up and stepped forward, and said, "Li, why am I in my guest room?" Li Chu smiled and closed the door first, and said, "Second Young Master, are you awake?" ”
Li Xin: "What do I ask you?" ”
Li Chu was not in a hurry, and said, "Second Young Master, don't be in a hurry first, listen to the slave and tell you slowly." ”
Li Xin: "Say it quickly, say it quickly." ”
Li Chu: "I saw you go upstairs, I have been waiting, and then I fell asleep unconsciously, about dawn, the innkeeper woke me up, saying that the Ainu girl was going back, let me bring you back, that's it." ”
Li Xin: "Li Chu, you can't lie to me, then you take me back, why don't you take me to my own room, what do you do with me in the guest room?" ”
Li Chu: "Second young master, where do the minions dare to lie to you?" At that time, I was going to take you back to my room, but who would have thought that when I was about to walk to the door of your room, I suddenly saw the second master come out of his room, and I was worried that he would be unhappy to know that you didn't return at night on that day like yesterday, so I turned around and carried you into the guest room. ”
Li Xin: "Oh, but why didn't you wake me up?" ”
Li Chu: "It's the Ainu girl who won't let me call you, saying that you sleep very soundly, or let you sleep, I see that you are also sleeping so soundly, so I can't bear to call you." ”
Li Xin: "Then did my godfather look for me?" ”
Li Chu: "Don't worry, I said that you went to the grave early in the morning, and the second master didn't ask anything more." ”
Li Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Chu, you are still thoughtful, thanks to you." ”
Li Chu smiled and said, "Second Young Master doesn't have to be polite. ”
Li Xin: "By the way, did my godfather say what arrangements are there today?" ”
Li: "It seems to say that I went to incense." ”
Li Xin: "Then I'm going to freshen up quickly, I'll come right away, you go and accompany my godfather first." ”
Li agreed and stepped back.
Meng Tianchu took the six ladies and Lin Ruofan and Xiaowei to Feiyan's yard to see the children, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Feiyan's body has recovered a lot. I was also a little fatter, but I still couldn't get out of my room, and I was naturally very happy to see everyone come to see me, and I brought a lot of good food and drink.
The two nurses Lin Ruofan found also made Feiyan and the other ladies very satisfied, and they all praised Lin Ruofan's ability to do things.
When Meng Tianchu and the others went, the two children had just fallen asleep after breastfeeding, and the two nurses took the children away to sleep, leaving them to speak by themselves.
Xia Fengyi: "Tianchu, is there any progress in the case?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "That's it." Take your time. ”
Feiyan smiled and said, "When did you change sex?" Wasn't that the case before? ”
Jian Ning: "He is in a hurry, but it is useless to be anxious, and now the two important things have not been found." ”
Xiaowei: "Sometimes you might as well jump out of this *** to see?" ”
Xiaonuo: "Sister, what about the case, what are you talking about?" ”
Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Xiao Wei said yes. But sometimes people are so complacent that they can't see things for what they are. ”
Zuo Jiayin: "Maybe on the day of the crime, someone from the underground family or the maid found something abnormal and didn't dare to say it?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "There was a maid who was very suspicious, but the day after the crime, she used poison to dumb herself. ”
Xiaowei: "Can't you say, can't you write yet?" ”
Xiao Nuo said disdainfully: "Sister, have you seen how many maids and subordinates can write?" ”
Meng Tianchu suddenly had an idea and said, "But Xiao Wei reminded me that even if she can't write or speak." But she must have seen the murderer, and I think if she had seen the murderer, then if she had seen the murderer again, she would have reacted, you say? ”
Gentleness: "Tianchu, what I said is, something like this." In order not to startle the snake, people can secretly monitor this maid's every move. ”
Meng Tianchu: "Not only that, but I probably have to monitor the actions of this maid's family." ”
Feiyan: "And why?" ”
Zuo Jiayin: "I think Tianchudi means that he is worried that this murderer is trying to seal the mouth of the maid." It will give some benefits to this family, since it is a benefit, it is nothing more than money and food and other things, in this way, we should be able to know who has sent these things to this maid's family recently. ”
Meng Tianchu looked at Zuo Jiayin approvingly, and Xiao Nuo said, "Sister Jiayin is still smart." ”
Meng Tianchu: "But if this murderer is really such a temperamental person, he is not very cruel." ”
Xiao Wei snorted and laughed, and said, "You laughed at me to death, aren't you cruel?" Four died at once. And there are old people and children. ”
Xiaonuo: "Sister." What do you know, Tian Chu said the earth. There are no real good people, and there are no completely bad people, Tian Chu said this, I think he has his own reason. ”
Jian Ning: "This murderer is probably not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, he should be very targeted, or there are no unrelated people in the house, but these masters have suffered?" ”
Jian Ning's words reminded Meng Tianchu, and Meng Tianchu said: "Not every master has suffered, and there is one that has survived. ”
Wen Rou hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it, if that person hadn't gone to the Qinglou that night, it would probably have been miserable." ”
Zuo Jiayin smiled, looked at Meng Tianchu, and said, "I don't think this person necessarily went to the Red Mansion by chance. ”
Meng Tianchu: "If it is really premeditated, then it is not without motives, and why didn't his brother go to the Red Mansion that day, in fact, I think this Li Xin is also suspicious, first, he spent a lot of money for the red face, but he was just a concubine, the woman he loved in the past was also a Qinglou woman, in a sense, it is even inferior to this Ainu, at least Ainu was still innocent before he met him, and his daughter body was also given to him." But why is it just like this, he just gave Ainu the title of a concubine? ”
Xia Fengyi thought for a while and said, "I think this person named Li Xin is just trying to gamble with his brother." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Feng Yi said it very well, I think so too." ”
Gentleness: "In this way, this Li Xin is also a suspicious object." ”
Xiaowei: "By the way, didn't you say that someone was suspected of being locked up all the time?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "On the night of the crime, that is, the hour when the victim was killed, he didn't have time to be absent from the venue for evidence, and he couldn't say what he did at that time, he just said that he didn't go anywhere, and he walked to the city gate to meet his family. ”
Murong Zhenxue: "Then why don't you let a family member accompany you?" It's the middle of the night, believe it? ”
Meng Tianchu: "So, he has been locked up." ”
Xia Fengyi: "That's strange, according to the set of rules of the Yamen case, if he really did something, it is impossible for him to insist on gritting his teeth and not letting go now!" ”
Jian Ning: "The most important thing is that such a son-in-law has not suffered much since he was a child, so naturally he can't afford some punishments." ”
Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "I haven't tortured him yet." ”
Xiao Wei said disdainfully: "No wonder I don't say it." ”
Meng Tianchu: "But some people eat soft and not hard. At this time, Tu Long called the door outside the door, Murong Yuxue opened the door, and Tu Long said with a smile: "Is it a meeting?" How many ladies have arrived? ”
Xiao Nuo said: "No, Su Su and Ruofan haven't come yet." ”
