Also, Meng Tianchu thought for a while, and then asked: "Since this Wu Lai often goes to Hao Mansion to find his sister, do you know if Wu Lai has any good friends?" ”

"Yes, it's much better."

"The kind that spends all day drinking together."

"It's all like that."

Faint! Meng Tianchu's head was big: "The kind that is called a dead party." ”

"Huang Qi! I've heard that the two of them are together a lot. Cruise the flower boat, visit the kiln, and enter the casino. I have money to spend together, and I was deducted by others after losing the money, and I accompanied my grandmother to redeem them several times. ”

Huang Qi, Wu Lai is temporarily living in Huang Qi's house now, it seems that this Huang Qi knows a lot about Wu Lai, or this Huang Qi is the accomplice who injured Tan's head!

Wu Lai's motive for killing the Cao family has been investigated, but why he killed his mother is still clear, and now that Huang Qi, a major suspect, has also surfaced, Meng Tianchu decided to close the net and suddenly investigate the entire case.

Meng Tianchu stood up and said: "The information you said is very useful, if I catch the real murderer, I will fulfill my promise, don't worry." ”

Cuilian also stood up and said in a low voice: "Master's great kindness to Cuilian, Cuilian has nothing to repay in this life, I only hope that I can be a cow and a horse in the next life." ”

For this ruthless woman, Meng Tianchu didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only nod and turn around and leave the cell.

At this time, Wang Zhutou came with the catchers and brought back a small bag of hemostatic herbs that were searched from Wu Lai's house. Meng Tianchu did a frog sex test with powder, and the frog really had systemic rigidity, which proved that there was a highly toxic strychnine in the mushroom!

Meng Tianchu ordered the arrest of Wu Lai and Huang Qi.

Wang Zhutou swarmed out with the catchers, and half an hour later, the catchers only brought Huang Qi back to the yamen, but Wu Lai was nowhere to be seen.

During the interrogation of Huang Qi, he learned that Huang Qi's house had a secret passage and a house on the street outside, and Huang Qi's family education was very strict, and he secretly found someone to dig it in order to avoid the monitoring of his father. Wu Lai escaped through this secret passage.

Huang Qi did not admit to hitting Tan with a stone. insisted that he did not know about Wu Lai's killing. Wang Zhutou tortured to extract a confession and inquired about Wu Lai's possible whereabouts. In the end, Huang Qi was punished, and confessed that he might go to the West Lake Brothel Chunxiao Building to find a geisha named Birou.

When Meng Tianchu heard about the brothel, he frowned, the last time he solved the murder case of Governor Ke's son, he dealt with the brothel on the West Lake, and this time he was going to the brothel to investigate the case, and it seemed that he had done it with the brothel. He asked, "Who is this Birou?" ”

Huang Qi said: "It was a girl who was bought from Suzhou by Chunxiaolou two months ago, and she was only 16 years old, and I have only seen it once. When I saw her, she was very expensive, and she didn't sell her body. ”

"Oh! How much silver does it cost to see that girl named Birou? ”

"At least ten taels!"

No way. Ten taels, 10,000 yuan. It's expensive enough to just meet each other. It's just that this money is nothing to Meng Tianchu now. The master of ceremonies and the hot spring Wen's father-in-law continued to send a large amount of silver to Meng Tianchu, as well as the fees and dividends of various names of the Dongchang fans.

Meng Tianchu said with clever words that Cai Zhao, the old lady of the county, went with him, and used the case to contact his feelings, and brought Wang Zhutou and a few other arresters.

The bustard's eyes are always wise. She could see at a glance that the dignitaries were dignitary. When Meng Tianchu and the three of them appeared at the door of the Spring Festival Building, the old bustard recognized the old man of Cai Zhao County in this county at a glance. In this business, if you don't even know who the county magistrate is, it's over.

The old bustard twisted her fairly thin waist from afar, and walked over with a hip-hop sway, Meng Tianchu watched the powder on her face scattered everywhere in the writhing, looking as good as a goddess scattering flowers.

"Yo! What kind of wind invited our county lord? Come in, come in. Girls, the distinguished guests have come to the door, why don't you come out to greet them? ”

Meng Tianchu stepped forward, although Cai Zhao said that he was the head of a county, he rarely came to this kind of fireworks Willow Lane, and when the old bustard said this, he didn't know what to do.

"Who are you, our master? Did you just find some girls and send our master away? If that's the case, we'd better go somewhere else. After speaking, he gave Cai Zhao a color, pretending to leave.

The old bustard naturally didn't dare to offend the parents of the county, and when he saw that they were leaving, his face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to slap his mouth.

"Don't go, I'm damned. Am I damn not? You said, as long as you say a word, the girl here will only serve you alone today, okay? Which girl do you want? ”

Cai Zhao followed what Meng Tianchu had told him before, and slowly spit out two words: "Birou!" ”

The old bustard's face was embarrassed, but he immediately smiled again, Meng Tianchu knew that even if it was a big matter today, as long as this old bustard opened this Spring Festival Building in Renhe County one day, she couldn't offend this parent official.

"Okay, okay, okay!" After speaking, he hurriedly beckoned a turtle in front of the door, whispered a few words in his ear, and the turtle man entered the door.

"Please!" The old bustard made a gesture to Cai Zhao to invite in. Cai Zhao waved his sleeves and walked in front, Meng Tianchu and Wang Yi saw it and hurriedly followed.

In Meng Tianchu's opinion, all the Qinglou in the world are the same. The Chunxiao Building, although it is not as good as those high-end kilns in the capital, is also a tall podium-style building, all of which are made of high-quality nanmu. The ornate decoration is not inferior to that of the official family.

He thought he was meeting a few bustard sisters dressed in flowers, with a strong smell of fat powder, and the orchid fingers skillfully pinched the red silk to attract more prodigals.

The three of them walked into the main building, and the two carved vermilion lacquer staircases on the left and right were covered with bright red carpets, leading to a three-step platform in the center of the lobby. On the high platform, several Luo shirt beauties performed excellently, the piano is like flowing water, Zheng is like a quiet spring, the singing is sweet, and the dancing is graceful.

Under the high stage, dozens of round tables were full of guests who came to seek pleasure, and the black pressure was full. The anxious men flirted with the scantily clad girls beside them, and in addition to glancing at the beauties performing on the stage from time to time, they did not forget to pay attention to the entrances of the stairs on the left and right in front of them, looking forward to the appearance of the Oiran Birou girl.

Originally, Meng Tianchu only planned to take the opportunity to come to the Spring Festival Building to meet that Birou and close the case as quickly as possible. But after seeing this pomp, I couldn't help but be interested in this Oiran Birou girl.

The old bustard, who was dressed in thick clothes, led Meng Tianchu and the three of them into the living room, leaned his neck and pulled a big mouth of blood, and shouted loudly: "Chunluan Fengming, green Qi Xiuqi, there are distinguished guests coming, quickly lead the way for the three guests, go to the upper compartment on the second floor." ”

Hearing this call, Meng Tianchu couldn't help but chuckle out loud, what a wonderful flower name, the four famous pianos!

"Yes!" The four scantily clad girls came over with a smile like chasing flowers and fluttering butterflies, and they all rushed to surround the handsome Meng Tianchu, but they left Cai Zhixian in the cold.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly pointed at Cai Zhixian and said, "Girls, this is our boss." It's the object of your good life tonight. ”

For these Qinglou women, no matter what handsome they are, as long as they are rich, they don't know the old man of Zhixian, and when they heard that this old man with a rosacea nose is the boss, they all hugged and hugged Cai Zhixian.

Cai Zhao and Wang Yi also seemed to be different people at this time, hugging these "famous pianos" left and right, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, as soon as these two people entered this place, they forgot what they were here for, and they didn't want any Oiran Birou with their arms around the two girls. Meng Tianchu is not good to say directly, as long as he waits upstairs to talk about it.

The old bustard also followed him upstairs to the wing, with a smile on his face: "I have already called someone to call Miss Birou, and she will be there soon." ”

After a while, the old bustard led a woman in: "Three distinguished guests, this is Miss Birou." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly looked up, only to see that the woman's charming and delicate face was as beautiful as a peach. Very attractive, the hairpin is towering, revealing a snow-white and delicate neck, the tender skin is white and red, a crescent white dress, the graceful posture is fully revealed, the chest is like a vulture towering, the thin waist is full, and it is unbearable to hold.

A light and melodious sound of bells swayed with her lotus steps, sounding surprisingly wonderful and charming. Hao's wrist gently shook the silk fan, and the burst of fragrant fragrance brought out hit people, making people intoxicated.

I saw her slowly bowing over, Ying Ying said a blessing, her red lips opened lightly, and she whispered: "Birou has made the three masters wait for a long time." ”

Cai Zhixian and Wang Zhutou opened their mouths wide, staring intently at Birou, like hungry men who had been hungry for three days, staring at a steaming big white steamed bun, as if they wanted to eat it in one bite.

Meng Tianchu is not as piggy as them, although he is shocked by his beauty, but in terms of appearance alone, this Birou may not be better than his fake lady Xia Fengyi, but a little more charming and charming.

Birou said again: "The concubine is willing to play a song for the three masters to apologize." ”

Cai Zhixian and Wang Zhutou were still staring at Birou stupidly, as if they had been immobilized, and they didn't know how to move.

Birou seemed to be accustomed to this kind of look from men, sitting in front of the piano, Hao's wrist moved slightly, her fingers caressed, and the sound of the piano flowed slowly. At first, it is like a gurgling drip, and then it is like a quiet spring out of the mountain, the sound of the piano is high and cold like ice and snow, and the low back is full of sadness.

As soon as Miss Birou played, Meng Tianchu applauded, Cai Zhixian and Wang Zhutou relieved themselves and applauded hurriedly, but forgot to wipe the corners of their mouths.

Now that he has eased up, Cai Zhao can move his mouth to speak, and he is very fascinated by this Birou girl, so he took a peony from the vase on the table, handed it to Birou, and said with a charming smile: "Birou girl is really beautiful and fragrant, and her name is well deserved. ”

There was a faint smile floating on her delicate face, and Birou turned the peony and replied: "Thank you, Master Miao praised." ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "I heard that it is not easy to meet the girl, and today Meng Mou is fortunate to meet the girl, and he is really happy." ”

Birou gently gave Meng Tianchu a salute: "The son has won the award." ”

Meng Tianchu asked bluntly: "Miss Birou heard that she is very familiar with Wu Lai and Wu Gongzi?" ”

Birou still smiled: "Birou thanks everyone's love, when I first arrived in your place, I have always let everyone pity and love, everyone is willing to be friends with my Birou, and they also look up to me Birou." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled, okay, play diplomatic rhetoric for me, amazing! This little girl didn't leak a drop when she spoke, and she grabbed the question and didn't let go: "That girl means that you and Wu Gongzi are really familiar?" ”

Birou didn't speak, but walked around Meng Tianchu's side with a smile, came to Cai Zhao, and picked up a glass of osmanthus wine on the table that Cai Zhao had already drunk half, Cai Zhao thought that Birou was to honor herself. So he stretched out his hand, but he didn't expect that Birou drank it herself. When Cai Zhao saw it, he couldn't help but be even more overjoyed, and took the opportunity to touch Birou's slender waist with his hand, and Birou looked at Cai Zhao with the gentle dead eyes. sat down next to the county lord, and then looked at Meng Tianchu: "Yes, Wu Lai Wu Gongzi often comes to my Spring Festival Building to support my Birou, and he is also very generous, but what do I say is familiar, but I am not familiar, I Birou was born in Qinglou, naturally I am rich and a friend, Meng Gongzi, do you think what I said is right?" ”

Meng Tianchu only had two sentences, and he had already fully understood the woman in front of him, although she was young, she couldn't be underestimated.

"Can the girl have relatives in this Renhe County?"

Birou shook her head: "No." ”

Cai Zhao originally wanted to divert the topic, it was rare to drink with such a beauty, he naturally didn't want to waste time in Meng Tianchu's questioning, but he also found that this beauty spoke very tactfully, so that people couldn't find any mistakes. For the sake of the case and his black gauze hat, he had to listen and stop talking.

Meng Tianchu thought that this woman had probably heard some rumors, and her mouth was very tight, so she didn't say more, but changed the topic, and suggested that she play another song for everyone.

After drinking a glass of wine with everyone, Na Birou stood up and walked to the piano, when something suddenly floated down from her sleeve, Wang Yi was close to the thing, and when she picked it up, it turned out to be a small silk handkerchief with blue and gold edges. There are a few lines of Seiko letters written horizontally. At first glance, it was a very fragrant rhyming word: "The moon is full, and the flowers are just right." Hugging Lang's waist at first glance, it is a good night spring supper! Brocade is warm, smiling shyly, happy with you, turning clouds, kuí rain, flying red throwing! The concubine is a little jade, do you know! In the lower corner of the small silk handkerchief, there is a word "come".

Before Birou had time to snatch it back, the three men had already seen it, and Birou's face suddenly became gloomy.

Cai Zhao stepped forward, "Miss Birou's silk handkerchief is really meticulous, but I don't know what the word 'come' embroidered on this silk handkerchief means?" ”

Birou's face turned pale instantly, and she stood there without speaking.

Meng Tianchu smiled: "There are so many guests, I'm afraid it's just that this 'come' and the girl's friendship is not ordinary, right?" ”

Birou looked at Meng Tianchu and smiled: "Yes, we know each other very well, this is not against the laws of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

"Of course not! I just want to ask, you have an extraordinary relationship with that Wu Lai, and you naturally know where he is now, right? ”

"I said, the guest is my friend if he has money, he has no money to bring it, so I naturally don't recognize this friend, he hasn't come for a few days, I don't know."

"The girl really made me emotional."

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Birou sat beside the piano and asked puzzled.

Meng Tianchu sneered: "It is said that you Qinglou women only recognize money and not people, but when I saw you today, I found out that my previous understanding of you was wrong." ”

Birou didn't know what Meng Tianchu was going to say, so she didn't speak.

"You say that if you don't have money, you are not a friend, so how much is this silk handkerchief worth? Is it worth putting it by your side every day and being your personal thing? ”

Birou bit her red lip lightly and remained silent.

Meng Tianchu glanced at Cai Zhixian next to him, and pouted outside.

Cai Zhixian understood, sighed and said: "Our identity must have been said by the bustard just now, since the girl refuses to answer the master's question, it seems that you should go back to the yamen with us." ”

Na Birou was startled at first, then quickly stabilized her mood, slowly got up from the chair, and smiled softly at Cai Zhao: "Is it public or private for the master to take Birou back?" ”

When Cai Zhao heard this, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer. He looked at Meng Tianchu for help.

Meng Tianchu sneered: "Do you think that the master of the grip let you go back to tickle the old man?" To tell you the truth, Wu Lai is suspected of major homicide, and the grippers are chasing him, and someone proves that Wu came to this Spring Festival Building to find you, otherwise, how could we come to trouble you for no reason! Anyway, where is Wu Lai? ”
