Tian Chu said: "The pillar has been very close to Honggu recently? ”

Honggu was praised by Meng Tianchu and said, "He has been with me for the past few days, and he stayed for two nights and went back. ”

Meng Tianchu deliberately said: "What time is it today?" I don't have a good memory. ”

Honggu immediately said: "Today is the ninth day of the fifth month, and I still remember that the pillar came to me on the sixth day of the first month, and he returned home yesterday. ”

Meng Tianchu calculated the time, Yulan should have been killed on the night of the fifth day of the first month, and the body was found on the sixth day of the first month, they were in Yulan Village on the eighth day of the first month, that is, yesterday, and Honggu said that the pillar was where she went on the sixth day of the first month, so where did the fifth pillar go?

Meng Tianchu said: "No, the pillar said that he went to you on the fifth day of the first month, is Honggu mistaken." ”

Honggu said with certainty: "Yes, I came early in the morning on the sixth day of the new year, and we haven't gotten up yet, because that day happened to be the day when I gave money to the girls." After speaking, Honggu found out that she was speechless, and quickly smiled awkwardly at Meng Tianchu and stopped talking.

Meng Tianchu pretended not to understand, so he said: "Yes, that's good, wait for the next time I invite Honggu to drink, now I don't bother Honggu to buy things if I have something, and I will say goodbye." ”

Honggu saw that Meng Tianchu was leaving, and hurriedly said: "If the son goes to sit with me, I'm not busy, not busy at all." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't look back, threw a sentence, and said, "No, let's change the day." ”

Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao returned to the alley, but saw Wang Yi sitting on the ground alone, with blood still flowing on his head, Meng Tianchu hurriedly stepped forward to look. The wound wasn't big, it looked like it had been hit with a stick or something.

Meng Tianchu said: "The pillar is dry? ”

Wang Yi nodded, Zhu Hao helped Wang Yi up, Wang Yi touched his head and said in annoyance: "It's really a shame today, when the head catcher has been for so many years, he actually let a pig killer be beaten." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "How could he beat you like this? ”

Wang Yi said: "After you left, he said that he had been hungry all night in the prison and wanted to eat something. Blame me for having a heart of pity. I happened to see a man carrying a burden of bean blossom passing by. So I asked him to stop and asked the pillar for two bowls of bean curd, and the man who picked the bean curd put down the burden, and the pillar squatted down in front of the burden and watched the man scoop the bean curd for him, and I saw that he seemed to be really hungry, so I didn't care, and turned to see you. Who would think..., I was knocked unconscious by him at the time, and I was the only one when I woke up. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "He should have attacked you with the flat shoulder of the person who carried the burden, but fortunately, it was not very powerful." ”

Wang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "It's really hateful to see how I grabbed him and cleaned him up." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Look at the wound, with the strength of the pillar, he only uses three points, or he will bear this flat shoulder." Where is you Wang Yi? ”

Wang Yi said: "What now? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "This pillar can't be underestimated. He lied to us, and he didn't spend the night at the prostitute the night Magnolia died. Instead, I went to the ground early the next morning. ”

Wang Yi said: "Then he doesn't know where he has gone now, how can we find it?" Why don't you report it to go to the sea to catch it? ”

"It's too late." Meng Tianchu said: "I think this kid is very filial, even if he wants to abscond, he will bring a letter to the old lady at home, or take the risk of going back in person, we are still guarding near that village, he should not be able to bear to go back." ”

Wang Yi touched his head that was still bleeding and said, "That's good! ”

Wang Yi returned to the yamen and arranged for a few people to go to Yulan Village to secretly ambush, and then according to Meng Tianchu's arrangement, he asked someone to secretly follow Honggu, maybe Zhuzi would also contact this woman.

Meng Tianchu was idle, so he returned home to play chess with Zuo Jiayin, the two of them set up a chess game under the gazebo, and were about to kill a big fight, when they saw Wen Rou walking hurriedly under the gazebo alone, Meng Tianchu remembered the conversation between her and the maid last night, and there was a trace of pity in her heart, so she said: "Why did you see me and leave without saying hello to me?" ”

Only then did Gentle stop, said a blessing to Meng Tianchu, and said, "Gentle didn't see her husband and the third grandmother, isn't it gentle." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Jiayin and I are about to play chess, how is your chess skills?" ”

Wen Rou was a little surprised, he didn't expect Meng Tianchu to say this to himself, after being surprised, he immediately smiled, and ran into the pavilion happily, Zuo Jiayin hurriedly gave up his seat to Wen Wen, Wen Rou was not polite, sat down, Zuo Jiayin smiled and sat next to Meng Tianchu.

Gentle said: "When I was three years old, my father hired a master to teach me a special lesson, and my husband is not afraid of losing to Gentle?" ”

Meng Tianchu laughed out loud and said, "Let's talk about the last game first, but let me say it first, if you lose, you have to go to the cyclamen house to set up a table, and you have to invite everyone." ”

It is rare for Gentleness to see Meng Tianchu say a few more words to herself, so she is naturally happy, and besides, a treat is also trivial to Gentle, as long as Meng Tianchu takes care of her, she can do anything.

Said gently: "No problem, isn't it just a treat?" I don't know who invited whom. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, then let's start." ”

Gently nodded happily, and said to Zuo Jiayin: "Sannulin, you go and wash some peaches for me, and get some snacks." ”

Zuo Jiayin nodded, got up and was about to get it, but Meng Tianchu was unhappy. Wen Rouzheng played the first chess move, and found that Meng Tianchu had not fallen for a long time, looked up at Meng Tianchu's face, and immediately knew that he had done something wrong again, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I said I'm used to it, I forgot that the third grandmother is already a person who is about to give birth, look at me It's really bad, I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself." ”

She didn't want such a good opportunity to let Meng Tianchu drive herself aside to cool down, and after finishing speaking, she got up, like a rabbit, she ran away without a shadow, and Zuo Jiayin didn't have time to stop it.

Meng Tianchu motioned for Zuo Jiayin to sit down. Zuo Jiayin said: "She is big and I am small, this is nothing." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I just want to change her domineering young lady's temper, you and Feng Yi are both beautiful girls, not inferior to her, why haven't you seen Feng Yi treat you like this." I haven't seen you do this to Feiyan? I don't believe I can't change her. ”

Zuo Jiayin said with a smile: "She is already much better, you have to give her a little."

Meng Tianchu said: "Don't say good things for her, last night I heard her say to the maid in her room that she was secretly passing a book to the flying pigeons at home, and you also paid attention to me, when we beat down her flying pigeons, and see what bad things she said about me to the family." ”

As he spoke, Gentleness ran over. There were actually three subordinates behind him. Each person has a tray in their hands.

Meng Tianchu said: "Look at it." She still won't serve it herself, it's really frustrating. ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled secretly.

Gentle ran to the pavilion and said: "I asked the kitchen to sit for the three of us to eat something, made a bowl of your favorite dragon hand, made a brown sugar egg for Jiayin, I heard that it is very nutritious, and made a bowl of lotus seed lotus root powder for myself." ”

Zuo Jiayin hurriedly said thank you.

Meng Tianchu said: "Then what are these three subordinates on their hands?" ”

Gentle smiled and said, "You don't know, I've been able to eat so much lately." I asked them to bring us some fruit and ready-made snacks, and I asked the cook to give us some more chicken feet and pig's trotters or something. I'm afraid that there will be less preparation, and I have already eaten before you have eaten, hehehehe. ”

Meng Tianchu looked gentle and happy, and couldn't help but say: "You can think of making some land for Jiayin when you eat the land today, in fact, I should praise you." ”

Listen gently. Blushing and embarrassed.

Meng Tianchu said: "But it's not just the three of us in the family. What about the others? How do you think of it? ”

When Wen Wen heard this, he immediately stuck out his tongue and hurriedly stopped the subordinates who put down their things and were about to leave. said: "You go and talk to the cook, and say that you remember to cook something for the eldest lady and the fourth grandmother that they like to eat." ”

After speaking, he sat down gently and said, "Husband, let's start." ”

An hour later, the pavilion was already full of people, and everyone held their breath and quietly watched Meng Tianchu and Gentle in this battle without gunpowder.

I saw that the gentle table was already full of garbage, and there were at least a dozen fruit cores, and she was still thinking about eating a big peach in her hand.

Meng Tianchu said with a bitter face: "Miss Gentle, you have thought about this move, how long do you have to think about it?" ”

Gently chewing something in his mouth, he said vaguely: "Don't rush me, this is a key move, of course you have to think about it." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I'll just go back to the room and sleep, you think slowly." After saying that, he pretended to get up.

Gentle immediately tugged at his sleeve: "Don't go, I've already figured it out." Then he made a move.

The people next to him couldn't help but "sigh", Meng Tianchu looked at it, and immediately laughed: "Hahahaha, gentle, hurry up, it's time to call the next person to go to the cyclamen residence to set a place, remember that I want to eat the freshest West Lake vinegar fish." "Snapped.

Gentleness suddenly turned pale when she saw it, and she had no way out, so she had to abandon her son and admit defeat.

Although she was depressed after losing, she was not sad when she saw Meng Tianchu so happy, and said generously: "Please please, there is nothing remarkable." Then he called a maid to give a few words, and the maid went away happily.

Gently said to the underground people and the maid on the side: "You don't have to keep vigil and be on duty at home tonight, let's go together, the second lady, if I want to invite today, I will invite together, lest your young master say that I am stingy." ”

Everyone jumped for joy when they heard this.

After saying it gently, he happily said that he wanted to go back to his room to take a shower and change clothes, and then took his maid away.

Zuo Jiayin, Xia Fengyi, and Feiyan accompanied Meng Tianchu to sit in the pavilion.

Feiyan said: "Actually, the second lady is very good. ”

Xia Fengyi said: "Yes, it's really much better than before, although I still don't talk to us much recently, but there is no prank anymore." ”

Zuo Jiayin just nodded and didn't speak.

Meng Tianchu said: "She is that young lady has a really bad temper, selfish, stingy, too vindictive, and sensitive, the most hateful thing is that she is too vicious, the last thing a person should do is to want to put people to death everywhere, which is the worst." ”

Zuo Jiayin said: "Doesn't the young master often say that change is always good?" Who doesn't have shortcomings? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I don't think there are three of you. ”

The three of them all laughed when they saw Meng Tianchu say this.

Following

Meng Tianchu and his entourage came to Yulan Village, and when they walked to the entrance of the village, they saw Lin Ruofan holding a three-year-old child in his arms playing at the entrance of the village.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward, Lin Ruofan was happily teasing the child, Meng Tianchu came over, the smile on his face had not faded, and he hurriedly said a blessing to Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu saw Lin Ruofan's happy look, so he said, "Is this your second lady's child Rui'er?" ”

Lin Ruofan nodded, and then said to Rui'er: "Rui'er, it's called Meng Ye." ”

Rui'er screamed in a milky voice: "Master Meng." ”

Meng Tianchu was happy and said, "How can you take the child to the entrance of the village to play?" ”

Lin Ruofan said: "The patriarch went out with the village chief early in the morning, and Rui'er missed her father, so she must ask me to come to the village entrance to wait for his father." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Where did the patriarch and the village chief go so early?" ”

Lin Ruofan said: "It was said that it was for Yulan, and it was said that it was to set up a chaste archway for Yulan before, but I didn't expect someone in the village to oppose it, so I secretly wrote a letter to the official above, and someone from above checked it and asked them to go to the county seat to explain the situation." ”

Lin Ruofan asked Meng Tianchu again: "I heard that the pillar ran away, did he kill Yulan?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "How do you know that the pillar has run away?" ”

Lin Ruofan said: "Everyone in the village knows it, I heard from the eldest young master in the family last night, saying that it was the pillar that killed Yulan and ran away." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Big young master? Which big young master? ”

Lin Ruofan said: "It's the eldest lady's father-in-law who is in the patriarch's family, Meng Ye, you should have seen it." ”
