There are usually no guests at noon, so the old bustard is sitting on a chaise longue by the flower boat and napping at the moment, and a turtle boy behind her holds a big umbrella to cover her sun. A little maid was fanning her fan on the side, and when she saw that a guest was coming, she hurriedly woke up the bustard softly.

The old bustard opened his sleepy eyes, after all, he was engaged in this business, he recognized Meng Tianchu at a glance, and hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Oh, my Meng Ye, you haven't been here with us for a long time!" Did you take care of it last time? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "You can talk, I just came here two days ago, how can it be a long time." ”

"Ouch~! I don't see you for a day, like every three autumns! Besides, Meng Ye is such a handsome boy, the girls don't beg for you to come early! ”

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to the silver in the contemptible pocket." Meng Tianchu shook the folding fan, strolled past the pedals, got on the bow of the boat, and Feiyan helped Xia Fengyi to follow on the boat.

This time, Feiyan and Xia Fengyi were both dressed in women's clothes, and the old bustard recognized that they were the two girls who came with Meng Tianchu in disguise as men last time, and they were about to praise a few words, when Meng Tianchu waved his hand: "Okay!" Don't talk nonsense, find a private room, and call the ripples again, I have something to ask you. ”

"Oh Meng Ye, this is really unfortunate." The old bustard clapped his hands and sighed, "Ripple is not feeling well, and he is lying down." ”

Meng Tianchu was too lazy to talk nonsense, and took out a small piece of broken silver, about five or six dollars, and threw it to the old bustard.

The old bustard immediately changed his smiling face: "Since it is Meng Ye who greets her, even if she still has a breath, she will climb to see Meng Ye you." I'm going to call her. "Say it. first led Meng Tianchu and them to a private room, settled down, ordered snacks and fruits, and then left with a smile.

After a while, the old bustard entered the door with ripples, ripples held a pipa in his hand, and when he saw Meng Tianchu, his face showed a hint of joy.

After Ripple sat down, he lightly opened his lips and asked softly with a shy smile, "Master Meng." What song do you want to listen to today? ”

"Don't be busy, there are some things I want to ask you."

Ripples heard. Hurriedly put the pipa in his hand on the stool: "Meng Ye has something to ask." ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at the old bustard, and then at the ripples. asked: "Last time I asked you if Ke Chou had ever come to your flower boat, you two didn't tell the truth. ”

The smile on the old bustard's face froze for a moment, and then he said, "How come? We're telling the truth. ”

"Did you say that? Hehe," Meng Tianchu sneered, "Let me ask you, when it was dark, did Ke Chou Ke Gongzi ever come?" ”

The bustard's face changed again. Qiang smiled: "No... Haven't been..."

"Really?" Meng Tianchu squinted his eyes and found that Ripple lowered his head, but the expression on his face seemed to have something to say, but this old bustard didn't dare to say it on the side.

Meng Tianchu snorted, stared at the old bustard, and said slowly: "Someone proves it." When it was dark, Gongzi Ke once came to your Moon Flower Boat, do you still want to deny it? ”

The smile on the bustard's face slowly faded. smiled coldly: "I didn't think something was right last time, but now it seems that Meng Ye is not here to find a girl, but to find a girl." Then you're in the wrong place. Now it's up to you to fuck yourselves or we're going to throw you out. ”

As soon as the words fell, two big men came in from outside the door, both strong men with big shoulders and round waists and a head higher than others, holding their shoulders and looking at Meng Tianchu coldly.

Seeing this scene, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they hugged each other and trembled. Ripple stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, please let Meng Ye go..."

The bustard slapped the ripples and threw them backwards, falling heavily on the stool behind him, knocking off the lute on the stool.

Meng Tianchu was also so frightened that the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground, stood up with an embarrassed expression, and arched his hand: "Misunderstanding, hehe, this is a misunderstanding, let's go, let's go immediately." Ignoring Xia Fengyi and Feiyan, who were trembling together behind them, he walked out the door with his head down.

A big man sneered: "I really don't know whether to live or die... Ouch~! With a scream, the big man squatted down with his crotch, it turned out that he had been hit by Meng Tianchu with a heavy knee in the crotch, the big man next to him was very surprised, he couldn't believe that Meng Tianchu would suddenly attack them, before he could react, the shin of his calf had already been kicked hard by Meng Tianchu, and the severe pain made him lean down, and then, there was a sharp pain in the left side of his neck, and he had been slapped hard by Meng Tianchu.

There is a vagus plexus on the side of the neck, where a blunt force blow can irritate the heart, leading to shock coma and, in severe cases, even death due to reflex arrest.

Therefore, Meng Tianchu's palm only used seventy percent of his strength, and because the part of the split was very accurate, the big man only snorted coldly and collapsed to the ground and passed out.

The other big man had only recovered a little from the severe pain at this time, and was raising his head, Meng Tianchu didn't move, he couldn't do it, and he hit the big man the chin with a left hook.

This punch was very heavy, the big man's brain was violently concussed, and on the way out, he was already in a semi-comatose state, Meng Tianchu grabbed the front and hit the big man's heart.

The big man snorted and threw out of the door, broke the guardrail, fell off the boat head-on, fell into the lake with a thud, and sank after a few bubbles. Several boatmen shouted and hurriedly jumped in to save people.

Slowly, move your hands, this is just a matter of a moment, the old bustard has not reacted, and the two big men have already laid down.

Although these two big men are tall and strong, they have some brute strength, but they have not practiced any kung fu, Meng Tianchu has loved sports since he was a child, and he has been practicing grappling and fighting hard since he was admitted to the Criminal Police Academy, and he has been practicing grappling and fighting all year round.

The old bustard screamed, and was about to run out of the door, Meng Tianchu lightly stretched his ape arm, grabbed her hair, and sneered: "We haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?" ”

The bustard's hands flutter in the air. Yelling. Outside the door, several turtle men were about to rush over with iron rods, and Meng Tianchu pulled a hairpin from the old bustard's hair and put it on the old bustard's neck.

The old bustard suddenly looked like a duck choked by the neck, and his shouting stopped abruptly. The turtle men also hurriedly stood on their feet, not daring to step forward again.

Meng Tianchu said coldly: "Listen, I am the famous criminal master of the Yamen of Renhe County, entrusted by Lord Ke Ganke, the prefect of Hangzhou, and I am investigating the case of Ke Gongzi's poisoning and murder, and the old bustard is suspected of a major crime, and I will arrest her." Those who dare to resist are attacking the police... This is against the government! （***。 Modern society is used to this sentence, and it can't be changed for a while). According to the Great Ming Law. Resisting arrest, killing without mercy! ”

This sentence made several turtle males jump, and they looked at each other, and they had the intention to throw away the iron rod, but they were afraid of being punished. I was at a loss for a moment.

The old bustard's neck was pressed against the neck by a sharp silver hairpin, and he had the heart to speak, but he didn't dare to make a sound. I was afraid that Meng Tianchu would be angry and stab a hairpin into his neck.

An older turtle man dared to threaten: "This flower boat... But let's Hangzhou... The big Lin shopkeeper..., the Lin shopkeeper has a very good relationship with the prefect... I advise you to let your mother go quickly, let's go, we are not to blame for the past...! ”

Meng Tianchu laughed when he heard this, and shook his hand and threw the old bustard to the ground. stepped on the old bustard's old face, and the silver hairpin in his hand was checked: "Okay, go and report to your shopkeeper Lin." Tell him, just say that Meng Tianchu, the famous master of Renhe County, is making trouble on his flower boat, and tell him to come immediately, if it's too late, I will burn his flower boat with a fire! Just go! ”

When the turtle prince heard Meng Tianchu's words, he didn't know what he meant, but he also realized that there was something in his words, if he didn't have a grudge with the shopkeeper Lin and deliberately came to seek revenge, or he had an old relationship, so he hurriedly sent someone to ride a horse and gallop forward to report.

Just now, Meng Tianchu pretended to be a bear and wanted to slip away, making Xia Fengyi and Feiyan tremble with anger, but he didn't expect Meng Tianchu to be a greedy person who was afraid of death, and he was about to run away without even caring about his own woman, and when he was angry and afraid, Meng Tianchu suddenly became difficult, knocked the two big men unconscious, and took the bustard hostage, only then did he know that he was wrongly blamed again, just now he pretended to be a bear in order to paralyze the other party. I also heard that this flower boat turned out to be the shopkeeper Lin's shopkeeper, and the two of them knew that Meng Tianchu had solved the murder case of the shopkeeper Lin's daughter in the previous case, and they had a deep friendship with the shopkeeper Lin, and the shopkeeper Lin also gave Meng Tianchu a tavern. I was immediately relieved.

Feiyan jumped up happily, grabbed the pipa that had fallen to the ground with ripples, turned upside down and grabbed the pipa head, stood next to Meng Tianchu, and shouted loudly to those turtle masters: "You dog slaves, listen, our young master is the great benefactor of your Lin shopkeeper, you dare to do something to the benefactor of Lin shopkeeper, you are really blind!" ”

When those turtle men heard this, although they were suspicious, they would rather believe this kind of thing, and they all took several steps back, and some of them had already secretly thrown the iron rod.

Meng Tianchu smiled and said to Feiyan: "Okay, don't scream, you go and close the door, I will interrogate them immediately, and when Shopkeeper Lin comes, everything will be clear." ”

Feiyan hurriedly ran over to close the door of the private room, Xia Fengyi calmed down from her panic at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Xianggong..."

Meng Tianchu patted his chest and made a very exaggerated appearance: "Don't be afraid, the prime minister is here, everything is fine!" ”

Xia Fengyi was amused by him and laughed and nodded.

Meng Tianchu turned his head to look at the ripples sitting on the stool with a pale face, and asked, "Ripple girl, are you okay?" ”

Ripple shook his head slightly: "Thank you Meng Ye for your concern, the concubine is fine..."

Meng Tianchu glanced at the unconscious big man by the door, let go of the foot that was stepping on the old bustard's head, sat on the chair, and said to the old bustard lying on the ground trembling: "Hey! If you are dead, if you are not dead, get up and answer the question, and if you die, you will be thrown into the lake to feed the king! ”

The old bustard quickly got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Meng Ye spares his life, the villain has eyes and no beads, and he has offended Meng Ye, please spare his life." ”

"If you want me to spare you, you can answer the question honestly."

"Yes, yes!"

"Did Gongzi Ke return to your flower boat that afternoon before he died?"

The old bustard hesitated slightly, kowtowed, and said, "Yes, I've been back." ”

"You tell me what happened, tell you, if you dare to hide it, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Meng Tianchu swept the silver hairpin in his hand.

The old bustard shuddered and said, "That afternoon, when it was almost dark, Gongzi Ke returned to our flower boat, drank a few glasses of wine, and then said that he was tired and left. ”

"Who is he drinking with?"

"He... He watched singing, dancing and drinking on the top floor, and he was alone. ”

Ripple coughed lightly on the side, Meng Tianchu's heart moved, glanced at Ripple from the corner of his eye, turned to Ripple and said, "Ripple girl, is this really the case?" ”

Ripple glanced at the old bustard, lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Meng Tianchu knew that she had worries, and said with relief: "Don't worry, if you provide information and make contributions to the investigation of the murder of the prefect's son, I can keep you safe and sound, and let the prefect reward you heavily!" ”

Ripple General looked at Meng Tianchu suspiciously, lowered her head and thought for a while, she knew that now might be a turning point in her life, so she saw if she could grasp it, and finally bit her silver teeth and nodded: "Okay!" That night, Gongzi Ke was not alone, he was with... He came back with Li Gongzi..."

"Li Ruhan?" When Meng Tianchu heard this name, he seemed to see a ray of light from the layers of fog.

Ripple nodded and said, "Yes, when it was almost dark, the two of them came here again, looking very happy, and my mother asked me to be in charge of serving them, but they didn't ask for anything, they entered a private room, closed the door, and let me wait outside the door, and I didn't know what they were talking about inside." After a while, I suddenly heard Gongzi Ke shouting for tea, I hurriedly took the tea and pushed the door in, smelled a foul smell, and then saw..."

Speaking of this, I heard the old bustard cough heavily, squinted his eyes and glared at Ripple fiercely, so frightened that Ripple hurriedly shut up.

Meng Tianchu kicked the old bustard in the face, and the old bustard was kicked and fell to the ground, and the old face suddenly opened the oil paint shop, and the nosebleed and saliva on his face. Meng Tianchu bent down and said, "If you dare to interfere with Lao Tzu to solve the case, Lao Tzu will beat your pig's head into a rotten eggplant!" If you don't believe me, give it a try! ”

The old bustard kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy.
