After speaking, he went out and got into his carriage, whispered a few words in the ear of a guard, and then turned around and waved his hand to Meng Tianchu, the carriage left the alley of Meng's mansion and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, Zuo Jiayin, who was standing next to Meng Tianchu, suddenly leaned back, Meng Tianchu hurriedly held Zuo Jiayin up, Chai Meng and Tulong looked around and found that there was no one.

Meng Tianchu took Zuo Jiayin in his arms and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Wen Rou was about to catch up, Xia Fengyi grabbed Wen Rou and said, "Let's not go back at this time, then Jian Qi Old Fox will definitely ask someone to follow us, see if you really go, let's get in the car first, and when Tianchu comes, we will go." ”

Gentleness: "Why did Jiayin get up, her injury is so serious, how can she get up?" ”

Xia Fengyi comforted: "I probably heard that Jian Qi was coming, and I was worried that the old fox would be suspicious, so I got up, don't worry, you can go with peace of mind, there are still us at home." ”

Nodding gently and sadly, he said, "The good news depends on you." ”

Xia Fengyi: "Don't worry, let's go." ”

Wen Wen had no choice but to follow Xia Fengyi and them into the car step by step, her eyes were already shining with tears, and she silently prayed for Zuo Jiayin in her heart.

Meng Tianchu carried Zuo Jiayin back to the house, Liu Er was sitting in the room waiting, and when he saw Meng Tianchu coming in with Zuo Jiayin in his arms, he quickly got up to help.

"Master Meng, let's do it with me."

Meng Tianchu carefully put Zuo Jiayin on the bed and shouted softly, "Jiayin, wake up." ”

Zuo Jiayin seemed to hear Meng Tianchu's call, and finally opened his eyes, and smiled with relief when he saw Meng Tianchu looking at him anxiously. said softly: "Tianchu, why haven't you left yet?" ”

Meng Tianchu held his gentle and cold little hand and said worriedly, "Why are you up?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "It's not in the way, but I feel a little dizzy, why just..."

Liu Er walked to Zuo Jiayin's side, looked at Zuo Jiayin sideways, and said, "Don't move anymore, the wound is bleeding." There was a lot of blood from such a deep wound, and I couldn't resist the third lady, you see, if the wound was cracked. What should I do? ”

Meng Tianchu saw some fine beads of sweat oozing from Zuo Jiayin's pale face, so he gently wiped them off for her. Zuo Jiayin: "Don't worry about me. You should go and send Gentleness, if you don't go out for a long time, Gentleness should be worried again. Again. That Jian Qi..."

Meng Tianchu interrupted Zuo Jiayin's words and said, "Okay." I'll go, don't talk, I see that you are getting less and less energetic, I'll let Miss Liu'er take care of you, I'll be back soon, okay? ”

Zuo Jiayin nodded weakly and said, "Go, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, there is Miss Liu'er here, you can rest assured." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Liu'er, Liu'er: "Master Meng, you can rest assured that Liu'er will definitely take good care of the third lady." ”

Meng Tianchu then got up and said, "Okay, then I'll go, I'll be back soon." ”

Jian Qi returned home and went straight to Jian Ning's firewood house.

Jian Ning was sitting in front of the window, holding a sandalwood comb and gently combing her hair, Jian Qi walked into the room, and saw Jian Ning carefully and carefully bowing her head to comb it, and Liu's mother on the side bowed her mouth at Jian Qi, with a very disdainful expression.

Jian Qi tried his best to make himself smile, walked to Jian Ning's side, and said in a soothing tone: "Ning'er, have you drunk all the ginseng soup that Mother Liu made for you?" You see that you have lost weight like this in a few days, it really makes my father feel distressed. ”

Jian Ning raised her head and glanced at it, her eyes made Jian Qi can't help but feel a little angry, where is the look of the daughter looking at her father, there is clear disdain and contempt in this look, and there is even some contempt.

Jian Qi was still restraining himself, and said softly: "What, did you wash your hair today?" Lemon's hair is as good as your mother's hair, black and shiny, so good! ”

Jian Qidi's words seemed to poke Jian Ning's sore spot, she slammed the comb on the table, stood up, passed by Jian Ningdi, and said coldly: "I don't seem to have heard my mother's name from your mouth for ten years, what, are you talking to your own daughter without words?" ”

Jian Qi walked to Jian Ning's side with a smile and put his hand on Jian Ning's shoulder, Jian Ning frowned, and quickly moved her shoulder away, Jian Qi smiled wryly, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's get down to business, I have done the thing you asked me to do, so that thing..., should you give it to me?" ”

Jian Ning looked at Jian Qi's flattering look, couldn't help but sneer, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you." But I told you, what did you decide to do with my daughter? ”

Jian Qi immediately laughed and said, "What is this called, where is the father and daughter having an overnight feud?" Today you can move back into your yard and be the same as before! ”

Jian Ning: "Okay, then let me tell you, everything is there for Yang Lezhi, you can go to him." ”

Jian Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said: "If it was really Yang Tongzhi's place, he would have given it to me a long time ago, he said, that thing is here with you, what's the matter, you still want to play hide and seek with me?" ”

Jian Ning looked at Jian Qi with a serious face and said: "Since I decided to tell you, I don't need to tease you, I didn't know what this so-called account book was, so I gave it to him, and after he took the account book, he never gave it to me." ”

Jian Qi smiled grimly, "Really? Then the first time I asked you, why didn't you tell me? ”

Jian Ning looked innocent and said: "Dad, I told you, you don't believe it yourself, I told you from the beginning, Yang Tongzhi wanted to use that account book to ask you for an official position of Hangzhou prefect, you don't believe it, you would rather believe an outsider than believe in your own daughter, what can I do?" ”

Jian Qi walked to Jian Ning's side and twisted Jian Ning's arm, Jian Ning couldn't help but let the pain gasp, Jian Qi said, "You want to go around with me, don't you?" ”

Jian Ning: "Dad, whatever you want, anyway, you have found someone to search my house, and I think you have probably sent someone to search for it in the government, if you find it, you will naturally not waste your lips and tongue here with me." I really don't, why don't you believe it? ”

Jian Qi reluctantly let go of his hand and said, "Okay, I believe you for the time being, if I go to Yang Lezhi and don't find it, see how I clean you up." ”

Jian Ning sneered and ignored it.

Jian Qi was about to go out, and Liu's mother hurriedly stepped forward. He asked carefully, "Master, will the young lady continue to live here, or will she move back to her own house?" ”

Jian Qi looked back at Jian Ning and thought about it. "Let her move back to her own yard, but she is not allowed to go anywhere." You know? ”

Mother Liu nodded hurriedly. Said flatteringly: "Master, you can rest assured." ”

Jian Qi left, and Jian Ning rubbed her shoulder, which was still aching.

Stand up. Mother Liu saw that Jian Ning was going out, and hurriedly said, "Miss." Where are you going? ”

Jian Ning glanced back at the fat and ugly woman, and said, "What, where am I going, do I need you, a slave, to ask?" Are you also itchy and want to find someone to loosen it for you? ”

Mother Liu hurriedly showed a smiling face and said cautiously: "The slave doesn't dare, I'm not afraid that you can't stand it, I want to ask you if you want to bring a shawl." ”

Jian Ning sneered: "I'll go back to my own yard, is it okay?" ”

Mother Liu: "Yes, yes, of course." I'll send the young lady back. ”

Jian Ning ignored it, walked straight out of the door, looked up at the scorching sun overhead, couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, her body shook a few times, and quickly held on to the pillars on the corridor, at this time, she heard someone playing not far away, she smiled bitterly, and walked slowly towards her yard.

Meng Tianchu sent Gentleness to the outside of the city, naturally it was indispensable to have a long relationship with children, thinking that there was still good news lying on the bed at home, Jian Ning's situation was not very clear, and she couldn't help but be a little worried, and Gentle saw that Meng Tianchu was still worried about the people in the city, so she said a few words, and then said goodbye to everyone one by one, and set off with Zhu Hao and his wife and more than a dozen guards.

Meng Tianchu and the others watched the gentle and their team disappear from sight, and then they turned around to go back, and suddenly saw a few people galloping on horses in the distance, and when they got closer, it turned out that Wang Yi came with a few officials.

Wang Yi turned over and dismounted, walked to Meng Tianchu's side, first bowed his hand, looked at the team that had already walked a long way, and said, "My lord, are they leaving, second lady?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, and Wang Yi said, "There is another murder case." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Are you used to telling me as soon as there is a case, it's not my turn to take care of it now." ”

Wang Yi walked up to Meng Tianchu and whispered, "This dead person should be more interested." ”

Meng Tianchu was puzzled and said, "Who?" ”

Wang Yi smiled strangely and said, "It's our Yang Tongzhi, Yang Lezhi." ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he thought that he had heard it wrong, looked at Wang Yi, and was even more surprised when he saw that he nodded affirmatively at him, and said, "When is the matter?" ”

Wang Yi: "Early this morning, Yang Lezhi's wife came to report, saying that Yang Tongzhi died in the room of the temporary residence of Renhe County, Meng Ye, you know, Tongzhi has always been thrifty, and has been reluctant to buy fields and houses in Hangzhou Mansion, saying that it will be said that it will be said that it will be said after the real estate in Jiaqing Mansion is disposed of, so he has been living separately from his family for a month, who would have thought that such a thing would happen." ”

Meng Tianchu immediately turned over and got on the horse, Xia Fengyi saw Wang Yi and Meng Tianchu whispering something, knowing that something was probably going on in the mansion, seeing Meng Tianchu's anxious appearance, it was inconvenient to ask, Meng Tianchu said to Xia Fengyi and them: "Fengyi, you and Feiyan go back first, take good care of Jiayin, I will go to the mansion with Wang Zhutou, and come back when we are busy." ”

Feiyan: "What's the matter, is someone dead again?" ”

Meng Tianchu snorted and said, "It's Yang Lezhi, Yang Tongzhi is dead." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it.

Meng Tianchu took Wang Yi, Chai Meng and Tu Long back to the city, and came directly to the room rented by Yang Lezhi in Renhe County, because the case happened in Renhe County, but Cai Zhao had already waited there with his servants, and the courtyard had been guarded by officials.

Seeing Meng Tianchu turn over and dismount, Cai Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Lord Meng, you are here." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and returned the salute to Cai Zhao, and looked around the courtyard, this is a not big yard, about three or four hundred square meters, the house in the courtyard is divided into two courtyards, the front and back courtyards, and it is also a two-story design, it seems that the house was repaired relatively early, the pavilions and pavilions are a little old, and the place where Yang Lezhi lives is in the backyard, and the owner of this family lives together, except for the front hall is where the subordinates live.

Meng Tianchu came to the backyard under the guidance of Cai Zhao, the backyard seemed to be cleaner and more spacious than the front yard, and some county officials were guarding a door, Meng Tianchu thought, this room was probably where Yang Lezhi lived.

Meng Tianchu asked as he walked, "Have all the people in this family been interrogated?" ”

Cai Zhao hurriedly replied: "I have asked someone, and now I will lock them all in my room one by one, worried about collusion, according to the situation asked, Yang Lezhi went home the day before yesterday and never went out, because Yang Lezhi and the second lady of the family are cousins, so he was allowed to live here, but I heard that he usually goes home after eating outside, and he rarely interacts with people in this family, so everyone is not very clear about his situation." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then lock them in their respective rooms for the time being, where is Yang Lezhi's wife now?" ”

Cai Zhao pointed to a woman in her early thirties sitting under a locust tree at the door, who was bowing her head and crying.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward, the woman looked ordinary, and she was a bit husband and wife with Yang Lezhi.

Cai Zhao: "Li, Master Meng is here." ”

After hearing this, the woman quickly stopped crying, stood up, and didn't dare to look up at Meng Tianchu, first bowed down to salute, and Meng Tianchu hurriedly said, "Madame doesn't have to be formal. ”
