Du Qin said distressedly: "Master Meng, please be merciful. ”

Yue'er looked at the pleading woman in front of her with disdain, and said disdainfully, "You are the legendary mother?" ”

Du Qin looked shameless and faced his pair of children, so he lowered his head and whispered yes.

Yue'er turned her head to look at Meng Tianchu and said, "Meng... Master Meng, you have a lot of ability, and you have dug up a person who has been dead for thirteen years. ”

Meng Tianchu scolded: "Xi Yue, don't be big or small, this woman is your mother, not only do you not scream, but you also speak disrespectfully, I see you..."

Yue'er twisted her neck, squinted at Meng Tianchu, and said, "Could it be that you still want to beat me?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "I won't beat you, but you can't be a heartless person, three years ago, Xi Lianhua..."

Yue'er: "Don't mention that slut to me!" ”

Meng Tianchu: "I can't help mentioning it, because she let Xi Yuan ** in order to save you, but what about you, what did you do?" ”

Yue'er was stunned and said, "Meng Tianchu, what did you say?" ”

Dragon Slayer rushed forward and said, "I don't think you can change it!" ”

Meng Tianchu stopped, and then said to Xi Yue: "Do you think the child in Xi Lianhua's belly was picked up by Xi?" When did you find out about the secret passage in your room? ”

Yue'er muttered: "Impossible, Xi Xian personally told me that the person he likes is Xi Lianhua and not me, so it is possible that the child in Xi Lianhua's belly is not his?" You're lying to people, you're lying to me in order to solve the case. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Slay the dragon, bring me Xi in." ”

At this time, the young man on the side said, "Master Meng, can I go?" ”

Meng Tianchu walked next to the young man and saw that the young man was very lonely. Knowing that it was indeed very cruel to let him see his family members in such a short time, Meng Tianchu said, "I'm sorry. ”

The young man smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's destined by God, I have nothing to say, but I'm used to it, this is not my home, the Taoist temple is my home, I'm leaving." After speaking, passing by Du Qin's side, Du Qin sadly pulled his son's sleeve and said, "Are you angry with your mother?" ”

The young man shook his head. Said: "Mother, I don't want to say anything now, you let me go, I want to calm down alone." ”

Du Qin wanted to say something, but the young man had already shaken off Du Qin's hand and left resolutely.

Xi picked up and the young man passed by, and they both looked at each other blankly, one left, and the other entered the door of the hall.

Yue'er saw a thin young man walk in. Pale cheeks. With a deep gaze, everything is still so familiar to him, but only the smile on his face is missing.

Yue'er looked at the young man in a trembling voice and said, "Xi pick-up, it's really you, I thought I was ... that night, it turned out to be really you." ”

Meng Tianchu motioned for Xi to come to his side, then looked at Yue'er and said, "Xi Yue, do you know why I handed you that piece of paper that day?" ”

Yue'er: "Did Xi pick it up and let you give it to me?" ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head and said, "No, it's a poem I saw on the wall of Xi's cell. When I saw you later, I associated you with that poem. ”

Yue'er looked at Xi Pickup, and Xi Pick said silently: "What's so strange. I'm not writing to her, I'm writing to Lotus. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and asked Xi to sit down, and then said: "With Xi Pick's background and education, it is a bit far-fetched for him to like Lotus, and it is reasonable for him to like Xi Yue." ”

Yue'er was a little proud, and Xi was about to speak, when Meng Tianchu gently pressed his shoulder. Xi picked up and didn't speak.

Meng Tianchu continued: "And in the process of getting along with the three of Xi Pick, Xi Yue, and Xi Lianhua. Her intern prefers to confide her secrets to Xi Yue, a smart girl in ice and snow. ”

Yue'er was even more proud, nodding frequently. But Xi's face is getting more and more ugly.

Meng Tianchu: "What caused Xi to suddenly decide to be with Xi Lianhua and give up Xi Yue, the official thinks that in fact, family background is not the most important, because Xi Shu knows that with Xi Rui's love for Xi Yue and Xi Yue's temperament, if he really wants to be good with Xi Yue, Xi Rui is helpless." ”

Yue'er said hatefully: "It was that slut who seduced Xi Pick and hurt him..."Xi Pick said loudly: "You are not allowed to insult Lotus, she not only saved me, but also saved you, you can talk like this?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Don't talk for the two of you first, listen to the official to tell you." The first time I came to the walled village, I saw the family that said to Xi Lianhua at that time, I found that the person called Ergou was a very traditional and opinionated person, he should have high requirements for his daughter-in-law, but he was full of praise for Xi Lianhua, which shows what, Xi Lianhua's personality is really well-known in the walled village, otherwise, Xi Rui would not have bought Xi Lianhua to personally serve the eccentric and perverse Xi Yue. ”

Yue'er: "Meng... Master Meng, can you say that about me? ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the nose that was already angry, and the nose was not the nose and the eyes were not the eyes, and smiled lightly: "Isn't it?" Even after the habit of picking up that I have always liked you very much, I have to retreat, not because of your character, but because of what? ”

Yue'er defended: "You slandered me, but I am not. ”

Xi picked up and said: "Xi Yue, you are!" ”

Yue'er heard Xi Zhu say this, so she whispered aggrievedly: "But I'm not like this in front of you." ”

Meng Tianchu: "You are indeed not like this in front of Xi Pickup, but you beat and scolded in front of Xi Lotus, so that Xi Pick can see it, do you say?" ”

Yue'er: "You know so much about everything? ”

Meng Tianchu joked: "What I learned from you is reading people's minds." Xi Pickup, you can now tell Xi Yue in person, why did you just say that Xi Lianhua saved you and saved Xi Yue! ”

Xi pick-up: "Not long after I told Xi Yue about my life experience, one day, Xi Yuan came to me and said that I should leave the walled village, otherwise there would be murder." At that time, I didn't understand, I refused to go, because I also had nowhere to go, and later Xi Yuan said that he owed Lotus a favor, so he could spare me the first time, but he would never spare me the second time, I asked him, he left without telling me anything, and then I sent a letter to let Lotus come back from Xi's mansion. After Lotus came back, she was reluctant to tell me why at first, and then I said that if she didn't tell me, I would not leave the village and her mother and little sister when I died, and then she was anxious, so she told me that Xi Yue told her grandfather about this matter, and it happened that Xi Yuan accidentally heard it, and at that time Xi Yue and Lotus didn't know that there was a secret passage between Xi Yuan and her room. One night. Xi Yuan originally wanted to ** Xi Yue through the secret path, because he didn't know that Xi Yue was his biological daughter, so he had bad thoughts about Xi Yue..."

Xi Yuan hurriedly pleaded on the side: "Xi Xuan, don't spray people with blood, even if Xi Yue is not my Xi Yuan's biological son, I will not do anything shameful to my niece." That day, I... I drank a few more glasses, alone in the workshop, I don't know why, just... I arrived at Du Qindi's room. I..."Xi Yuan slapped himself hatefully and said, "I didn't... I really didn't think about what to do with Yue'er, I just saw Yue'er as Du Qin in a trance. I really..."

Meng Tianchu: "I understand, it's probably because Yue'er looks too much about Du Qin when she was young, so Xi Yuan looked at the wrong person after getting drunk, right?" ”

Xi Yuan nodded again and again and said, "Exactly, exactly." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xi pick-up, you go on..."

Xi Yuan: "Xi picks up." Never mind. Don't talk about the iniquity I have committed. Speaking of myself, I admit that I saw the wrong person, but it was also Lotus who saved Yue'er, because after she found out about my attempt, she tried her best to stop it, but I was really drunk at the time, because Yue'er had eaten and slept very hard, Lotus didn't know where I got out of it, she was only wearing a belly pocket at the time, maybe I... Alas, in short, I'm Xi Yuan is not a person, I can't see the person who can't sleep inside, I want to be violent to Lotus, she didn't know where to take a pair of scissors and was dead, where I was willing to give up, so I told her about Xi Pickup, she knew, so she begged me to spare Xi Pickup, I agreed, the condition is..."

Xi picked up angrily, pointed at Xi Yuandi's nose and scolded, Yue'er was also stunned, and said, "Really? So would it be so? ”

Xi was heartbroken and cried: "Lotus knows that what I like is you, how can I get in the way, and I am her brother, in order to make her die, you not only let Xi Yuan be a matchmaker for her, but later you found out that Lotus was pregnant, you thought it was mine, you came to me, pointed at my nose and scolded, and beat Lotus in front of me, Lotus didn't let me tell you, so I had to endure it, and then I told my mother about the family affairs in the neighboring village, because I didn't want to be entangled with you, I didn't think of you..."

Meng Tianchu saw Yue'er looking at Xi Xuan in a daze, so he said: "Xi Yue, now you can tell who killed the mother and daughter of the Xi family, in addition to you and Xi Yuan, who is the other accomplice?" ”

Yue'er laughed sadly and said, "Oh my God, why didn't you tell me earlier, why?" ”

Xi pick-up: "Tell you what, tell your biological father to ** his own daughter, even if Lotus and I tell you, do you believe it?" And your brother was born to your mother and your grandfather, but you were born to your mother and your uncle, isn't this a great shame for your Xifu? You are such a good-faced person, we are so likely to break your heart, especially Lotus, in an unintentional conversation between Xi Yuan and Xi Rui, I learned that Xi Yuan knew the relationship between Xi Rui and your mother and wanted to blackmail him, so I also knew why Xi Rui is the only one who loves you the most among his grandchildren, Lotus is such a kind person, she is so likely to say to you, you say! ”

Yue'er laughed while crying, and said: "Xi pick-up, I was wrong, I was really wrong, kill Lotus, Lianxin and your mother's people are Xi Yuan and me and the housekeepers of Xi's mansion, originally we had no intention, but they shouted desperately, so we had to do it, we didn't want to, really..."

Xi pick-up: "Xi Yue, you are such a vicious woman, why did I still like you in the first place, Lotus is so good to you, you actually..., why didn't you kill me?" Why not! ”

Yue'er cried loudly, like a child, and said, "Xi Pick, you kill me, it's all my ghost for a while." Because the butler said, since I hate you so much, and we must find a substitute for the dead, so... Xi picks up... I..."

Xi picked up looked at Xi Yue in despair and said, "You are so vicious, you are really vicious!" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Miss Yue'er, there is one thing, I have always wanted to ask you, you said that you can read minds, is it true or false?" ”

Yue'er sobbed, "Lord Meng." If I really know how to read minds, how can I be wrong again and again? ”

Meng Tianchu sighed and said, "I'm still counting on you to think of a way for me, so that I can know who guided me all the way and passed me a small note." ”

At this time, a voice by the door whispered: "Lord Meng, it's the slave maid who has been passing you a note. ”

Meng Tianchu turned around and saw that it was Yue'er's personal maid, Sui'er.

Meng Tianchu walked up to Sui'er and said, "Oh." It turned out to be you. This surprised me, so what does that masked man in black have to do with you? ”

Sui'er said sadly: "That's Sui'er's mother." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Why did you and your mother pass this note to this official, you seem to know everything." ”

Sui'er: "There's one thing I can't help but talk about now, I'm the carpenter's daughter

Meng Tianchu looked at Sui'er in surprise, Sui'er nodded, and said, "But Wu Min doesn't want me and my mother, because my mother is a widow, and the family is very poor. Wu Min pestered my mother every day, when my father's bones were not cold, and later my mother and Wu Min gave birth to me. Grandpa also died, but Wu Min refused to ask us, forced to helpless, my mother and I took refuge in Xi's house, and my mother became the nurse of the ladies in the inner courtyard, and I made a personal maid next to Mr. Xi, because it was Mr. Xi's personal maid. So I know a lot of things. Later, Miss Yue'er fell ill, and Mr. Xi asked me to serve Miss Yue'er. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Why did you send me a note?" ”

Sui'er: "My mother is dead." But I didn't blame you, my mother and I just want to take revenge, we know that the young grandmother is not dead, and we know that Wu Min and the young grandmother are not clean, so I want to let Master Meng know Wu Min's ugly face through Xi picking up this case, I didn't expect that God bless me and my mother, Wu Min died. ”

Meng Tianchu: "I didn't expect things to be like this, so do you know the truth of Xi's case?" ”

Sui'er: "I don't know very well, but I guessed a few points, knowing that as long as you go to the silk village, you will naturally return to the walled village, as long as the mystery of Du Qin is revealed, then the case of Xi Jie should be able to surface." ”

At this time, a subordinate hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Master Meng, it's not good, Old Lady Xi..."

Before Meng Tianchu could speak, Du Qin had already gotten up, looked at his subordinates nervously, and said, "So? The subordinate pointed out the door in fear and said, "Old lady Xi, he... He hanged himself! ”

The wind blows the dry branches and makes a cracking sound, the goose feathers and heavy snow fall from the sky, so that people can't even open their eyes, and at the ten-mile long pavilion, the mood of people and the weather is the same, which makes people lonely and sad.

"Xi Shu, where are you going, let's stay in Hangzhou Mansion."

"Thank you Lord Meng for saving your life, Xi Shu can now get out of the whole body, all thanks to Lord Meng's help, or Xi Ji will not be able to go to the Netherworld Mansion to see my father and two mothers, as well as my two kind sisters, even if he dies."

"Xi pick-up, then you have no relatives now, and the New Year is about to begin, where are you going?"

"Alas... Everywhere there is no home everywhere, besides, you also told that person that you will not trouble me again in the future, I think my father and mother know that my Yuan family and me are alive under Jiuquan, which can be regarded as a relief. ”

"Xi pick-up, then you have to take care."

"Master Meng, please cherish it too, Xi will never forget your great kindness and virtue for the rest of his life, and I hope that I will be able to gain fame in a few years, and I will definitely repay your kindness."

Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "You are leaving, I don't know when we will be able to meet, so you didn't think about going over to say goodbye to Miss Yue'er?" ”

Xi picked up silently shook his head and said: "That is a woman who should not touch the ground by grass people, if it weren't for my momentary ghost, Lotus, my little sister and my mother would not die, I am already guilty, what kind of love for children and daughters at this time, then Xi Pick is a beast." ”

Meng Tianchu sighed and sent Xi to the carriage. He said to the coachman: "I have been taking care of Xi all the way, but his body has not fully recovered." ”

The coachman hurriedly responded yes, Xiaonuo stepped forward, took out a pocket from his arms and handed it to Xi Pickup, Xi Pick couldn't help but feel sad when he smelled the smell of Xiaonuo's body, and choked up and said: "Madam, every time I see you, it reminds me of my mother, the mother who gave birth to me, please forgive Xi Pick for being presumptuous." The smell on your body misses her a lot. ”

Meng Tianchu and Xiao Nuo looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Nuo said softly: "Actually, I'm not as old as you, so let Xiao Nuo call you big brother." ”

Xi picked up in a panic and said: "Don't dare, Xi picks up ten thousand deaths and doesn't dare to let the princess call the grass people like this, that's killing Xi pickup." ”

Xiaonuo: "You are also a general, so you can't, my father is also a military general, so I said." There's nothing you can't do. I understand your feelings, there are some entanglements in this pocket, you can keep it alive, if you want to come back, you can come back at any time. ”

Xi picked up nodded gratefully, signaled the coachman to whip away, the wheel turned, Xi picked up his head and waved at Meng Tianchu and Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo leaned on Meng Tianchu's arms and said, "Tian Chu, I'm so sad." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded. said: "Yes, the result is always so unexpected, who would have thought that it was the maid next to Yue'er who has been guiding us to discover the truth." ”

Xiaonuo: "Then what about that spike now?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Left." Xi's House"

Xiaonuo: "What happened to the case of Du Qin and the carpenter?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xi Rui died, Xi Yuan and Xi Yue and the housekeeper were arrested, Du Qin was sent back to the cell, and later I asked Wen Zhu, and I felt that it was unlikely that Du Qin committed the crime, but I found that there was diamond powder in the pill from her, so. She still can't get away with suspicion. ”

Xiaonuo: "Let's go." Let's get in the car. After speaking, he walked to the car, and Meng Tianchu carefully helped Xiaonuo to the car. Then he got into the car and said to the dragon, "Let's go back too." ”

Three days later, Meng Tianchu came to Defu Silk Village again.

As soon as I walked to the door of the silk village, I saw Wenzhu's good pillar, which was a shrewd and capable young man at a glance, who had been following Li Defu left and right, and was Li Defu's right-hand man.

As soon as the pillar saw Meng Tianchu, he immediately greeted him with a smile and bowed down, Meng Tianchu looked at the door of the Fu Silk Village, and the pillar immediately said: "Lord Meng, our host is happy, so we are temporarily closed for three days, are you here for the eldest lady's case?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "The pillar is clever. ”

Zhu Zi smiled hesitantly and said, "Master Meng, hurry up and sit in the inner courtyard, it's so cold outside." ”

Meng Tianchu: "What kind of happy event is your owner, such a doctor has been arrested, and your shopkeeper Li is going to fill the house?" ”

The pillar leaned into Meng Tianchu's ear and whispered: "It's not, but it's not a newcomer, it's the one who didn't let the eldest lady enter the door before, Wen Zhu probably told you." ”

Meng Tianchu sighed and said with a smile: "We are here uninvited, is it appropriate?" ”

Zhu Zi hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at what you said, it's not appropriate to do this, we can't even invite such an honorable guest as you." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the pillar and said matter-of-factly: "Zhuzi, you are so capable, you are a talented person in the silk village." ”

Chai Meng also said on the side: "My subordinates think so, you see that Wenzhu girl is ingenious, and the pillar is so smart and capable, it is not appropriate to stay in the silk village." ”

Zhuzi was very happy to see that the prefect and his subordinates praised himself and Wenzhu like this, so he said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Meng, Zhuzi just can't find a Bole, if you find it, my thousand-mile horse is still very useful." ”

Meng Tianchu laughed, and the pillar also laughed.

Meng Tianchu: "The housekeeper in my house is old, and he told me several times that he wants to return to his hometown, but I am reluctant. ”

Zhu Zi naturally heard what Meng Tianchu said, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart, if he and Wen Zhu could really go to the prefect's mansion to do things, and they could also be housekeepers, wouldn't that be a step to the sky?

The pillar hurriedly said: "Lord Meng, if you believe in my pillar, give me a chance, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Meng Tianchu patted the pillar on the shoulder with a smile and said, "But is your shopkeeper willing to let you go?" ”

Where is the pillar willing to give up this big pie, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the shopkeeper can't do without me, but it's not very good for the pillar, the silver given is less, there are many things, and the most important thing is that the shopkeeper is ready to move the store to Jiaqing Mansion, but Wenzhu's home and I are in Hangzhou Mansion, so we don't want to go, you see..."

Meng Tianchu: "So, Li Defu is doing a good job here, why did he move all of a sudden?" ”

At this time, Zhuzi was bent on following Meng Tianchu to eat and drink spicy food, so he naturally helped Meng Tianchu, and he didn't hide what he said, and he said whatever he knew.

Zhuzi said: "Lord Meng, you don't know, the shopkeeper has always been at odds with the eldest lady, but the shopkeeper has a problem, that is, he is afraid of guilt, hehe, so he has not dared to fight the idea of moving, in fact, the shopkeeper's hometown is in Jiaqing, so it is normal to want to go back, what do you say?" ”

Meng Tianchu snorted and said, "That's what I said, don't you tell Li Defu about where you want to go with Wenzhu to me, you know?" It's not appropriate to say it now, you know? ”

As soon as the pillar heard this, he saw that there was great hope for this matter, and he didn't know where to put his happy hands and feet, and even said yes, Meng Tianchu leaned close to the pillar's ear and whispered: "Don't blame the official for not reminding him, if you tell people everywhere, be careful that you incur the disaster of killing, understand?" ”

Zhuzi: "Lord Meng, do you mean that the shopkeeper killed the carpenter and then blamed the eldest lady?" ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at the pillar with a smile and said, "Did I say that?" ”

The pillar quickly corrected: "No, it's me who thinks so." ”

Meng Tianchu said in a low voice: "Butler three, do you know which three?" ”

Zhu Zi shook his head blankly, and Meng Tianchu said, "Don't ask indiscriminately where you shouldn't ask; Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't say, keep your mouth tight, your heart is careful, your hands are clean, and the most important thing is loyalty. ”

The pillar was embarrassed and said, "What Master Meng said, the pillar is all in mind, I don't dare to forget it, and I will definitely not do it again." ”

Meng Tianchu snorted, and as he spoke, several people entered the inner courtyard of Defu Silk Village under the leadership of the pillar.
