Tian Chu nodded and continued to ask, "Tell me why you killed that girl?" ”

The butler said, "Don't you know everything?" If you have the ability to condemn us, you ask so much to do? ”

Meng Tianchu saw that this old man was very stubborn, and knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he stood up and prepared to leave, and the housekeeper spoke: "You think that your little bit can trap our master, I'm afraid that when he wakes up, none of you will be his opponent." ”

Meng Tianchu patted his head and said: "The housekeeper is right, fortunately you reminded me, okay, then I won't ask you now, Zhu Hao continued to plug his mouth for me, and we took them to the yamen together and locked them in the cell. ”

Meng Tianchu loaded Fan Cheng and the other four people into the carriage, and then hurried back to the yamen.

When Fan Cheng woke up, he looked around, as if he was in a prison cell, he shouted a few times, "Meng Tianchu, why are you arresting me?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Originally, I didn't have this plan, but I just heard from your housekeeper that your kung fu is very good, and I was also afraid that you would hurt my brother, so I made this decision, I hope Boss Fan will understand." ”

Fan Cheng looked at Meng Tianchu coldly, turned around and walked to the haystack and sat down.

Meng Tianchu said: "Boss Fan, doesn't he have anything to say to us?" ”

Fan Cheng snorted: "What do you want me to say?" I advise you to release me as soon as possible, I have a good relationship with your Cai Zhao, and you let me go now. I don't think it ever happened. I'm not going to hold you accountable for keeping me here. ”

Meng Tianchu looked up to the sky and ordered a jailer to bring a chair and sit down. Said: "Pursue? Speaking of accountability, I'm really weird, what are you going to pursue me? Your housekeeper put Lian'er in the room of the little green girl, so that the little green girl was forced to have no way out, and finally let the adulterer victimize, who should she hold accountable? ”

Fan Cheng looked innocent. said: "What you say is your own idea, if I kill someone, you will show the evidence of my murder." ”

Meng Tianchu took out something from his arms and motioned for Fan Cheng to come forward and take a look, Fan Cheng stepped forward to take a look, and his face changed suddenly. Meng Tianchu laughed dryly, shook the thing in front of Fan Cheng's eyes, and said, "Do you think she loves you?" ”

Fan Cheng quickly regained his composure and smiled reluctantly. Said: "What did you say? Is this how Master Meng solved the case? What to love or not, I have no idea what you're talking about. ”

Meng Tianchu knew that Fan Cheng was very cunning, and wanted him to bow his head and confess his guilt, so he had to think of other ways. Fan Cheng saw that Meng Tianchu stopped talking and stood there. He laughed a few times and sat back down on the haystack. Meng Tianchu also sat on the chair, and the two of them sat opposite each other like this, neither of them spoke, and the cell suddenly fell silent.

Suddenly, there were bursts of men's miserable screams from the next cell, and from time to time there were loud inquiries, Meng Tianchu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, that Fan Cheng was also a stable person, and he also leaned against the wall and pretended to be comfortable.

After a while, Wang Yi came over with a leather whip and said to Meng Tianchu: "That old man's mouth is too hard, I don't want to say it, I think it was too powerful just now, and he passed out." The woman was soft-mouthed and said everything before she could fight. ”

Meng Tianchu squinted at Fan Cheng, then straightened up and said, "What did that woman say?" ”

Wang Yi leaned over to Meng Tianchu's ear and whispered a few words, Meng Tianchu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." Then he walked out of the door with Wang Yi.

Fan Cheng saw Meng Tianchu, Murong Zhenxue, and Wang Yi go out, walked to the prison door and looked at it for a while, his expression became serious.

Here Meng Tianchu and the three of them came to another cell, a young woman sat in a corner and cried quietly, seeing Meng Tianchu coming, she quickly climbed to Meng Tianchu's feet and began to kowtow, Meng Tianchu hurriedly signaled to let Wang Yi persuade the woman to stop.

Meng Tianchu said: "I heard that you said you want to tell me, I'm here now, just tell me if you have anything to say." ”

The woman looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, raised her head, her face was full of tears, she looked quite Peugeot, and said, "Master Meng, I'm Master Fan... Oh, no, Fan Cheng bought the girl from Tianxiang Pavilion three months ago, as long as you let me go, I will tell you everything. ”

Meng Tianchu sneered, asked Wang Yi to bring a chair to sit down, and then said, "Let you go?" Yes, it's just to see if you do those hurtful things with him. ”

When the woman heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't, really." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "If you say no, you don't? Who can prove it for you? ”

The woman thought for a moment, then said, "My maid can prove it for me." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Is that the maid who was caught with you?" ”

The woman nodded.

Meng Tianchu snorted and stood up

, turned and walked out the door. The woman cried and said, "Master Meng, you and I, I didn't lie. ”

Meng Tianchu turned around and said, "I asked the maid and came to you, and at that time I knew if you lied to me." ”

Meng Tianchu and Wang Yi came to the dungeon where the maid was held, the maid thought that she was still young, and the events of the first day still made her tremble, and when she saw someone coming in, she sat on the ground in fright and shivered.

Meng Tianchu asked Wang Yi to bring a bowl of water, and then walked to the little maid with the bowl of water, and said with a pleasant face: "Come, little girl, I've been thirsty for a day, drink a bowl of water first." ”

The little maid looked at Meng Tianchu and knew that it was the person who caught her the night before, so she was even more afraid, and licked her chapped lips with her tongue, but she didn't pick up the water bowl in Meng Tianchu's hand.

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "I just have something to ask you, and after asking, I will naturally let you go home." ”

When the little maid heard Meng Tianchu say this, she was not happy, but shook her head. Tears flowed down the ground. Said slowly: "I don't have a home anymore, and now that Miss is locked in, I have nowhere to go." Let me just stay in this place. At least one more place to sleep. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he saw that the little maid didn't look like she was lying, so he said, "When will you follow your young lady?" ”

—

The little maid said, "After Miss lived in the old man's house, I followed Miss." ”

Meng Tianchu asked, "What about before?" ”

The little maid said: "I have been following the master before. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You mean that you have been working as Fan Cheng's maid in the Fan Mansion before?" ”

The little maid nodded, Meng Tianchu felt that it was unlikely, such a small child. Isn't Fan Cheng even inferior to a beast in this way? He continued to ask, "What about your father?" ”

The little maid said, "It's dead, when I was seven years old." After that, it was bought by Mrs. Fan, and at first she had been following Mrs., and then when she was twelve years old, Mrs. said that the maid next to the master was not suitable for his personal maid, so she replaced me. ”

Meng Tianchu thought about it, and still asked, "Is the master good to you?" ”

The little maid nodded and said, "The master and the young lady are very good to me." ”

Meng Tianchu asked, "Then you followed Miss later." Didn't Madame ask? ”

The little maid shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just know that I've been in the house with Miss since then." ”

Meng Tianchu asked, "Has Madame ever been to your house?" ”

The little maid shook her head and said, "I haven't been here." I heard from the young lady that Madame must not know the land. Because sometimes I heard the young lady tell me that the lady is very powerful, and if she knew, she would kill the young lady's master. ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the little girl's innocent appearance and smiled, so he handed her the water in his hand and said, "Drink it, drink it." ”

The little maid hesitated, but still took the water, and drank it with a few clicks.

Meng Tianchu stood up and said, "You have a good rest, I'll come to see you later." ”

Walking out of the door, Murong Zhenxue and Wang Yi followed by him, Wang Yi said: "Master, you didn't ask anything, you go and ask that woman now, how do you know if what she said is true or false?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "She doesn't know what I asked this little girl, so she naturally doesn't dare to say anything false." Besides, isn't it a lie, don't we still have Fan Cheng and the housekeeper? ”

Wang Yi suddenly realized: "Master, this idea is really high!" ”

All three laughed and went to the woman's cell.

The woman had been stunned for a long time, and when she saw Meng Tianchu coming back, she hurriedly climbed over.

Meng Tianchu sat on the chair and looked at the woman opposite, he didn't speak, he knew that if he didn't speak, the other party would have no bottom in his heart.

Sure enough, the woman saw that Meng Tianchu was just sitting on the chair and looking at her coldly, and her expression became afraid.

The woman said timidly, "You have already been to my maid, don't you need me to say anything more?" ”

Meng Tianchu didn't speak, and looked at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi roared viciously: "If you don't say it, naturally someone will tell us the land, our master just wants to hear whether what you say is right with what they said, and give you a chance to perform, whether you say it or not!" Just let us know that you did those things, and if you don't say it, it won't be so easy. ”

The woman shook her head hurriedly and said, "I didn't do it!" I also found out later. ”

Wang Yi said: "What do you know? ”

The woman said: "I know that Fan Cheng went to the Nuanchun Pavilion to find that old friend, and he will....

Meng Tianchu said: "What else?" ”

The woman paused and said, "I left one thing there." ”

Wang Yi said: "Don't be sluggish, if you have anything to say, you can finish it together, what is left there?" How do you know? ”

The woman said: "That day, I said that I would go to eat fish with me, but then I didn't expect the housekeeper to call me and tell me, saying that it was Fan."

Time, said to be a change of time, I was bored at home, I thought that the place was to be predetermined, not to eat, it's not a pity, anyway, Fan Cheng left me the money, I just wanted to take the maid to eat, I didn't expect that when I arrived at that place, I actually saw Fan Cheng and the girl were already there. I was very angry at the time, and I wanted to go up and ask questions, but I didn't expect to be stopped by my boss, so I was very angry and turned around and went home. In the evening he came home after that. I cried to go, and he told me that it was to bring the girl out. Need to put something in her room. ”

Meng Tianchu's face was expressionless, still looking at the woman coldly.

The woman hurriedly continued: "I cried and said that I was leaving, to be honest, Fan Cheng was actually very good to me, ransomed for me, and bought me a house." When he saw me leaving, he was in a hurry, so he told me that he had accidentally killed someone by mistake, and there was no place to put it, so he had to find a place to put it up. ”

When the woman said this, Meng Tianchu and Wang Yi looked at each other, and Murong Zhenxue was recording quickly.

Meng Tianchu said: "You are telling the truth? ”

The woman nodded desperately and said, "At the time, I thought he was joking on me. I'm just jealous, if I really go, where can I find a landlord who is so good to me, so forget it. The next day. I heard on the street that a dead man had been found in Nuanchun Pavilion, and I knew that what he said was true. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Didn't he think that you would sue the official?" ”

The woman said, "Later, I went back and asked him." He also admitted it, saying that he didn't intend to kill the woman at that time, but just wanted to rescue the woman home, saying that the woman fainted on the side of the road, but he didn't expect the woman to wake up and insisted that he had hurt himself, and said that he would go to the police, and he killed her as soon as he was afraid. He also asked me if I would denounce him, to be honest, I didn't think about it, because if I sued him, there would be no one to support me, what should I sue him for? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then why are you saying it now?" ”

Seeing Meng Tianchu say this, the woman looked at Wang Yi who was standing aside, her expression suddenly became frightened, and said: "That Fan Cheng's housekeeper is next door to me, when you beat him, I heard it clearly, I am still young, I don't want to die, besides, I didn't kill anyone, I don't need to accompany him to death, he committed a capital crime, you arrested him, naturally you know what happened to him, if I go out, I can still find a person's family, I can't rely on him, that's why I said it." ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, it seems that it is not unreasonable to say that bitches are ruthless, but not all women who do this line of work are ruthless, thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Xiaoqing again.

Meng Tianchu said: "The girl from the Nuanchun Pavilion is dead, do you know?" ”

The woman shook her head and said, "I also heard people say it on the street later, I didn't know that the girl was dead, so I went back to Fan Cheng and said, he didn't seem to know at the time, and his expression changed when he heard it, saying that he wanted to go and see, I was still angry at the time, and said that it was not your good friend who died, and I saw that you were nervous." He ignored me and went out, and when he came back told me that it was the girl who died. ”

When the woman said this, Meng Tianchudi was indeed a little surprised, he looked at Wang Yi and Murong Yuxue standing beside him, and found that their expressions were similar to his own, it seemed that everyone was thinking the same, this news was really unexpected.

Meng Tianchu said: "Is that the case? Think about it again, don't be in a hurry. ”

The woman thought about it for a while, and then said, "There will be no mistake, his housekeeper came to him that night, saying that the lady of the family was sick, and asked him to go back quickly, he did not live with me, and when he left, he seemed to be in a trance." ”

Meng Tianchu stood up and said to the woman: "What you said, I will naturally ask, if it is true, we will naturally be light." ”

Meng Tianchu, Murong Zhenxue, and Wang Yi came to the door of the cell where the housekeeper was held, and the old man thought that he had woken up, and when he saw Meng Tianchu and them walking in, he quickly closed his open eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Of course, this scene could not escape their eyes. Meng Tianchu frowned, and Wang Yi scolded and turned around and brought a basin of cold water, which was about to pour on the old man. Meng Tianchu stopped and said, "Forget it, people of such an age can't afford to toss like you." ”

When the housekeeper heard Meng Tianchu say this, he snorted, opened his eyes and said, "Don't be pretendious, you should be beaten, and now you are still pretending to be a good person, there is no need, do you think I will be fooled?" I'm still the same sentence, I don't know anything, I want to kill or kill you. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "No matter how hypocritical I am, I just want to remind you that no matter how loyal you are, but you meet two masters who don't care about it, you are foolish and loyal." You do things for Fan Cheng and Mrs. Fan, but you haven't thought about it, if Fan Cheng knows that the death of the little young girl has something to do with you, can you still stay in the Fan family? ”
