When I came to the hall, I heard Zuo Jiayin continue: "I was also in the past, and I often heard those diners chatting when they mentioned it, saying that this Yin family cottage used to be a big dart game in Hangzhou, and it should have been famous in Hangzhou ten years ago, but again they seemed to have received a very important dart, at that time, for the sake of prudence, the dart head of the dart board and his only son bet on this dart together, I didn't expect..."

Everyone walked to the hall, and those frightened maids came out to pour tea for the master with trepidation, in fact, at this time, the housekeeper had already sent additional manpower, and all the Dongchang masters who were originally transferred to protect the Meng family's compound were now guarding in all corners.

Wen Bozheng was listening energetically, and suddenly saw Zuo Jiayin picking up the tea bowl to drink tea, and said in a hurry: "Sanniang, don't drink it, tell us quickly." ”

Everyone laughed, Meng Tianchu put the whip on the table and said, "You should always let your Sanniang take a breath." ”

Zuo Jiayin took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, I'll continue." I heard that the dart head was not yet fifty years old at the time, it should be the prime of life, his son is only in his twenties, and it is also the time when he is in his prime, who knows that there is no hundred miles out of Hangzhou, and he was robbed by bandits, all the darts were robbed, her father and grandfather because there was no way to return so much dart silver and those valuable things pressed, and then the defendant was the official, neither of them was able to come back alive, and the home was also copied, and then I heard that the wife and children of the dart head and other people in the dart bureau were at least nearly a hundred people, It disappeared overnight. Later, I vaguely listened to the chatter of the diners, and seemed to know that they had gone up the mountain to be a prisoner. ”

Said gently: "Speaking of which, they are still poor people, but now that they are bandits, they should not want to attack us when they find us." ”

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous when they heard Wen Wen say this.

Meng Tianchu said: "It stands to reason that we are just a small family, if she robs, she should rob those who have money." For example, our Dong Weng...". Everyone couldn't help but laugh. knew that Meng Tianchu was joking.

Xia Fengyi said: "It's the first time I've heard that there are bandits in Hangzhou, it's really surprising. ”

Gentle said: "In fact, where there are officials, there will be corruption, where there are rich people, there will naturally be these poor people who are forced to have no way out. ”

It was the first time everyone had heard Gentle speak like a heroine. couldn't help but look at her curiously, and even Meng Tianchu felt that he was going to be impressed by the gentleness.

Wen Rou was a little embarrassed to find that everyone looked at her like this, picked up the champa and half-covered her small mouth, smiled secretly, and said, "To tell the truth, don't you think? ”

"Erniang, but I heard from my mother that your father and uncle are also officials. And it's a big official. ”

Everyone hurriedly gave Wenbo a look. I'm afraid that Gentle will get angry.

Who wants to be gentle just smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's what I said, that's what I said." It's a good thing they didn't hear it, or I would have been miserable. ”

Hahahaha.... Everyone burst out laughing.

After laughing, Xia Fengyi still said with some worry: "No matter what, we can't take it lightly, who knows what the origin of this masked man is, and then pity the Yin family, we can't underestimate them, after all, they are bandits." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Feng Yi makes sense, if you go out to buy anything in the future, you must bring Li Linjing and at least three guards, if you don't go out, try not to go out, just buy something and let the subordinates, the housekeeper and the old man do it." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "No matter what she is, the soldiers will block it, and the water will flood the earth, it is really impossible to send some officers and soldiers and my own subordinates to destroy their cottage, everyone is at ease." ”

Zuo Jiayin hurriedly shook his head and said: "I can't help it, although this Yin family cottage is hated by the government, but the people like it very much behind their backs, what do they say about robbing the rich and helping the poor, eliminating violence and peace, in short, it is full of praise, the government wants to destroy them several times, and someone has reported it, but in the end, not only did they not be destroyed, but the government also suffered heavy losses. ”

Meng Tianchu saw Zuo Jiayin say this, and he also felt that it made sense, and no one was hurt today, but if the Yin family's cottage made a move in the future, it must not be let go.

…

Following

Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao went to the outer courtyard and the inner house to check carefully, and then repeatedly instructed Xia Fengyi to go out and other matters, then they were relieved, and they were about to go out, when they suddenly remembered that the matter of Xue Xue was originally what Xia Fengyi said last night, but they were stirred up by the masked man and completely forgotten.

Meng Tianchu walked to Xia Fengyi's side and said, "Fengyi, I wanted to talk to you about something yesterday, but I let the masked man stir up the peace, so he showed it to me, I mean to take Xue over as soon as possible, you can show me what day is appropriate." ”

Xia Fengyi nodded and said, "Yes, this matter should have been done a long time ago, I saw that you were uncertain a few days ago, and I guessed that it had something to do with Miss Murong at that time, okay, I wrote it down, you can rest assured to do your errand, I will do this matter as soon as possible." ”

Meng Tianchu listened, knowing that Xia Fengyi had always been able to reassure him about doing things, and was about to leave, but Xia Fengyi took a step forward and said:

Meng Tianchu turned around, and when he saw that it was still Xia Fengyi, he stopped.

Xia Fengyi hurriedly took a few steps forward, first thought about it, as if there was something difficult to say.

"Say it, say whatever you want."

"I mean, you see you're about to take your fifth grandmother, but you haven't really been gentle and gentle, she's fine now, do you see it..."

Meng Tianchu's face turned red when he saw what Xia Fengyi said, and immediately said with a smile: "I have also thought about this, you don't have to think about this, wait until I am busy for a while." ”

Xia Fengyi turned her head and looked nervously at the gentleness behind her, and then said, "I also hope that Miss Murong will have a better life after she enters the door in the future." You also know that sex is gentle

Very, so..."

"Madame thinks about it, it's just that it's normal for a man to marry a wife and take a concubine, where is she unhappy, but in order for you to get along better, I wrote it down, besides, don't you also say that she has been much better recently? Hopefully, your worries are just unnecessary. ”

Xia Fengyi listened. Nodding. To be a woman, just accept your fate. If you are married, do you really let your man divorce him, it is really more than worth the loss, and the loss is big.

Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao had just stepped out of the house, and they saw Wang Yi running over panting from afar, looking panicked, and was about to arrive in front of Meng Tianchu. almost stepped on his left foot and his right foot, if Zhu Hao hadn't stepped forward to hold him, he would probably have really wrestled.

It's the first time Meng Tianchu has seen Wang Yi so flustered, he has been a head catcher for more than ten or twenty years, he should have seen any scene, as for being so flustered.

Zhu Hao asked, "Wang Zhutou, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Yi held on to the pillar at the door, and his clothes were wet with sweat. I saw him gasping for breath and saying intermittently, "No... Disastrous... That's it. Someone will... Give that Wang Cai... Looted. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, this was not trivial, robbing the prison. He had never heard of someone in a small county town who dared to come to rob the prison, and the person who knew the puffy would actually save him from the yamen prison.

"Wang Yi, you say slowly, when did you find the land?"

Wang Yi rested for a while, and then told Meng Tianchu what had happened one by one.

"Early in the morning, I took two brothers to the prison to pick up people, but when I got to the cell, I found that there were no people, and the windows of the cell seemed to have been broken, and the whole window was gone, except for a big hole."

"Let's go check it out." After that, Meng Tianchu hurriedly took the first step, and Zhu Hao and Wang Yi followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the cell, Murong Yuxue was already waiting there, and when they saw Meng Tianchu and them coming, the two of them only made brief eye contact.

Meng Tianchu said while looking at the cell: "Zhenxue, have you watched the scene?" ”

"I looked, and the man probably pulled out the window entirely, because the railing of the window was cast of pig iron, and there would be a sound of saws, and there would be sounds of hitting or kicking, and I asked the jailer on duty in the cell yesterday, and no one heard any sound."

Meng Tianchu nodded, and saw a stool placed under the window, probably from Murong Yuxue stepping on it just now to look at the window.

Meng Tianchu also stood up and took a look, and sure enough, Murong Zhenxue was not wrong in his analysis, this window should have been completely pulled out, this person should be divine power, not to mention ordinary people, even sawing would take some work. Looking out of this empty window, there is an alley leading to the backyard of the yamen, and this person must have entered through the backyard of the yamen, and it seems that he has a clear understanding of the entire terrain of this cell and the yamen.

Meng Tianchu jumped down from the stool, patted the dust on his hands, and then looked around the cell, except for some straw, it was a wooden barrel for the convenience of the prisoners.

Murong Xue said: "This person is really bold, he actually dares to come from the backyard of the yamen to save people." ”

"Yes, Xue Xue is right, so many guards in the yamen didn't find out."

A jailer stepped forward and said cautiously, "Master Meng, yesterday it was me and another brother on duty, and we really didn't hear any sound. ”

Meng Tianchu walked to the door of the cell and looked at it, this cell should be in the comparison, at least ten meters away from the room on duty, if that person wanted not to be discovered, he should pull out the window in one breath, if he shook it repeatedly, it would probably also alarm the jailer on duty.

Meng Tianchu said: "How many hours do you usually patrol at night?" ”

"We're all on patrol once an hour."

Meng Tianchu looked at the jailer solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Have you patrolled every hour?" ”

The jailer glanced at Meng Tianchu secretly, and said with some weakness: "The little one should be damned, the little one drank more with the other brother last night, and they all fell asleep after the third watch, and we didn't wake up until Wang Zhutou came to pick up people." ”

"Bastard!" Meng Tianchu shouted, white, and his body trembled.

"Master Meng... Small... The little one doesn't dare anymore, you can spare me... This time, I. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that the jailer was so frightened that he couldn't do it, but he actually understood in his heart that this jailer had always been like this, saying that whoever was on duty was not drinking and gambling, who would give you a good night patrol, so you want to go.

"Spare you, I'm afraid that Renhe County has not yet had a thing of locking people in a cell and losing them, even if I spare you, do you think the county master will spare you? If that person can't be found, let alone you, Dong Weng and I will probably be unlucky. ”

The jailer threw himself on his knees, kowtowing and crying about his old and young, white-haired old mothers and babies waiting to be fed.

Meng Tianchu knew that if he was soft-hearted at this time, these jailers would not be more lax and arrogant in the future, and it would be necessary to take this opportunity to rectify their discipline.

Hurriedly instructed Wang Yi to send people to the city gate to conduct a strict investigation, and send some people to the nearby suburbs and villages to look for them. After arranging everything, Meng Tianchu saw that there was only one jailer here, didn't he say that there was one more person, where did he go?

"What about the brother who is on duty with you? How did you not see it. ”

The jailer saw that Meng Tianchu's gloomy face seemed to be raining, and his heart was even more bottomless, if he really swept the floor and went out, the family would really have to go home to farm, thinking of this, the jailer cried and replied, "He... He probably had a bad stomach last night and went to the toilet and hasn't come back. ”

"Hairy toilet?" Meng Tianchu looked at the jailer strangely, and the jailer nodded hurriedly.

"How long have you been there?"

Before the jailer could answer, Murong Yuxue said on the side, "I didn't see it when I came. ”

Meng Tianchu felt that something was wrong, and immediately said, "Hurry up and go to the hair toilet to have a look." The jailer immediately answered and ran out.
