The middle-aged man looked very scared, looked left and right, and covered the man's mouth with his hand, "You're crazy, don't you know that the wall has ears?" I told you, that girl is dead, you have a lot of future waiting for you in the future, it's just a maid, what are you still thinking about her doing? Can't you see what Mademoiselle has in mind for you? It's good that she's dead, and it's still on my mind that she's alive for a day! Why don't you let me, a father, worry about it? ”

After hearing this, the man's tears flowed down at once: "You said, you said, we will spend the days in the future, you said, you want to accompany me to watch the sunset, watch the sunrise, watch our children grow up, watch us grow up, watch us grow up, watch us grow old, watch us grow old, these are all what you said." But how do you say you're leaving? ”

The man stood up suddenly, turned around and grabbed his father by the collar, "I know you killed her, right?" You've said you're going to let her die, aren't you? How can you let her die like this? Are you being a little too ruthless in doing this? ”

The middle-aged man found that Meng Tianchu and the three of them were looking at them like monsters, he quickly helped the man up vigilantly, and the two of them walked towards the door, and threw a few pieces of silver to Xiao'er when they went out.

Watching them leave, Murong Yuxue let out a long sigh and sat on the bench in a daze.

"Yuxue, what are you thinking?" Meng Tianchu asked.

"Think about that Su Yan's man, what he said just now."

"You women like to listen to men's sweet words, and these words are the most popular for you women."

"But the problem is that the man just said that the woman named Lian'er Di said this to him. I think their relationship should be good. ”

"However, his father seems to want the death of the one named Lian'er." Wang Yi said.

"It seems that this rice. We can't eat, so we're going to sober those two now. After Meng Tianchu finished speaking, he stood up, and Murong Yuxue and Wang Yi had no choice but to go out together.

Meng Tianchu and the others came to the inn where Miss Xi and they stayed, and the two people thought that they had already returned to the room, and as soon as Xiao Er saw that it was Meng Tianchu, they hurriedly greeted them with smiling faces.

"Master, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"Which room does the girl Xi from the capital live in, we have something to do with her."

"She and a few people just went out, and they haven't come back yet." The little boy said with a smile.

"Out? Didn't the old and the young who came with her just come back? Wang Yi said.

"The two of them have indeed just returned. But they didn't go out together. ”

"Where have they gone, do you know?"

"When they go out. A personal guard beside Miss Xi asked where our shopkeeper Cuiyun Villa was and whether she had gone there. ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself. Why did these people all go to Cuiyun Villa? That Lian'er also went to Cuiyun Villa before her death, so what is this Xi girl doing there now?

"Then master, do you think we are chasing them? Or go up to the two of them? Murong Yuxue asked.

"Little Er, do you have anything else to eat here? We're starving to death right now, so get us something to eat. As soon as Meng Tianchu said this, the little second quickly replied, "Yes."

It was supposed to be a supper for Miss Naxi. It was almost ready, and she suddenly said she was going out. So it's ready-made, and I'll bring it to you right away. “

"What's delicious?"

"It's all some of our West Lake small spots, glutinous rice chickens and whatever. There are seven things, I have enough portions, and it is not a problem to satisfy your hunger, master. ”

"Okay, then thank you Xiaoer." After Meng Tianchu thanked him, the little second hurried to the kitchen.

After the little second child left, Meng Tianchu said to Murong Zhenxue: "We won't go to find the upstairs, nor will we chase the outside, we'll wait here." We don't have a carriage now, so we naturally can't catch up with our feet, and if we go back to the yamen and get the chariot and chase it again, I think we should have missed the land. Moreover, you also listened to that little second just now, it should have happened that Miss Xi decided to go out temporarily. Wait a while, when the little two come, we'll ask again. ”

The food was quickly served, and it seemed that it was really ready and hearty.

Meng Tianchu and the others gobbled it up, and after a while, the food on the table had been cleaned up by them like a whirlwind. Seeing their appearance, Xiao Er on the side couldn't help but smile and stepped forward, asking them if they wanted to come more, Meng Tianchu and they shook their heads again and again, saying that they were already full, and then left Xiao Er to continue to ask.

"Did anyone come to look for that Miss Xi before she went out?" Meng Tianchu asked.

"Then I don't know, because at that time, the shopkeeper asked me to prepare supper for Miss Xi and them in the kitchen, and then the shopkeeper asked me not to prepare, saying that Miss Xi was going out, so I walked out, and I just heard the guard asking our shopkeeper the route of Cuiyun Villa, because it was dark, the shopkeeper was afraid that they would not find it, and asked the second dog in our store to follow and lead the way."

"Are you saying that the two dogs in your store also went with you?"

"Yes, we went together, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Then have you seen that personal maid of Miss Xi?" Meng Tianchu asked again.

"Is that the girl who died in the kiln?"

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, it seems that everyone knows that this person named Lian'er died in Nuanchun Pavilion, and it seems that it will be difficult for that Fengming's old bustard to get his business back in the future.

"Yes."

"I've seen it, when they first came, we thought the maid was a young lady, and the young lady was a maid. The maid didn't see the maid's appearance at all, and the relationship with the young lady seemed to be very good, the girl came to us for a few days, and only when the maid was there, she smiled, and then she kept pulling a face, which was very scary. ”

"What is the relationship between the two men who came back just now and that maid?"

"Oh, the older one is Miss Xi's butler, and the little land is the butler's son. I haven't seen how the relationship is. However, the maid and the housekeeper's son seemed to be very close, eating and doing things together. ”

"Did you see that the maid the morning she left?"

"She went out with the housekeeper's son, and when I was about to open the shop, I saw the two of them going out very affectionately."

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he immediately became alert, he remembered that the shopkeeper of the tea shed said that she was the only one when he saw Lian'er that morning, so where did the housekeeper's son go?

"Then when did you see the butler's son coming back?"

"Then I didn't pay attention."

As he was talking, a beggar at the door thought that he had woken up and saw that there were still people eating in the store. came in and begged for food, and the little two saw it. The fire came up at once, and pushed and shoved the beggar out the door. Meng Tianchu saw that Zhuang scolded the little er, put some of the food left on the table in a bowl, called the beggar to come over, and poured it all to him.

When the little second was busy with other things in the past, Murong Zhenxue said: "That's strange, according to what the little second named Su Yan said and this little second said, the relationship between him and the one named Lian'er should be very good, why didn't he go in to see his sweetheart for the last time in the Nuanchun Pavilion that day." And he can still laugh. And you say a bunch of things. ”

"Maybe I just don't want to see my beloved being killed so brutally by others, so I don't see it." Wang Yi said.

"What Wang Yi said is not unreasonable. But to imagine him doing it like that, it's really not something anyone can do. Meng Tianchu said.

Meng Tianchu took his personal guards Zhu Hao, Wang Yi and Murong Zhenxue in the hall and waited patiently for Miss Xi and them to come back, and the people upstairs did not come down. I think I was already drunk and fell asleep.

In the second watch, Miss Xi came back with a few entourages and guards in black clothes, and when she saw Meng Tianchu and a few of them sitting in the hall, there was a trace of panic in the corners of her eyes, but they disappeared immediately.

Xiao Er, who was sitting and dozing off on the side, saw that Miss Xi and they were back, and immediately stepped forward: "The girl is back?" ”

The girl just nodded coldly, ignoring the little two and walking to Meng Tianchu's side.

"Master is visiting so late, there must be something important to tell me, right?"

"The girl still went to Cuiyun Villa so late, did she want to go to see the place where Lian'er used to live before leaving?"

"Who said I went to Cuiyun Villa?" In between speaking, Miss Xi looked at the little two coldly, and the little two quickly lowered her head and stepped aside.

The girl sighed softly: "I originally wanted to go, but in the end I didn't go. ”

Meng Tianchu secretly calculated the time, and felt that it was not right, if they hadn't gone to Cuiyun Villa, what would they have done in the nearly three hours of hard work? And it's still in the middle of the night.

"Okay, I have to get up early tomorrow and hurry, I won't accompany Master Meng to chat with you, you have to wait hard, go back and rest early."

Meng Tianchu saw that this Xi girl was giving an eviction order, so he stood up: "We met two people at dinner tonight, and they said that it seems that the death of your maid has something to do with them. ”

When Miss Xi heard this, she looked at Meng Tianchu in surprise: "Who is it?" Did you catch them? ”

"If we want to bring it back for questioning, I think we still have to get your consent."

"This is in Renhe County, what do you tell me about the case? You can do whatever you have to do, don't ask me. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Then everything is listening to the girl, Wang Yi, go upstairs and take people." ”

As soon as Wang Yi heard this, he pulled his legs and walked upstairs, and Miss Xi saw that something was wrong, so she quickly stopped him: "Slow!" Master Meng, what are you playing? The upper floor is all occupied by our people, and I have already taken the entire floor down, who are you going to go up and arrest? ”

Meng Tianchu walked to Miss Xi's side, and suddenly smelled a fragrance of flowers, thinking that it was the fragrance of lotus flowers: "The girl also said just now, this is the chassis of our Renhe County, I am handling the case, we can do what we should do, how?" Now are you going to say no to me? ”

When the girl heard Meng Tianchu say this, she slapped her face on the table, her voice was very loud, in such a quiet night, it was like a thunder exploded in the air: "Meng Tianchu, let me tell you, don't you forget your identity, aren't you just a little master?" I shouted you to give you face, don't think that you really eat the land is the emperor's grain. Think of yourself as an official.

Then again, even your county magistrate is nothing more than a dog wagging its tail in my eyes, let alone you! “

Meng Tianchu was not angry at all, and smiled: "What are you angry about?" There are dead people on my territory, and I naturally have to take care of it, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so I naturally don't need me to teach you this truth. And what are you? Do you want to do whatever you want just because someone in your family has a good relationship with someone? Are you the wife of a few officials? Don't forget your own identity, I'll tell you today, I don't have the skin of an official. I'm not afraid to offend people who think they are a character, what are you? You also don't forget who you are. ”

"You.... You... Hello daring. What else are you looking at? Take him to me, I don't believe that I can't clean up this little master who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”

As soon as the words fell. A few guards around Miss Xi rushed up to take Meng Tianchu. Zhu Hao smiled coldly, stood up, and was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard a voice talking upstairs, and everyone looked up and saw that it was Su Yan.

He thought he had woken up, and when he was thirsty, he got up and looked for water to drink. He climbed feebly on the railing of the staircase.

Shouting out a person's name, everyone listens carefully. It's actually called Lian'er!

screamed twice in a row, thinking that he suddenly remembered something, his body went soft, and the whole person sat on the ground and cried. Seeing this, Miss Xi couldn't care about the bold little master in front of her, and hurriedly signaled the guards around her to hurry upstairs to help Su Yan back to her room.

The two guards rushed up the stairs quickly to help Su Yan and walk to his own room, but he didn't expect that he was lying on the ground and didn't want to get up: "What do you want to do?" You killed my Dilian'er, do you still want to kill me? Kill, kill, anyway, I don't want to live without her. ”

After hearing this, Miss Xi also followed upstairs, walked in front of Su Yan, and gently supported him, "Su Yan, go back to the room, okay?" This tone is already like coaxing one's own child.

When Su Yan saw that it was Miss Xi, he suddenly turned his head and turned his face downstairs, Meng Tianchu found that Su Yan's face was indifferent from sad to indifferent, as if he did not appreciate the kindness of the master in front of him.

Miss Xi wanted to say something, probably because there were outsiders downstairs, but after thinking about it, she still held back, but looked at Meng Tianchu downstairs coldly: "If you don't know how to talk about people, don't blame me for being polite." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled, thinking that he was just hearing other people's conversations, and there was no other evidence, and it was not very appropriate to insist on taking others away, besides, if this unruly woman really started the fire, she didn't have anything, so Cai Zhao was a little too embarrassed.

Meng Tianchu turned around and said, "Let's go." ”

When he walked to the door, Murong Yuxue whispered: "If it was really their own people who killed the one named Xiaolian, after we found out, their people had already left, what do you say?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Let's just go to the capital to have a look, they won't evaporate from the world." Let them go first, and staying here still leaves us with no way to let go of our hands and feet to investigate the case. ”

"But..."Murong Yuxue wanted to say something, Wang Yi looked at her, and she shut up.

A few people were about to walk out of the door, and Su Yan upstairs suddenly stopped them: "You three go alone, I recognize you, what are you doing here?" Have you found the murderer of Lian'er? ”

"What are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and help Su Yan back to my room! ”

It was Miss Xi's voice.

"Don't pull me, you're the dog that Xi Ruoyao, you only bite people, what else are you going to do?"

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, this housekeeper's son really drank wine, emboldened himself, dared to say anything, ignored it, and left directly.

After being tired for several days, Meng Tianchu returned home and it was almost dawn, originally thinking of Zuo Jiayin's room, but then thinking that her sleep had not been very good, for fear of waking her up, she would not be able to sleep well, so she still folded to her own study to sleep, anyway, there was a bed in the study.

Meng Tianchu opened the door of the study and was about to close it, when he suddenly heard a voice in the room, he was shocked, and hurriedly took out the flint from his arms to light it, and found that it was Zuo Jiayin!
