Chapter 46: A Straw Hat
Bai Sumei glanced at the brush and white paper, shrank her body, and hid in Madame Bai's arms. No matter what they tried to persuade her, she seemed to be deaf, and there was no response except for the occasional gentle coughing sound.
As soon as everyone discussed, they all thought that she was likely to be overly frightened, and her head was not clear, so she should not be reluctant, and she would ask slowly in the future. Seeing that it was getting late, the old couple said goodbye and left. When the Bai couple instructed Yin De to take care of their daughter and were about to leave, Bai Sumei held her mother and didn't let go.
Mrs. Bai was helpless and decided to spend more time with her daughter and wait for her to sleep before leaving. At this moment, someone from the yamen came to report that Song Zhixian had been arrested by Jinyiwei, and Song Yun'er immediately rushed back to the yamen.
After Yang Qiuchi mediated the release of Song Zhixian, Yang Qiuchi told Song Yun'er that Yin De was likely to be the real murderer, and it was possible to kill people tonight, and taught her how to deal with it, Song Yun'er ran back to the inner office in one breath, and only said "Daddy is fine, rest assured", rushed directly into the tent, took two hundred taels of silver, and returned to his boudoir, took a burden on his back, immediately returned to the interrogation room, and after handing over the silver to Jinyiwei, he didn't have time to talk to Song Zhixian, so he went straight to Yin's house.
There are only a few lights on in the Yin family's compound, like ghost fires floating in the cemetery at night. When the gatekeeper saw Song Yun'er, he hurriedly bowed his waist to say hello, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Miss, you ......" Song Yun'er was gone.
Song Yun'er rushed to the bottom of the small attic and began to shout: "Sister Bai! Are you okay? I am back! ”
Ding Ding Dong stepped on the stairs and rushed up to the small attic, and when he arrived at the door, he was about to kick his feet, but the door was opened, Mrs. Bai and Bai Qian always stood at the door, and Mrs. Bai waved her hand to Song Yun'er: "Be soft!" Your white sister just fell asleep! Bai Qian said: "You came back just in time, we are about to go back to rest." ”
Song Yun'er saw Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai Qian, and a stone suddenly fell to the ground. Since Bai Sumei's parents haven't left yet, Bai Sumei shouldn't have had an accident yet, so she didn't care about saying hello, the arrow generally pierced in front of Bai Sumei's bed, leaned down to check, and saw that Bai Sumei was breathing steadily, and her high chest rose and fell with her breathing, so she was relieved. I took off the burden from my back and put it next to the bed.
Mrs. Bai came over to see her daughter and said to Song Yun'er: "Just now Lang Zhong prescribed him a dose of soothing medicine, and after giving it to her, she fell asleep. After that, he kissed his daughter's forehead lovingly, and said to Song Yun'er, "Miss Song, our Mei'er will trouble you to take care of it." ”
Song Yun'er stood up and patted her chest: "Don't worry! Madam Bai, I will definitely protect Sister Bai well! ”
Bai Qian said: "I'm tired!" "Take Madame Bai's hand and go out.
Song Yun'er saw Yin De standing aside, with no intention of leaving, and asked with a pretty face, "Hey!" They're all gone, and if you don't leave, what are you doing here? ”
Yin De laughed twice: "I'll go?" Where are you going? This is my room. ”
Song Yun'er clasped her shoulders with her hands and sneered, "Your room? Didn't you listen to my brother? I want to protect Sister Bai closely, so your room is borrowed by this girl, so you can find another place to sleep. ”
"Huh? How can there be a little girl like you who forces other husbands and wives to separate? Yin De couldn't laugh or cry.
"What, haven't seen it? Don't you see it now? Song Yun'er hugged her shoulders, looking arrogant and unreasonable.
"Good, good! I'm scared of you, I'll go! Yin De saw that Song Yun'er had no intention of backing down, so he had to give in and arched his hand, "Yin is here to thank Miss Song for taking care of my wife." ”
"Well said! Say! Song Yun'er returned the salute with her fists and sneered.
After Yin De left, Song Yun'er did not undress and sleep, but sat by the window, looking at the dark night outside, as if waiting for something.
―――――――
Yang Qiuchi asked Da Banya for the things that Hu San had been detained when he was imprisoned, found the bunch of keys, and then came to Widow Xie's house with Ma Du, more than a dozen brocade guards and his personal guard, Little Black Dog, and quietly surrounded the place.
Through the night, Ma Du and Yang Qiuchi observed carefully, but they didn't find any movement, and the pot of flowers that Hu San said was still honestly staying on the windowsill.
Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du slowly sneaked into the door of Widow Xie's house, and after listening, there was no movement. Yang Qiuchi tilted his head and motioned to go in, Ma Du nodded, and whispered to Jinyiwei to hide and not startle the snake. Yang Qiuchi took out Hu San's key, opened the door, and slipped in with Ma Du, with three brocade guards and a little black dog.
The room was pitch black, Yang Qiuchi, Ma Du and the others squatted in the door, and waited for their eyes to slowly adjust to the darkness in the room before they instructed the three brocade guards to find a place to hide.
Widow Xie's house has two rooms inside and outside, and there is no big furniture, Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du checked the two rooms first, and did not see anything, so they hid next to a large cabinet.
After an ambush of about a stick of incense, Ma Du became a little impatient, if the recipient never came, would he just keep waiting? Ma Du quietly asked Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, shall we just wait?" If not, let's go back and have a few brothers wait here. ”
Yang Qiuchi smiled secretly: This big-bellied general flag, he wants to make meritorious contributions, and he doesn't want to be tired, so he said in a low voice: "That's okay, let's go back." ”
Ma Du nodded, the two left the big cabinet, Ma Du ordered the three brocade guards to continue to wait, as long as someone entered the house, they would be arrested, and then go out of the door with Yang Qiuchi.
When passing a large table by the wall, Yang Qiuchi suddenly stopped.
Ma Du asked, "What's wrong?" Brothers. ”
Yang Qiuchi didn't speak, reached out and picked up a straw hat from the table, and then carefully observed the moonlight that came in from outside the house. I measured it with my fingers, compared it above my head, and said to myself, "It's strange~!" ”
As soon as Ma Du entered the room, he saw it, and he didn't think there was anything special, so he asked suspiciously, "What's strange?" ”
"Who does this straw hat belong to?"
"What's wrong? Any questions? Ma Du still didn't understand.
Yang Qiuchi said in a low voice: "Master Ma, this widow Xie is petite, and I wear this straw hat too big, so it will never be Widow Xie." ”
Ma Du's eyes lit up, yes, and then he remembered one more thing: "Could it be Widow Xie's husband?" ”
Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "His figure is not as good as mine, and he can't wear it." After a pause, he thought for a while, and then said: "Judging from this size, the person wearing this hat is either a big fat man with a head like a watermelon, or a burly man with a height of more than 1.9 meters." ”
"One meter nine?" Ma Du didn't understand what the unit of measurement this meter was, so he asked.
Yang Qiuchi also realized this problem, but he suddenly didn't know what the ancient ruler was converted into this meter nine, so he said: "It's taller and stronger than you and me." ”
Ma Du stretched out his hand and gestured at the caliber of the straw hat, and compared it on his head, and exclaimed: "That's right, brother has good eyesight." After a pause, he asked, "But what does this mean?" ”
What a fool! Yang Qiuchi scolded secretly, and patiently explained: "This straw hat is neither Widow Xie's nor Hu San's, and it is placed on the table of Widow Xie's house, who do you say?" ”
"Who's?" Ma Du lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly exclaimed happily, "Could it be the person who came to receive the letter?" ”
Yang Qiuchi groaned: "It's very possible. ”
