"When did Miss Wanyan move in?"

"Two days ago."

"What does Miss Wanyan do?" Meng Yan asked while looking up and down, left and right in the room.

"Small business, I'm afraid it won't fall into the eyes of Lord Meng!"

"If the small business is done well, it is also remarkable, and the official has never looked down on businessmen, especially businesswomen." Meng Yan walked over, reached out and picked up a vase on the table, put it in his hand and observed it carefully.

"It's just that the people of this world look down on us businessmen, and think that we are all traitors who can't afford to make profits?"

"Businessmen pursue profits, this is human nature, this is not treacherous, this is like a farmer, he doesn't also hope that the seeds he sows, there will be a big harvest, but the hard work of the farmer year, maybe the harvest is disproportionate, and the businessman may become rich overnight, some people are rich, arrogant and lascivious, but they forget who they are, for the rich and unkind, it will naturally be hated by the world." Meng Yan Road.

"So in the eyes of Lord Meng, what is a real businessman?"

"Does Miss Wanyan want to be a real businessman?"

"Would you like to teach me?" Wanyan Xiaobai is a serious way.

"This official and you are just meeting for the first time, why should this official teach you when they meet in Pingshui?"

"It's all abrupt." Wanyan Xiaobai was slightly stunned and bowed.

"Okay, how to be a real businessman, let's discuss it when I have a chance later, today the official is here to investigate the case, and the official doesn't want to talk about things that have nothing to do with the investigation."

"Good. Then I will ask you for advice when I have the opportunity to do so in the future. ”

"Miss Wanyan, after you moved in, what did you do in the study, living room, and bedroom?"

"Basically, it didn't move, except for the change of bedding and sheets, everything else was originally here."

"Tianxing, except for Miss Wanyan's personal belongings, give me a careful search of every inch of this place!"

"Your Excellency. He Wendong checked out and left. Will it still leave us clues? ”

"I don't know, now it's just a matter of luck." Meng Yan smiled bitterly.

"My lord, do you want to search under the bed?"

"I didn't hear what I said, don't fall into every corner. If you can't move it. Let someone from outside come in and help you! ”

"Yes."

"Your Excellency. The study was searched, but nothing was found! ”

"The cabinet has also been searched, but no!"

"Except here. Wherever He Wendong can go, he will be carefully searched by this official! Meng Yan ordered.

"My lord, no!"

"No?" Meng Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, could it be that his speculation was wrong?

"Call the shopkeeper in Liao!"

"Yes!"

"Shopkeeper Liao, this official asked you, when you gave the house to He Wendong, how many keys did you give him?"

"Two."

"Two, how many keys in total?"

"According to the rules of the guild hall, there are three keys in total, and we will keep one for ourselves and the remaining two for the guests."

"Then do you know whether He Wendong kept both keys in his own hands, or gave someone else a key?"

"This is related to the privacy of guests, and it is really inconvenient for Liao to disclose it!"

"He Wendong is involved in a murder case, what does the official ask, what did the shopkeeper Liao have better answer, otherwise the official asked you to go to the yamen to reply?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, He Wendong did give one of the keys to a girl named Xi'er."

"Xi'er, isn't it Jiao Hong?"

"Second Master Jiao!"

"Second Master Jiao?"

"Yes, we all call Jiao Hong Second Master Jiao." Liao Junjie explained, "He Wendong is a good friend of He Wendong and often comes over. ”

"Are you sure that the second key in He Wendong's hand is in Xi'er's hand?"

"Yes, but when Xi'er left the capital the year before last, she returned the keys to He Wendong, and when He Wendong checked out, he returned the two keys to me."

"How much does Shopkeeper Liao know about the relationship between Xi'er and He Wendong?"

"The two of them were originally master and servants, and later, Xi'er was sold by He Wendong, it seems to be a family surnamed Bai, and then Xi'er didn't know how to come to He Wendong again, and then they had that kind of relationship, He Laixi'er and Jiao Hong, in short, the relationship between the three of them is a bit chaotic......"

"How do you know that?"

"I'm the shopkeeper of the Riverroom Hall, and this guest's room always needs to be cleaned, so I know that." Liao Junjie said embarrassedly.

"So you keep it a secret for them, don't you?"

"Ahem, ahem......"

"Bai Suxin's case, you know, right?"

"I heard, I heard, it was quite a sensation."

"Did Xi'er come to the Riverroom Hall on the evening of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month?" Meng Yan asked.

"This, let me think about ......"

"Such a sensational case, the relationship between Xi'er and the Bai family, will you Liao shopkeeper not pay attention to it?" Meng Yan asked coldly.

"Yes, yes, Xi'er did come to the Riverroom Hall that night."

"How many days have you stayed, and who has been here in between?"

"First He Wendong, then Jiao Erye, Jiao Erye came the next night, stayed overnight, and left in the morning."

"What about He Wendong?"

"He lives on the other side." Shopkeeper Liao said.

"Opposite, is it the room opposite?" Meng Yan's eyes lit up and asked.

"Yes!"

"Tianxing, search the opposite room!" Meng Yan immediately ordered.

"Lord Meng, this won't work......"

"Why not, there are guests in the opposite room?" Meng Yan's eyes were sharp, staring at Liao Junjie and asking.

A layer of fine beads of sweat quickly oozed from Liao Junjie's forehead, and he was very nervous.

"That's, that's ......"

"What's that?"

"Master Meng, Liao is just a businessman, I told you, can you tell anyone else?" Liao Junjie knelt down in fright.

"Do you say it or not?"

"I said, I said. The room opposite is Jiao Erye's private room, but he doesn't use his own name, but uses a pseudonym. Liao Junjie said nervously.

"I see!" Meng Yan was about to laugh, no wonder, he always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that the problem was still in this courtyard.

"My lord, I found it again!" Soon, Lin Tianxing rushed in and happily reported to Meng Yan.

"Someone!"

"Go to Jinyi Wei Beiya and tell Lord Sù Fu. Let him bring me thirty soldiers. The sooner the better. ”

"Whoa!"

"Others are blocking this courtyard, and from now on, no one is allowed to leave this courtyard!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Look, my lord. This short sword. Could it be the murder weapon that killed Li Chengyan! Lin Tianxing happily came to Meng Yan with a short sword.

Meng Yan took over. Feeling a sinking in his hand, he took out the blade of the sword, a little cold star Shandong. The body of the sword is like a pool of autumn water, and the blade is incomparably sharp, and it is natural.

"What a sword!"

"My lord, look at the words on the scabbard!"

"Autumn water!" Meng Yan carefully identified the two small seals and said, "It seems that this short sword is called Qiushui!" ”

"My lord, this is a famous sword, I didn't expect it to be here, and it fell into the hands of Jiao Hong." Lin Tianxing exclaimed.

"Is it famous?"

"Of course, this short sword is said to be cast by the sword master Gu Jizi, when the sword is completed, the autumn wind is swaying, and the blade makes a wailing sound, but the original three-foot long sword is short into a foot, and the ancient machine master re-polishes it and takes its name Qiushui, which means: look through the autumn water." Lin Tianxing explained.

"It turns out that there is such a story in this, so is this ancient machine master still there?" Meng Yan asked curiously.

"It's long gone, it's all more than a hundred years ago." Lin Tianxing explained.

"So that's the case, this Qiushui Sword is not small!" Meng Yan smiled, put it in his hand and danced a few times, touching his skin, feeling a kind of creepy.

"My lord, this is an ominous sword!"

"The ominous sword, hehe, the sword is just a dead thing, the key is still the person who wields the sword." Meng Yan smiled, "I don't believe in this kind of nonsense." ”

"My lord, after this sword was born, Master Gu Jizi died, the whereabouts of this sword are unknown, and later, those who owned him did not end well, and now this sword fell into the hands of Jiao Hong, and the fate of this Jiao Hong may not be better." Lin Tianxingdao.

"You kid, you're quite superstitious, okay, this sword may be a piece of evidence, a murder weapon, and I'll talk about it after the case is over." Meng Yan put the blade back into the sheath and let Lin Tianxing put it up first.

"My lord, these four boxes are locked, and we can't open them without a key, unless we smash them open with an iron hammer?"

"Don't worry, what's inside, we'll know sooner or later, when the brothers arrive, let's get it back first, if we can't find the key, it's not too late to think of another way!" Meng Yan doesn't like violent destruction, there must be a lot of things in these four boxes, what they are, and it is not appropriate to open them in public.

"Everything here, take it all back." Meng Yan commanded.

"Lord Meng, Lord Meng, the furniture and items here are all from our Hejian Guild Hall, you take them all like this, isn't it appropriate?"

"Don't worry, when the case is over, we will send you back your things without any damage."

"Yes, it's Lord Meng." Liao Junjie can only respond like this.

The person who went to report the news came back, Fu Xiaochen sent Niu Dali over, Meng Yan only needed thirty people, Fu Xiaochen was afraid that it would not be enough, so he directly asked Niu Dali to bring a hundred people.

Everyone is here, and Meng Yan can't let people go back.

Fortunately, there are many people and great strength, and all the things that Jiao Hong hid in the private room of the Hejian Hall were copied back at one time.

"Miss Wanyan, today's matter is disturbed, and the Japanese official will come to apologize in person!"

"What did Master Meng say, and cooperating with the yamen to handle the case is also the responsibility of us, the small people." Wanyan Xiaobai said very considerately.

"Thank you." Meng Yan said, "There is one more thing, this courtyard may not be inhabited for the time being, is Miss Wanyan ......?"

"I know, I'll find Shopkeeper Liao to change rooms."

"That's good, the official will inform the shopkeeper Liao that he must give Miss Wanyan the best room." Meng Yan Road.

"Thank you, Lord Meng."

"Tianxing, bring it back!" Meng Yan waved his hand. (To be continued......)
