"Hang this red lantern, a pair, it's going to be hung up, the word is facing outward, yes, that's it."

"Mr. Cai, the new bed has been delivered, where can I put it?" Carpenter Tan brought a few apprentices to send the newly built marriage bed!

"Master Tan is here, quick, this way!"

Meng Yan and Wen Xiaoyu's new house cannot be arranged in the middle, it is reserved for the future housewife, and can only be arranged into the east chamber.

"Here, that's it, the bed is here, the dresser is here, the wardrobe is ...... there"

Cai Jin pointed out the location to Carpenter Tan according to what Meng Yan and Wen Xiaoyu had discussed in advance.

Although the construction period is relatively tight, Carpenter Tan and several of his apprentices have worked day and night to make a complete set of furniture!

Originally, it was going to be painted, but Meng Yan felt that this furniture was the most authentic, and this set of furniture was made of yellow rosewood.

Such a set of things, if put in a few hundred years, it will be worth a fortune.

Of course, in this era, it is also very valuable, to be able to get so much wood, and to have such exquisite craftsmanship, the combination of the two, that is valuable.

This money is not painted by Meng Yan, it is the money paid by Wen Xiaoyu.

She's going to get married, if she can't be vigorous, but she can't just wronged herself like this, so everything has to be the best.

Meng Yan also felt a little guilty, so he relied on her.

The new house is also basically arranged according to Wen Xiaoyu's habits, and of course it also takes into account Meng Yan's preferences.

Wen Xiaoyu couldn't marry without a maid to serve, she originally wanted Lin Yi to come over. The back kitchen of Kesong Crane Tower needs Lin Yi.

As a result, Mei Ji became a maid in the small rain room.

Meng Yan himself was basically rarely at home, and spent the two days in the yamen of the inspection envoys, supervising the transformation work of the craftsmen, while also reading the files related to Bai Suxin's case.

After Bai Suxin was arrested, Xi'er disappeared, and there was no mention of Xi'er in Dongchang's case file.

Moreover, Bai Suxin also told her that on the day of the crime, the hot water she bathed in was boiled for her by Xi'er.

But then she was arrested as an adulterous murderer. The mind is in a mess. I never saw Xi'er again.

On the same day, Xi'er disappeared.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Xi'er left the capital by herself and returned to the Bai family alive.

During this period, Meng Yan went to Bai's house and met Bai Suxin's stepmother Bai Jiao's and Jiao Lanrong.

This woman is very seductive. It's a bit of a flirtatious taste. Less than thirty years old. And the husband died.

There is no trace of sadness on his face, he looks very moist, and there is a spring love between his eyebrows.

You can see it. She is not a woman who can keep a festival for her husband.

What's more, Bai Suxin said that after giving birth to his younger brother Bai Shaoqing, his father Bai Xinyuan rarely slept with his stepmother.

And Bai Xinyuan has been living in the store with her, so no one knows what this woman has done at home.

Maybe his younger brother Jiao Hong knows.

Jiao Lanrong's description of Bai Suxin is quite bad, Bai Suxin's daughter is so unbearable and dirty in her stepmother's heart.

What "deliberately opens her breasts in front of people" is commonplace, portraying Bai Suxin as a woman who likes to seduce men all day long.

Meng Yan also saw Bai Shaoqing, a white and chubby man, a little afraid of life, Jiao Lanrong didn't seem to like him very much, and scolded him at every turn.

The child is very small and very afraid of his mother.

Of course, it is normal for children to be small and afraid of their parents, but Meng Yan always feels that this seven-year-old child seems to have some secret hidden in his heart?

Of course, a child's secret may not mean anything to an adult at all, because it may just be a ridiculous thing.

Meng Yan only stayed in Baifu for less than a stick of incense before he came out, and he didn't ask anyone else except Bai Suxin.

"My lord, I have been secretly visiting in the past few days and have heard some rumors." Li Duo, who works hard, is very attentive.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Bai Suxin's stepmother Jiao Lanrong is not a decent woman, someone has seen him having a private meeting with a lover, and there is more than one!" Li Duo took a sip of hot tea.

"This official is not surprised, when I went to see her in Baifu, her hair was scattered, her blouse was staggered, and her eyebrows were scattered, which are all typical expressions of a woman after experiencing happiness!" Meng Yan stood up and said.

"I didn't expect adults to understand these things at such a young age?"

"Don't forget, this official is a doctor!" Meng Yan smiled.

"Yes, the lower official forgot about this!" Li Duo smiled, "My lord, did you ask me to investigate Jiao Lanrong, is it because this Jiao sister and brother have a bad relationship with Bai Suxin, and this Jiao Hong may have committed perjury in Bai Suxin's case?" ”

"If Bai Suxin's confession is true, then Jiao Hong must be jealous of Bai Suxin, so is it possible to take this opportunity to take revenge on Bai Suxin, not to mention, if Bai Suxin is sued for murder, will the Bai family's pastry shop fall into the hands of their sister and brother?" Meng Yan smiled slightly and asked rhetorically.

"Killing two birds with one stone, such a vicious strategy, but Jiao Hong doesn't know, if he does this, won't he be exposed?"

"Exposed, what if Jiao Hong is from Dongchang?"

"Jiao Hong is from Dongchang?" Li Duo was taken aback and exclaimed.

"Yes, Jiao Hong is actually a secret agent of the East Factory, and it is possible that he was before entering the Bai family." Meng Yan Road.

"Then Jiao Hong's confession can't be used as testimony!" Li Duo said angrily, "Dongchang is dereliction of duty!" ”

"Now the problem is, even if we can prove that Jiao Hong is a secret agent of the East Factory, but we can't prove when Jiao Hong became a secret agent of the East Factory, if the East Factory says that after this, Jiao Hong will do things for the East Factory, we are helpless, isn't it?"

"The adults are thoughtful, and the officials admire it!"

"This case is very complicated and involves a lot, and it is very difficult to show the truth to the world without clarifying the mysteries one by one!" Meng Yan said, "By the way, what is Zhang Xuan doing?" ”

"Lord Zhang has locked himself in the house alone for the past two days and listened to the people below. In a daze! Li Duo said with a smile.

Zhang Xuan is here in the end, because Meng Yan asked him to come over by name, and the Criminal Department has no room for improvement for him, unless he wants to be mediocre for the rest of his life, and coming to inspect the Yamen is his only hope.

"He'll figure it out." Meng Yan smiled bitterly.

His relationship with Zhang Xuan is really a bit chaotic, anything can be humble, money, official position, these are all things outside his body. Meng Yan didn't value it very much.

Only their own woman. That's never going to be let out.

"My lord, I heard that you will take a concubine tomorrow, I wonder if the lower official can ask for a glass of water and wine to drink?" Li Duo said with a smile.

"If you want to come, I will welcome you. But don't bring any gifts. I didn't think I'd do it in a big way. ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Li Duo was overjoyed.

East Plant.

"It's been five days. Haven't found anyone yet? Cao Jixiang was very angry, when did Dongchang suffer such a big loss?

A big living person just disappeared, relying on the power of Dongchang. I turned the capital over, but I didn't find anyone, and I didn't even find the roots.

"Godfather, in this capital, how many people can hide a person from our Dongchang know?" Cao Qin asked.

"Yes, uncle, in my opinion, Jiao Hong has a heavy relationship with Bai Suxin's case, and now that kid surnamed Meng is investigating Bai Suxin's case, will this Jiao Hong fall into his hands?" Cao Duo said viciously.

After being hit by 20 boards, he could only sleep on his stomach for several days, and he couldn't touch women, which made the hatred in Cao Duo's heart accumulate more and more!

"Junior Brother Duo, what has Meng Yan been doing these days?"

"He goes to inspect the yamen every day, either to supervise the decoration, or to read the files, and then he goes to talk to Bai Suxin's girl, and when he arrives, he goes down to the yamen and goes home." Cao Duo said.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary?"

"I didn't see it, uncle, I let people carry me to the yamen every day, and then I stayed for a day, and I couldn't do anything!"

"Godfather, it seems that our focus is on monitoring this Meng Yan?" Cao Qin said.

"It's not like we haven't tracked and monitored him before, but he found out, and the consequence of being found is that our people are either abolished by him or disappeared!" Cao Jixiang said.

"Gone?" Cao Qin was surprised, these were all things he didn't know, and they were all secretly arranged by Cao Jixiang on the orders of Wang Zhen.

"We and Jinyiwei monitor each other, this is the traditional rule, but we must not let the other party find out, once discovered, either withdraw, or only be killed by the other party, whether it is injured or dead, we can't retaliate against each other, this is a tacit understanding of ours." Cao Jixiang said, "Qin'er, you know. ”

"Isn't there anything we can do?" Cao Qin said.

"Do you know Bai Suxin's case?"

"Clearly, apart from Jiao Hong, how much evidence has not been erased that can make Meng Yan overturn the case?" Cao Jixiang asked.

"This ......," Cao Qin hesitated.

"Are you hiding something from me?" When Cao Jixiang saw Cao Qin's expression, his eyes immediately became gloomy.

"Godfather, I'm thinking, what tricks will this Meng Yan come up with, so that we can deal with it in advance?" Cao Qin's eyes flickered and said.

"Qin'er, the Holy Lord gave Meng Yan a month, I don't care what method you use, I can't let this Meng Yan overturn the case!" Cao Jixiang said.

"Godfather, don't worry, I'm measured!" Cao Qin hurriedly said that he was the one who presided over the trial, and if it was really an unjust case, then he would not be able to get out of it.

"Okay, the focus is still on that Jiao Hong, we must find people, as long as people are in hand, we will take the initiative!" Cao Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, godfather, even if this year is over, the child will find Jiao Hong!" Cao Qin assured.

"Factory ......"

Cao Jixiang listened to the little eunuch's advice, and glared at Cao Qin fiercely: "What have you done, you bastard?" ”

"Godfather, I am, that ......" Cao Qin's face sneered.

"Hmph, I don't care about this matter, you can handle it yourself!" Cao Jixiang snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.

"Brother Qin, isn't it, you and that ......" Cao Duo asked with a grin.

"Let me know who talks a lot in front of my godfather, I want him to look good!" Cao Qin glared fiercely at the little eunuch who came in.

The little eunuch trembled in fright, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Cao Qin again. (To be continued......)
