"Cao Qin, if this official wants to access Jiao Hong's household registration file, what should he do?" Meng Yan asked.

"You can go to Dongchang, but whether they will let Master Meng read it, then I don't know, Dongchang thinks that it will not deal with Jinyiwei's text." Cao Qin said.

"What about the official himself?"

"It's hard to say, Lord Meng is now in full swing, I don't think they should embarrass Lord Meng." Cao Qin said.

"It should be, hehe, the official knows, this Jiao Hong's archives must be accessed by the official, it's a big deal that the official goes to ask the emperor for a holy decree, the official thinks that Dongchang should not even dare to disobey the emperor's holy decree, right?" Meng Yan smiled slightly.

Cao Qin broke down in a cold sweat, you have used the holy decree to oppress people, who dares to disobey, if the emperor knows this, Dongchang will not even listen to him, the emperor, and directly withdraw Dongchang in one sentence, it is not too unjust.

"Master Meng has said so, and Cao has nothing to say."

"Mr. Cai recorded it, and went back to the East Factory to check Jiao Hong's file." Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes, sir, I made a note of it."

"Cao Qin, do you know, when you were on a whim, Miss Xi'er had a secret knot, and she was pregnant with your child, do you know?"

"What, this can't be, we're together once, how can she conceive my child?" Cao Qin said in surprise.

"Don't you know?"

"Master Meng, Xi'er and I were ridiculous once, and we haven't had anything to do with it since then, why did she get pregnant with my child?"

"Although it is a small probability to get pregnant at one time, it is indeed a matter of survival." Meng Yan explained.

"Lord Meng. This is also ridiculous, it's unbelievable, Xi'er's girl is simply a little lewd baby with bad conduct, she has a relationship with Jiao Hong and He Wendong, maybe the child is theirs? Cao Qin defended himself.

"We deduce the time when she conceived according to the size of the fetus in Xi'er's womb, which should be around June of the year before last, and at that time, you, He Wendong and Jiao Hong have all had a relationship with Xi'er recently, and after you and Xi'er had a spring breeze, Xi'er didn't go to the Hejian Hall for two months. So. Based on this, the official deduces that you are the last man among the three to have a relationship with Xi'er, and you have the greatest probability during Xi'er's fertile period. It's a pity. Xi'er is no more. Otherwise she will tell us who is the true father of the child in her womb. Meng Yan explained.

"No, it's impossible, it's impossible......" Cao Qin shook his head in disbelief.

"Cao Qin. Can you sue the official, how did Xi'er die? Meng Yan stared at Cao Qin deadly, asking questions.

"I don't know, I don't know ......"

As soon as Meng Yan saw Cao Qin's appearance, he knew that Cao Qin knew the cause of Xi'er's death, at least he also knew some clues.

"Cao Qin, this official knows that you want a son wholeheartedly, but unfortunately you have taken a lot of wives and concubines, but no one has given birth to a son for you." Meng Yan sighed, "When the official was doing an autopsy on Xi'er, he found that the fetus in her womb had been formed, and it was a boy. ”

"Boy?"

"Yes, it's a boy!" Meng Yan said with certainty that a three- or four-month-old baby could not tell the gender, but he had to use trickery to trick Cao Qin into saying what he wanted to know.

Cao Qin wanted to have a son, but he longed for many years and did not give birth to a handle, which made Cao Jixiang very disappointed.

If this major matter of inheritance is not handled well, it will affect his status in Cao Jixiang's heart.

"Xi'er is dead, she was murdered, and she is still a corpse with two lives, but the poor baby who is still in his mother's womb is not born, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to open his eyes and see the world."

"Master Meng, don't say it, I know who killed Xi'er!" Cao Qin said suddenly.

"Who?"

"Bai Jiao's family, she killed Xi'er!" Cao Qin said loudly.

"Bai Jiao, why?" Meng Yan and Cai Jin were both shocked, these two people have no grievances and no hatred, how could Bai Jiao's family be so vicious to Xi'er?

"Jealous, she's jealous that I had sex with Xi'er."

"Just because of this, this Bai Jiao clan wants to kill, this reason is too far-fetched, right?" Meng Yan Road.

"Bai Jiao knew about my relationship with Xi'er, so she was jealous and killed Xi'er." Cao Qin said.

"Could it be that Bai Jiao knew that Xi'er was pregnant with your child, she was jealous, and then she had bad intentions and killed Xi'er?"

"This ......" Cao Qin was a little panicked.

"Cao Qin, is this possible?" Meng Yan asked.

"Master Meng, I don't know, Bai Jiao's is indeed a little jealous, but I don't think she would do that, right?"

"Okay, Cao Qin, your confession is good today, and this official will write it into your confession form." Meng Yan Road.

"Thank you, Lord Meng."

"Ou Feng, take it down and take care of it." Meng Yan commanded.

"Whoa!"

"My lord, there is one more, according to Cao Qin, isn't this Bai Jiao clan also a murderer?"

"Before the case is investigated, anyone can be the murderer, whether it is Bai Jiao's or not, we have to find out!"

"By the way, where did Tianxing go?"

"Aren't you going to ask Master Li Duo to find out the identity of the murderer who poisoned Bai Jiao's family?" Cai Jindao.

"yes, there's so much going on, I'm too busy." Meng Yan smiled, "By the way, there seems to be a very important thing to do today?" ”

"My lord, at noon today, Mr. Wen is going to leave for Sichuan." Cai Jin smiled and reminded.

"Yes, yes, this old man has worked hard for me, and I promised Xiaoyu to go to the dock to deliver it!" Meng Yan said, "What time is it, is it too late to rush over?" ”

"If it's in time, if you don't have it, the ship won't go." Cai Jindao.

"That's good, that's good, then let's go." Meng Yan got up and said.

"Good!"

On the pier, a large ship of thousands of materials is parked by the pier. Wen Dudrunk, Wen Xiaoyu's father and daughter, Lin Yi and Bai Suxin, who was fluttering in white, were all there.

Father and daughter said goodbye, I am afraid that it will take more than half a year to come back, Wen Dudrunk in addition to entering Sichuan to buy cellar mud and koji, there are also some procurement tasks, these are naturally arranged by Meng Yan, some seeds and medicinal materials are only available in the south, and they can only be bought over there because of preservation.

"Why hasn't your husband come yet?" Seeing that it was about to be the time to depart, the people on this boat had to pick an auspicious time to sail every time, otherwise they would miss it. It is unlucky. It indicates that this trip will not go well, and there will even be a danger of losing people's money.

Although the boss of the boat was only a little anxious, this boat was chartered by the guests at a high price, and this trip was out for more than half a year. The guest is not allowed to take passengers along the way. Sell some goods along the way. People still don't care.

In this way, this trip down the boat will make the next year's life much more comfortable.

Such guests. The boat boss has been sailing for many years, and he has never encountered it once, this customer is the God of Wealth, and he will not do anything that offends the God of Wealth.

As long as the time has not passed to sail the boat, he is willing to wait a little longer, not to mention that he has been sailing for so many years, and he still has some eyesight for people.

The two women who saw them off were both richly dressed and had extraordinary bearings, and at a glance they knew that they were not ordinary women, maybe they were the wives of some powerful people in Beijing.

"Driving ......"

"He's coming, he's finally here." Wen Xiaoyu, who was originally a little resentful, suddenly bloomed on his face, revealing a happy smile.

"Xiaoyu, I'm not late, am I?" Meng Yan grabbed the reins, jumped off the horse, and threw the reins to the fangs that accompanied him to protect him.

"The ship is about to leave, and you are here." Smell Xiaoyu and snort.

"Xiaoyu, there are a lot of stone things, it doesn't matter if you come late, don't talk like this." Wen Dudrunk next to him spoke.

"Dad, who are you facing?"

"The palms of your hands are meat, and the backs of your hands are also meat, and Dad can't favor anyone." Wen Du was drunk and smiled.

"Old man, it's late, a glass of water and wine, I wish you a smooth journey!" Meng Yan picked up a glass of water and wine, and solemnly raised his hands flat.

"Okay, thank you!" Wen Dudrunk reached out and took it.

"Stone, I know you are ambitious, but what I want to remind you is not to be deceived by appearances, don't be overjoyed, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, officialdom is unpredictable, I didn't have courage back then, and now I have even less courage." Wen Du drunk.

"I remember, old man!" Meng Yan nodded, what the old man said was all good words.

"Also, Xiaoyu, her mother passed away when she was a child, and I raised her alone, so you have to take care of some places."

"Old man, don't worry, only she bullied me, not me." Meng Yan smiled indifferently.

"Haha, okay, I won't say more, it's time to sail, it's time for me to go." Wen Du drunk.

"Thank you, old man!" Wen Dudrunk turned around and got on the boat, the boat boss ordered the boat to start, the boat slowly sailed away from the dock, Meng Yan bowed deeply to Wen Dudrunk who was standing at the bow of the boat.

On the shore, Wen Xiaoyu's eyes were red and tears flowed, although her father did not live under the same roof with her, but as long as they wanted to see her, it was still very easy, but this time, it was more than half a year, which made her feel a little unbearable.

The big ship was gone, out of sight.

"Let's go, let's go back." Looking at Wen Dudrunk's departure, Meng Yan was also a little stunned, if it weren't for himself, Wen Dudrunk would not have to go to such a far place at such an old age.

"Miss Suxin, the official still has some questions for you, do you have time now?" Meng Yan hugged Wen Xiaoyu and walked to the carriage, and as he walked, he asked Bai Suxin, who was following closely.

"Plain heart is free!"

"Then let's go back to Songhe Tower, I'll just send Xiaoyu back." Meng Yan nodded, for Xi'er's situation, Meng Yan felt that it was necessary to talk carefully with Bai Suxin.

The ancients said that death is great, and death is the crime, for the dead, we must maintain a kind of respect, Bai Suxin may abide by such a principle, since Xi'er is dead, even if she has committed a crime, she has repaid it, and for the other side of Xi'er, she chose to hide it.

This is a good character, but it poses a huge obstacle to the investigation of the case, and it must be removed. (To be continued......)
