The woman walked out of Zhenjiang Hutong and headed north, and Meng Yan hung all the way to see where she was going.

The woman was very vigilant and experienced, and every ten meters she walked, she would look back, and after making sure that no one was following, she would walk forward again.

All the way to the north, the speed of walking was not slow, and it actually took half an hour.

Meng Yan was quite surprised when he saw it, this woman actually came to Jiaozhongfang, and the people who lived here were all important ministers in the court, lower than the fourth-rank officials, and they were not qualified to buy a house in Jiaozhongfang.

The woman entered a dark path, and came to a small door with a familiar car, looking at the small door, I don't know which prominent official house in the court was.

Meng Yan was shocked in his heart, this woman named Qin Xiaoya is afraid that her identity is not simple!

Meng Yan hid behind an apricot tree on the side of the road, almost seven or eight meters away, and just looked at the other party's back.

After about ten seconds, there was a loud noise, and the small door was opened from the inside.

"The girl is here?"

"Well, has the old man rested?"

"Not yet, I'm waiting for the girl!" The servant whispered.

Qin Xiaoya dodged and quickly sank into the small door, and the servant who opened the door poked his head out and looked around, and quickly closed the door.

Meng Yan observed, and estimated that this Qin Xiaoya would not come out for a while, so he quickly detoured to the main gate of this big village.

"Hu Fu!"

Looking at the specifications of the construction of the gate, at least they must be senior officials of the third rank or above, and the senior officials of the court and the central government with the surname "Hu" have gone through Meng Yan's mind one by one.

Who could it be?

After Meng Yan returned to Beijing, he had been doing his homework, at least the chief officials of all the ministries and yamen of the DPRK and the Central Committee had a little understanding, so as not to bump into him, but he didn't know that this was in the Ming Dynasty, not his original era.

Meng Yan didn't think much about it, but just remembered the location of this "Hu Mansion", such a large mansion, it shouldn't be difficult to inquire about the owner.

I also returned to the tree behind the small gate in the backyard of "Hu Mansion".

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the small door was opened again, and a woman dressed in black walked out briskly from inside.

Meng Yan recognized that this was Qin Xiaoya, the scholar woman he had followed all the way.

Looking at Qin Xiaoya leaving, Meng Yan didn't continue to follow, it was meaningless, he paid a little attention tonight, and what he got was far beyond his expectations.

"Your Excellency!"

"Hmm!" Meng Yan changed into a brocade guard robe, passed by the gate of the South Ya, and the wrestlers on duty nodded to him one after another.

Jin Yiwei's waist card and Guo Nu's personal approval of the guard allowed him to travel unhindered in the Nanya, even in the middle of the night, no one dared to stop him.

In the deepest part of Nanya, the light in the room where Jinyi Wei commanded Tongzhi Guo Nu was still on, and it was estimated that the person had not rested.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Come in!" Guo Nu's voice came from inside.

"Lord Guo, it's so late, and you haven't rested yet?" Meng Yan pushed the door in, saw Guo Nu still working under the lamp, and stepped forward to ask for warmth.

"I'm back, how are things going?"

"It's okay, but this expert is in Mingshifang, if this Qin Xiaoya takes the initiative to report the case early tomorrow morning, she should go to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, we are not the first person to take the case?" Meng Yan Road.

"It's our Jinyi Guard's people who died, or a deputy Qianhu, this is a big case, can the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division handle this case?" Guo sneered angrily.

"Even if the Dongcheng Terracotta Division can't handle this case, they will definitely send someone to investigate it as soon as possible, and then they will report it to our Jinyi Guard, and if this case is intercepted by the people of Beiya, won't we have lost all our efforts?"

"It's not that simple, it's my Nanya's people who died, and Beiya can intervene if he wants to, but if he wants to lead the case, he can't do it!" Guo Nu sneered, "Lu Zhong of Beiya is still a character, and the others are straw bales!" ”

"Master Guo, Meng Yan has a question in his heart?" Meng Yan didn't think so, but he didn't want to say it to his face.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I, Meng Yan, are not related to you, why do you help me so much?" Meng Yan has a sense of uncertainty about Guo Nu's attitude, and it stands to reason that even if Guo Nu wants to fight for power or for his own interests, he should not help himself like this.

Judging by the signs, he is simply protecting himself!

"You really want to know?" Guo Nu raised his head, put down the pen in his hand and asked.

Meng Yan nodded seriously.

"Actually, I am an old friend of your father and have known each other for many years......" Guo Nu squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a little reminiscence.

"It's normal that you're a colleague with him, and you've known him for many years."

"You think I'm just a colleague with your father?" Guo said angrily.

"Is there anything else you have to do with each other?" Meng Yan was taken aback, although the two were in the same system, there should be no intersection in the influence.

"When I was a Han general with your father, every time I was on duty in the palace, I slept in a room and a bed, you say, what is our relationship?"

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, Dad and Guo Nu were actually good friends back then?

Why have you never heard him mention it, with such a good friend as a backer, it won't be so miserable?

Could it be that the two of them broke up because of something and turned against each other? Daddy's stinky fart, it's really possible.

"You understand now, why am I doing this to you?" Guo Nu smiled and said.

"Master Guo, why have I never heard my father mention this, you are so good, but my father is so miserable, this makes no sense?"

"Your father is too upright, he is more serious in everything, he refuses to bow his head, he offends too many people, since he has a lame foot, he can't be a Han general, and our relationship has become estranged, and later, I went to Nanya, and he ...... in Beiya"

"I didn't expect there to be so many stories in this!" Meng Yan also heard of this for the first time.

"What about my father's death......"

"This is indeed a drowning death, I have read the autopsy report that I made, and I have also checked the corpse, and there is no doubt." Guo said angrily.

"With my father's water nature, he can't drown!"

"Haven't you heard of the drowning of the good water?"

"Yes, I understand, but I still don't believe it, my father is ...... his water" Meng Yan didn't seem to be arguing with Guo Nu on this issue, anyway, Meng Xian's death, he would definitely go back to investigate.

"Your temperament is the same as your father's, you would rather bend than bend, you don't believe my words alone, about your father's drowning dossier, I secretly copied a copy, I'll give it to you when I go back, you can also take it to check the bottom file with the experience department, compare!" Guo Nu said unhappily.

"Thank you, Master Guo!" Meng Yan said, "It's not that I don't believe in Master Guo, it's just that as a son of man, if this matter is not clarified, I will never be at ease for the rest of my life." ”

"Well, what you said also makes sense!" Guo Nu nodded.

Meng Yan glanced at Guo Nu quietly, Guo Nu quietly kept Meng Xian's death file on file, which made him have a trace of suspicion, if it was indeed drowned, Guo Nu didn't have to keep a file, but he left a file, obviously, he was afraid that he also had some suspicions.

Of course, he may not fully believe Guo Nu's words, and he will definitely investigate this matter, including the relationship between his father and Guo Nu.

"This night, you are also tired, go and rest, I asked someone to bring you the cover roll, it is in the room where you live, but there is no charcoal stove, I am afraid that it will be a little cold at night, and I will get one for you tomorrow." Guo Nu commanded.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Meng Yan said, "Master Guo, do you have any wine here?" ”

"It's cold, I've prepared it for you, in your room, but it's not allowed to drink too much, and it's not allowed to drink too much and go crazy!" Guo Nu reminded.

"I know, thank you, Master Guo!"

Meng Yan didn't mention Qin Xiaoya's matter, although Guo Nu's explanation was very convincing, but people's hearts are separated from each other, even if they are completely trusted, everyone will leave some secrets in their hearts, which cannot be shared with anyone.

Not even intimate lovers.

Meng Yan didn't think of anything else, and it was the most urgent thing to settle down.

Therefore, he can only choose Guo Nu, a big tree that seems to be able to rely on, at least for now, this person can still be relied on.

Guo Nu didn't think as much as Meng Yan, he also thought that an eighteen-year-old young man would have such a deep city, and if Menda died, this would inevitably be a sensational case for the government and the opposition, and how he should deal with the aftermath was what he was urgently considering.

About the fourth watch, a big drum in front of the door of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division was beaten, and the deputy commander on duty, Luo Gang, ran out with his pants in his pants.

When I came out and saw that it was actually two women who beat the drum to report the crime, my face suddenly turned red.

"Two girls, why are you drumming?"

"Someone died in the house!" Qin Xiaoya was very indifferent, but the maid Xiaocui looked like she was overly frightened, shivering in the cold wind.

"There is someone dead in the family, you should look for the chief, or find a servant, why did you come to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses?" Luo Gang was puzzled.

"The little girl's family lives in Zhenjiang Hutong, and she has opened a bookstore, and she usually meets friends with her writing......" Qin Xiaoya said slowly.

"Wait a minute, this useless nonsense will be talked about later, you can sue me, who is the one who died?" Luo Gang immediately understood what was going on, this Qin Xiaoya was a secret prostitute, and the deceased person was naturally a prostitute, but this was a life lawsuit.

The little woman was afraid that she also knew, so she didn't dare to run, so she took the maid and surrendered herself.

"Jinyi Weinan Town, Deputy Thousand Households, Menda!"

"What, Jinyiwei, or a deputy Qianhu?" Luo Gang's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

"My lord, my lord......" A group of subordinates hurriedly helped Luo Gang up.

"Quick, report to the commander, and, immediately notify Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, go quickly!" Luo Gang ordered sharply with red eyes.

"Lock these two women up first, inform the servants, and go to the scene!"

"Yes!"

Before long, dozens of soapmen and soldiers of the Terracotta Division rushed out of it, and a black whirlwind blew in the quiet street.
