In the past, when doing tasks, arresting people, and interrogating, Meng Yan's favorite thing was to observe the person he wanted to interrogate through the one-way glass.

People's subconscious movements, eyes, can best reflect his true thoughts at the moment, if in front of people, he will still hide this qiē, but if a person is alone, he will completely let go.

In the cell, the unkempt He Wenhai was lying on a straw mat, covered with a quilt with cotton wool exposed.

The cold in his cell made him curl his legs.

There was a trace of confusion and despair in his eyes, he had been locked up for so long, except for Meng Yanlai, who had interrogated him once, no one else had come to see him.

His heart at the moment should be mixed with a trace of despair and a hint of expectation, looking forward to regaining freedom.

He must have heard the footsteps just now, and Meng Yan saw his head move slightly, and obviously noticed it.

But no one came in for so long, and maybe his heart sank again at the moment.

Meng Yan deliberately shook the key in his hand, making a string of clanging sounds.

He Wenhai moved, he got up from the straw mat, sat up, brushed the messy hair in front of his eyes, and looked towards the prison door.

He saw Meng Yan, and Meng Yan also saw him.

He Wenhai opened his shriveled lips slightly, and did not make a sound, and Meng Yan also looked at the other party coldly, and also did not speak.

"Meng, Lord Meng......"

He Wenhai finally recognized the owner of the eyes outside the door, and he shouted.

The key in Meng Yan's hand was inserted into the keyhole and twisted. The iron lock opened, and the iron door was pushed open.

"Grass people He Wenhai knock to see Lord Meng!" He Wenhai stepped forward in three steps, staggered, and knelt at Meng Yan's feet.

"He Wenhai, how does this prison feel?" Meng Yan didn't let him get up, but walked over, stood behind him, pinned his hands behind his waist, turned his face slightly, and asked slowly.

"Returning to Lord Meng. The grass people have never been in jail. There has never been a day like this. He Wenhai said.

"Is this what is in your heart?"

"Words from the heart, my lord, there is a lie, He Wen Haitian hit five thunders!" He Wenhai cursed.

"You've done a lot of things. The killings are light. It's possible to get the three tribes wrong. Meng Yan said.

"Lord Meng. You must save me, I am old and young. If I die, how will their orphans and widows live? ”

"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, you helped He Wendong, but he pulled you into the water, this day is sooner or later." Meng Yan sighed and said.

"Lord Meng, what are you talking about, the grass people don't understand?" He Wenhai was stunned for a moment, and said in a little panic.

"Why, it's all at this point, and you still want to hide it from this official?" Meng Yan asked coldly.

"Lord Meng, the grass people are just a broker, just recruiting some buyers for their brother, isn't this a crime?"

"You knew that your brother He Wendong was selling stolen goods, but you not only didn't report it, but concealed it for him, and helped him sell stolen goods, and you also know the source of these stolen goods, right?"

"Grass people, grass people......"

"He Wenhai, this qiē you did is actually not a secret, if you didn't have the umbrella of Dongchang behind you, I'm afraid you would have been arrested a long time ago." Meng Yan said, "And if something happens, it's all the bad luck of you people who do specific things, and those people spend a little bit of energy at most looking for an agent." ”

"Lord Meng, Lord Meng...... "He Wenhai was really scared, indeed, if something happens, they are the ones who handle it, and they have nothing to do with those people in the palace, and it is not easy to find an agent after the rumors.

"Why, don't you believe what this official said?" Meng Yan said with a smile, "Your brother was arrested, but someone came forward to save you, and what they thought of was to cut off all the relations with you, and then push you out." ”

"No, no, Master Meng, you must save me, you must save me!"

"If you don't say anything, how can this official save you?" Meng Yan felt that the heat was almost over, and if He Wenhai didn't tell the truth, there would only be a dead end.

"I said, I said, Master Meng, I'll explain everything......" He Wenhai said these words, and he was also relieved.

"Very good, what you two brothers have done, let's talk about it later, the official wants to know Xi'er's past, can you tell the official in detail?" Meng Yan asked.

"Xi'er was bought by me when she was eight years old, this girl is very smart, my wife likes it very much, so she stayed by her side, originally intended to let her serve the son of the grass people, but, my twin brother came back, and he took a fancy to Xi'er at a glance, saying that he wanted Xi'er to go to his house, first raised, and then put it into a private house when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, I saw this, just a little girl, so I discussed it with my wife, and sent Xi'er and the deed of sale to He Wendong's house, and then I never saw Xi'er again, I heard that he brought Xi'er to the capital, That's all I know! He Wenhaixu said.

"You really never saw Xi'er again?" Meng Yan asked.

"Really, Xi'er hasn't come back since she went to the capital, how can I see it?" He Wenhai asked innocently.

"You haven't been to the capital?"

"No, not once!" He Wenhai emphasized.

"Can you show me your left foot?" Meng Yan Road.

"Yes, sir, please see!" He Wenhai got up from the ground, lifted his trouser legs, and raised his left foot.

Meng Yan glanced at it and said, "Take two steps and show it to the official." ”

"Yes!" He Wenhai stood up straight and walked up in front of Meng Yan.

"Go back and forth, if the official doesn't shout to stop, you don't stop!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Yes!"

After walking back and forth seven or eight times, He Wenhai felt a little dizzy himself, and Meng Yan ordered him to stop.

"He Wenhai, you lied!" Meng Yan stared coldly at He Wenhaidao.

"My lord, the grass people really didn't lie!" He Wenhai's face was pale with fright, and his eyes were frightened.

"Just now your left foot has a casual trembling foot behavior, and your left foot is good, why do you have trembling feet, because you have deliberately learned the way your eldest brother He Wendong walks, and for a long time, this habitual action left behind, of course, this may also be that you are too nervous in front of me, but the official did not find this kind of trembling foot action from your right foot, so the official concluded that you lied, you have not only been to the capital, but also many times!" Meng Yan Road.

"Master Meng......" He Wenhai was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground at once.

"You and your eldest brother are twin brothers, if it weren't for He Wendong's lameness, I'm afraid it would be difficult to distinguish between you two brothers, so you can use He Wendong's identity to come to the capital, because it is not difficult for a normal person to pretend to be lame, and it is not easy to detect, but it is difficult for a lame person to pretend to be a normal person, right?"

"Lord Meng's eyes are like torches, and the grass people are convinced!" He Wenhai sighed and finally admitted it.

"Why did you pretend to be your brother and come to the capital?" Meng Yan asked, "Can you explain the doubts of this official?" ”

"It was the sixth year of orthodoxy, my brother He Wendong returned home and suddenly fell ill with heavy soldiers, but at that time, Jiao Hong sent a message to ask my brother to enter Beijing, there is a big business to do, my brother is sick in bed, unable to make the trip, so I thought of letting me go to Beijing to see Jiao Hong instead of him, although Jiao Hong has a close relationship with my brother, he didn't recognize me, but my identity was recognized by Xi'er!"

"Jiao Hong doesn't know about your relationship with He Wendong's twin brothers?"

"He knows that my brother and I are twin brothers, but he has never met me, and I know my brother very well and knows what is going on between them, so I imitate my brother, and outsiders can rarely find out." He Wenhai explained.

Meng Yan nodded, He Wenhai's explanation is not impossible, sometimes even relatives may not be able to distinguish twin brothers. (The author has such an experience, there is a pair of twin brothers in our village, I don't recognize them at all, which of them is the elder brother and which is the younger brother)

"Six years of orthodoxy, Xi'er should be thirteen years old, right?" Meng Yan asked.

"Yes, this girl is different from a boy, I haven't seen Xi'er for almost five years, her appearance has changed a lot, she is a beautiful person!" He Wenhai recalled.

"Xi'er recognized you, didn't she report you to Jiao Hong?"

"No, I don't know how Xi'er recognized me, she didn't tell anyone, she didn't tell Jiao Hong about me, she told me a lot about Jiao Hong and Baifu." He Wenhai said, "And this, she didn't even say my brother He Wendong." ”

"Why is that?"

"Xi'er said that He Wendong had bad intentions for her, and that Jiao Hong was too, often peeping at Miss Bai taking a bath, and spreading rumors everywhere, saying bad things about Miss Bai, and finally Miss Bai was forced to live in the store and went home very well."

Meng Yan nodded, this is a very powerful proof of Bai Suxin's kind and simple character.

"Xi'er said that she wanted to leave the Bai family and asked me to help her, and also said that as long as I took her out of the capital, she was willing to make me a small one."

"Did you say yes?"

"I didn't dare to agree, because I used the identity of my brother He Wendong, and rashly took Xi'er away, if I let Jiao Hong know, with his power in the capital, I'm afraid that the two of us will be caught by him before they leave the capital."

"What you really care about is that big business, right?"

"There is a little bit, that business is really big, doing it once is almost enough for me to earn for three years, I don't want to lose a big one because of a small one, so I pretended to agree to consider it, negotiated the business with Jiao Hong, and I left the capital immediately."

"Before you left the capital, you didn't see Xi'er?"

"I didn't dare to see her, but she didn't dare to tell Jiao Hong my true identity, and at that time, I also got the news that my brother had recovered."

"Later, Jiao Hong still knew about me for my brother, and then, my brother often let me go to Beijing, and I also had the opportunity to see Xi'er often, and the two of us got along!" (To be continued......)
