Chapter 137: One Breath

When Mei disappeared, Lin Qiantan, Zhou Yi and a few others followed some existing clues and searched for a night. Unknowingly, I found a place near the city gatehouse.

As the hours passed, Lin Qiantan's heart became more and more uneasy.

The guards who were supposed to protect Mei were also ashamed. They were also hired to stay with Mei. But over time, they couldn't help but feel that Mei was just a little girl, and they really needed to bother and work hard wherever they could.

They also treat Mei as having some gambling debts and so on.

If not, how can someone take advantage of the opportunity.

They are also very attentive to make up for their mistakes. No one complained about working at night, looking for people all over the city.

Lin Qiantan also sent a message, and the eyeliner of the shop under the name also moved, and she herself went to the place where Mei was last seen.

She sprinkled the money and asked people everywhere, but there were times when the money didn't work, and when she asked, it was only a child who said that he had seen Mei being taken into a normal carriage, and then drove away......

Treat Mei as docile, and she looks like a bit of a bad person, where will she offend people? If you want to say who will have the motive to make a move on Mei, Lin Qiantan has always believed that only Yin Wei would do these things.

But the more the days passed, the more Lin Qiantan felt that there must be something she had missed. Yin Wei made a move, using all some yin tricks, He Zeng openly called people to intercept and kill.

As Zhou Yi said, in this world, those who deliberately kill people, if they are not seeking revenge, are basically extinguished. Where is Zhimei, whose eyes are in the way, being targeted?

The moon in the sky had risen in mid-sky, and the wind was cold on a cloudless autumn night. There were few passers-by walking on the street for a long time, and the city was full of soldiers patrolling the city.

This group of them has already encountered several rounds of checks.

Zhou Yi also persuaded Lin Qiantan to go back first: "You are in the Hou Mansion, there are so many people waiting to grab your braids and trouble you." In this matter, you go back and wait for news. "She's a big girl, and she's walking outside this big night......

Lin Qiantan stubbornly disagreed.

Lin Qiantan said: "If I don't deal with Mei's affairs personally, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life."

As for the Lin family, she is not something that can be bullied casually. What's more, when she came out, she had already let people say that she went to the Chu family.

Zhou Yi didn't say much, Lin Qiantan was not happy, so he called someone to go to the Chu family. Lin Qiantan also knew what Zhou Yi meant, since he didn't return at night because he stayed at his grandfather's house, he had to make a confession.

On the Chu family's side, Chu Yan and Chu Jiang's father and son were shocked when they received Lin Qiantan's transmission, and they didn't know how Lin Qiantan ran out at night. Chu Jiang immediately put on his clothes, and had to follow the people sent by Zhou Yi and take the people of the Chu family to find Lin Qiantan.

Lin Qiantan and Zhou Yi were long gone, and even the little guy who went to run errands couldn't figure out where Lin Qiantan and Zhou Yi went.

It is also a coincidence that Wang Pu was drinking with people in the restaurant that night until midnight, when he was a little drunk and walked over to the window to blow the wind, Lin Qiantan was sitting in the car and opened the window and walked past him.

He almost thought that he had drunk too much alcohol and was hallucinating, and that he was looking at the wrong person.

But after squinting and taking a closer look, the person below is really Lin Qiantan, and there is nothing wrong.

He didn't know what kind of mentality he had, but he swayed a little and stood up straight, and shouted in the direction of Lin Qiantan.

The night was also very quiet. His shout was very obvious, Lin Qiantan heard the voice, raised her head and looked at the high place above, and saw Wang Pu who was leaning on the railing and smiling a little. The blue clothes are so heavy that people can smell them even a foot away.

If they usually meet, Lin Qiantan may stop and talk to Wang Pu. But at this time, she couldn't find Mei, and she didn't have too much heart to talk to Wang Pu, she just wanted to say hello and leave.

Lin Qiantan said: "If the son is fine, I will leave first, and then come back to make amends with the son next time."

Wang Pu insisted on asking, but Wang Yuanzhao explained to him when he left, and took more care of Lin Qiantan in everything. Wang Yuanzhao's little thought Wang Pu also knew that since he was a woman secretly longed for by his friend, coupled with the private cooperation between Lin Qiantan and Wang Yuanzhao, he, as Wang Yuanzhao's friend and strategist, was obliged to help Lin Qiantan when he was in need.

In fact, there was a bit of commotion downstairs just now, and Wang Pu could be regarded as hearing the conversation of some people below, at this moment, Lin Qiantan said the matter of waiting for Mei in a few words, and Wang Pu knew even more in his heart.

It is said that there is always a way for many things to hit. Lin Qiantan would never have thought that such a person she met in this place would really know some of the whereabouts of Zhimei.

Although Wang Pu drank and drank a little unconscious, he could still clearly distinguish the memory fragments in his mind.

He went to Wang's house to visit Xia Sanniang and Wang Dagou, and he did vaguely hear one or two sentences.

The old Yan Guogong Wang Qun is a frequent visitor to the mansion of Xia Sanniang, the wife of the Wang family, in private. And Lin Qiantan said that the nurse's home is not living next to the Wang family?

Wang Pu paused, filtered some things in his heart, and sifted through them. What can be said and what can't be said...... Finally, he asked meaningfully: "...... Have you ever heard a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place? In the second year of Tianlong, bandits were rampant in Tongzhou, and the governor at that time personally led the army to look for people all over the mountains, and the thieves swaggered to hide in the city. Sometimes, the more impossible it is, the more likely it is. ”

Wang Pu also has his own position, he knows some things, but he can't say it, and he won't reveal a word. This passage was already the most part he could tell Lin Qiantan.

He said, "...... Don't you know that when people sit at home and the pot comes from heaven, who can say for sure about luck? Maybe Miss Mei just happened to break through someone else's cheating and adultery, and she was hated. ”

Lin Qiantan was in a hurry, and she didn't have the heart to guess riddles with a drunk person there, and listen to him talk nonsense here and there. Originally, she couldn't help but turn around and leave regardless of it, but she was suddenly said by Wang Pu to feel a little empowered.

She and Zhou Yi took a large number of people to follow the "clues" to find people, but they didn't think that maybe the people who took away to stay with Mei didn't go far at all.

"Uncle Zhou." Lin Qiantan took Zhou Yi and left: "Then the He family, we haven't searched carefully."

Zhou Yi was also stunned when he heard Wang Pu's words, and as soon as Lin Qiantan said it, he immediately reacted to the meaning of Lin Qiantan's words. According to this statement, have they not been diverted from the mountain?

This time, Lin Qiantan and Wang Pu sincerely said thank you, and then turned to leave. However, when Zhou Yi was leaving, he seemed to have some thoughts in his heart, and he looked back at Wang Pu thoughtfully......

In the air, Wang Pu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and his drunkenness was very obvious. Zhou Yi didn't have time to think about it, and in front of him, Lin Qiantan had already walked out a lot of steps. Wang Pu stood there, watching Lin Qiantan gradually walk away, but suddenly recited the verses.

It was a song written by one of his ancestors before the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, and it was sung down.

*

Lin Qiantan returned to the He family at night, which was something that the He family did not expect at all. The He family felt guilty because they lost someone, and because they were afraid of being held accountable afterwards, they were planning to pack up their valuables overnight. Leave at night. They were also afraid that they didn't get the hot money, but they would be retaliated against by Miss Lin.

On the table, the happy egg sent by Mei was still placed there intact. In the living room, the He family walked around, but no one looked there!

Lin Qiantan broke in.

No matter what the He family says, it is also a private house. How could the men of the He family be willing to ask Lin Qiantan to break in and forcibly search, even if the He family is a thief in their hearts, they have to argue a few words: "Miss Seven, how can you rely on the momentum of the Hou Mansion to forcibly break into the house!" As he spoke, the He family, who had not reacted for a while, had already stepped forward and pushed into a fight with a group of people who had entered the house.

When Lin Qiantan heard this, she couldn't help but sneer: "Breaking into a private house? I just broke in, what can you do to me? Besides, who told you that I was fighting the power of the Hou Mansion? ”

The man of the He family thought that the person behind Lin Qiantan was the Chu family, so he thought about it and said: "Even if you are a member of the Chu family, I dare to sue you!" Is there no royal law in this world? How can the door of my house be the one you say you can come and go?! ”

Several members of the He family were still blocking there, not allowing a group of people who followed Lin Qiantan to go in and arrest them.

Lin Qiantan raised her face and kicked at the man of the He family, kicking the person so much that he didn't stand still subconsciously and fell out, and then said: "If you want to sue the official, just go, Zheng Hao, give me a shot!" I'd like to see who dares to stop me! ”

As he spoke, he began to move......

The He family is also fierce, but in the end, they are weak in their hearts, and when Mei Hao came in alone, he disappeared. Even the nephew of the Chen family couldn't be found......

If this is just an ordinary disappearance or something, what if it's fine? I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there's something wrong. They're going to get in big trouble. Otherwise, why should we roll up and cover it......

The He family couldn't say anything, their hearts were beating suddenly, and they always felt that something bad was about to happen. In a group of He family members, especially a young woman who looked young, she was particularly flustered when she saw this......

She knows the truth.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Chen Dayou gives the silver, which is just a set. This little daughter-in-law of the He family who just entered the door is the other set. There was a group of people who gave her more silver than Chen Dayou, and only told her to cooperate, and when the time came, Chen Dayou died without proof, and the hundred taels of silver belonged to her.

The little daughter-in-law was thinking about this. Lin Qiantan and Zhou Yi had already led a group of people to break open the He family's houses that were said to be used to store sundries, and there was no one on the ground, so they even pried open the cellar used to store wine, and finally found two people lying motionless on the ground inside......

And all around, there is blood and water.

Lin Qiantan only felt that her pupils contracted the moment she saw the scene inside, even if she didn't use candles to illuminate, she could tell that the girl lying in the pool of blood in the dark cellar of the He family was a maid who had been with her for many years.

*

In the middle of the night, in a large room of the Yan Guo Mansion, several strong men with blood and blood were kneeling in front of an old man, telling the story of the previous half a day.

The one who was the first one was the man who wanted to kill her when Mei saw her, but he still talked to her for a long time.

Although the man looked stout, under the illumination of this light, he was a little gentle, he restrained his murderous aura, and reported to his master that the matter was done.

The man who was there to paint there holding a pen in spite of his age that night was the owner of the previous generation of the Yanguo Mansion, Wang Qun. I saw him sketch and draw, and what was painted on the paper was a picture of a pine tree.

Loose symbolizes fortitude and integrity, and Wang Qun has always liked it.

Wang Qun kept drawing while listening to the man's report to him, and only interrupted the man's words for a while: "With the skills of your brothers, how to kill a little girl, it will take a lot of work."

The man nodded, and did not find a reason for himself, Wang Qun just thought that he had also washed his hands and not done these things for many years, and was suddenly sent out, but it was not a strange means.

Wang Qun said again: "Well, maybe there are always some surprises." The waste he sent before always told him that the girl was guarded by someone, and he always didn't believe it.

This time, he simply called out his old subordinates, and sure enough, he succeeded once.

The man added, "As the master said, there are indeed some surprises." They are cattle knives, and Mei and Wang Dayou are the chickens that were killed. How many brothers are there, what's so hard about killing these two people?

It's just that he temporarily took pity on him, and deliberately stabbed the knife a little off, leaving a breath for Mei to breathe. He thought, whether this girl can survive or not depends on creation.

The man thought so to himself, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself. That's just a girl, no matter how much her master values her, is it possible that she really bothered to find someone for her?

Even if you find it, how can you think that the person you are looking for is under the land of the He family...... What else do you say, leave a glimmer of life. But in fact, it's not a slow knife to kill, maybe it will make that girl's death more painful.

It was not early in the night, and Wang Qun had nothing to say after asking what he should ask. Wait for Mei to see him meeting some people at Xia Sanniang's place that day.

Although, it's just a girl who hasn't seen the world, and even if she sees something, most of them don't know why.

However, he and Xia Sanniang still have big things to do in the future, this little girl, he thought about it, and he still killed it. It's a pity that the nursing homes of the Yan Guogong Mansion are too useless, and they can't even put a girl on the table. In addition, he sometimes has too many trivial matters, so he has simply dragged this matter until now.

A few men with flesh and blood just withdrew from Wang Qun's study, and they sneaked in at night, never thinking that anyone who knew their identity would see them.

Therefore, when they bumped into Wang Shanya, who was lying on a big rock at random, with the sky as the cover and the earth as a reed, they were not shocked?

Wang Shanya was equally surprised.

The few people in front of him were obviously a few old henchmen who his father didn't give out even if he passed the title to him, how could they appear in the Guogong Mansion on this big night......

Wang Shanya remained silent, just as if she didn't see anything, and casually let the person go, but then a carp jumped up, patted the dust on the buttocks, and walked towards his father Wang Qun's residence.

The lights were still on in his father's room in the middle of the night, and it seemed that he had found the brothers to do something in the past. Wang Shanya didn't look good, and she didn't need to be reported, so she walked straight in.

Wang Qun was not surprised that his son would touch him. Even when Wang Shanya asked him what he had asked someone to do, he didn't hide it: "It's just killing a little bug."

Wang Shanya knew what the people who had just gone out were for.

He was very disdainful in his eyes, even if he didn't have to ask, he knew that the so-called little worm that Wang Qun said was probably an innocent person who was in the way.

Wang Qun was a little impatient with his son, who had always been against him. If it weren't for this one son, how could he be ......

Wang Shanya sneered when she heard this: "My father has long said that he will retire in the back house of the mansion and don't ask about these outside things, how can he be active now?" And what did the woman on the street over there promise you to do all these errands again? "Sentence after sentence.

Wang Shanya didn't think that Wang Qun probably ran to contact Xia Sanniang, but he also deceived himself and told himself that his father had sworn a poisonous oath and said that he would no longer care about things related to the restoration of the Xia Dynasty.

Those few people who have been with Wang Qun for some years are those who came from some palace backgrounds when the Xia Dynasty was gone. These people have always been used by Wang Qun to support the old master and create a new country......

When Wang Qun heard this, he was furious: "What about this woman and that woman, don't think that if she condescends to give birth to a son with you, you can climb on her head and be a gentleman!" Is there a bit of dignity or inferiority?!

The father and son didn't say a few words, and they argued again, and finally naturally broke up. Wang Qun couldn't understand his son, and Wang Shanya didn't think that he could talk to Wang Qun, so Wang Shanya came out of Wang Qun and asked someone to inquire where those men had gone and what they had done......

After all, Wang Shanya is the master of this country's mansion, and the goal of the mission is not something that cannot be disclosed, and Wang Qun is not afraid of him to track it down.

Wang Shanya asked, and she knew who the unlucky person was this time.

He frowned, how could he kill Lin Qiantan, a little girl?!

*

After all, a few men were left to wait for Mei to breathe.

When Lin Qiantan found her, she really had the last trace of life left.

Lin Qiantan didn't look at Wang Dayou, who had already had a cold body on the side, and she didn't care about treating Mei with dirty blood all over her body. walked over and carefully helped Hou Mei up with his own hands, trembling to check for Mei Mei's injuries.

The people who followed her naturally knew how to hand over the torch, so that Lin Qiantan could see it more clearly.

But Lin Qiantan still came too late, and the breath of life in Zhimei became weaker and weaker. Although there is still a pulse, it is already one step away from death.

In the face of a catastrophe for someone who values it, even the top imperial doctor can't be completely calm and use his medical skills, not to mention, Lin Qiantan can only be regarded as a half-ass.

The heart in her chest was beating hard, but she tried to calm down, but when they came out, she thought of something that might happen. The medicine kit is always ready. There are also some precious medicines that are used to hang one's life during first aid.

The entourage was about to bring in the medical box, but the aunt of the He family made a fuss when she saw the body of her beloved nephew.

Lin Qiantan didn't seem to be affected at all, and Zhou Yi was also neat, and walked over with a knife......

In Lin Qiantan's eyes, there was only the righteous and gossamer in front of her.

"Wait for Mei, hold on, this good thing, even if you enter the ghost gate with one leg, it can pull you back! Lang Zhong is also on the way, and he will be there soon! Lin Qiantan tried to make her voice softer.

When Mei was held in her arms, her eyelids were so dizzy that she couldn't open them, so she could barely hear an echoing female voice from the void in the roar of her ears, knowing that it was her master who came. and said something to Lin Qiantan in her mosquito-like voice.

Jin He and the others covered their mouths vigorously, telling themselves not to cry, disturbing the treatment of Mei and Lin Qiantan over there, almost explaining their last words......

Lin Qiantan got closer, and knew some lip language, and vaguely knew that what Zhi Mei said was: "Miss, why did you come to ......?"

Lin Qiantan explained with a smile, but there were tears in her eyes, which made her vision blurry: "It's not that you said that you want to eat that thing for me, I didn't even eat dinner when I was hungry, no, I came to you on an empty stomach."

Zhimei seemed to laugh, but the facial movements were too weak and weak, so faint that people could barely see them.

The people here, even if they are not Lang Zhong, actually know that looking at the blood flowing in this room, it has been a long time since Zhimei was lying here and couldn't move, and the blood in her body is almost flowing, even if Lang Zhong comes, what can she do......

Waiting for Mei can't be saved.

In the cold cellar, Lin Qiantan accompanied Zhimei to say a few words occasionally, while trying to break the life-saving pill and feed her down, as if deceiving herself, thinking that Zhimei could still be saved.

But Mei knew that she had no hope, where would she believe Lin Qiantan's words to coax her! It's just that fortunately, before leaving this world, she can still see Lin Qiantan, and she is content.

But after thinking about it, Zheng Hao, that guy with no conscience, didn't know where he went, why didn't she hear his voice after a long time......
