The matter came to an end for the time being, and it was late at night, and Governor Li asked everyone to go home.

Mei Xiaoren, Ye Zhi and Xingyun left the Li Mansion together.

Ye Zhi had no dealings with Chu Yu, and he didn't have much impression of Xingyun, Mei Xiaoren only said that Xingyun was a scholar of Wei University, and nothing else.

When they left the house, they happened to meet two servants who dragged a weak-looking servant girl out of the door and threw her at the end of the wall.

Mei Xiaoren was puzzled, so he asked the little guy who came back, "This is"

"Lord Hui, this new maidservant has made a mistake, and Madame has ordered her to be expelled from the house."

Mei Xiaoren found that the maid was not only kicked out, but also beaten.

Although she didn't know it, she looked at the woman pitiful, and wanted to come forward to ask a few words, but suddenly found that the maid who was kicked out was the person who had knocked over the wine jug before.

"How are you?"

The maidservant leaned weakly against the corner of the wall, and when she heard the voice, she slowly looked up at Mei Xiaoren.

Could it be that the servant girl was punished like this because she overturned the flask?

Mei Xiaoren squatted down and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

The maid turned her face and said lightly: "Don't ask, my lord, I am to blame for the way I look, as long as the adult does not disappoint Sister Qingying." ”

"Qingying" Mei Xiaoren was quite impressed by this name.

The maidservant closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to say anything more to her.

If it's really because of a trivial matter, then this kind of treatment is too heavy.

Mei Xiaoren sympathizes with the servant, but she can't take in the people who were kicked out by the Li Mansion, otherwise she will be against Lao Li.

She put some money in the woman's hand and got up to leave.

After a while, it began to rain.

The handmaid was still leaning against the wall, soaking wet, when suddenly she had an umbrella on her head.

She turned her eyes to look, "Sister Qingying." ”

Qingying handed the maidservant a burden and said, "This is the luggage you brought into the house, and the housekeeper asked me to bring it to you." ”

Qingying squatted down, wiped the water on her face with a handkerchief, and asked, "I made Xiao Lin's plan fall through, don't you blame me for hurting you"

"Sister Qingying, you're right, my lord, he's really a good person." The maidservant shook her head and sighed blankly, still holding the silver in her hand.

"I have passed on the news, someone will come to pick you up in a while, you go back to Shanyuefang to recuperate first."

"Sister Qingying, I heard that Miss Xiao Lin is the first to appear, you have to be careful." The maidservant admonished, and said, "That day, you asked me to lead Miss to Shanyuefang to listen to their conversation, and later you also found out the whereabouts of Master Mei from the gang, and let me try to tell Miss that although Miss didn't know that there was you, Xiao Lin and Gao Tongzhi knew that you were the owner of the boat, and now that they know that Miss has been there, how can they not guess your head, in case they go to the fourth master to sue you for betrayal."

"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry." Qingying stood up expressionlessly, said no more, and turned around and went back to the house.

The rain was pouring down, most of the people in the house were asleep, and only Mei Xiaoren and Xingyun were still talking under the corridor of the back garden.

It turned out that Chu Yu asked her not to say or do it because he had already arranged it.

Li Qingqing chased her to the foot of Jinzhou Mountain in order to find her, so he sent someone to find Li Qingqing and asked Xiao Lin and Gao Jingshu from Qingqing.

There is no other witness in this case except Li Qingqing, and Li Qingqing broke Xiao Lin and Gao

Jingshu talked in the land of wind and moon, Qingqing is a lady after all, if Qingqing comes forward to testify, it will damage the reputation of the girl.

If you want to expose the conspiracy, if you can't sue it, then deceive.

Chu Yu already knew the ins and outs of the bandits when she was in a coma, and knew that the robbery of Liu's Mansion was the beginning of everything.

Chu Yu sent Xingyun to Xuanzhou, not only to send her back, but also to ask Xingyun to check the recent situation of Liu's mansion, but after Liu's mansion was bandited, not only was the existing business not affected, but also inexplicably added a silk village.

After confirming that the Liu Mansion had colluded with the mountain bandits, Xingyun wanted to act according to the master's prior instructions, and chose the wonderful opportunity for Xiao Lin to go to the Li Mansion, coupled with Li Qingqing's help, there was a show last night.

The place was found by Li Qingqing, and the subordinates who went to invite Xiao Lin and the prefect were also sent by Li Qingqing, so she should really thank Qingqing.

Chu Yu's plan did not let Li Qingqing testify, and Qingqing risked losing his reputation to testify, which was Qingqing's own idea. How could she not be grateful.

But in fact, there are people behind this matter who are helping her.

What Xingyun asked from Li Qingqing was that it was not a coincidence that Li Qingqing went to Shanyuefang, but someone stuffed a note to Qingqing on the street, saying that Shanyuefang had her whereabouts.

After Li Qingqing went, not only was he not hindered, but someone answered, Qingqing dressed up as a dancing girl, and hid outside the bead curtain and heard the conversation between Xiao Lin and Gao Jingshu.

At that time, Li Qingqing only heard Xiao Lin say that she was trapped in Jinzhou, so he sent someone to send a message to the officials, that is, the anonymous message that Ye Zhi received on the road.

Li Qingqing was still not at ease, so he secretly followed him to Jinzhou on the grounds of going out of the city to worship the Buddha, but he received a note on the way, which said where she was trapped, so Qingqing went to the foot of the mountain.

Li Qingqing said that the handwriting of the two volumes of notes was the same, indicating that the same person was secretly delivering the message. That person should know the inside story but it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he borrowed Li Qingqing to help her get out of trouble.

After Mei Xiaoren knew this, he was thinking about who this person was, not only did he know that Li Qingqing knew her and would save her, but he also had the ability to take care of Shanyuefang, and more importantly, he knew about it and wanted to help her

Put it all together, and she really doesn't know who it is.

On the afternoon of the second day, Mei Xiaoren met Xiao Lin in the government prison.

The government jail is better than the county jail, the place is big, and it is not so dark, but the people who are locked up here are not guilty of light, either serious criminals who have been taken from the county government to await review, or death row prisoners who are waiting to be escorted to the criminal department for final trial.

Xiao Lin's case has not yet been officially opened, and it is still unknown whether he will live or die in the end.

Mei Xiaoren stood outside the cell in official uniform, while Xiao Lin inside was wearing a white prison uniform and sitting cross-legged on the tattered low table.

Xiao Lin didn't pay attention to anyone, Mei Xiaoren didn't speak, they were opposite each other inside and out, but their identities were already very different.

In fact, her family and her uncle's family have a grudge, but it is not deep, not to the point where either you or I die.

Xiao Lin fell into such a situation, it was not what she wanted, she couldn't bear to kill each other, and she couldn't help but ask, if Xiao Lin knew who she was, would he still attack her

Governor Li asked her to write Xiao Lin's accusations, she thought about it all night last night, and when she came to the mansion this morning, she laid a blank sheet of paper on the bookcase, but she didn't write a word when she picked up the pen many times.

She sat like this all morning, and the paper was still white before she came here.

She thought that if her cousin wrote about her cousin's sins, and personally beat her cousin into the land of no return, if the ancestor knew, she was afraid that she would be mad.

So she decided to let Xiao Lin write it herself.
