When the moon was in the sky, Mei Xiaoren sat on the railing of the stone bridge, carrying the wine jar to the moon alone.

Half a jar of wine went into her throat, but it made her more and more sober.

She knew that he was the high-ranking prime minister, who had promoted the military generals who had a holiday with her to go to Beijing, who had indiscriminately taken Bishop Zhou away from the academy, and now wanted to reuse Gao Jingshu......

This is what she has personally experienced, and it can already make her heart ache like a pinprick, not to mention adding what traitors Jiang Rong said about taking power, killing Zhongliang indiscriminately, coveting the throne, and putting poisoned arrows on him.

In the end, she really doesn't know, Chu Yu, Gu Xiang, which one should she believe?

Mei Xiaoren put one foot on the bridge, stepped on the railing with one foot, sat on his knees, raised the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, wiped his mouth clean and said to himself: "I want to see how strong the wine can make me drunk." ”

When the wine altar bottomed out, Mei Xiaoren felt a little dizzy. The moon was reflected on the water, like a bronze mirror, but in her eyes it exploded into a star. There was silence around her, as if she was the only one left in the world.

There is no endless wine, and there is no sorrow to be clean.

She left the empty altar on the bridge and slowly moved her steps into the alley.

After Mei Xiaoren walked out of a distance, a figure walked up to the bridge, glanced at the wine jar left by Mei Xiaoren, and continued to follow.

Mei Xiaoren leaned against the wall and walked slowly, the things in her mind gradually blurred, she didn't want to think about anything anymore, she just wanted to go forward and go home.

She buried her head, not knowing who was passing by, or who was standing in front of her.

"Adult ......"

Mei Xiaoren was like she hadn't heard it, she just cared about moving forward, even if she was being supported, she was like in a dream, she didn't know who it was, whether it was good or bad.

"My lord, why are you so drunk?"

"Am I drunk? I'm not drunk. Mei Xiaoren beckoned, raised her head to look at the person who was helping her, and could barely see his appearance, "Old Ye, are you back?" ”

Ye knew: "I heard that the prefect had an accident, so I started to rush back, and I just arrived an hour ago." ”

With the support that Ye Zhi gave her, Mei Xiaoren said lightly: "Help me go back, I'm sleepy." ”

"Okay, sir, slow down." Ye Zhi helped her walk back slowly.

As soon as he came back, he heard from the palanquin man that the adults had gone to the docks, and when he didn't see them come back until late at night, he went out to look for them, and found them drunk. He hadn't seen anything like this in years.

Seeing Ye Zhi sending Mei Xiaoren back to his house, Li Qingqing, who was following Mei Xiaoren, stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already arrived home, and she really didn't worry about Brother Mei so she wanted to come and have a look, but she saw Brother Mei sitting alone on the bridge and borrowing wine to kill her sorrows. She didn't dare to disturb, so she could only get out of the sedan chair and stay alone not far away.

Seeing Mei Xiaoren arrive home safely, Li Qingqing turned around and walked back, but as soon as he looked up, he was startled, it turned out that she was not the only one who was following behind......

Li Qingqing was stunned, "You...... Are you here to see off Brother Mei? ”

Liuyue held the sword in her hand, and said with a cold face, "Didn't he let you go back?" A girl's house, rarely walk outside at night. ”

"I'm not at ease." Li Qingqing lowered his eyes. She always felt that this Metropolitan Governor was not a master to provoke, so she didn't dare to look at it more.

Later, there was no movement in front, and she raised her head and saw that the person had left, so she should have gone back to restore her life.

She didn't expect that Brother Mei's friend turned out to be the prime minister.

Her father is an official, so she has heard that the reputation of the prime minister is not very good, but she can see that the prime minister's concern for Brother Mei is real, and it has nothing to do with whether others are good or bad.

It was midnight when Liuyue returned to Suzaku Fang, the lights in the apse were still on, and the master had not slept.

The master is not ordinary to Mei Xiaoren, since he asked him to secretly escort Mei Xiaoren back, then if he doesn't come back, the master should not be able to let go.

Liuyue told her master everything she saw along the way, from Mei Xiaoren getting drunk, to Li Qingqing getting off the sedan chair to follow Mei Xiaoren, and the people in Mei Xiaoren's mansion to find him.

Gu Chuyu sat behind the bookcase, holding a booklet in his hand but didn't look at it, and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"My subordinates don't know, I heard Mei Gongzi call him Lao Ye."

"Ye Zhi." Gu Chuyu said casually. He and Jiang Ei have concealed their identities one after another, only this Ye Zhi is the person she knows the roots, no wonder she is willing to let Ye Zhi get close tonight.

"Xiao Yu'er, did you really tell him?"

Before Wei Shuying arrived, he hurriedly pushed the door in, walked in front of Gu Chuyu, and looked at him with a surprised face.

"Hmm." Gu Chuyu just responded lightly.

"What's his reaction?" The corners of Wei Shuying's lips rose, and she asked with interest, "Do you still recognize you as a master?" ”

Wei Shuying was smiling, but Gu Chuyu's expression was as cold as frost from beginning to end, which made him have to smile. The devil knows what the boss is thinking, and he is afraid that the situation is not good.

"I heard that you met an assassin today, who is that assassin?"

"The maidservant girl in Li Daoyuan's mansion, but its real master should not be surnamed Li." Gu Chuyu confessed to Liuyue, "Interrogated overnight, tomorrow morning, I want to listen to her tell the truth." ”

"Yes." Liuyue answered.

Dawn.

Ye Zhi was waiting outside Mei Xiaoren's door early in the morning. But if you want to go to the government, the adults of his family will never get up late, and it is the same today.

He waited for a long time, and the door opened, and the adult stood in front of him, dressed neatly, and the whole person looked nothing unusual, as if the scene he had seen last night was an illusion.

Mei Xiaoren went out, and Ye Zhi followed her and said, "I heard about the prefect's case, have you thought of a way to solve the case?" ”

She shook her head silently. Who said that the blue can win the blue, if it is really a game set by him, then she may not be able to break it in the next life.

"Why did you ...... last night?"

"Lao Ye, don't ask, anyway, it's all because I want to save the prefect too much." Mei Xiaoren's voice was low, and his tone seemed a little helpless.

Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi came to the mansion, from the time she entered the door to the time she walked to the general judge, the people she met along the way all held their breath and buried their heads, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

When she entered the general court, she saw that her house was a little lively.

Gao Jingshu sat in her seat, watched her come in gracefully, and then raised his lips and said to her: "Judge Mei Tong, this official has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Mei Xiaoren said indifferently: "Doesn't Lord Tongzhi want to be the prefect, why do you suddenly like to take up the seat of the lowly position?" ”

"Your seat?" Gao Jingshu smiled more and more happily, "I'm afraid that you will not even be able to sit in this seat anymore." ”

After Gao Jingshu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Liben on his side.

Zhang Liben arched his hand and said: "Lord Tongju, last night an assassin infiltrated the Vermilion Bird Boat with the intention of assassinating the Prime Minister, and I heard that the female assassin was brought by Lord Tongju, so Xiangye ordered early in the morning to let Lord Tongzhi take you to interrogate." ”

Gao Jingshu stood up and looked at Mei Xiaoren, still with a smile on his face, "Do you want to go by yourself, or do you want the official to let the catcher send you away?" ”

Mei Xiaoren turned around and walked out the door.
