The moon is in the sky.

Mei Xiaoren took two officials to the gate of Jinghualou, they were all dressed in regular clothes, disguised as one master and two servants, no different from the pedestrians on the street.

She stood outside the building and glanced at it a few times, and saw many girls throwing silk sleeves upstairs and downstairs, which made the fat powder fragrant, and at first glance there was no movement, which showed that Ye Zhi did not act rashly.

After all, he is also a person who has been in the yamen, how can he not know whether to outwit or fight hard in such a situation.

Mei Xiaoren walked to the door, and the bustard and the girls surrounded her, holding her arm, and greeted me one by one: "Son, come for the first time, please come inside." ”

In order not to arouse suspicion, Mei Xiaoren had to let these slender hands touch her body, and she had to smile on her face.

She walked into the building surrounded by them, and it was full of people.

The entire county is in this place of wind and moon, and business is quite prosperous.

There is a stage in the middle of the lobby of Jinghua Building, and several dancing girls are dancing on it, which attracts the benefactors in the hall to applaud again and again.

Mei Xiaoren walked to a nearby table and sat down, and the girls around her retreated to the door to continue to greet customers.

She asked the two entourages to go around separately, and then while enjoying the song and dance, she raised her eyes and casually scanned all over the building, trying to find Ye Zhi's figure, but found nothing.

I don't know if there was an error in the line report, or if Ye Zhi couldn't help it, so he left first.

It is not a way to sit down like this, Mei Xiaoren asked Xiao Er to take a pot of wine, stood up with the wine jug, and walked through the pile of benefactors.

Wu Xian said that Shen Zhixin gathered a group of masters of the rivers and lakes to hide here, there are so many of them, they should be particularly eye-catching.

Mei Xiaoren stepped up the stairs and began to search upstairs.

The girls and guests around her came and went, making the already narrow corridor seem a little crowded, and she looked left and right as she walked, and found that most of the private rooms upstairs were closed, and she couldn't see who was inside.

Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Mei Xiaoren looked back and saw Ye Zhi standing behind her, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Wu Xian previously described those people in the rivers and lakes as murderous demons who do not blink, saying that Ye Zhi's situation is very dangerous. She and Ye Zhi were strangers again, and there seemed to be something in her heart that held her, which made her feel at ease, maybe because he saved her life on the battlefield......

Ye Zhi didn't seem to be able to call her Lord Yin, and it was inconvenient for her to call him Lord Ye, so she only asked, "Wu Xian said that people are here?" ”

"It's here, but it's a mixed place, and there are too many people coming and going, and I haven't noticed anyone else there." Ye Zhi looked at her and said, "My lord...... Let's go back. ”

The corners of Mei Xiaoren's lips raised, "It's all here, if you don't catch someone back, won't you live up to me for this trip?" She looked at the closed doors around her and sighed, "We'll have to go in and have a look, or it's useless to find dawn." ”

Ye Zhi worried: "But won't this startle the snake?" ”

"It depends on the method." Mei Xiaoren picked up the wine jug in his hand and asked Ye Zhi, "Do you drink it or do I drink it?" ”

Ye Zhi looked at Mei Xiaoren and hesitated. In order not to alarm the prisoners, he sent the officials who accompanied him, and prepared to investigate the situation himself and bring someone to arrest him, but he went around here for a long time, because he could not check the situation in the room, so there was no progress.

He knew what Mei Xiaoren's idea was, but it was really dangerous to do so, and once they were found out, they fell into the hands of those outlaws, and the consequences were unimaginable.

When Ye Zhi hesitated, Mei Xiaoren had already lifted the lid of the wine jug, lifted the wine jug and poured it down his throat.

Ye Zhi whispered, "Adult......"

"I know you're worried, but there's nothing else you can do." Mei Xiaoren wiped his mouth, lowered his hand and said, "Where is there a non-dangerous errand for arresting criminals, but we haven't done it before?" ”

Ye Zhi nodded.

"Hold me."

Ye Zhi put his arm around Mei Xiaoren, and Mei Xiaoren drooped his head as if he was drunk, and walked forward relying on Ye Zhi's support, staggering, and kept shaking the wine jug in his hand.

Mei Xiaoren's eyes wandered on the ground, observing the footprints at the door of each room, picking the room with the most footprints in and out, slamming the door in, pretending to be drunk and stumbling into it.

The movement startled the guests and girls who were drinking inside, Ye Zhi quickly looked at those people, and found that it was not, so he hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, this friend of mine is drunk, disturb ......" After speaking, he helped Mei Xiaoren out of the room and closed the door.

They used this method to find even a few rooms but didn't find Shen Zhixin's figure, and even Ye Zhi couldn't help but question the authenticity of the informant.

"Or ...... Get back? He asked.

"Look upstairs again." Mei Xiaoren whispered.

"Okay."

Ye Zhi walked upstairs slowly with Mei Xiaoren in his arms, the third floor was much quieter than the second floor.

Mei Xiaoren touched his cheek, it was neither red nor hot, and because of the lack of wine, he drank the remaining half pot of wine.

Ye Zhi said in a low voice: "I should have come earlier." ”

Mei Xiaoren hung his head and smiled, "You can't do it, Lao Ye, you can't get drunk with a thousand cups, and you can't act in this scene." ”

This title made Ye Zhi stunned, and he suddenly thought of the moon a few years ago......

At that time, Mei Xiaoren had just taken office, and said that he had never drunk in the past, and he had to practice drinking, otherwise he would not be able to socialize, so he accompanied Mei Xiaoren to drink in the backyard of the yamen every day.

At first, Mei Xiaoren's alcohol consumption was not good, getting drunk was commonplace, and he had to help him to go back to the room to rest every day, but later Mei Xiaoren got better and better, and he became less and less drunk, so he didn't need to help anymore...... So, he hasn't helped someone like this for years.

Grace and hate, love and resentment, became more and more clear in his heart, this is something he couldn't distinguish before, so he will be full of unwillingness and only think about revenge.

Now that they have tasted the bitter fruit, they have a new future, and the hatred is gone, and other things are gradually detached, which makes people can't help but think about it, to reminisce, and after recalling, it is endless torture, because there is no way back.

"Let's take a look." Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes and glanced at a door opposite.

There was a bright light inside the door, indicating that there were people inside, but it was unusually quiet, with neither sound nor music, very different from the noisy rooms around it.

Ye Zhi nodded and helped her to the door. She also used that method to knock open the door, and the room where there was no movement was even quieter, she hung her head and couldn't see the situation inside, but Ye Zhi didn't apologize for a long time, indicating that he had found something.

"His grandmother's, where did the drunkard come from!"

There was a shout from Mei Xiaoren's two, which was quite a bit of the pride of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Ye Zhi then smiled and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry, my friend drank too much, and he was bothered, forgive me." ”

"Get out! Don't bother with the masters. ”
