Ma Sandao: "He only said that he was doing things according to orders, and he didn't know anything else." ”

Bai Rongxin frowned: "What is this!" What about the death of the second official in Yizhou? What did he say? ”

"He said that it is true that the second official met the homeless, it is also true that he was coerced and placed under house arrest, and it is also true that the Yihe River fell into the water......" Ma San said here and glanced at Meng Qingyun, "At this point, he said that he used his own head as a guarantee, and he did see the second official being pushed into the Yihe River with his own eyes." ”

Bai Rongxin became more and more dissatisfied: "He only said such a thing? ”

Ma San said ashamedly: "I interrogated with the fifth brother all night, this person is really hard-boned, he has been keeping his mouth shut, and only when he heard his mother-in-law screaming, did he say that he would obey orders, and he refused to say anything else." I guessed with the fifth brother that he saw that we didn't intend to take his and his mother-in-law's lives, so we still had something to rely on. But—" he changed his words, "if the official speaks, the fifth brother and I have the means to make him open his mouth." ”

Before Bai Rongxin could answer, Meng Qingyun said first: "Don't worry. ”

Ma San and Bai Rongxin both looked at her.

Meng Qingyun said: "He can say the words "obeying orders, which has already proved that there are indeed some secrets that cannot be told to others." Either he was lucky, or he had no fear, so he still refused to tell the whole truth. But it doesn't matter, he's just a small person, and there's no need to use ruthless means so quickly. ”

Ma San couldn't help but ask, "What do you say?" ”

Meng Qingyun said to Bai Rongxin: "Father's side, since it has indeed fallen into the Yi River, I can only hope that the local government and the transfer department will do their best to search and rescue." As for Hu Yigun's side, hang it first, although he still has a fluke mentality, his master may not be able to calm down. ”

Bai Rongxin said: "You mean ......?"

Meng Qingyun turned his head and looked at the faces of the three maidservants, Green Jade, Asakusa and Bauhinia, and beckoned to Bauhinia, Zijing was hit, and hurriedly walked over.

"What does Yuan Niang want me to do?" There was a small excitement on her face that she couldn't suppress.

Meng Qingyun felt funny, controlled his expression, and said, "You go and tell Mother Cui that Hu Yigun and Yizhihua in the back alley are missing." ”

Bauhinia: "Huh? Is that all there is to it? ”

Meng Qingyun: "Yes, let's just say that I disappeared inexplicably, I don't know what the reason is, you are also hearsay, and I want to ask Cui's mother if she knows, she doesn't have a lot of old sisters, and she is most familiar with gossip inside and out." ”

Zijing suddenly reacted: "I know, Cui's mother has a big mouth and loves to talk to people, as soon as she says it, it will not take half a day to spread all over this house." ”

Bai Rongxin also understood: "It seems to scare the snake, but in fact, it leads the snake out of the hole?" ”

Meng Qingyun smiled and nodded.

Bai Rongxin was impressed again: "Your grandfather really has a vision and married a smart man for your mother, and your brain must have inherited the wisdom of your father's scholar." ”

Meng Qingyun was a little speechless, uncle, don't you say that my mother is stupid, but she is your own sister.

"But......" Bai Rongxin frowned, "Although your move is in the Ming Dynasty, it will take a certain amount of time to ferment." My itinerary has been set, and I will leave tomorrow, so why don't I delay it for a few days......"

Meng Qingyun hurriedly said: "No, at this time, the enemy is clear and I am secret, the eldest lady heard that Hu Yigun and his wife were missing, and she must find someone as soon as possible, and she can't immediately guess that we did it." But if you stay with your uncle, you may immediately arouse her suspicions. The two armies are fighting, the enemy situation is unknown, and they are naturally suspicious, and only by making her panic and making her lose her square inch can she have a chance to show her feet. Therefore, the uncle must set off according to the established time. ”

Bai Rongxin said: "What about Hu Yi's shot, how did he arrange it?" If I'm gone, will you have the manpower to control him? ”

Meng Qingyun is a girl, and she is surrounded by maidservants, and there are no capable men available. Hu Yigun has martial arts and is a thorn in the head, and if she takes care of it, it is a big deal that she can only place people on the boundary inside and outside the Meng family's mansion, and it is easy for the Lu family to find out. It's a hot potato in her hands.

She also felt that this matter was tricky, so she lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "It's better to give it to your uncle to take away." ”

"Huh?" Bai Rongxin high-fived and shouted, "Wonderful! ”

Secretly hid Hu Yigun and Yizhihua in Bai Rongxin's team and took them away, unknowingly, in this way, the disappearance of these two people became more and more mysterious, and even if the Lu family dug three feet into the ground, they would definitely not be able to find these two people. Moreover, Bai Rongxin went to Jinghu here, and he had to return to She County first, and he happened to store the people in She County, and the Bai family took care of them, which was even more foolproof.

Bai Rongxin said: "In this way, I will take these two people away, and I will leave Ma San and Wang Wu for you to use for the time being." Staying in the house is easy to arouse the suspicion of the eldest lady, so she asks them to find a place to settle outside. The two of them have followed me for many years, and they are loyal and infallible. ”

Meng Qingyun said: "That's fine, I really have no one under my command available, with the third brother Ma and the fifth brother Wang here, there is also an extra layer of protection." ”

As she spoke, she got up and saluted the horse.

Ma San was flattered and quickly got up, he was a rough man after all, and he was cramped and a little proud to be asked by such a young lady. Zijing looked funny, and snorted, causing Ma San to look at her a few more times.

Bai Rongxin and Meng Qingyun tied up Hu Yijiu's purpose was just to confirm whether there was something strange about Meng Jin's death. As for the mastermind behind him, the most likely one is naturally the eldest lady Lu Shi.

On the Mengjin side, the Meng family now only prays and waits for news.

The Lu family is very critical, Meng Qingyun wants to see what means she will use. After all, for the Lu family, letting Mengjin have an accident must not be the ultimate goal.

So, the two nephews made an agreement and deliberated again, which ended the breakfast.

Bai Rongxin had a date outside, and his partners in the business field practiced it for him and arranged a banquet in a private garden to invite him.

Meng Qingyun asked the maids to say to the outside world that she was sad and unpleasant, and she closed the door again.

Lu Shi knew about it, but he just muttered: "It's really squeamish." ”

Luo's mother said: "It's inevitable, something like that happened to the second official, and the little girl's family may have cried all night under the covers." ”

Lu said: "Cry for this all night, and she will cry in the days to come." ”

Luo's mother was a little puzzled: "The eldest lady can't see her like this?" ”

Lu Shi was looking at a list with a list in his hand, and said casually: "Whether she cries or not, I don't have the time to care." Raised his hand and shook the list, "You see, this is the dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongkang Hou Mansion when she entered the door, and she just inquired about it." ”

Luo's mother glanced at it: "It's rich." ”

Lu sighed: "This Xiao Hu is the clan of Mrs. Hou of Yongkang, she liked her very much when she was not married, and after entering the door, she presided over the Hou Mansion in March of the wedding, which shows that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious." Our Hui Niang married in the past, and she was the second daughter-in-law, so she was a shot back from her eldest daughter-in-law. If there is no decent dowry, how can you stand up to your in-laws? ”

Luo's mother echoed: "No, when the second lady came over, didn't she bring a lot of dowry just to have face in our family." ”

Lu Shi let out a sigh of relief and said: "So, I have a thin background, and Hui Niang's dowry has to rely on the 'help' of the second room." ”

Luo's mother didn't dare to speak. The so-called "helping" is naturally the misappropriation of the money in the second room, so much property, Yuan Niang alone will not be able to use it up in a few lifetimes, and it is not a big deal to give some to Huiniang.

The master and servant were thinking, and the waiter Mo lowered his head and walked into the room quickly, first looked to confirm that there was no one on the left and right, and then said with a solemn face: "Big lady, Hu Yigun is missing." ”

"What?!"
