Chapter 68: Difficult to Overcome in White (I)
Difficult to cross in white (I)
Xu Changan estimated that he would never know in his life that at some stage in his life, he almost changed his life because of a little person named Wang Erwu.
If it weren't for the old man I met in the Evil Ghost Mountain, the child named Cui Wei appeared.
However, Xu Changan didn't have time to think about these at this time.
Another day, Mei Ruolan was silent.
Although Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and even the Ministry of Officials all came to inquire together, he still didn't take it to heart, and now he only cares about Mei Ruolan.
At this time, he understood the look in Mei Linkai's eyes when he looked at him. Xu Changan recalled that he knew that the county guard had entrusted his daughter to him early on.
Although he didn't know why he was involved, now he just wanted to live up to the trust of the old man. Besides, he believes that as long as he is worthy of his heart, then this God will not treat him badly.
As for the current inquiry, it is just a simple inquiry, although Mei Linkai's case was transferred to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. Someone from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple went to Anhai City to investigate, and at the same time, the physical evidence and corpses found now were also transported to Chang'an.
Before everything came, Xu Changan could even ignore these inquiries, but he went anyway. The body is not afraid of the ghost knocking on the door.
Besides, Xue Zhengwu sent someone, and he couldn't help but go.
It's just that Mei Ruolan hasn't heard from her for two days, except for the imperial city, he has almost turned over Chang'an, and even the Buzheng Fang where he is located and Chongrenfang, another gathering place for officials, has not let go. But Mei Ruolan was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
Xu Changan was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
......
The sky seemed to be stained with heavy ink, and there were only one or two lonely stars on the horizon.
Cheng Baiyi sat at the door, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the lonely stars in the sky.
The ground is slightly wet, and it rarely rains heavily in winter, but even light rain is so cold that people shiver.
Cheng Baiyi is still wearing white clothes, but if you look closely, there are a lot of stains on the white clothes. He had washed the dishes at this time, and his wide sleeved robe was tied with a thin thread, revealing his small arms like jade lotus, which had not yet been untied.
He was looking at the stars, and the people in the room were looking at him.
Mei Ruolan looked at this man, in the past two days, he was like an ordinary person. What especially made her feel incredible was that this man could cook and wash dishes, and it tasted good. If she hadn't known that Cheng Baiyi was not simple, she would probably really feel that this was also a man worth relying on.
"Go to bed early, in two days,
Your father's body should be able to reach Chang'an. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to go to see your father, and then you can testify against Xu Changan, with your evidence and some evidence, if there is no accident, Xu Changan can be imprisoned. ”
When Mei Ruolan heard this, her heart suddenly became entangled, and she also had a trace of fear in her heart.
Eventually, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what should I say?"
"On the first day of the winter month, you saw Xu Changan arguing with your father. When Mei Ruolan heard this, she carefully counted the date.
Cheng Baiyi turned around and said to her, "Don't forget it, it's the day before you left Anhai City." ”
"At that time, someone will testify, and in the afternoon, Xu Changan walked out of Anhai Tower, and his whereabouts are unknown. According to the preliminary verdict, your father must have been killed that day. As for the fire in your Plum House, it was started later. ”
Hearing this, Mei Ruolan stood up suddenly.
Through these words, she knew that Xu Changan was definitely not a murderer, because on the first day of junior high school, she went to Anhai Tower after a quarrel with her father, and then she quietly followed Xu Changan out of the city, and she watched Xu Changan fall drunk under the tree. Similarly, she also knew, and Cheng Baiyi also understood that Xu Changan was not a murderer.
"He's not a murderer!"
Mei Ruolan stared at Cheng Baiyi's eyes, Cheng Baiyi glanced at those clear eyes, and then looked down at her feet.
"I know that you want revenge, I want him to be condemned, that's all. ”
"But I want him to be convicted for killing my brother, if he is convicted for killing my father. The revenge for killing my brother is revenge, but what about my father's revenge?"
Cheng Baiyi raised his head and glanced at her, and said lightly: "That's for the future, if you want, after this matter is completed, I will try my best to help you avenge." Of course, it can only be other ways, because if Xu Changan is imprisoned, your father's matter will be over on the surface. ”
Mei Ruolan shook her head.
"I want him to be punished with real sanctions. ”
As he spoke, he was about to go out.
Mei Ruolan made up her mind to give Xu Changan the sanction she deserved no matter what. The slightest good impression of Cheng Baiyi just now immediately collapsed.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm not going to help you in this way. ”
Mei Ruolan swept past Cheng Baiyi and walked to the door.
Cheng Baiyi closed his eyes, he was sure that Mei Ruolan was the eldest lady and couldn't go far, so he didn't dare to leave.
He didn't say anything, he just counted silently in his heart.
When he counted to "ten", that
The girl didn't turn around.
And Mei Ruolan also counted silently in her heart, and she was also scared in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't turn back.
She also counted to "ten", and there was no sound behind her. Mei Ruolan felt a little more scared and nervous, but at the same time relieved.
She took a deep breath, didn't know where the courage came from, took a deep breath, and groped her way out of the village.
Cheng Baiyi counted to a hundred, opened his eyes, looked at the empty door, and sighed. 、
He suddenly felt that something had been lost, even though they had only been together for two days. If Mei Ruolan agreed, he would not be happy, but if Mei Ruolan refused, he felt empty in his heart.
Eventually, he sighed and shook his head, not understanding what his state of mind was.
Mei Ruolan really agreed, although the plan could be carried out, but he would be disappointed, but Mei Ruolan refused, and he began to worry about the plan again.
In fact, with his strength, it is not difficult to stop Mei Ruolan, or even catch her and imprison her. But just now, he didn't know why and didn't make a move.
Even at this time, Cheng Baiyi didn't think about catching Mei Ruolan, but worried about her.
Could it be that you like her?
Cheng Baiyi immediately shook his head and shook off this idea.
He had thought about the girl who would accompany him, who was probably a village girl, who could cook and do laundry, and then they would have a group of children, and she would marry and raise children, and he would make ends meet outside the home.
Yes, he Cheng Baiyi doesn't have much ideals. When I first came to Chang'an, it was just to survive, it's as simple as that.
But immediately, Mei Ruolan's figure appeared in his mind.
But she's a big lady, she can't cook, she can't do laundry, she can't do anything. How could he like such a person when he was born poor?
Cheng Baiyi cried and laughed twice, then shook his head, stopped thinking about this girl, and prepared to blow out the lamp to sleep.
But at this moment, a cry for help came from afar.
Cheng Baiyi recognized that it was her voice, and he rushed out without thinking about it!
