capital girl

Chapter 157 Yuniang is fake

Xie Jianzhang looked at Li Yulou in shock, "Why are you here?"

Xie Jianzhang didn't seem to want Li Yulou to see him like this.

"I'm looking for my husband, so I'm here. I'm surprised Mr. Xie is in Dezhou." Li Yulou said.

"Get out of here quickly... You know, I really like you, although I did some ridiculous things before, but I really do it for your own good, don't stay here, get out of here, you are not their opponents ..."

"Ma Yushi died unexpectedly. If you escaped once, it is impossible to escape every time."

Li Yulou didn't expect Xie Jianzhang to say such a touching thing.

"Did Ma Yushi be killed by Marquis Yong'an?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"I've said it all, I don't know, and I can't do anything for you, don't even think about it..." Xie Jianzhang looked at Meng Shiyu and said.

"Then you don't want to give me the account of the salt, right?" Meng Shiyu asked again.

"I can't give it to you. There is nothing wrong with the salt, so you don't need to check..." Xie Jianzhang was firm.

"Actually, we already have a lot of evidence," Li Yulou said, "Whether you say it or not, it doesn't really matter to us, but it has a lot to do with you, you can do it yourself!" Li Yulou said.

"Yulou, we haven't seen you for a long time and you've become like this. I said that Meng Shiyu is not a good guy. He is just a donkey dung with a smooth face. He looks good, but he is actually full of bad water."

"You are so pure, like the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain, and now you can deceive people."

Li Yulou,...

"Yulou, you can make peace with him, and follow me after reconciliation, I don't dislike you at all..."

"As long as you follow me, I'll turn my back on evil, and I promise not to touch any other women."

"Dogs can't change eating shit, do you think you can change it yourself?" Li Yulou said.

"Yes, it will be possible!" Xie Jianzhang swore.

"Looking for death..." Meng Shiyu punched Xie Jianzhang on the shoulder.

Xie Jianzhang screamed, "We found Ma Yushi's investigation records, it doesn't make any difference whether you say it or not..."

After Meng Shiyu finished speaking, he hugged Li Yulou and turned around to leave.

"Let me explain, explain, I will tell you everything I know, this is the head office!" Xie Jianzhang suddenly shouted from behind.

"That's about the same!" Meng Shiyu turned his head.

"I don't want to cause trouble for my uncle, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. Do you think I was frightened by you? It's not at all..." Xie Jianzhang said through gritted teeth.

Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou didn't care what the reason Xie Jianzhang explained was, as long as he explained it.

"There is a problem with the salt, because the Marquis of Yong'an wants to take [-]% of the tax from it..." Xie Jianzhang sighed.

"But I can't help it. I'm full of flaws everywhere. I'm afraid of death, greedy for money, and lustful... I was corrupted by them when I first came here..."

"Your self-awareness is really accurate." Li Yulou sneered.

"But I was really just dragged away by them. Even if I didn't come, anyone would do the same. There is no weakness in people..." Xie Jianzhang defended himself.

"Don't make excuses for the crimes you committed, these are useless, but, for the sake of your voluntary confession, I will save face for you in the notebook written to His Majesty." Meng Shiyu said.

"Thank you, thank you, you are worthy of being a fellow villager, and you can show some kindness..." Xie Jianzhang was full of honor.

"Write down everything you know, no need, just say it with your mouth, I will have someone come in and record it, and those account books, you should keep the bottom account, right?" Meng Shiyu asked.

Xie Jianzhang nodded, "Keep it, don't worry, but how long are you going to tie me up?"

"I still need your identity now. When this matter is over... it's also for your safety. Are you sure they won't silence you too?" Meng Shiyu looked at Xie Jianzhang and said sharply.

Xie Jianzhang smiled wryly, "You are good at disguise...can you teach me?"

"No!" Meng Shiyu flatly refused.

Meanwhile, Yu Niang emerges from the brothel and gets into a carriage.

The carriage left the city and stopped outside a village for about half an hour.

Yuniang got out of the carriage, with a flustered expression, and walked quickly into the village with her skirt in hand.

A person like her seemed out of place in such a village.

But it was getting dark, and the village was completely dark. Yuniang was walking almost by moonlight, but she seemed to be familiar with this village.

A few barking dogs did not surprise her.After a while she entered a yard.

Before entering the yard, she carefully looked around to see if anyone was following her.

She opened the door and walked in without seeing anyone.

Soon the lights came on in the house.

"Zhenniang, why are you here so late?" A man lowered his voice and asked.

"Brother Huang, someone found me today. It's Mr. Xie from the government office. Once he finds out, the whole government office will know immediately. I think I'm going to die too. I'm afraid, I..." Zhenniang trembled all over. .

"Then what do you want to do, do you want to run?" Brother Huang asked.

"I don't know, I don't know where to run, I will be caught by them soon, you better run... I don't know if I can keep a secret..." Zhenniang said.

"I'm not going to run either. The master is already dead. I have nothing to run. The worst thing is to die..." Big Brother Huang said.

Zhenniang didn't stay for long. Originally, she came to report to Brother Huang. Soon she left the village and returned to Dezhou City in a carriage.

Li Yulou went in to take a bath. The clean room in Xie Jianzhang's house was very large, and the bathtub inside was huge and exquisite.

Li Yulou looked at the bathtub and felt uncomfortable thinking about what Xie Jianzhang and some women might have done here.

"Has the bathtub been cleaned?" Li Yulou asked.

"Well, it's cleaned up..." said the servant girl who was waiting on the side.

"Then you all go out, I will do it myself." Li Yulou waved his hand.

The servant girl withdrew, she shook off those messy thoughts, took off her clothes and went in to take a bath.

She also had a busy day and felt very tired all over. She felt comfortable after bathing in hot water.

Xie Jianzhang really enjoys it, this bathtub is very comfortable, she wants to go back to the capital and make one herself.

After taking a bath, Meng Shiyu had already removed his makeup and returned to his original appearance.

"It looks much more pleasing to the eye..." Li Yulou said as he stirred his hair with a towel.

When Meng Shiyu saw her coming out, she looked like a water lily, with a long snow-white neck, and steam on her pink cheeks, and she was not wearing a tube top under her pajamas.

He reached out and pulled Li Yulou close to him, "I'll help you with your hair..."

Li Yulou hummed and turned his back to him. Meng Shiyu was good at brushing his hair, very gently and carefully.

But today he didn't seem to be very honest, just after wiping for a while, his hand stretched out in front of her, holding something that shouldn't be held...

"What do you want to do?" Li Yulou twisted his body to escape from Meng Shiyu's clutches.

"Time is tight. We only have half an hour. We really don't have time to dry our hair. Can we do our hair after finishing business?" Meng Shiyu whispered in her ear.

His warm breath made her earlobe itchy, and a blush bloomed from her ears.

"It's still early, don't be so anxious..." Li Yulou said softly.

"Worry..." Meng Shiyu bit her earlobe as he spoke.

His slightly cool lips kissed her...

After half an hour of tenderness, she lay in his arms, "Can Yu Niang tell us what we want?"

"It should be possible..." Meng Shiyu gently stroked her hair, "Go to sleep, I'm going to wake up, I have something to do tonight..."

"Do you still want to go out? I want to go too." Li Yulou also straightened up.

"Aren't you tired?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Not tired." Li Yulou shook his head.

"It should take half an hour longer..." Meng Shiyu looked at Li Yulou meaningfully.

Li Yulou's cheeks flushed, thinking of just now, he turned his head to get dressed.

Li Yulou got dressed and left the house with Meng Shiyu.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to a small house.

The door was opened, and Li Yulou followed Meng Shiyu in.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances. Li Yulou was very pleasantly surprised, and felt that there were always many unexpected things for her following Meng Shiyu.

"Master, as you predicted, Yuniang packed up and left the city after you and Madam left." Xiao Qi said.

"She met a man outside the city. The man's surname is Huang. He is Ma Yushi's personal entourage. He should know something."

"Yu Niang met this man surnamed Huang and was assassinated on the way back. We rescued her, and she was greatly frightened."

"The man surnamed Huang seemed to be going back to the capital, but he was intercepted halfway and was rescued by us..."

Meng Shiyu hummed and nodded. All of this was expected. He just wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but he didn't expect the other party to be so restrained.

What Li Yulou was thinking about was that when she was making out with Meng Shiyu, she didn't expect so many things to happen outside.

Her cheeks turned bright red in an instant.

Li Yulou followed Meng Shiyu inside, and unexpectedly saw Yuniang and another man in his 30s.

At this time, Yu Niang was even more embarrassed, her clothes were torn, her forehead was scratched, and her hair was messy.

Yuniang recognized Li Yulou at a glance.

"You..." Yuniang didn't seem to expect to see Li Yulou here at all.

Li Yulou smiled, and ordered Chuntao to prepare some hot water for her to wash up.

After all, Meng Shiyu was so good-looking. In front of such a good-looking man as Meng Shiyu, being too sloppy would make her look even more embarrassed.

After a brief wash, Yuniang tidied up her hair before coming out to meet Meng Shiyu.

"This is Mr. Meng, the inspector from the capital, specially for Ma Yushi's case." Xiao Qi said.

Yu Niang looked at Meng Shiyu in horror, "That lord is not, not already, already..."

"We adults are fine, but we just created an illusion for those people, just to investigate the truth of Ma Yushi's death..." Xiao Qi said, "If you know anything, you'd better say it, otherwise we won't be able to avenge you... Redress Ma Yushi's grievance..."

Yu Niang is still hesitating, she doesn't know whether Meng Shiyu's death is really what Xiao Qi said, an illusion created by themselves, or if they are lying to her here and let her tell the truth.

Meng Shiyu knew what she was hesitating, and said, "When you die, the truth of Ma Yushi's death will follow. You will be killed soon if you go out now, and you have nowhere to go..."

"Instead of doubting me, it's better to explain the matter clearly."

"Think about it for yourself..." Meng Shiyu continued, "If I belonged to them, I would kill you directly. Why do I need to save you? It takes so much effort."

"Let's talk, my husband must be a good man, he is the number one scholar, and he is very famous in the capital and even in the whole world."

Li Yulou said, "Back then, when he went to the brothel, he wore Xie Jianzhang's mask for convenience, but now he is himself, how pretty you look..."

Yu Niang,...

"A good-looking man will not lie."

Anyone else, is there any necessary connection to this?

Yu Niang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I've also heard that Master Meng has impeached the King of Yan and the Concubine more than once... He is a good and upright official."

"I was very happy when Mr. Meng was coming to Dezhou, but who knew that Mr. Meng was assassinated before he arrived in Dezhou, so I was even more afraid."

"Are you really Master Meng?" Yuniang looked at Meng Shiyu and asked.

Meng Shiyu nodded, "I'm Meng Shiyu, the fifth-rank inspector of the Supervision Institute...you can tell me anything, and I can guarantee your safety."

Yuniang stared at Meng Shiyu for a moment, then said, "Actually, I'm not Yuniang..."

Meng Shiyu was also surprised that she was not Yu Niang.

"I am Zhenniang..."

"Yu Niang should be dead."

"Dead..." Li Yulou said.

Zhenniang nodded, "She was already dead, she died in a brothel not long after Ma Yushi died."

"Then why are you pretending to be Yuniang?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"It's my mother and those people who didn't want to make things worse, so they let me pretend to be Yu Niang."

"They wanted the matter to stop at Ma Yushi and not spread to other places, so they hired me to replace it."

"Actually, Mr. Xie, no, Mr. Meng pretended to be Mr. Xie, and I felt that Mr. Xie was wrong when he entered the house, because I also changed my appearance and understood the situation."

"And Mr. Meng really doesn't look like Mr. Xie...Because Mr. Xie will touch things after he comes in, and it's all sensitive places of us women, very obscene..."

"But I didn't expect it to be Master Meng..."

"Then how much do you know about Ma Yushi?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Actually, I know very little. I only know that Yuniang was killed. There is a relationship between Yuniang and Ma Yushi. I don't know how deep their relationship is, and how far they have been together..." Zhenniang answer.

A look of disappointment appeared on Meng Shiyu's face, he didn't expect to find only a fake Yuniang after so much effort.

"He, Brother Huang knows a lot..." Zhenniang said.

The man surnamed Huang is Huang Kui, and he is Ma Yushi's personal entourage.

He survived the assassination and went into hiding afterwards.

"My lord, it was me, I killed our master, it's all my fault!" Huang Kui cried and knelt on the ground, full of self-blame.
