capital girl

Chapter 158 Found the Evidence

Meng Shiyu said coldly, "Why did you kill Ma Yushi? You betrayed him?"

The attitude towards traitors is absolutely not tolerated.

"No, no, I, I told those people about the whereabouts of the master, otherwise the master would not be killed by them..." Huang Kui was full of self-blame, crying his nose and tears.

"You didn't betray Ma Yushi?" Meng Shiyu was not moved by how Huang Kui cried, but still asked in a cold voice.

"No, my master is so kind to me. How can I treat my master like that? Even if I die, I will not do anything to betray my master." Huang Kui kowtowed, "I beg Mr. Meng to investigate clearly..."

"Then tell me, is she Yuniang?" Meng Shiyu stared at Huang Kui for a moment, thinking that he would not lie, and then asked.

"She is not Yu Niang, she is Zhen Niang, who grew up with Yu Niang..." Huang Kui replied.

Yu Niang also removed all her disguises, and she really changed into a different person, but her appearance did not change much from before.

"So Yuniang is really dead?" Li Yulou asked.

"Dead..." Huang Kui said, "Yu Niang was killed not long after Master died."

"Ma Yushi is from the capital, and Yu Niang is in Dezhou. How did they meet and how close is their relationship?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Our master used to be from Texas. He took the imperial examination from Dezhou and became an official in the capital. This is our hometown..." Huang Kui replied.

Meng Shiyu's eyes darkened, "Ma Yushi is from Cangzhou, how could he be from Texas?"

"This is because our old man is from Cangzhou and has always claimed that he is from Cangzhou. Our old man came to Dezhou with the old man when he was ten years old. He didn't leave Dezhou until he passed the Jinshi examination. He is considered a native of Texas..." Huang Kui replied , "So when our master fills in the resumes of officials, he always fills in his Cangzhou people."

"Yu Niang and our master are childhood sweethearts, and they used to be neighbors, but they were sold into a brothel due to a family accident..."

"Our master has been looking for Yuniang since he is still unmarried. I didn't expect to find it with great difficulty, but now..."

Li Yulou was also deeply moved by the whereabouts of this pair of fateful mandarin ducks.

She also had a little more respect for Ma Yushi in her heart.

A man is so infatuated, so loyal to the country, and pursues the ultimate in what he does, clean and responsible, does not bow to the powerful, does not beg for mercy from evil forces, and can stick to his ideals and love.

Apart from Shi Yu, there may be no other person like Ma Yushi in the world.

Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu, unable to move his eyes away for a long time.

Meng Shiyu,...

He is trying a case, it's a very serious matter, she is watching what she is doing with this peachy eyes.

"Ma Yushi's body has been buried, so where is Yuniang's body?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"It's on the hillside next to the mass grave outside the city," Huang Kui cried, "Yu Niang's body was cleaned up by Zhen Niang and I when no one was around at night, and it was buried hastily, which is really pitiful." ..."

"Master Meng, Lord Qingtian, please avenge my master!" Huang Kui kowtowed.

"Did your master find anything?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Of course I found some, but after the master was killed, all his things were taken away. I don't know where they are now. The young one is not very literate. The few words he knows are also taught by the master. Do you know if there is anything else..." Huang Kui cried a little desperately.

Meng Shiyu hummed, "I will make the decision for Lord Ma, I came here for Lord Ma's unjust death..."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir..." Huang Kui kowtowed like garlic.

"Tomorrow we will dig out Yuniang's body and bury her with Mrs. Ma, which can be regarded as fulfilling their love in this life." Meng Shiyu said.

"Can you?" Huang Kui looked at Meng Shiyu in disbelief.

"There's nothing wrong with it..." Meng Shiyu stood up as he said, "This is your foothold during this period of time. After the matter here is finished, I will take you back to the capital. You may return to the capital when you arrive. To be questioned by the government..."

"I understand that as long as I can avenge my master, I am willing to do anything." Huang Kui kept kowtowing.

Meng Shiyu didn't say anything, turned around and left the room.

Li Yulou glanced at Zhenniang, and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will protect your safety, you can stay here with peace of mind..."

Zhenniang thanked Li Yulou gratefully.

On the carriage, Meng Shiyu looked at Li Yulou and asked, "Why did you keep looking at me just now?"

"Because you look good!" Li Yulou said.

"I'm working, you look at me like that, how do I do things, I can't bring you here next time." Meng Shiyu had a straight face and a serious look.

"Don't..." Li Yulou stretched out his hand to grab Meng Shiyu's arm and said, "Actually, I was moved by the relationship between Ma Yushi and Yuniang. What a wonderful couple, they just disappeared..."

"I also think Ma Yushi is good, loyal to his feelings, loyal to the country, loyal to what he does, not flattery, not bought by evil forces... Except for us Shiyu, there may never be such a person in this world. It's gone." Li Yulou said.

Meng Shiyu,...

He was so praised by his wife that he couldn't even say a word.

"I'm not as good as you say."

"You are better than what I said. If it weren't for you, if it were another official, Ma Yushi's grievances might not be heard for a lifetime."

Meng Shiyu didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.

"But we don't have any clue yet. Although we know where the bad guy is, we just can't catch him..." Meng Shiyu sighed.

"It will happen gradually, don't worry..." Li Yulou patted the back of Meng Shiyu's hand lightly and said.

Early the next morning, Meng Shiyu put on Xie Jianzhang's face again, and then led a group of angry horses across the street.

Marquis Yong'an didn't care when he saw Xie Jianzhang riding past the teahouse where he was, with a smile on his face, "It would be great if every official was like Xie Jianzhang, there will always be those who want to be the master of Qingtian..."

"What's so good about being the master of Qingtian? Life is poor and life is not long. What are you trying to do?"

"Who is willing to use a knife for something that money can solve? What a sin it is. My lord, how long will I have to eat fast and chant Buddha to get rid of this sin."

The attendants hurriedly responded.

"By the way, you said that that girl named Zhenniang ran away last night, and couldn't even deal with a woman?" Yong'an Hou looked at Qin Sui with a slightly cold face,

"Suddenly a few men in black appeared and took her away. The other party was very skilled, and our people couldn't react in time... However, she doesn't know anything. Don't worry, the matter of Ma Yushi has already been settled." He replied with trepidation.

"On the contrary, the widow of Meng Zhuangyuan is very well-behaved. After going to the government office to make a fuss, she was fine, and she even lived in Xie Jianzhang's house." Yong'an Hou showed a wretched smile on his face.

"It is rumored that this number one scholar has a very good relationship with his wife, and now it seems that is the case."

Marquis Yong'an snorted coldly, "So you must not believe what women say."

"Xie Jianzhang liked Mrs. Meng Shiyu when he was in Xiuzhou. Because she was almost broken by his father, this can be regarded as the fulfillment of his dream for so many years. It is understandable to be excited." The follower smiled. explain.

"You don't need to pay attention to such a dandy, not to mention that there is King Jin'an there, so you have to show face to the prince." Yong'an Hou took a sip of tea, "Keep looking, just in case, I still want to get that prostitute Find it and remove it."

The follower simply agreed.

Meng Shiyu took Li Yulou out of the city, and quickly found the mass grave under Huang Kui's guidance.

Huang Kui searched for a long time on the hillside of the mass grave before finding Yuniang's grave.

This is not a tomb, just a small slope. After the rain, it was almost washed away.

"Master Meng is here!" Huang Kui pointed to a slightly raised small dirt bump.

"Dig it..." Meng Shiyu ordered.

Soon a broken mat was dug up.After all, it has not been buried for a long time, and the mat has not been broken.

It's just that after the soil layer was dug out, an irresistible smell permeated the air.

"Don't be here anymore, stay away." Meng Shiyu said to Li Yulou.

"It's okay..." Li Yulou shook his head, "I can bear it, she is a poor woman..."

The body was so swollen that I couldn't see its face clearly.

No matter how beautiful and radiant you are when you are alive, you will be completely different after you die.

The worms ran around on Yuniang's body, and Li Yulou almost couldn't hold back his vomiting.

The reason why Meng Shiyu wanted to do this was because he felt that there might be some secrets kept in Yuniang.

After Ma Yushi was killed, he was burned, and it is impossible to leave anything of value.

What's more, if Ma Yushi really investigates something of value, he will definitely entrust it to the person he trusts the most.

Who else could Ma Yushi trust in Dezhou?

"Dissect the corpse..." Meng Shiyu ordered.

Wu Zuo began to examine the corpse and dissect the corpse.

"Shi Yu, do you think Yuniang really has any secrets?" Li Yulou couldn't bear it. She had already become like that, but now she has to be dissected with a knife. It's really pitiful.

"This is the last hope. If there are no more clues to investigate, my trip to Texas will be considered a complete failure." Meng Shiyu said, "My official career may end here, and there will be no future. "

Li Yulou could imagine that King Yan's party would use this matter to attack Meng Shiyu severely, so that other people who trusted him would no longer be able to support him.

Li Yulou didn't speak any more, and walked a little further away. The scene was really cruel.

"My lord, there is something..." Xiao Qi shouted.

Meng Shiyu walked over quickly.

Wu Zuo actually found something from Yuniang's stomach.

This is a bamboo tube, which is hollow inside.

Li Yulou couldn't imagine how Yuniang swallowed the bamboo tube at that time, what a tragic situation it was.

Someone brought water to rinse the sticky bamboo tube, and then opened the bamboo tube.

There was actually a small piece of paper inside.

"This is a drawing..." Meng Shiyu looked at it for a moment, and then used a few simple symbols to confirm the position, overjoyed.

"You guys left to deal with Yuniang's body. You must handle it properly and do your best. This is a respect for the deceased and an awe for this amazing woman." Meng Shiyu said seriously.

The people below agreed.

Then Meng Shiyu led Li Yulou and another group of people to ride along the direction of the map to search.

They went around the city of Dezhou before finding the specially marked place in the north of the city, which was an abandoned earth temple.

"Go in and look for it." Standing in front of the Earth Temple, Meng Shiyu held the blueprint and ordered for a moment.

Xiao Wu led the people into the Earth Temple.

The Earth Temple is very small, so I searched it quickly.

Xiao Wu found an oiled paper bag under the pedestal of the Earth Lord.

"Master, I found it..." Xiao Wu rushed out of the Earth Temple holding an oil paper bag.

Meng Shiyu rarely showed a look of joy on his face.

He opened the oil-paper bag, and inside was a thick stack of paper.

There is also a last letter written by Ma Yushi on the top.

He had already expected that something bad would happen to him, so he kept all the results of his investigation, not only this one, but several others were hidden in various places, hoping to see the light of day again one day.

The impassioned and impassioned writing of this last letter made Meng Shiyu's face somber after reading it, as if a black cloud was covering the top.

"Shi Yu, with these evidences, Ma Yushi's grievances can be appealed..." Li Yulou comforted in a soft voice.

Meng Shiyu nodded slowly.

They brought the evidence and entered the city of Dezhou grandly, and walked across the street.

In front of the teahouse, Meng Shiyu reined in the steed and turned the horse's head to point in the direction of the teahouse.

Marquis Yong'an was still sitting here drinking tea. When he saw Meng Shiyu, he greeted Meng Shiyu with a smile, "Master Xie is really in a good mood and energetic..."

"Master Hou is really in a good mood. He drank tea here when he left the official, and he still drinks tea here now. Is Master Hou a water tank?" Xie Jianzhang said.

"Everyone has their own preferences, just like Mr. Xie likes to ride horses through the streets and flirt with widows, but this old man only likes a cup of clear tea..." Marquis Yong'an said gently raising the teacup in his hand.

Meng Shiyu said, "It's just flirting..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Yulou into his arms, leaned over and kissed her.

Marquis Yong'an was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly, "It's really a young man who is not romantic... I really admire this old man!"

"Master Hou, hurry up and live this kind of life, or you really don't have time." Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou rode across the street together.

"Master Hou, this Mr. Xie is really getting worse and worse. How can this Mrs. Meng still have a sixth-rank order..." Qin Sui said.

"Mrs. Meng doesn't care, what do we care about, not to mention the six-rank imperial order..." Marquis Yong'an sneered, but he was inexplicably uneasy in his heart. He always felt that Xie Jianzhang was provocative today, and there was something in his words.

"Go and investigate what Xie Jianzhang did and where he went out of the city, hurry up..." Yong'an Hou ordered.

Although Qin Sui felt that there was no need for this at all, he still agreed.

"That's Marquis Yong'an?" Li Yulou asked.

"Well, Marquis Yong'an, the cousin of the imperial concubine..." Meng Shiyu said in a gloomy voice, "However, he will soon be dead."
