The guards of the Gao Mansion didn't fire any of their bows and arrows. He was so angry that Gao Heng cursed trash, turned around and left Mrs. Gao's body.
"This witch actually said she was just having fun with us adults! That's too much!"
Uncle Wu said calmly, "But if Miss Xiaoqi doesn't say this, I'm afraid Gao Heng and the others won't let you go so easily. Miss Xiaoqi's words have cleared up the choice for us adults."
Song Zhu: ...Yes.
"That's not what she said." Liu Ruyan secretly said, "Who knows how sincere she is when she says she's tired of playing."
Meng Huaixuan's hands tightened unconsciously, "I want to be alone."
Song Zhu and Liu Ruyan wanted to talk again, but were stopped by Uncle Wu.
Meng Huaixuan returned to Jun Qiqi's previous room alone.
The bed was still messy, and she hadn't taken away her most precious little pocket, and the hairpins and jewelry in it were scattered around.
Meng Huaixuan smiled helplessly and stepped forward to clean up her habitually. In the past, Jun Qiqi would suddenly appear and lean on Meng Huaixuan's shoulder and laugh.
"Oh, Meng Lang is so kind to me!"
"My Meng Lang is the best!"
"Meng Lang, don't leave me."
"Meng Lang——"
The person who was supposed to always stick to him suddenly disappeared. Meng Huaixuan felt empty in his heart. No one would call him Meng Lang rogue anymore.
He put the packed things back on the bedside, but caught a glimpse of what seemed to be placed under the pillow.
He reached out and touched it, but there were several medicine bottles and a piece of paper.
There was a line of words written on the paper, "Meng Lang, you can't stop taking the medicine. Take one pill a day. I will be back after eating it."
Meng Huaixuan smiled knowingly, carefully put the note away and placed it on his chest like a treasure.
No one knows what Gao Heng did and thought when he locked himself in the study. They only know that in the evening, the first thing he did when he walked out of the study was to announce that the Gao family was going to hold a funeral or a big funeral.
In addition to Mrs. Gao and Gao Peiyao, the 24 deceased maids must also be buried together, so that they can enter the Gao family's ancestral grave together in the name of Gao Peiyao's concubines.
The family members who were originally filled with indignation because of their daughter's death immediately became grateful to Gao Heng. After all, Gao Heng was generous and gave him a lot of money as a pension. Secondly, the most fearful thing about death is that there is no place to return to, and the unmarried girl died. She is not qualified to enter the graveyard of her own family, and can only settle with a rolled-up straw mat. Now that Gao Heng is out, he can not only enter the ancestral graves of the Gao family, but also become the aunt of the Gao family. Even if he dies, he will still be competing with the Gao family. Fucked a relative.
The people do not raise officials and do not correct the case. The evidence in Gao Peiyao's murder case was already scarce. Once Mrs. Gao died, the witness was gone. Now the victim's family will no longer pursue the case, and the case can only be closed like this.
"There will be a funeral tomorrow? This is to cut through the mess quickly and destroy the corpse! This Gao Heng is really good at playing. If this happens, wouldn't our work be in vain?" Song Zhuyi was filled with anger, and Uncle Wu comforted him, "Gao Peiyao, this The murderer is dead, Mrs. Gao, the accomplice, is also dead, and the case is closed."
"But if the girls who were killed knew it, I would have to die in the same hole as the murderer who killed them. How disgusting may it be?"
"Don't worry about this." Uncle Wu looked a little worried, "Gao Heng definitely doesn't have such good intentions. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Do you think Gao Heng seems to be such a kind person?"
Meng Huaixuan held the medicine bottle left by Jun Qiqi in his hand, "Let Mo Han check and see if he can find anything. Anyway, no matter what he wants to do, we will find out tomorrow."
**
Li Mansion was completely dark.
Li Zhizhi was dressed in white clothes and wearing white flowers on his head, sitting on the porch.
Liu Ruyan laughed sarcastically, "Only wives are qualified to wear hemp and mourning, right? Miss Li hasn't married into a high official yet."
"What are you here for? Want to see my jokes?"
"Are you kidding me?" Liu Ruyan really hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. "The secret tunnel is built between the Li Mansion and the Gao Mansion. Aren't you afraid that the Li Mansion itself will not be able to protect itself?"
"It's not your turn to worry about it. There will be a funeral in Gaofu tomorrow and everything will be settled. No one can reverse the verdict."
"Don't you want to avenge your beloved Gao Peiyao?"
"Revenge? How?" Li Zhizhi lamented again and again, "That demon girl is the young master of Qingfeng Village."
"A cottage bandit is a ragtag group of people. It's enough to suppress the bandits."
"It's easy for you to say. Qingfeng Village has stood for hundreds of years and has never been destroyed."
"There were too few people just here to suppress the bandits. Do you think Qingfeng Stronghold could be able to withstand it if there were defenders protecting the city?"
"Army? How can such a good thing happen? If it's not an important matter, dad can't use the city guards." "Of course, it can't be used for ordinary trivial matters. But what if a beautiful girl is robbed?"
"The beautiful girl was robbed?" Li Zhizhi raised his head, his face still full of tears, "The beautiful girl being robbed is a big deal, and the Holy Emperor will definitely send troops."
As soon as she finished speaking, she thought again, "But the escorts for the beautiful girls are all people sent by the capital, so it is difficult to bribe them all. Besides, Qingfeng Village is not stupid and will not kidnap the beautiful girls for no reason."
"So you need a beautiful girl who can cooperate with you inside and outside." Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed, "If by that time, I, a beautiful girl, take the initiative to run to Qingfeng Village, I will definitely insist that Qingfeng Village has hijacked me. You and I are in harmony with each other inside and outside, and Qingfeng Village can’t explain it even if the whole body is covered with words.”
Li Zhizhi hesitated for a few times. In fact, she said she would help Liu Ruyan enter the talent show before, but she was fooling her. She wished that Liu Ruyan would be stuck in the mud all her life, so how could she sincerely help her, but now - "I I will tell my father."
This matter was done very quickly. Li Zhizhi's father was already worried that there were only a few young ladies in this class, and each one was more ugly than the next. Liu Ruyan was pretty good-looking, and she was from a famous family.Originally, she was not among the show girls and was a bit overage, but that didn't matter. Li Zhizhi's father made the decision on the spot to include her as a show girl.
Meng Huaixuan has been making Sun Ze keep an eye on the Li family these days. Gao Peiyao's secret tunnel will never be dug near the Li family for no reason. At that time, Sun Ze sent people in and touched the backyard of the Li family, but the Li family bit him to death without knowing it. .
Meng Huaixuan remembered that Mrs. Gao once said that Li Zhizhi and Gao Peiyao were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship.
Sun Ze had been keeping an eye on the news in the Li Mansion, so he immediately told Meng Huaixuan that Liu Ruyan wanted to draft a girl.
Meng Huaixuan looked indifferent, but Song Zhu was a little anxious. Previously, in his heart, Liu Ruyan was the best match for Meng Huaixuan. Although he was shaken by the fake Jiang Sijin in the middle, but now the fake Jiang Sijin turned out to be a witch!
His mind returned to Liu Ruyan.
Meng Huaixuan always pretended not to know about Song Zhu's messy love affairs for him, but this time he deliberately said, "It doesn't matter if you go to Beijing to draft a girl, you will save her from always wasting time with me. I always treat her very well." I just treat her like a sister, but I don’t want to be misunderstood by her for so long.”
Song Zhu: ...It’s no longer easy to say these words of advice.
**
Early the next morning, the Gao family mourned. The 24 missing girls, including Yue'er, Mrs. Gao and Gao Peiyao, a total of 27 coffins, filled the Gao family ancestral hall.
Butler Zhu was in agony. He hated Gao Peiyao and the Gao family so much that he didn't want Yue'er to be Gao Peiyao's concubine. But if it wasn't done properly, Yue'er could only throw a roll of straw mat into a mass grave. Butler Zhu's beloved daughter If you are eager, you can only swallow a bitter pill.
Above the mourning hall, Butler Zhu wanted to see Yue'er for the last time, but was violently blocked by Gao Heng's servants.
The white-haired man sent the black-haired man away, Butler Zhu cried so hard that he could hardly stand, Gao An Mu Ming's servant gave him a hand, saw all this, turned around and told Meng Huaixuan everything that happened.
"Why are you telling me, the second-grade son?" Meng Huaixuan said calmly, "There are no eggs left unharmed when the nest is overturned. Don't you understand this truth, the second-grade son?"
"If I had a choice, I would rather be born into an ordinary family." Gao Anmu smiled bitterly, "It's a shame to be involved in the tax and money matter. I have written a letter and reported everything that happened here to Eunuch Zhu."
Eunuch Zhu is a popular figure in front of the Holy Emperor today. It turns out he has found a backer.
Meng Huaixuan nodded, "Don't worry, even if Eunuch Zhu doesn't tell me, I will write to the Emperor to tell the truth."
Song Zhu couldn't understand what the two people were talking about at all, "What does this funeral have to do with taxes and money?"
Uncle Wu explained: "Twenty-seven coffins left the Gao Mansion in a mighty manner, but the number of people carrying the coffins was twice as many as before."
"Gao Peiyao's death was a great shame and humiliation, but Gao Heng actually did it with great fanfare. Don't you think it's strange?"
Song Zhu couldn't help but gasped, "Are you saying that the tax money is in the coffin?"
Uncle Wu nodded and quickly informed Sun Ze. Sun Ze acted very quickly. Before the 27 coffins reached the cemetery, they were stopped by people from the Yamen.
"Master Sun, what do you mean by this? If you miss the auspicious time for my son's burial, be careful of my son looking for you at night!"
"You don't say anything, but you are so powerful that you don't want to scare your subordinates." Sun Ze is the local county magistrate, and his rank is much lower than Gao Heng's, but right next to him stands Meng Huaixuan, the imperial envoy from the capital, who has the power to kill everything. The official sword.
"Someone reported that there are other things hidden in Master Gao's coffin. The dismissal is just a routine matter." Sun Ze has always been able to act and never say much. Before the servant of Gao Mansion could react, he waved his hand and the Yamen came forward. , and pushed the coffin open with one strike of his sword.
Several government officials searched for a long time and walked to Sun Ze and Meng Huaixuan with gloomy faces.
"No?" Sun Ze frowned, "Is there a case?"
The leading yamen servant shook his head, "The weight of this coffin has been tried by my brothers. It's about the same as an ordinary coffin."
"How are you, Mr. Sun? Mr. Meng? Have you found what you are looking for?" Gao Heng crossed his arms as if watching a show, and walked into Meng Huaixuan step by step, with a sly smile on his face, "The 36 Strategies of No. .15 stratagem, I can also use it.”
"Hahahahaha! Let's go!"
"Sir, what does he mean?"
Meng Huaixuan's face was unusually solemn, "Plan No. 36 of 15, to divert the tiger away from the mountain."
"This witch actually said she was just having fun with us adults! That's too much!"
Uncle Wu said calmly, "But if Miss Xiaoqi doesn't say this, I'm afraid Gao Heng and the others won't let you go so easily. Miss Xiaoqi's words have cleared up the choice for us adults."
