Concubine

Chapter 46 A Straw Hat

Bai Sumei glanced at the brush and white paper, shrank back, and hid in Mrs. Bai's arms.No matter what they said or tried to persuade her, she seemed to be deaf, and she didn't respond except for the occasional light coughing sound.

After discussing with each other, everyone thought that she might be overly frightened and her head is still not clear, so it is not appropriate to force her, and she will ask slowly later.Seeing that it was getting late, the old Yin and his wife bid farewell and left.The Bai couple asked Yin Dehao to take care of their daughter and were about to leave, but Bai Sumei held her mother tightly and refused to let her go.

Madam Bai was helpless, and decided to stay with her daughter for a while longer, and leave after she fell asleep.At this moment, someone from the Yamen came to report that Song Zhi County was arrested by Jin Yiwei, and Song Yuner immediately rushed back to the Yamen.

After Yang Qiuchi mediated the release of the magistrate of Song, Yang Qiuchi told Song Yuner that Yin De was probably the real murderer, and that he might kill people tonight, and taught her how to deal with it. Song Yuner ran back to the inner office and said nothing. Saying "Daddy is fine, don't worry", he rushed into the account room, took 200 taels of silver, went back to his boudoir, took a bag and carried it on his back, and immediately returned to the interrogation room. After handing over the silver to Jin Yiwei, he also Before he could speak to Song Zhixian, he rushed straight to Yin's house.

Only a few lights were on in the Yin family's compound, like will-o'-the-wisps floating in the cemetery at night.When the gatekeeper saw Song Yuner, he hurriedly bowed his waist to say hello, but just said: "Miss, you..." Song Yuner had disappeared.

Song Yuner rushed to the bottom of the small attic and started to shout loudly: "Sister Bai! Are you okay? I'm back!"

Ding ding dong dong stepped on the stairs and rushed up to the small attic. When I reached the door, I was about to kick it, but the door was opened. Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai Qian stood at the door. Mrs. Bai waved her hand to Song Yuner: "Be quiet! Your sister Bai Just fell asleep!" Mr. Bai Qian said: "You came back just in time, we are going back to rest."

When Song Yun'er saw Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai Qian, a stone fell to the ground.Since Bai Sumei's parents haven't left yet, Bai Sumei probably hasn't had any accidents yet, she didn't bother to say hello, she pierced like an arrow in front of Bai Sumei's bed, bent down to check, and saw that Bai Sumei's breathing was steady, her high chest rose and fell with her breathing, so she let it go Heart.He took off the burden on his back and put it beside the bed.

Mrs. Bai came over to look at her daughter, and said to Song Yuner: "Just now the doctor prescribed him a tranquilizing medicine, and she fell asleep after taking it." After finishing speaking, she lovingly kissed her daughter on the forehead. After a while, he said to Song Yuner, "Miss Song, we, Meier, will trouble you to take care of me."

Song Yuner stood up and patted her chest: "Don't worry! Madam Bai, I will definitely protect Sister Bai!"

Boss Bai Qian said: "I'm sorry!" He took Mrs. Bai's hand and went out.

Seeing Yin De standing aside, Song Yun'er showed no intention of leaving, she put on a pretty face, and asked, "Hey! They're all gone, if you don't leave, what are you still doing here?"

Yin De laughed twice: "I'm going? Where are I going? This is my room."

Song Yun'er put her arms around her shoulders and said with a sneer, "Your room? Didn't you hear what my brother said? I want to protect Sister Bai personally, so I borrowed your room, so you can find another place to sleep."

"Ah? How can there be a little girl like you who forces a couple to live apart?" Yin De couldn't laugh or cry.

"Why, haven't you seen it? Didn't you see it now?" Song Yun'er hugged her shoulders, looking arrogant and unreasonable.

"Okay, okay! I'm afraid of you, I'm leaving!" Yin De saw that Song Yun'er didn't intend to back down, so he could only give in and cupped his hands, "Here, Yin, thank Miss Song for taking care of my wife."

"It's easy to say! Easy to say!" Song Yun'er cupped her fists in return, sneering.

After Yin De left, Song Yun'er did not take off her clothes to go to bed, but sat by the window, watching the dark night outside, as if she was waiting for something.

Yang Qiuchi asked Da Banya for the things that Hu San was detained when he entered prison, found the bunch of keys, and then went to Widow Xie's house with Ma Du, more than a dozen Jinyi guards, and his personal bodyguard, Xiao Heigou, It was quietly surrounded here.

Under the cover of night, Ma Du and Yang Qiuchi observed carefully, but found no movement. The potted flower that Hu San mentioned was still obediently on the window sill.

Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du slowly sneaked into the door of Widow Xie's house, and after listening, there was no movement or movement.Yang Qiuchi tilted his head, motioning to go in, Ma Du nodded, and whispered to Jin Yiwei to hide and not to startle the snake.Yang Qiuchi took out Hu San's key, opened the door, and slipped in together with Ma Du, three brocade guards and the little black dog.

The room was pitch black, Yang Qiuchi, Ma Du and the others squatted in the door, and waited for their eyes to slowly adapt to the darkness in the room before ordering the three Jinyi guards to find a place to hide.

Widow Xie's house has only two rooms inside and outside, and there is no big furniture. Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du checked the two rooms first, but they didn't see anything, so they hid beside a large cabinet.

After ambush for about a stick of incense, Ma Du became a little impatient. If the recipient never came, would he just wait like this?Ma Du quietly asked Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, shall we just wait like this? If not, let's go back first and ask some brothers to wait here, what do you think?"

Yang Qiuchi smiled secretly: This big-bellied general flag wants to make meritorious service, but he doesn't want to be tired, so he said in a low voice, "That's fine, let's go back."

Ma Du nodded, and the two left the closet. Ma Du ordered the three brocade guards to continue to wait, and arrest anyone who entered the room, and then walked out the door with Yang Qiuchi.

When passing a generous table by the wall, Yang Qiuchi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ma Du asked, "What's the matter? Brother."

Yang Qiuchi didn't speak, he reached out to pick up a straw hat from the table, and observed carefully the moonlight coming in from outside.He measured it with his fingers, compared it with the top of his head, and said to himself: "It's strange~!"

Ma Du saw the straw hat as soon as he entered the room, and didn't think it was anything special, so he asked suspiciously, "What's so strange?"

"Whose straw hat is it?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ma Du still didn't understand.

Yang Qiuchi said in a low voice: "Lord Ma, this widow Xie is petite. This straw hat is too big for me to wear. It will definitely not belong to widow Xie."

Ma Du's eyes lit up, yes, then he remembered something again: "Could it be the widow Xie's adulterer?"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "His figure is not as good as mine, and he can't wear it." He paused, thought for a while, and then said: "Judging from this size, the person wearing this hat either has a head like a watermelon. The big fat man, or a burly man with a height of more than 1.9 meters."

"1.9 meters?" Ma Du didn't know what unit of measurement this meter is, so he asked.

Yang Qiuchi was also aware of this problem, but he still couldn't figure out how much the 1.9 meters was converted into an ancient ruler, so he said, "It's taller and stronger than you and me."

Ma Du stretched out his hand to stroke the caliber of the straw hat, then compared it to his own head, and exclaimed, "That's right, brother has good eyesight." After a pause, he asked again, "But what does this mean?"

What a fool!Yang Qiuchi cursed secretly, and patiently explained: "This straw hat is neither Widow Xie's nor Hu San's, and it is placed on the square table of Widow Xie's house. Whose do you think it belongs to?"

"Whose one?" Ma Du lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted happily: "Could it be the person who came to receive the letter?"

Yang Qiuchi pondered: "It's very possible."
