When the night wind hit, the old woman woke up suddenly, her back was wet with sweat, and there was no red-clothed figure in front of her. Only the quiet and cold moonlight shines on the plaque above the Mengpo Temple, which looks very peaceful with the dilapidated temple.
That night, Meng Qiqi quickly left Baojia Village and went straight to Cangzhou City. But at that time, the city gate of Cangzhou was already closed, so she had to tie the horse to the dead tree outside the city, and after a little breath, she walked on the tile city wall as light as a swallow, and in the blink of an eye, she had crossed the city wall several feet high.
The guard guarding the gate only felt the figure in front of him flickering, but when he looked closely, there was nothing.
Meng Eqi first searched for the way for a while, and found the Cangzhou government office. It took a long time to turn around in the government office before I found the case database. He took the key from the dozing guard and opened the door of the warehouse by feeling the dark. She ducked in under the cover of the night, and looked at the files in rows by the light of the fire.
It wasn't until he groped for Li Yuanwai's case book that he opened it page by page and found that what the women had said before was true. The case records recorded the death of Li Yuanwai's wife and concubines, but did not specify how the murderer was caught and punished. It only scribbled on it with a pen: The perpetrator has fallen under the law.
Meng Qiqi swept the lines with cold eyes, and her heart became more and more frightened. Li Yuanwai forced his wife to kill his concubine, and found so many ghosts, officials and officials to protect each other, no wonder he was so free!
Meng Qiqi's fingertips checked from top to bottom, and finally his fingertips landed on the sign of Li Yuanwai's mansion, which was written in black and white: No. 3 Lu Shi, Babao Lane, Zhuque Street, Cangzhou City.
She closed the dossier and put it back where she was. Suddenly, she heard the sound of patrolling guards walking outside. She hurriedly blew out the fire certificate and flew out the window.
As the night deepens, the moon becomes brighter.
The watchman with the lantern went further away, and Meng Qiqi, in the midst of the sound of the drifting watch, avoided all the guards, etc., and quietly entered the Yuanwaifu.
Li Yuanwai seems to be taking more bribes on weekdays. There are five main entrances at the entrance of Yuanwai's mansion. Jade steps. Exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere in the garden. Meng Qiqi even saw a few red-crowned cranes locked up in a garden just now.
Originally, the mansion was too big, so Meng Eqi struggled to find Li Yuanwai. But he had eyesight, and suddenly there was a burst of rambling sounds from the inner courtyard. Meng Eqi followed the sound, and through the hollow diamond window, he saw a fat-brained and disheveled middle-aged man leaning on a tiger-skin high chair. Holding the beautiful maid, he was toasting and laughing loudly with another silver-robed middle-aged man beside him.
In the candle-lit inner room, the man's face was full of flesh against the background of the man's face, and he could only hear him: "Uncle must not know the taste of this, but I know it as a nephew. When I stamp a plum blossom on my maid, I will also print it out. Make you merry."
After that, he directly pulled over the beautiful maid who was about to serve him drinking: "It's you today, come here, bring up the plum blossoms of the master!"
The maid was so frightened, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Please forgive me, please forgive me."
Li Yuanwai was very dissatisfied, and he lifted his foot and kicked the servant girl's waist heavily: "I don't know what's wrong, today the official uncle is here, you dare to embarrass you!? However, it seems that I won't print ten eights for you today, and you still see how good the master is."
