Chapter 153: Confession

Meng Shoubei's brows furrowed, his eyes rolled a few times, as if he had been touched by something, and there was some suspicion in his voice.

"Have you ever met him? What kind of person is he? ”

"I don't know, I haven't met him. I knocked on the back door of the Tang family and handed them to his mother. ”

"Do you know how to read?"

The slumped-nosed Qiangdong shook his head.

Meng Shoubei said again: "So, how do you know that this person's name is Tang Anguo?"

Qiang Dong replied: "That's what Miss Shang told me, it seems that he has a young master at home, so Miss Shang and I made it very clear." I'm afraid I've delivered the wrong letter. ”

"Is this the truth?"

"It's all the truth, old man, if the little one has half a lie, let the old man kill him, and there will be no complaints!"

Meng Shoubei glanced at Nie Xiaoman, indicating that his questioning was over, Nie Xiaoman nodded lightly, and then proceeded to interrogate Qiang Dong.

Xiaoman asked: "Qiang Dong, I believe that your words are true, but you had better be more detailed." When was her first letter delivered to you the day before yesterday? ”

The man from the tiger stove replied without hesitation: "Probably in the middle of the day, when the day is just dawning." ”

"What did she tell you?"

"She said that her mother had died and that there was no one to take care of her at home, so she asked me to send a letter to a relative and ask him to take care of the funeral. She also paid me a penny of silver to pay for my feet. At that time, my little persimmon also got up to work, and for the sake of the silver, there was not much distance to Fengjie, so I decided to give her a run. ”

"Does she have anything else to say?

"No more. Although she walked by our shop every day, she never greeted me. ”

"Did she tell you not to tell anyone else about the delivery?"

"That's what I said, old man. That's why I feel a little sorry for her at the moment.

"You'd better take care of your own life first, how is it today?

"It was earlier to-morday, before dawn, and she spoke less, and she gave me a penny and a letter, and told me to send it to her at once."

"Is there a reply?

Qiang Dong shook his head again. "No, Miss Shang didn't ask me to reply."

Jing Mo felt that this point was related to Liu Qing's news, and he couldn't help but interject from the side.

Jing Mo asked: "This morning's letter has also had an effect, in the hour time, this surnamed Tang has been to Shang's house again. Naturally, this is what Liu Qing just told Jing Mo.

Nie Xiaoman then turned his head to look at Jing Mo, nodded again, stood up again and approached Meng Shoubei's side, Fu Er said, Meng Shoubei hadn't replied yet, and the guy with the nose suddenly asked curiously.

"Dare to ask the old man, what did Miss Shang do......

Meng Shoubei also stood up, shook his hand again and again, and said: "This is not your business, don't talk nonsense, now you can go back, but if Miss Shang asks you to deliver the letter again, you can secretly bring the letter here to show me, I have a lot of rewards, you don't talk nonsense about the current matter to anyone, then you can be safe and sound." Otherwise, you're going to have to learn how to walk on your knees, you know? ”

After the Jiangbei people Qiangdong walked out, Nie Xiaoman spoke first.

"Brother Meng, do you know this Tang Anguo?"

Meng Shoubei was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, revealing an expression that you always know everything. Then, he deliberately lowered his voice and replied.

"Yes, there is a thousand people named Tang Yangsheng in the yamen of our guard house who has two sons, the eldest is called Tang Anguo, and the younger one is called Tang Zhifu, both of whom are still studying in the school. But I don't believe his eldest son will have a part in this matter.

Nie Xiaoman groaned slightly, and said, "Whether there is a score or not, we can't say it now." But since you know each other, you might as well ask this Tang Anguo to talk. ”

Meng Shoubei's dark eyes rolled quickly again, and then he showed a wry smile that looked like embarrassment and helplessness.

"Master Nie, what do you want him to talk about?"

"Of course, it's about this mystery case."

"This ...... This ......"

"Brother Meng, what is your opinion?

"Lord Nie, please forgive me for being presumptuous. You don't seem to have any factual basis in this matter, if you rashly invite this Tang Gongzi to this place to talk, don't you think it's a little inappropriate? ”

Nie Xiaoman replied with confidence: "I believe that there must be an unknown inside story about this matter, and I also believe that Tang Anguo must know about it." ”

The bitter smile of embarrassment and helplessness appeared on Meng Xiaoran's face again. He scratched his head and reluctantly replied, "Master Nie, this is just your 'belief' after all." You should know that he is no better than the strong east on the tiger's stove, just send a brother to arrest him, even if he is beaten, there is no problem. Master Nie, you are also mixed in the six doors, you always know that he is ...... He's ......"

Nie Xiaoman saw his twisted state, and an apologetic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded, and slowly propped himself up.

Xiaoman said: "Haha, Brother Meng, I understand, I thought that this Tang Anguo lived in your territory, so it would save some trouble to call him to talk nearby, and there would be one more witness to talk here." Now that you think it's inconvenient, I can think of another way. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you, I still have something to do first. ”

Jing Mo then followed Nie Xiaoman out of Jinlingwei, and this son was already about a quarter past noon. Jing Mo invited Nie Xiaoman to his house for lunch because of time. Nie Xiaoman thought about it for a while, and didn't shirk it, so he went to Jingmo Mansion together. Nanxing was unprepared because of Nie Xiaoman's sudden arrival, so he wanted to go to the restaurant to order food, but Nie Xiaoman refused to stop him. Xiaoman said that he was not here as a guest, and there were urgent matters that must be carried out immediately and could not be delayed. Therefore, I ate two bowls of old lo mein indiscriminately, and ended this lunch in a hurry.

After dinner, Xiaoman and Jing Mo came to the study, and Jing Mo began to discuss the steps with Nie Xiaoman. Jing Mo initially assumed that the scholar surnamed Tang was suspected of being the mastermind, but now that he knew his name and family, he naturally thought that it was a line that could be started. But after all, this person is an official person, and if he wants to make any moves on his side, he can't help but think about how to end up a little.

Jing Mo said: "Xiaoman, I looked at the attitude of the Meng guard, although he had some scruples because of the relationship between the management and the field, but he said that we only have ideas, and there is no actual evidence, but it is also a fact. ”

Nie Xiaoman let out a sigh of helplessness and replied, "Yes, I also admit it. But the situation was so urgent that I might have to take a risk. ”

"How are you going to take the risk?"

"We know that Lai's cousin, Master Li Dege, is going to arrive today. If, after he arrives, Tang Anguo is sent by him, it will be even more difficult for us to start. It's better to take advantage of the fact that they don't have time to meet and discuss countermeasures, so I will go and meet this surnamed Tang, and maybe I can get the truth of some things. Because I guess that this Tang Anguo is still a young man after all, and if there is no one to teach him, it may be easier to deal with. If you have nothing else, will you go with me?

Jing Mo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Of course, of course, I was ready to do something for you, I'll go with you." Saying that, Jing Mo took a long breath and asked, "But Xiaoman, apart from him, do you think there are any more tangible and sure clues?" ”
