Bao Zheng's proposal is indeed very reasonable, and everyone agrees with it again and again.

It's just that at this time, what else can everyone do besides protecting Xiang Xixiang and them?

After returning to Xiang Yu's home, the officials sent to investigate who was not in the village on the night of Xiang Dang's murder rushed back, and they said that they had investigated Xiangjiazhuang and Liujiazhuang, and only two of them were not in the village.

One of them, Xiang Long, said that he was not in the village on the night Xiang Dang was killed, because he had gone to visit a friend, and because the heavy snow had blocked the trip, he stayed at his friend's house for one night and returned the next day.

The other person is from Liujiazhuang, named Liu Jing, he went to play in Qingjie in Beijing that day, and he was originally going to return to the village the next day.

Among these two people, Liu Jing's suspicion is naturally the greatest, but he knows this, but he can't do anything about him, because the official went to Qingjie to investigate, and the people in Qingjie said that he did see Liu Jing that night, and he really didn't leave until the next morning.

I don't think there will be any fakes in this matter, so everyone has to focus on Xiang Long to see if he really lived at a friend's house that day.

It's not very difficult, it's just that Lang is more time-consuming.

In the afternoon, the weather was still overcast and the wind was blowing a chill.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were waiting for news at Xiang Yu's mansion, while Hua Lang and the others were wandering around.

Xiangjiazhuang is very close to the capital, and there are often guests to the capital to stay overnight, so there is an inn in this place, although it is not very big, but the business is very good, especially in the cold winter season like this, the guests miss the time to enter the city, and only stay here for one night.

Hua Lang and the others wanted to get more information, so they asked for warm wine and a few catties of beef at the inn, and listened to the people nearby talking while eating.

It's just that although there are people in the inn, they are talking about things that Hualang and they are not interested in, so this makes everyone very helpless, after sitting for a stick of incense, Wen Meng can't sit still, she shouts to leave, maybe she meets someone on the street, and maybe she can get some news.

Everyone also felt the same way, so they were about to leave, but just when everyone was about to leave, the people at the next table suddenly laughed and said: "I haven't seen Xiang Yu's Mei Ji walking around the village for a long time, who of you knows the reason?" ”

There were a few men sitting at the next table, and they all seemed to be a little lustful, and after the man said this, the other person also hurriedly smiled: "Yes, who knows, I haven't seen Mei Ji for a long time, I miss him a little." ”

"You two be quiet, although Mei Ji's previous identity was not very glorious, but now she is the concubine of the owner of the village here, and the owner of the village has heard it, be careful that you will have a bad time in the future."

After being reminded by one person, the two people just now immediately became cautious.

However, although they were cautious, they could not suppress their curiosity and longing for Mei Ji, and soon, another person bowed his head slightly, and said: "It is said that ......, you are not allowed to spread it everywhere, it is said that Mei Ji often runs to Liujiazhuang, and after Xiang Yu found out about this, he put her under house arrest at home, and now she is not allowed to go anywhere." ”

After this person finished speaking, the others sighed again and again: "This Mei Ji is also true, doesn't she know that we have a grudge between Xiangjiazhuang and Liujiazhuang, she is now Xiang Yu's concubine, how can she still run to Liujiazhuang?" ”

The others chimed in, and they said this in a way that showed nothing but the disappointment on their faces that it was difficult to see Maggie.

After talking like this for a while, they moved on to other things.

And Wen Meng and Hua Lang here were a little excited, they were just when there was no news, but it happened that at this time, they heard the news.

That Mei Ji often goes to Liujiazhuang, why is that?

Hua Lang felt that this matter must be related to the killing of Xiang Dang, and the day Xiang Dang became stupid, he saw Mei Ji go to Liujiazhuang, so he was beaten.

Maggie? Hua Lang's heart is a little heavy, is this beautiful woman the kind of person who will do something murderous? What did she do in Liujiazhuang?

When they walked out of the inn, the cold wind was heavier, but everyone was very excited, and everyone hurried to Xiang Yu's house and immediately went to see Xiang Yu.

At that time, Bao Zheng was chatting with Xiang Yu in the living room, and when Hua Lang and others hurriedly ran over, Bao Zheng was very strange and hurriedly asked: "Brother Hua is in such a hurry, but what clues did you find?" ”

Hua Lang glanced at Bao Zheng and didn't say anything, then his gaze stayed on Xiang Yu and said, "There are a few questions I want to ask the owner of Xiang Zhuang, and I also ask the owner of Xiang Zhuang not to blame." ”

Xiang Yu was a little surprised when he saw Hua Lang suddenly say these words to himself, and looked up at Hua Lang for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so after a long time, he said: "The playboy has something to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I know everything." ”

Hanaro bowed his head and said, "I want to ask about Mei Ji!" ”

"Maggie?" Xiang Yu was taken aback, he really didn't understand why Hua Lang suddenly remembered to ask Mei Ji, Xiang Yu looked at Hua Lang and said, "The playboy asked Mei Ji about it, did Mei Ji make the playboy unhappy?" ”

Hua Lang shook his head: "Miss Mei Ji didn't make me unhappy, I just heard that Mei Ji had been to Liujiazhuang before, so I wanted to find out what was going on." ”

As soon as Hua Lang mentioned that Mei Ji had been to Liujiazhuang, Xiang Yu's face suddenly became ugly, and then he suddenly became very nervous, and asked, "Could the playboy suspect that Xiang Dang and Xiang Si were killed by Mei Ji?" It's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, Maggie can't do such a thing, and she hasn't been out of the house lately! ”

Xiang Yu wanted to defend Mei Ji, but Hua Lang didn't want to hear this, so he frowned slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, we will judge whether Mei Ji is a murderer or not, now please tell me about Mei Ji, since you locked Mei Ji in the mansion, you must know that she has been to Liujiazhuang, right?" ”

Xiang Yu's face became more ugly, and he looked more hesitant, after a long time, he said: "This matter is a long story, Mei Ji was a woman in the dust before, and I and the Liu Gang of Liujiazhuang were her benefactors, and then I was dissatisfied with sharing Mei Ji with the Liu Gang, so I paid to redeem Mei Ji, but when I ransomed Mei Ji, there was a little accident, I didn't expect that Liu Bang also wanted to redeem Mei Ji, if it wasn't for the high price I paid at that time, the old bustard in the Qinglou was an open-eyed person, Mei Ji belonged to the Liu Gang." ”

Xiang Yu said this, his face couldn't help but blush slightly, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was too excited.
