After leaving Liu Bang's house, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang were directly divided into two groups.

One of them went to Zhuangtou to find Liu Erwen, and the other went to Zhuangwei to find Liu Xiaole.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce went directly to Zhuangtou, and Hualang and they went to Zhuangwei.

At this time, the snow scene in Liujiazhuang was ruined, and there was nothing to see along the way, Hualang and they went straight to Liu Xiaole's house, and explained their intentions straight to the point.

Liu Xiaole is in his thirties, but he has a great temper, and when he heard that Hua Lang suspected that he had beaten Xiang Dang, he immediately said angrily: "The people of Xiang Jiazhuang should have died, and they should have died, hum!" ”

Seeing Liu Xiaole like this, Hua Lang frowned slightly: "So, do you admit that you have beaten the Xiang Party?" ”

"I ......" Although Liu Xiaole hates the people of Xiangjiazhuang, he is just an ordinary person in the end, where he dares to ignore his life because he is angry? After a few clicks, he hurriedly defended: "I didn't say that the old man of the cauldron Xiang Party, I have never beaten him, and I have never seen him come to our Liujiazhuang." ”

Seeing Liu Xiaole say this, it couldn't eliminate Hua Lang's doubts, so at this time, Hua Lang asked: "So where are you this summer, the day Xiang Dang's brain suddenly had a problem?" Just tell your whereabouts that afternoon. ”

was asked by Hua Lang like this, Liu Xiaole seemed very hesitant.

At this time, Hua Lang said coldly: "If you can't think of it, or don't want to say it, then we have reason to suspect that you once beat Xiang Dang and killed him recently." ”

"I didn't kill anyone!" Liu Xiaole was suddenly a little excited.

"Since you didn't kill anyone, tell me your whereabouts that day."

Liu Xiaole's face was ugly, and after hesitating for a long time, he had to say: "I went to the gambling house with my friends that day, and I didn't come back until the evening, and I lost a lot of money. ”

As soon as he heard Liu Xiaole beating his wife, Wen Meng suddenly became angry and said, "Are you a man, if you lose gambling outside, come back and beat your wife, see if I don't teach you a lesson." Wen Meng said, he was about to step forward to teach Liu Xiaole a lesson, Liu Xiaole knew Wen Meng's identity, although he was not afraid of women, he didn't dare to offend Wen Meng, a woman, so when Wen Meng came to teach him a lesson, he hurriedly dodged.

At this time, Hua Lang hurriedly grabbed Wen Meng and said with a smile: "We are here to solve the case, not for you to take care of other people's parents." ”

Although Hua Lang's words were good, Wen Meng was still very angry, but because it was important to solve the case, she didn't argue anymore to teach Liu Xiaole a lesson.

Hua Lang and the others inquired about his friends from Liu Xiaole and the gambling house they went to, and then left.

After everyone met at Liujiazhuang, Bao Zheng told them about their investigation.

"I'm afraid that Liu Erwen didn't beat Xiang Dang." As soon as Bao Zheng opened his mouth, he said such a statement.

Hua Lang didn't refute it, but asked with a smile, "Does he have alibi evidence?" ”

Bao Zheng nodded: "He has been doing business outside for the past few days, and someone can testify." ”

Hua Lang believed Bao Zheng's words very much, so after listening to Bao Zheng's words, he didn't say that he had any doubts about it, and at this time, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and asked, "What are the results of your investigation?" ”

Hua Lang told the results of their investigation, and then asked Bao Zheng to send someone to investigate the gambling house and the people Liu Xiaole said.

After leaving Liujiazhuang, everyone went directly back to Xiang Yu's home in Xiangjiazhuang to wait for news.

The news came slowly, probably in the evening.

After the official came back, the people who said that Liu Xiaole was indeed in their gambling house that day, and he lost a lot of money, and if it wasn't for the gambling house owner who took pity on him and didn't accept his clothes when he left, he was afraid that he would have to go home shirtless.

Now that it has been confirmed that Liu Xiaole did not have time to beat Xiang Dang, then he could not be the murderer.

In this way, did Xiang Dang go to Liujiazhuang, did he get beaten somewhere, and did he discover any secrets?

After dinner, the sky suddenly snowflakes, Hua Lang stood in the courtyard looking at the sky, suddenly remembered that she saw Mei Ji this morning, does she like plum blossoms very much, so at this time, will she go to see plum blossoms?

Thinking of this, Hanalang quietly went to the back garden.

At this time, the sky will be twilight, the back garden has a layer of snow, the cold wind blows a little bleak, but also blows a few petals of plum blossoms, Hualang stands at the door of the back garden and looks in, only to see the plum blossom tree, standing a beautiful woman, the woman is still facing away from Hualang, raising her eyes to look at the snowflakes in the sky, maybe plum blossoms.

On the top of the woman's head, plum blossoms fell with snowflakes, and the woman's hair was blown by the cold wind, and the scenery in front of her seemed to be in a painting.

Hua Lang was stunned for a while, he stood at the door of the back garden, and after a long time, he asked, "Madame is looking at plum blossoms?" ”

When Mei Ji heard Hua Lang's voice, she was suddenly startled, she quickly turned around, and saw that it was Hua Lang, so she saluted and smiled: "It turned out to be a playboy." ”

Mei Ji's smile was also cold, like plum blossoms in winter, but Hua Lang felt that he was going to be captured by her coldness.

Hua Lang took a few steps forward, stopped not far from Mei Ji, and said with a smile: "Madame is still here to enjoy the plum blossoms so late, won't the owner of Xiang Zhuang be in a hurry?" ”

Mei Ji smiled slightly: "Master, he knows that I like to come here to see plum blossoms, and I won't be in a hurry, but it's you, a dude, why do you have the heart to come here?" ”

Hanarang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I suddenly wanted to see plum blossoms, so I came." ”

Hua Lang said and raised his eyes to look at Mei Ji, only to see Mei Ji was also looking at him from a distance, when Mei Ji saw that Hua Lang found that he was looking at him, he suddenly turned around and said, "I heard that the playboy is very talented, I wonder if I can use this plum blossom as a lyric today?" ”

If it was before, Hwarang really didn't want to join in the fun, but now that there is a beauty like Mei Ji, how can Hwarang let the opportunity pass.

So, as soon as Mei Ji asked Hua Lang if he could write the first words, Hua Lang walked towards Mei Blossom, and chanted as he went:

The flowers bloom on their heads, and they are seen in the ice and snow. The frost and the moon know each other, and the spring breeze is known first.

The master has deep affection, regardless of Concubine Jiang's grievances. Fold my most prosperous branches, and recommend curling.

This is a poem written by Xin Qiji, which writes Mei Zhiqinghan into the bones, which can be regarded as Yongmei's masterpiece.

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Mei Ji turned to look at Hua Lang and smiled: "Others say that the playboy is talented and quick-witted, and it is really extraordinary, and the little woman admires it so much." ”
