Meng Qianxiu came out of Nanxun Prison and held a folding fan in his hand and knocked on his palm from time to time.

"What a tough guy, a headache."

He didn't look back, but went straight toward the Wangyue family.

The alley was quiet, and there were few cars and horses in front of Wangyue's house. He knocked on the door and said that he was Wangyue's old friend and wanted to find A Yao and Bird's Nest if you have something to do.

As soon as the morning incident happened, the aunt saw that everyone was a bad person, and she shook her head repeatedly and couldn't help putting him in the door. Meng Qianxiu kept smiling: "Since that's the case, I'll wait for them to come back nearby."

The aunt stared at Meng Qianxiu, slammed the door and asked him to eat it.

Of course, A Yao and the bird's nest were not there. They filled their stomachs and ran home. The two girls divided the work and cooperated. A Yao was responsible for packing clothes, picking up a few fried rice cakes in the kitchen, lined up the fried rice cakes, wrapped them in mulberry paper, and tied them with hemp rope. This was made yesterday, as a snack that she grinds her teeth when she was homesick, but she didn't expect that she would use them on Wangyue's body the next day.

As the name suggests, fried rice cakes are made of fried rice. The rice is fried until golden brown, ground into rice flour, and malt sugar, peanuts and chopped sesame, pressed into the printed mold to knock it out, and finally roasted. It tastes crispy and sweet, because it is made of fried rice, which is quite hungry and can be stored for a long time. A Yao only thought of this for a while. When Master Wangyue was taken away, he had not even eaten breakfast.

I don’t know how she is in prison now and whether she will be bullied by the jailer.

A Yao was in a bad mood, and her hands were only fast but not slow. After thinking about it, she used a bamboo tube to fill the meat floss and filled the water bag with cold water. When she came back, the bird's nest had already packed up a few pieces of clothing, making A Yao look at the money next to the clothes. The silver notes were pressed by neatly-coded silver ingots, and there was a small pile of broken silver and copper coins next to it.

"The silver notes are ready, and they may not be useful. The silver ingots are used to handle the prison guards, and the broken silver is for the girls to defend themselves." Bird's nest pointed at them and explained to A Yao, "I'll see what you prepared... OK, pack them up, let's go to Zuixianlou to buy a food box and then go to the prison."

Shortly after A Yao Wangyue left in an ox cart, Meng Qianxiu arrived at Wangyue's house.

...

"Who are you looking for? Come and visit Yue again?" The prison guard laughed out loud when he heard this, "It's okay to visit, three hundred taels of silver and one incense stick."

A Yao jumped up just about to do it. Why didn’t you grab the 300 taels of silver?

Bird's Nest held A Yao down, glanced at her, walked forward, and stretched out a finger: "One hundred taels. Five hundred taels I can go to find the magistrate."

"One hundred taels? One hundred taels are fine, bring it." The prisoner's eyes were swaying, and he stretched out his hand to let the bird's nest put the money in. A Yao pulled the corner of the bird's nest and attached it to her ear, and said in anger: "That person looks like he is full of bad water. What if he doesn't let us in after collecting the money?"

fine.

Bird's nest's lips moved, patted her hand, turned her back and touched her sleeve for a long time, pulled out a wrinkled silver note and handed it to the jailer. "Can we go in?"

"Little girl, you're trespassing into prison, but you're a serious crime. Don't go to the wrong place when you play." The prison guard collected the money, just like a June boy. He changed his face in an instant and drove A Yao and Bird's Nest away with a stick.

"You are indeed a liar. You won't admit your claim after taking our money!" A Yao was furious and immediately shouted loudly.

Several prisoners surrounded them, like a mountain standing in front of them. Compared with them, A Yao and the bird's nest were like small flowers and grass. "How could you little guys have money? You must be lying in line with the facts. If you don't walk away, you will not have eyes. It's hard to say that anyone will hurt. If you become a little fool, it will be even more miserable!

A Yao gritted her teeth and hated that she was not tall and could not do anything to them.

Bird's Nest protected A Yao behind her and took a few steps to distance herself from them: "Yaozhu, have you brought the invitation you asked for when you go out? The banquet post from Warden Gao and Zhao Sanniang's house." Bird's Nest suddenly asked, and she mentioned it before going out. At this moment, A Yao was a little confused when she heard the invitation, but nodded and took it out honestly: "Some."

"Okay, let's go and go to Zhao Sanniang and Warden Gao's house for a birthday banquet. You don't have to take this hundred taels to heart. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep..." Bird's Nest held A Yao's hand, disregarded her voice, and walked away, her voice drifted into the prison guard's ears. The last few words made them discolor. The silver bills they took seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they fought against each other.

Who is the warden Gao, their boss, Zhao Sanniang, the tigress lady of the magistrate.

These two people, one is in charge of the business, and the other is the family whose boss is blowing the wind beside his pillow. Especially the magistrate is afraid that his wife's family is walking horizontally in Nanxun, and their birthday banquet is around the corner. If this little girl has a way to put on her little shoes, the 100 taels in her hands will not be enough to fill in the gaps between one of them.

"Let's wait!"

Bird's Nest smiled sly at A Yao.

"Wangyue, someone is here to find you."

The iron lock clicked open, and the iron door was pushed open, and A Yao ran to the side of Wangyue: "Master Wangyue!"

"You?" Wangyue was really surprised.

"This is what we packed from Zuixianlou. Girl, you haven't eaten for a day, eat it quickly." The bird's nest opened the food box and put out a cold dish, a small stir-fry, a small cup of soup and rice. Wangyue looked at it and laughed and laughed at herself: "When is it that you are so picky about, what should I do if I stay hungry here next?"

"Not afraid." A Yao blinked and handed over the small bag, "There are meat floss and fried rice cakes in it, so I will be hungry. Master, you are innocent and will not stay here for too long!"

Wangyue lowered her eyes and lowered her head to eat. She was originally confident that she was innocent and acquitted for a day or two, but after Meng Qianxiu came, she didn't think so.

Bird's Nest was quick to notice that Wangyue's expression was wrong. After she finished eating, she asked, "Who did the girl meet? What did he say to you?"

"Meng Qianxiu has been here. He said that he was a classmate of the prefect and could convince the prefect to testify on my innocence."

"What does it mean, what does he want to do?" Bird Nest wanted to ask, but the jailer interrupted her question, saying that the time for visiting was already up and told them to leave quickly. In a hurry, Bird Nest could only say: "Girl, we are coming tomorrow."

The sunlight in Nanxun became hot. A Yao stepped out of Nanxun Prison and couldn't open her eyes. When she came out of the prison, she was thinking. There seemed to be a secret relationship between Wangyue, Meng Qianxiu and bird's nest. She also thought about what Master Wangyue said to repost Meng Qianxiu, and then remembered that when Meng Qianxiu said she wanted to accept her as her goddaughter, was it a temporary idea or something else?

She, an outsider, looks like facing a complex mystery, which seems to have nothing to do with the case, but it affects Wangyue and their fate.

So, will the death of the rich businessman be related to Meng Qianxiu?

"Bird's nest, I plan to go to the place where the incident happened."

Bird's Nest looked at her for a while, "Okay, let's take action separately. I'll go to Zhao Sanniang's house to work, start with her, and find out where the case goes. You can see if you can find clues, but you must be careful not to be discovered by them, and don't break things. This is the menu and banquet place I copied down on the day. Take it. Be careful, Miss Wangyue is only the two of us now."

"Yeah, I will!"
