Chapter 82 Searching the Inn
Gu Qingyou clenched the hand that was about to close the door: "What do you mean? They searched for people and came here?"

The shopkeeper thought she was angry, so he quickly stopped and explained: "Perhaps it's a routine inspection, I'm going to ask you now, my lord, don't be impatient."

Before he could go downstairs, Meng Yan had already led the officers and soldiers up the steps. His eyes were gloomy, and seeing Gu Qingyou scrutinized for a long time, he smirked and said, "Assassins are rampant outside, why don't young madam rest in the room?"

"I heard from the shopkeeper that the assassin has been caught, and I was planning to go out for a stroll, and Mr. Meng came here." Gu Qingyou looked at the officers and soldiers behind him, "Mother-in-law and the female family members in the mansion are all resting, Mr. Meng brought so many people here , I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Meng Yan said: "It is precisely for the safety of the nobles that I brought people to thoroughly check the inn to prevent escaped assassins from coming in to do evil."

Gu Qingyou closed the door, said with a sneer: "This inn is the Meng family's inn, so the assassin is a fool, dare to come here to cause trouble?"

"The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. In order to prevent assassins from taking risks, Meng has to act cautiously."

After all, we will lead someone to search.

Gu Qingyou said angrily: "Aside from other things, there are dozens of soldiers in the Duke's Mansion alone. Could it be that they can't guard against a little assassin? Mr. Meng doesn't care about the reputation of the women in the Duke's Mansion. What's the point of breaking in?"

Meng Yan also said: "Meng is on official business, not to mention the inn, even the government office is searched, but the young lady keeps blocking her, is she trying to cover up something?"

Gu Qingyou clenched her hands hanging by her side. Xue Lan had already come out in person. Seeing Meng Yan's unkind behavior, she also lowered her face: "I don't know what official position does Mr. Meng have? Whose order is the search for the inn?"

Meng Yan's face was suffocated, and he quickly put on a smile and said: "I don't want to disturb my aunt's rest. Master Song really has no skills, so I asked my nephew to help search together, not to mention that the thief is extremely vicious, just in case..."

Xue Lan raised her hand to stop him from continuing, raised her head and said, "Since Mr. Meng is the owner of the inn, there is nothing wrong with searching, but my wife is also a first-rank imperial order personally appointed by the Holy Majesty. Let alone you, even Song Zhishu is not qualified. If you want to search, go ask your majesty for a search warrant first!"

Now Meng Yan completely lost his temper. After all, he is only skeptical now, and he is not sure whether the person who entered the mansion to steal the ledger is related to the Guogong Mansion.

It's just that according to what the soldiers guarding the palace said, those two people have extremely high martial arts skills, and they are not ordinary thieves. Thinking about the sudden departure of the Duke's mansion yesterday, and the full promise when they came back, they always felt that something was wrong.

When Song Chengye heard the commotion outside, he went out and pointed at Meng Yan's nose and cursed: "Don't fucking think that you are great because you have a concubine and sister. If you want to search my son's room, do you deserve it?!"

Mentioning Concubine Meng, Meng Yan calmed down. Although the stolen account book was very important, he had no evidence for his guess about the Duke's Mansion, and now he had to rely on the other party to recommend a beautiful girl. If the relationship was messed up, he would be the two ends. Frustrated.

For the first time, Meng Yan, who always thought he had supernatural powers, experienced a dilemma.

People are under the eaves of things, and they don't want to bow their heads anymore. After struggling for a while, Meng Yan finally took two steps back, clasped his fists to the people in front of him and said, "It was Meng who didn't think carefully and disturbed the nobles to rest, so I will take them away. "

"Since Mr. Meng is here, let him check it out, so as not to make it difficult to explain to Mr. Song when we go back."

Song Chengye turned his head and saw Song Hengye striding out of the room, behind him was Bu Du who followed suit. The two seemed to be having breakfast, and Bu Du had cake crumbs on his mouth.Immediately dissatisfied: "What kind of onion is he? If you want to search, you have to come here in person, otherwise don't even think about it!"

Seeing Song Hengye going out, Gu Qingyou instinctively frowned. His wound had just been stitched up, and now it would easily crack when he got out of bed, but seeing that Bu Tian came back safely, and the boulder hanging from her heart fell, she was not afraid that Meng Yan would find out something, so she said: "Since the second son said so, anyway, I have no objection, you guys talk slowly, I'll go out and finish the mutton soup."

Song Chengye shouted from behind: "Bring me a bowl for you!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted, and without looking at Meng Yan, he turned around and returned to the room with Xue Lin'er.

Xue Lan straightened her hair: "It happens that the old man also wants to go for a walk, Mr. Meng please."

In fact, the moment he saw Song Hengye following Bu Tian, ​​Meng Yan already regretted it. The martial arts masters in the Duke's Mansion are nothing more than these two people in front of him. Now that they are standing here, they can't be thieves.

Song Hengye glanced at him indifferently, turned to let the door out and said, "Please, Mr. Meng."

Meng Yan waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, it's all because Meng is not thinking carefully, which makes the nobles feel unhappier. Please also ask General Song to speak a few words for Meng in front of the Duke's wife and the son. Don't hurt both of you because of this." Home peace."

"That's natural."

Song Hengye didn't give way, nodded to him, then turned and went back to the room.

Standing alone on the empty stairs, Meng Yan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell, so she turned her head and wanted to leave, when the door behind her rang, it was Xue Lan who left and returned.

"The show girls have not arrived for a long time, and there are still many affairs in the mansion that are urgent to go back to deal with. I decided not to bother you so expensively. At that time, Mr. Meng will send the show girls to the Duke's mansion directly."

Meng Yan couldn't ask for it, and no longer pretended to be polite, and hurriedly responded: "I would like to follow Madam's wishes, there is a place where I need my nephew, but please send me."

Xue Lan gave him a cold look: "Don't dare to trouble me, it's just that the gate of the city must be opened later, I wonder if Mr. Meng's words can count?"

"That's natural. Mr. Song has given full authority to the villain. As long as Madam asks, I dare not refuse."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to the people behind him: "Go and open the city gate quickly, don't delay the nobles on their way."

Seeing that Gu Qingyou hadn't come back yet, he said attentively: "Do you need my nephew to send someone to invite the young lady back?"

Xue Lan chuckled: "No need, after Mr. Meng leaves, she will come back."

The smile faltered on Meng Yan's face. What she said was completely naked, which meant that Gu Qingyou didn't want to see what he meant. Although she was angry, she still said respectfully: "...If that's the case, then Meng will leave first."

After walking out of the inn, he didn't leave in a hurry, but turned into a tea house diagonally opposite to the inn, quietly observing the movement on the opposite side.

It took only a cup of tea, seeing Gu Qingyou came back with a maid, with nothing but a few mutton soup biscuits in his hand, so he left with a cold snort.

As soon as he left, Gu Qingyou rushed to Song Hengye's room, looked at the Budu who appeared out of nowhere and said, "When did you come back? Why didn't I see it? I just heard from the shopkeeper that Meng Yan caught an assassin , I thought it was you, I was almost scared to death!"

Bu Tian was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes: "That's a brother from Peking University. He deliberately caught me in order to cover my departure."
