The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 718: Darkness at the Bottom of the Well

But she couldn't tell Baozhu directly. Mr. Ma wanted to use his magic power to open the door, and because Baozhu was present, Mr. Ma had to find an empty corner before he could do it.

Therefore, she could only answer that she didn't know.

Baozhu didn't understand what was going on, so she just said "oh" and nodded, without asking any more questions.

The master and servant began to wait.

After waiting for a while, Mr. Ma walked out from the main gate of the small house, opened the door and said, "Miss, please come in."

"Yeah." Meng Shisan walked in.

Baozhu followed him in with her eyes wide open.

Finally, Mr. Ma closed the door and bolted it.

In Meng Shisan's eyes, the house as soon as he entered was naturally a small house, compared with the Meng Mansion, and compared with the Ma family's home, it was much larger.

There are three main rooms and an ear room on each side. There are verandas on both sides of the main rooms, connecting the east and west wings. The atrium is a large courtyard with a back room on each side of the main entrance.

Meng Shisan first looked at the back house, then walked along the corridor, looked from the east wing to the main house, then to the west wing, and finally stopped at a well in the courtyard near the west wing.

This well inexplicably made her feel familiar, and reminded her of the well in the courtyard of Taiyong Palace.

Ma Lao also came over and asked, "Miss, do you think there is something wrong with this well?"

Baozhu had been following Meng Shisan and looking at the well for a while. When she heard Mr. Ma ask this, she looked at Meng Shisan with the same question in her eyes.

"The water in this well is so dark that you can't see the bottom." Meng Shisan said.

Ma Lao hummed and said, "It is rarely used throughout the year. Most of the fallen leaves, dust and stones fall into it, polluting the water."

Baozhu looked at the water on the surface of the well that looked like ink and nodded heavily.

But Baozhu didn't understand. The pollution that Mr. Ma was talking about was not the pollution she imagined. Instead, after Mr. Ma understood what Meng Shisan meant, he meant that the water in the well had been polluted by evil spirits and was as black as an abyss with no bottom visible.

Meng Shisan continued, "You can't get a tiger cub without taking any risks."

"Then I'll do it?" Mr. Ma understood what Meng Shisan was saying. In order to find out what was at the bottom of the well, they had to go down into the well once to find out what the evil spirit was, so he suggested that he do it.

Meng Shisan shook his head: "You can't see clearly."

Last night, when Mr. Ma saw the two refugees who were possessed, he was unable to figure out what evil spirit possessed them. He went down the well and only got himself soaked.

Chang'an or Shuishe might be able to accomplish the task.

Unfortunately, Chang'an and Shuishe are both too busy to give it a try.

"I'll go to the Beijing prison." Meng Shisan decided as a second best option.

As she was still recovering from her illness, she couldn't go down to the well to find out the truth herself, so she could only face the two refugees head-on and get the answer from them.

Baozhu thought of the last time Meng Shisan entered the lobby of the Beijing government office, and her face suddenly turned ugly: "Miss, do you really want to go? Miss, do you want to reconsider it, or not go? The second young lady's uncle is already investigating the fight among the refugees, and the result will be out soon. When the time comes, I will report it to you as soon as possible. Miss, just stay in the mansion and wait for the news."

Meng Shisan looked at Baozhu and said, "That's different. I'm not going to the Beijing jail to try a case. It doesn't matter to me when Magistrate Wu can come up with a result."

Baozhu was stunned for a moment: "What does the lady want to do?" "I want an answer." Meng Shisan replied vaguely.

Baozhu was still confused, but she knew that her young lady would not answer her if she asked again. The real answer could only be obtained by her staying by her young lady's side and seeing and hearing for herself.

But she also understood that Mr. Ma must know the answer to whatever the young lady wanted!
When Mr. Ma saw Baozhu's confused look, he suddenly looked at him with curiosity. He understood it instantly and turned his head away immediately.

He can't say that!

The eldest lady even spoke in cryptic terms, and it was obvious that she did not want the matters concerning demons to involve the mortals around her. It was clear that the eldest lady did not want too many mortals to know that there were demons in the world.

Besides, knowing too much about some things is not a good thing.

He already called Miss Meng "Miss", which meant he treated Miss Meng, not only his own daughter, but also as half a master. How could he say anything under such circumstances?
No, absolutely not.

Baozhu puffed up her face angrily.

Meng Shisan saw the little movements of Ma Lao and Baozhu, and slowly smiled: "Okay, let's go back."

Ma Lao returned to the theater and continued to investigate the bloody fight. Apart from the refugees, were there other clues? During this time, he inevitably crossed paths with Fei Ming sent by Li Yaoshen.

The two parties are unaware of each other.

Then everything will be calm and there will be no hindrance to each other.

When Meng Shisan returned to the Meng Mansion, he began to make arrangements for his imprisonment in the Beijing government prison.

If she really wanted to go to the Beijing jail, it would be best to ask Lu Luo for help. However, considering that she had just politely rejected Lu Luo by the Canghong Lake, and that Li Shou had personally brought her to the East Palace to clarify her relationship with Zhu Erlang, she felt that it was not a good idea for her to go to Lu Luo at this moment.

On the one hand, it is not good for Lu Luo, and on the other hand, it is not good for Li Shou.

If you don't want to find Lu Luo, there are two other options: find Lu Sen or find Wu Pinbo.

"The second young lady hasn't come back yet?" Meng Shisan had just entered Mingxiao Hall and sat down when he summoned Shangchun to ask about Meng Meijing's whereabouts.

Shangchun replied: "Not back yet."

Meng Shisan nodded, and asked Shangchun to send someone to keep an eye on it.

So as soon as Meng Meijing returned to the Meng Mansion, she was invited to Taichen Courtyard.

In fact, if Meng Shisan hadn't sent anyone to keep an eye on her, the first thing Meng Meijing would do after returning to the Meng Mansion would be to go to Taichen Courtyard.

Meng Meijing didn't look very well. She didn't even have lunch and hurried back.

Seeing this, Meng Shisan was not in a hurry to ask questions. He asked Shangchun to arrange lunch. The two sisters filled their stomachs first, then served tea and sat down in the side seat before starting to talk about business.

Meng Meijing did not need to ask, she slowly said: "When I arrived at my uncle's house, my aunt had not returned yet, only my cousin Hao was at home. My cousin Hao didn't know much, he could only tell me that when my aunt received the news from the yamen runners who came to the Wu residence to deliver the news that my uncle was injured."

"What did he say originally?" Meng Shisan asked briefly.

"The original words were like this..." When Meng Meijing just came back, her mind was very confused. After lunch, she was no longer so confused, but she still had to think about it. After thinking for a while, she replied, "When the master was interrogating the refugees, he was accidentally hit on the head by one of them. He has already asked for a doctor."

"The yamen runners call Wu Tuiguan 'Sir'. Is he an official in the Beijing yamen under your uncle?" Meng Shisan asked again.

Meng Meijing nodded: "According to what cousin Hao said, he is a subordinate of my uncle and is very trusted by my uncle. Whenever my uncle has any problems in the Beijing government, he is the one who reports the news to our family."
