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

But at this time, besides protecting Xiang Xi, Xiang Shang and the others, what else can everyone do?

After returning to Xiang Yu's home, the yamen servants who were sent to investigate who was not in the village on the night Xiang Dang was killed rushed back. They said that they had investigated Xiang's and Liu's villages, and only two people were not in the village.

One of them was Xiang Long. He said that he was not at the village the night Xiang Dang was killed. The reason was that he was visiting a friend. Because heavy snow had blocked his trip, he stayed at his friend's house for one night and came back the next day.

The other person is from Liujiazhuang, named Liu Jing. He went to Qingjie in the capital to play that day, and he planned to return to the village the next day.

Among the two, that Liu Jing is naturally the most suspicious, but knowing this, he can't do anything about him, because the government officials went to Qingjie to investigate, and the people in Qingjie said that they did see Liu Jing that night, He really didn't leave until the next morning.

There is no doubt about this matter, so everyone had to focus on Xiang Long to see if he was really staying at a friend's house that day.

It's not that difficult, it's just a waste of time.

In the afternoon, the weather was still gloomy, and the wind was blowing chills.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce waited for news at Xiang Yu's mansion, while Hwarang and others wandered around.

Xiangjiazhuang is very close to the capital, and there are often guests who come 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 this cold winter season, the guests miss the time to enter the city , just stay here for one night.

Hwarang and the others wanted to get more information, so they ordered warm wine and a few catties of beef at the inn, and listened to the conversations of the people nearby while eating.

It's just that although there are people in the inn, they are talking about things that Hwarang and the others are not interested in, so this makes everyone very helpless. After sitting like this for a long time, Wen Meng can't sit still, she shouted If you want to leave, you may meet someone on the street and maybe get some news.

Everyone felt the same, so they were about to leave, but just as they were about to leave, the people at the next table suddenly laughed and said, "Mei Ji, who hasn't seen Xiang Yu for a long time, is walking around the village, who of you knows the reason? "

There were a few men sitting at the next table, and they seemed to be a bit lecherous. After the man said this, the other person also laughed quickly: "Yeah, who knows, I haven't seen Mei Ji for a long time, and I miss her a little." him."

"Keep your voice down, both of you. Although Mei Ji's status was not very glorious in the past, she is now the concubine of our owner here. The owner heard it. Be careful that you will have a hard time in the future."

After being reminded by one person, those two people immediately became cautious.

However, although they were cautious, they couldn't restrain their curiosity and longing for Mei Ji. Soon, another person lowered his head slightly and said, "It is said..., you are not allowed to spread it around when I say it. It is said that Mei Ji Ji often ran to Liujiazhuang, after Xiang Yu found out about this, he put her under house arrest, and now she is not allowed to go anywhere."

After this person finished speaking, the others sighed again and again: "This Mei Ji is really real. Doesn't she know the grudge between our Xiangjiazhuang and Liujiazhuang? She is now Xiang Yu's concubine, how can she go to Liujiazhuang? run?"

Others echoed again and again, and when they said this, there was nothing wrong with them except for the disappointment that it was hard to see Mei Ji on their faces.

After those people talked like this for a while, they went to talk about other things.

And Wen Meng and Hwarang here seemed a little excited, they just had no news, but it just so happened that they heard the news at this time.

That Meiji often goes to Liujiazhuang, why?

Hwarang felt that this incident must have something to do with Xiang Dang's murder. Maybe the day Xiang Dang became stupid, he saw Mei Ji go to Liujiazhuang, so he was beaten.

Maggie?Hwarang felt a little heavy in his heart, is this beautiful woman the kind who would commit murder?What did she go to Liujiazhuang for?

When they came out of the inn, the cold wind was even heavier, but everyone was very excited. After they rushed to Xiang Yu's house, they immediately went to see Xiang Yu.

At that time, Bao Zheng was chatting with Xiang Yu in the living room. When Hua Lang and others rushed over, Bao Zheng was very surprised, and quickly asked, "Brother Hua is in such a hurry, but what clue did you find?"

Hua Lang glanced at Bao Zheng without saying a word, then fixed his eyes on Xiang Yu, and said, "I have a few questions for Master Xiang, please don't blame Master Xiang."

Seeing Hualang suddenly say these words to himself, Xiang Yu was a little surprised. He looked up at Hualang for a moment and didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said, "Young man, if you have anything to ask, it's okay to say it. I know everything."

Hua Lang nodded and said, "I want to ask about Mei Ji!"

"Mei Ji?" Xiang Yu was startled, he really didn't understand why Hua Lang suddenly thought of asking Mei Ji, Xiang Yu looked at Hua Lang, and said: "Young man asked Mei Ji, is it Mei Ji who provokes flowers?" Young Master is not happy?"

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: "Is it possible that Mr. Hua suspects that Xiang Dang and Xiang Si were killed by Mei Ji? This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, Mei Ji can't do this kind of thing, and she hasn't left home recently!"

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 the murderer or not, please report the information about Mei Ji now. Let’s talk about the matter, since you locked Mei Ji in the mansion, you must know about her going to Liujiazhuang, right?”

Xiang Yu's face became even uglier and hesitant, and after a long time, he said: "It's a long story, Mei Ji was a prostitute before, and I and the Liu Gang in Liujiazhuang were both hers. Benefactor, later I was dissatisfied with sharing Meiji with Liu Bang, so I paid to redeem Meiji, but when I redeemed Meiji, there was a little accident, I didn't expect that Liu Bang would also want to replace Meiji Redemption, if I had not paid a high price at that time, and the old bustard of the brothel was too greedy for money, Mei Ji would have belonged to the Liu Gang."

Xiang Yu's face turned red when he said this, not sure if it was because he was too excited.
