I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiyi agreed.

After finishing a meal.

The young couple returned to the carriage to rest.

At this time, Chai Xueying asked:

"Husband, is there something wrong with Zheng Meng?"

Fang Yiyi hugged Chai Xueying and explained:

"Do you remember the case that Big Brother handled?"

"The case of the murder of Qi Yuanqing, a wealthy merchant from Bianzhou."

Chai Xueying nodded and said:

"Remember, the murderer who disguised himself as the maid Qianqiu of the Qi family escaped without a trace."

Fang Yiyi nodded and said:

"Qianqiu's reason is similar to Zheng Meng's."

"In this disaster-ridden time, the one who dies is definitely a woman."

"That Qianqiu said that everyone in her family starved to death, but she herself was safe and sound, and she was even able to sell herself to bury her father. This is unreasonable."

"Even if Zheng Meng's family lets her leave and lets her find a way to survive on her own."

"You said that she was a pretty girl, and she was robbed by bandits. Would the bandits let her go safely?"

"Even if they didn't rape her first and then kill her, they might kidnap her and make her their concubine."

"Do you think she got her food by begging, and was robbed by the disaster victims? Would she resist? Would she be injured?"

"She was robbed twice, but she just fainted from hunger and had no injuries on her body."

"Do you think there is any problem at this point?"

Chai Xueying frowned immediately and said:

“This is indeed a big flaw.”

Fang Yiyi nodded and continued:

"We were fishing by the river, and when Zheng Meng first saw you, his eyes were fixed on your waist."

“I saw this very clearly.”

Chai Xueying looked at her waist.

There, hanging was the wedding gift that their eldest brother Fang Yizheng had given them.

The jade pendant worn by Zhuge Kongming during his lifetime.

It was a thank-you gift from Qi Yuanqing's family to Fang Yizheng for clearing the suspicion of his second son Qi Shan.

It is the most precious item in Qi Yuanqing's house.

Chai Xueying, who was extremely intelligent, had an idea in her mind and immediately spoke:

"Could it be that Zheng Meng is the murderer who went by the alias Qianqiu and killed the wealthy merchant Qi Yuanqing, his legitimate son, and his guards?"

"She came here for this jade pendant, but she didn't find it in Qi Yuanqing's house."

"I know that the jade pendant was given to my eldest brother, and then it fell into our hands."

"She just pretended to be someone else and used the alias Zheng Meng to get close to us?"

Fang Yiyi nodded and shook his head and said:

"That's what I guess."

"But we will have to observe and find out the truth."

Chai Xueying was already clear in her mind and knew what to do next.

She asked:

"Then let Chunxiaqiudong target Zheng Meng next?"

Fang Yiyi shook his head and said:

"No, Chunxiaqiudong will stay with Zheng Meng."

"It would be fine if only one person paid attention."

"With four people watching them together, if they have more contact with Zheng Meng, they will definitely be exposed."

"I'll let Xue Li and the others keep an eye on it."

"After all, Xue Li and the others have learned a lot of skills from the Shadow Leopard Guards."

"You are good at surveillance and investigation."

Chai Xueying praised: "My husband is really thoughtful."

"It is indeed more convenient for Xue Li to handle this matter."

......

More than half a minute later.

As Xue Li left Fang Yiyi's carriage, a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

Then he returned to his usual honest and simple appearance when he was with his companions.

In the tent of Menghua and another maid.

Zheng Meng cleaned up diligently.

She asked casually:

"Why do Sanlang and the general live in a carriage instead of a tent?"

Chapter 583 Zheng Meng's Night View

Menghua smiled and stepped forward to take over the work from Zheng Meng and said:

"You just woke up, so it's better for me to do these things."

"You should take a rest."

Zheng Meng didn't fight for it and stood quietly aside.

Menghua spread the mattress and explained:

"Although the riverside is flat, it is troublesome to relocate the tents."

"Sanlang and the general's carriage is very spacious and comfortable, much more comfortable than sleeping in a tent."

Zheng Meng frowned slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

It was midnight.

The Beginning of Autumn and the Beginning of Winter were replaced by the Beginning of Spring and the Beginning of Summer, and we returned to the tent to rest.

Zheng Meng followed Meng Hua and the other girl to take off the armor for Liqiu and Lidong.

Zheng Meng pretended to be puzzled and asked curiously:

"Hey, Sister Menghua, aren't we serving Sanlang and the general?"

"Are you here to serve my two elder sisters, Liqiu and Lidong?"

Chunxiaqiudong had already had contact with Zheng Meng.

Although Zheng Meng was asking Meng Hua.

But Lidong smiled and explained:

"The four of us have followed the general and served him since we were young."

"And as the general's personal guards, it has always been the four of us who have been serving the general."

"We will be on duty for the general for a day, so Sister Menghua has to take care of us."

The words sound nice and do not mention anyone's status.

Zheng Meng understood clearly.

Menghua explained with a smile:

"Taking care of four sisters is a good job."

"If you are considerate of us, then let us help you put on and take off your armor and help you with your makeup."

"This job is very easy."

"On the contrary, you guys are on duty all night long, which is really hard work."

Menghua placed Liqiu's armor on the wooden rack in the tent and said:

"I've prepared some hot water for you. Wash your face, soak your feet, and relieve your fatigue."

Zheng Meng said swiftly: "I'll go, I'll go!"

Liqiu and Lidong looked at Zheng Meng's efforts to grab the goods.

I like it but also feel sorry for it.

Li Qiu said to Meng Hua:

"She's afraid we'll leave her behind, so she's rushing to do the work!"

Meng Hua nodded and said:

"Yes, but the general has promised to take her back to Chang'an."

"We have to resolve her worries along the way."

"Otherwise, it would be painful for us to watch her continue like this."

"That's the truth." Lidong nodded.

After Zheng Meng comes back.

Several women surrounded her and had a good sleep.

Zheng Meng was so moved that she cried again.

night.

Inside the tent.

The calls continued.

The women were tired after a day of work and their voices became louder.

After midnight

Zheng Meng opened his eyes.

Listen to the noises around you.

She got up quietly and tiptoed out of the tent.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the trees are shady.

The camp was shrouded in darkness.

Zheng Meng walked out of the tent and hid himself.

On a big tree that can be embraced with one hand.

Xue Li, dressed in black, hid in the dense tree canopy.

When Zheng Meng came out, Xue Li saw it clearly.

He narrowed his eyes.

Watching Zheng Meng walk around the tent.

Watching Zheng Meng's head turning, looking at the situation in the camp.

After half a moment.
