Chapter 692: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (46)
Through the hazy moonlight like a veil, Meng A Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the man in front of him, not missing any of his subtle movements and expressions.
She is not an ordinary woman. Since she is "Yan", she can naturally know the secret of this kind of added wine with just a sniff.
However, at this moment, Meng A Luo wanted to see what kind of "earth-shaking" incident this "young master" could cause.
Liang Huaixin stealthily took out the envelope containing a pass from her arms.
Then, he took out the original pass without hesitation and put a piece of white paper in it.
Meng A Luo, who witnessed all this, sneered in his heart and couldn't help feeling extremely fortunate that he did not show soft-heartedness at the beginning.
Shortly after Liang Huaixin hurriedly walked out of the yard with his bag in his arms, Meng A Luo stood up slowly.
She was calm, with a hint of regret on her face, and slowly said, "You chose this path yourself, so you can't blame others. If that's the case, don't blame me."
It turned out that the travel permit that Liang Huaixin thought he had stolen was actually just a forged document.
And from the beginning to the end, Meng A Luo only "asked" for a truly effective pass from the shopkeeper.
In other words, no matter what, Liang Huaixin was the one destined to be left behind.
Looking up at the moon in the sky, Meng A Luo played with the key to the private vault that he had stolen from the other party yesterday with his slender fingertips.
In an inconspicuous corner behind her, there was a bag that had been packed in advance.
After picking up her things, Meng A Luo got on a carriage that she had found long ago. The driver first drove the carriage to the Xiao Mansion, and after informing them of the situation, she went to the money house that she had contacted before.
When he arrived at the money shop, Meng A Luo took out the token and successfully withdrew the considerable sum of money. He then asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the city gate, and as soon as the city gate opened the next day, he would leave Yuening City immediately.
At this time, Liang Huaixin was still wandering on the road, looking for an inn where he could stay.
He had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by a patrolling yamen runner: "Hey hey hey! I'm talking to you! What's wrong with you? Don't you know there's a curfew? Why are you still wandering around the streets so late at night?"
"Sir, I'm looking for an inn where I can stay. It will be there soon." Liang Huaixin hasn't dealt with outsiders for a long time, so his eyes were inevitably evasive.
But this normal behavior of being afraid of the officials is seen by others as a guilty conscience.
After looking at each other, those people began to interrogate Liang Huaixin.
Because his Yuecheng dialect was not very authentic, at the end of the interrogation, the group of yamen runners asked to see his travel permit information.
Upon hearing this, Liang Huaixin calmed down somewhat. He took out his "pass" and handed it over calmly: "Sir, please look!"
Several yamen runners passed the pass around and got a positive answer from each other's eyes.
One of the leading yamen runners threw the pass directly at Liang Huaixin's face, and his expression suddenly became gloomy: "Humph! You are so bold that you dare to forge a pass privately! Come back to the yamen with us!"
Liang Huaixin's eyes widened in horror, and he quickly explained: "Impossible, this is obviously a real pass, we bought it at a high price."
"Ha!" the leading bailiff said contemptuously, "You said in front of us that you bought your pass. Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
"I...I!" Liang Huaixin was speechless and could only wave his hands. "It really has nothing to do with me. This was given to me by someone else. I really don't know anything."
"Okay! Then take us to find the person you mentioned!" The bailiff seemed to be in a good mood and was willing to pay attention to Liang Huaixin.
Liang Huaixin nodded hurriedly: "I'll go right away, I'll go right away."
As he said this, he took the group of yamen runners to the inn where he and Meng A Luo had lived before.
But after this time passed, there was no trace of Meng A Luo.
"How could this happen?" Liang Huaixin was horrified. "How could the building be so empty?"
The bailiff said nothing and just watched him "going crazy"!
Liang Huaixin went to ask the innkeeper again: "Boss, where is the woman who lives here with me?"
"What's all this nonsense?" The innkeeper looked confused. "Don't you live alone all the time? Where did this woman come from?"
It turned out that before this, in order to prevent others from criticizing his reputation, Liang Huaixin asked Meng A Luo to live in another room, and pretended not to know him in front of others.
Now that’s great, there’s really yellow mud falling into my crotch—it’s shit, if not shit!
After several hours of struggling with Liang Huaixin, it was almost dawn, and they still hadn't found the person who provided the fake pass as the other party said.
The bailiffs were also very annoyed. They were not willing to listen to his explanation and directly took him to the yamen.
