Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

At this time, they did not know that the Meng and Qi families in the capital were already struggling to cope with the situation, and because of the imperial edict, the Meng family had to borrow money from relatives and friends, sell shops, and scrape together the money in order to raise 2 taels of silver.

Time goes back to the night of the second day when Mr. Meng ignored the warning letter about Ji De. After dinner, he returned to his study and was about to continue reading when he caught a glimpse of the warning letter that he had casually placed aside. He picked up the letter and took a look at it, his eyes falling on the time in the letter - midnight.

Old Master Meng calculated in his head that there was still more than an hour until midnight. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

"Someone, go call the butler over."

"Yes." The gatekeeper's servant immediately ran to find the housekeeper after hearing the master's order.

The butler came hurriedly, bowed, slightly bent his waist and lowered his head, waiting for his master's instructions.

"Butler, have you ever heard of a name called 'Jide'?"

"I hope the master will allow me to think about it carefully."

"Well, think about it carefully. Or, you can take a look at this." Mr. Meng handed the notice letter to the butler. The butler took the notice letter and found that this was the strange letter he presented to the master yesterday.

The content of the notice was very simple and not long, but the housekeeper still read it carefully, word by word.

When he first saw the content, his first feeling was that someone was playing a prank. It was not appropriate to call this person named Ji De a thief, as he had sent a letter to warn people in advance. It was not right to call him a robber either. In his impression, robbers were the ones who shouted and killed, so how could they write letters to warn people after robbery?

Such a weird person...wait, I seem to have heard of him somewhere?

The housekeeper carefully searched the memories in his mind and finally found the information about "accumulating virtue" in a small corner. This information was a case he mentioned when he was chatting with his friends in the Ministry of Justice.

He said that a thief suddenly came to a certain county. His methods were so strange that he was comparable to those of a god, and he was able to clear out everything in the warehouse in an instant.

The county government investigated deeply but could not find any clues. As the owner suffered heavy losses, they reported the case and requested someone to investigate.

The Ministry of Justice did send people to investigate, but they found nothing. They heard a lot of clues, but how could such a method be comparable to a miracle?

If the words of just a few people are unreliable, but residents of nearly half of the county claim to have witnessed it with their own eyes, and their testimonies are similar, eliminating the suspicion of unified confession, then only one fact remains.

Even a hidden master might not possess such strange means, so this has become an unsolved case.

His friends thought this was a funny thing and complained to him about it when they were drinking.

"My lord, there is indeed such a person. If this Ji De is the same person as the Ji De in the unsolved case in the Ministry of Justice..." The butler then told Master Meng all the news he had heard from his friend.

The more Mr. Meng listened, the gloomier his expression became. Since a victim had already reported the case, it proved that the matter was true.

Regardless of whether the person who sent the warning letter to me is the one who has done good deeds, even if he imitated the other person to commit the crime, it proves that the probability that he will come tonight is very high!

It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist. This is his principle of action.

There is still time, he can't just sit and wait for death.

Mr. Meng immediately stood up and said, "Change my clothes. I have to go see the Minister of Justice."
