Mrs. Meng thought about it carefully after sending Li away, and felt that there must be a master behind the Li family, as for who this master is, such a remark is not like what Li can say, and it is not too important.

The important thing Li reminded is right, now the Meng family is on the cusp, the previous few big cases, how many people want to catch the handle of the Meng family, far away is not bad, the recent Ji family is used by them to use some rumors, made embarrassed.

The rumors of Ji Gongzi that she let people spread, the Ji family can understand it with their toes, but the two families have a feud, and it doesn't matter if there is more or less, but the Ji family is not a broad-minded person, although it is not enough to fight hard with the Meng family for this little thing, but if there is a chance to easily step on it, the Ji family will definitely not let it go, not only the Ji family, but many people who have offended the Meng family must be the same.

The Ji family is just going back, after all, it's not a blood feud, Meng Ye's recent big case, the offended minister is really fatal, she is an inner house woman, even if she is ignorant, she also knows, how many people are waiting to see the Meng family in trouble to avenge an arrow, and if there is nothing to do, if the Meng family makes a mistake, it will definitely be attacked by a group.

Just as he was thinking about it, Meng Ye came in angrily again.

When he entered the door, he shouted at Mrs. Meng: "Who asked you to meddle in the affairs of the Chu family?" Do you know how much trouble you've gotten into me? ”

"Sir, be quiet." Madame Meng hurriedly closed the door.

Meng Ye was a military general before, although he suffered major setbacks during this period of time, and his temper was somewhat restrained after a long lesson, but he was under the anger. Occasionally, they still erupt.

Seeing Mrs. Meng's reminder, he remembered his identity, and now his identity is not suitable for yelling, so he lowered his voice slightly, but his anger was still very strong, "Why don't you discuss it with me, and rashly meddle in this matter, shield the murderer, or the current criminal who kills people in the street in front of everyone, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand?" ”

Mrs. Meng explained aggrievedly: "Master." I didn't get involved in the case. It's just a small blessing...... When I heard about this, people's lives were at stake, and they were afraid that the Hong family would lynch them, so the Hong family handed them over to the government. We didn't even say hello to Zhu Ying. ”

"You're still quibbling. If it weren't for you calling for help. How could Xiaofu know about this? It's not that you instigated Xiaofu to come out. Meng Ye's forehead was bruised and faintly violent, "I have asked the guards of the Dingwang Mansion to come forward, how do you want to say hello?" ”

Madame Monte was at a loss for help. Even if she said now, it wouldn't be interesting for her to really not let Xiaofu come forward, so she could only bow her head and say: "This matter is my fault, but master, after all, the Chu and Meng families are in-laws, and Meng Si is your own granddaughter, so you can't see death without saving it, right?" ”

Meng Ye was speechless, he didn't even care about his son, let alone his granddaughter, he didn't care about Meng Si's life or death, but it was not easy to say this directly, he thought for a while, and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is naturally a royal law, what can you women do?" ”

Mrs. Meng secretly disdained, what kind of royal law, others don't say, how many illegal things the Meng family has done, many of which Meng Ye ordered herself to do.

But this is not the time to be reckless, although Meng Ye's words are a little ruthless, only taking care of himself, but taking care of himself is equivalent to taking care of the Meng family, taking care of the rest of the Meng family, if she really wants to put the entire Meng family on the cusp of the storm for one Meng Si, Mrs. Meng is also unwilling.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Meng's tone softened even more: "Master, it is indeed my fault, but since the matter has happened, how can I remedy it?" ”

How to remedy it is also a difficult problem, Meng Ye is actually a tantrum at Mrs. Meng, he also understands in his heart, after all, the Meng and Chu families are in-laws, if they deliberately drag them into the water, even if they don't do anything, they will be dragged in, in the end, this is all the fault of the Chu family, he couldn't help complaining: "It's all your fault, who did Meng Si marry in the first place?" I just married a businessman, what kind of little people, honest, Meng Si has suffered so much, pick an honest family for her, what now? At the beginning, there were so many courtesy, and it was better to pick any one than the Chu family. ”

Madame Meng was very depressed when she heard this, and Month was not her granddaughter, what did she work so hard for? turned out to complain like this, so he said: "Master, I was wrong, I'm going to find Xiaofu now......"

"What are you looking for Xiaofu to do?" Meng Ye suddenly frowned again.

"Naturally, Xiaofu is not meddled in this matter, as long as we don't meddle in this matter, even if someone wants to pull us into the water, it will not be so easy." Mrs. Meng said very naturally, "Master, you also said that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is a royal law, and you can't let the Hong family transfer people to the yamen because of the Dingwang Mansion, and the Meng and Chu families are in-laws, so we can be dragged into the Meng family, right?" As long as our family doesn't interfere, these are just gossip for now, and they will pass quickly. ”

"This ......" Meng is just taking the opportunity to reprimand Mrs. Meng and vent his anger, in fact, he is also embarrassed by this matter, it is obviously an unjust case, and the two families are in-laws, if he stands by and watches, it is easy to be criticized, this is really not a matter, no matter what.

Mrs. Meng held back her grievances, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a car to Dingwang's Mansion.

She is not a person who can't hold her breath, let alone angry with Meng Ye, but she is really a little uneasy, and wants to ask the always smart concubine for an idea.

What has happened in the past few days, Su Yiqing has heard that the center of power, a very simple case can be used by people, and it is really impossible to relax for a moment.

After Mrs. Meng expressed her concerns, Su Yiqing asked, "What does Mother want now?" ”

"Of course I still want to save the Chu brothers, but your father is a little worried." Mrs. Meng hesitated, and considered her words, "Now that this matter is spreading, if you are not careful, it will backfire, Xiaofu, what do you think?" ”

Su Yiqing said: "In this case, let's wait and see what happens, after all, this case has not yet been tried, and we have done too much, but it seems that we are weak-minded, Yin Zhuying of Yancheng Mansion, my mother said earlier that this person is also a shrewd person, and he will not be careless in thinking about people's lives, even if he is under any pressure, he will really judge the case arbitrarily, and it will be handed over to the Criminal Department for review." We'll talk about that then. ”

Madame Meng nodded, she thought the same.

Su Yiqing asked again: "Mother, what I said last time, is there any new news about the matter of the Dajing Mission?" ”

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, there was such a big thing at home, where could she take care of the Dajing Mission, she was so anxious at the time, and when she thought that she was worrying about the sky, she was a little teased. Now Xiaofu suddenly asked. She couldn't answer, and said after a while: "This is still a long way, and the envoys are said to have brought a lot of things, and they can't get there for a while." I'm still slowly inquiring. ”

"Please also ask my mother to bother more." Su Yiqing said this.

"That's as it should be." Mrs. Meng was a little puzzled. If you want to say that you are worried about the return of the Dajing County Lord. There are still some extenuating circumstances, but now that he knows that he is not the lord of Dajing, why does Xiaofu pay special attention to this matter?

Doubts are doubts. She didn't dare to ask in person, her purpose of coming to Dingwangfu had been achieved, that is, she wanted to find out a direction and see how Xiaofu wanted to treat the Chu family.

The result of the question made her feel a little indescribable.

For the benefit of the Meng family, in fact, she agrees to wait and see, but as a woman, she sympathizes with Meng Si and is also a little worried about herself, if Meng Xiaofu is a soft-hearted person, since even the Meng Si family has to save her wholeheartedly, then she will not be too ruthless to the Meng family in the future, thinking, if she stands by and watches Meng Si today, it means that she can also stand by and watch the Meng family.

Whether you are a man or a woman, being too hard-hearted is not a good thing for the people around you.

……

Yancheng Mansion, the situation is developing in the direction that Zhu Ying expected before, but it is slightly different from what he thought, some people use the topic to play, but whether it is the Dingwang Mansion or the Meng family, they have not gone out again, and let the Hong family jump up and down over there, which makes him not know how to decide, except for using the procrastination trick, he has no other way.

The Hong family came every day to urge him to close the case, saying that there was all the human and material evidence, and there was nothing to hesitate about, so let him close the case before their son was buried, and give his son justice.

Zhu Ying is extremely troubled, what kind of evidence and physical evidence, it seems that the evidence is conclusive, but he can't hide it from the eyes of his old official, those so-called witnesses are either bought or coerced, but he can't force those people to tell the truth, not to mention that the Hong family is watching from the sidelines, even if there is no Hong family, he forces those people to tell the truth, those people can talk back today, and even more so tomorrow, and then he will become a corrupt official who accepts the defendant's interests and threatens the witnesses.

Back in the back hall, Mrs. Zhu saw Zhu Ying's troubled appearance, and couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, it's not a way for you to drag it out like this, you should make plans early, otherwise the Hong family won't dare to directly participate in the Meng family and the Dingwang Mansion, and they will take advantage of you." ”

"I don't know this truth, but how can this case be closed?" Zhu Ying sighed, "The Chu family brothers in this case are indeed wronged, if the Meng family is willing to come forward to bear one or two more, I will risk offending the Hong family, so why not judge it fairly?" But now their family is obviously silent, let me bear it alone, I ......"

As an official of the imperial court, Zhu Ying really can't say some things, but the truth is obvious, no one is a saint, he doesn't want to be a clean official who can't die well.

Mrs. Zhu pondered for a while, and said: "Master, I also have a few relationships with Mrs. Meng, and I don't know much about her, but a woman's mind still knows a thing or two, in this case, the Chu family said that it was the grandson-in-law of the Meng family, but judging from the things of the Meng family that we came into contact with before, the Meng family didn't care much about that granddaughter at all, let alone the grandson-in-law." ”

"I naturally know this truth, but in the end, it is in-laws, and their inaction will also affect their reputation." Zhu Ying was troubled by this, he knew that neither the Meng family nor the Dingwang Mansion would stand idly by and let him sentence the Chu family brothers to behead, but the problem was that the Meng family did not express their position now.

If the daughter-in-law of the Chu family is the favored granddaughter of her mother's family, the mother's family will definitely be around, but if she is not favored, they will be calm, he will delay, they will also delay, and see how things develop, and even they can come forward after he resentenced the Chu family brothers, and incidentally sue the Hong family who had done all kinds of activities to buy witnesses.

At that time, he will be unlucky, if he is now in charge of justice, the Hong family will aim their guns at him, and the Meng family will not help, and he will also be unlucky.

When she was distressed, the little maid came to report that Zhang Zhutou asked to see her.

Found the back office, don't it happen again, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, but he still went out to see Zhang Zhutou.

As soon as Zhang Zhutou saw Zhu Ying, he was a little excited and said, "My lord, good news." ”

"What's the good news?" Zhu Ying's spirits couldn't help but perk, now he really needs good news.

Zhang Zhutou couldn't hide his excitement: "Regarding Hong Zhihao's case, my subordinates have heard a very important clue. ”

"What clues?" As soon as Zhu Ying heard that it was the Hong family's case, it was as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, what he lacked now was not a clue to solve the case, but seeing Zhang Zhutou's excited appearance, he still asked casually.

Zhang Zhutou said: "After many interviews with his subordinates, many witnesses said that in fact, the Chu brothers also pushed Hong Zhihao, and Hong Zhihao fell and died. ”

"So what?" Zhu Ying is lacking in interest again, he also kills people, and he falls to death when he pushes someone, which is very different from directly hacking to death with a knife, but this difference is for ordinary people, and the status of the son of the Hong family is noble, and it cannot be judged by common sense. ”

"The subordinates feel that a big man, and he is young, shouldn't be so bad, will the son of the Hong family have some hidden diseases." Zhang Zhutou said, lowering his voice a little, "My subordinates inquired that Hong Zhihao used to patronize a pharmacy in Lingfutang, and this pharmacy was an inconspicuous pharmacy, and it stands to reason that such a noble son should patronize a big pharmacy like Huichun Hall even if he is sick, and should not patronize a small pharmacy, so his subordinates concluded that he must have some hidden diseases that are not visible." ”

"Go on." Zhu Ying suddenly came to his senses, he couldn't see anyone's hidden disease, if this was the case, he found out, and the Hong family would not dare to be so aggressive.

Zhang Zhutou said: "The subordinates scared the pharmacy guy a few words, and the guy said it all, Hong Zhihao is here to dispense medicine, and it is the kind of medicine that makes men regain their strength, Dafan This kind of medicine, the power of the medicine is a little fierce, and it is very harmful to the body after taking it for many years, and this medicine is especially good for drinking after eating, and the subordinates think, will Hong Zhihao be a drug attack, and he happened to be pushed by the Chu brothers, so he died?" ”

"It's very likely." Zhu Ying muttered, and then asked, "Is the pharmacy guy willing to come out to testify?" ”

"Of course." Zhang Zhutou looked around, and his voice was lowered, "In order to prevent leakage, my subordinates have already protected that little guy." (To be continued......)
