Mrs. Meng has been hiding in the inner room, eavesdropping on the conversation between Meng Ye and Zhu Ying.

Generally speaking, women can't overhear conversations between men, but this time it's different, Zhu Ying is obviously here for Meng Shen's case, this matter is related to the entire Meng family, Meng is also a big man, his mind is not so detailed, and some speech traps and the like may not be heard, so she asked Meng to also lead Zhu Ying to this flower hall that is convenient for eavesdropping in the inner room.

After listening to it for a long time, Zhu Ying's topic really revolved around Meng Shen's death, and he seemed to really want to solve the case.

This is a little strange, when Zhu Ying first found Meng Shen's body, he didn't want to pursue it with great fanfare, and he wanted to put the case to a close point, why did this attitude completely change after only a few days?

Could it be that someone is putting pressure on you?

But it shouldn't be, who cares about the life or death of a person like Monshen? If Meng Shen was killed by the master behind the scenes, then it was too late for this person to cover up, how could he come forward to put pressure?

Madame Monte felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

These things are one after another, very weird, completely different from what she encountered before, no matter what she did before, she could probably know the purpose of the other party, but now she is completely aimless, or she doesn't know what the other party's purpose is, and she doesn't even know who the enemy is.

When he was wondering, after Zhu Ying took a sip of tea, he pretended to be casual and asked Meng Ye: "I heard that Ling Gongzi has been in the field for many years, I don't know if he has any suspicions with people in the field?" ”

"Probably not." Meng also groaned for a moment and explained. "Yuntian Village, where the dog is located, is a small place with beautiful mountains and rivers, the villagers are simple, almost no quarrels with the world, there are fewer disputes, and it is unlikely that they will have a deep hatred with people."

Mrs. Meng in the inner room was a little secretly admired for Meng Ye's words, she was worthy of being a civil official for a period of time, and she had grown a lot in her oral language, and these words were not so much that Yuntian Village was simple, but that it was a remote place, even if there was any grudge. Those villagers who have never been out of the mountains for a lifetime will never be able to follow Yancheng. Not to mention the ambush of Mongshen.

Zhu Ying nodded, and then asked, "It's impossible in the field, so what about before?" Ling Gongzi lived in Yancheng before, right? Are there any old grudges? ”

"That's even more unlikely." Meng also replied without thinking about it, "The dog has been away from Yancheng for more than ten years. The people I made friends back then couldn't be the children of some families. Literati and Ink Writers. The young men just frolicked with each other, and there was no grudge. ”

Meng Ye's words are true, son of the family. The only absurd thing is caused by jealousy, this kind of small grudge when he was young cannot last for more than ten years, the merry boy of the year estimated that his sons have married his wife now, and he still kills people for the little filth who fought and fought more than ten years ago, impossible.

"Then please forgive the official for being brave, may I ask Lord Meng, is there any suspicion with others and implicated Ling Gongzi?" Zhu Ying asked again.

Meng was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, this official has always been kind to others, never making enemies, even if there are occasional political disagreements, they are also in the court, and there are no personal grudges." ”

This is too fake, not to mention anything else, Meng Ye also pulled many people off the horse in the river river corruption case, and there were countless enemies, but now he didn't admit it, opened his eyes and said nonsense, Zhu Ying had no way to refute it, he groaned for a while, and said: "Ling Gongzi has someone to serve closely, can you allow the official to ask carefully to see if there are any clues." ”

"This ...... All right. Meng also hesitated, but there was really no reason to refuse, this was also a routine procedure, so he could only agree, paused, and said, "It's just that the dog is in another village, and the subordinates are still serving in the village, and they can't be found at once, so I have to ask Lord Zhu to ...... later." Or if you're not in a hurry, I'll ask someone to go to the yamen tomorrow to reply. ”

Taking people away directly is very different from letting people go to the yamen automatically later, the former becomes suspicious, and the latter is frank and cooperating with the investigation.

"It's so good, then the lower officials won't bother Lord Meng." Zhu Ying hugged his fist and said goodbye.

Meng also pretended to save a few words, and sent him out.

Back in the inner room, he hurriedly asked Mrs. Meng: "This surnamed Zhu obviously has bad intentions, how to deal with it?" ”

"Master, you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Meng has already planned it from the beginning, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, there is nothing wrong with their Meng family in this matter, no matter how Zhu Ying investigates, at most it is to find out those crazy bastard words that Meng Shen said before his death, it is not a big deal.

When Meng also heard this, he reacted very much, and said angrily: "This is not my business alone, why do you say such things again?" ”

"What did I say?" Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Ye a little inexplicably, "What did I say wrong?" This Meng Shen's death has nothing to do with the truth of the Meng family, why are we afraid of people to investigate, could it be...... What did you do in private? ”

"How is that possible?" Meng Ye almost jumped up again, "Could it be that you suspect that it's me...... What's wrong with that rebel? ”

"It's not that I'm suspicious, but your reaction is suspicious, sir." Mrs. Meng looked innocent, "Master, I still say the same thing, I don't believe it or not, the key is that outsiders don't believe it, this Zhu Ying is obviously suspicious of our family now, if he really finds out something, I'm afraid it won't end well." ”

"What can he find?" Meng Ye was obviously a little annoyed and angry, "I have a clear conscience, and I'm not afraid of him checking." ”

"That's it, master, since we are frank and open, what are we afraid of people checking?" Mrs. Meng said righteously, "Instead of hiding and making people suspicious, it's better to let him open up and investigate, isn't it just looking for the subordinate who served Meng Shen before?" Find two of them and send them to the yamen for him to ask casually, and those subordinates on the left and right will not know anything. ”

"I'm not worried that the death of this rebel will implicate me, I'm worried about ......" Meng Ye looked around and lowered his voice, "I'm worried that Meng Shen was talking nonsense before his death, so that people would know...... will get in trouble. ”

"What can Meng Shen say, the horizontal and vertical are those things that are Chen sesame and rotten grain, when he sued last time, Zhu Ying already knew about it, and he didn't care about hiding it." Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Ye in wonder, and always felt that Meng Ye seemed to have something to hide. And the secret seems to have a lot to do with it.

"You...... You don't understand anyway. Meng was also anxious, but he couldn't say a reason, so he only threw out such a sentence.

Mrs. Meng's face became solemn, and she said: "Master, husband and wife, you also said that it is about our entire Meng family, and I can't stay out of it, so you should sue me, what else is going on?" ”

"It's all right." Meng Ye's tone was a little empty, and he didn't dare to look into Mrs. Meng's eyes. Only the way. "Don't think nonsense, I'm just afraid that the bastard words of that rebel will spread and affect my reputation, which is not what it used to be. Now I am not as good as I used to be. More caution is needed. ”

"Really?" Madame Monte intuitively felt that things were not so simple. But Meng didn't say anything, she couldn't ask anything, maybe she should rush before Meng also sent those subordinates to the government. Interrogate her first to see what Meng Ye is hiding from her.

……

Dingwang's mansion.

Green vine reported to Su Yiqing.

"Princess, Yin Zhu Ying of Yancheng Mansion, Lord Zhu has been to Meng's house several times, it is to investigate Mengshen, the cause of Uncle Meng's death, and also inquire about several subordinates who served Meng Shen before his death."

Su Yiqing quietly admired the scenery outside the window, and said slowly after a long time: "Isn't this what Yancheng Mansion Yin should do?" Human life is at stake, even if an ordinary person dies on the street, as a government minister, he should be thoroughly investigated, not to mention that Meng Shen is a child of an official eunuch, and his identity is no better than that of ordinary people, so why is it necessary for you to deliberately return? ”

Green vine lowered his eyebrows and said: "But according to the investigation of the slave maid, Zhu Ying originally wanted to deal with this matter as an ordinary accident, and only after receiving the holy decree did he start a strict investigation. ”

"So what?" Su Yiqing didn't care about Meng Shen's death, from a certain aspect, she was a little disgusted with Meng Shen, not to mention the grievances between him and Meng Ye's father and son, let's just say that a big man, more than ten years outside, and a hundred acres of land, but he actually tossed it all away, dragged his family to Yancheng to beg with his biological father, begging did not succeed in blackmailing with some old things, it was extremely bad, such a person died one less than one, wasted rice and grain alive, and affected his wife and children.

Green vine said softly: "The slave maid learned that it was actually Concubine Yang in the palace who spoke to the emperor, which made the emperor order Zhu Mansion Yin to investigate the case thoroughly, and Concubine Yang did this...... Something is wrong. ”

"It's uneasy and kind, isn't it?" Su Yiqing chuckled.

"Slaves don't dare to speculate." The green vine head pressed even lower.

"But that's obviously what you mean." Su Yiqing stared at the green vine and said slowly, "Let's talk straight, what do you want to say This Concubine Yang has good intentions or not, what does it have to do with me?" I can't meddle in the affairs of the harem. ”

Green vine said: "The slave maid is thinking, is it to say hello to Concubine Yang's mother's family...... If there is any misunderstanding, maybe it will be resolved. ”

"Is this what your prince means, or is it your own meaning?" Su Yiqing asked lightly.

"It's the slave's own meaning, and the prince didn't tell it in such detail." Lu Teng said truthfully, "Before the prince left Yancheng, he explained to the slave and the maid and others, and acted cheaply. ”

"Then let's do it for now, let's not do much and wait and see." Su Yiqing didn't want to socialize too much, and she also understood what Green Vine meant, so she couldn't just find an excuse to give the Yang family something to show her goodwill.

Today's Yang family, except for a favorite concubine in the palace, there is nothing at all, a son is still a fool, so he relies on two nephews to help take care of the family's qiē, some time ago, the lord of Xiuwen County married in the past, I heard that there was a trouble, and the Yang family turned over on their backs, which was very wolf.

If she is willing to show favor a little at this time, the Yang family will definitely be grateful to her heart, and the indirect overture will reach Concubine Yang's ears, and Concubine Yang will take care of what she is doing.

Speaking of which, she and Concubine Yang have never even met, it is impossible to have any grudges, the only place to offend is probably that when Concubine Yang was about to give birth, she gave two beautiful palace maids into the mansion, obviously uneasy and kind, and then the two palace maids were quickly married.

What the life of the concubines in the palace is like, she doesn't know, but she knows that this move is a big sweep of Concubine Yang's face, which is estimated to make her faceless in front of the concubines.

The women in the palace are bored all day long, so they naturally watch the little things more strictly.

At that time, Mama Qing persuaded her to offer the two palace maids, anyway, the prince would not get close to the two palace maids, maintain a face, and let Concubine Yang have nothing to say.

She didn't listen, on the one hand, it was also because one of the palace maids had her own heart of yearning for freedom, hoping to have the fate of breaking free as a chess piece, on the other hand, she felt that instead of defending day and night, it was better to send it out to solve it once, so as to save trouble in the future.

If there is really a success in climbing the bed, let her be like other noble ladies, poison those women who may be pregnant with husbands and children, she really can't do this kind of thing, in this case, it is better to send it out, send one less one.

Su Yiqing thought for a while, and suddenly asked Green Teng: "Instead of staring at Concubine Yang, why don't you stare at others?" ”

"Others?" Green Vine was a little dazed, and couldn't help asking: "The slave is ignorant, please ask the princess to make it clear." ”

Su Yiqing looked out the window and said casually: "What happened to Meng Shen's death?" ”

Green vine said: "The slave doesn't know. ”

"You don't know or don't want to say?" The corners of Su Yiqing's mouth brought a sneer, "You even know the things of the harem so clearly, how come you don't even know the most important things?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." Green Vine thought about it and replied, "The things outside are also reported by the people outside, and the slave and maid know that the slave and the maid do not know everything." ”

"You've pushed it all the way back." Su Yiqing smiled again, "That's it, I don't embarrass you, maybe you're right, you shouldn't know, you really don't know, at least now I want to know how Meng Shen died, is it difficult for you?" ”

"Slaves can check it out." Green Vine replied cleverly.

Su Yiqing didn't ask again, this green vine neither said that he knew, nor did he say that he didn't know, he only said that he could check it, obviously there was someone else behind this maid, and some things had to be consulted by another person before he could say it.

Intuitively, Meng Shen should have been killed by the people of the Dingwang Mansion, the reason is very simple, she is the biggest beneficiary of Meng Shen's death, whoever benefits is the most suspicious, she naturally has not done it herself, but other people who are good for her will do it for her.

As soon as Meng Shen died, she didn't have to enter the palace in a short time, the struggle in the harem was fierce, and even Yu Feng's hand couldn't be stretched so long, even if he could, the eyeliner he arranged in the harem would also be of great use, and it could not be exposed until it was absolutely necessary.

Death of an insignificant Meng Shen can avoid this crisis, how cost-effective, and Meng Shen is unstoppable, if he is kept, there may be a lot of trouble, or kill a hundred. (To be continued......)
