Chapter 443: Timing
Mrs. Meng returned home and saw Meng Ye who was angry, and Meng was also hurriedly found by his subordinates, and found that there was no fire in the house, but he heard that Meng Si's family affair had a twist and turn, so he was very angry.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Meng, Meng Ye scolded with a slap on his face: "You see that this group of subordinates you have taught, one by one, are stupid and stupid, and they make a fuss about a trivial matter, isn't it just that there is a problem with the relatives of a concubine......?"
After Meng Ye chattered endlessly, Mrs. Meng said calmly: "Master, the subordinates did not make it clear, and it was not for Meng Si's family affairs that they came back, but for another tricky matter, but this matter is inconvenient for even the family members. ”
"What the hell is it, can you say it once you say it, a woman is a mother-in-law. Meng Ye looked impatient.
Mrs. Meng ignored him, and ordered the maids and daughters-in-law in the house to go out, and asked Ping's mother to guard the door and close the doors and windows, and then said in a low voice: "Master, the family affair did not work out not because the Chu family went back on its word, but because your son scared people away with nonsense." ”
At the mention of Meng Shen, Meng Ye's face darkened, and he said, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you let the Mi clan take a good look at Meng Shen? How could you give him a chance to talk nonsense?"
"This Meng Si is his own daughter in the end, a good life for his daughter's employment, and he can't let his father not attend...... "Mrs. Meng's voice weakened a little, she was a little unreasonable in this matter or the kindness of a woman, according to Meng Ye's style of doing things, she would definitely not let Meng Shen have a chance to make trouble.
Meng also snorted coldly, expressing great disdain for Mrs. Meng's approach. Finally, he asked: "After talking for a long time, you haven't said what Meng Shen said to scare the Chu family away." ”
"This ...... Monshen said....... "Mrs. Meng is really a little embarrassed to speak, but she can't help but say it, so she can only bite the bullet," Meng Shen said, Meng Si is the one you and him who had sex with him...... He also said you ......"
"Nonsense. Meng Ye was so angry that he was a little angry, "This rebel actually dares to say such a thing." Why didn't you let people beat him to death on the spot? Dare to slander his father like this. How many years after his family left Yancheng did they have Meng Si? How could this Meng Si have anything to do with me?"
"That's what I said, it's just ......," Madame Meng sighed, "This kind of thing is clear to our family, but how can outsiders know." As soon as the Chu family heard this. Where do you dare to marry our family?"
"Did you warn the Chu family. Let them not talk nonsense?" Meng Ye's first thought was to eliminate the bad influence, and immediately asked Mrs. Meng with a calm face.
"Master, I'm not done yet. Now it's not the Chu family that matters, it's Meng Shen. Madame Meng took a step back to prevent Meng Ye from getting angry with her, and then said the second half of the sentence, "Meng Shen took advantage of the chaos to run away." ”
"What?" Meng Ye's face changed completely, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he yelled at Mrs. Meng, "You actually let him run away? How many times have you told you to take good care of this rebel, why did you send so many people to Zhuangzi, and you couldn't even look at a single Meng Shen? What are you eating?"
"Master, I really can't think of it!" Mrs. Meng quickly explained, "I have inquired, there is an old servant in the Zhuangzi who is missing, it should be Meng Shen who they assisted to escape......
"What's the use of you talking about this now?" said Monshen angrily, "the immediate priority is to get this rebel back, and not let him talk nonsense outside." ”
"Master, I've already sent someone to find it. Mrs. Meng said, "But Yancheng is so big, I don't know where to look for it for a while, and when Meng Shen runs like this, there must be someone outside to pick it up." ”
"Send people to guard the gates of each yamen, and when you see Meng Shen, immediately arrest him, don't let him have a chance to speak, and ...... if necessary" Meng Ye didn't finish his sentence halfway, only gesturing with a gesture.
Mrs. Meng sighed secretly, she naturally knew what Meng Ye meant, but she had sworn that she would never use this method again, but now there is no other way, she can't let Meng Shen talk nonsense, and the reputation of the Meng family will be all affected, and this may be the only quick way.
As for those rumors and how to seal the mouth of the Chu family, it is a relatively small matter, as long as there is no real evidence, gossip is just gossip after all, and after a few days, everyone will forget about it, and the people of Yancheng are very forgetful.
……
Just when the Meng family sent people around to look for Meng Shen,
The back office of the yamen of the prefect of Yancheng.
Zhu Ying looked at the corpse in front of him, his head was big, he thought it was just a street idler, and someone had a grudge against him, after getting drunk, he was slapped with a brick, a trivial matter, Yancheng dragons and snakes were mixed, this kind of thing happens every day, as long as it is not a high-ranking official or nobleman who dies, who cares so much?
Honest ordinary people, just check it out, those who fight and make trouble all day long, and endanger their neighbors, one or less dies.
Now, what kind of category should this Monshen fall into?
To say that Meng Shen is not a scoundrel who causes trouble, and it is not easy to deal with it as a scoundrel, but it is difficult to solve the case seriously, after all, the Meng family is now in full swing, and if Meng Shen is the most offended, the one who wants him to die is probably none other than his old son.
But this kind of case is not something that he can manage as a small prefect, Meng Ye's official position is higher than him, and he has a prince's son-in-law, so he is not allowed to investigate it carefully.
People who have been generals, there will be some die-hard people under them, and they will find someone to kill Meng Shen at random, and they don't know it, where can they find evidence?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying secretly complained again, this Meng family is really good at doing things, just do it cleanly, just find a place to dig a pit and bury Meng Shen, even if a few days later, the body will be discovered, it will have long been rotted and unrecognizable, so it can be disposed of as a headless public case, and it is convenient for everyone.
As a result, the Meng family actually threw people in the back alley not far from the Li Yamen, and it was difficult for him to know it.
After complaining, it is still necessary to solve it.
Zhu Ying thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let someone notify the Meng family to come to the corpse.
I didn't say that I recognized it as Meng Shen, but only that the yamen found the body, and I heard that someone from the Meng family seemed to be lost, so let's see if it's a person from the Meng family.
Meng also received the news. Immediately send a clever steward to identify the corpse.
The steward recognized that it was Meng Shen, but in front of Zhu Ying, he was a little vague, using the excuse that this person's face was a little swollen and looked like a person in the house, but he was really unsure, and he had to go back to the house to find this person's relatives, so he ran away.
After confirming that it was Meng Shen who died, Meng also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the problem came. How to reply to Zhu Ying?
He said that he was his own son. Do you want Zhu Ying to solve the case? As the saying goes, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, what if you really want to find out all the bastard things that Meng Shen said before? In the public court, there are some things that cannot be ambiguous.
But it is not his own son. This Zhu Yingwan recognized it. It's hard to do that then.
It's a difficult time. Or did Mrs. Meng come up with an idea, saying that they didn't kill the person anyway, so what if she directly admitted it? Zhu Ying has always been cunning. knew how to inform the Meng family, which meant that he actually recognized the body as Meng Shen, but for some considerations, he couldn't say for sure.
I can't be sure of this person's attitude, but you can't talk nonsense, and if you insist on denying that this person is not Mengshen, it is very likely that you will fall into the trap of the other party.
Thinking about it carefully, Meng Shen has no grudges with people in Yancheng, who really wants to put him to death? I'm afraid that it is not Meng Shen personally, but the entire Meng family.
If the Meng family denies that the person is Meng Shen, that is, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, but someone is holding the handle, in this case, it is better to admit it generously, as for Zhu Ying, he will investigate afterwards, and he will check it.
The Meng family is not the kind of small family that has no power and power, so can he ask the people in the backyard of the Meng family carefully?
What they have to do now is just to control the mouths of the Meng family's subordinates, and don't let the subordinates reveal the ugly things that Meng Shen said before, at least unknowingly.
As for whether Zhu Ying will check or not, what will be found is Zhu Ying's business.
Their Meng family has no regrets about Meng Shen's death, Zhu Ying is a smart person, it can be seen from the last time he dealt with Meng Shen's complaint that he is not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory, but he is not a dead brain.
Since this is the case, let Zhu Ying have a headache himself, Mrs. Meng hopes that Zhu Ying can really find out something, after all, Meng Shen died inexplicably, and he doesn't know who is planning the Meng family behind his back.
After thinking about it carefully, Meng also felt that what Mrs. Meng said was quite reasonable, and now it was the only way.
The problem was thrown to Zhu Ying, who was in charge of investigating the case, and how Zhu Ying investigated will not be mentioned for the time being.
Since the Meng family admitted that it was Meng Shen who died, then the funeral was the top priority, after all, Meng Ye and Meng Shen did not break away from the father-son relationship, although they were not sad, but they still had to do something on the surface.
However, Madame Monte soon discovered a man who was the first to benefit from the incident.
Meng Xiaofu doesn't have to enter the palace, he can still shrink in the Dingwang Mansion.
Dingwang's mansion was folded, saying that there was a funeral in the house, and it was inconvenient to enter the palace.
Meng Shen is Meng Xiaofu's eldest brother, half-brother and sister, his own brother died, although the younger sister does not need to wear linen and filial piety, but it is not good to participate in any banquet, in the first seven days of Meng Shen, it is even more inconvenient to enter the palace, so as not to bump into the nobles.
This result made Mrs. Meng think about it again.
This is too much of a coincidence, Meng Shen made such a scene, seeing that it was going to affect Xiaofu's reputation, the bastard words that Meng Shen said spread out, and the most affected came out of Meng Ye, and then Meng Xiaofu, who was the princess of Ding, how many people would point fingers behind her back.
But now that Meng Shen is dead, this little blessing has become a beneficiary, avoiding a possible danger, and it can be delayed for a while, this kind of thing happens again and again, it really makes people have to wonder something.
Without evidence, suspicion is only suspicion after all.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but tell Meng Ye these words, but she was scolded by Meng Ye instead, saying that she had nothing to do and knew that she was cranky all day long.
What is Xiaofu's identity, and what is Meng Shen's identity? As for wanting to put Meng Shen to death in order to avoid entering the palace?
When Meng Ye spoke, he was still a little unkind, and said a few sarcastic words, saying that according to Mrs. Meng's previous random speculation, if this Xiaofu really wants to do something to people, the first thing to deal with is Mrs. Meng, and the death of a grandmother is more influential than the death of a big brother.
Before, Mrs. Meng still suspected that Meng Shen was instructed by someone to bewitch her, so she said those bastard words, but she didn't want to think about how far in advance this matter had to be arranged? Xiaofu entered the palace only in the last few days, and the time was not right at all, and even if Meng Shen died, there was no need for Meng Shen to say those words that would disgrace the entire Meng family.
Speaking of this, Meng also instructed Mrs. Meng one more thing.
First, the subordinates in Zhuangzi at that time, no matter what method they used, they must shut up and not talk nonsense, and it is up to Mrs. Meng to do what they do.
Second, the family affair with the Chu family will continue, Meng Shen is dead, after the first seven, Meng Si will get married, this folk also has a custom, some girls are old, or there are other reasons, they can marry within half a month after the first seven of the elders.
The first one doesn't need to be commanded by Meng, and Mrs. Meng will do it, but the next day is a little bit of a thing.
On that day, the Chu family ran so fast, obviously they didn't want to get married to this family business again, besides, after listening to Meng Shen's bastard words, can the Chu family not have an opinion on Meng Si?
Meng Ye didn't care about these, saying that there were some things that the Chu family knew, if they didn't get married, many things would be difficult to explain, and now they had to continue to marry Meng Si.
As for whether Chu Jiale is happy or not, what else can he do with a mere businessman's family? This was also Meng Si, who they themselves first came to ask to marry, and it was not so easy to regret it afterwards, no matter what, this matter had to be done.
Meng also saw that Mrs. Meng seemed to be unbearable, and warned that this matter was related to the entire Meng family and must be done.
Mrs. Meng thought that this was also a way to avoid risks, which was to wronged the girl Mengsi.
But now there is no way, besides, this is also Meng Si's own pleasure beforehand, according to Meng Ye, she found it by herself, and she can only blame her for her bad luck.
is also a concubine, some people's luck is stronger than others, and their wishes come true, once something bad is going to happen, they don't have to do anything themselves, it seems that they can turn the crisis into safety.
While Mrs. Meng felt sorry for Monsi, she was inexplicably shocked again, one thing can be said to be a coincidence, but so many coincidences together, how can people say this?
This kind of thing happened to Xiaofu's side, but those who had malicious intent towards her and had no use value disappeared inexplicably, and those who had malicious intentions, but still had use value, could be safe and sound, just like her and Meng Ye, they killed Xiaofu and took action, but it didn't succeed, but Xiaofu needs living parents, so she and Meng are still safe and sound.
