Chapter 520: Backstage
Mrs. Meng was so good at talking about it, and finally persuaded Meng Guang for the time being.
When I returned to the house, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh and couldn't help but think, what the hell is going on? People who are accustomed to this kind of backhouse method do not believe the rumors in the streets and alleys, but there must be a reason for the outflow of such rumors, but I don't know the people who spread the rumors are and have intentions.
But in this way, the son will inevitably have a grudge against the Guojun Palace, so how can he and the young lady of the Guojun Mansion still get married?
If the misunderstanding is not revealed, I am afraid that there will be one more pair of resentful couples in this world.
Mrs. Meng couldn't think of a way for a while, she only felt that the recent troubles were targeted, and she thought of Xiaofu again, if it was Xiaofu, maybe she would know the reason, but the last time it was so unpleasant, Xiaofu had already said that she would not take care of the affairs of the palace anymore, and she was not good at coming to the door again, even if she was cheeky, people would not pay attention to her, but it was just a humiliation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have easily pursued something, which angered Meng Xiaofu, and now Xiaofu and Meng's family are almost against each other, they don't care about anything, and no one reminds her when something happens.
Sometimes people are like this, others manage too much, it is easy to doubt the intentions of others, once you leave it alone, you are constrained in doing things, and then you regret it.
Mrs. Meng only felt that Xiaofu's methods were a little ruthless, but thinking about it, this is also one of the ways to solve the problem, there are so many enemies outside the Dingwang Mansion, and there are a bunch of things in the mansion, a little soft-hearted, weaker, I am afraid that I don't know how to die.
Looks like we'll have to settle the matter on our own.
In the end, Mrs. Meng decided to go to the wife of Yin Zhuying of Yancheng Mansion. Inquire about the details of this case.
This case was solved externally, saying that Bibo Lou's ** hated this water moon for being disobedient, and wanted to find someone to teach her a lesson, but that person missed for a while or misunderstood the meaning of **, which caused a big disaster.
said so, but Madame Monte didn't believe it.
It's just that because of his identity, it's not good to inquire openly, after all, his son has an entanglement with a Qinglou woman, and it's not good to spread it, even if everyone knows it. Just grit your teeth and don't admit it. And that's in the past.
Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Meng had met several times at the banquet before, and they had a little friendship, but this time it was the door of the identity of the women in the house.
Mrs. Zhu received Mrs. Meng very warmly, but she was warm and polite. There is a lot of door-to-door access. But don't ask for anything too much. It's best not to get involved in things between men, especially since her husband Zhu Ying is the Yin of Yancheng Mansion, and some cases involve powerful people on weekdays. Many people have tried every possible way to ask people to find a way to exonerate, and this Mrs. Zhu has always been the most annoying.
Mrs. Meng can naturally understand what Mrs. Zhu meant, but she is not asking someone to do something, ask about some of the circumstances of this case, and see if there are some reasons that the outside world does not know, which is not difficult for strong people.
After listening to Madame Monts's roundabout questions.
Mrs. Zhu was a little embarrassed: "Mrs. Meng, it's not that I don't want to tell the truth, it's just that there are some things I don't know, our master has rarely mentioned official affairs after returning home, saying that the things in the yamen are annoying enough, so don't take them home to continue to bother, some cases are still a little scary, and he won't say much." ”
"This case is being discussed in the streets and alleys, didn't Lord Zhu say anything at all?" After Mrs. Meng blurted out, she felt that Mrs. Zhu might misunderstand such a statement, so she couldn't help but sneer, "I'm not saying that I don't believe Mrs. Zhu, but I'm really curious." ”
Mrs. Zhu said: "It's not for nothing at all, I mentioned two sentences, it doesn't matter, that is, the ones that everyone knows, that ** sent someone to teach Shui Zhongyue a lesson, but the shot was heavier, and then ** absconded in fear of crime, and committed suicide in prison when he was caught." ”
Madame Mont did not quite believe such a statement.
According to what I learned before, this case was clearly a deliberate murder, killed with a knife, and the murderer's methods of murder were so old that he was a little heavier for a while.
Besides, no matter how much grudge there is, no matter how much grudge there is, you won't want to destroy a very profitable cash cow.
If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but Mrs. Meng can't say anything, she can't ask directly, you're not lying to me, right?
Mrs. Zhu also felt embarrassed, she naturally knew that this set of statements was made up by her husband to fool the ignorant people, anyway, everyone has nothing to do with the moon in the water, but she just wants to satisfy her curiosity, and she can make up a story to make the people satisfied and at the same time be able to make a difference.
In this case, her husband also had a hard time, so the ** died, the clue was broken, and the pressure from the top was unbearable, and the case could not be closed.
I heard that Bibo Lou has a backstage, track it down, and find out the owner behind this brothel It must be bad, if you find out which prince and nobleman opened the brothel behind the scenes, then where will the face of the people go?
But this kind of place is the most profitable, and at the same time, it is also the most easy place to offend people, and if there is no extremely powerful person to support it, it will not be able to open at all.
Or, there are several layers of bosses behind the scenes, and the low-level ones don't know anyone who is two levels higher than him, and only after the accident does someone use various connections to settle down.
In the end, Mrs. Zhu could only apologize to Mrs. Meng again and again, not deliberately concealing it, she really didn't know much.
Mrs. Meng was disappointed and left, and before leaving, she sincerely asked Mrs. Zhu to help inquire again.
Mrs. Zhu agreed to come down.
After Zhu Ying came back, Mrs. Zhu informed Zhu Ying of Mrs. Meng's intention.
Zhu Ying sighed helplessly, this is really endless.
He knew that Shui Zhongyue was involved with the son of the Meng family, and in order to save face for the Meng family, there was no longer a rumored son of the Meng family, what else did the Meng family want?
Thinking about it, shouldn't this case have anything to do with the Meng family? This is also uncertain, his son has a relationship with a woman in a Qinglou, and if he doesn't listen to persuasion, he is in a hurry as a parent, so he wants to go to extremes, but it is very possible.
The Meng family is also motivated by some of the people involved in the case that they know so far.
It's just that I have been the governor of Yancheng for so many years, and I still know some of the situation in Yancheng. Especially the dignitaries, they have thoroughly investigated their dealings with the Meng family before.
The Meng family has the ability to buy a killer to kill Shui Zhongyue, but Mother Hua is not something that the Meng family can instruct, and a family like the Meng family will not have anything to do with a brothel like Bibo Lou, so the suspicion of the Meng family can be ruled out.
It stands to reason that it is too late for the Meng family to avoid suspicion, so why did they take the initiative to come to the door?
However, Mrs. Zhu knew women better, and said: "My lord, there is nothing strange about it, now there are rumors on the streets and alleys that it was the people from the Guojun Royal Mansion who instructed someone to kill Shui Zhongyue." These two families are about to become in-laws. With such rumors, presumably Meng Gongzi is not angry, and this marriage will turn into a feud, and Mrs. Meng must be trying to appease her son. Just come to the door to inquire about some news. I hope to clear the suspicion of the Guojun Palace. ”
Madame has a point. Zhu Ying nodded. Then he said, "I pity the hearts of my parents all over the world, but I disappointed her." I'm afraid there is no answer to this matter here. ”
Mrs. Zhu was very sympathetic to Mrs. Meng's motherly heart, and couldn't help but say, "Master, is this case really without eyebrows?"
Zhu Ying shook his head, "No, if you continue to investigate, there are too many people involved, and the movement is too big, it's not something that I, a small mansion, can manage, and now the discussion on the streets and alleys will know, and all of a sudden a royal mansion will be involved, but the death of a woman in a green building will actually involve several powerful people, can it be easily moved? If you really want to solve the case, you have to summon relevant people, but these people, who can I summon? This case can only be like this." ”
Seeing her husband's depressed appearance, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly comforted and changed the topic: "Master, just do your best...... Anyway, what happened to the last time you asked you to be transferred out of Beijing to release foreign duties?"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Zhu Ying shook his head again, "This position is a hot potato, the smart one is reluctant to take it, and he is a little confused, how can the top let him sit in this position? ”
Zhu Ying is conceited and talented, but in this Yancheng, it is difficult to have room to show, most of his mind has to be spent on dealing with the powerful, and many of these powerful people are not as talented as him, but they like to point fingers.
Annoyed for a moment, he said again: "In the future, when this Mrs. Meng comes to the door again, she will say that she will not know anything, and she will not say anything more." ”
Mrs. Zhu said, "This ...... Isn't it a bit ...... is not close to people, after all, this Mrs. Meng did not ask anything too embarrassing. ”
"Isn't this embarrassing?" Zhu Ying was a little annoyed, "These days, there are still few things that the Meng family has provoked, and almost all the tricky cases are related to their family, one is an accident, and one is like this, which can't help but make people wonder if the Meng family has any ulterior secrets." ”
Mrs. Zhu also knew that this matter was indeed not very good, but she didn't want to offend people too much, so as not to make trouble for those people to find her husband, so she said: "Why don't you reveal some and let them toss it by themselves? Doesn't it mean that the backstage of this Bibo Building is very big? The Meng family is not good at stubble, so let them check it themselves, and offending people is also their Meng family's business." ”
This...... Zhu Ying twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, this is not bad, if the matter passes like that, he always feels ashamed, as a Fu Yin, he can't protect the people and seek justice for the people who died in vain, he is a very bad Fu Yin.
Reveal a little bit and let them toss on their own.
In this way, Zhu Ying discussed with Mrs. Zhu, thought of a word, and waited for Mrs. Meng to come, so he said so.
Two days later, Mrs. Meng came to the door again.
Meng Guang has always been unhappy, and she can't keep coaxing, unless there is really any real evidence, this matter has nothing to do with the Guojun Palace, otherwise this family matter is really difficult.
Mrs. Zhu revealed some information to Mrs. Meng according to what she had discussed with Zhu Ying in advance.
That is, although Bibo Lou is the boss of Mother Hua, but a woman has no backstage, no matter what, it can't be done, a person like Mother Hua, if she is really confused for a while, she doesn't have to hit her head to death, the case has not been officially promoted, and the evidence is also very weak.
It's not enough to convict Hua's mother, and the brothels are naturally well-informed, so how can they not quibble, and easily commit suicide in fear of sin? Presumably there are still people behind the scenes.
But as soon as this flower's mother died, the clues were broken, and Zhu Ying, as the governor of the palace, had the responsibility to investigate, but the case involved was really not an ordinary person, and it couldn't be traced.
If this Mrs. Meng has a heart, she can check the boss behind this Bibo Building.
The only one who can instruct Mother Hua and make Mother Hua commit suicide in fear of guilt must be the boss behind the scenes.
Zhu Ying's ability is limited, even if he finds out something, a small Fu Yin can't help the other party.
Mrs. Zhu said these words very tactfully, but when she talks to smart people, she is a little thorough.
After hearing this, Mrs. Meng left with some disappointment, she knew what Mrs. Zhu said, but knowing is one thing, and some things really can't be ended with a word of knowing.
The behind-the-scenes boss of this Bibo Building, she had also checked it before, but she had no clue at all, and there was no way to check it.
In the evening, Mrs. Meng couldn't help it, and asked the maid to invite Meng Ye to come, and told Meng Ye about the matter, Meng Ye immediately became angry again, and reprimanded: "Aren't you messy enough? Since you know that the boss behind this Bibo Building is not ordinary, what else do you want to investigate? Really find out, let people notice, are you afraid that others don't know or think that others don't dare to touch you? Besides, what if you find out? Do you come to the door to ask the teacher for guilt or let your precious son knock on the door?"
Meng Ye's series of questions made Mrs. Meng speechless, she didn't think about it, her son's previous affairs made her very upset, and she didn't care about it at all, she just wanted to find out the truth, and let her son not have a grudge against Guojun Wangfu, after all, this family business can't be canceled, and her son and the young lady of Guojun Wangfu will live a lifetime.
Seeing this, Meng Ye sneered, "A woman is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge, only looking at the present, doing things impulsively, what happened to Xiaofu before, for your so-called curiosity, you have to track it down, regardless of the consequences, and now it's the same, you just want to appease your precious son, don't you want your son to know, won't you find someone to settle accounts? Speaking of which, this Zhu Ying is really cunning, he doesn't want to track it down, but he instigates you to investigate, you are a backhouse woman, what are you doing with these?"
Mrs. Meng was very aggrieved, "Master, this matter is obviously aimed at our Meng family and the Guojun Palace, how can you be at ease if you don't find out clearly?"
Meng Ye said: "There are more people going to the Meng family and the Guojun Palace, and it may not be related to this case, those gossips on the street may be the woman in the house you offended, and spreading rumors is a woman's trick, didn't you do it before?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Meng was a little embarrassed, she had done it before, but it was also a fact, it was not out of nothing to slander others, but now this is a matter of human life, and the intentions of the people who spread gossip are too sinister, thinking of this, she feels like sitting on pins and needles, and it is really difficult to feel at ease.
