31. With you
Chen Ping's expression was in a trance for a moment, and after a long time, Fang Shen lowered his face and said solemnly: "The Shuntian Mansion Criminal Prison Division has been ordered by Lord Yin, because Meng Heng is suspected of murdering people, and because the same medicinal materials that caused the defendant's son to lose his life were found in the capsule shop operated by the Meng family, it can be said that the human and material evidence is complete, so Meng Heng is hereby specially ordered to be arrested and returned to the prison of the Criminal Prison Division with this book to await trial. ”
"Do you have any objections?" He felt that under the gaze of the young man's eyes, every word was difficult to speak.
However, the young man's face was as indifferent as ever, as if at this moment, the positions of the two were reversed, and the young man with the knife was the one waiting to be taken to the prison.
"Is it useful to disagree?" The young man raised his eyebrows and chuckled, walked calmly in front of Chen Ping, and even stretched out his hands leisurely.
"If you want to tie it up or shackle-shackles, Lord Chen, please go to the toilet." The tone of his voice is as casual as chatting and chatting.
Chen Ping's eyebrows furrowed, only to feel that he couldn't understand the thin young man in front of him more and more.
However, at this moment, there was a light smile in the dark eyes that stared directly at him.
It's as if the boy never took anything into his eyes, not even if he was in prison.
Chen Ping suddenly felt that the breath that was pressing on his heart loosened a little, he looked at the young man steadily, and said in a deep voice: "Take Meng Heng back." ”
However, after all, it is a sign of shame that a suspect should not be shackled on the juvenile.
A young man in plain white clothes walked in the middle of this group of people with cold eyebrows, black clothes and black boots, standing out from the crowd, like a bright moon in the dark night sky.
The peculiar thing is that none of the people who followed the boy felt that there was anything unusual or unruly about this, as if the boy should have done this, and if he wanted to put shackles on him, it would have insulted him.
Even their prefect, Chen Ping, arranged a cleanest and most transparent cell for the young man, and it was natural that he was in a trance, and no one said a word of gossip.
Meng Heng was even more unconscious of this "preferential treatment", and when Chen Ping sent him to the door of the cell, he pushed the door in by himself, sat cross-legged on the low bed on one side, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
For him, changes in the external environment never pose any threat.
Whether it is an elegant and comfortable house, a simple and simple farmhouse, or a prison cell in this square inch now, it will not affect it at all.
He raised his eyes and squinted at Chen Ping, who was standing alone outside the cell, until the other party closed his mouth, then closed his eyes again, turned over and lay down, lying on his side on the wooden bed that was not very inferior.
However, it was a little awkward, and it seemed that it was because of the soft sleep.
Meng Heng thought boredly with his eyes closed.

When Xiao Yu received the letter, it was already early morning two days later.
At that time, he was busy trying to find a way to stabilize the group of movers who were faintly restless because of the postponement of the imperial examination, and he didn't close his eyes all night. It is said that although he is the prince of the East Palace, he should be powerful, but now he is addicted to Taoism and art, and he has already lost his power and is fully governed by the cabinet of the DPRK and China.
It is a pity that the powerful ministers colluded and formed a party-business-private gain, which turned the government into a miasma.
Some of them even had other schemes.
Xiao Yu was deeply shocked when he learned the news from Luo Yun, but he calmed down and secretly set out to collect evidence, but what he didn't expect was that the person was even involved in the teenager.
He didn't care that he hadn't slept all night, so he rode all the way to the Shuntianfu prison.
Fortunately, someone seemed to have done it in advance, and only gave the guard a little silver taels, and then he saw the young man who was worried about him.
In the empty cell, surrounded by iron walls, half a glimmer of light shone obliquely through the narrow skylight above the cell, casting a round spot of light on the ground.
The young man was sitting on the edge of the wooden bed at this time, carrying a teapot and sipping into the spout, while lowering his hand to pick up half a grain cake from the porcelain plate beside him, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Xiao Yu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but call out loud: "Doctor Meng." ”
Meng Heng tilted his head slightly, and he was not surprised to see the person who came, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You are here." ”
The tortillas taste pretty good, just a little dry.
He craned his neck again and poured the few remaining sips of tea into his mouth.
Xiao Yu only felt that his heart was sinking, and even his throat felt difficult, he was silent for a long time, and said, "Doctor Meng has long known that there will be a difficulty today?" ”
The messenger told him in detail, how the poor mother and son were involved with the young man, how he sued the young man to the yamen, and how the young man calmly faced the criminal prison department and the quick arrest officials, followed everyone to the yamen, and told him everything.
However, for so many days, the boy never said a word about him.
On that day, Luo Yun was sent over to deliver the letter, but he only said that he had an eyebrow on the matter he had entrusted him, and the rest was not revealed at all.
Looking back on this, Xiao Yu only felt that his heart was flooded with more complicated feelings, which was indescribable.
But seeing Meng Heng chuckled, he said, "I haven't known so much about it, I just know that some people don't give up lightly." As for whether to sue me to the yamen or to use any other means, it doesn't matter to Meng. ”
"Why didn't you sue me earlier?" Xiao Yu was silent for a while and said in a deep voice.
"Why did you sue you?" Meng Heng put the teapot aside, patted the crumbs of the grain cake on his fingertips, and said with a smile: "I have already told you what you asked me to investigate, and for the rest, you clean up your court, I tease my prey, we have nothing to do with each other." ”
Xiao Yu glanced at the smiling young man steadily, and his handsome eyebrows seemed to be stained with a faint layer of gloom.
"Dr. Meng is really open-minded." After a while, the young man sighed helplessly.
He turned his gaze across this small square world, and then fell on the young man sitting cross-legged, and said with a smile: "I never thought that Dr. Meng would be able to live at ease in such a situation. ”
"Why not? There are beds here, a pot of tea, and a little dry food, so that I can rest in bed, but I can't be hungry, and I don't have to bother to see and treat the people who deliver the name every day. The boy said, putting his arms behind his head and leaning on the side of the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a sense of contentment.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyelids slightly, and said with a light smile: "The prison that the world is afraid of avoiding, and Dr. Meng described it so leisurely, it really makes me want to experience it." ”
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It's just self-comfort, Your Excellency's daughter's body, it's better not to experience such imprisonment." ”
The young man shook his head slowly, although his voice was low, but it revealed an inexplicable persistence: "Being able to sit opposite Dr. Meng, even if you are in prison, is just a pleasure." ”
After saying this, he raised his eyes lightly and looked at the young man in the iron threshold.
The young man also raised his eyes to look at him, and there seemed to be something in his dark eyes, but it seemed that there was nothing.
At that time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, breaking the silence between the two.
It turned out to be Lord Yin Li of Shuntian Mansion, he heard the report from his subordinates, saying that there was a person in the prison to visit Dr. Meng, but his posture and bearing were extraordinary, and the silver he rewarded was extremely rich, and he couldn't help but have a faint guess in his heart when he heard such a description.
But he didn't even dare to think about it.
However, I came in a hurry this time, but I didn't expect to see it...... His Royal Highness the Prince.
After thinking about it again, I can't help but have another understanding of the young man in prison.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stepped forward, only gave a slight salute, and whispered: "Why did Your Highness suddenly become in prison?" ”
There are many people in the prison, and he can't make a big salute to reveal his status as His Highness, so he has to do this.
Only then did the young man look away, half-turned around and nodded to Lord Li, and said with a gentle smile: "It's not about business, so I didn't disturb Lord Li, and I don't want to be found out by Lord Li." ”
After turning his head, he looked deeply at the young man in the prison and said, "But there is something I want to ask Master Li for help right now." ”
Master Li flashed all kinds of speculations in his mind, if His Highness wanted him to release the young man, it would be difficult to do......
However, he said again and again: "Your Highness said yes." ”
The young man's eyelids flashed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Can you make it convenient for my lord, and let me go into this prison to accompany Dr. Meng for a while?" ”
Master Li was stunned in place, and when he came back to his senses, he was sweating again, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you enter this prison, isn't it a torture......
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the young man shook his head slightly, and said, "Where am I?" Others don't know, don't Lord Fu Yin still know, I'm just a down-and-out prince, even if I go in and stay for a while, I guess I won't attract attention. ”
"What's more, I believe that today's events, Lord Yin will not ask anyone to reveal a single star." The young man smiled slightly.
"Since His Highness said so, if Weichen doesn't agree, it will be against His Highness's trust." Master Li struggled in his heart, and finally sighed.
He asked the jailer next to him to take the key to open the cell door, pushed it gently, and said, "Your Highness, please." ”
