Chapter 312: The Wind

Pei Xuanye pouted in protest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But she also understood that what Xuan Hui said was not unreasonable, so she sat down and chatted with Pei Shuangxi in a low voice.

At this time, Li Ruolan brought the grass in, and said to Yang Yunshu with a smile: "Princess, the guests have arrived, do you think you can start the banquet?" ā€

Yang Yunshu didn't answer, only nodded, and then said to Mrs. Meng: "...... It's not a way for you to worry about it like this, look at a few people, and talk to Lord Meng to discuss. In his son's marriage, he didn't have a reason to be the shopkeeper! ā€

Mrs. Meng said: "I'm angry when I talk about this, I don't know what he's busy with these days, and he can't go in and out of the house." When asked, it was said that there was a murder case in the city, and the corpse floated onto the Qinhuai River, which frightened many people......"

Li Ruolan was refilling Yang Yunshu's cup of tea, and when she heard this, her hand shook and she sprinkled some tea on the corner of Yang Yunshu's skirt.

Mrs. Meng glanced at Li Ruolan and said with a smile: "Aunt Lan is not a person who serves people, I'm afraid I can't get used to these jobs!" ā€

Li Ruolan was a little frightened on her face, and she squatted down to wipe Yang Yunshu's skirt with a handkerchief, and kept making amends.

Yang Yunshu said with a smile: "My Aunt Lan is the most timid, and when she heard what you said about human life and corpses, she was frightened." ā€

She turned her head to Li Ruolan and said, "You get up, it's only at the corner of the skirt, and it's a pleated skirt, so it's not in the way." ā€

Mrs. Meng is from a scholarly family, and her husband's family has the rule that no child can accept a concubine, so she looks down on a woman like Li Ruolan who is in a hurry to be a concubine.

She said nonchalantly, "The princess is really generous", and was about to divert the topic, but Li Ruolan stood up, asked with a smile next to her: "That woman is also strange and pitiful, I don't know if someone will collect the funeral for her?" ā€

Mrs. Meng frowned and said, "What is there to be pitiful about the woman who welcomes and laughs every day?" If the old bustard had a conscience, he might have wrapped her in a broken mat and thrown her to a mass grave outside the city. Otherwise, when the case is closed, the government will pay one or two taels of silver, and bury it casually outside the city with a thin-skinned coffin. ā€

When Li Ruolan heard this, she felt sad and very guilty in her heart, and the words on her lips almost rushed out of her mouth, but she was used to being cautious, and swallowed it back.

Yang Yunshu's sharp eyes saw it, and he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Say whatever you want. ā€

Li Ruolan lowered her head and said, "It's nothing." ā€

The men in the outer courtyard had already opened their seats, and they were also talking about this unsolved murder case.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ On the second day, after waiting for a long time, no one came back, and when the old bustard sent someone to look for it, the prostitute was gone, guessing that the woman ran with her, and she could only admit that she was unlucky. Who knew that there was no rain in the past few days, but the corpse floated up......"

"A dusty woman, I don't know who she offended?" Wang Yiqian asked casually while turning the amber liquid in the wine cup.

Xue Yuanhan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this woman may still be your friend, I heard that she was also a smash hit when she was in Fuzhou!" ā€

Wang Yiqian also smiled: "Xue Changshi, this is misunderstanding me!" It's just that I have no one to detain in Jinling, so I let go of the wreckage. When I was in Fuzhou, both eyes at home were staring at me, and I couldn't wait to make a mistake for me every day, so that the old man hated me! How dare I run to Goolan Courtyard three times a day! ā€

"Chen Honglian, haven't you heard of it?" Xue Yuanhan said with a smile.

Wang Yiqian looked into his eyes and smiled: "I really haven't heard of it!" Why don't Xue Changshi take me to identify the corpse? If you are really a good friend, you don't care if your face is swollen, and your horizontal body is familiar! ā€

Meng Shiyi almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, was glared at by his father, and quickly confessed, and sat down in danger to continue listening to the people at the table.

"Meng Gongzi, you are familiar with Confucius and Mencius, and you have a meritorious reputation, don't laugh at Bai Ding like me for speaking rudely." Wang Yiqian handed over a glass of wine to pay tribute to Meng Shiyi.

Because he was older and his father had a powerful position, Meng Shiyi didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly got up and picked up the wine cup and touched Wang Yiqian, and both of them drank it all.

"General Wang and Pei Shizi are not here today, as if there are many people missing. General Wang is guarding filial piety at home and doesn't come, why doesn't this Pei Shizi show up? Wang Yiqian seemed to have drunk a little too much, his face turned red, and he talked a lot.

When Xue Yuanhan saw him ask about Pei Minzhong, he glanced at Liang Zhan and waited for him to reply.

Seeing this, Wang Yiqian hurriedly smiled: "I just ask casually, if it's inconvenient to say, don't say it!" ā€

Liang Zan smiled and said casually: "There's nothing that can't be said, Ah Yuan is just afraid to say it, and it seems that Shen Zhigang is a little sluggish." Xuanhui was pregnant and wanted to eat loquat fruit, but now there is no one for sale in Jinling, so Shen Zhi took someone to the south to find it. ā€

Wang Yiqian laughed twice and didn't speak again.

After three rounds of drinking, Liang Zan went to the outer study under the pretext of convenience, and asked someone to call Wang Yiqian over.

After Wang Yiqian went in to salute, Liang Zan asked him to sit down, and then squinted at him intently.

Wang Yiqian smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know why the prince called me over?" I tend to talk a lot when I'm drunk, but when I'm happy today, I'm greedy for a few more glasses...... If something is wrong, the prince will not blame ......"

Liang Zan sneered and said, "Talk a lot? I think you're very tight-mouthed! Your father sent nearly 30,000 men to fight the Japanese invaders, and you didn't mention it? ā€

Wang Yiqian's eyes widened, he was so frightened that he woke up halfway, hurriedly knelt down, and said incoherently: "What the prince said is true? I, I don't know at all! ā€

"You don't know?" Liang Zan looked at Wang Yiqian playfully, and continued: "You brought your father's table with you when you came, and you won't know what is written in it, right?" ā€

Wang Yiqian hurriedly said: "I know this, I know!" Father said that if there is a need to use soldiers and horses, he must come to inform the prince first. ā€

"The result?" Liang Zan said angrily.

Wang Yiqian wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head and said, "Lord Wang, there must be something strange about this matter!" This time, the robbers came to make trouble, you know, the gang of robbers also landed in Songjiang, Chongming and other places to harass them. I heard about them when I was wandering around the city, and I didn't know their whereabouts......"

"This time, my father sent troops, or the incident was urgent, and it was too late to report it. Or......" a painful expression appeared on his face, "My brother held a key position in my father's army, and he was not on good terms with me for many years. Maybe my father ordered him to send troops and inform the prince, but he deliberately didn't pass it on and framed me......"

Wang Yiqian raised his head boldly, and when he saw Liang Zan looking at him coldly, he hurriedly lowered his head, unable to guess whether Liang Zan believed it or not.

"Go on!" Liang Zan shouted.
