Chapter 140: Good and Evil Are Rewarded
Fu Qinglian asked Meng Hongyi stunned for a series of questions, and Meng Hongyi reacted for a long time and said, "Lord Wang, I didn't mean that, it's just that I believe my father wouldn't do this kind of thing." ”
This sentence completely made Fu Qinglian laugh, he sneered and said, "Do you believe it? Do you know that your good father has sent people to assassinate me several times, and do you know that in Weinan City, this king almost died at the hands of your good father? ”
Meng Hongyi's face was full of disbelief, how could it be? She had never heard of her father doing such a thing to the prince.
And the two of them have become a married couple, and their father will not kill him no matter what.
So he shook his head in disbelief and said, "Impossible, how could my father do such a thing, Lord Wang, you are my husband and my father's son-in-law, how could my father harm you?" ”
The more Meng Hongyi said that the more confidence she had, the more she lacked confidence, and Fu Qinglian didn't look like he was joking. But she still had a glimmer of hope, all this was just a mistake made by the prince, and her father would never do such a thing.
"Could it be that my father really did something to hurt the prince?" Meng Hongyi thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say it now, and she didn't dare to show that she was really about to believe it.
But now all the reality has been placed in front of her, no matter how hard she denies it, she can't erase the current facts.
"Impossible, impossible." Meng Hongyi shook her head and muttered to herself.
Fu Qinglian snorted coldly, he didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Meng Hongyi: "Impossible? You go and ask Meng Zhendong how many dirty things he has done over the years. ”
After Fu Qinglian finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but Meng Hongyi still held Fu Qinglian's leg and didn't let him go.
Even if her father really did something to hurt the prince, she couldn't watch her father die.
"Lord, lord, if my father really did something to hurt you, I apologize to you on behalf of my father, but in our husband and wife relationship, you can help Meng Fu." Meng Hongyi shed tears as she spoke.
"Do you know what crime your father committed? Don't say that this king can't protect him, even if he can, this king won't, he has always regarded this king as a thorn in the flesh, this king protects him, do you want to wait for him to kill me? Fu Qinglian sneered.
"This king only keeps your identity as a princess because of the relationship between husband and wife, otherwise, this king should divorce you today." After Fu Qinglian finished speaking, he pulled his legs and left.
He has already made his most merciful decision, at least one person is reserved for the Meng family, otherwise, according to Meng Zhendong's crime, he should be killed by the Nine Clans, and he has also done the only thing he can do, good and evil will be rewarded.
Meng Hongyi listened to Fu Qinglian's words, she was obviously distracted, her eyes were hollow, and she sat on the ground, as if she didn't want to believe that it was from Fu Qinglian's mouth.
She knew that she really had no way to persuade Fu Qinglian to be her father, she could only watch her father take responsibility for what he had done wrong.
The love of the past was just wishful thinking on her part, and she finally knew that no matter what she said, it would not change Fu Qinglian's determination to kill her father, and everything had reached the point of complete irreparability.
It turned out that she didn't divorce her because of the love between husband and wife, Meng Hongyi came back to her senses, looked at the back of Fu Qinglian leaving, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It seems that I really don't have any status in his heart." Meng Hongyi smiled bitterly.
She staggered and half-knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, this time she had completely lost the pride and dignity of the past, and had completely become a person who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from others, even if others saw it, they could see her current embarrassment and despair.
But all this is only the result of their own fault, and no one is willing to do anything for them except pity.
"Princess, let's go back first." Cuihua looked at Meng Hongyi with some distress, and said softly, she has been kneeling here for a while, but she has not gained anything at all, and now the last hope has been shattered.
"Let's go." Meng Hongyi sighed and said, she knew that she had no room for recovery.
Now that Fu Qinglian has already said this, it is useless for Meng Hongyi to continue begging.
Cuihua helped Meng Hongyi up, Meng Hongyi's legs were already kneeling to the point of being unconscious, and the two slowly walked towards Meng Hongyi's courtyard.
"Father, mother, it's not that the daughter doesn't save you, the daughter has tried her best, but she can't do anything." Meng Hongyi said in her heart, tears falling down her cheeks involuntarily.
On the other side, Wang Qingyuan and Ye Ting led the soldiers to bring back to the palace the copper ore and copper coins minted by Meng Zhendong from the mine, and the family property of Meng's mansion had also been stolen.
The once glorious mansion fell short in an instant, and the former glory can only exist as it once was. And now, this mansion will also have a new owner to succeed him.
Meng Zhendong was locked in the cell of Dali Temple, although he pretended to be very calm, but what happened now was completely beyond his expectations, and he knew that this time he was already in a catastrophe.
But now, even if he is dying, he still can't figure out who is investigating him behind his back, he has always been so secretive and careful in his work, and has never been sent by others, why everything he did this time will be exposed so thoroughly.
If it weren't for the fact that someone had betrayed him, he really couldn't think of anyone else who had the means and skills to bring him down behind his back.
At that time, it was Wang Qingyuan and Ye Ting who arrested him in the cell, but Meng Zhendong felt that there was someone else behind the scenes, and someone else must have done it to him, so things would go so smoothly.
Wang Qingyuan, although his mind is very delicate, he is not so bold and reckless. So who will be behind the investigation?
According to Fu Beixing's instructions, Wang Qingyuan and Ye Ting confiscated all the shops opened by Meng Zhendong in the name of his subordinates, and all the things in the shops were also returned to the state treasury.
I didn't expect Meng Zhendong to embezzle so much money behind his back, there was some. The empty treasury became full in an instant, and it seems that this Meng Zhendong is making a lot of money in private.
Fu Qinglian returned to the room after breathing, but found that Wei Lin was already waiting for him at the door of the room, he knew that he was here now, there must be something to discuss with him, so he looked at the people around him.
Fu Qinglian took into account Hua Shenyue and the imperial doctors in the room, and took Wei Lin and Chen Shi to the study.
"Tell me, how is the investigation going?" Fu Qinglian asked.
"Back to the prince, my subordinates asked the maid in the courtyard and the guard maid who lived nearby, and finally found out the news, and some people said that they saw the maid Meixiang sneaking around the flower girl's room." Wei Lin replied.
"Mei Xiang again?" Fu Qinglian's brows furrowed, what he thought was really right, how could there be a snake in the room in this weather now, sure enough, someone deliberately wanted to harm Hua Shenyue.
It was this Mei Xiang who poisoned Hua Shenyue last time, it seems that Hua Shenyue was bitten by a snake this time, and it has nothing to do with her, what does she think? Was it instigated? Why do you want to hurt her three times?
"Yes, there are still people who have seen Mei Xiang enter the flower girl's room with their own eyes, but because the flower girl and Mei Xiang have always been better, they didn't take it to heart." Wei Lin continued.
Fu Qinglian's eyes became sharp, and it seemed that it was Mei Xiang's hand.
"Have you found out who instructed Mei Xiang?" Fu Qinglian continued to ask.
"This ......" Wei Lin hesitated, as if he didn't dare to continue, but it seemed that he should already know who was doing it behind the scenes.
"Tell me the truth." Seeing Wei Lin's performance like this, Fu Qinglian thought that his conjecture should be correct.
"Yes, some people have seen Mei Xiang talking to Cuihua frequently, and they have also seen Mei Xiang come out of the princess's room a few times." Wei Lin told the truth.
Fu Qinglian's eyes became more aggressive, and his expression became serious. The hand he put under the table had been clenched into a fist fiercely, and it turned out that it was really Meng Hongyi who wanted to put Hua Shenyue to death many times.
"This king knows, you go down first." Fu Qinglian said calmly, as if he was not angry. Chen Shi knew that the calmer Fu Qinglian was at this moment, the more angry he was in his heart.
"Yes." After Wei Lin finished speaking, he retreated, and there were only two people left in the room, Fu Qinglian and Chen Shi.
Fu Qinglian didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. Chen Shi felt that Fu Qinglian might be thinking about how to deal with Meng Hongyi. Fu Qinglian didn't speak, and Chen Shi didn't dare to speak.
"Let's go." Fu Qinglian suddenly stood up and said to Chen Shi.
Chen Shi didn't ask where to go, just followed behind Fu Qinglian. If he guessed correctly, Fu Qinglian was going to Meng Hongyi's courtyard.
It was already dark, Fu Qinglian walked out of the study, and walked straight to Meng Hongyi's room.
Meng Hongyi sat at the table, on the table in front of her, there were a few dishes, Cuihua was persuading Meng Hongyi to eat, but Meng Hongyi was just looking at the food on the table in a daze.
Fu Qinglian took Chen Shi directly to Meng Hongyi's room, Cuihua turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Fu Qinglian, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted and saluted Fu Qinglian: "See the prince." ”
When Meng Hongyi heard what Cuihua said, she raised her head sharply and looked at Fu Qinglian who was standing at the door.
Fu Qinglian didn't speak, he stared at Meng Hongyi and walked straight to her side.
Cuihua looked at Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue, she was a little happy in her heart, she thought that Fu Qinglian knew that Meng Hongyi was in a bad mood, so she came to see her.
"Lord Wang." Meng Hongyi raised his head and looked at Fu Qinglian for a long time before shouting.
Meng Hongyi naturally knew that Fu Qinglian didn't come to see her on purpose, she saw anger and incomprehension in Fu Qinglian's eyes.
Fu Qinglian didn't speak, he raised his hand and slapped Meng Hongyi fiercely.
