When Qi heard this, his face changed, and he immediately resumed his smile, patted Jane and said: "You don't have to worry about that, the emperor likes a woman just like you like the melon leaf chrysanthemum in the yard at home, once a year, there is no accuracy." My Ling'er is so smart with ice and snow, he can like it when he sees that Xiaowei, if he sees you, I think..."

Jian Ning interrupted her father's words and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, didn't you just ask me to let the emperor meet me before entering the palace to study?" ”

Jian Qi looked at Jian Ning with anticipation, and Jian Ning said, "Okay, I'll see you, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

Jian Qi saw that although Jian Ning agreed, she clearly saw tears rolling in her eyes. I couldn't bear to want to hold Jian Ning in my arms, but who knows, Jian Ning smiled slightly, pretended to turn her head to wipe her tears, and skillfully avoided it.

Jian Qi sighed and said: "Ling'er, I know you hate your father, but I am also for your good, when you are favored one day, when you sit on the master of the harem and the mother of the world, you will know that your father is all for your good, your father is old, there are no days to live, your mother left early, if I go again, who will take care of you?" I'm going to find you the best place to settle down, so I..."

Jian Ning saw that her father's eyes were red, so she couldn't bear to say, "Dad, don't say it, it's not early, I want to go back and rest." ”

Jian Qi nodded, Jian Ning was about to leave, Jian Qi suddenly said, "You went to Meng Tianchu's house tonight?" ”

Jian Ning didn't look back, only said indifferently: "Yes"

"What are you going to do?"

"Didn't Mother Wang tell you everything?"

"You put her out the door, how does she know what you said?"

Jian Ning turned her head. looked at Jian Qi and said: "People are your daughter's life-saving benefactor, you don't say thank you, but I can't help but say it, if it weren't for Meng Tianchu, you would only choose one of your other daughters to enter the palace today, so I'm just going to say thank you." ”

Jian Qi knew the character of her third daughter, and she was in a hurry. She doesn't care about it, she does everything, now is the critical time, or don't anger her anymore. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "You are still more thoughtful than your father, and when your affairs are done, thank you." ”

Jian Ning bit her lip lightly. Turning around and leaving the study, Jian Qi watched his daughter disappear into the darkness, and her brows couldn't help frowning.

Following

Meng Tianchu rarely got up early in the morning, because there were more than a dozen people in his family who were going to move to the Governor's Mansion today. said that it was a small stay, but the emperor had already said that he should not come back to live until the house was repaired. One is to consider that he can concentrate. The second is that the Rain Spirit Heavenly Master can recuperate with peace of mind. The will arrived at the Governor's Mansion the night before, which must have kept Cheng Ziyi's family busy all night. Thinking of this, Meng Tianchu was even more embarrassed, but the holy will was difficult to disobey, and he had no choice.

After getting up, he first convened a small meeting of all the people in the family, and those who stayed and left were told and explained one by one, after all, they went to the governor's palace, and if some of them could not be explained, the loss of etiquette would make people laugh and look down on them.

After all this, Meng Tianchu took advantage of the fact that those workers had not started construction, so he took Jin'er in the yard to breathe fresh air, because he was leaving today, so the workers deliberately came a little late.

Lao He Tou came from the door and said with a smile: "Master, the eldest master and Wang Zhutou are here." ”

"Then just invite them in."

Seeing Cai Zhao and Wang Zhutou striding towards him from a distance, he handed Jin'er to the nurse on the side, and then walked over with a smile.

Cai Zhao smiled: "Tianchu, are you so interested today?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "I don't have much time to spend with my children on weekdays." ”

Cai Zhao nodded approvingly and said, "I can't see that Tianchu is still a good father." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Where is a good father, I have very little time to spend with my son, and when I think of this, I feel very guilty." By the way, what did Dong Weng and Wang Yi do to come to me earlier? ”

Wang Yi: "I just want to tell you about the progress of the case." ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he invited the two of them to sit under the gazebo, at this time the sun had not yet come out, and it was the time when it was cool.

The maid brought tea, and Meng Tianchu said: "Dong Weng and Brother Wang haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat some early." ”

Cai Zhao waved his hand again and again and said, "No, why don't we go out to eat?" ”

Meng Tianchu thought that the emperor would probably look for himself when he got up for a while, so he said: "It's the same if you eat at home, and it's cleaner, on this hot day, you always eat outside, and it's easy to have a stomach." ”

Cai Zhao nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

The maid listened to it, and hurried to prepare breakfast.

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, let's take advantage of the current situation to talk about the progress of the case." ”

Wang Yi: "I listened to your words yesterday, and immediately led people to the moat, and walked downstream for nearly two miles, but still did not find anything, and I also inquired about the people in the villages along the river, and also said that I did not see anything suspicious in the water. ”

Meng Tianchu: "What about the situation at the deceased's home?" ”

Wang Yi: "Coincidentally, do you know who the deceased's family is?" ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he said, "You mean I know?" ”

Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's the nurse's house that your son invited in the past." ”

Meng Tianchu was indeed stunned, and said, "The deceased is..."

Wang Yi: "The child of the elder brother of the late mother, this is the only son in their family, the son of the late mother died of illness before, so the family is very fond of this only incense seedling, who wants to..., alas, it is really an unforeseen situation, the old man in the family is sick, the child's mother is also down, and the family is in chaos." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't expect that it was still someone he knew, last time because of the late mother and He Ding's wife Yang Sanniang partnered to cheat the child, the late mother and Yang Sanniang were almost put in prison, and the late mother's family asked someone to intercede, and Meng Tianchu was also soft-hearted later

He just fined some money and put it back. I didn't expect that the big thing in the late mother's family seems to be a real blow.

Meng Tianchu: "Then how about you going to the late mother's house to investigate?" ”

Wang Yi: "It is said that there is no enemy, when I asked Wan Niang, Wan Niang actually said that she only offended you and Yang Sanniang, because she did not steal your child, and Yang Sanniang also lost her wife and soldiers, so probably only you and Yang Sanniang will hate her." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "It seems that I am also suspicious." ”

Wang Yi: "But the late mother also said." You are a kind person, no matter how angry you are, you will not attack a child, but Yang Sanniang is not necessarily. ”

Meng Tianchu then remembered Yang Sanniang and He Ding, so he said, "How is He Ding's case now?" ”

"It has been transferred to the Yamen of the Hangzhou Prefect. I heard that the situation is not optimistic, Yang Sanniang also washes her face with tears every day, I just saw her the day before, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, there is always a girl by my side, otherwise I probably won't be able to hold on. ”

Meng Tianchu: "The girl you are talking about is Liu'er?" ”

Wang Yi nodded: "It's the girl I saw at He Ding's house that day, she is quite clever." ”

Meng Tianchu thought about it, if there is a chance. I can still work hard for Heding, or this family will probably be completely finished.

Meng Tianchu: "Is there any other situation in the deceased's family?" Who brought the child on the day of the accident, and who served the child on weekdays? ”

Wang Yi: "Asked." That family is actually a solid family. And I think a big family is living in harmony. The child disappeared at dusk four days ago, and it was a personal maid next to the child who took him out to sell roses and plums. At that time, the maid probably only squatted on the ground to choose plums, did not pay attention to the children around her, and then the plums were selected, only to find that the child was gone, and heard the maid say, there were more people selling plums at that time, and the plum seller used a wheelbarrow to push to sell, because it was late, and it was sold cheaper, so there were more people who bought, and there were probably nearly ten people who were selecting, and then the maid squeezed out of the crowd and looked everywhere and did not find it, so he hurried home to report to his family. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "How far is the place of the accident from the child's house?" ”

Wang Yi: "It's less than 100 meters away from the moat, it's very close. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he said: "That child should not go to the moat alone, there are a lot of mosquitoes by the river at dusk, and the child is also six or seven years old, so it should be sensible, so it is most likely that someone will take the ground away, not the child walking the ground by himself." ”

"Master, Master Mu and they have already gotten up, and Steward Yan asked the slave maid to ask, when can I leave?" A maid stood under the gazebo and said respectfully.

Cai Zhao: "Tianchu, are you going out again today?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "It's out of the way." Then he looked at the maid and said, "You go and tell Steward Yan, let's have breakfast first, let's say that someone is coming from the yamen, we are talking about things, okay I'll go." ”

The maid looked a little embarrassed, and she didn't leave, Cai Zhao hurriedly said: "Either we go first, and we'll come back when you have time." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "There is no land. Then he glanced at the maid sternly, and the maid saw that Meng Tianchu was about to get angry, so she hurriedly walked away, and the two maids and the servants over there walked towards the pavilion with breakfast.

After the breakfast was set, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Let's talk while eating." ”

Cai Zhao: "Tianchu, this..."

Meng Tianchu naturally knew what Cai Zhao was going to say, so he said: "Eat it, this millet was sent by Jiayindi's sister Xue'er two days ago, it tastes good, try it." ”

The three of them were eating, when they saw a familiar voice behind them say, "Tianchu, you guys are going to eat." ”

Meng Tianchu looked back, his hair was about to stand up, he saw the emperor and Yan Song standing under the pavilion, both of them looked at him with a smile, Meng Tianchu quickly got up, only to see that the emperor quickly gave him a look, and Cai Zhao and Wang Yi on the side also stopped their chopsticks and stood up.

Meng Tianchu froze, and then said with a smile: "Mu... Mu Gongzi get up, you eat... Is it over? It just so happened that there was something going on in the Yamen, so it was..."

The emperor walked up to the pavilion with a smile, looked at the food on the table, and said, "Steward Yan and I haven't eaten yet, and we are about to go to the dining room to eat, you have almost eaten!" ”

Cai Zhao said to Meng Tianchu: "This is..."

Meng Tianchu remembered that he hadn't introduced it to the two parties, so he said: "This is Mu Gongzi, it's Jiayin..."

Meng Tianchu didn't think about it or say it, but he saw the emperor go straight to the stool and sit down, and said with a smile: "I am Jiayin's cousin, and this one next to me is my housekeeper, and you are the county magistrate of Renhe County?" ”

Cai Zhao saw that this person was gorgeously dressed, his aura was lofty, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, although he was a little fat, but he was not a layman, so he saluted and said: "It's right down there." ”

The emperor smiled slightly and said to Meng Tianchu, "Have you finished eating?" ”

Meng Tianchu saw the emperor's meaning, probably he had the heart to solve his breakfast in the pavilion, and then saw that the three of them had eaten almost enough, so he said: "It's over, it's over, but you better go to the dining room to eat, the sun is about to come out." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "After eating, take these down, I and Steward Yan will eat here, you say yours, I won't intervene, we will eat ours." ”

Wang Yi's mouth was fast: "How can that be?" We're talking about the case. ”

The emperor squinted at Wang Yi, and Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "It's not in the way, Mu Gongzi is just listening to curiosity." ”

Wang Yi was about to speak, Cai Zhao saw Meng Tianchu's attitude towards this Mu Gongzi, and casually didn't know what the origin of this Mu Gongzi was, but it seemed that the origin must be not small, so he also said: "What Tianchu said is, we are just talking, there is no big problem." ”
