Chapter 2: Having a Wife and a Family (7)

"Shut up!" Zhao Xiu said angrily: "Mama Wang, you dare to take my words just because you are the princess's nurse?" Mama Wang trembled and immediately knelt on the ground. With both hands pressed on the ground and heads pressed tightly against the backs of their hands, the individual was so frightened that he lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Zhao Xiu's words were like a life-threatening talisman, which scared everyone's legs weak. Mama Wang's hair is already half white, her entire face is almost on the ground, and her white hair is scattered in the mud and sand on the ground, which is very embarrassing.

Zhao Xiu didn't care about her at all, and then said: "People who don't know how to do it are like ants climbing on my shoes, relying on their own ability and power, they dare to go wild to their masters." A person like this will definitely be like this ant, and he will be crushed by someone who is lightly stepped on! Mama Peng, you're right? ”

Mama Peng: "Pounce!" He knelt on the ground with a thud, and slammed his head directly on the stone bricks, making a crisp sound. She would rather knock her head on the blood than speak.

Zhao Xiu didn't dare to make a sound when she saw Mama Peng kneeling on the ground, only sneered. "Mama Chen, what do you say?"

Mama Chen seemed to know that Zhao Xiu would ask her, she made faster movements than Mama Peng, knelt on the ground, and slammed her head on the ground louder than anyone else.

Zhao Xiu sneered: "If you don't say it, let this maid talk about it, I don't think the whole thing is clearer than the four of you." ”

Meng Xin lowered his head, patted the slightly older maid with his left hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "You say it first!" Be concise and useful! ”

Meng Xin slapped the maid twice in total, and it was just a random shot, but the maid with a blue face, thinking about the deer who had been frightened, kept trembling.

The older maid didn't know if she was trembling or nodding, but her head kept rocking up and down. She also began to say: "It's Mama Peng, it's Mama Peng." ”

Meng Xin put his hand on the maid's shoulder and asked loudly, "Next, what did Mama Peng tell you to do?" ”

The maid felt a large hand on her shoulder, and hurried to dodge in fright. But Meng Xin grabbed his shoulder, and the huge force made the maid feel like her shoulder was about to break.

"Ahhh The other five principals also closed their eyes, not daring to look at the tragic situation.

Meng Xin's face was impatient, and he couldn't wait to eat the maid who was kneeling on the ground and yelling.

Zhao Xiu still looked at the maid with scattered hair, blue face, and tears on her face. "Meng Xin, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, this girl didn't provoke you just now, why did you make others cry?"

Meng Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Xiu helplessly.

Zhao Xiu smiled and said: "In this way, since the girl can't speak, then you can tell these grandmothers what the two maids said just now." ”

Meng Xin looked at the five principals in the yard with a staring eye at the prey, it is believed that none of these five people looked up, Meng Xin wanted to scare them, but he didn't expect that no one would pay attention to them at all. He had no choice but to start talking.

"Mama Peng, your maid said that you asked her to do something on the charcoal fire in the middle courtyard. Ten baskets of charcoal fire are a total of 500 catties, and you forced her to lose nearly 50 catties. Did she say what? ”

Mama Peng, who was kneeling on the ground, already felt that she couldn't breathe, and when she heard Meng Xin ask her, she hurriedly begged for mercy: "The old slave knows the mistake, the old slave knows the mistake." I also hope that the prince will think that the old slave has been working in the palace for many years and is doing his best, so he will bypass the old slave this time. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "It's not over yet, what's the hurry?" Well? Zhao Xiu looked at Meng Xin and motioned for him to continue.

Meng Xin sneered: "Mama Chen, your maid said that when you go back, you will feel that this charcoal fire is less." She ran back to you and asked, you told her to get it back no matter how much, didn't you? ”

Mama Chen lowered her head and said, "Yes, the old slave can't get out of the body if she has something, so let her take the charcoal back first." But I didn't expect to find that the charcoal fire was so much less after I got it back, a hundred and fifty catties less! ”

"Yo!" Zhao Xiu shouted, "One hundred and fifty pounds missing?" ”

Mama Chen replied: "Yes, one hundred and fifty catties are missing." ”

Zhao Xiu's face was full of surprise, in Meng Xin's eyes, it was indeed so exaggerated. "Oops, why doesn't this number match? Mama Peng's maid said that it was fifty catties, but how did it become one hundred and fifty catties? ”

Mama Peng hurriedly said: "It's fifty catties, the charcoal fire in the palace is registered in the case, the old slave is confused, and he has allocated less charcoal to the middle court, but he doesn't look down on the people in the middle court." wants to give them a hard time to eat, and the extra 100 catties must have been lied to them. ”

Mama Peng seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and said vigorously. Mama Chen also shouted loudly: "The prince is one hundred and fifty pounds less, and the people in our yard can see it really." ”

Zhao Xiu turned his head and asked Meng Xindao, "Did that person bring it?" ”

Meng Xin replied: "I brought it, just outside the hospital." ”

Zhao Xiu said: "Bring him in." ”

Meng Xin nodded and walked behind Mama Peng under the gaze of everyone. Except for Zhao Xiu, none of the people used understood why Meng Xin stood behind Mama Peng. Mama Peng herself felt the cold aura behind her.

Meng Xin shouted outside the courtyard, "Bring people in." As soon as he finished speaking, another man was dragged up from behind the archway, but this man was a little different, he wore a black cloth bag on his head, so that he could not see the people in the courtyard clearly. He was dressed in a dark blue coarse cloth shirt, and his body still smelled of it, and he looked as if he had just been dragged up from the pit.

One of the two big men in the eastern courtyard took one of his arms and dragged him up. As soon as he was dragged up, he said weakly: "Meng, Mr. Meng, I will tell you anything you want to ask, and I will never say anything wrong." ”

Meng Xin stood behind Mama Peng and said kindly: "Old Yuan, don't worry, after my master asks, you can take fifty taels of silver, and I will definitely not treat you badly." As for the black cloth on this head, please forgive me, after all, it is in the palace house, and it is very inconvenient to have many female dependents, so you still don't think it's wonderful. ”

The old Yuan, who was hooded, seemed to be a little scared, and said weakly: "Manager Meng said yes, the villain understands, the villain understands." You can ask. ”

Zhao Xiu also learned from Meng Xin's harmless voice of humans and animals, and said with a smile: "Old Yuan, you are responsible for transporting the swill in this palace and some of the usual pickles, right?" ”
