Seeing this, Rong Yuxue hurriedly stepped forward to pull the Yang family, who knew that the Yang family would die like grasping grass, and cried sadly: "Meng Ye, I beg you, you catch me, if I hadn't eaten my old man on the first day, he would not have done that kind of embarrassing thing, you also saw it, he didn't even know that his leg was broken, he really didn't have a heart, you catch me, let me die." ”

He Ding didn't expect Yang to say such a thing, and all the previous grievances disappeared, after all, after decades of husband and wife, although Yang never gave birth to a child for himself after the first child he gave birth to was born, but the two of them have come over for so many years, and they take care of themselves coldly and hotly, but they still pretend to be their own without forgiveness.

Thinking of this, He Ding stepped forward and said to the Yang family: "What are you talking about, get up, Master Meng didn't say that he wanted to kill me, you embarrassed Master Meng like this." ”

After speaking, he pulled Yang up, and Yang didn't care about so many people around him, and hugged He Ding and cried.

Meng Tianchu motioned for Wang Yi to pull them away, and then said, "Okay, let's go." ”

He Ding took a deep look at the Yang family, after so many years of husband and wife, for the first time, he felt that the half-old in front of him who was crying with pear blossoms and rain was better than countless young and charming girls.

The group left the small courtyard one after another, and the Yang family chased them to the door, and Murong Yuxue comforted: "Don't follow, prepare some quilts and mattresses, although this weather is not needed outside, but after all, He Ding is old." The cell is cold and damp... Alas, here we go. ”

Yang thanked him with tears in his eyes, then nodded, and saw that their figures disappeared from sight, so he turned around and saw that Liu Er was also standing there with tears in his eyes, and his heart ached, and he said faintly while walking: "You will also go to the countryside." Now you Uncle Dihe don't know if he can come out alive. I'm not going to raise you. ”

As he spoke, he passed by Liu Er. Liu Er choked up and said: "Sanniang, I know you don't like me, Liu Er is not relying on not leaving, now that Uncle He has been arrested, you need someone to take care of him, as soon as he comes back, I will leave." It's true. ”

Yang's heart moved, no wonder He Ding likes this little girl so much, it seems that she is not only young, but also really delicate in her mind, and she listens to her words.

Yang didn't speak, entered the main room alone, and then closed the door.

Meng Tianchu brought He Ding back to Yamen, and Wu Zhe also took Bao'er and Chrysanthemum home.

After arriving at the yamen. Meng Tianchu asked He Ding, "What did the Yang family eat for you?" Makes you so trance-like? ”

He Ding smiled bitterly and waved his hand, where can such a thing be told to others.

Murong Zhenxue: "He Ding." Meng Ye wants to help you. ”

He Ding looked at Murong Zhenxue, this was the second time he had looked at this beautiful woman, but there was nothing else in his eyes, he saw Murong Zhenxue's solemn appearance, and then looked at Meng Tianchu, or shook his head.

"Don't ask me, I admit it, I'm already very sorry, I'm very annoyed, if I wasn't confused for a while, how could Miss Wu die at my hands, as a teacher, I am ashamed of the title of Mr., and if I die, I will probably be worthy of the Miss Wu family."

Meng Tianchu saw that He Ding had made up his mind, so he had to give up and let Wang Yi take He Ding to the cell.

Murong Zhenxue: "This case, Tianchu, how do you think it will be judged when you go to the Criminal Department?" ”

Meng Tianchu is still the first time to see such a case, listening to Wu Zhedi's meaning, He Ding is bound to die, He Ding himself is a talent, naturally knows a little about the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and looks at his meaning as if he is also dead, although He Ding did not say what Yang gave him, but his intuition told him that naturally it would not be a poisonous leaf, although he kept calling Yang a poisonous woman, then it should be something like Chun Bao, although Yang is already a half-aged in her forties, but after all, it is very well maintained, It looks like he is only in his early forties, as the so-called thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, Yang's age is when he is hungry and thirsty, and He Ding is as thin as firewood, so he should not be able to satisfy Yang, so Yang is probably a little ruthless, and he can't wait to hollow out He Ding at one time, which makes He Ding unable to parry for a while, resulting in a trance.

Murong Yuxue saw that Meng Tianchu didn't speak, so she said, "Tianchu, what are you thinking?" ”

Meng Tianchu came back to his senses, "Have you seen a similar case before?" ”

"I've heard of it, but it's not our Renhe County, nor Hangzhou Prefecture, but I heard my father talk about it before, saying that it was a case in the north, and it was similar, at that time, the place was 'hanging prison', and then I came to the Criminal Department, I heard that there was a lot of controversy, but in the end I killed it."

Meng Tianchu's mouth opened wide in surprise and said, "Killed? ”

Murong Yuxue snorted and nodded.

No wonder Wu Zhe is so confident, and He Ding has also made up his mind, but Meng Tianchu always feels that there is a reason for the incident, if he really kills him, then He Ding is not a little wronged.

Murong Zhenxue saw Meng Tianchu's appearance of gains and losses, and said, "Do you think that if He Ding was beheaded like the case I said before, would he be wronged?" ”

"How do you know?"

Murong Yuxue smiled playfully and said, "I don't know you yet!" ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Meng Tianchu lightly twisted Murong Yuxue's face and said, "Just your ghost elf!" ”

Murong Yuxue smiled coquettishly and said: "But I also think that He Ding's matter is still a little different from the previous case, He Ding is in poor health, and the Yang family also said that what she gave He Ding to eat, He Ding will be in a trance, in this case, you can't completely blame He Ding." Moreover, He Ding also said that at that time, he would only say hello because he knew Wu Zhedi's daughter, but he forgot that he was... It is when it is inconvenient. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Murong Zhenxue was the same as he thought, so he stood up, shook the robe attached to his body, and said, "Then I'll go to Dong Weng first, discuss with him, you go back first, and I'll come back later." "I'm leaving.

Murong Xue said: "I'll go home, if there's anything over there, I'll come back." ”

Only then did Meng Tianchu react. He smiled wickedly and said, "I thought my snow had already passed the door, okay,

Let's go back, I've been too busy at home lately, so I'll ask Feng Yi to take care of you and me

Murong Yuxue smiled shyly and said softly, "I know, nothing." Don't rush the big lady. She's been having a hard time lately. Wait a few days, don't let people think..."

Meng Tianchu walked back to Murong Zhenxue, and saw that her little face was already slightly red, so he teased her: "What do people think?" ”

"Go, go, I won't tell you, I'm gone, it's dark."

Meng Tianchu laughed. said: "Okay, don't tease you, let's go, I'll let Chai Meng send you, he'll wait outside." ”

"No need, I'll just go back by myself."

"Don't say it, he sent you first, didn't I want to find Dong Weng to talk about He Ding? That's it. He sent you back too. It's the same with picking me up again, go ahead. ”

Murong Yuxue nodded obediently, and then left.

Meng Tianchu turned around and entered the inner courtyard of the yamen. At this time, it was dark, and the weather began to cool down, and the official in the foyer of the inner courtyard saw that Meng Tianchu was coming, so he quickly got up from the chair and gave Meng Tianchu a blow.

"Master is here."

Meng Tianchu nodded with a smile and said, "Is the eldest master here?" ”

"If you go back to your master, you're here."

Meng Tianchu vaguely heard the sound of a silk bamboo piano, which was mixed with laughter and talking, and then looked not far away, it was also *** brilliant, it seemed that Cai Zhao was probably entertaining guests.

"Is there a guest in the eldest lord's house today?"

The official nodded with a smile and said, "It is said that it is a guest from Hangzhou Mansion, the little one has not seen it, and he does not dare to inquire, so the master will go in and talk." ”

As he was talking, Cai Zhaodi's housekeeper came over from afar, and when he saw someone talking to the local official at the door, he said loudly: "Who is talking at the door, isn't it an explanation?" Today, the lord will entertain distinguished guests, and will not receive anyone, so I will talk about it tomorrow. ”

The official hurriedly said, "It's Master Meng who is here." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, walked up to Meng Tianchu with a smile, bowed his hands, and said: "Look at me, I'm really useless, I didn't even see that it was Meng Ye, hurry, hurry, hurry, go in and talk." ”

Then the housekeeper pointed to the official and said, "You didn't hurry up and lead Meng Ye in, what else did you say?" ”

The official bowed his head and did not dare to reply.

Meng Tianchu said: "No wonder him, I just came, seeing that the hall seems to be very lively, I just asked the eldest master to talk about some official affairs of the yamen, I will come again tomorrow." ”

Butler: "Where, hurry, don't be tomorrow, you also know the guests, there is no need to be taboo." ”

Meng Tianchu: "I heard that it was from Hangzhou Mansion, who is it?" ”

"Zhejiang's right-hand political envoy, Lord Jian Qijian, and two other guests are waiting for the master to introduce you, let's go first."

Meng Tianchu thought for a while, and suddenly remembered, isn't this Jian Qi talking to himself for the first time in Ke Gan's mansion that day, and he must let himself sit with him? How could he, a right-handed political envoy, suddenly come to the Yamen of Renhe County, no wonder the housekeeper said that no one would see the lord.

The two of them walked while talking, crossed a small bridge, and bypassed a gazebo, this Cai Zhao's house was much smaller than Meng Tianchu's house, so they arrived quickly.

The hall was really full of lights, singing and dancing, Meng Tianchu took a rough look, there were no more than five or six people sitting on a huge round table, except for Cai Zhao, there was also Jian Qi, the political envoy of the right cloth, and the other three sat sideways and turned their backs to themselves, they couldn't see it really, some of the geisha who wore fancy clothes were probably invited from the famous Qinglou, and their appearance and figure were quite good, but they were dressed up a little more vulgar. There are three or two musicians sitting next to him, playing the guzheng and harp, and it seems that Cai Zhao will still have fun.

At this time, the housekeeper had already hurriedly walked up to Cai Zhao and whispered a few words, and then pointed to Meng Tianchu outside the door, at this time, everyone probably saw the housekeeper's gesture and looked at Meng Tianchu.

Cai Zhao hadn't stood up yet, but a young man with his back to Meng Tianchu had already laughed and stood up, walking to Meng Tianchu's side first.

Meng Tianchu saw that it was Xu Wei, the two of them had been separated for nearly a month, and they felt much more cordial when they saw each other today.

Xu Wei led Meng Tianchu to Jian Qi's side, Meng Tianchu hurriedly bowed his hand and humbly said to his lord, Jian Qi also did not have the slightest bit of a political envoy's shelf, smiled and let Meng Tianchu sit beside him, and the person on the side quickly moved his seat with interest.

Xu Wei: "I also said that the introduction, who would have thought that everyone knew each other, so it would be better." ”

Jian Qi smiled and patted Meng Tianchu's shoulder, and said, "I heard Master Ke Qianke say, you are really good, but today we are all men, so we won't talk about family affairs." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly nodded.

Cai Zhao said: "It's not strange that Tianchu has seen Lord Jian, when did you know our Jinyi Guard Commander Lord Xu?" ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he was very surprised, and quickly got up to give Xu Wei a look. Xu Wei smiled and motioned for Meng Tianchu to sit down, and then said to the people present: "Meng Tianchu is the younger brother below, we are the righteous knot Jinlan, the real worship brothers." ”

Where did Meng Tianchu dare to sit, this Jinyi Guard commander is a third-grade official, and this Jinyi Guard is also the head of a well-known spy agency, he used to be a master, although he started higher than himself, and was a military advisor to the governor, but now he is also a court officer with good character and duties, where people gently press their hands, they sit down as a matter of course, isn't it too bad to take this commander as a matter.

After Xu Wei introduced to everyone, seeing that Meng Tianchu was still standing, he immediately got up and walked to Meng Tianchu's side, pressed Meng Tianchu on the seat, and said in his ear: "I know what the little brother is thinking, so it is unnatural to be a brother." ”

Then walked to his place with a smile and sat down, Meng Tianchu smiled, but muttered in his heart, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the political envoy being in the main seat from the second-rank minister, but Cai Zhao, a seventh-grade petty official, is accompanying him, while Xu Wei seems to be sitting in the lower seat, Cai Zhao will not understand.

Meng Tianchu was thinking nonsense here, and everyone nodded when they heard Xu Wei's words.
