Chapter 200: Someone Stretches Out His Claws
It was Mei Xiaoba who was worried, obviously really worried that Mei Sheng would not be good for the lawsuit between the Gui and Mei families. The reason for the hesitation is that there are some concerns, not for Mei Qingshu and his wife, but because of Mei Ping and his wife. It's not that he doesn't complain in his heart, but it's just resentment, in the end, he is a grandson, and he can't do it without worry.
Gui Chongyang shook his head and said, "What are you thinking about?" You don't have to worry about this. Even if he misses, it's nothing. β
The tensor of the county order is Gui Chongyang's confidence in this lawsuit, not to mention that Mei Sheng is just a little showman, he is a lifter, and it is not his turn to go to the county government to point fingers.
It was Mei Sheng who moved out the county school to intercede, and the county order from a poor family might give Gu Nian a few points, but Zhang Liang's family is a royal family, and he is full of confidence, and his actions are naturally less restrained.
The lawsuit between the Gui and Mei families was originally the Gui family's move to "kill chickens and monkeys", and one Mei Sheng was not enough to change the situation.
Gui Chongyang said with full confidence, and Mei Xiaoba was naturally convinced.
However, the primary school students sitting in front and back heard this sentence and were a little puzzled by Gui Chongyang.
People in the world say that "harmony is precious", but Gui Chongyang doesn't know how to take a step back? What's the use of Gui Wu making more money in the town? If the people don't fight with the officials, the Gui family is not afraid of Mei Sheng's revenge as an official? Isn't this a disaster?

At the door of the village school, Mei Sheng looked at Mei Chen, and there was a little more curiosity in his eyes: "Change the charge to punish Uncle Shu and Aunt Shu?" How did you come up with this? β
Mei Chen touched the back of his head and said, "They are at fault, and they should be punished, but if they carry the name of the thief, it will inevitably affect the female relatives of the clan, isn't it just right to change the charge?" β
Mei Sheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, the Gui family is the plaintiff, and the current charges are substantiated, so it's easy for them to worry and get angry, I'm afraid it will not change easily!" β
Mei Chen said with a little hope in his eyes: "Fourth brother, I have been classmates with Gui Chongyang for three months, he is not a difficult person to talk to, besides, Aunt Shun and Sister Duo'er are also daughters of the Mei family, if Haosheng begs him, he will respond." β
Mei Sheng looked at the little brother, but he liked his childlike nature, although this idea was a little naΓ―ve and inadequate, but in the end, his heart was good, but he was more sincere than his grandfather.
But he found the wrong person.
is also an orphan, Gui Chongyang hates Du Lizheng the most, holding the idea of "clearing his father's wrongs", and also wants to reveal the truth of the year as soon as possible, so that the "murderer behind the scenes" can get the retribution he deserves; When I arrived at Mei Sheng, as I got older, I investigated the clues of the year, and the one I hated the most was not Du Lizheng, but Mei Xiucai, who was also suspected of "stealing money".
For other people surnamed Mei, Mei Sheng has no intention of being close.
Everyone has a pair of snobbish eyes and a rich heart, in the early years, he was bullied by his uncle and aunt, and the clansmen only saw it; Waiting for his "little three yuan", one by one to get close, he is not a fool, how can this kind of "affection" be rare?
In Mei Sheng's view, the Mei family is mostly a shameless person like his grandfather and uncle, which will make the injustices in the clan one by one.
Mei Sheng wished that the Mei family was unlucky, how could he really help Mei Chen come up with ideas?
But Mei Chen looked at it, Mei Sheng didn't refuse, and muttered for a moment: "I don't want Uncle Shu's lawsuit to affect the clan, it's not that there is no other way......
Mei Chen hurriedly asked, "What method?" β
"Let Uncle Ping come forward to sue Uncle Shu for 'unfilial piety', when Uncle Shu is punished, the Gui family is angry, and Uncle Ping will withdraw the lawsuit again!" Mei Sheng said.
The father sues the son for "unfilial piety", and naturally he will sue one by one.
Mei Chen couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "But ...... But 'unfilial piety' is a heinous crime?! β
Even if he hasn't studied "Da Ming Law", Mei Chen has heard the lyrics of the play, and knows that this crime is not a joke.
Mei Sheng said: "But only in this way can we cover up the previous 'theft', and also make the Gui family willingly withdraw the case...... As long as Uncle Ping withdraws the case in the end, the county magistrate will not be embarrassed, this kind of rebellious case is not good on the face of the local officials, and no one wants to really become a real case. β
Mei Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a class in the afternoon, he couldn't wait to go home to find his uncle and grandfather immediately.
Mei Chen thanked him solemnly, and Mei Sheng said: "This is just a strategy, the safest way is to open an ancestral hall and divide it into two places, so naturally you don't have to worry about which one will be involved." β
Mei Chen nodded and said, "That's it, after a few years, Uncle Lobby will be able to change it, and then he will be allowed to return to the sect." β
With the example of Gui Wu, Mei Chen's "removal of the clan" is not a big deal, but there is also "returning to the clan".
Mei Sheng looked at the sky, did not delay any longer, and persuaded Mei Chen to read two words, and then went back to the town. Now that his good second uncle has become addicted to drugs and has become a waste, although Mei Sheng is gloating, he is also depressed.
Before it is his turn to strike, the enemy is unlucky, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Thinking about this, a gust of wind blew, Mei Sheng shivered, tightened his old clothes, and quickened his pace. He didn't know that Mei Xiucai had lost all his belongings and began to sell his nephew.

West Market Town, Barilla, private room on the second floor.
Mei Xiucai's face was sallow, with a bit of flattery on her face, and she said while pouring wine: "Why did Brother Jin come back?" Brother, I want to die of Brother Jin! β
has always been holding a shelf, but now it is not a stand, and he is hot and hot.
Lao Jin raised his eyebrows, showing a little smugness: "It's not the Hou Ye's side, I don't worry about the marriage of the eldest lady of the Liang family, let me ask several times in the past, to be honest, I won't look for it in Sanhe, and directly ask Mrs. to take Miss Liang into Beijing to be married!" β
When Mei Xiucai heard this, she couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "Since Liang Yiren and Liang Xianggong are both in Sanhe, this Miss Liang is naturally cheap to marry nearby!" β
Lao Jin shook his head and said: "But Sanhe County is too small, and the local gentry are decent in the Zhong family, but there are many houses, and the children of the same age have limited income." β
"And our brother Sheng'er, the thirteen-year-old 'little Sanyuan', not to mention Sanhe County, even Tongzhou is also a young man who can be counted!" Mei Xiucai heard that things had changed, and she couldn't help but be anxious.
Lao Jin didn't hold it, and said directly: "But isn't Mei Xiaoxianggong engaged?" Mei Xianggong values faithfulness and righteousness, and our Hou Ye does not want to be suspected of snatching his son-in-law...... Now it is no better than before, the high-ranking families acted wantonly, the emperor moved the capital to Beijing, and the six Jiuqing Yushi Taike also followed! β
Mei Xiucai hurriedly said: "The previous ones are not counted, but Du Zhong has a bad heart and fools my old man...... I didn't agree, in the end, the seniority doesn't match, this family business can't be successful, it's a joke. β
Lao Jin hesitated: "But don't you scholars value faith and righteousness the most?" This repentant marriage is not a good reputation, can Mei Xiaoxianggong be willing? β
Mei Xiucai waved his hand and said: "It's just a farce, it's just being said by someone, what's the point?" Even if there is no eldest lady of the Liang family, my nephew will not really marry my aunt obediently, otherwise he would not have gotten the engagement letter and would not go back. β
Lao Jin did enter Beijing a few days ago, and after waiting for half a month, he finally met the main man once, and praised Mei Sheng, a good candidate for his son-in-law.
The Hou Mansion also sent someone to come over to inquire, and knew that Mei Sheng was indeed a veritable young talent, and he was also very satisfied.
There is a gambling addiction, and Lao Jin is not worried that Mei Xiucai will not nod here.
As for Mei Sheng, no matter how talented he is, he is only a fourteen-year-old child, and it is not his turn to make his own decisions about marriage.
When Lao Jin's task was half completed, he remembered the Du family's land and the Gui family's shop, and said to Mei Xiucai: "Last time I talked about buying land, Mei Xianggong didn't forget it, after this matter is done, Hou Ye will also think of your favor." β
Mei Xiucai frowned and said: "Hey, I thought about finding an opportunity to persuade my father-in-law, but who would have thought that the Gui family would snatch up six hectares, and my father-in-law's side would not sell the land for a while!" β
When Lao Jin heard this, he couldn't help but darken his face: "The Gui family? Which Gui family? β
