PS: Roll all over the ground and double the monthly pass scheduled for the end of the month!
"You, who are you, how did you trespass on people's houses?" The old family hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to stop Meng Yan and Zhang Chong.
"Jinyiwei handles the case!"
"Jin Yiwei!" The old family was startled, the name of this, the shadow of the tree, the brocade guard in the capital no one knows, no one knows, this is stained, it is fatal.
"You can't go in, there's no one you're looking for?"
"How does the old man know that we are looking for someone?" Meng Yan smiled, "It's about the lives of your grandfather and young lady, it's best not to stop it, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite." ”
"You're welcome?" The old family courtyard had a desperate posture and stopped in front of Meng Yan to prevent him from moving forward.
"Kuizi, please come to the living room to serve tea!" At this moment, an old voice came from the house.
"Master, they are Jinyi Wei, the ...... who came to find the young lady"
"Go, I won't listen to me?" The old man's voice seemed to sound a little anxious and angry.
"Yes!"
In the living room, the old courtyard called Kuizi brought tea to Meng Yan and Zhang Chong, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
"The family was rude, which made the two adults laugh!" The old man with gray hair and simple clothes walked in with the support of a middle-aged maid and greeted Meng Yan with a smile.
"This must be Old Lady Chen?"
"Don't dare to be, the old man is old, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and he can't salute the adults of Jinyiwei!"
"The elders are great, and the official doesn't care about those false courtesies!" Meng Yan Road.
"Unknown Brocade Guard's chief?"
"The official's surname is Meng, and the acting Qianhu Meng Yan of the Jinyi Wei Patrol Department is the official, and this Zhang Chong is the official's subordinate." Meng Yan introduced himself.
"My lord, but he avenged his friend and broke into the north in anger. Later, there was Meng Yan and Meng Qingtian, who presided over the trial of Bai Suxin's adultery and murder case, washed away the grievances, and was the real murderer! Old Lady Chen was taken aback.
"Don't dare, the official just did what he had to do." Meng Yan smiled humbly.
The old family looked at Meng Yan in surprise, and the hostility in his eyes seemed to have subsided a lot.
"Lord Meng is coming to the cold house, I don't know what happened?"
"Old lady Chen. Let's make it clear, this official is here today to make a daughter. Meng Yan went straight to the point.
"The old man's girl, what's the matter, what did she do?" Old Lady Chen had a completely unaware expression.
"Old lady Chen, your son-in-law is the inspector of Datong to supervise the imperial history Tang Qin, right?"
"Yes, my unsuccessful son-in-law is indeed an official in Datong, and Lord Meng asked him what he was doing?"
"Don't you know, old lady, that your son-in-law smuggles and betrays the enemy. has been arrested by order of the imperial court, and will be escorted to Beijing for trial in the near future! ”
"What, Tang Wei smuggled and collaborated with the enemy, this is impossible, impossible!"
"Old lady, believe it or not, but for now it's a fact. Tang Wei's wife, that is, Ling Qianjin, returned to the capital with her son. It stands to reason that she, a woman, should not be involved in such a thing, but in the light of your son-in-law's great sin, we have to take the necessary measures against it, so. You'd better let your daughter come out and go with the officer. Meng Yan said slowly.
"Master Meng, you are mistaken, even if my girl comes back, she will go back to her own house first. Why did you come here to the old man? Old lady Chen was shocked, and subconsciously lied.
"My subordinates have been following Ling Qianjin all the way, she is now in your house, old lady, you better let the official take her away." Meng Yan persuaded with good words.
"Master Meng, the little girl is really not in the mansion, your subordinates must have seen it wrong!"
"Old lady, the little one is not mistaken, Ling Qianjin separated from a woman named Qiu Niang in Li Zhuang outside the city, and entrusted the little prince to her, and then disguised herself as an old woman who entered the city from Chongwen Gate, and after entering the city, she came directly to beat you, and now she is in your mansion." Zhang Chong said loudly.
Old Lady Chen suddenly seemed to have extracted her spirit.
"Old lady, we have no malicious intentions, if we want to take measures against Ling Qianjin, we will not let her come back to see you two." Meng Yan asked, "Can Ling Qianjin be in the old lady's room?" ”
"Master Meng, the old man begs you, don't take the little girl, and the old man's son-in-law was also wronged." Old Lady Chen knelt down and said.
"Old lady, what are you doing here, quick, Zhang Chong, help people up." Meng Yan hurriedly got up and went over to help him.
Without waiting for Zhang Chong to step forward, a shadow rushed in, hugged the old lady Chen who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted affectionately: "Dad!" ”
"Ying'er, why did you come out?" Old lady Chen looked at people and said in surprise.
"Mrs. Tang, are we meeting again?"
"It's you!" Seeing Meng Yan, Mrs. Tang (Miss Chen, who used to be called by her own surname, but in fact, she should be called by her husband's surname, but now she has corrected it) was also surprised.
Because, Meng Yan is the lifesaver of her and her child, if it weren't for him, she and her child might have fallen into the hands of the pursuers.
Zhang Chong, Mrs. Tang has also seen it, her face was slightly embarrassed in an instant, she secretly ran out of that place, the bad people treated her well, there was no shortage of food and drink, and she also helped her find a doctor to heal the child.
And people didn't want to do anything to her, all of them were just her malicious speculations about "Jinyiwei".
Thinking of this, she felt a trace of guilt and unease.
Anyway, she didn't say goodbye, and she also instigated Qiu Niang to run out with her, which was a bit ungrateful.
"Ying'er, don't be rude, this is Lord Meng of the Thousand Households of the Jinyi Guard Inspector Division!" Old lady Chen hurriedly scolded.
"Are you Jinyi Wei Qianhu?" Mrs. Tang was stunned, she didn't expect Meng Yan, the life-saving benefactor, to have such an identity.
"Yes, I didn't say it to Mrs. Tang before, because I was afraid of scaring Mrs. Tang!" Meng Yan nodded.
"Why are you Jinyiwei?"
"Is there anything wrong with Jinyiwei?" Meng Yan said strangely.
"Ying'er, Master Meng is different from other Jinyiwei, he is a good official." Old Lady Chen said busily.
"Dad, it was this Lord Meng who saved me, otherwise Bao'er and I would have been arrested by those people a long time ago." Mrs. Tang said.
"It turns out that Master Meng is still the little girl's life-saving benefactor!" Old lady Chen was taken aback.
"It's a little thing, anybody touches it. will give a helping hand, the old lady doesn't have to worry, not to mention that this official also has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people. Meng Yan said lightly.
"Master Meng, if you can avenge Bai Suxin and move to Cao Jixiang's father and son, you will definitely be able to save my daughter and my hard-working son-in-law!"
"Old lady. You get up first, get up and talk, okay? Meng Yan really couldn't bear to let such an old man over the age of sixteen kneel on the cold ground, which would make him lose his life.
"Dad, it's cold on the ground, you should get up first." Mrs. Tang also pleaded softly.
"Master Meng, the old man begs you!" Old lady Chen pushed her daughter away, and with a bang, her head hit the floor tiles. Really kowtow to him.
"Old lady, you can't help it!" Meng Yan was startled, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Old Lady Chen's leaning shoulders to prevent him from continuing to knock.
Under the persuasion of Meng Yan and Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Chen got up from the ground, and the eyes of the father and daughter were red.
"Master Tang's case, the official can't intervene for a while. However, the task of arresting Mrs. Tang's mother and son. But the court handed it over to the official. Meng Yan said.
"What?" When the father and daughter heard this, their faces turned pale.
"And the murderers who killed the eight dart masters, the old housekeeper and the two maids of the Fuwei Dart Bureau who escorted Mrs. Tang back to Beijing were also released by order of the imperial court because of Master Tang's smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, and the Fuwei Dart Bureau was also designated as a rebel and confiscated."
"How so. How so? Mrs. Tang inquired, and her face turned pale.
"Master Meng, are you here to arrest Ying'er?"
"Yes and no. I can't say this sentence clearly, and the most important thing now is that Mrs. Tang hurriedly left with the official, because the people from Dongchang may soon find here. Meng Yan explained.
"East Factory?"
"Yes, the person who intercepted and killed Mrs. Tang is the fan of Dongchang, but they are the subordinates of Guo Jing, the prison army guarding Datong."
"Ying'er, what should I do, you should hurry up and go with Master Meng." Old Lady Chen said hurriedly.
"Dad, I'm leaving, what should you do with the second elder?"
"Don't worry, Dongchang is now acting more scrupulously than before, although the old lady is Lord Tang's father-in-law, this case has not been finally convicted, you and the old woman will be fine, and, no matter who asks, whether Mrs. Tang has come back or not, you and everyone in this mansion have to be sure whether they have not, understand?"
"Understood, Master Meng!"
"Master Meng, I want to say goodbye to my mother!" Before leaving, Mrs. Tang said.
"Okay, it can't be too long."
About a tea time later, Mrs. Tang came out of the old lady's room with red eyes.
"Master Meng, let's go."
"The official knows that Mrs. Tang has a lot of questions in her heart, but this is not the place to speak, and when you get to the place, the official will explain to you in detail." Meng Yan said, "Also, Mrs. Tang doesn't have to worry, Ling Lang is safe, he will come to reunite with you soon." ”
"Thank you, Lord Meng." Only then did Mrs. Tang make up her mind and leave with Meng Yan.
Secretly return to the Yamen of the Inspectorate from the tunnel.
"Nothing, right?"
"No, that Xining slept like a dead pig, and he hasn't woken up yet!" Guo Xiaochao smiled.
"What about Liang Song and the others?"
"It's noisy, I fixed it hard, and it's quiet now."
"That's good, you go to Baohui and call me."
"Yes!"
"My lord, are you looking for me?"
"What about the dossier I asked you to prepare?"
"My lord, it's been ready for a long time, and you want it now?" Bao Hui was a little surprised, but she has always done a good job in the things Meng Yan explained, and now she has a high salary in the Patrol Division, and her work is easy, much better than in Dali Temple, and she doesn't have to be angry.
"Come in!"
"Baohui, this female prisoner's name is Qiu Niang, you take her to familiarize herself with it first, let her memorize the contents of the dossier, detain her alone, and treat her as an ordinary female prisoner."
"My lord, what are you ......" Bao Hui looked at "Qiu Niang" and didn't quite understand why Meng Yan did this.
"Whatever you want, you do it, don't ask too much, anyone asks, you know how to say it, right?"
"Baohui understands, don't worry." Bao Hui was overjoyed in her heart, Meng Yan asked her to do such a confidential thing, and it was obvious that she was already a confidant.
"Go ahead, just treat it normally!" Meng Yan waved his hand.
"My lord, your trick is too clever, you changed Mrs. Tang's identity and became another person, and you hid her in the yamen of the inspection department, I'm afraid that the people in Dongchang can't even think of it!" Guo Xiaochao witnessed the plan formulated by Meng Yan with his own eyes, and he was amazed, this move is simply incredible, I am afraid that only the bold Meng Yan would dare to do this.
