Wu Xian only felt inexplicable, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Ye Zhi who grabbed the person, he neither squeaked nor resisted, and followed Ye Zhi to the side of the rockery.

"What's wrong, Brother Ye?"

Ye Zhi raised the corners of his lips, "It's nothing, I specially came to thank Brother Wu for speaking for me just now." ”

Wu Xian smiled indifferently, "Why should Brother Ye be more polite to me, Lord Guogong has a group of old ministers under his hands, only you and I are of the same age, we should take care of each other, I don't help you, who are you helping?" ”

"Respond?" Ye Zhi paced a few steps forward and said, "Then I have to thank Brother Wu for his attention and concern for me for many days?" ”

"What do you mean by Brother Ye?"

"Thank you for mentioning my friendship with Mei Fu Yin many times in front of my father-in-law, so that my father-in-law feels that I have a great friendship with Mei Fu Yin so far."

"Brother Ye misunderstood, how could I say these things to Lord Guogong that I shouldn't say, isn't this sowing discord?" Wu Xian smiled, and then said, "Besides, Lord Guogong is the most unacceptable in the nest, if I say this to the adults in order to please the adults, I am afraid that it will backfire." ”

"It's true that you want to please your father-in-law, but you don't want to put your hopes on chewing your tongue, what you want is to get rid of his henchmen for his old man." Ye Zhi put his hands behind his back and looked back at Wu Xian, "Is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

"This ......" The smile on Wu Xian's face did not decrease, but he shook his head, "I don't understand which henchman Brother Ye is referring to, let alone get rid of it." ”

"Do you really think that he didn't tell anyone about you? Don't forget, the reason why he took refuge with his father-in-law was to repay my Ye family's great kindness! Ye Zhi's words were slow and clear.

Wu Xian smiled again, frowned slightly, and pretended to be puzzled: "What is Brother Ye talking about, why do I get more confused the more I listen?" ”

Ye Zhi turned around and looked directly at Wu Xian, "My father-in-law regards Meifu Yin as a stumbling block, if you get rid of him for your father-in-law, it will be a great achievement, so that you can be impressed by your father-in-law, squeeze me away, and then marry Ji Nanrou." ”

Wu Xian smiled, and his expression became serious, "With all due respect, Brother Ye's speculation is really ridiculous. ”

"Ridiculous? Then you wait and see, when General Gao confesses to you in front of Gu Xiang, will Gu Xiang think his confession is ridiculous. Ye Zhi said again, "In addition, my father-in-law asked me to check the people behind the scenes, and I still need to check?" All you need to do is bring you to your father-in-law, and when you admit it, or not, your father-in-law will believe it. ”

Wu Xian's expression became more and more stiff, and he fell silent.

Ye Zhi slowly approached him, stared at him and said, "I asked you to come here to talk, I want to leave you a way to live, you make up a story with me, and I will take you to the main hall or the Prime Minister's Mansion now!" ”

Wu Xian chuckled, puzzled: "Why did the young general leave me alive?" ”

"Because I don't want to marry Ji Nanrou, and I don't plan to monopolize my father-in-law's weight, you and I shouldn't be enemies."

Wu Xian still shook his head, with a little helplessness in his eyes, and said: "Since ancient times, marriage has relied on the order of your parents, you don't want to, but Lord Guogong has the intention." ”

"As long as you do what I say in the future, I will not only save your life, but also help you and let you get a beauty."

"Is that true?" Wu Xian will be skeptical

"What do you have to choose now? Even if I lie to you, and you have no other way but to believe, you will surely die. ”

Wu Xian stood silently for a while, as if he was considering, and then slowly waved his hand and made a big salute, "In the future, it will all depend on the young general, I don't know what the young general wants to do?" ”

"For the time being, just keep your mouth shut, and if you dare to calculate against him again, I will be the first to kill you!" Ye Zhi's tone became heavier.

Wu Xian tugged at the corners of his lips, maintained a posture of arching his hands, and sighed: "It turns out that the young general is really thinking about the old love, but even if he is humiliated, the lord of the country will think of another idea to not only save him, but also hope that the young general will pay more attention." ”

Ye Zhi was silent, because of Wu Xian's provocation, his father-in-law did not trust him as much as before, even if he would not discuss matters behind his back, he would not confide in him half a sentence about dealing with adults.

It was not easy for him to be careful with his own eyes and ears, so he knew very well what he should do now.

Upper Beijing Prefectural Office.

The first thing Mei Xiaoren did when he came to the yamen was to gather his subordinates, but only to summon the criminal officials in charge of the case.

Her rule here is that no matter what the case is, they are not allowed to disclose half of the facts of the case to the outside world without her permission. It's too late to manipulate the news.

After Mei Xiaoren gave the order, all the officials in the hall were all shocked, "What do you mean, announcing to the outside world that people are not dead?" ”

Some officials were worried: "My lord, last night's incident was a big incident, and everyone knows that there was a murder in the east of the city. ”

"Who said that the official wants to fool the people?" Mei Xiaoren picked up the teacup and split the foam, and said, "Let's just say that the person was rescued after being carried back to the yamen, and he is still unconscious, and he still needs to stay in the yamen to recuperate." ”

"Yes."

Mei Xiaoren looked at the tea in the cup, and said: "Since you want to act, you have to act like some, these days we will send more people to guard the yamen, and the guards and patrols will be doubled. ”

"Humble duty understands."

The official said outside the door: "My lord, the scholar is here." ”

"Please." Mei Xiaoren got up and instructed her subordinates to do as she said.

After the officials left, the Wei scholar came in from outside, and even if the weather was not hot, he still folded the fan in his hand, but there was no smile on his face.

"Brother Mei, what are you looking for me?" Wei Shuying asked when he came in.

"It's not a big deal, I just hope that the university scholars can come to the yamen more in the near future."

Wei Shuying sat next to the hall and was puzzled: "Come and move around more, why?" ”

"Naturally, it's for ghost hunting."

"Is the case eyebrow-raising?" Wei Shuying asked, "Is it Ji Heng's ghost?" ”

"It has nothing to do with Wei Guogong, but it has something to do with it, but he is not the mastermind, but the mastermind is for him."

"Wait a minute." Wei Shuying raised her hand to interrupt her words, and knocked her head with a folding fan, "You stunned me, does it have anything to do with him or not?" ”

"When the case comes out, the adults will know." Mei Xiaoren personally brought the tea and put it to Wei Shuying's hand, "So I hope that the scholar can do what I say, as if Xiuyu is not dead and is recuperating in the yamen, and the scholar can't rest assured, so he often comes to visit." ”

"Okay." Wei Shuying unfolded the folding fan and shook it, and couldn't help sighing, "You and Xiao Yu'er are really a natural pair, either they are too direct, or they can sell the guanzi to make people die in a hurry!" That's it, as long as I can dig out that person, what do I need to do, just say it. ”

Mei Xiaoren also said: "Five days later, a university scholar will be needed to come to the yamen to pick up people." ”

"Pick up someone, pick up whom?"

"Naturally, I took 'Xiuyu' back to the other garden to recuperate."

Wei Shuying looked cautiously outside, and asked her with a folding fan to block half of her face: "Do you want to trick him out?" ”

"Giving back to others is called justice."
