Upper Beijing Prefectural Office.

This was the first time that Mei Xiaoren returned to the yamen after leaving office, and went to prison accompanied by Yao Fuyin. I heard Yao Fu Yin say that Chu Zifeng made a big fuss outside the yamen this morning, which attracted many people to stop and watch, so a commoner's complaint against the prime minister of the dynasty for stealing his wife has spread throughout Shangjing.

Mei Xiaoren didn't hear rumors on the way to Yamen, because Liuyue and they were quite effective in quelling similar rumors, and they would never let the foolish people chew the root of the tongue of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liuyue said that Chu Zifeng was instigated by others, and with her understanding of Chu Zifeng, she also agreed with this statement, and Chu Zifeng was able to live peacefully to this day, most likely because of the blessing of that person.

Chu Zifeng was looking for Chu Yu's stubble, which was regarded as a felony by the Shangjing Prefecture and imprisoned in the innermost part of the prison, a place where even flies could hardly get in and out.

Yao Fuyin asked: "Madam, where did that kid come from, he dared to ask for trouble with Xiangye, do you want to deal with it on your behalf?" ”

Mei Xiaoren had already seen the person locked in the cell in front of him, and stopped and said, "It's easy to kill him, but this person has other uses, let me ask him first, and you can step back for the time being." ”

"Yes."

Yao Fuyin and a few subordinates stopped here and retreated to wait outside the cell.

Mei Xiaoren moved over, her steps slow, the cell was stuffy, and she shook her fan as she walked.

Chu Zifeng is now like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he can still lie on the bed board and sleep soundly in prison.

When Mei Xiaoren walked outside the cell, he turned the fan upside down and knocked the wooden fence with the handle of the fan.

The sound woke up Chu Da Gangster, he sat up suddenly, and when he saw her, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he shouted with a grin: "Xiao Mei'er! ”

The corners of Mei Xiaoren's lips raised, "Chu Zifeng, your life is really big enough." ”

Chu Zifeng ran to the edge of the wooden fence, held the railing with both hands and said with a smile: "That's not it, you saved this life, I have to protect it, and I can marry you with my life." ”

"How much blood debt have you carried, don't count it? I don't know how to find a place to hide, and you dare to find the yamen, are you tired of escaping or tired of living? ”

Chu Zifeng smacked his lips: "Eh, how can I be tired of living, with my eldest brother here, who of these officials dares to take my life." ”

"Your big brother?" Mei Xiaoren frowned.

"Chu Yu, isn't he the prime minister, he doesn't mean enough to say it, being such a big official not only doesn't help the clan, but also robs my daughter-in-law!" Chu Zifeng picked up his hand, pretending to be helpless and sighed, "I can't be angry before I come to beat the drum and voice my grievances." ”

"I have nothing to do with you, you keep your mouth shut, this is the capital, and you have to lose your head if you talk nonsense."

Chu Zifeng looked indifferent, "Xiao Mei'er, he sent someone to chase me all the way, how many times have I escaped death, anyway, he won't let me go when I go out, I can't control it." He looked at her with a smile, "What's more, you were originally my daughter-in-law." ”

When Mei Xiaoren saw Chu Zifeng, she would think of the blood debt borne by the Flowing Fire Gang, even if he was just a puppet, she couldn't separate him from the sins of the Flowing Fire Gang.

She won't save anyone's life and come to see Chu Zifeng, she just hopes that he can still have a little humanity and confess the Daning courtier who colluded with the Xia Kingdom to do a lot of evil.

"Chu Zifeng, who is egging you behind your back?"

Chu Zifeng held the wooden fence and asked with interest: "If I don't say it for a day, won't you dare to kill me for a day?" ”

Mei Xiaoren sighed in her heart, it seemed that she underestimated Chu Zifeng's brazenness.

"In this way, you call my brother here, and I will talk to him, you women can't be the masters." Chu Zifeng smiled undiminishedly, and said meaningfully, "Family, there is nothing that can't be discussed, as long as he returns you to me, and then gives some high-ranking officials by the way, I will definitely give a fifteen-ten explanation." ”

Mei Xiaoren turned around and left, not wanting to say anything more.

The last time Chu Zifeng went to prison was planted in her hands, at that time Chu gangsters were just ruffians who were afraid of the sky and the earth, and they were in a hurry to beg for mercy when they were locked up in the county government prison, but now they are squatting in the prison of the Beijing Government Bureau, but their faces do not change and their hearts do not beat......

Is it because he is bold, or is there another way for the person who is supporting him behind his back to protect him?

"Xiaomei'er, don't go, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, let me take a good look at you."

Mei Xiaoren's footsteps didn't stop, and he smashed the fan in his hand with his backhand, "Get out!" ”

The fan flew straight towards Chu Zifeng's head, but it was blocked by the wooden fence and fell to the ground.

"Tut-tut, the little girl is still so temperamental, I like it." Chu Zifeng squinted and smiled, squatted down and picked up the fan, touched the fan, and sniffed it before his nose, "Fragrant!" ”

Mei Xiaoren and Yao Fu Yin went to the public office, intending to listen to Yao Fu Yin carefully talk about the morning's events, and as soon as they walked into the courtyard, they saw that the officials were waiting outside, holding their breath and standing in a proper manner.

She has seen a lot of such scenes, and she doesn't have to think about knowing who's in it.

Mei Xiaoren entered the house, saw Chu Yu sitting in front of the hall drinking tea, walked up to him and sat down and asked, "Xiangye came to see Chu Zifeng?" ”

Gu Chuyu shook his head, put down the teacup and said, "Come out of the palace and pick you up by the way." ”

"From the Imperial City to here, it's called a way?" Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing.

Gu Chuyu turned his eyes to look at her, and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you go along the way or not, the important thing is to pick you up." ”

There was Fu Yin Fucheng standing in the house, and there was a group of officials outside, all of whom lowered their heads when they saw this, and they didn't dare to look at Xiangye and Mrs. You, Nong, and I.

Mei Xiaoren coughed lightly, and wanted to remind the prime minister to pay attention to the occasion, but he not only didn't mind, but also took her hand and led her out of the mansion.

The carriage drove away from the Shangjing Government Office, and Mei Xiaoren thought alone for a while, and said, "The person who instructed Chu Zifeng to sue should already know your background, and he wants to make a big fuss about this?" ”

"It's okay, I have never felt that my background is unremarkable, the surname Gu is not a glory, and the surname Chu is not a shame."

Mei Xiaoren nodded.

He is not a royal family, and he is not like a nobleman who can have an innate brilliance by blood. If the emperor is not surnamed Jiang, the throne will have to change the master, the prime minister's house can hold the power, relying on the old prime minister's previous strategy, and Chu Yu can sit firmly in the position of prime minister, relying on his own ability, and has nothing to do with blood inheritance, so his life experience is not Chu Yu's weakness.

"Don't you see anything, isn't there anything in the world that can threaten you?"

"Yes." Gu Chuyu held Mei Xiaoren's shoulder, took her into his arms, and said lightly, "You are my weakness, this is a well-known thing, but unfortunately no one can afford to gamble." ”

Mei Xiaoren touched Gu Chuyu's face, and said with admiration and doting: "Who can count you." ”

Last time, Wei Guogong sent her to spend money to buy officials and put her in prison, but the final result was that she came out unharmed, and the Wei State Mansion broke a few generals in vain, and her vitality was greatly damaged, if it weren't for Ye Zhi's life experience to gain the heart of the army, the Guogong Mansion was afraid that she would not be able to get up in ten years.

An example can dispel this idea by those who try to use her to blackmail Chu Yu, even the Duke of Wei can't afford to lose, and they can't afford to lose.

Mei Xiaoren asked again: "What are you going to do with Chu Zifeng, wait for him to speak?" ”

"Your Majesty has issued an order to summon him to the palace tomorrow for an audience."
