Chapter 105: The Meng Family Brothers and Sisters
Jian Qing pulled Meng Zhenzhen back, arched his hand to Mrs. An, and said with a smile, "Thank you Aunt An, my brother can still afford a hundred yuan, and I will send you the money when I turn around." ”
Meng Shan stood at the door, he saw the scene just now, the child was so angry that his little chest kept rising and falling, his hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were staring at the side of the main house, red, Jian Qing seemed to see a touch of killing intent.
"Come in!" Jian Qing took Zhenzhen by the hand and said sharply as he passed by him.
Meng Shan retracted his gaze and came in obediently.
On the table, the brother and sister have already prepared a meal, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of pickles, cooked a pot of porridge, a bowl of porridge on the table, a pair of chopsticks, this is today's lunch?
Zhao Er couldn't stand it a little, "I'm going to buy some food and come back?" ”
"No need, let's eat it first, I bought vegetables, and these two little ones are reluctant to eat." Jian Qing said a little helplessly.
"It's going to be a hundred dollars more a month." Meng Shan poked the table with his chopsticks and said angrily.
"Brother Shan, is it useful to be angry?"
Meng Shan shook his head, but the little boy, tears still rolled out.
"Although you and Second Brother Zhao don't make much money, we can still support you." Jian Qing raised his hand and stroked his head and rubbed it, "There is hatred in my heart, and I shouldn't be." You may think that Mrs. An is very annoying, and deliberately makes us pay an extra 100 yuan a month, but have you thought about it, it's just 100 yuan, and she didn't say that she wanted to drive us out, right? ”
"However, for a hundred yuan, you can buy a lot of steamed buns."
"In the future, there will be no shortage of steamed buns for you to eat." Jian Qing put ten money in Meng Shan's hand, "Go out and buy a few steamed buns and come back, just this can show the gruel that the figure of the person comes, don't starve me and your second brother Zhao." ”
Meng Shan suddenly burst into tears and laughed, grabbed the money, and jumped up, "Okay! "Ran out like a gust of wind.
Zhao Er asked, "Is this case a bit eyebrow-raising?" ”
Jian Qing turned the chopsticks in his hand, "One more thing needs to be confirmed." ”
"What's the matter?"
Jian Qingqing glanced at the room opposite, "Yu Bai's mother." ”
Zhao Er said, "Tonight, I'll go to the other side to investigate." ”
It just so happened that Meng Shan came back, carrying steamed buns in his hand, hot, he ran all the way back, covered with sweat, and distributed the steamed buns to Jian Qing and them, seeing that no one touched the food on the table, Meng Shan was very happy.
It was a good feeling to have someone waiting for him to come back for dinner.
The four of them finished their meal as they spoke.
Meng Shan washed the dishes and really helped clean up the table.
Jian Qing and Zhao Er were going to visit Luba Village outside the city. Before leaving, Zhao Er handed five taels of silver to Meng Shan, "I will go out to buy a bed and quilt for a while, and come back, I can't let you Jianqing brother not cover it with a quilt at night." Also, buy you and your sister cotton clothes and pants again, don't freeze again, it's not cheap to take medicine when you're sick these days. There is also a sumptuous meal at night, how many years has your second brother Zhao not made pickles and steamed buns. ”
Meng Shan pinched the silver, lowered his head and listened, for a long time, he raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, "Second Brother Zhao, Brother Jian Qing, I will return it to you in the future." ”
"If you really don't want to go, just be fine, grow up in the future, and be a person who contributes to the country and the people." Jian Qing rubbed his head, "Yes, we are busy, take good care of my sister, if someone bullies you, go to Yanwang's Mansion to find Brother Zhao." ”
Meng Shan took five taels of silver to the garment shop to buy cotton clothes, but was regarded as a thief, the owner of the garment shop insisted that Meng Shan's money was stolen, "I just saw you and your sister begging in the alley over there yesterday, and sleeping on the street at night, you said that this silver is yours, who will believe it?" ”
If it was before, Meng Shan would definitely have to fight with this group of bastards, but he remembered Jian Qing's words, "Be a person who contributes to the country and the people", then he can't deal with these people, "There is a kind of you who send me to the yamen!" However, if the official lord judges that the silver is mine, what do you say? ”
"Oh, you rabbit cub, are you really competing with Lao Tzu?" The owner of the ready-to-wear shop rolled up his sleeves and shouted to the shopkeepers, "Teach these two cubs a lesson for his father and mother, and see if they dare to steal in the future." ”
Meng Zhenzhen was so frightened that he cried, "It's the silver given by Second Brother Zhao, you bully my brother, Brother Jian Qing will definitely avenge my brother!" ”
"Heh, so many brothers, dare to love your brother? At a young age, don't learn well! ”
Meng Zhenzhen didn't understand, Meng Shan understood, jumped up angrily, and kicked at the owner of the ready-to-wear shop, "You are an immortal, uncle is not mad, you are a bully for us?" Today, if you don't spit out my money, I'll burn your shop on fire. ”
The people from the Terracotta Division patrolled the streets, and just heard these words, and they didn't dare to treat the Meng Shan brothers and sisters too much as beggars, so they sent them to Yingtianfu together with the owner of the ready-to-wear shop.
This was originally a trivial matter, and Zeng Zuochao was too busy to get to the ground recently because of a serial murder case. Although the case has been transferred to Beizhen Fusi, he can't really ignore it, who knows when the emperor will ask him again?
Besides, there is a process of handover, and assistance is also a matter of responsibility.
The case of the two "thieves" of the Meng Shan brothers and sisters was tried by the magistrate He Keli.
"What's your name?" He Tuiguan didn't wake up a little, squinting his eyes and dozing off.
"Meng Shan."
"Villain Shen Tong." The owner of the ready-to-wear shop glanced at Meng Shan.
"I didn't ask you." He Tuiguan asked Meng Shan, "Why do you want to steal silver?" ”
"I didn't steal the silver, it was given to me by my second brother Zhao."
"Zhao Er? Who is Zhao Er? What is your name? ”
Meng Shan couldn't answer, "Second Brother Zhao is Second Brother Zhao." ”
"If you don't even know your name, will someone give you five taels of silver? Are you the God of Wealth? He Tuiguan finally opened his eyes and looked at the two children, "This official thinks that you are young, and he doesn't care about the two of you, confiscate the silver, where should I go in a hurry?" ”
"You, you ......" Meng Shan still didn't say the word "dog official" in the end, "You don't believe that this silver was given by Second Brother Zhao, Brother Jian Qing can testify, the silver is ours and cannot be confiscated." ”
The word "Jianqing" is like a dose of elixir, which makes He Ke immediately enlightened, "You just said Jianqing? Who are the two of you? ”
Meng Shan saw from He Keli's expression that it was not good, but Jian Qing was his family, and this would not change at any time, "It's my brother." ”
That's great!
He Keli gave a look, and the sergeants in the hall hurriedly stepped forward and threw the two children into the prison of Ying Tianfu.
Jian Qing and Zhao Er found the Lu family's original house in Luba Village, the house was renovated, it was very new, and it was said that only one Lao Suo was left to guard the door, but when Jian Qing and the two passed, the backyard of the house was already inhabited by Lao Suo's son's family, and the two children were chasing chickens and dogs, and the yard was a mess.
