Chapter 104: Misunderstanding

"Master Tao, what kind of wind blew you here, is there something that needs to be escorted by our dart board?" The white sickle was also polite, which made Tao Ranfeng, who was the leader, a little embarrassed.

Tao Ranfeng coughed, straightened up, and said to Bai Yao: "Boss Bai, this official came today to find the third son, can the third son be in the house?" ”

"Yes, yes." Bai Yao replied, turned to Bai Liu beside him and said, "Go, call the third young master, and say that Master Tao is looking for it." ”

"Eh, okay."

"Master Tao, why don't you drink tea inside?" Bai Kao said politely, it is not a good thing to be found by officials like this.

Seeing this, Bai Sickle hurriedly said, "Eh! Is there some misunderstanding? ”

Bai Nanchuan was escorted by everyone like this, and he didn't know what the situation was, he was escorted in front of Tao Ranfeng, Tao Ranfeng looked at Bai Nanchuan and smiled.

"Misunderstanding? Could it be a misunderstanding? The third young master went to Liulin yesterday? Tao Ranfeng looked at Bai Nanchuan, who was being held below, with a proud look.

Bai Nanchuan was asked by him, but he remembered, does it have anything to do with those bandits yesterday?

"Go, my lord, why did you come today, and you still have to detain the grass people." Bai Nanchuan's wounds were held, and blood came out of it.

When he saw Bai Nanchuan bleeding, Bai Sickle was a little nervous and wanted to step forward to help, but was glared at by Tao Ranfeng.

"Since you went, why did you ask the official why he came? You know that you have committed murder! ”

Bai Nanchuan understood, the crime of murder, I am afraid that it is the bandits he killed yesterday, Bai Sickle frowned, and his heart was shocked.

"Chuan'er, what's going on!" He snapped.

"Me"

"Okay, don't say anything, take it back for interrogation!" Tao Ranfeng didn't give Bai Nanchuan a chance to explain in front of Bai Yao, and directly asked people to escort him back.

Seeing Bai Nanchuan being escorted away, thinking about the wounds on his body, he also knew something, and hurriedly pulled Bai Liu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Bai Liu nodded after hearing this, and quickly ran out of the house.

Bai Nanchuan was escorted by officers and soldiers from Bai's house to Yamen for a distance, and everyone saw Bai Nanchuan being escorted away and talked about it.

Xiangrong came out to buy vegetables today, saw the crowd in front of him, and didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward to take a look, and actually saw Bai Nanchuan being escorted away, and his shoulder was bleeding.

What happened, Xiangrong watched Bai Nanchuan leave nervously, she didn't know how Bai Nanchuan was taken away by the officials in a good manner.

After Mei Changqing's marriage in Prince Yu's mansion, he was rewarded with a lot of flowers and plants by the emperor, and Mei Changqing didn't have time to take care of it, so Bai Yiyan helped him take care of it first.

Anyway, it's okay to be idle, so it's better to help him tidy up the garden, and it looks more comfortable.

Cultivating her own self-cultivation temperament, it's time to look a little bit like a lady, she used to be free in Taimu Mountain, like a wild child.

As a woman now, you still have to learn how to abide by women's morals, be a good wife, and be a good mother in the future.

"The princess's skills have been getting better and better recently, and the care of this flower and plant is also a special symbol." Piao Hui has been following Bai Yiyan for a few days, Piao Hui is good at everything, and she will say something nice to make Bai Yiyan happy.

Who doesn't want to listen to nice words, Bai Yiyan is the same, originally she thought that she was different from other princesses, but when she really became that identity, she would become like that.

Bai Yiyan smiled and looked extremely gentle, "Piao Hui, it's good that this flower hasn't been repaired for me, and you still praise me." ”

"Why, Princess, you are modest."

Piaohui, the little girl, still makes Bai Yiyan happy, Bai Yiyan smiled and looked at the freshly repaired potted plant in her hand, and she was also very satisfied.

"Piao Hui, you say, will the prince like it" Bai Yiyan looked at everything in front of him and asked Piao Hui beside him.

"I see, the prince not only likes the flowers you cultivate, but also loves your people even more."

"Piaohui!" Bai Yijiao snorted, "You, you're getting more and more presumptuous." ”

Piao Hui stuck out her tongue, and her playful appearance made Bai Yiyan not want to pursue it any further, "Princess, don't be angry with Piao Hui, what I said is the truth." ”

"Yes, yes, as far as you can say."

Bai Yiyan put the scissors on the tray on the side, Piao Hui brought a basin of water, washed Bai Yiyan's hands, and the two were about to move to the backyard.

Bai Yiyan also prefers the backyard, and Mei Changqing because she likes to be in the backyard, she specially asked people to make a tea club in the backyard.

She can rest in the winter, cool in the summer, and he can occasionally go over there to drink two cups of tea and enjoy the night view with Bai Yiyan.

A small house hurriedly came in outside the door, looking around for Bai Yiyan's whereabouts, and saw that Bai Yiyan was on his way to the backyard, and was relieved to find someone.

When Uncle Ji saw that the little maid was frizzy, he immediately stopped the little maid so as not to disturb the princess.

"What are you doing here, the princess is going to the backyard now, and the idle people can't go over and bother." Uncle Ji said.

"Something's wrong, Steward Ji." The little guy was in a hurry, and his face was twisted.

"What's wrong, I'm in such a hurry, are you going to find the princess?"

"yes!"

"Tell me what is the matter, and I will go and tell the princess."

Hearing Uncle Ji say this, the little guy couldn't refuse, and whispered a few words in Uncle Ji's ear, and when Uncle Ji heard it, it was really a big deal.

He hurriedly trotted to the backyard, and saw that Piao Hui was helping Bai Yiyan into the tea house, he quickened his pace.

"Princess!" Uncle Ji shouted.

As if Bai Yiyan heard someone shouting about herself, she turned her head and saw Uncle Ji hurriedly running towards her.

Back at the house, Mei Changqing was in a good mood, striding forward, and found traces of Bai Yiqian in the house.

"Ning'er, this king is back!" He said loudly.

When Bai Yiyan heard that it was the prince who had returned, he hurriedly came out of the house with people.

Seeing that Mei Changqing was in a very good mood, she didn't know how to talk to him about Bai Nanchuan, her sad appearance attracted Mei Changqing's attention.

He opened his mouth first: "What's wrong today, what's on your mind?" Or who is it that upsets you? His tone rose a bit, and he looked at the people around him.

The subordinates lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to speak out one by one, it was not they who displeased the princess, and it was not displeased, but it just annoyed the princess.

"No, you're so fierce, you're going to scare them." Bai Yiyan took Mei Changqing's hand.

Seeing her say this, Mei Changqing turned into a smile and said, "It's okay if you don't have it, Ning'er, do you still have anything on your mind, this king just came back, and when I saw you, I was full of worries, what's wrong?" ”

Mei Changqing coaxed Bai Yiyan in a low voice, no matter how she felt that she had hidden her heart in her heart, she wanted her to say it no matter what.

Bai Yiyan lowered his head and wiped the tears in his eyes with his fingers, Mei Changqing was at a loss when he saw this.

"Ouch, why are you still crying, what the hell is going on." Mei Changqing gently lifted her chin with her fingers, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Lord Wang. Third brother him." Bai Yiyan told Mei Changqing about Bai Nanchuan, and Mei Changqing's face changed when he heard it.

Bai Nanchuan has always been a docile person, no matter how strong his martial arts are, he is not a person who kills people casually.

Could it be that Tao Ranfeng did not investigate this matter, and concluded that Bai Nanchuan killed someone for no reason, and then arrested Bai Nanchuan!

It's just that you don't go through the process, you just want to catch someone to deal with it, and now the court still needs to be rectified, and it is because of these people that the court will not have an order.

"It's against him! As an official of the imperial court, don't you arrest people at will without investigating it clearly? Mei Changqing was also angry after hearing this, and shouted loudly. Lian Ge, you go and prepare the carriage, and we will go to the yamen together later, and this king wants to see what is going on. ”

"Yes!" Lian Ge received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Mei Changqing looked at Bai Yiyan's aggrieved appearance, and could only comfort her: "Okay, okay, don't cry, with this king here, it will be fine." ”

"Hmm!" Bai Yiyan's eyes were red, and he nodded in response.

"Do you want to go with the king to see what is going on? Or is it that the king has gone and will come back and talk to you? ”

Mei Changqing suddenly proposed, and Bai Yiyan was a little hesitant when he heard that he could also go, but he was afraid that the impact would not be good.

"I'm going, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"What's wrong? You are the princess of this king, and this king wants to take you to meet someone, can it be inappropriate? What Mei Changqing said was really domineering.

Piao Hui on the side is about to be attracted by the prince's favorite wife mode, so she almost shouted for the prince.

Mei Changqing spoiled his wife, which was also unbearable, Bai Yiyan never thought that they would come to such a point today, and Mei Changqing was very good to herself.

Seeing him say that, Bai Yiyan also agreed, and his expression relaxed a lot.

Mei Changqing saw her state and was relieved, as long as it didn't affect Bai Yiyan's mood, everything was easy to say.

He wanted to go and see what was going on, so indiscriminate, Mei Changqing had heard it for the first time.

He took some of his attendants, followed the carriage, and Lian Ge carried his horse to the yamen in the city.

He was hesitant and couldn't say a word, Mei Changqing snorted coldly when he saw this.

"That's what you, the sheriff, do? If you don't even know the specific facts of the case, you arrest people indiscriminately? Do you know who Bai Nanchuan is from this king? If he really did that kind of thing, this king doesn't blame you, if he was wronged, oh, Tao Ranfeng, you have the black gauze hat on your head ready! ”

Mei Changqing came down first, and Tao Ranfeng was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in a low voice: "The prince is angry, the prince is angry!" The lowly position is also investigating the matter thoroughly, but this matter is related to the lives of eight or nine people, and the lowly position does not dare to put the murderer outside easily. ”

"Oh? Yes, you go and bring Bai Nanchuan now, and this king will personally ask him what the situation is! Mei Changqing put one hand behind his back, and led Bai Yiyan into the mansion with the other.

Bai Yiyan was uneasy, although she could see Bai Nanchuan immediately, she always felt panicked, as if something had happened.

Mei Changqing sat on the upper seat, Bai Yiyan sat beside him, and Tao Ranfeng ordered someone to bring Bai Nanchuan.

Bai Nanchuan had already been tortured in prison, Tao Ranfeng didn't expect Mei Changqing to come to the door so quickly, if Mei Changqing saw Bai Nanchuan's appearance, I was afraid that he would also find him trouble.

Tao Ranfeng stood aside with his head down, and even the singer stood opposite him with a sword, looking at Tao Ranfeng's face, he kept hiding his expression as if he didn't dare to face it.

Bai Nanchuan was helped into the lobby, he was already injured, and then he was beaten all over the body, and when he was put down, he seemed to have no strength and fell to the ground.

The prison uniform had already been beaten and was full of blood, Bai Yiyan saw it, and immediately stood up, Mei Changqing pulled her, calmed her emotions, and told her that it would be good to leave everything to him.

"Tao Ranfeng, you are so bold! What are you trying to do? Do you want him to be beaten into a trick? Mei Changqing slapped the table, and a loud sound made Tao Ranfeng shake his body.

He hurriedly ran to the front and knelt down, "Lord forgive your sins!" It's Bai Nanchuan who has a bad attitude! That's why the punishment was used. This."

"How dare you quibble! Before the whole matter is investigated, how can you spew blood and try to punish him with punishment! What a sin you should be! ”

When the yamen escorted Bai Nanchuan back in the morning, many people had already paid attention to this matter, and this time even the prince was personally present to try this case, I am afraid that it will be a big case.

But everyone rumored that it was the prince's brother-in-law who committed the crime, what if the prince bent the law for personal gain.

Mei Changqing came this time to investigate the actual situation, and in the face of Tao Ranfeng's abuse of punishment, it was really unbearable for him.

Everyone also heard what Mei Changqing said, and the case did not come to light, but they used punishment to force him to confess.

Everyone is accusing Tao Ranfeng, Tao Ranfeng not only has to face the prince's questioning, but also accepts the accusations of the people, which makes him live extremely tormented.

He kept his head down, not daring to say anything.

"Tao Ranfeng, you go and call the informant, and this king wants to ask him how he knew that the murderer was Bai Nanchuan."

"Yes, yes, yes." Tao Ranfeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked someone to find the informant.

The informant is a woodcutter who looks honest, if he really sees the cause of the incident and proves that it was indeed Bai Nanchuan who killed him, Mei Changqing has nothing to say.

Chai Fu was stunned when he saw Mei Changqing, he didn't know any prince, Tao Ranfeng saw this, and was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Bold, don't kneel down when you see the prince." ”

Chai Fu knew that the person sitting in front of him was the prince, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people have seen the prince!" ”

"No, Bai Gongzi only came to the store once to buy something, and Bai Gongzi and I are not very familiar with each other." Xiangrong lowered her head and looked at Bai Nanchuan who was paralyzed on the ground.

"Oh? Since this is the case, then this king still has a question, was Bai Nanchuan the one who took the initiative to kill those bandits at that time? ”

"Back to the prince, it's not like this, Bai Gongzi reminded those people not to act rashly, otherwise it will hurt them." Xiangrong is reminiscing about yesterday's events.

"Bai Nanchuan really said that?"

"Back to the prince, the people don't dare to fake, after Bai Gongzi said this, those people still didn't listen to the dissuasion, saying that they would kill Bai Gongzi and kill me"

"What's wrong with you?" Mei Changqing asked.

"They said that they wanted to sell me to the Qinglou, it was better to give them a few brothers to have a good time, Bai Gongzi was naturally unwilling, those bandits began to fight, and Bai Gongzi fought with those bandits in order to protect our safety. Therefore, Bai Gongzi was also injured, one on his arm and the other on his shoulder. ”

When Mei Changqing heard this, he slapped the table again, and the frightened Tao Ranfeng trembled again, "These people are damned!" Master Tao, can you hear the words of the witnesses? In order to protect himself, Bai Nanchuan fought with the bandits, and he was also injured! You're still torturing him? ”

"Lord forgive your sins! It's a dereliction of duty! Damn it! ”

When the truth was revealed, there was also a burst of discussion from the people outside the door, and Tao Ranfeng knelt on the ground, already trembling.

Mei Changqing naturally saw his trembling, and looked at Bai Yiyan, who looked at Tao Ranfeng with an expressionless face.

Now that the truth has been revealed, there is nothing to say, Mei Changqing motioned to Lian Ge to let Bai Nanchuan on the ground help him up, and quickly receive treatment.

Lian Ge immediately understood Mei Changqing's eyes, and after helping Bai Nanchuan away, no one said anything.

The truth of this case was revealed, and Tao Ranfeng was still kneeling on the ground, waiting for Mei Changqing's fate.

Bai Yiyan asked Xiangrong to give a seat, sat aside, and waited for Mei Changqing to question Tao Ranfeng. Forget about bringing the people back to the yamen for no reason, it can be said that he can understand that he has violated the law, but he never thought that he would secretly punish him, which is unacceptable to Mei Changqing.

"Tao Ranfeng, this king should say that you are so bold or how bold, you actually did such a thing, if this king reports to the emperor, you see your future, but it will be ruined."

"Lord Wang! Lord, it's the fault of the lowly position! Ask the prince to be merciful! Tao Ranfeng knew that he was scared at this time, so why did he go earlier.

Bai Liu looked at Tao Ranfeng and sneered, only his own uncle has the ability to subdue the person in front of him.

I only remember that he arrogantly found the Bai family in the morning, and now he is not afraid of the powerful.

"Kai'en? Have you ever been thankful to those who have been wronged? This king never thought that the sheriff in Cloud City would do things like this! I didn't even know the ins and outs of the case, so I made up my mind at will, tortured him, and tried to complete his work by beating him, it seems that this king is derelict in his duties, and he didn't find out that there is this phenomenon in Cloud City! ”

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Tao Ranfeng didn't know what to justify, so he could only shout Mei Changqing's name.

"Needless to say, this king will make this matter clear to the emperor and let the emperor decide. Master Tao, the king of the black gauze hat on your head has already reminded you that it is you who are not in a good position. Mei Changqing stood up and walked towards Tao Ranfeng step by step.

Tao Ranfeng knelt on the ground, looked at Mei Changqing's shoes, and thought that he was also stupid to listen to that person's words.

Bai Yiyan didn't know what kind of relationship Taorou and Mei Changqing got along with at the beginning, in short, Bai Yiyan knew that they couldn't have anything.

Thinking about it this way, I am also a lot more relieved.

"You say, why is it that a sheriff does not know how to investigate the cause of the matter, and makes a presumptuous conclusion, thinking that whoever is guilty is guilty, and goes directly to trial. If we hadn't solved this matter today, wouldn't it be easy for others to take the blame for others? ”

"Well, I've also thought about this question, Tao Ranfeng may indeed be derelict in his duties, but he should have someone behind him." Mei Changqing replied to Bai Yiyan in a low voice.

Bai Yiyan was puzzled, the officials in this court are all officials who protect each other, and now the court is also divided into two factions, both of which are secretly assigned, who dares to come openly.

It is also because they are very courageous to be able to dispatch, and it seems that they are also an important member of the DPRK and China as the backbone, which will cause today's situation.

"You mean, it was Prime Minister Yuan who did it?"

"I'm not sure about that, but it should have something to do with him."

Bai Yiyan didn't understand it anymore, and said bluntly: "What is the deep hatred between him and my brother, why should he be involved?" ”

"Don't you understand? Yuan Xiang is not aimed at you, but me. ”

"You?"

"Have you forgotten, Yuan Xiang is the one who wants to kill me, and he no longer sends people to assassinate me, because I am wary of him everywhere, and he has no chance."

"Then why did he attack the third brother?"

Mei Changqing stared at Bai Yiyan's eyes, looked at her seriously, and said, "Because he is your third brother." ”

"Why?"

"You're stupid, because you're my most important person, he probably thinks that from you, I'll be distracted by you, and then do something to the court."

"It's stupid to do this, and some things can be solved very clearly, you don't need to bother at all, find someone to ask, and things will be clear quickly."

Even Bai Yiqian understands this truth, how could Yuan Weiqing make such a mistake in the lot, there is only one possibility, this matter was not arranged by Yuan Weiqing.

It is possible that Yuan Weiqing handed over the power to someone, but that person is not as scheming as Yuan Weiqing, and it seems that he is just a young opponent.

Mei Changqing no longer discussed this matter with Bai Yiyan, and finally was able to deal with the matter, so it was time to relax.

There is still some time before the divorce period, and Mei Nianliao has already ordered that several surrounding foreign countries come to attend Mei Chaoxi's wedding.

Mei Chaoxi didn't know that one of her weddings would be made so grand, and she didn't think that her ending would be like this.

Qin Yan was locked up in a dungeon for a few days, on the grounds that he had prescribed the wrong medicine to the emperor, and his heart was like water for a few days after he entered, and even others thought it was really such a reason.

Qin Yan didn't cry out for injustice, and he knew what he had done, so he was not qualified to complain.

Mei Chaoxi was ordered to marry Yuan Ming, Qin Yan also knew, his heart was painful, but he didn't know who to talk to.

The emperor reinstated him as an official and told everyone that what happened before was a misunderstanding, Qin Yan was not only innocent, but also promoted to an official and became an envoy of the Tai Hospital, a five-rank official.

Mei Chaoxi got angry when he heard this, who did he think he was? Qin Yan also said this at the beginning, if it was him, Mei Chaoxi would be happy.

Her face changed, she turned her face, and returned to her expressionless face: "No need, thank you Lord Yuan for your concern." ”

Yuan Ming saw that Mei Chaoxi was angry just now, he didn't say anything, but was able to understand the princess's position.

Before getting married, Yuan Ming thought about it, just make things clear, and it would be even more embarrassing to get married in the future.

"Princess, the lower official knows your mood and understands"

"You know? No, you don't know. ”

"Princess, you heard from the lower officials, the princess is unwilling to marry the lower officials, the lower officials know that it is the emperor's will, when the first time the officials in the world saw the princess, the lower officials begged the emperor not to make an order, for fear that it would delay the princess's future, the emperor has his decision, and I am just a humble official, powerless to resist the emperor."

Listening to Yuan Ming's explanation, Mei Chaoxi's brows furrowed, and she looked at Yuan Ming in disbelief.

Yuan Ming continued: "Xia Guan has a proposal, I don't know if the princess is interested. ”

"Lord Yuan, please speak." After listening to Yuan Ming's words, Mei Chaoxi became interested in Yuan Ming's proposal.

"Since the emperor promised the princess to the lower officials, we can't resist, so we pretend to agree, after getting married, the lower officials will not touch the princess, the champion mansion, there are many rooms, and the lower officials can sleep in separate rooms with the princess in the future.

The largest room is naturally reserved for the princess, so that over time, everyone will only know that you and I are not in harmony, and after a year, you can apply to the emperor for reconciliation. Princess, what do you think of this idea? ”

This idea, I'm afraid it's the perfect strategy now, Mei Chaoxi is not afraid of losses, and she doesn't suffer losses for such a strategy.

It's just that if he leaves in the future, Qin Yan he. Will he still want himself, or will he start a family at that time?

Now, it is more important to keep your innocence for the time being, and it is not too late to talk about the rest in the future.

"I agree with your advice, and you have to do what you say."

"Yes, the next official will do what he says."
