Wang Wu replied lightly: "After sending you into the city that day, we went out of Lanxidu, and when we arrived at the mouth of the three rivers, it was not yet the time of Hai. We anchored in Meicheng for the night. I deliberately got off the boat and went to the inn that Li Shun said, and inquired with the guys, and sure enough, there were a few guests with Shandong accents who had been staying for a day. ”

"I stayed at the inn that night, and the next morning, waiting for the people from the Lu Wangfu to go out for breakfast, I deliberately went downstairs and had a little friction with them. A few people, though arrogant, did not suspect me at all. I secretly followed them out, and when I was eating early, I listened to their discussions and complained that Li Shun missed the appointed time. ”

"I returned to the ship as if nothing had happened, swaggered out of Meicheng, and arrived in Chun'an all the way without danger."

Ma San smiled and said: "Sure enough, without Li Shun's joint, the people in Lu Wangfu have become blind, it can be seen that this bureau, they are also very hasty and not thorough." ”

Wang Wu laughed and teased: "They don't know anything about our itinerary, maybe they are still waiting in Meicheng at this time." ”

This is an obvious mockery, Ma San waved his hand: "No, no, if you haven't noticed it today, it's too stupid." ”

Wang Wu laughed.

Meng Qingyun said: "Even if you are really stupid, it will not be long before you know." I am afraid that such an astonishing act here today will soon spread to the neighboring villages and towns, and Meicheng is only a hundred miles away from Chun'an, and those who have merchants can reach it within a day. Sooner or later, the people of King Lu's Mansion will know. ”

Ma San said: "I was about to ask Yuan Niang, did you buy Go at a high price today, did you do it on purpose?" ”

Meng Qingyun nodded: "It's still the same sentence, the more fanfare I let everyone know that I went to She County, the more the people in Luwangfu dare not act rashly." Intrigue is most afraid of being exposed to the sun. So, the more people know, the safer we are. ”

Asakusa said angrily: "Five thousand taels of silver, it's worth it to buy a safe one." ”

Zijing reached out and pinched her cheek and teased, "I can't see that you are actually a miser." ”

Everyone laughed, and Ma San and Wang Wu were also convinced by Meng Qingyun.

Meng Qingyun picked up a golden silk date from the plate and chewed it carefully, wiped his fingers, and said, "Rest in Chun'an today, let's leave early tomorrow." ”

Ma San calculated, nodded and said: "Chun'an to She County, according to the wind direction of the past two days, two hours can arrive." I asked Shopkeeper Wang to send someone to Shexian to deliver the letter. ”

In fact, when he set off from Lanxi in the early morning two days ago, Ma San had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Bai's house in She County, saying that Meng Qingyun missed his grandmother and wanted to come to She County to visit the old man and stay for a while. Meng Qingyun specially told Ma San not to mention the fact that the Lu family and the Lu Wangfu and the Yongkang Hou Mansion jointly designed her. Ma San didn't want to cause trouble to the Bai family, and since this matter had been temporarily eliminated, he agreed to hide it.

It is estimated that the Bai family has already received the letter, and everything that should be prepared is being prepared. Now I ask someone to deliver a letter, but I just tell you the specific time of arrival.

The carriage ride was also really tiring, Meng Qingyun and the maidservants rested well for a long time, and slept peacefully all night.

Early the next morning, Shopkeeper Wang personally sent them from the Drunken Immortal Residence to the dock, and he didn't come back until everyone got on the boat and the hull was offshore.

Thanks to the blessing of yesterday's five thousand taels of silver, the people of Chun'an City are in a fresh hot discussion period for this bold Meng Yuanniang, and the news that she left Chun'an early in the morning to go to She County naturally spread throughout the city quickly.

"I don't care, you have to give me an explanation for this matter anyway!"

In Yaxi Meng's house, Mrs. Yongkang Hou was slapping the table and throwing a tantrum at the Lu family.

The good and decent people of their Hou Mansion were hung from a tree all night, and they almost lost half their lives. And because the whole body was stripped naked, the people of the Lanxi County Ya also arrested Li Shun and the four people as suspicious characters, and tossed back and forth a lot of effort to prove that they were from the Yongkang Hou Mansion in Dongyang.

This is good, the identity is proven, and the people in Lanxi City all know that the people of the Yongkang Hou Mansion prostitute girls and don't give money.

Shame on you!

Li Shun and the others returned to the Yongkang Hou Mansion tremblingly, and were almost not killed by the Yongkang Hou.

What's more, there are people from King Lu's Mansion who are waiting in Meicheng, who feel that something is wrong, and they don't blindly wait in Meicheng, but come directly to Dongyang and ask about the door of the Yongkang Hou's Mansion.

It's really a loss for my wife and a soldier.

Things are done like this, Mrs. Yongkang Hou can't bear this breath, no, she ran to the Meng Mansion to question the Lu family.

Lu Shi was also angry: "I handed it over to you, but it was the people in your house who did not do well and let her run away." Do you still have the face to ask me? ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou said sharply: "I am not for your Meng family, it is not our Hou Mansion who is locked up in prison, but your family Meng Pei!" ”

Lu Shi said aggrievedly: "What should I do then?" The people also ran away, can I still knock on the door of the Bai family and force them to hand them over? ”

"Phew!" Mrs. Yongkang Hou had a dark face, "You want to ruin the reputation of the three of us!" Is this a thing that sees the light? ”

Both of them felt breathless and angry, and they were relatively speechless for a while, only sulking.

They don't have anything to say, but others have something to say.

There were also people from King Lu's Mansion present.

"I said two ladies, don't act in front of me about the mess between you. What our prince wants is people, what about people?! ”

This person pinched an orchid finger, and although his voice was loud, it was sharper than that of ordinary people, and he was actually an internal official.

The Lu family dared to pass the buck to Mrs. Yongkang Hou, but they didn't dare to be contemptuous to the people of Lu Wangfu, so they immediately changed their tone and said in a low voice: "Senior Officer Lin, you also see the ins and outs of this matter. Our Meng family really wants to be good friends with Lu Wangfu, and people have honestly given it, and now it has become this situation, and it is not the responsibility of our Meng family. ”

Lin Neiguan let out a "hmm" from his nose and said, "What I said is, in the final analysis, it is the Yongkang Marquis Mansion that is not good. ”

"Yes." Mrs. Yongkang Hou did not dare to shirk her responsibility, so she could only respond.

But she responded anyway and there was no loss, what she asked for was the Meng family, what she didn't receive was Lu Wangfu, and the Yongkang Hou Mansion was just an intermediate manager, and the actual loss was not there anyway.

Lin Neiguan said slowly: "This person has run away, and I don't know how to explain to the prince." Your Meng family still wants to entrust the prince to do things, are you just asking for someone with empty mouths and white teeth? ”

Lu Shi snorted: "What ......does the Yilin official mean?"

Lin Neiguan didn't answer, coughed lightly twice, picked up the teacup, and made a gesture to drink, but he said "yo" first.

"The utensils used in your house are really good, what about Ru kiln celadon."

This unrelated sentence made Lu a little confused.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou hated her and pulled her: "You still don't understand? ”

Lu Shi had a little speculation, but he didn't want to admit it.

Lin Neiguan kept paying attention to her expression from the corner of his eyes, so he snorted coldly: "It seems that the eldest lady doesn't care about Meng Shilang's life." ”

Lu's hair stood on end, and he said in a panic: "No, no." It's just that...... It's just that I don't know what the big official means, how much should it be......"

Lin Neiguan stood up, and began to wander around the hall with his hands behind his back, with a lofty appearance of "I don't want to talk about copper smell".

Mrs. Yongkang Hou quietly gave Lu Shi a palm.

The Lu family was so painful that his heart was dripping blood—fifty thousand taels—Lu Wangfu's mouth was really open.

But at this time, Meng Pei's life and future were in the hands of the other party, what else could she do except pinch her nose and agree.
