Chapter 144: The prince has learned badly
Jiang Lie and Xu Yu followed the black shadow until they reached the door of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.
The man in black cautiously probed left and right before knocking on the door, and in a few moments a sneaky head poked out of it to answer him.
The two handed over a large bag of things, because it was too dark, Jiang Lie and the two really couldn't see what the thing was, they only saw that the two people in front of the door didn't say much, as if they had a tacit understanding, and then the man in black who was light instantly rushed to the roof and walked away.
Xu Yu and Jiang Lie glanced at each other, the two of them had been partners for many years, and immediately tacitly divided into two ways, turning all the way into the courtyard of the Criminal Department Shangshu, and following the man in black all the way.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, the front hall of the Yi Wang's Mansion.
"The man in black finally went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War to restore his life, and the things that entered the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department were also thrown out by Li Kang, and he also asked someone to beat the subordinate who collected the things half to death, and this morning he took the things and took the subordinates to the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department, and it is estimated that he is turning his face with Lin Meng inside."
Jiang Lie and Xu Yu told Duan Jingyi about what they had discovered last night, and they didn't forget to add at the end, "This Lin Meng is really unscrupulous, and Li Kang is really iron-faced and selfless as the rumors say, it seems that there is a good show today." β
Duan Jingyi sat on the main seat, the other party was not surprised at all, he said quietly, "A few days ago, Lin Meng had the intention of showing favor to Li Kang, but it is a pity that he couldn't make an appointment to talk about it no matter what means he used, so he made this decision to buy the subordinates of Li Kang's family to secretly send gold and silver in, but he still underestimated the determination of this criminal department secretary." β
"Lin Meng's son has committed a big crime, he won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that he can fish people out in this way, right?"
Duan Jingyi sneered, "Lin Meng is used to such methods, and he thinks that everyone is greedy for treasures, but I didn't expect that this time I bumped into Li Kang, a hard bone, this king has already sent someone to secretly protect Li Kang in advance, even if Lin Meng is unscrupulous, he can't hurt him in the slightest, but ......" Duan Jingyi shook over a lively look, "This king expected that Lin Meng would take action against Li Kang, but he didn't expect that the two of you would come to report the news to me with a blue nose and swollen face." β
"......" Xu Yu and Jiang Lie were both bilitating.
"Let's talk about it."
Half an hour later, the two of them were released from the house after explaining the problem, and as soon as they left the house, Jiang Lie couldn't wait to complain to Xu Yu.
"Did you see the look in the prince's eyes just now? It's all brought by the princess, so improper! β
Xu Yu nodded silently, "That's right!" β
Letting go of the two, Duan Jingyi hurriedly ran back to the Dream Garden and continued to pinch Tang Meng's waist and legs, and from time to time pinched a pastry and put it in Tang Meng's mouth.
He was so excited that he got carried away again last night, so now he is busy offering courtesy to Tang Meng whenever he sees an opportunity.
Tang Meng looked at the energetic man around her full of slander, and she even wondered if she really had such a high 'medicinal value', so that every time after the incident, this man looked so refreshed.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a report from outside, "Niangniang, Miss Li has come to see you." β
Tang Meng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and ordered, "And let Miss Yan wait in the small hall for a while, I'll be here immediately!" β
She hurriedly got up as she spoke, and Duan Jingyi helped her get dressed.
"Don't worry, take your time and don't hurt your back."
It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as the words came out, Tang Meng's soft little fists were exchanged twice, "You still say it, it's not because you ......"
She blushed, simply shut up, and hit him twice more.
Duan Jingyi smiled, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, can I make amends to my wife?" β
Tang Meng pretended to be angry and turned around and sent the person out directly, summoned Xing'er to freshen up and dress him, and hurried to the small hall after a while.
As soon as Li Ziyan saw the visitor, she immediately stood up respectfully and saluted, she specially wore the big hat that Tang Meng bought for her yesterday, "Thanks to the princess and her mother for taking care of her in every way yesterday, the courtiers came to thank her, I don't know if I can disturb my mother." β
Tang Meng smiled and pulled her to sit down, "Don't bother, don't bother, I wish someone would come to play with me, and it seems that this house is more lively." β
Li Ziyan smiled and took the basket in the handmaid's hand, "This is some glutinous rice balls wrapped by the courtiers overnight, yesterday I saw that the lady seemed to like sweet, and I hope you don't dislike it." β
As soon as Tang Meng heard this, she was really happy, and immediately asked Xiao Tao to cook some to eat, she handed the small snack to Li Ziyan's palm, "Don't call me a mother, how old am I older than you, if you don't dislike it, how about calling me sister?" β
Li Ziyan was pleasantly surprised, and immediately stood up to thank him, "Thank you, sister, for not disliking it." β
Tang Meng happily pulled the person back to his seat, after crossing for so long, Li Ziyan was one of the few people she looked at among the housekeepers, "Don't be restrained, anyway, the prince is not here, you will treat this as your own home, what do you want to do!" β
"What do you want to do?" Li Ziyan was surprised, she looked at Tang Meng in front of her enviously, she didn't dare to imagine that there was a woman who could have such a status in her husband's family, let alone in the prestigious Yiwang Mansion.
"Yes, don't be afraid, in fact, the prince is very good, and the Jingqi you saw yesterday, although he is also a royal child, he does not have the slightest arrogance, if he marries the princess one day, he will definitely treat her so kindly."
Speaking of this, Li Ziyan's eyes couldn't help but darken, and she forced a smile abruptly, "I don't know whose girl can have such a blessing." β
"Blessings are also earned by oneself, if even one's beloved can give up, wouldn't it be a puppet at the mercy of others, what happiness is there to talk about."
Li Ziyan was shocked, she looked at the person in front of her in surprise, she couldn't imagine that someone dared to say such shocking words, and this person was still the high-ranking princess Yi.
Tang Meng knew that her remarks were a little too much in the current dynasty, but she firmly believed that Li Ziyan would understand the meaning of her words, and it happened that Xiao Tao came back with 20,000 steaming rice balls.
Tang Meng took the opportunity to change the topic, "Sister and I will eat together, it's been a long time since anyone came to talk to me," she tasted one and immediately praised, "It's really a good craft, this fragrance is so special like osmanthus but not astringent." β
Li Ziyan smiled gently, "It's a gardenia, I have brewed it with white vinegar, and it smells like osmanthus." β
"It's really a pair of skillful hands," Tang Meng turned around and instructed Xing'er, "Send the rest of the bag to King Qi, and let him try it." β
Turning his head again, Li Ziyan had already quietly blushed.
Tang Meng deliberately took advantage of the situation to create an opportunity, "I heard that there are a lot of interesting things in Longdu, how about you accompany me to go there in a few days?" β
"That'...... The courtier's daughter would be respectful and obey her fate. β
Tang Meng smiled slyly, she had already thought of an excellent baby for Duan Jingqi, which was guaranteed to enhance the relationship between the two of them!
