Saying that, Xia Mengning looked at the man and said, "You said that you make a living by striking iron, so why can you tell at a glance that the ginseng that the guys in our shop are equipped with is fake?" Even if you can see it, then how can you know that the white dried ginseng and the medicine in it will be compatible? You also said that you are illiterate, so how do you know these things? As far as I know, even if the average blacksmith has a perennial uninterrupted business, it is only ten taels of silver a year, and you order a mountain ginseng medicinal diet in our shop, this medicinal diet is extremely nourishing, because the medicinal materials in it are very precious, this medicinal diet, it costs ten taels of silver, and the guy comes to the door to configure, plus the consultation fee, and it is one or two silver, a total of eleven taels of silver, you say, when did you start saving money, and you are willing to spend more than a year's income to buy such a medicinal diet? Or, you husband and wife have saved up this year without eating or drinking, but if you make a living by striking iron, then you don't need money for the charcoal stove? ”

After saying this, the man was dumbfounded, and he hurriedly thought about explaining, but Xia Mengning's question was too sharp, so he couldn't think of so many reasons to deal with it for a while.

Xia Mengning saw that the man was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but restrain his face, and said with a smile: "What, can't you say it?" As a word of advice, the next time you want to pour dirty water on someone else, it's never too late to make up a lie first. ”

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and several officers and soldiers walked in front, and the person sitting in the middle was none other than Yin Cheng Tianxing, the governor of Ying Tianfu.

This is exactly the reason why Xia Mengning asked Zhulian to find Xia Chuanyuan before, as early as when she heard Li Yan talk about this matter, she had a plan in her heart, this matter must be pushed by someone behind her, so she asked Xia Chuanyuan to find Ying Tianfu and block this person's back road first.

Cheng Tianxing saw that Xia Mengning was also there, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and saluted, "Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin Cheng Tianxing to meet the county lord of Hehe, the county lord is blessed." ”

Cheng Tianxing's Mansion Yin is the third grade, and Xia Mengning's newly sealed Hehe County Lord is the second grade, which is one grade higher than Cheng Tianxing, and it stands to reason that he should salute.

Xia Mengning accepted this salute and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Lord Yin." ”

Cheng Tianxing also knew that Xia Mengning was no longer what it used to be, so he was also cautious in his actions, and hurriedly said: "It is the duty of the subordinate officials to punish adultery and eliminate evil. ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Then thank you Lord Yin." ”

When the man saw it, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that you know each other, no wonder, ordinary people like us, where can they be compared with you, I should have known, there is no heavenly reason in this world......

Seeing that the man was about to play the sympathy card again, many people were a little disgusted, after all, the question raised by Xia Mengning just now made the man stammer, and he could see at a glance that the man was lying.

When Cheng Tianxing heard this, he hurriedly said solemnly: "Presumptuous, in broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to slander the emperor's second-grade and Hejun lord with empty words and white teeth, it is really bold and reckless." ”

said, and said: "The county lord is smart, let us go to your house early to see, you are not an iron at all, when the official went, your lady was sitting on the kang and eating melon seeds, her face was ruddy and looked like she was sick, and the official also asked a doctor to show her, she was not pregnant at all, and she had no pain." ”

When the man heard this, his face was ashen, he didn't expect that Xia Mengning had blocked his back road early, and when everyone saw his face, they immediately knew the root cause of the matter, and for a while, everyone's spearhead was aimed at the man who was making trouble.

Cheng Tianxing bowed his hand to Xia Mengning, "The matter has come to light, and the lower officials will put the pair of thieves in prison for strict interrogation, and they will definitely find out the black hand behind the scenes." ”

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, Xia Mengning naturally guessed it early, not to mention that the person who can do such a thing must not be a good person, if Ying Tianfu can solve these things, then there will not be so many unjust cases every year.

In troubled times, you can't care about everything at all, some things can only be pretended to be confused, so as to balance the relationship between the two sides or even multiple parties, if you are careful, I am afraid that it will be unbalanced, which will cause more trouble.

Xia Mengning knew this truth, so she just nodded lightly at Cheng Tianxing's words, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Lord Yin." ”

Cheng Tianxing took the man away, and many people who accused Xia Mengning just now were a little embarrassed, especially the old man who had been helped by Xia Mengning, who was even more ashamed of himself, and stepped forward and said, "Miss Xia, the old body can't stand you......"

Xia Mengning smiled faintly, "It's okay, you didn't hurt me, you just didn't judge who was right and who was wrong, I didn't give porridge and help refugees, not so that you could repay me one day." ”

The old man was stunned by Xia Mengning's words, and it took him a while to react, and just as he was about to get up and say something, he saw that Xia Mengning had already gotten into the carriage and walked away.

In the teahouse not far away, in the private room on the second floor, a man was looking out through the screen window, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "I made a mistake." ”

The woman opposite was holding a teapot made of purple and gold sand, and the light brown tea soup slowly flowed out of the spout and poured into the delicate small teacup.

After the woman finished this series of actions, she raised her head and smiled lightly, "Daddy should have known a long time ago that Xia Mengning was never a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

The man touched his beard, and suddenly noticed an unusual look in the window of the restaurant opposite, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the woman's wrist had been grabbed by the woman, "Hurry up!" ”

Things happened almost at the same time, Changsun Yun was secretly observing the surrounding situation as early as after Xia Mengning finished solving the matter, and sure enough, he found something strange in the teahouse opposite.

As soon as the carriage drove over, Xia Mengning felt the movement outside, "Stop." ”

The carriage stopped, and Li Yan hurriedly said, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Mengning took off her gauze hat and put it in the carriage, walked out and said, "I have something to do, you go back first." ”

After speaking, he lifted the internal force, tapped his toes, and flew out in the blink of an eye.

Jiu'er knew about Xia Mengning's martial arts, and also understood that Xia Mengning must have something important to do now, so he said to Li Yan, who was still stunned: "Steward Li, let's go back first." ”

Xia Mengning's internal strength was strong, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with the two of them.

Eldest Sun Yun followed and hurriedly helped Xia Mengning, "Ning'er, why are you here?" ”

Xia Mengning said softly: "I saw your figure, and I was afraid that you were in danger, so I chased after you." ”

The two people in front of them had also stopped, just because there was a cliff in front of them, and there was no way out.

Eldest Sun Yun glanced at Xia Mengning, and the two exchanged glances with each other, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

The two people in front turned around, the eldest Sun Yun and Xia Mengning could only see that they were a man and a woman, the man was middle-aged, and the woman was very young.

In this chase just now, Eldest Sun Yun and Xia Mengning both knew that the two people in front of them had good martial arts, and they didn't dare to take it lightly at the moment.

The young woman covered her face and said with a smile: "I don't know what the prince and the county lord are chasing us like this?" In this blue sky and white day, both of them are figures with heads and faces, if they are spread, I am afraid that they will be humiliated by their reputations. ”

Although this woman's voice has changed tone, Xia Mengning still sounds with a hint of familiarity, and the eldest grandson Yunyun is light, and said with a smile: "Who sent you, why do you want to oppose us, don't say that you don't know today's events, if you don't know, why did you run away when you saw me?" ”

The woman laughed a few times and said, "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, how can we tell others if we give Jin an affair?" ”

Xia Mengning stood beside Changsun Yun and said lightly: "Tell the people behind the scenes, I will spare you, if you don't say it, the two of you will die here today." ”

When the young woman heard this, she said disdainfully, "Oh? Is it? ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly called Xia Mengning's side, "I want to see the strength of the county lord." ”

Xia Mengning was able to avoid it, her wrist flew, and she drew a soft sword from her waist to fight with the woman.

The middle-aged man on this side had also rushed towards Xia Mengning, with long armor on his ten fingers, glowing with black light.

Changsun Yun blocked the man with his sword, forcing the man back several steps.

Xia Mengning was skillful with the sword, and after a few clicks, the woman was forced to retreat again and again, the woman couldn't parry Xia Mengning's attack, her body and movements gradually slowed down, Xia Mengning seized an opportunity and stabbed a sword in the woman's chest, although the woman had retreated continuously, she was still picked by the sword.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward to catch the woman, and said as if he was sad: "We can't beat them, so let's talk about it." ”

The woman hurriedly covered the man's mouth, "I can't say it, I can't say it if I die......"

The man was anxious, "You protect the king like this, he may not be willing to accept your affection......"

As soon as the words fell, the woman noticed the loophole in the man's speech, hurriedly covered the man's mouth, took out two black balls from her arms and slammed them on the ground, and after a burst of smoke, the two disappeared.
