Shen Hao raised it for two days before he went to Cook Shiju to see Mrs. Meng.

When Mrs. Meng heard that Shen Xinmei and Wan Qisheng were attacked, she asked Changqin to run to the West Market several times.

After Shen Hao sat down in front of her, Mrs. Meng had already sorted out the information and told her the details: "The two adults obviously followed away, and the group of people went around Tianmu Mountain, and the two foreigners got lost before they made a move. Moreover, as soon as he made a move, he went straight to the point.

"It's really fortunate that Liang Wujiao, when I heard that the two adults chased after Tianmu Mountain, they immediately screamed badly, and rushed there with a few strong martial arts. On this cold day, he escaped by hiding in an empty tiger's den.

"This time, Chen Guogong really suppressed a lot of mountain bandits, and the Tianmu stretched for more than 100 miles, and many thieves were hidden in it. It's just that the people who accompanied him found that the bandits who had been chasing and killing the two adults for a long time did not find a single one. ”

Missed?

Shen Hao was stunned.

"It seems that those people are really not mountain bandits." Mrs. Meng calmly concluded.

Her news was all local inquiries and reported to the palace. Therefore, no one will publicly admit that Shen Xinmei and Wan Qisheng were premeditated and assassinated.

To Shen Hao, she said whatever she thought.

Shen Hao nodded slowly.

"It's still far from the capital to Wuxing. Not to mention the period of time when I sent news back to Beijing. No matter how quick the prince is, he can't catch up with the 'mountain bandits' who are intentionally hiding. ”

Mrs. Meng didn't make a sound, and her eyes turned coldly out of the window.

She remembered something old.

After the stepmother sold herself, she took her younger siblings away from Hangzhou and disappeared at the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

The local government said that there was no one alive or dead, perhaps because they felt shameless and went to their parents' house, so they went elsewhere...... In the end, it didn't work.

Shen Hao squinted his eyes, thought for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Since this is the case, it is better to let Uncle Wan Qian enter Beijing." ”

Mrs. Meng's gaze turned back: "You mean, it is not the local people in Huzhou who want to kill the two of them, but ......."

"Wan Qiansheng served two terms in Wuxing for six years, and he was promoted to the governor of Huzhou for more than a year. In that realm, he can be regarded as having a small reputation and a small force. But those people were not afraid of him at all, and dared to chase and kill.

Although Xinmei Abel did not swagger, it has been nearly two months since Chen Guogong's eldest son returned to his hometown to handle the division of cases. In addition, there is also the absurd incident that my grandfather made about, which must have become the talk of everyone on the ground in Huzhou after dinner. Even if not everyone knows his face, everyone can always hear that his accent in the capital is different from the local, right?

"But even so, those people can still do it. This shows that there is no misunderstanding and conflict in this matter, and it is simply for the two of them. ”

Shen Hao said lightly. didn't find that her expression was similar to Mrs. Meng on the other side of the case.

Mrs. Meng frowned: "Is it the enemy of the Guogong Mansion?" Or is it Wan Qisheng's enemy? ”

Shen Hao looked at Mrs. Meng for a while, her expression was complicated, and she suddenly asked, "Madam, forgive me for taking the liberty of it." ”

Mrs. Meng looked at her steadily, and suddenly raised her hand, Ling Qingming: "You and Changqin go outside." ”

The two big girls were smart and transparent, and immediately retreated, closing the door and not saying anything, one guarded the door under the porch, and the other went outside to guard the courtyard door.

"Jiangnan is not peaceful." Mrs. Meng changed from kneeling to cross-kneeling, dragged a hidden pouch to cushion behind her, put her arm on the lean, and started gently.

"In the late Tang Dynasty, Taizu was outstanding, and he led the war to the vicinity of the northern capital. Jiangnan Lishu was preserved, and all the big families and wealthy merchants also carefully kept their family wealth.

"But there are always people who are greedy and insufficient, so in the Taizong Dynasty, there was a rebellion, which led to the 20-year war of the three princes and six marquis in the world. Jiangnan was beaten to a pulp. The people, money, and things that Taizu had worked so hard to keep were all destroyed horribly.

"In the early years of this dynasty, when the people of Jiangnan were panicking, His Majesty the Emperor chose a concubine, and he mainly focused on Jiangnan."

Choosing a concubine is a "good" means of calming people's hearts in all dynasties.

Shen Hao looked at Mrs. Meng with mocking eyes and was silent.

"However, just because of Taizu Taizong's compassion, the clans in Jiangnan have never seen the thunderous methods of the royal family of this dynasty, so they are so arrogant.

"They didn't even bother to enter the palace.

"Just for this, the eldest and youngest, the humble, the brothers, nephews, sisters and aunts, took turns to calculate."

Mrs. Meng lowered her eyes, paused for a while, stretched out her hand, pinched a pure white silk handkerchief, and pressed the corners of her eyes and cheeks, "Our young lady has already won the promise of the elders in the family, and even has a tacit understanding with the elders over there, just waiting for the old lady's three-year filial piety period to expire...... Who knows, but suddenly ushered in the will of the election. ”

Moreover, the two young people themselves are already in love, right?

Shen Hao looked at the sad Mrs. Meng and didn't know how to comfort her.

"I said that Jiangnan is not peaceful because, before I accompanied Miss to the capital. Jiaxing, Huzhou, and even the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, faintly, there is a rumor. ”

Mrs. Meng's gaze turned cold.

"It is rumored that Taizu is reincarnated, so he can set the world and sit in the Dragon Court. The next person to be reincarnated is a woman, and this woman can also set the world and sit in the dragon court. ”

Shen Hao's heart jumped suddenly.

Could it be that before him, there was a woman who crossed over or was reborn?

But when he thought about it, his eyes widened and he was shocked: "Is this going to put all the women in the world in cages?!" ”

Mrs. Meng sneered: "Our young lady has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, and everyone in Jiaxing joked that she was a nine-day fairy. Because of the old lady's preference, he has traveled between mountains and rivers since he was a child, and he has been involved in the academy and the family's business. But as soon as the old lady left, the young lady was locked up and returned to the embroidery building. If it weren't for the will of the election, I, the girl who secretly went out to deliver letters for the young lady, would have been beaten to death with a stick. ”

This rumor is actually aimed at Concubine Xianji?

Shen Hao only felt unbelievable, and even had a sense of absurd child's play.

This is certainly not true!

Mrs. Meng's eyes were leisurely, and her voice was leisurely: "But then we left, and this rumor did not subside." It was the Huzhou Mansion that burned two women who were talking nonsense to death, so that everyone was shocked and kept silent about it. But,"

Mrs. Meng's face seemed to be smiling, "After that, there were suddenly countless business wizards in Jiangnan. Shen Detong of your Shen family became Shen Bancheng; His Tong family quietly controlled Chase Bank; There is also a Mr. Beizhu who became famous, accumulated a lot of wealth in three or two years, and lived in seclusion between Bian Mountain and Yushui. ”

There was a soft sound, and the leaning on her arm seemed to be unstable, and moved slightly.

"The most interesting thing is that in just three or five years, Shen Bancheng fell ill and died, and the Tong family stood on the bright side but was not good at business, and Mr. Beizhu was rumored to be poor and nowhere to be found."
