Song Nian said in a deep voice: "It seems that you don't know me very well, and you don't even know why I don't speak." ”

Ling Huan decided that he was inexplicable: "How would I know why you didn't speak?" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Song Nian's mouth: "Yes, after all, I haven't grown up with you." ”

Ling Huan realized it later, covered his mouth and snickered, but his eyes looked at him brightly: "Are you jealous?" ”

The roots of Song Nian's ears were a little red, and he was stubborn: "What is jealous, a man can endure hardship, and he will never be jealous!" ”

Ling Huanxiao bent his eyes, hooked his sleeve, and lowered his voice: "Okay, okay, I know you're unhappy." But don't you compare yourself to adults, what do you compare to adults? Besides adults, you are the most important thing to me. ”

The little maid is pure-minded, and rarely says such nice words, so Song Xiucai was immediately fluttering.

As for Lord Meng's more important things than him, that's nothing, sooner or later, he will be more important than Meng Xingci! Song Xiucai is ambitious.

"What do you think adults will do?" Song Nian asked.

Ling Huan said firmly: "Although I don't know the adult's method, I know that the adult is very angry and angry, and he will never let those people go." Just watch, the Wei family will definitely not end well. ”

Song Nian raised his eyebrows, the Wei family? He thought it would be the Bai family, but he didn't ask.

Meng Xingci adopted an attitude of ignoring the people who were making trouble outside, and the people made even more trouble, and the people of Hedong were talking about Meng Xingci.

Those people stayed outside the county government for five days, and Song Nian received news that Yu Mingfu, a doctor from Yushitai, was passing by here because he was returning home to save his relatives, and knew that the people were making trouble.

The Imperial Historical Observatory has the right to impeach hundreds of officials, and if it is true, the emperor must pay attention to it and investigate it thoroughly. This was the privilege given to Yushitai by Emperor Taizu back then, so no one in the Manchu Dynasty wanted to provoke Yushitai.

However, if the Imperial Observatory wants to impeach an official, the evidence must be conclusive, otherwise there is also the crime of abuse of power.

Emperor Taizu was also painstaking back then.

Song Nian reminded Meng Xingci: "My lord, we have to solve this matter. Lord Yu has a strong personality, if he knows, I am afraid that he will impeach the adult. ”

Ling Huan frowned: "Then the old man is still alive?" ”

"You know him?" Song Nian asked.

Ling Huan nodded, "Lord Yu has a son, and there was a quota in the Ministry of Industry at that time, so Lord Yu wanted his son to return to Beijing to join the Ministry of Industry." At that time, there was another person competing with Yu Gongzi, who was more suitable than Yu Gongzi, so the old lady chose that person. Yu Gongzi failed to return to Beijing, so he was released. On the way, Yu Gongzi's boat capsized, and Yu Gongzi was unfortunately killed. Lord Yu always thought that the old man was targeting him and deliberately let his son go. At the beginning, our Meng family also sent people to mourn, but they were all driven out by Mrs. Yu. ”

Song Nian was silent for a while, it's over, it's dead.

Sure enough, on the second day, Yu Mingfu came to the door and asked Meng Xingci in person why he wanted to increase taxes for the common people.

Meng Xingci had a calm attitude towards Mingfu, with neither awe nor guilt, and only entertained him as a colleague.

Yu Mingfu's little servant showed indignation on his face, this Meng family harmed his young master, and he didn't care about it at all.

Meng Xingci let Ling Huan serve tea, and Yu Mingfu looked at the delicate porcelain, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

"Lord Meng's life is exquisite and elegant, and even being an official has to carry such a delicate teacup." Yu Mingfu said mockingly.

Meng Xingci smiled and said indifferently: "There shouldn't be an inevitable connection between going out to be an official and what to drink tea, right?" ”

"It's true that there is no connection, but Lord Meng's official is lively, so that the people of the whole city can scold you Lord Meng, and this ability cannot be found in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!" Yu Mingfu said with a sneer.

Meng Xingci said lightly: "I heard that Lord Yu is going home to save his relatives and passing through here this time, which is a private trip, not official business, why don't you return to Beijing as soon as possible?" ”

"You are presumptuous!" The little guy next to Yu Mingfu reprimanded angrily.

Isn't this tantamount to saying that Yu Mingfu is nosy? This is exactly what Meng Xingci meant.

Yu Mingfu squinted, his rigid and serious face was expressionless: "It seems that the official is meddling, the official remembers that Lord Meng is young and does things indiscriminately, so he wanted to remind him kindly, since Lord Meng doesn't appreciate it, the official won't say much." However, what you see and hear in Hedong, the official will truthfully report to the emperor and ask the emperor to decide! As he spoke, he arched his hand: "Emperor Taizu's Shangfang sword can't fall into the hands of the virtuous and incompetent!" ”

After Yu Mingfu finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked out.

Meng Xingci personally sent Yu Mingfu out: "Lord Yu is leaving?" Lord Yu stays for dinner, right? ”

Yu Mingfu was so angry by her attitude that he had a cold face, "Don't dare to disturb Lord Meng, let's go!" ”

Meng Xingci looked at the back of him leaving, disagreed, and turned back to the main hall.

Song Nian said bitterly: "It's over, this is to completely offend Lord Yu." ”

The adults in his family are good at everything, why don't they give in?

Meng Xingci smiled, but his eyes were cold: "This is what the Bai family found to target me, I just kneel in front of him, and I won't let him be merciful to me except to make him laugh." ”

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and Meng Xing said: "This is the hometown of Lord Yu in Jinzhou, and it takes seven or eight days to cross Hedong." It's a passing by! ”

Song Nian's face was ugly, and he was really found by the Bai family.

Meng Xingci leaned back in his chair easily: "I told Bai Zhilun that silence is the best resistance, and now it's my turn." ”

Song Nian put his mind at ease, since Meng Xingci knew it in his heart.

After Yu Mingfu went back, he immediately wrote a memo, writing everything he saw and heard in Hedong. Yu Mingfu has been in the Yushitai for many years and is very good at writing articles. He never mentioned the tax evasion and concealment of the Hedong Shi clan, only said that Meng Xing's resignation to collect taxes caused the people to live in despair and hardship, and said that the people were angry and the people of Hedong were not happy.

His writing is brilliant, and the people who hear it are sad and those who see it cry, which is very touching.

As a result, Meng Xingci became the first official to be impeached since Zhao Jin ascended the throne, and the Manchu civil and military forces discussed it a lot.

The scholars in Hedong also knew about Meng Xingci's impeachment, and they all waited for the emperor to condemn Meng Xingci.

The hearts of the people in the entire Hedong are floating, and the scholars are ready to move.

Meng Xingci didn't care what others thought, he still didn't move.

On this day, Meng Xingci sent someone to summon Bai Zhilun, and after Bai Zhilun arrived at the Taishou Mansion, he didn't know what the two said, so Meng Xingci dropped the inkstone in the study.

Bai Zhilun left the study with a pale face, and the two parted unhappily.

Everyone in Hedong speculated that Meng Xingci was angry with the culprit because he was impeached. After Yu Mingfu came to Hedong, Bai Weiyi visited him in person.

But in the afternoon of the same day, Wei Hongxing arrived at the Taishou Mansion.
