Tang Kuan once said that let Su Bei let go of his hands and feet to handle the case, even if he offended him and the fourth uncle Tang Jiong, it didn't matter, anyway, Su Bei would leave the Guogong Mansion soon, and at that time it would be said that it was because of the result of offending the fourth son. Then, the face of the fourth prince will be restored.

This way to save face is the easiest way, but it is not the only way.

Tang Kuan has been in Fengyue places all the year round, reading countless women, and through a conversation with Tang Mei, he can see Tang Mei's thoughts. He felt that the little sister seemed to have some affection for the son-in-law. Since this is the case, then he retracted what he wanted to say, and just said something about Qi Yu to Su Bottle.

Qi Yu's case actually alarmed the emperor, which Tang Kuan did not expect, but this was a good thing for Tang Kuan. In this way, if he goes to negotiate with Wanhualou again, he will have more bargaining chips.

Tell you about these art galleries, there is nothing in Luoyang City that I Tang Shilang can't do. How can Qi Yu worry about it, Lao Tzu can poke this thing to the sky! That's right, I handled this case, and I asked our aunt, a small one from Jiupin to handle it quickly. After I was done, I cleared up the relationship with him again. Now he is the chief of the Eight Grades Arrest of the Criminal Constitutional Division.

Then Tang Kuan happily left Qinxiang Xiaozhu, and before leaving, he deliberately praised Su Bottle in front of Tang Mei.

……

After the prince of Qi and other seven people proposed marriage, and was rejected by Tang Mei in a row, some people said that Tang Mei had someone in her heart, and she didn't want to let her son-in-law go. It has been observed that the son-in-law is bulging, and it should be very large. When the news spread, some people scolded Tang Mei for being shameless. must have followed the prince first, and then followed the little white face, what a cheap embryo.

However, this kind of rumor and rumors can't reach Tang Mei's ears for a while, and no one will say this in front of Tang Mei.

It was already the second day, thinking of the fourth brother's praise of Su Bottle, Tang Mei was still happy, but she was a little dissatisfied at the same time. Yesterday, he asked Su Bottle to propose, but today he was not in a hurry to do the propose, and he actually ran out to handle the case. And at such a time, he has not returned.

"Rewarded by the emperor, did he get rich? Got the confidence, the wings are hard? Tang Mei guessed.

Seeing that the county lord's face was not good, Mama Wang said, "How much money can he have?" Even if there is, it's not all the county lord's? If the county lord is not at ease, let the old slave go to his house and rummage through it. ”

Su Bei had just received one hundred taels of silver from Yongkang County's Ling Ximen Kan, of which ten taels were given to Mei Ran. Although the "Jin Liang" of the Liang Dynasty was different from that of later generations, a hundred taels of silver was also quite heavy to carry on the body. So he only carried ten taels in his pocket, and the remaining eighty taels remained in the snail's house.

"Snail Xiaoju" is the name he gave, and now he has only said it to Zhu Tao and Feng Die. However, the two little maids have already spread this statement, and now Tang Wan and Tang Ting know it.

Today, Xue Shilang asked Su to continue to investigate the case about Huang Bingxuan. gave Su Bottle a feeling that Xue Pang had to kill Huang Bingxuan.

Why did he target Huang Bingxuan so much, Su Bei didn't know, but of course he had to do what Lord Shilang ordered, and this Huang Bingxuan himself was not a good thing.

Also, what's going on with that wooden building corpse? Who is the suspect who escaped from Jing Xingfang? What's going on with the group of masked killers who suddenly appeared in Pingkangfang? If these questions are not clarified, Su Bottle's heart is not comfortable.

But when Huang Bingxuan was interrogated, he met an official deputy warden in prison. If it weren't for the silver fish bag that showed off the sainthood, I don't know how long I would have to rub it with him.

You must know that the royal gold and silver fish bags issued during the Tiande period were not allowed to be worn after the new emperor ascended the throne. As soon as Emperor Wanlong ascended the throne, there were no more than ten new gold and silver fish bags. This kid was able to wear a royal silverfish bag, which showed that he was close to the emperor, which scared the little old man.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he found an excuse to re-read the document, only saying that he was clumsy and didn't see it clearly just now. So he changed his amiable face, and even his eyes were gone, and he smiled, and personally went to the prison to raise the prisoner for interrogation by Master Su.

The moment he changed his face, Mei Ran couldn't help laughing. Su Bottle reached out and pinched her waist before she stopped grinning.

Su Bottle believes that although this little old man is not worthy of respect, after all, people have begun to cooperate with the work, so don't step on others again. Be a low-key person. The other party is polite, and you should be more angry. The other party is shameless, and then act with him in a high-profile manner.

After some interrogation, it didn't really matter. Su Bei could see that there were still people above Huang Bingxuan. Even if there is a new emperor, that person is still in position. But who this man was, he would not say. Su Bottle just interrogated his daughter's residence.

Through his confession to Fu Daotong, he learned that her daughter Huang Xiaojuan was his only contact with the outside world.

Then go find his daughter.

Found his daughter, who seemed to be a very simple girl. She can do some needle work, know a few words, usually work part-time jobs everywhere, and live a poor life. married someone, because he didn't have children, or because of the fall of Huang Bingxuan, he was divorced by his in-laws and blasted out of the door.

After some interrogation, I brought the neighbors to ask about her, but I didn't find anything suspicious about her.

It was already dark, and Su Bottle sent Mei Ran back to the Punishment Department Mansion and rode home. On the way, Su Bottle fell into deep thought. To say that Huang Bingxuan is the person above him, it is not enough for a buddy. Huang Bingxuan has done a lot of things for him, and now that Huang Bingxuan has fallen, how can he bear to let Huang Xiaojuan live such a poor life?

Could it be that that person's status is so high that he is not afraid of Huang Bingxuan's bite? On the contrary, if Huang Bingxuan dared to bite him, he would die faster and more miserably, and even affect his daughter?

There was no progress in the case, and Su returned home depressed.

"Su Baoyu, you're fooling around for another day!"

As soon as I walked into the Erdao Courtyard, I heard Tang Mei standing by the window and shouting. Su Bei raised his eyes to look, and Tang Mei's expression was a little strange. Not that reproachful expression, but with a wicked smile.

What is there for her to be proud of?

Su Bottle stood below with his hands behind his back and looked up at Tang Mei on the second floor: "I said Your Excellency the County Lord, can you respect my profession?" ”

Tang Mei's eyes drooped: "I didn't say that it's bad to be an official, it's just that I asked you to propose, have you done this?" ”

Su Bottle shrugged: "No money." ”

Tang Mei narrowed her eyes: "Is it expensive to hire a matchmaker?" ”

"Have you had enough? Do you really not know, or do you pretend not to? Su Bottle said helplessly: "I'll go to the matchmaker, I said to the matchmaker, I am an eight-rank official, I have a fancy to the second-grade county lord in the Guogong Mansion, you go and give me the matchmaker." Do you think the matchmaker will kick me out of the door? ”

Tang Mei couldn't help laughing: "This is true, the matchmaker will definitely not accept this scolded errand." ”

Su Bottle didn't say anything and walked to the backyard.

But as soon as he walked to the moon gate in the backyard, he heard that the back window of Qinxiang Xiaozhu was pushed open, and Tang Mei called: "Have you eaten at night?" ”

"Haven't eaten yet."

"Then come up, I have some leftovers here. And I have something to tell you. ”

It's not uncommon for a person to come home late and eat the leftovers of the family's meals. For example, parents, wives and children eat leftovers, and Su Bottle does not dislike them. Even if the little maid next door, Zhu Tao Feng Die, eats the leftovers, if he kindly invites Su Bottle to eat, he will not dislike it. But seeing that people ordered to eat leftovers in a high-spirited tone, Su Bottle felt uncomfortable. glared at Tang Mei, turned around and left.

The high-nosed and deep-eyed face of the lord of Loulan was as white as mutton fat, but at this time, his face was flushed, and it was red to his neck at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Diao Min! Unreasonable! ”

Seeing Su Bei's performance like this, the county lord gritted his teeth in anger, turned around, kicked on a few, several cases rolled, the dishes were overturned, and all kinds of meat slices and balls were scattered on the ground.

Actually, that's not leftovers. The nobles all have a separate meal system, Tang Mei eats her own, and Su's meals are always placed on a small table. If Su Bottle doesn't eat it, these good meals won't be wasted. You can give it to the slaves and maidservants of the house.

This kick was originally to vent anger. But this kick stumbled, and it was kicked over with a little toe......

The pain that pierced the heart can be imagined.

But now the pain has not yet started, because the county lord's foot is numb.

You have to wait for the numbness to pass before you can feel the pain.

Shouldn't you give it a quick rub? But there are still two big girls in the house, if you show that you are in pain, will you be embarrassed?

At this time, Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er were stunned there. They first saw the county lord standing by the window waiting for his son-in-law to get off work, and after waiting for a long time, his son-in-law finally returned. Tang Mei deliberately found fault and talked to Su Bottle. After saying a few words, she pushed open the back window again and invited her son-in-law to dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious and everything was fine. But suddenly she became angry, turned around and kicked over a few cases.

Then she didn't move.

The face that was originally red with anger quickly returned to its fair complexion, and it quickly became pale again.

"Yo, what's going on?"

Zhen Ping'er reacted first and went over to help Tang Mei. But Tang Mei threw her arm and strode back to the bedroom.

Back in the bedroom, she slammed the door shut, told no one to come in and disturb her, and then she threw off her shoes and collapsed under the covers with a painful expression, her hands covering her swollen toes.

The meatballs that fell to the floor were eaten by Zhen Ping'er, Wang Jin'er, and the county lord's big fat orange cat.

Then Zhen Ping'er asked Wang Jin'er to take care of her upstairs, and she went to the backyard to see Su Bottle.
