Although Lin Yan and the others are full of confidence, after all, it involves the only son of a county king, as well as some other powerful children, if it is not difficult, it is impossible.

However, in the face of such injustice, we can't turn a blind eye, so the only way to do this is to go back to Chang'an City first, and think about it in the long run!

A few people summed up a little, and then said goodbye to the village chief and his wife, and ran towards Chang'an City.

Now that there are still a few days before the deadline for the assessment, if it goes well, maybe we will be able to deal with this matter before the end.

The journey back is not close, but fortunately, the strength of several people is not low, so it took about half a day to come to Chang'an City.

After entering the city, several people decided to let Wei Meng go to the small courtyard where Lin Yan lived to live temporarily. After all, the situation is unknown now, and the rest of the people will go home first to explain the situation, and by the way, they will probe the elders.

If Wei Meng is brought back to the mansion from the beginning, not to mention his identity as a death row prisoner, in case things don't work out, it will be difficult to have room for maneuver.

The few people separated, Lin Yan and Mingya took Wei Meng towards the small courtyard where they lived, while Li Zongsheng, Xu Dahai and Xue Nishang went home to find help.

This matter can't be rushed, and seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yan bought some meat and vegetables on the way, and prepared to go back to cook and eat. After all, Wei Meng is also a death row prisoner, and it will be a trouble to go to the restaurant in case he is recognized.

Although it is basically impossible to be so coincidental, Lin Yan still adheres to the principle of being cautious, and more is better than less.

After a while, the three of them came to the small courtyard where Lin Yan lived, pushed the door in, and just saw Old Man Yang with his back bent and sweeping the yard with a big broom!

Lin Yan lifted the meat and vegetables in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, I'll cook at night, let's eat some together!"

Old man Yang glanced at Lin Yan lightly and said, "No!" After saying that, he continued to sweep the ground by himself.

Lin Yan gave the things to Wei Meng's hands, and then stepped forward quickly, reaching out to take the broom in the old man's hand, and said at the same time: "Uncle Yang, you rest for a while, let me come!"

Who knew that this old man still didn't appreciate it, and the hand holding the broom was sideways, and Lin Yan grabbed it.

Old man Yang said angrily: "What? Do you think my old man's body is not good, or do you show that you are young and strong? Don't you look down on me! ”

Lin Yan couldn't cry or laugh at this time, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really saw that the old man was old and wanted to help, who knew that this old man's temper was still so weird, it seems that there was a reason why Li Zongsheng was cowering in front of this old man before!

Just as Lin Yan was embarrassed and stunned in place, Mingya walked up quickly, took Old Man Yang's arm and said, "Grandpa Yang, just rest for a while, Xiao Yanzi is young, let him come if you have the strength to work!"

When Old Man Yang heard this, he smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched, just like a blooming peony flower.

Then the old man threw the broom to Lin Yan and said, "Give it to you, remember to sweep carefully!" Ahem......"

Lin Yan agreed, silently took the broom and swept the yard, still thinking in his heart: Who are you provoking and who are you provoking? The output is not good!

However, when did Mingya have such a good relationship with this stubborn old man, I will have to ask her later.

Lin Yan naturally didn't know that when he was immersed in making small toys (which he had always thought was a handicraft) some time ago, Mingya was bored alone, and gradually became familiar with this lonely old man.

Later, she found out that this old man just looked scary, his murder was all pretended, but in fact, his heart was softer than anyone else. He often chatted with Mingya, saying that she was just like his granddaughter, and often cooked food for her, and Mingya often chatted with the old man, so the two naturally became close. I don't know, I think they are real grandchildren!

Since he regards Mingya as his granddaughter, he naturally can't look down on Lin Yan, a stinky boy! This is also human nature!

Looking at this scene in front of him, Wei Meng was also stunned at the gate of the courtyard, he really didn't expect to see such a "warm" scene, although Lin Yan didn't feel it.

As for Wei Meng's identity, for some reason, Old Man Yang didn't ask, anyway, this old man usually looks indifferent to other things, so it saves Lin Yan from making excuses to prevaricate.

Lin Yan beckoned Wei Meng to enter the door, and after sweeping the yard, he began to cook. Don't look at his age, the food he cooks is good.

It's no wonder that he has lived in a mountain village since he was a child, and the children there are all in charge of the family. Cooking does not need to be deliberately learned, as if it has become a survival instinct, deeply engraved in the bones.

Although he only knows how to cook some home-cooked food, it is not bad, at least better than Mingya, a little girl. I thought that this girl would do a little bit of it, but after getting along for a while, Lin Yan knew that this girl didn't know anything about cooking.

Let her get an egg drop soup, she can cook unpeeled eggs with wildflowers that I don't know where to pick; Ask her to cook a fish soup, she can throw the live fish directly into the pot, and almost knock the lid off the pot......

The only thing she can do is knife skills, after all, she is also a knife maker. However, her way of chopping vegetables is a bit appalling!

Hold a kitchen knife in each hand on the left and right, and then work together, the knife is flying fast, I know that it is chopping vegetables, and I don't know which family's "little butcher has just grown up"!

Over time, Lin Yan didn't dare to let her cook anymore, as long as he was free, he contracted the food task for the two of them, after all, he really didn't want to experience those dark dishes anymore.

After a while, the meal was ready, Lin Yan brought the hot meal to the hall, set up a full table, and beckoned a few people to eat.

Even if you count the newcomer Wei Meng and the old man Yang who ate together, there are only four people, so Lin Yan only prepared six dishes and one soup. After all, you can't eat too much, it's shameful to waste, and he thinks he's still very thrifty!

After the four of them sat down, Lin Yan hurriedly greeted everyone enthusiastically to eat, and said to Old Man Yang with a smile: "Uncle Yang, come on, come on, try the white-cut chicken I made."

Old man Yang took a pair of chopsticks, put them in his mouth and chewed them, then glanced at Lin Yan and said, "Taichai!"

Then Mingya took a piece of chopsticks and sliced meat into Old Man Yang's bowl, and said, "Grandpa Yang, how about trying this green pepper slice?"

Old man Yang chewed with a smile, and couldn't stop praising in his mouth: "Not bad, good, delicious!"

Seeing this, the corners of Lin Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought: This old man! The meals are all made by me, Mingya, this girl will let you eat it, you will say that it is delicious, and if I let you eat it, you will pick the thorns, do you want to treat it so differently!

Having said that, but this old man has eaten a lot at all, looking at his wind-swept style, Lin Yan and Wei Meng glanced at each other, and hurriedly moved their chopsticks, for fear that they would be snatched away by the old man if they were slow.

After dinner, Wei Meng lived with Lin Yan temporarily, and the two slept on a kang after a day, which was also ...... Fate!

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Zongsheng and several people came one after another. Since this courtyard was originally found by Li Zongsheng, he led the way, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to find Lin Yan.

Seeing that several people were coming to look for him, Old Man Yang also saw that a few people had something to discuss, so he took the excuse to go out for a stroll, looking at the back of the old man disappearing in the distance, Lin Yan shook his head with a smile, thinking: This old man is sometimes quite cute!

Li Zongsheng also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, there were not many people he was afraid of, but this old man was one of them, every time he saw him, he was stunned, and now that he was gone, he could be a little more relaxed.

Now that all the people left in the courtyard are insiders, Lin Yan asked straight to the point, "How is the matter?"

Xu Dahai's face was a little ugly when he heard this, and said: "I'm sorry, I told my father about it yesterday, although he is also very sympathetic to Brother Wei Meng's experience, but after all, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and this matter is not under his jurisdiction, if you have to get involved, it will be overstepping your authority, but it will be disadvantageous!"

Xue Nishang on the side also continued: "The situation on my side is similar, grandma said that it is more prudent to act in Chang'an as my father, military attachés interfering in government affairs has been taboo since ancient times, it's okay to say hello, but it may be counterproductive if you interfere."

Wei Meng was a little disappointed when he heard this, and Lin Yan also had some premonitions about this result. After all, in the officialdom, each has its own difficulties, and sometimes the life of the family is tied to the person in charge, and it is impossible to take risks for an outsider.

They may be sympathetic to Wei Meng, but they will never gamble on their future for this sympathy, this kind of irrational thing cannot appear in officialdom!

However, he Lin Yan is not an official, just a civilian, so the gamble is a gamble!

Li Zongsheng on the side saw that several people didn't ask him, and immediately became anxious, and said, "My father is the most suitable person to deal with this matter, why don't you ask me?"

Lin Yan glanced up at him and said, "What?" Your dad also has something unspeakable? ”

Li Zongsheng shook his head and said, "No, my father agreed, and asked me to come and inform me first, and the official will come to take Wei Meng to the court in a while, and he will personally preside over this matter!"

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, obviously Lord Shaoyin's reaction was a little unexpected for him. According to what he originally thought, even if Lord Shao Yin was willing to uphold justice for Wei Meng, then it should be considered in the long run!

Such a rapid response speed and direct handling method really made Lin Yan a little unexpected.

And Wei Meng on the side has clenched his fists excitedly, he has been waiting for this moment for more than two years, whether he can avenge his wife this time and wash away his grievances depends on the future trip to the court!

A few people briefly discussed the next details, and while they were talking, a team of officials entered the door of the small courtyard, and the official led by them asked, "Who is Wei Meng?"
