Chapter 136: Imprisonment
The steward was about to argue with the two officials and wanted to leave Meng Lianyi behind.
But after seeing Meng Lianyi glaring at him, he instantly calmed down.
That's right, at the moment, it seems that someone is deliberately targeting them, if they stop it at this time, both of them will fold in, and I am afraid that if they want to rescue Meng Lianyi in the future, they will not have a chance.
Now the top priority can only protect himself first, go back and tell the owner about this matter, only in this way can the owner save Meng Lianyi in time.
After thinking of this, the steward instantly calmed down, and he no longer stopped a few officials.
When the official saw the steward leave, he sneered and refocused his attention on Meng Lianyi.
He said to his two subordinates: "Don't take people away yet." ”
When the two younger brothers heard this, they hurriedly walked towards Meng Lianyi, and were about to make a move on Meng Lianyi.
Meng Lianyi frowned, raised his head a little displeased and said coldly: "No need, I will leave by myself." ”
After speaking, he directly shook off the two of them and said to the official in front of him: "Lead the way." ”
There was no fear at all.
The official who took the lead frowned slightly when he looked at Meng Lianyi like this, but he didn't say anything, he glanced at the two officials behind him and then Dabu left.
After some of the officials left, the shopkeeper's face instantly turned ugly, he walked quickly to the butler's side, and said anxiously: "Butler Bai, the owner was arrested by these people, what are we going to do now." ”
The steward frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Go and prepare the carriage, I will hurry back to Qingshui County and tell Miss about this matter, and now I am afraid that only Miss can save the owner." ”
Hearing what the steward said, the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and beckoned his men to drive the carriage.
In no time, the carriage was ready.
The steward didn't care about anything else, and immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards Qingshui County.
Qingshui County.
Bai Wanning waited at the door early after receiving the news that Meng Lianyi was about to return, and this time Meng Lianyi took action to solve the matter in Fan County very quickly.
And after she made a move, she solved the big problem encountered by the Bai family cloth village before, and by the way, she also had a good relationship with the rest of the cloth merchants.
All this made Bai Wanning extremely excited, so she waited for Meng Lianyi early.
It's just that seeing that the time has come, but Meng Lianyi hasn't come back yet, Bai Wanning is a little apprehensive in her heart.
It's just that after thinking of Meng Lianyi's supernatural ability, he forced himself to calm down.
It was at this time that I finally saw a carriage speeding by.
Bai Wanning hurriedly got up and greeted her, but as soon as the carriage curtain opened, it was not Meng Lianyi who came out, but Bai Steward.
Seeing the anxious look on the white steward's face, Bai Wanning immediately sensed that something was wrong, frowned slightly, and then said with some doubts: "What about Meng Lianyi?" Why didn't she come back with you? But what happened on the way? ”
Hearing this, the white steward hurriedly shook his head and said anxiously to Bai Wanning: "Miss, it's not that something happened on the road, it was when I was in Fan County, the people in the yamen said that the owner was involved in a murder case and needed to be investigated, so the owner was taken to the yamen cell and locked up." ”
"What?" Hearing what the steward said, Bai Wanning stood up in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about, this ...... How is this possible, how could Meng Lianyi offend the people in the official government, is there any misunderstanding. ”
The steward also shook his head with a bitter face when he heard this, and then told everything that had happened during this time.
Hearing what the steward said, Bai Wanning frowned.
I thought about everything I had just said, but I didn't find anything wrong.
So he stood up with a frown and said, "In addition to these things in Fan County during this time, have you not offended the rest of the people?" ”
Hearing this, the steward nodded hesitantly.
Bai Wanning didn't want to believe it, gritted her teeth and said, "What happened during this time?" You tell me everything. ”
The steward heard her say this, thought about it, and then suddenly opened his mouth as if he had thought of something: "By the way, the Li family often sent invitations to see the owner during this time, but the owner never agreed, and the Li family did not send an invitation until yesterday, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen today, and now we only offend the Li family in Fan County, and I don't know if this matter has anything to do with them." ”
Hearing him say this, Bai Wanning suddenly remembered that Li Chengjiang had sent someone to assassinate Meng Lianyi's husband before.
Thinking of this, Bai Wanning instantly slapped the table angrily and stood up.
"That's right, this must have been done by the Li family."
These people are simply lawless.
Bai Wanning knew that Li Chengjiang wanted to assassinate Meng Lianyi's husband before, and when he learned that Meng Lianyi beat up the people sent by Li Chengjiang and sent them to the yamen, he felt very relieved, but he didn't expect that this person would not die and come to the door again. ”
This time the matter is so obvious, who else could it be if Li Chengjiang didn't do it?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "It must have been Li Chengjiang's doing, if it doesn't work, I have to discuss this matter with my father." ”
With that, he hurried to his father's study.
Although the Bai family has fallen now, Master Bai also has some friendship with the local county order, and because of the perennial tax payment, the Bai family knows a lot of people in the government.
So in this case, I can only ask my father for help.
Thinking that Meng Lianyi had caused Li Chengjiang that big trouble for their shop, Bai Wanning felt a little annoyed in her heart.
I already knew that Fan County was the territory of the Li family, and I also knew that Li Chengjiang had bad intentions towards Meng Lianyi, so he should have gone to Fan County this time, so why did he let Meng Lianyi pass.
If you had gone by yourself, you wouldn't have caused such trouble.
Bai Wanning blamed herself very much in her heart and quickened her pace.
After arriving at the door of the Bai family's master's study, he took the lead in pushing the door and walking in without waiting to knock on the door.
Master Bai was writing leisurely, and suddenly saw his daughter walking in with a anxious face, his brows furrowed slightly, he put down the brush in his hand and said to his impatient daughter: "What happened, why are you so panicked?" ”
Hearing what her father said, Bai Wanning sighed and told her father what had happened recently.
After speaking, he spoke: "Dad, Bai Wanning was framed by the Li family for the sake of our Bai family, and now Meng Lianyi is suffering in prison, you must think of a way quickly, you can't help this matter." ”
