Chapter Fifty-Eight: Can You Afford It?
As soon as Dong Solstice sat down, he lay on the table, "Girl, my arms and legs........
"A month's elbow."
Dong Solstice immediately sat up straight, "Girl, this tea shop owner is a talkative, I'll go talk to him."
Meng Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction, "Good winter solstice, let's go."
Winter Solstice came back soon, "Girl, the owner of the tea shop said that there is nothing unusual on the street recently, but I heard that a woman ran out of Chunfeng Lou in the middle of the night, I heard that she was a crazy person, with scissors in her hand."
Meng Zhiyi asked, "What happened to the woman?"
"Naturally, I was caught back by the Spring Breeze Building, but I heard that such things are common."
Meng Zhiyi held the tea bowl and suddenly had an idea.
Instead of waiting, it's better to take the initiative.
She is also concerned about chaos, and she has been trapped in the thinking of worrying about Meng Xing, and she has forgotten about other things.
Meng Zhiyi suddenly brightened, and his expression was completely relaxed.
It's useless just to see the move, and the Xu family won't let go of the Meng family, so she has to take the initiative.
Meng Zhiyi came to his senses, went to find Lu Nanfeng, and found that he was standing in front of the door of the tavern, looking at the rice drying over there.
"Husband, are you alright?"
Lu Nanfeng turned around and took a serious look at Meng Zhiyi's eyebrows, knowing that she had gotten what she wanted.
"Alright."
Lu Nanfeng shook the two wine jugs in his hand.
Next, Meng Zhiyi didn't want to inquire about more news, bought wine and medicinal materials, went to see Chen Pojiao again, chatted about Meng Mingyue's recent state, and set off home.
When I arrived at the door, I met Zhang Escort standing at the door, obviously waiting for him.
You don't have to open your mouth, Lu Nanfeng is also interested, and he went in first.
"Miss, the salt has been found."
"That's good!"
Meng Zhiyi was so happy, "How about Zheng guarding them?"
"There were some injuries, and there were other discoveries."
The two of them chatted in a low voice as they walked around the house.
The people who robbed the salt merchants were not ordinary people, and the people of the Meng family suffered some hardships, which was inevitable.
But Mr. Zhang said that Mr. Zheng recognized that those people were not like ordinary bandits or other hooligans, but more like orderly and trained people.
For example, the secret guards are all organized.
"Maybe it's a martial artist raised by the Xu family."
"I have dealt with the boss in the Xu family's nursing home, and my skills are completely different from those people."
Zhang Huwei's tone was very affirmative.
Meng Zhiyi paid attention and told Zhang Yin to open his mouth for whatever medicine he needed, and let Zheng Huwei recuperate his injuries first.
Zhiyi-in.
Meng Xing has not heard from her side yet, although Meng Zhiyi knows that the salt has been recovered, she has also found someone to hide, and she doesn't dare to look at it herself.
Bai Shu seemed to know what Meng Zhiyi wanted to do, and gave Meng Zhiyi some lists about the Xu family.
Meng Zhiyi burned the note passed back from the winter solstice, looked at the last black name that burned out of the firelight, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
"Girl, Bai Shao has been arranged to go into the back kitchen, and she will be transferred to our yard in a few days."
"You don't have to come to Zhiyiin." Meng Zhiyi said.
On the third day of Meng's walk, Meng Zhiyi listened to Zheng Huwei's report that there were people in Bei'an County who fought with the people of Meng's Mansion for the autumn harvest, and there were deaths.
The reason is that the people of the Meng Mansion are forced to buy, and the price is very low, some people are angry, so they quarrel, and the Meng family does not say a word, and orders people to beat people to death.
Zhang Huwei quickly presented the foundation of the group of people who bought rice in front of Meng Zhiyi.
In the evening, Meng Zhiyi learned that the salt merchant's family was making trouble in Meng's salt store, and galloped on the horse, and in the middle of the way, a dog suddenly jumped out and was directly trampled to the ground by Meng Zhiyi's galloping horse.
The horse's front hooves soar into the air
, threw Meng Zhiyi's slender body out of an arc in mid-air, and then forcibly pulled it back.
Although she reacted extremely quickly, Meng Zhiyi still felt that her arm was being torn and hurt.
Moreover, due to inertia, the horse's butt hit the vendor stall on the side, leaving a long blood mark.
The people around them screamed and dodged.
The alley not far away also chased out two maids and two little maids, and they were distressed and hugged the dog whose leg had been trampled on the ground in their arms.
"Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to hurt our wife's beloved dog."
One of the maids looked at Meng Zhiyi angrily.
At this time, Meng Zhiyi calmed the horse and shook his trembling arm.
"Your dog rushed out and scared my horse at a hurry. But I also have a responsibility, I can compensate you and provide treatment."
Meng Zhiyi glanced at the dog on the ground, although it was a little weak, but it should be fine to take care of it.
"Reparations? Can you afford it? Do you know how expensive my wife's dog is! You wait."
"I don't know how I'm going to die, and I don't know who my wife is, her dog is more valuable than your life."
Meng Zhiyi twisted her eyebrows, although she is now very restrained, she is not without temper.
There has never been anyone who has not taken her Meng family's daughter in her eyes like this.
"Your dog is not as badly injured as my horse, and besides, this street is meant to be ridden on horseback, so why don't you keep an eye on your dog?"
A maid snorted coldly, and turned back to inform her master.
After a while, a delicate woman in a pink skirt hurriedly walked over, first touching the dog in the arms of the little maid in distress.
"Look for death! If you dare to hurt my dog, I want you to ........."
Before the word funeral was spoken, the woman also saw Meng Zhiyi clearly.
"Meng, Miss Meng......." the woman shouted weakly.
It's normal to recognize her.
Meng Zhiyi's face was not good-looking, "Both of us are responsible, but no one has ever dared to speak so disrespectfully to me."
The woman lowered her head, "The next person is clumsy, Miss Meng don't be angry. But my dog ........"
She was very unwilling, but because of Meng Zhiyi's identity.
"Your dog is more expensive, and my horse is more precious than your dog."
The woman hurriedly knelt down, "Miss Meng, I'm sorry, I hope you don't remember the villain, I apologize to you, if you want any compensation, I will also be satisfied."
The maid on the side was still a little dazed, "Madam, but it was her horse that trampled on our dog."
Meng Zhiyi snorted coldly, "What if you trample to death?"
As soon as Meng Zhiyi's words fell, the woman slapped the woman who spoke in the face, "***, don't talk nonsense, it's our dog who is blocking Miss Meng's way."
Meng Zhiyi glanced at her, didn't let her get up from beginning to end, and left a sentence when he left, "My horse is from the Northern Plains, and you can't afford to pay for it, and send 10,000 taels to the Meng Mansion, so I won't pursue it."
"Yes."
The woman didn't answer, and after Meng Zhiyi left, she was helped by the maid and slowly stood up.
Her nails were deeply embedded in the back of the maid's hand, looking at Meng Zhiyi's departing back, and said coldly, "What is rampant? Isn't it just that you have a better background, I want to see how long you can show off your might?"
Salt rows.
The shop was already crowded with people, and before they could get closer, they heard two sharp cries, as well as the sound of children crying.
"Give back my husband, how can this make us live.......
"Evil, my husband has been doing his best for the Meng family, and finally died a tragic death, is anyone in charge?"
"Daddy....... I want Daddy.......
Some people noticed Meng Zhiyi who came from behind,
He shouted, "Miss Meng is here, listen to what she has to say."
Zhang Huwei also walked over, first glanced at Meng Zhiyi's arm, and then took the horse in Meng Zhiyi's hand.
"Good birth."
She really likes this horse, it's a bit overkill.
Seeing Meng Zhiyi coming in, Dong Solstice hurriedly and carefully grabbed her arm and asked in a low voice, "Girl, does your arm hurt?"
"It's okay."
Meng Zhiyi had already taken precautions just now.
The crowd got out of the way, and as soon as Meng Zhiyi walked in, an egg smashed on her body.
"Who smashed it?"
Escort Zhang roared in a deep voice, and the crowd immediately trembled with fear.
Meng Zhiyi had long noticed the shrinking person in the crowd, and he wanted to lead everyone to attack her, but these people were still afraid of her identity as the daughter of the Meng family and did not dare to make a mistake.
Meng Zhiyi didn't care, wiped his dress clean from the winter solstice, and walked forward to help the woman on the ground.
"The two of you mourn, the ground is cold, let's go in and talk about something."
A woman pushed Meng Zhiyi away, and if it weren't for Dong Solstice standing aside to support her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
"Say what? Do you think that little money can buy a human life? That's human life......
"We don't want anything, return my husband, return my child's father.......
The two women ignored Meng Zhiyi at all, and wailed and cried.
The surrounding people were even more embarrassed.
"The Meng family has had a lot of things recently, and a few days ago they also sent their in-laws, the Liu family, to death row."
"It's too cold-blooded, it's so bad that someone does things for you, how can you give some money and send it away? How will the rest of the mother and child live?"
"I heard that the death was very miserable, and when the master of the Meng family wanted to go to see it, he was stopped by Miss Meng, saying that it was bad luck and he was not allowed to see it."
Everyone talked about it, and finally it gradually evolved into blaming Meng Zhiyi for being arrogant and ruthless.
It sounds like someone is manipulating the direction of speech.
Meng Zhiyi's cold eyes swept over, and those people immediately closed their mouths in amusement, looking like they were afraid of her.
Some people even whispered: "I heard that the second son of the Liu family was sent in by Miss Meng, and the Meng family has silver, don't mess with her."
Meng Zhiyi ignored it, stood firm and looked at the people on the ground, "No one wants this kind of thing, blocking the salt shop here will not do you the slightest benefit, why don't you come in and let's talk."
After she finished speaking, she went straight into the house.
