The story told by Zhan Belly is very much in line with the public's consistent taste for slander, and it can be summed up in one sentence: "The disaster of destruction is terrible!" Just because of the wind, the wanderer had a glimpse of that day."

Under his colorful interpretation, the onlookers actually believed it, and their eyes at Meng Shifu Lang were extremely unkind, and even the friends who "helped" Meng Shifu Lang at the beginning also added a little bit of unconfidence in their hearts - there seems to be a precedent for Fifteen Lang to molest a woman from a good family in public, is it really because of the momentary lust that makes him dizzy, and he has such evil thoughts?

Only Meng Shilang was full of grievances, and he was simply indignant.

He is profligate, and when he sees a handsome eldest girl and a little daughter-in-law, he does sometimes come forward to laugh and hook up, but he is dignified and wants his children, as for such a thing as acting for a widow? Wasn't he picked up by the elders of the family earlier, and even his mother couldn't protect him?!

But he questioned with these words, and Zhan retorted: "It is precisely because you are afraid of the punishment of your relatives that you dare not come hard, and plan to transfer Zhao Dalang first, so that when you contact Zhao's second daughter-in-law, you don't worry about being exposed, so that everyone knows, Zhan has no relationship with Meng Lang, it is you who inquired about my availability, so I took the initiative to make friends, three days ago, in a wine shop in Zhongcheng, you coerced and lured me, how to make Zhao Dalang fill the army, the reason why I filled the army with many families in the dead Yong family, is also because you made suggestions later, said that in this way, it can confuse the public, so as not to let the Zhao family realize that it is only aimed at his family, and Meng Jun said that the people are ignorant, and they will definitely be deterred by the imperial court's conscription order, so even many officials will not theorize, but will praise me for my ability to do things, and show that I am confused for a while, so that I believe in your temptation. ”

Then put forward the evidence: "If Xue Shaoyin doesn't believe it, you might as well ask Luo Liulang to ask." ”

Zhan belly sneered: "I only woke up a little at this time, no wonder Meng Shilang and I just met not long ago, Brother Ling Meng Jiulang came later, without saying a word, he drank Ling Shilang back to the house, I am afraid that I also noticed that you want to do evil things, Luo Liulang and Brother Ling were not in harmony, I heard that Brother Ling was present, and I also rushed to question, the two had a dispute, but it was witnessed by many diners!" ”

Coincidentally, at the scene, there was indeed a gentleman who witnessed the dispute between Luo and Meng, and couldn't help but testify: "It is true, just a few days ago, Luo Liumeng Jiu and the two had a dispute, and Zhan Belly and Meng Shishilang were present at the time. ”

So it caused a big uproar, and the evidence was conclusive.

Although Zhan Belly did not conspire with Luo Liulang, he was quite confident, Luo Liulang was already on the same page as Meng Jiulang, and he was indeed present that day, where would he excuse Meng Shilang?

Lu Li saw that Meng Shishilang was so angry that his face turned red, but "you, you, me, and me" couldn't defend their innocence, and shook their heads secretly.

With a light blow, he ordered Luo Liulang to be questioned.

It turned out that he had also heard Shi Niang say that Luo Liulang should have the heart of sincerity, if this person still had some sense, he would not help Mao Wei suppress Taiyuan Meng for those small grievances at this time, although it will not confirm that his stomach is dirty, but he will also get out of the matter.

Lu Li also had no intention of returning Meng Shilang's innocence immediately, but once he came to this gentleman, he should indeed be taught a lesson on the spot, and he could be more cautious in his actions in the future; Moreover, after this accident, the Meng clan can see that the Mao Wei party's intentions are so conducive to winning the Meng clan to comply with the new policy in the future and take a clear stand.

Unexpectedly, Luo Liulang had been reminded by Meng Feidi that he had already detained and interrogated the messenger, and was suddenly summoned, but he came prepared.

carried the traitor to the scene and threw it to the ground: "Xue Shaoyin, I listened to the report of the house slave that day, and learned that Meng Jiulang appeared in the wine shop, and when I got there, I did see the presence of Zhan Belly and Meng Shilang, but a conversation with Meng Jiulang has cleared up the misunderstanding, and after Meng Jiulang reminded him, he also suspected that there seemed to be something strange about that day, and he went back and interrogated the messenger slave, but he learned from him that he had received the benefits of Zhan Belly, and he intended to lead me to the wine shop that day, and I didn't know what the intention of Zhan Belly was, so I didn't want to send it, didn't expect to get into trouble today, so he handed over the slave of the traitor to Shao Yin for trial. ”

The words were ruthless, and the matter was "confusing" again, and then it led to an uproar.

Zhan Belly didn't expect Luo Liulang to be reluctant to testify, and even found out the person who was induced by him to buy with benefits, and at this time, he also swept away the "bright and fair" posture, and stood at the bottom stunned.

Although Yu Yong knew Mao Wei's plan framework, he didn't know the details, such as the trouble of showing his belly, which was not expected by him at all. Since Mao Fuyin dares to use his belly, he will never set himself on fire!

At this time, he looked more weak than his belly, and secretly looked at Xue Shaoyin, but when he met Lu Li's cold eyes, Yu Yong couldn't help but lower his head, and even couldn't help but take a step back.

But listening to Xue Shaoyin said: "Zhan Ya Gong's words can only prove that he had several dealings with Meng Shilang, but it cannot prove that Meng Shi Lang coerced and lured him to do illegal things, and there are also Luo Liulang and his servants as evidence, but it can be confirmed that Zhan Ya Shi had premeditated and deliberately led Luo Liulang to the scene that day, causing disputes, so as to teach many wine shop diners to witness his talks with Meng Shishilang, so the official thought that Zhan Ya Shi had the intention to frame Meng Shishilang. ”

Meng Shishilang breathed a sigh of relief: "Shao Yin Mingjian, because I took the initiative to make friends with my belly, I did have a few back and forth with him, it was nothing more than ordinary eating and drinking, I had never seen the lady of the Zhao family at all, how could I fall in love at first sight?" Show your belly, you still don't tell the truth, who instructed you to do illegal things and try to defile my Taiyuan Mengshi! ”

Meng Shishilang is not stupid, and he also understands at this time, he has no grudges and hatreds with Zhan Belly, and he has not offended others, why did Zhan Belly target him and make such a big move? This matter, from the very beginning, was aimed at the entire Meng family, thinking of his grandfather's advice, Meng Shilang almost decided that the mastermind behind the scenes was Mao Wei, but the stakes were very high, and he was definitely not a young man who could take responsibility, so he just questioned his belly, and did not point the sword at Mao Wei based on speculation.

"Luo Liulang must have been bought by Meng Jiulang, and that person is a servant of Luo Liulang, how can Shao Yin not suspect that he was instructed by Luo Liulang, and the purpose is to exonerate Meng Shilang?" Zhan Belly is not willing to admit his guilt.

"This official asked you, you said that Meng Shilang coerced and lured you, so what coercion did he use, and what kind of lure? Although Meng Shishilang is a child of a family, he has never entered the office, according to what you said, he does not dare to alarm the elders in the family, a white body, if you don't have any handles, how can you achieve coercion? Of course, Lu Li would not let Zhan Belly get away with quibbles.

"This ...... It was a mistake by the villain, Meng Shilang did not coerce, it was a lure, and he promised the villain to give 100,000 yuan in gratitude after the villain was completed. ”

Lu Li sneered: "Although you are a servant, your father Zhanwang is in the business of lending money, and the three pawn shops in Jinyang City are all your family's property, and the annual profit is at least more than 100,000. ”

How did he think that Lu Li knew everything about the family business of a mere servant of him, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

"If you still don't confess, why did you frame Meng Shilang?" Lu Li picked up a token in his hand, obviously, if he showed his stomach and wanted to use strong words, Xue Shaoyin would be tortured in public.

Although Lu Li could not rashly punish Yu Yong, who was also an official of the imperial court, he was just a servant of the court, not to mention torture, as Taiyuan Shaoyin, Lu Li had every right to execute him.

The hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, he stays in the green mountains, he is not afraid of running out of firewood, and he has these "famous words" in his mind, and he gritted his teeth: "The villain is indeed not angry with Meng Shilang's domineering, so he wants to take advantage of this accident." ”

Seeing that he confessed, Lu Li did not continue to ask him.

Even if he confessed to Mao Wei with this belly, he couldn't rely on this official to ask Mao Wei for the crime, even if the lawsuit went to the Penglai Palace, but the cause of this case was just the execution of the conscription order, and the Queen Mother might let Yu Yong carry this black pot, but she would never ask Mao Wei for it.

"If you have pleaded guilty, the judge will put you in prison, and the punishment will be determined at a later date." Lu Li saw that it was good and took it, and looked at Yu Yong: "Yu Ming Mansion, this official is under the management of your Taiyuan County, if you don't have your permission, you will not dare to act such an illegal evil, and even in order to get you off the hook, the fouling is instructed by Meng Shishilang, your Taiyuan order, although the official has no right to directly ask for punishment, of course, he will not cover up, the official will inevitably explain your crime to the saint and the queen mother, therefore, from today, you will be temporarily suspended pending trial." ”

To put it mildly, Lu Li does not have such a big authority, above him, there are Mao Wei, Taiyuan Yin, and King Jin, Taiyuan Mu.

"Today's matter, of course, this official will also report to Mao Fuyin and His Royal Highness first, I believe the two will make a fair decision."

Yu Yong only lamented.

At this time, a few Mao Wei party members who were mixed in the crowd saw that Lu Li was really "fooled", although he could not confirm Meng Shilang's guilt, but he was not discouraged, and immediately confused the public: "Since Shaoyin has judged that the officials are lawless, when will the innocent civilians be released?" ”

Zhao Yu was extremely convinced of Xue Shaoyin at this time, and no matter how carefree she was, but those few men in the family who were supposed to serve were worried, and hurriedly echoed: "When will Shaoyin release the innocent?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Lu Li said: "Those who find out that they are not serving properly can return home immediately, but those who should have served are ......."

"Shao Yin, it's not that the small people and others disobey the conscription order, in fact, the government has not issued a compensation in accordance with the law, Shao Yin can visit, except for non-military households, in addition to the conscription order, in addition to the consistent money at the beginning, how many households can receive a quarterly allowance of grain and millet? Even if the son of the family dies in battle, he will not be compensated. ”

This remark once again caused the discussion to boil, although the children of the family served in the army, they simply did not look down on these meager compensation, but for the majority of the common people, this compensation can solve the suffering of hunger and cold, and the sons of each family are willing to go to the battlefield to serve the monarchy, and the monarchy should take care of the families of the warriors, but before the king of Jin went to the domain, the Taiyuan Mansion did not issue the compensation on time, Mao Wei argued that the tax was insufficient, and even the military needs were stretched to meet the needs, so he could not take care of the military family pension.

How "above board" is this reason? Even if Lu Li took this opportunity to impeach Mao Wei, but the military needs have not been truly resolved, the Queen Mother will inevitably take military supplies first and understand Mao Wei's "difficulties", and the Queen Mother is not willing to use local taxes and tributes to support military supplies for many years, otherwise she will not agree to try the new policy in Taiyuan Mansion.

"This official promised in public today that in the future, Taiyuan Mansion will not default on the compensation of military families!"
