Li Wei changed his tone, lowered his eyebrows and said to my mother: "Your Majesty, Rong Weichen will take him into custody first, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the prison and interrogate him carefully." This folk girl lost her lover, was deeply stimulated, and her brain was confused, which has become a danger. In the past, Weichen was benevolent, convinced that he could sit upright, not afraid of shadows, and knew that he was spreading rumors unfavorable to Weichen everywhere, and still let him wander around. But now that His Majesty is here, how about Wechen having to think about His Majesty's safety, or send him to prison, and ask His Majesty to investigate it carefully? ”

I was about to obstruct it, but my mother opened Chrysostom for the first time, so she happily promised: "Very good, just do it." ”

"Yes!" Li Wei was overjoyed, and immediately raised his hand, "Come on, escort her down." ”

I was very surprised that Aunt Mei didn't cry or make trouble when she was taken down, and she didn't beg for mercy. But those beautiful eyes looked very hollow. Through the hollow, you can glimpse her deep pain and despair, pull your heart, and follow her with a faint pain.

My eyes followed her lonely back, and my heart seemed to drift away with her.

Li Wei said some polite words to his father and mother to entertain, but I didn't hear it. It's just that when his tall back that followed Aunt Mei suddenly appeared in my eyes, I was disgusted and deeply obscene.

"Father, mother," I said, turning and eagerly pulling out what was in my heart, "my intuition tells me that Aunt Mei is telling the truth. And for some reason, although I haven't met Mei Shiqing, I actually believe in Mei Shiqing's personality. ”

"I also believe that Mei Shiqing's personality will not do anything like stealing tax silver." Mei Lang also suddenly stood up to speak for Mei Shiqing, "Mei Shiqing and Weichen used to be playmates when they were young. He is an honest and kind person, and his family style is also admirable, and the father and son often do not hesitate to suffer dumb losses in order to help others, so how can they do tax evasion? Besides, the Mei family is well-off, and if it is said that it is to raise money to catch up with the exam, it seems that it can't be done. Besides, after high school, if you are a high-ranking official, you will also have the court's grace, if you say that it is to give Aunt Mei a comfortable life, you can't do it. Therefore, there are indeed doubts in this case. ”

Mei Lang's solidarity made me trust my instincts even more: "Yes, father, mother, although there are witnesses in this case, there is no physical evidence. Li Wei, as a county magistrate, wanted to arrest the people for perjury, which was really a simple matter. If what Aunt Mei said is true, then what Li Wei said just now can be described as insidious and cunning, despicable. Moreover, this time Aunt Mei was put in prison, I am afraid that it will not be easy, I don't know if Li Wei will torture her and force her to withdraw the charge! Mother, why don't you ask clearly on the spot, do you want to let the tiger return to the mountain? ”

My mother hooked her lips slightly, smiled and beckoned to me calmly, and I obediently went over and sat down with her.

She hugged me and said softly: "Yao'er, Yao'er, my mother thinks that you have grown up, matured, and it is smart to break the case, but you haven't understood one thing yet, and my mother has to remind you." Yao'er, it is very easy to distinguish between justice and evil in the world. But the key is, after you have discerned, how do you deal with it? It's useless to guess. Yao'er, one day, when you are sitting on that dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, facing the civil and military officials under the jade steps, it is actually very easy for you to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. But what about after you know that you are loyal and traitorous? How you use them, how you treat them, how you weigh the benefits and deal with them properly, this is what the emperor has to learn......"

I took a deep breath, looked at my mother eagerly, and nodded: "Erchen understands." ”

"Go," said the mother, "to confirm what you suspected, and don't startle the snake!" ”

"Obey," I commanded convincingly, "Ma Ling, go with this prince." ”
