Qiu and Zhao stared at the fat man viciously, and the fat man was obviously scared, and he shrank his shoulders and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Mei Xue laughed silently behind the hood, asked Peng Liang to loosen the fat man, and said to him:

"You can go, if you don't dare to go back to the capital, find a way to live as soon as possible."

Then he said to Gao Yuan:

"Send him out, don't embarrass him."

The fat man looked at Mei Xue in disbelief, but Peng Liang had already neatly untied him and pushed him out.

The fat man came back to his senses and immediately flew out.

The rest of the people who were still tied hesitated and looked at each other's faces.

The eagerness to try it was palpable.

Mei Xue looked at those people, waited for a while, and then said to Peng Liang:

"Since they don't have anything to say, let's tie them up and send them to the government!"

Those people immediately panicked, no longer ignoring the threatening eyes of Qiu and Zhao, and rushed to confess.

It turned out that Qiu Changhai was the elder brother of Yan Yuxiu's sixth aunt, the uncle of the Yan family, and Zhao Kang was Qiu Changhai's brother-in-law.

The Yan family has never given up looking for Qiao Anyi, and has sent several groups of people to the Sichuan-Shaanxi region in the past ten years.

They set out from the capital last winter, and they have been searching for news all the way to the present.

When they were in Taiping Town, they heard that Mei Xue had disappeared with the people of the Shu Palace, so they chased them all the way to Chengdu.

Unexpectedly, it was only two days after I arrived, and I was served in a nest in the inn.

An older man begged bitterly:

"Childe, girl, we don't dare to fight the people in the palace of Shu even if we eat the gall of the leopard.

It's just that he obeys people's orders, and even if he can't complete the task, he has to find out some useful information and go back to the business. ”

Speaking of this, the man pointed to Qiu Changhai and Zhao Kang and said:

"They are the leaders, knowing that the girl is in the palace, we don't dare to come to Chengdu at all, they forced it, don't want to go back alive if you don't succeed in the task."

Xu has been backed by the Yan family for a long time, Qiu Changhai and Zhao Kang are still a little bold, and when they heard this, they scolded several subordinates and threatened them not to think about it.

Mei Xue ignored it, and instructed Peng Liang to prepare a pen and paper, let people write down these confessions in detail, and asked all these people to sign and draw on them.

Qiu Changhai and Zhao Kangyu kept scolding angrily, and Gao Yuan, who sent the fat man back, was furious, and after a few punches, he beat them to the ground and couldn't make a sound.

Li Jinzhi asked people to invite Li Changshi over, but he didn't expect Shen Qingyang to come over.

He entered the room with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Gao Yuanzheng commanding his subordinates to tie Qiu Changhai and Zhao Kang more firmly, he frowned and said:

"Are you all idle? Wasting your energy on a few pickles? ”

When he had finished speaking, he called his men in and commanded them:

"Break all the limbs and joints of these people, throw them into the bottom warehouse of the cargo ship and transport them back to the capital."

Those who signed the confession were all panicked, crying and pleading with Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue.

Li Jinzhi smiled silently, not angry at all because of Shen Qingyang's strength.

Mei Xue stood up, ignored Shen Qingyang, and said directly to his subordinates:

"These few who have signed a confession, just take good care of them, and don't hurt them."

Several sergeants went to see Shen Qingyang's face, and when they saw that he was silent, they all stood still and didn't dare to move.

Shen Qingyang glanced at Mei Xue coldly, and then instructed his subordinates:

"Do as she says, these two who don't know whether they are alive or dead will be dragged out now and broken hands and feet."

A group of sergeants who were like wolves and tigers responded, and simply dragged everyone out.

Li Changshi dared to step forward and salute, he picked up the confession and read it carefully, and then saluted Li Jinzhi and said:

"There are so many witnesses, and the details are all confessed clearly, this matter is by no means difficult, but it is Miss Qiao that the Yan family wants to kill, so Miss Mei is ...... here."

Li Changshi looked at Mei Xue as he spoke, the person the Yan family wanted to kill was called Qiao Anyi, not Mei Xue.

This young girl, who has recently been spread by the people of Chengdu, stood quietly opposite him at this moment, he couldn't see her face behind the hood clearly, and only heard her say in a calm tone:

"My surname is Mei Mingxue, my ancestral home is Qiantang, Zhejiang, my mother Han died of illness three years ago, and my aunt Mei is the nurse of Qiao Mei's deceased mother, Qiao Mei, who lost her son when she was young, and has no contact with her husband's family.

My father, Mei Jingchen, along with his brother and Qiao Anyi, the eldest girl of the Qiao family, was killed on the bank of the Jinsha River ten years ago.

After arriving in Beijing, if there is a day when I have been wronged, I will voluntarily testify in court. ”

The room was so quiet that you could hear the needles falling, only Mei Xue's voice was flowing slowly.

There is no joy or sorrow, and it seems that he has already seen through the hustle and bustle of the world.

Li Jinzhi put away the smile on his face, his eyes moved away from Mei Xue, and he looked at the courtyard covered with twilight calmly.

Shen Qingyang, who was standing with his hands in his hands, watched Mei Xue's figure disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and then turned his face to look at Li Jinzhi and said with a sneer:

"I thought I knew everything about things in the capital, but I didn't expect that our Yan Ge Lao had already covered the sky with one hand ten years ago, and dared to be lawless at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

Li Jinzhi also laughed, with a gentle smile on his face as always, and gently rubbed his fingertips and said:

"I was thinking, since Elder Yan Ge is so concerned about the Shu Palace, when I arrive in the capital, I must solemnly thank him for his old man."

Li Changshi listened to the laughter and conversation of the two young people in front of him, and only felt that he had never been frightened.

He could even imagine what earth-shattering things would happen in Luoyang in a few months.

Xiao Yan went to the pier in person to greet Mama Zhang, Yurong and Ping'an.

Yurong was terrified, hugged Ping'an tightly, and covered Ping'an's face with a handkerchief, for fear that others would dislike him when they saw him.

Mei Xue waited at the second door, smiled when she saw them, and quickly stepped forward and hugged Ping'an into her arms.

Xiao Yan had never seen Mei Xue smile so comfortably, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Where did this kid get the blessing to be so loved by Miss Mei."

Mei Xue uncovered the veil on Ping'an's face, and turned sideways to block the sun for him, then smiled and whispered:

"God created man, he is a special one, I personally took him into this world, I should protect him well."

Ping'an's mother invited her on the day of her difficult birth, and she found the problem at a glance, but he was already a fresh life at that time.

She knew that once he was born, it meant suffering, but she couldn't bear to stop it, so she had to do her best.

The woman in the spring light carefully walked forward with the child in her arms, with a warm smile on her face that she had never seen before.

In the past, even if she smiled, she always had a faint alienation.

Li Jinzhi stood behind the hanging flower gate of the garden, through the carved hollow wall tiles, and watched Mei Xue and Xiao Yan walk by with a smile.

It turns out that she also likes children so much.

The official ship of the palace was ready, and on the day that Mama Zhang and her party arrived, Shen Qingyang began to order people to load the ship.

The king of Shu had to scold again, but Shen Qingyang was still unmoved.

Mei Xue went to say goodbye to Princess Shu, but just in time for Li Jinfeng to be entangled with Princess Shu.

Li Jinfeng wanted to go to Luoyang with Li Jinzhi, but Princess Shu disagreed, so he called Li Jinzhi to come over to help intercede, who knew that Li Jinzhi and Princess Shu had the same opinion.

Li Jinfeng felt aggrieved, Mei Xue didn't want to get involved, and after thanking Princess Shu for her care these days, she planned to leave, but Li Jinfeng, who was in a hurry, stopped her and said:

"Miss Mei, you give a comment, I grew up with my eldest brother since I was a child, and even my eldest brother taught me to read, but now I have to be separated from my eldest brother, what is the reason?"

Mei Xue knew that even if this matter went to the king of Shu, it would be the same ending, the king of Shu only had two sons-in-law, and he would never send them all to the capital.

And Emperor Mingde wanted Li Jinzhi.

But Mei Xue can't say this.

Li Jinzhi got up, pulled Li Jinfeng to Princess Shu's side and said:

"Mother has been in poor health for the past few years, and you should stay with her to serve.

If you are obedient, it will be as little as two years, and it will not exceed your crown salute, and I will definitely take you to Luoyang. ”

Li Jinfeng's eyes were red, and he choked up and said:

"I don't want to be separated from my eldest brother for a day, it will take six or seven years until I perform the crown ceremony, and my eldest brother's words are clearly prevaricating me."

But Li Jinzhi was unmoved, and only patted Li Jinfeng on the shoulder and said:

"This matter is settled, you don't mess with your mother anymore."

Mei Xue followed Li Jinzhi and left the courtyard of Princess Shu, and the two walked silently for a while, Mei Xue said to Li Jinzhi:

"The third prince is young, so he may not dare to secretly follow you to Luoyang."

Li Jinzhi smiled helplessly:

"Thank you Miss Mei for reminding me, with the third brother's temperament, he dares to do this kind of thing, and I will let people watch him closely."
