Bang~

Wang Xifeng slapped [Jiao Shun]'s newly bought gold eight-treasure bun with pearls on the dressing table, her pretty face was frosty and she gritted her teeth: "Isn't everything about the second room of the Xue family already settled? It's so late at night.

, he was still confused about the timely rain!"

After Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others were called away by Jiao Shun, she felt that something was not harmonious, but she still hoped to leave early and dress up, but in the end she waited for the news that Jiao Shun had broken the appointment.

She was now in the midst of a passionate love affair, having been unable to get close to her for six or seven days in a row, and she had already been filled with resentment. Now that she was being let go again, she couldn't help but become furious.

"Grandma, calm down."

Ping'er hurriedly advised: "He took the risk and went to several places before asking someone to deliver the letter. If he wasn't thinking about grandma, how could he..."

"Hmph~ I'm not the only one he misses!"

Wang Xifeng recalled what happened that night, and her words became even more sour. She completely ignored the fact that it was actually her initiative that day, and sneered: "In my opinion, he must have been thinking about that girl Bao Qin, otherwise

Why does this person, who is not related to me or have any acquaintance with me, stand up to others again and again?! Even when I was working as a housekeeper and having children under my command, I have never seen him so attentive!"

Seeing that she looked like she was jealous and had no regard for her suspicions, Ping'er couldn't help but laugh and said: "He hasn't been a serious official for a long time. Even if he wants to be attentive, he can't touch grandma's side."

After saying that, seeing Wang Xifeng glaring at her fiercely, she said calmly: "Besides, Miss Baoqin was scheduled to return to Jinling after the Double Ninth Festival, so what's the point of being courteous to Miss Baoqin? Or is it?

He said that he can do calculations, and he has already expected that the second wife of the Xue family would come to the capital?"

"this……"

When Ping'er pointed out a logical flaw, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel stagnant. However, she rolled her triangular eyes and immediately spoke again: "Humph~ That means she is thinking about Baochai!"

"This is even more impossible. Miss Bao will marry Baoyu next spring..."

"How is it impossible?"

Wang Xifeng counted them one by one with her fingers: "Which one of the eldest madam, the eldest sister-in-law Zhen, the eldest sister-in-law Zhu, and... is not the one who has a master? He can't say that this is the one he wants!"

This was originally meant to refute Ping'er, but as he said it, he took it seriously, thinking that he got involved with Jiao Shun because he was annoyed by Jia Lian's romantic nature, but now it seems that Jiao Shun is worse than Jia Lian.

Even worse than that!

Doesn’t this mean that he has given up the dark side and turned to the dark side?

She had had this thought before, but it had never been so strong that she even had the idea of ​​breaking off with Jiao Shun altogether.

However, after the impulse passed, Wang Xifeng stretched out her hand to caress the golden eight-treasure beaded bun, then turned to look at the glazed snow globe placed in a conspicuous position in the middle, and her heart softened again, secretly thinking that although this guy was carefree, at least he was willing to do it.

It will also make people happy.

Then there’s the hard-to-speak thing…

Everyone is already trapped, so let’s just make do with it for now.

…………

"uncle."

Jiao Shun was on the carriage, wondering if Wang Xifeng had received his message, when suddenly he heard Shuan Zhu say from outside: "We've arrived."

He hurriedly put aside the things that were there and didn't, and picked up the curtain to get out of the carriage. He saw two or three carriages parked not far away, blocking the entrance of the narrow alley.

Obviously, Jia Yucun came one step earlier than himself.

After meeting Xue Biao, the two walked into the alley side by side, only to see about ten people standing densely inside, half of them dressed as servants in green robes and hats, and the other half of them were police officers in Shuntian Mansion's armor.

It seems that Jia Yucun not only mobilized his servants, but also specially found some government servants to support the scene.

Walking further inside, there is the stool where Da Ma Jin Dao is sitting, Jia Yucun, who is wearing an official robe and looking at him eagerly, and Ma Baosen, who is kneeling on the ground and shivering.

When Jiao Shun and Xue Biao saw this, they both stopped and wanted to see how Jia Yucun was going to interrogate him.

I thought that Jia Yucun, who had been in charge of Jinling Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, must have some experience in interrogating cases, but after listening to it for a while, I was disappointed.

It was nothing more than false threats. Although the dark and narrow terrain here inadvertently enhanced his intimidation effect, even if Ma Baosen bit him to death, there was nothing Jia Yucun could do.

In the end, he calmly prepared to engage in torture to extract a confession.

Seeing the two government officials pushing Ma Baosen down like wolves and tigers, Jiao Shun hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute."

Things are still unclear now, and the ultimate purpose of this trip is to turn a major issue into a trivial matter. To punish Ma Baosen at this point is likely to intensify the conflict - I don't know if Jia Yucun really doesn't understand this, or if he deliberately wants to

Force yourself to speak.

According to his usual cunning demeanor, the latter is obviously more likely.

But his level of three skills just now doesn’t look like he’s just pretending...

Seeing Jia Yucun getting up and walking towards this side, Jiao Shun didn't want to think anymore and said in a lower voice: "Brother Yucun, the Mei family is on the cusp of the storm right now. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. If we are really punished, we won't be able to protect everyone."

Someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"I was just trying to scare him."

Jia Yucun waved his hand and said seriously: "This Ma Baosen bit him to death and refused to speak. He was obviously deliberately concealing something. This is inconsistent with our previous refusal - but if he knew that there was another reason for Mrs. Mei's death,

Weird, why would you go out of your way to report to the officials?"

Before Jiao Shun opened his mouth, Xue Biao suddenly blurted out: "Is this really what my cousin said?"

"What's right?"

Jia Yucun wondered: "What did your brother say?"

"this……"

Xue Pan glanced at Jiao Shun and saw him nodding, and then he came up with Xue Pan's 'absurd' deduction.

After listening to Nian Xu, Jia Yucun pondered for a long time, then said: "Although this conjecture is bizarre, there are not so many things in the world that are planned and acted upon. Most of them are impulsive and stupid people, and their actions are difficult to judge by common sense.

.”

Having said this, he looked at Jiao Shun again: "Do you want to take a chance?"

"Now that I'm here, I have to go to Mei's house."

Jiao Shun said decisively, and then pointed at Mei Baosen: "Why don't Brother Xue and I continue the interrogation here, and Brother Yucun directly goes to Mei's house to find out what's going on!"

Although Jia Yucun was still hesitant, he also knew that Jiao Shun could not arrange a carriage and horse to accompany him to Mei's house, so he had no choice but to take some of the government servants and servants and hurried to Meifu Qian Street.

After he left, Jiao Shun was not in a hurry to interrogate Ma Baosen, and did not even come close to show his face.

After observing from a distance for a while, he called a yamen servant and said, "Go get paper and pen."

When the yamen servant hurriedly looked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Jiao Shun turned to Xue Biao and asked: "I heard that you are good at calligraphy?"

Xue Biao hurriedly said modestly: "I only know a little bit about it, but I can't say I'm good at it."

"How about comparing it to a gourd and drawing a scoop?"

Jiao Shun said a few words in his ear. Xue Biao hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said: "Brother, please give it a try."

Not to mention how to arrange it here.

But it was said that Jia Yucun knocked on the door of Mei Mansion and led the crowd straight in. They saw that there was no mountain or water outside, but a mourning hall had been arranged in the yard.

When he broke in, Mrs. Mei was kneeling in front of the coffin in mourning clothes and burning paper. When she saw a third-grade official suddenly barging in, she stood up in a panic and asked, "May I ask who your lord is and why you broke into my house?"

"

"This is our Lord Jia of Shuntian Mansion!"

A yamen servant introduced it first.

Jia Yucun took the opportunity to look at Mrs. Mei from top to bottom, and saw that although this woman was petite and exquisite, her figure was very graceful, especially her filial piety and pity, which aroused people's imagination. He couldn't help but secretly jealous of Mei Guangyan's beauty.

Blessing.

He said solemnly: "Mrs. Mei, right? Someone caught a thief who climbed over the wall near your house an hour ago. However, after the man was sent to Shuntian Mansion, he claimed that he was Mei Baosen, the son of Mei Mansion.

, and said that his grandmother’s death was mysterious and he wanted to report it to the officials for investigation.”

When Mrs. Mei heard this, she was already swaying. She put one hand on the altar table to hold on and not fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Jia Yucun thought that this woman must be cowardly and easy to coax, so he immediately shouted: "Mrs. Mei, what is going on? Why don't you call her here quickly!"

Not wanting Mrs. Mei to be frightened by him, she gritted her silver teeth hard, straightened her body and said righteously: "Everyone knows the enmity between the Mei family and the Xue family. Since Lord Fu is a fellow clan member of the Rongguo Mansion, he should avoid it according to law.

That's right - even if there is an investigation, it should be done by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment or the City Patrol Department!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed out: "My husband is not at home now. I am a woman and it is not convenient for me to entertain guests. I would like to ask you to leave first. As for whether to release the bad son or transfer him to Dali Temple or other places, please listen."

Your Majesty, please do as you please!"

What Jia Yucun could have imagined was that this young woman who was weak and easy to bully suddenly turned into a strong point.

Especially what she said was reasonable, and she was obviously not an ignorant woman who could be easily coaxed.

Suddenly, Jiayu Village was in trouble.

Although he felt that there must be something fishy about Mrs. Mei's death, he was not 100% sure. If he insisted on checking and guessed wrong in the end, this hidden Mrs. Mei would probably not give up.

It doesn’t matter how the Mei family collapses, I’m just afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble...

Considering the current mood and public opinion among civil servants, this is simply a sure thing!

Jia Yucun was not sure whether to advance or retreat when he suddenly saw a government servant running in from outside, holding a piece of paper in both hands and loudly saying: "Master, Master, Ma Baosen has finally made a move!"
