The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 720 Leading the Way

Meng Shisan didn't want to follow Lu Luo's path, so if she wanted to enter the Beijing government, she had to find someone else to help her, and Wu Pinbai was undoubtedly a good candidate.

Anyway, she went to the Beijing jail to see the demons. It was for her own demon clan's own business, but it was also related to Wu Pinbai's injury.

As soon as the sisters' carriage arrived at the side gate of the Beijing government, Meng Shisan asked Meng Meijing to contact Chunshi as soon as he got off the car.

Meng Meijing immediately asked Jixiang to take the silver change to find the gatekeeper and ask him to help pass the message to the yamen so that they could contact Chunshi.

When the yamen runner heard Jixiang introduce himself as the second young lady of the Meng family, and Jixiang secretly slipped some bribes into his hands, he nodded readily and did his job efficiently.

Not long after Jixiang came back, Chunshi also came out. He looked outside and saw the carriage of the Meng Mansion. He walked over directly and said politely, "Miss Meng, Miss Meng."

"Are you Chunshi?" Meng Shisan asked.

Chunshi glanced at Meng Meijing, and seeing that Meng Meijing had no objection, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Meng Shisan noticed Chunshi's look, but he didn't mind it. He continued to ask, "Meijing and I want to meet Magistrate Wu. Can you take us in?"

Meng Meijing didn't need Chunshi to look at her anymore, she immediately agreed: "Yes, I want to see my uncle's injury with my own eyes!"

"Miss Meng, are you worried about your master's injury?" Chunshi asked, and then continued, "Then Miss Meng, don't worry..."

Meng Shisan interrupted, "Is there anything else that can be arranged? If not, just say no and I'll think of another way."

It was only an afternoon when she came out of the Beijing jail. She had other things to do and couldn't waste time on Chunshi's hesitation.

Chunshi was stunned by Meng Shisan's toughness, and then he said politely, "Please wait for a moment, ladies. I will go in and report to the master."

Chunshi went in for a while and then came out again.

This time, he directly invited Meng Shisan and Meng Meijing to enter through the side door.

Wu Pinbo's injury was indeed much more serious than what Chunshi had described when he went to Wu's house to report it.

Mrs. Wen stayed beside Wu Pinbai, her eyes were swollen and red, and it seemed that she had cried several times.

The couple were both in Wu Pinbo's office. Apart from Chunshi, there were two other pairs of master and servant, Meng Shisan and Meng Meijing, who had just entered.

Chunshi retreated quickly, but didn't go far, just waited in the yard outside the door.

"Uncle, aunt." Meng Meijing shouted and walked towards Wu Pinbai with tears in her eyes. Looking at Wu Pinbai's pale face and the bright red blood that could be seen seeping through the white cloth after being bandaged, her voice choked with sobs.

Although she didn't like going to Wu's house in the past and even felt a bit disgusted with it, she knew that her uncle had loved her since she was a child. Now seeing her uncle being so badly injured by the refugees, she felt very sad.

"It's nothing, don't cry." Wu Pinbai comforted Meng Meijing, then stood up and looked at Meng Shisan, "It was beyond Wu's expectation that Miss Meng could come in person."

He calls himself very modest.

After all, he had heard that the eldest daughter of the Meng family was very likely to become the Crown Princess next year, and he thought it was very likely.

Since he himself also thought it was very possible, his attitude towards Meng Shisan would naturally be much more respectful than that towards ordinary noble ladies. Moreover, as the eldest granddaughter of Meng Tianguan, Meng Shisan's status was not low to begin with. With the blessing of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, her status was high enough for him to show respect in advance.

Mrs. Wen didn't expect Meng Meijing to come, and she didn't expect Meng Shisan to follow her into the imperial court. She stood up and stood beside Wu Pinbo, hesitating for a long time and unable to speak. Meng Shisan could see that it was because of her presence that Mrs. Wen was not very good at speaking. In the face of Wu Pinbo's sincere courtesy, she also went straight to the point: "Sir Wu, I came here on this auspicious day mainly to see the two refugees who caused your injury. I wonder if you can lead the way?"

Wu Pinbo was surprised and asked, "I wonder why?"

Meng Meijing interrupted, "Uncle, I want to see what those two refugees are doing so that I can teach them a lesson and let them know the price of injuring the magistrate of the Beijing Yamen!"

"Jingjie, please don't speak." Wu Pinbai asked Meng Meijing to be quiet, and then turned to Meng Shisan and said, "If Miss Meng really wants to teach those refugees a lesson as Jingjie said, then there is no need to do so. What they did will be punished by the laws of the Wei Dynasty."

Meng Shisan said: "Meijing said, yes and no."

"Oh?"

"In addition to what Mei Jing said, my main concern is to find out why those refugees suddenly started a commotion in the theater in Anmofang."

Wu Pinbai was slightly surprised and puzzled: "Is this matter related to the Meng Mansion?"

"It has nothing to do with it." Meng Shisan shook his head.

"Is that related to Miss Meng?"

"At this moment, it's irrelevant."

Wu Pinbai repeated, "It's irrelevant at the moment? What do you mean by that?"

"Your Excellency is presiding over this case, and you must have the same purpose as Liangchen. Since both of you want to find out the intentions behind the riots, then your Excellency should be kind enough to let Liangchen know if he can get the answer." Meng Shisan said logically, "This way, isn't it a win-win situation?"

Meng Meijing couldn't help but interrupt again, "That's right! Uncle, you have to believe that Sister can help you clear this case!"

Wu Pinbai looked at his niece who trusted Meng Shisan very much, thought for a few breaths, and then said, "It's not difficult to do a favor. But the Beijing jail is not an ordinary place. After entering, can Miss Meng promise that she will not walk around casually, and will not make things difficult for Wu without caring about the consequences?"

"Definitely not." Meng Shisan promised.

Wu Pinbai had nothing more to say, and turned to Wen and said, "You and Sister Jing can stay here. I will take Miss Meng to the prison. It will only take a moment... well, it won't take too long."

He originally wanted to say that he would be back in a moment, but when he thought that he was not sure whether what Meng Shisan said was the real purpose, he stopped talking halfway and changed his words when he spoke again.

"Okay." Wen's face was not very good. While answering Wu Pinbai's words, she still couldn't help but glance at Meng Shisan.

Meng Meijing didn't want to respond: "Uncle, I want to go too!"

"You can't go." Wu Pinbai insisted.

"But my sister promised that I can go!" Meng Meijing knew that although Wu Pinbai loved her, he would not indulge her on certain things, so she quickly brought out Meng Shisan's verbal promise.

Upon hearing this, Wu Pinbai looked at Meng Shisan and said, "Jing Jie'er is still young and naive, so it's better for her not to go to jail."

Mrs. Wen also held Meng Meijing's hand and said, "Listen to your uncle. You and your aunt will stay here until your uncle and your sister come back."

Meng Meijing struggled and said, "No, aunt, I also want to go see the refugee who dared to seriously injure my uncle!"
