A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 49
As soon as these words came out, Meng Taifu's legs trembled in fright, and he almost knelt down: "Master! What are you talking about? How could Liu Ji be involved?"

Shen Zaiye snorted coldly, looked at him and said, "It turns out that my lord doesn't know that the son of the Gu family in my house and the maids in Zhenzhen's yard all died on the preserved fruits of Liu Ji's dried fruit shop. I don't know what they did. What kind of business are you talking about, that you actually put Weizi in pickled fruit. If Shen can’t get justice for the two lives of the Prime Minister’s mansion, then this Prime Minister is wrong!”

After finishing speaking, without any hesitation, he flung his sleeves and left, even though Meng Taipu chased and shouted after him, he didn't look back.

King Jing watched from not far away, in a good mood.

"This kind of thing will happen." He smiled and said to the counselors beside him, "It seems that the daughter of Meng Taifu in our prime minister's backyard can't be kept."

Not only could his daughter be lost, but his official position might also be lost.

A counselor cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, King Yu lost your city again."

"Hahaha." King Jing laughed, looking at Shen Zaiye's back, his eyes were full of joy.

The people from the Yamen of the capital were already waiting at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Shen Zaiye came back, Jing Zhaoyin came up to greet him and said, "Prime Minister, Liu Ji's people have been imprisoned in the sky prison, and the shop has also been sealed. Less tax evasion and tax evasion."

"Very good." Shen Zaiye led him into the mansion, sat down in the main courtyard, and said with a serious expression: "Since there are still such illegal things and people's lives have been killed, then my lord will file a case and see what charges you will be charged with." .”

This Jing Zhaoyin is a man with sharp eyesight. He looked at the prime minister's face, and immediately said: "It's a big deal if you kill someone, and the boss will definitely pay for it. As for tax evasion, the prime minister thinks, should we look up the matter?" ?”

"Of course we have to investigate." Shen Zaiye said with a righteous face: "You just check, if there is any stone blocking the way, just kick it into my prime minister's mansion!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Jing Zhaoyin took the order to go, and Shen Zaiye sat and waited in the room.Sure enough, after a while, Meng Zhenzhen came over crying.

"Master!" She knelt down when she came in, her eyes were swollen, she looked up at him pitifully and said, "You are so kind! The person who pickled preserved fruit was not Mr. Liu Ji himself, how could he count his life on his head? ?”

Looking down at her, Shen Zaiye's face was cold: "If you don't come, I almost forgot that Liu Ji's boss is related to your family by marriage, right?"

Meng Zhenzhen was taken aback, and quickly said: "Yes, but his younger sister is just a concubine of his concubine's father, and they don't have a deep relationship!"

Slightly squinting, Shen Zaye looked at her, and said sharply: "I didn't know there was such a relationship at first. I couldn't figure out why Liu Ji would put Chi Weizi in the preserved fruit. Figured it out."

What does it mean?Meng's body froze, staring blankly at the person in front of her.It took a while to realize, and he widened his eyes and said: "Master, this matter has nothing to do with my concubine!"

"Do you think I will believe it?" Standing up, Shen Zaiye looked at her and said, "I know exactly what you are doing in this backyard. I usually don't want to worry too much about it. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen this time." Zhenzhen, the first law of the Great Wei is to kill for life, do you know that?"

Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhenzhen couldn't cry anymore: "I don't have..."

"Your maid died by your own hands." Shen Zaiye closed his eyes: "And my first child died indirectly by your hands. Tell me, what should I do with you?"

"No..." Meng Zhenzhen panicked, she stretched out her hand and tugged on Shen Zaiye's clothes, and said earnestly, "Master, I have been serving you for such a long time, do you think I will kill someone?"

Swinging her away with a flick of his sleeve, Shen Zaiye walked out: "Zhan Lu, call the people from the Yamen to come over..."

"Master!" Meng yelled, her eyes full of despair: "Don't you have any feelings for my concubine? After all, I served you, how can you be so ruthless!"

Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, looked back at her, hesitated for a while, and sighed with restraint:

"That's all, Zhenzhen, you can go back to Meng's house by yourself. I will not pursue the rest of the matter because of the past friendship."

Meng Shi was dumbfounded, she fell to the ground in a daze, opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

what is this?He wanted to drive her out of the mansion, but it turned out to be a gift?And she didn't know what to say in rebuttal.

How could it be like this?

"Master..." After a turmoil in her heart, Meng stood up reluctantly, and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I can leave the prime minister's mansion, but can you...can you be lenient and spare me?" family?"

Shen Zaiye frowned, his eyes fell on her face, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Meng shi bowed her knees and saluted, then slowly got up, supported the maid's hand, and stumbled away as if she had lost her soul.

In the afternoon, the sun was just right, and Shen Zaiye opened the door of Jingye Hall.

Jiang Taohua was sighing at the cabbage tofu on the table, but when she heard the movement, she turned her head quickly.

"Father!"

Seeing the person coming, she gave a cheer, and flew into Shen Zaye's arms like a kite, put her arms around his waist and began to act coquettishly: "Can I go out?"

Shen Zaye looked at her, and said lightly, "No, I just came to take a look."

"Liar!" Wrinkling her nose, Tao Hua said, "If the matter is not over, you won't be free to come here. Now that it's over, you still have the heart to shut this concubine here and eat carrots and cabbage?"

While speaking, he twisted his body, so twisted that Shen Zaiye almost couldn't hold his face.

"Jiang Taohua, stand up straight and speak well!"

"Yes!" Immediately withdrew her hands behind her back, Taohua looked at him with a smile, her eyes were full of light: "Congratulations, my concubine."

Stepping into the main hall, Shen Zaiye snorted softly, and closed the door: "Why are you congratulating me?"

"Congratulations, Lord, for achieving your wish." Taohua followed behind him, sticking to him like a brown candy: "Since the matter is over, those who should leave the house must go out, and the relationship that needs to be separated, Lord can also do it." Cleared up together."

"Oh?" He lifted his robe and sat down on the futon, Shen Zaiye glanced at her sideways: "Do you know who the master is going to separate from?"

"Isn't this simple? It must be the Meng family." Tao Hua said with a face of reason: "If it wasn't for the Meng family, why would you ask my concubine to send the plums to the Gu family?"

It was made clear that he was helping Mei Zhaoxue and tricked Gu and Meng into it.

Shen Zaiye's eyes darkened slightly, and Shen Zaiye felt a little upset. After looking at her for a long time, he finally said, "You woman, you always say something indistinct, trying to guess what I'm thinking. Today You have made your words clear, so that I can see if you really see through something, or if you don’t understand it and pretend to understand it.”

Tao Hua also sat down beside her, blinking her eyes at him: "Are you giving this concubine a test question?"

"Then can you answer it?"

"Is there a prize for the answer?"

"nature."

This is good!Taohua sat cross-legged, pinched a small wooden stick and drew on the open space in front of her.

"I've been thinking about it for two days. It should be like this——Gu is not sure she's pregnant. Our wife will help her to finalize the matter first, so that Gu's riding a tiger is hard to get off. Then let the concubine buy plums for her As for Meizi, I don’t know if it’s really a problem, but Gu’s miscarriage involved Liu Ji, who happens to be the in-law of the Meng family, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to question the Meng family and send the Meng family back to the government. .This is probably the purpose of Grandpa from the beginning.”

Shen Zaiye listened with lowered eyes, his eyes fell on the relationship diagram she drew on the ground, staring at the line between himself and Meng Shi, and asked softly: "Why do you think I have to disregard my relationship with Meng Shi?"

"How does this concubine know? Master naturally has his own arrangements, so I shouldn't have come to ask." Taohua smiled, but put a question mark on Gu's name.

"However, there are two doubts here. I want to ask the Prime Minister for advice."

And something she couldn't guess?Shen Zaiye finally regained some confidence: "You ask."

"First, is Mrs. Gu really pregnant?" Tao Hua turned her head, stared at him and said, "I always feel that her pregnancy is very strange, it comes and goes quickly, and the master is not in a hurry."

The brows moved slightly, Shen Zaiye didn't answer her, but asked, "What about the second one?"

"Secondly, do Liu Ji's candied fruits really contain Chi Weizi?" Tilting her head, Jiang Taohua smiled clearly: "Jiang Weizi is a bitter medicine, and it's not like Gu has no tongue, he really ate so much Meizi, how can you not taste that there is something wrong with plums?"

She still caught the key.

Shen Zaiye smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and kissed her lightly: "Since the matter has come to an end, then you should go back to Zhengchun Pavilion obediently, and don't worry about the rest."

Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand in distaste, Tao Hua said, "You always do this trick every time you feel guilty?"

Seeing her movements, Shen Zaiye's face darkened: "Are your hands too long? How about..."

"Not too much, not too much!" Taohua was startled, and immediately reacted, hugging the face of the person in front of her, and kissed him with one mouthful.

"Look, if I don't have hands, I won't be able to hug you!"

Shen Zaye: "..."

The warm aroma hit his nostrils, making him feel good.But why is this daring girl always so shameless?
With a light cough, he stood up and said with a stern face: "Stop talking nonsense, go back and tidy up, and go to pay your respects to Madam."

"I understand!" Peach Blossom smiled doggedly: "Will you come to Zhengchun Pavilion tonight? I can give you a massage!"

Glancing at her sideways, Shen Zaiye didn't answer, just flung his sleeves and left.

Tao Hua watched him walk away with a smile, stretched her waist and greeted Qing Mos: "Let's go, go back to eat big meat!"

The red-eared Moss hiding in the corner responded, pinching her fingers to calculate the time.

The day before yesterday was locked in at about this time, exactly two days.
