The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 510

slap~
Wang Xifeng slapped [Jiao Shun]'s newly-bought golden silk and eight treasures on the dressing table, her pretty face was frosty and she gritted her teeth: "Isn't everything about Xue's second room over? It's the middle of the night. , what is he pretending to be in time for?"

After Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others were called away by Jiao Shun, she felt that something was wrong, but she still hoped to leave the scene early and dressed up, but in the end she still waited for the news that Jiao Shun had missed the appointment.

Right now, she is at the time when she is in love with adultery, she has not been close for six or seven days in a row, and she has already suffocated her stomach full of resentment, and now she has been released as a pigeon, she can't help but get angry.

"Grandma calm down."

Ping'er hurriedly persuaded from the side: "He took the risk and went around a few places before asking someone to hand over 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 to him that night, and his words became even more sour, completely ignoring the fact that she was the one who proposed that day, and sneered: "In my opinion, he must have missed that girl Baoqin, if not This person is not related and has no reason, why should he give others a head over and over again?! Even when I was working under my hands before, I never saw him so attentive!"

Seeing her look like she had knocked over the jar of jealousy, Ping Er couldn't help but smile and said: "He has not been a serious errand for a long time, even if he wants to show his courtesy, he can't touch Grandma's edge."

After finishing speaking, seeing Wang Xifeng glaring at her, she said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Besides, Miss Baoqin was supposed to return to Jinling after the Double Ninth Festival, so what's the use of being courteous to Miss Baoqin? Saying that he can pinch and count, he has long expected that the second wife of the Xue family will come to the capital?"

"This……"

When Ping'er pointed out a logical loophole, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but froze, but turned Danfeng's triangular eyes, and immediately spoke again: "Hmph~ That's why I miss Baochai!"

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

"Why is it impossible?"

Wang Xifeng counted one by one with his fingers: "Eldest Wife, Sister-in-law Zhen, Sister-in-law Zhu, and... Which one is not the owner? He can't be sure, just take it!"

This remark was originally to refute Ping'er, but he took it seriously as he said it, thinking that he had hooked up with Jiao Shun because he was annoyed by Jia Lian's flirtatious nature, but now it seems that Jiao Shun is better than Jia Lian. There is nothing worse than that!

Wouldn't this be turning away from the dark and turning to the black?
She had this kind of thought before, but it was never so strong that she even thought of breaking up with Jiao Shun altogether.

But after the impulsiveness passed, Wang Xifeng stretched out her hand to caress the golden silk and eight-treasure bun, and then turned her head to look at the glazed snow globe placed in a conspicuous position in the middle, her heart softened again. It will make people happy again.

And then there's the unspeakable...

The left and right are already stuck, so let's just make do with it.

…………

"uncle."

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

He hurriedly put aside what was there, and got out of the carriage through the curtain, only to see two or three carriages parked not far away, blocking the entrance of a narrow alley.

Obviously, Jia Yucun came one step earlier than himself.

After meeting Xue Biao, the two walked into the alley side by side, but saw a dozen people standing densely inside, half of them were servants in green clothes and hats, and half were black-clothed police officers from Shuntian Mansion.

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

Going further in, you will see Jia Yucun, who is in official robes, and Mei Baosen, who is kneeling on the ground and trembling, on the stool where Da Ma Jindao is sitting.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun and Xue Biao stopped in unison, thinking to see how Jia Yucun would interrogate first.

Originally thought that Jia Yucun had been in charge of Jinling Mansion and Shuntian Mansion successively, so he must have some experience in interrogating cases, but after listening for a while, it was very disappointing.

Nothing else, just blindly intimidating. Although the dark and narrow terrain environment here invisibly contributed to his intimidating effect, Jia Yucun had no choice but to kill Mei Baosen.

In the end, with a sullen face, he was ready to engage in the practice of extorting confessions by torture.

Seeing the two yamen servants pushing down Mei Baosen like wolves like tigers, Jiao Shun hastily yelled 'Wait a minute'.

Things are still unclear now, and the ultimate goal of this trip is to turn major issues into minor ones. Imposing punishment on Mei Baosen in this way may intensify the conflict—I don’t know whether Jia Yucun really doesn’t understand these things, or deliberately Force yourself to speak.

According to his usual cunning and cunning face, the probability of the latter is obviously greater.

But he was just at the level of the three axes, and it didn't seem like he was pretending...

Seeing Jia Yucun getting up and walking towards this side, Jiao Shun didn't want to think about it any longer, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yucun, the Mei family is on the cusp of the crisis, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. Someone will take the opportunity to make trouble."

"I was just trying to frighten him."

Jia Yucun waved his hand, and immediately said with a straight face: "This Meibaosen is bitten to death and refuses to speak. He is obviously trying to hide something deliberately. This is inconsistent with our previous excuses—but if he knows that Mrs. Mei's death has other consequences. Strange, how could you deliberately jump over the wall and come out to report to the officials?"

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

"What did you say?"

Jia Yucun wondered, "What did Brother Ling say?"

"This one……"

Xue Biao glanced at Jiao Shun, saw him nodding, and then explained Xue Pan's 'absurd' deduction.

Jia Yucun groaned for a while after listening to Nianxu, but said: "Although this conjecture is bizarre, how can there be so many things that are planned and moved in this world, most of them are impulsive and stupid people, and what they do is hard to reason with common sense. .”

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

"Since we're here, we must go to Mei's house for a while."

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

Although Jia Yucun was still a little hesitant, he also knew that Jiao Shun would not be able to show his chariots and horses to accompany him to Mei's house, so he had to take some yamen servants and servants and hurried to Meifu Qian Street.

After he left, Jiao Shun was not in a hurry to interrogate Meibaosen, and he didn't even go over to show his face.

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

When the yamen servant hurried to look for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Jiao Shun turned to Xue Bian again, "I heard that you are good at calligraphy?"

Xue Biao hurriedly said modestly: "My little brother only knows a thing or two, and I can't be called good at it."

"Then it's better than painting a gourd and drawing a ladle?"

Jiao Shun whispered a few words, Xue Biao hesitated for a while, Fang nodded and said: "Little brother, try your best."

Not to mention how it is arranged here.

But Jia Yucun knocked on the gate of Mei Mansion, led the crowd to drive straight in, and saw that there was no mountain or dew outside, but the mourning hall had already been arranged in the yard.

When he broke in, Mrs. Mei was kneeling in filial piety and burning papers in front of the coffin, and when she saw that she was a third-rank official who had suddenly barged in, she got up in a panic and asked, "May I ask who your lord is and why did you break into my house? "

"This is our Shuntian Mansion's Master Jia!"

A yamen servant was the first to introduce.

Jia Yucun took the opportunity to look at Mrs. Mei from top to bottom, and saw that although this woman was born petite and exquisite, her figure was very graceful, especially her filial piety, which was even more imaginative, and she couldn't help secretly envious of Mei Guangyan luck.

He said solemnly: "Mrs. Mei, right? An hour ago someone caught a snitch who climbed over the wall near your house, but 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 died for no apparent reason, and he wanted to report to the authorities for investigation."

When Mrs. Mei heard this, her figure was already staggering. With one hand on the altar, she managed to support herself without falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Jia Yucun thought that the woman must be cowardly and easy to coax, and immediately shouted: "Mrs. Mei, what's going on, why don't you hurry up and recruit her!"

Not wanting Mrs. Mei to be frightened by him, she gritted her silver teeth, but straightened her body and said righteously: "The enmity between the Mei family and the Xue family is well known, and since the lord of the Rongguo family is of the same clan, he should avoid it according to the law. That's right—even if there is an investigation, it should be investigated by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or the City Patrol Division!"

As he said, he raised his hand and pointed out: "My husband is not at home now. I am a woman who is inconvenient to receive guests, so please leave first. As for the bad boy, or transfer him to Dali Temple and other places, listen carefully." Your Excellency respects it!"

Jia Yucun imagined that this little woman, who was still weak and bully just now, suddenly became a strong one.

In particular, everything she said made sense, and she was obviously not an ignorant woman who could be fooled casually.

All of a sudden, Jia Yucun was in trouble.

Although he felt that there must be something strange about Mrs. Mei's death, he was not [-]% sure. If he insisted on checking, but he guessed wrong in the end, this Mrs. Mei who had hidden needles in the cotton would probably not let it go.

It's all about the Mei family's downfall, I'm afraid someone will take the opportunity to make trouble...

Considering the current mood and public opinion among civil servants, this is a sure thing!
Jia Yucun was not sure whether to advance or retreat, when suddenly he saw a yamen servant running in from outside, holding a piece of paper in both hands and shouting loudly: "Grandpa, grandpa, then Meibaosen has finally recruited!"

"Ok?"

Not only was Mrs. Mei taken aback, but even Jia Yucun was also taken aback.

Just now he pressed him in every possible way, but Mei Baosen insisted on refusing to say, why did Jiao Shun succeed in such a short time?

Could it be that he persuaded himself not to use the punishment, but instead he did it ruthlessly?
While hesitating, the yamen servant had already sent the paper in front of Jia Yucun. Jia Yucun subconsciously took it over and looked at it carefully. He thought it might be a confession or something, but unexpectedly there was only a line of small characters written on it: The son has confessed, and the mother does not have to. Hide it again.

"This is?"

Jia Yucun looked up suspiciously and asked.

The yamen servant hurriedly explained: "Yes... the master said that if the confession was delivered directly, the Mei family might not believe it, so they simply asked Mei Baosen to write a note directly."

"Ok?"

Jia Yucun vaguely felt that there was a fraud in it, but he still passed the note to Mrs. Mei calmly: "Madam might as well take a look at this first."

Mrs. Mei had already panicked after hearing the two of them answering each other, but when she took the note and roughly distinguished it, she saw that it was indeed written by her son. .

Immediately, he took another two steps on his knees, knelt down in front of Jia Yucun, and begged, "My lord, my lord, I stopped Baosen at that time, and my mother-in-law drank the poison in a daze, not..."

When she was trying to excuse her son, she suddenly found that the back of the slip of paper that she accidentally dropped on the ground was actually a white and flat piece, and suddenly a flash of light came to her mind, and she cried out: "No, this was not written by Baosen, he , He always writes subconsciously through the back of the paper with too much force, never, never like this..."

As he said that, he was about to grab the note and take a closer look.

In the end, Jia Yucun picked it up first, and carefully distinguished it under the lamp. There were indeed signs of repeated outlines, which should have been drawn according to Meibaosen's handwriting, according to the gourd painting scoop. .

If it was daytime, Mrs. Mei would have discovered the problem early in the morning.

But now it was night after all, and she would inevitably lose sight of it under the excitement. Although she soon woke up again, it was still a step late after all.

"Have Xue Pan really guessed it all?"

At this time, Jiao Shun's surprised voice came from outside the door, and immediately he led Xue Biao in from the outside. Both of them changed into yamen servants' attire, obviously they got in together with the yamen servant who reported the letter.

But now that Mrs. Mei has confessed, and there is such an ironclad case of poisoning, naturally there is no need to hide her identity anymore.

Jia Yucun shook the note in his hand, and complained half-truthfully, "Since Brother Jiao Xian has such a good idea, why didn't he discuss it with me first, if I were the chief writer, she would never let her know the flaws. "

"My little brother also thought of it on the spur of the moment."

Jiao Shun laughed, and immediately turned his gaze to Mrs. Mei, who was also looking up at this time.

She has seen Xue Biao before, and although she has never seen Jiao Shun, she can guess from Jia Yucun's address that this person must be Jiao Shun whom her husband has been thinking about!

Thinking that her husband was imprisoned by him and her son was about to be imprisoned because of his tricks, Mrs. Mei couldn't help being furious, she jumped up from the ground suddenly, and shouted: "You villain surnamed Jiao, I will fight you! "

As he spoke, he rushed towards Jiao Shun with all his teeth and claws, but just as he took two steps, he kicked the brazier in the middle, staggering and crashing directly into Jiao Shun's arms.

Jiao Shunyuan was already ready to fight back. She suddenly stumbled, which caught Jiao a little off guard. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around it, but accidentally clasped his heart.

Mrs. Mei bumped her head against Jiao Shun's chest muscles, she was already a little dizzy, but she was caught by Lu Shan's claw unexpectedly, she became more ashamed and angry, her blood was churning, her eyes turned black for a moment, and she collapsed into Jiao Shun's arms.

uh~
Such a strong sense of sight...

During this day, two women fainted in his arms, and he didn't know what the omen was.
