Chapter 805 Like a Joke
For such a large sum of money, the two drinkers lost it when they said they lost it, and they happened to bump into him when he was invited by his colleagues, and there was no movement afterwards. Meng Yunxiao originally thought that the drinker failed to find him So consider yourself unlucky.It now appears that is not the case.

Meng Yunxiao immediately confessed to the Ministry of Criminal Justice that he was invited to which restaurant by a fellow official that day, and the staff of the restaurant had talked to him to testify. After the Ministry of Criminal Justice brought him in for a confrontation, the colleague said that it was not at all. He had never sent an invitation to Meng Yunxiao, and the staff at the restaurant had no impression of Meng Yunxiao.

No one believed that the gold bar was really picked up by Meng Yunxiao.

As for who bribed Meng Yunxiao with the gold bars, the envoy of Lang Guo also expressed his cooperation in the trial.Later, an envoy from the Kingdom of Lang confessed that he had indeed sent out gold bars.

As for why it was given to Meng Yunxiao, the envoy's reason was that he heard that Meng Yunxiao was the biological father of Princess Yin Wu, and he wanted to get close to King Yin Wu through Meng Yunxiao.

The emperor was noncommittal about such a reason, pondered for a moment, and asked him personally: "As far as I know, the subjects of the Lang Kingdom avoid King Yin Wu of our dynasty. Why do you want to get close to King Yin Wu?"

The envoy looked at him bitterly and gritted his teeth: "Because my father and my brother were all killed by him!"

When the emperor heard that he hated King Yin Wu, he said benevolently: "If two armies are at war, there will be casualties. If you do this to my King Yin Wu, it will reopen the dispute between the two countries. At that time, I will not sit idly by. Got it."

The other envoys of the Lang Kingdom hurried forward to ask the emperor for forgiveness, and promised to deal with him strictly after taking him back to the Lang Kingdom.

After all, he is a courtier of the Lang Kingdom, who just sent gold bars, and has not had time to commit more serious mistakes. In addition, the tribute sent by the Lang Kingdom envoys this time is also quite satisfactory to the emperor, so the emperor does not need to hold on .

Therefore, the emperor gave him a sympathy, agreeing to bribe the envoys and hand them over to Lang Guo himself, and he only needs to kill his officials as an example to scare the courtiers.

Tang shi spent a few days in prison. She was immersed in her mother's affairs before, but now she finally figured it out.

First, something happened to her natal family, and now it's her turn. She believes what Meng Yunxiao said, because he is a fifth-rank official, and he doesn't have the guts to accept bribes from other countries.

Who is framing them behind the scenes?
Her natal family has no one to rely on, and now if Meng Yunxiao also collapses, there will really be no place for her anymore.

Meng Yunxiao also hated him, not only hated the person behind him, but also hated Tang in front of him.If she hadn't been impatient to send those gold bars out, she wouldn't have been discovered so soon.

He said: "The biggest mistake in my life was marrying you. You separated my wife and daughter, and now you are causing my family to be ruined."

Tang's eyes were red and swollen, she raised her disheveled head, looked straight at him, and said, "Isn't my family ruined? If I could be re-elected, I would rather marry a beggar than marry you again. The beggar gave him a copper coin and he still knows how to be grateful, but you are a white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to feed. Meng Yunxiao, do you think you are more noble than me? You brought the gold bars back by yourself, and now you have the face to complain On my head?"

As she talked, she thought she was telling a joke, but in the end she made herself laugh, and laughed repeatedly in the prison, unable to stop for a while.

Meng Yunxiao heard it harshly, and couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "Crazy woman, what are you laughing at!"

***
Meng Yunxiao and the Tang family have been imprisoned, but the rest of the Meng family have not been imprisoned yet.

So some servants, afraid of being implicated, wrapped up what they could roll up and fled overnight.In just two days, all that was left in the Meng family was the housekeeper who had been there for many years, and the two dowry nuns and maidservants of the Tang family.

Speaking of Meng Da's family, who settled down in the capital, Meng Da sent someone to help him find jobs. Ye Shi occasionally did handicrafts, and Meng Xuxu stayed at home, so of course he helped Ye Shi do it together.

The He family is still lazy, and the family's life is tight, but it's okay.

Meng Yunxiao hid it from the Tang family every month, and asked the housekeeper to secretly give some money to the Meng family.

Right now, when the housekeeper goes out, he goes to Meng Da and tells them about the matter.

Although this family is annoying, after all, they also got along with the current Princess Yin Wu and Mrs. Xia once under the same roof.

Meng Da used to be Meng Yan's uncle, and He Shi was also her grandmother after all.

The steward thought to himself that only the Yin Wu Palace could save the situation now.

Either way, you have to give it a try.

***
When He Shi came to the palace for the first time, he happened to meet Meng Yan and Xia Shi who were watching the two play in the front yard.

There are guards in front of the palace, and she couldn't even go up the steps in front of the gate.

As soon as he stepped up two steps, the guard pulled out his sword and pointed it at her, making her heart tremble with fright.

Fortunately, she vaguely saw a familiar figure in the gate, and opened her mouth and shouted: "Ah Nam, Ah Nai, I am your grandmother!"

He's voice is notoriously loud, not only Meng Yan and Xia's heard her shout, but also the servants in the front yard.

Meng Yan turned her head to look at the gate of the mansion, and saw that Mrs. He was being stopped outside by the mansion guards.

If it wasn't for seeing her right now, Meng Yan would have almost forgotten that there is such a person in the world.

Xia Shi was smiling gently at the child before, but when he looked up and saw He Shi, his expression couldn't help but fade away, and asked the nanny to take Yin Lian and Yin Lin to the garden to play.

The two only play in the front yard every day when Yin Heng is about to return home, and right now they just happened to be bumped into by He Shi.

Otherwise, the He family would not have the chance to meet Meng Yan and the Xia family.

He Shi commanded and said to the guard who stopped her: "See, I am the grandmother of your concubine! You bastard, get out of here!"

As she spoke, she boldly stepped forward again, but just as she was about to step into the threshold of the palace, Meng Yan suddenly ordered the guards: "If she dares to take half a step, I'll cut her off."

The icy sword of the Fuwei immediately rested on He Shi's neck, frightening her all over, how could she dare to step in unscrupulously, but had to take back the raised foot.

Mrs. He stood just outside the threshold, and the scene of the front yard of the palace appeared in front of her eyes. The spacious and tidy front yard, the corridors and the halls are all magnificent. It is much better than the house that Meng Yunxiao lived in when he was still a minister. De Heshi straightened his eyes.

It would be great if she could live here too.

Meng Yan looked at He Shi's expression. After so long, she still didn't make much progress.Her face was still fleshy, with a fierce look on her face, but her eyes were full of greed, and she didn't know that she should restrain herself a bit.
