The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 90
Jiang smiled far-fetchedly and said to Meng Qingyi lovingly: "Stop joking, how can there be two identical people in the world, Yi'er, your father was just angry at the beginning, and didn't mean it. If you If so, come back quickly."

"Madam, does this mean you don't understand the words of the younger generation?" Meng Qingyi interrupted Jiang Shi's soft words of persuasion with a cold face, looked at Jiang Shi coldly and said: "The younger generation has introduced himself just now, and the younger generation's name is Song Qing. He is the son of General Song Feng."

The explanation without a trace of emotion instantly brought the situation between the few people closer to a dead end.

In the end, Master Shen broke the stalemate, hehe smiled and bowed to Meng Qingyi and said: "This is the first time I have heard of Mr. Song's existence, little official. It's a pleasure to meet you."

When Meng Qingyi faced Mr. Shen, he was not as fierce as he was when he was facing Meng Zhong and Mrs. Jiang just now. He bowed politely back in the officialdom and said: "The younger generation has admired Mr. Shen's name for a long time, and I often hear my father mentioning Mr. Shen, saying that Mr. Shen Your Excellency is impartial, honest and clear about public and private affairs, and is a very rare good official."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Meng Qingyi's words, but it was not easy to detect.

After listening to Meng Qingyi's praise, Lord Shen chuckled and said modestly: "It's General Song who praised you absurdly, and the petty official just kept his duty."

Obviously, Mr. Shen was only immersed in Meng Qingyi's praise, but he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words.

"This Mr. Song, the government is dealing with some housework right now. If Mr. Song didn't say anything important, please come back next time." Meng Yiwan was quite normal about Meng Qingyi's sudden appearance. He was really surprised at the time, after all, he was someone who had already been thrown into the mass grave, but the most important thing right now was to get rid of Meng Qingyi.

However, after hearing Meng Yiwan's words, Meng Qingyi raised his chin slightly and said, "Unfortunately, I did come here for this matter."

Meng Yiwan frowned slightly and said, "What does Mr. Song have to do with his sister stealing the dowry?"

Meng Qingyi smiled, took a step closer to Meng Yiwan, and said, "Then I'm curious, what evidence did you get to prove that she stole the dowry?" He put his eyes on Lord Shen and said, "Master Shen, you should be the one who knows the details of this matter, right?"

Mr. Shen naturally knew the cause and effect of this matter. After all, he came to arrest someone. If he didn't know what crime this person committed, it would not be called arrest. Hearing what Meng Qingyi said, he replied naturally : "It's not that Miss Meng stole the dowry, but her mother, Mrs. Zhang, stole the dowry from Second Miss Meng, and then gave it to Miss Meng to open a grand restaurant."

After hearing this, Meng Qingyi sneered and said, "Is there any evidence for these things? Or is it just someone's nonsense?"

Master Shen hurriedly said after hearing this: "Of course, I will come to arrest people only if I have evidence. I don't like listening to Mr. Song's words."

Meng Zhong had recovered his appearance at this time, but he still took a deep look at Meng Qingyi. The more he looked, the more he felt that the other party was his son. The matter was over, so he thought about it and said: "This matter has been proven and cannot be questioned. The old man advises you this time, but don't stop me." Meng Zhong specially used you instead of Mr. Song because He still has no way to admit that the other party is someone else's son.

Meng Qingyi smiled, lowered his eyes and played with the tassel on the hilt of the sword, and said in every possible way: "In this way, you are just using one person's words and one restaurant to charge Miss Meng and her mother to you." Okay, is that what you mean?"

"If it wasn't for stealing the dowry, where would my sister get the money to open such a big restaurant!" Meng Yiwan couldn't help but reply.

What Meng Qingyi was waiting for at this time was their words. He suddenly put down the tassel he was playing with, and slowly took out a stacked piece of rice paper from his bosom, and then slowly spread it out, displaying it in front of everyone's eyes, slowly He said: "Unfortunately, this restaurant was opened by the younger generation with the money of the widow's mother. Because Miss Meng is kind to the younger generation, the younger generation wrote her name on the title deed. In Missy's hands, if Meng Cheng and Mr. Shen don't believe it, you can confront the original owner of this place, as well as the shopkeeper of the restaurant. At the beginning, the size of the restaurant was all right and I was in charge."

After Meng Qingyi finished speaking, the whole courtyard fell silent for a while, and he was a little unresponsive to the sudden change.

However, the most unresponsive and unacceptable person is Meng Yiwan. Her carefully designed situation was interrupted by this unknown boy, so wouldn't her hard work these days be in vain?

"What's the use of talking without proof! Since my sister's name is written on this land deed, it means that this restaurant belongs to my sister. Even if you hold it in your hand, you don't want to talk nonsense in front of Mr. Shen!" It took a lot of effort to get Meng Yi to be convicted of the crime.

"Second Miss Meng's eagerness to defend herself looks as if she wished for her sister to die quickly." Meng Qingyi looked at Meng Yiwan with a strange expression, and smiled very mysteriously.

Meng Yiwan's heart sank, and she said with a cold face: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I want my sister to die, but this dowry is the dowry given by the prince of the current dynasty to the little girl, and it would be a serious crime if I lost one or two , this time the little girl just has no other choice."

"That would be great." Meng Qingyi still smiled strangely.

"Master! There is a person outside who claims to be the original owner of the restaurant and asks to see the master!" At this time, the official rushed in again and reported to Meng Zhong.

Everyone present was quite surprised, after all, the original owner of the restaurant didn't invite him at all, and he sent it to the door himself.

"The original owner is the richest man in the south. He originally wanted to build a house and courtyard here, but it was useless for some reasons. After that, I bought the land, so this time I invited his parents and children. Come here, this time, please ask the Prime Minister to let that person in so that he can explain everything clearly."

Meng Zhong was also very curious, so he sent officials to invite the man over.

"Bring that person here." Meng Zhong ordered.

Not long after that, the man walked anxiously into the small courtyard wearing a good-quality robe, saw Meng Qingyi as soon as he came in, and hurriedly approached and complained: "Brother Song Qing, it's been a long time."

When Meng Qingyi saw that person, he showed a genuine and open-minded expression on his face, he bowed to that person and replied: "Brother Zhiyuan, I'm really sorry for dragging you all the way from the south this time. "

Ma Zhiyuan hurriedly replied: "Brother Song Qing is surprised at what he said. The friendship between you and me, why bother to talk about troublesome things." After Ma Zhiyuan said, he bowed to the others and introduced himself: "Junior Ma Zhiyuan , isn’t he the direct son of the Ma family in the south, this time I heard Brother Song Qing say that there is a dispute in the capital because of a piece of land that the younger generation just sold, so I came here to see what’s going on.”

The Ma family in the south, although there are no officials in the family, has a lot of influence in the current dynasty, because the Ma family has already become rich and powerful, and the silk business they run covers most of the country.

Hearing that the person who came was actually the son of the Ma family, a flattering smile appeared on the faces of the group of people in a hurry. Meng Zhong had tried to win over the Ma family earlier, but he was rejected at that time. The son-in-law of the family was face to face, of course he didn't want to miss such a great opportunity, and said: "Please trouble Mr. Ma to come over in person, it's just a trivial matter of the family, not worth mentioning."

"This is Meng Zhong, Prime Minister Meng." Ma Zhiyuan, as the direct son of the Ma family, was naturally not an ordinary person, with shrewdness in his eyes, he said to Meng Zhong.

Meng Zhong quickly said yes, and Ma Zhiyuan was more polite after hearing this, before asking about what happened.

Jiang Shi and Meng Yiwan did not expect so many people to be involved, and they looked at each other with a bad feeling, but the characters who came at this time were not something that the two women could interfere with, even if they wanted to interfere, then Sometimes there is nothing to do, so I can only stand aside and watch the development of things.

Mr. Shen told Ma Zhiyuan everything. After hearing this, Ma Zhiyuan's calm face wrinkled slightly, and then he turned his eyes to Meng Yizhen, who was alone and hanging his head, and said, "You are theirs." The Miss Meng you were talking about, right?"

Meng Yizhen heard the other party call his name, glanced at Ma Zhiyuan, slightly blessed Fushen and said: "My little girl Meng Yizhen has met Mr. Ma."

Ma Zhiyuan looked at Meng Yizhen's eyes flashing with admiration, and then said to the others very ashamedly: "You really made a mistake, the land in Zhenlou used to be mine, and you can find it from the yamen. Yes, later Brother Song Qing mentioned to me that he wanted to open a restaurant, and I thought that the location was not bad, but it happened to be useless, so I sold it to him. At that time, Brother Song Qing wrote Meng Yizhen on the land deed. When I mentioned the name, I was still curious, and Brother Song Qing told me that he bought it for his benefactor."

Every word and sentence of the complaint at this time was like a blow to the Jiang mother and daughter. They wanted to quibble, but the identity of the other party was there. The shops of the Ma family were all over the country, and they had their own piece of land in Beijing. It's not surprising.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong couldn't help but look suspiciously at Jiang's mother and daughter, and repeated with some hesitation: "Is what Mr. Ma said is true?"

After hearing this, Ma Zhiyuan laughed, and said: "My Ma family has never participated in the disputes of court officials, let alone housework. This junior thinks that Prime Minister Meng should be clearer than others."

Touching Ma Zhiyuan's shrewd eyes, Meng Zhong deliberately looked away, coughed lightly and said: "Since someone has come forward to testify that this restaurant was not built by Mrs. Zhang stealing jewels, then this time it is the old man." Misunderstood Zhener, Mr. Shen really troubled you to go." Meng Zhong made a slightly awkward bow to Mr. Shen.

"Then Mrs. Zhang committed the crime alone?" Mr. Shen bowed back and asked.

Asking this question, although Meng Yizhen is innocent of minor crimes, there is nothing wrong with Zhang, the instigator, who is still full of crimes.
