[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

It's always overwhelming to be jealous of a big vinegar jar. Fortunately, this is not the first time Pang Yu has encountered it, and he has long been experienced in dealing with it, so he grabbed Bai Yutang's skirt and kissed him.

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and stopped.

Letting go of the misunderstanding, even if they just stood there without saying a word, when they looked at each other, there was a charming feeling flowing between the two, making the onlookers blush.

Mei Niang watched boldly from the beginning, but she couldn't take it anymore. She rubbed her arms, said "I'll wait for you inside" and hid back in the flower hall.

When the two of them were done, Master Bao and Zhan Zhao came out of the study together, and Pang Yu finally understood why Bai Yutang was so sure that Mei Niang's favorite person was Zhanwei and not someone else.

Because she acted like two people in front of Zhan Zhao and in front of them!

In front of them, Mei Niang can be coquettish and foolish, and she can also make trouble for no reason, she seems to be free and willful.But in front of Zhan Zhao, she instantly turned into a chaste and quiet lady, delicate and timid, just like a lady of a big family.

Pang Yu didn't know whether Zhan Zhao could see it or not, anyway, the latter didn't look sideways and treated everyone equally, as if in his eyes, Mei Niang and Master Bao looked alike.

Mei Niang didn't dare to whet her appetite in front of Mr. Bao, and quickly told Bao Zheng that the Queen Mother ordered her to come here: "It was because of General Di's return to Beijing a while ago..."

Mei Niang sighed heavily.

General Di Qingdi is the Generalissimo of Pingxi Township personally appointed by the Holy Majesty. He is very good at dealing with Xixia. He has guarded the frontier for many years without defeat.

This General Di is the younger brother of Empress Di, the concubine of the Eight Sage Kings. He has an unusual background and is said to be young and handsome. , Let Di Qing get married by the way when he returns to Beijing to report on his work.

This marriage has killed people.

Since she is Di Niangniang's own younger brother and the eighth virtuous king's brother-in-law, Zhao Zhen certainly cannot find Di Qing a daughter-in-law from an ordinary family.His Majesty searched all the civil and military family members of the Manchu Dynasty, and finally helped Di Qing choose He Jinlian, the only daughter of the new Minister of Punishment, He Lie.

This unlucky girl was killed by Di Qing on the first day of their marriage.

A happy event turned into a funeral in the blink of an eye, and the two families became enmity, causing the emperor to lose face in the court.

Although Di Qing said that He Jinlian did not kill him, but that he wanted to kill a female assassin who was born exactly like He Jinlian, but this kind of argument did not get much support, because no one except Di Qing had ever seen the female assassin. Di Qing was talking nonsense because he didn't want to be charged with murder.

He Lie even burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty has learned! The little girl has never left the capital after being raised, and she rarely even steps out of the house. How could she go all the way to the northwest to assassinate General Di! I don't know if the little girl disobeyed the general on the night of her wedding. , to make the general angry, or the general thinks that the little girl is not worthy of him... Even so, it is enough to make peace, and there is no need to kill her, that is a living life, please Your Majesty to decide!"

Zhao Zhen was really in a dilemma and had a headache.

On one side is the Eight Sage King who treats him like his own son, and on the other side is He Shangshu who is full of tears. Zhao Zhen really regrets the messy things he did in a flash of his head. As a result, the marriage fails, and he may lose a general on the contrary. .

Public opinion was in dispute, so Zhao Zhen had no choice but to imprison Di Qing in the general's mansion first, and then try again later.

The burden of trying the case naturally fell on Mr. Bao's shoulders.

The reason why Mei Niang came to Kaifeng Mansion was because Di Niangniang and Queen Mother Li were close friends in the boudoir and had a deep relationship.Niangniang Di begged the Empress Dowager, hoping that through the Empress Dowager's relationship, Lord Bao could handle Di Qing's affairs fairly. She believed in Di Qing's character, but most of the voices in the court were not good for Di Qing, and even the Eighth Prince could do nothing about it.

At this point, Mei Niang finally finished speaking and let out a sigh of relief.

"What the Empress Dowager means is that this case is complicated and confusing, and she is helping the manager rather than the relative. But Niang Niang misses her brother very much. I wonder if my lord can let her enter the general's mansion to see General Di?" Meiniang asked.

Master Bao thought for a while, then nodded: "That's fine, I can ask Niang Niang to ask General Di again carefully, and see if there are any clues that I missed that day."

The case was not progressing very well, Mr. Bao had a headache for a while, and Mr. Gongsun was not there, so he could only find out that He Jinlian died of a knife wound, but he couldn't compare whether it was at the hands of Di Qing, which made it impossible to start.

The key point is to ask Di Qing, but Di Qing himself can't explain clearly. He said that there was only a female assassin in the room, and then said that for some reason the female assassin turned into He Jinlian. I'm afraid there was something wrong with the drinks in the room that night. .

It's a pity that there were too many traces of fighting in the room, almost all the decorations were destroyed, and even the wine cup was broken on the ground. It was very difficult to find out whether there was poison in the wine.

Just when Mr. Bao was having a headache, Pang Yu and the others just came back.

Zhan Zhao brought him a letter written by Mr. Gongsun himself. After reading it, Bao Zheng suddenly had a bold guess.

Could this murder be committed by Xixia again, in order to get rid of the general Di Qing?

The news brought back by Zhan Zhao and the others is very important, almost making Mr. Bao feel like he has seen the light of day. If it is just a murder case, it may be difficult to get to the truth no matter how hard the investigation is. But if there is the direction of Xixia, then just follow this clue , you will be able to find more things than you can see.

Mr. Bao's mind was running fast, and he was still in deep thought when he heard Mei Niang's timid voice say: "Then... I also brought the words, I don't know if I can... um... borrow from Mr. Bao, Mr. Zhan?"

"Me?" Zhan Zhao was caught off guard by his name, a little stunned.

Mei Niang's cheeks were slightly red: "I finally went out of the palace and wanted to bring some special snacks for the empress dowager. I don't know where to buy them. Can you help me?"

Zhan Zhao has no problem: "Yes."

"Then thank you, sir!" Meiniang said quickly, as if she was afraid that the other party would regret it.

Bai Yutang clicked his tongue: "Cousin, the restaurant under the name of Zakong Island also has a branch in the capital, why don't you go there to buy dim sum?"

Mei Niang glared at him quietly, then smiled like a lady, "I don't dare to work on my cousin, otherwise the young master will be angry!"

Pang Yu: "..." He didn't say anything!

Bai Yutang nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's good that you know, if you want to buy or see anything in the future, just go to Mr. Zhan." Anyway, just don't come to hinder him and the little crab.

Mei Niang rolled her eyes, her dignified expression could hardly be maintained: "Yes, yes, I understand."

After speaking, he dragged Zhan Zhao away without looking back.

Pang Yu bumped him with an elbow: "It's your cousin after all, why don't you dislike her so obviously?"

"There's no need to worry about that. Mei Niang is kind-hearted, and she can forget anything when she turns around." Bai Yutang shook his head.

Hey, these cousins ​​have completely opposite temperaments.

Pang Yu looked at the sky and said, "I guess I'll have to stay in Kaifeng Mansion to make a living tonight. I have to go and see if Pang Fu is still waiting at the door."

As he said that, he called a young servant to help him pass the message to the door, and if Pang Fu hadn't left, he asked him to leave the horse and go back home first.

Only then did Bai Yutang understand why Pang Fu showed such a meaningful expression when he saw him, and he also felt that Pang Yu would definitely go back soon - probably because of Mei Niang.

Although Pang Fu's brain is useless on the right path, he is also a fine individual.
