Fang Bao was speechless by Meng Eqi's choking, so he turned around and ignored her. After a while, he couldn't help but turn around: "What did he tell you just now?"
Meng Eqi glanced at him and said slowly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Fang Bao put his hands around his chest and said righteously, "We are grasshoppers on the same boat, should you tell me?"
"Why should I tell you?" Meng Qiqi looked from top to bottom, and let out a cold snort from the tip of her nose: "If you are a murderer, if I tell you, won't I really be venting to you?"
"..." Fang Bao felt that his chest was a little blocked by her few words.
Anyone who is beautiful is gentle and considerate. He sees this Meng Eqi beauty as beautiful, but her mouth is more powerful than her face! But then again, why did he seem to have seen that Young Master Sheng somewhere...
Fang Bao rubbed his chin in thought, and squatted to the corner.
What Sheng Jiayan said was right. At night, the people from the yamen let Meng Eqi out. Listening to Mo Chunfeng carrying Zhao Hu to Nie Xinna to testify, he also gave evidence of Meng Qiqi's poor martial arts.
I heard that Lin Gaoshan personally went out to defend Meng Eqi's affairs at that time: "Miss Meng, that girl, I don't think she would dare to kill her. I'm afraid she wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken. How can you kill someone?"
Mrs. Lin echoed on the side: "Yes, if she really knows how to kill people, why was she kidnapped last time, and she was chased by gangsters all over the mountain?"
Even Lin Jingxing put his hands behind his back and pretended to be old-fashioned: "If you were the one killed by Brother Mo, I might still believe it. If it was Sister Meng, it would be ridiculous."
Meng Eqi knew that the Lin family trusted her so much, she was moved to wipe away her tears and roared in her heart.
I really don't dare to kill, but what does cowardly mean! ? I thank you family!
In short, Meng Eqi walked out of the yamen prison unscathed, leaving Fang Bao's envious eyes behind, and swaggering out.
On the day of reunion, Meng Eqi returned to the West Garden of Gao Mansion, and Lin Gaoshan's family was also going to wash the dust for her.
Meng Eqi looked at the brazier in front of her, Mo Chunfeng and Lin Jingxing were slapping her with grapefruit leaves beside her, and the Lin couple looked at her expectantly.
"Are you... going to have a picnic?" She took a step and looked at the crowd.
"Silly child!" Mrs. Lin scolded with a smile: "The sudden prison disaster is too bad, cross the brazier to get rid of bad luck, and grapefruit leaves will beat bad luck."
"Ah?" Meng Qiqi was taken aback for a moment, she looked back and saw that Sheng Jiayan's face was actually light, and she didn't mean to stop it at all.
Meng Eqi looked at the guys who were standing around her in front of her and encouraged her to step over the brazier. After hesitating for a long time, she finally bit her head and reluctantly stepped over the brazier, and immediately received a thunderous applause.
At the same time, the underworld officials who were watching the third episode of the life of Hades and Mengpo also burst into applause and cheers.
Of course, these Meng Qiqi were inaudible.
After she stepped over the brazier, the three of the Lin family swarmed up with grapefruit leaves, slapped from the top of her head to the back of her feet, and swayed from side to side like a dancer. The scene was really weird.
At this moment, laughter suddenly sounded behind him, and everyone turned around to find that Fang Bao was dressed neatly, with gold and jade all over his body, and the emerald finger on his thumb jumped by the green shadow of the fire. He unfolded the fan: "You guys are so lively."
Sheng Jiayan raised his eyebrows with a disgusting expression of 'why are you again'.
Meng Qiqi was still quite surprised: "Why did you come out so quickly?"
Fang Bao stepped over the brazier on his own: "Of course, why can't you come out when you can come out? You didn't kill people." Then he grabbed Lin Jingxing and said, "Quick, quick, I will also give it to your cousin. Pat, beat, go to get rid of bad luck."
Lin Jingxing turned around and ran away in disgust, Fang Bao rolled up his sleeves and chased after him.
Xiyuan is very noisy.
Meng Eqi looked up at the starry night sky, and only thought that tonight was an excellent night.
A shadow flashed past at the hanging flower gate, Sheng Jiayan swept away a cold look, but there was no one behind the door.
…
In the dark and damp dungeon, rat ants roamed. Drops of water fell on the sticky ground, wetting the dirty and messy straw again.
Gao Lan shrank in the corner, her hair was dry and her complexion was dull. She was disheartened and no longer had the arrogance of Sister Gao's that day. She stared at a mouse that had been dead for a long time on the ground, wondering what she was thinking.
There was some cloudy water in a broken bowl in front of her.
The dungeon is slightly different from the prisons of Guan Mengqiqi and Fang Bao. The environment in the dungeon is extremely poor, the guards are rough, and the food is not served on time. There are often people who will never be released here. When Gao Lan was first arrested, there was a mad woman locked up with her.
The woman was so hungry one day that she grabbed a mouse and took a bite. Then, within half a day, she foamed at the mouth and died.
Gao Lan remembered the disgust on the faces of the officials when they came in to carry the woman's body, as if looking at them were no different from the mice in the prison.
All the same, humble and lowly.
The water in the bowl in front of Gao Lan shook, and the sound of unlocking the chain came from the door of the dungeon.
"You have to hurry up, time waits for no one, Mrs. Gao." The official weighed the rich silver taels in his hand impatiently, winked at the two subordinates, and they all backed off together.
Mrs. Gao smiled apologetically, "Thank you, sir."
Then she carried her skirt and entered the dungeon with two maids.
In the dungeon, the damp and rotten smell rushed into her nostrils, and Mrs. Gao covered her lips and almost vomited.
Her Gao Lan was actually locked up in such a place for three whole days!
Mrs. Gao had mixed feelings in her heart, and she tried her best to calm down.
"Mother!?" Gao Lan heard a familiar voice, and a few bright colors appeared in her empty eyes again. She knelt to the door and grabbed the wooden railing: "Mother, did you come to see me?"
Mrs. Gao walked over quickly, and saw that her once bright and pampered daughter was now gray-headed and her hair was already disheveled, and she was worse than the beggar outside. Mrs. Gao was the first to cry: "Laner, mother is late."
Gao Lan grabbed Mrs. Gao's hand tightly, and cried out with her heartbreak: "Mother, get me out. I don't want to stay here anymore, it's terrible here, everyone is dying. They don't give Lan I'm eating, but Laner kills someone, and I'll never be able to get out. I really can't take it anymore, mother, save me."
Why doesn't Mrs. Gao know the pain in her daughter's heart? But this time it was the Dali Temple in the capital who sent officials to follow up on the matter. Rao was Gao Xian and Mrs. Gao trying their best to get Gao Lan out, but to no avail. It seemed that Mrs. Gao was able to visit Gao Lan this time, and she didn't know how much money she spent. She and Gao Xian's savings were folded in half on weekdays, in exchange for a brief chance to meet today. Gao Xian had written the matter into a secret letter and sent it to the capital two days ago, wanting to ask the Crown Prince for help, but Donggong has not made any statement until now. I am afraid that it is also weighing the pros and cons, and Concubine Zhao must have also exerted pressure on the court.
The people of the Zhao family are afraid that they are being cruel.
Of course she didn't dare to tell her daughter these words, she only comforted: "Your father is already thinking of a way, don't worry. Soon, you will be able to go out soon."
Gao Lan wiped her tears and nodded sadly, knowing that she had little hope. Suddenly she remembered something, and raised her eyes again: "Mother, does Young Master Sheng know?"
When Mrs. Sheng was mentioned, Mrs. Gao became angry: "Why do you even mention him? With that girl Meng by his side, how did he want to get you!? I'm still out of my mind."
Mrs. Gao hated in her heart, she originally planned to let Meng Eqi also taste the taste of prison. Who knew that Young Master Sheng had such a great ability, and he rescued her in just one day.
It's a pity that Meng Eqi can't feel the suffering of his daughter more.
Gao Lan shook her head, still unwilling to give up on Sheng Jiayan: "Mother, I want to tell you something. After you hear it, you must discuss with your father or not. You can directly help me find Young Master Sheng."
"What's the matter?" Madam Gao looked at her suspiciously.
Gao Lan's eyes seemed to light up gradually, and her dead heart revived a little bit: "I suspect... Young Master Sheng is the one in power in the capital. There are a few others with the next surname Sheng, not to mention the daughter of the same appearance. I can't remember wrong! Mother only needs to go to my room and show him the Peiyu on the second floor under my makeup box, and he will know it's me."
"Is this true!?" Mrs. Gao was extremely surprised. Seeing her daughter's determined appearance, she didn't seem to be able to lie, not to mention the keepsake
"It's absolutely true!" Gao Lan said in a hurry: "Mother, if he is really the person in the capital who is less than ten thousand people, you can go and beg him. As long as he opens up the golden mouth, to Who would dare to embarrass my daughter again?"
The only person in power in the capital is the Regent. Madam Gao can hardly imagine that the regent is staying in one of their high mansions as a guest? If this is the case, this is indeed a good way to save Laner.
But unlike what Gao Lan had imagined, Mrs. Gao had another evil plan coming out of her heart.
She temporarily appeased her daughter: "Don't worry, mother will help you bring the jade pendant to him."
The two were reluctant to part, and the official finally came to urge Mrs. Gao to leave. After Mrs. Gao turned back and left in three steps, she went straight to Gao Xian's study before she could even wash up.
At this time, Gao Xian was entangled in government affairs and was extremely annoyed. He saw his wife came in without etiquette, and there was an inexplicable stench on her body.
Mrs. Gao closed the door, the excitement in her eyes was a little crazy.
"You, if we find a way for the crown prince to seriously injure the regent, will Laner be saved? You can still be promoted all the way up the ranks, and we will rest easy from now on!"
Gao Xian was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes darkened a little.
