The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

When Meng Xian put on her veil and came out, there was a large group of soldiers at the main entrance of Meng's mansion.

They are lined up in a row, so majestic.

The leader was an officer named Wang Quan, who was quite famous in Beijing, but not a good one.

Wang Quan's ability to flatter people is first-rate, and he is extremely smooth and tactful in his words and actions.

Talking about people when seeing people, talking about ghosts when seeing ghosts,

No one is easily offended.

Just like now, he was respectful and courteous to Meng Hong, "Mr. Meng, we were ordered to pursue the murderer, but the thief disappeared when he arrived near this place. In order to prevent the thief from escaping, and for the safety of your house, please allow me to Just wait until we find out."

If you reach out and don't hit the smiling person, the other person will be courteous and polite, and Meng Hong will naturally be easy to talk to.

If you act with integrity, you will naturally not be afraid of being investigated.

And the purpose of this group of people does not seem to really be to thoroughly investigate the Meng Mansion.

It was just a symbolic walk around the whole house.

Meng Xian saw all this in the dark.

It seems that the drunkard is not interested in drinking.

Otherwise, how could any officers and soldiers conduct such a superficial and careless search?

Sure enough, Wang Quan didn't seem surprised at all when he heard his subordinate's report that he had learned nothing.

Instead, he approached Meng Hong and whispered something in a low voice.

Meng Xian only noticed that her eldest brother raised his eyes in surprise, and then replied something, causing Wang Quan to leave in anger.

After everyone left, Meng Hong summoned Meng Wan and three others and repeated Wang Quan's original words just now.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has admired the name of the Meng family in Jiangnan for a long time. Hearing that the young master is in the capital now, he would like to invite you to meet him. What do you think of the young master?"

Meng Hong naturally knew that the prince did not really want to see him, but was plotting something behind his back.

As for what this thing is, it is self-evident.

Then he said with sincerity and fear: "The common people and common people are really afraid of the dignity of the prince in person. If His Highness the Crown Prince has any important matters, just give him direct orders. The common people will do their best to serve you, even if they die."

In fact, the implication is -

What you and I know well is just a matter of meeting;

If you want money, just quote the amount, and I won't miss you even a cent of what I can do.

The fact that Wang Quan was able to leave voluntarily after getting this promise from Meng Hong showed that Meng Hong's move was exactly what they wanted.

If the goal is achieved, naturally no one is willing to waste any more time.

After Meng Hong finished speaking,

The three sisters across from each other exchanged glances, all looking down thoughtfully.

Meng Qi was the first to speak, "It seems that what happened today, the door-to-door search was fake, but the message sent to his master was real."

"These people are actually sent by the prince?"

Meng Hong frowned, "Don't we see this kind of thing too often?"

"Once the fox's tail is revealed, it's not difficult to guess what he wants to do."

Meng Wan put it bluntly: "Looking at it from this, the prince is eyeing our family's money."

Meng Xian's thoughts wandered, "He shouldn't be ruthless, right?"

Meng Qi rolled her eyes at her like she was a fool, "If the prince of a country really did such a shameless thing, he would be drowned by the saliva of a civil official and censor."

Meng Wan felt wrong, "On the face of it, he certainly wouldn't dare, but our Crown Prince is obviously not a gentleman. Who can guarantee that he won't stab him in the back?"

"That is, people with great power want to make things difficult for ordinary people doing business. They can make people bankrupt for any reason. We must be on guard."

"If the prince's goal is money, if he wants money, he can just use the excuse of serving the country and the people, and we will give it to him."

Meng Xian nodded: "Things that can destroy wealth and eliminate disasters are no big deal."

"I'm just worried that the prince has a weak heart and wants far more than that."

Meng Qi: "Don't worry too much. Our Meng family has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and the old trees are deeply rooted. Those little gods and devils cannot easily knock them down."

Meng Hong pulled back his sleeves, his expression as calm as ever, "I'm telling you this because I don't want you to be kept in the dark, but I definitely don't want you to worry more."

"In a word, there is no need to worry too much; our guards have been well-trained over the years, and when necessary, they are not just freeloaders; secondly, dad's power in the world is also our confidence."

Meng Wan nodded in agreement, "Don't forget, there is still uncle here."

Talking about Meng Zhou, Meng Xian suddenly remembered what happened some time ago, and felt a little guilty at the moment.

But he didn't dare to hide anything from Meng Hong, so he boldly confessed the matter of pretending to be ill.

Meng Hong didn't reprimand her, "Auntie's behavior is indeed looked down upon, but she is an elder after all, and she is the daughter of the great master. Our rules on the surface do not allow people to find faults."

"As for the rest, we don't bully others, but we can't be bullied by others. We also try to cause as little trouble to ourselves as possible. If we really don't want to go to Taifu's Mansion, we won't go. We can see as few people as possible if we don't want to see them."

With Big Brother's words, Meng Xian felt more confident. She told Meng Hong softly, "Big Brother is so kind. I know that Big Brother won't bear to wrong us."

Meng Hong finally had a smile in his eyes at this moment, "As for Meng Lin..."

"We didn't grow up together, nor are we of the same mother. We are separated from each other in our hearts, and we are not sure about many things."

"I don't have much to say about how you girls get along with each other on weekdays. I just want to say, don't embarrass your uncle."

No matter how unpleasant the Wang family is,

But the uncle Meng Zhou is so good.

Several people recognized it.

……

News that the Meng Mansion was being searched by officers and soldiers gradually reached the ears of Jiang Heng and Meng Zhou.

Tufu's Mansion

After hearing the report from his men, Meng Zhou was furious. He immediately threw the official document in his hand angrily and said, "It's too much to bully others. What is the prince's intention in doing this?"

Meng Liang, his subordinate, has followed Meng Zhou for many years and is also a confidant. "The master is like a clear mirror in his heart, and his subordinates dare not say anything."

Meng Zhou snorted coldly, "Our Highness the Crown Prince is really getting more and more capable. What he did today is no different from the bandits who came to rob someone's house. How can he be the crown prince of a country?"

Meng Liang was surprised when he heard this.

You must know that although their lord has always looked down on many of the prince's actions, he has always maintained the natural right for the prince's eldest son to inherit the throne.

Now listen to this,

Did he change his mind unknowingly?

"In terms of caring for people's livelihood and strategies for governing the country, the Crown Prince is absolutely inferior to His Highness Prince Ning."

Meng Zhou made no secret of his dislike at this moment, "But he was reincarnated and was born in the queen's womb, becoming the eldest son."

Meng Liang really felt that their lord was angry and confused, otherwise such a cautious person would actually say disrespectful words now, "...My lord, be careful what you say, and be careful that walls have ears."

Meng Zhou was so angry that he didn't forget to ask: "Now that the three Wanwan sisters are in the capital, haven't they suffered from this farce?"

Meng Liang said hurriedly: "Don't worry, my lord, Mr. Meng Hong is in charge, and the other three girls didn't show up at all. Naturally, they can't be said to be at a disadvantage."

"That's good."

Meng Zhou sighed and said helplessly: "My three nieces were born a little too well."

"I'm really worried that someone with evil intentions is targeting them."

Meng Liang smiled and said, "When did the Lord look down on those three girls?"

"Furthermore, the people the second master has placed around the three girls are all highly skilled in martial arts. It will definitely not be a problem to protect the three girls."

Meng Zhou smiled bitterly, "There is such a big movement today. If you hadn't paid attention and inquired, I'm afraid Hong'er and the others would never have found me anyway."

Meng Liang felt a lump in his throat and turned to comfort Meng Zhou.

"Master Meng Hong has grown up now, and his strategic skills are not inferior to those of the second master. Naturally, he is not willing to ask for help easily."

Meng Zhou waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more. "I know exactly why."

"Wang is my wife and the daughter of my mentor. Even if I don't understand some things, it's hard for me to speak harshly to her. But over the years, she has become more and more exaggerated."

"Xian Lian has lived in the capital for so long, but he has only come to my place a handful of times. I know the reason better than anyone else."

"Whenever relatives come to visit from Jiangnan, her nose is always not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes. But when it comes to accepting those precious coins, she has never been polite."

"Like this, it really makes me embarrassed to face my second brother, let alone the elders from Jiangnan."

Meng Liang also didn't understand Wang, the mistress.

The master and the second master have a deep brotherhood, and the second master is respectful and polite to his eldest sister-in-law;

But the mistress has always looked down upon the second wife. She feels that merchants are full of the smell of copper and cannot be elegant. They even use contemptuous words in their words, many times in front of the mistress.

In this way, how could the master not be separated from her husband and wife?
