Mei Mei Xiaoba was worried, obviously because she was really worried that Mei Sheng was not good for the lawsuit between Gui and Mei families. The reason why she hesitated was that she was a little worried, not for Mei Qingshu and his wife, but for Mei Ping's old couple. He was not unresentful in his heart, but just resentful. After all, he was a grandson and could not do anything without any concern.

Gui Chongyang shook his head and said, "What are you thinking about? You don't have to worry about this. Even if he is biased, it's nothing."

County Magistrate Zhang Liang was the confidence of Gui Chongyang in this lawsuit. Not to mention that Mei Sheng was just a young scholar or a juren, it was not his turn to go to the county government to make trouble.

It was Mei Sheng who brought the county school teacher out to express his feelings. The county magistrate who came from a poor family might give him some care, but Zhang Liang's family was a royal relative, and he was full of confidence and naturally he was less restricted in his actions.

The lawsuit between Gui and Mei families was originally a move by Gui family to "kill chickens and scare monkeys". Mei Sheng was not enough to make the situation change.

Gui Chongyang said it with confidence, and Mei Xiaoba was naturally convinced.

However, some elementary school students sitting in front and behind heard this sentence and were quite puzzled by Gui Chongyang.

People in the world say that "harmony is the most important", but I don't know how to take a step back in the Chongyang period of Guiyang? What's the use of Guiwu making more money in the town? If the people don't fight with the officials, the Gui family will not be afraid of Mei Sheng as an official and retaliation? Isn't this causing disaster?

At the entrance of the village school, Mei Sheng looked at Mei Chen with a little curious look in his eyes: "If you change the charge, punish Uncle Shu and Aunt Shu? Why did you think of this?"

Mei Chen touched the back of his head and said, "They are wrong, and they are punished. But if they carry the name of the thief, they will inevitably implicate the female members of the clan. Wouldn't it be just a matter of replacing the charge?"

Mei Sheng thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. The Gui family is the plaintiff. The current crime investigation has evidence. For them, it's worry-free and vented their anger. I'm afraid it won't change it easily!"

Mei Chen's eyes were filled with hope and said, "Fourth brother, I have been classmates with Gui Chongyang for three months. He is not a difficult person to talk to. Besides, Aunt Shun and Duoer clan sister are also girls of the Mei family. If he begs him well, he will respond."

Mei Sheng looked at his little clan brother and loved his innocent nature. Although this idea was a bit childish and inadequate, he was very kind, but he was more honest than his grandfather.

But he found the wrong person.

Also an orphan, Gui Chongyang hated Du Lizheng the most. With the idea of ​​"cleaning the grievances for his father", he also wanted to reveal the truth of that year as soon as possible and let the "behind the scenes" get the retribution he deserved. When he arrived at Mei Sheng, as he grew older, he found clues of that year. The person he hated most was not Du Lizheng, but Mei Xiucai, who was also suspected of "stealing money".

Mei Sheng had no intention of getting close to other Mei clansmen.

Everyone has a pair of snobbish eyes and a rich heart. In his early years, he was bullied by his uncle and aunt, so his clan members only thought they had never seen him. When he was "little Sanyuan" and came up one by one, he was not a fool, so how could he care about this kind of "love"?

In Mei Sheng's opinion, most of the Mei family are shameless people like grandfather and uncle, which will cause unfair things within the clan one by one.

Mei Sheng hopes that the Mei family is unlucky, how could he really help Mei Chen come up with ideas?

But Mei Chen looked at her eyes, and Mei Sheng did not refuse. She pondered for a moment: "I don't want Uncle Shu's lawsuit to implicate the clan, and there is no other way..."

Mei Chen hurriedly asked, "What method?"

"Let Uncle Ping come forward to sue Uncle Shu for 'unfilial'. Uncle Shu will be punished by the time and the Gui family will be angry. Uncle Ping will withdraw the lawsuit!" Mei Sheng said.

If a father and son are "unfilial", he will naturally be correct.

Mei Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "How... Is 'unfilial' a sin that is unforgivable?!"

Even though he had not studied the "Da Ming Law", Mei Chen had heard the lyrics and knew that this crime was not just a joke. If he found out the evidence, he would be unable to die, and he would be forgiven for being pardoned.

Mei Sheng said: "But only in this way can we cover up the previous 'theft' incident and make the Gui family willing to withdraw the lawsuit... As long as the uncle of the country finally withdraws the lawsuit, the county magistrate will not make things difficult for him. This kind of evil and rebellious case is not good-looking from the local officials, and no one wants to become a real case."

Mei Chen's eyes lit up when she heard this. If it weren't for the afternoon class, she would have wished she would go home to find her uncle immediately.

Mei Chen thanked me solemnly, and Mei Sheng said, "This is just a bad strategy. The most stable way is to open a ancestral hall and divide it into two places. Naturally, there is no need to worry about implicating one."

Mei Chen nodded and said, "That's right, I'll let him return to the clan after a few years."

With the example of Gui Wu, Mei Chen's "elimination of clans" is not a big deal, but there is still "returning to the clan".

Mei Sheng looked at the sky and did not delay any more. He advised Mei Chen to study for a few words and went back to the town. Now his second uncle has become addicted to drugs and has become a useless person. Although Mei Sheng is gloating, he is also very frustrated.

Before it’s your turn to take action, your enemy will be in trouble. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Thinking of this, a gust of wind blew, Mei Sheng shivered, tightened his old clothes, and accelerated his pace. However, he didn't know that Mei Xiucai lost all his belongings and started selling his nephew.

Xiji Town, Baiweixiang, private room on the second floor.

Mei Xiucai's face was sallow and a little flattering. While pouring wine, he said, "Why did Brother Jin come back? Brother Jin misses him to death!"

He has always been a show of airs, but now he is no longer able to do anything, and he is eager to call him brothers.

Lao Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a little pride: "It's not the Marquis's side. I'm not worried about the marriage of Miss Liang's family. I asked me to ask him several times. To be honest, I won't be able to find her in Sanhe. I just asked my wife to pick up Miss Liang and wait for marriage!"

When Mei Xiucai heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Since Liang Yiren and Liang Xianggong are both in Sanhe, Miss Liang will naturally marry and get cheaper!"

Lao Jin shook his head and said, "But Sanhe County is too small, and the local gentry family is only one of the Zhong families, but there are many houses, and the children of similar age have limited success."

"And our brother Sheng, the thirteen-year-old 'little Sanyuan', not to mention Sanhe County, even Tongzhou is a young man with a total number!" Mei Xiucai couldn't help but be anxious when he heard that things had changed.

Lao Jin didn't stretch it out and said directly: "But isn't Mei Xiaogong engaged? Mei's husband values ​​trust and righteousness, and our marquis is not willing to be suspected of taking away a son-in-law... Now it's not as good as before. The great family acts freely. The emperor moved the capital to Beijing, and the six ministers and censors of the six ministers and nine ministers came with him!"

Mei Xiucai hurriedly said, "The previous ones are not counted. It's just that Du Zhong has bad intentions and fooling my old man... I didn't agree at all. In the end, the marriage was not successful. It was a joke."

Lao Jin hesitated and said, "But your scholarly family is not the most important thing in trust and righteousness? This regretful marriage is not a good reputation. How can Mr. Mei be willing?"

Mei Xiucai waved his hand and said, "It's just a farce, just a few words, what's the matter? Even without the eldest lady of the Liang family, my nephew wouldn't really marry my aunt obediently, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the letter of engagement and didn't go back."

Lao Jin did go to Beijing a few days ago. After waiting for half a month, he finally met the real owner and praised Mei Sheng, a good candidate for his son-in-law.

The Hou Mansion also called people to come and inquire, and knew that Mei Sheng was indeed a veritable young man and was very satisfied.

Having a gambling addiction, Lao Jin was not worried that Mei Xiucai would not nod.

As for Mei Sheng, no matter how talented he is, he is only a fourteen-year-old child, and it is not his turn to decide the major marriage.

Halfway through the task, Lao Jin remembered the Du family's land and Gui family's shop, and said to Mei Xiucai: "Last time I talked about buying land, my husband Mei didn't forget it. After this matter is done, the Marquis will also remember your favor."

Mei Xiucai frowned and said, "Hey, I was thinking about looking for an opportunity to persuade my father-in-law, but who would have thought that the Gui family would buy Liuqing with the might of buying it? My Yue family would probably not sell the land again for a while!"

When Lao Jin heard this, he couldn't help but turn a black face: "Gui family? Which Gui family?"
