It wasn't until the Meng family was imprisoned that he had a chance.
Originally, he just wanted to satisfy his own selfish desires. People were going to die anyway, so it was better to give him an advantage.
So, he found an opportunity to force her to become his woman.
He did not dare to release criminals privately, but he could not resist Meng Hongshuang's temptation and her sweet words, so he was fascinated by her.
Originally, Meng Hongshuang wanted to save her father, but he was not stupid. He was already taking a huge risk by getting her out.
Later, Liu Zhengchun took office, and the imperial censor came to the capital. Although he deceived Meng Hongshuang's matter, he was still guilty of being a thief and was always afraid that the matter would be exposed.
As a result, he was absent-minded when doing things and was dismissed by Liu Zhengchun.
In the past, he would have refused to accept it, but because of his guilty conscience, he had no choice but to admit it.
I thought that Meng Hongshuang really wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, but she didn't expect that she wanted to kill her.
After hearing Yang Wanli's words, Liu Zhengchun's face turned pale. He knelt down and said, "The lower official made an oversight and allowed others to take advantage of the loophole. Please ask the regent to punish him."
Shen Zhixu stood up, bowed to Xiao Chengyi and said, "I was also wrong. I didn't realize that Meng Hongshuang faked her death. I asked the regent to punish her."
Xiao Chengyi said: "The prisoner is dead. It was your fault that you did not identify him, but catching Meng Hongshuang is the most important thing right now."
He asked Yang Wanli: "Where is Meng Hongshuang?"
Yang Wanli said: "She said she wanted to go out of the city to pay homage to her parents."
Xiao Chengyi looked at Qingying, who replied knowingly: "When I went down, Yang Wanli was the only one in the Yang family, and I never saw anyone else."
Xiao Chengyi said in a deep voice: "Take someone to find him."
"yes."
Qingying clasped his fists and turned to leave.
Xiao Chengyi's eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he felt that Meng Hongshuang had most likely run away.
She instigated Yang Wanli to bring them wine. If they were poisoned to death, she could both take revenge and get rid of Yang Wanli.
Even if the poison doesn't kill them, she can still get rid of Yang Wanli.
But as a girl, where could she escape to?
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Are there any relatives in the Meng family?"
Liu Zhengchun was stunned for a moment and replied: "Mrs. Meng Tonghui also has an older brother who is a wealthy gentry in Jingzhou. After the Meng family's incident, the Sun family did not show up."
He asked Xiao Chengyi: "The prince is guessing that Meng Hongshuang may have the help of the Sun family?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "We just came to Yunzhou City today, even if Meng Hongshuang knew it, how could he prepare the poisonous wine in such a short time?
Someone must be helping her behind the scenes, and she and that person have probably escaped from Yunzhou City now."
Liu Zhengchun said: "I will lead people to pursue him in the direction of Jingzhou. I will definitely arrest him and bring him to justice."
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "Let Xiu Chen go with you and be careful."
Liu Zhengchun and Ye Xiuchen received the order and hurriedly went to look for the person.
Mu Yun'an said: "This woman named Meng is really courageous. No wonder she dares to seduce you."
When Xiao Chengyi heard this, he only regretted that he had not killed her immediately that day and caused himself so much trouble for no reason.
But Mu Rufeng didn't forget to tease him: "It's not his face that's to blame."
The corners of Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched. Is it his fault that he looks good?
Just as he was about to refute, he saw Qingying coming back and saying anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Meng Hongshuang has kidnapped Mr. Liu's wife and children in the Meng family's old residence and wants to see you by name."
Xiao Chengyi stood up for a moment: "Who do you think she held hostage?"
Qingying replied: "They are Master Liu's wife and children."
