The warden cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Meng, you're too polite. A young jailer cannot afford to be called such a lord."
Meng Qinghe: "..."
The warden sighed and said: "Master Meng, our Master Zhao has something to tell you. I know your purpose of coming and how much you love your daughter.
However, regarding the daughter's issue, it's really not that we, Mr. Zhao, don't want to give you face.
But His Highness King Yi has an order in front of him. This matter must be handled according to the rules. It is useless even if you beg us adults. No one dares to give Qin Yuan a break.
I can only ask for your forgiveness, Mr. Meng!"
Meng Qinghe was shocked: "Why is His Highness King Yi involved? Isn't he the head of Anping County?"
Prison head: "The daughter's matter is indeed related to the Anping County Lord, but it is also inseparable from His Highness King Yi. Doesn't Lord Meng know about it?"
Meng Qinghe shook his head.
The prison chief gave a brief summary of what happened at the Royal Racecourse, and then said: "This matter is the fault of the daughter, and the Anping County Lord has obtained the ironclad evidence. In front of His Highness King Yi and the two princes, who dares to show favoritism?"
Woolen cloth?
Even Meng Zheng, the eldest son of your Meng family, was present in person, and even he did not dare to intercede on behalf of the daughter.
We, Mr. Zhao, can only deal with it impartially and arrest the person.
so......
Mr. Meng, it is useless for you to plead with us.
The trouble should end it!
Unless the Anping County Lord personally relents on this matter, or His Royal Highness King Yi speaks out.
Otherwise, no one would dare to let your daughter out, let alone give her too good treatment, so as not to suffer in the eyes of others."
Zhao Chengwei is well-known as a strict and honest official, but he is not someone who does not know how to adapt.
Sitting in the position of Jingzhao Prefecture, you will often offend others. In addition to the bottom line principle, you also need to be appropriately tactful and shrewd occasionally to avoid making too many enemies.
Such as now.
Zhao Chengwei had expected that Meng Qinghe would come to see him.
But he really couldn't make the decision without permission, and he didn't want to offend the Meng family too much.
So he told his confidant, the prison chief, that if Meng Qinghe came to see him, he would tell him the whole story.
On the one hand, it is a small favor, but on the other hand, it is also telling Meng Qinghe that if you want to save your daughter, you can only ask the rightful owner. The Jingzhao Mansion is just an errand boy and does not have such great power.
After hearing what happened, Meng Qinghe was shocked and said in disbelief: "Is what you said true? Wanqing wants to harm the head of Anping County?"
How can it be?!
His daughter is so well-behaved, sensible, kind and obedient.
How could someone have such a vicious heart and kill the Lord of Anping County who has no grievances and no grudges?
Could it be a mistake?
The prison head said: "This matter is not only His Highness King Yi, but also His Highness King Xiang and King Cheng, as well as more than a dozen young masters in the capital, and noble ladies are all present. Our Lord Zhao personally sent people to investigate, and there are both witnesses and material evidence, including Meng Wanqing herself.
Neither can refute it.
So, this thing is indeed true.
If this were not the case, our Lord Zhao would not have directly captured Meng Wanqing as a prisoner." This chapter has been completed!
