Before dawn, everything was silent. Miss Six suddenly screamed in her sleep, covering her heart with both hands and gasping for air.
It turned out to be a dream.
He rubbed his heart, then his face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the dream, Miss Six was lying on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She heard the banging sound of the patrol, it was already late at night. She suddenly sat up, lifted the quilt, put on her clothes, and called Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er to get up.
Zhen Ping'er asked, what happened? Tang Mei said that she was angry and wanted to go to the Supervisory Office to find the person named Mei.
Wang Jin'er said, why would Miss Sixth go to such a thing in person? Just let the slave go and scold her, and she would not dare to come again. Tang Mei said, let me ask her a few questions first. If she answers well, I will
Give her money to leave Luoyang; if she doesn't answer well, I will drive her away together with the man named Su.
Not long after, Tang Mei arrived at the Supervisor's Office and summoned Grandma Wang and Zhu Tao and Feng Die. Six masters and slaves knocked on the door of Mei Ran's room. Mei Ran quickly dressed, but as soon as she unbolted the door, the door suddenly burst open, and a group of people
He rushed in. Grandma Wang was the first to bear the brunt and gave Mei Ran two mouths as soon as she entered the door.
"Shameless little vixen! You seduced a man, and you even came to his house! See if I don't beat you to death today!"
While talking, Grandma Wang raised her hand to slap her, but was slapped twice by Mei Ran. Seeing that Mei Ran dared to fight back, Tang Mei invited Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er to come with her, and the three of them fought against Mei Ran. The space in the room was small, so Mei Ran opened her eyes wide.
Unable to perform the combined Kung Fu, he withdrew into the bedroom. Aunt Wang and others chased her into the bedroom. Mei Ran broke the window and jumped out into the yard.
How could Tang Mei let her go? The six masters and slaves surrounded Mei Ran, beating and kicking her. Tang Mei also reached out to scratch her, but suddenly Mei Ran took out a golden knife from her sleeve and pierced Tang Mei's heart...
When the bang sounded, she was actually already asleep, but her soul flew to the Supervisor's Office and had a fight with the wild woman named Mei.
Miss Six exclaimed, causing Zhen Ping'er to run over and ask what happened. Tang Mei said, "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
I really couldn't sleep this time. It was just dawn. Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er had already gotten up, dressed quickly, and then went to fetch water and boil water. Although they were already big maids with brocade clothes, they were slaves after all. It was cold in spring.
In the winter season, I get up early to boil hot water for the ladies, but they wash themselves with cold water.
After the water boiled and cold water was added, Zhen Ping'er came upstairs with the washbasin, only to find that Miss Six was missing.
Tang Mei had long hair that reached her knees. She just tied a hair tie "at waist level" and came to the superintendent's office alone. Without saying hello to anyone, she went directly to the backyard and knocked on Mei Ran's door.
Mei Ran's voice came from the room: "The door is not closed, you can just come in."
Tang Mei opened the door and looked into the hall. She didn't see Mei Ran coming to pick her up. She only heard the sound of quilts being folded from the back room.
Tang Mei walked to the door of the back room and looked at Mei Ran, her eyes scrutinizing.
Mei Ran turned around and saw Tang Mei. Miss Six had just put on some clothes and was wearing a nightgown underneath. Mei Ran was stunned for a moment, but not long after, she turned around again and put the folded quilt in the cabinet.
After putting down the quilt, Mei Ran came over, hugged her shoulders and looked at Tang Mei: "The lady from the Duke's Mansion is really beautiful. She is really not comparable to a wild girl like us. No wonder Su Ping likes her, I also like her when I see her."
Maybe Tang Mei was full of anger, but now most of it was gone. She stared at Mei Ran and looked up and down: "You and Su Ping were originally a couple, weren't you?"
Mei Ran turned around to move the stool, and when she heard Tang Mei speak, she turned around suddenly: "Don't talk nonsense. The eldest young master of the Su family is a good man, and he has high vision. Not all women can like him."
After saying a sentence, Mei Ran whispered in a low voice and took the bench and put it next to Tang Mei: "Don't affect his reputation because of me."
"Who can prove that he is a good person?" Tang Mei looked at the bench and sat down and asked.
Mei Ran sat on the couch: "You can ask Lin Tong, isn't he your brother-in-law?"
"Forget it, I won't ask, I just believe my own eyes." After saying this, Tang Mei fell silent.
Mei Ran tilted her head: "I heard that you want to drive him away. Are you serious?"
Tang Mei held the handkerchief in her hand: "If he leaves, it will help you."
Mei Ran shook his head: "No, he doesn't like me."
"Then why does he take care of you so much?" Tang Mei looked sideways, not looking at Mei Ran: "He said a long time ago that he wanted me to find something for him to do, and he said that I could work as a small catcher in the county. At that time, I
I was just wondering, what's the point of being a policeman? It turns out it's because you are there."
Mei Ran stood up suddenly and said: "Ha, you are overthinking! Originally, I went to take the exam for delinquents, and I already got the rank. But later, the handsome delinquent named Tong Yin blamed me for pretending to be a man and deceived him, so he sent me to the county.
He's gone. I never told him about this, it was just a coincidence."
Tang Mei also stood up: "Tong Yin? Who is he?"
Mei Ran said: "He is the uncle of the Meng family, but I don't know who his wife is. I didn't even ask."
Tang Mei asked: "Are you a descendant of Tong Xiang?"
"Tong Xiang?" Mei Ran shrugged: "I haven't heard of it."
Tang Mei smiled bitterly: "You don't even know about the previous prime minister?"
"Previous dynasty" can refer to the previous dynasty, or the previous era when the emperor was in power, just like the emperor and his courtiers. Mei Ran shook his head, slightly embarrassed, but pretended not to care.
Tang Mei thought of something: "You just said you were going to test bad guys? Is it like a martial arts contest?"
"Of course, bad guys catch thieves all day long and are always ready to wield swords and guns. This time Tong Yin wants to recruit people who can fight, but none of those people can beat me. Even Tong Yin can't beat me." Mei Ran was proud.
say.
Tang Mei looked at Mei Ran again and felt that she was the kind of person who could see through everything at a glance.
…
Su Ping left early in the morning and took Mei Ran to the Penal Department Yamen to wait for news. However, after waiting all morning, he did not see Shilang Xue.
It's not that Shilang Xue doesn't do things, but that he is too busy.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice became busy. People came and went in a hurry, and there were also many people who came here to wait for news. Everyone sat there with their own thoughts. At noon, Mei Ran ran to the street and bought four
Pie. The two of them sat in the hall to eat, and the smell of leeks was everywhere.
After eating the pie, Mei Ran lay down by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, her eyes wandering.
Her attention was easily attracted by "things in motion". At this time, she was staring at a pair of siskins on the top of a tung tree branch. The male siskin held an worm in his mouth, approached the female siskin horizontally, and handed the siskin to the female.
But the female bird ignored the male bird and moved to the side. The male bird refused to give up and continued to chase the female bird to feed. Mei Ran found this scene very interesting and invited Su Ping to watch it together.
This girl Mei Ran is like a tenacious grass. She has experienced a lot, and the old monk also taught her many experiences in the world, but her heart is still as pure as water. Maybe this is "knowledge" and "understanding"
The difference. What the master imparted to her was only knowledge, and it could not change her understanding or her view of the world.
Her soul is pure, and the world in her eyes is also simple and pure. Pure good, pure bad. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Love and hate are clear. Sometimes, Su Ping even envies her.
A clerk came to greet him, and Su Pingmeiran quickly followed the clerk to Shilang Xue's room.
Seeing Su Pingmeiran come in, Xue Pang put down the documents in his hand: "I heard that you have offended the county magistrate because of this matter."
Su Ping said: "Yes."
Xue Pang said: "I think you should not go back to the county."
Su Ping and Mei Ran looked at each other, and Mei Ran smiled, thinking that she had been promoted, but Su Ping said: "My lord, don't be surprised, Su is a person who can't sit in the squad room."
"Oh?" Xue Pang smiled bitterly and stared at Su Ping: "I heard that you are from the Tang family?"
"Yes."
"Is the Huang Sanlang incident the Tang family's idea or yours?"
"It was the lower official's idea."
"Why do this?"
"To put it in official terms, I am responding to the call of the imperial court and striving to solve unjust, false and wrong cases. But in front of Mr.
Worry, there is no need to work so hard anymore. The reason why I have to do this is that I can’t stand the world."
Xue Pang smiled deeply: "I don't care what tricks you come up with, I only watch you do things. It doesn't matter whether you sit in the shift room or not, as long as you do the things I ask you to do well. But if you can't do it well
, then go back and forth from wherever you are.”
In fact, there was no shortage in the Criminal Department at this time, but it was not difficult for Xue Shilang to transfer two people from the county, not to mention that Ximen Kan was happy to send away these two hot potatoes, so this matter was handled very smoothly.
Xue Pang sent two incompetent swordsmen to the county as detectives, and let Su Ping and Mei Ran enter the Ministry of Punishment. They had no official positions and were just two swordsmen. However, Xue Pang said that they would be promoted by half a rank.
Therefore, Su Ping was promoted from "Deputy Team Leader of Jiupin County Yamen" to "Ninth Grade Swordsman of the Punishment Department". However, there was a problem when promoting Mei Ran because the Ministry of Personnel said that Mei Ran was not included in the ranking list of Yongkang County.
Shilang Xue didn't have time to worry about such a trivial matter, so he asked his classmate Yuan Wailang to take care of it.
The Yuanwailang asked Mei Ran what was going on? Mei Ran said that he had been admitted as a delinquent first and was transferred to the county by the delinquent. Yuanwailang smiled and said that the delinquents belonged to the Ministry of War, so no wonder they could not be found in the county. Then Yuanwailang
I went to the Ministry of War to find him, but the Ministry of War said that there was no such thing as Mei Ran in the list of bad characters.
Yuanwailang was a little confused. Based on Mei Ran's explanation, the Ministry of War retrieved documents related to the selection of bad guys, but Mei Ran's name was not on them either.
"What's going on?" Yuanwailang said with a sullen look on his face: "Are you here to deceive the official?"
