Chapter 42

At that time, Meng Wanfeng found out another incident of breaking the law in the third room of the Meng family, but this incident did not cause any splash in the capital.

The emperor was too busy rebuilding the account books for the Ministry of Households to talk to Meng Wanfeng, but concubine Meng Shu was called to Weiyang Palace by the empress to reprimand her. It hit the third brother's face.

"Putting loan sharks and forcing people to death? Are you still casting money privately? The Hou's mansion is short of your food or your clothes? Are you going to hold me back like this? Now the emperor has no time to deal with this matter. In normal times, ten heads It's not enough for you to chop!"

Third Master Meng was very angry, on the way back home he began to think about how to kill that crazy girl Wan Feng.

In the Song Mansion, Mr. Song wanted to ask Li Zhao to advise him about marrying his daughter, but he couldn't find Li Zhao at all, because Li Zhao went out of the capital to help the third master of the Meng family clean up the mess.

But this matter can't be left alone. Li Zhao was also irritated by the greed of the Meng family. He only cleaned up the first and last ends of the private minted money, but he didn't care about the loan shark to force people to death. The master handed it over to Dali Temple for investigation.

Dali Temple was very busy, and the verdict was issued in three days, and the third master Meng and the third wife were sentenced to exile in Lingnan together, and the matter ended so lightly.When the emperor asked about it in the future, everyone had already been exiled, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Lingnan is the domain of His Royal Highness King Su, so he would always miss the third uncle and the third aunt, anyway, people can't die, at most they just suffer a little bit.

King Su also wrote a letter from Lingnan to the capital to beat Baoding Hou Shizi.

When Li Zhao went to deliver the letter, he didn't look good. Sanfang must not be the only one involved in such a big matter.Although Master Meng San is greedy, he is a coward. Without the support of the eldest son Hou Shizi, he has no courage to do it at all.

Meng Changhai, son of the Marquis of Baoding, took Li Zhao's hand and cried poorly: "Your Highness, the emperor has given our Meng family a chance to go to the battlefield for so many years? Where can the generals who can't go to the battlefield get money? Do you rely on the salary of the Marquis? How much money will it cost in a year to maintain the appearance of our huge Hou Mansion? Isn’t it true that your cousin and aunt and I have nothing to do!”

Li Zhao looked at Mrs. Shizi's full head of pearls and emeralds, and whispered into her ears how poor she was, feeling so disgusted that he swallowed a fly. He asked the yellow door behind him to come forward and handed a sandalwood box to Baoding Hou Shizi.

Meng Changhai opened the box to have a look, and immediately closed the box in shock, his face flushed red, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or excitement.

Li Zhao said blankly: "There are 10 taels in total. This is a ticket number recognized by Huizhou merchants and Jiangnan merchants. It cannot be faked."

Shizi Meng's hands trembled a little, and he didn't dare to look at Li Zhao. He heard that he entered the military camp with his father at the age of eight, and would kill people at the age of ten. This rumor is really not a lie!

"My lord, what did your highness say?" The matriarch of the majestic Hou's mansion was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly.

Li Zhao hummed, tapped his fingertips on the coffee table, did not speak, looked at Yan Shi and Meng Changhai with a half-smile, the husband and wife's complexion became paler and paler, and finally they knelt down, their foreheads firmly fixed He was leaning against the floor tiles, dripping with cold sweat.

Li Zhao finally spoke, his tone was neither urgent nor slow, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made people breathless.

"My father has never spent a penny of Baoding Hou's mansion in these years, and even the expenses of the ladies in the palace are supported by our Su Wang mansion. In fact, even if something happens to you, it will not be implicated in my mansion. This time, my son and my father could have stood by and watched, but my father is a protectionist. After all, he still cares about his cousin's family. This 10 taels is the last bit of affection that our palace gave to Baodinghoufu. If you do something shameless again, don't blame the palace for turning its face and refusing to recognize anyone! Also, there is already a son from the royal family in Suwang's palace who is married to the Meng family, so the daughter of the Meng family will not be considered in the marriage of this son, you Both of you need to be aware of it.”

After finishing speaking, Master Meng and Mrs. Yan repeatedly promised to rectify the internal affairs and not to cause trouble to Concubine Shu and Prince Su's mansion in the future, Li Zhaocai stood up and walked out slowly.

Baoding Hou and his wife let out a sigh of relief, but they didn't want Li Zhao to stop when he reached the door, turned around and added, "That Meng Zhili is also a disaster, so deal with it as soon as possible."

"But our old Meng family..."

Snapped!
With a flick of his wrist, Li Zhao slammed the folding fan in his hand onto Lord Hou's face mercilessly. Master Meng let out a wail, and fell down clutching his nose. Yes, Shizi's wife, Yan Shi, was so frightened that she almost fainted.

"It seems that my cousin needs this to understand what my son is saying."

Obviously he was an elder, but Shizi Meng looked at Li Zhao who was full of murderous looks, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and dared not say a single extra word, trembling, and slowly lowered his head.

He believed that if the Hou Mansion didn't deal with Meng Zhili, Meng Zhili would be quartered on the bed in a few days.

Li Zhao can definitely do it, that wolf cub pretends to be Mr. Pian Pianjia, but he is a pirate and bandit inside!
Here, Li Zhao was even more angry. After coming to the capital, he had wiped the buttocks of the Meng family's idiots for countless times. They didn't think they were dirty, but Li Zhao thought they were stinky.

Sometimes he is worthless for the old master Meng, half his life is a soldier, he is injured all over his body, and the glory earned by the first half of his body will be squandered by these uneasy sons and daughters.If it weren't for King Su being a protector, he would have long since refused to pay attention to the Baodinghou family and let them destroy themselves!
