Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Meng Tan twitched the corner of her mouth, waved her hand, and pointed at her heart to show that she knew what she was thinking. She also pointed at Tian Yunxiang's belly and made a sleeping look to show that she would just take care of the pregnancy.

Tian Yunxiang has been taking good care of her recently, so she doesn't get pregnant.

Looking at Meng Tan's worried and concerned eyes, Tian Yunxiang blushed. She thought differently. Her mother didn't treat her as an outsider. She guessed that her uncle gave the news too quickly, and her mother-in-law was injured and lacked energy, so she didn't think of telling her. After all, My mother is not at home every now and then.

"Mom, I'm paying attention."

Tian Yunxiang said soothingly, then she heard footsteps coming from outside, and a much thinner figure appeared in the yard.

The two looked at each other, and Meng Tan was startled.

[Tsk, Mr. Cui, are you asking thieves to rob you? Why are you so thin and so green now? You haven't rested, okay? ]

Meng Tan had never seen Cui Ping like this before. His clothes looked empty and dusty, and he could vaguely see what he looked like when he was pure.

The tall and straight pine and bamboo trees looked a little crooked, which made Cui Ping's sluggish face look inexplicably distressing.

Cui Ping was so angry that he almost overthrew Fuling when he got a secret letter from the Holy One saying that he would be gentle with the leader of the Huainan clan and that the Zhang and Lu family would give up the water trade in Jixian County and the Huainan clan's business chain. The camp of the county military guard.

Everyone else was caught!

He was all ready to sharpen his sword and overthrow the entire Huainan clan, but the Holy One just let him fart!

Before he came back, he thought about talking to Meng Tan. Meng Xiangu was a wonderful person and understood his thoughts. She might be able to say something comforting.

No, when he saw someone, he felt a little aggrieved and couldn't say anything comforting.

A grown man stared at Meng Tan, his beautiful eyes slowly turned red.

He was embarrassed that there were outsiders around, so he had to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

Facing the official, Tian Yunxiang felt a little uncomfortable. Meng Tan patted her and pointed to the stone bench on the other side of Cui Ping. Tian Yunxiang hurriedly helped her mother-in-law sit down.

Then, Meng Tan waved to Tian Yunxiang and the two sisters. Seeing that they were gone, Meng Tan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and waved it in front of Cui Ping's eyes.

[Hey, if you want to cry, just cry. There is no one left. ]

"Hey! Who's crying!" Cui Ping raised his head suddenly, and a crystal tear slipped down his cheek and fell on the gray beard.

Meng Tan closed her mouth, then waved the handkerchief. Cui Ping pulled it and wiped his face, his voice whining.

Looks so aggrieved.

"Is there anyone who is a good friend like you? Seeing my sadness, you won't comfort me if you don't want to comfort me?"

Meng Tan gritted his teeth and couldn't help laughing. Cui Ping looked so fresh.

However, you still have to fight when you should.

[Who is your friend now? Last time, who thought I was too dirty and didn’t want to be friends? Mr. Cui, are you shameless when you say this? ]

"You!" Cui Ping couldn't believe it. He stood up and pulled on his dusty robe, looking at her like a betrayer. "Thankfully, you are the first person I see when I come back from thousands of miles away."

[…When you come in from Shen Mansion, you can see many people along the way. ]

Meng Tan didn't buy it, what she said was so ambiguous. She was an old lady, no, now she was a famous old lady, the majestic Goddess Meng. She didn't want any scandal to spread.

[If you have a grievance, just say it. If you have difficulties, just say it. Maybe I can give you some advice. ]

Cui Ping instantly became depressed, his face collapsed, and he sat back opposite Meng Tan, "How can I tell you about the secrets of the imperial court? I am just upset, but it is my fault that you are upset with me." Meng Tan: …

[Turns face. ]

Cui Ping raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Tan. Meng Tan looked at it carefully, then stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers.

Cui Ping was even more hurt. With a sad look on her face, she dug around and took out a pair of gold bracelets with filigree inlay and agate. The workmanship was very fine and she placed them in her palm.

Meng Tan panicked for a moment when he saw the bracelet.

[Can’t this thing be given to me? ]

Cui Ping looked away, "I collected the bribe on the way back."

Meng Tan: ...How dare you say that.

Meng Tan stopped and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Hey hey, sent.

[What, use money to help others eliminate disasters. I will treat these bracelets as the one hundred taels you owe me, as well as the money for this visit. ]

"Yeah." Cui Ping responded in a muffled voice.

[Looking at your facial expressions, I guess it must be what happened this time. The murderer was caught but couldn’t be brought to justice, right? ]

"Ah."

[This matter is very involved. The people in charge of you don’t want to make a big deal out of it, they just want to knock the mountain and shake the tiger to achieve a certain goal, but you are bothered by the fact that you can’t do anything about it? ]

Cui Pinglian didn't respond and just nodded.

[Master Cui thinks that if the tiger returns to the mountains, the people in this area will also suffer in the future, right? ]

"Yes, he obviously understands this truth. The previous dynasty..." Cui Ping's chest heaved violently and lowered his voice, "The previous dynasty's collapse was mostly due to these aristocratic families! Now, actually..."

[You still want to let it grow bigger, enclose land, collect money, and sell people. What is the difference between Chu and the previous dynasty? What do you want to say? ]

Cui Ping turned to look at Meng Tan, his eyes lit up, "The one who knows me is an immortal girl."

[...You are really a gentleman. Hey, you used to look like a very cunning person. Now you actually try to deal with these people. You can think about it with your toes. You know it is impossible. There are not only dozens of Huainan aristocratic families, but tens of them. They have been married for generations, and the nearby counties and states may be their territory, and they also control commerce and teaching. Most of the officials in the court are also the children of these families. ]

[You are so brave, you want to touch the foundation of others, are you not afraid of death? ]

"Don't be afraid! The founder of the Chu Kingdom, Taizu, was just to make a living for the people. He himself was born as a commoner, and he fought for the common people all his life. When my father entered the court, he assisted Taizu in order not to see the suffering of the world again. My eldest brother, my second brother, and I entered It is for the sake of the world that the seas and rivers can be clear."

When he said this, Cui Ping lost his previous unruliness and unreliability, and was replaced by a determination as strong as the rocks in the mountains and seas.

The upright posture is like a cold pine.

Meng Tan was stunned, and his heart was pounding.

[It is impossible to move the big ones now, but the small ones can be moved, and the big ones may not be able to cause them to bleed, but...]

Cui Ping looked at her with a stern look, "Xiangu said, if being a gentleman cannot allow the people to redress their grievances, what if I become a villain for once?"

Meng Tan waved his hand and chuckled.

[It's not that serious, it's just a bit shameless. ]

[The people above you definitely want to take it lightly, but they can’t let it go easily and make those people take it lightly. You might as well deal with the minions below you first and kill two relatively important people in Zhang and Lu’s family. , surrounded the entire Fuling County, arrested the powerful people in the family, and prevented those family members from getting any news. ]
