Rebirth: The First Daughter and the Ruthless Concubine

The next day, the sky was clear and clear.

Because Meng Junheng heard on the first day that there was a new chef in Yipinju who was very good at cooking, Meng Wan wanted to try it.

After all, in the past few days, I was busy dealing with Meng Junyao and Huangfu Qian, making calculations every day. Now, I finally had a moment of leisure, so I couldn't let it go to waste.

So early in the morning, I wrote a letter to the palace, then put on men's clothes and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although it was a cold day in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the sun was shining brightly. Sitting in front of the window, waiting for Meng Junheng, the shallow light cast a little warmth, and before I knew it, my mood improved.

He raised his chin with his bare hands and looked out the window with his pink neck exposed, looking at ease and at ease. At this moment, his attention was attracted by a quarrel outside.

"You stole my money!" The voice of an old man suddenly made Meng Wan frown. Someone stole money in broad daylight?

Turning to look downstairs, a large group of people gathered in front of a cake stall. In front of the cake stall, an old man pulled a middle-aged man: "Everyone, help me catch this thief. He stole my money."

The middle-aged man pushed the old man aside: "Old man, you don't want to slander me. Do you have any basis for saying that I stole your money?"

The old man stretched out his hand again angrily, and the veins on his withered hands suddenly appeared. It was the result of years of hard work: "You...you just passed by my stall, and then my money disappeared. Tell me, you didn't steal it, then I

Where did the money go?”

"Haha -" the middle-aged man laughed: "I will say that I stole your money when I walked away from you." He pointed at the birdcage in his hand, "Then this bird also passed by your stall.

Why didn't you say it stole it?"

"You--" the old man was speechless, his face turned purple, and he couldn't say a word to refute for a long time.

At this moment, Meng Wan couldn't sit still.

She was not a nosy person, but the old man looked really pitiful, and the middle-aged man was so eloquent that he didn't look like a good person, so at this moment, she couldn't just sit back and ignore him.

Thinking like this, he got up and went downstairs: "This brother is so handsome, of course he cannot be a thief."

Everyone was focusing their attention on those two people when a clear and crisp voice suddenly sounded out, with a little certainty in the clear voice.

Everyone cast their eyes over one after another, but saw a handsome-looking man walking over. With his delicate features and delicate features, he was three points more handsome than the woman.

The middle-aged man's eyes immediately lit up: "Look, this little brother is a discerning person. He can tell at a glance that I am not a thief."

Meng Wan was a little disgusted and stepped back without any trace, avoiding his gaze.

"Then tell me, who is the thief? Is it really this bird?" People around were talking.

"Yes." Meng Wan nodded with determination and agreed repeatedly: "I agree with this man's statement. This bird is highly suspicious. I think it is most likely the thief."

"How is this possible?" The old man said anxiously: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense here. How can a beast steal something?"

The people around laughed loudly, thinking this was stupid.

Meng Wan waved her hand and gave everyone a calm smile: "Don't laugh, everyone, I'll prove it to you."

As he said that, he picked up the bamboo stick from the old man's stall nearby, rolled it around in front of the birdcage, and knocked it hard against the ground, "Bird, you bold fat bird."

Meng Wan circled around the man holding the birdcage: "Now, I'm here to interrogate you. You must know everything and say everything."

Meng Wan looked at the people around him and squatted down, "Do you admit that you stole my old man's money?"

The bird in the cage stared, turned around and made no sound.

Meng Wan smiled, took a bamboo stick and pushed it into the cage, and knocked on the bird: "What a stubborn fat bird, and it is so stubborn that it resists to the end. I will give you a taste of it!" As he said,

Knocked twice more.

The bird was in pain, twisted its body, and chirped and hummed.

"Come on!"

Meng Wan smiled and put her ear close to the cage. No one knew what she was doing, they just thought it was a trick and she was laughing.

Meng Wan didn't seem to be aware of it, just murmuring to the bird cage, and listening to the birds humming, she nodded repeatedly: "It would be better if I had done it earlier, so as to avoid this physical pain.

"

The bird hummed a few more times, and Meng Wan just stood up and clasped her fists at the people around her: "This fat bird has confessed. It was indeed the one who stole my old man's money."

"Did it really say that?" the middle-aged man asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Meng Wan nodded.

"Haha, I just said it, it's not me." The man was proud and laughed loudly.

"How is this possible!" Everyone thought it was ridiculous, and the old man was on the verge of crying: "How could a beast steal money? Little brother, please tell me where it hid the money."

Meng Wan smiled mysteriously: "The bird said that it has a high house above and a house full of children and grandchildren below. It is really helpless to steal money. Therefore, as long as everyone is kind and no one donates a copper plate, it will be left for its family.

If there is enough food, then it will tell everyone where the money is. How about, if everyone wants to know where the copper coins are, then donate a penny!"

Meng Wan walked to the old man's stall, got a bowl of water, and then walked around the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to join in the fun or not.

"Okay, I would like to see how this bird talks." At this moment, a man's voice with a laugh sounded from the crowd.

Meng Wan heard the sound and looked over, only to see a man walking from the crowd. Even though he was old, his extraordinary bearing was still full of intimidation.

Meng Wan raised her eyes and took a look. She couldn't help being stunned. She frowned slightly and secretly cursed, Your Majesty, why are you out of the palace now?

However, before she could think about it, people in the crowd started to urge her. She suppressed her thoughts for the time being and walked towards the crowd.

Everyone who was watching the excitement was originally full of doubts about this matter. Now they saw someone investing a coin and they all followed suit - they wanted to see how this fair young man would prove that the bird stole the money. After a while, they all started to invest money.

Full of copper plates.

Meng Wan watched everyone's actions with satisfaction, and finally walked up to the middle-aged man and stretched out the bowl in front of him: "Brother, don't you want to clear your name?" She said, leaning the bowl forward, "

Put a coin in it and I will clear your name."

The man was very reluctant, but at this moment he could only follow the crowd. Anyway, the young man seemed to be helping him, so he took out a copper plate from his sleeve and threw it into the water.
