Chapter Eighty-Four: The Ups and Downs of Life
Meng Kuo planned to call it a day, but Pan Lanfang wanted to say something and stopped, she still wanted to say something, she trembled, and stopped the person who was leaving: "I...... I know everything I know, will you embarrass the Meng family?"
Meng Kuo was silent and looked at her quietly.
She asked again: "Huai'an's crime, will it affect the Meng family?"
Meng Kuo really wanted to be involved in the Meng family, but Meng Huai'an's strength alone was obviously not enough, but he didn't say anything, and asked, "What do you think?"
"The fault is his alone, and what to do with it is your business. Pan Lanfang used all her courage, "It has nothing to do with the Meng family, it has nothing to do with ...... at all."
Meng Siru couldn't help but shout at her: "Mother, why do you say that?"
"It's not your right to speak, shut up!" Pan Lanfang was unusually strong in front of her.
Siru was used to being disciplined, and took a step back and lowered his head.
But He couldn't understand it, so he said the next words for Siru: "Is there a mother like you, even if Huai'an can't be saved, even if you ...... To say a thoughtful word, how sad would that child be in prison if he heard your remarks?"
"Do you understand, I'm saving the Meng family, saving you. Pan Lanfang was annoyed and shook off her hand, "We don't have a backer now, he was brought out by Lafayette, Lafayette doesn't care anymore, he is a hidden danger now, the Meng family has to find a backer again, even if they can't find a backer, they can't let the family be an eyesore!"
Meng Kuo on the side was surprised by these words, he looked at Pan Lanfang, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel like she was a person who could figure out these truths.
Of course, these truths were not figured out by her, but the advice of the old lady of the Meng family to Meng Hongxian before her death.
Meng Kuo became interested, sat down again, felt her thoughts, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "That's right, Meng Huai'an is from the Meng family, he committed a crime, your Meng family is to blame, and it is not difficult to clear up the relationship, as long as it is ......"
He began to plan, or take this opportunity to end the Meng family, but the Meng family did not break the law, and it would not work to openly "burn, kill and loot".
So, is it okay to remove the Meng family's porcelain paintings from Xuncheng, when the Meng family is nameless and profitless, they will fall apart, and they can only become a legend.
He said quietly: "As long as you take the initiative to close the kiln factory......"
Pan Lanfang didn't hear this, she gritted her teeth and suddenly said a word.
Meng Kuo was stunned by these words, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and He and Meng Siru also dropped their jaws in shock, and they couldn't speak with their mouths open.
Pan Lanfang said this quickly, but with determination.
"Huai'an is adopted, he has nothing to do with the Meng family!"
After she said this, she exhaled fiercely, and then her speech slowed down: "He is him, the Meng family is the Meng family, you have a clear score, he can't affect us if he commits a crime, our Meng family is loyal to the emperor, really!"
Meng Kuo digested these words for a while, and after a long time, the look of surprise slowly retracted, and when he heard her talk about the affairs of the court, he felt funny: "Just women and children, how can you represent the Meng family?"
But when he got this important news, he couldn't make a decision, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and raised his hand: "Go back!"
The people behind him had the courage out of nowhere, and they even chased him out and shouted: "He really has nothing to do with us, his parents are slaves, and he is a child of a house slave." ”
"What is his background, the official will send someone to find out!" Meng Kuo said, and walked to the courtyard.
Siqing, who was still being detained in the courtyard, was shocked when she heard Pan Lanfang's shout, and she didn't have time to think about anything else, so she immediately looked at Meng Kuo vigilantly.
Meng Kuo happened to walk in front of her and looked at her, looking at each other, one deep and cold, and the other frightened.
"Are you afraid that he will affect you?"
"What are you going to do with him?"
The two of them asked at the same time, and then stopped abruptly at the same time.
Siqing replied first: "Family, never abandon your duty." ”
"Or think he's a family?"
"Yes!" she nodded.
Meng Kuo was silent, just looked at her, stared at her eyes, looked at her for a while, he suddenly changed his face, shook his sleeves, walked in front of her with his hands behind his back, until the door, Fang threw over a sentence: "Meng Huai'an is dead!"
The gate was slammed shut, the officers and soldiers retreated, and a few people who looked at each other were left.
Pan Lanfang became the target of public criticism, she told all the old accounts in front of Meng Kuo, at this moment, without waiting for a few people in front of her to react, she took the lead in blaming: "His mother killed my child, and now he is coming to harm our Meng family again, shouldn't I tell his identity, am I wrong?"
He Shi and Si Ru glanced at each other, they were speechless for a while, this past, which is right and which is wrong, He Shi still wanted to scold a few words just now, but now he can't scold, not only can't he scold, but he also thinks that Pan Lanfang is also a poor person.
What kind of pain is it to see your own child die in your arms?
Moreover, for the honor of the Meng family for so many years, she still has to swallow her anger and raise the enemy's children, and it is not difficult to understand that she is not at peace in her heart.
"You're right, but you think you've saved the Meng family in this way?" Several people were silent, but they saw Siqing walk in.
He Shi hurriedly said: "Four girls, I know that you have a good relationship with Huai'an, but ...... He can't keep it, he has such a background, so it's right for us to make it clear to him. ”
"If the relationship is cleared, the guilt may not be cleared. Siqing's eyes were full of sorrow, and she walked in front of Pan Lanfang, "You pushed the second brother out, the second brother's life is not guaranteed, but the Meng family's stealing of beams and pillars to deceive the queen mother was revealed, although the queen mother no longer interferes in court politics, but she pinched a Meng family to death, it is more than enough." ”
A few words forced Pan Lanfang to retreat to the wall, and she replied intermittently: "Isn't it what the emperor said now, if we hand over Huai'an, our intentions will be obvious, we are following the emperor, won't the emperor protect us?"
"Do you think it is necessary for the emperor to disobey the Queen Mother for the sake of the Meng family, does the Meng family have the right to soldier, or is the contribution so great that it is irreplaceable, what is the benefit of protecting the Meng family for him?"
"This ......" Pan Lanfang was hesitant, thinking that she had saved the Meng family with righteousness, but she didn't want to listen to Siqing's words, and found that she had plunged the Meng family into a deeper quagmire...... Or at the cost of shaking out such a big secret.
She couldn't figure it out, she was obviously kind, even if it got into such a situation, she shouldn't be blamed.
She pushed away the approaching Siqing and shouted: "This idea was said by my mother before her death, this is an important matter for the Meng family, and it is not your turn to accuse." ”
"But what the four girls said makes sense. "He is like grass on the wall.
"It's not your turn to speak. Pan Lanfang took out the momentum of the head of the family in front of them, and seeing that He Shi closed her mouth stupidly, she said to Siqing again, "You don't have to be alarmist here, the Meng family will not fall so easily." ”
"It's not that just in the thoughts of those people above, the Meng family is like ants, without any ability to resist. Siqing shook off these words, walked out of the main hall, and stopped arguing with her.
It just so happened that the soldiers from the patrol room came to send her a message, saying that they had got the news from there, and Cheng Yiheng would be back immediately, and if she wanted to see her, she could go over now.
She rushed to the patrol room again without stopping, and went neither early nor late, and happened to see Cheng Yiheng at the door.
She hadn't approached yet, she looked at him not far away, and saw that there were several officers and soldiers around him, but they didn't pull them, just followed behind, and he was wearing a black coat and a black wide-brimmed hat, with a solemn face, and his expression made people feel cold.
Although he was in prison for a few days, he didn't look embarrassed, but he was more dressed than when he went to the backyard of the Meng family that night, looking at the costume, it seemed that he was blessed to go to the prison, but looking at his face, exhaustion and haggard were all on his face, and he seemed to have suffered a lot of tribulations, which were not in the body, but in the soul.
She thought of Huai'an from him, and she didn't know how Huai'an was now.
After thinking about it, he saw Cheng Yiheng standing in front of the door, took out a sign, and shook it a few times in front of the two guards.
After the two saw the sign clearly, their faces changed, and they immediately knelt down together.
After kneeling up, he respectfully took the hat he had just taken off from his hand, and bowed his waist to greet him.
Siqing looked confused, seeing that he was going in, she walked a few steps forward quickly, and was about to call someone, but before she could speak, someone suddenly took a step ahead of her and stopped him.
But this person's name is: Master Cheng.
Siqing's footsteps stopped, and she caught a glimpse of a small shop selling silk next to her, with a row of curtains hanging in front of the door, she thought about it for a while, dodged sideways, and used the curtain to cover herself tightly, gently raising a gap, she could see the people in front of her clearly, and the words were clearly heard.
But seeing the person shouting "Master Cheng", he walked to Cheng Yiheng's side with small steps, took out a red list, and said in a sharp voice: "You forgot this, and the master asked me to come over and give it to you." ”
Cheng Yiheng took the thing, didn't look at it, stuffed it directly into his pocket, nodded to the visitor, turned around and went in again.
The person who came lukewarmly reminded behind him: "Master Cheng, since the approval has been passed, I hope you will implement it immediately, this is a ......" He deliberately lengthened his tone, "It's a good opportunity for you to show your loyalty." ”
He still nodded expressionlessly.
The visitor patted him meaningfully on the shoulder and left with a smile.
After he left, Cheng Yiheng wanted to walk in again, took two steps, glanced inadvertently, stared at a soldier on the left, looked up and down for a while, and finally his eyes fell on his waist, and said in a cold voice: "What is hidden?"
The soldier touched his waist, tore off the money bag, and bowed over his head: "Big ...... Adult, damn it, this was given by the fourth lady of the Meng family, she originally wanted to come to see you. ”
"Look...... Me?"
"Yes, we didn't know that you changed your identity when you came back, and we thought that you were still going to be sent to prison, Miss Meng Si was worried that you were suffering in prison and wanted to come to see you, we promised her before......"
"Worried about me, she actually ...... Don't blame me?"
"She said you were forced to do so, and you were excusable, unlike everyone else. The soldier next to him interjected, they were used to being brought by Huai'an before, and they didn't pay much attention to etiquette, plus they knew Cheng Yiheng before, even if he became unsmiling now, in their eyes, he was much easier to get along with than Meng Kuo, and when he had questions, he explained directly.
Cheng Yiheng really didn't care much about their transgressions, he silently recited the words "unavoidable", sniffled, and clenched the red list in his pocket.
After a long time, he loosened his pocket, wiped his face, regained his expressionless demeanor, and strode in with his head held high.
Siqing slowly walked out from behind the curtain and came to the door of the patrol room.
The sun was too big for her to open.
When the guards saw her, they greeted her first: "Fourth Miss, you are here." ”
And the back showed a difficult color: "Cheng ...... The person you're looking for, he's ...... now"
"I saw it. Siqing responded lightly, "What position does he hold now?"
"It's the position of the Montene. ”
