Chapter 450: In order to save his father, he took out all the money and ventured into Dali Temple
Zhang Mei held the maid with one hand and Peng Lingkong with the other, and was about to bow down, "Hardship sees the truth, you are so good to me and our Zhang family, it is a blessing for me and our Zhang family, please accept my worship." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Peng Lingkong and the maid hurriedly supported Zhang Mei, "Miss, this can't be helped, we are a family, so don't see outside." ”
The three of them sat down at the table and discussed together, Peng Lingkong pointed out, "In the future, go out less during the day, don't show your head, and be safer, especially the eldest lady." It's better to live in another place, there are still people in Zhangfu who know this, my lord, the second adult, me, and a few trustworthy people around the adults, it is inevitable that they will be asked soon, find here, don't live here anymore. ”
Zhang Mei was reluctant to leave, she was worried that Xiao Baojuan would come to pick up Pan Yuer's silk, but she didn't see her when she found it, they had been gone for almost a year, and the time to see each other again should be just around the corner, how could she miss it, there would be no chance to meet again, and she regretted it for life. However, she couldn't help but think about the safety of herself, Peng Lingkong and the maids, and ignore them. She was torn between a rock and a hard place.
The maid saw Zhang Mei's thoughts and understood her, she changed the topic and asked Peng Lingkong a very important question that they were very concerned about, "According to the Taoist chief, how will the imperial court treat and deal with the adults, will they be released after a few days, or will they be convicted of a serious crime?"
Peng Lingkong's expression was gloomy, if it wasn't serious, why would he take Zhang Mei out of the capital and flee to Maoshan to save his life, "According to the stubborn and tough nature of the adult, I am afraid that he will not bow his head and admit his guilt, and he is willing to change his political position, Yang Jian arrested all the people in Zhangfu, and the intensity of rectification is very great, but I am afraid that in the end, there will be more than one luck." ”
Zhang Mei frowned, and her face was full of sadness. Even if it is unrealistic, of course she has to do everything she can to save Zhang Jieyuan's life, "As long as my father is willing to bow his head, give up his political opinions, and no longer embarrass and confront Yang Jian's new court, can he be released without dying?"
"I'm afraid it's hard, but the sin is always much lighter, and compromise may not have a way out, but it is the only chance. "The scene of taking people was too violent, and some people were bleeding on the spot, and even being mutilated to death, Peng Lingkong didn't dare to have too much hope.
Zhang Mei suddenly thought of what she thought was feasible, there was no other way, she discussed with Peng Lingkong, "I have an idea, instead of sitting and waiting for Dali Temple to arrest me, it is better to go to the palace, where my father and them are sitting, kneel and beg the emperor and his ministers, including the adults of Dali Temple, to forgive me, and if I don't forgive me, I won't get up." When they see my sincerity and my actual actions, they may be embarrassed to embarrass me again, and maybe they can let my father and them go, as long as I am not here, they will not come to arrest you two, and you two will be safe. ”
Peng Lingkong was silent for a moment before nodding slowly, "If you want to say, this is a good way to survive in danger, and there is no other better idea." ”
Zhang Mei took out all the silver taels she had accumulated, "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, Peng Daochang, you use these silver taels to beat the people who imprisoned my father in the Dali Temple prison, you go to see my father, or they can pass on the word, tell me that even if my father doesn't think about himself, he has to think about future generations and the whole family, let him stop being stubborn, promise not to do anything against the court in the future, and be willing to go back to his hometown for the rest of his life, maybe there will be a glimmer of life, at least the punishment will be the lightest, and the ending will be the best." ”
Peng Lingkong nodded, and took the silver with both hands, "That's it." Miss, I didn't expect you to be so young and have such insight and character, and today really impresses me. ”
Zhang Mei smiled bitterly and modestly explained the reasonableness of what she did, "I am also inspired by you Peng Daochang, all I think of is to do everything I can to save my father's life." If you just think about this, and have no other distracting thoughts, I believe that you can come up with these ideas quickly, more thoroughly than I thought, and even if you have already thought of it, how embarrassed you are to push me to the front and the most dangerous place, you can't say it. ”
There is no need to praise each other, now is not the time.
Peng Lingkong has specific arrangements, "I'll fix a book immediately, spend so much money, I can't see the adult, I can always ask the prison guard to send a letter in, and the adult can understand what we mean." Let Lu Ma do this alone tomorrow, the people in Dali Temple should not know her, and it is easier to move around. I accompanied the eldest lady to kneel and beg Yang Jian and his new court, and I can also protect the eldest lady, I can't protect the people in the whole house, protect the eldest lady from escaping from the clutches alone, not being caught by them, the problem is still not big, I will do my best. ”
"No, you two go to Dali Temple, you protect Mother Lu and guarantee that the letter will be delivered to my father, and my father must not see it, otherwise our role will not be too great, and the court will still be angry with my father and them, and it will also affect us. If you really don't feel at ease, I'll hide somewhere else, and when you have the exact news, I'll kneel down and beg again, or go with you, and I'll dress up as someone else to fool me, I've always lived in seclusion, and no one knows me, and as long as we don't find out ourselves, they don't know who I am. Zhang Mei didn't worry about the maid going to do such a big thing alone.
"It's fine. Peng Lingkong nodded in agreement.
So, Zhang Mei and the maid waited for Peng Lingkong to finish writing the letter to Zhang Jieyuan who was going to be sent to the prison of Dali Temple, and they were busy until the middle of the night, the two women moved to sleep together, and Peng Lingkong slept in the maid's room.
Early the next morning, Zhang Mei changed into the clothes of a maid, wrapped tightly, and a woman dressed like a maid rushed to the Dali Temple prison as a neighbor of Zhangfu.
Peng Lingkong followed Zhang Mei and the maid not far away, and went with him, doing so to protect the two of them and himself.
Money can make ghosts grind, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, heavy, a lot of money a year, given to the jailer, although still not allowed to go in to meet, or promised to bring the letter in to Zhang Jieyuan, "I was only caught yesterday, the important criminals and felons of the imperial court, the adults have not yet been tried, who dares to let relatives and friends in privately to meet and talk, and then collude to confess, who can afford this crime?" The letter, I can still send you one, in case it is discovered, just say that it was something they had before they were caught, and let them destroy it quickly after reading it. ”
If you don't do anything, how can you accept so much money from ordinary people. Besides, there is no disgraceful writing written on the letter, all of which are to persuade Zhang Jieyuan not to confront the imperial court anymore, conform to the will of heaven, be sympathetic to family affection, and seek a way out for the whole government, which is consistent with the opinions and requirements of the imperial court, even if it is found out, it is not a big deal.
