Chapter Twenty-Eight: Deception
When Cheng Zheng and Menghan returned home, it was already dark, and when Menghan entered the door, he pulled his subordinates and asked, "Is Yuanxin back?" ”
"I'm back, the second young master is waiting for the girl in Qiushuang Courtyard."
"I'm going to find Yuanxin oh, bye-bye, thank you today." Menghan left Cheng Zheng and ran to Qiushuang Courtyard, while Cheng Zheng turned around and went out of the house again.
Sunset Cave.
Except for those who went out with tasks, the other hall masters stood respectfully on both sides of the hall, waiting for Cheng Zheng's orders, Lang Yue was not there, and Cheng Zheng did not ask a word.
"Guan Mo and Wen Yu still have no news, right?" Cheng Zheng had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't expect them to find out anything.
"Yes, there hasn't been any response since they left." Although he has not been in office for a long time, he is quite capable.
"Tell them to come back."
Hearing this, he asked, "According to the door rules, there is no result after eight days of travel, and there is no forgiveness for killing." I don't know what the master means? ”
Cheng Zheng asked, "How many days have they been there?" ”
"Seven days."
Even if they are lucky, this matter is a bit tricky, but not punishing is not enough to correct the rules, "Removed the position of the hall master." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Listen to the words and be commanded to go out, and after tonight it will be the eighth day.
The only ones left were Wen Yu and Yingxun, and Cheng Zheng ordered, "The two of you will bring someone to assist Jinfeng to defend the palace tonight, and if you see Yao Menghan coming in and out, you will be killed." ”
Autumn Cool Temple. Menghan couldn't wait to ask Yuanxin, after going out for a day, it should be some news, "How is it, how is it, have you found it?" ”
Yuanxin shook his head, "I have asked everything I can ask, what sulfuric acid you said can dissolve metals, no one really knows." ”
Menghan was disappointed and anxious, "What should I do, if I can't find sulfuric acid, it's all over, how can I prove it to the emperor?" ”
"Don't worry, the people of the Lile Pavilion can make hydrogen, and we must be able to do it too, so can you think about it again?"
Meng Han wilted, "What else can I do, isn't hydrogen just the reaction of acid and metal?" How did the people of Reikakan do it? By the way, how about we go to the Rite Music Hall? Can you find a way to go to the Lile Hall for a walk, you are also a marquis, right? ”
"I don't think there will be anything to gain if I go, after Du Ruoyu's accident, the Lile Hall will definitely avoid it, burn it that should be burned, throw it away, why wait for you to investigate."
"That's right, Du Ruo almost injured the emperor, and the Lile Pavilion will definitely not keep these anymore." Meng Han tapped his head and had an idea, "It doesn't matter if you destroy it, when you prepare singing and dancing props before the banquet, there will always be a record of the storage list and the like, check what they have gotten in, and there are indispensable raw materials for making hydrogen." ”
Yuanxin was puzzled, "Although this idea is good, I don't have the right to check it." ”
"Cheng Zheng always has it, he's such a big official, he can't even check the Lile Hall?"
"Although my brother is the Hou Ye, he is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Yun Clan, Cha Lile Hall, which is really a bit far-fetched."
Meng Han was furious, "Oh, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do, you just wait for me to be killed." ”
"Even if you can't find out, you won't be killed, I'll find a way to save you, I can't do it, don't I still have my brother and grandfather, it's more than enough to protect you as a little girl." Besides," Yuanxin whispered in Menghan's ear, "The bright one can't work, can we come to the dark one?" ”
"Dark?" Meng Han was puzzled.
"My family has a large number of dark people, it's not easy to go to the Lile Hall to pick up something?"
"This is good," Meng Han raised his eyebrows and nodded again and again, "Go and go, this first day has passed, and there is no eyebrow at all." ”
"Okay, I'll go find my brother."
Meng Han hurriedly stopped, "Hey, come back." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Speaking of Cheng Zheng, I have one more thing I want to trouble you." Menghan flattered.
"What's the matter?"
"I invited Cheng Zheng to dinner today, but you, the damn brother, knew that I only had ten taels of silver and ordered a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so I didn't have the money to pay in the end. Then, I gave him the jade on his body," Menghan looked at Yuanxin when he said this, afraid that if he got angry and said that he was messing around or something, he said cautiously, "Now that I think about it, I'm sorry for him, can you go and steal it back at night?" It's also a favor for me. ”
Yuanxin really got up, "What jade?" ”
"It's the piece of jade that he often hangs on his body, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, he really deserved it, he ate it knowing that I had no money."
Yuanxin Zhengse asked, "The outer ring is inlaid with gold edges, and there is a square hollow in the middle of that goose-yellow jade?" ”
"yes." Meng Han pouted, seeing that Yuanxin was angry, he hurriedly explained, "I can't help it, Cheng Zheng just didn't bring any money, so he took it first." Later, I said that I wanted to redeem it, but Cheng Zheng said that it was not important, so I didn't need to take it to heart. He said he didn't want to, and I didn't force him. Menghan asked tentatively, "Isn't it important?" ”
"I'll go find him, you go to sleep first." Yuanxin coldly threw a sentence to leave.
Menghan grabbed Yuanxin and showed an aggrieved look, "Are you really angry?" I said that I had no choice but to get it back at night, if it didn't work, I would like him to send someone to it, it's not that I can't find it. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it. Go to bed early. Yuanxin smiled reluctantly.
Han reluctantly responded, "Oh." "Dreams
Yuanxin went to Cheng Zheng's study, it was empty, Yuanxin pushed the door in, lit a candle and sat casually. When Yuanxin was about to fall asleep, Cheng Zheng finally came back and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"You still know to come back." Yuanxin didn't give a good face, "Are you testing Menghan?" ”
"Yes." Cheng Zheng said bluntly. It seems that Yuanxin already knows, and there is nothing to beat around the bush.
"You don't believe me like that?"
"I didn't disbelieve you, I didn't believe her."
Yuanxin stood up and said angrily, "I brought her back, what's the difference between you and not believing me?" ”
"I can't find the slightest clue, how do you want me to believe it? A woman of unknown origin and strange behavior lives at home, do you think I can rest assured? Maybe she's the one who sent her to deliberately approach you and take advantage of you. ”
"You're going to check on her? Why don't you even look it up with me? You'd better check all eight generations of my ancestors! ”
"You are presumptuous!" Cheng Zheng slapped the table full of anger, his eyes widened and he stared directly at Yuanxin.
Yuanxin also couldn't hold back for a while, knowing that what he said was a bit too much, so he stopped talking.
Seeing that Yuanxin was reined, Cheng Zheng asked again, "What did she tell you?" ”
"She wants me to get your jade." Yuanxin muttered displeasure.
"I knew she wasn't that simple."
"Don't you always think about people in the worst way, okay? She wants me to take it back and give it back to you, she doesn't want to owe you a favor. People are kind, you don't appreciate it, and you are still suspicious. You think everyone is so deep with your city, you think everyone covets that little bit of power, and the sinister people see the whole world as black. ”
How obsessed are you with Meng Han, you even speak in a tone with Meng Han, Cheng Zheng said strictly, "What is that kind of power, that piece of jade control is more than enough for my family." ”
Yuanxin didn't show weakness, "Menghan doesn't know it." ”
"She'd better not know. If she is really a spy, even if she takes a big risk, she will inevitably go to get the jade. ”
Yuanxin glanced at him, "It's me who is going to get the jade right now, I'm a spy." ”
Cheng Zheng reminded, "You'd better be clear about the current situation!" Yao Menghan: She is by no means as simple as you seem. ”
Yuanxin still insisted on himself, "I told her to be honest with each other and believe in each other, I don't want to lie to her, and I don't want to test her in this way." ”
"Okay," Cheng Zheng nodded angrily, "Okay, you are more affectionate than Jin Jian, if she causes any trouble in the future, don't come to me!" ”
"I'm not going to come to you!" Yuanxin left with a negative heart, and just stepped out of the threshold with his front foot and stopped, he came back very reluctantly, bowing his head, "There is one more thing." "I just said that I wouldn't come to you, it's just a slap in the face.
"Say." Cheng Zheng was angry and said impatiently.
"I'm going to see the list of materials in and out of the Lile Hall within ten days." It's really embarrassing to come back and beg for someone just after a fight.
Cheng Zheng asked angrily, "She wants it again?" ”
Yuanxin explained, "You also know the three-day appointment between the emperor and Menghan, I looked for a day and couldn't see what Menghan wanted, so I had no choice but to start from the Lile Hall." ”
Cheng Zheng didn't care, "I think she has a lot of ability, how can she be cornered?" It's just a matter of confusing your gaze and diverting your attention. ”
"Menghan is not this kind of person." Yuanxin said firmly.
"Is there anything else on your mind besides her?" This younger brother is really poisoned.
Yuanxin was speechless, he was indeed busy with Menghan's affairs recently, "Brother, you can help her, this first day has passed, and it will be dangerous for Menghan to make no progress." ”
Cheng Zheng put forward the condition, "If you promise me, I will promise you." ”
"You're in danger, villain." Yuanxin scolded.
Cheng Zheng didn't laugh angrily, "If you can use this to prove Menghan's innocence, everyone will be at ease in the future, I don't have to worry about it, you can rest assured." ”
"I was relieved."
"It's your business whether you can rest assured, I don't dare to put the fate of the entire family on your peace of mind. Whether she is innocent or not depends on you to say it, and I can only believe it if I prove it. If she is innocent this time, I promise you that I will not be prejudiced against her again in the future. Think for yourself. ”
Cheng Zheng said that when it came to the family, Yuanxin secretly felt guilty, he had never done anything for his family, he had nothing to do all day long, and he was at ease. Thinking of this, he is not angry with Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng has been cultivated by the emperor as a successor patriarch since he was a child, and there is nothing wrong with him thinking about the family. It's because I'm too angry, and I need to do my part for my family at the moment, so how can I push it back. Wouldn't you just give it a try, dispelling Cheng Zheng's doubts, it will also be beneficial to the development of me and Menghan in the future, I believe in Menghan, real gold is not afraid of fire. "Okay, I promise you."
Cheng Zheng took out his goose-yellow jade from the drawer, "You go and give it to her." ”
Yuanxin came out of Cheng Zheng's study and went to Qiushuang Courtyard, and handed the jade to Menghan, "Take it back, I'm tired of uncle." ”
Meng Han was like a treasure and held it tightly in his hand, "Why have you been in trouble for so long?" ”
Yuanxin panicked and disguised, "That's not true, it's just that I've been looking for a long time." ”
Menghan hugged Yuanxin and kissed him, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard, I'll do it for you to go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire." Yuanxin is as flamboyant as before, but it is not a taste in his heart, saying the most touching love words, but he is not believing in you, is this really me, I Cheng Yuanxin is self-assured, never plays with conspiracy, but calculates the person I love the most, when did I become such a hypocritical person.
Menghan looked at Yuanxin's far-fetched smile and asked, "What's wrong with you, are you too tired?" ”
"This little thing has been settled, and there is another big thing, my brother has sent someone to the Lile Hall, I hope to get it."
"It turns out that you are worried about me, don't worry, the so-called Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, I believe that I, Yao Menghan, will not die in a catastrophe, and if I can come to this world and live to this day, I will definitely not be beheaded by the emperor so lightly." Meng Han laughed heartlessly.
"Even if I get the list today, it's unknown if I can find clues from it," Yuanxin sighed, "I'd better go and explore." ”
When Menghan heard Yuanxin say this, his heart was full of emotion, "Okay, you have to be careful." ”
Yuanxin pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay, don't worry, although I can't beat others, at least I'm good at it, it's not a problem to escape, you wait for my good news." Yuanxin gently kissed Menghan's forehead, "Good, sleep." ”
"I can't sleep, when will you come back?" Menghan was worried.
"I don't know, let's see if it's smooth or not, I'll come to you when I come back."
"Okay."
