Chapter 159: King Chen's Different Hearts
Meng Chenhuan nodded and didn't say anything, he crossed the fragments and sat down, and Chen Xianhe hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to serve tea.
"Oh yes, this king also brought some people and asked them to help with the search, and the people from the patrol camp outside the house are watching, but I can't let him run anymore!" Meng Chenhuan waved his hand to the attendants who were following him, and motioned for them to go down and look for them.
"Yes."
Before Chen Xianhe could stop it, the people brought by Meng Chenhuan had already dispersed by themselves, making his sentence of 'no' blocked in his throat, almost choking him to death.
Only the two of them were silent, waiting for news. And Chen Zhou and the others all retreated when Meng Chenhuan came, and now they don't know where they have gone.
It didn't take long for Lee to come in.
He brought the servants with him.
"Lord Wang, Chen Shangshu." Liu Jin greeted them and began to ask them routinely.
"Chen Shangshu, haven't you found anyone yet? There are so many people in the Quanshang Mansion, and they should be all searched inch by inch. "Liu Jin has been sitting in the position of Jing Zhaoyin for five years, and he is indeed a capable, and more importantly, he is Jing Zhaoyin who was picked up for nothing. At the beginning, the prince and others had already calculated that there was a candidate for Jing Zhaoyin, who knew that in the end, he didn't go up after fighting with King Chen, and he was stunned to push this Liu Jin, who had not been promoted for 10,000 years.
Since Lu Yifan came to Hejing to commit crimes, Liu Jin's Jingzhao Yin Mansion has not stopped, there are people reporting cases every day, and there are people going to sell cases every day, in short, all kinds of busy work, this time he just slept and someone came to Chenwang's Mansion, saying that Chen Shangshu besieged Lu Yifan in the mansion. Liu Jin almost jumped up from the bed when he heard the news, and without saying a word, he came with someone in his clothes.
Liu Jin is also in a hurry, Lu Yifan can't stop for a day, he can't stop for a day. You say that he is not guilty of great evil, but the disturber is not at peace, and he wants to catch him and beat him severely before he is angry.
Chen Xianhe's face turned red, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he was in charge of the officials' department and money, what tricks could he expect him to catch the thief?
"What advice does Lord Liu have?" But even if he gets angry again, he has to endure it. Now he pointed to Liu Jin to help him catch this Lu Yifan.
Liu Jin Zhengse said: "I don't dare to give advice, but there are one or two views on this." β
Meng Chenhuan was actually quite dissatisfied with Liu Jin, but today Liu Jin was called by him. On the surface, he is still here to help people catch thieves, so naturally he has to get by.
"Lord Liu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Liu Jin nodded at Meng Chenhuan and said, "Chen Shangshu sent people to look for it for so long and didn't find it, so there is only one possibility." It's that Lu Yifan has already mixed into the family. In this way, it seems that even if Tianliang is found, it is impossible to find people, and once the people from the patrol camp outside are withdrawn, Lu Yifan will be able to easily go out of Shangshu Mansion. β
Chen Xianhe thought about it, and was about to say something when he heard Liu Jin say again: "Moreover, the Shangshu Mansion is heavily guarded, which doesn't seem to be very in line with the rules, and the people of the capital will panic when they see it at dawn, so before dawn." The patrol battalions must be withdrawn. β
In other words, it doesn't matter if Lu Yifan is caught before dawn. The soldiers outside must be withdrawn.
Chen Xianhe also understands that it is already an adventure for the military department to mobilize so many people from the patrol battalion to come out, and it is good to say that there are not many people at night, and it is not possible to find out at all if it is not specifically checked, it is different during the day, and the slightest rumor can reach the emperor's ears, if the emperor smells it, how should he answer? Just to prevent your own from losing something? He didn't want to die so early, and the palace didn't have such a big battle as his Shangshu Mansion, so why did he Chen Xianhe?
Thinking about it like this, the cold sweat on Chen Xianhe's face came down again, he looked at Liu Jin and said in a panic: "Everything is up to Lord Liu, you must catch Lu Yifan, you can't let him make trouble with the capital anymore!" β
Liu Jin was very calm, and replied lightly: "Xiaguan do his best." β
Although Meng Chenhuan was anxious in his heart, his face was silent, although he didn't know Lu Yifan's ability, but since Meng Shaoguang dared to send him, he naturally had his ability, and when Meng Chenhuan came, Meng Shaoguang didn't specifically ask anything, what he had to do was to stabilize Chen Xianhe here, as for those under him, they were all his cronies, and they had already explained before they came, so they could act on the opportunity, presumably if they met Lu Yifan, even if they couldn't help him escape successfully, it would be no problem to hide, At least before dawn, we must ensure that Lu Yifan is not discovered.
Meng Shaoguang did not expect him to get Lu Yifan out when he asked Meng Chenhuan to come, Meng Chenhuan would definitely have more concerns about doing things in Chen Xianhe, so that Lu Yifan's chance of escaping would be greater.
And Liu Jin, this person is not promoted in 10,000 years because he will not be flattered, and finally left **** Yunjing Zhaoyin's title fell on his head, he can do his best to catch Lu Yifan, but if he catches it, he will definitely not hand it over to Chen Xianhe, but bring it back for interrogation, and there are many things that can be asked by this interrogation.
Chen Xianhe is now in a hurry to find Lu Yifan and didn't expect to be here, listening to Liu Jin's instructions to call all the attendants out, no one is allowed to be missed, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he watched Liu Jin investigate one by one.
Meng Chenhuan sat on the chair with his eyes flickering, he didn't know what Meng Shaoguang's plan was, how to expose the case in Fuzhou, but now Lu Yifan gave him an idea in his heart. Looking at Chen Xianhe's appearance now, Lu Yifan must have some important evidence in his hand, so if Lu Yifan is arrested today, wouldn't the Fuzhou case be uncovered in name only? And if this case falls on his head, firstly, it has nothing to do with him, and secondly, he has achieved his goal, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.
Meng Chenhuan thought like this, rubbing his fingers slowly, as if he was hesitating to do so. After all, Lu Yifan is Meng Shaoguang's person, if he moves inside, if Meng Shaoguang knows...... No, Lu Yifan is trapped in Shangshu Mansion alone, and it is a fantasy to escape without being discovered.
Meng Chenhuan's eyes flashed and he made up his mind, waved at the attendant to let him come over, and whispered a few words before waving his hand to let him leave.
Liu Jin checked everyone to make sure that Lu Yifan did not get involved, so he waved his hand and asked the people he brought to start searching in Shangshu Mansion inch by inch.
The people he brought with him were all dressed in official uniforms. And now the huge Shangshu Mansion does not have a single idle person except for the hall, and Lu Yifan just wants to hide. I can't hide from it.
"Let's wait with peace of mind, as long as Lu Yifan is still in the mansion, we will definitely be able to find him out!" Liu Jin said affirmatively.
He has been disturbed by Lu Yifan these days, and this time he finally got the news of him, so he naturally tried his best to catch him.
"It's still Lord Liu who has a way." Chen Xianhe was also relieved when he saw Liu Jin's orderly arrangement, and if he lost something, he could only feel at ease if he caught Lu Yifan.
Meng Chenhuan saw Chen Xianhe's stupid look and knew that he hadn't come back to his senses for a while, and he didn't rush to expose it. He just nodded and continued to wait with peace of mind. Liu Jin's hand is indeed beautiful, if Lu Yifan does not have his help, it is only a matter of time before he is caught. And just now he had already ordered to go down, seeing that Lu Yifan didn't have to cover up for him, it was best to let Liu Jin's people arrest him quickly, and it was really not possible for them to go up again.
After all, the person who moved her behind Meng Shaoguang's back also had to take a certain risk, and if he could do it himself, he wouldn't do it himself. At least it is easy to explain when I see Meng Shaoguang later. He can't tear his face with Meng Shaoguang now. He was still counting on Meng Shaoguang to help him sit on the throne.
Time passed little by little, the officers and soldiers searched carefully, interspersed with the front and back without leaving the slightest gap, Lu Yifan changed several places successively, and saw that he was about to be forced to nowhere to escape, he gritted his teeth, and while the officers and soldiers passed by, a team not far away did not get close, and quickly ran up to a tree, and the movements were so gentle that he didn't even shake the branches.
It's only February and a half, and although the sprouts have popped up, they still look bare from a distance, only the branches, so it's not a good choice to go up the tree at this time. Fortunately, it was dark now, and the location he had chosen was far away from the stone lamps around him. As long as you don't stare at it deliberately, you can't see it, but after another hour, it's hard to say, when the sky will gradually brighten, and when the time comes, as long as you look up, you can find that something is wrong, and he will be exposed to thousands of soldiers without concealment, and even if you want to escape, you can't do anything about it.
But if he doesn't do this at this time, I'm afraid that he will be caught every hour. Delaying it for a second is a second, he is confident that Meng Shaoguang should get the news here, and she will not see that she is trapped here like this. So he had to hold on and wait for Meng Shaoguang to save him.
As for Meng Chenhuan, to be honest, although Lu Yifan said that he went to Chenwang's Mansion according to Meng Shaoguang's instructions, he didn't know the relationship between Meng Chenhuan and Meng Shaoguang, so naturally there was no one who rushed up to recognize his teammates when he saw Meng Chenhuan, but fortunately, Meng Shaoguang didn't count on Meng Chenhuan, and Lu Yifan escaped.
Meng Chenhuan is really a villain, and now he is still in a cooperative relationship with Meng Shaoguang, so he can sell Lu Yifan, just for his personal interests. Meng Shaoguang saw through Meng Chenhuan from a glance, so he never believed him, and asked Meng Chenhuan to come today to avoid suspicion of him after the Fuzhou case broke out in the future, which led to the failure of the Fuzhou case, and secondly, it was one of the links to truly rescue Lu Yifan.
Meng Chenhuan really imagined himself to be too important, he thought that Lu Yifan's life and death were in his hands, but he didn't know that he was just a chess piece in Meng Shaoguang's hands.
Halfway through, Liu Jin, who had turned over the entire Shangshu Mansion, still didn't find Lu Yifan, and his face was full of puzzlement. I saw him suspiciously ask Chen Xianhe, who was also restless: "Chen Shangshu, are you sure that Lu Yifan was still besieged in Shangshu Mansion after you found out until I came?" β
If so, why can't they find it? Could it be that he can still be invisible?
Chen Xianhe was also a little stunned, but it was only a quarter of an hour for Lu Yifan to be found out that he had been in the patrol camp and besieged the mansion, and it was absolutely impossible for him to escape! Chen Xianhe was about to speak, but when he heard the hurried footsteps outside, the porter ran over panting.
"Old, old, old! Whewβ"
Chen Xianhe was in a hurry, and urged: "What do you say quickly?!" β
The porter breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still panting, and said intermittently: "Old, old man, Tai, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is here, here!" β
Before everyone could react after hearing this, they heard Meng Chenjing's voice slowly coming from far and near.
"I heard that the thief who disturbed the peace of the capital has been caught?" Meng Chenjing walked slowly with a gentle smile on his face, followed by a few personal guards.
"Attend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Meng Chenhuan is no longer willing, and he has to greet Meng Chenjing.
Meng Chenjing waved his hand indifferently to let them up, and said with the usual innocence on his face: "Uninvited, Chen Shangshu Haihan." β
Chen Xianhe was so shocked by this sentence that his back was sweating, and he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious. His Royal Highness is honored to visit the Humble House. β
Meng Chenjing didn't take Chen Xianhe too seriously, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would want to directly beat him Chen Xianhe, the things were stolen Lu Yifan was trapped and he knew it, everyone who made trouble knew it, it didn't matter if he provoked Meng Chenhuan, even Liu Jin came. One of these two people doesn't deal with himself, and the other is upright and doesn't have a brain, if he catches Lu Yifan's things in front of the two of them, can he still ask for it back!
Meng Chenjing also came in time, seeing Chen Xianhe making such a big move, he knew that what Lu Yifan stole from him was absolutely unseemly, although he didn't know all the public funds that Chen Xianhe had done over the years, he could know nine times out of ten, if that thing flowed out, it was not only his Chen family that was involved, but his party in the court was more or less shared, if this thing fell into the hands of either Meng Chenhuan and Liu Jin, I don't know how many people in the court would suffer, and these people, Most of them are his crown prince's people, and the manpower that has worked hard all these years has been destroyed because of this account book and because of a Lu Yifan, can he not come!
"The fourth brother is also here." Meng Chenjing nodded slowly at Meng Chenhuan, indicating that he had said hello, then looked at Liu Jin and asked, "Where is Lu Yifan?" Didn't you say you caught it? β
Liu Jin heard about the prince's comments, but for some reason he always looked at the prince and felt that he was a little weird, but he couldn't see anything weird, but he was not close to the prince, so he said officially: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, after receiving the news from King Chen, Weichen immediately brought people to Shangshu Mansion, Chen Shangshu said that Lu Yifan was still in the mansion, but my people checked inside and outside Shangshu Mansion but did not find Lu Yifan and his person, Weichen suspected that Lu Yifan had probably fled." β
Chen Xianhe wanted to say something, but Meng Chenjing opened his mouth first: "Lord Liu can still be trusted by the prince to do things, but it is also, Lu Yifan and his people have not committed countless crimes, naturally he has some ability, if he is easily caught, he is too sorry for the title of strange thief."
