Chapter 172: The Sin of Deception
Yu Zhaoran saw Meng Shaoguang coming over, and poured her a glass of wine very consciously. Then he watched her sit down and said leisurely: "It's really a place where you don't meet in life." ”
Meng Shaoguang gave him a look that was indeed the case, picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, and an indescribable aroma of wine came to his face.
The only time Meng Shaoguang and Yu Zhaoran met was at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet half a year ago, when Yu Zhaoran witnessed Meng Zhaoguang taking Meng Chenjiao out of the collapsed palace and quickly and lightly taking the lives of several people who stopped her.
Meng Shaoguang's eyes at that time he still remembers, indifferent, indifferent to life. It's as if she didn't kill people. Of course, Yu Zhaoran didn't have any opinion on this, after all, those people were ordered to ask for Meng Shaoguang's life. Meng Shaoguang killed them as they deserved.
He was surprised by Meng Shaoguang's methods, a dart in one hand made it superb, fast and ruthless, a few points more powerful than the killer.
Meng Shaoguang was in the military camp at the age of ten, and it stands to reason that King An should not teach her this, Meng Shaoguang is not only proficient but also extremely proficient, and Yu Zhaoran wants to know why.
It's just that Wei Tianxiao has to be treated these days, and now with the addition of a Yu Yaoxue, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat, and now Wei Tianxiao doesn't need him to go over every day, as long as he recuperates according to the doctor's instructions, Yu Yaoxue also has a new breakthrough there, so he has to relax for a while, but he didn't expect to be so lucky to meet Meng Shaoguang.
"The Major General seems to have been very idle lately." He didn't deliberately inquire, but just watched Meng Shaoguang come to buy wine alone, and after a little thought, he figured it out.
Meng Shaoguang poured the wine down boldly. His face didn't even change.
"The major general has a good amount of alcohol!" Yu Zhaoran doesn't have any special hobbies, he loves wine, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he saw Meng Shaoguang drinking like this. Suddenly there is a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess. With a compliment, he poured the wine from the glass in one gulp.
"Yu Gongzi laughed, haven't I always been very idle with the capital." She just uses her brain to do everything, and it's someone else.
Yu Zhaoran didn't care about Meng Shaoguang's shirk, and said familiarly: "I thought that the young general was very grudgeful, and he casually pointed out the country and sent Meng Chenjing to Chenzhou." "The grudge that Yu Zhaoran said is naturally a matter of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
Yu Zhaoran has always been very accurate in looking at people. Meng Shaoguang doesn't seem to be a lord who repays virtue with grievances, Meng Chenjing wants Meng Shaoguang's life, it's strange if Meng Shaoguang doesn't kill him! I'm afraid that going to Chenzhou now is just the beginning.
Meng Shaoguang picked up the flask and poured himself another glass. He filled up the jade with his hand, raised the cup and touched it, and poured another cup with a smile in his eyes.
After drinking, Meng Shaoguang said: "Meng Chenjing was assigned to Chenzhou because of the case in Fuzhou, and the case in Fuzhou was handled by Liu Jin and Zhou Xiang. Could it be that Yu Gongzi thought. Can I command and understand Zhou Xiang? ”
Yu Zhaoran understood that Meng Shaoguang was going to pretend to be stupid to the end, and he didn't poke it, and after drinking that glass of wine, his breathing slowed down, and he saw that Meng Shaoguang's eyes were even more interesting like drinking boiled water. I didn't dwell on those questions anymore, and directly changed the topic.
"I brought some good wine when I came to Hejing, when will the young general go for a drink?" Yu Zhaoran suddenly made a decision, he must drink Meng Shaoguang! It's an impulse to be a veteran wine bug!
While Meng Shaoguang and Yu Zhaoran were drinking interestingly, there was a sound of porcelain breaking in the hall of King Chen's Mansion. It was also mixed with Meng Chenhuan's roar.
In the hall, Lin Zezhong knelt on the ground with his head covered in embarrassment, and a broken teacup on the ground was mixed with blood. And Meng Chenhuan looked at Lin Zezhong who didn't dare to raise his head with angry eyes.
"Hello Lin Zezhong! He did such a rebellious thing without telling me! Do you think you can still live if this matter is stabbed to your father! You'd better be glad that everything you did at the beginning could be hidden from Liu Jin, otherwise your precious son-in-law would go in, and you wouldn't be far away! ”
Meng Chenhuan hadn't been proud of Meng Chenjing's assignment to Chenzhou for long, and he didn't want Lin Zezhong to stab him in the capital! Five years, Shengsheng hid it from him for five years! If it weren't for the current lord's wife, would Lin Zezhong be ready to hide it for the rest of his life?!
Thinking of this, Meng Chenhuan was even more angry! This is the sin of deception! Make small moves right under the emperor's nose! I don't know if I'm alive or dead!
Lin Zezhong, who was kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth with tears, and he did not have the momentum of scolding Chen Mingzhi in the mansion at the beginning.
"Your Highness, this matter is the old minister's confusion, you just look at the old minister's dedication to His Royal Highness over the years, just save the old minister!"
Meng Chenhuan was stunned because he cried and lost his temper, if this person is really faceless and skinless, he really has no rule of law. Lin Zezhong is also a person in his forties and fifties, and he actually cried a handful of snot and tears, which was unbearable.
"Alright, alright!" Meng Chenhuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, frowning and thinking back to what Lin Zezhong said. The person he sent to monitor Meng Shaoguang said that Meng Shaoguang had saved a woman in the suburbs of Beijing before, and within a few days, the woman went to Jingzhaoyin to complain......
"Does this matter have anything to do with Meng Shaoguang?" If it does, then it's a problem.
"Huh? What did you say, Your Highness? ”
Meng Chenhuan ignored him, thinking hard about what this matter had to do with Meng Shaoguang. Now Meng Shaoguang is his ally, but she allows the woman to sue Chen Mingzhi. Isn't it that she doesn't know that Chen Mingzhi is her own person?
That's right, Chen Mingzhi was just an errand boy in the Hanlin Academy before, and he should be ignored. Meng Chenhuan thought very well, but he deliberately ignored Meng Shaoguang's intelligence, it was just a small joint, how could Meng Shaoguang not know? Even if you don't know, then Chen Mingzhi should always know that he married the concubine of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Ministers is not Meng Chenhuan's person. According to the previous times, it can be seen that Meng Shaoguang's sources are extremely extensive, and it is just such a trivial matter, how can Meng Shaoguang not know?
Meng Chenhuan was a little irritable, should he go to King An's Mansion to talk about this?
Now it seems that Meng Shaoguang is definitely involved, and as long as Meng Shaoguang is there, no one can move the woman. If the woman doesn't die, Liu Jin will be able to find out something. Now the safest thing to do now is to kill the woman.
Meng Chenhuan rubbed his head with a headache, and waved his hand to let Lin Zezhong out: "You go back first, it's best if that woman can be killed." If it doesn't work, it depends on what can be found in Chenjia Village, if it is a last resort, either you and Chen Mingzhi will die together, or Chen Mingzhi will die, you can watch it. ”
Lin Zezhong's body shook when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little shocked, and Mu Mu retreated. It wasn't until he got out of the gate of King Chen's Mansion that he came back to his senses.
Princess Chen Zhang Shuning came in with a cup of hot tea and handed it to Meng Chenhuan, walked behind him and slowly massaged his temples.
"This matter is not big or small, what is Your Highness going to do?" Zhang Shuning asked in a soft tone. Meng Chenhuan always likes to discuss these things with her. Zhang Shuning will always ask when he encounters such a thing.
"Wan-kun." Meng Chenhuan called Zhang Shuning's words, and his tone was tired.
"The cards of the official book are too big to be easily lost."
Zhang Shuning obviously also thought that Meng Chenhuan would have such a plan, and did not hit him, but said: "Maybe the young general doesn't care about this matter." It's just a good way to save people. ”
This statement is actually quite unrealistic. Meng Shao can see what kind of person she is in the two things she planned, they are all unjust cases, although they are all against Meng Chenjing, but every case is guaranteed to be opened, which is the best proof.
And since Meng Shaoguang encountered the woman's matter, he couldn't stand by and watch, if Meng Chenhuan said it, he would inevitably be educated by Meng Shaoguang. Or even ignore it, in short, the conversation will not be pleasant. But Zhang Shuning couldn't persuade. Because Meng Chenhuan is such a person, as he said, the card of the official book is too big, and he can't help it. Even if there was a little hope, he was going to give it a try. Even this will make Meng Shaoguang disappointed in him.
Zhang Shuning didn't care about this, because she believed that with Meng Shaoguang's power, she would definitely know exactly what kind of person Meng Chenhuan was, Meng Chenhuan went this time just to expose his true nature, except for making Meng Shaoguang disdainful, it should not have much impact on the cooperation between them.
Because Meng Shaoguang really has no choice but Meng Chenhuan.
Meng Chenhuan also knew that Zhang Shuning was comforting himself, took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out: "I hope so." ”
So when Meng Shaoguang returned to King An's Mansion with a drunken face and an extremely normal face, he was told that Meng Chenhuan had been waiting in the Seven Star Pavilion for a long time.
After Meng Shaoguang got drunk, he had to be enlightened before he got drunk, and his decision was very decisive. She heard that Meng Chenhuan was coming, and after a little thought, she knew why Meng Chenhuan came, it just so happened that she had been a little depressed recently, and Meng Chenhuan came at the right time.
"The Major General is back." Meng Chenhuan saw Meng Shaoguang walking in unhurriedly, quickly stood up from the chair, and greeted Meng Shaoguang with a smile. When Meng Shaoguang walked in, he seemed to smell a smell of wine, but seeing that Meng Shaoguang's face was normal and his eyes were stable, he thought it was probably an illusion, so he didn't say anything.
Meng Shaoguang walked over and sat down, and did not beckon Meng Chenhuan to sit, but poured himself a cup of tea very normally, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Chen came down for Cheng Lu's business." ”
Meng Shaoguang rarely gets to the point like this, Meng Chenhuan was stunned when he heard it, and he always felt that the current Meng Shaoguang was a little strange, but he couldn't think of what was strange. I had to sit down and agree: "I can't hide anything from the major general." ”
After he finished speaking, he also looked at Meng Shaoguang, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her face, so he continued: "The young general probably doesn't know, the newly appointed Cheng Changke already has some friendship with me, and now his position as the head of the household department has not yet been secured, and such a thing happened, which is really a bit bad." ”
Meng Chenhuan didn't know what to say, this matter was Cheng Changke's fault, the fault was his own people, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't say that black was white.
"So what?" Meng Shaoguang looked at him while drinking tea, and motioned for him to continue.
Meng Chenhuan pursed his lips and said: "No one is a saint or a sage, Cheng Changke has also been conscientious in the Hanlin Academy in the past few years, can the young general raise his noble hand and let him go?" ”
After Meng Shaoguang heard him say this, there was more smile in his eyes. It's just that this kind of smile makes Meng Chenhuan like a man. Then I only heard Meng Shaoguang speak slowly and asked, "What about Cheng Lu's family?" ”
Meng Chenhuan wasn't sure what Meng Shaoguang meant, so he had to answer honestly: "This matter is something he did wrong after all, as long as Cheng Lu's withdraws the paper, if Cheng Lu's is willing, let her take her into the mansion to be Mrs. Shangshu, if she is unwilling, give her some silver as compensation, so that she can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life." ”
After hearing this, Meng Shaoguang slowly put down the teacup, and crossed his hands together to suppress it secretly.
"Your Highness also thinks this is feasible?" imprisoned the husband for five years, if it wasn't for Cheng Lu's search, wouldn't the real Cheng Changke have to stay in the dark room for the rest of his life? If it hadn't been encountered by Meng Shaoguang, Cheng Lu's would have been a corpse now, right? If it weren't for her escorting Cheng Lu's family, when would this big unjust case have a day of glory? Meng Chenhuan, you want to expose this matter in a word, and take it back to the house to be Mrs. Shangshu? You let her be the wife of an enemy who imprisoned her husband? How many days did it and then died unexpectedly? You're not whimsical, you're insulting her!
Do you really think that everything in the world can be settled with power and silver?! Do you really think that everyone in the world values power and money as much as you do?!
Meng Chenhuan's scalp was a little numb when Meng Shaoguang saw it, but he still stubbornly said: "In this way, she has a landing in the second half of her life, isn't it better than a fish dying and breaking the net." ”
After hearing this, Meng Shaoguang suddenly stood up, grabbed the handles on both sides of the chair Meng Chenhuan was sitting on with both hands, and leaned forward so that Meng Chenhuan shrank backwards in fright.
The smile in Meng Shaoguang's eyes was a little cold, but it was still there. She looked at Meng Chenhuan, who was close at hand, and said word by word: "His Royal Highness King Chen, since you are here, you naturally know that Cheng Lu's family was saved by me, so you must also know that if I didn't save her at that time, she would probably be a dead person by now." She is a woman, who has been widowed for five years, her mother-in-law who has served for five years, and Hejing, who walked for nearly a month to arrive, came to find her husband, but when she found out that the person who should have been her husband was not her husband, and her husband's life and death were unknown. You were born in the royal family and naturally don't understand the life of ordinary people, the power and money that you value most in your eyes are a fart in their eyes, what Cheng Lu wants to do now is to avenge her husband, of course, if she can find her husband, it is the best, if not, she will also harm her husband's people are not peaceful! ”
After Meng Shaoguang finished saying the last few words, the handrail he was holding was immediately crushed, and the sawdust was scattered all over the ground, and Meng Chenhuan was also frightened.
Meng Shaoguang was still exerting his strength, looked at him and continued: "I advise Your Highness not to interfere in this matter, Meng Chenjing can afford the crime of bullying the king, but His Highness can't afford it." (To be continued.) )
