Chapter 158: More than Defeat
"It's not bad, it's just that you have to suffer some crimes, although your health is worse for three or five years, but you can save your life." Meng Chenyu couldn't talk about Wei Tianxiao in his heart, and he was also panicked, and at this time, Meng Shaoguang was naturally interested when he mentioned it, so he chatted with her excitedly.
When Meng Shaoguang waited left and right, he listened dispensably.
“…… Two princes died in the water that time, and they were all about the same age as Tian'er. As he spoke, he suddenly talked about Wei Tianxiao's accident, and Meng Chenyu was silent.
Meng Shao's face was silent, but he sighed in his heart. What a familiar strategy, one uses his son as a companion to go to the heart of the elders of the Three Dynasties, and the other uses his brother as a burial to kill her, the only seedling of the Anwang Mansion.
"So you're a mutant." With a shallow smile in his eyebrows, Meng Shaoguang looked at Meng Chenyu and said.
Meng Chenyu looked at Meng Shaoguang with a strange expression, obviously not understanding what she meant.
"Meng Chenjing and Meng Chenhuan knew at a glance that they were born to the emperor himself, but you seem to have picked them up."
Perhaps it was because of Meng Chenyu's identity that the emperor was jealous and couldn't get close, and Meng Chenyu had only grown up with three standards. However, Meng Chenyu is strong enough in his heart, after all, not everyone can endure around a person like the queen for many years and have not become perverted. Meng Chenyu is still extraordinary in the end.
Meng Chenyu was stunned for a moment at Meng Shaoguang's words, and then smiled, laughing a little bitterly, "If that's the case, then it's good." ”
In this way he can lie to himself, the emperor is not without feelings for him, but for some reason does not like himself. Think about it too. A father never treats his son as a son, just a tool that can be sacrificed at any time. The hostages used to contain others will be chilled if anyone knows about it. It's just that this is still his biological father, and the blood is thicker than water, but obviously, this kind of affection does not exist for the royal family.
"Miss, something happened to the Ministry of Shangshu's Mansion." And hurried with footsteps, standing at the door and saluting respectfully.
"What about people?" Meng Shaoguang asked naturally Lu Yifan.
"It's still in the house." Didn't escape. That's nine deaths.
Meng Shaoguang frowned, what went wrong?
"Tonight, the patrol battalion has doubled its strength, and half of it is near Shangshufu. As soon as there was movement in the Shangshu Mansion, it was surrounded by the patrol battalion, and now the Shangshu Mansion was under martial law, and the slightest news could not be sent. ”
"Nothing is enough, there is more than failure!"
Meng Shaoguang now has the heart to kill Meng Chenhuan. Her people have always been secretive, and the only one who can be noticed if something happens is Tong Zhi, who is still working hard to check the account books of the household department.
Meng Shaoguang asked Meng Chenhuan to investigate this matter in order not to let him be in a hurry. There is indeed a problem with the accounts of the household department. But it's not a big problem, if the matter in Fuzhou is exposed later, then Meng Chenjing can find out what Tong Zhi did with a little investigation, then the dirty water of this matter can be directly placed on Meng Chenhuan's head by Meng Chenjing without Meng Shaoguang splashing it. Who knew that Tong Zhi was so careless, he was noticed by Chen Xianhe in advance, and quietly teamed up with the military department to set her up!
Meng Shaoguang knew that Chen Xianhe was just making some preparations, and he didn't really think that anyone could find out about his house, and now he can be regarded as a blind cat who has encountered a dead mouse. But this mouse was sent in by Meng Shaoguang!
"Didn't King Chen's Mansion lose a flying flower and a goose, it was rewarded by the emperor. Now that the culprit is trapped in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, Meng Chenhuan should naturally go and take a look. Meng Shaoguang's tone was very cold when he said this, especially the three words Meng Chenhuan.
Meng Chenyu had no doubt that if Meng Chenhuan was in front of him now, she would stab him a few times without hesitation.
"When it comes to the Shangchen Palace, the case in Fuzhou is hanging." Meng Chenyu said very rationally.
Meng Shaoguang didn't think so, stood up and walked two steps and said slowly: "You are wrong, if Meng Chenhuan can't shrink now, there will be a problem." ”
Meng Shaoguang didn't have time to explain to him, so he waved his hand and asked Hehuai to send someone to inform Meng Chenhuan and ask him to take someone to ask for someone in the name of flying flowers and geese, while he walked out.
Meng Chenyu followed up and asked curiously, "Why?" "If the emperor suspects the cause of the case in Fuzhou, then the first one to bear the burden is the Chenwang Mansion, and now the Chenwang Mansion does not avoid suspicion and deliberately gets involved, isn't it self-defeating.
"Meng Chenhuan and Meng Chenjing are not in harmony with the emperor knows, and Meng Chenhuan, who is the secretary of the ministry, also knows that Meng Chenhuan lost the flying flowers and geese and the people in the capital know, if you are Meng Chenhuan, when you get the news, Chen Xianhe has deployed heavy troops around his house with great fanfare, just to capture a Lu Yifan, what will you do? Do you want to stay at home and watch the play? Meng Chenhuan will definitely interfere with this matter as soon as possible, if he doesn't go, it will be abnormal. ”
Meng Chenyu instantly understood when he heard it, and then said: "Yes, my father understands the crown prince, and he also understands King Chen, but according to the meaning of today, King Chen already knows that you will attack his subordinates, and as soon as today's incident comes out, he will inevitably have some scruples and will not be able to shrink to avoid the incident in Fuzhou. ”
Meng Shaoguang nodded silently, and said in his heart that he was not too stupid.
"So where are we going now?"
Meng Shaoguang suddenly stopped, looked at Meng Chenyu and said word by word: "It's not us, it's me, you go back to the house now, stay honestly, what should you do recently, don't run to King An's mansion." ”
Meng Chenyu also understood that as soon as the matter of the ministry came out today, the prince would inevitably be very vigilant, and in order to avoid no problems on either side, he had to be more cautious.
"Okay, be careful."
Meng Shaoguang sneered, raised his eyebrows, and said, "The person in this world who can hurt me has not been born yet." "No wonder Meng Shaoguang is so confident, the key is that she does have the strength to say such things.
Meng Chenyu looked at Meng Shaoguang, who was so confident and flamboyant, and smiled, nodded at her, turned around and left without hesitation.
Meng Shaoguang walked a few steps and stopped, and opened his mouth to say, "I'm going to the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion now, do you want to go together?" ”
Fifth Chen, who was hidden in the dark, walked over slowly with a smile on his face. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Meng Shaoguang's hand very naturally, and walked forward side by side with her.
"When did you find mine?" Fifth Chen's voice sounded pleasant, sensing the slight warmth in his hands. The smile on his face was even bigger.
Meng Shao didn't even look at him, and said naturally: "There is such a big thing with the capital, and everyone who has a little ability knows it, let alone you." "Fifth Chen's eyeliner in Hejing should not be underestimated.
Meng Shaoguang is sure that Fifth Chen has a lot of backers in the court, although she doesn't know who it is, but just relying on the backers is not the style of Fifth Chen, and Fifth Chen has enough ability to ensure that the Fifth Family has peace of mind. There are a few eyeliners and what's so weird.
"Shake, you're so smart, so why are you going out tonight?" Isn't the safest thing to stay in King An's Mansion and do nothing?
Meng Shaoguang looked at Meng Boyan, who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly turned his head to look at Wuchen, and said with a smile: "Who said I went out tonight." Haven't I been staying in the Seven Star Pavilion of King An's Mansion all the time? ”
Without waiting for Wuchen to speak, Meng Boyan had already arrived.
"Miss, Futong Lane is well arranged." As long as Lu Yifan walked out of the gate of the ministry, no one could find him.
Meng Shaoguang nodded. Crossed Meng Boyan and continued to walk forward with Wu Chen.
When they arrived at the Tianshu Pavilion, they stopped.
The Minister's Mansion is now brightly lit and noisy. All the attendants lit lanterns and walked back and forth in the house, looking for strangers in groups of three or five. Chen Xianhe, who was the owner of Shangshu Mansion, sat in the living room with an angry face, and there were countless broken teacups on the ground, which was a mess.
"Father is not angry, now that the outside of the house has been tightly surrounded, it is difficult for Lu Yifan to fly out even if he has wings!" Chen Xianhe's eldest son, Chen Zhou, barely bothered to cheer up.
He still doesn't know what he lost at home, and it is worth Chen Xianhe's work so hard to catch Lu Yifan. Just as he asked one more question, a cup almost hit him on the head. He was already idle and heartless, so it was good to be relieved.
Chen Xianhe also knows. But this matter is too big, there is no room for a little mistake, he didn't dare to let go of the account book before it was found, if it was really the account book, he wouldn't be so anxious, after all, Chen Xianhe may not be able to understand, the key is that it is full of the flow of funds he has embezzled from the treasury over the years, and almost all of the ministers and princes of the DPRK and China are on the list, even the Luguo Mansion also keeps accounts, and Lu Yifan doesn't recognize the accounts, but the name can always be remembered, in case this account book is circulated, the emperor will track it down, and it will be small to raid the family and exterminate the family, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry and pluck his ancestral grave.
The more Chen Xianhe thought about it, the more scared he became, he was very clear about the fate of the Shui family in the Fuzhou case, if the emperor found out that the 800,000 taels of silver were related to him, he couldn't imagine what the emperor would be furious about!
"Master, master!" The porter hurriedly ran over, panting, and tripped over the threshold, almost falling on the splinters.
"Found someone?!" Chen Xianhe looked surprised and stood up from his chair excitedly.
"No, it's not! It's King Chen, His Royal Highness King Chen has come down! ”
Chen Xianhe's eyes widened with fright! Others don't know that he is a close confidant of the prince, can they not know, King Chen is bent on moving to the crown prince to sit on the throne of the prince, and now he has lost something in the palace and made a big move, King Jing Chen is here, it is difficult for people not to think about this matter to King Chen.
Could it be that King Chen knew something and sent someone to steal something? No, no, no, Lu Yifan has come and gone as a person in the rivers and lakes, and King Chen has never heard of him having dealings with people in the rivers and lakes over the years, if not, why did King Chen come so coincidentally?
Chen Xianhe couldn't think clearly, even if he knew that King Chen couldn't know about it, but he still couldn't help but feel a little weak when facing King Chen, after all, Lu Yifan hadn't been caught yet, and he had enough evidence in his hand to put him to death, this feeling of holding his life in the hands of others was too uncomfortable!
Chen Xianhe barely stabilized his mind and asked, "What is King Chen here for?" ”
Before the porter could speak, he heard King Chen, who had already come to the hall, say: "This king heard that there was a thief in Shangshu Mansion, and he was able to commit such a blatant crime in the capital, except for the strange thief Lu Yifan, he didn't think about it." He stole the flying flowers and geese that his father had given to the king before, and the king naturally wanted to come and take a look! ”
The cold sweat on Chen Xianhe's forehead came down instantly.
"Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness King Chen."
"Chen Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, this king has already notified Liu Jin, it is estimated that he will come in a while, is Lu Yifan still in the mansion?" Meng Chenhuan was indeed as Meng Shaoguang thought before, and he thought about it when Meng Shaoguang sent someone to ask him to come. In the end, because he still had to cooperate with Meng Shaoguang, and he was confident enough that Meng Shaoguang would not be unfavorable to him, so he came.
Meng Chenhuan is not stupid in the end, he naturally knows that Meng Shaoguang asked him to come to save that Lu Yifan, he was amazed by the wide range of people in Anwangfu, and at the same time he was deeply jealous, everyone in the rivers and lakes can be used for his own use, who dares to stay in such an Anwangfu?
"Yes, yes, Lu Yifan's thief stole His Highness's head so boldly, he really deserves death." Chen Xianhe fixed his mind, and saw that Meng Chenhuan did seem to be coming for the purpose of flying flowers and geese, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The flying flowers and geese were rewarded by the emperor to Meng Chenhuan, everyone knows this, and Meng Chenhuan did lose the flying flowers and geese a few days ago, and it was stolen by Lu Yifan, and the people in the capital also knew about it, so Meng Chenhuan also deliberately entered the palace to ask for guilt. Chen Xianhe was so nervous that he forgot about it for a while, but now that he thinks about it, it is really a little relieved.
"Lu Yifan, how can a thief work the prince, why don't the prince go back to the house to rest first, and then return to the prince when the officials catch someone, I don't know what the prince wants?"
When Meng Chenhuan heard him say this, he was even more sure that Lu Yifan must have got something terrible, and he snorted coldly on his face: "Hmph! Lu Yifan is indeed bold! Is it also something he can steal if he wants to? Today, the king will make him look good! ”
Chen Xianhe must have known that Meng Chenhuan was not going to leave, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, what the prince said is true." ”
Meng Chenhuan was satisfied, and then he remembered and asked, "By the way, what did Chen Shangshu lose?" I heard that Lu Yifan is very skilled, and the things of several officials have been lost, and it seems that the patrol of Shangshu Mansion is very strict. ”
Chen Xianhe's heart suddenly burst when he heard Meng Chenhuan say this, and his heart began to beat again, he pretended to be calm and showed a look of not smiling, and said to Meng Chenhuan with low eyebrows: "The prince said that he was laughing, probably because Lu Yifan took it lightly, and he was bumped into by the family who got up at night before he stole anything, and then he made a fuss." Isn't this Lu Yifan very rampant in the capital for a while, so I decided that the person who came this time was Lu Yifan, whether it was or not, I won't know until I caught someone.
