In Xingzhou Wei, Meng Guangxiao and Meng Qinghai father and son were captured, and Ji Gang and his entourage immediately galloped back to Beijing.

Because Meng had greeted him in advance, Meng Qingjiang was not on the list of arrests. Because he is a brother with Meng Qinghai, he also has to go to Beijing with him.

"We know the same thing, the evidence is conclusive, and we live together, how can we not know anything at all, and we have nothing to do with it." A lieutenant said to Ji Gang, "Even if Xingningbo delivers the words, he can't ......."

"Huh?" Ji Gang swept his eyes coldly and sneered, "I know how to do things, and I still want you to teach?" ”

"Don't dare!"

"How about Xingningbo, can you put your beak?"

"Don't dare to be humble anymore!"

"I brought you on this errand to see that you have eyes. You have to know what to say and what not to say, what you can and can't do. ”

"Thank you for your teachings!"

Cold sweat flowed from the forehead of the captain, and after saluting, he immediately retreated.

Ji Gang didn't say much, only let his subordinates take a good look at the father and son in the prisoner car, "Don't embarrass them before you arrive in Beijing, don't lack water and food." ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant and the wrestler took the order, looked at Meng Guangxiao and Meng Qinghai in the prisoner car, and flicked the whip.

I can't think about it, I should have hit the wall and bitten my tongue when I was in the flail. doesn't have that ability, who is you going to show this half-dead look?

Meng Guangxiao sat dumbfounded, not making a sound.

Meng Qinghai leaned against the prisoner car, his hair was messy, his expression was sluggish, and a hint of fierceness occasionally flashed in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

There was also a carriage in the procession, on which sat Meng Qingjiang and Meng Qingyi.

When Meng Qingjiang saw the things he searched out of his home, he took the initiative to follow Ji Gang on the road. He believes that with Meng Zai, when he arrives in the capital, he will not be good.

Meng Qingyi took Meng Wang's letter and went to the capital to find Meng. Now that he is back, his identity will finally be revealed one day. He has already cancelled his household registration and cannot issue a road guide. Following Ji Gang is the fastest way to enter Beijing. And Meng Qingyi's true identity, before meeting Meng, Meng Wang's family and Meng Qingjiang planned to hide it.

Hearing that it was to bring a letter to Xingningbo, Ji Gang didn't ask much, just regarded him as an old servant, and he was happy to be a favor.

"Jiurou, can you still hold on?"

"No problem." Meng Qingyi coughed twice, his long-term life outside the fortress was completely destroyed-ruined-his body, if it was not supported by a will, he would definitely die on the vast grassland like most of the border people who were taken away by the Tartars.

"If you endure it any longer, you will soon arrive in the capital." Meng Qingjiang said in a low voice, "When I see Twelve Lang, everything will be fine." ”

Meng Qingyi nodded.

Meng Wangshi talked to him about the changes in his family over the years. Hearing that Meng abandoned the pen to join the army, followed the Jingjing Difficulty, and was awarded the first-class uncle for his dragon merit, and was a military attache of the imperial court, Meng Qingyi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

I am happy that Twelve Lang is getting ahead, but I also feel sorry for him.

I haven't seen him for eleven years, does he still remember his ninth brother?

At that time, Twelve Lang was only fourteen, but he was only a half-grown child.

Dad is gone, starling and him are not there, and there is Meng Guangxiao's persecution, and the disregard of the clansmen, how did Twelve Lang support the family?

went to the side and went to the battlefield again, how did you survive?

Meng Guangxiao, Meng Qinghai!

If it weren't for these two brutes, the father and mother would have been on their knees, the starling and the sister-in-law would not be separated forever, he and his daughter-in-law should have both children and daughters, and Twelve Lang should continue the imperial examination and get famous!

Now, all is in vain.

Meng Qingyi leaned in the carriage, and his back seemed to be hunched even more.

Meng Qingjiang wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak. I could only sigh and flick the whip fiercely, as if I wanted to vent all my frustration.

The group was about to leave Yanzhou Mansion, and at noon, far from the post station, Ji Gang ordered to rest on the side of the road.

A wrestler carried two cakes with a water bladder and opened the door of the prisoner car, "Eat!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the warrior turned around, Meng Qinghai suddenly rose up and bit his ear fiercely.

"Ahh

With a scream, everyone was suddenly startled, and a small flag that was closer immediately pounced on it, and the same general flag joined forces to pull Meng Qinghai away.

Lux covered his missing ear, blood flowed out of his fingers, and stared fiercely at Meng Qinghai who was pressed down, "I'm going to kill you!" ”

"Kill, you kill! If you don't kill you, you're a bad seed, raised by a little lady! ”

"You!"

Lux was red-eyed, and he was about to step forward with a knife, but he was held down by the lieutenant on the shoulder, and his anger was nowhere to vent, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Ji Gang walked over and asked Lux to take aside to treat the injury, sneered, and stepped on Meng Qinghai's head. The sole of the boot was crushed hard, and soon, Meng Qinghai's face was deformed.

"What, want to die?" Ji Gang removed his feet and lowered his gaze, "It's not that easy!" ”

"Tongzhi, just let him go?" If Meng Qinghai died at this time, or died in the hands of Jinyiwei, they would not be able to explain when they returned to Kyoto.

"Don't put on the flail, gag your mouth, tie your hands and feet, and tie them to the prisoner's car." Ji Gang stared at Meng Qinghai, as if he was looking at a dead thing, "Before you arrive in Beijing, give half a bowl of water every day and a piece of cake every two days, don't let him die." ”

"Obey!"

The lieutenant should be refreshed, without the need for others, and personally take two wrestlers to do it.

Meng Qinghai was originally sitting in a prisoner car, with his hands and feet tied, and then tied to the car, he couldn't sit down and stand up, and it was difficult to move. It's okay for a while, but after a long time, the hands and feet will soon become numb, and then the whole body will be stiff, and the taste is worse than being whipped.

Jinyiwei's methods are just the tip of the iceberg.

The evidence was found and involved in the southwest palace, and if the Son of Heaven did not speak, the father and son could not die. Even if you only have one breath left, you have to live!

When they enter the Beizhen Fusi, they will know that if they offend something that should not be offended, it is more uncomfortable to live than to die!

When dealing with Meng Qinghai, Meng Guangxiao was stunned, did not make a sound, and did not move.

Ji Gang turned his head to look at the carriage, but there was no movement. Nodding, he ordered the team to continue their journey.

Rushed back to Nanjing a day earlier and reported to the commander, he could do more.

He can be sure that Meng Qinghai is a pawn who can't be smaller, but it is such a pawn that is the best breakthrough. Thinking of the two pieces of evidence in his arms, Ji Gang licked his lips, like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, and finally found its prey.

In mid-May, Ji Gang and his entourage finally arrived in Nanjing.

In the lobby of Fusi in Weibei Town, Yang Duo held a white cloth towel and slowly wiped the long knife.

The black eyes are reflected on the shiny knife body, bottomless, and there seems to be no trace of popularity.

Qianhu Li Shi strode into the hall, pressed the knife with one hand, and saluted: "Commander, Ji Tongzhi is back." ”

Yang Duo put down the cloth towel, erected the blade of the knife, and coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, "Count the days, it's time to come back." ”

Li Qianhu knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.

In recent days, Commander Yang has become more and more unfathomable and elusive. The brothers in the pacification division, who is not frightened all day long.

To be honest, the conductor is not popular at best, and he really doesn't care about the brothers in the North Town Fu Division, that is the work of the South Town Fu Division. can go from Tongzhi to Captain Lux Shi, seeing Commander Yang, it is still like a mouse seeing a cat, and his legs are weak.

Yang Duo put the knife back into its sheath, "Can you bring it back?" ”

"Ji Tongzhi entered the city with a prisoner car."

"That's good."

"......"

"What?"

"And a carriage."

"Carriage?"

Li Qianhu replied truthfully: "After entering the city, the carriage went in the direction of Xingningbo Mansion. ”

Hinningbo?

After pondering for a moment, Yang Duo said: "This matter is pressed for the time being, you go down first, see Ji Gang, and let him come to see me." ”

"Yes."

Exiting the second hall and walking seven or eight steps away, Li Qianhu dared to wipe his forehead.

Commanding this momentum is really getting more and more terrifying.

Before returning to Beizhen Fusi to resume his life, Ji Gang specially sent two Jinyi guards to send Meng Qingjiang and the two to Xingningbo Mansion.

"Go back quickly, if your uncle has anything to say, remember it clearly and then report back."

"Obey!"

Originally, Meng Qingjiang should also go to Jinyi Prison, but Ji Gang made the decision and directly asked him and Meng Qingyi to go to see Xingningbo together. Anyway, the people have already arrived in the capital, and if Xingningbo is a person, if he really has anything to do with it, he will never cover it.

On the contrary, by doing so, he is selling a small favor. Nowadays, there are not many opportunities to make Xingningbo owe favors.

Commander Yang knew about it, and he shouldn't blame him for making his own decisions. In this way, the cost of repairing the edict may be settled.

The carriage rushed to Xingningbo's mansion, called to open the corner gate, and explained his intentions, but was directly led to the Guogong Mansion next door by the door of Bofu.

"Uncle lives in the Guogong Mansion and learns from the Duke of Dingguo."

Generals learn from each other?

If you were someone else, you would be scoffed at. Changed to Xingningbo and Dingguogong, but it is a matter of course.

Regardless of Xingningbo, Dingguogong's blow to the sergeants and doctors of the court is almost devastating, and will continue to strike according to the situation.

"Twelve-Lang He ......"

Meng Qingyi's expression was questioning, and Meng Wang did not mention the friendship between Meng and Shen Xuan to him.

Meng Qingjiang knew that Twelve Lang was on the same bus as Dingguo, got off the carriage, and followed Menzi into the gate of Dingguo Mansion.

With the Jinyi guard and the handwritten letter from King Meng, there is no need to doubt the identity of the two, and there is immediately a guard to report to Santang.

Just drank the medicine, Meng followed the doctor's instructions, crooked on the couch to read, and listened to the report of the guards that Meng Qingjiang was coming, and immediately got up, "Please." ”

Seeing Meng Qingyi who walked in together, he heard him call out "Twelve Lang", but Meng couldn't remember who this person was. Until Meng Qingjiang revealed Meng Qingyi's identity, he was instantly on the spot.

"Twelve, I'm the ninth brother!"

Brother Jiu?

Meng tugged at the corners of his mouth stiffly, not knowing how to react.

Hugging your head and crying? I really can't do it.

Although he regards Meng Wang's family as a relative, Meng Qingyi in front of him is really a stranger to him.

The person who had been dead for eleven years suddenly came to life, if it weren't for Meng Qingjiang's words, he really wouldn't have believed that the man in front of him, who seemed to be half a hundred, would be his own brother.

probably thought that Meng was too surprised, and he didn't react for a while, and he didn't care about Meng's Muran, Meng Qingjiang and Meng Qingyi.

"It's been more than ten years, and Twelve Lang doesn't think he recognizes me anymore."

Meng knew that he couldn't continue to go on, so he personally picked up the teapot, poured two cups of hot tea, and said, "Brother Jiu, sit down first." The fourth cousin also sits. The younger brother was so happy to see the ninth brother at first sight......"

The words were dry, but Meng Qingyi's eyes were red.

Maybe it's really bloodline nature, looking at his appearance, a sour feeling rose in Meng's heart.

"Brother Jiu, how have you spent all these years? Why didn't you come back earlier? ”

Meng Qingyi rubbed his face twice, sighed, and recounted the death of his father and son back then, Rao had a guess about what Meng Guangxiao's father and son did, and Meng still gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Brother Jiu, you have suffered!"

"If you can come back, no amount of suffering is worth it!" Meng Qingyi said with red eyes, "It's just that my father and starling can't even find the bones." ”

"Brother Jiu, do you remember the place you passed by?"

"Remember, remember!"

"When this incident is over, my brother will go to the place where my father and brother were killed, and I will definitely be able to recover the bones of my father and starling!"

"Hey!"

Meng Qingyi nodded heavily, Meng's words seemed to remove the dense fog above his head, no wonder his mother would tell him that Twelve Lang was different. If he could really find the bones of his father and brother, he would die immediately, and he would be willing!

Seeing that Meng Qingyi's expression improved slightly, Meng tried to ask, "Brother Jiu just said that there was a war on the grassland?" ”

"Yes, it's because the Tartars have been killed that I'm back."

Seeing that Meng deliberately asked, Meng Qingyi did not hide it, and told all the things about how his tribe was wiped out by other tribes, and how the victors did not have time to share the spoils of war, and were slaughtered by the latecomers.

It's like a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.

Two battles took place one after another, but the final victor saw the belt and leather robe on the dead soldier's body, and suddenly retreated, leaving even the cattle, sheep and slaves behind, and Meng Qingyi managed to escape back.

To this end, he also mixed in with a small tribe that belonged to the Ming Dynasty, at the cost of two daggers touched from the Tartars.

Speaking of the leader of this small tribe, Meng has also seen it, it is the one who went to the capital to pay tribute before.

"There are a lot of things like that. Since a few years ago, there has been no peace on the grassland, and the fighting between large and small tribes has not stopped. Last summer, the Tartars were going to change to a new khan, and the original khan was driven out, and the new khan heard what clan it was, coming from further north. There are those who are convinced, and there are those who are not convinced, and the quarrel is endless, and if the quarrel does not come to a result, there will be a war. “

"The Khan who was driven away is a ghost?"

"I really don't know about this." Meng Qingyi was able to tell the current situation in the grassland, also because his tribe originally belonged to Yesuntai. As a lowest-status slave, he only knew the name of the tribe, and it was not clear which tribe was feuding with, and the Khan of the Tartars, the Prime Minister, was not clear.

I don't know......

Meng was a little disappointed.

Only by determining whether the ghost is alive or dead now can we know whether or not the truth that the beggar of Uliangha told him is true.

The tribe that took Meng Jiulang out of the Saiwai originally belonged to Yesuntai, he and Gui Lichi's family have been married for generations, and he is the iron core of Gui Lichi, but unfortunately he was killed by his subordinates, which is equivalent to cutting off one of Ghost Lichi's arms.

The equally powerful Arutai and Ghost Li Chi did not deal with it very well, according to Qilegai, he and the vulture king of the former Yuan clan of nomadic Samarkand often came and went, and there was a great intention to support Benjamin's ascension to the throne of Khan.

Ma Erhazan, who is slightly inferior in strength, is a wall-riding faction, and basically whichever side gives more benefits will be favored.

If Ghost Lichi is still alive, the imperial court can take the opportunity to make an article. Tatar has already declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and the ghost power has the golden seal and seal given by the Yongle Emperor, and whoever dares to drive him away is provoking the Ming Dynasty.

If the ghost power dies, there will be more articles that can be done.

After all, dead people can't speak, how Da Ming wants to "seek justice" for him, and how he wants to play a righteous role, Zhu Di has the final say.

Just like the current North Korea.

Jin Yiwei brought back the letter of distress from the king of Joseon, regardless of whether it was written by Li Fangyuan himself, or Li Ingui, who was under house arrest, took the opportunity to kill his son, the letter was stamped with the seal of the king of Joseon, and no one asked to check the handwriting of the king of Joseon, and Emperor Yongle said in front of his ministers that he must help Korea.

The Joseon prince who went to Nanjing to pay tribute was detained, and Meng Shan, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong army, soon received an order to transfer troops.

Regardless of whether the DPRK knew its mistakes and could correct them or stubbornly resisted, the Ming Dynasty must firmly exert the spirit of internationalism and safeguard world peace. As for the ownership of the territory that has been maintained peacefully...... In short, let's maintain it first.

From Meng Qingyi's mouth, he couldn't ask too much, so Meng called the guards and arranged for Meng Qingjiang and Meng Qingyi to rest in the guest room.

"Brother Jiu will stay for the time being, and leave the household registration matter to Brother Yu."

Meng Qingyi hurried for days and was already exhausted.

Meng Qingjiang believed that Twelve Lang would not prevaricate him with words at will, and he would live with peace of mind.

The three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they didn't mention Meng Guangxiao and Meng Qinghai.

"Aunt Sixth has been taken to Daning."

Meng nodded and said, "Thank you to the fourth cousin for sending the letter to the family, and in the fourth cousin's family, Ding Qianhu and Ma Qianhu will definitely take care of it." ”

After arranging Meng Qingjiang and Meng Qingyi, it was already sunset.

Shen Xuan returned from the yamen, returned to the east chamber of the third hall, pushed open the door, and saw Meng sitting at the table, holding his head by candlelight, spreading his head and reading the letter.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Meng raised his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, I'm back." ”

Shen Xuan's eyebrows stretched, he stepped forward, leaned over and rubbed the corner of Meng's forehead, held the back of his neck with his big hand, and kissed him on the lips.

In the guest room, Meng Qingyi had eaten, lay on the couch after washing, and suddenly asked, "Why doesn't Twelve Lang live in the Bofu Mansion and live in the Guogong Mansion?" ”

Meng Qingjiang was about to go back to the room, and when he heard this, he stopped and scratched his head.

Ask him?

Who he asked?

It seems that from now on, Twelve Lang will live in a tent with the grandfather of the country, and no one thought it was inappropriate at that time.

As you see, it seems, there is indeed something wrong?
