Li Qing nodded in response, and then watched Meng Fusheng's figure disappear into the night.

Meng Fusheng soon returned to the imperial city alone, he entered the palace and told him that the Cangguo people were very likely to rob the prison, Du Weizhen was simply furious, "This group of Cangguo people dare to stir up trouble in the land of my Kunguo!" ”

Meng Fusheng took the initiative to propose: "I'll go to the prison to watch Du Chenliang first, and play a game with the people of Cangguo to wait for the rabbit." ”

Meng Fusheng stayed in prison for two days, and he didn't dare to close his eyes for these two days, for fear that when he opened his eyes, the people in the iron cage next door would be gone, and he would be described as haggard.

This drama of waiting for the rabbit not only didn't wait for the rabbit, but also almost played himself in, Meng Fusheng realized that he had been tricked, and was even ridiculed by Du Chenliang: "Snort, Lord Meng can't live in a good house, and came to the messy prison to accompany me, how did I not know that you were deeply in love with me as expected." ”

Meng Fusheng was so blocked that he couldn't speak for the first time, so he left with a black face.

But at this time, Du Weizhen received news that two imperial merchants in the imperial city were suddenly robbed, if they were just for the money, but they not only plundered a large number of gold and silver treasures, but also attacked innocent women and children.

Many of the two royal merchants died.

After receiving the news, Du Weizhen immediately sent people to investigate, and planned to suppress the news for the time being, so as not to cause panic.

But this matter could not be suppressed, the thief acted at the dawn of the day, when many people woke up, and there were many people on the street, and the cries from the two mansions came one after another, where can be ignored.

At first, the matter only spread among neighbors, and then it spread more and more widely, and the more outrageous it became, and then it became that two imperial merchants were destroyed. The people sighed and were very frightened, many people rushed to their homes before it was dark, the small merchants and hawkers did not even dare to do business at night, and the big shops also closed their doors one after another, and all of a sudden, at night, the streets were like dead cities, and there were few voices.

In addition, the two imperial merchants are not arrogant and unscrupulous, and it can even be said that one of them is still a well-known big businessman, who often gives porridge to beggars in the south and north of the city, such a good person can cause such a disaster, let alone them?

Panic was like a thick dark cloud in the sky, hanging heavily over the imperial city, causing panic in the hearts of the people.

The relevant officials have no choice, they haven't even found any clues about the murderer now, and if they continue to make trouble like this, the black gauze hat on his head will be finished sooner or later, so they have to post a notice to stabilize people's hearts, writing that they will find out the murderer as soon as possible, and they will also strengthen patrols, so that the people will not be harmed.

However, after this incident, the credibility and authority of the government have been imperceptibly reduced in the hearts of the people, and not many people dare to go out on the streets at night, and the relevant officials have no choice but to intensify the investigation of the case.

Du Weizhen also attached great importance to this case, especially when he saw the bleak streets, in his impression, the imperial city should be full of people, even late at night, it was as lively as day, he really did not want to see that under his own governance, the people did not even dare to go out at night.

Therefore, he also used the power of the royal family to investigate the case, and tried to find out as soon as possible.

And Meng Fusheng, after realizing that he might have been fooled, left the imperial city in a rage and went to meet with Li Qing.

Meng Fusheng found Li Qing when he first knew that the people of Cangguo had returned to the imperial city to rescue Du Chenliang's woods, and he was lying on a thick branch boredly, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up, and he immediately crossed over.

"You're back."

Meng Fusheng angrily tricked him, stayed in the prison day and night to guard Du Chenliang, and planned to play a place to wait for the rabbit but was played with as if pouring bitter water, and then he didn't forget to grit his teeth and curse a few times, which shows how angry he is.

But also, anyone who stays in the prison every step of the way, let alone sleeps, has not even bathed, and has been making trouble for two days, making himself dirty and smelly, but he can't keep calm when he learns that he has been tricked.

Li Qing was also righteous enough, so he didn't laugh at him, but told him other things with a solemn face, "It turns out that the dead man has not come to pass the news to him in the past few days, and the people of Cangguo have not acted at all at night and have been staying there." ”

"Huh?" Meng Fusheng raised his voice, and the sunlight left a dappled shadow on his face through the leaves, "Then what do you think?" ”

Li Qing took over, "We may have been dumped, that dead man." Li Qing paused, "Maybe it was discovered?" ”

He said with some uncertainty, but Meng Fusheng felt that this was very likely.

Li Qing continued, "But I didn't find his body, so he shouldn't be dead." ”

The two were silent, thinking about each other, Li Qing still scratched his head, feeling that he shouldn't think about such a brain-bothering thing, so he simply asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Wait." Meng Fusheng said categorically, "Since the dead man has been discovered and is not dead, then we must see his person with our own eyes, after all, he has mastered a lot of things." ”

Li Qing had no objections, and the two reached a consensus and decided to wait until the evening to go to the envoys of Cangguo to bring people out.

Even Meng Fusheng didn't expect that the process would be so smooth, the dead man was knocked unconscious and tied up, and thrown in an open space at random, with a few people guarding around.

Those few people were easily dealt with by the two, and then Meng Fusheng carried the dead soldiers away, intending to return to the imperial city directly.

The dead man didn't know what kind of medicine he had been given, and he didn't wake up, Meng Fusheng checked his pulse, and the pulse was a little weak, but there was still it anyway, so he thought about simply taking it back.

After returning to the palace, Meng Fusheng handed over the dead man to a imperial doctor, and then went to tell Du Weizhen about it, but before the two of them could say much, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the dead man has woken up and said that there is a major matter to report to the emperor." ”

Meng Fusheng and Du Weizhen looked at each other and decided to go over and have a look first.

Du Weizhen stepped into the room first, and Meng Fusheng went in, thinking that as soon as the dead man saw Meng Fusheng like a little ghost seeing Lord Yama, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost fainted directly.

Meng Fusheng frowned, not knowing what he meant, but before he could ask, the dead man pounced at Du Weizhen's feet and cried: "Your Majesty, help!" Master Meng is going to kill me! ”

Du Weizhen was so shocked by his sudden movement that he didn't react for a while, let him hug him tightly, and then listened to what he said, and just wanted to kick him away.
