Chapter 252: Seeing the Truth Before the Great Tribulation Comes

It is commonplace for Jinyi to take people.

It's not the first time Zhang Yue has seen Jinyi Wei take people. The first time he was taken away was his eldest uncle Zhang Xin, the second time he saw Liang Qian, who had a relationship with the Du family, and the third time, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, at least Meng Xian is still in the edict prison of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, and this time it was his turn to teach his teacher.

Seeing the carriage blowing away in the dust, and seeing the team of brightly dressed men and horses galloping to follow, he couldn't help clenching his fists and taking a deep breath, and repeatedly warned himself - without Jinyiwei, there would be the East Factory, and without the East Factory, there would be the West Factory. All in all, even if it is a dynasty without factory guards, this life and death honor and disgrace are always in the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Di, the emperor, is not a soft-hearted stubble, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings, Du Zhen is afraid that it will not be easier than Meng Xian to pass this trip. After all, with the status of a meritorious hero, Meng Xian's affairs have not yet been believed. From this point alone, the two most likely people to become his father-in-law are now going to become cellmates in the edict?

Seeing that Zhang Yue turned around and entered the gate of the mansion with a heavy heart, Ling Hua wanted to catch up and remind him a few words, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea. At this point, everything in the Qingzhou Mansion is empty, and what matters is what kind of wrestling game there will be in Beijing City, in the final analysis, it depends on what the Son of Heaven thinks. If it was a few years earlier, then there was no need to say anything about this matter, Du Zhen was destined to die, but now the momentum of King Han is not as good as before, and there is always a little bit of opportunity to turn around.

"I heard that Lord Du was also a celebrity before the Son of Heaven drove at the beginning, how could he be so confused this time?" He thought about it and always felt that there was something strange in this, but he couldn't say anything weird, so in the end, he simply sighed heavily, "Anyway, I have a humble position, and I can't say anything now, so it's better to go back and prepare a Cheng Yi for Brother Zhang." ”

The weather was already hot at the beginning of May, and many of the two big trees perched in the yard were chirping loudly at noon, which made the already restless people a little impetuous. The careful Lingxi remembered that Zhang Yue had mentioned that the screams of this acquaintance were too noisy yesterday, and at this moment he was directing a few elders to stick bamboo poles to the trees. She had only stood under the sun for a short time on this hot day, and her face was covered with sweat, and her forehead hair was wet with sweat.

Zhang Yue stepped into the courtyard gate and saw this scene, and hurriedly beckoned Lingxi over. After asking a few words, and knowing that Du Juan was not in the house, he couldn't help but change his face slightly, and his heart was very strange. Although he deliberately concealed Du Juan, she was such a smart person, she would never be kept in the dark all the time, let alone let her father be taken away without doing anything at all.

Lingxi gently wiped his head and face with his sleeve, and then said seriously: "Miss Du is thoughtful, and she must know that today's events are inevitable, so she is thinking about the future. She has always been extremely considerate of others, and she knows that the young master must be very entangled in her heart, and the two of them may not be able to discuss a good idea when they meet, so she didn't come over. ”

"You're right."

Stretching out his hands and pressing his temples, Zhang Yue took a deep breath: "I will also return to Beijing in three days, you quickly take someone to prepare." If it goes well in Beijing this time, it's fine, if it doesn't go well, I'm afraid it will take a long time, so you might as well clean it up, and it doesn't matter if you go on the road a few days later after I set off. By the way, since you are leaving, the gifts that the Han Wangfu gave at the beginning will be sealed as they are, and when the time comes, they will be taken over by the Yamen of the Inspectorate and the Shandong Branch of the Metropolitan Inspectorate. ”

Every time Zhang Yue said a word, Lingxi nodded, and at the end he repeated it in detail, and then he was ready to go into the house to clean up. Before she could take a few steps, she heard Zhang Yue's voice behind her, and quickly turned around again.

"There has been no letter from Beijing in the past few days?"

Seeing that Lingxi shook his head, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be quite disappointed in his heart. Although Mu Ning packed a ticket to him and said that this time the Son of Heaven was angry only because the King of Han sued Diao, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had nothing to find fault with, but it was just a small thrill of thunder and rain, but there was not a single word from the family in Beijing, which was really abnormal. Even if the British Gong Zhang Fu went to Xuanfu to train troops to guard against Meng Yuan, Mrs. Wang was still there, and his grandmother Gu was still there, so why was he himself about to be questioned but there was no movement at all?

Every summer, large families will replace the paper pasting the windows with various colors of light and breathable leno, if in the past when they were in Beijing, the girls of the Meng family would have been busy. However, now that I am away from home, it coincides with a great change in my family, and the amount of food and medicine is still insufficient, and no one has the heart to care about this. Only Meng Min's younger siblings have never suffered since they were children, but now there are more mosquitoes and a few bites, and the arms, legs and feet are full of red bags.

When Meng Xian was still there, Aunt Zhong had always been the most favored because of her youth and beauty, and now her son, who was regarded as relying on her for the second half of her life, was tossed by mosquitoes, she couldn't hold back her temperament anymore, and she couldn't care about Mrs. Wu still being sick, so she went straight to the upper room and said bluntly: "Miss, it is getting hot day by day, if it is still like this, this day is really impossible!" ”

Aunt Liang, who came with her, also took her daughter Meng Lan's hand and shouted loudly: "My lord is still in prison by Jinyiwei, and my wife can't be sick for a day, so let's stay in Qingzhou and live in someone else's house, right?" If you want me to tell the truth, the eldest lady is here to serve his wife's illness is a matter of course, a few of us stay here and can't help, it is better to go to Beijing quickly, if there is something to take care of the master, it is convenient to ask for the Baoding Marquis Mansion. ”

"And the Miss Du who has lived in our house for several days, I heard that her father also gave it to Jinyiwei, at this juncture, our Meng family is difficult to protect, more is better than less, Miss, don't push the master into the fire pit!"

"That's it, now the third son of the Zhang family is difficult to protect himself, let's take refuge under him, maybe we will have to be involved!"

Hearing the voices of these two aunts, the red sleeves on the side suddenly turned blue with anger. Although she used to hate Du Juan who was sideways, but these days after getting along, she deeply feels the benefits of others, and knows how much they have helped her young lady. At this moment, Mrs. Wu is resting in the room, and these two aunts are making trouble regardless of it, this kicking on the nose and face is really too much, and there is no one to support Mrs. Wu when she is sick?

Meng Min was also pale at this time. Although she is concentrating on taking care of her mother these days and does not go out, it does not mean that she really ignores things outside the window, she has always been concerned about the situation on Zhang Yue's side, how could she not know such a big movement this time? Thinking that she begged him at that time, he helped herself without saying a word, and then ran forward and backward, as if she didn't care that her father was keen on that marriage because of other considerations, she only felt a burst of heat in her heart, and couldn't help clenching her handkerchief.

When Aunt Zhong and Aunt Liang finally came to an end, she asked coldly, "Are you done?" Let's not talk about right or wrong, don't forget, when we were kicked out of the Dusi Yamen, who took us in, why didn't others remember that our Meng family was unlucky and wanted to be cleared up? Sister Du lives in our house, and she takes out all the food and clothing by herself, and she also helps our family with a lot of silver, and a lot of what you eat these days is taken out by others, why don't you think others are a scourge at that time? ”

Aunt Zhong's face turned blue at this time, although she knew that Meng Min had always been in charge of the house, but she had always seen her temperament, where had she ever heard her speak so ruthlessly? Relying on the fact that she was an aunt who had raised a son for the Meng family, she took a deep breath, and her words became sharp: "What is this word, Miss, is it because others are good for a while, we have to go all the way to the dark?" You are not alone in this family, Bai Ge'er and Lan Ya are still young, so you can't let them be implicated by outsiders because of your private affairs......"

"Auntie, please be respectful!" Meng Min interrupted Aunt Zhong's words in a deep voice, and her pale face revealed an indescribable anger, "It's just that you accuse me of my innocence, why bother with others?" The sixth brother and the seventh sister are usually pampered because of their surname Meng, could it be that they enjoyed wealth in the past, but now they can't share the suffering with their families? It's true that I'm not alone in this family, but since my mother entrusted me with the housekeeping before she fell ill, it should naturally be forbidden! My aunt asked someone to sell the jewelry for money three times before and after, but she didn't see a penny of it being put into the public middle school, and she didn't see a penny of subsidy to the sixth brother, what is going on? ”

Aunt Liang on the side saw that the situation was not good, and she had already dragged her daughter Meng Lan to the side. It was only at this time that Aunt Zhong became a little flustered. Just as she wanted to fight back, she saw that the curtain of the back room was lifted, and an unexpected person came out. In a panic, she suddenly became half shorter, and it took a long time for her to hold back her voice.

"Ma'am!"

"Do you know my wife?" Although her feet were still tight, Mrs. Wu's words were still like knives, "You dare to talk nonsense like this when I am still here, if I am not here, you will not be able to turn the sky in this house?" Your deed is still in my makeup box, if you dislike the Meng family is now a fire pit, then I will immediately send someone to sell you, and you can change your family to live your rich life in the future! ”

Aunt Zhong was really scared at this time, and as soon as her knees were weak, she begged for mercy on the ground again and again. It wasn't until Mrs. Wu opened her mouth and shouted that she quickly pulled up her son Meng Bai and retreated in embarrassment, and Aunt Liang also panicked and pulled her daughter to follow behind. It wasn't until the two of them left that Meng Min suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly went up to hold his mother-in-law's arm.

"Minmin, don't be wordy with them when you encounter this matter in the future, let alone be soft!" Mrs. Wu sat down on the east end of the kang with difficulty, and her panting voice gradually became heavier, "I heard their words just now, although it is probably nonsense, but they are not wrong about one thing, while my illness can still afford to drag on, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible!" ”

"Mother, but how can your body withstand the toss on the road?"

"I'm in much better spirits now, and I may never be able to go back to Beijing if I don't go on the road." Mrs. Wu sighed tiredly, raised her head and swept Meng Min's face again, because she said with a smile, "I thought I couldn't get it anymore, but who knew that Dr. Feng saved me from the ghost gate." I heard he was also gambling for a year? This life and death are fateful, and it is really boring to die to pick the time of that year, his methods are already very clever, let's not embarrass others, let him go back when he returns to Beijing. ”

Mrs. Wu had been bedridden for several months, and she just listened to the quarrel outside, so she reluctantly got out of bed. After saying these few words at this time, she felt dizzy in her head, but she still held her daughter's hand.

"We dragged Zhang Yue down this time, and let Miss Du help so much back and forth, so this favor is already too much. Let me ask you, is what those two shallow women said just now true? ”

Because Meng Min strictly forbade others to mention outside matters in front of his mother, he was a little embarrassed at this time. However, Mrs. Wu asked three times and twice, and she had to mention the matter of mentioning Du Zhen's guilt, and said that Zhang Yue would return to Beijing in a few days, but she immediately comforted and said: "They are different from Daddy, but others have slandered them, and I think it should be fine." ”

"It's just your brother, Lord Du's situation is actually no different from your father." Mrs. Wu was distracted for a moment, and then she shook her head helplessly, "Your father is asking for Huang Tengda, and what Lord Du is asking for should not be these, but the danger is the same." That being the case, your sister Du is about to return to Beijing, you let people clean up, everyone walks together, and there is a good response on the way. You commanded to go down, and if anyone chews his tongue again in the future, whether it is the master or the subordinate, he will all practice the family law! A group of things that don't know what to do, our Meng family's face has been lost to them! ”

Du Juan didn't come back until dusk that day, and when he saw her enter the door, Zhang Yue, who had already come to Meng's house, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief - if she didn't come back, he would almost use the government officials to go to the city to find people. After asking for a while, and seeing that she did not show any worries or sorrows, he mentioned that everyone would leave together three days later.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I plan to go back to Jinan early tomorrow morning." Du Wanqiang smiled to herself, and when she saw that Zhang Yue and Meng Min were both looking at her with concern on their faces, she explained, "Uncle Meng was in trouble before, and those colleagues in the Dusi Yamen were also much more down, not to mention my father? My mother's stay in the political secretary for one more day will be more troublesome, so I have to go back and pick her up as soon as possible to Beijing. I won't say anything kind, senior brother will lend me a few proper housekeepers first. ”

Zhang Yue could rest assured, and hurriedly said: "If you take the official road horizontally and vertically, you must pass through Jinan, why don't I accompany you." ”

"My mother and I have gone through a lot of storms in the past ten years, and this scene can still be handled, you just took Sister Min and her family to Beijing this time, so you don't have to worry about it here." Du Juan walked up to Meng Min, gently took her hand, and said word by word, "Let's take care of each other, and we will be together again when we arrive in Beijing." ”
