Chapter 132: The Sinner Who Runaway
Su Ren was leaving, and it hadn't been three months yet, so he went to say to his teacher Wen Dang. Before I entered the alley where the Taishou Mansion was located, I was startled by the crowd. Taishou Mansion has always been deserted here, and it is the first time that there are so many people all of a sudden.
Laifu came out of a nearby alley and stopped Su Ren's horse: "Shipeng, please come with me, you can't go in front." ”
"What's going on? What is a good day today, so many people? ”
"Hey!" Laifu sighed: "It's not the Meng family, Meng will lead people to arrest people everywhere in the city, these are the relatives and friends of those who are the masters, and they are all important people who came to the Taishou Mansion." ”
Entering the Taishou Mansion through the back door, the tension in the courtyard was obvious, and the back door was guarded by public officials. Fortunately, Su Ren sent someone to Taishou Mansion in advance to say hello, if he rushed to the gate recklessly, who knows what will happen.
Wen Dang was not there, and he received Su Ren on a regular basis. Su Ren knew that at this time, the Wen Party must be in the Meng family, and Meng Bi is not secretive, and if he makes this mess, he has to be cleaned up by the Wen Party, and it is certain that he will be released. If these people sue another abduction and use lynching, the Meng family will have to drink a pot.
Chang Shi looked at Su Ren: "It's a good thing that you want to leave, leave this place as soon as possible, and come back when things calm down, right?" ”
"I wonder how Taishou is going to calm this matter? If the Meng family doesn't let go, will it be difficult to do it? ”
"There's no way around that!" Chang Shi sighed: "The two fathers and sons of the Meng family, doing such a thing, originally wanted to suppress public opinion, but they made a storm all over the city, if they don't let people go, they can only do it, they have to give the people an explanation, right?" ”
"That's right!" Su Ren nodded: "Since this is the case, I won't bother, the teacher is back, don't say a word for me, the kid is going to Dujiangyan, if there is nothing to do, he may not come back until the New Year, and he can't personally visit the teacher and don't drive during the New Year, the kid is ashamed." ”
"In extraordinary times, there is no way to do it, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, but this thing happened, I hope the matter will not expand."
Laifu sent Su Ren out, and the two parted ways. Before leaving, Su Ren said to Laifu: "Good students take care of the teacher, if there is any problem, you can go to my house, in my opinion, the father and son of the Meng family will not let people go easily, if you don't find out who spread the conversation of that day, the father and son of the Meng family will never give up." ”
Laifu nodded: "Understood!" Su Shipeng was careful all the way. ”
Back at home, Su Ren immediately asked people to pack up their things, leaving Huo Laosi to take care of business, Liu Gao to take care of the family, Gou Tianming to take care of the safety of the personnel, and everyone else followed Su Ren to Dujiangyan.
Dujiangyan is located in the middle of nowhere, and will pass by Wenshui County. The new county commander Zhang Hu, who was simple in the light car, was waiting in the Shili Pavilion. The originally capable public head has only been seen for ten months, and he has made a lot of fortunes. The black clothes are worn on his body, and he really has some prefectural style.
Seeing Su Ren coming, Zhang Hu led the horse for Su Ren. With a smile on his face: "Shi Peng is a glorious return, I know that Shi Peng doesn't like to make a fuss, and he won't go to the county, so he prepared some water and wine in this Shili Pavilion, and I hope that Shi Peng will appreciate his face and drink a few glasses to warm his body." ”
Su Ren said with a smile: "The dignified county order actually led me to lead a horse, and this honor is also an honor for future generations of children and grandchildren, or we have good warm water, beautiful mountains and rivers, and the people are simple, I have only been in Chengdu for a few days, I have been seriously ill, and I almost didn't die in Chengdu." ”
Zhang Hu smiled: "Shi Peng is a character with ambitions of thousands of miles, how can that little thing stop Shi Peng, I have heard in this warm water, a gamble between Shi Peng and Changshi, Shi Peng will take all the industries of Changshi at will, and our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will go to a higher level." ”
"Hehehe, it's really a good thing that doesn't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles, it's only been a few days, and it's been spread here."
"Not to mention warm water, the surrounding counties are all spreading the news, it's not that I said, I'm afraid the Meng family's business will hit me hard this time." Zhang Hu stretched out his thumb: "It's still a great city, and I admire it." ”
Su Ren said: "The county lord doesn't dare to talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't see that I want to avoid Dujiangyan in order to avoid suspicion." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's me who lost my words, and I punished myself!"
Leng Jun and Leng Yue want to go back to Laojun to watch Master Chongxu Dao Chang. Su Ren didn't go, since he was leaving, he rushed to Dujiangyan as soon as possible and got himself out of this matter. Liu Gao sent news that public opinion in Chengdu had risen, and the Meng family also found that there were people behind it. The discussion in the counties near Chengdu almost drowned out the Meng family, and the Meng family sent people around for this matter, hoping to calm down, but it backfired.
Meng Ji was lying on the bed, seeing that he was terminally ill, and he didn't know if he could survive until the New Year. The medical officer came and went, and all the rhetoric was the same, that is, the need to recuperate. Who knew that Meng Ji couldn't be quiet at this time.
Meng Liu, as the mistress of the Meng family, glared at Meng Bi and said: "If there is anything you need to deal with in the future, don't mention anything to your father, our family, as long as your father is there, no matter what it looks like outside, it is still a big family in Shu, if your father has three long and two short, you can't afford it!" ”
Meng Bi nodded hurriedly: "The child understands, but many things ......"
"I'm in charge today!" Meng Liu said angrily: "You are nineteen now, you should also bear some burdens, you look at that Su Ren is at most seventeen or eighteen years old!" Until your father is healed, you will be in charge of this family! ”
"Mother......!"
"You have something to discuss with your cousin, don't look at me I usually don't care much about your father and son, I still know what you do, I know very well who the people in the backyard are, although your cousin and cousin can't show up, it's still okay to come up with an idea, your cousin of the Hou family still has a lot of subordinates, you have to use it if you can use it, it's a pity that my brother's good Wenshui County Cheng ended up like that."
Meng Liu cried as he spoke. Meng Bi hurriedly knelt down: "Mother take care of her body, the child must bear this burden, and don't let that Su Ren succeed!" ”
The performance of the Meng family suddenly came to a 180-degree turn. Those who were arrested were all released and compensation was paid to the victims. Since then, the Meng family has never made any movement, closed the door, hid at home and lived their own small life, allowing outsiders to talk about it.
Hou Jian and Liu Jun were eating. They did not listen to Liu Tang's advice to go to Huainan Kingdom, but kept hiding under Su Ren's nose. The Meng family and the Liu family are relatives, and Meng Bi's mother is Liu Wen's sister, that is, Liu Jun's aunt. In that year, Monji's wife died young. Liu Tang married his daughter to Meng Ji, and there was no fanfare about it, so not many people knew about it.
Meng Bi pushed the door in, carrying half a jar of wine in his hand: "Come, accompany me for a drink, this shrunken turtle still has to be aggrieved!" ”
Liu Jun hurriedly helped Meng Bi to sit down. Hou Jian, who was on the other side, lowered his head and said nothing, eating one bite at a time and in an orderly manner, without being affected by these two people in the slightest.
Meng Bi "snapped", smashed the wine jar in his hand, and the wine immediately filled the entire courtyard, shook off Liu Jun's hand, and pointed at Hou Jian: "Let you help me come up with an idea, this is your idea?" Now we don't even dare to go out of the house, and if we continue like this, the Meng family will be over! Hehe, it's really a non-person, you were originally Su Ren's defeated generals, what a mistake to ask you for help! ”
"Cousin, you've drunk too much!"
Meng will push Liu Jun away: "You just drank too much, hmph, our Meng family has never been a turtle with a shrunken head, let me show you how I calmed this matter down today!" ”
"Whoa!" Monti had barely taken two steps before he fell to the ground. Liu Jun stepped forward to help, but found that he was already asleep. He sighed and shook his head: "Uncle Hou, can you help me carry my cousin back?" ”
Hou Jian was still eating, and he didn't even look at the brothers: "Let him fall asleep!" Lying on the ground can be sober! ”
Liu Jun was helpless, so he called over two servants, and the three of them carried Meng Bi into the house. Hou Jian glanced at it, sighed, put down his rice bowl, and got up to stand under the tree in the yard. Everywhere, the mountains in the distance loomed, and Hou Jian's eyes were lonely and unwilling.
Hou Si came over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Hou Jian asked, "Did he really go to Dujiangyan?" ”
Hou Si nodded. Hou Jian thought for a long time: "Forget it, it can be used, I'm afraid there are few people who can be trusted." ”
Hou Si didn't speak, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and carried them back to the kitchen. Only Hou Jian was left standing alone in the courtyard.
It's the end of the year soon. The "Taichu Calendar" has not yet been promulgated, and the New Year is more chaotic. Last year's New Year's Festival was in the month of Wax, and this year's New Year's Festival turned out to be the winter moon. Chengdu has become lively, although the affairs of the Meng family are still a topic of discussion on the streets, but there is already a tendency to be diluted by the smell of the New Year. When everyone met each other, they didn't ask much about the recent situation of the Meng family, but turned into a hand, happy New Year.
Meng Ji's illness improved, and he leaned back on the couch, covered with a thick quilt. Hou Jian was invited, and from the mouths of Meng Bi and Meng Liu, Meng Ji knew that it was Hou Jian who was the driving force behind the silent response to this message.
Struggling to get up, Meng Bi hurriedly held on: "Thank you Brother Hou this time, if you hadn't turned the tide, I don't know what Bi'er would have done." ”
Hou Jian didn't speak, just sat quietly. Meng Ji continued: "I can't afford to be sick, there is no way to do many things, I want to ask you to stay and help Bi'er stabilize the current situation, Bi'er is young in the end, has no experience, and is not Su Ren's opponent." ”
"I'm not Su Ren's opponent either!" Hou Jianyi said this sentence.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Meng Ji coughed a series of coughs, scared everyone in a hurry, and after a while, he stopped: "Brother Hou, none of us is Su Ren's opponent, but we are relatives, we are people who sit on the same boat, only everyone can compete with Su Ren in a group, after this time I can see clearly, Su Ren is young, but he has the ability to overlook the whole world, don't talk about me, that is, the entire Shu County is Su Ren's pawn, Su Ren is not in Chengdu, we are already exhausted, if he comes back ......, I dare not think about the rest of the matter." ”
"Brother Hou, just beg you, stay and help me!" Meng Ji struggled to get up, and Hou Jian sat quietly all the time. Meng Bi on the side looked angry and glared at Hou Jian.
