Chapter 198: The Gate of the Mansion

can only rely on speculation, Li Meng estimated that it was that news, in early October, when the weather turned cold, the governor really came to order, and together with the military department, Li Meng was asked to pay attention to the defense of Qingzhou Mansion and transfer troops to be stationed. After receiving this order, Li Meng was very happy in his heart, thinking that he was finally going to make a move on Liu Zeqing's side, he had already put 3,000 soldiers and horses at the junction of Qingzhou Mansion and Dongchang and Yanzhou Mansions, and Ma Gang was sitting there, ready to fight at any time, and now he only needs to strengthen his preparations.

But the next news made him cry and laugh, those orders and reprimands that demanded not to disturb the people and train diligently were purely official articles, and he couldn't see the posture of doing it. Moreover, the whole of Shandong, that is, its own soldiers and horses, was required to be mobilized, and the rest were not moved.

After mid-October, Li Meng finally stopped expecting this, and understood that there was no intention of doing anything at all, in fact, Li Meng felt that there was a common sense problem with the brilliant plan.

It is certain that the officers and soldiers and the Chuang army meet and fight to the death, but there must be correspondence between the two sides, and this is the crystallization of many years of political wisdom.

Therefore, such a letter, even if it is as narrow as Emperor Chongzhen, can only be a cup, firstly, the general with soldiers cannot be easily replaced, for fear of stirring up chaos, and secondly, he does know that this matter is the norm, and the statement of the thief family has been said for a long time, if there is no too clear accusation and evidence, it will not be taken seriously. If Wenchen Governor dares to have this kind of letter, then wait for Ling Chi to raid the family and destroy the clan, sometimes it is not necessarily the case with the noble and the martial.

In the face of such a result, Li Meng could only smile bitterly, looking forward to moving the defense, who would have thought that it would be moved from Laizhou to Qingzhou, this is really a joke.

But this is the case, and it can only be done as such. Before the winter, the renovated Li family manor was finally able to move in, and the Sun family, Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo, and Liu Ru are three daughters all moved into this house, if it is more appropriate to use prison. Because at least it won't be possible to be released during this time.

Li Meng's mansion is still the same as before, it is only a hundred steps away from the military camp, and the guards are surrounded outside, he doesn't pay attention to the quality of life, just get by.

Of course, when the Sun family and the three daughters moved in, they thought that it would be a magnificent mansion after the renovation, so they would be more comfortable to live in. Some people have a faint expectation in their hearts, but after moving in, they are a little frightened and frightened when they see the high stone walls, the red-clothed cannons everywhere, the trenches and fortifications in the courtyard, and the fully armored guards. They were just literati women, and they saw such a slaughtering battle there.

But Li Meng lived very comfortably, whether it was modern or ancient, only in this tense and regular military camp life did he feel meaningful. During the renovation in the past few months, the Sun family lived in the Qianhu House on Xuejia Island, and Lingshanwei is now Li Meng's own land, everything is assured, according to the personal guard who observed the Sun family, the Sun family came to report that the Sun family was panicked at the beginning. Slowly, it also became stable.

After all, after Sun Yuanhua's death, the Sun family also lived a semi-hidden life in Songjiang Mansion, and now they are trapped in one place, and there is nothing they are not used to.

The three sons of the Sun family, in addition to Sun Hedou, who answered Li Meng that day, there are also Sun Heding and Sun Hejing, and the three of them are nothing more than comforting the family not to panic, saying that the person who plundered us does not seem to have malicious intentions and so on. The rest is nothing more than the word "eat and sleep".

The Zheng family's skills are really not small, not only the family was taken captive, but the Sun family's furniture, soft books and other things. A few days later, they were all sent together. The three brothers of the Sun family were crying and laughing. On the one hand, there are forces that are more and more afraid of their captors, but Li Meng has strict orders for the subordinates who serve them, not to say a word, and if the other party has any requests, just write them. Someone outside to do it.

As a result, he was imprisoned in the Xuejia Island Guard Center for several months. Except for judging that he might be in Laizhou, Shandong, the Sun family didn't know anything else.

But Li Meng was waiting for him with good food and drink. The books at home are all relocated, and the Sun family is used to it after a month, and they can only accept their fate, after all, at this time, fate is in the hands of others, and they can't help their own family.

According to the reports of those who observed them, Sun Heding and Sun Hejing read the books in their homes every day, most of which were sage classics and poetry notes and other things, and they were idle to teach their children to read and write, but it was the style of the rural scholars, and the only thing that was a little different was Sun Hedou.

According to the results of Master Ning's inspection, most of them are Sun Yuanhua's literature manuscripts, and there are some other books, among which there are quite a few Western texts, which Sun Hedou is excerpted and registered in the room every day.

And also took the initiative to propose to those subordinates, wanting to see the artillery that day, although Li Meng refused, but sent him a Jiaozhou battalion Guo Dong to build a firecracker, according to the subordinate report, said that after Sun Hedou saw it, his always gloomy face showed a rare look of excitement and surprise, after studying for a few days, he actually asked his subordinates a strange question, which made Li Meng stunned, and asked "This place is Middle-earth".

According to the results of his own observations, the person who studied firearms was not able to make sure that it was this Sun Hedou, and after all of them lived in the Li family's manor, Li Meng decided to take the initiative to contact him.

There are a lot of problems with scholars, and their tempers are different from ordinary people, this is Li Meng's feeling, if the other party can work for him, he has to do a few things to do, and he has a polite attitude to be grounded, who makes himself urgently need such talents as the other party.

Under Li Meng's instructions, Mu Yunyao's house was adjacent to Gu Hengbo and Liu Ruyi, which was also his kindness, thinking that the little girl always needed a playmate, and it was also fun for everyone to be together.

Who would have thought that Mu Yunyao didn't appreciate it at all, he ran towards him every day, in the past, the Di Bao and Tang Bao and the documents from all over the country had to be explained every five days, but now they are talking casually, without any delay at all.

At the end of July, news had already come from the newspaper that Wen Tiren, the assistant of the Jingshi Cabinet, took the initiative to resign because of illness, and was approved by the emperor to return with honor.

Li Meng thought it was a normal change, but who would have thought that the wind direction had changed greatly in the past few months, and the government and the opposition scholars had come up one after another, saying that Wen Tiren was in the auxiliary position, forming a party for personal gain, and doing something illegal, which had the meaning of beating the water dogs.

"Looking at the news here, Wen Tiren's side originally wanted to retreat and take the opportunity to do something, who would have thought that whether it was Cao Huachun's side or the Donglin Party's side, they were all accumulating strength for a long time, and took the opportunity to vigorously attack the saint's side, and the saint was a person who did not tolerate sand in his eyes, and immediately approved Wen Tiren's invitation to tell the old man, and now all parties are beating the water dogs!"

Li Meng sat in the study with his chin on his hand, and listened sideways to Mu Yunyao narrating the situation in the court, a large number of current political news from the government and the opposition gathered on Mu Yunyao's side, the girl analyzed and sorted out and then told Li Meng her own opinions, if it is said that at the beginning, Mu Yunyao was just with the help of his ears and eyes in the palace, after this period of exercise, he read a large number of political proclamations, and there were results as confirmation and comparison, Mu Yunyao's analytical ability has become very strong.

Listening to the girl's beautiful voice and methodical analysis, Li Meng sometimes felt that this was a rare enjoyment, after Mu Yunyao finished speaking, Li Meng said to her with a smile:

"Other girls are at your age, it is the age of carefree, and I have worked hard for you on these things every day here."

When Mu Yunyao heard Li Meng say this, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she whispered:

"It's not hard, I think it's fun to watch these every day."

Li Meng smiled and nodded, but suddenly Mu Yunyao had light makeup on her face, and the girl who was already stunning added color after makeup, nodded, and praised it:

"My Yunyao is really a big girl, she knows how to dress herself, and she is really much more beautiful."

You must know that when the girl met Kaifeng City, she had never put on makeup, this is the so-called natural beauty, Li Meng's words are also praises no matter what, but in the girl's ears, it is definitely not the effect that Li Meng expected, Mu Yunyao's face immediately sank, and he didn't speak, he turned around and left.

Right now, in Laizhou Mansion, the person who dares to play a petty temper with Li Meng is the "eldest lady" in the mouth of everyone. Mu Yunyao's reason for putting on makeup is very simple, because she watches Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru put on makeup every day, those two girls are big experts in makeup, and seeing each other after makeup adds a bit of beauty, Mu Yunyao, who has a sense of crisis, has to keep up no matter what she says, and you can't lose the battle.

Li Meng didn't care about the girl's temper, after he listened, he went directly to Sun Hedou's residence, since people came, it was always necessary to bother to envelop him.

When the Sun family moved in, they were told the identity of Li Mengfen as a general in Laizhou, which can be regarded as the mind of these people, being captive by the generals of the government is better than being captured by pirates and thieves, so that these officials and eunuchs can feel at ease, although this peace of mind is unreasonable.

The main family came to the door, Sun Hedou didn't dare to turn him away, he could only welcome him lukewarmly to the door to entertain, after Li Meng sat down, the scene was very cold and embarrassing, Li Meng asked without words:

"Does Mr. Sun know about Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong?"
