Qinghe Cui Mansion, a small courtyard located in the eastern suburbs of the city, Cui Meng is using the stone pier to train his arm strength, and in the house Xie Sichun is writing letters to Dunhuang Taishou Zhang Jun, Jiuquan, Yumen Taishou Shao Long and Xiliangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Furong, he hopes that these three people can read Yuwentai's kindness to them back then, and can send troops to fight against Gao Huan, at least in the Western Regions to restrain Gao Huan's expansion.

This house is the outer house of the third son of Cui Meng's aunt's family, because the relationship with Cui Meng is very good, plus some property gifts sent by Xie Sichun, so it is temporarily lent to Cui Meng and Xie Sichun to live, but Qinghe has already received the official document to help prevent and arrest Cui Meng, just because the clerk and the governor in this county are all members of the Cui family, fortunately, no one really takes this official document seriously.

The two closed their doors during the day, and only got up at night to move, and lived a life of day and night. Cui Meng didn't care very much, but Xie Sichun couldn't accept it a little, so he said to Cui Meng: "Brother Xian, it's really not okay, let's go into the mountain, live like a mouse here, I really can't adapt to it, let's go into the mountain without fail, wait for three or five years, as long as the wind passes, let's change our name and surname and find a place where no one knows to live the rest of our lives. ”

Cui Mengxin said that you are more guilty than me, naturally you want to escape into the mountains, I am honest, the crime is not big, at most it will be released after two years, and to escape into the mountains To be honest, Cui Meng is really not used to living a life of peace of mind and seclusion in the mountains and villages, and then shook his head and said: "Big brother's words are wrong, we will still hide in Tibet when we enter the mountains, anyway, it is better to be comfortable in this small courtyard if we are guilty." ”

Cui Meng was reluctant to enter the mountain, Xie Sichun had to find his own way, it seems that staying in Qinghe is not a long-term solution, there is still a distance from here to the north outside the Saiwai, but if you walk carefully along the way and turn to the deserted path, maybe you can arrive in Yanzhou quickly, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity to get out of the customs at that time.

Thinking of this, Xie Sichun discussed with Cui Meng very politely: "Brother Xian, what you said is very right, I thought about it, Gao Huan hated me to the core, you and I will be affected sooner or later, it is better for you to help me raise a little entanglement, I will cross the Hainan to Yizhou alone, there is no one to care, I am happy to survive there, you can also live your own small life, don't be afraid." ”

Cui Meng said a little angrily on the side of the stone pier: "Big brother, what are you talking about, we are like brothers and sisters, we have said that we will live and die together and share the glory, but what do you mean by saying this now?" Do you want to abandon my brother? I'm going to be angry if you do that. "How many people has Xie Sichun seen, will he not know Cui Meng's little caution? So Zhengse was moved and said: "Brother Xian, I am really touched by the fact that you can say this, but life as friends does not have to be together, it is a beautiful thing for you and me to cherish each other, don't care about these details." ”

Cui Meng said: "Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, it is not good for me to stop the eldest brother's ambition, I still have some broken silver here and will give it to you, you wait for me to borrow some plates for you, and then send you on the road." Xie Sichun took the broken silver and put it away, and Cui Meng went out to borrow the silver from his relatives. Cui Meng is the most unpromising in the Cui clan, and there is no property in the four walls of the family, so no one in the entire Cui clan is willing to help him.

Cui Meng planned to sneak into the city in the evening, looking for his relative who was the governor of the county government, and it was easy to be at the gate of the city until it was dark, he immediately went into the city along the vine and melon, and came to the door of the governor's house.

The governor didn't dare to receive him in the mansion after learning about it, so he asked the little servant to take him to the firewood room behind the courtyard, and the governor ran over in a hurry and asked very angrily, "What are you doing here, are you trying to kill me?" Your matter is now being investigated by the government, and several of our assassins who are related to you by marriage have been listed as key suspects, and you are now in my house, what do you want to do? ”

The governor looked indignant and couldn't wait to fight with Cui Meng on the spot, he was a person with both the old and the young, Cui Meng sighed and said: "Brother clan, it stands to reason that my crime is more than this, killing people is not enough, if the government catches me, you can rest assured that I will do things alone, and I will definitely not affect you, let alone discredit our Cui family." ”

The governor was too lazy to talk nonsense with him now, and immediately asked: "What are you looking for me, if you have something to say, I'm too busy to delay work with you." Cui Meng sighed and said, "Actually, I don't have anything urgent, I just want to borrow some money from you." "Borrowing money? What do you want to borrow money for? You're going to run away? The governor asked, confused. Cui Meng also said honestly: "It's not that I'm going to run away, it's that a friend of mine has no money to buy rice at home and borrows money from me for emergency." The governor reprimanded in a low voice: "Cui Meng, boy and I don't come to that set, now you yourself are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it is difficult to protect yourself, who will borrow money from you?" ”

He then looked left and right at Cui Meng and asked, "You tell me the truth, did you bring someone back, and he wanted to run away and had no money to borrow money from you?" Cui Mengxin said okay, your kid is worthy of being an errand boy in the yamen, and his brain is smart, but he still didn't admit it: "No, it's that a friend of mine has no money to eat and drink, and his family has an eighty-year-old mother." ”

"Okay, okay, you can tell you as much as you want, and I'll get it for you." The governor just wanted to finish with him early at the moment, and didn't want to talk nonsense, so he asked simply. Cui Meng smiled when he heard this, and stretched out a hand. "Fifty taels?" The governor was a little smacked, this was his two years of silver, don't underestimate fifty taels of silver, this was absolutely no problem in that era to allow a family of three to live for three or five years. Cui Meng said unhappily: "What's too much?" No, I'll find someone else. ”

The governor was half angry with him, gritted his teeth and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you wait." Oh, what kind of sin have I done? As he spoke, he went back to the house to get the money, and Cui Meng was a little impatient to wait for a long time, and then he watched the governor slowly come over, and Cui Meng greeted him and asked, "How about the money?" The governor took out a small bag of silver from his bosom, handed it to him, and said, "It's all here, take a good look at it yourself." Cui Menggang stretched out his hand to take the silver, but the governor withdrew his hand and asked, "Can you think clearly, if you are willing to surrender yourself to the official at this time, and we will arrest you, you will have made meritorious service, and you will be able to live an upright life in the future." ”

The governor said this Cui Meng knew very well in his heart, what he meant was nothing more than that he came out to report and expose Xie Sichun, and after handing it over to the government, the court would definitely treat him lightly, and maybe even reward him, and he didn't have to think about hiding in Tibet like now. Cui Meng also began to mumble in his heart, and the governor took the opportunity to say: "The so-called people are not destroyed for themselves. Now that you have a chance to set things right. ”

Cui Meng snatched the silver bag in his arms without waiting for him to speak, and said, "Our Cui clan is not a villain who betrays his friends and seeks glory, you don't need to say it anymore." He left without looking back. The governor looked at his back, shook his head, sighed, and went back to the house. (To be continued.) )
