Chapter 742: Brother-in-law

"My lord, take a step to speak." Tang Xiao gave Meng Yan a mysterious look.

"Oh?" Meng Yan can still comprehend this look from his confidants, it must be a very important thing, otherwise he would not be like this.

Now there are no outsiders around him.

"You guys clean up first, and I'll go over there with Tang Xiao." Meng Yan waved at Guo Yue and them.

"Adult ......"

"What about people?" Meng Yan listened to Tang Xiao's advice, and couldn't help but be surprised, Shi Jing, the commander of the horses, was actually hiding in the base of Wild Wolf Valley.

The old man's courage is really big enough, I'm afraid those people in Dongchang can't even think of it.

"Take care of the accounts in the base canteen."

Meng Yan opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, the dignified master of the horse was actually in charge of the accounts in the canteen of such a training base.

No one believed it.

"My lord, don't underestimate Master Ma, after the accounts of our canteen are in his hands, they are in good order, and there has not been a single mistake." Don laughed.

The horses are all carefully selected, and under normal circumstances, the children of high-ranking officials have no chance, which is also to prevent relatives from interfering in politics.

Therefore, as long as you learn well and have an average family background, it is also possible, plus the status of the horse is transcendent, and if you mix well, you will also have a status in the royal family.

Just like Shi Jing, before he was imprisoned by Jinyiwei, he also served as the sect commander of the Imperial Clan's Clan's Mansion, which has a lot of power.

Of course, this power is only for the royal family.

"In the evening, you come over and take me over quietly......" Meng Yan whispered a few words, since Shi Jing was hiding here, naturally he couldn't let people know his identity, and Meng Yan couldn't go to see him in broad daylight.

You can only wait until after dark. Find a chance to get over.

Shi Jing's purpose is to see himself, he can't hide by himself, he should see or have to see, of course, after meeting, what will be the consequences, he doesn't want to think too much about it now.

After eating. The two women had their own endless conversations, and Meng Yan also fell into a leisure, this was the most demure night before he returned to Beijing.

"Brother Xiaochao, go out for a walk with me."

"My lord, do you want to call Tang Xiao?"

"I still can't hide anything from you, let's go, call Tang Xiao, and accompany the official to meet someone." Meng Yan smiled slightly.

To Guo Xiaochao. There are some things that don't need to be hidden, and there's no need to hide them.

This is a small wooden house, although Shi Jing is the captain of the horse, but no one knows his true identity, so there is no special treatment, but Tang Xiao still treats it specially, the reason is that although Shi Jing is a gentleman who takes care of accounts. But the size is also a reader!

Give a little preferential treatment to readers, that's what it should be. I got a small independent single room, and I also had some more wax oil every day.

In this way, Shi Jing returned to his small room after a busy day's work to read under the lamp and pass the time.

There is no worry about eating and drinking here, and the food is even better than in the Horse Mansion, and his job is to take care of the accounts. In fact, it was very relaxing, and then I still had time to drink a little wine and read idle books.

Although he can't run out casually, it's much easier here than the Horse Mansion, at least his words and deeds are not monitored.

In the base. He is free, and no one knows her, when he was a lieutenant of the horses, he was particular about dressing, eating and even sleeping, and now, he can live as much as he likes, as long as he does not violate discipline, no one cares.

Now he wants to go back to the Horse Mansion to live a life of fine clothes and food, and he is a little unhappy.

If he hadn't thought of his two sons from time to time, he would have wanted to stay here for the rest of his life.

"My lord, right here, I arranged a small single room for the master of the horse, saying that it is to take care of the living habits of the readers, and no one doubts it." Tang Xiao led Meng Yan and the others to the back kitchen area.

"Well, you did a good job, you must keep it secret, this matter is not trivial, once the news leaks, we will all lose our heads." Meng Yan sternly admonished.

"Mark it and get it!" Tang Xiao nodded solemnly.

Guo Xiaochao was also a little surprised, Shi Jing, the commander of the horses, was actually hiding in the Wild Wolf Valley Training Base, which was completely dark under the lights!

Who would have thought that the Jinyi Guard would hide people in their lair?

I have to admire Jiang for being old and spicy, this kind of thing, outsiders can't even think of it if they want to break their heads.

"Lao Wang, open the door, it's me." Tang Xiao stepped forward, knocked lightly on the door, and shouted inside.

"It's Director Tang, here!" Shi Jing's voice came from inside, and then there was a sound of the bench moving.

Shi Jing took apart his name and assumed the pseudonym Wang Jing, and Tang Xiao directly called him "Lao Wang".

This title exudes a touch of kindness, and Shi Jing likes it very much, so gradually everyone who knows him in the base calls him "Lao Wang".

As soon as Shi Jing opened the door, the first thing he saw was not Tang Xiao, but Meng Yan, he was startled, and suddenly became excited: "Tang, Director Tang is here, hurry, come into the house." ”

He didn't call out Meng Yan's name, and he knew that before the mystery was revealed, caution was a must.

"Lao Wang, I won't go in, I'll have to patrol the night in a while, the adults are specially coming to see you, you go in and talk." Tang Xiao knew that there were some things that he was not qualified to mix in now.

"Well, you go, call the official when you patrol the night in a while." Meng Yan nodded.

"Yes, sir!"

"Brother Xiaochao, you stay outside, I have something to say to Lao Wang." Meng Yan instructed Guo Xiaochao.

"Don't worry, sir." Guo Xiaochao agreed.

"Master Pony, I've wronged you." Meng Yan closed the door and solemnly bowed to Shi Jing.

"Master Meng, don't be like this, Shi Jing can't stand it!" How could Shi Jing not know Meng Yan's true identity.

According to the rules, it was he who saluted Meng Yan.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a bed, a straw mat, a layer of cotton wool on the straw mat, and a quilt with blue printed canvas, which is folded neatly and placed at one end.

A square table with an oil lamp in the center and several ledgers on the right-hand side.

Inkstone, pen and ink, a very simple office environment.

There is also a briquette stove for boiling water, which is standard at the base, and an iron stove on top. I'm boiling water.

"Lord Meng, please take a seat, I don't have anyone here, not even a decent chair." Shi Jing smiled, he was alone, and a stool was enough. The room is not big, so I can't afford to buy some superfluous things that I can't use.

The dignified master boils water, washes clothes, brushes his teeth and washes his face, and changes his face, which is something that can't be believed.

But that's what he really is, and he's happy to do it.

"Master Pony, are you still used to it here?"

"Habit, habit. It's much better than the Horse Mansion, free, comfortable, hungry to eat, thirsty to drink tea, and people to play chess, fishing, and the Horse Mansion. I couldn't do anything, and I was surrounded by a bunch of eunuchs and palace maids all day long. There's no privacy at all, nothing goes well. Shi Jing said.

"But the environment here is not as good as the Horse Mansion, no one has served you yet, and you still have to do everything by yourself, don't you feel lost?"

"Lost, what's lost. In the Horse Mansion, you have to think for a long time to say a word, if you say it wrong, the prison is light, can you compare it to the comfort here? ”

"You really don't want to go back?"

"I don't want to. I won't go back, it's good here, everyone doesn't know my true identity, they all affectionately call me Lao Wang, those people in the Horse Mansion are called by the Horse Master, in fact, they are not sure to put it in their eyes at all, where is the sincerity of the people here. ”

"Okay, Master Horse, since you don't want to leave, no one can force you to leave, you can stay as long as you want!"

"Really?"

"Don't you believe what I said?"

"I believe it, I don't believe in other people's words, but I believe your words." Shi Jing nodded.

"Master Pony, let's stop gossiping, it's time to get down to business." Meng Yan Road.

As soon as he got down to business, Shi Jing's eyes became solemn and deep, he stood up, walked to the bedside, removed the quilt, lifted one corner of the straw mat, and took out a gray cloth bag from underneath.

Turning back, he came to Meng Yan and handed over the cloth bag: "Lord Meng, this is what the princess quietly handed me before she died, I will give it to you now, this is the only relic she left you." ”

Although he is not the same Meng Yan, his eyes are still red at this moment, how to say, this is also what her relatives in this world left to herself.

Meng Yan stretched out his hand to take it, he didn't open it immediately to see what was inside, but put it away first and put it in his arms.

"Master Meng, don't you open it and take a look at what's inside?" Shi Jing was a little surprised by Meng Yan's actions, aren't normal people like this?

"I don't want to know what's in there right now." Meng Yan said frankly.

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that if I know, I'll have some thoughts that I shouldn't have, and that's fine now, isn't it?"

"Master Meng, don't you want to know your true background?" Shi Jing was surprised, he didn't expect Meng Yan's reaction to be so bland.

"I know, but what's the point?" Meng Yan asked calmly.

"yes, what's the point?" Shi Jing took a step back suddenly, his eyes were a little wandering, I know, what's the point?

This qiē has become a foregone conclusion, even if the life experience is announced, is it possible to go back to the past?

"Do you just accept your fate?" Shi Jing said, "Do you know how the first emperor died?" ”

"What do you mean?" Meng Yan's face changed.

"Emperor Daxing actually knew about your existence for a long time, and secretly investigated the matter, and that vicious woman secretly put a chronic poison in her diet in order to succeed her son."

"Master Pony, you can't talk nonsense about these things!" Meng Yan was stunned, this was simply terrifying.

Emperor Xuanzong's death is indeed vague in the history books, Xuanzong was very young when he died, only 38 years old, said to be infected with an unknown disease, what kind of disease it was, but there is no detailed record.

Xuanzong was critically ill, and most of the government was dealt with by Sanyang, and reported to the Empress Dowager, that is, Empress Zhang.

At that time, although the queen was the queen and was named the lord of the six palaces, she did not have half the power to intervene in the government.

Xuanzong is lustful, and he is fun to fight crickets, and the folk have the title of the son of cricket, and the wine is too hollowed out of the body, so that he died of a violent illness, which is not impossible.

But what Shi Jing said is another possibility, the person who can drug the emperor must be someone close to him in the palace.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the court of the late Ming Dynasty, Ming Shizong, that is, Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by the palace maid Yang Jinhua and others, and the three strange cases of the late Ming Dynasty "Red Pill Case", Emperor Taichang ate the so-called elixir of immortals entering the palace and died violently, and the murderer was Emperor Wanli's favorite Zheng Guifei.

Is this possible?

can't deny it, but it can't be affirmed either, Meng Yan's heart was in a mess for a while, and he had no clue. (To be continued......)
