Chapter 602: Bet on Wang Zhen

"Master, Wang Weng asks to see you!"

"Mr. Wang is here, has he said anything?" Hearing the eunuch's announcement, Zhu Qizhen didn't have the usual smile, but frowned slightly.

This is a bit unusual, Meng Yan secretly paid attention, this Zhu Qizhen has always believed in Wang Zhen.

Why did Cao Nai and others recommend themselves to serve as the Qin Messenger at the court meeting this time, and the emperor actually agreed to push the boat down the river.

also gave himself so much power, if he hadn't been left by the emperor to speak, he really wanted to go to the old man to ask for clarification.

"The minions don't dare to ask!"

"Well, please let him in!" Zhu Qizhen immediately furrowed his brows and commanded.

Wang Zhen, who was wearing a big red python robe and a virtuous crown on his head, walked into the south study in three steps and two steps, knelt down and said, "Old slave Wang Zhen knocks to see the master!" ”

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing, calm down!"

"The old slave collided with the master yesterday, and he came to make amends to the master!" Wang Zhen knelt on the ground and did not move.

"Mr. Wang's words are serious, I know that you are good for me, even if the tone is heavier, I can understand." Zhu Qizhen stepped forward to help.

"Thank you for your master's trust in the old slave!" Wang Zhen stood up with Zhu Qizhen's support.

Meng Yan somewhat understood that Wang Zhen, the old Wang Ba, had a conflict with the emperor, and he didn't know what he said, which angered the emperor.

When the emperor was young, Wang Zhen always scolded and taught him as a teacher, but now that the emperor is getting older and has become pro-government, if Wang Zhen uses his previous attitude to teach the emperor again, how can the emperor's self-esteem be bearable?

In general, this Zhu Qizhen has a good temper, and he can make the emperor with a good temper really angry, and this conflict is definitely not small.

It's just that why these two people are in conflict. Meng Yan doesn't know yet.

"The old slave heard that the master appointed the Jinyi Guard Inspector Qianhu Meng Yan to serve as the Qin Messenger at the court meeting to verify the case of the Datong Inspector Tang Qin's suicide?" Wang Zhen asked.

"Yes, I have already ordered the cabinet to draft an order!"

"I wonder if the master can still remember that Lord Meng still has a royal mandate that has not been fulfilled?" Wang Zhendao.

"It's Tang Wei's family, right?"

"Exactly, Lord Meng made a military order in front of his master. Capture Tang Wei's family within ten days, but the ten-day deadline is almost up, where is Tang Wei's family? Wang Zhen asked solemnly.

"This ......"

"Master, the old slave is not prejudiced against Lord Meng, but this is a military order made by Lord Meng himself, and now he has not completed it, if he is entrusted with a heavy task, I am afraid that it will be unconvincing inside and outside!" Wang Zhendao.

Zhu Qizhen was stumped!

Meng Yan issued a military order to arrest the family members of the Qin prisoner Tang Wei within ten days. But now the tenth day is approaching, but Tang Chun's wife Tang Chen and son Tang Baoer have no clues.

If he can't complete the task of the military order on time, how can Meng Yan serve as the minister of the Qincha?

Meng Yan didn't think that the emperor would let him serve as the Qincha to investigate the case, his official position and qualifications were really not qualified.

Now it's been used exceptionally, and it's given the power to cut first and then play, which is the best result. It's much better to be able to investigate the case yourself than to let someone else investigate.

So. The identity of this chaplain is very important to him.

"Wang Weng, when is the official military order?"

"It's been ten days since today!" Wang Zhen said loudly.

"What time is the writ of the government?"

"It should be the end of Shen Shiji."

"What time is it?" Meng Yan asked again.

"The time!"

"So, it's at least four hours until ten days?"

"Yes, Master Meng. Do you think you can arrest the family of the criminal Tang Wei within these four hours? Wang Zhen sneered.

"Isn't the time yet up, maybe Tang Chen's mother and son took the initiative to surrender under the inspiration of the imperial court?" Meng Yan smiled.

"Surrender yourself, Master Meng, the old man didn't hear it wrong. Do you think it's possible? If it weren't for the Emperor's presence, he would have laughed out loud.

I have never heard such a joke in my life, the husband was arrested, committed suicide, and the wife took the initiative to surrender, isn't this sent to death?

Even the emperor felt that what Meng Yan said was a completely impossible thing and completely unreasonable.

"Can Wang Weng dare to bet with his subordinates?" Meng Yan looked at Wang Zhen with a smile.

"Bet?" Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, this kid surnamed Meng is scheming and behaves strangely, can't there be any conspiracy?

"Why, Wang Weng doesn't even have the guts?"

There are really few people who dare to speak to Wang Zhen in such a tone, even those Tianhuang nobles, who are also very polite when they see Wang Zhen, and they have lowered their ranks.

"Bet on it, master, please be a witness!"

Zhu Qizhen was also full of doubts, where did Meng Yan get the confidence to bet with Wang Zhen, there were only four hours left.

If you know where the person is, how can you arrest someone within four hours, but now the bet is "surrendering yourself."

"This Mr. Wang, Meng Aiqing, what are you betting on?"

"Just bet that before Shen Shi, Weichen will be able to arrest the family members of the criminal Tang Chun, or rather, the wife of the criminal Tang Chun will surrender!" Meng Yan Road.

"What about the bets?"

"You know the situation of the household department, Wang Weng, this time the lower official is the case handling officer, and the funds are limited, so if the lower official wins, this time I go to Datong, and all the funds for the lower official to handle the case will be paid by Wang Weng, how about it?" Meng Yan Road.

Wang Zhen also thought that Meng Yan would open his mouth and put forward a bet that embarrassed him, but it turned out that it was just for money, which was not difficult for him, and the Qin Cha plus the accompanying guards were full of two hundred people.

Each person has one tael of silver a day, and it is only two hundred taels a day, and it is impossible to have no time limit to investigate the case, and it will be about the same in two months.

In this way, it is about 12,000 taels of silver.

For him Wang Zhen, this money is just a small amount of money, and he can buy a gadget casually, but it is more than this.

Zhu Qizhen was also stunned when he heard this, he also imagined a lot of situations in his heart, but he didn't expect Meng Yan to use this to bet with Wang Zhen!

Meng Yan is saving money for the household department, although the cost is not large, it is estimated that it is only three or five thousand taels of silver.

But how many courtiers could think so?

"Mr. Wang. If you lose, I will give you this money! Zhu Qizhen didn't realize the trap of Meng Yan's bet, so he actually took a big deal and directly took the bet on himself.

"How can the old slave ask for the master's money, it is nothing more than some silver. Outside the body, the old slave does not lack this. Wang Zhen said busily.

Meng Yan smiled slightly, I'm afraid that you, Wang Zhen, won't agree!

"Master Meng, this gambling old man fought with you!" Wang Zhen said fearlessly, the news he got was that Meng Yan didn't have any clues about the mother and son at all, and now he was mobilizing his subordinates to find them, and within four hours, he wanted to find them. Completely impossible.

"Okay, there is no evidence, how about we set up words as proof?"

"Okay, if you set up a document, you will make a document!"

Ready-made pen, ink, paper, inkstone, Wang Zhen's handwritten handwriting, made a gambling contract, and emperors Zhu Qizhen, Meng Yan and Wang Zhen all signed their names on it.

Meng Yan and Wang Zhen also pressed their handprints respectively.

"Wang Weng, if this bet is won. What about the Chin Cha? Meng Yan put away the gambling contract and asked.

"If Lord Meng wins, it will be in the name of Qincha. Lord Meng lives up to his name. Wang Zhen nodded.

"Well, Holy Lord, you are witnessing for us?"

"Well, Meng Aiqing, I heard it, as long as Aiqing wins the bet. Mr. Wang naturally has no objection to the matter of the Qin mission, right? ”

"What the master said is what the old slave thinks."

"Holy Lord, Weichen is pressed for time, I have to hurry back to find someone!" Meng Yan accepted the gambling contract and treasured it in his arms.

Seeing Meng Yan's action. Wang Zhen's hands couldn't help but tremble, did he promise too quickly just now.

No, there are still four hours, the people in the East Factory have been scattered, and if there is any movement in Jinyiwei, he will receive the news at the first moment.

"Your Excellency is out!"

"Go back to the government immediately and notify everyone to gather in the conference room." Meng Yan came out of the palace, saw Guo Xiaochao waiting, got into the carriage and ordered directly.

"My lord, just now Lord Guo went down to the court and said that you were left by the emperor, and let you go to Nanya after leaving the palace." Guo Xiaochao said.

"Well, okay, let's go to Nanya first!" Meng Yan thought for a moment and commanded.

"Uncle, my lord has been waiting for you in the room, and no one is there." When Meng Yan came to Nanya, he saw Lao Da who was guarding the door of Guo Nu's room.

"What's the matter, Uncle Da?" Meng Yan asked.

"I don't know, the master doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, it should be a matter of the upward direction." Old Dadao.

"Upwards?" Meng Yan muttered, is it because he was appointed by the emperor as a messenger?

"Father-in-law, I'm here!"

"Close the door!"

"Yes!" Meng Yan turned around and closed the door.

"Stone, facing up today, why don't you push away this matter of Qincha?" Guo Nu asked.

"What's wrong, why should I push it off?"

"Don't you know how deep the water is in the Tang Wei case?" Guo asked rhetorically.

"I know that Tang Wei offended Guo Jing, so he was framed as collaborating with the enemy, and his family was ruined!" Meng Yan nodded.

"You know, you also promised the Holy Lord to serve as the investigation officer?"

"Father-in-law, this case itself has something to do with me, even if I don't investigate, the imperial court will send someone to investigate, Aunt Sai has already brought Lord Tang's body back to the capital, and Jinyiwei is also involved, I can't stay out of the matter with no reason!" Meng Yan explained.

"Do you know that Guo Jing is ruthless and reckless, if you deal with him, he will definitely deal with you by any means." Guo said angrily.

"We are enemies!" Meng Yan said coldly.

"I know, when you returned to Daming from the Northern Yuan, he bribed the killer to hunt you down, but if you want to take revenge, you also have to think in the long run, and now this case is very involved, and many people's heads will fall to the ground!" Guo said angrily.

"I take this case, I have to take it, this is the meaning of the saint, unless I resist the decree!" Meng Yan Road.

"What does the Holy Lord?"

"Morning up, the eyes of the saint signaled that I agreed, and I couldn't resist the order." Meng Yan explained.

"Why did the Holy Lord choose you to be the Qin Mission?"

"It may be that the saint thinks that there is no one in this Manchu Dynasty who can meet the candidate in his heart."

"Just you?" (To be continued......) R1292
