Chapter 305: A gentleman's revenge is not too late
"Son, Tang Xiao is back!"
"Let him in!"
"My lord, this is all the information of the old store in Donglai, you can take a look." Tang Xiao took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it over.
"Where did it come from?" Meng Yanxin said, this speed is fast enough, so I can inquire clearly in such a little time.
"My lord, I sent it from the Public Opinion Division." Tang Xiao bowed his head embarrassedly.
"I said it!"
The investigation of the Public Opinion Department is naturally very detailed, from the owner of the old shop in Donglai to the guys, there are introductions one by one, and a topographic map is attached, except for Dong Qianli's study and bedroom, other places are marked.
"My lord, this Dong Qianli wants to see you?" Tang Xiao leaned into Meng Yan's ear and whispered.
"Oh, how did he know?"
"My lord, although Dong Qianli is not a big person, he can be regarded as a hand-eyed figure in the capital, and the Public Opinion Department also has some contacts with Dong Qianli, so what the judge means is that you had better meet this Boss Dong!" Don laughed.
"Well, since it's what Uncle Sai meant, then I'll see you, and you can arrange it, and it's at your monitoring point." Meng Yan commanded.
"My lord, isn't this a lawsuit against him, and we are spying on him?"
"A smart person has his own smart ideas, if he is not smart, then don't blame me for not giving Uncle Sai face!" Meng Yan said coldly.
"Got it!" Tang Xiao nodded.
"Go ahead, do things carefully, tonight, I want revenge!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Meng Yan's eyes, daring to kill his own home. Then don't blame yourself for being too ruthless.
"Whoa!"
"Son, Zhang San is here!"
"This kid, I haven't seen him in a while, let him in!" Meng Yan smiled and raised his hand to command.
"Zhang San has given you a New Year's greeting, I wish you good luck and prosperity!" Zhang San, wearing a certain dogskin hat on his head and a half-old leather jacket, came in with his hands together, and knelt down and kowtowed to Meng Yan as soon as his legs were bent.
"Alright, get up. I'm not interested in kowtowing here. Meng Yan sprinkled slightly. Shen Cong, give a red envelope! ”
"Thank you, Master for rewarding!" Zhang San'er got up and happily took a red envelope from Shen Cong's hand.
"Master Meng, can you enjoy a sip of tea and drink it?"
"You kid. Kicked your nose in the face? Meng Yan glanced at him. To people like Zhang San. It is necessary to use the policy of turnips and sticks, otherwise this kind of person will not be able to be used.
"Thank you." Zhang San'er smiled hippiely, he also knew. If Meng Yan was really angry, he would never pay attention to him, and directly kicked him into the yard.
"Okay, don't be a good person, just tell me if you have any news?"
"The villain inquired, Wang Shan held a banquet in his house tonight, and invited the children of eunuchs and some powerful children in the capital." Zhang San'er said.
"Wang Shan has a treat, what does this have to do with me?"
"You are now involved with Dongchang, these people get together, they must be discussing against you, so you pay attention, these people are all bad water in the stomach, and if they can't keep it, they will fall into their way." Zhang San'er said.
Meng Yan condensed slightly, this wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Zhang San'er's words are not unreasonable, he really has to guard against it.
These people are villains, and there has been a reason since ancient times that villains are difficult to prevent.
"Zhang San'er, I'll give you something to do, if you do it well, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you." Meng Yan thought for a moment and said.
"You say, you say!"
"I want to know that those people went to the wine banquet in Wangshan, and what they said at the wine banquet, especially for me, can you do it?" Meng Yan Road.
"This is not difficult, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, as long as there is silver, everything can be done." Zhang San'er said.
"Money is not an issue, but what I want is accurate information, not some nonsense such as Fengyue!" Meng Yan Road.
"Don't worry, master, Zhang San'er will do things, and he will be able to handle it!" Zhang San'er patted his chest and promised.
"Well, let's go find Mr. Cai and get the silver!" Meng Yan nodded.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang San'er went down happily.
"Son, this kind of villain in the market is simply insatiable and untrustworthy!" Lin Tianxing said disdainfully at Zhang San'er's back.
"The villain has the usefulness of the villain, Tianxing, you can't just rely on your own preferences, then you will suffer, how many heroes have been planted in the villain since ancient times?" Meng Yan Road.
"Yes, Childe!"
Meng Yan knew that Lin Tianxing might not be able to listen to his words, and he couldn't force others to change himself, not to mention that people have their own flaws, isn't a saint perfect?
"My lord, the list of the Holy Heaven's feasts has come down, no you!"
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm really afraid of me, so the time tonight is not free." Meng Yan smiled and said, according to the rules, on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor will give a banquet in the palace to entertain ministers and foreign envoys.
This is the legendary state banquet, of course, the state banquet is not just a cat or dog can participate.
This is the emperor's treat, representing a kind of identity, a kind of glory.
Under normal circumstances, at least the officials of the fourth rank in Beijing are eligible to be on the list, of course, there are some special ones, such as some meritorious relatives.
In addition to the emperor's banquet, the queen will also give a banquet in the palace, and invite the wife, that is, the wife of the king's minister, and occasionally invite some talented women to accompany her.
"The queen invited Miss Yu to the palace for a banquet."
"Yu Xin?"
"Yes, I saw Miss Yu and Lord Yu ride to the palace for a banquet with my own eyes!"
"Isn't your husband a little unwilling?" Wen Xiaoyu walked in from outside the door with a smile.
"How can I have that kung fu, by the way, I have something to do at night, I don't eat at home, you can eat by yourself." Meng Yan commanded, and walked outside while raising his feet.
"Where are you going this big night?" Wen Xiaoyu asked puzzled.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge, revenge. Will you take me with you? Wen Xiaoyu caught up, she didn't want to be a good daughter-in-law at home.
"What are you doing here, there may be a fierce battle tonight, what if it hurts you, go back quickly, accompany your father to dinner, the old man should accompany him more." Meng Yan Road.
"He doesn't need me to accompany him, with Mr. Cai playing chess with him, he can't eat without eating!" Wen Xiaoyu refused to go back.
"You really don't want to go back?"
"No return!"
"Then I'm going to spank you, don't push me!" Meng Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"You hit. You fight. As long as you're not ashamed. ”
"Confucius said well, only women and villains are difficult to raise!" Meng Yan was a little helpless.
If this woman is a fool, the man really has no problem, of course. I score an object, too. This is a woman of her own. If he didn't have this relationship, he would really be able to do it.
"I sue you, you don't fight for three days. Go to the house and uncover the tiles, wait, come back and clean you up! Meng Yan pointed to Wen Xiaoyu's nose and said.
"And how do you want to clean me up?" Wen Xiaoyu didn't look scared at all, but leaned over, like a lando.
For no reason, an evil fire rushed up, and this woman couldn't stop for a while?
"Wait!"
Meng Yan jumped into the carriage, Wen Xiaoyu showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and he also got in, and did not hesitate to drill into the man's arms.
"Childe, it's here!"
"Hmm!" Meng Yan didn't sleep that night, and finally took a nap in the carriage for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he arrived at his destination.
"Daen, the shopkeeper Dong has arrived, just upstairs." Tang Xiao greeted him from inside.
"Don't worry, is there hot water, I'll wash my face first." Meng Yan asked.
"Yes, yes!"
Meng Yan washed his face, and under the leadership of Tang Xiao, he went upstairs.
"Your Excellency, please!" Tang Xiao stepped forward and pushed the door open.
"Grass Folk Dong Qianli has seen the inspector Master Meng!" A forty-year-old man, not tall, in his early five feet, with a leather coat and linen shoes, and a simple face.
"You are Dong Qianli, and you opened the old store in Donglai?" Meng Yan asked.
"Yes, it's the grass people's livelihood." Dong Qianli said with a humble attitude.
"How many years?"
"This is the sixth year."
"How's business?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Say, what do you want to see me?" Meng Yan asked.
"The grass people are entrusted by people and want to ask Lord Meng to raise his noble hand." Dong Qianli lowered his head and said cautiously.
"Coming to be a lobbyist?" Meng Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Dong Qianli would come to be a lobbyist for the Demon King Kong.
"Yes!" Dong Qianli did not deny it.
"What kind of sin is it to attack the Mansion of the Commander at the foot of the Son of Heaven?" Meng Yan asked coldly, "You don't know, or the person who asked you to come doesn't know?" ”
"I know, they didn't figure out the situation for a while, that's why they ......" Dong Qianli smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the fact that he had a lot of transactions with Black Tiger Mountain every year, he really didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
The battle between Jinyiwei and Dongchang was something that he could mix with a small common man, and Qiu Tiangang, this kid, was open-minded when he saw the money, so he let the people of Dongchang sell it.
"This reason is ridiculous, when the official is a three-year-old child?" Meng Yan sneered, "If it weren't for my subordinates fighting to the death, I'm afraid this official would have to hold a funeral at home?" ”
"Master Meng, the grass people are just a messenger, if you have any requests, as long as they can agree, there is no problem." Dong Qianli said.
Meng Yan stared at this Dong Qianli, his mind was spinning rapidly, if he had to arrest people in the old Donglai shop, there was a saying whether he could catch the magic King Kong, but this Donglai old store must have suffered.
"Shopkeeper Dong, did this lobbyist ask you to come here?"
"Lord Meng's eyes are like torches, and Demon King Kong has a short temperament, how could he let me be a lobbyist, I came by myself!" Dong Qianli arrived.
"Shopkeeper Dong, this official knows your thoughts, if I do it in Donglai Old Store, your five-year hard work will be completely gone, you feel distressed, right?"
"What Master Meng said is not bad at all, the grass people are exactly this idea."
"Since everyone has said it, this official is not the kind of person who cuts off people's money, as long as the shopkeeper Dong hands over the person of the Demon King Kong to me, this official will not have happened, how about it?" Meng Yan said.
"Lord Meng, isn't this embarrassing for the grass people?"
"I'm embarrassed, Demon King Kong led people to attack the official mansion, you don't know, right?" Meng Yan asked.
"The grass people know, and the grass people sent someone to quietly inform Jinyiwei." Dong Qianli said.
"So, in this matter, the official still accepts a favor from you?"
"Don't dare, I'm a businessman, I don't dare to mix in official things, so I ......"
"However, now that you have been involved, the Demon King Kong failed to attack the official mansion, and the Jinyi Guard got the news in advance, Dongchang and the Demon King Kong will definitely suspect that someone has reported the news, and the suspicion of the shopkeeper Dong is not small!"
Dong Qianli raised his head slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"If I let the people in Dongchang know that you came to see me quietly, what would you do to you?" Meng Yan glanced at Dong Qianli and asked rhetorically.
"Can't Lord Meng leave the grass people a way to live?" Dong Qianli's eyes flashed and he said helplessly.
"The road is your own choice, and it's up to you how you go." Meng Yan said, "Whether to be a friend or an enemy is all in the mind of the shopkeeper Dong." ”
"Can Master Meng guarantee the safety of my family?" Dong Qianli asked.
"You can rest assured that there is no problem for Jinyiwei to protect a few people, and the East Factory is not covering the sky with one hand!" Meng Yan nodded.
"The grass people can give the Demon King Kong to the adults, but the adults have to promise me one condition." Dong Qianli said.
"Say!"
"Don't kill King Kong!" Dong Qianli said solemnly.
"Why, give me a reason?" Meng Yan asked.
"This secret, I can only tell Lord Meng that you are alone!" Dong Qianli glanced at Tang Xiao and Lin Tianxing.
"Stay out of the way!" (To be continued......)
