Chapter 266: The young man in white, what a person
Since Li Zheng ordered that the officials of Dali Temple should not punish Mencius, Mencius was transferred to a solitary cell.
The daily food is also much better than before.
Because the minister of Dali Temple didn't know whether the emperor wanted to protect Mencius, he didn't dare to slack off.
His diet improved, and Mencius's complexion improved a lot.
Shangguan Yuanyuan took the token and entered the cell, and it was not very troublesome.
When Mencius heard someone call him, he looked up and saw a young man in white standing outside the cell, and the guards around him had retreated.
Only the young man in white stood there.
The young man had a good face and a clean temperament, and when he looked at him like this, Mencius was a little at a loss.
He didn't know him.
Not a single person has come here to see him these days.
This young man in white is the first.
"Who are you?" Mencius asked.
Shangguan Yuanyuan listened to the hoarse voice, although he saw that the prison clothes on his body at the moment were quite clean, but they must have been the new clothes that Li Zheng changed after giving the order.
But his voice, apparently had been injured before, was hurt, and his vocal cords were still broken.
"I am the one who can save you." Shangguan Yuanyuan didn't reveal much, but only said to the other party: "You can call me Qishao." ”
Mencius didn't speak, just looked at the thin and thin young man in white.
"You must wonder why I want to save you, if I have any other motives. I can confess that I know your brother Meng Ziyu, and I only help you because of him. You don't have to wonder if I'm capable of helping you, because no one has come here to see you but me, have you? ”
As soon as Shangguan Yuanyuan's words came out, sure enough, Mencius hesitated with a face.
"How can you help me? Those ministers have colluded, even my uncle can't, even if I know that I am innocent, but this case, if I want to overturn the case, unless I let those ministers ......" Mencius lowered his head as he spoke, and he stopped.
Shangguan Yuanyuan took his expression into his eyes.
She said lightly: "The reason why those ministers killed you is just because they value the business you operated. ”
Mencius looked at her in surprise: "Who are you?" "Why did you know about the business he was doing?
Shangguan Yuanyuan said: "The business you operate is indeed not glamorous, but I have to say that it has great market prospects, and if it becomes bigger, it will definitely benefit all the people." ”
Shangguan Yuanyuan was also deduced from the plot of Situ Meng's reversal of the case for Mencius in the original book a few years later.
Because not long after the case was overturned, Situ Meng dedicated the transaction that could benefit the people to Li Zheng.
It is a business that can connect the intelligence of various countries, and as long as you spend money, you can buy any intelligence.
And Mencius did this business, at first he didn't expect that it would develop to such a big point that it would even cost him his life.
And the reason why those ministers beat his idea was because the information that these ministers colluded with the enemy was in the hands of Mencius.
The minister was worried that he would be exposed, so he wanted to buy him, but Mencius would not follow.
So, the ministers joined forces to design this play.
"My request is only one, save your life, you can buy and sell your business, let me into individual stocks. The boss is still you, I will put up a name, and I will be red at the end of the year. ”
Shangguan Yuanyuan used such a cold and dusty face to say the words of a philistine.
When Mencius heard this, he coughed, and after a while, he said, "I'm afraid your Excellency won't be able to do my business." ”
