Mei Xiaoren looked at Gu Chuyu, even though his expression was calm, his heart that had just calmed down was stirred by Gu Chuyu's words.

She had a guess in her mind, a terrifying guess.

Gu Chuyu also looked at her, and understood in her heart that with her intelligence, how could she not figure out who the person he was referring to. But the truth was a big blow to her, she had known the man years before she had known him, and they had been almost inseparable from each other, and she even treated him as if he were a relative......

How uncomfortable it is to be betrayed by your loved ones.

Gu Chuyu stretched out his hand to cover her face, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, "You can do whatever you want him." ”

"I want to know the evidence." Mei Xiaoren looked at him more seriously than ever.

"I ordered the Ministry of Officials to check, but the Ministry of Officials has no evidence of your purchase of officials, there are no flaws in your reputation and promotion records, and the officials who know about this matter have not publicized it, because once they are investigated, they will not be able to get rid of it." Gu Chuyu said again, "Therefore, the whistleblower already knew that it was just a coincidence that he was in the ministry." ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head, "This doesn't make sense, I met Ye Zhi on the way to office, how can I become an official, how can he know?" ”

"No one knows you earlier than him, and you are in Shangjing, and you have to be trusted by Ji Heng, otherwise Ji Heng will not listen to his words and rashly ask His Majesty when there is no evidence."

Mei Xiaoren turned her eyes to the side, his words were not unreasonable, but the friendship of several years still made her feel lucky.

"Also, he reported to me that you and Xiang Wei Guogong were one after the other, do you know why there was such a turnaround?"

"Because during this period, he happened to know that you and I ......knew each other," Mei Xiaoren replied with a staring eye, she came back to her senses, frowned and asked, "But why did he do this, Lao Ye has no reason to do this." ”

Gu Chuyu took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, "That's the reason." ”

Mei Xiaoren slowly reached out to take it and opened his eyes.

South of the city.

Mei Xiaoren had changed back into his regular clothes, sent away all the subordinates in the courtyard, and waited alone at the stone table, waiting from the tea to the tea to be cold, from the sunset to the bright moon.

In the dead of night, the person she was waiting for finally returned.

Ye Zhi got off the sedan chair and entered the house, and kept looking at the road in front of his feet, his steps were unsteady, and he walked staggeringly.

He carried a small jar of wine in his hand, and as he crossed the threshold, he somehow stopped for a moment, and then slammed it into the ground.

There was a "snap", shattering the silence around them.

Mei Xiaoren was still sitting at the stone table, indifferently looking at Ye Zhi's current actions, and shouted before he raised his eyes: "Old Ye." ”

Ye Zhi raised his head, the irritability on his face had not completely subsided, and his eyes were full of surprise, and he was stunned for a while: "My lord...... Adult, you are not ...... Exiled? ”

"It was Xiangye who saved me."

Ye Zhiyan chuckled lightly twice when he heard this, lowered his head again, and replied casually: "I see, it's really good that adults can escape...... Great......" he dragged out his voice, and added, "I knew that the adults were fine, so I should have invited the adults to drink with us, and we should take a break when we get drunk, so that we can wash the bad luck in the prison for the adults." ”

Ye Zhi's tone became lighter and lighter, so light that she felt strange.

"Do you really think that's a good thing?"

"Of course." Ye Zhi raised his head, his cheeks were red with drunkenness, and he slowly walked to her side and sat down, sighing with a smile, "My lord is kind to Ye Zhi!" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked ahead and asked calmly, "Between you and me, is it En?" ”

"Isn't it?" Ye Zhi smiled again, smiling sarcastically.

"Aside from this, should I say sorry to you?" Mei Xiaoren shook his head again and denied, "No, the weight of these two words is too light, why don't you tell me, how should I pay it back?" ”

Ye Zhi held the stone table with one hand, rubbed the corners of his forehead with the other, and his tone suddenly became extremely cold: "My lord, you can't do it yet!" ”

"So you want me to be ruined, and you want me to pay for your wrongs with my life?" Mei Xiaoren asked with burning words.

Ye Zhi calmly looked up at Mei Xiaoren, "I didn't want you to die, but I can't see you on your feet." He smiled, "My lord, what do you think I should do with you?" ”

"I didn't know my fame ...... before"

Ye Zhi grabbed the words: "Do you know what, will you pity that scholar when they are transferring flowers and trees, and return to him the answer sheet and fame that should have been his?" ”

Mei Xiaoren turned her eyes to look elsewhere, she couldn't answer the question. Everyone has selfishness, she doesn't know whether she will choose righteousness or selfishness when she returns to that time, after all, she has that opportunity, if she can't be an official, she will have to sit in the sedan chair of the Chu family.

Ye Zhi laughed a few more times, and sighed slowly: "My lord, you have a solid family, have you ever thought that your silver could ruin the life of a poor scholar!" ”

The night is as cold as water, and Mei Xiaoren's heart is also cold.

What Gu Chuyu showed her was the confession of the head of the ministry, who said that in order to help her gain fame, they copied Xie Yuan's answer sheet and named her name.

The head of the ministry said that he couldn't remember the name of Xie Yuan, but only remembered that his surname was Ye.

They thought that this matter was seamless, but somehow, the scholar found out about their deeds and once made trouble with the yamen to seek justice. When they saw that he was from a poor family, they ignored him, and later they were annoyed by the trouble, and after teaching him a lesson, they were sentenced to a lifetime ban from the examination as a punishment.

Although she didn't know where Ye Zhi learned about this, what he later knew was not only that his fame was gone, but also that the person who took away his fame and future was her.

Therefore, they met in the middle of the road......

Mei Xiaoren was curious: "You hate me so much, and you have been dormant by my side for several years just to take revenge, so why didn't you give me a knife earlier?" ”

"I said I didn't want your life!" Ye Zhi shouted loudly, "I'll help you, I just want you to rise as soon as possible, fall from the clouds, and taste what it's like to change from a person full of hope and a bright future to a weak person who lives on the street and is bullied!" ”

Mei Xiaoren raised the corners of his lips, "So you went to drink a celebration wine today?" ”

"You know everything now, why don't you kill me quickly?" Ye Zhi looked up at her and laughed.

Mei Xiaoren looked to the side and did not make a sound.

"You are so stupid, should you be merciful when you should be merciful, you escaped this time, but you kept me as a scourge, so you are not afraid that I will continue to take revenge on you?"

Mei Xiaoren stood up and walked towards the door of the mansion, and said coldly as he walked: "One report and one report, you and I are clear, and take good care of your mother in the future." ”

Ye Zhi looked at the figure that gradually disappeared into the night, his eyes were lost, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can I not be stupid......"
