11. Who benefits?

At night, lanterns were lit up everywhere in the Mongolian Mansion, and the huge mansion was lit up everywhere.

This is also the old lady's request for decades, she can't see the dark, and the house must be bright all night. Therefore, the words "extravagant style" said by Luyun are really accurate.

Although the lights are bright, the atmosphere of Rakujudo is very heavy.

When the old lady received the news during the day, she fainted once, she was really dizzy, her son!

Everyone mentioned before that there was a rebellion on Jingdong East Road, and I don't know if it would delay the trip to Mengjin, but at that time, it was just a little routine worry, and any rebellion and murder were very far away. Who would have thought that all of a sudden, the bad news would explode overhead like thunder.

The letter from the county government came to the newspaper, saying that the second official Mengjin was on the way back to his hometown, encountered a riot of displaced people, gathered into an army to attack Yishui County, a battle of thousands of people, moved swords and guns, and the county was killed.

Jingdong East Road, a magistrate from Bapin died at the hands of a mob, and the governor of Laizhou, who was just worried, was coerced and disappeared, which is definitely a big case that reaches Tianting. The local officials did not dare to cover it, and on the one hand, they reported it layer by layer, and on the other hand, they also sent people to Dongyang County to deliver the letter. After receiving the letter, the Dongyang County Ya was shocked on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also hurriedly notified the Mongolian government.

At this moment, the old lady was lying on the bed in the inner room and sighed. In the outer hall, Bai Rongxin and the eldest lady Lu sat down and discussed countermeasures, Meng Zhi, Meng Qingyun, Meng Huiyun and Meng Zhi's wife Wang Ziwei were all sitting down.

Lu Shi said: "I have been appeased by the head of the family, and everyone is not allowed to talk about this matter." At the same time, he has asked Da Lang to repair the book, and sent someone to Beijing overnight to report to my family's senior officials; It is also asked to take the name of the big official, and go to the relatives and friends of all parts of Jingdong East Road to entrust it, be sure to ask everyone to help, and make every effort to find people. It's just that I heard that the scale of this rebellion is unprecedented, and it has to be frightening. ”

Meng Zhi and Meng Huiyun turned their heads to look at Meng Qingyun, who lowered his head and buried his face in the shadows. The brother and sister looked at each other and felt that she was very pitiful, her mother had just died, and her father had suffered a great disaster.

Bai Rongxin said: "As long as there is no bad news for a day, we can't scare ourselves." When my father first saw my brother-in-law, he concluded that he was blessed and would not die young. Yuan Niang, don't worry too much, everything is there with the elders. ”

Meng Qingyun looked up at him and nodded gratefully.

Bai Rongxin said again: "My consideration, the rebellion is nothing more than for a livelihood, the armament of Jingdong East Road has always been strictly organized, and it must be suppressed soon." Since the brother-in-law is worried, he is not an incumbent official, and he is a passerby, and he has no grievances with the rebels, and he also has his entourage by his side, so he may not be worried about his life. The eldest lady's approach has been calculated, our Bai family's business is all over the seven roads and eighteen states, and there are semicolons in Qizhou, Laizhou, and Yizhou on Jingdong Road, and I will immediately assign people to convey them, and raise the power of the Bai family, I don't believe that I can't find anyone! ”

His voice was loud and full of energy, and he was categorical, which injected a lot of confidence into everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall cheered up for a while.

Lu thanked Bai Rongxin for a while, and then changed his words and said: "It's just that then again, the second official doesn't know when there will be news, and the second lady needs to speak for the funeral." ”

Bai Rongxin thought for a moment and said: "Now that the weather is getting hotter, naturally we can't stop for too long, what are the rules of your mansion?" ”

Lu said: "In our house, the spirit is mourned for seven days. ”

Bai Rongxin patted the table lightly and said, "Then act according to the rules of the house." ”

Of course, according to common sense, he will at least send the Bai family out of the funeral before returning to She County.

After everyone discussed the aftermath of the Bai family, and discussed the matter of Mengjin for a while, Bai Rongxin's style of speech was heroic, and everyone was appeased, seeing that it was late at night, it was not good to delay the old lady's rest, so they all dispersed.

The Bai family had already ordered someone to arrange the guest room, and Meng Zhi personally led Bai Rongxin over.

and the others went to their own houses.

In the Huanhua Pavilion, after the master and servant finished washing, it was already the time of the intersection of the time and the son.

There was a primrose-colored gauze tent hanging on the stepping bed in the inner room, and Meng Qingyun was dressed in a water-green bedclothes, lying on his side on a pillow, with the long hair of a crow scattered. Asakusa slept on a shelf bed not far away.

Asakusa and Xiu'er are the maidservants who have always followed her, and they have always been their companions, and although Luyun and Bauhinia also serve her now, this kind of close-fitting work is still done by Asakusa and Xiu'er.

The night was getting deeper, and there was a sparse chirping of insects in the grass.

Asakusa breathes lightly and evenly, as if she has fallen asleep; Meng Qingyun tossed and turned, and it was always difficult to sleep.

The disappearance of her father Mengjin by the chaos always made her feel that something was wrong. Everyone's reaction to this incident was unexpected and reasonable. In such a catastrophe as the rebellion of the people and the attack on the county seat, it is inevitable that innocent people will be affected, and Mengjin is one of the victims.

But what does it seem like there's a problem?

She was a little irritable, and the movement of turning over was a little louder, and the bed board sounded softly. Asakusa heard it in his sleep, and said in a daze, "Yuan Niang hasn't slept yet."

She hummed and said casually, "I'm a little thirsty." ”

There was a stumbling outside the tent for a while, and I dimly saw Asakusa get up and pour a glass of water. She simply sat up and drank half a glass of the other's hand.

Before leaving, Asakusa instructed: "Go to bed early, Ming'er has to go to the mourning hall again." ”

This sentence inadvertently hit the nail on the head, and Meng Qingyun's brain thundered violently, and he didn't know how he fell back onto the pillow. The night was dark, and Asakusa didn't notice it, so he put down the teacup and went back to sleep.

Yes, if you can't figure it out and deduce from the results backwards, there are quite some clues.

Who does the disappearance of my father have? Naturally, everyone in the family has it. For the old lady, if something happens to her son, she must be sad and anxious; For the long house, it is also necessary to worry; For Meng Qingyun, it's not just an emotional impact.

If something really happened to her father, she would have gone from having just lost her mother to an orphan girl whose parents had died.

As the daughter of the Meng family, she naturally still has the blessing of the family, but in this family, she has completely lost her dependence, and all diets, daily life, weddings, funerals, and weddings will depend on others.

Whose snort is Yang? Of course, it's the eldest lady Lu.

Going back to the previous words, "A girl, her father is far away, her mother is gone, birth, old age, sickness and death, not all in the palm of my hand" is not flawless?

If this speculation is boldly pushed forward, will the fact that my father was coerced by the chaotic people not be an accident, but artificial? If it was man-made, who did it? There is a principle in the reasoning of the case, whoever gains is the murderer. Who will benefit? The eldest lady Lu family, if Meng Qingyun really falls into the situation of her parents dying, the huge wealth left by her mother Bai will inevitably fall into the hands of the Lu family!
