The Yaxi Wharf is gradually in sight.

Meng Jin and Meng Qingyun were still chatting in the cabin, and Asakusa, Bauhinia, Xiu'er and others had already packed their things.

When the boat reached the shore, the people began to carry their luggage down.

Meng Jin got out of the cabin and stood on the deck, stretching his body while looking at the river, and casually asked, "Who is here to pick up people?" ”

The subordinate lowered his head and said, "No, no one is coming......"

Well?

Meng Jin looked back at him: "What did you say?" ”

The subordinate had a bitter face: "The eldest lady didn't send anyone." ”

Meng Jin was stunned for a while, and he was so angry that he was happy. This woman is still from a scholar's family, and her style of acting is so petty.

At this time, I saw a group of people on the dock driving two carriages and several large carts, and came in a hurry, all with the logo of the Meng family on the cars.

A middle-aged man stepped on the pedal and got on the boat and went to Mengjin to salute.

"I've seen the second official."

Meng Jin looked at his face and recognized it as a steward in the family, and said with a cold face: "Yo, is this late?" ”

The steward bowed and said, "The second official forgives the sin." The villain thought that the eldest lady had arranged someone to pick up the second official and Yuan Niang, who knows...... Lu Yan and Cui's mother came to remind them, and the villain only knew, so he temporarily set up a car and brought someone to come. ”

Meng Jin's face softened slightly: "You are still loyal." ”

The steward breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he secretly scolded those people for not being knowledgeable, no matter how capable the eldest lady is, she is only a woman, and the two officials are back, can she still do heaven and earth? Besides, the eldest lady is the master, even if the second official can't really treat her, we are all subordinates, doesn't he dare to attack the subordinates?

The gods are fighting, what kind of excitement do mortals make, wait, see how the two officials clean you up.

This steward consciously chose the right position, and he was extremely attentive in front of Meng Jin, quickly called someone to carry the luggage, and served Meng Jin and Meng Qingyun to get off the boat and board the car, running before and after, tired and sweating.

Finally everything was arranged, I asked Meng Jin, wiped the sweat on my head, and shouted "go".

The carriage that Meng Jin sat in was the first one, and the people on the dock gave way one after another, looking at the row of convoys, they all talked about the safe return of the two officials of the Meng family.

"It turns out that the second official is really not dead."

"You just know? Didn't it spread all over the world a few days earlier? ”

"Didn't you see anyone......

"This is a good person and a good reward, I will say that the Meng family will not be so unlucky."

"That's not it, it's a good thing that the second official can return safely."

Mengjin heard the discussion of the people outside in the car, and he was still a little happy in his heart, it seems that in the minds of the people in his hometown, the image is still good.

was a little proud, suddenly the coachman in front of him screamed, followed by a horse's wail, Meng Jin only felt a shock under his buttocks, and then his whole body fell forward, Peng hit the wall of the car, his head hit, and his eyes were in pain.

The steward outside waved his arms in panic and shouted, "Stop!" Stop the car! ”

The row of cars in the back stopped.

He pouted and climbed into the carriage and, together with the coachman, dragged Monzin out with a pull.

Meng Jin covered his head and slowed down, only to realize the terrifying scene in front of him.

I saw that the carriage he was riding in had fallen crookedly, and the horse pulling the cart had fallen on the road, and the blood stains were spreading under him.

The coachman and the steward were all white-faced.

The surrounding people gathered to watch.

"Oh my God!"

"What's going on? What's wrong with this horse? ”

"That's a lot of blood......"

Meng Qingyun in the carriage behind also came down, with a light gauze hat on his head, and walked over quickly under the protection of the maidservants.

"Daddy!"

Meng Jin raised her hand to signal her not to speak yet, and walked over to the horse's head and squatted down.

Zhang Ada, who had been following him like an iron tower, immediately came over and picked up the horse's head. He had a lot of strength, as if it didn't take much effort for such a heavy horse.

I saw a dart that was deeply inserted into the horse's neck, and blood slowly flowed out of the wound, wetting the sleeve of Zhang Ada's coat.

Meng Jin's face was full of seriousness, carefully looked at the location where the dart was inserted, judged the direction of the shot, and then looked up at a restaurant on the side of the road.

Zhang Ada, without waiting for him to speak, put down his horse's head, picked up the crowd, and rushed into the restaurant with a bang.

I just heard that there was chaos in the building.

Meng Jin stood up and said to the steward: "You call someone, go to the county government to report this matter, and ask them to deal with it." ”

The steward responded, and hurriedly arranged for someone to go.

Meng Jin said to the coachman, "Change this car for a horse." ”

The coachman nodded and went to make arrangements.

Meng Jin walked towards the restaurant, and Meng Qingyun followed behind.

The father and daughter entered the restaurant, and the shopkeeper greeted them with a panicked face.

"Second Official......

Meng Jin raised his hand to stop him, not wanting to hear anything he said, and went straight to the second floor.

In a private room on the second floor next to the street, Zhang Ada's eyes widened and he was checking.

Meng Jin and Meng Qingyun came in, and saw that there were still unpacked wine and food on the table, looking at the number of dishes and chopsticks, there should have been two people.

Zhang Adao: "Official, people have already run away." ”

Meng Qingyun said in surprise: "Daddy, did someone deliberately shoot our horse?" ”

Meng Jin nodded, his face frosty.

Asakusa and the other maidservants covered their mouths in surprise.

On the street downstairs, the people also pointed around the carriage.

"Is this a legendary dart?"

"I heard that the masters of the rivers and lakes will do this."

"It's terrible, it's good to kill someone's horse."

"Are you looking for revenge?"

"The second official is an official, what kind of enemies can he have?"

"Maybe someone hates corrupt officials......

"Shut up, you! The famous family of the Meng family usually builds bridges and paves roads, gives porridge and medicines, and is a great good person. Besides, the second official is not an official in our Yaxi, so he won't chase him here if he wants to seek revenge, right? ”

Ordinary people are using their imagination freely.

The owner of the restaurant was desperately trying to clear himself up with Meng Jin: "Two men, one is a younger Lang Jun, who looks like he is in his twenties, and the other is older, but he is afraid that he is thirty or forty years old." They are all tall and big, wearing ordinary clothes, nothing special, except that both of them are wearing hats and can't see their faces clearly. I asked for this private room, ordered wine and food, paid first, and didn't want anyone to serve me...... Erguanren, the villain is really unaware! ”

At this time, the fast class and strong class officials of the county government arrived.

The dignified second official of the Meng family was actually shot dead on the street by the horse who was driving, and this is worth it! As soon as the county government received the news, they immediately sent people.

Some of the officials were assigned to inspect the scene, and the other part went into the restaurant to meet Mengjin.

Meng Jin recounted what had happened.

The official said: "Second official, rest assured, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Monzin nodded.

So the officials found a cart, carried the wounded and dying horses up, and called the owner of the restaurant and the men who had seen the two men, and brought them all back to the county government for questioning; The rest of the men began to search the streets for suspicious people.

All this fell into the eyes of two men on the second floor of another restaurant across the street.

One was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe, with an ordinary face, still inconspicuous in the crowd.

The other is a young man in a black robe, Lang Jun, who has a long figure and a handsome appearance, but his eyebrows are low, and his eyes are relatively deep.

He looked at the chaos on the street, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was undisguised hatred.
