Chapter 304: Flickering
"Prince, when can we go back?"
Xie Meng bent down slightly, staring at Qi Changrong who was stroking the qin without blinking, his eyes stayed on the slender white hand on the qin for a moment, and then left quickly.
Odd.
How could she feel that the prince's hand was more tender than hers?
If you don't look at your face, you don't know the identity of the two, and you only look at your hands, you are like a big man with your feet, and the prince is more like a delicate little girl.
Xie Meng muttered two sentences in his heart, and quickly turned his attention back.
All she cares about now is when she will return to Beijing.
"What's the hurry, I'll go back when I get the book." Qi Changrong's tone was light, and he didn't even give Xie Meng the corner of his eye, still tuning the strings by himself.
Then, with a slight hook of the fingertips, the sound of 'Zheng' was exciting.
Xie Mengdao asked again: "Then when will I get the book of peace?" ”
"At least after cleaning up the Ma family."
"Okay!" Xie Mengmeng didn't want to respond, and asked again: "What do you want me to do?" ”
Seeing Xie Meng's easy agreement, Shi Xia opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and his eyes turned around between the two in astonishment.
When did Xie Meng speak so well?
Didn't she say that she would never participate in the dirty things caused by His Highness?
Why did you change your mind so quickly?
Without waiting for Shi Xia to come up with a reason, Qi Changrong slowly explained the plan, which was easy to understand, making Xie Meng, who had no city in his chest and even some nerves, sort out his thoughts very quickly.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, isn't it just a fox and a fake tiger, who wouldn't do this?" I'll go! ”
……
In the middle of the night, when the watchman passed outside the mansion for the second time, Ma Zemin, who was sitting in the dark room, could no longer help but be full of fear, and almost began to tremble, his pale face, beads of sweat the size of beans slowly dripped from his forehead, and even his breathing stopped instantly.
Xie Meng, who was sitting opposite him, was at a loss, he didn't know what this person had thought, and he was scared of himself like this.
However, all of his expressions were hidden under a black veil, and the dim light of the dark room obscured all possible avenues for secrets.
Only her two eyes were like substance, staring at Ma Zemin through the veil.
After the veil, Xie Meng did not speak easily.
In such a silent and dignified environment, Ma Zemin was frightened.
Just when he couldn't sit still and was about to speak, Xie Meng seemed to have just discovered his fear, and said lightly: "What are you afraid of?" The one who comes is a guest, and I won't kill you tonight. ”
If Ma Zemin could still endure it still, but as soon as these words came out, when he heard the word 'kill', his face changed drastically, and his face was full of panic and fear.
He noticed that the woman was saying that she would not kill tonight, not that she would not kill later.
In other words, his life is still not guaranteed.
Suddenly, Ma Zemin clenched his fists tightly and said reluctantly: "Since Your Excellency promised me to talk face-to-face, why should you bring a veil to hide your identity?" ”
"It's not what I want to see you." Behind the veil, Xie Meng rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "I am just entrusted by others, and I am loyal to others." ”
Ma Zemin's face became more and more ugly, and his trimmed flat nails sank into the flesh, but he didn't feel the pain: "What does Your Excellency mean?" ”
Recalling Qi Changrong's instructions, Xie Meng continued: "It means that after seeing you, what should happen or what will happen in the future will not change in any way because of tonight's meeting." ”
Even if he had expected it in his heart, when he heard this, Ma Zemin's mind was still uncontrollably blank for a moment.
He couldn't imagine that when the person in front of him tried his best to start dealing with the Ma family, would the Ma family survive?
He knew that the chances of survival were slim, almost none.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ma's earnest gaze flashed in his mind, Ma Zemin swallowed the fear in his heart, exhaled deeply, and said: "What does Your Excellency want, it is better to say it directly, maybe the two of us can take what we need and turn hostility into friendship." ”
The so-called turning hostility into jade silk is to let the other party let them go in large quantities.
Hearing this, Xie Meng tilted his head suspiciously: "After uprooting you, what else is there in the Ma family that I can't get?" Why do you need to take the initiative to give? ”
"Your Excellency......" Ma Zemin paused, trying to remember what the vest could covet.
I thought about it, but I couldn't think of anything.
In Cheng'an, where the powerful are like clouds, the Ma family is really not ranked.
After thinking about it, Ma Zemin wanted to convince her, and did not hesitate to make it up: "There are some things that you may not get even if you eradicate the Ma family." ”
Xie Mengyi said happily: "I have no interest in money. ”
"And what do you want?"
Xie Meng yawned sleepily, and continued to ask lazily: "What I want, you can give it with both hands willingly?" ”
"As long as Your Excellency is no longer looking for the Ma family's stubble, the Ma family is willing to do their best to go to the soup for you."
After a brief temptation, Xie Meng felt that the time was almost up, so he cut the topic to the topic.
"To be honest, it's not the Ma family that interests me, but the eldest prince Yan Zheng."
Hearing the words 'Great Prince', Ma Zemin's heart tightened uncontrollably, and then slowly returned to normal, and quietly probed: "Your Excellency is interested in the Great Prince, what does it matter to our Ma family?" ”
As he spoke, his expression tried to show his doubts, but in fact, he was shocked in his heart.
After all, only a very few people know about the Ma family's dedication to the eldest prince.
How could the person in front of him know?
Xie Meng smiled, and his smile was full of disdain.
She said, "If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." As the minions of the eldest prince, shouldn't the Ma family have prepared for this day earlier? ”
Hearing this, Ma Zemin found it in despair.
The old bottom of the Ma family has long been lifted.
He no longer intended to hide it, but asked directly: "Is there a festival between Your Excellency and the Great Prince?" ”
"Yes." Xie Meng nodded reasonably: "If there is no festival, why should I bother to deal with him?" You know, he's the culprit who ruined my family...... How can I allow him to stand in front of the eyes of the world with infinite scenery? ”
In the end, Xie Meng's voice crossed a gloomy coldness, which made people feel creepy when they heard it.
At the same time, the sadness in her eyes did not seem to be fake, and the pain carved into the bone marrow gradually overflowed with her words.
At this moment, she thought of the Xie family, who was implicated and defeated.
Under imperial power, too many things are insignificant.
After hearing Xie Meng's explanation, Ma Zemin chose to believe it without any scruples.
In the past few years, as the Ma family has done more for the eldest prince, the more they can understand the inside story of the eldest prince's mansion.
That man will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
Over the years, Yan Zheng has persecuted many innocent people.
And they are accomplices.
Thinking of this, Ma Zemin felt uncomfortable: "So, Your Excellency is doing everything possible to deal with my family, just to reduce the power of the Great Prince?" ”
"You can say the same thing." Xie Meng nodded, but at the end he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "But it's a pity, in the eyes of the eldest prince, you are already his abandoned son, even if I uproot you, it won't be of much benefit." ”
With that, Xie Meng sighed.
Since it has been discarded, what is the difference between active abandonment and passive abandonment?
Ma Zemin is a smart person, and almost immediately understood what Xie Meng's 'benefit' meant, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, although my Ma family has parted ways with the eldest prince, over the years, my Ma family has also collected a lot of evidence about what the eldest prince did. ”
They wanted to use those things to protect themselves.
But under Yan Zheng's nose, they don't even have the ability to protect themselves, let alone let these things appear in the sun.
"So, what do you mean?"
Ma Zemin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I am willing to use these incriminating evidence in exchange for the safety of the entire Ma family." ”
After saying that, he got up, bowed to Xie Meng very cautiously, and buried his head deeply: "Please also ask Your Excellency, pity my Ma family for making a big mistake due to unclear people, and I am willing to give us a chance to change." ”
"In order to show gratitude, I don't want to make the decision to hand over two-thirds of the Ma family's money to Your Excellency as a thank you gift."
Xie Meng rubbed his eyebrows, and his voice became more and more faint: "I said, I'm not interested in your silver." ”
Ma Zemin noticed the loosening of Xie Meng's words, and hurriedly changed his words: "Since Your Excellency doesn't want it, I will donate two-thirds of the money in Your Name to atone for your sins." ”
In her name?
Xie Meng wanted to laugh inexplicably.
It seems that the people of the Ma family are indeed not stupid.
Otherwise, at such a juncture, how could she still think about her identity?
"In my name, but ...... It's not a bad idea to donate it. ”
Ma Zemin stood up and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Your Excellency means that you agreed?!" ”
"I don't agree with it, it depends on whether you are sincere enough...... And those things, can you get me interested? ”
After the plausible words were finished, Xie Meng was already out of interest.
She waved her hand a little bored: "If you are sincere, use the fastest speed to collect Yan Zheng's criminal evidence into a book, and in three days, I will send someone to collect it." ”
Anyway, without giving Ma Zemin a chance to react, Xie Meng subsidized Shi Xia, and gently sprinkled the medicinal powder that he had held in his hand for a long time in front of him, and as the faint fragrance of flowers inhaled into his nose, Ma Zemin's body also fell softly.
Seeing this, the nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed, Xie Meng lay on the table with no strength, and lazily ordered: "Send him back to Mafu, don't alarm the others." ”
As the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared in the dim corner, and the person easily carried Ma Zemin on his shoulders and quietly left the dark room.
When she was the only one left in the dark room, Xie Meng let out a few weak wails, and casually took off the veil that made her a little breathless.
I took a few big breaths, and then sighed.
She suddenly felt that fooling people was also a kind of physical work.
This feeling of grievance is not as happy as her killing pigs.
