Chapter 69 Half a pound and eight taels

"General Ning, you are very good! We'll see! Yan Zhengming, who watched Ning Jun's trial aggrievedly throughout the whole process, saw that this farce was over, glared at Xu Mengmeng fiercely and wanted to leave.

"Thank you, Lord Yan, for the compliment! In addition, in order to express Ning's gratitude, I have a few words I want to give to adults! Xu Mengmeng grabbed his arm, put it close to his ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Lord Yan, the emperor is old, but it doesn't mean that his brain is smeared! We are courtiers, and as long as he sits in that position for a day, we should not have two hearts towards him, right? ”

When Yan Zhengming heard Xu Mengmeng's words, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly retreated away from her side and led people out.

"Lord Yan, let me remind you that the conduct of officials is still very important, and those who conduct scientific research should be severely punished for carrying personal entrainment, especially the two people I sent someone to send to you, do you know?" Looking at his back, Xu Mengmeng kindly reminded him again.

A trace of cold sweat slid down Yan Zhengming's head, and his steps paused, only to feel the cold air around his body constantly surging towards his body. He understood Ning Jun's words, the emperor had already seen that he had taken refuge in the Seventh Prince, and today's incident was a warning to him, if he continued along this road, it would not be a good end for him!

The poisoning matter was solved, and the lively crowd had dispersed, but looking at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, Xu Mengmeng's brain still hurt badly, a restless An Qingyuan, and an emperor who played chess happily, hey, what kind of is this!

Three days passed in a flash, and on the evening of the end of the scientific expedition, the exhausted Xu Mengmeng had not had time to take a shower to get tired, and was surrounded by the scholars in front of the general's mansion, and because of the huge momentum, it also attracted many people to watch.

"The general doesn't have to pay attention to them, he will leave when they stay for a long time and are tired!" Seeing that his young lady was depressed, Lixing couldn't help but persuade.

"Hey, I don't want to pay attention to them, but I have to go out for something, they are all blocked at the door, how difficult it is to get out!" Xu Mengmeng got up and sighed, and walked out resignedly.

"Then I'll have someone clear the way for you?"

"Don't, don't do this, they are all delicate and expensive weak men, and the brothers in our hands are a group of rough men, I didn't accidentally hurt them, and then I will be labeled as 'bullying the weak'!" With a wave of her hand, she continued towards the gate.

"......" Xu Mengmeng just spoke, and was about to appease them, when an egg flew in front of her and smashed it on her defenseless face, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Poof~" The glimpse on the side was the first time he saw his own young lady's appearance, and he laughed directly, and his laughter seemed to have touched the mechanism, bringing a chain reaction, and the crowd of onlookers also burst into chuckles.

The man who threw the egg didn't expect such a thing to happen when he threw it casually, and the whole person was stunned, and even forgot to retract his raised arm, and directly let a soldier under Xu Mengmeng slip out.

"Yo~ You're not small! Dare to throw me with an egg? Know who I am? I'm a second-rank general named by the emperor himself, you are an official who attacked the court, do you know that you should be beheaded according to the law? Xu Mengmeng gently wiped the dirt on the mask with his sleeve, and said leisurely as he looked at the young man in the blue robe in front of him.

"I ...... I, I ......" The young man's face turned white, and his mouth was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Looking at the scene in front of him, An Qingyuan, who was hiding in the crowd, pursed his lips lightly, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists. Sure enough, all the officials are villains who bully the weak and fear the hard, and I must have awe-inspiring power!

An Qingyuan's eyes stared at the masked figure in front of the crowd, his eyes were dark and gloomy, like a cold snake pupil, but soon this darkness was shattered by the next scene.

Xu Meng dreamed that the young man was about to cry, so he no longer scared him, but said softly: "Now I know that I am impulsive!" Well, I'm not interested in torturing a little body like yours, so wipe your tears and snot! ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the crowd around her, and said loudly: "The matter of the scientific expedition has caused a lot of harm to everyone because of my negligence, and here I solemnly apologize to everyone, and I will ask the emperor for the punishment of tomorrow morning, and ask the saint for the corresponding compensation for everyone who has suffered injustice!"

Although I won't worry about you, it is difficult to ensure that your behavior today will not be used by people with bad intentions to make a fuss, affecting your reputation and career, you know? Alright, let's all disperse! Tomorrow Ning will give you a satisfactory result! ”

Xu Mengmeng waved her hand lightly, the crowd gradually dispersed, An Qingyuan took a deep look at her, turned around and left with a complicated mood. What kind of person are you?

When the front of the General's Mansion was empty again, Xu Mengmeng turned his head to look at the glimpse with an unkind expression, and hummed softly in a low voice: "Is it funny?" Well? ”

Turning around and going back to the mansion to wash and change into ink-colored robes, when it was completely dark, Xu Mengmeng went out again, avoiding the bustling and lively streets, and heading towards the dark alleys in the west of the city.

"Knock knock~" reached out and knocked on the dilapidated small door, and soon the door was opened from the inside, and the person on the other side was the same as when they first met, giving people a sense of elegance and gentleness, but Xu Mengmeng would never feel like that sick prince again.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother An, don't come unharmed!" Xu Mengmeng walked around him and sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea in his hand, and blew it lightly, the tea rippled gradually, but the hearts of the two were calm.

In response to her, there was silence, Xu Mengmeng didn't expect him to answer, raised his head and swept his sharp eyes towards him, and a cold and deep voice sounded faintly:

"Throwing laxatives into the water in the back kitchen of the Gongyuan, deliberately hiding the entrainment in the shoes, what does our An Gongzi want to do?"

"No, General Ning, you still missed one thing, that little note is not mine, after all, I can't afford such a good paper!" An Qingyuan didn't care about Xu Mengmeng's questioning at all, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a mocking arc.

"What do you mean? Someone is trying to frame you? After his reminder, Xu Mengmeng remembered that there was something strange at that time.

"Frame me? Isn't this question the general knows better than I do? ”

"Regardless of the note, what do you explain about laxatives? You are also a student, it is impossible not to understand why you can do such a ruthless thing after ten years of hard work? ”

"Am I ruthless? What about you who use poison? What about you who use me as a pawn? Do you think I don't know that Yin Zhaojing of the Capital Mansion is the person of the Seven Princes? Don't you know that most of the candidates who have problems are from the Seven Princes? General Ning, we don't have to laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps! Although An Qingyuan's words were full of mockery, the tone of his speech was so flat that it made people chill.

"Today, I think it's Ning who came wrong! That being the case, in the future, Gongzi An will do it for himself! Xu Mengmeng got up and sighed in his heart, turned his back to An Qingyuan, and strode out.
