(431) overnight

Zhang Qingting was overwhelmed with grief and indignation when he saw Zhao Chengcai being controlled by others, and asked this gang of bandits, "Why?" We are just small people, where did we offend you? Do you have to put people to death? Let him go."

The group sneered, "If you hadn't offended anyone, how could you have caused today's incident?" How about we also receive money from others, so how about eliminating disasters for others? Do you put it or not? ”

Meng Zizhan's mind was still clear, "It's okay to let you go, but you have to make sure he's safe, right?" There are a lot of mistakes, if I let you go, what if you go back on your word? ”

"This is a gamble," the gang said bluntly, "We are mixed up in the rivers and lakes, and we still want the word Xinyi, if we release people, what if you turn around and come to chase us again?" I have no choice but to offend this person and borrow it from us first, and when we are sure that there is nothing wrong, we will naturally let him live, you see that he is so seriously injured, if you don't heal it quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to save it if you want to."

Zhang Qingting blurted out unconsciously, "Then what if you regret it?" How do we know you're going to keep your word? ”

The group said without hesitation, "That's why we said that we let you gamble, our brother can swear to the sky that he will not hurt his life, but if he himself is unlucky and can't save his life, then he can't blame us."

This is clearly a dead story, and it is completely untrue. But at this moment, if you don't believe them, Zhao Chengcai will immediately die

Mencius made a decision on the spot, "You can take the good people away, and the horses outside will be returned to you." There is a god who wants you to keep your promise today and not to hurt his life."

"Rest assured, we have no grievances with you, why should we hurt his life? You let us live today, this kindness, our brothers will also remember" The group didn't know if they could keep their promises, but they said it loudly, and they left quickly with Zhao Chengcai.

Zhang Qingting watched, but there was nothing he could do. When they were about to leave, she suddenly rushed forward desperately and said sharply, "If you don't keep your word, you will hurt his life." I am the end of the world, as long as there is a breath here, I will never die with you"

The mournful voice echoed in the night sky, extremely heart-wrenching, but still powerless to prevent the predetermined fate.

Mencius sighed in his heart, but he didn't have time to feel too much, he still had a lot of things to do, and a lot of people to save

Although Zhang Qingting didn't have the heart to ask him why he came, he also knew that his appearance today must not be accidental.

Since he got the approval of his father Meng Shangde at the funeral of Yan Mansion a few years ago and began to investigate Yan Bozhai, Meng Zizhan has been sending people to secretly monitor his whereabouts. However, Yan Bozhai is suspicious by nature and extremely alert, and he has never caught any practical and advantageous handles. It wasn't until that day that Yan Bowen went to Yan Mansion to make a big fuss that a crack finally appeared under Yan Bozhai's tightly fitting iceberg mask.

The person in charge of monitoring the Yan Mansion found that Qiu Sheng, the head of the Yan Mansion, had personally brought the owner of a carriage and horse shop in the capital into the mansion. It is said that there are not a few people in this big family in the capital who deal with people from the carriage and horse dealership, and sometimes even if they don't use it, it is not surprising that they have to move something at home or go out of the house, and hire their car capital. But what is suspicious is that this car and horse shop is very small, so small that it is not at all inconspicuous.

But it was so inconspicuous, but it made Mencius suspicious. If it is the identity of the Yan family, even if it is a subordinate to hire a car, they should find a few big carts and horses, but they don't look for it, but go to find such a small car and horse shop, it will be a little wanted. Mencius immediately asked people to follow this clue to follow, and it didn't take long, and sure enough, he found something special about this carriage and horse dealership.

On the surface, this carriage and horse shop looks very ordinary, the same business is open, and the same taxes are paid according to the rules. But the strange thing is that their business is not too good, but they support a lot of guys. And he is very low-key, he basically doesn't run long distances, only runs some short distances around the capital, if he really does business, how can he not make money if he has money?

Summoning the local Baojia to secretly investigate the population books of these fellows, Mencius Zhan discovered an even stranger phenomenon. Most of the identities of this group were naturalized by untouchables who were promoted by some petty officials

According to the law, untouchables were not naturalized, but subordinate only to their masters. If you want to be naturalized and obtain legal civilian status, you must be guaranteed by someone, and then pay the money to go through a redemption procedure before you can become naturalized. If it is not surprising if it is one or two, it is very debatable that such a large-scale change of nationality can be made. Looking at it carefully, a few of those officials who were promoted were pulled up by Yan Bozhai, and by analogy, Mencius had already figured it out.

It's just that he took great pains to help so many people change their names and surnames and get out of legal status? Mencius did not believe that Yan Bozhai would do useless work. So where exactly did these people come from? If you look at the time when this carriage and horse shop was established, it was around the time of the fall of King Yan, and these people also came in in batches one after another since then.

Investigating the old case of King Yan back then, although it was widely implicated, most of the officials with names and surnames were involved, and what about the dead guards in King Yan's mansion in the past? But many have disappeared.

Mencius Zhan vaguely understood, but he was a little unsure whether Yan Bozhai's actions were instructed by the emperor, or whether he did it himself, or both?

Therefore, he can't rashly startle the snake, but just let people pay close attention to the movements of this carriage and horse shop. Today, I really found that something was wrong, and the carriage business did not get out of the car, poured out more than a dozen horses, and went to the suburbs of Beijing

Mencius Zhan, who got the news, did not even participate in the Lantern Festival, and immediately rushed over with his people, because he thought in advance that these people had a kung fu foundation, so he did not dare to rush to make it big, and he also mobilized his absolutely trustworthy elite soldiers and strong generals to come over. Unexpectedly, due to the delay in the gathering of manpower, he encountered this robbery

At first, when he saw the Yan family brothers who were fighting with others, he was sure that he was seven or eight points accurate in his heart. No matter how the emperor is, he will not deal with a businessman like Qiao Zhongda, so today's events are most likely Yan Bozhai's private actions

So he decisively showed up with his banner, and the two people besieging the Yan brothers saw that the situation was not good, so they ran one and grabbed the other. Without taking off the man's hood, Yan Xinan had already recognized it from his fists and feet, "Bai Tong doesn't need to pretend anymore, I know it's you, and the one who ran is Ban Yunchong, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

In the past, they had all worked together under King Yan, and when they met again at this time, they were really speechless.

searched to the side again, and first found Bao Shiming, who rolled into the ditch and fainted, and Ji Xiang, who was punched and kicked, suffered some injuries, but cleverly lay down and pretended to be dead. Now that Zhao Chengcai has been kidnapped and left, Zhang Qingting's mother and daughter have been rescued, as well as Fang Dehai and He Yutang, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Mencius saw that everyone was overly frightened, so he arranged for someone to send them back to the capital first. Neither went to the Meng Mansion nor the inn, but temporarily placed them in a hidden mansion he had placed in the capital.

Zhang Qingting fought hard and cleaned up his daughter first and coaxed her to sleep. After waiting for almost half an hour, I saw Zhang Jinbao and Fang Mingzhu come back with a pale face and unkempt hair.

In her heart, she suddenly had a very bad premonition, "What about Old Man Fang?" ”

Fang Mingzhu's eyes were scattered, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his spirit, hearing her ask like this, he opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly he fell straight down

"Mingzhu" Zhang Qingting exclaimed, but looked at his younger brother in disbelief. That terrible thought was already coming out of my heart

Zhang Jinbao's lips twitched a few times, he held back his tears, choked up and said to the eldest sister, "Old man Fang, let's go."

The body was then found and sent back. There was a fatal knife wound in the front of his chest, and the blood all over his body seemed to have flowed through, staining the entire cotton coat

The old man's pale face was dumbfounded, and his pathetic eyes seemed to be questioning the sky speechlessly, how could you be unfair? What exactly did he do wrong? How do you end up like this?

Zhang Qingting's brain buzzed loudly, and she sat on the ground all of a sudden, Rao is she had always been calm, and it was unbearable to suddenly see such a human tragedy

The fear in my heart skyrocketed like a tidal wave in an instant, setting off a monstrous giant * What about Zhao Chengcai? Will it be the same when you come back? She doesn't want it, she doesn't want it

Fortunately, Fang Mingzhu had fainted at this time and did not see the tragic state of his grandfather's corpse. Sending her to the bed to lie down, Zhang Jinbao also needed to calm down before he could tell Zhang Qingting about the situation on their side.

is no different from Zhao Chengcai's choice, Fang Dehai also risked his old life, let Zhang Jinbao take Fang Mingzhu away, and chose to face death, but he did not have Zhao Chengcai's good luck, and he was able to survive until Mencius came to the rescue, so that he gave away his life.

Before parting, the old man left a sentence, "I left something in the coffin, you remember to see it"

And until dawn, He Yutang's group was not found. According to Mencius's estimate, they should have escaped by luck, but they didn't know where they were hiding now, so they couldn't contact them for a while.

Mencius advised them all to rest for a while, but no one could sleep except those who fainted.

Not long after Fang Mingzhu fainted, he had a high fever, talking nonsense, and kept calling "grandpa" and couldn't stop crying from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Qingting also wanted to cry loudly, his eyes were sour, and he was very uncomfortable, but for some reason, he couldn't shed a single tear, and the unbearable worry and sadness all poured into his blood, every bit and every drop hurt people in pain
