Chapter Ninety-Six: Blessing in Disguise for Xinping
One day in early February of the same year, in a deep mansion compound not far from Jingzhao Mansion, there was a man under house arrest, who was Mei Jiaxing.
Now, Liu Xinyu is dead. As a result, there are even fewer people who can hinder Zhu Jingqi and others from achieving great things.
However, if this plan is to be successfully completed, there are several people who must be eliminated, and Mei Chengye is one of them.
Although this person is cowardly by nature and timid in doing things, he has been friends with Liu Xinyu for many years, and the relationship is extraordinary. If you want to bring it down smoothly, you have to work harder.
Mei Jiaxing is Mei Chengye's only son, if Mei Jiaxing's life is used to blackmail Mei Chengye, then he will inevitably obey and be used by me.
However, the wayward Mei Jiaxing did not realize the seriousness of the problem, so that he took the initiative to send himself to the enemy's side by mistake.
You must know that Zhang Shugong was on an errand in Jingzhao Mansion, and at this time, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion was Qiu Pengyun.
Qiu Pengyun was an official appointed by the imperial court on the surface, but secretly he had a close relationship with Zhu Jingqi. It can even be said that all this is Zhu Jingqi's operation in the dark, and the dignified Jingzhao Mansion has become his Zhu family's private yamen.
So, what exactly do they want Mei Chengye to do?
In fact, these people just wanted Mei Chengye to take advantage of his position, and then arrange more people designated by them to enter the court as officials.
When the time is ripe, Zhu Jingqi will naturally participate in Mei Chengye in front of Tang Xuanzong.
It is said that he is playing favoritism and committing fraud, and even uses his position to form a party for personal gain with shoddy conditions, treats the laws of the court as nothing, and buries talents to harm Zhongliang...... All of these, no matter what, could kill him.
However, Mei Chengye, who is the secretary of the ministry, knows that this move will definitely put him in a situation from which he will never recover. But in order to make Mei Jiaxing come back safe and sound, he can only make mistakes. If not, Mei Jiaxing's life will be difficult to protect.
However, Mei Chengye also knew very well in his heart that even if he did 100% according to the requirements of those people, Mei Jiaxing, who was in danger, might not be able to come back.
After all, cooperating with these insidious and capricious villains is to dance with wolves, and it is the norm to go back on their word, so Mei Chengye is also ready to die and break the net.
On the other hand, Mei Jiaxing, who was trapped here, also tried to escape from the clutches of the devil many times, but finally because he couldn't get home, he was caught by them again and again and thrown back into the house.
At this time, Mei Jiaxing was already dead set on escaping, and then realized how stupid and reckless his actions were.
The courtyard where Mei Jiaxing is located is the old mansion of Zhang Shugong's family that has been abandoned for many years. Although it is no longer inhabited, it has not become useless, but has gradually become a necessary place for Zhang Shugong to detain others under house arrest.
After all, this place is inaccessible, and even if someone occasionally comes and notices something unusual, they will never dare to enter it easily. It's just that there are ghosts here, but it's a murderous house.
Mei Jiaxing, who has lived here for many days, can be said to be miserable, eating, drinking, and sleeping in this separate hut.
Not to mention the maid servant here, not even a person in charge of serving him. Not only that, in order to prevent him from escaping, Zhang Shugong specially sent people to guard here in turn day and night. There are only steamed buns and pickles for three meals a day, and nothing else.
What's more, the guards here often bullied him when they saw that one of them was weak.
For example, letting Mei Jiaxing sleep next to the urine bucket, sleeping at night without covering the quilt, not allowing him to drink water when eating, etc., it can really be said that he has suffered all kinds of torture.
Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing was really unwilling to suffer this shame, so much so that he wanted to die several times, but he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't have the courage to face death.
Thinking about sitting at home yesterday, the maids and servants serving on the side, what a pleasure it is to call the wind and rain, but people have loved it; Unexpectedly, I encountered this evil today, crying and shouting and whispering and intimidating, day after day I was terrified, hoping that the heroes would shake each other's hands.
In this way, Mei Jiaxing, who was in despair, fell asleep groggily in the midst of crying.
In the middle of the night, Mei Jiaxing, who was asleep, suddenly heard something strange outside the door, and quickly woke up.
At this time, Mei Jiaxing was already frightened by them like a trembling coward, for fear that someone would come to play tricks on him if he was drunk.
I saw Mei Jiaxing cautiously come to the door, and secretly glanced through the crack in the door, only to find that the guards at the door actually fainted to the ground one after another.
When he was young, Mei Jiaxing heard the sound of someone coming to unlock the door.
Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing hurriedly hid in the corner of the wall, holding his head in his hands and motionless, looking frightened.
At this moment, the man pushed the door in, and then came straight to Mei Jiaxing.
Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing thought that those people were going to punch and kick him again, so he begged repeatedly: "I didn't say anything!" I didn't do anything! I don't dare anymore, I don't know anything! ”
Seeing this, the person who came whispered to him: "Don't be afraid, childe, I'm Zhang Qianxiao, I'm here to save you." ”
Hearing this, Mei Jiaxing breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.
Mei Jiaxing, who was already sweating profusely, saw that the person in front of him was Zhang Qianxiao, and immediately cried loudly, so that he couldn't help but throw himself into Zhang Qianxiao's arms, and began to cry like a child and wipe his tears.
Seeing this, Zhang Qianxiao did not immediately push it away, but comforted Mei Jiaxing half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.
Because Zhang Qianxiao knew that Mei Jiaxing was here, he must have been tortured and bullied. Seeing his bruised nose and swollen face, the kind-hearted Zhang Qianxiao would of course be unbearable, so much so that he did not hesitate to risk his life to betray his father, in order to rescue Mei Jiaxing from danger.
It turned out that Zhang Qianxiao had long hated Zhang Shugong's actions, but because Zhang Shugong was her father, it was inconvenient for Zhang Qianxiao to openly confront him, so as not to end up with a bad offspring.
However, Zhang Shugong's despicable acts in the past few days are really outrageous. Zhang Qianxiao in order to prevent his father from being spurned by everyone in the future, and even left an infamy through the ages. In order to prevent the innocent victim Mei Jiaxing from dying in vain, she resolutely decided to design to rescue her. In this way, the right should be to atone for the father's sins.
At nightfall that day, Zhang Qianxiao pretended to deliver food under the pretext of delivering food, and then took the food mixed with sweat medicine to the people who guarded Mei Jiaxing to eat.
Because Zhang Qianxiao had also come here to deliver some food before, and there was no abnormality after eating, these people did not shirk to stop them, but they didn't expect Zhang Qianxiao to do something in the meal this time.
Just as Zhang Qianxiao was about to leave here with Mei Jiaxing, the guards actually woke up one by one.
I think Zhang Qianxiao is soft-hearted, so the amount of medicine put is not enough, or it is unknown if there is a problem with these sweat medicines.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Qianxiao hurriedly got up and dragged the guard, and ordered Mei Jiaxing to take the opportunity to escape quickly.
No matter what, Zhang Qianxiao is Zhang Shugong's biological flesh and blood, presumably her father should not be too difficult for her.
didn't want Mei Jiaxing to see this situation, so he really chose to leave. However, when Mei Jiaxing first arrived here, he didn't know anything about the environment here. So Mei Jiaxing, who was in a panic, went all the way east after escaping safely.
At dawn that day, Mei Jiaxing, who was already exhausted, thought that he had gotten rid of the control of Zhang Shugong and others.
But I don't want those people under Zhang Shugong to have very smart noses, it seems that Mei Jiaxing will follow wherever he goes.
Seeing this situation, Mei Jiaxing didn't dare to think about it. Even if he is hungry and has no strength at all, he must not let these people be caught back.
Thinking of this, Mei Jiaxing ran forward desperately. And those people are chasing after them, and they are about to catch up.
At this critical juncture, Murong Yuping appeared in time. In fact, Murong Yuping has never given up looking for Mei Jiaxing.
This time, it can really be said that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Deliberately probing and not being found, stagnant and self-revealed.
I saw Murong Yuping dressed in red, and the bright red clothes were flying in the wind, which looked particularly eye-catching against the background of the snow.
The pretty and charming face, as if covered with a thin layer of frost, is cold and uncomfortable.
Her eyes are sharp, like a sword. Every gesture has a chilling murderous aura.
At this moment, it is early in the morning. However, due to the cool weather and the howling north wind, there were not many pedestrians in the market.
Then, Murong Yuping blocked Mei Jiaxing behind him, and then quickly and skillfully pulled out the sword in his hand.
As the sword gradually unsheathed, everyone heard the sound of the sword and the scabbard rubbing against each other.
When the person in front of him saw this, he couldn't help but be afraid, so that his legs became weak and trembled.
At this moment, I only heard Zhang Shugong's subordinates catching fast, and suddenly one person shouted, cold-faced demon queen!
"Cold-faced Demon Queen" is the nickname given to Murong Yuping by the people in the rivers and lakes, because she is cold and always gloomy, and she is very enchanting and beautiful, so she got her name.
Murong Yuping prefers red clothes, red makeup, red eyebrows, and red lips, and she seems to have a soft spot for red.
Therefore, anyone who has a little knowledge in the rivers and lakes, as long as they see this kind of dress, they will know that they must be Murong Yuping.
In addition, this person is moody, and he takes people's lives based on his own likes and dislikes. It also has excellent skills, and his martial arts attainments are top-notch. Therefore, there are not many people in the world who dare to take the initiative to provoke her, let alone these few fast catches.
This situation is somewhat similar to Yue Jichao.
However, there is a way that if people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. If you do the right thing, no matter how good others are, they won't do anything to you. Otherwise, it is impossible to escape the fate of being killed.
If not, why haven't I seen them kill and injure good people? It's not because you've done all the bad things you've done to scare yourself.
Murong Yuping is really a rare woman in the world, otherwise, Mei Jiaxing would not have loved her so desperately.
When the visitors saw this, they were immediately frightened and fled. This is the real soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the originator of killing people with his eyes.
Mei Jiaxing on the side had not yet come to his senses, and Murong Yuping rescued him from the hands of those fast catchers.
Seeing that it was Murong Yuping who saved him, Mei Jiaxing suddenly became interested. When even from the previous dying, in an instant, to the current living dragon, it is like taking a panacea.
Faced with this rare opportunity, Mei Jiaxing couldn't let it go, so he greeted it with a dead face.
"Hey, hey, Pingping, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone. If I die, will you not be widowed? ”
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuping was stunned for a moment, then stopped, and then pulled out his sword and said to him: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will kill you now!" ”
Then, Murong Yuping walked forward angrily.
Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing thought, "If you really want to kill me, why do you want to save me?" It can be seen that you still have me in your heart. You are my wife, I have recognized you in my life! Even if I die, I will die at your hands! ”
Thinking about it, Mei Jiaxing chased after him again.
When Murong Yuping saw this, she was anxious. Then he raised the sword in his hand and said that he was going to kill Mei Jiaxing.
Mei Jiaxing originally thought that Murong Yuping was just pretending to excuse himself, and he would not really attack him. Unexpectedly, Murong Yuping, who was furious, really slashed and stabbed at him, so that he almost killed Mei Jiaxing.
Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing dodged and said, "No, you play really, murder your husband!" ”
Mei Jiaxing saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away, and kept shouting while running: "Come on, help, kill ...... someone."
