Chapter 29: Fallen Angel Twenty-Nine
Meng Chong patiently told Meng He the unfortunate news, thinking that Meng He would either cry bitterly, or he would be angry and fight with King Jing. Unexpectedly, Meng He just paused after hearing this, and then continued to drink, and the speed of drinking accelerated.
"Don't you want to avenge Xiaobao's mother and son? If it weren't for King Jing's group, your wife and children wouldn't have died. Even if you stay in the capital and can't see each other often, you can at least ensure that you won't die so early. Aren't you really angry? Don't you want to bring someone into the palace? ”
Meng He said helplessly: "What can I do? King Jing is the prince, and my entry into the palace is tantamount to rebellion. Xiaobao's mother and son are dead, is it useful for me to do anything? If Xiaobao can survive, even if I want to kill the Jade Emperor, I am willing. My wife and children are gone, and I don't have the courage to live. What does the world have to do with me? I don't want to be the emperor, so what does it matter who is the emperor? Let's go. If you show it to Ma Kui, you won't even be able to save your life. ”
At this moment, there were already many footsteps outside, and Meng Chong looked through the window to see that outsiders were all people. They were all dressed as army soldiers, and they were all armed with razor-sharp weapons and bows and arrows. As soon as they go out, they will shoot them into hedgehogs. The thing that surprised Meng Chong the most was that the leader was He Gui, who he once trusted the most. It turned out that He Gui did not betray Ma Kui, he and Ma Kui led Meng Chong here together, just to kill Meng Chong here.
Just when Meng Chong and He Gui were scolding each other, when Meng Chong was scolding He Gui and He Gui was sarcastic about Meng Chong, a group of black-clothed people quietly entered the barracks. The reason why it was so easy was because there were people who were familiar with the distribution of the barracks to lead the way, secondly, because the vast majority of the elite were now surrounding Qin Tai and Meng Chong, and thirdly, because the barracks were loosely guarded. They divided their troops into several routes, some of them controlled the warehouse, some went to secretly arrest important officers such as Ma Kui, the supervising army, and some went to the headquarters to control the personnel on duty. Soon after, they locked up Ma Kui and the others, and the others carried out a counter-encirclement of the people who surrounded Qin Tai with soldiers who were willing to obey. Although these soldiers were well armed, they were unstable in their morale, and immediately laid down their arms and surrendered after being surrounded.
Meng Chong and He Gui finally saw clearly who the person was, and He Gui only knew two people. The first person is Qin Tai's wife, Zhan Xiaoxiao, He Gui saw Zhan Xiaoxiao when he came to report the news. But he didn't know how good Zhan Xiaoxiao's kung fu was, otherwise he would never dare to design and frame Zhan Xiaoxiao. The second person is He Gui's coachman Xiaoha. Xiao Ha is an imbecile, and now it seems that he is definitely a super-first-class good actor. Xiao Ha is a young guy given to Ma Kui by Meng Chong, and Ma Kui dislikes Xiao Ha for being stupid and stupid, so he gave it to He Gui. He Gui thought that he was stupid and didn't have to worry about telling his secrets, so he kept using him as his driver. But none of them knew that Xiao Ha was from a Jinyi Wei family and was a thorough spy. Xiaoha is not the eldest son in the family, so he can't justifiably enter the Jinyi Guard as an officer. Meng Chong arranged for Xiao Ha to come here, saying that he would be transferred back to be an official Jinyi guard officer in a few years. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ha discovered the secret of He Gui and Ma Kui, and hurriedly reported to Meng Chong, but at this time, Meng Chong and Qin Tai had already gone to the barracks. After Zhan Xiaoxiao found out, he used the Jinyi Wei waist card given by Feng Bao to mobilize the nearby Jinyi Guards to surround the military camp, which saved Qin Tai and Meng Chong.
Meng Chong took people to interrogate Ma Kui and He Gui, and of course he would also report his personal grievances. Qin Tai stayed behind to try to continue to persuade Meng He, who was not only a tiger general, but also had a high prestige in the military camp. As long as he comes forward, he can immediately control the military heart of the barracks. But Meng He didn't seem to care about Qin Tai, and he didn't care about Qin Tai's words.
At this time, Zhan Xiaoxiao came over and took away her husband Qin Tai. Qin Tai was guarding outside, and Zhan Xiaoxiao was alone and talked to Meng He inside. Soon after, Zhan Xiaoxiao came out, and Meng He also came out. Meng He changed his decadent appearance just now, and went to the command room to control the situation in high spirits.
Qin Tai said to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao: "You told him the truth?" ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced at her husband before saying, "How do you know?" When was it discovered? ”
Qin Tai said: "There is a contradiction in your words, I will know your intentions immediately." The child might still be alive, right? You're not doing anything wrong, though. No matter what happens to Meng He, it will not end well in the future. If Xiaobao is dead, no one will pursue it. This can be regarded as leaving a bloodline for the Meng He family. That's a good thing, and I certainly won't say it. ”
It turned out that when Zhan Xiaoxiao arrived at the destination, Meng He's wife and children had already decided to save themselves, even if they couldn't save themselves, they couldn't let Meng He continue to be controlled. The caretaker also knew the consequences, so they shot arrows to shoot their mother and son. The place where Zhan Xiaoxiao was hiding was the same as the direction in which Xiaobao was running, of course she couldn't see Xiaobao this cute child in front of her, so she made a move. Because of this, because she was holding the child, she couldn't run fast, and she was shot by the other party. For the sake of the child's future safety and revenge, Zhan Xiaoxiao killed all the caretakers who knew that the child was still alive. The few people who escaped only knew that Zhan Xiaoxiao had saved two corpses, but they didn't know that Xiaobao was still alive.
Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that Meng He's result would not be better, so he didn't hand over Xiaobao. First, Xiaobao was injured and needed medical treatment. Second, Xiaobao's mother needs comfort when she dies. Third, Meng He's crimes will implicate future generations. It's good for everyone not to say it. Qin Tai couldn't convince Meng He, but Zhan Xiaoxiao could convince Meng He. Zhan Xiaoxiao told Meng He the information that Xiaobao was not dead, and promised Meng He that he would definitely let Xiaobao live, and Meng He agreed to help Qin Tai. In exchange for Xiaobao's future and security, he felt that it was worth it.
Meng Chong immediately got the evidence and told Qin Tai that almost every soldier and officer in the barracks had taken the benefits of King Jing. Now the military camp has almost become King Jing's personal armament, and most of the equipment is provided by King Jing privately, no wonder it is so sophisticated. It seems that this military camp is going to have a big change, otherwise no one can control it.
Qin Tai told Meng Chong several things, first, Meng He had agreed to preside over the military camp. Second, Meng He was willing to be a tainted witness and report King Jing's crimes to the imperial court. Third, the materials in the military camp were sent to the court by King Jing, and King Jing could never take them back. Fourth, Meng He's sentence is right, even if they have evidence, it is impossible to treat King Jing as well. King Jing is still the prince, the palace is still the palace, and they can't attack it and can't arrest people.
Meng Chong touched the edict in his arms, but did not take it out. Both he and Qin Tai understood that King Jing and the imperial court had not completely turned their faces, and some things could not be made public. The court can't kill King Jing, and King Jing can't talk nonsense regardless of it. The edict was for outsiders to see, representing that Meng Chong had the right to deal with King Jing. Now that King Jing has not done anything sorry for the court, the edict has no effect. Even with the confessions of Ma Kui and Meng He, King Jing could not be completely subdued. Once Meng Chong's thoughts are exposed, the vassal kings of the world will join forces, and then the matter will be serious.
Qin Tai thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise solution, a way that only he dared to do. Use the Mon River to control the military camps, and then unify your thinking and draw the line. The reuse of the barracks has the duty of protecting the palace and controlling the entry and exit of the palace. Nominally, it is to protect the safety of the palace, but in fact it is to imprison the people in the palace. The reason is very simple, just say that the military camp got the news that someone wants to harm the prince in the palace. The military camp is under military control outside the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace. If King Jing was in the palace, he would be imprisoned, and if he was outside, he would have to rush back as soon as possible. Because the vassal king nominally could not leave his fiefdom, otherwise he would be captured in the capital and imprisoned forever. King Jing will not give the little emperor a chance to imprison himself, so he will come back as soon as possible. As soon as he arrived at the palace, King Jing was a caged bird and lost his freedom forever. Meng Chong also felt that this method was bullish after knowing it, so Meng Chong added an article, announcing that a month later, Meng Chong would express his condolences to King Jing on behalf of the royal family. King Jing must come back this month, stay in the palace honestly, and dare not move. also let him taste the taste of imprisonment and know what it means to be depressed. The little emperor won't say anything if they know about it, and maybe they will praise them. Meng Chong felt more and more that partnering with Qin Tai not only went smoothly but also obediently.
