Since ancient times, the capital has been a gathering place of power and humanity, with a peaceful and smooth surface and an undercurrent surging inside, and every bloody scene is ruthlessly buried in the dark alleys of the bustling night of the capital.

"You deliberately create chaos like this, so as to attract the attention of more big people behind the scenes, is this the result you want?" Meng Jingwen walked into the pavilion, her brows furrowed, and what was even more annoying was that Mu Lingtian, who had already reached the brink of danger, still looked calm and relaxed, as if the loud momentum of three days ago was insignificant to him.

Meng Jingwen knew that Mu Lingtian would make a move, but what Meng Jingwen thought was that Mu Lingtian would quietly erase the assassination organization, and it was not like now, boiling over, and there was a hidden danger of being discovered by others with real strength.

Mu Lingtian was silent, just raised his eyes to look at Meng Jingwen, and then stretched out his hand to signal Meng Jingwen to sit down opposite: "Have you ever thought that Li Shi'an can form an assassination group of 1,000 people, is it not formed if he is in a higher position than Li Shi'an?" ”

If you want to be strong and not be crushed, in addition to seizing power, you still have to be tough.

The strength of the capital is intricate, and the big people often privately praise their troops to prevent accidents, Mu Lingtian is a good example, and he is also one of the few more powerful assassination groups.

"You mean to make an example of the monkeys?" Meng Jingwen pondered, and wondered in her heart: "Then why did you only emerge at this time?" ”

If Mu Lingtian wanted others to know his ambitions, why did he choose this point? Could it be that he doesn't want to deal with the annoying assassinations of one assassination group after another, so as to make an example of the big people who have moved their minds?

Mu Lingtian smiled and looked into the distance, if he passed through the walls, then he could find that the location of Anyang Houfu was exactly at the end of the end: "If this step can make Hou Ye feel like a slap in the face, then everything will be taken back with interest." ”

Anyang Hou Mansion, Gate Courtyard Hall.

"Please cure the crime of poor guards."

At this time, it was sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun shrank out from the hall, Meng Jiancheng wandered in the hall, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was gloomy, completely ignoring the guards of the Hou Mansion who knelt down to ask for sin, he stopped from time to time to look at the sunset sky outside the door, and the copy of the contract in his hand that disappeared five years ago and now suddenly appeared.

As for why this letter appeared in the hall of our courtyard, and it was just the right time for him to find out, he didn't have much to pay attention to it now. What Meng Jiancheng cares about is why someone knows about the contract he made with Shangguan Yan ten years ago, and what is the intention of the person who sent the contract!

This letter is very important, and it must not easily fall into the hands of others, Meng Jiancheng was upset and waved his hand.

"Get out!"

Those kneeling below withdrew from the hall of the courtyard one after another, and in the end, only Meng Jiancheng, who was still clueless and hesitating, was left.

After about a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of begging for mercy in the hall of the gatehouse, Meng Jiancheng sat on the upper seat and raised his eyes and frowned, but he saw Bai Juan and Meng Lanshuang walking in, and three or four maids behind dragged Meng Jingwen's maid Qiang Er in.

After a group of female dependents led by Bai Juan asked Meng Jiancheng to say goodbye, they asked Qiang'er to come up and slam her on the ground, Qiang'er accidentally had multiple abrasions on her body, and she barely supported her body to see Meng Jiancheng, who was not angry and self-righteous, with a frightened face, and the word wronged in her mouth was broken.

Bai Juan didn't pay attention to Qiang'er's self-talk, and immediately complained to Meng Jiancheng who sat down: "Master Hou, this girl wandered outside the door in the evening, sneaky, and it happened that the purple jade ring specially prepared for Hou Ye during this period disappeared out of thin air, it must be that the maid here got greedy and committed the theft." ”

There was anger in Qiang'er's eyes, anger at Bai Juan and Meng Lan's scheming design to frame her, and the malicious smile on their faces at this time.

"Master Hou, the slave and maid are wronged...."Before Qiang'er finished speaking, the eldest lady gave a look to the maid beside her, and the maid stepped forward to tie Qiang'er's face, Qiang'er shouted in pain but didn't dare to resist, crying and suffering unspeakably.

"Master Hou, if you don't punish it severely..... Meng Jiancheng raised his hand to signal Bai Juan to stop, and then looked at Bai Juan and the others impatiently.

Bai Juan rarely saw Meng Jiancheng's expression, but she was as thoughtful as her, and immediately knelt down and stopped talking, but she secretly thought in her heart: "Qiang'er, this damn girl, see if I want you to survive in the future, you can't die." ”

Bai Juan knelt down, Meng Lanshuang and the maids also knelt down, and they all noticed Meng Jiancheng's anger and regretted not changing this time.

However, just when Qiang'er naively thought that Meng Jiancheng would be able to distinguish between right and wrong and spare her, but the next moment, the majestic man said in a deep voice: "Such a trivial matter, just kill it." ”

Rumble!

Qiang Er only felt her head rumble, and her whole body was weak and collapsed to the ground, but her eyes didn't dare to touch the man above, even if it was just the corner of his clothes.

Bai Juan and Meng Lanshuang didn't expect this ending to be so unexpected, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, and then Bai Juan hurriedly responded, ready to step down with Meng Lanshuang to be the obstructive Qiang'er.

"Father, please make a conclusion after careful inspection, Jing Wen has a contract envelope that my father is interested in."

However, on the verge of death, Qiang Er heard a familiar voice, as if grasping the last straw at the moment of life and death.

However, Meng Lanshuang was willing to easily let go of Qiang'er, who was already half a dead person, and reprimanded Meng Jingwen loudly: "Why did the eldest sister's personal maid commit a theft, could it be that she was instigated and instructed by the eldest sister?" ”

This is what Bai Juan and Meng Lanshuang really want to say, Bai Juan was about to go up to control Meng Jingwen as the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but she was stopped by the tall figure behind her: "Could it be that this Hou Mansion is the lady in charge?" ”

Meng Jingwen saw that Meng Jiancheng was menacing, and there was murderous intent in her eyes, but more eyes were still on the envelope held in Meng Jingwen's hand.

Bai Juan and Meng Lanshuang were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and were genuinely afraid, Meng Jingwen didn't look at them, and walked to Qiang'er's side to help Qiang'er.

"Qiang'er doesn't cry, it's okay." Meng Jingwen saw the abrasions on Qiang'er's body, she was distressed and angry at the same time, she turned her head and looked at Meng Lan's mother and daughter without any scruples.

But it was not the time to act arbitrarily, she comforted Qiang'er, and then walked towards Meng Jiancheng with the envelope that Meng Jiancheng had been staring at.

Meng Jiancheng also walked over, and finally took the envelope handed by Meng Jingwen, hurriedly opened it and looked at it, his brows were even tighter, but there was a ray of light in his eyes, which seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

What kind of means did Meng Jingwen use to calm down Meng Jiancheng in anger, Bai Juan was confused for a while, and peeked at the mysterious envelope with her spare eyes.

However, after reading the envelope, Meng Jiancheng lingered in place for a while, and finally let Bai Juan and the others, as well as Qiang'er, step back first, and Meng Jingwen stayed.

Meng Jingwen knew what Meng Jiancheng was curious about, so she comforted Qiang'er and let her go down first.

So in the end, only Meng Jingwen and Meng Jiancheng were left.

Meng Jiancheng sat on the top and was silent, just staring at Meng Jingwen below, as if thinking about how to ask questions.

Only then did Meng Jingwen remember what Mu Lingtian said in Sima Chang'an's Mansion.

"If you return to the Hou Mansion with this letter now, you may be able to save your maid's life."

"Something happened to Qiang'er?"

"The spy reported to me that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion designed to frame your maid, intending to go out to the people who can be trusted by your side."

Meng Jingwen hurriedly took the envelope given by Mu Lingtian, left Sima Chang'an's mansion without a few glances, got into the carriage and rushed to the Hou Mansion, and when she returned to the Hou Mansion, she saw Bai Juan's despicable and sinister side, fortunately, she rushed back in time, and raised the envelope in her hand, sure enough, as Mu Lingtian said, Meng Jiancheng seemed to be much more angry when he saw this letter, and at the same time there was hope in his eyes.

"You know what's inside?" Meng Jiancheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, Meng Jingwen saw Meng Jiancheng's murderous intent for the first time, and she believed that as long as she answered wrong, Meng Jiancheng was really likely to attack her.

"No, it's just entrusted by someone to give it to my father."

Meng Jiancheng kept his eyes on Meng Jingwen, as if he wanted to see whether Meng Jingwen was lying from Meng Jingwen's expression, but in the end, he put his eyes on the two envelopes in his hand, suddenly realized, and chuckled: "Anyway, I should have thought that the four princes who are extremely smart will miss anything." ”

Mu Lingtian's encirclement and suppression action that caused a sensation in the capital three days ago, under the deliberate exposure of his whereabouts, was finally discovered by some people with a heart, Meng Jiancheng has been secretly paying attention to Mu Lingtian, and is naturally one of these people with a heart, and he knows some inside stories more or less, but now with the letter from Mu Lingtian brought by Meng Jingwen, his guess has been confirmed.

Mu Lingtian wiped out Li Shi'an's assassin organization in one fell swoop, and at the same time found the contract about Meng Jiancheng and Shangguan Yan's embezzlement of food and salaries that was stolen by Li Shi'an five years ago when he sent someone to the Hou Mansion five years ago!

"Jingwen, how is your relationship with the fourth prince?" Meng Jingwen felt that Meng Jiancheng was smiling at this time, this was the first step for Meng Jiancheng to win people's hearts, and Meng Jingwen was very familiar with it.

Meng Jingwen immediately replied: "Generally, I have only met twice in the last Flower Club and the Treasure Appreciation Meeting, and I have never seen it at other times. ”

Meng Jiancheng was anxious, frowned and asked, "Then where did you get this letter from?" ”

If this glimmer of hope can be built on the ambiguous affection between Mu Lingtian and Meng Jingwen, then everything is negotiable, but now that he hears Meng Jingwen's answer, how can he be willing?

"This was given to Jing Wen by Sima Gongzi, and he asked his daughter to hand it over to her father in person." How could Meng Jingwen say that it was given by Mu Lingtian, that kind of approach would more or less arouse Meng Jiancheng's suspicions, so he took Sima Changan to block it, anyway, this guy wouldn't mind.

"Really?!" Meng Jiancheng's originally lost expression immediately changed his face, and there was a smile in his eyes, if he could win over the Sima family, plus Mu Lingtian, this backer would definitely be indestructible in the future!
