Chapter 558 Willing to serve
Meng Jiancheng sent someone to prepare a carriage to wait outside the door, he first went back to the study, and in a secret passage in the study, he took out a drawing, the pattern depicted on it, and if you look closely, you will notice that it is a map.
Meng Jiancheng took it in his hand and looked at it a few times, and finally ruthlessly, he put the drawings into the brocade box, strode out of the study, and came to the door of the Hou Mansion and got into the carriage with Meng Jingwen in front of the Hou Mansion surrounded by everyone.
Since the relationship between Meng Jingwen and Sima Changan can be used, then bringing Meng Jingwen can at least give Sima Changan and Mu Lingtian a point or two when they put forward conditions.
How could Meng Jingwen not know what Meng Jiancheng thought, but if he knew that her existence would not have much impact on Sima Changan and Mu Lingtian at all, even if he knelt down and begged Mu Lingtian, he didn't see that this man who had the overall situation of the world in mind would not be too shaken, she couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably sentimental when she thought of this, but she still seemed to be unwilling in her heart, and felt that there was a voice expecting to say: There is not too much shaking, it does not mean that there is no wavering.
"Father is going, can you let Lan Shuang live in the Champs Nine Pavilion when you come back?" When Meng Jiancheng was about to get into the carriage, Meng Lanshuang, who was waiting on the side, said to Meng Jiancheng with a bridge, Meng Jingwen saw that after Meng Jiancheng heard it, she looked back at Meng Lanshuang and did not speak.
Meng Jingwen didn't see the figure of the eldest lady and others, probably knowing that Meng Jiancheng was angry, and didn't dare to come, for fear of touching her brows again, but this Meng Lanshuang liked the Champs Nine Pavilion very much, and had been eager to try, and during this time, she was also entangled by Meng Jiancheng's side, coquettish, and when the time came, she was blocked by a letter from Meng Jingwen, and in order to avoid change, she finally couldn't bear to say it.
In other words, Meng Lanshuang was usually obedient, Meng Jiancheng had long been happy, but now, he glanced at Meng Jingwen, and then said lightly, regardless of Meng Lanshuang's sadness, he turned his head and got into the carriage, Meng Jingwen smacked his tongue secretly, and didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Lanshuang who was stunned in place, and got into the carriage where Meng Jiancheng was, and the carriage immediately left.
Mu Lingtian invited Meng Jiancheng to meet in Xixiangtan, Xixiangtan is a night scene area, there are fireworks and glass, there are restaurants to listen to operas, and there are some hidden places, places for people to enjoy and talk, Mu Lingtian's next power branch is in Xixiangtan.
Meng Jingwen and Meng Jiancheng got off the bus by a lighted path, and Meng Jingwen saw the small courtyard at the end of the road from a distance. Although there are many lights on the two furnishings, there is no half a figure, which is not as busy as the bustling street a hundred meters away.
Meng Jiancheng was a little surprised, but in the end he smiled slightly, asked Meng Jingwen to follow, and walked along the path, Meng Jingwen was about to reach the end, and saw Sima Chang'an, who had not been seen for a few days, open the fence of the bamboo garden and salute them.
Meng Jiancheng nodded, and followed Sima Changan into the courtyard, the courtyard was very quiet in this area, and there was a bamboo forest on the side with the sound of insects chirping at night.
"Master Hou is famous for his punctuality, Ling Tian admires him."
"The four princes said so, but it was a prize."
Meng Jingwen sat down next to Meng Jiancheng, tasted the big red robe prepared by Mu Lingtian earlier, and listened to their greetings.
Although Meng Jiancheng tried his best to hide his anxiety, he couldn't help but be a little tentative between the lines: "Recently, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, although there is no war ahead, but it is inevitable that there will be some friction with the Qi State, I don't know if the four princes can know some news about the grain and grass backup?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Lingtian smiled in his heart, knowing that the old fox couldn't bear it after all.
"There is a place behind the courtyard with a good view, which can include half of the night view of the capital, why don't Miss Meng go and take a look?" Mu Lingtian didn't answer Meng Jiancheng's words, and turned to look at Meng Jingwen, although Meng Jingwen had doubts, she also knew what he meant, so she and Meng Jiancheng and the others asked to retreat and walked to the back of the courtyard.
In order to reduce Meng Jiancheng's uneasiness, fewer people know about this matter is the greatest sincerity, and at the same time, Mu Lingtian is also to protect Meng Jingwen, Meng Jingwen is very smart and knows the truth.
"The sincerity of the four princes, Ben Hou has written it down, and if there is an order, Ben Hou is willing to help." Meng Jiancheng is famous, step by step, even in the big corruption case ten years ago, he can be at ease, but today he was caught by Mu Lingtian, although he was unwilling, but he knew that taking the initiative to lower his style was the safest way.
Mu Lingtian smiled abruptly: "Hou Ye's words have annoyed Ling Tian, but he doesn't hide it from Hou Ye, he has indeed encountered some small troubles recently, and he needs Hou Ye's help." ”
Sima Changan admired Mu Lingtian's mentality of not changing his complexion, and he was glad that he was friends with Mu Lingtian rather than enemies, otherwise he wouldn't know how to deal with this tricky character.
Meng Jiancheng really responded positively to Mu Lingtian with a smile on the surface, with a look of loyalty at his disposal: "Even if the fourth prince says yes, he will definitely try his best to solve his worries." ”
"Presumably Master Hou still remembers the assassination a month ago?"
"Huh? Could it be that the matter of the four princes has something to do with this? With Mu Lingtian's reminder, Meng Jiancheng faintly felt that there was an inexplicable connection between these things that should not have been together, but after seeing the pictures and texts that Sima Changan took out, Meng Jiancheng confirmed his conjecture.
Mu Lingtian chuckled: "This picture and text is the pattern on the three utensils of Hou Ye and General Shangguan, as well as Li Shi'an and Li Shangshu, and it is also the graphic symbol of the assassination organization that night, Li Shangshu has not been very peaceful recently." ”
It is no wonder that Meng Jiancheng was surprised, all kinds of events are linked, that is, Li Shi'an was angry about Lan Xin back then, so he sent someone to collect evidence of Meng Jiancheng and Shangguan Yan's corruption, and at the same time sent someone to assassinate Shangguan Yan, but no one was killed, and was blocked by Mu Lingtian, and finally even the letter of incriminating evidence that could finally be handed over to the emperor to read was also seized in Mu Lingtian's encirclement and suppression.
"What happened back then, in the end, you still hold a grudge!" Meng Jiancheng said in a deep voice, thinking that the sworn brother many years ago was actually the mastermind behind the murderous intentions against him, and he couldn't help but feel cold.
Mu Lingtian glanced at Sima Changan on the side, and Sima Changan immediately poured tea for Meng Jiancheng, and persuaded him: "Right now, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and Hou Ye decided to put it back and hold it back?" ”
The meaning of this is very clear, Meng Jiancheng has been operating with his heart both on the battlefield and in the officialdom, Li Shi'an can find Meng Jiancheng's handle, doesn't Meng Jiancheng have the slightest bit of a fatal point about Li Shi'an? If not, it is estimated that Li Shi'an would have submitted the corruption contract between Meng Jiancheng and Shangguan Yan a long time ago, resulting in the death of Meng Jiancheng and Shangguan Yan!
Meng Jiancheng was silent, his eyes were either angry, surprised, or hesitant, but Mu Lingtian obviously knew the concerns in Meng Jiancheng's heart.
"Hou Ye doesn't have to worry, as long as Hou Ye's evidence is sufficient, except for his father, no one else can touch half of Hou Ye's cold hair."
Mu Lingtian didn't know that Li Shi'an was not enough to establish so many high-martial arts Deadpools, and there were even bigger figures behind him who had not yet appeared, only by giving Meng Jiancheng a certain guarantee, Meng Jiancheng could set off bigger waves without scruples, so that Li Shi'an could not turn over at all.
Meng Jiancheng was immediately overjoyed, hugged his fists at Mu Lingtian, and then the three of them talked about the next matters in detail.
Meng Jingwen was in the backyard at this time, looking down at the bustling night market below, under the moonlight and lights, the capital at night seemed to have a quiet beauty.
She watched quietly alone, the evening breeze blowing, there was the heat of the summer evening, and her thoughts were a little chaotic for a while.
Since she was reborn in this new world, it has been a while, during which she has experienced family intrigues, the undercurrents of imperial power, and the germination of love between men and women, which more or less caused Meng Jingwen's emotions for a while, but she can make it clear that since she was reborn in this world, she must do her best to fight for it, even if she is covered with bruises, she can't be weak and incompetent to be slaughtered!
"The capital at night is very beautiful, if it is accompanied by a pot of fine wine and a few side dishes, it is simply wonderful!" When Meng Jingwen's thoughts were fluttering, Sima Changan walked behind her with a smile, startling Meng Jingwen, Meng Jingwen turned around and glared at Sima Changan angrily.
"If you have food, Miss Ben will not pursue your faults." Meng Jingwen pretended to be angry, Sima Changan scratched his head and walked over with a smile, sat down with Meng Jingwen on a piece of grass, took out a few delicious dishes that had just been fried and a pot of daughter red from the vegetable box, and drank wine.
Meng Jingwen asked Sima Changan why he came out alone, this should not have finished talking to Meng Jiancheng about the specific content, Sima Changan said that it didn't matter to him, what mattered was what Mu Lingtian did, and Mu Lingtian himself could easily deal with it.
Meng Jingwen knew Mu Lingtian's ambitions, so she didn't think about it anymore, and looked down on the night scene of the capital with Sima Changan.
"Miss Jingwen seems to be really different from the rumors, but Chang'an can't understand the reason." After all, Sima Changan and Meng Jingwen can be regarded as acquaintances, so they expressed the doubts in their hearts.
Meng Jingwen was slightly surprised, but it was only fleeting, and she asked with a smile: "Then what does Sima Gongzi think is different about Miss Ben?" In other words, what was the Meng Jingwen that Sima Gongzi originally imagined? ”
"I can't tell, but it's not like the rumored waste, carefully told, it's a treasure."
Although Sima Changan was flamboyant, Meng Jingwen was not easily prevaricated by him, and asked: "The treasure can't afford it, but it's not a waste, Miss Ben said that a flash of inspiration is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't." ”
.......
Sima Changan was speechless for a while, how could he not know that Meng Jingwen was making fun of him, but he didn't care too much, and said a few words that were not painful, and it passed, until Meng Jiancheng came from the courtyard, Meng Jingwen knew that it was time to go, so he and Meng Jiancheng went back to the Hou Mansion, at this time it was already late at night, and many places in the Hou Mansion were lit with lanterns.
