Wan Ning went to Meng Mansion in the afternoon of the same day. She also thought about it, why would Lord Meng offend a high-ranking official for a dead person? Is it necessary for him to take this risk without being driven by profit?

He should feel that he has a good reason. Is it possible to bribe him? So what's the difference between this and my uncle?

I'm afraid it will be useless to bring any amount of gold and silver treasures. Master Zhiyang said that Master Meng hates forming a party for personal gain. In other words, he did not collude with his uncle, was not bribed by him, and did not speak ill of his father. Even his uncle can't get around him, so how can he be caught up by a little girl?

But why is Lord Meng in officialdom like this? Is it just because he is upright? I'm afraid not, he should have seen many evil deeds of his uncle a long time ago, and he is expected to be killed sooner or later.

Wan Ning felt that it was indeed too reckless to look for him now. But for the sake of his father, this should be regarded as an opportunity for Master Meng to be reinstated. And she believes in Zhiyang, since the master mentioned this person to her, then he is not an ordinary ordinary man.

When she arrived outside the Meng Mansion, the door of the mansion was not embarrassed and allowed her to enter the mansion.

At this time, Master Meng was tending to the flowers and plants in the backyard, and the little maid came to report: "Master, Miss Li is visiting." Say it's something important. ”

Master Meng knew that Wan Ning infiltrated the harem for Li Zhenghang, and it seemed that the emperor admired her a little, and gave her the palace, but she didn't have a name. Although the Li family is defeated, this woman cannot be neglected. Then he commanded, "Invite her to the study." ”

"Yes, sir."

Under the leadership of the little servant of the Meng Mansion, Wan Ning came to Lord Meng's study.

She looked around, and there were a lot of books in the room, but it was neat. When Master Meng saw her for the first time, he invited her to the study, which shows that she is frank and never hides.

I saw two lines of poetry excerpted by Master Meng on the desk - "Sijun is like a candle in the night, frying thousands of lines of tears." Just as he was carefully pondering the charm of these two poems, Master Meng came into the study.

Wan Ning immediately put down the paper with the verses written in her hand, bowed and said, "I've seen Master Meng." ”

"Miss Li doesn't have to be formal." He came to the desk and sat down, and it was easy to see the two lines of the poem he had copied, "Miss Li is very talented, she must have a deep understanding of this poem, right?" ”

"The interpretation of the poem, the younger generation does not dare to show it in front of you. But you don't write two lines of poetry for no reason, and you can see from this poem that adults are kind people and have a good personality. As a man, I can try to understand a woman's state of mind and mind. Mrs. Meng is really blessed. ”

Master Meng thought that Wan Ning could realize that it was already okay at this level. Of course, there is a deeper level, this poem was written by Lord Chen, and reading his poems is not also currying favor with Shangguan?

"You're not just here to compliment your officials, are you?"

"Your Excellency, you are wise, and the juniors have something important to ask for today. Adults must know about my father. His killer was recently punished, but the matter is far from over. Not long after his father's death, Lord Gao Junming bribed officials to impeach him in order to plunder the Li family's property, and finally the Li family was raided, and his father became a sinner under Jiuquan. Father, he can't even look dead in the eye. Your Excellency, you are of high moral character, and I am sure that my father was wronged and did not participate in them, and the younger generation has thanked you in advance. ”

"You don't have to thank you. What if I don't participate? It will not change the course of events in the slightest. Your father isn't ...... yet."

"My lord, heaven is unfair, the younger generation came today to ask Lord Meng to come forward to expose Uncle Gao, he formed a party for personal gain, sold official positions, and accepted bribes, all of which are serious crimes. Presumably, many officials and even the emperor know this-"

Wan Ning's words were immediately interrupted by Master Meng: "Miss Li, please be careful!" ”

Then, Wan Ning said in a low voice: "The junior knows that he is wrong. The younger generation just wanted to get justice for his father too much, and asked Master Meng for forgiveness. Didn't Ling Qianjin also sacrifice herself for the fate of the family? ”

Master Meng leaned forward: "What?" Has your relationship with the young master of the Gao family deteriorated? ”

"Master Meng, you are like a god, the Li family and the Gao family will not form a family. She was only married to the adopted daughter of the Li family, and my father had long since denied her. ”

The official just asked casually. The business of the two of you will not dictate my decision. ”

"Master Meng, you are wise and decisive, I believe you will make accurate judgments."

Wan Ning saw that Master Meng was hesitant, and immediately knelt down: "Ask Lord Meng." ”

"Miss Li, get up."

"If the adults don't agree, the juniors won't be able to kneel."

"Why do you bother? Don't rush something like this. ”

"Master Meng, Wan Ning believes that you will not use the procrastination trick on the juniors."

The two were at a stalemate, and at this time, they could faintly hear the sound of talking not far from the study.

"Miss, you're back."

"Is the master at home?"

"At home, Miss Li is here. Are you talking to the master in the study? ”

Wan Ning didn't expect that the young lady in her mouth was Meng Jingyao, and she didn't bother to ask about outside affairs. She added, "You don't have to take any chances if it's not good at all." But Lord Meng, now the emperor also understands how to treat the Gao family, maybe this incident can make you reinstated. The poem on your table was written by Lord Chen, which shows that both adults firmly support the emperor and will not be ignorant of the emperor's meaning. The emperor values the young master of the Gao family, and he will not let the father and son of the Gao family all hold important positions in the court. ”

Master Meng knew Wanning's good intentions for her father's rehabilitation. Of course, the emperor has the final say in employing people, and she has the final say, but she serves in front of the emperor and knows the emperor's thoughts, and her words can be listened to. It's better to promise her now, and then take a step at a time.

Master Meng was thinking about it, when Meng Jingyao suddenly came in: "Father, you can promise Wanning." ”

"Why are you back?"

"Come back and see you! As soon as I came back, I saw that you still let Wanning kneel here. You just promise her, it's not a difficult thing. ”

"You're too young and a little arrogant. This kind of thing has to be weighed. The Gao family is now powerful and powerful, how dare this official compete with the Gao family. Even if we have the emperor's support, we have to think twice before acting. Even if the emperor really intends to weaken the power of the Gao family, the most important thing for us is to have evidence, otherwise, it will become a slander. ”

When Meng Jingyao and Wan Ning heard this, they both showed sad faces to varying degrees. And Master Meng's face was still as calm as water, and after a while, he said, "Yao'er, you help Miss Li up." ”

Meng Jingyao took three steps and made two steps in front of Wan Ning: "Wan Ning, you get up quickly, my father agreed." ”

"Miss Li, get up, I promise you. But as I said before, this is not a trivial matter, and you should provide stronger evidence. ”

Wan Ning got up and said, "Juniors obey orders." ”
