At night, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the originally calm Jinling River, and a lot of wind and waves were set off on the river in an instant. In a few moments, a miserable scream sounded on the quiet Jinling River, which woke up the birds that stayed in the trees on the shore, and they flew away with their wings in horror. Before they flew away, they glanced at the big ship on the river.

The terrible screams continued, coming from the big ship. Then I heard the sound of something being thrown into the river.

The miserable screams suddenly stopped, and then the sound of harp music and laughter from the big ship was heard.

Inside the ship, several people sat together, drinking wine and enjoying singing and dancing.

As Maihime danced, several men were committing violence against three people, and the creepy screams rang out again.

The musicians who were playing and dancing and the guests who were drinking and having fun didn't seem to hear the shrill screams. On the contrary, the terrible and frightening cries made their interest even higher, and the music and dance became more and more intense with the shrill cries. Guests laughed and drank with their glasses raised.

The screams stopped, and the men were silent. They were covered in blood, and then they were ruthlessly dragged away and thrown like dead dogs into the Jinling River, which could devour everything.

Suddenly, a few more people were escorted up, and they were the same people who had been thrown into the Jinling River before, cheering for tonight's guests.

The planks were stained red with blood, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire cabin, but the guests in the cabin were not disgusted at all, and the interest was still very high. Although the Rakki and the Dancing Girls had seen such a cruel and bloody scene for a long time, they could not remain indifferent, let alone be as elated as the guests. They endured the nausea of the smell of blood, forced their composure to continue to play music, and continued to dance. They knew in their hearts that if they swept away the guests, they would be like them.

The guests in the cabin are the most distinguished people in Jinling City. They are the people of the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, as well as the people of the four major families of Jinling City.

The person who sat on the top seat was a very young son. His appearance is extremely outstanding, and his skin is as white as jade when he is dressed in black. He bent his right leg, rested his right hand on the knee of his right leg, and held a wine glass in his hand, playing with it nonchalantly.

The screaming of the hatch of the ship stopped again, and the young man in black seemed to feel a little bored, and waved at Rakki and the dancers. They stopped, and then they didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly retreated.

The other guests stopped what they were doing and looked at the man in black.

The man in black stood up, straightened his sleeves, and then looked at the others, and said in an indifferent tone: "I'll go back first, you are free." ”

The others hurriedly stood up, ready to send the man in black. The man in black waved his hand at them, and they immediately stopped and stood in place to watch the man in black leave.

The man in black stepped out of the cabin and got into a small boat leaning against the side of the big ship. Soon, the boat was on the shore.

There was a carriage on the shore, and the Kuroko man got into it.

In the Great Zhou, horses are very precious. Ordinary people, and even many eunuchs, did not have horse-drawn carriages, so they went out to ride ox carts. People who can go out and take a carriage are rare in the capital.

After the man in black got into the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested himself. The people around him hesitated and whispered, "Young Master, Mr. Meng doesn't have a few days to live." ”

Hearing this, the man in black opened his eyes, just like the eyes of the Jinling River at night.

Seeing that the man in black didn't speak, the guard cautiously asked, "Young Master, what are we going to do?" ”

The man in black's usual cold eyes crossed a touch of sadness, but there was still no expression on his face.

"Prepare some supplements, and go to visit Mr. Meng tomorrow."

The guard replied respectfully, "Yes, young master." ”

The man in black closed his eyes again, and the guards were busy breathing lightly. When they got home, the guard woke up the man in black.

When he got home, the man in black asked the guards, "Ten princes, what did you do today?" ”

The guard replied respectfully: "The Tenth Prince and his people did not go out today, and they have been staying at Mr. Meng's house. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added, "In the past few days, the ten princes have not gone out. ”

The man in black listened and nodded slightly.

The guard hesitated and said, "Young Master, the Ten Princes are not to be afraid, there is no need to send people to monitor them. ”

The man in black bowed his head slightly and said, "Then let them withdraw." "Ever since the Tenth Prince came to Jinling, the man in black has sent someone to keep an eye on him.

Although the Ten Princes are not favored and cannot pose a threat to them, the man in black has always acted cautiously and has been secretly monitoring and guarding against the Ten Princes.

It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are right, and the Ten Princes do not pose any threat, so there is nothing to worry about.

The guards withdrew. After a few moments, he came back again.

"Young master, our people are all back."

The man in black didn't speak, and the guard retreated consciously.

At this time, in Mr. Meng's house, in Zhao Yao's room, he was reading a book.

The secret guard suddenly appeared in his room and said to him, "Your Highness, those who are watching over you have withdrawn. ”

When Zhao Yao heard this, he immediately put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the secret guard hidden in the dark, and said in surprise: "All gone, not a single one?" ”

"None of them will be left."

Zhao Yao asked, "Did your people follow?" ”

"I've followed."

"Won't be discovered?" As soon as Zhao Yao arrived in Jinling, he noticed that there were several groups of people spying on him, but when he arrived at Mr. Meng's place, there was only one group of people who had been secretly staring at him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, you will never be discovered by the other party." It's not that the dark guard is talking big, he's telling the truth. The four of them had been secretly protecting His Highness, but those who were watching on His Highness never found out. In this world, no one else will ever find out about them except the dragon guards.

"I'm going to see who's been watching me." Zhao Yao said to the dark guard hidden in the dark, "It's okay, you go down." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The secret guard quietly left Zhao Yao's house.

After a while, Tongxi walked in and reminded Zhao Yao that it was time to sleep.

"How is Old Meng, still hasn't woken up?"

"The slave maid just went to ask, but Meng Lao still hasn't woken up."

When Zhao Yao heard this, his mood became a little heavier, and a worried look appeared on his face.

"Meng Lao is only afraid of ......"

Seeing that Zhao Yao was sad, Tongxi hurriedly comforted him and said, "Your Highness, you are a human being, not a god, you can't save Meng Lao, you don't need to blame yourself." ”

"I know." Zhao Yao had long known that Mr. Meng's medicine was useless, and he had long known that Mr. Meng's time was short. In the past few days, Meng Lao has been in a coma for longer and longer, and the third uncle told him that Meng Lao has been in a coma for a few days. He was prepared, but he was still sad.

The next day, Zhao Yao woke up early. He went to Zheng Xilin first and had breakfast with him. Then, we went to visit Mr. Meng together.

Mr. Meng woke up at dawn for a while, drank medicine, ate some porridge, and fell asleep again not long after.

Looking at Mr. Meng, who was thin on the bed and only had bones left, Zhao Yao was very sad in his heart.

Zheng Xilin's heart was also uncomfortable, and he sat on the side of Mr. Meng's bed for a while, and then left with Zhao Yao.

Regarding Mr. Meng's funeral, Zheng Xilin and the housekeeper have already arranged it.

"After Meng Lao is gone, you will leave Jinling and go to Yangzhou to find your grandfather."

"Huh?" Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Xilin in astonishment, "Third Uncle, didn't you say before that I had something to do, why did you let me leave now?" ”

"Originally, you had something to do, but in today's situation, you can't do those things." Zheng Xilin said, "I will also go back then." ”

"Third uncle, why don't you go to Yangzhou with me?"

"Why did I go to Yangzhou with you?" Zheng Xilin glanced at Zhao Yao strangely, "When did I promise you to go to Yangzhou?" ”

"Third uncle, you and I finally ......"

Before Zhao Yao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Xilin: "I won't go to Yangzhou with you." ”

"Then after I go to Yangzhou, can I go to your house to find you?" Zhao Yao had already guessed that Zheng Xilin would not go to Yangzhou with him.

"We'll talk about it then." Zheng Xilin did not refuse Zhao Yao, but he did not directly agree to him. "After Meng Lao leaves, the bull ghosts, snakes, and gods in Jinling will come out, and you will only be involved in danger if you stay in Jinling."

"There's one thing I've never understood."

Zheng Xilin heard Zhao Yao say this and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?" ”

"Although Mr. Meng is a great Confucian, he has no real power, why are these cows, ghosts, gods and snakes in Jinling afraid of his old man?" This is something that Zhao Yao has never been able to understand, "How can these ghosts and ghosts in Jinling be afraid of Meng Lao?" "Even if you can't do anything to Mr. Meng on the surface, but secretly those people have all kinds of means to kill Mr. Meng.

"When Meng Lao returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, he helped the family in Jinling, and he was very kind to these people." Zheng Xilin sighed softly, and then said, "Also, don't underestimate the identity and status of the Great Confucian. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yao didn't understand the meaning of Zheng Xilin's last sentence.

"Meng Lao is the only Confucian in the world, if he has an accident in Jinling, do you think the scholars in the world will let go of these people in Jinling?" Zheng Xilin asked again, "Do you think your father will let them go?" ”

When Zhao Yao heard this, he instantly understood what Zheng Xilin meant.

"I see, I underestimated the status of Confucianism."

"He is the only great Confucian in the previous dynasty and the present dynasty, but now he is leaving, I really don't know...... "This is not a good thing for Da Zhou." By the way, it's best not to use the method you said earlier. ”

Zhao Yao asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

"You can't interfere in the imperial examination, otherwise you won't be able to go to Yangzhou."

"Okay, then I don't care." He has already told his father, and it depends on whether his father will adopt his opinion.

"You go pack up your books, and I'll see if there's anything else that's not ready." Zheng Xilin is talking about preparing for the future.

"Then I'll go." Mr. Meng gave Zhao Yao all his life's collection of books. In the past two days, Zhao Yao and his four brothers have been busy packing up and sorting out his old man's books.

Meng Laoxian lived for eighty or ninety years, and he collected a lot of books in his life. Zhao Yao and the others haven't finished sorting it out yet, but his preliminary estimate is that there are at least 10,000 copies.

After these books are sent to the capital, the imperial court will arrange for them to be printed, and they will be distributed to the students at that time.

At the same time, the king of Wei returned to the palace of the king of Wei.

Yu Hai brought a secret letter to the King of Wei.

After King Wei saw it, he sneered disdainfully: "Count him as acquaintances, he didn't stare at the tenth brother again, otherwise he would ......" His words were not finished, but his tone was gloomy and dangerous. "Those people in Jinling are really getting more and more rampant."
