Chapter 13: Borrowing the Way (2)
"Liu Aiting, you come back! Liu Aiting, I want to see you! Meng Han'an's cry lingered in the mansion for a long time, and Su Qing felt that they were very pitiful when he heard it, but the dragonfly had told him not to let people out, so he could only put away his thoughts.
On the fifth day, the discussion about Situ Hong and others in the city gradually stopped, and Dragonfly decided to go to Situ Hong again.
When I went out, I saw Yun Feng in a snow-white robe.
"I heard that you left someone from Shaxuemen as a guest?" Yun Bong asked her.
"So Lord Yun came to Xingshi to ask about the sin?" Dragonfly asked defiantly.
"You know I'm not."
"Then what is Lord Yun doing here?" Dragonfly asked with a white look.
"Hanyun has been poisoned and needs urgent treatment."
"Hanyun...... It's a kind call, who is she? Dragonfly asked with gossip on her face, not only was she not jealous, but she was also very excited, and Yun Feng couldn't help frowning.
"Why do you ......" Yun Feng considered the wording for a while, and found that it was not appropriate to ask, so he simply didn't ask.
"What am I?"
"Nothing."
Dragonfly thought for a moment and said, "You came here specifically for her, is she your good match?" Sha Xuemen is entrusted by you to protect them? How long have you known each other? ”
Dragonfly's series of questions, Yun Feng didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't answer. On the way to the cell, the dragonfly kept pestering Yun Feng to ask.
"You hypocrite, Meng Hanyun looks very beautiful, when will you get married?"
"The more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, I have a marriage contract with you for a long time, how can I have entanglements with others." Yun Bong denied.
"I can give way, do you really like her?"
"She's the daughter of Lord Meng."
"Which Lord Meng?" Dragonfly asked.
"How many adults do you know have the surname Meng?"
"Meng ......" Dragonfly thought for a while and blurted out: "The prefect's surname is Meng ...... Eminent?! ”
No wonder Meng Hanan knew about her, and said that her father often mentioned her.
"They...... They ......"
"They are the orphans of Lord Meng." Yun Bong replied.
"Orphans, orphans......" Dragonfly glared at Yun Feng in disbelief, "When I went with Uncle Qing last month, Master Meng was fine......
She really couldn't accept that a person with a strong body and who was chatting with her not long ago was suddenly gone.
"He has no medical history, and among his peers, whether it is the mental head or the body bones, he is relatively good, how can he suddenly ...... And, and such a big thing......"
The dragonfly grabbed Yun Feng violently, and asked with red eyes: "He was killed by someone, and Meng Han'an's poison was also placed by that person, Meng Hanyun wanted to rob his sister and take revenge after being settled?" ”
"Just one point, Lord Meng died to save Meng Hanyun, he led the poison to himself and died." Yun Bong corrected.
Dragonfly felt her brain buzzing, she wanted to ask what poison, why it was poisoned, and how to detoxify it without other means, but she found that she could guess most of the things she wanted to ask.
"When?" Thousands of languages, reduced to just one sentence.
"Five days ago."
5 days ago......
In such a short period of time, a prefect died, and one of his two daughters was poisoned unresolved, and the other tried to take revenge.
"At that time, we had just arrived in Changyang County." Dragonfly said. But she soon found that the time was not right, judging by the wear and tear of the horseshoe, not only did it take five days to travel, but also the time to deliver the letter was simply not enough.
"This is a letter sent by the Meng Governor's Mansion two months ago. I originally planned to send you back to Shenglong to deal with this matter again, but I didn't expect ......" Yun Feng blamed himself very much.
The dragonfly took a look, and Master Meng said that he found that in recent days, the county orders of several counties were not quite right, and some subtleties of walking, sitting and lying looked like a different person, hoping that Yun Feng could come to check.
Dragonfly returned the letter to Yun Bong, took out a token and threw it to him, and ran away in a hurry.
When he went to the county office, Meng Hanan was fighting with Su Qing, and there were a group of people standing around who were embarrassed, and when they saw a dragonfly, they were like seeing a savior, and immediately got out of the way.
"Stop!" The dragonfly shouted to the two men who were tangled together.
"Liu Aiting, you bastard, I'll fight with you!" Meng Hanan saw her coming, and turned to attack her. It should have guessed that Dragonfly was helping Shaxuemen's people to send them away.
"I'll help you!"
When the silver sword was three inches away from him, the dragonfly said loudly. Seeing that the silver sword was about to be stabbed, Meng Hanan deflected the sword and cut off a strand of dragonfly's hair.
Dragonfly breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said, "Thank you, sister, for believing in me." ”
"We haven't gotten along before, but my father believes in your abilities." Meng Han'an said.
"Tell me about what happened during this time, Lord Meng is generous and merciful, he doesn't deserve to die, especially, to die in this way!" Dragonfly said hatefully.
Seeing her indignant appearance, Meng Hanan knew that her father had not seen the wrong person. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and when I entered the house, I told everything about it.
Five months ago, Meng Shaotian sent an invitation to the county magistrates of each county to routinely assign tasks at the beginning of the year and evaluate the previous year's political achievements.
After Meng Shaotian talked with them, he found that there were two county orders, and they often stuttered when they chatted, and they stammered even more when they talked about some things that several people had done together.
After waiting for people to go back, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, a person's state would change in a short period of time, but his personality would not. So he secretly investigated these two people, and sure enough, he found out what was unusual.
In the letter that Meng Shaotian obtained, it was written that the two went home to visit their parents during the Chinese New Year, encountered robbers on the way, and lived at home for a few days after being rescued, so they hurriedly returned to Rendi. After that, he did not go out of the house, and rarely interacted with outsiders until he sent a letter of invitation.
If it was just one person's experience, Meng Shaotian would not pay attention, but if both of them were like this, it would be a little intriguing.
He wrote what he found into two letters, one for King Huai'an and one for Yun Feng. King Huai'an's letter sank into the sea, but Yun Feng's letter arrived on time.
"What's going on with Hanyun?" Dragonfly asked.
"I was sick with Hanyun and entered the Lianhua Palace early. This year, Lianhua Palace held a martial arts conference, and I couldn't move together because of things. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Hanan was full of guilt and regret.
"If I had gone back with her, it wouldn't have been like this......"
"Sister An, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." Dragonfly comforted her.
"How are you going to check?"
Dragonfly can faintly feel that there is a lot of involvement behind it, whether she can find out the people behind it, and whether she can move the people behind the scenes is still unknown, so she simply picks up the two sisters like Yun Feng.
"Sister An, the top priority is to send Sister Yun to detoxify, this case has me and Lord Shaoqing, you don't have to worry about it." Dragonfly persuaded her.
Meng Hanan looked at Meng Hanyun, who was staring blankly on the side, his eyes were full of pity.
"Are they credible?"
"Credible."
As if he had made a lot of determination, Meng Hanan held the dragonfly's hand, his face full of gratitude and sorrow.
"Sister, my father's business, please. I'm willing to go with them. ”
After settling the two sisters of the Meng family and sending away the carriage of Shaxuemen, Dragonfly was very entangled in her heart.
Meng Shaotian's matter, whether she wants to meddle or not, what if she can't get out of the whole body and compensate herself.
Even the prefect dares to kill people, she is a small catcher in the county government......
"Master Meng's business, I will give him justice." Yun Feng's words sounded beside him, and Dragonfly couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.
She found that although Yun Feng was born in the imperial capital with surging undercurrents, he had a sincere heart, not like a son from an official family who was comfortable in the officialdom, but there were some chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes.
This person is the complete opposite of her. Family background, living conditions, character, pursuits. are all different.
"Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to chase, since I have made a promise, I will stop if I die."
It turned out that he thought I didn't trust him.
Dragonfly smiled and said, "Lord Yun is a gentleman like no other, how could I not believe you?" It's just that if one day, you find that what you are guarding is a little different from what you imagined, and it requires you to pay a great price, what will you do? ”
Yun Feng thought about the dragonfly very seriously, and said for a long time: "After Yun Mou was three years old, he was fortunate to worship General Shi as his teacher, and traveled with him to the frontier, and saw countless people displaced by wars and power struggles. What Yun is guarding is the people of Yin Shang, and as for the price paid, no matter what you do, there will be a price......"
Listening to his heartfelt remarks, Dragonfly's heart continued to sink. She knew very well that she and Yun Bong were not fellow travelers.
"Since I am fortunate to be happy, why bother with personal gains and losses?"
The dragonfly looked at him, watching his face constantly overlap with the other, eventually merging.
It turns out that what he wants to protect in his heart is the people, what about that person? Is it the same as him?
Are you too narrow-minded?
"Master Yun, let's go, let's go to Chongzhou to have a look."
"This should have been my own business, but now, I have to wronged you to join me." Yun Bong said apologetically.
In the distance, there are mountains and mountains, and there are clouds and mist on the high mountains, as if there are immortals in formation.
Two horses galloped on the official road, kicking up puffs of dust, and behind them, Qinghe County, which was getting farther and farther away, was almost none.
The dragonfly looked at the distant mountains and mountains, and there was an indescribable emotion in her heart.
"Do you know, when I was a child, I especially wanted to leave Qinghe County and go somewhere else, but now that I really want to leave, I am very reluctant."
"It's normal for a wanderer to miss his hometown when he's away from home." Yun Feng echoed.
"Do you feel homesick too?" The dragonfly tilted its head to look at him.
"I left home when I was very young, and later, after General Shi was imprisoned, I traveled and studied with the wine fairy, and home was a little strange to me."
"Are you close to your family?"
"Close?" Yun Feng thought for a long time, "My family is different from those big families, and our parents don't have so many constraints on us. ”
