Chapter 102: The Trap

The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense and depressed, Zhao Renxian observed Yu Zheng's expression, swallowed his saliva without a breath, and did not dare to come out.

Even if he was far away from Shangjing, he knew that the DPRK was divided into two factions: the princelings and the Jingwang party.

Obviously, Meng Jingfan is a princeling, and this statement clearly wants to take credit for the prince and fight for the prince's fame.

But how can King Jing be such a fool? What's more, everyone has already been there in person, and Meng Jingfan still wants to take the credit alone, which is simply pulling the tiger's whiskers from the tiger's mouth.

He's not afraid of death, he's still afraid!

After a tense confrontation for a moment, Meng Jingfan arched his hand and said: "The construction of the river embankment is dirty, and the workers are all vulgar people, so I am afraid that it will collide with the prince." ”

"Furthermore, the prince's status is precious, and his presence in the superintendent will make the workers panic, which is not conducive to things."

is worthy of being a courtier in front of the emperor, what he said is reasonable, beautiful and respectful, and Zhao Renxian admires it.

Sure enough, Yu Zheng's complexion softened when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Lord Meng is reasonable, but the construction of the river embankment was proposed by this king, and he came here in person, if there is a slight mistake, this king will not be able to escape the blame." ”

"And Master Meng has a lot of affairs, and there will always be times when he doesn't notice it. Just in case, let Lord Zhou assist Inspector Meng, and it will be foolproof. ”

"But Lord Zhou's martial arts are strong, and he was specially sent by the saint to protect the safety of the prince. If you leave the prince, then the safety of the prince ......" Meng Jingfan looked worried.

Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows: "This king has the protection of the guards, Master Meng doesn't have to worry." Moreover, Master Meng has an important position, and he is afraid that someone will harm him, and Lord Zhou can also protect Lord Meng with him. ”

"Thank you for your compassion to the lower officials." At this point, Meng Jingfan couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only give up his hands and thank you.

In the name of protection, surveillance is real, and Zhou Boxu doesn't have to do anything, so he can share half of the credit. This contest is, after all, a move by King Jing.

Zhou Boxu stood quietly aside, not saying a word from beginning to end, let alone being surprised, as if he had expected the ending.

"Since Lord Meng doesn't need the assistance of this king, then this king won't bother Lord Meng." After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he walked away without the slightest hesitation.

Meng Jingfan looked at Yu Zheng's dashing back and left, pursed his lips tightly, and his expression was complicated and indisputable.

He suspected that he had fallen into Yu Zheng's trap, but there was no evidence.

"Master Meng, what do you need to do?" Cho In-hyun also wanted to slip away.

Meng Jingfan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao has gathered the workers and started construction tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it." Zhao Renxian should go down.

Only Meng Jingfan and Zhou Boxu were left in the room, and the two of them stared at each other.

Meng Jingfan took a deep breath and said, "This is the official residence, the lower officials are very safe, Lord Zhou can go back to rest." ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired. Master Meng, let's start quickly, when I don't exist. Zhou Boxu dragged a chair to the corner and sat down, closing his eyes and resting.

Meng Jingfan glanced at him, sat down in front of the desk with a stomach full of anger, and planned the construction according to the drawings of the river embankment.

Nothing happened, and after Yu Zheng returned to the house, he asked Chaiyun to find the secret guard to understand Jiang Shu's movements.

Looking at Yu Zheng with a smile on his face, he scratched his head and asked, "Does the master really care about the construction of the river embankment?" ”

I don't understand that Yu Zheng has always put political affairs first, why is it so abnormal today?

Yu Zheng glanced at him, and the corners of his lips twitched: "Meng Jingfan is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and building river embankments is his duty and strength. I don't know anything but overseer, does it matter? ”

"He has the power to grab the credit, so if something goes wrong, he will be solely responsible, because he will definitely be extra cautious and dare not slack off and cut work."

"Besides, doesn't Lord Zhou stare at him? Don't forget, we're here for other things. ”

"The master is wise." After listening to the wind, the five bodies of admiration fell to the ground.

The sky was getting dark, and Yu Zheng stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, looking forward to chasing clouds to return sooner.

Protecting her safety is also one of the important things on his trip.

After sending off Shopkeeper Liu, Jiang Shu and Tan Yu went back to the inn for dinner.

Tan Yu puffed out his cheeks and asked while eating: "Boss, will we continue to visit the silk shop tomorrow?" ”

Jiang Shu swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head: "I heard that there is a Lingyin Temple in Lin'an Mansion that is particularly effective, and I want to go and worship." ”

"Does the owner want to ask the Buddha to bless the master?" Tan Yu is blessed to the soul.

"Well, there are also Niang and Jiang Ning, I hope they are all safe." Speaking of his family, Jiang Shu's face was soft and smiling.

Family is her weakness, and she is willing to do anything for them.

Early the next morning, Jiang Shu and Tan Yu took a few guards and rode to Lingyin Temple in a carriage.

Lingyin Temple is located in the direction of West Lake, the road up the mountain is very lively, there are horse-drawn carts and ox carts, and there are also people who carry incense and candles on foot.

There are those who talk in twos and threes, there are those who are alone with sad faces, there are those who have greedy desires, and there are those who enjoy the scenery along the way with calm faces......

No matter what kind of person he is, when he kneels down in front of the Buddha and prays, he is sincere and respectful.

Everyone knows in their hearts that the Buddha cannot bless the people in the world and cannot fulfill everyone's wishes.

But the worship in front of the Buddha can give people faith and hope, and can give people the strength to persevere when they are desperate and helpless, which is the true meaning of worshipping the Buddha.

The carriage drove to the mountain gate, Jiang Shu and Tan Yu got out of the car, carrying baskets full of incense and candles, looking up at the long stone steps, ready to go up.

However, they had not taken two steps, and as soon as they reached the stone steps, they were struck by a thin young man who came out of nowhere, and incense and candles were scattered on the ground.

Tan Yu hurriedly helped Jiang Shu steady, and his willow eyebrows were about to open his mouth to reprimand: "You ......"

"Ouch, my leg hurts, help!" As soon as Tan Yu spoke, the boy who hit them lay on the ground, holding his legs and crying loudly.

The master and servant were stunned for a moment, not understanding the situation for a while.

"Ouch, it hurts me......" The tattered and dirty boy howled louder and louder.

Tan Yu's eyes widened in disbelief: "The owner, it was clear that he hit us, we are all fine, how can he be fine?" ”

"So he's pretending, deliberately, trying to blackmail us." Jiang Shuxing's eyes looked at the young man on the ground calmly, thinking about what to do.

Xu was a thief with a weak heart, and the young man didn't dare to look at them, so he looked away and shouted.

"Come and see, I don't admit it, but it hurts me......" The teenager acted very realistically.

Jiang Shu sneered in his heart, and was about to speak when someone came over.

It was a beautiful young woman with a big belly, walking slowly with the support of her maidservant.

"You are a sloppy skin, you dare to slander people in front of Lingyin Temple, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"

The beautiful woman knew the teenager, and her tone was familiar with helpless reproach.

When the young man saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said indifferently: "If the Buddha is really spiritual, he should reward me with food, and he should not let me be starved to death." ”

When the beautiful woman heard this, she shook her head with pity, and ordered the maidservant to take a string of copper coins to him.

"Get up, this money is enough for you to eat for a few days."

The young man took the money, got up from the ground neatly, smiled at the beautiful woman and thanked him, and then quickly burrowed into the bushes next to him and disappeared.

Jiang Shu and Tan Yu were dumbfounded.
