Chapter 58: Decide to act
Xiongba had an edict, and when he was young, Meng Tan and his nephew Wei were invited to see together. Xiongba's face was as cold as ice, and when he saw his uncle and nephew, he couldn't help but sneer at first.
"Since you left the day before yesterday, what are you doing when you come back?"
Meng Tan saw that Xiongba's anger had not subsided, and immediately eased his attitude.
"When I went back the day before yesterday, I thought carefully about what the young man said. Meng Tan replied: "Today, I have come to ask the Lord for his guilt and decided to conspire with the Lord for great things. ”
"Hehe~ Your Excellency has figured it out. Cangqiong smiled indifferently: "The hall master is really a fast-talking person, since we have the same idea now, please sit down." ”
"Wait. Xiongba scolded angrily, and then stood up and said angrily: "I was suspicious of me the day before yesterday, and now I am here to make trouble." Now that I don't want to conspire with people like you, I can go as quickly as possible, and be foolish and loyal to Honghuaihui and Huan Hao, and I will seek revenge for Mr. Xiao Yu by myself. ”
Without waiting for Meng Tan's response and justification, he sent someone to expel his uncle and nephew from the mansion.
The uncle and nephew were reprimanded inexplicably, and they were both very unhappy in their hearts. Wei Yan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh at this time.
"What are you sighing about?"
Meng Tan asked angrily.
"Alas~ The Nalan family really meant it, but now they don't want to believe us. Now that the cooperation has failed, what should we do?"
"Hmph~" Meng Tan snorted and said angrily: "They are arrogant and arrogant, and they undoubtedly regard us as mediocre talents, thinking that the person who has done the thing must be their Nalan family." Now I don't believe it, is it not possible that without the help of their Nalan family, Meng Tan alone is destined to be unable to achieve great things? They don't cooperate with me, but I want to show them, and now I can avenge my old friend Mr. Xiao alone. ”
As soon as Meng Tan said this, Wei Yu was immediately shocked.
"This must not be done. Wei Yu hurriedly comforted: "Now that there is no strong foreign aid, my uncle must not act rashly, otherwise it is not a joke to harm the whole family." ”
Meng Tan was angry in his heart, and now he heard Wei Yin's words, and he was even more angry.
"Hmph~ If you are cowardly, you can run away early, and you will be affected when you fail. ”
After that, he got on the saddle and galloped away, leaving only Wei Yu with a light sigh.
"Alas~ It's a pity that my uncle died on the eve of the day. ”
Wei Yinzi knew that Meng Tan had an impulsive personality, and since he said it, he must do it. Thinking of the crisis he was about to face, he secretly carried Meng Tan behind his back that night and took his mother and his family to run away from him.
said that Xiongba bombarded Meng Tan according to the firmament's plan, but his heart was full of uneasiness. He walked around in place and was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help but cast his doubtful gaze on the sky not far away, which was still smiling and sitting steadily.
"Qiong'er, do you think what I said?"
"Exactly. ”
Cangqiong nodded with a smile, still looking relaxed at this time.
"Alas~ I'm just afraid that my words will be too radical, and Meng Tanna will tell Huan Hao about the matter, so won't my Nalan family be in danger?"
"Father, don't worry, it won't. While Cangqiong said this, he couldn't help but stand up and stretch his waist: "Today, Meng Tan came here to conspire with his father to avenge Mr. Xiao Yu." Father, if you do not drive him away, then you will surely conspire with him. Thinking that although Huan Hao is tyrannical at the moment, there are still many loyal ministers in the Honghuai Society, and it is not good for us to participate in the design of him at this time. If you really plot with Meng Tan, it will be okay at that time. If the matter is revealed, my father and son will inevitably be implicated, and then I will bring disaster to the Nalan family. ”
"So ......"
"So instead of really working with him, it's better to design and provoke him to figure it out on his own. At that time, if it succeeds, then Huan Hao will die, and my Nalan family will have a chance; if it fails, then Meng Tan will die and get rid of one of Huan Hao's arms. But no matter whether it succeeds or fails, this matter has nothing to do with my Nalan family. ”
"I see. ”
Xiongba suddenly realized, and then nodded towards the sky with a smile.
Although Xiongba was relieved, there was a situation on Meng Tan's side. Meng Tan went home, but the next day he disappeared his nephew Wei Yu and the people of his Wei family, and they couldn't help but be very unhappy.
"Hmph~ I wanted him to go, but he really left. Meng Tan was a little angry, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "This kid is cowardly, it will be difficult to achieve great things after all." It's good to be gone now!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but "hum", and then gathered the henchmen and guests in the mansion together to discuss the major matter of plotting against Huan Hao.
While discussing the matter, Meng Tan also sent people to contact many friends in the association who had a strong relationship with him and told them the truth. These people were either once favored by Xiao Yu, or they were dissatisfied after Huan Hao ascended the throne and were persecuted by Fanke. Now that they have received Meng Tan's call, these people are all indignant. Everyone promised to make an appointment, and the replies also made Meng Tan feel very pleased.
"In this case, we will make an appointment to assassinate Huan Hao on the fifth day of the third month to avenge Mr. Xiao Yu. ”
Meng Tan informed the people who agreed to the alliance, and at the same time, they formed an alliance with everyone and made a blood letter to sign their names. There are nearly 100 people in this shili, and everyone swore an oath to rebel and kill Huan Hao.
Meng Tan has a rough temperament, and although the rebellion was leaked outside, he did not hide it from the people in his family. Among the servants in the house, there is a man named Zou Gui. is loyal to Meng Tan on the surface, but his actual identity is one of the henchmen that Huan Hao planted many years ago in order to guard against his own doorman. Meng Tan was careless, not only did he not know the identity of this person, but he also trusted him. As for plotting against him, Meng Tan did not hide anything from him.
Zou Gui heard about this from other family members in the house, and then asked Meng Tan about it while drinking that night. Meng Tan was not wary of him, and immediately gave his Jihua and Pan out. Zou Gui nodded, and then smiled.
"What do you think of me?"
Meng Tan was drunk and couldn't help but ask.
"What the hall master has done is very good. Huan Hao is brutal, and he should have been eliminated early. ”
Although he said so, he took advantage of Meng Tan's drunkenness to steal the letter of the Huimeng and took the opportunity to fly to report to Huan Hao. Huan Hao was shocked when he heard everything, his eyes were hideous, and he almost gritted his steel teeth.
"I expected that this thief would jump off the wall sooner or later. Today is as expected!"
Huan Hao said this, and then sent someone to invite Fanke overnight. When Fanke arrived, Huan Hao handed him the letter of the People's Alliance and told him everything.
"The traitor plotted to kill me, so what can I do?"
Huan Hao asked, and at the same time his eyes were fixed on Fan Ke.
"Don't panic, Lord, but a small group of traitors can't be a big deal. ”
Pan Ke smiled indifferently, and his heart was even more happy. Thinking that Meng Tan was Huan Hao's confidant, Pan Ke was jealous that he could get rid of him, but he didn't have any handle in his hand for a while, and he could take his life. Once wanted to use the crime of misplacing Xiao Yu's second son to order Huan Hao to kill Meng Tan, but this Jihua was undoubtedly stopped by Zhu Bin. Now that Huan Hao is the only one by his side, the opportunity to get rid of Meng Tan has finally arrived, and I wonder how he could miss such a good opportunity.
