Pang Jing gently threw the gold nuggets up and down, and looked at them in front of him every two or three times, enjoying it, not like he was observing the clues above, but like he was calculating the results.

Meng Mingshu sat diagonally opposite, his gaze followed the gold nugget as above, as if he had been hypnotized, his expression was sluggish, and he had forgotten all the questions he had asked him.

The two have met several times, and in Pang Jing's mind, this is probably the process from strangeness to intimacy, so he is even more informal, one foot on the ground, the other foot on the chair, leaning back on the chair, suddenly grabbing the gold nugget, turning his head and laughing: "Old Meng, you haven't told me yet, is this gold your family?"

The title of "Old Meng" reminded Meng Mingshu of his father, and hurriedly replied: "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, I'm distracted, uh, it seems that this is indeed the Meng family, but it's ......."

"But what?"

"Don't hide your ......"

"Hey, why are you so polite? There are no outsiders in front of you, so it doesn't matter if you call me 'Xiao Pang' or 'Brother Pang'. ”

Meng Mingshu showed a flattered smile, but he opened his mouth to call "Brother Pang", this title is more general, "Don't hide it from Brother Pang, in the past two years, the Meng family has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and there is a thief in the family, so I am not sure if this gold belongs to my family, whether it was robbed or not, I am not sure." ”

Pang Jing was not annoyed by this perfunctory answer, but walked up to Meng Mingshu and patted him twice on the shoulder, "Anyway, this is an important clue, and I have already sent someone to investigate." You must know that it is not easy to get this piece of gold, the Tianshan Sect and the Protector Mansion are all eyeing me, fortunately, I went relatively quickly, and when I grabbed it, the heads of the two of them were not there, and no one dared to stop me, haha. ”

Brother Pang made a decision immediately, and Meng admired. ”

"Actually, I admire you even more, Lao Meng, you don't even have a family background, you are still so unhurried and impatient, not as anxious as an outsider, this calmness, I am really ashamed. ”

Meng Mingshu was shocked in his heart, and understood that he had gone a little too far, so he stood up on the ground, and slammed his right fist on his left palm, "Alas, Brother Pang, you don't know, why am I not in a hurry? I really even have the heart to commit suicide, but when I go underground, I don't have the face to see the faces of my father, grandparents and brothers, and now I just force my face to laugh, where does I get the 'calm'?"

Pang Jing was slightly surprised, "The Meng family was robbed, Brother Meng is the victim, even if you don't look around, you don't need to force a smile, what's the matter, are you still afraid of offending people?"

"This ...... Brother Pang and I hit it off at first sight, and Brother Pang is a noble person in the Central Plains, so I'll tell you directly. The water in this Biyu City is very deep, and the rules pursued are that big fish eat small fish, Meng is at best a medium fish, and it is naturally a big fish who dares to rob the Meng family. ”

"Hehe, a bunch of fish, tell me, who is the big fish in Biyu City?"

"I don't need to say that Brother Pang should know. ”

"The Dubu King and the Dragon King?"

"Exactly. ”

"Which one does Brother Meng suspect?"

Meng Mingshu expected that sooner or later there would be this day, but his heart was steady, and the desperate expression on his face was impeccable, and he whispered: "King Dubu." ”

"Jinpeng Castle has been friends with the Meng family for many years, and they are in-laws, how can Brother Meng suspect King Dubu?"

"In the past, Jinpeng Fort was a killer, and some things were inconvenient to be carried out publicly, so they were handed over to our Meng family to deal with, the cooperation was quite smooth, and the two sides were safe, but the Dubu King wanted to be the real king, and he made drastic cuts to reduce the killer, and he no longer needed to hide in the shadows, so he naturally thought that the Meng family was redundant. My father...... In fact, he died under the killer's knife more than a year ago, and Jinpeng Fort also sent an impostor to cover up people's eyes. The Meng family's things were said to have been robbed overnight, but in fact, I suspect that they have been almost transferred by Jinpeng Castle a long time ago, so I killed the impostor and created the illusion of robbery. ”

Meng Mingshu said these words in a low voice, there were reasonable speculations, and there was also deep indignation, and even he believed it a little.

Pang Jing obviously believed it, and kept nodding, "It makes sense, I'll just say, with the relationship between the Meng family and Jinpeng Castle, even if Brother Meng doesn't speak, King Dubu should take the initiative to administer justice for the Meng family, but the result is silent, as if he hasn't heard of the robbery." ”

Meng Mingshu sighed, "I'll just tell Brother Pang in private, I don't dare to ask for money, and I'll be content if I can keep my surname." ”

"Haha. Pang Jing laughed twice, pressed his right hand on Meng Mingshu's shoulder, and pondered for a moment, "Why don't you ask the Dragon King for help?" ”

"How dare you?" Meng Mingshu was so panicked that he seemed to hear the news that the sky was falling, "I live in Beicheng, just like living in the palm of King Dubu, every move is in the eyes of Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Well, I understand your concerns. If, I mean, if I can get the Dragon King to come forward and help you get back or snatch back the Meng family's wealth, what do you think?"

"Jinpeng Castle ......"

"What are you afraid of, if the Dragon King becomes the lord of the city, Beicheng will not be in the palm of the Dubu King's hands. ”

"Can the Dragon King definitely be the lord of the city?"

"So what if. ”

"That'...... That's for the best. ”

"But I think it doesn't matter if it's the Dragon King, or someone, as the city lord, he will definitely not help in vain, the Central Plains can exert some pressure, is Brother Meng willing to pay some price?"

Meng Mingshu suddenly came to his senses, Pang Jing said that he was actually making a request for himself, Meng Mingshu gritted his teeth, "Lost and regained, like a godsend, what price can I not pay? I am willing to donate half of my property to the people who help." ”

Leaving the Governor's Mansion, Meng Mingshu broke out in a cold sweat, got on the horse and galloped back to Bodhi Garden, the more he thought about it, the more he felt afraid, Pang Jing was scheming, pretending to be confused from beginning to end, and he knew something.

He desperately wanted to see the Dragon King, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only write a letter to Xiao Fengchai, implying his intentions.

Before the letter was finished, the servant came in and reported that Lu Qiying had asked to see him.

Meng Mingshu thought for a while before remembering the name Lu Qiying, knowing that he was a businessman who worked for the Dragon King, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly invited him into the study.

Lu Qiying is not what it used to be, he was the shopkeeper of the South Wall Tavern at the beginning, not to mention meeting the Meng family in the study of Bodhi Garden, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the gate, now he has the largest caravan in Biyu City, called Doujin, with the support of the Dragon King behind him, but the Meng family has fallen into a thousand holes.

Lu Qiying stood in the middle of the study, with her hands behind her back, looking left and right, looking full of emotion, and the first thing she said when she saw Meng Mingshu was: "This Bodhi Garden is not as good as it was at the beginning, and it needs to be rectified." ”

Meng Mingshu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this strange remark meant, "What do you think about Shopkeeper Lu's coming?"

Lu Qiying frowned slightly, now few people call him "shopkeeper" anymore, and they usually call him "Lu Lao", "I heard that there is a big hole under the Bodhi Garden, how did the Meng family deal with it?"

Lu Qiying was so arrogant, Meng Mingshu was stunned again, "It is blocked on all sides, and a few holes are dug in the middle, just wait for the river to thaw and drown." Uh, what the hell is going on with you?"

"Come and buy Bodhi Garden. ”

Meng Mingshu didn't react for a while, his mind turned a few corners, and he was suddenly furious, "Who sent you here? It's up to you, you're not qualified to live in the Bodhi Garden, get out of here for me now!"

Meng Mingshu became angry for the first time after becoming a parent, and suddenly it was like a flood breaking through the embankment, pouring out, leaving behind all the fears and fears of the past few months.

After being scolded for nearly a quarter of an hour, Lu Qiying didn't move, but smiled, "Okay, the servants outside should be almost able to hear it, Second Master Meng, let's get down to business." ”

Meng Mingshu's anger stopped abruptly, "You, you are...... Sent by the Dragon King?"

Lu Qiying shook her head, "I came on the orders of Mrs. Xiao. ”

"Fengchai?" Meng Mingshu still had a vague impression that Xiao Fengchai seemed to be at odds with Lu Qiying, how could he entrust him to meet him? Yu changed his tone, "That woman, let's break up......

"Hehe, Second Prince Meng is really cautious, fortunately I have a token. ”

Lu Qiying took out a jade pendant, and Meng Mingshu recognized it at a glance as a gift from himself to Xiao Fengchai, "You are really ...... Is there anything wrong with Feng Hai asking you to come?"

"Something, something. ”

Meng Mingshu still had anger in his heart, with an embarrassed look on his face, he walked to the door, looked out through the crack in the door for a while, and when he turned around, his expression returned to normal, "Say it." ”

"Second Prince Meng saw the gold nugget in the Governor's Mansion?"

"Hmm. ”

"Is it really the Meng family?"

"Yes. ”

"Has Second Prince Meng ever wondered how the gold nuggets came out?"

"I don't know, so to speak...... What does the Dragon King think?"

"I told you, I wasn't sent by the Dragon King. ”

When Meng Mingshu heard what was in his words, he immediately became vigilant, regretting that he had talked too much, and he shouldn't have taken the initiative to mention the Dragon King, "Don't just ask me, tell me what you mean first." ”

Lu Qiying smiled slightly, "What do I mean...... What Mrs. Xiao meant was that the robbery case had been calm, and the appearance of the gold nugget was not an accident, but someone deliberately arranged it to make the matter rise again, and there was a great mystery in it. ”

"What kind of mystery?" Meng Mingshu had always believed in Xiao Fengchai's judgment, but he really didn't have a good impression of Lu Qiying, and his voice was very cold.

Lu Qiying didn't seem to want to please Meng Ergongzi at all, but instead became reserved, paced back and forth in the study a few times, suddenly stopped, and said: "We all know that robbery is fake, it's just a scene, I'm afraid someone wants to make the fake drama real." ”

Meng Mingshu felt that his mind had been used up in the Ducheng Mansion, and he was puzzled by Lu Qiying's hints, and it took him a while to wake up, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and broke out in a cold sweat again, "You, you...... Feng Hai, who are you doing things for?"

"Qian, I do things for money, Mrs. Xiao is doing things for you, she regards you as her future destination, and she doesn't want you to be plotted by others for no reason. ”

Meng Mingshu sat down on the chair and muttered to himself: "The Dragon King wants to fake the show, does he want to get rid of me?"

"It's not just you, I'm afraid we who know won't be able to escape, Second Prince Meng, you have to prepare early, Mrs. Xiao is still counting on you." ”

"What can I do? Ask Dubu for help? He won't let me go. ”

"Alas, Second Prince Meng was smart and confused for a while, and Mrs. Xiao asked me to tell you that Biyu City is about to undergo drastic changes, and it doesn't matter who is the city lord, there is only one who is really in power. ”

"A native of the Central Plains, Pang Jing. Only then did Meng Mingshu understand whose palm he had come to this day.
