Chapter 956: Bet

Until he walked into the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Meng Mingshu hadn't decided what kind of expression he should make, was he a helpless victim, or the heir of the Meng family who was still arrogant?

The people in the room, Meng Mingshu, basically recognized that when the Meng clan was prosperous, this was his family's circle, and it was also the top group of people in Biyu City, and now, they were a group of curious spectators, with rich emotions, ready to invest in the person who finally got a lot of wealth.

With a flash of his eyes, Meng Mingshu saw the Dragon King, he couldn't help but tremble, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he could only choose the role of the victim, he was weak and bullied, and he had to add a little grief and indignation, so he hugged his fists and threw his hands at everyone, and when it was Pang Jing's turn, he deliberately bent over.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Meng Mingshu spit out the first two words, and found that his voice was as calm and satisfied as before, and even the panic in his heart was reduced by more than half, "I invited everyone here in the face of the protector of the Western Regions Metropolitan Government, just for one thing - to seek justice for the Meng family." ”

Everyone pretended to be listening carefully, but Yu Guang swept towards the Dragon King as much as possible, wanting to see how the person who robbed the Meng family's wealth would react, only Pang Jing stared directly at the Dragon King unscrupulously, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, beside him, Luo Qikang lowered his head, and no one looked at him.

The Dragon King remained silent, Pang Jing admired this young man who was a few years younger than himself, and in the face of the sudden blow of the Meng family's heir, he could still remain calm, but the Dragon King's body leaned slightly to the left, still revealing a little surprise and a trace of vigilance in his heart.

Pang Jing took a step back and got closer to Luo Qikang, intellectually he believed that the Dragon King would not act rashly, but it was better to be careful.

Meng Mingshu was a little panicked again, no one answered in the lobby, not even the protector of the Western Regions did not squeak, this is not like the trap described by Lu Qiying, shouldn't the people of the Central Plains stand up and support themselves at this time? Meng Mingshu coughed twice, plucked up his courage and continued: "Everyone knows that nearly a year ago, the Meng family was martyred, my father was unfortunately killed, and the old mansion and treasury and the commercial houses and money houses in various parts of the Western Regions were robbed one after another. ”

Finally someone helped Meng Mingshu speak, Zhang Ji couldn't change the tone of Mr. Teaching, and there was a slight reprimand in his voice, "The adults of the Central Plains are here, and your Meng family can be regarded as having found someone to call the shots." ”

This sounded a little strange, but Meng Mingshu didn't care, and said loudly: "Exactly, without the Protector of the Western Regions, I wouldn't dare to pursue justice." ”

Pang Jing's gaze moved away from the Dragon King, "Second Prince Meng looks down on me, if it weren't for the temporary ownerlessness of Biyu City, the people of the Central Plains would not have come all the way to come, to be honest, I have always been worried that everyone thinks that the Central Plains is oppressive and nosy." ”

In the face of such a straightforward truth, the 30-odd leaders of Biyu City have refuted it, the Central Plains is the savior and source of stability of Biyu City, and hundreds of thousands of residents have been waiting for it for a long time, how can this be an idle matter?

Only a few cautiously did not speak out.

Showing his loyalty to the Central Plains delayed a little time, Meng Mingshu stood there embarrassed, never daring to look at the Dragon King.

Pang Jing felt that it was almost over, raised his hand to signal that everyone could shut up, and said kindly: "But I'm a little puzzled, I've been in Biyu City for a month, why did the Meng family think of giving me justice?"

"Because I'm always looking for clues and evidence. Meng Mingshu was steady, this was like the trap promised by Lu Qiying, not a one-man show.

"Meng Ergongzi has found the whereabouts of ** gold and silver?" someone asked, already having a premonition that a good show would be staged today, and he would seize a role in advance, and he might be rewarded afterwards.

"The gold and silver haven't been whereabouts yet, but I finally know who robbed the Meng family's things. Meng Mingshu had been brewing this sentence for a long time, so he spoke loudly, fully expressing the righteous indignation and awe-inspiring righteousness that a victim should have.

No one dared to ask who it was, even the person who wanted to please Meng and Zhongyuan ** the most, closed his mouth at this time, his eyes wandered, and he tried to stay away from the dragon king, ready to wait with a surprised expression.

"Who?" a voice sounded in the corner unexpectedly, and everyone's eyes turned at the same time, all wanting to see who was so reckless.

The lotus girl looked back, her eyes were indifferent, as if the cold winter of Biyu City was all left in it, and where she passed, the grass and trees withered.

Crazy, this impression in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, and no one dared to look at her.

Meng Mingshu was also frightened by this gaze, and after a while, he regained his courage, turned around, first told himself to stand firm on his legs, and then said to the eyes that were staring at the Dragon King, "Please return the property of the Meng family to the original owner." ”

This time, everyone's eyes could be generously looked at the Dragon King, and every face showed an impeccable expression of surprise, and there was even the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.

Shangguan Rushi couldn't help it, snorted and laughed, and hurriedly turned his head and pretended to cough.

The Dragon King didn't seem to hear Meng Mingshu's words, or maybe he didn't think of a way to deal with it, so he just stood with an expressionless face.

The first to question was Pang Jing, the protector of the Western Regions, and in a stern formal tone, "Meng Mingshu, I knew you wanted to seek justice, but I didn't know that you would come to such a hand, you accused the Dragon King of robbing your family's things, but don't you want to live?"

The more stern Pang Jing became, the more calm Meng Mingshu became, and gradually entered the role, pointed at the Dragon King, and said in an exaggerated voice: "Anyway, the Meng family has been ruined, it doesn't matter if I live or not, I just want to disclose the truth today, Dragon King, you dare to say ......"

The entourage brought by Gu Shenwei was Chu Nanping, who took a step forward from the Dragon King's side, pressing the hilt of the sword with his hand, Meng Mingshu was startled, hurriedly put down his fingers, and his tone began to drop, "Do you dare to say that the property of the Meng family is not in your hands?"

Gu Shenwei waved his hand lightly and motioned for Chu Nanping to step back, "The property of the Meng family is not in my hands. ”

Meng Mingshu was stunned for a moment, the Dragon King's denial was already in his expectation, but it was still a little strange to deny it so simply, he immediately understood that it was his own problem that had a loophole, "Yes, the property is not in your hands, you handed it over to others for collection." Didn't you order your subordinates to rob the Meng family of gold and silver in various places?"

"It's better for you to come up with the evidence directly, you can save a lot of time. Gu Shenwei said.

The dragon king's composure made the onlookers even more uneasy, and many people began to regret it, just thinking about the excitement, forgetting that the dragon king was a demon who killed people without blinking, and what kind of ban on killing would definitely not be able to control him.

"Evidence, yes, come up with evidence. Someone shouted, nodding solemnly to the dragon king, indicating that he was on his side.

"Wait. Pang Jing walked in front of Meng Mingshu, Luo Qikang didn't leave an inch, "Let's not talk about the evidence, Meng Mingshu, do you know who the Dragon King is?"

The current scene is more and more similar to Lu Qiying's description, Meng Mingshu even felt a trace of excitement, and the fear and guilt of betraying the Dragon King were swept away, "Of course I know, the Dragon King commands 10,000 dragon troops and 10,000 Shule** outside the city, and his power is strong, except for the Central Plains, no one can reach him." But since the Dragon King issued a ban on killing, I think he should be different from before. The justice that the Meng family wants is very simple, ask the Dragon King to return the property, that's all, nothing else. ”

Pang Jing sneered, "Don't say it's the Meng family, looking at the entire Western Regions, no one dares to pursue the Dragon King." ”

Meng Mingshu held his head high, his face full of determination and courage in a battle, "It stands to reason that even if the Dragon King wants my life, I don't dare to resist, but the property of the Meng family is not mine, it is accumulated by the ancestors of the past generations, and it can't just disappear in my hands without explanation." ”

"I understand your heartache, but you accuse the Dragon King like this, I can't accept it, the Central Plains is not so fair. ”

Pang Jing actually refused Meng Mingshu to show evidence, Gu Shenwei knew that he should stand up and strongly ask to see the evidence at this time, so as to show his innocence, but he just didn't move, as if the whole accusation had nothing to do with him.

Meng Mingshu waited for a while, and had to continue as planned, "Of course, the Dragon King can't be accused casually, but I can be regarded as a free man today, it's better to be like this, if I can't prove that the Dragon King has robbed the Meng family's property, I will give up the right of complete recourse from now on, and the Dragon King will find this property by any means in the future, and it will all belong to him." ”

It was not a dead end in front of him, Gu Shenwei had more evidence that he and Meng Mingshu planned the robbery together, strictly speaking, it was not a robbery at all, it was just a transfer to cover people's eyes, but he didn't want to be entangled, so he said: "That's good, you can show evidence." ”

Things went too smoothly, Meng Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Qiying's prophecy came true, the Dragon King did not dare to disclose the truth, because he wanted to monopolize the property, once the cause and effect were clarified, he would have to abide by the lie and return the property, Meng Mingshu believed that the Dragon King still wanted to turn defeat into victory at the last moment.

Pang Jing began to feel uneasy, but he still decided to continue, replaced his serious expression, and laughed, "It's good now, the accusation has become a bet, Meng Mingshu, you can hear clearly, if there is a little problem with your evidence, the property of the Meng family, no matter where it is hidden now, will all belong to the Dragon King in the future." ”

In the whole plan, Meng Mingshu was suspicious about this point, and he once asked Lu Qiying why he had to make such a bet, and the answer he got was: "It is impossible for the Central Plains people to openly stand on your side, you have to show impartiality." ”

That's it, it's too late to regret it, he has completely offended the Dragon King, and there is no room for recovery, "Please let the murderer named Gao Yang come out." ”

"Hey, it's obvious that you showed evidence, why is it my turn?" Pang Jing said in surprise.

"Gao Yang is only one of the witnesses, and I have a more important witness, and the two of them confronted each other, which can explain everything. ”

"Let's get your witnesses out first. ”

Meng Mingshu looked at the Dragon King, thinking that he could withstand those two cold gazes, he overestimated himself, and only lasted for a short while, then he turned his head and said loudly: "Duan Zihua, come in!"

The thin old man walked into the lobby and knelt in front of Meng Mingshu, his face as dead as ashes.

Many people recognize this as the old steward of the Meng family, who has been missing for a long time, and it is rumored that he and the Dragon King should cooperate with the outside world to steal the Meng family's wealth.

Gu Shenwei was still a little surprised in his heart, he thought that he had hidden Duan Zihua, but he didn't expect it to be dug up, and he didn't know anything about it in advance.
