Lu Chunyang and Mei Yi next to him were stunned when they said this, since ancient times, they have only heard of confiscating family property, and they have not heard of confiscating their identity and name. Lu Chunyang opened his mouth and stammered, and it took a long time before he said, "What does this mean, little marquis, why is my name no longer mine?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled coldly: "You don't accept it, don't you?" Then you go out and try it, tell others that this unlucky guy you are the pure yang son Lu Dongbin, and then explain what you did, and see if anyone believes you...... God has the virtue of a good life, and I also have the heart of the Tao, although you want to cheat me Jingwu Villa, but for the sake of the rivers and lakes, this will spare your life. ...... Zhang Guo, give this cat and dog a few dollars, let him roll down the mountain overnight, don't let me see it again!"

Someone outside agreed, Zhang Guo went down to the cellar, grabbed a few hangings of money from the ground and hung them around the man's neck, and carried him out like a chicken. Mei Yi sighed: "Young Master, I really convinced you, if I can't think of such a wonderful method anyway, but it seems superfluous to deal with Chunyangzi like this, although it is skillful. ”

Mei Zhenyi's face was indifferent: "Uncle Yi, you want to say that it is better to kill him, right? Since I have already let him live, I will not allow you to hunt down and kill this person again, unless he dares to call himself Lu Chunyang." ”

Mei Yi bowed and said, "Since the young master has orders, I naturally won't act without permission, but I don't understand a little, what does the young master mean by confiscating the name of Chunyangzi just now?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly and sighed: "Don't you understand, I have some feelings for this name, I don't want it to belong to that kind of small person, a good name...... Thinking of that Taoist priest, he was deceived and greedy for fame and profit, and now Chunyangzi is finally famous and admired by the people, but all this no longer belongs to him, this is the best punishment for this kind of scum in the rivers and lakes!"

Mei Yi: "The matter is over, young master should rest early, I will rush to Ningguo County overnight to find my uncle." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot, go quickly, don't tell your uncle too much, just do what we discussed." It's really hard Uncle Yi, I thank you for the Mei family!" he got up from the Hu bed and threw Mei Yi to the ground, and Mei Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help.

In the process of rescuing the baby from Chaotian Cave, there was an unexpected episode, but fortunately Mei Yi also went at that time, otherwise there would be big trouble. There are not only babies in the Chaotian Cave, but also a batch of stolen ordnance that Ming Chongyan has secretly hidden, Sun Simiao only cares about rescuing the child as soon as he enters the cave, Zhang Guo found that the ordnance was originally intended to be destroyed without leaving a trace, and it was at this time that Mei Yi arrived.

Mei Yi was once from the military and was very familiar with ordnance, so he deliberately took a few more looks and found that something was wrong. This is a batch of heavy armor and iron-tired bronze machine hard, belonging to the equipment of the heavy cavalry army, Wuzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the water network and the river beach are dense, and it is not suitable for heavy riding and galloping, how can such a batch of things appear? Looking at the ordnance on it, there are also the marks of the supervising craftsmen and the local state capital, which are the ordnance of the Shanggong Imperial Court ordered by various localities, from Ningguo County, and he immediately thought that Mei Zhenyi's uncle was the Cangdu of Ningguo County.

Losing the tribute materials, and it is also a heavy cavalry ordnance prohibited by the people, the relevant officials are all guilty of killing their heads! At the moment, Zhang Guo explained that he was very powerful, and both of them broke out in a cold sweat, and it was difficult to report to the state capital, so they could only go and ask Liu Zhi in private what was the situation? Mei Yi rushed to Ningguo County overnight, and Liu Zhi was already so anxious that he was about to hang himself and wipe his neck!

Ming Chongyan was very hidden in stealing things, and it was not until a few days later that Ningguo County found that this batch of ordnance was missing when he counted the warehouse. No one in the know dared to tell the matter, because the relevant responsible persons were all guilty, so they could only look around secretly without any clues. Seeing that this batch of ordnance has reached the time limit for being ordered to be transported to Luoyang, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to hide it.

When Mei Yi arrived at Liufu in Ningguo County, the sky was just dawning, and Liu Zhi, who had red eyes and fluffy hair, was about to go out, and met Mei Yi head-on, like grabbing a life-saving straw, he grabbed him and dragged him to a no-man's land in the inner courtyard, and said with a slashed face: "Mei Zhuangshi, you came just in time, I know that your martial arts are superb and come and go, can you help me find a batch of things secretly?" This is to save my family's life!"

Mei Yi understood as soon as he heard it, leaned over and whispered a few words, Liu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, grabbed Mei Yi's clothes and said, "Thank God, you are really our life-saving star in Ningguo County!"

Mei Yi: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, quietly transport things back, I still have one more thing to entrust you." ”

Liu Zhi looked excited: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to pour the Liu family." ”

Mei Yi whispered: "May I ask when to pay tribute to the imperial court for this batch of ordnance, when will it be delivered, and who will escort it?"

Liu Zhi: "It was supposed to be packed and set off tomorrow, but I couldn't find anything, and now it's easy to know the whereabouts." When it is transported to the Luoyang Ministry of Industry for delivery, I will be responsible for escorting it. ”

Mei Yi nodded: "Then I will entrust you to do one thing, bring me with me, I also have to bring something mixed in the ordnance, it must be kept absolutely secret and cannot be checked by anyone, I will leave with something before I arrive in Luoyang." ”

Liu Zhi nodded immediately: "Okay, there is absolutely no problem." What is it?"

Mei Yi: "It's a big box, less than 200 catties, you can't ask what is inside, in short, just send me and the box not far from Luoyang." ”

"In that case, I won't ask, I'm sure I can do it, and no one but you and I will know. Liu Zhi made a guarantee on the spot.

What did Mei Yi whisper to Liu Zhi, and what did he want to smuggle? It's a bit complicated to say. He told Liu Zhi that there was a well-known thing that happened in Wuzhou, that is, a demon stole the baby's evil cultivation method, was killed by the immortal master, and the baby was saved. Mei Yi was also present when he rescued the baby with the master, and found a batch of ordnance hidden in the Demon Cave Mansion, which actually had the mark of Ningguo County, so he came to ask about the situation overnight, and happened to meet Liu Zhi who was also worried about this matter.

According to him, it was obvious that the scorpion demon had stolen the ordnance, and as for what a monster wanted these things for, it was impossible to say that the scorpion demon was dead anyway. These are all explained by Mei Zhenyi, not that he doesn't trust his uncle, but it's not a good thing to know the inside story about things like this.

As for what Mei Yi wants to smuggle, it is Ming Chongyan's corpse. Mei Zhenyi thought about it again and again, and always felt that Ming Chongyan, an important minister in the court, couldn't just disappear so inexplicably, if this was the case, the court would definitely send people to investigate, and all the clues would not be let go, maybe some master would find Wuzhou. No one is sure whether Ming Chongyan mentioned his whereabouts to others before he came to Wuzhou? It is better to give a public account of Ming Chongyan's whereabouts.

So Mei Zhenyi thought of the police and gangster movies she saw before the crossing, and after the criminals killed people, they often threw corpses in different places to fake the scene, misleading the police to check the wrong direction. According to the actual plot speculation in many film and television dramas, even old rivers and lakes like Mei Zhenyi think that the police can't find out the facts of the case, if it weren't for the screenwriter's insistence on letting the police solve the case in order to take care of the main theme. He thought of throwing Ming Chongyan's body far away between Chang'an and Luoyang, and making the scene where he was killed by bandits on the way back to Luoyang.

It's very easy to figure out a way, but how can you throw the corpse over? There are many checkpoints along the way from Wuzhou to Luoyang, and the goods carried by pedestrians must be checked, let alone bring a corpse? Simply passing through the wild road to bypass the checkpoint was both inconvenient and dangerous in those days, and some sections were impossible to bypass at all, unless you were a flying immortal.

There is only one safest and most secure way, and that is to hide in the military supplies of the local tribute court. Of course, there is no need to pay taxes for this kind of thing to pass through the checkpoints, and except for the place of departure and delivery, there is no right to check the checkpoints along the way, and you can't even touch it. At that time, there were officials who took advantage of this convenient condition to privately clip goods to avoid taxes, which can be regarded as ancient smuggling, and Liu Zhi has also done this kind of thing, and of course there is no problem with being familiar with the road. The idea of transporting the corpse like this was thought up by Mei Yi for the young master, because he knew the doorway, and it was very convenient to find Liu Zhi to deal with the matter, and he was also mixed in the escort team.

Mei Yi asked Liu Zhi to send people to the outskirts of Wuzhou, secretly transported this batch of ordnance back to Ningguo County, and immediately loaded the car and set off for the north, only one day later than the original departure time. The officials in Ningguo County, who knew the inside story and didn't dare to speak, finally breathed a sigh of relief, touched the head of the person on the neck, and could go home for dinner, this matter was secret, and no one dared to say more. Mei Yi, who recovered the supplies, became everyone's life-saving benefactor, and he was grateful in private, so he didn't mention it for the time being.

At this time, the New Year is approaching, and the materials must be transported to the eastern capital Luoyang before the New Year, so this road is moving very fast. After the half-frozen Yellow River, he traveled to a wilderness, and seeing that there was no one along the way, Mei Yi quietly left the escort convoy with the big box. The wild road crossed the mountains and mountains, rushed to the official road between Chang'an and Luoyang, opened the sealed box in a mountain forest, threw Ming Chongyan's somewhat smelly body not far from the road, disguised the scene of the theft and killing, and quickly left, and found a hidden place to burn the box without leaving a trace.

Then Mei Yi went straight to Chang'an, and he suddenly returned to Chang'an without even a letter in advance, which surprised Mei Xiaolang and thought that something had happened in Wuzhou. The master and servant talked secretly for a long time in the study, and the next day Mei Yi hurriedly left Chang'an and returned to Wuzhou. There was no letter this time, and the Hou Ye asked Mei Yi to bring three sentences to his son: the first sentence was - Ming Chongyan's matter was rotten in the stomach, and no one should mention it again, but if there is kindness, it should be set up as a shrine for Luxue. The second sentence is - my son is so anxious and wise, my father is very relieved, and he asks Sun Lao Immortal for advice in Wuzhou. The third sentence is - the Taoist priest's book should be well kept, and it may be useful in case of a major change.

The first two sentences are easy to understand, but what does the last sentence mean? In ancient times, there was no Internet, no photography technology, and the book represented the identity of a Taoist priest but there was no photo or portrait, and whoever held it in his hand if there was no flaw was anyone's, as long as others did not know him before, they could not think of going out of their way to track him down. Ming Chongyan's actions made Mei Xiaolang's heart tremble, and he thought that if there was any more trouble, he could let his henchmen disguise themselves as Taoist Lu Chunyang, and Mei Zhenyi pretended to be a little boy next to the Taoist priest, so that he could leave Wuzhou to avoid trouble, and it was also a self-protection plan just in case.

In addition to these three sentences, Mei Xiaolang also told Mei Yi to do one thing, but don't tell Mei Zhenyi. That is, after returning to Wuzhou, he found that Taoist priest Lu Chunyang and quietly killed him! Mei Zhenyi was willing to spare this person's life, but Mei Xiaolang still wanted to kill him, and the father and son had different ideas. After Mei Yi rushed back to Wuzhou, the unlucky Taoist priest had already run away, and this matter was not done.

In the study that night, Mei Xiaolang heard about the plan decided by Mei Zhenyi, Mei Yi and others to throw away the corpse, and said with a long sigh: "Mei Yi, after all, you are not an official in the court, I don't know the complexity of the situation, and Teng'er is a child after all, no matter how smart he is, he can't understand too much, as soon as you throw the corpse like this, the implication will be great!"

Mei Yi asked in surprise: "How can it be more implicated, can we still trace our Mei family?"

Mei Xiaolang: "Alas, don't talk about the Mei family, the position of the prince's East Palace is difficult to protect in front of you, if you don't believe it, you just wait and see!"

Mei Yi was even more surprised: "The person was not killed by the prince, how could it be found on the head of the East Palace?"

Mei Xiaolang: "That Ming Chongyan is a warlock, and he has obtained a high position for the minions of the Empress Wu, how could he frame me for no reason? ”

Mei Yi: "You mean the queen wants to make trouble for the Mei family?"

Mei Xiaolang: "I'm afraid it's not the Mei family, it's the prince, and the queen is dissatisfied with the prince's court, and there have been rumors for a long time." His Majesty did not return to the east, leaving the prince in Chang'an, and I stayed in Chang'an among the courtiers, if you want to make a fuss in Beijing, it is natural to think of pulling me into the water. That Ming Chongyan is really vicious, you guys killed it well!"

Mei Yi: "Since there is such an implication, then I will rush back overnight and hide the corpse of the demon Dao, how does Master Hou think it should be better disposed of?"

Mei Xiaolang shook his head: "It's too late, I'm afraid that you will show your flaws when you rush back at this time, don't pay attention to the demon way, you better go back to Wuzhou, I will deal with the rest." ...... By the way, Teng'er has often mentioned me? It's a pity that he hasn't seen me as a father since he was born. ”

Mei Zhenyi has often missed his father? I really haven't seen him talk about it, maybe deep in his heart, it is difficult to associate with the concept of his father for this Hou Ye who has never met for a while. Mei Yi neither dared to lie nor provoke the feelings of father and son, so he only replied vaguely: "The young master has been awakened for less than two months, and he is too weak to travel far, I think that when he is well, he will definitely come to Chang'an to meet the Hou Ye immediately." This child is smart and well-behaved, and he will definitely be filial in the future. ”

Mei Xiaolang waved his hand: "I also want to see him early, but in this eventful time, don't let this kid be disturbed when he comes to Chang'an." Far away in Wuzhou and in danger of a catastrophe, he is really a person with many calamities and difficulties, this time you did a good job and saved Mei's family. I have to thank you, and thank my son. ”

The next day, Mei Yi left Chang'an, and Mei Xiaolang also sent two other henchmen, one went to Luoyang to deliver a letter to his father-in-law Pei Yan, and the other went north to the border pass barracks to report to Pei Xingjian, the chief of the Dingxiang Road march, these two surnamed Pei were the people closest to Mei Xiaolang in the court. I can't write a letter on this matter, I can only bring a message, to the effect that there is only one sentence, that is, the queen's intention to abolish the establishment has been decided, so that the two adults know it.

At present, the power of the court is in the hands of the queen, and the queen always has a way to cure the prince's crimes, unless the emperor immediately dies and the prince ascends the throne on the same day, or the prince rebels and stands on his own, which is impossible. As for which son Empress Wu wants to let inherit the throne, that is a family matter of the Li family, and Mei Xiaolang can't care too much. At this time, even the scheming Mei Xiaolang didn't expect that in fact, the queen was the emperor herself in her heart, and if you asked his son Mei Zhenyi, who had crossed over, she would understand.

It didn't take long for Ming Chongyan's body to be found by passers-by, and it was immediately reported to the government. Due to the cold weather, the corpse was not completely recognizable, and after the examination, it was found that the person had a fatal sword wound in his body, which was inserted from the back of the heart and penetrated through the chest, and all the belongings on the whole body were gone, leaving only a fish talisman representing the identity, which was actually the righteous doctor Ming Chongyan! Luoyang was repaid, and the emperor and queen were greatly furious, and ordered a strict investigation.

According to the scene, it was the robbers who met on the road and were killed, but the queen insisted that the prince instructed someone to do it, because Ming Chongyan had repeatedly pointed out that the prince's words and deeds were disorderly, and the prince not only did not repent but secretly resented, but also threatened to "punish the devil" after drinking. This time, Ming Chongyan was ordered by the queen to go to Chang'an to inspect the prince's behavior, and was killed on the way back.

Some people in the DPRK and China also questioned this case, and the servant Shi Di Renjie examined the body of Ming Chongyan with the officials of Dali Temple, and deduced that the time of death had been more than 10 days, and the side of the official road was probably not the first scene of the crime. Judging from the shape of the wound, this sword pierced the chest extremely sharply, the stubble on half of the sternum was as smooth as a mirror, but the internal organs were half shattered, and it was by no means the skill of ordinary bandits. Di Renjie thought that another master had killed Ming Chongyan, and threw his body here from afar to confuse people's eyes.
