Guo Shichao was stunned: "It won't affect my father and uncle, right?"

Meng Yu put down the green bamboo chopsticks and said thoughtfully: "Brother Guo Xian, walking in the rivers and lakes, you will inevitably experience dangers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoShuangfeng Villa has been standing for so many years, there must be a reason for it, but current events are unpredictable. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Yu said again: "Seven years ago, Jiang Chengtian's family, who made the same living as your family, do you know?"

Guo Shichao said: "I know." The Jiang family was also recognized by the imperial court as being able to manufacture weapons in large quantities. But seven years ago, his family escorted something important for the imperial court, and was severely injured by an unknown master on the road, and the things were also robbed. Jiang Chengtian was not only seriously injured but also lost all his martial arts, and his sister Lightning Knife Jiang Luping was also seriously injured, and she was unable to explain to the court afterwards. At that time, Jiang Zhan, the second son of his family, was studying art abroad, and rushed back after hearing about it, and never got involved in these businesses again, but turned to the business of silk and satin cloth, tea and spices, and the Jiang family has also suffered a lot of vitality since then. ”

How could Meng Yu not know. At that time, Jiang Zhan was learning art with him in the Huangshan Kusong monk, and his eight-year-old sister Meng Xue was also together. It was at that time that he received the news that his father had fallen into a coma after being poisoned by the emperor, and was subsequently abducted by an unknown killer. From then on, fifteen-year-old Meng Yu and his mother Ying Xiuling went to find their father together. Jiang Zhan was entrusted by Xiuling to send Meng Xue back to his grandmother's house, but was ambushed by a killer on the way, Jiang Zhan was seriously injured in his left arm to protect Meng Xue, and he was disabled for life in the future. At that time, Jiang Chengtian and Jiang Luping were also severely injured on the dart road, and the Jiang family was changed from then on.

Thinking of Jiang Zhan, Meng Yu's heart was very uncomfortable. When he was studying art in Huangshan, Jiang Zhan was even better to Meng Xue than Meng Yu was to his sister. I remember that Jiang Zhan liked to practice light skills the most, and often flew to the tree to pick fruits with Meng Xue in his arms. Meng Xue was naughty, sometimes deliberately let Jiang Zhan eat unripe fruits, what persimmons, peaches, apricots, all of them were not less, just to see Jiang Zhan's ridiculous appearance of being sour or astringent, Meng Xue giggled non-stop, Jiang Zhan knew that Meng Yu was naughty, but he always ate it without hesitation, and was so sour that he squeezed his eyebrows, Meng Xue clapped his hands and laughed even happier. At that time, Meng Yu thought, when Meng Xue grows up, I don't know which man can get used to her like Jiang Zhan.

His father, Meng Dingguo, later went out of the mountains again to supervise the division in Xiyuzhou to deal with the anti-Northern Yan. Mother Ying Xiuling specially wrote a letter to Jiang Zhan to come to Xiyuzhou to thank Meng Xue for saving Meng Xue back then. As a result, Meng Yu was not only painful because Jiang Zhan's left arm was disabled, but even more painful was that Meng Xue basically forgot about Jiang Zhan. Maybe she was too young back then, she still remembered that Jiang Zhan took her to play, and she also remembered that he was injured in order to save her. However, Meng Xue, who was almost fifteen years old, only expressed her gratitude to Jiang Zhan, and seemed to have no special concern. For Meng Xue, Jiang Zhan was already a stranger. Meng Yu knew Jiang Zhan's thoughts, and Ying Xiuling also intended to let the Jiang family propose. However, Jiang Zhan saw Meng Xue's attitude, and his family was already in the middle of the road, and he was already disheartened, so he left after staying for a few days. Meng Dingguo has nothing to do about this matter, the Jiang family and the Meng family were originally world friends, but Meng Dingguo himself was busy with court affairs, so he basically did not live in Jiangnan, so he did not have a deep relationship with the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family has been kind to their own family, they don't take the initiative to mention family affairs, and Meng Xue is so young, naturally no one mentions this matter for the time being, and as for saving people, they can be repaid in other ways.

Meng Yu put the wine glass on the table, sighed in his heart, but only said lightly: "Since ancient times, stepping on the edge of black and white has been very dangerous. Brother Guo Xian, you are still young, and it is best to have your own sense of proportion. In the past few decades, Shuangfeng Villa has been stable on the surface. However, recently, the court and even the rivers and lakes have begun to be unstable. Although Guo Xiandi is young, he has to keep his eyes open for the fate of Shuangfeng Villa. ”

Guo Shichao looked at Meng Yu and suddenly arched his hand and said, "Thank you Meng Gongzi for reminding me." ”

He knew in his heart that this Detective Meng obviously knew a lot of things that he didn't know. And Shuangfeng Villa must already be in some kind of unpredictable danger.

It was dark outside the window, and the two of them drank from afternoon to evening, and the dishes on the table also made the two young people eat. is the age when he can eat, full of wine and food, Meng Yu happily grabbed the silver and cashed, which made Guo Shichao even more favorable, who is thrifty and generous to his friends, which one doesn't like it. It turned out that this fish, a chicken, a leg of mutton, and a jar of wine cost more than three taels of silver, and the capital is really expensive. Meng Yu patted Guo Shichao's shoulder: "It's a pleasure to meet you today." ”

Then he walked away crookedly. Guo Shichao looked at Meng Yu's back and smiled, this Meng Detective is interesting!

"Cousin," the emperor sat on a dragon pier next to his desk and stretched his waist: "Since this matter has something to do with Beiyan and affects the deployment of defenses, shouldn't I personally go to Xiyuzhou to praise military affairs, so that your father can't be busy alone." ”

After speaking, he looked at Meng Yu with those strange and beautiful eyes and a little affectionate. Meng Yu shuddered. This emperor's cousin is indeed good-looking. The aunt who was about to ascend the throne of the Queen Mother but was assassinated by Ying Zhengyun was the first beauty of the dynasty, so the cousin of the aunt's only bloodline was also delicate, but she looked a little feminine. Moreover, the emperor ascended the throne at the age of ten, and he has not taken a concubine over the years, and he usually visits the palace maid at will, making a mess of the harem. Fortunately, the queen is very virtuous, and the emperor has a good relationship with the queen, and can still listen to the queen's advice.

Meng Yu replied: "The emperor's affairs are too big, and Meng Yu can't do it." Meng Yu is in a hurry to find Manager Liu now, and ask for a roster of eunuchs and palace maids, so that he can start from the inside. ”

The emperor glanced at Meng Yu twice: "Meng Yu, you really don't look like you are related to me, what are you doing, you are very restrained." ”

Meng Yu saw that the emperor was not angry, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The emperor travels, not like an ordinary Qincha. A move will involve a lot, not only will the defense forces of Xiyu Prefecture have to be transferred to arrange various matters for the emperor to be stationed, but I am afraid that it will also arouse the vigilance of Beiyan, and it will cause a big incident. ”

The emperor stood up and walked to Meng Yu's side, and pulled Meng Yu, who had not yet gotten up, up: "Cousin, you are really a condescending talent to be a spy." ”

Meng Yu almost took a step back, but he didn't dare, he just said: "The emperor has a good reputation, Meng Yu really only knows how to investigate the case." ”

Liu Cheng did not ascend the throne before the emperor, and the emperor's father was already the chief eunuch of the Chengwang Mansion when he was still the king. When Meng Yu's father, Meng Dingguo, lived in Chengwang's Mansion, because this manager Liu liked to hold a shelf and play a serious and official tone, he often teased him. Meng Yu rarely entered the palace, and he was even more unfamiliar with Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng knew that Meng Yu was Meng Dingguo's son, and felt that this young man with pursed lips and a quiet and mature man was really different from the naughty Meng Dingguo. However, Liu Cheng was always teased by Meng Dingguo at the beginning, so he was not angry with Meng Yu in his heart.

According to Meng Yu's request, Liu Cheng told him that this was the Xuanzheng Hall where the emperor handled official affairs, and there was a relatively small apse behind it, and some important edicts and documents were stored here. The defense map and defense change plan that were copied and transmitted to Beiyan were all here at the beginning. There is a smaller pavilion next to the Xuanzheng Palace, which is the place where the emperor rests. And after walking more than ten zhang away, it is the Yong'an Palace of the queen's mother. In addition to the Xuanzheng Palace, the emperor does not have a dormitory, and nominally shares Wan'an Palace with the queen. And if the emperor wants to go from the Xuanzheng Palace to the harem, he must pass through the Yong'an Palace of the queen's mother. This is the case with the ancestral system of the national dynasty, so as not to let the emperor indulge in the harem, which is not the first of its kind by the current emperor.

Liu Cheng pointed to a smaller palace side by side in Yong'an Palace: "Meng Gongzi probably doesn't know, the current Empress Dowager, when the Empress Dowager was still a king, it was in this palace that he got married, and this Jinghua Palace was originally used by the emperor and the queen to bathe and eat the Buddha." Later, because the emperor did not have a separate palace, this place was also sorted out and connected to the emperor's study. In this way, when dealing with the folds day and night, there is no need to be in the Xuanzheng Palace. ”

Meng Yu silently looked at Jinghua Palace, which was the place where her aunt and King Cheng got married. King Cheng did not ascend to the throne, and his aunt did not become the queen mother. Life is such a drama!

Liu Cheng dusted away, turned to Meng Yu and said, "The emperor sometimes takes official affairs back to the queen to handle it. Therefore, Xuanzheng Palace, Yong'an Palace, Jinghua Palace and Imperial Study, or on the way to these places, are places where it is possible to start. The emperor never brought official affairs to other places in the harem to deal with them, and this matter never went out of the Xuanzheng Hall to the front hall to discuss with the ministers, and every time he summoned a few close ministers to discuss in the Xuanzheng Palace. ”

Meng Yu smiled: "Manager Liu is really the person next to the emperor. ”

Liu Cheng shook the dust and smiled coldly: "The emperor also hid from the old slave before, but later the incident happened, and the emperor had no one to trust, so he confessed to the old slave to help the son." ”

Meng Yu looked at the palaces, trees, flowers, and rocks surrounded by red walls around the palace. It seems that as soon as you are trapped, everything loses its spirituality. But why are so many people dyed with blood and miserable lives in order to ascend to this throne?

Liu Cheng was about to take Meng Yu to see the list of eunuchs and palace maids, when he suddenly saw a phoenix chariot coming slowly, with a canopy on both sides like clouds, followed by two rows of palace female officials and palace maids. Liu Cheng whispered: "It's the queen's mother, hey, the emperor let you enter this place that is connected to the harem, and now you can't hide, come forward and see." ”

Liu Cheng took Meng Yu to the front and knelt down to pay respects, and the one who was holding the dust was a very old eunuch. Although it can't be compared to Liu Cheng, the grade is not low. He said to Liu Cheng: "Manager Liu, how can you bring outsiders into the harem?"

The noble and gorgeous phoenix chariot had also stopped. If in normal times, even if an unofficial man outside the palace ventured into the palace to rush into the queen, at least Meng Yu's life would be gone.

Liu Cheng was not nervous, after all, he was the chief eunuch in charge of the emperor's side, and he came for a reason, so he smiled and said: "Hui Niangniang, this is the emperor's cousin Meng Yu, and Gonggong Hu also knows." The emperor authorized it, but he shouldn't have collided with Feng Jia. ”

A gentle and good-sounding voice suddenly came from the phoenix, but there was a hint of solemnity: "It's Lord Meng's son, call him here." ”
