Chapter 32: The Emperor Comes

Xiao Mengchang sighed: "You and I, how are they not the same." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoI just ran to the capital and indulged in sensuality. As for you, what kind of cases are you investigating by your temperament, and how much you have managed your father? Besides, my father was only ostracized by the traitors of the court, and your father was not hurt much more than my father. ”

Meng Yu was also stunned, he felt for the first time that there were some things that Xiao Mengshi could see more clearly than himself. However, he couldn't take care of any of the major affairs of the family and the country, so he had to indulge in detectives, and he was much better than Xiao Mengshi.

Everyone was speechless for a while, but Jiang Luping, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said slowly: "The wind is blowing." ”

The two couldn't help but look to the northwest, only to see a stream of yellow sand smoke and dust in the distance, blowing towards them like a mountain and a sea, and there was no place where heaven and earth met in the distance, but a gray color in the sky.

Meng Yu said solemnly: "Get on the horse, there are still many things waiting for us!"

Several men flew on their horses and whipped away. The yellow sand and smoke behind them also chased them, instantly obscuring the figures of the three people, and also obscuring the surrounding trees and rocks. For a while, the sky was covered with the sun, the yellow sand was pervasive, and the desolate Beiyan was no longer able to see his five fingers.

After entering the early summer, the wind and sand in Xiyuzhou are significantly smaller.

These days, the emperor's visit has excited the people of Xizhou, and the streets and alleys are talking.

After all, since the beginning of the dynasty, Xiyuzhou, an important town in the north, has never been visited by the emperor in person.

The best thing is that the emperor gave Shang Fang's sword to Lord Meng, and the edict "came in person".

However, there is still a real difference between this and the real "Ru I come in person".

Before, just as Meng Yu was worried, Meng Dingguo felt that the emperor came to Xiyuzhou inexplicably this time, not only to have a lot of financial and material resources to build a palace for the emperor and receive various matters. Moreover, it is a moment of tension with Beiyan, and the emperor is here, which will inevitably arouse Beiyan's vigilance.

Therefore, Meng Dingguo went to the excerpt, and he also joined forces with Xiao Zhengyi to advise the emperor. However, Meng Dingguo's nephew emperor, I don't know which tendon is really misplaced, and insists on coming. And what to say: "Since the beginning of the dynasty, there has been no emperor in Xiyuzhou." This pilgrimage is only for the benefit of the people. In addition, Beiyan has been in trouble for a long time in my dynasty, and the saint bowed down in person, which is to worry about the rivers and mountains and the people of Li, and pray for the prosperity of our dynasty for all generations. ”

Therefore, in order to welcome the emperor who cares about the fortunes of the country, Xiyuzhou not only built a palace, but also extravagantly reorganized the streets, repaired the old houses, vacated the inns and halls, padbed the loess floor, and poured clean water on the streets. In addition, they also set up recruitment places and gathered all kinds of people who needed them: servants, cooks, craftsmen, musicians, maiko, and court maids, and the government also sent people to train them. For a while, the miasma of black smoke was also very lively.

When Meng Yu returned home, he hurriedly took Jiang Luping to meet his parents, settled it, hurriedly changed his clothes, hurriedly went out again, and went straight to Xiao's mansion.

The porter saw that the eldest son of the Meng family was coming, and claimed that he wanted to find the eldest son of the Xiao family, and he did not dare to slack off. Hurriedly passed it on.

Xiao Mengshi didn't expect Meng Yu to come to him so quickly, and soon rushed to the gate of Xiao Mansion to pick him up.

The place is different from time to time, and when the two people clasp their fists and salute each other, there is a sense of strangeness. Meng Yu followed Xiao Mengshi to his study, Xiao Mengshi ordered Yahuan to serve tea, Meng Yu waited for the little Yahuan to go out, and hurriedly asked him: "Brother Xiao, has you ever gone to find Han Zhengjie's whereabouts?"

Xiao Mengshi sighed: "How can you not find it." Not to mention that he still has secrets on him. In fact, his return is very dangerous, and if he doesn't do it, he will be killed. ”

Meng Yu said: "I didn't think I would lose at the time, but I thought that I shouldn't go with Hua'er to send Sha safely first, so I didn't stop them." The top priority now is to find Han Zhengjie, I don't think he will leave Xiyuzhou. ”

Xiao Mengshi said: "On the way back, I have already sent someone to find it, in addition to Xiyuzhou, I also sent a ticket to chase the capital, and the results are not optimistic at present." ”

Meng Yu said: "Brother Xiao said so, that may not be optimistic." If someone wants to kill him, he can't wait for us to come back to him. ”

Three days later, Han Zhengjie's body was found outside the city of Xiyuzhou, and he was still fatally killed by a knife. Xiao Mengshi and Meng Yu arrived, but this time, even Xiao Mengshi still couldn't see which knife technique the knife edge was.

Xiao Mengshi looked at Han Zhengjie's corpse with a gloomy face, and said to his opponent for a while: "Go buy a good coffin, wait for the government to inspect it, and send it back to the capital in plain clothes." Put away his knife and go with him. ”

Meng Yu didn't make a sound. In Beiyan, he felt that Han Zhengjie had to die, but the masked man might kill him, and Xiao Mengshi was not without reason. But masked people are a little more likely. He took Han Zhengjie back to Xiyuzhou, thinking that he wanted to learn from him about the scene with Meng Yu and his party, and then kill people. And with Xiao Mengshi's trust in Han Zhengjie, if he is involved in this case, he will definitely make Han Zhengjie his arm, and Han Zhengjie does things for the masked man, Xiao Mengshi should not be completely aware of it. Otherwise, the mark would not have been concealed for him.

The two of them returned to the city of Xiyuzhou, and when they returned to their respective prefectures, they had no more words, but the case was even more confusing.

And the emperor finally arrived. Supervisor Meng Dingguo and Governor Xiao Zhengyi greeted the Holy Driver for 200 miles, and accompanied the emperor and queen to Xiyuzhou. Civil and military officials also knelt at the newly renovated city gate.

The little emperor was already in his thirties, but he still didn't dare to be stubborn. He was restless on the road, and after a while, the eunuch came over to summon Meng Dingguo, who was driving: "Lord Meng, the emperor invites you to ride the dragon together." Meng Dingguo and Xiao Zhengyi looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help frowning.

Since I was almost poisoned by this nephew's design, the heart that has loved my sister, the only bloodline, for many years has been cold. Five years ago, if it weren't for the state affairs, the little emperor knelt down to ask for guilt, and with Meng Dingguo's heart, he would never have gone out of the mountain again.

And now, he is only focused on state affairs, and he has regarded the emperor as an iceman, and he only feels a chill in his heart after three feet. But at this moment, he couldn't give the emperor a stage in front of the public, so he had to jump off the horse, throw the reins to his entourage, and board the emperor's luxurious carriage wrapped in yellow brocade.

When the emperor saw his uncle, he was very affectionate, and personally put a soft satin cushion for him. Meng Dingguo confessed, and only then did he sit side by side with the emperor.

The emperor said: "I haven't seen my uncle for two years, and I really miss it very much." ”

Meng Dingguo said secretly in his heart: "Under the care of your kid back then, didn't you almost see Lao Tzu forever, why do you miss it?"

said on his lips: "Let the emperor worry, the minister is really scared." ”

The emperor put his arms around Meng Dingguo's neck, and Meng Dingguo immediately got goosebumps.
