Chapter Forty-Nine: Entering the City and Encountering Investigations
And the masked man had already bled profusely, and the other was also injured and could no longer be chased. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The group galloped back to the gate of Xiyuzhou City, Meng Yu handed over the investigation token issued by the emperor, and then he was completely powerless, and reluctantly said to Xiao Mengshi: "Good guy, I only have half a life left!" Brother Xiao, you should bring Sha and his father and daughter to your house to be safe." ”
Xiao Mengshi reined in his horse: "Thank you so much Meng Gongzi, I estimate that you don't even have half a life now, let Shaoyan take you back to the house quickly." He turned to Hou Lingshan and said, "Hou Ye come with me, in case something happens, there is a helper." ”
Meng Yu couldn't breathe: "Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
As soon as his words fell, Ying Shaoyan had already whipped up and rushed towards the Meng Mansion. He estimated that Meng Yu's injury today must have worsened.
Xiao Mengshi watched the two of them go away, and then said to Hou Lingshan sullenly, "Let's go too." ”
Ying Shaoyan's horse was galloping, and seeing that he had seen the gate of Meng's mansion, Meng Yu suddenly shouted: "It's not right!"
Ying Shaoyan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Yu seemed to remember something: "Now that the emperor is stationed in Xiyu Prefecture, there must be the emperor's people patrolling at night." There are forces that collude with the masked men here. Xiao Mengshi didn't have a case investigation token, and he would be in big trouble if he encountered it. ”
Ying Shaoyan said: "I will send you into the house, you give me the token, and I will go to them." ”
Meng Yu hurriedly said: "It's too late, if they want to have an accident, they are on the way back to the governor's mansion, you quickly take me to catch up and see if they have returned home safely." ”
Ying Shaoyan saw that Meng Yu's face was pale, and hesitated for a moment, but he still slammed the whip and rushed towards the Xiao Mansion.
In fact, Xiao Mengshi did run into trouble. He took Hou Lingshan and Sha Bu should have just entered the city gate and walked not far towards Xiao Mansion to fight horses. Because the night was quiet and sparsely populated, the sound of horses' hooves on the road was heard far away in the night. At this time, they saw a team of people and horses also walking towards them.
Xiao Mengshi knew that it was a guard patrolling at night, but he thought it would be his father's subordinates, so he didn't care, just stopped the horse and planned to go over with a hello.
Who knew that this group of men and horses was Li Zhongyi, the leader of the emperor's guards, with his own escort army.
This time, when the emperor came to Xiyuzhou, he was already sensitive to the fact that Meng Dingguo and Xiao Zhengyi would join forces to hinder his interference in the military affairs of Xiyuzhou. Therefore, he asked his own guard, Li Zhongyi, to escort him, and brought a lot of personal guards. It's just that as soon as he arrived in Xiyuzhou, he was emptied by Meng Dingguo, and all of them were replaced by Xiao Zhengyi's people, and told Li Zhongyi to have more fun and enjoy more in Xiyuzhou.
But because of the relationship between the emperor, Meng Dingguo and Xiao Zhengyi couldn't help but give Li Zhongyi some face, so if the emperor wanted to do something that was inconvenient for Meng Dingguo or Xiao Zhengyi to do, it would be convenient to send Li Zhongyi.
At this time, Li Zhongyi took his own pro-army to block Xiao Mengshi's way.
Xiao Mengshi has been in the capital for many years, and he knew that this Li Zhongyi was the emperor's confidant, so he said: "It's broken." I had to clasp my fists and salute: "General Li"
Li Zhongyi looked at Xiao Mengshi with a lot of amusement: "Young Master Xiao, it's the middle of the night." Look at the two people behind you, they don't look like people from the country. Do you know that now that the emperor is in Xiyuzhou, even if there are customs clearance documents, you can't wander around the streets at this time. ”
Xiao Mengshi smiled: "General, this is not the grass people." Xiyuzhou is located at the border, of course, there are more aliens, but today it is the grass people who take the world out of the city to see the moonlight, if there are any violations, please bear with the general. ”
Li Zhongyi also smiled gloomily: "Young Master Xiao, this world friend of yours is the person we are looking for, I'm afraid Xiao Gongzi doesn't know yet." Can you give it to me?"
Xiao Mengshi had already seen that Li Zhongyi had bad intentions, so he sneered: "General, Xiao was originally a grass person, and he didn't dare to collide with the general." It's just that this Mr. Sha should be Xiao's future father-in-law, he is not from the country, and he doesn't understand the rules of the country, and he hasn't broken the law, if he has anything, the general can talk to Xiao. ”
When Hou Lingshan looked at Xiao Meng in disbelief, he said in his heart, "This kid, the turn is too fast." ”
Li Zhongyi was also stunned. He had received a tip-off, and if the three men missed, he would block people at the city gates. And he knew that Meng Yu was seriously injured and probably couldn't go together, so he could use the reason that the emperor needed to step up the investigation at the city gate to check the night, and besides, Sha Buying's father and daughter were foreigners, and he had more reasons to take people. So when he met Xiao Meng, he took Sha Buying's father and daughter into the city together, he was very happy, and he also wanted to give Xiao Jia'an a crime to attack Xiao Zhengyi, but he didn't expect Xiao Mengshi to say this.
Li Zhongyi was stunned for a moment: "That's very rude." However, Sha should not have violated the laws of the dynasty, nor should he indulge in the law because of Xiao Gongzi. ”
Xiao Mengshi asked lightly: "Dare to ask which law of the dynasty Mr. Sha should not have violated?"
Li Zhongyi rolled his eyes and thought for a long time: "There is a reason for the incident, and he only found out after checking it." Besides, Xiao Gongzi is now a grass citizen, how can General Ben tell you first?"
Xiao Mengshi smiled again: "It's true that Xiao is a grass citizen, but the general has an official document that allows you to take someone from Xiyuzhou?"
Li Zhongyi was stunned again. But Xiao Mengshi is Xiao Zhengyi's son, and he can't use force, but when he has no plan, Xiao Mengshi said: "The general has no official documents, so the grass people ask for Sha Bu's father and daughter to be sure." When you have the paperwork, just go directly to Xiao Mou to ask someone!"
Li Zhongyi secretly screamed bad luck in his heart, he wanted to let them go, but as soon as Xiao Zhengyi intervened, he couldn't take it. Besides, how can I get the official documents, so I have to go to the emperor first to find a way.
He had no choice but to say, "Then their father and daughter will fall on Xiao Gongzi!"
At this moment, Meng Yu and Ying Shaoyan had already come on a flying horse, Meng Yu saw that Li Zhongyi was about to leave, and hurriedly shouted on the horse: "General Li, please stay!"
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but restrain the horse, and when he saw that it was Meng Yu, he knew that it was broken. Meng Yu said to Li Zhongyi: "General Li, Sha Buying's father and daughter are witnesses to my investigation, because it was too late, I asked Xiao Gongzi to send them to Xiao Mansion for questioning tomorrow." General Li left this matter alone. ”
Meng Yu didn't need to take out the token at all, because the emperor entrusted Meng Yu with carte blanche to investigate the case, but Li Zhongyi knew very well, and with Meng Yu's identity, Li Zhongyi was naturally jealous. And Meng Yu also understood that if he wasn't tougher, Li Zhongyi would still have illusions, so he simply said no words.
Li Zhongyi had no choice but to say: "Then Li has a lot of trouble, say goodbye!"
Xiao Mengshi saw that Meng Yu was not worried about them, so he went and returned. Hurriedly said: "Brother Meng Xian, your other half of your breath is almost gone!"
Meng Yu was angry when he heard this: "You're still joking, I really ...... No more!"
After saying that, he fell on his horse and fainted.
When the emperor saw that his guard commander had returned, he couldn't help but say: "Didn't you give Meng Yu full authority to deal with this matter, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhongyi hurriedly bowed: "Gongzi Meng and the Xiao family have been close recently, so they can't be trusted. ”
The emperor said coldly: "Jokes, I have arranged things, you can't trust them all when you worry about them?" In other words, you have to take care of it, don't you also do it a little smarter, don't let others find faults, why are you so stupid, it's not like it at all...... That who. ”
Li Zhongyi only said: "Yes." ”
The emperor couldn't help laughing again: "Xiao Mengshi said that Sha shouldn't be his future father-in-law?"
Li Zhongyi hurriedly replied: "He said this with red mouth and white teeth at the time. ”
The emperor laughed even harder, making Li Zhongyi puzzled: "Why is the emperor laughing?"
The emperor laughed and said, "When I heard a while ago that Lord Meng was going to marry his daughter to Xiao Meng, and now there is another father-in-law, isn't this very interesting?"
Li Zhongyi probably understood what the emperor meant, and said with a smile: "The emperor can find a way to take Miss Meng as a concubine?"
The emperor said angrily: "Don't say it!"
After that, he added: "Don't let others know that you and I are relatives, lest I be difficult to behave!"
Li Zhongyi hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yes!"
Li Zhongyi walked out of the hall, and when he touched his head, he was covered in cold sweat, and the clothes on his body were also soaked. He shook his head: "A companion is like a tiger." ”
He walked slowly along the west corridor to the hut where he was resting on duty, when a dark figure flashed and whispered in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "You have played today." Also, don't think that the emperor is acting ridiculous and is a fool. I don't know who is stupid. Li Zhongyi was startled, and just about to ask, the man suddenly disappeared without a trace.
