Chapter 85: What is the stake?
Xiao Mengshi said lightly: "I need money." After the end of my career in the www.biquge.info army, although I haven't known you for a long time, you should know that a man's energy must always have a place to be released. Of course it's not beauty, it's not martial arts, it's not wine, those are not enough ......"
Meng Yu shook his head helplessly: "But do you know, Du Yuying has now entered the palace and is being favored by the emperor......"
Xiao Mengshi put down the wine glass abruptly, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why did she enter the palace?"
Meng Yu replied with some hesitation: "I didn't have a chance to meet her alone, and I didn't talk to her. As far as I know, it was she who pooled the money to bribe Wu Yueqing, a female official next to the emperor, so that she was able to wait by the emperor's side, and then she was favored by the emperor. ”
Xiao Mengshi clenched the wine glass in his hand, and Meng Yu saw that the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed.
Meng Yu continued: "After she became the emperor's close maid, she changed her name to Du Yueying, because the word 'moon' among the maids around the emperor is 'moon'. Before I came out, I heard that she had been canonized as Concubine Hui. ”
Xiao Mengshi put the wine glass on the table: "Why is this happening!"
Meng Yu said: "How much do you pay attention to her?
Xiao Mengshi and Meng Yu hadn't drunk at this time, he stared at Meng Yu: "After she sent me a letter through Dianxiu, I went to her and asked her to sell flowers well, and I would be fine." She refused to listen and cried profusely. ”
Xiao Mengshi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "I, I promised her at the time that I would destroy everything, and from then on I would only do business seriously and help my father take care of the family's affairs." ”
Meng Yu looked at Xiao Meng: "She believes it?"
Xiao Mengshi exhaled deeply: "I don't know." She was an ordinary flower girl, I didn't love her, I hadn't paid attention to her before, and I didn't have to promise her anything. But...... Anyway, I don't know why my heart was very soft when she cried, so I made a solemn promise to her. Before saying goodbye, I picked out some precious flower seeds and plants and asked her to keep them for Meng Xue. I paid her money in advance, and she refused to accept it when she died, so I told her that it was to spend money, and said that I was going to talk to Meng Xue about the marriage contract after all. She said she understood, and I said don't shirk the money. And she took it. Presumably, it is still the palace relationship that is opened up with this money. ”
Xiao Mengshi shook his head again and again: "Why? Why is she!
He picked up his glass, filled himself, and poured it down.
Meng Yu said: "You must get out of things now, so that she may be able to live a stable life in the palace in the future." If you do something out of the ordinary, she must deal with you in front of the emperor, and she is just a little girl, in case she angers the emperor......"
Xiao Mengshi's face turned pale, and he said after a while: "Meng Yu, don't you understand, I have been entangled by those people? They are not only framing me, from the murder of the Crouching Tiger Gang at the beginning, to the trip to Beiyan, and then to returning to Xiyuzhou. They want to kill you, but they want to frame me, and maybe when their true colors are revealed in the end, they will be able to clear my name. But at that time, maybe I would have been brought to justice, and you would have been assassinated. ”
Meng Yu's eyebrows jumped: "Don't say it so scary! I still want to live for two more days!"
Xiao Mengshi said: "You are a well-known detective, with a good reputation, an innocent net worth, and a deep background. As for me, a defeated general, a broken family. ”
When he said this, his eyes were already full of grief and indignation, and even overflowed with tears, but he held back the tears.
"Master Meng is willing to marry Meng Xue to me, he is really the most respected person in my life. In fact, I myself knew that I was not worthy of Meng Xue, everything was wishful thinking, but at that moment, I actually felt that it was possible to be with her, and that was the happiest time in my life. However......"
He lowered his head: "Happiness is really so short-lived, you can't even lie to me more." ”
Seeing his decadent appearance, Meng Yu also felt sorry for him: "Can you stop what you shouldn't be doing, go back to Xiyuzhou, help Lord Xiao well, and think about what to do later?"
Xiao Mengshi smiled faintly: "I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just wanted to plan a future for myself, why can't you tolerate me?"
Meng Yu said: "But secretly hiding weapons is a big crime of killing, once the emperor knows about it, Lord Xiao's official position will not be able to be kept." ”
Xiao Mengshi said coldly: "My father came up step by step with his military merits, he has no background and no backstage. You can ask some people, not only secretly hiding weapons? Why was the Jiang family in Jiangnan severely injured on the way to the bodyguard, why did Jiang Chengtian become disabled, and now he has to rely on a woman to support the Jiang family. Who have they offended?"
Meng Yu shook his head: "Brother Xiao, although you and I haven't known each other for a long time, I know that you are a man. But you should know that things in this world are not comparable like this. I understand that you can't make meritorious contributions on the battlefield in the army, so you can't extricate yourself from being lost, but there are some things that you can't do. ”
Xiao Mengshi shook his head: "I really didn't do too much. I also know that they are targeting me, one is to find a target to frame, and the other is to target my father. However, I really couldn't help myself. ”
Meng Yu said: "Forget it, don't think about these things first, I have already told you the benefits." Don't you see how angry Sister Zhenzhen is with you? Why can't you let these people who are good to you worry less about you?"
Xiao Mengshi shook his head: "In my life, I don't have any confidants. Although I know that I am very sorry for Sister Zhenzhen, I am sorry for Du Yuying. ”
Meng Yu glared at him: "You're still sorry for me! Do you know how much strength I have to use to protect you in the end? Of course, it's not just to protect you, but also Lord Xiao and Miss Dianxiu, as well as your mother, your little brother." ”
Xiao Meng picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "What have I, the eldest son, done for them! My sister has not been married yet, and my younger brother has never cared about him." If only God let me live again. Or," he thought again, "let me reincarnate and become an obedient child, or maybe Master Meng can really fancy me as his son-in-law." ”
Meng Yu burst out laughing: "You also know that there are a lot of people chasing Xiaoxue, so you have to compete." ”
Xiao Mengshi also smiled: "I'm really the worst of the competitors!"
Meng Yu thought for a while: "Yes, in fact, you really wronged yourself for Meng Xue." Jiang Zhan was very angry, Xiaoxue was indifferent to him, so he left resolutely without looking back. ”
Xiao Mengshi thought for a while and said, "I'm also like this to other girls, I'm very angry, but when I see your sister, I'll be embarrassed." ”
