Startled Meng

Prime Minister's Study

Sitting behind the desk, Wei Chenggao was playing with a jade ruyi in his hand. From time to time, he leaned over to examine the quality of the jade carefully. His cozy appearance did not match the menacing meaning in his words:

"You mean...it's wrong to push this case to Zhang Shaoqiu?"

"Yes, yes." Yang Xun said emphatically, "The officials used to search the whereabouts of kerosene in the city, and wandered around Yang's residence many times, but Zhang Shaoqiu changed his attitude of refusing to cooperate in the past, and opened the door openly for our people to search the house. , Xiaguan bit the bullet and searched, but found nothing."

He guessed again: "This matter may have nothing to do with Zhang Shaoqiu."

"Impossible." Wei Cheng put Yu Ruyi back into the treasure box, snapped it off, and said firmly, "From the beginning of this matter, Zhang Shaoqiu has never touched it at all, and even the court has kept silent. Didn't even notice him."

"He must have known about this and was secretly waiting for an opportunity."

Yang Xun held the sweat in his hands, and said: "Zhang Shaoqiu's behavior is obviously full of confidence that we can't catch him, so the officer..."

Wei Cheng lightly said, "Do your part well, let's go."

Yang Xun nodded in agreement, resigned and left.

Let Yang Xun control the bright affairs, and let the black eagle come in the dark.

Wei Cheng glanced at Hei Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You heard what you said just now, why don't you tell me?"

Heiying said: "My servant thinks that Zhang Shaoqiu may not know what happened back then, but he has been suffering from no clues, so he can't help Xiangye." He flattered, "He didn't dare to investigate deeply when he got clues from the cabin in the forest, he must be afraid of Xiangye reputation!"

Wei Cheng rolled his eyes and sneered: "Idiot, Zhang Shaoqiu would never do such a stupid thing as asking someone to report the case to the government office. There must be a third party involved in this matter."

Black Eagle reminded at the right time: "At the foot of Cangshan Mountain that day, the first person to arrive was Fu Chun, Minister of Dali Temple!"

"Fu Chun is an incompetent person. He has no ability, but it is possible to hide in the dark and bite the truth. But he didn't bite before, but now he bites..."

The black eagle's eyes rolled around, pointing out what Wei Cheng was thinking: "It must be someone's instruction. As early as last year, traces of others were found outside the forest hut, and then Mr. Fan and Mr. Zheng fell one after another. Already suspected it!"

"Not bad!"

When Hei Ying heard the praise, he stretched his head like a chicken waiting to be eaten, and continued: "When Fu Rongqu killed He Tianchou, that man had already shown his feet!"

Wei Cheng smiled grimly: "Last year, the truth seemed to be in bad luck, and he missed one after another. At that time, he didn't care about other things. Now it seems that someone is fishing in troubled waters!"

If all the unlucky things are connected together, it is not difficult to find the intention of the person behind it.

Hei Ying said in surprise: "Someone wants to bring up the old case and make trouble!"

Shouting too loudly, Wei Cheng glared at Heiying, "Go and find out who is behind the scenes."

Hei Ying was silent for a while, and smiled flatteringly: "The subordinates are stupid, no one in Meng Xiao's family survived, and those who spoke for Meng Xiao were transferred away from Beijing, who else..."

"Maybe there is another person." Wei Cheng sneered, "It's been so many years, I almost forgot the truth, and the Meng family still has a fish that slipped through the net."

A fire broke out in Cangshan, people who knew the inside story were spying in secret, and Yu Fangzhi also acted in a low-key manner. Apart from appearing in a hidden place like the shop, he appeared in a more hidden place like Yan Cijing's sedan chair.

Yu Fang knew that he was waiting in the car outside the palace, and when Yan Cijing got into the car, he immediately pulled him to sit down, and said: "I have already ordered Ruku to erase his whereabouts, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no flaw in the letter to Zhang's mansion. , it should be fine after a while."

Yan Cijing sat down in deep thought, not at all relaxed: "Yang Xun was ordered to investigate the case, the first suspect must be Zhang Shaoqiu, but now he can't find out, it stands to reason that the case should have been closed long ago, but Yang Xun is still investigating."

Yu Fangzhi nodded: "The thief shouted "Stop the thief, and if he couldn't find anything, he continued to investigate. Even Xie Xuan, who happened to help, was called to question him, as if he was delaying time."

Yan Cijing said: "Don't forget that this fire is to cover up something, Wei Cheng will not let anyone who wants to reveal the past."

Those who want to uncover the past are in the car right now, and they can grab a pair at a time.

But now there is no other way but to wait and see what happens, Yu Fang knows: "If Wei Cheng can't find out anything, it will be nothing, it's okay."

A trace of worry flashed in Yan Cijing's eyes, "It's best to let it go, I'm afraid Wei Cheng will have a better mind from now on, and it will not be so easy to find fault with him."

No progress at all, Yu Fangzhi felt bored, and immediately sneered: "Let's not talk about the past, setting fire to the mountain and burning more than ten pilgrims to death, such a reckless disregard of human life, only he, Wei Cheng."

Because of this incident, Yu Fangzhi ran around for several days, and he didn't even have time to shave the beard on his chin. Not only did things not get better now, it was even more unfavorable for them.

Sitting shoulder to shoulder in the car is the alliance, and even lovers, Yan Cijing didn't want to talk to Fangzhi too much, so he tugged on his sleeve and coaxed: "Wei Cheng should be angry, he is showing that you are here An, no matter how poor you are, you can still go back to Jiangling to be a rich and honored young master, isn't the Chang family at your mercy?"

Speaking of the Chang family who just became an imperial merchant, he intended to use this incident to anger Zhang Shaoqiu and force him to take action, but it was useless at all. Yu Fangzhi was a little annoyed, and his words were rushed:

"According to what you said, being an official in the court is not as chic as being a businessman?"

Yan Cijing remained silent, Yu Fangzhi held his wrists again, and said, "After Fan Qi was an official of the court, he almost won the number one prize. Wei Wei got the protection of the prime minister's father, and he went smoothly in the court, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Those who speak the language are only a few people, and the political situation is changing rapidly. It is rare to have a safe and smooth life. The most fearful thing is that the innocent will be convicted, and the whole family will lose their way of life.

Yan Cijing was thinking of Meng Jingyuan who died innocently, and shook his head repeatedly: "Not good."

"I feel bad."

Yan Cijing lowered his head, not daring to face Yu Fangzhi, for fear that he would see the sudden sadness.

Yu Fangzhi raised his hands up, moved inch by inch, grabbed Yan Cijing's arm instead, and pulled him in front of him, with a sense of coercion and temptation, "Then what do you think?"

"You think the court official is not good, and you also think the merchant's family is not good. You were worried that I would not be able to stay with you because of the heavy burden of the language family, and you thought about leaving, so what do you think is good?"

Yan Cijing struggled at a loss, and the palm of his hand that had been hidden all the way fell into Yu Fangzhi's eyes.

The language knows the insinuation, what is hiding?He took all the medicine, who is hiding it for?After the sarcasm, he felt chilled, he was hurt quietly for others, his heart was sour, and the words he said naturally changed.

"Stay away from common affairs, don't ask about the world of mortals, and live in seclusion in the peach forest. Is that what attracts you?"

Knowing that he would not be able to live comfortably, Yu Fang repaired Yan's mansion in advance, but he turned his head and stepped on the dirty mud and entered the thatched cottage without saying a word. Kneeling in front of the wild grave and kowtowing again and again.

"Isn't the wealth and glory I give you not as good as rough clothes and light food?"

Yan Cijing sensed something was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!" Yu Fangzhi pushed him into his arms forcefully, "If you want to be like that, I'm willing to accompany you. After the matter is over, I don't want everything, I just stay with you In the cabin in the woods, okay?"

He used great strength to hold Yan Cijing in his arms, he was afraid that Yan Cijing would run away if he loosened it a bit.

Now Yan Cijing not only couldn't run away, he couldn't even catch his breath, so he patted Yu Fangzhi on the back and asked him to let go.

"I won't let you go! There's no one else in the car, you said you love me, why don't you even allow me to hug you?" Even so, he relaxed a little bit to let Yan Cijing breathe.

Yan Cijing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he hugged him instead, and said: "Of course I can't fake what I said, I don't understand what you just said about merchants and hermits, I just know that no matter what your status is, I will be tempted. "

Niutou said something wrong all the way, and Yan Cijing's last sentence was the most familiar to everyone in the language. He overwhelmed Yan Cijing fiercely, holding his face and kissing him.

The carriages and horses had already stopped, but Yu Fang knew it hadn't stopped, kissed him so hard that his face was red, and finally hugged him tightly, warning without confidence: "I believe in you, don't let me down!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Cijing was surprised, "I took the risk of touching love only when I met you. Only after I touched it did I realize that it took a lot of effort. I dare not try again."

Yu Fangzhi felt comfortable, and rubbed Yan Cijing's bright red lower lip with two fingers, and complained: "Stop going to unscrupulous places like Diecui Tower, and just learn some slick and beautiful words to scare me."

Hearing what he said, Yan Cijing finally realized how bold what he said just now.

Thin lips are red because of being kissed, and red cheeks are because of embarrassment. Yan Cijing pushed Yu Fangzhi away, "Still getting out of the car? The horses are fattened from eating grass."

The chariots and horses entered the stables through the small gate of Yan's mansion, and it was unreasonable to mess around in the stables, Yan Cijing broke away from Yu Fangzhi's hand and got out of the carriage first.

Juniper came up to meet him and said, "My lord, there is a beggar lying on his stomach outside the mansion, and he couldn't be driven away."

Yan Cijing's face turned cold: "I'll go and have a look."

Yu Fangzhi got out of the car and followed, asking what happened.

Yan Cijing didn't hide it from him: "Heiying sent someone to look for me."

Wei Cheng knew that Meng Jingyuan was still alive, so he became suspicious; Xiaoyu was really easy to coax.
