Startled Meng

When Hei Ying told Liu Pei that Liu Pei was attacked in the bamboo forest, Yan Cijing felt like a thunderbolt struck in his mind, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"There are traces of fighting and fighting everywhere in the bamboo forest. Liu Pei is also very fateful. If he vomits blood from the beating, he can still recover his life." Hei Ying and Yan Cijing described in detail what they saw yesterday when they sent people to follow Liu Pei from afar. Scenes.

"It's a pity that both sides are powerful people. My people dare not approach for fear of being discovered. I didn't hear what the two said."

"I sent someone to ask Liu Pei. Liu Pei said that it was just a greeting between the two parties to each other's eight generations of ancestors. I don't know if it is true."

Yan Cijing listened silently, feeling terrified for a while.

He should have realized that from Sun Yulin, the bodyguard who died violently, to Liu Pei today, not only him, but also a group of people are also secretly investigating the events of the past, and they are always one step ahead of him, obliterating all the evidence !

"You can easily break the dead man's neck and beat Liu Pei until he vomits blood. What is the opponent...?"

Not only did Yan Cijing want to know this question, Wei Cheng also wanted to know.

"Is there a clue to the person you are looking for after the truth?"

Yan Cijing knelt in Wei Cheng's study, and confided everything in his heart: "The other party came prepared, Sun Yulin who killed, and Liu Pei who ambushed, are all related to what happened back then."

Wei Cheng interrupted him: "Hei Ying already told you, right?"

"I've said it, I've said it! Master Yan is one of his own, and this servant has already said it!" Hei Ying rushed to answer, but didn't notice that Yan Cijing was wrong.

Hei Ying did tell him what happened back then, but what did he say?

Wei Xiang was ordered to arrest Meng Xiao, the criminal minister who collaborated with the enemy and treason. Meng Xiao committed suicide when he saw that the incident was exposed. Wei Xiangnian also followed the order, but now it seems that someone wants to use this to accuse Wei Xiang of being cruel and forced his colleagues to death. That's all.

Yan Cijing kept sneering in his heart, wishing he could tear the pious skin of these people with his own hands!

"Master Yan! Keep talking." Wei Cheng stared at Yan Cijing with interest.

Yan Cijing lowered his head, "The other party came prepared, one is powerful and can come and go freely, Master Black Eagle also said that this person's skills are rare in Beijing, and the other is that this person's origin is unknown, but he can know the history of the past. The details... are so rampant, I think the opponent's power should not be underestimated."

"Not to be underestimated." Wei Cheng smiled, then asked, "What guesses do you have in mind?"

Yan Cijing shook his head: "The lower official is not sure."

Wei Cheng smiled: "But it doesn't matter."

Yan Cijing had no choice but to say: "How can a nobody dare to overestimate his own strength? The struggle between the imperial court and court cannot be tolerated, and the prime minister of Wei is in trouble, and the one who benefits the most is the one who benefits the most."

Wei Cheng's smile faded away, and he said, "You mean, there are people in the court who are entangled with forces outside the city and want to get a handle on the truth?"

Yan Cijing was silent, and Heiying said sharply: "Wei Xiang has more capable people and strangers, and he is not afraid of mere Zhang Shaoqiu!" He added a few words of flattery, which annoyed Wei Cheng, telling him to shut up and get out.

Hei Ying really rolled across the threshold with his head in his arms. Wei Cheng turned a blind eye to the funny and ugly appearance, and turned his head to ask Yan Cijing who was still kneeling on the spot: "What are you still doing?"

Yan Cijing got up immediately, made a bow, and sighed: "The officials are soft-spoken and have worked for Wei Xiang for many years. Finally, he fell into the eyes of Wei Xiang and entered the study of the prime minister's mansion. Everything suddenly seemed like a dream. It was out of proportion. Please Wei Xiangmo To blame."

Wei Cheng laughed loudly, his eyes squeezed into thin black stripes, and said: "As long as Mr. Yan is effective in his work, why not welcome you as our guest?"

"The lower officials are terrified!"

After performing a good show, Yan Cijing was physically and mentally exhausted. He left the study and had to deal with Black Eagle.

Hei Ying touched Yan Cijing's hand and said, "Soon, Mr. Yan will step on me."

Yan Cijing frowned and threw it away, and said coldly: "We are both working for Minister Wei, Mr. Heiying speaks seriously." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Hei Ying spat: "Now set up the score, when you beg me!"

Heiying got to where he is today by being shameless and shameless. Now that Yan Cijing is getting more and more favored by Wei Cheng, he is very jealous and is thinking of doing something to restore his position in Wei Cheng's heart .

After hard thinking and meditation, he didn't come up with anything. It just so happened that his subordinate came to send a letter and whispered a few words in his ear, which made him scold impatiently: "Why are you urging me again? Didn't you tell him to wait? It's still a matter of yourself. Are you a scumbag? Still want to see Mr. Wei? Hmph!"

The subordinate said: "According to your instructions, someone has been sent to watch Luo Sheng, but he seems to have something important to report."

"What's the matter? Don't worry! Let him wait!"

On the other hand, Yu Fangzhi went to Dali Temple.

When entering the study, Fu Chun was looking through the archives of the Ministry of Officials. Yu Fangzhi took a casual glance, caught a glimpse of the names of Zhong Li and Xia Changying, and said, "Master Fu is still investigating the unsolved case of the Crown Prince?"

Fu Chun put down the file, rubbed his tired eyes, and said, "Yes, a search warrant has been issued, and I don't know if there will be any results."

Yu Fangzhi asked: "Did the emperor ask Mr. Yan to investigate with you?"

Fu Chun shook his head: "I haven't seen Mr. Yan these few days." He added, "You came just in time. I was just about to tell you that traces of Luo Sheng appeared in the city."

"Luo Sheng?" Yu Fang knew, "Probably he is here to find Wei Cheng."

Fu Chundao: "I don't know yet, but his kung fu is unfathomable, and it is very difficult for my people to follow..."

Yu Fangzhi was worried that Luo Sheng would put Yan Cijing at a disadvantage when he met Wei Cheng, but when he thought that Yan Cijing had gradually lost contact with Wei Cheng, he didn't care too much, and started talking about himself instead. the goal of.

"Master Fu, I went to see Liu Pei under General Lu. He said that when Wei Cheng was ordered to arrest my father, he did not obey the emperor's order to pick someone from the Imperial Palace."

Fu Chun nodded: "This is also in line with what you said before that he murdered the Imperial Army. If he killed someone under Lu Yao's command, Lu Yao would definitely not let it go. Besides, Wei Cheng didn't want Mr. Meng to leave the Meng Mansion alive at all. , use your own people and worry less."

"Master Fu..."

Fu Chun looked at Yu Fangzhi worriedly: "Xiao Meng, you—"

Yu Fangzhi knew that now was not the time to be sad, and continued: "Wei Cheng wanted my father to die, planned carefully before and after, forged notes, murdered the imperial guards involved, poisoned the prince, just to kill my father, is it too much trouble? gone?"

Even if Meng Xiao holds Wei Cheng's handle, assassination is better than framing him to cooperate with the enemy. This is the feeling of Yu Fangzhi's investigation all the way, and it is also the place where Yu Fangzhi can't figure it out.

Fu Chun didn't think too much about it: "Coincidentally, Tardan violated the border at that time, which can be regarded as evidence that Mr. Meng is collaborating with the enemy."

"Coincidence?" Yu Fangzhi was stunned, "How coincidental? Was the time when Tardan violated the border written on the fake communication letter? If so? How could Wei Cheng know?"

Fu Chun turned pale with shock, and stared at Yu Fangzhi, knowing that he could not utter a complete sentence: "You, you doubt—"

Yu Fangzhi died down: "It's just my guess, and I can't find evidence yet."

Fu Chun regretted: "I have never seen the letter of communication with the enemy. Wei Cheng destroyed it a long time ago. Besides, the case was settled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Fu Chun regretted it to death. Bring up the old friend's case again, otherwise we can find clues.

Thinking of Fang Caiyu's appalling guess, Fu Chun said, "Whether your guess is true or not...it is absolutely impossible for Wei Cheng to still have a clue!"

Now that the evidence collected is enough, Yu Fang knows: "Master Fu, I don't want to wait any longer."

Fu Chun knew that he was not a careless person, so he must have planned something, and also thought that the voice of mentioning the remains of Prince Yin had become much quieter recently, and knew that if he did not act, he would miss a good opportunity.

"Taking the lead in the matter of Prince Yin, it is very appropriate to challenge Wei Cheng. Don't worry, I will continue to investigate the case, and I will review the previous cases related to Mr. Meng."

Yu Fangzhi nodded: "The old matter involves a lot. Those officials who know the inside story and have doubts in their hearts, I will try my best to contact them. I must take this opportunity to make Wei Cheng unable to turn over."

As night fell, the residents who had gone out rushed back and gathered in clusters. Yu knew that he saw a few acquaintances in the crowd.

They were all shopkeepers in his shop, and it was strange that a dozen of them came back from outside the city together. Yu Fangzhi stepped forward to say hello, and only after asking did he realize that they were going to Yunshui Temple outside the city to ask for money.

The fast-talking shopkeeper complained: "Are you busy lately, the young boss? I didn't reply to the note I handed over. I missed the deadline and lost a lot of money! I don't know if I don't go to pay my respects!"

A shopkeeper came out to smooth things over: "Young Master! Guess who we met in Yunshui Temple? Master Yan!"

"Master Yan?" Yu Fangzhi's smile was a little cold.

"Yeah, they went in before us, and no one came out after we left, and I don't know what we've been doing for so long..."

Yu Fangzhi bid farewell to several shopkeepers and went to Yan's Mansion with mixed feelings.

Introduced into the house by juniper, Yu Fang knew that he could smell the very faint fragrance of flowers, and his heart was a little less troubled. When he found the crabapple in a celadon vase by the window, the short-lived pleasure was soon accompanied by the withered and curly residual flowers. , Xiang Xiaoyu died.

"Why are you here?" Yan Cijing came in.

Yu Fangzhi was disappointed in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, jokingly: "You don't water it, the flowers are all withered."

Yan Cijing glanced at the window and said, "It's going to wither, what can I do?" He turned around and asked Du Yan to come in and throw the flowers away.

Yu Fangzhi smiled, tugged at Yan Cijing's cuff, and said, "I'll ask Xiaoqing to bring another bunch of fresh ones."

Yan Cijing looked down at the hand and said, "No need."

"Why?" The language side was puzzled.

"I do not like."

Baba sent the most beautiful branches on the tree, all you want is this sentence, don't you like it?Yu Fangzhi couldn't help laughing: "Then what do you like, the spring peaches on the mountainside? Or the summer lotuses in the temple?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Cijing took two steps back, "You sent someone to follow me again?"

"Do you still need to send someone to follow you?" Yan Cijing's vigilance made Yu Fangzhi angry. He grabbed Yan Cijing's wrist and reprimanded: "The incense smell on your body is so strong!"

When I went to see Xia Changying, Yan Cijing had no regrets in his heart, and felt that Yu Fangzhi was so aggressive and unreasonable, so he turned his face away and said coldly: "You have been very busy looking for your partner these days, don't bother you Take the time to find out where I am going."

Yu Fang knew that he suffered serious internal injuries during the fight with Liu Pei. Hearing this sentence, he was so angry that his chest was full of blood.

During the daytime, his complexion was not good, and Yu Fang knew that Yan Cijing was worried, so he avoided coming to see him, but he didn't expect him to think this way, he was extremely disappointed and sad, and his words were tinged with thorns: "Yes, I am too busy. Very much, I can't wait to pick him up right away, he's much more docile than you, he won't lie to me or look at me coldly."

With a sore nose, Yan Cijing shook off his hand, "You go."

"What do you think is a good place for you?" Yu Fangzhi left without looking back.

Walking to the door, he shouted again, "If I leave this door, I won't come back!"

Yan Cijing's face turned pale immediately.

"Why are you so angry? Shouldn't I be the one who should be angry?" Yu Fangzhi turned back and hugged him, "I miss you so much, come to see you, and you treat me like this?"

Yan Cijing couldn't speak, the root of his tongue was as bitter as if soaked in Coptis chinensis, he couldn't figure out the numbness blocking his chest, and leaned against Yu Fangzhi's shoulder as if discouraged.

Yu Fangzhi sighed, feeling that Yan Cijing in his arms was getting further and further away from him.
