Startled Meng

"Jingyuan! Where have you been? I have something to tell you!"

Meng Jingyuan, who was called, ran up and held Yan Jingping's hand, smiled with eyes crooked, and said: "Jingping! I have a very good thing to tell you! You listen to me first. !"

Yan Jingping shook his head and panicked: "No, Jing Yuan, listen to me first! I just saw two people being knocked out outside the door! Did something happen? Do you want to tell the master? Jing Yuan? Jing Yuan? "

Meng Jingyuan didn't seem to hear him talking at all, and ran into the room holding his hand, chattering something endlessly.

"No! Jingyuan! Don't go in!" Yan Jingping chased after him, but saw a child who looked exactly like him pass through him, and was led by Meng Jingyuan and ran into the house.

He wanted to chase, but was blocked by a sudden barrier. He looked down at his hands and found that he was rising, much taller than the two children hiding in the closet in the room, and his clothes had changed. It's a court dress, a court dress that is as red as blood, and everything in front of him is changing rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Meng who did not know when she appeared in the courtyard was forced to commit suicide with a sword in the courtyard, and then Master Meng committed suicide. Meng Jingyuan screamed and rushed out of the wooden cabinet and was hacked to death. Only the child in the cabinet was still alive. Shouted out heartbreakingly.

"Mirror element—"

Yan Cijing woke up screaming, shaking convulsively, staring at his hand without a trace of blood in a daze.

The cold sweat on his forehead fell into the palm of his hand, and he realized that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. He covered his face indiscriminately, but let the tears roll down from his fingers, covered his mouth, and the cry came from his fingers again. leakage.

"Jingyuan... I hurt you..."

"It's my fault, it's all me..."

Yan Cijing was awakened by the tragic situation in the dream. He hated himself no less than he hated Wei Cheng. With this heavy and deep resentment, he made the mechanism at Shisanpo so sophisticated that no one could fly. the point.

There are needles in the mesh of the catcher, and when the hood is pulled down, several bloody scars can be drawn. The grass half a person's height is full of arrows, the arrows are poisonous, and there are poisonous snakes in the trap. The lurking dead, no matter who comes, will come and go.

Afterwards, he asked Yousu to bring the news that Xia Changying was about to appear on Shisanpo to Zhang Shaoqiu.

The mantis catches the cicada, Zhang Shaoqiu is the mantis, and Yan Cijing is going to find the oriole.

Yan Cijing went to Bi Mansion.

"Master Yan, Master Tai Tuo is in poor health and has not seen any guests for the time being."

Yan Cijing scolded the butler: "The lower official has something important to see Mr. Bi, so don't block the way!"

The housekeeper is strong when he is strong, and said with a straight face: "Even if Master Yan has a big event, Master Tai Tuo will not see you, please come back."

Yan Cijing knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed three times: "Please let me see Mr. Taifu! I have something important to report!"

The butler was weak when he was weak, so he also knelt down to Yan Cijing, and persuaded him: "Master Yan, please go back, Mr. Taifu will not see anyone."

Yan Cijing couldn't wait anymore, he didn't have much time, so he knelt up straight and threatened: "Even if I kneel to death today, I must see Master Taifu."

The butler sighed, turned back to the mansion, ordered people to close the gate, and scolded as he walked, "Kneel down! Kneel down! Your Majesty will not see you if you kneel down to death!" He nodded respectfully.

Bi Shouyan asked, "Who is making noise outside the door?"

The butler replied: "But you disturbed the young master? The villain will send someone to drive him away!"

Bi Shouyan shook his head and said, "There is more than one person who came to look for Dad. Why is this so difficult today?"

The housekeeper bitterly said: "Yes! Lord Yan looks easy to talk to, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn!"

"Master Yan?" Bi Shouyan said as he walked out the door, "Open the door quickly!"

Yan Cijing took advantage of Bi Shouyan's help to enter Bi's mansion. Before he could think about why Bi Shouyan would help him, he begged Bi Shouyan to help him again and take him to see the Taifu.

Bi Shouyan wiped the dirt off Yan Cijing's forehead, pulled Yan Cijing's wrist and led him away, "Follow me."

When he arrived at the study, Yan Cijing knelt down facing the closed door, and said loudly: "Jiangling prefect Yan Cijing begged to see the Grand Tutor!"

Bi Zhixing heard movement in Shu Taifu's room, first scolded Bi Shouyan, and then drove Yan Cijing away.

Yan Cijing didn't care too much, and said loudly: "As the prince's teacher, if you can turn a blind eye to the hidden secrets behind the sudden death of the prince, the foundation of the country will be destroyed, and the great Yin will perish. Will the Taifu ignore it?"

The guards holding Yan Cijing were frightened by his words, Bi Shouyan was shocked, but Bi Zhixing remained calm and said: "If you want to see the old man, come in, don't use these words to bluff people."

Now that Yan Cijing was able to enter the study, he kowtowed his head three times to plead guilty, "The lower officials are so reckless because they have something important to report, please punish them by the Grand Tutor."

Bi Zhixing sat behind the desk, there was no sign of sickness on his face, but a red light from Yan Ci mirror, he satirized: "Master Yan is going to be knocked to death in front of Bi's house, where is the old man?" Still dare not see you?"

"Finally, is there anything you must tell the old man?"

Yan Cijing went straight to the point: "Prince Yin's death has other secrets. Prince Yin's involvement in the old case angered the murderer and he died."

Bi Zhixing was silent for a while, and said: "The old man knows that Prince Yin was killed, what other case could be bigger than the case of framing the crown prince?"

"The old case of Meng Xiao colluding with the enemy."

Bi Zhixing nodded: "I see."

Yan Cijing was stunned for a moment, and said: "Master Fu pointed out the subordinates before, and now the subordinates have evidence to prove that Meng Xiao was killed by a traitor, why did Master Fu not respond at all? Are you going to let the traitor continue to be at ease?"

Yan Cijing was so impolite, Bi Zhixing was quite unhappy to be questioned, and said coldly: "Just now you said outside the door that the old man turned a blind eye to Prince Yin's grievances, since the old man has no feelings for the Prince Yin who was brought out personally, other things, How can the old man care too much?"

The inside and outside of the words are all about nothing to do with oneself, but Yan Cijing came prepared, calmed down for a moment, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Master Taifu retreats to stabilize the court situation. , the lower official came to see Lord Tai Tuo today, also for the purpose of stabilizing the court."

Bi Zhixing was a little surprised, and asked him: "The old man said he was sick and retreated, and ignored the affairs of the court. How can he stabilize the court?"

Yan Cijing said: "The Taifu once taught Prince Yin himself, but now he avoids talking about it. It seems cold-blooded, but the officials know that if the Taifu avenges Prince Yin, there will be a wave of mourning for Prince Yin. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in recent years, if the words praising Prince Yin are spread widely, it will definitely be used by those who want to shake the foundation of the country."

"Furthermore, Mr. Fu is well aware of who killed Crown Prince Yin, and he is afraid that the current Holy Majesty will be implicated, and Great Yin will be shaken by wind and rain."

Yan Cijing's words were sincere, and at the end he was still panting, which was very clear in the secluded study.

Bi Zhixing stared intently at the young man kneeling on the ground, his heart beating like a drum.

The aptitude of today's sage is indeed not as good as that of Prince Yin. The two of them listened to his lectures at the same time. The edict to pass on the throne is even more powerful.

Concealing the truth about the death of the prince and the stable situation, Bi Zhixing chose the latter without hesitation.

"Silence will make the assailant even more rampant..." Yan Cijing did not agree with Bi Zhixing's actions, but now in order to get the Meng family to overturn the case and get Bi Shouyan to come forward, he had to start from Bi Shouyan's starting point and try to persuade Bi Zhixing.

"Compared to uncovering old cases that will destabilize the court, conniving the murderer is the only way to end up with troubles. The Taifu also doesn't want the position of one person under one person and above ten thousand to be filled by someone who is really collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

All of a sudden there was a gust of wind, flying sand and rocks, but the two people in the room remained motionless.Yan Cijing's confidence is naturally difficult to shake, Bi Zhixing's heart is vacillating, and sitting firmly on the top is just a strong support.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally let go of the cold sweat in his palms, and said slowly, "Get up and talk."

The two talked until late at night, when Yan Cijing came out of Bi Zhixing's study, his energy was exhausted, his face was terribly pale, Bi Shouyan had been waiting outside the door, and when he saw Yan Cijing coming out, he rushed to help him.

"You come in!"

Bi Shouyan was very embarrassed when his own father stopped him.

"Thank you for today, you can go." Yan Cijing nodded in thanks and walked out slowly.

Bi Shouyan stood on the spot watching him, as if he had forgotten his father's order, and when he could no longer see anyone, Bi Shouyan turned around only to find that Bi Zhixing had come out of the study at some point, following him to watch Yan Cijing.

"father……"

Bi Zhixing said coldly: "It's better to get rid of your shameful thoughts as soon as possible."

"I--"

"Yan Cijing's life is not long, and he has long been unable to recover." When Bi Zhixing said this, he almost crushed the wooden box in his hand.

Hearing this, Bi Shouyan was stunned for a moment, and rushed out. He saw someone from a distance, but he didn't dare to go forward. He was afraid that the panting would disturb him too much, so he covered his nose and followed him silently.

He knew he couldn't protect him to the end, but he could at least protect him to the end of the journey.Xu Shi was told that Yan Cijing's lifespan was running out, and Bi Shouyan noticed that his figure was as thin as a wicker.

"strict--"

Yan Cijing fell down suddenly, and Bi Shouyan was about to help him when he saw a woman rushing over to stabilize him.

It was Yousu who supported Yan Cijing.

"I'm fine, you came to me because you have something to say?" Yan Cijing hadn't had a drop of water all day, and his legs were a little weak at the moment.

Yousu looked at Yan Cijing worriedly, and said: "The letter has been delivered."

Yan Cijing nodded: "That's good."

Yan Cijing set up a simple bureau, and when Zhang Shaoqiu and Wei Cheng's people fought on Shisanpo, and the trouble became serious, then Bi Zhixing would come forward and tell the suspicious aspects of the old case in the court, so he would not worry about not being able to let Wei Cheng It's become a law.

Yan Cijing had a good idea, but he underestimated Zhang Shaoqiu.

"Xia Changying was staying on Cangshan Mountain, how could he show up on Shisanpo?" Zhang Shaoqiu frowned and flipped through the letter paper, and said to the people behind the curtain, "I don't know what the messenger is planning, so don't worry about it." gone."

"Take care." The figure behind the curtain moved, "I don't know the intentions of the person who spread the rumor that Xia Changying showed up. We need to find out."

Zhang Shaoqiu nodded: "I will arrange it."

"There's no need to arrange it," the person behind the scenes chuckled, "Young Master Yu is the one who wants to see Xia Changying the most, let him go?"

Zhang Shaoqiu smiled when he heard the words, and praised the other party for his wisdom.
