A traitor

Su Qinglang hugged the dancer girl and went all the way back to his residence, and just as he closed the door, he let her down.

He shook his hands: "Girl, how much did you eat today, you don't look fat, hold..."

Before he finished speaking, the other party put a dagger on his neck, Su Qinglang quickly shut up, raised his hands and said: "Holding is like a ball of cotton, I really want to do it again."

The dancer pointed the dagger at him for a moment.Suddenly, he fell to his knees with a plop: "The little girl has a grievance, and I ask the adults to make the decision."

Su Qinglang was stunned for a moment, his hands were still raised, he looked down at the dancer, and felt that in the current situation, either the dancer was sick, or he was dreaming.

I thought she was a heroine doing justice for the heavens, but unexpectedly it was Dou E who asked him to avenge his grievances. Su Qinglang couldn't laugh or cry: "Girl, you should have said it earlier, you are begging for help..."

The dancer girl raised her head, her beautiful face was full of tears, as if the pear blossoms had brought rain, Su Qinglang felt distressed when she saw it, and said: "What's the matter, you can talk about it after you get up first."

He stretched out his hand to help the dancer up, then turned around and walked to the table to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea, and only listened to the dancer narrating a sad story about the past.

The dancer's surname is Meng, and her name is Shuyao. She was not a dancer originally, but a rich lady. Her father, Meng Huaiting, was originally a county magistrate in Yizhou, and worked under Yu Huaizhong.

Two years ago, Yu Huaizhong found Meng Huaiting and said that it was Qin Jian's birthday, and asked the people below to contribute to buying gifts for him.

It's a pity that her father, Meng Huaiting, has always been an upright master, and he would never search the villagers to pave the way for him. Not only that, but the loyal and courageous Lord Meng even scolded his colleagues including Yu Huaizhong. He called them a group of rats who formed a party for selfish interests, moths in the officialdom of the court, who only flattered the servants and oppressed the people.

Yu Huaizhong didn't turn his face at that time, nor did he make things difficult to punish Meng Huaiting, but a few days later, when her father was having dinner at home, he was suddenly summoned by his superiors, saying that he had something important to discuss, and asked Meng Huaiting to meet him quickly. Seeing that the envoy was in a hurry, it seemed that something was really urgent, so he followed the man and left without thinking too much.

However, Meng Shuyao and her mother waited at home for a long time, but still did not wait for her father to come back. It was not until evening that someone reported that her father had died in a brothel, on the bed of a prostitute.

When the Meng family arrived in a hurry, Meng Huaiting had already been carried out, surrounded by crowds of onlookers. She and her mother wanted to go up to check the situation, but the people in the yamen didn't let them get close at all. The body was sent to Yizhuang, and Yizhuang caught fire inexplicably in the middle of the night, so since her father's accident, they didn't even have the chance to meet each other.

The people in the yamen said that it was her father who drank in the brothel and indulged too much in pleasure-seeking, that's why he unfortunately died suddenly. With a few words, they were forced to send them home.

Her mother couldn't take the blow, let alone her former upright and honest husband, and became a laughing stock among everyone.

So one evening when the sun was setting in the west mountain, she hanged herself at home, leaving only Meng Shuyao, helpless and lonely, after finishing the funeral for her parents, she was kicked out of the house.

From then on, the once rich and prosperous daughter Qianjin became a street beggar who couldn't eat enough to eat. While tracing the truth of her father's death, she also looked for opportunities to avenge her father. A dancer who pleases others and sells her looks.

He came here this time with the determination to assassinate Yu Huaizhong to avenge his father.

Unexpectedly, when she heard Su Qinglang's rhetoric during the banquet, she thought to herself, God blesses her to have the opportunity to meet the nobleman, so that she can finally redress her father's grievances and clear her name.

In the end, Meng Shuyao lowered her head and said apologetically, "Just now, the young girl had no choice but to make such a bad plan in order to find an opportunity to talk to the adults. Please forgive me."

Su Qinglang shook his head straight after hearing this, one was Meng Shuyao, the other was Yu Huaizhong, and the third was himself.

Thinking of her youth, a weak and weak woman, unexpectedly suffered such an accident, and her life experience sinks like duckweed in the rain. She must have suffered a lot on the road of avenging her father, and thinking about her twists and turns, I thought Meeting a savior who was able to avenge her hatred, but it happened to fall into his hands. It can be seen that this girl's luck is really not very good.

Yu Huaizhong, I saw him timidly and timidly, a complete soft egg, but I didn't expect to kill the chicken inside the eggshell, it was so bad that it bleeds.

It is not enough to just kill someone, but also to smear their face, causing them to be ruined. After death, there is not even a whole body. They are cruel and poisonous like snakes and scorpions. After death, they are estimated to go to eighteen levels of hell.

As for himself, he was just blowing nonsense at the banquet and putting gold on his face, who wants to avenge her and avenge her?The Buddha said not to speak in vain, otherwise he will suffer retribution, and his retribution will come too soon, right?

What should I do now, respond to the girl's request, or let her come from, and where will she go back?

Thinking of those boxes of things in the rockery in the garden, and looking at the girl's pear-blossoming expression, Su Qinglang couldn't bear it after all.

He hesitated and said to her: "Gu... Girl, since they didn't let you see anything back then, how did you know that your father was wronged?"

Meng Shuyao immediately raised her head, with an excited expression: "Father has been upright all his life, clean and self-disciplined, and will never do such scandalous things!"

Su Qinglang sighed for a while, then sighed again: "Girl, when investigating a case, you must pay attention to evidence. How can you win people's trust based on your one-sided words? You are also a person who has studied, so you should know that if you don't have evidence, even your own The officer took over this case, and there will be nothing he can do in court in the future."

Meng Shuyao said again: "I have the proof!"

She paused and lowered her head: "When I did an autopsy, it was found that my father was strangled to death, but under the pressure of Yu Huaizhong, I had to revise the testimony. My father was generous and kind, and he loved the people like a son during his tenure. Yizhou Many people are grateful for his kindness, that famous author...

Although he did something to help the evildoers, he still felt guilty all the time. Later, he became seriously ill. I went to see him many times, and finally left a letter of confession before he died. When it comes to Qin Jian, I'm afraid that no one will dare to take this case..."

Su Qinglang had nothing to say now, and after a while, he pulled his lips, and said in a distasteful way: "Girl, in fact, for those people who came with me, you are better off looking for anyone than me, and I will keep it safe for you." It's a secret, I won't reveal your identity to others, but this matter... just pretend that I have never heard of it."

Seeing his refusal, Meng Shuyao walked forward, knelt down again with a plop, and begged, "My lord, I can see that your official rank is much higher than Yu Huaizhong's. That dog thief is very afraid of you. As for the adults ...Please also ask the adults to be the masters for the little girl, and the little girl will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and she will repay your kindness."

Su Qinglang sighed again, turned around and thought about it, he was vicious and wicked, and was famous all over the world, how could he be reduced to the point where he didn't even have the consciousness to be a traitor?

For such a troublesome woman, she directly refused the matter, and what she did to talk nonsense with her, and if she couldn't manage to draw the fire on herself, then the real loss outweighed the gain.

He sat on the seat, looked at Meng Shuyao and said, "You just said, who else is involved in this matter?"

Meng Shuyao raised her head, somewhat puzzled: "Qin Jian?"

Su Qinglang asked again: "Then, who is Qin Jian?"

Meng Shuyao snorted, and said with a sneer: "Your Prime Minister Qin Jian, the celebrity in front of the emperor, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?"

Su Qinglang asked again: "Then do you know that beside Qin Jian there is a Minister of Rites who is also a celebrity in front of the emperor, but he has been doing things for Qin Jian?"

Meng Shuyao snorted again, with obvious contempt in her expression: "Su Qinglang, Qin Jian's running dog, is famous for his treachery and treachery."

Su Qinglang was silent for a moment, then said: "Then I'll tell you one thing, you have to promise that you will leave here after listening, and you won't kill me."

Seeing Meng Shuyao nodded hesitantly, he said, "I am Su Qinglang."

Meng Shuyao froze for a moment, her face turned pale, struck by lightning, and after a while, she quickly grabbed the dagger on the ground. Seeing this, Su Qinglang's pupils shrank, and just as she was about to run away, she stretched out her hand and grabbed it again, pulling her back again.At the same time, the dagger was also on his neck.

Meng Shuyao gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "So you are Su Qinglang."

Su Qinglang raised his hands, and said calmly: "A gentleman, a four-horse horse is hard to chase, girl, you promised not to kill me."

Holding his collar, Meng Shuyao moved the dagger a little closer and said, "I'm not a gentleman, but a little girl. Besides, there are only two of us here. If I kill you, who would know?"

Seeing her agitated, Su Qinglang hurriedly said: "Gu... girl, if you kill me, the government will definitely suspect you first. At that time, you won't be able to avenge your father."

Meng Shuyao said again: "Heaven opened my eyes, let me meet such a dog official like you today, and kill you in the name of extermination. If I want to come to my father, he will know about it, and I will be gratified."

At this point, Su Qinglang had nothing to say, the room was silent, and when he was thinking about countermeasures, he only heard a knock on the door outside.

Immediately afterwards, Mei Liusheng's voice floated in: "Brother Su, are you asleep?"

Su Qinglang was overjoyed for a while, but under Meng Shuyao's intimidation, he had to answer: "Brother Mei, I'm already asleep, what's the matter?"

Mei Liusheng was silent for a moment, her tone seemed a little angry: "Su Qinglang, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he paused and just stood at the door, neither coming in nor leaving.

Meng Shuyao frowned, fearing that he would delay her work, so she squeezed her throat on purpose: "Who, you are so ignorant, don't you know that he is already asleep?"

Hearing these words, the people outside the door were completely silent, and Su Qinglang felt pain in his heart, as if he had swallowed half a Coptis chinensis.

Just when he thought that Mei Liusheng would turn around and leave, there was a loud bang, Mei Liusheng kicked open the door, and stared at the scene in the room, stunned.
