Chapter 189 The first wave of interception
When these words came out, not only the sage was shocked, but even Xiao Gui, Zhang Xiaojing, and Yu Chang in the carriage were also shocked.

They really didn't expect that things would really be as Liu Meng said.

If it is true what Liu Meng said, the royal staff, and court officials, will really be punished.

Only the saint, after being shocked, believed it a little bit.

Presumably, with the help of his aunt, Princess Taiping, he also seized the imperial power from his father, Li Dan, who was the prince.

Later, after a life-and-death struggle with Princess Taiping, the imperial power was stabilized.

For the people in the royal family, for the sake of the throne, anything is possible.

If it was as Liu Meng said, he would not be surprised.

However, he still had some extravagant hopes in his heart, and he hoped that the ministers would not do this to his son.

Because, he is the real master of this world, comparable to the hero of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

No one dares to assassinate himself, which is not ashamed by the world.

Unfortunately, he overestimated his influence.

He is no longer the emperor who scolded Fang Qiu in his prime of life, and now he is just an old man who is greedy for pleasure.

His prince and trusted ministers, although they still respect him on the surface, in fact, they have long since taken him seriously.

The carriage drove through the dark streets, entered a dark and silent market, and came to the common people's street.

At this time, there was no festive atmosphere in Minmin Street. Many children in thin and shabby clothes squatted on the ground, looking at the end of the street expectantly, waiting for their benefactors to arrive.

Because, at this time of year, this benefactor always takes a carriage and brings them delicious pastries.

When the carriage of Liu Meng and his party arrived, a group of children surrounded them happily.

After waiting for the few people in the carriage to get off, they dispersed in disappointment after seeing someone who was not what they expected.

The sage got off the carriage and looked around, but saw a low-rise building made of wooden slats and discarded earthen bricks.

Many old men, women, and children in thin and ragged clothes looked at themselves and others from afar.

At this moment, the saint looked at Liu Meng in doubt and shock, raised his finger and asked these people:
"They, they..."

Liu Meng sighed, and said in a heavy tone:

"Many of them are orphans and widows, old people who lost their orphans, and many of their sons, husbands, and fathers died on the way to fight for the saints! However, they cannot be resettled. I can only live here with difficulty!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng looked at the saint and said in a deep voice:

"Saint, this is your ministers, whitewashing the peaceful and prosperous world! And there are many, many such places and such people in the entire land of Tang Dynasty!"

After speaking, without waiting for the sage to refute, he pulled him up and walked towards the carriage.

The saint had an unbelievable expression on his face, and looked back at the orphans and widows from time to time, his lips trembled a few times, but he couldn't say a word.

The carriage left Minmin Street again. On the carriage, the saint was silent for a long time before saying:
"Liu Meng, after I go back, I will allocate money to settle them down..."

Liu Meng heard the words, and said with a disdainful mocking smile:
"Hey! That's only for the officials of the saints, and they don't want to be greedy for ink!"

After the sound fell, the carriage stopped suddenly, and there was a burst of shouting:

"All the people in the carriage get off, and Dong Gongwei leads an inspection!"

The shout immediately made the saint happy, but he looked at Liu Meng calmly.

At this moment, the most frightening thing in Saint's mind was this young man who was known as the 'Meng Kui' in the Eighth Regiment. He wanted to see how Liu Meng would react in such a situation.

Unexpectedly, Liu Meng's reaction was completely unexpected by the sage, and no panic could be seen from Liu Meng's expression.

It seemed that this situation had been expected by him long ago, at this time Liu Meng even had the thought to stretch himself, and said to the saint indifferently:

"Let's go, saint, let's go out and see who this wave of people is and how they will react when they see you!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up first, opened the curtain of the carriage door, and got out of the carriage.

At this time, outside the carriage, the driver's voice came to several people's ears and said:
"Masters, this is my lord's carriage. I came back late because I went to the civilian street to give porridge. I wonder if I can let it go?"

Then, the voice of the previous questioning sounded:
"Stop talking nonsense. By order of His Royal Highness, the city of Chang'an is under martial law tonight. All vehicles and pedestrians must be inspected. Immediately let the people in the carriage get off and be inspected! Otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Liu Meng who just got out of the carriage and said:
"Otherwise, what if you still want to kill people in the street?"

The person who spoke before was cut off by Liu Meng, obviously extremely annoyed, and said angrily:
"So what if we kill you? We are the prince's confidantes, and we will be the masters of Tang Dynasty in the future. So what if we kill you untouchables? Let's do it!"

When the people in the car heard the words, they immediately knew that there was going to be another big fight this time.

Xiao Gui, Zhang Xiaojing, and Yuchang got up one after another, lifted the curtain of the car and filed out.

The saint was still happy a moment ago, and now someone came to rescue him, but at this moment he was angry and followed him out without even thinking about it.

He wanted to see how his good son, Prince Li Yu was so daring and reckless that he dared to kill people indiscriminately without any real evidence?

But he didn't know that this group of soldiers was not Prince Li Yu's East Palace Guard at all, but the crazy King Yong who wanted to sit on the throne.

Originally, he didn't have much thought, but after he got the news from the right minister tonight, his heart started to stir when he was fighting for the crown prince.

His aide Feng Lun gave him an idea, he would not stop doing anything, and simply took this opportunity to send people pretending to be the prince to find the bandits who robbed the saint, and if they found them, they would kill them all, so as to ascend to the throne as soon as possible .

Upon hearing this, King Yong first loudly rejected the proposal, but under Feng Lun's 'repeated' persuasion, he accepted his proposal.

So he sent out his own cronies, together with the Xiong Huo Gang, to go out and look for people dressed as people from the Eastern Palace.

It was also their luck that outside Pingkangfang, they met Liu Meng and his party who had just come out of Minmin Street.

Yong Wang's men, who were always arrogant and used to it, were provoked by Liu Meng's words, so they couldn't stand it and wanted to kill people.

Amidst a series of sounds of drawing knives, the leader saw Xiao Gui, who was wearing armor, and the other three also got out of the carriage.

Among them was an old man in disheveled clothes, who immediately knew that his luck had come.

According to King Yong, among the people who robbed the saint were those who wore armor, and this old man was also about the same age as the saint.

At this moment, he knew that his opportunity to make contributions had come. He guessed that these people were the group who robbed the saint. He only needed to kill these people and frame them for the prince's party.

King Yong will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor, and he and others will also be able to rise to the top of the ranks.
