Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 192 Yuan Zai Arrives
If you don't listen to the saint, you don't know if the prince will suffer or not after the saint returns to the palace, but you will definitely be the first to be punished.

After thinking about these things, Yao Ru Neng took a deep look, facing Liu Meng who was not afraid of tens of hundreds of Donggong guards, and said in a deep voice:
"You'd better not hurt the saint, otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape the end of death!"

After saying this, Yao Ru Neng bowed to the saint from a distance and said:

"Your official, Yao Runeng, respect the saint's mouth, and retreat now, and ask the saint to take care of the dragon body!"

After finishing speaking, Yao Runeng waved his hand, escorted the controlled dead man, and slowly backed away.

Of course, Yao Runeng would not retreat too far, immediately dispatched manpower, notified the prince and Guo Lishi, sent troops to surround the entire Pingkangfang, and then discussed the plan to rescue the saint.

Liu Meng waited for these people to retreat, then turned around, and said to Xiao Gui, Zhang Xiaojing, Yu Chang and his subordinates:

"Okay, it's none of your business here, let Xiao Liu take you away first, and have a round with the others, leave Chang'an first."

Hearing Liu Meng's words, Xiao Liu cupped his fists and saluted Liu Meng and said:
"Here!"

Xiao Gui just hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, we'll wait for you outside Chang'an City!"

Zhang Xiaojing hesitated, wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it.

Liu Meng knew what he was thinking, and said to Zhang Xiaojing:

"Don't worry, I won't kill the saint, I just let him see what his courtiers will do! I promise, just today, the saint will return to the palace intact of!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng walked back to the saint, pulled the saint up, and walked into Pingkang Square without looking back. After walking a few steps, Liu Meng suddenly turned around and said to Zhang Xiaojing:
"Remember Lao Wen's entrustment to you, take good care of Wen Ran, this is what you promised Lao Wen!"

After finishing speaking, he took the sage into the Pingkang Square, and soon, the figure disappeared around the corner.

Looking at Liu Meng and the two who left, Xiao Gui reached out and patted Zhang Xiaojing on the shoulder and said:

"Let's go, Zhang Xiaojing, since Liu Meng is so confident, I believe he will be safe and sound!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojing glanced sideways at Xiao Gui, with anger rising in his eyes, he thought sullenly:

You didn't do all of this, if it wasn't for you, would Liu Meng get involved?Will Chang'an City be so chaotic?

Thinking so, he also knows that getting angry can't solve this matter, in order not to distract Liu Meng, he can only leave here first according to Liu Meng's intention!
Seeing that the three had finished speaking, Xiao Liu took the three of them to take a shortcut and went to the underground city. The Lord He arranged for someone to take them out of Chang'an City through a secret passage.

Liu Meng led the sage through the alleys of Pingkangfang.

But at this moment, Xu Bin, the founder of the Jing'an Division and responsible for the large-scale case writing, appeared in Pingkangfang alone, driving a carriage.

His purpose, of course, is to find the saint and bring him back to the palace.

His trip is also holding the determination that if he fails, he will become benevolent, or he will get the approval of the sage, and he will be promoted to the lord and worship from then on;
Or, just die with the saint.

The purpose of Liu Meng's coming here was also to find Xu Bin. When he was watching the drama, he always had doubts.

Xu Bin's family fortune was obviously spent on researching papermaking, so if there is any extra money, please use Xiao Gui to carry out this operation.

There is a plot in the play, that is, the gold coins received by Xiao Gui are all gold coins from the countries in the Western Regions.

So, who gave these gold coins to Xu Bin, and what is the purpose of planning this incident?

Is it just cholera Chang'an, or the killing of a saint?

Combining these, Liu Meng guessed that the one who actually supported Xu Bin should be An Lushan.

Only An Lushan could generously spend so many gold coins to support Xu Bin and Xiao Gui's actions.

This can be seen from An Lushan's long-term bribery of court officials, and as for the source of his gold coins.

Of course, it was An Lushan, who was economically minded. He often sent caravans to and from various countries in the Western Regions, earning a lot of money. Otherwise, where did he get the money to bribe officials?

This also explains why An Lushan launched the Anshi Rebellion a few years later.

This operation, even if the saint was rescued and the operation failed, it would be regarded as a blow to the prestige of the saint.

In the end, Xu Bin tied the sage to the tower of Fang City, so that the people of Chang'an could see with their own eyes the desolate appearance of the aloof saint.

Let the people of Chang'an believe that the saint who has made great contributions to the world is just an old man, and he will also be coerced and killed.

This also laid the groundwork for An Lushan's subsequent riots.

Liu Meng just wanted to meet Xu Bin, and to know the truth of this matter from his mouth.

Perhaps, An Lushan could be forced to mutiny ahead of time without sufficient preparation, so that Liu Meng could deal with him more easily, complete the task earlier, and leave this world.

Unexpectedly, not long after Liu Meng took the sage for a walk in Pingkangfang, he met Yuan Zai and the forbidden army blocking their way.

It has to be said that Yuan Zai is very smart.

From the East Palace, he learned that the person who hijacked the saint was in Pingkangfang, and he couldn't wait to take the imperial soldiers assigned to him by the general into Pingkangfang.

His purpose is very simple, one is to find an opportunity to rescue the saint, of course he will be reused by the saint from then on, and he will be on the rise from then on;

Second, even if the saint is not rescued, as long as you show your face in front of the saint and show the appearance of rescuing the saint, you can still enter the eyes of the saint, right?

Yuan Zai was inexplicably pleasantly surprised when he saw Liu Meng alone with the saint.

Unexpectedly, this time when I came in to rescue the saint, it would go so smoothly.

Yes, in his opinion, the rescue of the saint this time is a certainty. He doesn't believe that Liu Meng alone can stop hundreds of forbidden troops like him?
Yuan Zai waved his hand triumphantly, and ordered the soldiers of the forbidden army to surround Liu Meng and the saint, but he didn't dare to order people to shoot arrows, for fear of accidentally hurting the saint.

Seeing that Liu Meng had nowhere to escape, Yuan Zai stood up, first bowed to salute the saint and said loudly:

"Weichen Dali Temple commented on the matter Yuan Zai, the rescue of the holy frame was late, and I hope the saint will not blame him!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, looked at Liu Meng, and reprimanded with a sullen face:

"Bold thief, don't let the saint go quickly, maybe the saint is merciful and will save your life, otherwise... you will die under the knife!"

But Liu Meng knew that whether it was in the play or in history, this Yuan Zai was not a good thing, and its harm to Datang was not weaker than that of Lin Jiulang, so it would be strange if he didn't hate him.

Seeing his high-spirited appearance with Zhizhu in his hands, Liu Meng couldn't help feeling angry.

I didn't see him in the Huae Building before, and I didn't have a chance to kill him. I thought I would have a chance to kill him later.
