Brocade tears

On the afternoon of June [-]th, Meng Kuang was practicing boxing in the courtyard of the inn.Guo Dayou walked into the inn quickly, shook a note in his hand, and shouted to Meng Kuang:

"Thirteen, come quickly, find that pirate comprador!"

Meng Kuang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurried to catch up.

……

During the riots in Xixi Township on June [-], Meng Kuang avenged his revenge by killing Tang Fu'an and Zhang Jing, but unfortunately let Wang Daoming escape. His second brother Meng Zixiu was also seriously injured because she blocked the gun.On the morning of June [-], Meng Kuang and Guo Dayou learned about Wang Daoming's background and his role in a series of incidents from Lu Wang's office, and took advantage of this opportunity to avenge Lu Wang.Although King Lu was not dead, according to the doctor who saw him later, King Lu was frightened for some reason and fell into a serious illness. He kept talking nonstop and had severe nightmares.On the afternoon of June [-]th, King Lu had been sent back to Beijing, while Meng Kuang and others were still stranded in the inn in Hangzhou. Ban Ruhua was received by the princess from the Binhu mansion to stay in the inn.This was Ban Ruhua's request. She heard about what happened to the group and she was very worried, so she must come and visit everyone.

After two days of treatment, Meng Zixiu survived the most dangerous period relying on amazing willpower, the fever gradually subsided, and his mind gradually became clear.But what makes people distressed is that the pain in his shoulder is very bearable. Once he wakes up, Meng Zixiu suffers from the pain day and night. Even with medicine to suppress the pain, it is very unbearable.If it weren't for Bai Yuyin and Meng Yan who guarded him in confusion, accompanied him, and made him happy, Meng Zixiu might have a hard time getting through this time.For the past two days, Meng Kuang has also been guarding his second brother, telling him repeatedly that his revenge has been avenged, so that he can relax.Seeing that his sister was safe and sound, Meng Zixiu felt relieved knowing that the painful price he had paid was worth it. Coupled with the joy of having his revenge avenged, he looked much more relaxed.

Now only Wang Daoming is left, and the culprit still concerns everyone's minds.But the combination of the obsession of revenge and the belief of saving the country brings an unprecedented sense of mission to everyone, which makes everyone encouraged and ready to fight.

The news that Guo Dayou got today was a surprise, and it was also thanks to Qiu Bai.After repeated groping and inquiring, Qiu Bai and Gu Zhongwen mobilized almost all the contacts of the princess in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally found out the name and origin of the comprador.

Guo Dayou spread the note on the table and looked around at everyone in the room.At this time, everyone gathered in the house of the second brother Meng Zixiu. Mencius Xiu was in a good state at this time and had a strong desire to learn the latest information.

He said: "I just received a message from Qiu Bai who rushed to Pinghu in advance, and the identity of the pirate comprador has been found out. His name is Shen Zhe, his name is Peidong, and his nickname is Qiansan. He used to be a silk businessman with the Weaving Bureau , Inheriting the property left by the family, the status of a scholar. This year, he is 32 years old and has been cleansed."

"What? Why cleanse yourself?" Meng Kuang asked with a frown.

"Because I was sick, I had to cleanse myself." Guo Dayou said, "This guy is lustful, has countless women, and got sick. Later, because he hooked up with Tang Fu'an, he worshiped him as his godfather. In order to please Tang Fu'an, he did not hesitate Palace."

Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill.

"This guy actually has something to do with Tang Fu'an, I didn't expect it. But it seems that Tang Fu'an is not very clear about the fact that he has become a pirate comprador? Otherwise, how could it be Wu Yong's turn to secretly collude with the pirates? Tang Fu'an can definitely rely on this Shen Zhe Hook up Japanese pirates." The princess asked.

"The Eighteenth Master is right. He was indeed abandoned by Tang Fuan. About three years ago, the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau was found out by the Jinyiwei in a corruption case. Several officials and businessmen were involved. He was one of them. Tang Fu'an pushed him out as a shield, and Tang Fu'an didn't even remember him. He was released after spending more than half a year in the prison, and was severed by his family, and disappeared after he was released from prison." Guo Dayou said.

"It's so miserable, it's really self-inflicted." Meng Yan couldn't help sighing.

Guo Dayou continued: "After Shen Zhe was released from prison, in order to make a living, or to get revenge, he ventured into the coastal smuggling business. Soon he came into contact with Japanese pirates. Because he is educated and knowledgeable, he is also familiar with the coastal business. I also met a Japanese pirate ronin, learned fluent Japanese from him, and became a well-known broker and comprador among the Japanese pirates. Because he suffered a lot, he has been keeping a low profile these years, and only uses the nickname 'Thousands' to outsiders Doing business. This nickname of 'Qian San' is still taken from Shen Wansan. This guy is indeed a bit like Wang Zhi in the past, but it's a pity that he does things too sinister and secretive, and he doesn't have the atmosphere of Wang Zhi."

Meng Kuang couldn't help asking, "Is this person related to Wang Daoming?"

Guo Dayou shook his head and said: "I don't know whether it is related, but if the Japanese pirates who bought supplies in Hangzhou and the Japanese pirates who smuggled arms in Beijing are the same group, then this Shen Zhe has something to do with Wang Daoming." It doesn't matter."

Meng Kuang said: "My second brother got information from Li Laosan. Wang Daoming tried to use Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts as a bargaining chip in exchange for Lu Wang and others to do things for him. He may be planning to seize the so-called 'Zhang Juzheng Treasure' in order to plan Even bigger Japanese rebellion, at the same time, he used Lu Wang as a protective umbrella to ensure that he would not be discovered by the court. At this juncture, I always feel that things are not simple. Maybe Wang Daoming had contacted Shen Zhe in Hangzhou earlier, but We have no way of finding out."

Guo Dayou nodded: "It's a reasonable guess, we have to take this possibility into consideration. Right now, Qiu Bai has already told me the address where Shen Zhe might be hiding. Thirteen, pack up, we'll set off today and get to Pinghu as soon as possible go."

"Okay, I see." Meng Kuang nodded.

"Miss Sui'er, Miss Bai, you two should not go this time." Guo Dayou turned to them and said, the reason why he agreed with them before was because he had a premonition that someone might take advantage of him and Meng Shisan to leave Take the opportunity to catch them.But now Tang Fu'an and Zhang Jing are dead, King Lu has also been sent back to Beijing, Wang Daoming has fled, and his assistant Fang Ming is also dead. Guo and Meng went to take risks.

Bai Yuyin nodded and said, "In that case, I won't cause trouble for Baye Guo and Thirteen." Right now, her mind is on Mencius Xiu, she doesn't want to leave, she wants to stay with Mencius Xiu.

But Sui Er still hesitated.She was worried about Meng Kuang and wanted to go back to her hometown Jiashan to have a look, but she didn't want to cause trouble for Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang either.She looked at Meng Kuang, wanting to ask what her opinion was.

At this moment, Ban Ruhua, who had been sitting next to the princess without saying a word, suddenly got up, as if he couldn't bear anything, and ran out of the room quickly.Everyone was stunned, and the princess immediately got up and chased him out.

"What's going on?" Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang also walked out. As soon as they reached the corridor, they saw the princess quickly catching up with Ban Ruhua who had already run to the end of the corridor. Ban Ruhua seemed to be struggling. She didn't want to let the princess see her face, but in the end she couldn't beat the princess.After seeing her face clearly, the princess was shocked by Ban Ruhua's state, hugged her into his arms, pushed open the door of the room at hand, led Ban Ruhua in, and closed the door.

A very bad premonition floated in Meng Kuang's heart, and he frowned. Guo Dayou beside him seemed to have the same feeling as her, and said:

"Let's go back, let the princess comfort the class girl, don't bother."

Meng Kuang returned to his second brother's room and found that Sui'er was looking at her with a strange look in his eyes.Her heart trembled, and she thought to herself, does Sui Er know something?She walked up to Sui'er and whispered:

"Sui, I have a bad feeling. What happened to Ban Ruhua?"

Sui'er was speechless for a moment, just shaking her head.Meng Kuang also found that his younger sister Meng Ai was also looking at her, her eyes were exactly the same as Sui Er's eyes just now, and Bai Yuyin was on the side. When he cast his gaze, they immediately dodged and did not dare to look at her.

Something is wrong, they must know something about Ban Ruhua, but keep it from themselves.But why hide it from yourself?Meng Kuang didn't ask questions rashly, and planned to ask Sui'er alone later.

Meng Zixiu was not very clear about what happened to Ban Ruhua, but he had something to worry about, so he called out weakly to Meng Kuang and said:

"Ah Qing, come here."

Meng Kuang immediately stepped forward and approached Mencius Xiu's bedside.Mencius practiced:

"The deal between me and Li Laosan is that he told me the whereabouts of Lu Wang and others. I want to find out the clues Wang Daoming has about Zhang Yunxiu and tell him. But now, Wang Daoming has escaped, and you haven't heard from Lu Wang. Ask about Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts, Zhang Jing, Tang Fu'an, and Fang Ming are all dead, and Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts are a mystery. I'm afraid, Li Laosan may have other actions."

When Meng Kuang took revenge in Mingjing Temple, he didn't know that King Lu and others had information about Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts.When she killed Zhang Jing and Tang Fu'an and was about to kill Fang Ming, she learned from Fang Ming's terrified cry that Fang Ming knew Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts, but it was a pity that Fang Ming was also silenced by Wang Daoming.After Wang Daoming escaped, Lu Wang was the only one who knew Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts.However, when Meng Kuang and Guo Dayou went to talk about Lu Wang’s words yesterday, they adopted the method of pretending to be a ghost. The starting point is that Lu Wang betrayed the country and colluded with Japanese pirates. It is very strange, it is likely to expose the real purpose of Meng Kuang and Guo Dayou, in order to prevent future troubles, so that King Lu will not be able to trace it to Guo and Meng because of this, and the two never mentioned Zhang Yunxiu thing.

But now this has become a problem, Li Laosan failed to get the information that Li Laosan wanted, there is no guarantee that he will not take other actions, it is difficult to predict what Li Laosan will do next.

"Try to cooperate with Li Laosan, even within the New Party, Li Laosan is a very mysterious existence. After he committed suicide and faked his death in the past, the New Party has never contacted him. Where is he and what is he planning all these years? We don't know anything. But the only thing that can be judged is that he will not be in the company of Japanese pirates, nor is he an accomplice of powerful people such as King Lu. Why did he do so many things these years? This is related to why our father and brother traveled thousands of miles in the past We sent Sui'er far away to Liaodong, and we can only understand this from him. We don't understand the last wishes of our father and brother in the past, so how can we be reconciled?" Mencius exhorted.

"Okay, I'll spare you brother, don't worry." Meng Kuang replied solemnly.

Today, there are still two mysteries surrounding the hatred of the Meng family in the past. One is the purpose of his father and brother to send Sui'er to Liaodong;Neither Wang Daoming nor Fang Ming were trusted by their father and brother at that time, and it was impossible for them to obtain information directly from their father and brother.The fact that Sui'er was in Meng's house had long been ruled out due to a city-wide investigation. The only person who knew that Sui'er was in Meng's house was "Ghost Hook" Chu Yidao, who is now Qianhu of Beisi Prison.Meng Kuang also kept guessing that it was Chu Yidao who betrayed the news.But if you think about it carefully, this is not in line with the truth.Li Laosan, who has always been rigorous in his work and has an extremely vicious eye, let Chu Yidao, a person who would betray him, in the Jinyiwei, but he faked his death to escape. Do you want to hear it or not?So much so that the information was leaked and a major event was missed?

There must be something hidden about what happened back then.After Meng Kuang joined Jinyiwei, she didn't have much contact with Chu Yiyi. She was afraid that Chu Yiyi would recognize her identity, and because of her lack of strength, she never dared to touch this taboo topic.But seeing that Chu Yiyi is safe and sound so far, if Li Laosan has been hiding in the dark all these years, how could he let him be so free?

Chu Yidao must still be Li Laosan's person, and it is very likely that Li Laosan's eyeliner in the Jinyiwei, otherwise there is no way to explain all this.If the purpose of father and brother sending Sui'er away back then, if they could not find out clearly from Li Laosan, Chu Yiyi might be a breakthrough.Now that Guo Dayou also knows Meng Kuang's identity and the experience of the Meng family in the past, maybe Meng Kuang can use the power of Guo Dayou and Luo Xun to ask Chu Yitong again for proof of the past.

The time finally came, and the Japanese problem in Hangzhou should be settled first. If you can't find out everything from Li Laosan, then go back to Beijing to find Chu Yidao. Meng Kuang secretly made up his mind.
