Spring dyed pear blossoms
Chapter 12
Yu'er knocked on the door outside, but Meng Qiucheng locked the door from inside.She pushed for a long time but couldn't open it, so she had to keep knocking on the door.In addition, I just heard a scream, and I couldn't help worrying.
Meng Qiucheng glanced outside the door, picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea to take a sip. "I believe in you, but that doesn't mean I believe in everyone!"
After understanding Meng Qiucheng's words, Jinxi said calmly, "Yu'er, I'm fine, you go down first! I have something to talk to Master Meng!"
Standing outside the door, Yu'er hesitated, Meng Qiucheng is a corrupt official, what can he say with such a person?She raised her hand, ready to strike again.
At this time, Jin Xi's voice came from inside again, "Since Master Meng is here to collect some silver taels for those refugees, this is a serious matter. Not to mention the miserable situation of those refugees, Jin Xi is naturally willing to do his part. But Meng The amount your lord said is too large, it is really difficult for Jin Xi to come up with that much."
Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the dog official came for the refugees outside the city!
Earlier, I heard that this dog official used the aid of the refugees to win over some merchants in Chang'an City to raise money.I didn't expect this person to come to such a place shamelessly and ask these girls for money.
Yu'er was scornful in her heart, so she withdrew her hand and didn't continue to knock on the door.
After there was absolutely no movement outside the door, Meng Qiucheng smiled at Jinxi, "You are quite adaptable!"
"Now you can say, why me!" Jin Xi asked bluntly, not wanting to go around in circles with her.
Meng Qiucheng grabbed Jinxi's hand and said with a grin, "You really want to know?"
Although she knew that she was a woman, her behavior was no different from that of a rascal in the market, and she still felt very conflicted in her heart.She withdrew her hand suddenly, her face turned cold, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. It's just that I won't help you without a reasonable explanation!"
Seeing her serious appearance, Meng Qiucheng couldn't help but smile more intensely.
She let go and nodded, "I really want to ask you to approach you in such a way! Of course, if you help me, I can also help you with the matter you want to investigate.
As for you, you are Liu Ziyu's adopted daughter, and after Liu Ziyu was executed, you have never seen him again.Afterwards, you accompanied Princess Jingrong until Princess Jingrong was taken back to the palace.You are alone and have nowhere to go, so you stay in Yongle Temple!
Three years ago, Yongle Temple was on fire, and you secretly ran to the back mountain to escape the disaster because of your fun!Later, the government judged that the Yongle Temple fire was an accidental disaster.You don't believe the results, and you want to find out the cause of the fire.
You know that Liu Ziyu's only daughter died in Huaizhou, so you borrowed her name to come to Chang'an!You stayed in the Yanyu Building and wanted to get close to King Liang, and you wanted to investigate the fire at Yongle Temple through the help of King Fucheng behind him. "
Jin Xi stared at the corrupt official in front of her, and she was more thoughtful than many men.If this person is really like what she has heard, I am afraid that the people in Chang'an City will not live in peace.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "So you already know my every move!"
"It's not very clear! The cowherd boy you like in the back mountain of Yongle Temple, I haven't found out where he is now. And when you were young, you fought with the vegetable farmer's daughter near Yongle Temple and ruined other people's new clothes For this reason, Master Hui En took you to apologize to others. It is a pity that I have not found out where the vegetable farmer's daughter is now!"
Jin Xi frowned. If she didn't mention these things, she wouldn't remember them.Unexpectedly, this person has a clear grasp of her past in every detail.She felt a little scared, this man was shrewd and cunning, totally different from those mediocre corrupt officials.She didn't know how much this man knew about her.
Seeing that she was silent, Meng Qiucheng leaned close to her ear, and the warm and humid air entered her ears, but the words he said were not so ambiguous and romantic.
"And the girl next to you, I haven't found her origin either!"
Jinxi was slightly startled by Meng Qiucheng's intentional or unintentional reminder.Yu'er is the housekeeper's maid of her adoptive father Liu Ziyu's house, and she is the only daughter of Liu Ziyu since she was a child.A few years ago, Yongle Temple was on fire, and she was alone.
Then she heard that Liu Ziyu's daughter had died. This news was told by Yu'er who traveled thousands of miles from Huaizhou to find Yongle Temple.
Later, she and Yu'er returned to Huaizhou and came to Chang'an as Liu Ziyu's daughter.She wanted to investigate the fire at Yongle Temple, so Yuer accompanied her.
She had never doubted Yu'er's identity, and after Meng Qiucheng reminded her, she suddenly felt afraid.Meng Qiucheng was able to investigate her affairs in such detail, how could he fail to find out Yu'er's identity.
But in the past three years, she has been with Yuer every day. If Yuer wanted to frame her, she would have died thousands of times.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that all these encounters might have something to do with the Yongle Temple fire.She was lured to Chang'an step by step, and then fell into an invisible struggle step by step.Among them, Yuer played a key role.Then why did Yuer lie to her?Who is she?
Meng Qiucheng's gaze never left Jinxi's face, and she could see every subtle expression on her face.She did not find out Yu'er's identity, but it was not without trace.
It's just that she didn't want to reveal too much before she got Jin Xi's clear promise to cooperate with her.
But she mentioned these, enough to attract Jin Xi's attention.
"You doubt Yu'er?" Jin Xi thought for a while before asking.
Meng Qiucheng shook his head frankly, "I'm not suspicious, I'm just a little curious, she is an enemy or a friend. You are in a dangerous situation now, because your existence involves the interests of the people in the palace. Once your identity is revealed, you will die!" You want to investigate the case of the Yongle Temple fire, do you think it will be enough to rely on only one auxiliary king? Besides, he may not help you!
In addition to the prime minister's party and the intervention of the queen mother, you only have a [-]% chance.
However, I know that there is someone who can help you! "
Jin Xi lowered her eyes, fluttering her long eyelashes slightly, with a little helplessness and worry on her face, "You are talking about the emperor? But how can it be so easy to get the top of the Hundred Flowers List? Besides, the emperor has no real power in his hands, even if I entered the palace to meet the emperor, so what can I do!"
Meng Qiucheng smiled faintly, "Actually, it's my purpose to let you see the emperor. As for the person who helped you, he should be regarded as your old acquaintance, and you will naturally know in the future. Now, I need you to promise me one thing." !"
"what's up?"
"Everything is according to my arrangement! You have alarmed the people in Yongwang's mansion. Without my help, the people in Yongwang's mansion will find you soon. Of course, I want to see the emperor because of your adoptive father, because I want the emperor to thoroughly investigate Deng Zhiqing's rebellion case!"
Jin Xi's hands were tightly squeezed together, she stood up, and then sat down slowly.Looking at Meng Qiucheng with a frown, she never expected that this was Meng Qiucheng's goal.
"Who the hell are you!"
Meng Qiucheng didn't shy away from her gaze, the fundus of his eyes were reddish, revealing a rare frightening expression.She clenched her fists tightly, thinking of the unjust case back then, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
For many years, she has been moving towards the truth.After painstakingly deploying for so long, there has been no progress.She must have a chance to be promoted, a chance to meet the emperor and get his attention.
If Jinxi wants to investigate the Yongle Temple fire case, she knows that some people in the deep palace may be involved in it.It's not that the emperor can't intervene in this matter, but it's not suitable for me to intervene!Because the emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, even if Jin Xi sees the emperor, the emperor will agree to investigate, but it may not be clear.
The rebellion case back then was different from the Yongle Temple fire case. This case implicated various forces in the DPRK and China.The emperor will definitely help her, because the emperor has grown up and he wants to take back the military power.Moreover, no matter what the outcome of the treason case was, it was in his favor.
Therefore, whether there is a chance for this case to be re-investigated depends entirely on the emperor.
Looking at the reflection in Jinxi's eyes, Meng Qiucheng finally opened his mouth.
"Deng Zhiqing, it's my father!"
……
At night, it was very quiet, and the more quiet it was, it meant that there must be some dark waves behind it.They were like a great fishing net, shrouded in darkness, to catch the fish caught by the waves.
Meng Qiucheng sat in the courtyard, staring at the cool moonlight in the sky.The snow stopped, but the cold did not decrease by half.
After coming out of the Misty Rain Building, she got the answer she wanted, and she also found the person who could help her.But she was not happy at all.
Because the road ahead will become more and more difficult, everything she has painstakingly deployed will start to move forward step by step according to her plan at this moment.She is making a huge chessboard, and even she herself is a piece on this chessboard.
She has no regrets, and she must be careful with every step.Once you make a mistake and involve any step, you may lose everything!
Meng Qiucheng sighed, and the hot air in his mouth dissipated into the cold night.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, a black shadow shuttled between the dead trees and stopped in front of Meng Qiucheng after a while.
Meng Qiucheng was not surprised, "Found it?"
Hei Ying took off the black veil on his bottom, revealing a pockmarked face.He nodded, threw a sack on his shoulder to the ground heavily, and gasped, "Found it!"
"Heh, it's faster than I thought! Where's Yu?"
"Ayu asked me to bring the body back first, he went to Yongwang's mansion!"
Meng Qiucheng paused, and his face became serious, "Ah Yu went alone?"
"Yes!"
Meng Qiucheng gave another meal, A Yu would never do anything without her permission.Unless the incident happened suddenly and Ayu found something was wrong, he would investigate it.
Her eyelids twitched suddenly, which was not a good premonition.
"Master Zhuang, open the sack!"
"it is good!"
The mouth of the sack was tied with a loose buckle by a hemp rope, which could be loosened with just a pull on the end of the rope.Master Zhuang moved quickly, he lifted the sack upside down, and poured out the people inside.
Maybe this person has been dead for some days, even in this weather, the body still exudes a disgusting smell.
Meng Qiucheng pinched his nose and squatted beside the corpse to examine it carefully.
From the looks of her face, she was dressed like an ordinary farmer, with a thick layer of calluses on her hands.But if it is really a farmer, the cocoon will not only appear on the index finger.Especially on the side of the second knuckle of the index finger, the callus is very thick.Obviously, the cocoon on it is from holding the sword all the year round.
Meng Qiucheng reached out to uncover his collar, and there were five bruised finger prints.She reached out and touched the neck of the corpse, and the neck bone was directly broken.It seems that the person who killed him was a Lianjiazi.
"Master Zhuang, where was the man discovered?"
"It's in the dry well in the woods outside the city. However, Ayu and I checked nearby, and there is no sign of a fight. It should be abandoned there after death! Oh, yes, from this person, And found this!" Master Zhuang took out something from his pocket and handed it to Meng Qiucheng.
Meng Qiucheng took a glance and said, "Master Zhuang, bring more people and go to Prince Yong's Mansion immediately! We must rescue Ah Yu before dawn!"
The author has something to say: Meng Qiucheng: I regret telling you my real identity now!
Jin Xi: Why?
Meng Qiucheng: Then you will threaten me in turn!
Jin Xi: The heart of a villain!
Meng Qiucheng: I am indeed not a gentleman, so just in case...
Jin Xi narrowed her eyes and stared at Meng Qiucheng: So what are you going to do?
Meng Qiucheng said straightforwardly: Be your husband-in-law! ! !

Meng Qiucheng glanced outside the door, picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea to take a sip. "I believe in you, but that doesn't mean I believe in everyone!"
