The Yong'an Temple fire has been widely circulated in recent days, and the reconstruction project has also been delayed.The reason is that someone in Yongle Temple once witnessed a ghost ringing the bell and praying to Buddha in the middle of the night. This person was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.

Woke up the next day with a high fever and kept talking nonsense.

The most often said is, "There are ghosts, there are ghosts!"

The reconstruction of Yongle Temple is in charge of King Yong. When something like this happened, King Yong's first thought was to kill people.Unexpectedly, before his people did anything, the frightened man hanged himself from the beam at home the next day.

Therefore, the injustice of the Yongle Temple fire case was also passed on from word to mouth, and in the end, many versions were added.

This incident angered King Yong, and anyone who heard someone mention it would be arrested by the guards of King Yong's mansion and thrown into prison.

The jail in the county government office in Chang'an was almost overcrowded, but Meng Qiucheng just sat in the county government office leisurely and didn't care at all!

In short, King Yong asked Qi Wei to arrest someone and deliver it, and she accepted it without fail, and she was very obedient on the surface.

But this mediocre king can arrest people and put them in prison, but it is difficult to stop the mouths of people all over the world.On the contrary, it is suspicious because of his actions!People began to speculate that the fire in Yongle Temple might have something to do with King Yong!

After the Changyuan Festival, the officials in Chang'an changed.Her position has not changed, and the position of the Heyun envoy has not changed, but Zhang Shuli's favorite student, Shao Tong, has taken the post of prefect.

She is just a small county magistrate, and she is in charge of some trivial matters around the capital, and all she accepts are small cases with long and short history.This prefect is above her and is in charge of the entire capital.

So she deliberately dragged it until after Shao Tong took office, and then ordered people to load it on the official ship bound for Xiliang.

Logically speaking, the prefect would not interfere with He Yunshi's affairs, but Meng Qiucheng wanted him to intervene, so there were many ways.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the rare sun, she said to the yamen servant beside her, "Go to Prince Yong's Mansion and tell Vice Captain Qi that the official ship to Xiliang is about to depart."

The yamen servant took the order and ran out in a hurry.

Although the sun was out that day, the wind was still very cold.Chunshan turned cold and froze the cattle to death, and Meng Qiucheng felt a little cold in his official robes.After looking around for a while, he sat down at a tea stand in a shelter from the wind, counting the time, Shao Tong would probably be here soon.

Before that, she had sent out the news that someone was escorting the contraband. This Shaotong was upright, not afraid of the powerful, and it was a matter within the capital, so naturally he would not stand by and watch.

In addition to the last palace banquet, he had a very bad image of himself, as long as it involved her, Shao Tong would not let it go easily.

King Yong wanted to use her, and if something happened, he would not protect her.Therefore, she wants to accept King Yong's personal salt in full view, and with the testimony of the prefect, it is impossible for King Yong to rogue her.

After sitting for a while, Shao Tong brought people to the river terminal.He saw Meng Qiucheng at a glance, ignored him, went straight to the official ship, and ordered the servants who followed, "The goods shipped from Chang'an to Xiliang must be carefully inspected by this officer. If there is anything shady here, No one can bear the responsibility of disturbing the friendship between the two countries! Do you hear me!"

After hearing this, the yamen servants all responded, "Yes!" They hurriedly opened each box of goods to check.

Meng Qiucheng ignored him, took out money from his pocket and handed it to the tea stand owner, ordered a pot of tea, warmed his hands while drinking.

After a while, the yamen servant she had sent to Prince Yong's Mansion came back.People from Yongwang's mansion followed behind, but it was not Qi Wei, but the man with the scar that he had seen in Yongwang's Bieyuan before.

Meng Qiucheng looked up and thought to himself, it seems that this person has a high status in Yongwang's mansion!

The man stood in front of Meng Qiucheng with a sullen expression, looked down at him, and said coldly, "Master Meng, the prince said these things, you must be careful."

Meng Qiucheng then stood up and smiled, "Naturally! I don't know what the guard's name is?"

The man with the scar cast a glance at Meng Qiucheng, "Lu Chong!"

"Hehe, it turned out to be Bodyguard Lu. This is the first time that I have been entrusted by the prince. There are many things I don't understand. I need Bodyguard Lu to explain more in the future! After the official ship is sent away, I wonder if Bodyguard Lu can treat me to a light meal? "

"No need!" He didn't say much, and after finishing speaking, he took people to deliver the goods to the official ship himself.

At this time, Shao Tong was in the boat, and when he saw someone coming up, he immediately asked vigilantly, "Who is it?"

Lu Chong was a little surprised. The people behind him were carrying goods, neither up nor down!He glanced sideways at Meng Qiucheng who was standing on the shore, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Meng Qiucheng unhurriedly lifted the hem of his official robe and boarded the boat.

She stops Shaotong and pulls him aside. "Master Shao, this is Lu's bodyguard from Prince Yong's mansion. King Yong said that a batch of porcelain was transported to the south of the Yangtze River with the help of the officials. Look, can we accommodate it?"

Shao Tong's face darkened, "Everything on the official ship must be inspected routinely! Even the people in Yongwang's mansion, if the rules are broken today, will the official ship's belongings not be inspected tomorrow? Mr. Meng , as the county magistrate of Chang'an, do you still want to try the law by yourself?"

Meng Qiucheng shook his head hastily, "I dare not!"

Shaotong pushed Meng Qiucheng away, stared at Lu Chongdao, "Open it!"

Lu Chong clenched his fists, Meng Qiucheng saw that he seemed about to make a move, and hurried forward to block him, "Guard Lu, don't be impulsive!"

He smiled coldly and said in a low voice, "Lord Meng, what a city! I didn't expect that Master Meng would dare to ask someone to inspect Lord Yong's goods. If there is anything wrong today, King Yong will not let you go!"

"Guard Lu, calm down, calm down! This, this is really not a notification from the lower officials."

Seeing Meng Qiucheng and Lu Chong whispering to each other, Shaotong felt that there was something tricky about it!Immediately stepped forward and pulled Meng Qiucheng, "Does the official need special notice when he comes to inspect? Since King Yong wants to borrow the official ship to transport the goods, then the official will not be unconventional. It's just that the goods must be inspected!"

"No need, I'm out of luck with this product!" Lu Chong said in a low voice.

Shao Tong is not stupid, and Lu Chong changed his mind and wanted to leave as soon as he heard about the inspection, there must be something wrong with it.It's not surprising that Meng Qiucheng, a foolish and foolish official, promised to help in order to curry favor with King Yong.It is not surprising that there is no problem with the goods.

But since it's here, he's going to confirm this product.

"Come on, inspect the goods!"

The servant of the prefect's mansion stepped forward to inspect the goods, but the guards of Yongwang's mansion refused to let them inspect the goods. For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate, neither willing to back down.

Meng Qiucheng was really bored seeing that the two sides didn't make a move or leave.

It's not a good thing to go on like this!It seems that she needs to add another fire to make the atmosphere more tense.

She moved her steps and quietly stood beside the goods, a dagger slipped out of her wide sleeve.Hold it in your hand, just revealing the edge of the blade.He secretly cut a gap on the sack, and immediately put away the dagger.The trick succeeded, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The yamen servant of the prefect's mansion saw what the sack had fallen to the ground, and stepped forward curiously.Pushing away the white objects on the ground with his hands, he shouted in surprise, "Master Taishou, these are salt! Someone is selling private salt!"

With this shout, the people from Prince Yong's Mansion immediately drew their swords.

Selfishly selling six words of private salt is not a trivial matter. Shao Tong was still a little scrupulous at first. Although he had doubts, he had no evidence and went to investigate rashly. If he found nothing, he would be unlucky!He has always done things, and never takes risks unless he is absolutely sure.

Just now, he wanted to test out the details of the guard of the Yong Palace, if he insisted on stopping him, there must be something wrong.

Now, there is no need for him to try again, the facts have proved that there is indeed a problem with these goods, so he is not afraid anymore.

Shao Tong walked up to Lu Chong, "Come here, take a group of people into prison,"

Lu Chong clenched his fists and was about to strike. This man is a practitioner, with a fierce face and sinister eyes.Those people he brought are not good at anything!Prince Yong's Mansion does not support idlers, so those who can stay in Prince Yong's Mansion are naturally good hands!How could the group of yamen servants behind Shaotong be the opponents of these people?

If Lu Chong cannot be caught, King Yong still has a chance to argue.Meng Qiucheng thought for a while and hurried forward again, pressed Lu Chong's arm, and persuaded in a low voice, "Guard Lu, you must not do anything! Think about it, there is no such a coincidence in this matter. The officials never revealed anything , this prefect was not invited by the lower officials. It is obvious that someone is targeting the prince!

At this time, if you start a fight with the prefect, you will fall into the hands of others, and you will be fooled by others!Beating the imperial court official, and with all the witnesses and material evidence, it will be difficult for the prince to protect you at that time!Maybe it will even hurt the prince.

Guard Lu, just bear with me, and I will inform His Royal Highness King Yong to find a solution! "

Lu Chong glanced at Meng Qiucheng. Although he doubted Meng Qiucheng, what Meng Qiucheng said seemed to make sense.He looked at Shao Tong again, he was notoriously tough, and he might suffer a loss if he confronted him head-on.King Yong urged him thousands of times.Be careful with this batch of goods. Now that it has been exposed, we can only find a way to make big things into small things, and make small things into nothing!

He can't do it, maybe King Yong will have a way!

After thinking about it for a while, he threatened in a deep voice, "Lord Shao, Lu Chong is a member of Prince Yong's Mansion. My lord must think clearly about things!"

Shao Tong stared into his dark eyes, and smiled coldly, "From the relatives of the emperor to the common people, as long as the law is violated, I will never tolerate it! Take it away!"

Lu Chong did not resist and let Shao Tong take him away.

Meng Qiucheng heaved a sigh of relief, the private salt incident was originally a malpractice of the imperial court, and if this bad habit was changed by taking this opportunity, it would be a blessing for the common people.

Meng Qiucheng smiled, and bowed respectfully to Shao Tong to salute, "Lord Taishou, this guard Lu is the close guard of King Yong. Although Your Excellency is fair and honest, this man should be tried in front of King Yong. , what do you say?"

Shao Tong snorted coldly, "Lord Meng, don't think you can scare me by taking the king of Yong! I will join the court in this matter and ask the emperor to make a decision. I will also investigate this private salt!"

Meng Qiucheng looked panicked, "Master Taishou, this..."

"Master Meng, I would like to advise you again today. I hope you will be more careful in your actions in the future. Don't let me get caught! If I let you get caught, I will definitely not condone and pamper you!"

Meng Qiucheng lowered his head in fear, his eyes were full of smiles.

She didn't straighten up until Shaotong left.She patted the official robe and finished the cup of tea at the tea stand.At this moment, it's time for someone to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to inform him!

After dinner, Meng Qiucheng went out.It's just that at this point today, what she went to was not the Yanyu Tower, but a big house with three entrances and three exits in the north of the city.

This house belongs to Meng Qiucheng, and usually only Ah Yu and Feng San know about this place.

When the house was bought, it was said that the house was not clean and haunted.Meng Qiucheng is not afraid of ghosts, she is afraid of people who are more insidious than ghosts.What's more, there are no ghosts in this world, there are ghosts in people's hearts.

However, because it is a haunted house, the surrounding residents have all moved out.

It's very quiet here, and it's convenient for her to do things.

As soon as she entered, Ah Yu greeted her.

"Is everything done?"

Ayu nodded, "According to your words, I am lying in ambush near the pier in the morning. People have also been caught!"

"Is she alone?"

"Just her!"

"Forget it! You go tell Feng San and ask her to pay attention. There is no one in this room, and the disappearance of the girls will inevitably make people suspicious."

Ayu nodded again, turned around and went up to the roof.

Seeing his action, Meng Qiucheng secretly smiled, he is really impatient!

The author has something to say: Lu Chong: Did you tell me the secret?

Meng Qiucheng waved his hands again and again: Wronged!My admiration for King Yong is like a torrent of river water!Loyalty can shine on the sun and the moon!

Lu Chong: Then why did Shao Tong come?

Meng Qiucheng: The prince has been targeted!Was it made against you?The main output is easy to be targeted!

Author: I made it!I am easy to be targeted!Because I play the game well (badly), I am targeted every day, so angry!
