MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 95
Meng Jiayue walked into the room with tremella soup, Yao Kun looked up from the table and smiled at her.
"You have a cough, drink some soup." Meng Jiayue put the tray on the table, and Yao Kun hurriedly moved the file away to make room for her.
Meng Jiayue handed him the soup, Yao Kun drank it, and asked her, "Do you have a copy for Mr. Huo's house?"
"Yes. I went in person, and Mr. Cao's attendant came out to pick him up."
Yao Kun nodded, knowing that Meng Jiayue was sent to the double's room. Knowing that there are no more than ten substitutes, all of them are safe and reliable. If someone really was watching in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to strike, they would definitely be deceived by this blindfold. Yao Kun said: "Everything is as usual, isn't it?" He looked out the window, the guest courtyard is not too far away, if there is any big movement and someone shouts, he can hear it here. The house was peaceful and peaceful, apparently nothing had happened.
"It is indeed as usual." Meng Jiayue cleaned up the table for Yao Kun and sat down.
Yao Kun held her hand and said: "So don't worry, you didn't sleep well last night. Mr. Huo will be fine. There are so many government officials and guards, one guard outside the mansion, one guard outside the courtyard, In addition to the guards everywhere, everyone is not allowed to be single, not allowed to leave the team, even if someone is mixed in the guard team, they can't act. The guards are strict, and there will be no accidents, so you can rest assured."
Meng Jiayue nodded, she had tried it herself, and it was only after being stared at by many eyes that she could reach Huo Mingshan's house when delivering a sweet soup. It's really impossible for someone to break into Huo Mingshan's house while avoiding people's eyes and ears. It's just that she wasn't worried about this. She had to find a chance to talk. After thinking about it, she asked, "I heard that the capital has a holy order?"
"Yes. Taiwei Liang Dehao and Master Liang are the inspectors, and they are going to Mao County. Our Pingnan is also within the scope of the inspection." Yao Kun roughly explained, saying that this inspection is mainly aimed at Shi Pingqing, after all, Mao There was a catastrophe in the county, and the court had to clean up the situation. Otherwise, Dongling and Nanqin would not be able to explain, no matter whether they sent troops to fight or not, if the news got out, all the countries would think that Great Xiao was irrelevant.
After Meng Jiayue listened, she pondered for a while and said: "My lord, once the inspectors come out, they will conduct strict investigations and cruel trials. All local officials and the cause of the case are within the scope of inspection and supervision. They are the emperor's brothers, eyes and ears, holding the holy will in their hands. Daquan, we are in the situation with Nanqin now, and we have gone through a lot of things before, sir, don't take it lightly."
"Ma'am, don't worry too much. The inspector this time is Taiwei Liang Dehao, Mr. Liang. He is decent, cautious and gentle, and has three generations of friendship with General Long's family. This time General Long led the army here, and he strongly recommended him. Recently we Every strategy and every decision made with Nanqin has the opinion and support of General Long. If Mr. Liang wants to find mistakes in these matters, it is the fault of General Long. If he doesn't care about me, he has to Consider General Long. Besides, there are a lot of bad things in Maojun, and they can check them out. The official authority and political achievements can be softened from Maojun. "Yao Kun comforted Meng Jiayue, and said: "I am worried about when they will arrive, and I want them to meet Mr. Huo. This is also a great achievement of our Pingnan, but Mr. Huo stayed here Staying there for too long is indeed a hidden danger. At that time, General Long will blame me for not following the agreement."
Meng Jiayue interjected: "I'm not worried about other things. I just want to ask my lord, these years, Qian Pei has acted arrogantly, and my lord has always remembered his filial piety and never pursued him too much. Will he stay like this?" What kind of handle is in his hands?"
Yao Kun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, what did you think? If Qian Peiruo commits a crime, Mr. Qian will bear the brunt of the disaster. Firstly, he is from Fu'an County, and secondly, because of the relationship between father and son. I'm just a student. It's still one level away. Look at Mr. Qian, who looks anxious and guilty? If there were any serious mistakes, we must have dealt with them. Didn't Qian Pei be fined and convicted back then."
"It's all about compensating and apologizing for a few lessons. How could he ever be sentenced to a heavy sentence? He turned around and avoided the ten big punishments last time." Meng Jiayue was serious and serious, "My lord, take care of me." Think about it, is there any shortcoming that will fall into Qian Pei's hands? Has he committed any serious crime with proven evidence, but you and Mr. Qian shielded him and let him go, harming other people? "
Yao Kun was taken aback: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I be so confused." There must be people who turn a blind eye and close one eye, but if he commits a major crime and the evidence of the crime is conclusive, it's not like he doesn't want to I want the Usha hat, how can I cover it up for this sake. "It's not as simple as losing an official if this kind of thing goes wrong. I have to worry about you and the child anyway, and I will definitely not do such stupid things."
Meng Jiayue stared at him: "Is there something that the adults didn't pay attention to, but Qian Pei did it secretly, and it might fall on the adults?"
"Ma'am." Yao Kun held her hand and looked back at her seriously: "What are you worried about? Although it is inconvenient for the inspector to come here, there will be no trouble."
"Miss An came to talk to me yesterday, and she was asking about my lord and Qian Pei inside and out."
Yao Kun laughed: "An Ruochen has always been sensitive and cautious about the word Qian Pei, don't forget what happened to her back then. Now that she is about to marry a general, she will probably be afraid of unexpected changes. After finally climbing to this position, Do you think she doesn't care? Qian Pei wants to deal with her, and that's what she's afraid of. "
"My lord. I don't think so." Meng Jiayue said: "Miss An is not as proud of climbing a high branch as my lord thinks. From my point of view, General Long's marriage letter seems to have given her a sword. Use it to suppress opponents. You see, she first took me to An's house to show off her prestige, then asked you and Mr. Qian to help teach Fan Qianpei a lesson, and then came to ask me about the county government. How is this like? It's a posture of shyness waiting to be married, but it seems to be planning every step of the way."
"A daughter of a small businessman turned into the wife of a future general. If it was me, I would deliberately put on a show of prestige. It's just a girl's narrow-mindedness, and I don't want to make a big scene. If the lady feels troubled by her marriage, she will send her away." Just go and help her with the matter. You say that Mr. Huo is here, and the inspector is coming soon, and you have a lot of things to do. These are not words to fool her, they are all true. Besides, now In such a situation, the marriage certificate is just a marriage certificate, the general will not have time to come back to hold a wedding with her, just put on a show and deal with it."
"I'm not bothered. Ms. An is worth dealing with. I helped her. In the future, I can let her speak for the general." Meng Jiayue talked about her own plan, and said: "This girl is not good. Simple, my lord, don't think that General Long's liking for her is a blessing from the sky. From her desperate escape to the Yamen to beat the drums, to breaking Liu Zen's case, which one is not unexpected? I don't look down on her, so naturally You will feel that there must be a reason for her to do things. My lord, does Ms. An suspect that Qian Pei has something to do with Xizuo?"
Yao Kun was taken aback, and then laughed: "You get along with her a lot, could it be that she has influenced you too? Why is everything meticulous, and everyone is meticulous? If Qian Pei is careful, how can Mr. Qian do it?" Don’t know? Could it be that Mr. Qian is also meticulous?”
Meng Jiayue frowned, this is indeed impossible.
"Maybe An Ruochen just wants to show you a pity, to be close to you, and to mention Qian Peijiao from time to time to remind you of her unsatisfactory life in the past. If you mention it too much, it will make you suspicious."
"I'm really suspicious." Meng Jiayue sighed, "My lord, this Miss An is loyal and courageous, and she is determined to investigate crimes in the city for General Long. Everything she does must be related to this. Your lord I still remember that when she came back to get close to me for the first time, it was not because she really moved me to be considerate to the common people, but because she wanted to attract adults to deal with Liu Ze."
"She approached you for the first time with ulterior motives, so you felt that what she said to you later meant something."
"I don't mind listening to what she has to say. I'm just worried about my lord, fearing that my lord will be manipulated by Qian Pei. If this is the case, then I have to deal with it quickly..." She looked at Yao Kun's face, He smiled and said: "Okay, I'm suspicious, sir, don't bother me, I just don't nag."
"You miss me, how can I be bothered." Yao Kun smiled softly. When Meng Jiayue turned around to clean up the bowls and spoons, the smile on Yao Kun's face slowly disappeared, and he looked at her figure in a daze. "Don't worry." He suddenly said, "Nothing happened. I made it very clear to Qian Pei that if he commits a crime and violates the law, I will definitely punish him severely and will not cover up and condone."
Meng Jiayue turned around and smiled at him. Yao Kun changed the topic and said: "We should send Mr. Huo away as soon as possible according to the time agreed with General Long. Don't wait for Mr. Liang and the others. You are right to remind me, it is better to be careful in everything."
Huo Mingshan sat in the room, looking at the closed window. He only needs to stay in this room for another day, and he will be able to go to Beijing in the early morning of tomorrow. Few people know about this schedule, and few people know that he lives here alone. There are guards in the courtyard outside, and there are guards outside the courtyard. He doesn't open the door or the window, only his attendant Cao Yihan will pretend to come over to clean up the sundries and secretly bring him food.
Cao Yihan was very unhappy with this arrangement and felt sorry for him, but Huo Mingshan knew that this was a measure he had to take. He agreed with what Long Teng said, the danger in Zhonglan City was far higher than that on Shangjing Road.
But with such tight guards, Huo Mingshan felt that he should be able to leave Zhonglan City safely.
Take one step at a time, no matter how dangerous it is, someone has to do it.
Huo Mingshan glanced at the sword on the table, and couldn't help smiling when he thought of the scene when he handed the sword to Meng Jiayue. Seventeen years passed in a blink of an eye, and the prefect's daughter has become the prefect's wife, a wife and a mother. Seventeen years of peace.
Before the sigh disappeared from his mind, the hair on his neck stood up suddenly, and he felt that he knew what happened faster than his perception. When he realized it, a sword was already on his neck.
"Prime Minister Huo."
A woman's voice. It looks familiar, but I can't remember who it was.
Huo Mingshan's whole body froze, he didn't expect who the voice was, but he realized that a person appeared out of nowhere in his room.
The person who wanted to take his life - the assassin.
"Don't make a sound. You called people in, it's just a few more people to be buried with you." The voice was cold and emotionless.
Huo Mingshan finally remembered, not from the voice, but from this accent. He knew only one woman who could speak in that accent.
"Zou Yun?"
"it's me."
Huo Mingshan's heart moved, and he turned around slowly.
The sword on his neck didn't move, neither left nor tightened.
Huo Mingshan finally came face to face with the assassin. He looked at each other in surprise: "Are you a monk?"
"Not really, it's just easier this way." No one would ask a nun why she lived alone, no one would inquire about her daily life and marriage, and no neighbors would visit to greet her. Everything was simple.
She still doesn't like nonsense like before. Huo Mingshan looked at the sword on his neck and knew that he had better hurry up, otherwise when she got impatient, he would never have a chance to speak.
Without asking how she came here, or who was her envoy, Huo Mingshan picked the most important question and said, "Do I have to be killed? I want to save my life and do a very important thing. It's about Tens of millions of lives were lost in the war between the two countries."
"You must die."
But she hasn't done it yet.
Therefore, Huo Mingshan felt that there was still a glimmer of hope. "Maybe we can work out a way..."
Meditation nunnery. Mr. Xie carefully inspected the empty nunnery. He saw the side yard with the locked gate.
He walked over.
