    One hundred and twenty-nine Taking credit

    Afternoon, Xinhe Tea Shop, Jing¡¯an West Street.

    The warm afternoon sun shines in the elegant tea house. The waiter in Tsing Yi lies listlessly dozing behind the counter. The strong fragrance of tea lingers in the air. There are a few tea products sparsely placed on the shelves. The shop is empty.  There was not a single customer - Meng Ju really doubted whether Mr. Yi's tea shop was opened specifically to make his own money?

    Hearing the sound of Meng Ju coming in, the waiter raised his head from the counter and weakly greeted: "Sir, what kind of tea would you like?"

    Meng Ju stared at the young man in front of him: The last few times he met Mr. Yi, this young man was always present. He also knew his identity, but now there is no one else present. Do you think this guy showed such a poker face?  What are you doing with your face?

    "Is Mr. Yi here? I'm looking for him."

    "Our shopkeeper is out for dinner and socializing, sir, why don't you come over after dinner"

    "Find him and come back! The court didn't give you money to pretend to be stupid, eat, drink and pick up girls!"

    The man's thick eyebrows were raised, his figure suddenly straightened up, and his eyes shot towards Meng Ju like sharp arrows. Meng Ju suddenly felt an iron-blooded aura unique to the battlefield coming towards him - the tall man in blue shirt in front of him was not even half a man.  Lazy and wretched, this man is clearly an outstanding man who has experienced battles and battles!

    Meng Ju squinted at him: "What, you are not convinced? I am a fifth-rank Yingyang captain, what rank are you? Tell me, let's compare?"

    The boy named Xu and Meng Ju looked at each other nervously for a while. His straight body suddenly stooped again, and his awe-inspiring aura disappeared without a trace.  He bowed and whispered: "My guest, you are joking. I am just a tea seller. How can I compare with a noble person like you?"

    He politely asked Meng Ju to sit down and made tea for Meng Ju: "Sir, I'm going to find the shopkeeper right now. You can sit down and have a sip of hot tea. It will be soon."

    The clerk went out to find Mr. Yi. Looking at the young man's hunched back, Meng Ju suddenly felt a little embarrassed.  Because of Ye Canan's incident, he came here holding back his anger, but the hateful Mr. Yi didn't see it, and all his anger was directed at this unrelated young man. Seeing that the other party accepted it without any resistance, he felt embarrassed.  .

    After drinking several cups of tea, Tata¡¯s footsteps were heard at the door. Mr. Yi and the guy were back.

    Mr. Yi was still such a coquettish guy. He was swinging around with a fan in the middle of winter, his face was flushed, his steps were staggering, and he looked like a literate man. Meng Ju could smell it even before he got close to him.  The tangy smell of wine.

    "Ah, our guest is here again. Welcome! The products in this small shop are the best in Jingan. Everyone knows that. If you don't believe me, you can ask around here. Who doesn't know that Xinhe Tea is of high quality and low price?"

    "Stop talking nonsense to me!" Meng Ju couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Mr. Yi into the inner room. The other person screamed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't be so rude, we are all gentlemen."

    Entering the dark warehouse, the two sat down opposite each other.  Mr. Yi had obviously drunk a lot. He burped and said dissatisfiedly: "Well, Colonel Meng, I find that you really have a grudge against me! You always pick me to come here when I see a beautiful woman -  -Forget it, you have something to do with me? If you have something to say, tell me quickly. After that, I have to go back to socialize!"

    Looking at that shameless drunk face, Meng Ju wanted to punch him to death.  It was obvious that he had sent him secret codes several times in a hurry, but today he finally managed to get rid of Lu Liulou and sneaked out to meet him, but he said innocently: "You want to see me for something?"

    "Mr. Yi, didn't you give me the code to tell me that there was an emergency and I needed to contact you?"

    "Have you?" Mr. Yi, drunk, looked surprised: "Have I, Mr. Yi, said this?"

    Looking at Meng Juji's burning eyes and clenched fists, Mr. Yi hurriedly slapped his head: "Oh, I remembered that I sent you a code two days ago because of something urgent - but now it's all over.  Well, there¡¯s no rush then.¡±

    "What's the emergency?"

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing urgent, just a small matter¡ªsomeone wants to kill you, Captain Yingyang, so I¡¯m telling you to run away.¡±

    Mr. Yi spoke in an understatement, and Meng Ju listened indifferently - if he had heard this news a few days ago, he would not have been so frightened that he jumped up on the spot.  But now, after experiencing too many shocking things, including even dead people coming back to life, life and death, Meng Ju no longer worries about such small things.

    "Is it Shentu Jue or Tuoba Xiong?"

    "Shentu Jue must be involved. I don't know whether Tuoba Xiong was involved. A few days ago, someone on the road hung a hidden flower on your head, with a bounty of eight thousand miles of silver."

      "So little? I'm only worth eight thousand taels of silver?"

    "It's quite a lot! With the current market conditions, the head of a provincial governor or chief envoy is only ten thousand taels of silver! Your little sixth-grade inspector is worth eight thousand taels of silver, which is already a great deal for you! Not only that,  Some people in the government have spread the word that if Inspector Meng is killed, the government will not pursue him, and the officers and soldiers will not take action. Think about it, the risk is small and the profit is big. Who wouldn't want to do it?

    You don¡¯t know, in those days, how many well-known killers came over day and night to grab this bounty!  There are even masters in the local arena who want to make this money, but a few local bosses don't dare to offend the Dongling Guards and suppress them - just ask Lan Zheng about this, he knows better than you.  "

    Meng Ju took a breath of air: "This must be Tuoba Xiong's fault! Who is paying attention to Shen Tu Jue's lost dog? Only Tuo Baxiong is not good enough to touch people in the government."

    Mr. Yi said leisurely: "I don't know, why don't you ask Tuoba Xiong?"

    Looking at this guy¡¯s leisurely manner, which had nothing to do with him, Meng Ju¡¯s teeth itched with hatred.  He sneered and said, "I just want to see who dares to earn these eight thousand taels of silver. Are you willing to die? Do you think the Jing'an Department is full of dead people, and I, Meng Ju, are easy to bully?"

    "Meng Yingyang, you are so naive! If the enemy is really Tuoba Xiong and has lost Ye Jianan's protection, do you really think that the dozens of battle armors and hundreds of soldiers in the Jing'an Department can really protect you? Lan?  Although he is willing to help you, his official position is too low and he does not have a strong background. He can be removed from his post with an order from above. At that time, how can you stop the waves of killers and plots?

    Meng Yingyang, I heard that you are capable of defeating thousands of armies and are invincible in bravery. But no matter how strong you are and you have lost the protection of the government, can you stay vigilant day and night?  There are endless tricks in the world. Can you always be on guard against someone poisoning your food, putting poisonous needles in your shoes, or burning your house down at night?  Can you be careful?  "

    Mr. Yi was drunk and said: "Meng Yingyang, remember what I said today, never rely on the bravery of an ordinary man! Only the powerful can fight against the powerful; the only one who can fight against the organization is the organization. Without the protection of the organization,  , even a heaven-level armored fighter will die!"

    Seeing Meng Ju's stern face, looking very unconvinced, Mr. Yi smiled and said, "However, you don't have to worry, this matter has passed. A few days ago, the Ye family suddenly took action, and two heaven-level Mingjue masters  At the end of the battle, the Ye family's warriors killed more than 300 people in Jing'an City. Not only did they kill all the outside killers, they also killed Dian Shi from the Jing'an Prefecture and a deputy brigade from the Dongping Governor's Prefecture.  The commander-in-chief, two leaders and dozens of military and political officials - these officials usually tend to favor Tuoba Xiong."

    "The Ye family is so cruel? They kill the court officials indiscriminately, aren't they afraid of the consequences?"

    "Hehe, a big family is acting like this. How do you think you are so petty? If you don't kill three to five hundred people, they would be too embarrassed to go out and travel around the world. The Ye family said that these people they killed were all Shen Tu Jue's accomplices.  They are helping the imperial court to eliminate traitors. Those Tsing Yi warriors are really arrogant. They dare to rush into the military camp and kill people in broad daylight. They are so arrogant that no one dares to stop them. Tsk, tsk, with this move of the Ye family, Jing'an City is really going to be bloody!"

    "Tuoba Xiong, doesn't he just ignore it?"

    "Hey, what can Tuoba Xiong do? The only daughter of the Ye family was killed in a mutiny by Tuoba Xiong's men. This incident has shocked the government and the public. The puppet emperor Tuoba Huang, the Grand Master Duanmu Hanyi, the Prime Minister Gao Huan, and the Minister of War  Murong Huai, Luojing Jinwu Guard General Murong Po, Yushi Zhongcheng Wei Ping, Dongling Guard Town Inspector Bai Wusha - all the important officials of the puppet court were overwhelmingly sympathetic to the Ye family, and at the same time they were dissatisfied with Tuoba Xiong. Now,  Tuoba Xiong is currently being criticized a lot. He sent three memorials to the court to plead guilty, but the emperor rejected them all. It was clear that he did not repent deeply enough.

    Now, the Ye family wants to kill a group of remnants of Shen Tu Jue, and it is clear that they want to take revenge for Ye Canan. Now it is too late for Tuoba Xiong to keep a low profile, so how can he dare to obstruct it?  As soon as the Ye family killed those people, Tuoba Xiong immediately expressed his position: "Actually, I saw something was wrong with them. Thank you Mr. Ye for helping us eliminate the traitors!"  ¡¯

    Meng Yingyang, after the Ye family took action, your reward was quickly revoked. It was probably Tuoba Xiong who pretended to be a turtle and removed it when he saw that the situation was not good!  "

    Meng Ju felt very happy after hearing this.  He had stayed in Luojing and talked with Ye Jianxin, and he vaguely understood the subtlety of the current situation.  Tuoba Xiong went too far this time. Originally, the major forces in the DPRK had always maintained a delicate balance. It was common for everyone to struggle and compromise. However, Tuoba Xiong suddenly became interested in the sole heir of the Ye family.  Doing such a dirty trick really breaks the rules and tacit understanding, and everyone feels fear: If Tuoba Xiong is not punished this time, will someone do it next time?  Who will be unlucky next time?

     So, for the slightly outrageous behavior of the Ye family in anger, the court even saw it but pretended not to see it. The ministers in the court all wished that the Ye family would beat Tuoba Xiong harder - Emperor Tuoba Huang retorted  Tuoba Xiong pleaded guilty three times, which was equivalent to giving the Ye family an obvious signal: "You might as well do it more ruthlessly in Northern Xinjiang!"

    The Ye family had been silent in the early stage, but suddenly launched a killing spree. The situation in Jing'an City suddenly reversed, and the forces close to Tuoba Xiong suffered a heavy blow. Of course, the generals of the Six Towns had been ruling Northern Xinjiang for a long time, and their power was impossible.  It was removed so easily.  But at least, this incident gave all parties a serious warning, letting them know that there are people in Northern Xinjiang who the generals of the Six Towns cannot afford to offend, and it was also a heavy blow to Tuoba Xiong's prestige.  .

    "Ye Jianxin has a very accurate grasp of the situation and has been tolerant in the early stage. Until he saw the court's attitude clearly, he immediately took action with anger and no mercy, avenging the Ye family in one fell swoop. The puppet dynasty has such strength and wisdom  Those who have both are indeed our formidable enemies!¡±

    Meng Ju met Ye Jianxin, and he agreed with Mr. Yi's statement that Ye Jianxin was indeed a cold-blooded Machiavellian. He even used tragic events like the death of his daughter as an excuse to take action. Thinking of the resurrected Ye Canaan, Meng Ju felt that  I really don¡¯t want to mention this person again.

    He changed the subject: "Mr. Yi, the money you owe me is almost done, right? You drank so happily, I found that the intelligence station's funds are still very abundant - who told me last time that Beifu officials can't be casual  Alcoholic?"

    When Mr. Yi mentioned this, his face turned red.  He hesitated and said: "This is also for work! I went to Tianxiang Tower with Li Zheng and Bao Chang from the workshop to socialize. This is also to build a good relationship and cover up!"

    Meng Ju almost turned his nose in anger and said, "Why do people like Li Zheng and Bao Chang go to Tianxiang Tower? Mr. Yi, have you become rich recently? Well, thank you Chenghui, thirty thousand taels of silver.  Bring it!¡±

    Mr. Yi hesitated for a while. Meng Ju thought he was going to deny it, but unexpectedly he readily took out a large envelope from his pocket: "There are ten thousand taels of silver notes in it. You take it first and leave the rest."  Yes, let¡¯s wait until the court sends it!¡±

    Meng Ju glanced at Mr. Yi suspiciously: This guy usually asks for money from him as if he were cutting his flesh, why are you so cheerful today?  He opened the envelope and clicked it: "Why are there only nine thousand five hundred taels of silver?"

    "Oh, Meng Ju, are you stupid? Doesn't it cost money to drink wine? You don't know how expensive Ouyang Qingqing's singing and dancing is!"

    Meng Ju snorted. After receiving the ten thousand taels of silver, he didn't bother to care about the deduction of several hundred taels. However, he saw that Mr. Yi's expression was a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it.

    "Mr. Yi, do you have any other ideas? Tell me!"

    "Haha!" Mr. Yi laughed dryly: "I am the most honest person. It's not like you don't know me, Captain Meng"

    "If you don't tell me, I'll just take the money and leave!"

    ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, it¡¯s just that when someone from Beifu asks about it in the future, Meng Yingyang, just say a few words.¡±

    Meng Ju looked at him warily: "What are you talking about?"

    "Captain Meng, you also know that our Beijiang Intelligence Station has little funds and a lot of debts. There is no other way. In order to pay off your money as soon as possible, I have recently thought of some alternative ways to ask Beifu for money. Last time Beifu  Didn¡¯t you order the assassination of Ye Jianan, the governor of Dongping? The reward for this task was ten thousand taels of silver, and now that Ye Jianan is dead, I think this reward will not be taken in vain"

    Meng Ju immediately said: "Everyone knows that Governor Ye Zhentu was the one responsible for Shen Tu's death! I'm warning you, Lao Yi, don't make any calculations about this matter."

    Mr. Yi smiled awkwardly: "Although this is the fact, we can still work on the details! When Ye Canan died, weren't you and your men the only ones present? When Shentu Jue escaped, wasn't Ye Canan  Not dead?

    Actually, the truth of the matter is this: Shentu's decisive attack injured Ye Canan, but she was injured at that time and did not die. Then, Meng Ju rushed to the scene, carried out Beifu's order, and killed her with his own hands!  Meng Yingyang, you are the real hero who killed Ye, the governor of Dongping, the puppet dynasty, and you deserve to be commended by the court!

    "Haha, Meng Ju, when people from Beifu ask about it in the future, just remember to say this!"  In fact, only you, Captain Meng, know what happened. The whole thing was so perfect - ah, what are you doing?  "

    Meng Ju grabbed Mr. Yi by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken.

    His fair face was horribly distorted, his eyes were so angry that they were about to burst out of fire, and he roared in a low voice: "Yi, you can't really be like this"Did Beifu report it?  tell me!  "

    "Let go of Mr. Yi!" The door of the warehouse was slammed open, and a man named Xu appeared at the door of the warehouse. He was holding a sharp dagger, pointing the blade diagonally at Meng Ju's uncovered back, and shouted in a low voice: "Meng Ju  Captain, put down Mr. Yi immediately, or you will be killed!"

    "Xiao Xu, don't take action!" Mr. Yi struggled and gasped, "Don't take action against Colonel Meng! Everyone is on his own!"

    "Sir, but he threatened you!"

    "Put the sword down, don't mess around Uh Meng Ju, let go"

    Meng Ju had no scruples about the sharp sword behind him.  He strangled Mr. Yi's neck and shouted: "Yi, please withdraw that report immediately! Tell Beifu the truth, tell them that I did not kill Ye Canan! I did not harm the governor!"

    At the last sentence, Meng Ju screamed desperately and shrilly, like a wounded wild wolf wailing.

    Mr. Yi's face turned red and his nostrils were breathing heavily. He could not speak and could only stare at the side.

    Meng Ju followed his gaze and saw a large envelope lying quietly on the table.

    There was a banknote worth ten thousand taels in the envelope.

    Meng Ju shivered like a cold: "My surname is Yi, you these ten thousand taels of silver, could it be" He felt dizzy, and involuntarily let go of Mr. Yi's neck, and slumped down on the chair weakly.  superior.

    Mr. Yi bent over, coughing and vomiting desperately, and an unpleasant filthy smell filled the entire warehouse.

    The man named Xu rushed up and separated Meng Ju and Mr. Yi with his body. He pointed his sword at Meng Ju and stared at him warily, fearing that he would go crazy again.

    But Mr. Yi pushed him away and approached Meng Ju.  He looked directly at Meng Ju and said while coughing: "Meng Yingyang, cough, you guessed it right: these ten thousand taels of silver are the reward from Beifu for getting rid of Ye Canaan."
