- One hundred and thirty-one Murong
In the eighth year of Taichang, on October 28th, in the afternoon, the sun was warm.
In the open space at the door of his home, Meng Juyi lay on the soft couch, basking in the sun and staring at the sky in a daze.
He has been lying like this for a whole afternoon.
Cao Min from the Military Intelligence Office came over. He took an official document and wanted Meng Ju to sign it, but Meng Ju didn't even look at it: "Just leave these matters to Chief Lan. I'm recovering from my injuries."
Cao Min smiled and said, "But I think you're very energetic, Chief Meng. I think it's okay to read one or two copies now and then, right?"
"Don't look at it! Cao leads the way, I am recuperating from my injury. The doctor said that the patient should concentrate on recuperating and should not be distracted."
Meng Ju squinted his eyes and looked at the setting sun that was setting in the west. The blue sky was as beautiful as a gem, and the wind and clouds were moving, gathering and dispersing. The golden sunset fell on his pale face, and his dark eyes revealed loneliness and helplessness.
Cao Min left, and Liu Zhen came again. He greeted Meng Ju carelessly: "Brother Meng, I'm here again! I brought delicious sesame cakes for you to eat! You can try some, the ancestral craftsmanship of Zhao Dabeard at the front door is very good!"
Meng Ju turned to glance at Liu Zhen, then looked back at the sunset, lost in thought.
After returning from Mr. Yi, Meng Ju was deeply hurt by the feeling of betrayal. Mr. Yi actually sold his first love for 10,000 taels of silver - and also went to Tianxiang Tower to drink flower wine - which made Meng Ju furious.
He smashed the bank note on Yi Laogui's face and proudly told him: "Yi Laogui, I don't care about your stinky silver!" Then - he picked up the envelope from the ground and took the money away. .
Thinking of that moment, Meng Ju¡¯s anger was mixed with a hint of shame. He comforted himself by saying that this was the money Yi Laogui owed him, the money he paid for selling the two battle armors, and he felt at ease. If he didn't take it, that shameless guy Yi Laogui would just take it to Tianxiang Tower to squander it, which would be an even greater blasphemy to Ye Canaan and his own feelings.
I am still me, but you are no longer you!
Thinking that the beautiful woman is still there, but they have not met each other, Meng Ju feels sad and angry in his heart: God, this thief, knows how to play tricks on people! He was disheartened. He didn't want to deal with anything or see anyone, whether it was the Northern Expedition of the Southern Tang Dynasty to restore the country, or the overt and covert fight between the Dongling Guards and the Six-Town General Tuoba Xiong.
Meng Ju ignored it, but Liu Zhen was not embarrassed - Meng Ju suspected that the fat man had forgotten the word "embarrassment" in his mother's belly when he was born.
He shouted carelessly into the room: "Sister Leilei, sister Leilei! Your godbrother Liu Ge is here to visit you! Get me a chair quickly!"
Jiang Leilei poked her head out of the room and gave Liu Zhen a roll of her eyes, but still helped him get a chair out.
"Hey, thank you sister, I knew she was a good person!"
Liu Zhen sat down next to Meng Ju and watched the clouds in the sky with him. He picked up the sesame biscuits he had brought and started to eat them. He said vaguely: "Boss Meng, do you want sesame biscuits? They are very fragrant. How about one? What are you looking at? Oh, the blue sky and white clouds." , the sun is shining brightly in the west, what¡¯s so interesting about this? Where can I watch the singing and dancing in Tianxiang Tower? Boss Meng, I¡¯ll invite you to Tianxiang Tower tonight. There are many beauties there, with white and tender thighs. , it feels so good to touch it"
Meng Ju didn¡¯t want to pay attention to Liu Zhen at first, but this guy was spitting feces next to him, which shattered his loneliness and grief. He had no choice but to shout angrily: "Shut your mouth, Liu Zhen!"
"Oh." Liu Zhen shut up obediently, and then he continued to eat sesame seed cakes, blinking innocently.
Meng Ju continued to look at the sky and meditate, but helplessly, he could no longer enter the ethereal and melancholy state just now - there was a man next to him eating sesame seed cakes loudly, making a squeaking sound like a pig eating water. The smell of chopped green onion comes to my nose. If someone can still meditate, then he is really a god.
Meng Ju couldn't bear it anymore and sat up angrily: "Brother Liu, what's the matter with you? Please spare me, tell me quickly!"
Liu Zhen swallowed the last bite of sesame seed cake with difficulty, and blinked: "Boss Meng, Zhu Gong wants to invite you to Tianxiang Tower for dinner tonight, and he asked me to help you. Come on, let's go together, I have a long time too I didn¡¯t go to Tianxiang Tower anymore!¡±
"Zhu Gong? What is he looking for me for?"
"Uh, I don't know about that, but something is wrong, right? Boss, go ahead! I'm so bored. I've been protecting you in secret for many days, so you should comfort me!"
Meng Ju looked at Liu Zhen sideways: "Are you protecting me secretly?"
"Isn't it?" Liu Zhen's fleshy face was filled with grief and indignation after receiving unreasonable suspicion: "Wang San told me that someone in the Jingan Jianghu recently wanted to do harm to you, Boss Meng. I was really worried when I heard that. From then on, I went to Zhao Mazi's shop at the front door every day to eat sesame seed cakes, and while I was eating, I monitored the people entering and leaving the mausoleum. Well, I ate five sesame seed cakes every day, but it stretched me to pieces;
Also, I'm worried that the ginseng, deer antler and other expensive supplements they sent are poisonous, and the nourishing stews are also dangerous. I risked my life to help you taste it first - if you don't believe me, ask sister Leilei , uh, it made me bleed from the nose. Afraid of not being able to taste it for a while, I took some home and tried it slowly, but finally there was no problem;
In order to find out who wanted to harm you, I went to Tianxiang Tower to find out more information. I specifically asked Ouyang Qingqing, Ning Chungui from Yanhui Tower, Yan Zixiang and Wan Cui from Yinggefang. Liu Junning from the Pavilion - Anyway, I have visited all the famous brothels in Jing'an City, and I have inquired about the top ladies in each brothel, but they all said they didn't know. "
Meng Ju sneered: "Thank you for taking the trouble. I really have to thank you, Brother Liu."
"Alas, we are all brothers, so polite to say so, but it turns out that brothers are loyal and do not hesitate to go to any lengths!
There is a small matter. Recently, I spent a lot of money asking the top ladies for information, but Boss Lan is really heartless. He actually refused to let me reimburse the informant fee! Boss Meng, do you think you can apply for me? It¡¯s not much, just over three thousand taels of silver in total.¡±
Seeing the sneer on Meng Ju's face, Liu Zhen hurriedly changed his words: "Well, it really can't be two thousand eh, or a thousand eh, five hundred taels? - Boss Meng, fifty taels is enough, right? That's just fifty taels." Otherwise, twenty-two lines, right? I really went to Tianxiang Tower twice!"
Liu Zhen was chattering beside him. Meng Ju ignored him and turned his head away, pretending to sleep.
Liu Zhen kept nagging for a while, but seeing that Meng Ju seemed really determined not to pull out anything, he had no choice but to shut up. The two of them stared innocently at the setting sun. The bright red sunset shone on them, making them warm and comfortable.
"Excuse me, does Inspector Meng Ju Meng live here?" He heard a knock on the door and a man's clear voice behind him. Meng Ju turned his head and looked over, only to see a young Lingwei officer in front of his door.
Seeing the person coming, Meng Ju called out: "Brother Murong, I'm over here!"
Murong Yi heard the news and came over. When he saw Meng Ju, he smiled happily and strode over.
Meng Ju got up to greet him. Under the setting sun, the two stood facing each other and looked at each other. They were speechless for a long time, filled with emotions in their hearts.
Since waking up, Meng Ju saw Murong Yi for the first time.
Compared with the last time we met, the person in front of me was obviously haggard. Murong Yi's appearance was still handsome, but his eyes were sunken, light wrinkles appeared on his forehead, and light white hair appeared on his temples.
"Compared with his high-spirited appearance back then, Murong Yi now looks restrained and calm, with a faint aura of sadness exuding from his tall and straight body. His eyes were still sharp, but there was a bit more sadness in the world. Unknowingly, something called vicissitudes of life has been quietly engraved on the handsome young man's brows, making him mature and depressed. When he turns his eyes, a hint of despair and sadness that goes deep into his bones will occasionally appear.
Murong Yi and Ye Canan were both childhood sweethearts and had a matching marriage contract. He came from behind and secretly stole Ye Canan's heart. In the past, Meng Ju had always felt a little guilty towards Murong Yi. But now, Ye Canan has been resurrected but has forgotten himself, and will still marry into Murong's family in the future - Meng Ju no longer knows how to feel about Murong Yi.
Murong Yi was also looking at Meng Ju. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Brother Meng, how are you? I have been busy with trivial matters recently and haven't come to visit. I feel very guilty. But I heard that Brother Meng has regained consciousness and can walk. I Very gratified.¡±
"Well, it's okay. I'm almost in good health. I heard from my family that Brother Murong has come to visit me many times. Thank you for your concern. You don't look very good, but you should pay attention to rest."
Murong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Meng, do you have time to accompany me for a walk? I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Brother Murong invites you, of course it's no problem. Please do it."
The two of them walked along the boulevard of the Jing'an Department. Murong Yi was silent all the way, frowning and saying nothing.
Looking at his face sinking, Meng Ju felt guilty: "Did he find out about his relationship with Ye Canaan and plan to come to accuse him? But there is no reason, no one knows about this at all."
In an uninhabited open space in the forest, you can just look at the red sunset and the gorgeous sunset beside the forest. Two young officers were illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun.
Murong Yi stopped and looked towards her with piercing eyes.Ju: "Brother Meng, I owe you a life, please accept my respect!" As he said that, Murong Yi knelt down on his knees and knelt down in front of Meng Ju.
"Ah!" He didn't expect the other party to speak in such a way. Meng Ju was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to help Murong Yi: "Brother Murong, why do you say this? Get up, please get up!"
But Murong Yi knelt down resolutely and saluted Meng Ju, and then slowly stood up with Meng Ju's strong support.
"Brother Murong, you are from the royal family and I am from the Chinese family. Such heavy courtesy is a shame! If anyone sees it, you are just acting shamelessly. I will lose my head if I accept such heavy courtesy from the royal family. !Brother Murong, you didn¡¯t mean to harm me, did you?¡±
"Brother Meng has been so kind to me. How could I harm you? - Well, Brother Meng, you may not even know how much kindness you have to me. Let me explain it to you."
"How come I don't know! It's just that I rescued him from the army last time¡ª¡ª" Meng Ju wanted to say Ye Jianan, but he suddenly remembered that the engagement between Ye Jianan and Murong Yi was secret, and he hurriedly changed his words: "¡ª¡ª Brother Murong, please do it once!"
Murong Yi shook his head, and determination appeared on his pale face: "A man has gold under his knees, and matters of life and death are not worthy of me, Murong Yi, bending my knees - I want to thank Brother Meng. It was you who took the huge risk and fought in the rebellion." She protected the body of the mayor and broke out of the encirclement, preventing the rebels and barbarians from desecrating her. Such a great kindness, I, Murong Yi, will never forget it!"
Meng Ju understood in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be confused: "I don't understand what Brother Murong said. The governor is kind to me, and I protected her to break out. That is what should be done. Why did it change again?" Brother Murong, are you kind to me?"
Murong Yi sighed sadly: "Outsiders still don't know about this matter, but she has gone, and Brother Meng, you are not an outsider either, so it doesn't matter now. When we were in Luojing, Canaan and I were already engaged. .I came to Dongping to take up a post this time, specifically for her, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be Oh! I didn¡¯t expect that on that day, heaven and man would say goodbye forever!
I was dispersed by the rebels, and I didn¡¯t hear the news of her death until I returned to the city later. At that time, I felt like I was struck by five thunders, I fainted on the spot, and I was almost in pain! Fortunately, later I heard that Brother Meng, you protected her body and fought your way out of the siege, which gave me some comfort.
I can¡¯t imagine, if Brother Meng hadn¡¯t taken action and left Canaan alone on the battlefield, what would have happened later? The demon soldiers are ferocious and are accustomed to beheadings to count their achievements. In particular, Canaan is obviously a general, and her head is even more precious. The demon beasts will not let it go, and will cut it off to show off, and maybe even more. . . well!
Murong Yi is incompetent and cannot protect his fianc¨¦e! But if I can't even protect her body, and if those barbarians humiliate her, then what dignity do I have in this world? Brother Meng, you guarding the remains of Canaan is nothing less than a life-saving favor to me! "
The person in front of him loves Ye Canaan as deeply as he does.
Meng Ju¡¯s feelings towards Murong Yi are very complicated. There is sympathy between heroes and a bit of hostility as a love rival.
Meng Ju could feel that the sadness of the other party was sincere. He was very surprised: Ye Canaan had obviously been resurrected, but looking at Murong Yi's sad expression, he didn't seem to know it?
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Murong and the town governor are actually engaged, but I never knew about it before."
Murong Yi was a little embarrassed: "It's not that I had the intention to deceive Brother Meng, it's just that this matter involves a lot, and neither family wants outsiders to know - even now, I have to ask Brother Meng to help me keep it a secret and not to spread it outside."
"Brother Murong, don't worry. I'm not a talkative woman. I will talk about these things everywhere - but since Brother Murong has a marriage contract with the town governor, naturally Brother Murong also recognizes Duke Ye? I heard that the Duke has been in Jing'an City recently. , has Brother Murong seen him?"
"When the father-in-law comes to Jing'an, I will naturally go to see him. I have met him several times - just today, I met him once."
"Then, what didn't Mr. Ye say to Brother Murong? For example, something about the governor?"
As he spoke, Meng Ju stared at Murong Yi nervously, paying close attention to every subtle expression on his face.
But Murong Yi laughed miserably: "Death is like a lamp going out, Canaan has gone, what else can you say to me? I failed to take good care of Canaan, I really feel ashamed of the Ye family!" - Didn't finish reading?
