Chapter 69: Trust

According to Mei Changsu's original plan, he first persuaded Yu Wang not to intervene to show his sincerity, and then went to the Suspended Mirror Department to ask whether Emperor Xia Dong had the intention to let Suspension Mirror investigate the case.
But now one step later, most of Yu Wang has already been fooled, and poured oil on the fire in the palace.
At this time, if there are any other actions, I am afraid that they will be regarded as acting in the name of Yu Wang as a substitute for Mongolia. Therefore, I can only follow the soldiers first and wait for the situation to develop.
On the way back to Su Zhai, Mei Changsu sat in a sedan and closed his eyes to rethink the current situation of the whole incident.
The emperor Wang ’s maintenance of the palace is bound to arouse Liang ’s suspicion of the forbidden army commander. Although this suspicion will not be revealed in action at this stage, at the very least, Emperor Liang will not rest assured that he will be alone Investigating the murder of the internal supervisor, and will certainly send a hanging mirror to investigate at the same time.
Xie Yu still walked out of this move even though he knew that the suspension of the mirror would intervene sooner or later, thinking of it confidently without leaving any evidence on the spot.
As a military prince and emperor's favorite, Xia Dong can't report to the emperor without reason and without any doubt.
What's more, in the current delicate situation of robbing a prostitute, any accusation that is not supported by evidence will be argued as "intentionally framed" by the other party. Not only does it fail to achieve its purpose, but it will be counterproductive.
So the most critical step now is to find evidence, but it is too difficult to do this.
The killing technique was clean, without any directional clues, and no physical evidence could be obtained; the incident occurred on New Year's Eve, and there were no pedestrians on the avenue beside the palace wall, so no witnesses could be found.
Except for assuming that Xie Yu was the real murderer behind the scenes, he could investigate and investigate Zhuo Dingfeng in depth.
Mei Changsu took a deep breath and felt that his chest was a little stuffy. He reached out and lifted the side curtain, trying to breathe.
It's almost noon, there are more pedestrians on the street, most of them are wearing new clothes, walking hurriedly, holding gifts in their hands, with joy on their faces, as if it is the New Year's Day, all troubles can be ignored General.
Mei Changsu smiled with emotion, when he was about to put down the car curtain, his eyes suddenly swept inadvertently to a teenager dressed in gray robe.
It was a teenager about twelve or three years old, with a medium build and ordinary clothes, which could not attract the special attention of Mei Changsu.
But what makes him different from the pedestrians around is that as soon as he saw the oncoming blue cloth sedan, he immediately fled to the roadside, bowed his hands, and saluted the sedan respectfully.
"Stop." Mei Changsu ordered the two guards who acted as his bearers and ordered them to park the sedan on the side of the road. They lifted the front curtain of their own, pulled out half of the body, and waved to the teenager.
The teenager was only startled, and immediately came halfway and halfway, and knocked his head at Mei Chang Su, whispering, "Mr. Happy New Year to Mr. Su, I wish you good luck and good health in the coming year."
"It's Shu Hong, are you coming out alone?"
"Yes."
Shu Hong was one of the two minor criminal slaves who was rescued from the courthouse together with Ting Sheng.
When teaching the footwork of the three men to fight with Bai Liqi, most of them were flying with sparring. Mei Changsu's energy was mostly on the body of the court, and he didn't notice the other two children.
Coupled with Shu Hong's quiet personality, he didn't like to talk. After entering the Jing Wang Mansion, he lived regularly. His clothing and food were full and warm, and he grew taller and better. Therefore, Mei Changsu didn't recognize him immediately when he looked at the first few times.
"I heard that the court is sick, is it better?"
"The doctor said that the wind and cold have gone, and I can get out of bed after taking another two doses of medicine."
Mei Changsu nodded.
He had planned to take these three children to Su Zhai together on New Year's Eve, because the court students could not get up when he was infected, so he gave up.
However, he knew that Jing Jing would take care of the court students carefully, so he didn't worry too much. At this time, listening to Shu Hong's statement, it should be just an ordinary illness.
"Are you out to buy medicine for Tingsheng?" Mei Changsu looked at the medicine bag in Shu Hong's hand and asked again.
"Yes."
"The three of you have suffered together in the palace. You must take care of each other and support each other," Mei Changsu reached out to touch Shu Hong's head and said softly, "You are one or two years older than them. Big brother's responsibility.
"Huh!" Shu Hong nodded heavily, looking at Mei Changsu's eyes full of admiration. "Mr. Su, I have studied hard and practiced martial arts. I will make a name for myself on the battlefield in the future, and I will not disappoint Mr. Su."
"Okay, the boy should have the courage and ambition. In the future, Kuangfu Sheji and serving the country will depend on you." Mei Changsu encouraged, and said, "It's cold, please go back soon.
Remember to take good care of the court students. "
"Yes!" Shu Hong responded as he retreated to the side, still standing still.
Seeing that the child knew the manners so well, Mei Changsu knew that he would not walk without him, so he smiled at him and ordered someone to get on the sedan and move on.
When he arrived at the inner courtyard of the Su Zhai, Li Gang greeted him and asked, "How did the Sect Master come back so early? The King Yu hasn't been here yet ..."
"I know, he won't be here today." Mei Changsu hurried into the room, taking off his cloak as he walked.
Although there was no one in the house just now, the fire had been burning very vigorously and warmly, so that the owner could come back at any time.
Mei Chang Su Gang sat down on the soft chair, Li Gang ordered someone to screw up the hot towel and brought the boiled ginseng soup.
"Is Tong Lu passing by today?"
"Come here.
Originally he wanted to wait for the suzerain, but I didn't know that you would come back so early, let him go ... Does the patriarch see him? "
"It's ok.
You inform Tianjitang of Mengnei, as soon as possible to find out which masters Zhuo Dingfeng has been with recently, and who of these masters has already arrived in Beijing, and then inform Mr. Thirteen, the swordsman who is currently in Beijing, no matter what school Their whereabouts must be closely monitored.
It is necessary to focus on the control around Xiefu. All actions of Zhuo Dingfeng and his eldest son Zhuo Qingyao must be reported to me immediately.
Understand? "
"The subordinates understand." Li Gang has a good memory. After repeating it smoothly, he immediately got up and went out to order.
Mei Changsu leaned back on the chair and took a few placards on the small coffee table at hand, and turned them over. They were all some nobles or officials in the Yuwang faction who did not have close contacts. Adaptable.
About Li Gang also felt that there was no need to report, so it was just pressed to the side and watched whenever Mei Changsu loved to watch it.
Fei Liu entered the room silently, with a snow-white homing pigeon on his arm, Junxiu's small face was tight, came to Mei Changsu and handed him the white pigeon, and then he faced the carpet Once sitting, he buried his entire face on Brother Su's lap.
Mei Changsu smiled and rubbed his back neck, pulled out a paper roll from the letterbox on the legs of the white pigeon and unfolded it. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, but only a moment later, the depth and tranquility were restored. Throw the paper roll into the brazier and burn it.
The little white pigeon was startled by the flare of flames and yelled twice towards his head.
Mei Changsu patted its small head with his fingertips and whispered: "Don't call it, Fei Liu is upset when he sees you, and tells him to pluck your hair."
"No!" Feiliu raised his head suddenly, protesting.
"But we Fei Liu really want to pull it, but we dare not," Mei Changsu twisted his cheek. "Last time you were closed in the black room, wasn't it because Brother Hi Chen had hidden a pigeon?"
"No!" Feiqi swelled his cheeks.
"I know you won't be in the future," Mei Changsu praised him with a smile. "You are very good today. Although you are very upset, you still brought it to see me. You didn't hide it like last time ..."
"Very good!"
"Yes, very good.
Go get a piece of paper for Brother Su, and then ink the smallest pen, OK? "
"it is good!"
Fei Liu jumped up and quickly took the pen and paper.
Mei Changsu hung his wrists to write a few small prints on the corner of the paper, cut them into small strips, rolled the rolls into the letter box, and returned the white pigeon to Fei Liu again.
"Feiliu, let it go, okay?"
Feiliu slowly moved his body unwillingly, but after looking at Mei Changsu's slightly smiled face, he still obediently supported the white dove into the yard and flicked it into the air, watching it flap its wings a few times. Fly away.
When the white pigeon shadow flew farther and farther, and gradually became a black spot, Fei Liu still looked up with his head raised.
Li Gang walked in from the outside with Zhang Bronze Baitie in his hand, and couldn't help smiling when he saw his posture: "Fei Liu, are you waiting for the fairy to fall down in the sky?"
"No!" Fei Liu heard a little annoyed.
"Good, you wait slowly."
"No!" Angrily.
Li Gang smiled and flicked the palm of Fei Liu's hand, but as soon as he entered the door, his expression immediately adjusted.
"Sovereign, the son of the word comes to worship."
Mei Changsu Ning glanced at the worship post and couldn't help but laugh: "Which time he came in without hesitation, when did he pay attention to etiquette?
I'm afraid there is something to tell me, please come in. "
"Yes." Not long after Li Gang withdrew, Yujin walked in quickly, wearing a brand-new sauce red leather robe. The whole person is still handsome and energetic. If you don't look closely, you can't see him. What a strange look.
"Yujin is here, please sit down." Mei Changsu's eyes ran casually on the uncle's pale pink eyelid, and ordered Li Gang to serve refreshments.
"Brother Su doesn't have to be polite anymore." Yan Yujin leaned down to take the tea. After Li Gang and his servants had retreated, they put the tea cup aside, stood up, and gave a deep blow to Mei Changsu.
"Don't dare to be dare not," Mei Changsu smiled and supported him. "You and my peers are commensurate, it's not this way of worship."
"Brother Su knew that this gift was not for New Year's greetings," Yan Yujin said, "It is thanks to Brother Su that he saved Yan's life."
Mei Changsu patted his arm, motioned him to sit down, and slowly asked, "Yehhou has ..."
"Father told me everything last night," Yan Yujin lowered his head, his face pale. "If my father has always ignored me, then as a Son of Man, I never thought that he had so much in my heart. It ’s bitter, I ’m afraid it ’s not a word of filial piety ... "
"It's really gratifying for your father and son to be honest with each other," Mei Changsu smiled gently. "As for me letting go of the reverence, you don't have to bear it in mind.
Recently, the situation is changing and the turmoil is too much. I just do n’t want to add more variables to Ling Zun ’s behavior, triggering an uncontrollable situation. "
Yan Yujin looked at him deeply and his eyes were full of openness. "Why did Brother Su make this decision? I don't want to delve deeper, but I believe there is still a sense of love in it.
To be honest, my father has not regretted the action he planned until now, but he still appreciates you for stopping him.
This may sound contradictory, but people's feelings are so complicated, they are not simple black and white, they can be cut in half.
But in any case, the peace of Yanfu is preserved. I just need to remember Brother Su ’s intentions. As for other deeper reasons, what should I do? "
Mei Changsu looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled, "You are smarter than I thought.
Although people seem a little frivolous, for your family and friends, it is a support you can rely on. "
"Brother Su has won the prize." Yan Yujin smiled, "What is the fate of all of us in the future, what will we encounter, now no one can predict, and only what we can grasp is this."
"Well said, it's worth a drink." Mei Changsu nodded and smiled slightly in his eyes, "Unfortunately I am still taking medicine and can't accompany you."
"I drank it on behalf of Brother Su." Yan Yujin said happily, got up and went outside the hospital to find Li Ganghuan, a bottle of wine, two glasses, a glass in his left hand, and a glass in his right hand. .
"You have such a good relationship with Jing Rui, but your temperament is different." Mei Changsu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "But he is also hard. Now he's just afraid to stay with his four parents at home."
"He didn't get out the door on the first day of the year, so he wanted to be happy under his knees." Yan Yujin smiled, "Even if I want to find him a pastime, I have to wait for the second grade."
Mei Changsu glanced at him, seemingly casually said: "Then you will take him to sit with me tomorrow.
Look, this courtyard is deserted, and I don't have many other friends. "
"This is natural, Xie Bi is only afraid to follow.
By the way, Xie Xu came back from the academy for the Chinese New Year, haven't you seen him yet? "
"Xie family three sons?"
"Yeah, he is young, but he reads the best historical essays. Uncle Xie is counting on him to take the first prize, so he sent to Songshan Academy to study. his."
"I heard the legend in Beijing. After Zhuo Qingyao married Miss Xie Da, Xie Bi was going to marry Zhuo's daughter?"
"Well, it seems that Jing Rui said that there is such an agreement."
"Xie Zhuo and his family are relatives of each other, and they have Jing Rui. They are really like a family."
"It is.
Although Jing Rui had fought back in that year, but now he is close to a family, and the typical bad things become good things. "
Mei Changsu said lightly, did not continue this topic, casually talked to other trivia.
It didn't take long for Dr. Yan to come in, holding a bowl full of medicine, and said that Yujin was worried about hindering his rest, and after he had finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.
After drinking the medicine, Mei Changsu leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep for two hours. After waking up, he received a few irrelevant guests and has been reading.
Palm lights at night, Fei Liu set off fireworks in the yard again, Mei Changsu sat under the gallery with a smile to see him finish, gently waved him to call him over.
"Want to put it?"
"No, Brother Su doesn't want to let go," Mei Changsu smiled and leaned in his ear. "Fei Liu, let's go to see Uncle Meng quietly?"
