General Meng should have seen it, after all, they specially forged the tokens of Shen Zhongbai's guards.
"You go down first."
"yes."
After the shadow guard left, Shen Qianshan thought that she had not seen Gu Qiang for a day. For the past two days, she had been locked in her room to help Shen Qiangwei develop the antidote, and she had less time to see him.
When he came to the pharmacy, Shen Qianshan found a place and sat down. He looked at Gu Qiang who was busy quietly. Although he wanted to ask her to stop and take a rest, he still did not say anything.
Gu Qiang finally found something to do. If he stopped him, Gu Qiang would be angry with him.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qiang felt a little hungry. When she turned around, she saw Shen Qianshan sitting next to a chair not far away, flipping through the medical books she had placed there.
"when did you come?"
Gu Qiang saw that the book had been read a lot, so he must have been waiting for a long time.
"It won't take long. Are you finished?"
Shen Qianshan looked at Gu Qiang's face with tenderness.
Thinking of Shen Qiangwei's antidote, Gu Qiang shook her head. She now added the herbs she used to develop the ointment. Even the best herbs would turn into poison, so she did not dwell on the herbs for the poison, but instead All the medicinal materials have been tried, and half of the medicinal materials have not been tested yet. It will take some time.
If this doesn't work, then Shen Zhongbai will add another kind of poison instead of Wu Du Powder.
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat first."
Shen Qianshan knew that Gu Qiang must be hungry. Ever since he came back, he had heard from his servants that Gu Qiang had been shutting herself in the medicine after lunch. It was already dark now, so she must be hungry. stand up.
And he had been waiting for her without eating.
"Have you eaten?" Gu Qiang suddenly realized this problem.
"I can dine with you." Shen Qianshan did not answer her question directly, and Gu Qiang was not in the mood to guess. Since he could still dine with her, let's eat together.
"How are you doing over there? When will Yin Xinlei be able to come out?" Gu Qiang asked as he walked.
"Soon."
It was obvious that Shen Qianshan didn't want to talk to her that much, so Gu Qiang stopped asking.
Shen Qianshan had dinner with Gu Qiang and then took her to bed. Because she was too tired for the past two days, Gu Qiang fell asleep on the bed.
Shen Qianshan looked at her sleeping face and felt very distressed, but he was helpless.
After General Meng brought the Tianshan Snow Lotus back, he opened the box and found that it was just an ordinary lotus. His expression suddenly turned bad. Thinking of the token he saw today, a thought arose in his heart.
He rushed to the palace overnight to see Shen Zhongbai. Shen Zhongbai looked at General Meng rushing towards him and wondered, didn't he get the things
"See your Majesty, has your Majesty sent anyone to the suburbs today?" General Meng went straight to the point and did not give Shen Zhongbai the slightest time to think.
"Not at all." Shen Zhongbai wondered, why did he ask him this question
"Did General Meng meet someone?"
His words immediately made General Meng suspicious. If Shen Zhongbai hadn't sent anyone, how did he know who he met in the suburbs? Is it a guess? Or was this originally a trap for him
General Meng then thought about it, if the person coming behind was Shen Zhongbai, then why did he do this? It was obviously a fake Tianshan Snow Lotus. If it was to provoke a war between him and Shen Qianshan, then why let his people carry his token.
Is this a frame-up or someone else's intention? General Meng didn't understand.
"No." General Meng did not tell Shen Zhongbai about the person who met him today.
"However, Your Majesty, you have been deceived. Shen Qianshan does not have Tianshan Snow Lotus, it is just an ordinary lotus."
General Meng looked at Shen Zhongbai, with a look in his eyes that meant you should explain to me.
Shen Zhongbai was stunned. It was obviously his informant who came back from the investigation. Could it be that his informant was bribed? It was impossible that he had trained all those people personally, so there was only one possibility that they had been deceived by Shen Qianshan.
What on earth is this Shen Qianshan up to? Shen Zhongbai was extremely disgusted with Shen Qianshan.
"It's just an ordinary lotus flower, so why do you need someone to send it all the way?"
Shen Zhongbai guessed that it was Shen Qianshan's fault, but he couldn't say it clearly. After all, he had fallen into Shen Qianshan's trap. If he admitted it himself, how could he use his face to show off
"This is also a question that I am confused about." General Meng guessed that Shen Zhongbai would not tell him the truth. I am afraid that Shen Zhongbai asked him to grab the Tianshan Snow Lotus in order to let him and Shen Qianshan fight each other so that he could take advantage of the fisherman's profit.
"Perhaps only Shen Qianshan will know."
Shen Zhongbai did not hesitate to blame all the struggles on Shen Qianshan.
"Since the emperor doesn't know, I will resign." After speaking, General Meng left.
Shen Zhongbai's choice not to confess to him was a sign of distrust in him. Since she didn't trust her, she didn't need to say anything more. Everyone would have their own purposes at that time.
What Shen Zhongbai didn't expect was that General Meng's arrival was to give him a chance and a test to test whether Shen Zhongbai trusted General Meng, but he didn't want Shen Zhongbai to think that he had captured General Meng's weakness by capturing Concubine Meng.
After learning about General Meng's methods today, Shen Qianshan felt that he should rescue Yin Xinlei before Shen Zhongbai was interrogated.
"General Meng looked very unhappy after he came out of the palace. It seems that he and Shen Zhongbai have not reached an agreement."
Chu Tiankuo talked about the situation brought by the informant.
"Let General Meng take Yin Xinlei to his house at night to investigate. On the way to transportation, we turned him around and rescued him."
Although Yin Xinlei's crime was confirmed and could not be washed away, it could save his life. Who knew when General Meng would suddenly think of him.
"What about his family?"
If he is rescued, even if he is a fugitive, he will definitely be wanted and his family will be harmed. Even if the court does not arrest his family, General Meng will take action on his family.
"Inform Gu Huaian and ask him to arrange for Yin Xinlei's family to leave. After we rescue the people, we will let them hide and let them out when the city gate is opened tomorrow morning."
Chu Tiankuo felt that this method was very appropriate. As long as he escaped from Kyoto, it would be good to find a place where no one was around to live in seclusion.
but…
"If we can't leave the city tomorrow, what will happen to General Meng's entire search?"
Chu Tiankuo asked worriedly. He was not afraid of searches, but he was afraid that if he strictly guarded and searched every day, he would be discovered one day.
"Gu Huaian's restaurant has a cellar. Let them hide in it when the time comes. As long as the people who go to the cellar give them something every day, they will be able to survive. There are often people taking things in the cellar, so it is not easy to be discovered."
Shen Qianshan seemed to have thought about this problem before, thinking everything clearly.
"I'll go and inform Mr. Gu right away."
Shen Qianshan called the shadow guard to send people to Meng Mansion.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door of Meng's Mansion, and General Meng, who had just entered, looked at the door in confusion.
The boy guarding the door quickly opened the door, poked his head out, and saw a man wearing prison clothes standing in front of him.
"Who are you? Are you knocking on the door of our Meng Mansion so late to do something?"
The cell leader quickly replied: "This little brother, I am the cell leader of Dali Temple. Today, General Meng asked me to deal with the criminal Yin Xinlei. He left before he was executed. I heard that the general was back and wanted to ask him if he wanted to Execution.”
General Meng was a little confused as to why the cell leader of Dali Temple waited so long for him to deal with a prisoner. However, the prisoner really needed to be dealt with properly, which could relieve his anger.
"Bring people to my general's house."
General Meng's voice suddenly came from behind the door, and the cell leader was startled.
But this was the first time I heard about bringing prisoners to the house, and there was no such rule in Dali Temple.
"General, Dali Temple has no regulations on bringing prisoners out. General, please don't embarrass me."
Because the cell leader was afraid of General Meng, there was fear and embarrassment in his voice.
General Meng looked at the sky and had no intention of going out.
"Just bring it if I ask you to. If anything happens, the general will take care of it."
After saying that, he left without waiting for the prison boss to say anything more.
"General, if you want to bring it out, you need the permission of the Minister of Dali Temple, General."
Because there was a door across the cell, the cell leader did not know that General Meng had left.
The servant guarding the gate couldn't see it and said: "The general has left. Just do as the general said."
After saying that, he closed the door.
The prison head left the Meng Mansion and came to a corner.
"Master, it's done. General Meng was indeed fooled."
"Go to Dali Temple and bring the person out." Shen Qianshan's voice sounded, and the person left quickly after saying this.
The cell leader returned to Dali Temple and took General Meng's token to say that he was taking someone away. The cell leader who was watching at night had to accept the token when he saw it, so he could only load Yin Xinlei into the prison car and transport him out overnight.
Walked all the way down a dark street.
"Ouch, ouch."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The cell leader's voice attracted the concern of other accomplices.
"My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts, brothers, can you wait for me?"
The other cell leaders listened to what he said and vaguely saw him covering his stomach with his hands, so they agreed. It was night anyway, so it didn't matter if he arrived later.
"Go, go, remember to hurry up."
"Okay, okay."
After he came back, everyone continued to pull the prison cart forward.
But no one noticed that there was no one missing.
The prison car arrived at the door of Meng's Mansion, and the people from Meng's Mansion quickly picked him up.
The people in the Meng Mansion had never seen Yin Xinlei's appearance, so they didn't notice that the people in the prison car had been changed.
General Meng, who was having a meal, heard that the prison car had arrived, so he ate a few bites in a hurry and passed.
He walked to the prison car and was furious when he saw the people inside.
"Where are the people?"
The servants in the mansion were very confused, but they didn't dare to say anything. Why would the general ask them where the person was when he was right in front of them
