The man staggered off the horse, and his footing was unstable, and he almost stumbled on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
He stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip to ease the stinging pain of the chapped lips. His bloodshot eyes widened, and he knelt on the ground. rhetoric.
After a long time, a sound of footsteps came from far and near. The man quickly pinched his thighs secretly, dispelling his drowsy consciousness with pain, his chest bulging like thunder, and the strong and powerful heartbeat sounded. The ears are very clear.
He lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a bluish-brown color passing beside him, and went straight to the upper seat to sit down, leaving a mellow fragrance in the air.
Even if there are frequent chaos in Meng County, Meng Zhan, the patriarch of the Meng clan and the county governor of Meng County, still lives a delicate and exquisite life.
After a while, the man above asked him, "Erlang-kun has arrived in Shangjing?"
The voice had the calmness unique to this age, the tone was elegant and tactful, and there were several different kinds of elegance, as if it was chanting poetry.
This tone of speech has been fashionable in the past two years. It is a popular fashion among the nobles. Many people deliberately pursue it and are arty.
Some people have learned it, and they look pretentious, like a drake with a hoarse voice. People who don't know it think that the person has a problem with his voice.
Some people have unique voices, so the tone of speech seems to be tailor-made for them, and there is a bit of elegance when they speak.
Meng Zhan belongs to the latter group, and many Cangzhou noble ladies secretly praised him for his elegance, and he was able to suck away three souls and seven souls from others as soon as he opened his mouth.
The face of the squire who was kneeling below darkened, he slammed his head on the ground, the sound of the impact was dull and powerful, and even the ground trembled.
When Hu Cong heard the words, the blood faded, and his face was as pale as paper. He kowtowed to the ground with his forehead, his fingers still trembling secretly.
His palms quickly sweated and soon became wet, showing his inner unease.
"Little incompetent, unable to complete what the master entrusted... Erlang-Jun, Erlang-Jun, he was, was... caught by the traitor Meng Hun."
Meng Zhan's eyes widened, and he threw the tea bowl he was holding in his hand, and the hot tea splashed on the other's face in the middle of the servant's forehead.
"Erlang-Jun was taken away by Meng Hun?" He opened his slender peach-blossom eyes slightly, and his slightly upturned eyes were dyed with a fierce color, and asked in a sullen tone, "Send a group of you over, even with Erlang-Jun's eyes. Safety can’t be protected, what is the use of Mengfu asking you to use these wastes!”
In front of ordinary people and even the Hejian county governor, he could still be arrogant and domineering, but he didn't dare to say a word of defense at this time.
As Meng Zhan's squire, he knew too well what was right, and arguing would only make the other party more angry and even kill him.
The forehead was cut, blood was flowing, and the tea stains were mixed with blood and dripped all over the face, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
After waiting for a while, Meng Zhan's anger had cooled down a little, and then the squire said with trembling, "Sir, please calm down, this matter is not a small failure to protect Erlang Jun, but there is a reason for it, Meng Hun's gang of thieves are again. So cunning and insidious..."
Meng Zhan was too lazy to listen to the other party's evasion, and said directly, "What do you want that white-eyed wolf grabbing Ye'er?"
After all, he is also the patriarch of the Meng clan, and the person who sits firmly in the commandery of Mengjun County. This simple thing can still be seen.
If Meng Ye was already dead, this lowly servant who was greedy for life and fear of death would not dare to return to Meng County, and would have fled long ago.
"Master is wise, that scoundrel and thief really wanted to take Erlang-Jun as a hostage to extort money and rice. The young man was afraid that the thief would not treat Erlang-Jun wholeheartedly, so he rushed his horse and whipped more than ten fast horses to death, so he hurried back and rushed back. The lord reports the news."
As he said that, he took out an object wrapped in silk cloth from his arms, and raised his head respectfully with both hands, "Master, please look into it."
Meng Zhan winked at the maid next to him, and the silk cloth package was presented.
He opened it and saw that there were two tablets inside.
One was written by his own family, and his tone was quite smug, and his words were full of contempt for Meng Hun's actions.
The other is in unfamiliar handwriting, briefly stating that they could not kill Meng Yin, but they had to meet their demands.
"Haha... Ying'er only said five hundred stones, but this letter was changed to two thousand stones... She came from a pariah with shallow eyelids."
Meng Zhan casually threw the letter aside, with undisguised contempt and contempt in his eyes.
The Hu Cong leader swallowed and said, "Master, this food... do you really want to give it to him?"
Meng Zhan said leisurely, the peach blossom eyes that seemed to be drunk but not drunk were dyed with pride, "Give it, why not?"
Hu Cong's leader revealed a feeling of astonishment.
"It's only two thousand stone, and only people from such a humble and untouchable background would value it so much." Meng Zhan snorted and said coldly, "Follow my order, go to the grain depot to mobilize three thousand stone, and send a special food team to deliver it. Go, everything is subject to the safety of Erlang-Jun... As long as he receives the food, the grievance will be written off! And it is my boss, the last parting fee for him... "
The Hu Cong leader was stunned, three thousand stones of grain
All for Meng Hun
Meng Hun Lion opened his mouth, but only asked for two thousand stones.
Seeing that he was confused and didn't understand, Meng Zhan laughed inwardly, and was too lazy to explain.
Why did Meng Hun rebel against the Meng family
Why set fire to the commander's mansion
Why do you want to chase and kill Meng Yin for thousands of miles
Not in the name of revenge for his wife and daughter
Now, just two thousand stone can make Meng Hun give up killing Meng Ye, what does this mean
It means that the innocence and even the lives of his wife and daughter can be bought out with only two thousand stone grains, at this price.
In this case, his old club should be more generous!
When Meng Hun sold his wife and daughter cheaply, he kindly gave him an extra thousand shi.
The seemingly generous move is actually contemptible and humiliating.
Three thousand stone grains were not even a drop of a cow for the Meng family.
Meng Hun really dared to take over this batch of food, and when Meng Ye was safe, the Meng family would dare to spread the news.
Since then, the bloody men who avenge their wives and daughters are just people who deceive the world and steal their names, and they can all be sold with some food.
When the lady in the backyard heard that Meng Ye had been arrested, she was very worried at first, but she soon regained her peace of mind.
She twirled a piece of cake gracefully and said contemptuously, "This is the way a pariah is born, and he has no backbone. For a ration, he can do anything. This can be regarded as selling a wife and a daughter. If I knew today, why bother In the beginning? If you lost your wife and daughter, you could remarry and be reborn. The trouble was so big that you lost your status as a commander, and caused my son to suffer and suffer, and caused my husband to do everything he could for Meng County…”
Meng Hun's wife and daughter, but also of pariah origin, how can they compare with the noble blood
She didn't blame the mother and daughter for smearing the reputation of the child.
"Ah che-"
Meng Hun sneezed, raised his hand and pinched the tip of his itchy nose, which attracted the stares of the two around.
"Cough, you buried it..." Meng Hun said unnaturally, "I'll go to another place to see how it's arranged."
