The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 505 Double Ninth Day [Four]

Xue Pan was naturally grateful and admired for Jiao Shun's way of volunteering to help Xue's family.

But for the final result, Xue Datou was not very satisfied.

No matter what, the Mei family should see the blood.

It would be better if the blood flowed like a river!
Of course, after all, he still didn't have the guts to rush into Mei's house and wipe out all the people, so he thought about the method of the second kick.

Originally, he wanted to do it in the middle of the night, but after listening to his idea, the relatives around him were worried that they would be smashed by the night watchmen, so they changed it before dawn.

This morning.

In the small hall of the Mei family's back house, Mei Hanlin sat on a chair in disheveled clothes, his eyes were bloodshot.

He had no news at home due to his illness, so it was not until yesterday evening that he learned of the major changes in the morning court.

Although I don't know exactly what happened at that time, I can vaguely guess that it probably has something to do with my impeachment letter!

but……

It was obvious that the thief Jiao was impeached, but why was it that Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites and the servants of the left and right were the ones who were imprisoned and imprisoned in the end?Even reopened Zhao Prison for this? !

It wasn't the age that was wrong, and Mei Guangyan would probably suspect that the thief Jiao was actually the emperor's illegitimate son raised outside.

All night yesterday, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well. He was afraid that the moment he closed his eyes and opened them, he would be caught by the Long Guard and tortured in Zhao Prison. Early Ming!
When it was five o'clock, he simply put on a coat and got up, stunned in the outer living room.

To be honest, he already regretted it now.

If he had known that the emperor favored Jiao Shun to such an extent that he could not tell right from wrong, why would he bother to provoke him?

Quietly manage his son's wedding, maybe in the future he can borrow Jiao Shun's help by beating around the bush.

How is it now...

"master."

Just as I was regretting my mistake, my wife's concerned voice came from my ear.

Mei Guangyan turned her head to look, and saw that his wife had also come out of the bedroom in a small gown, looking at him worriedly.

"what happened?"

Mei Guangyan scowled, his wife knew it was good to be considerate, but he didn't want his wife to see himself so weak and helpless.

"or……"

Mrs. Mei stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for her husband, and persuaded softly: "Why don't we go out of Beijing for a while to avoid it, no matter what kind of official position we have, it's better than staying in the capital..."

"A Woman's View"

Mei Guangyan interrupted her with a flick of her sleeve, stood up and said righteously: "********,********? Today's court is full of traitors and sycophants, it is the time when our generation of scholars stand up - this is just now Facing setbacks, I ran out of the capital in a panic, but what has become of me, Mei Guangyan?!"

Seeing her husband's stern words, Mrs. Mei immediately lowered her head and dared not persuade her any more.

Only then did Mei Guangyan sit back on the chair uprightly, but at the same time she secretly complained, if she had managed to leave Beijing to avoid disaster before handing over the booklet.

But now that even Shang Shu's servant has been sent to Zhao Prison, how can it be so easy for him, the instigator, to escape?

But even telling his wife about these things won't help. It's better to insist on maintaining his image of being majestic and upright.

Hey~
It would have been nice if he hadn't listened to that crooked idea of ​​Chen Yan, his reputation would be ruined, at most he would be dismissed from office, but now he is in this muddy water...

Bang, bump, bump~
Just when I was very sad, I suddenly heard thunderous explosions in the yard, one after another, almost without a pause!

Mei Guangyan and his wife were startled, they hurriedly opened the door and looked outside, only to see gray and white trails in the morning light, and then clusters of flames exploded above the inner courtyard, shaking people's ears buzzing.

How could someone be setting off firecrackers this early in the morning?
Still keep it in your own home?
"not good!"

Before Mei Guangyan could react, Mrs. Mei suddenly grabbed his arm and shouted, "This is for the old lady's house!"

It was only then that Mei Guangyan realized this, and she didn't care about her disheveled clothes, so she staggered out of the door and searched for the old lady's house.

Sure enough, the target of those second kickers was Mei Mu's residence. By the time Mei Guangyan arrived, the 'shelling' had stopped, leaving only shredded paper shells all over the floor.

"Mother, mother?!"

Mei Guangyan yelled loudly, and was about to rush into the room when suddenly the door curtain was raised, and two servant girls helped the old lady out of the room. The firecrackers in this year are much stronger than those in previous years."

Then he asked his son again: "When do you eat Yuanxiao?"

Mei Guangyan was speechless for a while, and at the same time she was relieved, she ordered the stewards in the mansion to investigate immediately, which shameless thief did it.

At this time Mrs. Mei also followed into the courtyard, seeing that her mother-in-law was fine, but her husband was going to catch the thief with great fanfare, so she hurriedly grabbed him and suggested in a low voice, "Master, you might as well send someone to invite the doctor first."

Mei Guangyan thought so too, although the mother didn't seem to be seriously ill, but it's better to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment just in case.

So I prepared to order someone to invite the doctor.

But before she could speak, she was stopped by Mrs. Mei again: "My lord, what I mean is, why don't you publicize that the old lady was so frightened that she is bedridden now..."

"What nonsense?!"

Mei Guangyan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, shook off her wife and scolded: "It's so good, how dare you curse your mother to be bedridden?!"

"I didn't mean that!"

Mrs. Mei hurriedly defended: "I was thinking that everyone outside is sympathizing with Xue's family now, and our family is restless because of this. If our family also suffers, maybe we can..."

Only then did Mei Hanlin come to a sudden realization, thinking that although this bitter trick was a bit unlucky, it was indeed a good opportunity to win sympathy—after all, in this era where all kindness and filial piety are the first priority.Scaring the elderly with firecrackers is too lowly. If it can be found out that the Xue family or that Jiao Shun did it, it may not be able to completely reverse the public opinion.

Immediately he made a decision and said: "Then do as you wish!"

As he spoke, he went forward and persuaded his mother to go back into the house, and then ordered someone to invite the doctor with great fanfare.

Mrs. Mei wanted to follow in, but when she reached the door, she heard her son's voice behind her.

"mother."

Mei Baosen also looked unkempt, and subconsciously stared at his mother's open coat, and then asked as if nothing happened: "What happened just now, I was asleep and woke up."

Mrs. Mei then told what happened just now, and told her son that the old lady was going to pretend to be sick, and finally said: "The old lady has never been persuaded, only you and your father can stop it." It's okay, since you won't be going back to the academy for the time being, you might as well move here to stay for a few days."

"This……"

Mei Baosen showed a bitter expression on his face, but he reluctantly nodded in response, and then he couldn't help muttering: "If you want to fight back now, the old lady just fell ill, isn't it enough?"

"What did you say?"

"No, nothing."

Mei Baosen laughed, followed his mother into the room, chatted with his father, and finally persuaded the old lady to lie back on the bed.

At this moment, the manager also came back to report, saying that those firecrackers were all piled up on the wall, and they were connected with long lead wires.

After hearing this, Mei Hanlin cursed: "A bunch of useless things!"

"Yes Yes."

The steward nodded and bowed in agreement, and then cautiously asked: "Master, should I report this matter to Shuntian Mansion or City Patrol Division?"

"That's natural!"

Mei Hanlin waved his hand and scolded: "Hurry up and send someone to report to the authorities!"

When the steward took the order, Mei Hanlin was about to check on his mother's situation, when suddenly he heard his son muttering to the side: "What can we do with the report? According to the current situation, at most it will be a nuisance. I'm afraid that people may not be willing to investigate carefully."

"evil creature!"

Mei Hanlin opened his eyes angrily, pointed at his son and was about to yell at him, but Mrs. Mei scolded him first: "What do you know, we report to the police to spread the matter, whether we can catch people is the second priority."

To be honest, Mei Hanlin really pointed at the Shuntian Mansion and the Xuncheng Division to catch people at first—it is best to catch the Xue family or Jiao Shun, and only in this way can he turn against the trend Chance.

Hearing the conversation between his wife and son, his heart suddenly turned cold, but he couldn't think of any other way, so he could only pretend to be angry and walked into the room with a flick of his sleeve.

Mrs. Mei quickly followed in.

Meibaosen slammed his mouth in the back, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't do something absolutely, what effect can it have?"

Originally, there was a estrangement between the father and son due to the arbitrarily withdrawn marriage. In the past few days, Mei Baosen watched coldly, seeing his father hiding at home like a turtle, and there was no serious way to deal with it. He underestimated his father's contempt It is also increasing day by day.

After following up in the inner room, when the little maid brought the clothes and his mother went to change elsewhere, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned up to his father and whispered, "Father, what happened to the fact that the Ministry of Rites was 'killed' yesterday morning? Is our family okay?"

Mei Hanlin's face was sullen, but when he heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he scolded dryly, "What are you doing asking about these things? You don't have to worry about family affairs, you just need to study in peace!"

Mei Baosen also thought that his father had just entered the Taoist memorial, and this happened in a blink of an eye, so he asked casually, but he didn't expect that this matter was actually related to Mei Guangyan!

Because of this matter, even the senior members of the second and third ranks have been imprisoned, so what good can they do if they get involved? !

Seeing that disaster is imminent at home, what kind of bird book are you reading? !

Mei Baosen shrank into the corner in a panic and irritability, he couldn't help thinking that his father was unreliable, if he didn't think of a way to turn the situation around, his family would be destroyed in a blink of an eye!

But he is a boy and a half, what good idea can he have in a hurry?

After thinking about it, my eyes fell on my grandmother unconsciously, and then I was full of one sentence: a small amount is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband!
…………

In the Grand View Garden.

Xue Pan finished the story triumphantly, and then boasted: "Brother said that this matter should not be exposed, so I didn't go to Mei's house at all, I just waited two streets away - let me tell you, the firecrackers are all They are custom-made, and they all make loud noises..."

"Who knows about this?"

Jiao Shun interrupted his dancing with a sullen face: "Where are these people now?"

Only now did Xue Pan see that something was wrong. Although he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but now that Jiao Shun's power is growing, and the master and slave between the two have changed positions, it is not the time to hitchhike to Sifang Street to watch the excitement. .

Therefore, the big head quickly suppressed his smile, and said awkwardly: "Yeah, only the four or five boys around me know that they just got my reward, and they should be eating wine outside now."

"You let them go to drink?!"

Jiao Shun glared fiercely, and said, "Have you ever thought about what to do if the old lady of the Mei family has trouble?"

"It is for her to die..."

Xue Pan blurted out the thoughts in his heart, and seeing Jiao Shun's face became more and more gloomy, he changed his words temporarily: "Brother, don't worry, those boys are very nervous, they used a long lead wire, and wait for the Mei family to find them." By that time, they would have already run out of Eight Streets!"

"Do you think you can rest easy if you don't catch it on the spot?"

Seeing his disbelief, Jiao Shun sneered: "Let me ask you, where did you get those firecrackers? There shouldn't be such a business under the Xue family, right?"

"I asked someone to buy it from the street!"

"Heh~ This is not the end of the year. There are only five or six firecracker businesses in the capital for a long time. If you really ask, can you guarantee that the government will not be able to track down those little servants of yours?"

"This one……"

"Besides, you just let them go out for a drink after you finished this job, aren't you afraid that they'll get drunk and spread the word about it?!"

"Uh……"

"Once it is found out that you sent someone to do it, then you will be arrested and imprisoned. I am afraid that even the hard work of everyone these days will be in vain!"

"This this……"

Xue Pan swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly: "It's not my people who killed me directly, when I was in Jinling a few years ago..."

"You also know that it is Jinling!"

Jiao Shun interrupted him angrily: "Not to mention that this is at the feet of the emperor, how many people are watching the matter of the Xue family and the Mei family, don't you know? If there is a case, think It is absolutely impossible to turn a major event into a small matter!"

Xue Pan was finally frightened, grabbed Jiao Shun's sleeve, and begged, "Brother, you can't leave me alone! I just got engaged, and I'm going to get married a few years ago. Wouldn't a charming daughter-in-law take advantage of others?!"

At this moment, I can still think of the charming little lady, she really is the one in my generation...

Bah~
It really is a brainless color batch!

"Get those people back right now, and then arrange for them to go to the south to avoid disaster—don't go back to Jinling, if things get serious, if they don't get everything together, someone with a heart will go to Jinling to investigate. It's best to choose another place and get them there first. A fat vacancy, and some future benefits!"

In fact, the safest way is to kill people.

But Jiao Shun would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing himself. If Xue Pan made any mistakes and finally fell into the law and confessed the reason, wouldn't he be charged with abetting?

So there is no choice but to fall back.

"Also, you should send someone to keep an eye on it, to see if the Mei family has invited a doctor, if so...forget it, I'll do it."

Facing Xue Pan, who Baba was looking at him, Jiao Shunzhi felt that his molars hurt. If it wasn't for Aunt Xue who didn't get it, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this idiot.
