Chapter 598 Who is Duke Zhou
After Li Zhaocheng sat on Ye Mengding's sedan chair, he considered his words and asked in a low voice: "If the younger generation says that Jia Sidao is going to kill King Zhong, will Ye Gong believe it?"

"I don't quite believe it."

"Then Jia Sidao wants to harm Ye Gong, is it credible?"

Ye Mengding smiled calmly, stroked his long gray beard, and said, "If you don't believe me, why would the old man invite you into the sedan chair?"

He and Jia Sidao joined forces to deal with Wu Qian and support Zhao Yu, and then parted ways and began to fight for power. This is an obvious and inevitable foregone conclusion.

Li Zhaocheng's voice became softer, and he whispered in Ye Mengding's ear, "Grand Ye's life is in danger, please follow me to get out of the sedan chair, leave behind the guards, and take shelter for a while."

"So the officials believed Jia Sidao's slander and wanted to arrest me?"

"Yes, if you don't leave, there will be no chance to explain."

Ye Mengding opened the car curtain and took a look, his old eyes were full of thought.

He also thought of the old Ganoderma lucidum sage that King Zhong had given Li Xia.

Of course it is not an elixir, because it is a tonic that Ye Mengding personally begged from the celestial master of Zhengyi School.

The important thing is that because of this matter, Li Xia has already stood on the same front as King Zhong.

But Jia Sidao is already dealing with Ye Mengding.

This is the most fundamental position of all parties.

"Okay! The old man will believe you once."

Li Zhaocheng didn't expect to persuade Ye Mengding so easily, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly cupped his hands in praise: "Mr. Ye has the ability to see the subtleties. The younger generation admires him. He will not dare to betray Mr. Ye's trust."

The sedan chair was not too big, and he kowtowed at this movement.

Li Zhaocheng was more stupid than Li Xia, but his words were much nicer.

"This junior wants to take Ye Gong to see the evidence first, okay?"

Ye Mengding nodded with a smile, ordered the sedan chair to be stopped, and let the servants go back to the mansion by themselves.

"Let's go."

"Please."

Li Zhaocheng then led Ye Mengding through the busy street, turned a few alleys, and entered an inn.

Coming out from the back, both of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, as if they were a pair of grandparents and grandchildren.

A donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the alley, picked them up, and went to Yujie.

……

It was about three o'clock in Xu time, and the lights on the Yujie Street were brightly lit, and the street vendors were shouting loudly, and there were many pedestrians.

Li Zhaocheng lightly lifted the curtain of the car, revealing a slit.

"Please look, Mr. Ye, the three people who are being escorted, are they accompanied by Prince Zhong?"

Ye Mengding leaned over to take a look, and said, "Not bad."

"The eight people escorting them are spies from the Imperial City Division, and the leader is Gu Yi, who is known to the Imperial City Division."

Ye Mengding nodded, with worry in his eyes, he murmured: "Jia Sidao...is this planning to blame the old man for King Rong's death?"

Li Zhaocheng sincerely admired him, and praised him again.

"Ye Gong sees the micro-knowledge."

"How can I prove my innocence to the officials?" Ye Mengding murmured to himself, already looking worried.

Li Zhaocheng couldn't help feeling ashamed.

He thought of what Li Xia said—"Tell Ye Mengding early that he may be able to prove his innocence, but I can't. What we have to do is not to help him, but to pull him to our side."

Ye Mengding said to himself again: "In addition to witnesses, I'm afraid there are physical evidences, in the Zhongwang Mansion?"

He looked across the long street again with his old eyes.

Two spies from the Imperial City Department walked in front to clear the way, followed by Gu Yi who walked with the sword, and the other five spies followed the three witnesses, so that the group was driving away the crowd and walking towards Miyagi.

"It seems that Gu Yi has already interrogated these three people, and the old man has a solution..."

Ye Mengding's face froze suddenly at this point, his old eyes widened, and he suspected that he had misread.

In the line of sight, a peddler carrying a load stood in front of Gu Yi and the others. When the pole swung, the porcelain in the basket fell and shattered to the ground.

The spies were yelling, suddenly, a few men rushed out from the street and bumped into the spies.

Gu Yi was still holding the knife, looking majestic, a dagger suddenly appeared from behind.

dripping blood...

Ye Mengding opened his mouth, his long beard trembling.

A moment ago, he also heard a mess of voices.

"Bang!" The porcelain was broken on the ground.

"Ouch……"

"What are you doing?! Blocking your grandfather, you know?!"

"Forgiveness, the villain will pick it up immediately..."

"Don't you have eyes?!"

"Everyone knows be careful!"

"..."

But with this knife, Ye Mengding seemed to be deaf for an instant.

In his ears, the whole long street was quiet, and those cries and noises could no longer be heard.

Only the blood from the tip of the dagger was still dripping.

He couldn't believe that someone dared to kill Huangcheng Si in the street.

Gu Yi, who was always shrewd and capable, fell on his back so easily.

Just stabbing it in with a single knife?
Die with one blow?
Human life is so fragile?
~~
"what!"

Screams suddenly rang through the crowd.

With a sound of "bang", a banner shed fell down, and the crowd dispersed like running water.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The long street was in chaos.

"Oh!"

Someone overturned the pavement, grabbed a shining single sword, and charged at the remaining spies of the Imperial City Division.

"puff!"

Blood splattered high...

Ye Mengding's old eyes widened, completely petrified.

His old body was trembling non-stop, he didn't dare to continue watching the bloody scene, but he didn't have time to turn around.

Finally, Li Zhaocheng lowered the car curtain.

"Grand Ye is frightened, please rest assured that the common people will not be hurt by mistake."

Ye Mengding trembled again, and opened his mouth in astonishment.

"You... you... How dare Li Li Feiyu? How dare he?"

There was another "bang", the donkey cart shook, and a heavy object was thrown onto the shaft.

"Don't kill me... woo..." Someone yelled strangely and was gagged.

In the carriage, Li Zhaocheng ignored him, looked at Ye Mengding solemnly, and said, "Ye Gong still doesn't understand? Jia Sidao's knife is already on our necks!"

There were two loud bangs outside, and someone shouted: "The goods have arrived, let's go!"

"go!"

Apparently, those murderers were running with a donkey cart.

Ye Mengding fell down and got up again, only to hear the policemen shouting in the distance.

"Chasing the murderer!"

"Chasing the murderer!"

As soon as the words caught his ears, Ye Mengding thought of what kind of "murderer" suddenly became like a temple elder like him, he choked in his throat, he couldn't breathe, so he had to slap his chest fiercely.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

"Lang Jun?" The burly man driving the car shouted, "Save him quickly! Don't let the old man go!"

~~
In a restaurant, Yang Shi glanced at the chaos on the long street, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and said something to himself.

"You should know that Alang didn't wait for today's event to come to an end before starting the middle strategy, but was preparing before returning to Lin'an."

The fact is that people like Yang Shi arrived in Lin'an a month earlier than Li Xia.

All planning seems to have started at the same time.

They tried their best, but they never put all their hopes on the emperor's trust.

"Everything is arranged?"

"Yes, it has been passed down, and it will start tonight."

"The old man has not heard..."

Yang was halfway through the truth when he suddenly heard singing from afar.

That was many people singing in the distant tiles.

"One person climbs up the door, and grass grows on the door. If you have a child, you can't raise it. Whose family will you adopt?"

Yang Shi smiled, stretched out his hand to dip in the tea, muttered slightly, and wrote a word on the table.

One person climbed up the door, and grass grew on the door.

When the fingertip stopped, it was clearly a word "Rui".

~~
Ye Mengding finally calmed down his breathing.

He felt a little quieter around him, presumably he had already left the chaotic street.

But far away, there is a singing voice floating over.

"...If you have a child, you can't raise it. Whose family should you adopt?"

Ye Mengding murmured, with anger in his eyes, he pulled Li Zhaocheng over and said, "This song..."

"Jia Sidao's rumors, Ye Gong still doesn't understand how far the situation has gone?" Li Zhaocheng said word by word: "Tonight, Jia Sidao will abolish the establishment!"

"No!"

Ye Mengding's voice was very vague, as if it had exploded from his throat.

"No!"

He can't accept it.

It is unacceptable that the prince he has carefully cultivated for nearly ten years is abolished.

This is his life's work.

"Never, never..."

"Second brother knows why he killed the imperial city in the street?!" Li Zhaocheng yelled, "Because the situation is so dangerous that it cannot be reversed except by means of thunder!"

"no no……"

"Ye Gong! Jia Sidao has perjured evidence that the three sons born to His Majesty were all poisoned by King Rong. The grass grows on the door, and you can't raise your son!"

"Really? Let the old man think about it..."

Ye Mengding was stunned by all the sudden changes, trying hard to calm down.

Li Zhaocheng didn't allow him to think about it, and shouted: "Bring it in!"

Someone pressed the three attendants who had just been robbed and pushed them into the carriage.

"Mr. Ye please interrogate himself!"

~~
The Royal Street was still in chaos due to the sudden murder, and the singing became louder and louder.

In the crowd that came hand in hand, someone unwrapped strings of copper coins and scattered them out, but in the end, the crowd spontaneously began to sing along.

~~
"Give me a confession!"

In the carriage, Ye Mengding shouted with the air of a senior official.

"Grand Ye, please forgive me! The villain's family has been taken away, and they want the villain to testify in front of the emperor, saying that... Ye Gong arranged for Li Xia to go to the Rong Palace with His Royal Highness, and Ye Gong and Li Xia colluded and killed Rong Wang. "

"The villain was also taken advantage of by the family, and he took advantage of it. He wanted to confess that he had seen Ye Gong hide a set of Wei Shizi's clothes in Zhongwang's mansion."

"..."

Li Zhaocheng didn't speak for a long time.

He didn't have to talk either.

The confessions of these three people are all true, and Jia Sidao has indeed arranged it in this way.

When Li Xia heard that Yunsun recounted the death of Zhao Yurui, and learned from Guan De that Dong Songchen had intervened, he could guess Jia Sidao's layout.

Jia Sidao is not Wu Qian. He has a courtier spirit in his work, will not violate the sacred heart, and will not support other clans. Therefore, he must protect Zhao Yu and find a scapegoat for Zhao Yu.

Only Ye Mengding is the most suitable to be the scapegoat.

Li Xia knows Jia Sidao too well, and Li Xia's strategy is to learn from Jia Sidao.

Obviously, Ye Mengding didn't know Jia Sidao that well.

In terms of scheming, this famous Confucian official is still far behind...

Ye Mengding covered his face with his hands, raised his head, and there was sadness in his eyes.

"Why did you come here? Why did you come here? Jia Shixian! You are deceiving people too much!"

"Take it."

Li Zhaocheng saluted solemnly, and said: "Dare to ask Ye Gong, how many troops can be temporarily mobilized to save His Majesty, His Highness?"

Ye Mengding suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse.

"May I ask how much troops Ye Gong can mobilize?" Li Zhaocheng asked again.

"Old man... Zhong Wang's mansion... Zhong Wang's mansion can control 2000 people in name... This old man and the Dianqian Secretary... This old man has actually secretly recruited the Dianqian Si Shenwu Youjun...but it can't...it can't!"

"Ye Gong! Ye Gong, the danger is imminent! Please save Da Song Sheji!"

"Let the old man think about it, the old man needs to think about it..."

~~
In the distance, the singing became louder. After singing the first few lines repeatedly, it finally moved on to the following lyrics.

"Being able to speak at the age of seven, you have no strength in your hands and feet. If you lift up the country, the power of the country will be lost in ten years."

At this point, many people dare not sing along.

But the singing was getting closer and closer, and it was getting closer and closer to Miyagi and here.

"If you want to make the world peaceful, you can only hope that the Duke of Zhou will go out, the country will return to the clan, and the Duke of Zhou will reassure the Lord..."

Ye Mengding raised his hand, as if to suppress Li Zhaocheng's voice.

He tried his best to listen carefully, and finally heard the last sentence of the ballad.

"Promulgate the policy of public security, Yuntai generals and talents, go back to the Ba Gorge, station Han and Hubei, and aid Jiangnan... When the thunder falls, the Duke of Zhou will go out."

Ye Mengding couldn't believe it, couldn't believe Jia Sidao was so bold.

He just opened his mouth and murmured.

"Thunder falls? Duke Zhou?"

"boom!"

The ground trembled, and the donkey pulling the cart was frightened, pawing its hooves and yelling.

Ye Mengding was helped out of the donkey cart, turned his head and looked west, only to see the direction of Miyagi burning into the sky.

"boom!"

"boom!"
