Chapter 17 Is it him? !
The two guards didn't dare to delay, they hurriedly turned around and led the way.

The attendants helped up the trembling Meng Shaohou.

Sure enough, lying in the blind corner was a son who had died a long time ago. It was the eldest grandson of the Meng family, Meng Chi.

That young master Pianpian who was supposed to be sitting in a private room, eating melons and fruits comfortably, chatting and laughing with others, now opened his mouth and stared at a pair of almost protruding eyes, his body lying on his back was soaked in a pool of blood, his death was horrible .

Meng Fu covered his eyelids with trembling hands, two lines of clear tears slowly slipped down his cloudy eyes.

In the pain of bereavement, this middle-aged man seems to have aged ten years in an instant, and even quietly added a few more wrinkles on his forehead, which makes people look bitter.

He whimpered silently, and after a long while, he suddenly raised his head, his tiger eyes seemed to be rekindled, and said: "Where is the murderer! This matter... Who did it!"

The leader of the guards knelt down and said: "Young master died in a strange way, this place is desolate, I can't guess who did it for a while, but..."

Meng Fu turned his head and glared at him: "But what? Tell me what you have to say!"

The leader of the guards said: "We saw a shoe print on the young master's body. The shoe print has a peculiar pattern. I thought it was strange, so I rubbed it down and asked the young master to take a look."

The head of the guard signaled his subordinates to step forward, and the person behind him immediately presented a pattern drawn on paper.

Meng Fu snatched it away, and when he saw the shoe print, his eyes widened immediately, and then he stood up abruptly.

"It's him?!"

……

At the same time, a pair of boots stepped into the gate of Pingnanhou's Mansion.

The person who came was wearing a black gauze hat, and it was a hot day, but he was wrapped tightly in an inconspicuous coarse cloth, with every inch of skin leaking from his body.

Without saying a word, he flashed the bright jade plaque at the guard at the door, and the guard opened the door without saying a word, letting him in.

After entering the door, an inner servant went up to greet him, led him into the hall, served him tea in person, and said: "Please wait a little later in the inner hall, our Lord Marquis will be here soon."

The visitor nodded without making a sound, and just sipped his tea.

Not long after, Pingnan Hou Mu Wenqing appeared at the door.

He was only wearing a single suit, with a slightly open collar revealing his solid chest and abdomen. He looked handsome and handsome, but he was a bit abrupt and burly.

Xu Shi just came back from the martial arts field. He was wearing crystal clear beads of sweat on his neck, and his long hair was winding against his wheat-colored skin. Under his collar, he could still see the obvious ups and downs on his chest. .

Mu Wenqing casually took a coat from the shelf and put it on hastily, gulped down the cold water handed over by the attendant, wiped his face with a towel indiscriminately, and then stepped into the door.

He paused in front of the visitor, bowed his hands respectfully, nodded and said: "Master."

The visitor put down his teacup, pinched the brim of his pocket and took off his bamboo hat. His face seemed to be meticulously carved, flawless and dazzling - it was Chu Zhengyue, the son of Prince Linjiang.

He raised his eyes, the sharpness in his eyes no longer intended to cover up, the young Hou Ye trembled all over, and subconsciously lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

Chu Zhengyue lightly tapped the corner of the table with his fingers, and said, "How?"

Pingnan Marquis Mu Wenqing took his seat and said: "As Marquis expected, the Meng family noticed something was wrong the day before yesterday. Now Meng Fu has personally led people to search for it. It is expected that Meng Chi's body will be found soon."

A sneer flashed across Chu Zhengyue's eyes, and he said: "What a bunch of trash, I thought that old fox Meng Fu must have found out that his son was missing, but I didn't expect this old man to be incompetent. It's a waste of our efforts thought."

Mu Wenqing said: "It's a matter of time before the Liu family and the Meng family break up. The son and I are just pushing the envelope and tearing the window paper ahead of time."

"The Meng family, the protector of the country, wholeheartedly embraces Zhao Hu, the crown prince born by Empress Mingyao. It is obviously an idea to coerce the emperor to command the princes." Chu Zhengyue propped his forehead and said, "Actually, although Zhao Hu was named the prince , with his ability, he is not to be feared, but he is backed by the Meng family, so it is really difficult to deal with.

"The Liu family is the most troublesome weed on the wall. They seem to be as attached to the King of Shu as you are, but the Liu family is the most cunning. Seeing how they don't know what to ask, I'm afraid they have already become suspicious of you.

"The most important thing right now is to make the Liu family cut off the possibility of forming an alliance with the Meng family, so that the Liu family can panic, and the two tigers will fight, and we will benefit from it."

Mu Wenqing said: "The second son of the Liu family, Liu Muzhi, has done a lot in court, if he finds out about it...?"

Chu Zheng sat up straighter, his eyes full of peace.

"The Liu family relies on Zhao Xu, the king of Shu, and has always had his eyes above the top. The head of the Liu family is already in the court. If Liu Muzhi will rise to the top in the future, and the youngest daughter Liu Muyan will marry again with the honor of her brother and father, wouldn't the entire court be left with Liu? Are the two Meng families fighting against each other?"

Mu Wenqing said: "My son means..."

Chu Zheng became more indifferent: "If you don't know the good and the bad, then there's no need to keep it."

Mu Wenqing understood the killing intent in his words, and said with a smile, "Understood."

After eating half a cup of tea, he suddenly remembered something and gave a half-smirk, and said: "Speaking of Liu Muyan, I vaguely remember that the girl seems to be very fond of the prince, if the prince takes her into his arms In the midst of this, wouldn't the Liu family naturally become in the palm of the son?"

Chu Zhengyue didn't make a sound, just looked up at him.

Mu Wenqing said with a smile: "It's just a joke, you don't have to worry about it."

Chu Zhengyue rubbed the cup wall, stared at the tea stalks and tea leaves on the blue tea, and said casually, "I will never disappoint a woman because of court disputes."

Rao Mu Wenqing couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words.

It took a while for him to regain his smile, and said: "I never thought that Shi Ziye is a man who stands above heaven and earth, with such an ambition in his heart, but also a tough man with tenderness. Wenqing really admires him."

However, Chu Zhengyue didn't respond to the compliments for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Chu Zhengyue staring at the tea in a daze. His eyes were as deep as a pool of water. He seemed to be remembering something, as if he could listen to everything. not in.

And in Chu Zhengyue's mind, following those words, a pair of clear eyes appeared involuntarily.

Because of Meng Yi's embarrassment at the banquet, she lowered her head and smiled slightly, she timidly covered her petal-like lips with a flick of her sleeves, with a hint of cunning and pretty that is unique to girls, people are unconsciously attracted to her, and they are reluctant to look away half point.

She hesitated, as if she had made up her mind to ask: "Master, what do you think of my life?"

She blushed, her eyes were as bright as the most beautiful star in the sky.

Under the colorful falling flowers, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, shining like spring flowers, and all the flowers are overshadowed by her.

Even he couldn't help but lose his mind when looking at her.

She said she likes herself, but how did she know his identity, why did she encourage her brother to tease Meng Yi for no reason, and why did she look at Mu Wenqing who was toasting to her without showing any surprise?
What is this gorgeous girl up to?
The more Chu Zheng thought about it, the more confused he became about his guess. After realizing it, he realized that he had been staring at the tea for a long time, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Mu Wenqing who was snickering before he could retract the corner of his mouth.

He coughed lightly, and drank half a cup of fragrant tea in his hand into his stomach in one gulp.

Maybe he drank it too fast and didn't taste the taste for a while.

Even the heartbeat speeded up inexplicably.

Chu Zheng covered his heart more, and couldn't help frowning.

He didn't like his reaction.

 I only knew that yesterday was the college entrance examination yesterday. !
