Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 428 Starting a New Life

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei said a little irritably:
"If we really can't find any clues, that's all we can do."

At this moment, a messenger came to report that it was Meng Ling'er who came to see the imperial master.

When Yuan Shou heard this, he also said hello to Li Chengqian and went to the side room to see Meng Ling'er.

When they entered the side room, they saw Meng Ling'er, who still had a plain voice, and knew that she was keeping her filial piety for Hu Man.

She couldn't help but nodded secretly, she was a kind and kind woman.

After the two parties greeted each other, Meng Ling'er took the lead and said:

"National Master, I came here this time, firstly, to thank you for your life-saving grace, and secondly, to bid you farewell."

Yuan Shouwei was a little surprised and said in surprise:

"Farewell? Are you leaving Bianliang?"

"You have made great achievements this time, and your status has been restored to that of a good family. You can live a good life in Bianliang City, why do you want to leave?"

Meng Linger said softly:

"Hu Lang is gone, and I have nothing to worry about in this city."

"Staying here and thinking about people after seeing things will only increase your sadness."

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei expressed his understanding and asked sympathetically:
"It makes sense. You are still young. It would be good to start a new life in a different place."

"Where are you going? I'll find someone to escort you there."

After hearing this, Meng Ling'er's eyes flashed with light and she said with a smile:

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

"I'm going back to my hometown of Chenzhou. It's not too far from here. I can just go by myself, so I won't bother the Imperial Master."

After Yuan Shouwei listened, he also said with approval:
"Yes, Ye Luo returns to his roots. You have been wandering outside for so long, and going home is a good choice."

"Do you have any other relatives at home?"

When Meng Ling'er heard this, her expression seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and she replied:
"There is also a younger sister in my hometown. She, like me, entered Firework Lane."

"Hu Lang left me a lot of money, so I thought about redeeming her life first when I go back."

"Then take her to a strange place and start a new life."

Why did both sisters join this industry?It seems that Meng Ling'er may also have a sad past. Yuan Shouwei thought about it and said:

"If that's the case, I can be of some help."

"I'll write you a letter. You can take it to the county magistrate of Chenzhou."

"With him helping you, it will be easier for you to redeem your sister."

Meng Linger bit her lip lightly, shook her head and said:
"Redemption is nothing more than spending more money."

"I heard from Miaozhen that you are arresting a Taoist priest who slipped through the net recently. I won't cause any trouble to the Imperial Master."

When Yuan Shouwei heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the countless women's clothing in the Sanqing Temple of Gaodian Taoist Temple.

And Li Chengqian just told him that he had finished investigating everyone in Bianliang City.

But isn't Meng Ling'er also one of the famous 'duzhi' in Bianliang City?
I wonder if Li Chengqian has ever asked Meng Linger?

After thinking of this, Yuan Shouwei immediately asked:
"Ms. Meng, do you know a Taoist named Cheng Gongying?"

After speaking, he described the person's appearance.

After hearing this, Meng Ling'er also said:
"National Master, I heard other sisters talking about this person."

"Could it be that he is the one you are looking for now?"

Yuan Shouwei was delighted when he heard this and immediately said:
"Do you know the whereabouts of this man?"

After that, he stopped hiding and told Cheng Gongying's story.

When Meng Ling'er heard that Cheng Gongying was responsible for the Yellow River bursting its banks, a trace of undisguised hatred flashed in her eyes, and she murmured to herself:

"It turned out to be him. Without him, maybe many people would not have died."

After saying a few words, he looked up at Yuan Shouwei and said:
"Imperial Master, although I have never dealt with this person, I know where he went." Yuan Shouwei was surprised and happy as soon as he said this. He stood up with dazzling eyes. Looking at Meng Ling'er, she asked hurriedly:

"My lady, tell me the details."

"If the information you provide is accurate, then you have saved countless Bianliang people."

Seeing Yuan Shouwei's excited look, Meng Linger felt a little happy in her heart. She was finally able to do something for her benefactor, and then she said:

"The Taoist should have gone to Chenzhou."

"He goes to Chenzhou to pay homage to the Human Ancestor Tomb at this time every year."

"Didn't I just tell the Imperial Master about my sister? Her name is Liu Ye'er, and she is one of the best known names in Chenzhou, so I have to look for her every time I go there. My sister and I often write letters. , she once mentioned this to me in a letter."

Yuan Shouwei suppressed his excitement, looked at Meng Linger with some urgency, and said again:

"Madam, can you confirm this?"

Meng Ling'er nodded firmly and said:
"Yes. Because the Renzu Mausoleum has a rigid rule. If you go to worship the Renzu, you have to go there for three consecutive years without interruption."

"Calculating the time, this year is exactly the third year for that Taoist."

When Yuan Shouwei heard this, he no longer had any doubts. He immediately took two steps quickly and arrived in front of Meng Ling'er and said:
"My lady, wait here for a moment. I'll report this to the prince."

"Later, I will go to Chenzhou with you."

He returned to the main hall and told Li Chengqian what Meng Linger had said.

After listening to his description, Li Chengqian couldn't help but excitedly pushed forward the case, waved his fist in the air, and said excitedly:

"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it."

"Yuan Shouwei, you will follow Meng Ling'er to Chenzhou now to capture Cheng Gongying."

"I'll send another 2000 troops, no, three thousand, I'll give you 3000 troops, you must take down the culprit in one fell swoop."

Yuan Shouwei looked at Li Chengqian's excited expression, and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, why do you give me so many people?"

"When the fight actually breaks out, it's basically a matter between me and Cheng Gongying, and no one else can get involved."

"Besides, if there are too many people, it is easy to scare the snake. Just give me 300 people."

After listening to Yuan Shouwei's slightly ridiculing words, Li Chengqian felt that he was a little too excited, and smiled at Yuan Shouwei sheepishly:

"Everything depends on you, Yuan Shouwei. Now you go to the British public to mobilize troops."

"I will wait for your triumphant return here in Bianliang City."

Yuan Shouwei also smiled and nodded.After returning to the side room, she said to Meng Linger who was waiting:
"Mrs. Meng, do you bring many salutes?"

"If there are too many, I will arrange two people to help you clean up."

After Meng Ling'er heard this, she shook her head repeatedly and said sadly:

"Only some of the clothes and gold and silver items that I had with me. The rest were buried in Yanluo Alley."

"I can sort it out quickly on my own."

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei knew that he had accidentally touched Meng Ling'er's wound, so he smiled apologetically at her and comforted her:
"It's a good thing to bury it. Buried with it is your past."

"Let's go back to Chenzhou and start a new life."

"If there's no problem, we'll meet at the ferry in an hour."

After hearing Yuan Shouwei's comforting words, Meng Ling'er became more energetic and said thoughtfully:

"The Imperial Master is right, my past has been buried."

"Okay, I'll go back and clean up now. See you later."

After sending Meng Linger away, Yuan Shouwei also sent someone to call Wu Yan, Zhongqing, Liu Miaozhen and others to the governor's mansion to meet them.

He himself went to see Li Ji and mobilize his troops.
