Chapter 357
Meng Lianyi deliberately delayed for a moment, and when she reached the door, all she heard were their whispers, "You tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in this young master's gourd? Call us early in the morning , is there something important?"

"Who knows, after staying in the south of the Yangtze River for a few months, the dam has already been built, and I haven't seen him return to Beijing for a long time. I don't know why?"

"Keep your voices down, this is where the young master stays, be careful of your hats!"

Meng Lianyi snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Feng, he understood, "Master National Teacher is here!"

All the officials stood up immediately, straightened their official robes, and after seeing her, they all bowed and said, "See you, my lord!"

Speaking of the title of son, it was Meng Lianyi's request, and she was really not used to others respectfully addressing her as an adult.Compared to this, she is more willing to listen to the son!

"My lords, please stand up!"

"Thank you sir!"

Meng Lianyi smiled apologetically, "I came down late, I'm really sorry to keep you adults waiting for so long!"

"Where is the son?"

"But I don't know why the young master summoned us?"

She smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that four months ago, when I first came here, I said that embezzling a huge sum of money from the river dam is a serious crime. Unfortunately, after so long, this case has not made any progress." , even the money for the construction of the dam was jointly awarded by all of you!"

"Speaking of which, I should be the son of the world to thank all the masters for their generosity!"

One of them stood up with a look of panic, "My lord's words are serious. As an official of the court, it is the duty of the ministers to do these things!"

Meng Lianyi nodded in agreement, "Sir Shang's words are very true."

"As officials of the imperial court, these things are what we should do. However, I have something that I don't understand, so I ask Mr. Shang to explain it!"

Na Shangming stroked his beard and made a gesture of invitation with one hand, "Young master, it's okay to say!"

"Lord Shang also said just now that it is our duty to seek the well-being of the common people. But I don't know what to do with such an official who embezzles huge sums of money from the river dam, fills his own pockets, and has no regard for the lives of the common people?"

"Of course it will be punished!"

Meng Lianyi slapped the table and stood up, "Master Shang's words really speak to my heart!"

"As an official, he seeks his own government in his position, but some people don't care about the life and death of the people. Get rid of it, the sky will get rid of it!"

"But I don't know, all the adults here, but what about one of them?"

As soon as the words fell, some people's faces changed drastically, and some people panicked.Meng Lianyi sneered and put it back in front of her eyes.

"To tell the truth, my lords, I invite you all to come here today, just to invite you to watch a play. After watching it, we will decide what to do!"

Before they could answer, she clapped her hands, and several people in yamen uniforms walked in from the outside.

"Tell the adults here, what did you do when the dam was built many years ago?"

Meng Lianyi stared at them sharply. Seeing their faltering, she said sharply, "Why don't you tell me?"

"Speak small, small talk!"

"Remember, it should have been five years ago, the senior Shang told the young ones to hide the money for building the river dam under the river dam... The young one had to obey for the sake of the whole family. But when the little one was building the dam, he sold his mind and set up a mechanism where the money was hidden, and no one could open it unless he was a villain!"

"The villain did this because he wanted to leave a way out for himself... Unexpectedly, in less than five years, the river dam collapsed, and the money hidden inside was not revealed to the world because of the existence of the mechanism. So Mr. Shang again Find the little one, and order the little one to dig out the silver... The little one thinks, I can't get rid of this matter, if I help, I will die, if I don't help, I will die. If I can give my family a worry-free rest of my life, then I will be dead , it is worth it!"

Meng Lianyi pointed at the Lord Shang, "You can see clearly, but this Lord Shang in front of you? You must know that slandering an imperial court official is a death penalty for the nine clans!"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense, it's indeed Mr. Shang!"

Meng Lianyi turned to look at him, "Master Shang, what do you have to say?"

"It's just nonsense. I have been an official for [-] years, and I have been conscientious and dedicated to my duties. Now that the young master listens to the words of the villain, do you have to doubt the official?

Meng Lianyi walked up to him, bent over, she whispered in his ear, "I'll make you understand!"

"Come on, bring things up!"

Seeing the box lifted up in front of him, the face of Mr. Shang turned pale.

"This, why are these here?"

Shang Ming stared in disbelief at the dozen or so big boxes in front of him, all of which were filled with gold and silver. If you count them carefully, it might be no less than 500 million taels.

"My lord, I remember clearly. Just now, Mr. Shang, you were the most righteous, but I didn't expect to be found by the subordinates? There is a saying in this world, the most dangerous place is the safest safe haven."

"It seems that I have underestimated your abilities!"

"Aren't you telling the truth now? Or do you really want me to find you out one by one before you tell the truth?"

Meng Lianyi looked at them coldly, and knew that she was frightened at this moment, what did she do then?
You're dizzy seeing so much silver, right?
Na Shangming put away the fear on his face, and sneered at Meng Lianyi, "My lord, so what if you found out about this? The entire south of the Yangtze River is under our control, do you think you can still ride the waves? "

"Let me tell you the truth, if you cooperate with us, the money is just a fraction, and the opportunity to make a fortune in the future is yet to come!"

"The state of Xuanyuan will be in danger in the near future. Don't you think that such a talented and brilliant young master doesn't understand the saying that a man who understands current affairs is a hero?"

She nodded and paced back and forth, "A man who knows the current affairs is a gentleman?"

"Master Shang, why don't you just say that good birds break trees and live there?"

"No wonder I look at Mr. Shang so much like a vividly dressed beast!"

"You..." Shang Ming looked at Meng Lianyi with an ugly face, and shook his fingers, "Meng Yiren, let me tell you, we only call you son because we respect you, if you offend us, you are nothing!"

"It's just an airborne national teacher, what's there to be ashamed of?"

"My lord's words are wrong. This brazen person is clearly the emperor, isn't he? My son has always been trying to persuade him."

"My lord, I would like to advise you. After doing these things, there will be no medicine for regret. Maybe you can leave your whole body behind now to keep your family safe. If you are still stubborn, you will have to taste the bitter fruit for yourself when the time comes." of!"

Looking around them again, all of them struggled, "You guys have to think about it, should you continue to help the evildoers, or should you abandon the dark and turn to the bright? Remember, I only give you this one chance, if you don't cherish it, then don't Blame me for not warning you in advance!"

"This……"

"What do you think we should do? I'm afraid that the person who came here is not kind..."

Someone shouted without fear of death, "What are you afraid of? The entire Jiangnan is under our control. Mr. Shang still has a [-] river defense battalion in his hands. How can he be afraid of a brat?"

Meng Lianyi looked at them with a half-smile, "It seems that everyone has already chosen, right?"

"In that case, how about we take a look at the grand finale?"

"Lin Feng, bring the things in!"

Lin Feng led the order to go out, and a moment later, he was carrying a black package in his hand.Glancing at Meng Lianyi, the latter nodded, "Open it and let the adults take a look!"

Open one, it is a human head.

"Zhou'er..."

"You, you, you actually killed Zhou'er?"

"This Shang Zhou is your only son, and he is the leader of the river defense battalion. If you say I won't kill him, who will I kill?"

Meng Lianyi saw Shang Ming sitting down heavily, his face was pale, and he looked at him without any mercy, "My lord, I have already said that you have to choose a good side. If you listened to me from the beginning, why bother to watch?" To order the young master to die tragically? In the final analysis, it was you who killed him, didn't you?"

"Zhou'er, Zhou'er, I want to kill you and avenge Zhou'er!"

Meng Lianyi thought it was funny, and her pretty face was full of coldness, "Revenge? Mr. Shang, let's see if he has the strength now. The river defense camp is in my hands now. At this moment, your family members must have been imprisoned. Take you down, don't you think it's easy?"

"How, how is this possible?"

Shang Ming looked at Meng Lianyi in disbelief.It's better to say stare than to say look!
"Why is it impossible?"

"In fact, you should have thought of this day long ago. I never do things that I am not sure about. Haven't you heard a saying? If you want to take it first, you must first give it. I gave you a few months to reflect, but you didn't People cherish opportunities. It’s okay, I can give you another chance, but you are so dazzled by money that you don’t know how to make good use of it. If that’s the case, why should I be polite?”

"But don't worry, I'm not a bloodthirsty person. As long as you truthfully hand over the silver taels that you have embezzled over the years, I can give you a lighter sentence!"

"You, you are simply disregarding human life!"

"We are all court officials. Without the emperor's will, you can't touch us. You are simply deceiving the emperor!"

"Really?" Meng Lianyi flicked her fingers indifferently, "It's better to take back what Mr. Shang said. Before he came down to the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor gave Shang Fang a sword, and he gave him the right to do things cheaply. You say, I take it Can't get you?"

"Actually, if I were you, I would kneel down and beg for mercy. In this way, even if you are dead, at least your family can survive."

"Oh, let me see, I must have overlooked something, haven't I?"

A bad premonition flashed in Shang Ming's heart, no, he hid it so secretly, he probably wouldn't know.

"Lin Feng, bring the things up!"

When Lin Feng walked in again, everyone's faces changed. It was their account books and roster for these years.

"You, how did you get here?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Shang, what should I tell you? I can only tell you that if you are too careful, you will be easily thieves. If you hide them in the mansion, I may not be able to find them. But you should never No, you shouldn't hide in other people's homes. Some people will tell others everything for money and life, don't you think?"

"Yanliu, did she tell you?"

Meng Lianyi shook her head sympathetically, "Maybe you don't know yet? She is not your only woman, behind your back, there seems to be one, two, three men outside of her?"

"No no no, Yanliu is not such a person, no, you must have lied to me, right?"

Meng Lianyi thought it was funny, "I didn't expect that our Lord Shang is also an infatuated person. It's a pity, your infatuation made a mistake!"

There were two "pops", and a woman walked in from outside, with a voluptuous figure and gorgeous makeup, one could tell that she was a stunner with just one glance.

"Yanliu has met your lord!"

"Please get up, tell Mr. Shang about your situation, I tell him, he doesn't believe it!"

Yanliu smiled sweetly and gave a slight blessing, "Sir Shang, what this lord said is not wrong at all, I handed over this account book. You have to think about me, I am just a little girl, all I want is to live That's all, who can save me alive, I will naturally listen to whom, don't you think so?"

"As for raising other people outside, it's true. Mr. Shang, you don't even look at how old you are. It's normal for me to raise a few little boys, isn't it?"

Shang Ming closed his eyes, that's all, he lost, he lost so thoroughly, and in the end he still fell on the woman.
