From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 164
Mei Xin felt that her lungs were about to explode, her fingers that were pinching the ledger turned white, and the veins on the back of her hand were bulging because of too much force.Her eyes were red and her pupils were like knives. She wished to cut Mei Gang in half and said word by word: "Do you know how much Yiying Hall costs for a year? Do you know how much a soldier's monthly silver is? Do you know how long the money will be spent if it is taken to Liangzhou and used on the children? Do you know that every tael of money in it is the life, blood, and scars of me, the general, and the prince? In exchange?"

At the end, her voice suddenly rose, and Mei Xin, in anger, slammed the account book in her hand at Mei Gang.

With Mei Gang's martial arts, he could dodge, but he didn't dare to dodge, not only did he not dare to dodge, he didn't even dare to move.So, with a bang, a bloody hole was smashed into the top of his head.

Blood flowed out and trembled in pain, Mei Gang couldn't help but yelled and stopped immediately.Not daring to beg for mercy, let alone open his mouth, Mei Gang clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the pain and hanging his head without speaking.

She still thought it was too late to pick up the teacup and wanted to hit him, but who knew that she had a dull pain in her lower abdomen in a hurry.Afraid of accidents, and even more afraid of fetal gas, Mei Xin put down the teacup she was holding and sat down slowly.She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. After a while, she told Yunying: "Pull him out to reconcile accounts with the accountant and Mei Zhong. After the reconciliation is clear, he will be locked up in the dungeon. Mei Zhong bought a house outside, and now you personally Take someone to ransack the house. The money he embezzled can make up for it. If it doesn’t make up, he will sell his whole family and sell it to the mine, and he will not be allowed to set foot in the capital for the rest of his life.”

I didn't want to take things to the extreme, but what they did was really too much, and their attitude was too arrogant.It is simply unreasonable for the guard to steal the knowledge and not report it, and to try to get away with it after the incident happened.

Shocked and terrified, Mei Gang suddenly raised his head to look at Mei Xin regardless of the bleeding wound.Seeing that she was cold-blooded, ruthless, and had no intention of letting their family go, he said: "Miss, I admit that I was wrong, I was greedy for life and afraid of death, but do you think I really didn't think about telling the general? Shangguan Xinrou is the concubine that the general Ming Mei is marrying. The one who has an affair with her is not someone else, but the emperor's own brother. It is King Chu Huai. King Chu Huai is not an idle prince, he has real power in his hands. Yes, the general is a heavy soldier , is a great achievement in battle, but who is more important between a courtier and a brother, and who will the emperor favor..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei Xin couldn't listen anymore, she opened her eyes wide and glared and said sharply: "I don't know who the emperor will favor, but I know that by doing this, you are covering up Shangguan Xinrou, covering up for her, and helping her. Transferring the wealth of Prince Liang’s Mansion. My Mei family has never treated the soldiers under my command badly since I followed Taizu to fight the world. Orphans lived on the street and suffered from cold and hunger. My Mei family built Yiyingtang. You also came out of Yiyingtang. You should know how difficult it is to maintain Yiyingtang, how much effort and how much money it takes to raise and teach children to become talents .”

"One million taels of silver, not one tael or one hundred taels, but nearly one million taels of silver, yet you didn't even say a word. I knew it today. If I didn't know, are you going to keep it a secret for them? Go down?" You don't need to ask Mei Xin to know that he will, because if he exposes Shangguan Xinrou, she will not die in her previous life, let alone know the truth before she dies.

Every account on the account book was recorded by Mei Gang himself, how could he not know that it was 100 million taels of silver.But what can he do, he can't say anything, he can't do anything.

Shaking his head violently with tears streaming down his face, Mei Gang flatly denied it: "No, no, I was planning to tell the general this time when he came back. Miss, you are still young, you have never been in the capital, and there is no I don’t know how powerful this is. No matter how hateful Shangguan Xinrou is, she should be killed. She is your biological mother. She stole people behind her husband’s back. Once this matter gets out, it will implicate you. You are not yet married. With such a mother, Who will dare to marry you in the future. And the ladies in this mansion, how will they marry in the future?"

"The Mei family has been loyal and brave for generations, and the great general's reputation must not be destroyed because of her. People say that they are more powerful than anything since ancient times. I am the Mei family army, and the general is mine. Benefactor, I can't do things that are not good for the general or the Mei family."

In fact, some things are better not to know than to know, not to mention that Mei Zhannan has not been in the capital for many years, and he doesn't like Shangguan Xinrou either.It is better not to know than to be entangled in knowing this matter.

In an instant, Mei Xin laughed angrily, snorted coldly and said, "So I still have to thank you?"

Mei Gang is not a fool, when he heard these words, he was full of murderous intent and hurriedly said: "I dare not, I just tell the truth. Miss, the capital city is different from Liangzhou, the girls here are very famous. And you already It's time to get married, and we must not expose this matter at this juncture, Miss..."

"Pretentious words, nonsense! My Mei family's reputation of loyalty and bravery was paid for by the blood and lives of my ancestors, and my father's first life's reputation cannot be destroyed by her Shangguan Xinrou. The world is black and white, fair and free, and she is the one who steals people. It's not my father who stole people, and no one would dare to say that it was my father's fault when this matter spread. So, stop talking nonsense here to confuse people."

Mei Xin was furious, turned to look at Yunying and ordered: "Drag him out immediately, and put all his family members in the dungeon to wait for punishment. He is not allowed to die, and if he dares to harm himself, all his family members will be buried with him."

Originally, I wanted to save his life, but I never thought that I would not repent now, let alone think that I was at fault.Talking nonsense in order to survive is simply insulting the reputation of the Mei family army.

Yunying's face turned livid when he heard the 100 million taels of silver, and he was also extremely angry. He threw the child in his hand to Wang Geng, then grabbed Mei Gang's clothes and dragged him out.

As soon as the person left, Su Yu'an quickly poured water for Mei Xin, brought it directly in front of her, and said, "Sister, calm down and drink some water. It's not worth getting angry about this kind of person, and it's even worse if you get angry at yourself anyway." Well worth it."

Little Six bent down and picked up the ledger on the ground, looked at it, put it on Mei Xin's desk and said, "I heard that the biggest casino in the capital is owned by King Huai of Chu. I wonder if it's true?"

Mei Xin sat up straight as her eyes lit up, seeing that the corners of his lips raised seemed to have some good plan, she took the teacup in her hand and said, "Yes, the real boss is him."
