From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 776 Provoking Discord
The north wind whistling and snowflakes flying, the third room of the Mei family who moved to Qingyuan Hutong set up a mourning hall, and the white lanterns and white cloth strips hung outside the mourning hall were also blown by the wind.

Everything is sluggish in winter, and the newly moved house is even more deserted and decayed, as if it is not at all popular.

Mei Songming had two sons under his knees. Mei Guangjian and his younger brother Mei Yuchen knelt aside to guard the coffin, waiting for people who came to express their condolences and return the gifts.

Although Mei Guangjian was heartbroken by his father's death, he didn't complain. On the contrary, he clearly knew that he could only do this to protect the safety of the Mei family.Of course, it was his father who made a big mistake, otherwise no one would be able to escape or survive.

After all, he is older and the governor, but his younger brother Mei Yuchen doesn't think so.Seeing his father die with his own eyes, hatred filled his heart, he stared at the dark coffin and said, "Brother, father is dead, shall we just forget about it?"

No matter how wrong the father was, he was the father who gave birth to them. How could he remain indifferent when his father was forced to death.And his mother, who is crying to death in Gao's house right now, but the eldest brother and uncles don't let her come back.

Not only did he not let her come back, but he also locked her up, fearing that she would go to Mei Xin to take revenge and cause trouble in Prince Liang's mansion, and then reveal the collaborating with the enemy and treason, and even ordered people to guard her and watch her.

It's not that the Gao family understands righteousness or they are sensible, but collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime against the nine clans, and they will also be implicated if they are exposed.At that time, when the emperor was furious and buried thousands of miles away, their family would be in great trouble.

Because Mei Guangjian had been immersed in his own sadness, he didn't notice his younger brother's emotions. He suddenly heard his resentful tone, and his heart skipped a beat.Looking back at him abruptly, he frowned deeply and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Mei Yuchen didn't want to do anything, but he was unwilling and complained about the dead Mei Songming.Therefore, he gritted his teeth with an angry face and said: "Killer pays for his life and pays for his debt."

In an instant, stunned, Mei Guangjian glanced at the door in shock, moved his knees when he saw no one, and said in a low voice: "It's not that you weren't there when Dad died, and you're not a child anymore, black and white right or wrong you Should understand."

"I don't understand. I only know that our family was fine before she came back. After she came back, our family was ruined." His father died, and his mother couldn't return home. Miserable.Right now, it means that the father must be filial piety after his death, otherwise the elder sister will go to the Gao family to be a daughter-in-law.

With resentment in his heart, his voice raised involuntarily. Mei Guangjian was shocked, and covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Who told you these things, nonsense."

My father returned home before the year, and his collusion with the enemy and treason was not instigated by the eldest sister, so what does this have to do with her?
As for the mother, she insisted on sending her back to the Gao family, and it wasn't the eldest sister who was behind the tricks, so how could she blame her for this matter.

Mei Yuchen knew that he would react like this, so she stretched out her hand and pulled his hand away, saying: "We are all surrounded by her people, who dares to tell me, I thought of it myself. I am neither blind nor stupid, Can't I see it? Brother, don't be fooled by her anymore, people die in war, and if you go, you will die."

After Sanfang was kicked out, there were only a few children left, and when Mei Guangjian left, only his two sisters and him remained.The father passed away and the mother can't rely on it. What will they do in the future?Furthermore, this house is full of Mei Xin's people, it's really too easy to want their lives.

Mei Guangjian was not sure that these words were said to him by others, but after hearing these words, he was sure.Beckoning his followers to come in from Xiaoshan, he said: "The most important thing right now is to let father go to the ground and rest in peace. Let's talk about it after father's funeral is over. If you haven't slept all night, go down and rest for a while. Someone will come at noon. You can't cut people off, you have to be guarded."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Mei Xiaoshan, and then he said: "Send him back to rest first, and come back later."

Mei Xiaoshan is the son of Prince Liang's family. Although he is not much older than Mei Guangjian, he acts very calm and sophisticated.Therefore, Mei Xin specially transferred him.

Although the two brothers spoke in a low voice, he heard them all while standing at the door, said "yes" expressionlessly, and then followed Mei Yuchen away.

Not long after, Mei Guangjian called the chief steward of the mansion and asked him to arrest all the people around his brother for interrogation, to find out who was talking nonsense and sowing discord.

The butler of the third room was selected from the eight hundred soldiers of the Mei family, and she was also trained by Mei Xin in the last few months.Being able to manage the directors and command the guards can be said to have helped Mei Guangjian think everything through.

Knowing that this matter was serious, he first arrested people for interrogation and then passed the news to Mei Xin.Knowing Mei Guangjian's attitude towards this matter, Mei Xin said with a face of relief: "My hard work in the past few months is not in vain. Finally, there are still a few sensible people in this generation. Sanniang, there is still no one in Yongzhou." Any news?"

It's been several days, and I don't know if Zongzheng Mingzhen is really dead.

Sanniang didn't know how to answer, so she thought for a while and said, "The person who followed sent me the news, but I haven't found it yet. Don't worry, Major General. The Marquis of Zongzheng is good at martial arts, and he is with the Pavilion Master of Qingfeng Pavilion. Want to come here?" There will be no danger of life."

This is just her speculation, but his body has never been found, so there is a high chance of him being alive.

Mei Xin continued to write without saying a word, but because she couldn't calm down, the more she wrote, the more disturbed she became.

Seeing her frowning deeply, Sanniang brought chrysanthemum and red date tea and said, "Young General, Sanfang over there..."

"It's okay, let the teachers in the school teach you well in the future." After all, they are relatives, with Mei Guangjian in the middle, and don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, so let's ignore it for now.

Sanniang understood, and immediately said: "Zifu and the others have learned the rules well, and Grandma Sun said that they can come and serve them."

Yunluo followed the general, Luoqiu followed Mei Wanzhi to Zhuangzi, and she was going to leave with Mei Jinze in the morning of the day after tomorrow, so there was only a cardamom left by Mei Xin's side.Therefore, the secret guard was temporarily transferred to be a personal servant girl.

The dark guards have to abide by the rules of the dark guard camp, which is easier to train than ordinary girls.Therefore, Mei Xin was not surprised at all that they learned the rules from Nanny Sun in a short time.It was a little uncomfortable to put down the pen in her hand, she sat down with the armchair and said: "Call them in now if you have time."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, Mei Xin picked up the book of war and read it.

After a cup of tea, four women with cold faces came in.The appearance is ordinary but not ugly, and two of them are slightly older, about 24 or [-] years old.

Qi Qi knelt down, coincidentally, the four of them said in unison: "See Missy!"

Not the major general, not the eldest princess, but the eldest lady of the Mei family.

Mei Xin raised her hand to signal them to get up, and then they went out to report their names: "Slave Zifu, Slave Zixue, Slave Zishuang, Slave Ziyu, see Eldest Miss!"
