A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 804 Catastrophe is imminent
Seeing this, the guard quickly used his saber scabbard to hold the shackles on his body, and shouted: "What are you doing! There is no way back, and you still want to disobey orders?!"

Tang Lei fell to the ground and fell to the ground, clutching the letter paper tightly in his hand, and said incoherently: "It's him...it's him! The surname is Nie! I want to go back and find him! Then the truth can be revealed It's gone!" He looked at the shadow that was so far away that there was only a black spot left, and shouted hoarsely, "Don't go... come back! Who are you! Nie, who are you!"

He was like crazy, two guards picked him up from the ground, and he said to them: "I was wronged, I was wronged!"

"Let's go, it's too late to complain now!"

Two guards grabbed him and continued to move forward.

Tang Lei is sure that this letter must have been written by the person surnamed Nie. The tone of the letter is exactly the same, and the address is also exactly the same. He pretended to care about him, and said that he would leave Beijing soon and follow his father to do business elsewhere. , The mountains are high and the water is far away, I don't know when we can meet again.

Finally, there is a clue about the person surnamed Nie. As long as he is caught, the truth will be revealed, and he will be able to wash away his grievances. There is no need to go to the frontier again. How can he give up!
Tang Lei struggled desperately, he didn't want to go to the border without knowing why, he had to go back and find out!He must catch that Nie and tear him into pieces!

So right now, he has to catch up with the man on horseback to find out where Nie is. Tang Lei has only one thought, to catch up with him.

So he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two guards, threw them away with his own shackles, and ran forward with all his strength.

The two guards stumbled and couldn't help becoming angry. They got up and chased after them.

Tang Lei was kicked to the ground from behind by the guard. He fought hard and attacked the guard. In this case, the guard has the right to kill him directly.

An officer was hit in the face by Tang Lei with a chain and fell to the ground. He was furious, and when he got up, he pulled out his saber and walked towards Tang Lei in two steps.Tang Lei was still fighting, how could he think that a gleaming knife suddenly pierced his chest from behind, stabbing him with chills.

His eyes widened, veins floated on his forehead, and there was a final look of extreme resignation on his face.

When he fell to the ground, Tang Lei clutched his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "I was... wronged."

With his death, the truth of the matter was completely buried.

The two guards looked at each other panting heavily.Now it's all right, the person they were ordered to send to the army died, so they don't have to travel all the way here, it saves everyone trouble.

There were bruises from the shackles and chains on the two of them, and there were signs of fighting at the scene, and the guards were able to hand over them smoothly.

***
The emperor was sitting in front of the imperial table, holding a gold bar in his hand, looking back and forth, seeing a few small words on the bottom of the gold bar, while identifying them, he said: "Where did you get this gold bar?"

The official below replied: "The minister has already strictly interrogated, it seems that when Qing Guogong was imprisoned, someone came to manage it."

The emperor looked at the official, and he immediately replied, "The person who went to do the check is the daughter of Duke Qing."

"Daughter of Duke Qing?"

At this time, Eunuch Huang brought a military officer with him and reported at the door: "Master Wang has something to see."

The emperor put down the gold bar, waved and said, "Come in."

After the military officer entered the imperial study, he clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "My Majesty, Tang Lei, the son of Duke Qing, was supposed to be dispatched to the frontier by the Emperor's order, but on the way, he insisted on returning to Beijing and attacked Tolerance, Tolerant was helpless." Under the circumstances, it had to be killed."

The emperor asked: "Have you checked it?"

The military officer said: "My minister has verified it to be true."

The emperor waved him off.

He wanted to keep Duke Qing's blood, but he didn't appreciate it, and openly resisted the attack, what could he do?
Tang Lei's life is worthless, if it's gone, it's gone.Compared with the current situation where someone bribes with gold bars, it is nothing worth mentioning.

***
It has been several days since the Tang corps settled the affairs of Duke Qing's death.

In the afternoon of this day, she received the news that Tang Lei was killed while resisting on the way to distribution. Right now, the body is being transported back, and she will be notified to claim it after arriving at the yamen.

As the bad news came one by one, Tang Corporation became more or less numb.

However, immediately after that night, officers and soldiers raised torches and surrounded the Meng Mansion.

The official of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was ordered by the emperor to search the Meng Mansion.

Neither Meng Yunxiao nor Tang's knew what happened.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers found the remaining half of the gold bars in Meng Yunxiao's study that Meng Yunxiao suddenly had the feeling that disaster was imminent.

Tang and Meng Yunxiao were escorted to kneel on the ground, and several servants shrank and knelt on the ground.

Tang's half of the gold bars have already been sorted, but Meng Yunxiao's half has not been touched.The official of the Ministry of Punishment picked up a gold bar and looked at it, then looked at Meng Yunxiao, and said, "Master Meng is so courageous, how dare you accept a bribe from an envoy from the Kingdom of Lang."

Meng Yunxiao hurriedly explained: "My lord may have misunderstood, this is not sent by the envoy of the Lang Kingdom."

"Then where did this come from?" the official of the Criminal Ministry asked.

"Yes..." Meng Yunxiao swallowed, "It was picked up by the lower officials in the wine shop."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the two officers and soldiers led the team couldn't help laughing.

The official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said: "Master Meng is so lucky that you can find such a bag of gold bars when you pick it up casually. You can pick up another bag and let me have a look?" Then he looked stern, and said, " The name of Lang Kingdom is clearly engraved on this gold bar, you still dare to quibble even now!"

"What country name? Why doesn't the lower official know..."

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment showed him the bottom of the gold bar, and the small characters on the bottom were clearly displayed in front of his eyes under the firelight, which shocked Meng Yunxiao to the point of fainting.

After he brought the gold bar back, he didn't find that the bottom of the gold bar was engraved with words.As for Tang, a woman, even after seeing the small characters, she didn't know that it was the name of the country of Lang.

Meng Yunxiao's three souls were scattered, and he collapsed on the ground. In the end, he and Tang were arrested by the officers and soldiers and brought back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to await trial.

When Meng Yunxiao was sitting in prison, thinking carefully about the cause and effect of the whole incident, he realized that he might have fallen into someone else's trap.

The vast majority of people in the world will have greed, let alone someone like Meng Yunxiao who is obsessed and eager to change his status quo.

When he saw that the bag was full of gold bars, he immediately imagined many possibilities of using these gold bars, and his instinct drove him to take the gold bars home immediately.

Except for the half that was distributed to Tang, he kept the other half hidden all the time, as if afraid of being discovered by others, and even he himself cautiously did not take it out to look at it again.He originally wanted to wait for the affairs of the Duke's Mansion to pass and everything to calm down before taking it out for use.

In the end, he was also lucky to pick it up, but not to enjoy it.
