Gao Yang was so excited that he danced with his hands, and the chains on his body rattled, "Yes, you hired me to kill people, this time I can find evidence, you are the Dragon King's subordinate, right?"

Duan Zihua shook his head indifferently, "No." ”

Meng Mingshu hadn't seen the bad omen from this simple answer, and explained loudly for the old servant: "He is a member of my family, he was coerced by the Dragon King, and he stole the property of the Meng family, and he has been doing things for the Dragon King since then. Duan Zihua, tell everyone the truth. ”

Duan Zihua turned around, knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the little master.

Meng Mingshu was confused, "Duan Zihua, get up and speak, don't you have a conscience to find out and return to the old master? Aren't you worried that the Dragon King will kill you? With the protector of the Western Regions, no one dares to touch you." ”

Pang Jing looked around, showing a stunned smile, as if Meng Mingshu had told a big joke, and there was no one in the room who was not good at observing words and feelings, and at this time they all had a premonition and knew which one would be unlucky.

Meng Mingshu didn't see the expression of the Metropolitan Protector, so he still urged the old family with confidence, "Duan Zihua, the prosperity of the Meng family depends on you." ”

Duan Zihua got up again, took two steps back, his expression was natural, his voice was loud, and he left his responsibility for the Meng family on the previous two kneeling, "Family master, I am old and young, I really can't help you deceive people anymore, the dragon king didn't rob the Meng family's property, no one robbed the Meng family's property, all the gold and silver were hidden by you in the old mansion of the Meng Mansion, and they didn't move." ”

There was silence in the lobby, and everyone understood that their casual words at the moment, or even a look, could bring unpredictable serious consequences, and the best option was to play dumb until the situation became clear.

"Haha. Gao Yang laughed, the room full of people was like statues, it was really funny, "Nonsense, everyone knows that the Meng family's money is in the hands of the Dragon King, didn't Wu Xuan get the gold nuggets from the Dragon King?"

Duan Zihua deliberately avoided the gaze of the head of the family, and said: "I stuffed the gold nugget into Wu Xuan's hands, the purpose is to attract everyone's attention, and then frame it for the Dragon King, this is Meng Mingshu's idea, I ......"

His name came out of the servant's mouth, Meng Mingshu seemed to have been punched, and finally came to his senses, he fell into a huge trap, but he didn't know who set it, he bet everything, but he lost cleanly, and pounced on Duan Zihua, "Cheap slave, you calculate me! Dragon King, you ...... with the Dragon King"

Duan Zihua had already prepared, stepped back, and said very quickly: "At that time, the old family master had just died, and you were afraid that your own position was unstable and you had to divide the property with other clansmen, so you single-handedly created the illusion of robbery, everyone said that it was robbed by the dragon king, and the dragon king did not refute it, and you were happy to have someone take responsibility." But you can't stand the suffering, anyway, the family has already been divided, and you are in a hurry to take out all the property, so it is justified to blame the dragon king again......"

For those who have a bright eye, the situation is clear enough, so four or five people stepped forward to hold Meng Mingshu together, on the surface, they were kind enough to persuade him, but in fact, they restrained him, and even didn't let him speak, Duan Zihua was unrestrained.

The old servant of the Meng family announced the "truth of the conspiracy", but to everyone's ears, this passage seemed to be specially whitewashed for the Dragon King.

The more Meng Mingshu listened, the more angry he became, and he suddenly gave birth to a surge of strength, and actually broke free from the arms of several people, "I'll kill you......" The back of the waist was suddenly hit with a real blow, Meng Mingshu fell to the ground with his head, foaming at the mouth, and could no longer speak.

There was chaos in the lobby, Pang Jing stood up and said loudly: "Quiet, quiet, listen to me, things have come to this point...... It's really unexpected, I believed in the Dragon King from the beginning, but this Duan Zihua or something, what he said is really incredible, it's hard to believe. ”

"Didn't he say that the Meng family's money was still in place? Someone shouted, believing that his advice would never be wrong.

Pang Jing glanced at the Dragon King unnaturally and asked Duan Zihua, "The Meng family's money has not been touched?"

"Exactly. ”

"That's not right, although I came late, I also heard that when the Meng family was divided, the second son of Meng got the Bodhi Garden, and the old mansion and the treasury were left to the grandmother, isn't it?"

"The trick of hiding people's eyes, Meng Mingshu has quietly bought the old mansion back in someone else's name. ”

"Go to Meng's house!"

"Go to the old mansion!"

......

The crowd is turbulent, everyone enters their own role, but the most important party, the Dragon King, is indifferent, his role is the simplest, is to quietly accept everything on the scene, as long as he does not deny it, even if he cooperates with Pang Jing's plan.

So far, Pang Jingdu seems to be a fair businessman, taking advantage of the reputation of the Dragon King, but also giving him corresponding compensation.

The rumor that Duan Zihua was instructed by the Dragon King to frame the head of the family is indispensable, this is the price that the Dragon King has to pay, anyway, he already has a reputation for robbing money, this rumor is insignificant.

However, Meng Mingshu failed to make a bet and lost all his "family property" to the Dragon King, which was regarded as a gift from the Protector to the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei knew that he would eventually have to give half of it to Pang Jing as agreed.

I don't know who led the way, dozens of people walked out one after another, and even Meng Mingshu, who fainted on the ground, was dragged forward by several people.

When Zhang Ji passed by Gu Shenwei's side, he said, "Good deal, huh?"

Shangguan Ru didn't move, his eyes were full of surprise, as if there was still a hint of reproach, and the lotus girl didn't move, her expression was as indifferent as ever.

Gu Shenwei followed behind everyone and walked out of the gate of the mansion, Chu Nanping got on his horse and left in a hurry, Xu Xiaoyi greeted him and took over as the retinue of the Dragon King, this small change did not attract anyone's attention.

Coupled with the large number of attendants and guards waiting outside, the crowd immediately expanded to hundreds, and it took a while of panic before the order was discharged, the soldiers opened the way, Pang Jing and the Dragon King took the lead, and the team rushed towards the Meng family's old mansion.

Less than two streets had passed the procession, and the news had spread rapidly, and the crowds of people had arrived, all stopped by the soldiers, and only the tail of the procession could be seen in the distance, which had provided enough talking point that the excited inhabitants even threw aside the principle of prudence and talked in the streets with people they knew and did not know, as if they had seen everything firsthand.

This was the heyday of the rise of rumors, and it was also the stage when the ears were unstable and easy to manipulate, and more than fifty "well-informed people" were evenly distributed in the north and south cities, and soon gained a dominant position, controlling the trend of most rumors.

Such a thing, again, went unnoticed.

The old mansion of the Meng family was indeed sold, the buyer was a mysterious foreigner, and the cost was not large, and the old grandmother of the Meng family felt that she still had many years to live, so she was in a hurry to move away from the place of right and wrong, and the whole family was busy packing up her things at this time.

The rumors were one step ahead of the team that came to find evidence, and the old lady, who had not walked by for many years, heard the news, and miraculously stood up and trotted all the way, and the girls behind her were out of breath before they could barely follow.

The treasury was in the back garden, and the steward hurriedly took out the key, his heart full of doubts, "Ancestor, it's empty inside......"

The old lady spat on the steward's face, "You also lied to me with unfilial piety Meng Er?"

The three gates were opened one by one, and the huge stone storehouse was empty, and the afternoon sun did not diminish the gloom inside.

The old lady was the first to rush in, stomping her feet and knocking on the wall, and found that a person was alone, and shouted eagerly: "Quick, let's find the secret door together, the property of the Meng family cannot be snatched away by outsiders! ”

The team composed of "outsiders" was unstoppable, and Meng Mingshu, who had come to his senses, had a little effect, surrounded by more than 100 soldiers, breaking through the half-hearted defense line at the gate of the old mansion and breaking into the back garden all the way.

Pang Jing did not rush to the front in a hurry, but pulled the Dragon King to stand outside, enjoying the farce he had single-handedly promoted: the old lady's cry and Meng Mingshu's nonsense were drowned in the accusations of many leading figures in Biyu City.

"The Dragon King thinks it's a little interesting, right?" Pang Jing asked in a low voice, he felt that he was safe, and he didn't let Luo Qikang follow him anymore.

"Well, but I'd rather know sooner. ”

"Hehe, just kidding, anyway, it's harmless to the Dragon King, and the property of the Meng family is about to belong to you......"

"Half of them belong to the Metropolitan Protector. ”

"Ah, I really like it here, I am free, and I don't have to hide my words, by the way, that Xiao Fengchai is a good woman, the Dragon King won't punish her because of me, right?" Pang Jing blinked, his expression only made Xiao Fengchai more dangerous.

"Just let me sell it too. Gu Shenwei said.

Pang Jing laughed, he didn't plead for Xiao Fengchai anymore, he was not in the mood to care about the life and death of a girl.

"Found it! Found it!" There was a series of cheers from the warehouse, and the leader of a trading house ran out with a red face, preemptively reporting the good news, "It turned out to be hidden in the ground, the gold nuggets are like mountains, and they haven't been touched at all, Meng Mingshu is really framing the Dragon King, this kid is really bold." Dragon King, these things are yours, quickly order to protect them, the old lady of the Meng family wants to grab it like a madman. ”

The soldiers of the Central Plains have already guarded the warehouse, using both soft and hard, blasting out all the irrelevant people, the old lady of the Meng family still does not give up, she collapsed on the ground and cried loudly, and wanted to rush to Pang Jing, the protector of the Western Regions, several times, but was blocked by the soldiers, Meng Mingshu stood aside in despair, and the people around him were all guarding against his anger, but he had lost his fighting spirit, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word.

Gu Shenwei felt that it was almost over, and nodded at Xu Xiaoyi.

Xu Xiaoyi announced loudly: "Be quiet, the Dragon King has something to say." ”

"The truth is revealed. Gu Shenwei said, thinking of Zhong Heng's famous saying "Solving the problem and discovering the truth are two different things", yes, the relationship between the two is even weaker than the family affection of the Meng family, "The matter ends here, I have no intention of continuing to investigate." Since the money in the treasury belongs to me, I will arrange for it: I will donate half of it to the Protector of the Western Regions, because he is impartial and impartial. ”

Pang Jing's face changed, he didn't expect the Dragon King to give him the money in public, without waiting for him to react, nor waiting for everyone present to add fuel to the trouble, the Dragon King continued: "I will leave the remaining half to the Meng family, although he is confused for a while and wants to frame me, but I forgive him, and I want to tell me that I am not interested in the property of the Meng family." ”

Gu Shenwei walked out, his back was about to disappear, and the hustle and bustle of everyone broke out, Pang Jing was stunned, and the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger.

A Central Plains officer rode into the garden, and as soon as he saw the protector, he shouted, "Beiting people...... Overseer...... Moe is back. ”

Except for Pang Jing, no one knows the true meaning of this news.
