Cao Meng has indeed been in a bad mood recently, and since entering Nanjing, his mood has become even worse. Zheng Chenggong is obviously targeting him everywhere, and no one around him is willing to help him. His situation is very embarrassing.
And he is even more sure of one thing, that is, this Zheng Chenggong is definitely a fake. The real Zheng Chenggong cannot be so indifferent in the face of such a big reward. Even if his family has a little money, it will not be enough.
To the extent that his family was extremely wealthy and could rival the country, it was even more impossible for him to go against the emperor Mingzhu over this matter.
You know, what good fruit can he get if he offends the emperor? But what is strange is the attitude of the emperor. Not only the emperor, but also the eunuch Wang Chengen, they all treated him with excessive respect and politeness.
If he was Zheng Chenggong, just an ordinary refugee grass bandit, how could he be so respected by the emperor and the eunuch chief? The only possibility is that his identity is by no means that simple, and the current Zheng Chenggong is probably just a fake
His name was just to fool people like them who trusted Boss Zheng.
If this is really the case, then where is the real Boss Zheng? Has he been poisoned by him? That must be the case. Besides him, there is Zeng De. He also wonders how the boss suddenly suddenly
Trusting Zeng De so much, it turned out that they teamed up to kill the real Boss Zheng!
He hated it, hated himself for not being able to reveal the true colors of the two villains earlier, allowing them to kill Boss Zheng, and leading these ignorant brothers to Nanjing to serve as cannon fodder.
It's also because they hid it too deeply. They tried it openly and covertly so many times, but they fooled them over and over again. This made all the stupid brothers feel very sorry for Boss Zheng.
No, he must reveal the true face of this villain! Because he was holding his breath, and because of this idea, Cao Meng has been quietly following Zheng Chenggong for several days, trying to grasp his whereabouts and learn his true identity.
.
Until one day, Zheng Chenggong suddenly got up in the middle of the night and quietly went to the Imperial Garden alone. Cao Meng, who had been secretly observing his movements, immediately got up and followed him.
As a result, in the imperial garden, he saw a scene that he would never forget! The normally aloof eunuch chief was kneeling in front of Zheng Chenggong with a begging look on his face, as if begging him to let someone go.
He listened carefully for a long time and deduced a fact that was horrifying to think about! The emperor they saw before was not the real emperor at all. The man in front of them who had been pretending to be Zheng Chenggong was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called emperor was just a
Substitute, if this is really the case, it makes sense. How could a substitute dare to disrespect the real owner?
And this chief eunuch was nothing more than someone Zheng Chenggong placed next to his substitute to monitor him. What’s funny is, maybe because they had been together for a long time, this eunuch couldn’t bear to hurt the substitute, and even begged the real emperor for him.
This villain has always had a cold-blooded heart. How could he let the substitute go just because of a few words from a eunuch? He would still find someone to get rid of him.
Cao Meng touched his chin and suddenly felt that an opportunity had come! Isn't it the best time to find allies? The substitute was in danger of being burned down, so coming to him at this time was a life-saving straw for him.
, how could he ignore it?
Cooperating with him can not only save one's own life, but also expose the true face of this hypocrite. When the time comes, Zheng Chenggong and his friends know that this person is their enemy, and they will pounce on him and tear him apart without anyone having to say anything.
Broken!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was feasible. After sneaking back secretly, he could hardly sleep all night, thinking about what reasons he should give to see the substitute.
After a day, he decided to tell the truth straight to the point. He must also know that he is in danger now, and he will definitely welcome the allies who come to his door.
Cao Meng was completely immersed in his imagination, and he didn't even carefully investigate what kind of strength the substitute in his eyes had.
Lin Chong rarely caught Yuan Qingfang's free time and had a "close" mental and physical communication with her, but was interrupted by a series of notifications.
He ignored him several times in a row until Mu Xi knocked on the door himself: "Master, it's not an option for us to keep knocking on the door like this. Why don't you get up and deal with this matter first? I think it's quite important.
."
Lin Chong sat up dejectedly, walked out angrily and slammed the door. There was a look of dissatisfaction in his words and deeds, and even his voice was vicious: "It's best if you really have something to say about this matter."
It’s so important, otherwise you’ll have to clean my hut for a month.”
Mu Xi shrugged and was about to say that cleaning the latrine for a month was nothing, when she heard Lin Chong add darkly: "I mean using my hands..."
Mu Xi: Ugh...
How could someone be so disgusting, and this person is still his young master? Can anyone tell him, is it too late for him to choose a new master now?
After successfully making Mu Xi's face darken, Lin Chong finally felt a little better. He walked leisurely to the imperial study, and while walking, he asked Mu Xi, who was following him with a black line on his face: "What's going on?
?You are as anxious as if your parents are here."
Mu Xi:…
"Stop joking, okay...my parents have been dead for many years..." The black line on Mu Xi's forehead became thicker. I really don't know how the young master's head grew like this. It seems that he is born with no need to worry.
Playing with Mu Xi whenever he has nothing to do has become Lin Chong's best pastime after dinner every day, even more than going to the night market to visit the food stalls. This shows how much Mu Xi occupies an unshakable position in his boring life!
"Master, the person who comes to see you is a guy named Cao Meng who works with Zheng Chenggong."
"Do you have any impression of him?" Lin Chong thought about it carefully. He really didn't remember that there was such a person around Zheng Chenggong.
"A deer with a head and a rat's eyes is definitely not a good person." Mu Xi simply and clearly summarized his impression of Cao Meng in eight words.
Lin Chong made an "ok" gesture: "Okay, I understand, he is an unreliable scumbag, right? I didn't expect that Zheng Chenggong also has such a scoundrel in his team. Do you think I should kindly remind him?
?" Lin Chong fell into deep thought.
Mu Xi thought for a moment, then reminded Lin Chong: "I am here to seek refuge with you, so it seems a bit inappropriate to do so."
Lin Chong snorted softly: "Come to seek refuge with me? If he hadn't been desperate, he probably wouldn't have sought refuge with me. Let's go and hear what this villain who wants to seek refuge with me knows."
