With a bang, the door closed. The Meng family's mansion itself was very vast, and there were no other buildings around it at all.
Now that Wang Hai and others entered the mansion directly, they did not alert anyone else. Now that the door was closed from the inside, even if there was a commotion in the mansion, few people would be able to notice it.
Wang Hai wiped the blood on his face, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Kill me, no chickens or dogs left!"
Not mentioning the bloody killings in the Meng Mansion, but mentioning that Meng Ping and his officials went to the Winter Garden to pay a visit to Chu Yi.
In the winter garden, Chu Yi, who was having a conversation with Xu Bang, glanced outside the hall and saw Meng Ping in military uniform standing at the door with his head lowered.
Xu Bang looked at Meng Ping in surprise and exclaimed just now. Obviously he did not expect that it would be Meng Ping who came instead of Meng Yi.
However, Xu Bang didn't say anything at this moment. Since it was Meng Ping who came, there must be a reason. As for the reason, he had to ask Meng Ping.
At this moment, Chu Yi had already spoken, and Meng Ping walked into the hall with his head lowered. He saluted Chu Yi and Xu Bang with great respect, and then said: "Common man Meng Ping, I have paid my respects to His Highness, and I have met the prefect!"
Xu Bang glanced at Chu Yi first, then coughed slightly and looked at Meng Ping and said: "Meng Ping, I would like to ask you, where is your father Meng Yi?"
Meng Ping's face showed a bit of sadness, he lay on the ground and cried: "Sir, you have to make the decision for our Meng family!"
Meng Ping suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly, but Xu Bang was stunned for a moment and looked at Meng Ping in confusion. Chu Yi looked at Meng Ping with interest, without any intention of speaking. It seemed that
Leave it to Xu Bang to deal with Meng Ping.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Bang snorted coldly and said: "How can you cry and cry? What's going on? Why don't you tell me quickly!"
Meng Ping lay there and lamented: "My father was beheaded to death yesterday by an unknown person. I would like to ask you to find the murderer so that my father can rest in peace."
Xu Bang couldn't help but froze when he heard this. He looked at Meng Ping in astonishment and said in shock: "What, you said that your father was actually killed?"
Meng Ping nodded and said: "Every word of the common people is true, how dare you deceive the adults!"
At this moment, Chu Yi gently tapped the table with one hand and said: "Meng Ping, I would like to ask you, did your father go out today? Did you see anyone? Waiting for you to find out that your father was killed.
At that time, where is your father’s body?”
A series of questions made Meng Ping's heart jump. However, Meng Ping had already prepared a response in his mind, so he went to see Meng Ping and said, "Reporting to the prince, my father has been in the mansion today. He has not gone out and has not seen any outsiders. The common people found out.
When my father's body was found, he was in the study room."
Before Meng Ping could finish what he said, Lin Pingzhi, who was standing aside, sneered and said, "You are a bold maniac who dares to talk nonsense in front of the prince. Do you know your guilt?"
Meng Ping shivered, his face full of fear, and he glanced at Lin Pingzhi subconsciously and said: "Why did this gentleman say this? The common people don't understand?"
Chu Yi looked at Meng Ping with a smile but not a smile. He threw it away and saw a piece of paper falling in front of Meng Ping. It clearly recorded when Meng Yi left the house and when he was brought back to his body by his loyal servants.
things.
Seeing the record on the paper, Meng Ping swayed, his eyes filled with disbelief and he almost fainted.
Obviously, Meng Ping never thought that his father's whereabouts would be known clearly. He originally wanted to use the help of the imperial court to avenge his father, but now it seems that he made a miscalculation.
Xu Bang didn't know this. After all, only Lin Pingzhi and Chu Yi had seen Jin Yiwei's secret performance, so Xu Bang was just curious about why Meng Ping had such a big reaction.
Lin Pingzhi sneered and stared at Meng Ping and said: "Meng Ping, do you still dare to say that your father died in the mansion? Did you harm your father? Why don't you punish him for it!"
Meng Ping was stunned, his face became extremely pale, and he said repeatedly: "It's unfair, sir, it's unfair. I did hide something, but my father was really killed by a gangster!"
Lin Ping took a step forward, looked down at Meng Ping with an awe-inspiring look and shouted: "Why don't you quickly explain why your father went out today, and who killed him."
As he spoke, Lin Pingzhi used the hypnotic technique recorded in the Nine Yin Manual.
It is not surprising that Lin Pingzhi can perform the hypnotic technique in the Nine Yin Manual. After all, Chu Yi once obtained the Nine Yin Fragments, which contains the mind-obsessing technique in the Nine Yin Manual.
Naturally, this secret technique was not of much use to those who were determined, so Chu Yi didn't pay too much attention to it and passed it on to Lin Pingzhi.
Now, while Meng Ping was in confusion, Lin Pingzhi seized the opportunity. He saw that Meng Ping's eyes were dull, and he couldn't help but say in a trance: "My father went to the port at the invitation of the mysterious man. It seemed that he was going to see the Overlord of Kouhai. At home,
My loyal servant has said that my father died at the hands of the overlord of the sea, Wang Hai."
A flash of light flashed in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, his heart moved, and he asked with some excitement: "Is your father dissatisfied with His Highness?"
Now listening to Lin Pingzhi's questions and looking at Meng Ping's reaction, Xu Bang, who was sitting next to him, turned pale and fidgeted, which showed how scared he was in his heart.
At this moment, no matter how slow Xu Bang reacted, he realized that something seemed not quite right with Meng. Especially seeing Lin Pingzhi's posture, he couldn't help but think too much.
Not long ago, a major assassination of Chu occurred in the port, followed by the news of Meng Yi's murder, and now Meng Ping even revealed that Wang Han, the King of the Sea, had been killed.
"My father once said that the eunuch Chu Yi brought disaster to the country and the people. If he is not killed, the people will not be angry."
With a bang, Xu Bang, who was sitting there, couldn't help but drop the teacup in his hand to the ground. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Meng Ping with a look of horror.
As the tea cup shattered, Meng Ping, who had dull eyes, suddenly woke up. It seemed that he realized what he had just said. Meng Ping's face turned pale and his whole body collapsed on the ground.
.
Meng Pingyuan originally thought that he could take revenge from the government and remove Wang Han from his own father.
To be honest, even if Meng Ping didn't know everything about the things that Meng Yi did, he knew about it. After all, although the head of the Meng family was said to be Meng Yi, it was Meng Ping who was in power. Some things were simply bypassed.
Not to mention Meng Ping, but Meng Yi was involved in teaming up with others to assassinate Chu Yi, while Meng Ping knew about it but was not involved in it.
"You guys"
The one who was shocked was the prefect Xu Bang. Xu Bang never dreamed that the good man Meng Yi, whom he specially recommended to Chu Yi, would be one of the people who planned to assassinate Chu Yi.
At this time, Xu Bang had already realized that Meng Yi was obviously one of the participants in the recent assassination of Chu, and Xu Bang already knew the identity of the Meng family.
There are definitely many people in this world who want to tear Chu Yi into pieces, but there are not many who hate Chu Yi and have the ability to put it into action. The most likely among them are those who are motivated by the plan to open the sea.
And the maritime merchants lost a lot of profits.
Previously, a major case involving maritime merchants colluding with Japanese pirates to destroy the Huating City Shipping Company was revealed. I thought that after that major case, these maritime merchants would live in peace. Unexpectedly, it has only been a year, and there are still people who do not know whether to live or die.
To deal with Chu Yi.
The most important thing is that the Meng family, as the most philanthropic family in the area, turned out to be a maritime merchant, and was also involved in the assassination of Chu Yi. So wouldn't he, the prefect who strongly recommended the Meng family, be in trouble?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it is a crime to be a subordinate!"
Facing Chu Yi at this moment, all Xu Bang could do was to lie down and beg for mercy. If Chu Yi wanted to punish him, he could have been accused of being an assassin's ally. No one would dare to defend him.
, it can even be said that he himself cannot prove his innocence.
Chu Yi just glanced at Xu Bang. Just how powerful Jin Yiwei was was evident from the fact that he was able to trace Meng Yi's whereabouts in such a short period of time.
Of course, this is also because the Meng family is too famous in Shanghai County. As the largest family in the county, the Meng family will naturally be watched by the Jin Yiwei.
In particular, the Meng family has been paving roads, building bridges, and donating soup and porridge in the city for more than ten years. They have the image of a great benevolent person. For such a famous family, it would be strange if the Jin Yiwei didn't keep an eye on it.
Now that it has entered Jin Yiwei's sight, it is conceivable that as long as Jin Yiwei is willing, too private information may not be found, but such as Meng Yi's whereabouts, it cannot be easier.
If it weren't for the news from Jinyiwei that Xu Bang's relationship with the Meng family was not deep, Xu Bang would have been captured by now.
Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath and turned to Chu Yi and said: "Your Highness, the Meng family colluded with others to assassinate Your Highness. They deserve to be punished. Please order Your Highness to arrest the entire Meng family."
With Meng as a breakthrough point, Lin Pingzhi felt that it was only a matter of time before he wanted to arrest Chu Yi's murderer.
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Bang who was sweating coldly and said: "Xu Bang!"
Xu Bang trembled, and said with a bit of fear and uneasiness: "I'm here, your highness. What are your orders?"
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Bang and said: "Xu Bang, you don't know people well, and you actually arranged for me to be in the assassin's lair."
"Your Highness, I have been wronged. I really didn't know that the Meng family had evil intentions towards Your Highness. If I had known earlier, I would have wiped out the Meng family, and I would never have given the Meng family any chance."
"Then you can lead the people there in person and destroy the entire Meng family for me!"
