Southerners

Chapter 126 Bustard Feather 2

Meng Huan frowned and said: "He is always like this, only caring about others, never caring about himself."

Don't even care about me.

Meng Huan didn't say the last sentence, he sat back on the chair and said angrily, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Zhao Mengfu looked at Meng Huan, was silent for a while, and asked, "Have you ever thought about why Zi Lan refused to name that person?"

Meng Huan raised his eyebrows.

"To take the blame for that person, Master Meng thinks so?" Zhao Mengfu said.

"Otherwise?" Meng Huan said.

Zhao Mengfu sighed: "Master Meng, you don't understand Zilan's heart at all."

"Zi Lan has no intention of surviving."

Zhao Mengfu's words made Meng Huan stunned for a moment, then he twitched the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile: "Master Zhao, what are you talking about? Zilan..."

"If you don't believe me, go see for yourself."

The corners of Meng Huan's mouth twitched, he faintly felt that what Zhao Mengfu said was true, but he didn't want to believe it, so his face turned cold, and he said, "Then according to Mr. Zhao's opinion, what should we do?"

Zhao Mengfu straightened his clothes, stood up, bowed to Meng Huan to the end, and said in a deep voice: "If Master Meng trusts me, then leave the matter of Zi Lan to me."

Meng Huan is now surrounded by rumors, so it is not easy to intervene in this matter.Yesubuhua rebelled, Meng Huan was suspected of having an affair with him, and Song Zhi was suspected of rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty. If these two things are linked together and corroborated by each other, it will be even more difficult to explain clearly.

The two were talking, when a voice suddenly came from inside.

"Master Zhao, the newly promoted celebrity in Dadu, came to visit. He didn't know why he would let the juniors come out to meet the guests. If it spread, wouldn't people say that I, Mrs. McLeggie, don't know how to be polite?"

Although the voice is female, it is clear and sonorous, soft and strong, it is Meng Huan's Ake and Bayar.

As soon as the words were finished, a middle-aged woman in a long robe and a crown on her head came out behind the beaded curtain.

The woman had a broad forehead, a straight nose, pretty eyebrows, bright red lips, and rouged cheeks that complemented her complexion very well.

The woman is nearly forty years old, but her figure is still graceful, graceful and graceful under the gorgeous robe.

"Ake." Meng Huan quickly lowered his head and bowed to Bayar.

Bayar's eyes are also amber, and Meng Huan's pupil color follows hers.With a smile on her lips, she glanced at Meng Huan lightly and said, "Is this how Melody taught you how to treat guests?"

Bayar's demeanor was unmatched by the young Meng Huan.When she swept her eyes, there was an invisible sense of oppression, making Zhao Mengfu unable to see her attitude clearly.

"Madam, you're being polite. Zi'ang is just a mere young man. He's here to meet friends, so he doesn't dare to bother Madam." Zhao Mengfu said politely.

Bayar smiled slightly: "Master Zhao is too modest."

He also said, "Master Zhao is here for Song Zilan?"

Zhao Mengfu was caught off guard by Bayar's directness, and replied: "Yes, Zilan suffered..."

"It's ridiculous that Mr. Zhao should be worried about something like this happened in my house in Mailijitai." Bayar didn't give Zhao Mengfu a chance to speak, and directly condemned Song Zhi to death. "But Mr. Zhao, don't worry. Melody will never cover up and allow these thieves to get away with it, and will definitely deal with it fairly..."

"Ake!" Meng Huan interrupted Bayar abruptly, "What are you talking about? Zilan was slandered!"

"Hazier," Bayar said with persecution in his eyes, "you know best whether he has been slandered, don't you? Or are you trying to shield him?"

Although the talk was about Song Zhi's affairs, it actually involved the family's internal affairs. Zhao Mengfu couldn't stay longer, so he saluted in a hurry and left, Bayar didn't stop him.

Bayar's words have fully demonstrated the attitude of Mai Lijitai, and she represents Huduhu and Boyan. Not only do they not intend to save Song Zhi, but they also want Song Zhi to die.

This did not surprise Zhao Mengfu, but made Zhao Mengfu see the grim situation.

Going out of the Meng Mansion, Zhao Mengfu accidentally ran into a person, Qi Luqian.

Qi Luqian regards Song Zhi as a friend, and due to Meng Huan's reason, he doesn't have many contacts, but the friendship is still there.

Qi Luqian was originally a student of Wang Xun, the Taishi Ling of the Taishi Bureau, and he was deeply loved by Wang Xun. Wang Xun gave him advice and taught him carefully.After Wang Xun's death, Guo Shoujing took over the seat of Taishi Ling, and Qi Luqian also praised him greatly and put a lot of effort into it.

After Zhao Mengfu came to Dadu, he had a face-to-face meeting with the new Taishiling, and he became acquainted with Qi Luqian. He did not expect Song Zhi to have such a friend.

The two immediately went to a tea house together, and while drinking tea, they talked about something related to Song Zhi.

After Zhao Mengfu left, only Meng Huan and Bayar were left in the flower hall.

Without the presence of outsiders, Bayar's emotions were more exposed. She sat on the main seat, turned her head, and did not look at Meng Huan, obviously angry.

Meng Huan was also angry, but he wanted something from others, so he didn't dare to show his face, so he had to wrong himself, restrained his temper, and lowered his head.

Bayar glared at him fiercely, and said, "I'm not here, and you just toss your house like this, and you don't even have a bottom line?"

"Ake..."

"Don't call me," Bayar sneered, "what else do you want to save that kid? Don't even think about it!"

"You should think about it now, how to coax Chuoman back, and still think about what the traitor is doing?"

"Zi Lan isn't it," Meng Huan frowned, "Those are all slander!"

"It doesn't matter if it's slander or not," Bayar said. "This person can no longer be saved."

"I've already heard about you from Brother Ai Chi and Chuo Man. It's okay for you to pet him. It's not a big deal to have two male pets. But now the situation is out of your control, and you can't protect yourself. Adding him, do you want to let all of McLeggitt suffer with you?"

"What's more, Boyan and Master An Tong have another explanation. You are indifferent and doting on a male favorite. Lord Boyan is very dissatisfied. You have always been the favorite of Boyan. How come you can't figure it out at this juncture. Serious? It really disappoints me."

"You love brother Chi so angry that you can't sleep at night, you don't want to make amends, and you still meet Zhao Ziang, is it against the sky?"

Zhao Mengfu was a remnant of the Song court, Shizu reused him, which caused dissatisfaction among many ministers in the court, and Hu Duhu disliked these polite Han people very much.

Bayar scolded Meng Huan for a long time, but Meng Huan lowered his head and didn't reply. Bayar only thought that he had listened to it. Unexpectedly, at the end, Meng Huan replied straightforwardly:

"Ake, I must save Zilan."

"Even with myself, I must save him. If you don't want to, just drive me out of Merriji Terrace. I won't drag you and Brother Ai Chi."

In one sentence, Bayar almost thought that she had heard it wrong. She stared blankly at Meng Huan, as if it was the first day she knew this son.After a long while, Bayar stared at Meng Huan, and asked with some puzzlement:

"Why?"

"It's just a male favorite...is it worth it for you?"

Meng Huan suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down towards Bayar. He raised his head, looked into Bayar's eyes and said, "Ake, Zilan is the person I want to spend my whole life with, not some male favourite."

The blue and white porcelain cup in Bayar's hand fell to the ground, and with a "snap", it shattered into pieces of porcelain on the ground and fell apart.

It was only at this moment that Meng Huan realized that he was wrong, he shouldn't have married Chuo Man in the first place.

But it's too late to regret.

Bayar didn't say anything more, and gave Meng Huan a cold look. The servant girl led her robe, opened the bead curtain with one hand, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence:

"Then you can kneel here. When you think about it clearly, get up again."

Meng Huan's words completely annoyed Bayar, and of course these words were truthfully passed on to Hudu Hu, and Boyan had to keep them secret.

Otherwise, Bayar would not dare to imagine what would happen if Boyan knew about it.

The Meng Mansion closed the door to thank the guests, and Chuoman returned to her mother's house. Bayar and Hu Duhu asked Meng Huan to go to Boyan's mansion to coax Chuoman back, and apologized to Boyan.

Meng Huan refused to go, so he knelt in the flower hall.

Kneeling from afternoon to night, from night to next morning, not a drop of water entered, nor did I move a single bit.

Bayar and Huduhu had such attitudes towards Song Zhi, so it was impossible for them to have a good attitude towards Bai Man'er. They drove Bai Man'er out that day, and Meng Huan couldn't stop him.Fortunately, Bai Man'er was brought back to the mansion by Zhao Mengfu soon after.

This is what Song Zhi told him in prison.

At the same time, Yu Shitai is also conducting intensive investigations into the case of Meng Huan's affair with Yesu Buhua. In addition to the first few letters, Yu Shitai also produced some vague and intriguing letters. The secret documents of the misunderstanding, compared with the handwriting, are all Meng Huan's, and they are also stamped with a private seal.

As soon as these secret documents came out, Boyan and Hu Duhu immediately interrogated Meng Huan in private, but Meng Huan knew nothing about these things, and it was obvious that they were framed.But the forgery of physical evidence was too successful, and Shizu didn't believe that Meng Huan would really rebel. After seeing these physical evidence, he couldn't help being a little suspicious.

If it was an ordinary person, he would have already been convicted, but due to the face of Boyan and others, Shizu didn't do that. He only put Meng Huan in the sky prison, and no outsiders were allowed to visit.

The people behind the scenes are menacing. Boyan, Huduhu, and Antong certainly won't sit still. The other party can forge physical evidence to this extent, and they are definitely not young people. With such an enemy in the dark, even they are like a light. back.

After Meng Huan was imprisoned, he couldn't get involved in Song Zhi's affairs at all, and he couldn't even inquire about the news.

In fact, Song Zhi's situation is better than Meng Huan's.

After Zhao Mengfu got acquainted with Qi Luqian, he got on the line of Guo Shoujing through Qi Luqian. Guo Shoujing didn't want to intervene.

Zhao Mengfu recruited a few remaining ministers of the Song court who were expropriated from Lin'an with him. After discussing with him, they planned to draw up a booklet and present it to plead for Song Zhi.

However, before the brochure was submitted, someone stopped him first, by Guo Shoujing.

Guo Shoujing believed that pleading for Song Zhi with such fanfare would only make the situation worse.Originally, Shizu didn't pay much attention to Song Zhi, but if the zhezi was submitted, then Shizu had to pay more attention: For example, who is this kid?Why did so many people plead for him?They would even suspect that this group of Southern Song survivors were proud of their favor.In this way, no matter how good it is for anyone.

Finally, Guo Shoujing made a decision: Put this aside for now, so that the recent Yesubuhua rebellion and Meng Huan's affair will be settled. In a word, maybe Shizu let him go with a swipe of his pen.

Tianshou Festival is on August [-]rd, and there are still one or two months left.

Song Zhi was weak, she had been in a dark prison without sunlight for a long time, her body could not support her bones, her illness was lingering, sometimes mild and sometimes severe.

By the end of July, when the heat receded, Qiuhu had rested, and the weather turned cooler, making life in prison even more difficult.

The author has something to say:

Note: Wang Xun died in 1281, that is, in the 18th year of Zhiyuan. After that, Guo Shoujing took over the work of the Taishi Academy, but he was not officially promoted to Taishiling until the 23rd year of Zhiyuan, that is, 1286, so it is said that the new Taishiling.
