031 Down, strip off the floating name and leave immortals

These words made Lu Chunyang and Mei Yi next to him stunned. Since ancient times, I have only heard that the family property is confiscated, but I have not heard that the identity and name are confiscated. Lu Chunyang was speechless and said for a long time: "What does Xiao Marquis mean? Why is my name no longer mine?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled coldly: "You don't agree, aren't you? Then you go out and try it, tell others that you are unlucky, Lu Dongbin, and then explain what you did, and see if anyone believes you? If you don't be beaten to death by sticks, you will be lucky!... God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, and I also have the heart toward Taoism. Although you want to make money from Jingwu Villa, you will be spared your life for the sake of being in the world... Zhang Guo, give this cat and dog a few hang money and let him roll down the mountain overnight, so don't let me see it again!"

Someone outside agreed, Zhang Guo went down to the cellar, grabbed a few hanging money from the ground and hung it on the man's neck, and carried him out like a chicken. Mei Yi sighed, "Young Master, am I really convinced you? If I can't think of such a wonderful method no matter what, but the trick of Chunyangzi is clever and seem to be unnecessary."

Mei Zhenyi looked calm: "Uncle Yi, you want to say that it is better to kill him, right? Since I have given him a chance, you are not allowed to chase this person again, unless he dares to call himself Lu Chunyang."

Mei Yi bowed and said, "Since the young master has given me instructions, I will naturally not act without authorization. I just can't understand what the young master confiscated Chunyangzi's name just now?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly and sighed: "You don't understand. I have some feelings for this name. I don't want it to belong to that kind of slutty person. A good name!... I think of that Taoist priest who cheated and deceived him and was greedy for fame and fortune. Now Chun Yangzi is finally famous and respected by the people, but all this no longer belongs to him. This is the best punishment for such scum in the world!" He really couldn't explain to Mei Yi clearly. As a person who traveled to the Tang Dynasty in modern society, when he heard Lu Dongbin's name, his feelings were indeed a bit complicated.

Mei Yi: "The matter is over. The young master should rest early. I will rush to Ningguo County overnight to find my uncle."

Mei Zhenyi: "I almost forgot if you don't mention it. Go quickly. Don't tell my uncle too much. Just follow our discussion. Thank you very much. Uncle Yi, I'll thank you for the Mei family!" He got up from Hu's bed and bowed to Mei Yi. Mei Yi quickly stepped forward to support him.

There was an unexpected episode in the process of rescuing the baby in Chaotian Cave. Fortunately, Mei Yi also went there at that time, otherwise there would be big trouble. Not only did there be babies in Chaotian Cave, but also a batch of stolen weapons hidden by Ming Chongyan. As soon as Sun Simiao entered the cave, he was only able to save the children. Zhang Guo found that the weapons were originally intended to be damaged without leaving any traces. At this time, Mei Yi arrived.

Mei Yi was once a military leader and was very familiar with military ordnance. After taking a few more glances, he found something wrong. This was a batch of heavy armor and iron-tied bronze machines, which belonged to the heavy cavalry equipment. Wuzhou was located on the river bank of Jiangnan, and it was not suitable for heavy cavalry to gallop. How could such a batch of things appear? Look at the marks of the supervisors and local prefectures on the military ordnance. They were ordered by various places to build and hold tribute to the imperial court. From Ningguo County, he immediately thought of Mei Zhenyi's uncle, the Cang Governor of Ningguo County.

The loss of tribute supplies and the heavy cavalry ordnances that were prohibited by the people, the relevant officials were all guilty of beheading! They were both very powerful and both of them were sweating in cold sweats. They were not easy to report to the prefecture, so they could only go privately to ask Liu Zhi what was going on? Mei Yi rushed to Ningguo County overnight, and Liu Zhi was so anxious that he was about to hang his neck!

Ming Chongyan was very hidden when stealing things. It was not until a few days later that Ningguo County found that the batch of weapons had disappeared. From the county magistrate to the soldiers who looked at the warehouse, they were scared to death. The warehouse governor Liu Zhi was even more anxious. No one in the information dared to tell the matter, because the relevant responsible persons were guilty and could only search everywhere in secret but had no clues. Seeing that the batch of weapons had reached the time limit for being ordered to ship to Luoyang, I am afraid that they could no longer hide it.

When Mei Yi rushed to Liu Mansion in Ningguo County, the sky was just dazzled. Liu Zhi, with red eyes and fluffy hair, was about to go out when he met Mei Yi. He grabbed a life-saving straw and pulled him to the inner courtyard. He said to the face: "Mr. Mei, you are here just right. I know that you are so skilled in martial arts. Can you help me find a batch of things secretly? This is to save my family's life!"

Mei Yi understood as soon as he heard this, and leaned over and whispered a few words. Liu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, grabbed Mei Yi's clothes and said, "Thank God, you are really a life-saving star in our Ningguo County!"

Mei Yi: "Don't worry, thank me first, and then transport the things back quietly. I have one more thing to ask you to do."

Liu Zhi looked excited: "You said that as long as I can do it, the Liu family will do everything they can."

Mei Yi whispered: "When will you set out to pay this batch of arms to the court, where will you deliver it, and who will escort it?"

Liu Zhi: "I should have packed it tomorrow, but the things were not found. Now I know whereabouts. I will be able to handle it. I will be responsible for the escort when I shipped it to Luoyang Ministry of Industry for delivery."

Mei Yi nodded: "Then let me do something and bring me with me too. I also have to bring something to mix it with the armor. It must be kept confidential and not checked by anyone. I will leave with the things before I arrive in Luoyang."

Liu Zhi nodded immediately: "Okay, there is absolutely no problem. What is it?"

Mei Yi: "It's a big box, less than 200 kilograms. You can't ask what it is inside. In short, just send me and the box not far from Luoyang."

"Since that's the case, I won't ask. I will definitely be able to do this, and no one except you and me will know about it." Liu Zhi guaranteed the vote on the spot.

Mei Yi whispered something to Liu Zhi, and what did he want to smuggle? It was a bit complicated. He told Liu Zhi that one of the well-known things happened in Wuzhou was that a monster stole the baby and practiced evil methods, was killed by the master of the immortal family, and the baby was saved. When the master was saving the baby, Mei Yi was also present and found a batch of weapons hidden in the demon's cave, which actually had the mark of Ningguo County. So he came secretly and asked about the situation overnight. When he happened to meet Liu Zhi, he was also panicked about the matter.

According to his statement, it was obvious that the Scorpion Demon stole the weapons. As for what a monster wants these things to do, the Scorpion Demon is dead and can't explain it clearly. These are all told by Mei Zhenyi. It's not that he doesn't trust his uncle, but that knowing the inside story like this is not a good thing.

As for what Mei Yi was going to smuggle, it was Ming Chongyan's body. Mei Zhenyi thought about it and then thought that Ming Chongyan, the important minister in the court, could not disappear without understanding. If this were the case, the court would definitely send people to investigate and all the clues would not be spared. Maybe some masters found Wuzhou. No one was sure that before Ming Chongyan came to Wuzhou, he had mentioned his whereabouts to others? It would be better to give Ming Chongyan a public explanation.

So Mei Zhenyi thought of the police and gangster films she saw before traveling through time. After the criminals killed people, they often threw away their bodies and forged the scene, misleading the police to find the wrong direction. According to the actual plots in many film and television dramas, even an old man like Mei Zhenyi believed that the police could not find out the case. If the screenwriter had not insisted on letting the police solve the case in order to take care of the main theme, he thought of throwing Ming Chongyan away from him between Chang'an and Luoyang, and making the scene where he encountered bandits on the way back to Luoyang.

It is very simple to find a way, but how can I throw the corpse over? There are many checkpoints along the way from Wuzhou to Luoyang, and all the goods carried by pedestrians must be investigated, let alone bringing a corpse? Bypassing the checkpoints through wild roads was both inconvenient and dangerous in that era, and it was impossible to get around some areas unless you are Feixian.

There is only one safest and safest way, which is to hide it in the military supplies of the imperial court. Of course, there is no need to pay taxes for such things to pass the checkpoints. Besides the departure and delivery places, there is no right to check the checkpoints along the way, and they cannot even touch them. At that time, officials used this convenience to privately grab goods to avoid taxes, which was considered an ancient smuggling. Liu Zhi had also done this kind of thing, and of course there was no problem with the road. Mei Yi thought of the idea of ​​transporting the corpses like this for the young master, because he understood the tricks and found Liu Zhi to handle the matter very easily, and he also mixed in the escort team.

Mei Yi asked Liu Zhi to send people to the outskirts of Wuzhou to secretly transport the batch of weapons back to Ningguo County. He loaded the car and set off north immediately, only one day later than the original departure time. The officials in Ningguo County who knew the inside story finally breathed a sigh of relief. After touching the head of the neck, they could go home for dinner. The matter was secret and no one dared to say much. Mei Yi, who had recovered the supplies, became everyone's life-saving benefactor, and they all thanked each other in private, so I won't mention it for now.

At this time, the end of the year is approaching, and materials must be transported to the eastern capital Luoyang by the date, so the carriages and horses are moving very fast. After crossing the half-frozen Yellow River, they walked to a wilderness. Seeing that there was no one along the way, Mei Yi quietly left the escort convoy with the big box. He crossed mountains and ridges in the wild road, rushed to the official road between Chang'an and Luoyang, opened the sealed box in a mountain forest, threw Ming Chongyan's stinky body not far from the road, pretending to be a scene where he was killed, and quickly left, he found a hidden place to burn the box without leaving any trace.

Then Mei Yi went straight to Chang'an. He suddenly returned to Chang'an and didn't even send a letter in advance, which surprised Mei Xiaolang, thinking that something had happened in Wuzhou. The master and servant talked secretly in the study for a long time. The next day, Mei Yi hurriedly left Chang'an and returned to Wuzhou. There was no letter this time. The marquis asked Mei Yi to bring his son three sentences: the first sentence is - Ming Chongyan's affairs were broken in his stomach, and he should not mention it with anyone, but he should not forget his kindness. He should set up a temple for Luxue. The second sentence is - my son is so anxious and his father is very relieved. He asked the old immortal Sun in Wuzhou for advice. The third sentence is - the Taoist priest's book is well preserved, and it may be useful if there is a major change.

The first two sentences are easy to understand, but what does the last sentence mean? In ancient times, there was no Internet, no photography technology, and the book of the priest represents the identity of the Taoist priest, but there is no photo or portrait. If there is no flaw in his hand, it will be whose one. As long as others didn't know him before, they would not have deliberately investigated it. Ming Chongyan's actions made Mei Xiaolang frightened, and thought that if there were any disasters in the family, he could make his confidant dress up as a Taoist priest Lu Chunyang, while Mei Zhenyi pretended to be a little boy next to the Taoist priest, so that he could leave Wuzhou to avoid disaster, and it was a self-protection strategy just in case.

In addition to these three sentences, Mei Xiaolang also told Mei Yi to do something, but not tell Mei Zhenyi. That is, after returning to Wuzhou, he found the Taoist priest Lu Chunyang and secretly killed him! Mei Zhenyi was willing to save this person's life, but Mei Xiaolang still wanted to silence him, and the father and son had different ideas. When Mei Yi rushed back to Wuzhou, the unlucky Taoist priest had already run away and the matter was not done.

That night in the study, Mei Xiaolang heard about the plan to throw away the body and remove the disaster by Mei Zhenyi, Mei Yi and others, and sighed and said, "Mei Yi, after all, you are not an official in the court, and you don't know the complicated situation. Teng'er is a child after all, and no matter how smart you are, you can't understand much. If you throw away the body like this, you will be very involved!"

Mei Yi asked in surprise: "How can it be more involved? Can we still track down our Mei family?"

Mei Xiaolang: "Oh, don't talk about the Mei family for now. The position of the Prince's Eastern Palace is hard to protect. If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

Mei Yi was even more surprised: "The person was not killed by the prince? How could he find the Eastern Palace?"

Mei Xiaolang: "When Ming Chongyan was a sorcerer who had obtained a high position for the minions of the Martial Empress, how could he frame me for no reason? It was probably because of the queen's instructions, and he had other intentions."

Mei Yi: "You mean the queen is asking for trouble for the Mei family?"

Mei Xiaolang: "I'm afraid it's not the Mei family, but the prince. The queen is dissatisfied with the prince's court. There have been rumors in the court. Your Majesty did not return to the east when he was lucky. He left the prince in Chang'an. Among the court officials, I stayed for Chang'an. If you want to make a fuss in the capital, you will naturally think of pulling me into the water. Then Ming Chongyan is really cruel and you can kill him well!"

Mei Yi: "Since there is such an involvement, I will rush back overnight to hide the body of the demon. What should the Marquis think should be better if he dealt with it?"

Mei Xiaolang shook his head: "It's too late. You may have a flaw when you rush back at this time. Don't pay attention to the evil Tao. You'd better go back to Wuzhou. I'll deal with the rest of the matter... By the way, did Teng'er often mention me? Poor that he has not seen me as a father yet."

Did Mei Zhenyi often miss her father? I have never seen him, so why did she talk about it? Maybe deep down in his heart, it is difficult to associate the concept of this marquis whom she has never met with. Mei Yi did not dare to lie or provoke the relationship between father and son. He could only answer vaguely: "It is less than two months since the young master woke up, and he is weak and cannot travel far. I think when he is healthy, he will come to Chang'an to pay a visit to the marquis immediately. This child is smart and well-behaved, and will definitely be very filial in the future."

Mei Xiaolang waved his hand: "I also want to see him earlier, but in this troublesome situation, I should not let this child come to Chang'an and be disturbed. He is still in Wuzhou and is almost in trouble. He is really a person with many disasters. This time you did a good job and saved the Mei family. I have to thank you and my son."

The next day, Mei Yi left Chang'an, and Mei Xiaolang also sent two other confidants, one went to Luoyang to deliver a letter to his father-in-law Pei Yan, and the other went north to the border military camp to report to Pei Xingjian, the chief marching officer of Dingxiang Road. The two surnames Pei were the people with the closest relationship with Mei Xiaolang in the court. This matter could not be written, but could only be written with verbal messages. The general idea was that the queen had decided to depose the empress, which made the two adults know.

At present, the authority of the court is in the hands of the queen, and there is always a way to punish the prince. Unless the emperor immediately dies, the prince ascends the throne on the day, or the prince rebels and becomes independent, these are impossible. As for which son Wu wants to inherit the throne, it is a family matter of the Li family, Mei Xiaolang can't take much care of it. At this time, even the scheming Mei Xiaolang did not expect that the queen was actually the emperor in her heart. If she asked her son Mei Zhenyi, who had traveled through time, she would understand this.

Not long after, Ming Chongyan's body was discovered by passers-by and immediately reported to the government. The civil security was very good at that time, and this kind of thing happened very rarely, and it immediately attracted the attention of some officials. Due to the cold weather, the body was not completely corrupt and could be identified. After inspection, it was found that the person had a fatal sword wound. He inserted it straight into his chest from the back of his heart, and all the property on his body was missing. Only a fish talisman representing his identity was left. It was Ming Chongyan, the official remarks were reported in Luoyang, and the emperor and the queen were furious and issued a strict investigation.

According to the scene, he encountered a bandit on the road and was killed, but the queen insisted that it was the prince instructed him. Because Ming Chongyan had repeatedly pointed out that the prince was inappropriate in his words and deeds, the prince not only did not regret it but secretly hated him, but also threatened to "kill the demonic way" after drinking. This time, Ming Chongyan went to Chang'an to check the prince's actions by the queen, and was killed on the way back. It was obvious that the prince had disobedient things and was found by Ming Chongyan, so he ordered people to investigate the prince thoroughly.
