Mei Ruoyan watched Shao Xi walk out of the room and was stunned for a while, unable to react for a long time. It wasn't until Shao Xi disappeared at the door that he realized what had just happened. He pursed his lips and recalled the feeling of that moment, and a blush appeared on his face.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the room just now, but what did he say before leaving? Will you make up for it later? Thinking of what Shao Xi said before leaving, Mei Ruoyan couldn't help but blush and her heart beat, and there was still some expectation in her heart.
Shao Xi said that he would avenge himself, which made Mei Ruoyan feel both relieved and worried. What is gratifying is that Shao Xi is willing to take such a big risk for himself to do such a dangerous thing. What is worrying is that what he will face next will be endless murderous intent and danger, and every step will be like facing an abyss.
This is like a hunter entering a mountain forest full of ferocious beasts. He needs to be extremely careful. If he is a little careless, he will also become the prey of the ferocious beasts.
Mei Ruoyan believed that with Shao Xi's wisdom, it would not be difficult to escape unscathed, but now Shao Xi had concerns, and his concern was himself.
If one day he becomes Shao Xi's weakness, it may be fatal to Shao Xi. Mei Ruoyan didn't want to see such a situation arise. Maybe she couldn't help Shao Xi much, but at least she couldn't let herself be the one who brought danger to Shao Xi and couldn't become a burden to him.
Mei Ruoyan sighed. There were some things she really didn't know whether she should say to Shao Xi. Maybe one day they could really break out of this prison of worldliness and hatred. On that day, she and Shao Xi would have no reservations. Confess your feelings to the other party.
Shao Xi called Fu Biao after leaving Mingfengfang, and they returned home together. On the way, Fu Biao looked at Shao Xi's expression and wondered what his young master had just talked about with Miss Mei upstairs.
But since Shao Xi didn't say anything, he kept silent. All he had to do was to prevent anyone from harming his family leader. As for what Shao Xi said or did, he didn't bother to inquire.
return to
"Frost Snow Tower"
"Xiyan Pavilion", Shao Xi ordered people to call Lao Wu over. As soon as Old Wu entered the door, Shao Xi asked Old Wu: "Old Wu, when you were working as a secret agent in the 'Jingcheng Division', you probably knew a lot about what was happening in the prefectures and counties. Do you know about Tanzhou?" How much?" Old Wu wondered why Shao Xi suddenly became interested in Tanzhou?
He actually asked about things in Tanzhou that were beyond his reach.
"I know something about Tanzhou, but I don't know when you are asking about it? I didn't go to Tanzhou much in those years, and it seems that nothing big happened in Tanzhou. What exactly do you want to ask? What is it?"
"Ten years ago! As far as you know, what happened in Tanzhou ten years ago? Is there anything special that caught your attention?" Old Wu rolled his eyes and tried to remember, but after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head. .
"Ten years ago? Isn't that the time around the incident in our Fengjiazhuang? At that time, the owner of the village had already resigned and returned to his hometown for many years. Although I still inquired about information for the owner of the village, I was no longer a spy, so I could find out more about it. Things are also extremely limited.
"Just tell me what you want to ask about. If I know it, I know it. If I don't know it, I don't know it. Don't beat me around the bush here!" Shao Xi saw that Old Wu was a little anxious, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Tan Who was the richest man in Tanzhou back then? How is it now?" Old Wu looked at Shao Xi sideways and thought to himself, why is this kid asking about the richest man in Tanzhou back then?
Could it be that you still think you don't have enough money, and now you have the idea of becoming the richest man in Tanzhou? Ordinarily it shouldn’t be!
The Mei family in Tanzhou had never provoked him, so why was he inexplicably asking about them now? Did this kid hear something from somewhere?
"Okay, why are you asking about the Mei family in Tanzhou? The Mei family was a serious businessman in Tanzhou back then. They had never committed any crime. Besides, Mei Ru'an passed away ten years ago. , The Mei family has long since declined."
"The richest man in Tanzhou back then was indeed named Mei? How did the Mei Ru'an you mentioned die?" Old Wu stared at Shao Xi with his two yellow eyes for a long time, and suddenly seemed to understand something. With a smirk on his face, he asked Shao Xi, "If you ask about the Mei family, is there any connection between the Mei family in Tanzhou and that girl Mei Ruoyan?" Shao Xi didn't want to speak so clearly and directly, but Old Wu The old fox was so cunning. Just from the surname Mei, he could already think of his purpose of inquiring about the Mei family in Tanzhou.
At this time, Shao Xi saw that he could no longer hide it, so he stopped pretending and simply called Old Wu directly.
"Old guy, why do you talk so much nonsense? If you know something, just say it. If you don't know, just say you don't know. What are you talking about?" Seeing that Shao Xi was a little anxious, Old Wu had a look on his face.
"I caught you" expression, laughing.
"Since it concerns Miss Mei, I have to talk to you carefully.
"Back then, the Mei family was the richest man in Tanzhou. Because Tanzhou is located in a grain-producing land, the Mei family was engaged in the grain business. Mei Ru'an was honest in doing business and had a heart of a Buddha. Every time there was a disaster, he would He opened warehouses to distribute grain and provide relief to local people, so he has gained a good reputation in Tanzhou over the years.
"However, eleven years ago, Mei Ru'an was suddenly arrested and imprisoned by the local government. The crime was actually because of the drought that year, Mei's rice and wheat shop hoarded food, drove up the price of food, and even mixed sand in the food to deceive the victims! No one knew it. , I don’t believe this accusation anyway.
"Later, I heard that Mei Ruan died of illness in prison because he was weak and sick. He couldn't survive in prison. This matter attracted some attention from the owner of the village, and he asked me to inquire about it. .
"However, because the main focus at that time was on discovering someone in the court who was plotting to rebel, I did not investigate the matter in depth. Is it possible that Mei Ru'an has something to do with that girl?" Shao Xi looked impatiently. He glanced at Lao Wu and asked angrily.
"What do you think?" Old Wu said with a look of realization on his face, "Then Mei Ru'an has no children and only two daughters at home. His two daughters were only five or six years old when the incident happened. Could Miss Mei be one of his two daughters?
"Judging from the age, they are very consistent. Your boy went to Mingfengfang today and asked me about the Mei family in Tanzhou when he came back. It seems that he knows Miss Mei's life experience, right?" Shao Xi pushed the poured tea to the old man. In front of Wu, he said with a solemn expression: "That's not all! Back then, Mei Ru'an was framed and falsely accused, imprisoned unjustly, tortured in prison, and died of torture!
"The culprit is Xiao Yuzhi. Back then, he colluded with the Tanzhou County Sheriff to support a private army in Tanzhou and forced Mei Ru'an to contribute his family property. After Mei Ru'an sternly refused, he colluded with the Tanzhou County Sheriff to kill him. He died and embezzled the Mei family's property, causing the two Ruoyan sisters to live on the streets.
"In the end, Ruoyan's sister got sick and died, and she became an actress alone in Mingfengfang. She has been looking for revenge these years. You must have heard about the assassin who broke into the Prince's Palace three days ago. This happened to Ruoyan do.
"Her martial arts realm has now reached the peak of the fourth level, but she still failed in the assassination and escaped with injuries. We didn't expect that we were all concealed by her at the beginning, let alone that Xiao Yuzhi is now at the sixth level." It seems to be what Shao Xi said in this paragraph. The amount of information was so large that Old Wu was stunned for a while.
"Although I thought it was strange that Mei Ru'an was imprisoned back then, I didn't expect that it was related to Xiao Yuzhi. It seems that our second prince not only raised a private army in Yujiang County, but also ran a business in Tanzhou for many years. It seems that there are many similar things happening in other places.
"This girl Mei is a martial artist. You haven't noticed it, let alone me! I didn't expect that this little girl has reached the peak of the fourth level. Her martial arts talent is not low, but she is also too courageous! Then Is Prince Ling's Mansion a place she can just break into? This move is really too reckless!
"As for you saying that Xiao Yuzhi has reached the sixth level, I don't think there is anything strange about this. You must know that your Xiao family has been extremely talented in martial arts for generations. As a prince, he is naturally skilled in various martial arts. There is no shortage of classics and famous teachers, and reaching the sixth level in your thirties is nothing new.
"But a monster like you is probably only comparable to the first ancestor Xiao Baiting. If you practice the Dragon Transformation Art and the Nine Provinces Yuan Qi in the future, your achievements will not be inferior to the first ancestor. Now that you know this, but there are What's your plan?" Shao Xi curled his lips, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. After drinking all the water in the tea cup, he put the cup directly on the tea table.
He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "What's the plan? The old debt has not been settled, but now a new one has been added. Xiao Yuzhi not only caused the Feng family to be wiped out, but he also caused the Ruoyan family to be destroyed and everyone was killed, and he also hurt Ruoyan. If I Can you still be considered a man if you let him go?
"I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning. Although I cannot kill my enemy with my own hands, as a prince, he supports a private army, plots rebellion, and usurps power. With these evidences, the emperor will not let him go.
"Didn't he just want to be the crown prince and rule the world in the future? I made him lose everything and asked his father and brother to avenge my Feng family, the Mei family in Tanzhou, and all the people who had been harmed by him. , the ten-year grudge between our Feng family and him will finally come to an end." Old Wu looked at Shao Xi in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
Although Shao Xi was not Feng Changlin's biological son, seeing Shao Xi's eagerness to avenge the Feng family, Lao Wu felt that all the sacrifices he and Feng Changlin had made for this child were worth it.
Knowing that he is not a member of the Feng family, and knowing that the enemies of the Feng family are his royal siblings, Shao Xi can make a choice without hesitation, which shows how important the Feng family is in this child's heart!
Fortunately, what Xiao Yuzhi did was also not tolerated by the royal family. Now that Shao Xi has the evidence of Xiao Yuzhi's crime, he not only avenges the Feng family, but also eliminates harm for the royal Xiao family, which can be regarded as achieving both loyalty and filial piety.
He does not live up to Feng Changlin's kindness in raising him, nor does he live up to the responsibilities of being a royal heir and a minister of Jingyuan.
