424 Meng Meng
When Cheng Rui came out and saw the brawny man in the middle, he was stunned. Wasn’t this the mountain Bandit he had been looking for?
Lu Zheng was equally surprised. Wasn’t this man his most capable subordinate in the Army, Meng Meng, in his previous life?
He had once saved this man’s life. After that, this man followed him to the battlefield and achieved great military achievements. When he died, Meng Meng was promoted to a Rank 2 General.
He was 16, and Meng Meng should be 20.
The 20-year-old Meng Meng was indeed in Qing Province, but he had never asked about Meng Meng’s past. He only knew that Meng Meng was a mountain Bandit who had been exterminated by the Imperial court. He was the only one who had escaped from the entire mountain stronghold.
“Eldest young master Cheng! What’s the situation? Didn’t you say that the Yamen was opened by your family? So what, the time we agreed on hasn’t even arrived, and you’re already capturing me? This is a deliberate scam to catch me! I’m telling you, I’ve been caught, and my brothers in the village will avenge me! Your Taoyuan County’s government office will be turned upside down by my brothers!” When Meng Meng saw Cheng Rui, he straightened his neck and said.
Lu Zheng came back to his senses and laughed in his heart. When Meng Meng was trying to scam someone, he liked to blame others for it.
Could it be that Meng Meng had been subdued by second uncle?
With this thought in mind, Lu Zheng looked at Gu shouxin.
Gu shouxin didn’t know what was going on and had to pretend to be bullied, so he ignored Lu Zheng.
“Who are you and why are you spouting nonsense? Biting me?” Naturally, Cheng Rui would not admit it.
“Ah PEI! You bastard! Fortunately, I was smart enough to leave evidence for you to write down. Although the matter didn’t succeed, the handwriting is yours.” Meng Meng spat at Cheng Rui.
Then, he looked at the fat man sitting above and said, ” “My Lord, you’re not a relative of that dog official, are you? This commoner will believe you! Get someone to read the handwriting! This was definitely written by that son of a bitch, Cheng Rui. Hmph, you want to scam me? no way! Even if I go to hell, I want you and your family to accompany me!”
“Silence!” The fat man hit the gavel.
He might be smiling, but when he wasn’t smiling, he was much more serious than Lord Cheng.
“My surname is he, and I am the southwest inspector appointed by His Majesty to manage all the official matters in the southwest. Today, he learned that Taoyuan County was suspected of fraud in the scientific examination, so he came here. It turned out that the fraud was fake, and the officials were covering up for their relatives and bullying the people! Lord Cheng, do you know your crime?” Lord he directly convicted Lord Cheng.
“Lord he, this official has been wronged! I also received a complaint from the candidate, so I ordered people to arrest the suspects, Gu shouxin and Zhou Yuan.” Lord Cheng argued.
“Everything requires evidence. May I ask where is your evidence, Lord Cheng?” Lord he asked with a frown.
Lord Cheng,”Yingluo.”
Wasn’t I just tricked by Gu shouxin?
“Cheng Rui! You relied on the county magistrate’s son to forcefully take a commoner’s daughter as a concubine. You refused to comply, and you wanted to cook the rice, then you killed and set fire to it. Do you plead guilty to this matter?” Lord he looked at Cheng Rui again.
Cheng Rui knelt down and said,’I refuse to admit it! I have never had such thoughts. Please understand!”
Meng Meng spat on Cheng Rui. “Ah PEI! Are you a man or not? aren’t you just attracted by miss Gu’s good looks and her ability to earn money? You’re shameless, you dare to do but don’t dare to admit it! If I were the son of the county Magistrate, I would use all I have and all the proper means to win lady Gu’s favor! You shameless thing, you don’t deserve to be a man! I don’t even want to have the same title as you, I’m a real man, I’m the one who’s called you!”
“Silence!” After scolding Meng Meng enough, Mr. He slammed the table and made Meng Meng shut up.
