Chapter 78
Seeing that Xue Lan refused to agree, he walked to the door and explained a few words. After a short while, seven or eight strong men carried them into a sycamore box half a person's height, and put it on the ground with a muffled sound.

The screen retreated and someone opened it, everyone present except Meng Yan was dumbfounded.

Be good, a box full of bright orange gold, probably tens of thousands of taels!
The so-called money can turn ghosts, Meng Yan knew that he had no friendship with the Duke's family, and even had some festivals, so he asked rashly, and the chance of the other party agreeing was not high, so he made two-handed preparations.

Although the Duke's Mansion has a big family and a great business, it can't stand the prodigal son Song Chengye. Tens of thousands of taels of gold are definitely a big temptation for them.

Seeing the greedy look in Song Chengye's eyes, Meng Yan sneered in his heart, and said to Xue Lan: "Be careful, please accept it with your aunt."

Sure enough, this time Xue Lan did not directly refuse, but pondered for a moment, hesitating and said: "I am the Ming Lord today, and I am not greedy for women. Even if we come forward to recommend him, he may not keep him. When the time comes..."

Seeing her let go, Meng Yan said with a determined smile: "Don't worry about this, Auntie, you just send him into the palace, and my nephew will make arrangements for the rest."

Seeing that the matter was about to be finalized, Gu Qingyou suddenly said: "It is not difficult to recommend a beautiful girl, but after all, there are certain risks. Just now, Mr. Meng said that there are already candidates from a good family. Should we also let us meet in advance?"

Meng Yan patted his chest and said: "Young Madam, please rest assured, these sons of good families are carefully selected by younger brothers, all of them are innocent, and there is absolutely no problem!"

However, Gu Qingyou shook her head: "Although that's the case, there are still necessary procedures. Since we intervene in this matter, we must know what to do?"

A large part of those women were coerced by Meng Yan from other places, and some of them with strong tempers had not been trained well, so they were sent directly to the Duke's mansion for fear of revealing their secrets.

But what Gu Qingyou said was also reasonable, Meng Yan's brain turned sharply, and finally found an excuse: "Oh, what the young lady said is reasonable, but right now the beautiful girls are still on their way to Beijing, and it is estimated that they will not be able to reach Xiguan until noon tomorrow at least County, my younger brother is afraid that the nobles will not be able to wait."

Gu Qingyou smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's getting late anyway, we have to go back to the inn to stay overnight, and we can bring beautiful girls to Beijing together tomorrow."

Meng Yan cursed inwardly, isn't she in a hurry to leave?Are you not worried about your dog now? !

He also heard Xue Lan say: "The assassin hasn't been captured yet, and the city gate won't be able to open for a while, so listen to Yoyo, stay for one night before leaving."

The hole was dug by Meng Yan himself. Hearing this, he forced a smile and said, "That's how I thank the two ladies."

In order to prevent them from changing their minds, Meng Yan got up and said: "It's not early, I have already ordered someone to clean the inn again, please go back and rest early."

Song Zhishu showed his side from the beginning and never came back. The role of the tool man is very obvious, but everyone knows it well, so they tacitly pretend not to know.

On the way back to the inn, Song Chengye left Xue Lin'er and got into the carriage in front of him, with a rare dignified expression: "Why did mother agree to that surnamed Meng just now? The Meng family is determined to push the second prince to the throne, and they are in the same situation as the middle palace. We Help him recommend Xiu Nu, if it gets out, won't the empress and the crown prince bear the grudge?"

Gu Qingyou was surprised: "Didn't you just want to agree to Meng Yan? Why did you go back on your word now?"

What she actually wanted to talk about was why she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she was afraid that Song Chengye would blow his hair, and if he bluffed, it would be broken if he was heard outside.

Song Chengye snorted awkwardly, turned his head away from her, but still replied: "I thought about it after I came out, and I always felt that there was a conspiracy in it. With the status of the Meng family, whenever they waved, some people did things for them. Why bother to spend a lot of money to find us?"

Although he doesn't understand government affairs, after all, his identity is there, so he is more or less fascinated by it. When he heard the benefits at first, he was indeed a little hot-headed, but when he calmed down, he found something was wrong.

The most important thing is that the queen, like the emperor, dislikes him in the first place, and once she finds out, she may not know how to retaliate.

It's rare to see him with a brain, Gu Qingyou joked: "You said it seriously, I don't know who almost stared out just now!"

"Rolling, rolling, such a big box of gold, who can't look straight at it?"

Song Chengye puffed up his chest: "But a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. The dukes of the left and right countries don't want his money. You can't lose the big because of the small."

The more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt. Seeing that Xue Lan was silent, he looked at Song Hengye and said, "Mother rarely enters the palace, so it's fine if you don't understand these things. Why didn't you stop me just now?"

Song Hengye glanced at Gu Qingyou, lowered his eyes and said, "It's just a small matter, my son is too worried."

Song Chengye snorted, after all, it wasn't his own. Facing the future of the Duke's Mansion, he seemed to have nothing to do with him.

But no matter what, his mother had already agreed, and it would not be appropriate to go back on his word halfway, so he simply got out of the car in a fit of anger, out of sight and out of mind.

The streets in the middle of the night had disappeared from the hustle and bustle of the day. Gu Qingyou confirmed that he had gone to the carriage behind, and then carefully closed the door. He lowered his voice and said to Song Hengye, "Is there any problem with Bujia? How long will it take to hear back?"

Before Meng Yan found them, several people had already discussed the countermeasures. Not only did they have no chance of winning by forcing them out of the city, but they were easily beaten and accused of colluding with an assassin.

So they dealt with Meng Yan on the surface, pretending to agree, but in reality they were delaying time, giving in and sneaking out of the city to report back to Beijing as quickly as possible.

As for who to report the information to, it is naturally the current Holy Majesty.

The gold sent by Meng Yan today, and the show girl who will come tomorrow, will be strong evidence that Meng Yan will be killed!
It's no wonder that Gu Qingyou is cruel and merciless, the witchcraft incident is complicated and confusing, no one can tell whether it is Meng Guifei's actions, although she doesn't want to stand between the queen and Meng Guifei, but as Liu Chunxiang said, today they stayed in the Meng family's The inn, even if you want to get rid of the relationship, you can't do it.

Meng Yan was unkind, so don't blame them for being unrighteous, so Gu Qingyou decided to take the initiative to expose Meng Yan in front of the emperor before Concubine Meng Gui turned over, and choose the Duke's mansion first.

As for how the emperor would react when he received the news, and whether he was more sure that Concubine Meng Gui had a guilty conscience, that was not their concern.

At first, Song Hengye was worried that if Concubine Meng Guifei was wronged, their actions would be like adding insult to injury, which would be a bit unkind, but in the end, Gu Qingyou said "it's none of our business" to stop them.

"With years of ups and downs in the harem, which hands are clean? Besides, Meng Yan's evil body is full of evil. His sister is definitely not much better. The second son doesn't need to feel burdened."

Song Hengye was a little speechless, but felt that there seemed to be some truth, but Concubine Meng Gui was as pure and kind as the rumors said, how could she let her younger brother do her best for so many years?
