Chapter 193 - 193 Scheme
193 Scheme
“I know the two of you have doubts. He and I are half-brothers. He killed my father! At that time, I wanted to ask him for an explanation, but he…”
At this point, Meng Lang couldn’t help but cry. Ning Yue couldn’t bear to see a grown man cry like this.
Seeing this, Jiang Ying pulled Ning Yue to his side. Why was she showing her sympathy to a grown man?
He had only cried a little. How could he make people pity her?
“Tell me what happened!” Jiang Ying couldn’t help but say. He didn’t like this person at first glance. He was definitely not a good person!
If Ning Yue knew what Jiang Ying was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud. Was this how she looked like to him?
“It’s everything. It’s like this…”
It turned out that Meng Hang was really in contact with the two princes. He was a spy the two princes had placed in Prince Jin’s fief. Meng Hang had provided the two princes with a lot of conveniences and even started a business in Prince Jin’s fief.
This business naturally became the backing of the two princes.
Ning Yue frowned tightly. No wonder she was very curious at that time. How could those two princes have so many troops with the conditions of their fiefs?
So it was because their business had reached Jiang Ying’s place.
At the thought of this, Ning Yue secretly looked at Jiang Ying, wanting to see doubts or other expressions in his eyes. However, she did not expect Jiang Ying to look indifferent. It seemed that he already knew.
As Meng Lang continued, they talked about Prince Qi and Prince Ning.
At that time, Meng Lang had thought that the matter between Prince Qi and Prince Ning would implicate Meng Hang. However, he did not expect his brother, Meng Hang, to sit at home and act like a tyrant.
“According to you, your brother is actually a heinous person. Why don’t others think so?” Ning Yue asked Meng Lang.
Meng Lang sighed heavily. “I’ve been a hooligan since I was young. My reputation is bad, so those people naturally blame me for everything I do. They even think that I’m a burden to my brother. They don’t think that my brother did anything wrong. What can I do?”
Meng Lang’s words made Ning Yue shake her head.
She recalled a saying that if one person had already died in the room and the others rushed to the room and saw another person standing nearby with a bloody knife in his hand, everyone would think that the person holding the knife was the murderer.
However, in fact, the person with the knife wanted to save the people who were killed. Unfortunately, he failed.
This was not about anything else. It was a reminder not to be deceived by the appearance of things.
Now couldn’t this be applied to what was going on between Meng Hang and Meng Lang?
“I understand. If you can help us find the incriminating evidence, you’ll have done a great service. I’ll report this matter to the emperor and remove your name from the list of the nine generations,” Jiang Ying said.
Meng Lang looked at Jiang Ying in confusion and asked, “Why will you remove my name from the nine generations?”
“Because the rebellion can implicate your entire family. Why? Do you want to be implicated by him and die together with them?” Jiang Ying asked.
Meng Lang’s eyes widened. He hadn’t thought of this at all. He just felt that after being suppressed by his brother for so long, he wanted to vent his anger.
“I-I…” He wanted to explain, but he didn’t know what to say.
Jiang Ying raised his hand to signal for him not to say anything else. Then, he instructed, “If you don’t have a place to stay tonight, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay. Tomorrow, you can tell me where Meng Hang’s evidence is stored. In addition, don’t worry. I said I won’t let you die, so I won’t let you die.”
After receiving Jiang Ying’s repeated assurance, Meng Lang heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter what, it was more important to stay alive. If he had known that his entire family would be killed, he wouldn’t have come.
No! It was not that he would not come. He should have gone to Prince Jin’s residence long ago to chat with Prince Jin.
He was thinking of an ideal situation. Could he see Prince Jin just because he wanted to?
After that person left, Ning Yue was in a bad mood. “Meng Hang is still alive. We don’t know how many more pawns Prince Qi and Prince Ning have in this world.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ying said, “I don’t think he’s under one of those two princes. Those two are so conceited. How can they use the governor!”
Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ning Yue frowned even more.
