Chapter 1214 Appearance
Although Mantong did not pass the imperial examination, he was very talented. He lived in Hezhou for more than ten years and made many friends. He was also concerned about current affairs and civil affairs, so he knew something about both the officialdom and the military. At the moment, he had no reservations and told Fu Jingen what he knew. Then the three of them discussed what method to take He Mengji back to Beijing without making any big fuss.
It is not easy to arrest He Meng and his party members and ensure their own safety. After discussing it all night, no good idea was proposed.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Fu Jingen said, "Uncle, Uncle, let's discuss it when I see He Meng!"
Although I have heard of He Meng’s many deeds, my impressions and judgments about him are all based on what others say. But I have to see what this person looks like before I know.
Qi Xiangdi nodded and said, "When you meet him, no matter what he does to you, you should not go against him, otherwise you will be in danger."
The main reason is that He Meng is a very dangerous person, and he has no choice but to worry.
Fu Jingen smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will deal with it carefully."
After dawn, Fu Jingen took Lao Ba out.
After Man Tong left, he couldn't help but ask Qi Xiangdi: "Brother Qi, this child looks too old. How could your aunt marry his granddaughter to him?"
He heard that Fu Jingen was only twenty-two years old, but the child's attitude seemed to be in his thirties. Although he was very talented, his appearance was too mature.
Qi Xiangdi smiled and said, "This is not his true appearance. This child is really outstanding. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a perfect match with my niece."
Mantong was shocked and said, "It was actually a disguise? But this is too real, I didn't see the flaws."
Qi Xiangdi smiled and said, "If you can even see the flaws, can he stay in Hezhou City for half a month without being discovered?"
Man Tong smiled and said, "I think no one would have guessed that the imperial envoy would dress up as a middle-aged man and wander around the city. After He Meng was brought to justice, I must speak well with Lao Ning and the others, so that they would be shocked to their eyes."
"If you know, don't tell others. Otherwise, if this matter is spread, it will be difficult for Jingen to use this method to investigate the case in the future."
Man Tong nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't talk about it. Brother Qi, my friend Ning Xuekang and Yuan Yu are relatives. Do you think we should contact this Yuan Yu?"
Qi Xiangdi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll be suspicious when I go to contact you."
"Then find a safe reason."
Qi Xiangdi still did not agree and said, "When Jingen comes next time we will ask him for his opinion first. If he agrees, we will find a way to contact Yuan Yu."
Although Jingen is young and inexperienced, he is the responsibility of the case this time and they cannot overstep their affairs.
When Man Tong heard this, he felt a little too hasty: "Then let's wait a few more days."
Fu Jingen took Lao Ba out of the city and met with Ke Heng at the agreed place: "Are you okay along the way?"
Ke Heng smiled and said, "It's great. In the past, when he had to go to the destination within the specified time, he was traveling day and night; this time everyone was rushing to see the scenery while walking."
There was no way, Fu Jingen asked them to walk at the speed of an ordinary convoy, so they could only try to slow down.
Ke Heng asked, "When will we enter the city?"
"I'll go into the city after I wash up."
Ke Heng looked at Fu Jingen who walked out of the room and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fu, I really feel like you are becoming a living person."
Before entering the house, he was a rough man who was not particular about the details, and when he came out, he was a gentle and gentle nobleman. The two were obviously completely different in style, but when he dressed up, he didn't feel dissonant at all.
Fu Jingen smiled and said, "If you are interested, you can also let Lao Ba do it for you."
Ke Heng waved his hand and said, "No, I can't pretend."
The personal military camp was wearing all military uniforms, and the big formation attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
A man wearing a military general's uniform stepped forward and asked, "Is it the imperial envoy who came?"
Ke Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I will protect the imperial envoy from Hezhou on the order of His Royal Highness the Grandpa."
The military general's surname is Mao's name Dongfang, and he was one of He Mengdeli's subordinates. He walked to the carriage and said respectfully: "Sir, my general specially ordered the subordinates to wait for him here."
Fu Jingen said with a hint: "Wait until I go to the inn to wash up first before visiting General He."
He Meng is still very respectful to him in words.
Mao Dongfang was happy, but he did not bring it out: "Sir, my general has packed up the courtyard and hopes that he can enjoy the scenery."
Fu Jingnen said lightly: "This time I am here to investigate the bandits stealing weapons from the army by the order of the grandson. If I live in General He's mansion, I will be verbally rude."
When weapons were sold, He Meng, as the chief official, was responsible for the main responsibility. At this time, he lived in his house, and the censor knew that he would definitely study his book.
On the way to the inn, Ke Heng asked very politely: "Don't you know the name of a brother?"
He is a military officer of the fourth rank, and this person is only wearing a fifth rank official uniform, so he is polite to call the other party brother.
The man smiled and said, "My surname is Mao and my name is Dongfang."
Ke Heng also introduced himself and said, "Brother Mao, we heard many rumors about General He on the way here. He said that he was brave and good at fighting and wiped out many bandits, allowing the bandits to escape."
This was not something he made up for flattery. Since he entered the Anhui realm, he has heard many such rumors. After hearing it for a long time, Ke Heng suspected that these news were all spread by He Meng and his subordinates.
Mao Dongfang burst into a bright smile and said, "My general is indeed brave. He was also a contribution to the bandit suppression and then he was promoted step by step."
When he went to the post station, Mao Dongfang and Ke Heng praised: "I heard that the imperial envoy had great martial arts skills. He escorted the grandson from Luoyang to the capital with his own strength."
When Ke Heng heard this, he couldn't help but look very disdainful, but he said, "The imperial envoy is indeed very capable, otherwise the grandson would not be so favored."
It was just that Fu Jingen had the ability but did not respond to Mao Dongfang that he had good martial arts skills. His answer made Mao Dongfang realize it immediately. As expected, half of what he expected, the second-tier figures of both civil and military were all fooling people.
He was disdainful but did not show his face. He smiled and said, "I do have great skills, otherwise I would not have become a Shaoqing of Dali Temple at such a young age."
