Chapter 243 The relationship is very close.

When Lu Shaoyu heard this, he opened his eyes and glanced at Su Mingjue, "He can show you something as personal as a family letter. It seems that the relationship between you two is very close!"

Su Mingjue smiled stiffly when he heard this. To be honest, it was at this moment that he suddenly realized that Meng Helan trusted him so much.

He flipped through the letters in his hand, checking the dates and senders, and finally found a few letters with the latest dates and opened them.

The above content mostly talks about the customs and customs outside the customs, occasionally mixed with some good news and experiences of the war. It can be seen that although the two of them are in Hemenguan, they care a lot about Meng Helan.

Judging from the date of the letter, this letter was also written very diligently. Considering the distance between Helan Mountain and the capital, it would take almost twenty days to send a letter to the capital, which means that on average, there is a letter home every month.

Seeing that Su Mingjue was fascinated, Lu Shaoyu asked, "Have you discovered anything?"

Su Mingjue shook his head, "The above are just commonplace words, no..."

As he said, Su Mingjue was surprised to find that Meng Guogong had actually explained His daily life.

Meng Helan said that he was always curious about what they were doing at Yumen Pass, so he mentioned a few sentences at the end of the letter about yesterday's itinerary.

From Mao o'clock, he went to the military camp for training. From Chen o'clock to Si o'clock, he handled the official affairs of the military camp. Fang Hui.

My father has a busy day, and he is dedicated to this. It is a matter of great importance to the country, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I dare not relax even a little bit. Although you are far away in the capital and have not joined the army, as the son of the Meng family, you must not slack off. You need to be diligent and studious. Only in this way can you be successful. Be successful and serve the people as an official.

Maybe he felt that what he said was too strict, so he added humorously at the end that he owed a lot of food to the wealthy businessman during his trip yesterday, and added a few more favors to his father's account book.

This letter was written with sincerity, and Su Mingjue was deeply moved. Such a veteran who served the country and the people was unfortunately spared.

Su Mingjue recovered her thoughts and handed over the letter, "Meng Guo's official letter stated some things. Master Lu, let's see if we can find out some clues."

After hearing this, Lu Shaoyu reached out to take it and saw the details listed above. After reading the contents, he put the letter away with a solemn expression, "I will try to verify the things in the letter, and that's all for today!"

...

Haishi, Tianlao.

Lu Shaoyu dressed in black and entered, and the guards lit up the dark prison with fire, which also woke up Meng Helan.

Meng Helan opened her sleepy eyes and looked outside the prison with vertical rods nailed on it. Lu Shaoyu, dressed in black, was sitting on an armchair with a calm expression on his face.

He yawned and was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, but was invited out.

Lu Shaoyu glanced at the disheveled and disheveled man in front of him and said, "I have something to ask you. Did you know that your father has an accounting book?"

Meng Helan scratched his head with his hand, blew on it and said, "Mr. Lu I don't understand what you said."

Lu Shaoyu said: "I have already been to the Meng Mansion. In the correspondence between you and Duke Meng, he mentioned an accounting book. Do you know about this?"

Meng Helan did not interpret the other party's words when he heard this. Hearing this, he said in a casual tone: "It doesn't matter if you know or don't know."

The guard next to him listened and grabbed him instantly, "Mr. Meng, I advise you to speak carefully. If the thirty-eight punishments of Dali Temple are If I eat them all for you, your mouth should not be as hard as it is now."

Meng Helan said indifferently: "Then go ahead! Our Meng family is loyal and we will not give in to a fight."

The guard heard this. , directly kicked his abdomen with her feet, shouted loudly, but whispered: "Mr. Meng has offended many people. My Lord Lu is ordered to investigate the case. The case of Mr. Meng needs to be vindicated. If you can cooperate, you will No need to worry about it."

Meng Helan didn't speak when he heard this. He was thinking about the authenticity of this person's words.

His grandmother warned him to stay calm. The more panicked he is, the calmer he should be.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the guard added another sentence, "Young Master Su has been working for Mr. Meng. That letter was given to you by Mr. Su. He has already led us into the secret passage of the Orchid Courtyard."

When Meng Helan heard this, he gave up a lot . Worrying, he may not believe others, but Su Mingjue trusts him, and he knows that he has always been good.

From the moment he risked his own life to rescue Baili Xi from the water, he knew that Su Mingjue's heart was as bright and holy as the bright moon.

Seeing that he was hesitating, the guard knew that the other party had listened to his words. He tightened the other party's neck and pretended to hit him while he quickly stuffed the paper into Meng Helan's hand and said softly: "Mr. Meng wants to say If you want, you can write it on this piece of paper and give it to the person who delivers the meal when you are eating."

After saying that, he let go and said, "Mr. Meng, things are different these days. It's better for you to be softer."

Lu Shaoyu. He stood aside and watched them finish the fight, and then said: "You should think carefully about some things before talking about it. This collusion with King Guangchang to rebel is a serious crime that affects the nine clans. It is a blessing from His Majesty Shengming to send me to investigate the case. If you If you cooperate, I will ask your majesty for a decree to protect you foreigners from exile."

After saying that, Lu Shaoyu waved his sleeves and left.

After Meng Helan was injured for a while, he curled up in the prison and slept with his eyes squinted, but his mind was running rapidly.

Thinking of the accounting book they were talking about, he thought of the blue-backed leather book his father carried with him. It was used by his father to record military expenditures. It was not very detailed, but would just note some information so that he could know the military expenditures. It is easy to manage, and detailed records will be recorded by a dedicated bookkeeper.

Of course, there will also be some things he borrowed from others. If he guessed correctly, this is what Lu Shaoyu was talking about just now.

He remembered that he had seen it before, and said with a smile: The dignified Duke Meng Guo could not think of using money to search for money, and even the account books were well hidden.

At that time, his father

put it away with a serious face, put it under the bed board, and told him: "Although this book is just a record of some of my personal accounts, you must keep it safe. If it is discovered by the enemy, , that would delay the opportunity to fight. "

If you want to hide outside the customs, this is the place.

As for the collusion that Lu Shaoyu said at the end, and the mention of King Guangchang, it is possible that those people had their father and King Guangchang together.

The Meng family had a heavy army and had always avoided people from the royal family. , so as not to involve partisanship, but unexpectedly, he did not escape being framed in the end.

According to his father's temperament, he would definitely not have any dealings with King Guangchang. He secretly thought that there must be a lot of forged evidence. Rather than proving it himself, it would be more useful to verify the authenticity of the evidence in person.

Thinking of this, he bit his finger and wrote a few lines in the dark.

When the people on patrol saw his disheveled look, they just said that he was still unaccustomed to being a noble prince and being turned into a prisoner.

He chuckled lightly, thinking that he was the noble young master back then!

He laughed, locked the cell door and walked out, yawned, and found a place to sleep.

...

The next day, while eating, Meng Helan took the opportunity to cause trouble and stuffed the note in his hand.
