191 Rebellion
Meng Hangâs heart was about to break when he heard his son cry. âItâs fine. Father will help you settle it.â
At this moment, Meng Zhi calmed down. He realized that he was already in prison. âYouâre already in prison. How can you settle it?â
âIf Father says thereâs a way, thereâs a way! Why? Donât you believe your father?â Meng Hang looked at his son unhappily.
âIf you have the ability, get out first!â Meng Zhi exposed Meng Hang mercilessly.
!!
They were already in jail, so what was there to talk about? Boohoo, he had to think about how to get out. He didnât want to die!
âLet me tell you, if you want to die, donât implicate me! I havenât lived enough!â Meng Zhi shouted at Meng Hang.
Meng Hang was furious. What had he been doing all his life for this good-for-nothing child! âYouâve been led astray by your mother! I have to kill that bitch!â
âNo!â Meng Zhi was the first to disagree. How could he? âWho do you think you are? I want to tell Uncle Lan!â
Uncle Lan? âWhoâs the one surnamed Lan?â Meng Hang sensed the meaning in Meng Zhiâs words and quickly asked.
âWhat does it have to do with you? Iâm going to complain!â Meng Zhi turned around and shook the prison door. âOpen up, open up! Iâm going to look for Uncle Lan!â
âYou unfilial son!â Meng Hang slapped Meng Zhiâs face hard.
Meng Zhi was dizzy from the beating. When he finally calmed down, Meng Hang said angrily to Meng Zhi, âLet me tell you, everyone can forget about living after being jailed.â
Meng Zhi was so angry that he was about to step forward and hit him. Meng Hang stopped spoiling him and kicked him hard.
Meng Zhi fainted again.
Subsequently, Meng Hang and the jailers suggested that he be separated from Meng Zhi.
What Meng Hang did not know was that Jiang Ying, who had not left, had seen his every move.
Just now, Jiang Ying had used the excuse of leaving to actually go to the other prison.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He saw everything and naturally heard Uncle Lan being mentioned by Meng Zhi.
After asking the jailers to send Meng Zhi to the prison next door, he left.
âJiang Ying, the Uncle Lan Meng Zhi he mentioned might be a very important person,â Ning Yue said.
When Meng Hang criticized Madam Lin, Meng Zhi had said that he wanted to look for Uncle Lan. Ning Yue was very curious about who this Uncle Lan was.
âI thought so too, so Iâll get someone to check later,â Jiang Ying said.
After returning to his residence, the first thing Jiang Ying did was get the guards to investigate Uncle Lan. The second thing was to investigate Madam Linâs interpersonal relationships.
Soon, Jiang Yingâs question was answered. The outcome of the guardâs return was unexpected.
âMeng Zhi is indeed not Meng Hangâs son!â Jiang Ying said.
âIâve already heard the Empress Dowager mention this, but after coming here to see them, I changed my mind,â Ning Yue said.
After coming here, she realized that things were not simple.
âThis person is an ordinary merchant. Thereâs nothing special about him, but after a deeper investigation, I realized that the business he does almost never loses money.â
It was very suspicious that ordinary merchants did not lose money.
Jiang Yingâs guards followed this line of investigation and realized that there were indeed some surprising results.
This personâs name was Lan Zhong, and he was from the same hometown as Madam Lin. They had been engaged for a long time, but Madam Lin was together with the Governor.
However, Lan Zhong and Madam Lin did not cut ties. After being together for so many years, they finally had a son.
When the Governor was with Madam Lin, he already knew that Lan Zhong and Madam Lin were engaged. In other words, it was very likely that he already knew that Meng Zhi was not his son. Since he knew, why did he still announce to the public that this was his son and he was born prematurely?
âNo matter what the reason is, it shouldnât be the most important thing. Iâm more curious about this Lan Zhong,â Jiang Ying said.
Unable to see anything important, Jiang Ying decided to look for Lan Zhong.
âIâll go with you,â Ning Yue said.
When she saw the guards investigating Lan Zhong, Ning Yue felt that she would see this person, so she concocted a forced confession potion herself.
She followed Jiang Ying to Lan Zhongâs house. Lan Zhong was shocked.
He knew Jiang Yingâs identity. Due to the commotion caused by the Governor a few days ago, he also knew who was investigating him.
He was still wondering how to save his son, but before he could think of a way, someone came looking for him.
