Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Tears on the Great Wall

After half a month of searching, Deputy General Pang and Meng Jiangnu finally found a clue about Fan Xiliang at a place on the Great Wall. Vice General Pang found Fan Xiliang's name on the local roster.Just when Meng Jiangnu was secretly excited, the local officer in charge told them that Fan Xiliang had died of illness three months ago. After Meng Jiangnv heard it, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Although she had already made psychological preparations, when the sad news came true, she still couldn't bear it. She only felt dizzy in her brain.Seeing that Meng Jiangnu was staggering and about to fall, Deputy General Pang hurriedly reached out to support her, and comforted her: "Are you okay, the matter has come to an end, the girl should take care of herself."

Meng Jiangnv regained her composure and took a deep breath, but the sadness in her heart was still uncontrollable. She just felt weak all over her body, as if she was about to float up.Holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes, she said to the local military officer, "General, I want to see his cemetery." "Okay, come with me." The officer led Meng Jiangnu to a small tree beside the Great Wall.The officer pointed to the little tree and said, "Girl, when those who build the Great Wall die, they will be buried under the Great Wall they built. Fan Xiliang is buried here, and this little tree is the mark."

Meng Jiangnv looked at the little tree affectionately, as if she was looking at her husband, the tears in her eyes could not be held back any longer, and fell down.She leaned on the city wall and sat down slowly, untied the small burden on her body, and took out a faded red hijab. "Husband, this is the red hijab I wore on the day we got married. Who would have thought that you would be arrested before you could take off my hijab that day. I have been carrying it for ten years, thinking of seeing you, Be sure to put it on and let you peel it off with your own hands." Meng Jiangnu put on a red hijab for herself. She tried her best to hold back the tears, but the tears poured out endlessly.

"Husband, let's worship each other as husband and wife." Meng Jiangnu cried and bowed to the little tree. Everyone saw that their eyes were sour and their throats were choked. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the little tree was blown down, and the branches picked up the red hijab.Everyone stared wide-eyed and wondered if Fan Xiliang's spirit had manifested. Meng Jiangnv was already in tears. She stroked the bricks of the Great Wall and said, "My lord, you really uncovered the ghost of the Great Wall." My hijab, you must be able to see my appearance and hear my voice! If tearing down the Great Wall can bring you back to life, I will definitely do so without hesitation, husband, please answer me..."

That night, it rained heavily around the Great Wall, as if the heavens were also moved to tears by Meng Jiangnu.At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the work shed. Everyone was startled by the loud noise. A brave peasant went out to have a look, and immediately shouted outside: "The Great Wall has collapsed!" It's gone! The Great Wall has collapsed!" Just when the peasants were in a mess, a group of people wearing coir raincoats and holding hoes sneaked away in the dark, led by the "Longxi Sansha".Seeing that he was done, Di Sha took out a carrier pigeon from his bosom and let it fly. The carrier pigeon flew into the dark night despite the heavy rain...

Zhao Gao received the letter from Feige sent by Longxi Sansha. After reading it, an evil smile appeared on his face, and his trick finally succeeded. In fact, the collapse of the Great Wall was caused by Zhao Gao who asked Longxi Sansha to take the people from the Zhongyi Pavilion to destroy it. He thought up this plan to destroy Meng Tian who was in charge of the construction of the Great Wall. After receiving the news, Zhao Gao hurried to report to Emperor Qin.At this time, Emperor Qin was reviewing the memorial, Zhao Gao quietly walked up to Emperor Qin, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to write..."

Qin Huang raised his head, glanced at Zhao Gao, and said, "What's the matter with you, please tell me." Zhao Gao glanced around, and whispered: "Yes, Your Majesty. I just received a secret report that Meng Tian supervised the construction of the Great Wall, cut corners and created a 'tofu dregs' project." "Tofu dregs project?" Qin Huang was very puzzled when he heard this word for the first time. "Oh, back to Your Majesty, it's just a substandard project. It rained heavily the night before, and a section of the Great Wall actually collapsed!"

"What, you mean the Great Wall has collapsed!" "Report to His Majesty, yes." "This is impossible. The person in charge of building the Great Wall is Meng Tian, ​​a general of the dynasty. He is a famous general of three generations of Meng Tian's family. He is a person who is trusted by others. This is impossible!" "If not, how could that rain have washed down the Great Wall?" "Meng Tian is the pillar of the country, this matter should not be hasty, and I will personally ask about it when I go to court tomorrow." Emperor Qin said in disbelief.

After the Great Wall collapsed, Deputy General Pang knew that the matter was of great importance, so he rushed back to Meng Tian's barracks overnight. Meng Tian was extremely surprised after hearing the report from Deputy General Pang. Dare to cut corners, there must be something wrong with this matter.In order to investigate the matter clearly, Meng Tian rode his sweaty BMW to the place where the Great Wall collapsed overnight. Vice General Pang was left by Meng Tian to be in charge of the affairs of the barracks. After thinking about it, Vice General Pang felt that to solve this matter, they still needed the help of one person, that is Yi Xiaochuan.

Deputy General Pang hurried to the palace to discuss countermeasures with Xiao Chuan.After hearing this, Xiao Chuan exclaimed in surprise: "How could such a thing happen?" "My lord, what do you think we should do?" Deputy General Pang asked anxiously. "I don't think this is easy to handle. How could the Great Wall collapse suddenly? In this way, Meng Tian will suffer disaster!" "That's right, so the end general asked Mr. Yi to quickly find a way to help General Meng. The news will reach Xianyang at dawn, and by then it will be too late!"

"This..." It happened so suddenly, they had only one way: ask Yu Shu to intercede with Emperor Qin, so that they could delay the time to find the evidence and turn the tide. The two immediately went to see Yu Shu and explained the situation to her. Yu Shu agreed to go to the palace immediately to see Emperor Qin and intercede for Meng Tian.Only then did Xiao Chuan and Deputy General Pang let go of their hearts. The nurse hid in a corner and heard their conversation, and immediately reported it to the queen.The queen thought for a moment, and ordered the nurse to do this and that. Xiaoyue was busy dressing and dressing Yushu, when suddenly the nanny came in with a few maids, grabbed Xiaoyue and took her away, leaving only the nanny to stare at Yushu.Yu Shu was very surprised, she rushed out the door, opened the door but saw the queen standing at the door. The queen forced Yushu back into the house, and she asked Yushu to stay in the palace, remain neutral, and not interfere in the struggle of the Daqin court. Yu Shu was in a hurry, it was related to the lives of hundreds of people, as well as Meng Tian who had saved her. The queen smiled faintly, it was because of Meng Tian that she was not allowed to go.Meng Tian was a pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty, marching and fighting, invincible.She wanted to get rid of this person wholeheartedly, since Yu Shu couldn't do it, this time, she happened to use someone else's hand to get rid of him. Yushu still insisted on leaving, the queen drew out the knife and put it on her neck. The queen asked Yushu to think clearly: what is good for Daqin is harmful to Tu'an. As long as Yushu dares to go out of this door, she will kill herself. Yushu took a step forward, and the queen's knife pierced her neck, and blood flowed down. Yushu fell to his knees and begged his mother to stop. Xiaochuan and Vice General Pang were waiting outside, but they couldn't wait for Yushu to come out.He went to ask to see him again, but was blocked by Tuan's attendants. Deputy General Pang was in a hurry and called out to Concubine Yushu, but no one answered.Ogawa knew something was wrong and had to find another way.Xiao Chuan was lost in thought, Deputy General Pang was walking up and down in a hurry, the sky was about to dawn, what should I do! The morning light gradually shone into Xiao Chuan's room. Xiao Chuan sat in front of the desk and thought hard, while Vice General Pang walked back and forth in the room with a sad face.Seeing that the sky was about to dawn outside, Deputy General Pang said anxiously: "It's almost dawn, Mr. Yi, what should we do?" Xiao Chuan was still thinking hard with his eyes closed, and did not answer. "General Meng must have been plotted against. God must have eyes. Those loyal souls resting under the Great Wall must be able to witness it!" "God? Loyal soul?" Xiaochuan's eyes opened suddenly, "Wait a minute, I thought of it!" At this time, a very famous historical myth - "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" entered Yi Xiaochuan's mind.He hastily asked Deputy General Pang, "Then Meng Jiangnu found her husband, Fan Xiliang?" "Why did your lord suddenly ask about this matter? Alas, Miss Meng's life is miserable. Her husband Fan Xiliang died three months ago. Miss Meng was crying so sadly on the edge of the city wall..." "General Meng is saved! Let's go to Juxian Hall now." Xiao Chuan immediately dragged Deputy General Pang to Juxian Hall. When Xiao Chuan came to Juxian Hall, Xiang Yu was practicing in the courtyard. He didn't know about the collapse of the Great Wall yet. Seeing Xiao Chuan coming in a hurry, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chuan, what's the rush to visit at this time?" "Brother, before dawn, I want you to mobilize the people of Juxian Hall to help me spread a message in Xianyang City, and everyone must know it." After Xiao Chuan finished speaking, he told Xiang Yu and Vice Admiral Pang about his plan. Xiang Yu and Vice Admiral Pang immediately started to split up after listening. It was already dawn, and Meng Tian brought all the soldiers to the Great Wall to investigate. Although Meng Tian was very anxious at this time, he still maintained his usual calmness.Just as Meng Tian and the others were walking towards the Great Wall, there was a burst of heart-piercing cries in the distance. Meng Tian and others followed the sound. In front of the collapsed Great Wall, everyone saw Meng Jiangnv kneeling by the wall and weeping for her husband.Many militiamen and soldiers watched from the sidelines, and were deeply moved by it. Meng Tian couldn't help feeling sore in his heart, he stepped forward and asked, "Meng Jiangnu, why are you crying here?" "My lord, I finally found my husband, and he was buried under this cold stone. I kneel here day and night and beg God to open his eyes, so that I can find his bones and bring them back to my hometown." Meng Jiangnu cried. Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "No wonder the Great Wall suddenly collapsed. It turned out that God was moved by Meng Jiangnu and wanted to return her husband!" Meng Tian looked at the servant who was speaking, and found that this person was actually the Three Treasures in disguise, he was secretly startled, and pondered calmly. What Sanbao said really caused a lot of repercussions, and the crowd immediately boiled up. Everyone believed what Sanbao said, and Sanbao continued to shout: "This is God's will! God's will cannot be violated! The villain kowtowed to God! Everyone together Kowtow!" The soldiers and militiamen were all infected, they rushed forward one after another, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, Meng Tian looked at the situation in front of him, he had already understood something in his heart, at this moment, an accompanying officer asked Meng Tian: " My lord, what do you think about this?" "I will tell Your Majesty about this change. Since it is God's will, we should treat it respectfully." After Meng Tian finished speaking, he walked towards the collapsed Great Wall. At the foot of the Great Wall, he suddenly found some chaotic footprints. After investigating, he finally found that the gravel under his feet was actually smashed by a sharp weapon. Meng Tian suddenly realized, and said in his heart: It seems that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! At the same time, in Xianyang City, people from Juxian Hall spread a message everywhere: "Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall for her husband last night!" The people in Xianyang are already familiar with the story of Meng Jiangnu, and they heard that she actually cried down the Great Wall. Moved by some infatuation, word of mouth immediately spread. Xiaochuan also recruited a group of children to teach them to sing nursery rhymes, and spread the songs everywhere in Xianyang City. "Meng Jiangnv, Meng Jiangnv, sought her husband for ten years and traveled thousands of miles, but she never found Xiliang; Meng Jiangnv, Meng Jiangnv, cried down the Great Wall and shocked the world, and the mountains and rivers wept like rain..." All the officials heard the children's songs on the way to court, and they couldn't help but stop and ask. After hearing this, they were all deeply moved by Meng Jiangnu's story. Above the court, Li Si started to attack Meng Tian under the instigation of Zhao Gao.Li Si stepped out of the train and respectfully said to Emperor Qin: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach General Meng Tian today. He failed to supervise the construction of the Great Wall, bent the law for personal gain, corrupted the law, and caused the Great Wall to collapse!" When Li Si made a statement, Zhao Gao was secretly proud of himself, he thought, this old guy Meng Tian can't escape now. "Father, General Meng also heard that the Great Wall collapsed, and has already gone to investigate. Maybe there are other reasons, we still need to investigate clearly before making a conclusion." Fu Su couldn't bear his master to be so slandered, and hurriedly defended Meng Tian. "No matter what caused the collapse of the Great Wall, Meng Tian, ​​as the supervisor, cannot escape the blame!" Qin Huang said angrily. Li Si and Zhao Gao looked at the situation in front of them, they were secretly happy, they said silently in their hearts: Meng Tian is done playing this time.While the two were enjoying themselves, Meng Tian's old friend Master Zhou stepped out of the train and said to Emperor Qin: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I heard that this accident was caused by Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall!" When Qin Huang heard it, he said in surprise: "What did you say? There is such a thing?" Zhao Gao jumped up anxiously when he heard this, and opened his mouth and said, "Meng Jiangnu? That's a fairy tale! You guys are talking nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, Qin Huang glared at him, Zhao Gao was so frightened that he immediately backed away.At this moment, Li Si hurriedly said: "Master Zhao is right, it is nonsense to cry down the Great Wall." "Your Majesty, not only the ministers, but also the people of Xianyang have spread the word, saying that this is God's will! Even ignorant children have sung nursery rhymes!" Master Zhou said firmly. All the adults also echoed: "Your Majesty, it is true, and the ministers have also heard about it." Emperor Qin was still a bit skeptical, at this moment, a guard hurriedly went up to the hall and said: "Qi Zou, Meng Tian's deputy general has brought a hundred miles of urgent documents to come to have an audience." Deputy General Pang walked up to the hall holding a roll of bamboo slips high, and knelt down in front of the Emperor Qin: "I see your Majesty!" "What is in your hand?" "Your Majesty, Meng Jiangnu cried so much that the Great Wall collapsed because of her husband's death. The local officials, soldiers, and common people witnessed this incident and jointly wrote this long scroll of thousands of people to plead for Meng Jiangnu's life. I beg Your Majesty to honor Meng Jiangnu's loyalty!" As soon as Deputy General Pang finished speaking, all the ministers expressed their approval one after another, while Li Si and Zhao Gao were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. At this moment, Fu Su stepped forward and said, "Father, there are so many witnesses on this matter, don't There will be a fake! The sons and ministers also praise the father, why not set up a stone tablet beside the Great Wall to praise Meng Jiangnu, and let the world know the benevolence of the father." Qin Huang was finally persuaded, nodded and said: "What Fusu said is very true. This matter is in accordance with the time and harmony of people. It is a great thing. Fusu, I will leave it to you to handle it as soon as possible!" "Your servant obeys the order!" Fusu finally felt relieved at this point. But Zhao Gao and Li Si were gnashing their teeth with hatred, their trick failed again, they had to wait for another chance to defeat Meng Tian and others.
