Chapter 93 Chapter Five Montessori Tribulation

An assassination plot was smashed, and Yingzheng rewarded him for his meritorious service. The doctor Xia Wuqie was the first to be recommended, and he gave him two hundred yi in gold, saying: "Wuqiu loves me, and throws Jingke with a medicine bag!" Rewards will be given depending on the severity of the injury.His Royal Highness Lang Guan who kills Jing Ke will also be rewarded. After discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, it is time to discuss crimes and punishments.Meng Jia's introduction of Jing Ke to Ying Zheng is undoubtedly the culprit.Meng Jia also knew that the crime was unforgivable, and he was terrified, but he couldn't think of any countermeasures, so he just closed the door and didn't see anyone.

In fact, not only Meng Jia was afraid, but the whole Meng Mansion was also in a panic.The law of the Qin State has always been cruel and merciless, the crimes committed by Meng Jia should be punished according to the law.Even though the Meng family is the most prominent noble family in the Qin Kingdom, they will inevitably be wiped out this time. Old man Meng Ao has passed away for many years, and now Meng Wu has become Meng's parent.Seeing that Meng Jia adopted the ostrich strategy and couldn't shrink back, he felt angry and hated: because of your stupid decision, the entire Meng family was implicated.What's the use of you hiding?Can hiding solve the problem?

In desperation, Meng Wu had no choice but to ask Ting Wei Li Si for help.Li Si said bluntly, "The matter has come to this, and the life of the bastard may not be guaranteed." Meng Wudao, "Meng Jia's crime deserves death. I just pity the lives of more than 300 people in the Meng family, what should I do?" Li Si sighed, "There is nothing Li can do to help. Li is an officer in the court, so he can only sit in accordance with the law and dare not defend him." Meng Wu knelt and wept, "If Tingwei can be fulfilled, no one in the Meng family will dare to forget Tingwei's life-saving grace."

Li Si quickly helped him up and asked, "What does the general want Li to do?" Meng Wu hesitated to write, there seemed to be something unspeakable.It was really difficult for him to say some things to Li Si. Li Sidao, "Could it be that the general wants Li to meet the concubine?" Meng Wu was told that he was breaking his mind, but instead he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Do you want to do it, Lieutenant Ting?" Li Si said, "I would like to see the concubine." Meng Wu was overjoyed and welcomed Li Si into the mansion.Although Meng Jia stayed behind closed doors, when he heard that Li Si was visiting, he couldn't see him either.One reason is that Li Si has a high position and authority, and is the most important to Yingzheng. In his own case, Li Si has a decisive say.Er Zemeng Jia secretly had a little luck in his heart, Li Si visited alone, maybe something good would happen.

Seeing that Meng Jia was in a state of desolation, Li Si obviously suffered a lot in the past few days, but he didn't offer any condolences, and said straight away, "Your crime, do you think you can save it?" Meng Jia's face turned pale immediately, and he murmured, "It can't be saved." Li Si said again, "You are a concubine, and it is your duty to introduce envoys from the Kingdom of Yan to your majesty. Even if Jing Ke harbored evil intentions and assassinated your majesty, your crime is nothing more than negligence, not death. But it should never be done. You shouldn't accept bribes from Jing Ke. This is a big taboo of the king. What does this mean? It means that when you make a decision, you don't consider the interests of Da Qin first, but you are greedy for your own self-interest. Such a minister, don't kill for what?"

Meng Jia bowed his head and remained silent.He wished he could get his thousand gold back, as long as he could get his life back. Li Si stared at Meng Jia, and said in a cold voice, "Li and Mengshi have a deep friendship. There are some things that are not convenient for you to say among your own family members, but I, an outsider, have to say them. Mengshi can have today's status Harmony and power are not easy to come by. The two children, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, both have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. In the future, they will definitely not be things in the pool. The old general will not be able to rest his eyes when he is in the ground. For the present plan, instead of waiting for the king to commit a crime and bring disaster to the whole family, it is better to commit suicide and apologize, and the Meng family may have a chance to preserve it. You should think about it."

Meng Jia burst into tears.What Li Si said was straightforward enough, he wanted him to kill himself.Perhaps, the entire Meng Mansion is expecting him to kill himself, so as not to hurt the whole family. Camus said that suicide is one of the most serious philosophical problems.For Mengjia, suicide is the simplest arithmetic problem.It is better to die alone than to die with the whole family.Meng Jia felt miserable, but he had no choice but to kneel down and thank Li Sidao, "Lucky for Tingwei's teaching." Meng Wu was pacing anxiously outside the door, when he saw Li Si going out, he rushed to meet him.The two exchanged glances, and Li Si nodded.Meng Wu knew that Meng Jia was gone, and his brother was gone.

Meng Wu let out a long sigh, with a sad expression on his face, but he seemed relieved, and according to Li Si's plan, he sealed up the thousand gold and ordered all the people in Meng's mansion to wear prison clothes, not to drink or eat, and to be punished in the mansion. Li Si went to see Ying Zheng and told Meng Jia to be dead.Seeing that Meng Jia was dead, Ying Zheng's anger gradually subsided, and he became friends with Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers since childhood, and he couldn't bear to take their lives, so he issued an edict, "Meng Jia is stupid and doesn't distinguish evil from evil. Since he committed suicide and apologized, The widow pardoned the rest of the Montessori people because they didn't know about it."

Mengshi was saved because of Yingzheng's grace, but Li Si's coming forward to save them also made them very grateful.Since then, the relationship between the two Meng and Li families has become closer.
