Feng Jue and Nie Xun remained silent.
Jiang Pengji said, "What danger could there be in Bogao? If you insist, let Officer Meng follow. "
"My lord …"
Li Yun hesitated and stole a glance at Meng Hun, who had a complicated look on his face. He took a step back.
Meng Hun cupped his fists at Li Yun, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Before leaving, Meng Heng looked at Jiang Pengji hesitantly with a pleading look in his eyes.
No matter how Meng Zhan treated him, they were father and son. Meng Heng could ignore Meng Zhan's life and death, but he didn't want to see him die.
But Jiang Pengji didn't agree.
"We are father and son. Send him on his way."
Meng Heng said, "Yes."
Nie Xun heard the conversation and felt a chill in his heart.
Was this person forcing Meng Heng to kill his own father?
Feng Jue said, "The dungeon is dark and damp. Why don't we get someone to bring the prisoner out?"
"No, I'll go see for myself. I haven't seen what the dungeon looks like."
Just as Feng Jue said, the environment in the dungeon was terrible. The air was filled with stinky water vapor and there were rats scurrying in the dark.
The temperature in the dungeon was much lower than outside. As soon as they stepped into the dungeon, a gust of chilly air hit them in the face, making them uncomfortable.
Jiang Pengji walked in front without changing her expression. Feng Jue led her to a relatively large and clean cell in the dungeon.
"Meng Zhan's life is not bad. I thought he would suffer a lot in the dungeon."
The area of the cell was very large, about a hundred square meters.
There was a mattress, a tea table, a dining table, and a bowl.
Feng Jue asked the cell to open the door. The commotion alerted Meng Zhan in the cell.
When he heard Jiang Pengji's voice, he guessed who it was.
It was funny. He had hated Liu She and his daughter for many years and had been thinking of ways to take revenge, but he hadn't even seen the person in question.
"Uncle Meng, this is the first time we've met, right?"
Jiang Pengji gestured for Feng Jue and the others to step back and avoid her conversation with Meng Zhan. Only Meng Hun stayed by her side to protect her.
Meng Zhan's white hair was combed neatly. His cheeks were washed with warm water. There was no grease or dirt. He looked much more energetic than before. But he had aged too fast. His face was an unhealthy gray color and his eyes were sunken. He looked old and pitiful.
Although he wasn't in good spirits, his appearance was well.
A jade crown hung high above his head, and a jet-green scholarly robe was worn on his body. His back was straight, and one could barely see the scholarly elegance of his youth.
Meng Zhan raised his head and squinted his eyes. He looked at Jiang Pengji carefully. "How dare you call me Uncle Meng?"
"Although Uncle Meng has cut off all ties with my father, you are my aunt's ex-husband. Calling him uncle is a courtesy that a junior should have."
"Zhan, Zhan, I said," Jiang is Peng Zhan be. is. "Jiang Meng Zhan."
"Meng" Meng be, "Meng Meng said," Meng, said, "Was She. is. was. "As her son, how could I not be angry? He was my father's second wife and my mother's sister. "She was not only my father's second wife, but she was also my mother's sister. I couldn't let your son bully her. "Besides, Meng Zhan and his friends used disguise to sneak into the backyard of the people in Hejian. They raped innocent women. Meng Zhan deserved to die."
Meng Zhan's expression changed when Gu Zhen was mentioned, but he quickly calmed down.
"So what? My son is naughty. He just needs to change. I, his father, will teach him a lesson. "
Meng Zhan and his friends used disguise to sneak into other people's backyard to bully women. It was nothing new. Meng Zhan had cleaned up his mess for him many times. He was angry at his son's behavior, but what could he do? He was the only child in the family. Who else could he protect if not him?
Jiang Pengji was so angry that she laughed. "Did you say something in the living room?"
Meng Zhan raised his eyebrows. "What?"
"If you can't discipline your son, don't blame others for teaching him a lesson. I thought Meng Zhan was hopeless, so I sent him on his way. Do you know how I killed Meng Zhan? I cut open his wrist and let him bleed to death. "
Even though Meng Zhan had a good temperament, he couldn't hold back his anger when the enemy who killed his son talked about how he killed his son.
"Are you angry?" Jiang Pengji smiled. "I have more to say. Do you want to hear it?"
Meng Zhan sneered. "You are indeed the daughter of Liu She and Gu Min. Gu Zhen's stepdaughter. You are indeed vicious and shameless."
"I am no match for you. If I had ten percent of Uncle Meng's skills, I would have no regrets."
The atmosphere was tense. Meng Hun stared at Meng Zhan, his former boss, with murderous eyes. He didn't expect Meng Zhan to not repent after so many years. Meng Zhan's son was a son, but his wife and children were not human?
"Liu Lanting, did you come here just to argue with me?" Meng Zhan sneered. His face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were full of vigor. "If this is all you've got, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me."
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and sat opposite Meng Zhan.
She said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid Uncle Meng can't take it."
Meng Zhan's face darkened.
Meng Heng and the others stood far away. They couldn't hear what Jiang Pengji and Meng Zhan were saying, but the atmosphere was worrisome.
"Uncle Meng, you have a problem with your body. It's hard for you to impregnate a woman, right?"
Jiang Pengji changed her sitting posture and sneered indifferently.
"What are you trying to say?"
"This is related to a man's dignity. Of course, I have to keep it a secret. Apart from you and your trusted doctor, no one else knows about it." Jiang Pengji ignored him and continued, "When my aunt married you, she was ambushed by a group of bandits. She was saved in the end, and the wedding went on as planned. However, the bride didn't bleed that night. Uncle Meng helped to cover it up. "
Meng Zhan could listen calmly at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Only he knew the details of what happened that year, but Jiang Pengji described it in detail as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"After a month, my aunt was found to be pregnant. She got pregnant on the night of her wedding. Uncle Meng was not confident because of his health. You also saw my aunt being intimate with someone, so you started to doubt the lineage of the baby in her womb … "
Meng Zhan interrupted her with a cold smile.
"It's not doubt. Meng Heng, that bastard, is not mine." He would never forget the shame of being cuckolded. His new wife had an affair with someone else. He suddenly sighed. "It's a pity …"
Jiang Pengji frowned. "What's a pity?"
Meng Zhan's face flashed with fierceness. "It's a pity that the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women was published too late. If it was 20 or 30 years earlier …"
Before the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women was published, society was still very open.
It was not a big deal for a woman to keep a man. Losing her virginity before marriage was not a serious matter. At most, people would gossip about her, but it would not kill her.
