Chapter 469 Imprisonment
"Meng Wanli, do you have any evidence?" Emperor Cangxuan asked.
Meng Wanli kowtowed and said, "Yes, I have evidence."
As she spoke, she took out the recipe for the longevity pill and the ingredients, silver flower seeds.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called Silver Flower Seed, which is the main raw material for refining the Longevity Pill. It was this thing that destroyed the fishing lake in Anzhou, causing the people of Anzhou to have no fish to catch for three years and no livelihood."
She then took out another letter and said, "These are the correspondence between my grandfather Meng Huaran and his master. They clearly record the process of Meng Huaran refining the longevity elixir for him."
Why did He Bi step forward and present all the evidence in Meng Wanli's hands to Emperor Cangxuan? After Emperor Huaxuan had seen it, he indicated that He Bi should pass the items on to the ministers for them to see.
The ministers gasped incessantly as they watched.
For Meng Huaran and Meng Zhenxiao, it was like the sky had fallen.
They never expected that Meng Wanli would suddenly appear at this time, not only refusing to help them but also suing them.
However, this is only the beginning.
Because the next moment, Shangguan Jian walked out.
"Your Majesty, I also have a complaint to file," Shangguan Jian said.
Emperor Cangxuan nodded, his expression softening instantly, and said, "General Shangguan, please speak."
Then Shangguan Jian said, "I want to accuse the Meng family of using a substitute to scheme against my son's marriage."
The person who was betrothed to my son was the eldest daughter of the Meng family, but the Meng family lied to me, saying that the eldest daughter had contracted a serious illness and could not come to the capital.
They even said they would marry their second wife's daughter to my son.
Your Majesty, the person I was betrothed to was Meng Zhenzhong. Although Meng Zhenzhong is dead, my son and I have always kept our promise and honored our marriage.
Unexpectedly, the Meng family intends to arbitrarily replace me, placing me in a position of injustice and immorality. I am truly wronged! I beg Your Majesty to make a decision.”
Meng Wanli secretly glanced in Shangguan Jian's direction.
That was the father of the man she was betrothed to, the mighty God of War of the Southwest, Shangguan Jian.
If the marriage goes through, he will be her father-in-law.
Emperor Cangxuan snorted coldly and said, "General Shangguan, now that you mention it, I also remember that Meng Huaran said the same thing to me a couple of days ago."
He said his eldest daughter couldn't come to the capital, so his second daughter would have to take her place in the marriage; it turned out to be a conspiracy.
"Meng Huaran, Meng Huaran, I am unworthy to be a grandfather. You even scheme against your own granddaughter."
Meng Huaran's face twisted as he looked coldly at Meng Wanli. "Wanli, who taught you to say these things? Why did you bring these false pieces of evidence here to frame your own grandfather and second uncle?"
Do you know that every crime you've mentioned is a capital offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family?
Meng Huaran was determined not to admit it.
Meng Wanli looked at him, meeting his threatening and warning gaze, and said, "Grandfather, why are you still unwilling to admit it? Every word Wanli said is true."
Not only that, the granddaughter also wanted to accuse her grandmother of killing the entire Zhuang family. Fortunately, some members of the Zhuang family survived, allowing her to appeal her innocence.
After watching the show for a while, the Crown Prince said at the opportune moment: "Father, I can attest that everything Miss Meng said is true."
The Zhuang family massacre was extremely brutal; only three out of eleven family members survived.
"Oh? Can you summon the person?" Emperor Cangxuan said.
The Crown Prince agreed. A moment later, Ying Yufu walked in, followed by a pretty and delicate girl, Zhuang Cuiluo.
"Why is Princess Anguo here?"
Some people are puzzled.
Meng Huaran and Meng Zhenxiao also looked in the direction of the footsteps. The first person they saw was not Ying Yufu, but Zhuang Cuiluo.
Almost simultaneously, the pupils of both father and son contracted.
Zhuang Cuiluo, how is she still alive?
Then, Meng Huaran suddenly stared at Ying Yufu, "You, you are...?"
They had just left Anzhou City when a caravan blocked their way. Two girls approached them and struck up a conversation, one of whom was this girl.
She was actually Princess Anguo!
In an instant, Meng Huaran understood everything.
The Anzhou Uprising actually began on that day.
Even Princess Anguo was in that group, so who else was with them that day?
He looked at the Crown Prince.
The crown prince smiled kindly at him and said, "I disguised myself as a foreign merchant that day."
Meng Huaran looked dejected, her body went limp, and she almost couldn't hold on any longer.
Zhuang Cuiluo then knelt down and pleaded, "This commoner, Zhuang Cuiluo, greets Your Majesty. Your Majesty, this commoner wishes to accuse the Meng family of killing my entire family..."
She explained the whole story in detail.
Meng Huaran's lips moved, and just then, Ming Zhiyuan spoke up: "Lord Meng, stop struggling. Princess Anguo and His Highness the Crown Prince have investigated everything we did."
"Ming Zhiyuan, you!" Meng Huaran was furious.
Akira lowered his head again, looking utterly dejected.
Emperor Cangxuan said, "Meng Huaran's crime should have resulted in the extermination of his entire clan, but since the Crown Prince's wedding is imminent, and considering the marriage agreement between Meng Zhenzhong and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, I hereby grant a special pardon to his entire clan, and only three clans will be exterminated."
"Remove Meng Huaran and Meng Zhenxiao from their official positions, confiscate the Meng family's property, and immediately imprison them in the imperial prison. They will be executed after the Crown Prince's wedding."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The officials shouted in unison.
Meanwhile, in the largest restaurant in the imperial city.
Meng Dongpei sat by the window eating with a worried expression. He took a sip of wine and sighed softly.
"Ah-Cai, Cui-Luo and I are forever separated by death; it was truly a case of being destined to meet but not to be together..."
Ah Cai added a piece of roast goose to his plate and said, "Young master, Miss Cuiluo is unfortunate. Please don't be sad or hurt yourself."
Meng Dongpei glanced down at the roast goose on the plate and said, "This roast goose has a thicker skin and more fat; it doesn't look very appealing."
The waiter quickly admitted his mistake, hurriedly took the roast goose away and threw it into the waste plate, and then picked up a more perfectly shaped piece and put it on his plate.
Meng Dongpei then picked up a piece and ate it.
Just as I put the roast goose in my mouth, before I could even chew it, I glanced out the window at the street and my eyes widened suddenly.
"Ah Cai, look quickly, aren't those Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang?"
Ah Cai was also stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Meng Dongpei's gaze and his eyes widened instantly.
"Young Master, it really is Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang! They're still alive!"
"Quick, Ah-Cai, call them to stop!"
