Chapter 238 Full Name
"Hey, eh, okay!"
After Wang Qinian responded, he wiped a piece of good quality jade that he had picked up from a corpse on the roadside with his sleeve, and after making sure it was intact, he put it into his arms.
He stood up and strode forward to help Teng Zijing clean up the corpses.
After quickly pushing aside all the corpses blocking the way, Wang Qinian took a look outside through the crack in the door and then opened it.
After Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping out of the door, he stopped at the top of the slope.
The scene outside the brightly lit door at this time is.
There were eight or nine corpses scattered on and off the stage. Mei Chengan's shadow and four maids were in an armed standoff with a group of people led by Zhu Ge. Both sides were silent at this time.
Mei Cheng'an noticed the movement behind him and looked back. Seeing that it was Chen Pingping and the others coming out, he stepped aside and said to Zhu Ge.
"Since Master Zhu doesn't believe what I said, you should ask Dean Chen in person."
Zhu Ge was holding a knife and looking at the shadow vigilantly. He glanced at him when he heard the words, and then he saw Chen Pingping on the platform through the gap.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly put down the knife and bowed to Chen Pingping.
"Dean! When I went to the hospital, I saw Yingzi, Mei Chengan and four outsiders killing their colleagues."
Mei Chengan shrugged.
Well, I still don’t believe it.
Chen Pingping looked at Zhu Ge and said softly.
"I arranged it."
Zhuge's pupils dilated for a moment, and then returned to normal after a moment of shock.
"Oh."
However, he still didn't quite understand what was going on, and kept looking at the people in front of him.
Chen Pingping asked Zhu Ge curiously.
"You should be monitoring Zhuang Mohan from Northern Qi, why did you suddenly come back to the courtyard?"
Zhu Ge said "oh" and walked in through the gap left by Mei Chengan, then stopped in front of the steps and said.
"Something is fishy. Zhuang Mohan...is missing."
The smile on Chen Pingping's face disappeared, and he paused before speaking.
"Tell me what happened in detail."
Zhuge nodded.
"Yes, after Zhuang Mohan came to Beijing, he has been staying in the residence arranged for him by the Honglu Temple. I have never seen him. I found it strange, so I asked my men to pretend to be waiters to clean the house. After knocking on the door for a long time and hearing no response, I pushed the door open and found that Zhuang Mohan was no longer in the room."
When mentioning the Honglu Temple, everyone subconsciously looked at Mei Chengan.
Mei Chengan spread his hands and thought to himself, "Just watch me do nothing. It's not my responsibility to receive Zhuang Mohan."
Chen Pingping thought for a moment and asked.
"Has anyone seen him before?"
Zhuge replied.
"People from the Imperial College, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Censorate have all visited him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping suddenly smiled, not knowing what he was thinking of. He nodded slightly and spoke meaningfully.
"It seems that they all admire Zhuang Mohan very much and want to ask for advice in person."
Zhuge wondered.
"Then there's no need to secretly take him away, Dean. Zhuang Mohan is a literary giant. His every word and action can influence the readers of the world. If he just disappears like this, it's probably not a small matter."
Chen Pingping said softly.
"Make a list of visitors and let me take a look."
"Yes!"
After answering, Zhuge paused and spoke.
"Um, Dean, I came back to the academy this time just to ask you to order a thorough investigation of Kyoto."
Zhu Ge's request was reasonable, but Chen Pingping rejected it contrary to his usual practice.
"That's all there is to it. There's no need to investigate further."
"this…"
Zhu Ge hesitated to speak, his eyes full of confusion.
Chen Pingping leaned back in his chair and did not explain further on this issue. Instead, he said.
"It's just right that you're back. Gather all the organizers in Beijing. I have something to say."
"Yes!"
After paying his respects, Zhuge hurried away with the people from the group.
Chen Pingping glanced at Shadow Mei Chengan and the others, and his gaze lingered on the four maids for a long time.
It was because they had some blood on their bodies, unlike Yingzi and Mei Chengan, who were clean and spotless.
There was a lot of dried blood on the sword in his hand.
It was obvious at first glance that they were the main force behind the action.
Chen Pingping looked at Yingzi and Mei Chengan.
"You two don't do anything about your own affairs, but just let the girls do it for you. Don't be ashamed!"
Mei Chengan had a lot of questions in his mind.
"Didn't I tell you before I came here that I brought them here to let them practice? What are you talking about?"
Shadow said right after.
"They will soon be members of the academy, and two of them will soon become my beloved disciples."
Four maids: “???”
At the same time, a question popped up in my mind: When did this happen?
Feeling four pairs of inexplicable eyes looking at him, Mei Cheng'an cleared his throat and said in a low voice.
"I'll tell you more about it later."
The four maids then looked away.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell from the movements of the few people that Yingzi and Mei Chengan had reached a private deal.
Fan Xian rolled his eyes. He was directed at Mei Cheng'an, and Yingzi, and even Chen Pingping. It seemed that he was the only one who was kept in the dark. It was outrageous.
Chen Pingping did not comment on Yingzi's words. Regardless of whether it was Yingzi or Mei Chengan, they still had the right to cram in a few people, not to mention four masters with good talents.
Taking advantage of the momentary silence, Wang Qinian quickly bowed to Chen Pingping and Mei Chengan and spoke.
"Dean, Master, what's the matter? I need to go back home first and let my wife know that I am safe."
Chen Pingping leaned to one side and looked at him with a smile.
"Go."
Wang Qinian looked at Mei Cheng'an again. Although Mei Cheng'an felt that it was unnecessary to report that he was safe, considering that he was frightened today, he didn't say much and just stretched out his hand to signal him to do whatever he wanted.
After Wang Qinian bowed to the two again, he left first.
Fan Xian let go of the wheelchair handle, turned around and walked out.
"That's alright, I'm leaving too..."
Chen Pingping stopped him.
"Hey, wait."
Fan Xian turned around and looked at him.
Chen Pingping said with a smile.
"Those hosts were assembled just for you. Meet them."
"..."
"For me..."
Fan Xian subconsciously looked at his fellow villager.
Mei Chengan let out a cry.
"I've seen it before."
"Oh."
……
The circular meeting hall of the Supervisory Yuan.
This was the second time Mei Cheng'an experienced this scene. The difference was that last time he was standing in the audience as a newcomer, but this time he became an old man and sat in the audience seats.
There were seven levels of seats for the public, and Mei Chengan chose to sit on the third level, which was neither too high nor too low.
In front of him were Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai sitting side by side on the first step. Two seats to his left was Xuan Jiu reading a book. Behind him, two steps higher, was Shadow.
Mei Cheng'an sat with his legs crossed, his arms resting on the steps behind him, and his head tilted as he looked with interest at the man lying on the bed opposite Xuan Jiu.
Seeing that he had his eyes closed, his face was pale and he looked half dead, if he hadn't heard his breathing, Mei Cheng'an would have thought he was dead. What was his name?
Just as he was thinking, Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping slowly into the conference room. Mei Cheng'an put away his thoughts, adjusted his sitting posture, put down his crossed legs, and straightened his body.
Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping in front of the crowd, stopped him, let go of his hand and stood beside him.
Chen Pingping simply looked around at everyone and spoke with a smile.
“We’re almost there.”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Fan Xian.
"Let me introduce you."
Chen Pingping said, pointing casually.
"The first place is hosted by Zhu Ge, and the fourth place is hosted by Yan Ruohai. You have met them all."
Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai both had blank expressions on their faces, their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts, without even looking at Fan Xian, and Fan Xian had no intention of greeting them either.
Chen Pingping continued.
"The second director is at the edge and has not returned. The fifth director, Black Knight, is not in Kyoto. The sixth director is Shadow."
The shadow waved to Fan Xian, and Fan Xian nodded in response.
"The director of the Seventh Department is in Jiangnan on business and has not returned. The director of the Eighth Department is Xuan Jiu, who is in charge of publishing books."
Fan Xian looked in the direction he pointed. Xuan Jiu also looked away from the book and exchanged glances with him without saying a word.
Mei Cheng'an, who was watching from the side, found it funny. Xuan Jiu seemed to have become more aloof. Could it be that he was unhappy about being dragged to a meeting in the middle of the night?
Chen Pingping moved closer to Fan Xian and spoke in a low voice.
"You opened a bookstore, so he is in charge of it."
When Fan Xian heard that this was his counterpart, he realized that he could not be disrespectful and quickly bowed.
"Hello, Lord Xuan."
Xuan Jiu nodded at him lightly and returned his gaze to the book.
"The remaining ones are Fei Jie's three offices. Fei Jie is not here, so I am temporarily managing his affairs..."
As he spoke, Chen Pingping nodded his chin towards the man on the bed.
“Here, this is the one lying there.”
Fan Xian glanced at the man and asked uncertainly.
"Is he dead?"
Just as he finished speaking, the man on the bed suddenly coughed, looking as if he was seriously ill and retching. Fan Xian curled his lips.
Chen Pingping finally looked at Mei Chengan, pointed at him and said to Fan Xian.
"I don't need to introduce this person to you."
Mei Chengan was confused. What kind of quality?!
What do you mean by this person? Doesn't he have a name?
Fan Xian glanced at Mei Cheng'an and cried out in fear.
"He, he doesn't need it."
"..."
What does that disdainful tone and look of yours mean? Did I provoke you? Are you crazy?
Mei Chengan regretted attending this meeting. It was so terrible!
Chen Pingping pointed at Fan Xian and spoke to everyone.
"His name is Fan Xian, and like Mei Cheng'an, he is also a supervisor in the hospital."
Fan Xian understood what he meant, and turned around, bowed, and greeted everyone.
"Hello, everyone."
Now Mei Chengan felt comfortable.
The man on the bed seemed to have just woken up. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Fan Xian, his voice sounding very weak.
"Junior brother is here? My last name is Leng, and I am Master Fei's disciple. We are considered fellow disciples."
Mei Cheng'an raised his eyebrows. Oh, so his last name was Leng. No wonder he had no impression of it. It turned out that he didn't have a complete name in the drama.
Fan Xian was stunned and then quickly took a step forward.
"So you are my fellow disciple. Lie down, lie down. What's happening, Brother Leng?"
Senior Brother Leng lay back down obediently, tilted his head to look at Fan Xian and explained his situation with a grin.
"Nothing much. I created a new poison and took a few myself."
……
Chapter 2 is a few minutes late, but it's a little late
