Wandering the Heavens

Ever since the bloody battle in Merlin, he has been living to avenge the Red Flame Army. Failure was also expected, so when this moment came, it was not as desperate and unacceptable as he had imagined.

However, the sweet fragrance of the girl that penetrated his heart and lungs made him feel deeply regretful and guilty.

I regret that I was unable to redress the injustice done to Prince Qi, the Lin family, and the Red Flame Army. I feel guilty that I was so absorbed in what I said before that I ignored the people and things around me.

"Master, please listen to Doctor Yan's advice and have a good rest. I will go find Qin Prajna right away." Gong Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mei Changsu closing his eyes.

Mei Changsu fell asleep again. This time he did not rely on pills or silver needles, but completely relaxed.

Gong Yu moved Mei Changsu's head from her thighs, placed it on the medicine pillow prepared by Doctor Yan and Ji Shen, and then stood up gently.

"Doctor Yan, please look after the Sect Master. I need to go to Hongxiu to ask for help."

"go Go!"

Doctor Yan pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand. After Gong Yu left, he put down the things in his hands and sighed heavily.

Qin Prajna is extremely busy right now, arresting and detaining people. Every day she only takes a two-hour break before dealing with various matters. How could she be in Hong Xiuzhao?

Gong Yu could only wait on the second floor of Miaoyinfang and wait for Qin Prajna to appear.

The atmosphere in Nanjing at this moment was no better than the two days when the Qingli Army was there, and it was even more severe. The foreign king Muqing from the southern border led his cavalry on a long raid and finally arrived at the battlefield at the last moment. He defeated the Qingli Army that was almost out of control and brought the emperor back to Nanjing.

However, many people were not happy about the emperor's return. In addition to the emperor's suspicion, they might wonder why no one raised an army to support the emperor. The most important thing was that the army that followed Prince Mu into the capital did not seem to plan to leave.

At this moment in the Jinling court, the emperor was in a coma, Prince Ji was acting absurdly but had the highest seniority, and the emperor's sons were useless, such as Prince Yu, and the useful ones were useless, such as Prince Jing. The remaining princes were either disabled or underage, so Queen Yan could only issue an imperial decree to let Prince Ji govern the country.

Among the civil officials, Prime Minister Liu was hit by an invasion in the melee and his time was running out. In the end, Yan Que stepped forward to stabilize the situation and took over the government.

It was the two of them who came forward together to keep Mu Qing and handed over the defense of Jinling to him. The clan members and civil officials were so ambiguous about this loyal army that many aristocratic families felt uneasy.

On the surface, Prince Ji and Marquis Yan asked Mu Qing to stay and stabilize Nanjing, but in fact, they might be planning a coup d'état that would be more thorough than the rebellion of the Qingli Army, or even a change of dynasty.

And this day has finally come!

Mei Changsu, carrying a bundle and a petition, arrived at the gate of the Censorate with the help of Li Gang.

"Stop! This is the Censorate, ordinary people are not allowed to enter!" The clerk stopped the two men competently.

"I am Lin Shu, a commoner. I have a huge injustice and need the help of the Lord Censor!" Mei Changsu and Li Gang knelt on the floor at the door and held the petition in their hands high.

"Wait a minute. I'll go report to the officer on duty."

The clerks could not read but knew the significance of filing a complaint with the emperor. Two years ago, an old couple from Binzhou also knelt in front of the censorate. Later, the once-prominent Duke Qing's mansion was reduced to ashes. Duke Qing himself and the men in the mansion were exiled, and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division. Those involved in murder were executed.

Unexpectedly, two years later, another person came to file a complaint.

Yan Que had been waiting for this day for a long time. He walked out of the gate of the Censorate, went down the steps and came in front of Mei Changsu. He asked the clerk to take the petition and the bundle and take the two of them into the Censorate.

"My dear nephew, have you finally figured it out now?"

As soon as he entered the yamen, Yan Que lost the aura of a high-ranking court official and became as friendly as the uncle next door.

"Uncle Yan, is this right or wrong?" Mei Changsu still felt a little uncomfortable.

"You! You really don't look like Lin Xie's child. You should know that I originally wanted to blow him to death at the year-end festival. Later, someone told me that there was a more satisfying way of revenge, so I sold the two ships of gunpowder." Yan Que was patient with this junior.

"My Lord, is there only hatred in your heart?" Mei Changsu frowned again.

"That's why I said you don't look like Lin Xie's child." Yan Que's words were also a bit harsh.

"So how many people do you plan to implicate this time by using the Red Flame Army's case to redress injustice?" Mei Changsu felt a little regretful.

"My dear nephew, you disappoint my uncle Yan! In your eyes, are we just like Xiao Xuan, the kind of people who only care about peace of mind without distinguishing right from wrong and are cruel and unscrupulous?" Yan Que's face turned cold.

"Haha, now I don't even have the Jiangzuo League, so what qualifications do I have to judge the actions of the adults in the court?" Mei Changsu was a little depressed.

"The reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is that it cannot be exposed to the light of day. If we want to fabricate a big case, why do we need this complaint? We can ask the Military Intelligence Department to put a few sets of armor in someone's cellar, or bribe someone's servant to build a secret compartment in the master's study and put some usurpatory items in it. Wouldn't it be better? The world is big, and we have long since stopped taking the noble families of Jinling and even Liang seriously." As Yan Que spoke, the man became excited.

Mei Changsu was hit hard by Yan Que's words. This was a path of revenge he had never thought of. He wishful thinking put the blame on Xia Jiang and Xie Yu for the injustice of the Red Flame Army. They were the ones who used all means to frame loyal people in order to gain promotion.

"Since it is so easy to frame someone and fabricate charges, why do you want me to take the lead?" Mei Changsu felt that he was being used.

This is a difficult story to explain. It was he who asked Gong Yu to find Qin Prajna to make a deal. He handed over the Jiangzuo League on the condition that he would rehabilitate the Chiyan Army and King Qi.

Qin Prajna's answer was just one sentence: file a complaint with the Censorate.

Only after being persuaded by Xiao Jingyan and Meng Zhi, and even with Meng Zhi threatening his own life, did Mei Changsu compromise and kneel in front of the Censorate's office.

But now the conversation with Yan Que made him feel that he was being used. He thought Yan Que would take the opportunity to implicate a large number of people and eliminate all the families and forces loyal to the Xiao royal family.

"We do need an opportunity and reason to depose him and establish a new emperor. But we have no intention of implicating innocent people. That is the most foolish thing for a power grabber to do! If you don't trust us, you can withdraw the complaint and take back the evidence, as if nothing happened today. At worst, we can really find a few people we don't like and frame them and chop them off." Yan Que put the complaint aside.

Because today was special, Yan Que was in charge personally. Except for the clerk at the door, everyone else was carefully selected by Yu Xian and Xia Dong. But at this moment, these people wished they were deaf. They knew Yan Que trusted them, but it was too much to say that he wanted to abolish the emperor in front of them.

"Child, remember one thing. If I want to know whether this vase is hard or not, then no matter how hard it is, it is destined to be smashed to pieces from the moment I become curious. With his character, as long as he thinks the Red Flame Army is disloyal, someone will turn his idea into reality." Yan Que's heart is still quite soft.

"If an innocent person is implicated, I will die with him!" This is the only sentence Mei Changsu could think of now.

"If we do things so unscrupulously, how will we be different from him? Where is the hope of the world?" At this moment, Yan Que was no longer Mei Changsu's elder, but an official.
