Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

It was not until sunset that the three families had finished chopping off the corpses, but no one came to collect them.

There are many powerful people in the world, and everyone is willing to add icing on the cake, but no one is willing to help in times of need. In addition, Zhang Yinhang committed the serious crime of treason, and people are too busy hiding to come over.

Therefore, no one cared about the more than 200 corpses. The imperial court had experience in such matters. Some of them were sent to the charity cemetery for dissection by the coroner there, and the other part was taken to the mass grave, poured with tung oil, and burned. If so many corpses were not dealt with, they would attract wild dogs and vultures, and the plague would spread.

All the male members of the Zhang, Qiao, and Mi families turned into raging flames on the mass graves, burning for several days and nights. The aroma of meat lingered for a long time, making business in the butcher shops of Chang'an difficult.

At the Caishikou outside the Meridian Gate, blood was all over the ground and seeped into the cracks of the bluestone slabs. It took a long time to wipe it off. The street workers washed it for two or three days before it was restored to 70% to 80%.

"Hey, what is this?"

A street worker saw a red object on the street corner. He picked it up and saw that it was a lantern cut out of red paper, the size of a palm, with red tassels hanging down, which had a strange beauty.

He was surprised and asked, "Why are there paper-cuts when it's not a festival?"

The street vendor threw the red lantern on the ground without a care, allowing passers-by to step on it.

At that time, people did not know that from then on, there would be such a red lantern at the scene of many major crimes. It would be placed on the face of the corpse or on the blood, which was weird and scary.

This led to a rumor among the people that whenever a red lantern appeared, someone would die.

In the later stages, red lanterns would appear around some living people, and they would be terrified, but no matter how they tried to prevent it, they would still die in the end.

So, people named this terrifying organization the Red Lantern Cult. Everyone was terrified of red lanterns and no longer dared to hang red lanterns during the New Year or other festivals.

All the people from the three families died, and the positions of Minister of Rites, Secretary of the Central Secretariat, etc. were all vacant, so the prince and others put their own people in.

At this moment, someone tried to bring up Mei Longgang's case, but was immediately blocked by the irritated emperor. "The case has already been concluded, why bring it up again?"

"Yes."

The emperor was a little dizzy. He actually had some awareness. It had been less than a year since Mei Longgang was beheaded. He felt that Mei Longgang was wronged. How could such an honest man cheat in the imperial examination for two hundred thousand taels of silver?

But this thought flashed through his mind for a moment and then disappeared. Even if he had killed someone by mistake, the emperor would not admit it. Maintaining his authority was more important than saving Mei Longgang's life.

Another thing is that the struggle between officials is a kind of ability. Only those who can protect themselves and work for the emperor at the same time are most suitable to be officials.

He acts like a fool every day. Not only can he not help the emperor solve his problems or escort him, but he also has to rely on the emperor to protect him. If something goes wrong, he will drag the emperor down. It is better not to be such an official!

In the eyes of the emperor, Mei Longgang is such a person. He does things well, but he is not a good person. He is too upright and not cunning enough. He is not as scheming as others, so it is normal for him to be eaten by others.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to overturn Mei Longgang's verdict. There are always a few people who died innocently, but so what? The emperor doesn't care.

Meng Jiu and his companions left Chang'an City and arrived at the suburbs, where Zhao Yuanqing and others were waiting.

Zhao Yuanqing has returned to wearing women's clothes. We are all women, so it is more convenient to wear women's clothes.

Meng Jiu said, "Master, it has been done."

This was also Zhao Yuanqing's order. Her identity as a princess must not be revealed, and everyone should just call her master.

"Well done."

Zhao Yuanqing looked at Mei Yingying behind him and asked, "Did you get what you wanted?"

Mei Yingying walked to the front, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed three times to Zhao Yuanqing, and said sincerely,

"Thank you so much, Master, for helping me get my revenge. From now on, my life belongs to you, Master. I will die for you, even if it means anything!"

"Get up, and from now on just do your work with all your heart."

Mei Yingying didn't get up. She said, "Master, I have a request."

"You said."

"I want to learn martial arts, like Fan Zhen, sneaking into my enemies' homes and stabbing them to death! I can't stand seeing them being so arrogant, and I have to flatter them just to keep them alive for a little while longer. I can't stand it!"

This is Mei Yingying's true feeling. God knows how much she hated herself when she had no power and had to use poison, charm, and coaxing Zhang Yinhang into teasing.

If only she could be as good as that knight who could climb walls and fly over rooftops, she wouldn't have to waste time talking to them, but could just chop them to death with a knife, chop them to death!

Unfortunately, she has very little ability. She is not strong enough, not tall enough, and has no martial arts skills. Zhang Yinhang can strangle her neck with one hand. It would be better if she were a man. Even if he is an ugly man, it is better than being a woman. Being a woman is too weak and can be easily bullied.

Zhao Yuanqing understood what she meant. "Yes, it's your freedom to choose how to take revenge. Meng Jiu, can you see if she can learn martial arts?"

Meng Jiu stepped forward and pinched Mei Yingying's arms and legs. "With long arms and legs, you should be good at Qinggong. As for strength, you need to work on it. As for your height, you're a little short."

"I'm only fifteen years old, I can still grow!"

"Uh......"

Meng Jiu looked at Wen Qian, and Wen Qian said, "You suffered from hunger a lot in your early years, and your Qi and blood are depleted. Your physical foundation is not good, so you probably can't grow too tall. In addition, you lost your virginity too early, and your bones have already been shaped. You probably can't grow any taller."

These words were rather cruel. Mei Yingying burst into tears after hearing them. She had never expected that she couldn't even grow taller.

Zhao Yuanqing consoled him, "Just because you haven't grown taller doesn't mean you can't practice martial arts. From today on, you'll practice with Meng Jiu. She's good at martial arts, and even if you learn even a little bit, it'll be enough for you."

"Yes, thank you Master!"

Mei Yingying became happy again. She kowtowed to Meng Jiu again and said, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Meng Jiu also laughed. She didn't expect that she was already in her thirties and could still accept an apprentice today. Mei Yingying was so young that she could be her daughter.

"Get up! From now on, follow me and eat and sleep with me. I will grow fat while I practice martial arts!"

"Yes!"

The mission was carried out well this time. Zhao Yuanqing made a summary. For revenge like this, one person cannot do it alone. Several people must cooperate at the same time, some to transmit messages, some to carry out the mission in the inner house, some to cooperate in the outer house, and occasionally they have to deal with the government.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanqing summed up a model, and every time a mission is carried out, there will be at least four people, so that the success rate will be higher.

Zhao Yuanqing also gave rewards to Fan Shiyi Niang, Fan Zhen and others, with rewards and punishments, so that it would be easier to drive them.

After everything was over, Zhao Yuanqing took Meng Jiu, Wen Qian, Xu Shi, Mei Yingying and nine other people, got on the donkey cart again and left the suburbs of Chang'an.

They had already arrived in Qinzhou, and this time they came back from Qinzhou, which was equivalent to going back the same way. They could only gallop and hurry on their way. The second city they arrived at was Jincheng County.
