great mandate

Surprised and suspicious, the female relatives looked at each other, watching the man in red scold the killers, and then some men dressed as knight-errants came and tied the killers together.

The man in red gave up, patted his clothes, walked towards them, stopped two steps away, cupped his hands and said politely: "Greetings to the old lady and my sister-in-law, under the bright moon, people in the martial arts, admire Mr. Song for his integrity, Entrusted by him, I came to rescue you from the thieves, and I was delayed by some things on the road, which surprised everyone, sorry."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the little maid.

The little maid was not very old, and the tears on her face were still wet. Seeing this, she hesitated for a moment, her legs trembling, she came over tremblingly, took the letter, ran back to the master quickly, and handed the letter to the wife.

Enduring her fear, the wife unfolded the letter paper, saw that there were only a few words on it, but the handwriting was very familiar, she couldn't help crying, she showed the words to the old lady, and said with a sob: "It's the words of the master."

The old lady also saw that her eyes were reddish. After all, she was much more serious in her old age. She let out a long breath, patted her daughter-in-law's arm lightly, then walked towards Minglu, whose alias was Mingyue, and said with a nod: "There is a young hero named Lao Ming." " And he said slowly, "Although according to the etiquette, we should first thank the young hero for saving his life, but the little Sun Songling has been weak since he was a child, and now he has been bumped and frightened, I'm afraid it's not good.

Before she could finish her sentence, Ming Lu had already walked towards the sick and weak boy surrounded by them, and said, "Got it!" He saw that the boy had pale lips, and he looked cute, but his eyes were deep and distant, For a moment, strangeness flashed across my mind, but I didn't think much about it, I just said, "The young master looks scary, but unfortunately I don't know how to treat illnesses, if the old lady trusts me, I will take the young master to ride to the city first To see a doctor, my friends will escort you in a carriage and then come to join us."

That's the way it is, and that's the only way it can be.The old lady fought hard, and said solemnly: "My son died in Jinyang, and this is the only son under my knees. Too much work and too little hero."

Ming Lu nodded, bowed his hands to her again, turned around and hugged the sick and weak boy named Song Ling by the waist, blew his whistle, and a fine horse came galloping from the forest.Ming Lu tiptoed, hugged the boy, jumped onto the steed, greeted his friends, and rode off quickly.

Song Ling didn't understand the situation for the time being, so he didn't speak, but curled up into a ball with a sick look.

Ming Lu brought Song Ling into the city, found a medical room, and watched the doctor's examination with concern.

Originally, "Song Ling" was so weak that he was frightened and died in the wild, but now he was taken over by Song Ling, a nine-tailed fox. Ask the doctor to check this body, and he said to Minglu with confidence: "Don't worry, young man, although this young master looks unwell, he is fine, eat and drink enough, sleep well , it will be fine."

Ming Lu looked back at Song Ling's face in surprise: "Doctor, but he seems to be dying, don't fool me, this man can't make mistakes, do you know who his father is?"

Song Ling: "..."

The doctor was puzzled, and asked: "Who is it?" Then he said, "Whoever it is has nothing to do with me. His father is the current emperor, and that's what I said."

"That's not enough." Ming Lu said, "His father is my friend."

The doctor said: "His father is your father, and I still say that."

Ming Lu has a straightforward temperament, he doesn't care about what the doctor said, instead he laughed loudly: "You are so funny, doctor, haha, you accept the consultation fee, just watch and prescribe some medicine for him, he has been weak since childhood, I was shocked again on the road, and it would be best if I could make up for it.”

The doctor saw that he was straightforward and knew that he had no malice, so he nodded and promised to do his best, and then went to the front hall to grab the medicine.

Seeing that the doctor had gone out, Ming Lu looked at Song Ling who was lying on the bed, and asked, "Is there anything particularly uncomfortable?"

Song Ling shook his head.

"I'm not a bad person. I'm here to save you and your family. I'm a good person. Do you know that you are a knight? The kind who draws his sword to help when the road is rough." Ming Lu said.

Song Ling: "..." This seat sees you as a fool.

Seeing that the young man didn't speak, there was some disdain in his eyes, Ming Lu thought about it, and said: "You have a heroic father like Mr. Song, so it's only natural that you look down on me, a person from the world."

Song Ling still didn't speak.

Ming Lu saw that the young man was lonely and arrogant, he seemed to have a cold temperament that didn't like to talk to others, and he didn't force others, so he asked him to rest for a while, waiting to reunite with his family.

After speaking, Ming Lu moved the small bench to the door, leaned against the wall, sat with his legs crossed, and lazily basked in the sun.

Song Ling thought that this person was chattering a lot, so he was eager to see this, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep. In fact, he was thinking about how to get rid of these people next, and went to the capital alone to find Luo Jinyu.And I still have to find a way to get close to Luo Jinyu...

After a long time like this, at dusk, Minglu's friends finally escorted the female family members of the Song family into the city, and tracked all the way to the medical cottage.

The female relatives saw that Song Ling was here in good condition, and their complexion was much better than before, and they heard the doctor's oath that there was nothing serious, so they finally felt relieved.

A group of people said that there are not many, and it is naturally inconvenient to live in the medical hut. Fortunately, the friends in the Ming hut are all people who are used to wandering around, so they quickly found a small courtyard, and they can all live in it for the time being. yes.

When everyone came to the small rented courtyard, Ming Lu said as he walked: "The place is not big, men and women are mixed together, I have wronged the ladies and ladies. But now the situation is unclear, I am afraid that those people will sneak up again at night if they are not dead-hearted, so We can only stay together."

The old lady said slowly: "I understand, young man Ming doesn't need to worry too much."

Ming Lu made a simple arrangement, and asked the friends to help the female relatives to clean the yard and prepare meals, and then looked at the old lady: "What to do next, I have to ask the old lady to discuss it with me."

The old lady nodded, gently pushed away the hands of the little maid and granddaughter who were supporting her, smiled kindly at them, and said, "You guys also go and help, just don't make trouble for others." To the silent grandson Song Ling, "Ling'er, help me in."

Song Ling was startled, but still walked over, supported the old lady, and followed Ming Lu into the living room.

Ming Lu closed the door, turned around and said, "Madam please sit down, young master please sit down too."

The old lady also asked him to sit down.

After all three of them sat down, Ming Lu said: "Old Furen, Ming doesn't like to talk nonsense, so he just said what he has to say."

"Please."

Minglu said: "After Mr. Song was transferred to Jinyang, he discovered that the officials inside and outside Jinyang had secretly colluded with the gangsters of Mangshan, even far less than this, there were more vaguely involved, and he was framed and murdered because of this. He believed me, It was my honor to ask someone to entrust his family to me, but unfortunately I was far away at that time, and when I received the news, Mr. Song had already been killed, and I couldn't rescue him as well... Don't worry, old lady, nothing else No matter, as long as Mingmou is alive for a day, he has to protect your family well, and no one will let anyone touch a hair of yours!"

Mrs. Song nodded silently, smiled shyly, and said with moist corners of her eyes: "I've lived most of my life as an old man, and the soil has already been buried up to the bottom of my neck, and now I'm sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man. I have already seen through the destiny. Only my two daughters-in-law, an elder grandson, a younger granddaughter, and a girl raised from childhood, are still old enough to be alive." She said, getting up and going to salute to Minglu, One side said, "Everyone has to be shy, there is Lao Ming Shaoxia..."

"Don't do it! Don't do it!" Ming Lu hurriedly stood up, knelt down in front of her, and lowered her by half, raised his hand to support her, and said to Song Ling, "Help me hold your grandma!"

Although Song Ling's mind has changed drastically now, he was also a practitioner of eliminating demons and defending the Tao, and he also had good etiquette in his heart. Go back to your seat.

Seeing that the old lady sat back, Ming Lu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Master Song is a good official, his brothers sacrificed their lives for the common people, and I, Ming, admire him. If he entrusts you to me, that's for you." For my sake, you don't have to thank me."

The old lady sighed and shook her head slightly, not knowing what to say.

Ming Lu waited for her to recover a bit, and then continued: "To tell you the truth, I was delayed on the way this time because I ran into someone from Dongchang looking for me."

Hearing this, the old lady froze and looked at him with some fear and worry.

The name of Dongchang has been illustrious since before Cao Guozhong, and in those years of Cao Guozhong, it has become notorious and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is shocking.Who doesn't know that Dongchang killed dissidents, mutilated Zhongliang, and colluded with each other?Her son was murdered just now because she observed the muddy waters of the court that she shouldn't know about, and now Dongchang...

"Don't worry! Sigh, I'm afraid that if you are in a hurry, something will happen, and I can't explain it to Mr. Song." Ming Lu hurriedly said, "It's not about your family, Dongchang is looking for me , has nothing to do with you."

The old lady still didn't feel relieved, and asked hesitantly: "Could it be that they know that the young hero is entrusted by my son..."

"No, no." Minglu explained, "I don't know if you have heard about my little brother, my name is Luo Jinyu..."

Song Ling suddenly looked at Minglu!

Ming Lu noticed something, stopped and looked at Song Ling, "Young master knows my junior brother?"

Song Ling withdrew the light from his eyes, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes, you are a talented Luo."

Ming Lu secretly thought, so this kid can talk?I thought he was dumb, so I didn't have the nerve to ask...

It is not surprising that Song Ling has heard of the name Luo Caizi. After all, Song Ling's father, Mr. Song, was also an official in Beijing, and his family lived in Beijing.

Ming Lu continued: "Yes, it's this talented Luo. Since the young master knows him, does he know that he was unjustly imprisoned three years ago?"

Song Ling nodded slowly.

It's a pity that he had no skills at the time and couldn't protect himself, so he couldn't rescue Yu'er at all.And Shen Wuji, a waste, just watched Yu'er suffer from three years of innocent disaster like this!He is also worthy to continue to cling to Yu'er?He is also embarrassed!

The old lady said: "Three years ago, my son and my family were still in Beijing, but I don't like to socialize with outsiders, so I haven't heard of it." Then she asked, "Ling'er, you are weak, and you never like to go out. , don’t chat with outsiders, how do you know?”

Song Ling said in a low voice, "Listen to what my father said."

The old lady didn't ask any more questions.

Ming Lu said: "My junior brother is out of prison now, ask someone to bring me a message and let me pick him up."

The old lady asked puzzledly: "Young Xia junior brother, Luo Caizi and Dongchang..."

"Ah," talking about this, Ming Lu thought of the beautiful, troublesome, hard-to-talk Shen Da Duanxiu in Dongchang, scratched his nose in a delicate mood, and mumbled, "What are the people in Dongchang thinking, Who knows."

But he said in his heart, it doesn't matter what Shen Wuji is thinking now, what is important is what this bastard Jinyu is thinking, if the person who sent the letter from Dongchang is not talking nonsense, then Jinyu, you will go straight to Shen Wuji's house as soon as you get out of prison What to do?The body promises are here, did you eat the wrong thing!Also discussing marriage and marriage, senior brother as father, sits in the high hall... I will go to your uncle Shen Wuji, if I believe it, I am out of my mind!The same goes for Jin Yu, what's the matter with this dead eunuch who is not clear-headed! ?

Song Ling thought more directly in his mind.He thought, what Shen Wuji in Dongchang was thinking was simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knew it!However, it was useless for him to think about it. What Yan Kang couldn't get in his previous life, he can't get it in this life!

Ming Lu paused, then continued: "My little junior brother is very much loved by my father, he is more like my father's own son than I am when I was young. He is also cute, and I love him very much. I am not afraid of your jokes, I once had a quarrel with him, and the quarrel became stiff. In a fit of anger, I said that I never wanted to see him again, and I regretted it later, but I was afraid that he would take it seriously, and I would lose face. Now he took the initiative to come Look for me, how dare I not hurry up and go down this step."

Thinking of her two sons, the old lady couldn't help smiling, her eyes were moist and she said: "It's often like this between brothers, especially the elder brother, who always gives way to the younger brother, no matter how old he is."

"That's not the reason. That stupefied young man has been stunned since he was a child. Alas, I'm used to it." Ming Lu smiled as he spoke, and said, "So now he has asked someone to come to me, so I want to go see it quickly. look."

The old lady was startled, a little worried, but said nothing.

"Don't worry, I have invited my friends, and they are all famous people. With them, they are no different than me." Ming Lu comforted, "What's more, one mile out of the city is the famous sword villa, and the owner of the villa is me. My good friend, he has a lot of friends and is somewhat involved with the imperial court. Ordinarily, no one dares to come to seek bad luck. Besides, this villa is like a fortress of copper and iron, and it is the ability of a fly to fly in. I will escort my friends tomorrow You went to the villa with your sister-in-law, miss, and young master, so you can rest there with peace of mind, I will rush to the capital as soon as possible, see my junior brother, and if there is nothing else, I will come back as soon as possible."

The old lady is now turbulent, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. She can only rely on and trust this young man Ming. Naturally, she does not want him to leave for a while, but she is also a sensible person after all. She has caused trouble to others, so she has the nerve to say more, and said: "Young Master Lao has made arrangements."

After Ming Lu finished speaking, he said, "Ming has one more thing on his mind."

The old lady hurriedly said: "Please tell me."

Ming Lu's expression turned serious, and he said, "Master Song entrusted someone to give me two letters, and the other secret letter was to be burned after reading. There are many letters and bills in collusion between officials, and the things involved are large and small, shocking. I don’t know where these things are now?”

Hearing this, the old lady's face also became solemn, she hesitated for a moment, looked away from Ming Lu's face, and looked at the ground hesitantly, as if in deep thought.

Ming Lu said: "I know this matter is of great importance. These things were saved by Mr. Song and his brothers. It is inevitable for the old lady to have concerns. I didn't intend to ask this question at first, but it happened that I The younger brother came to see me to go to the capital. He is naturally intelligent, talented, and has some connections with important officials in the court. I wondered if I could ask him about this on the way. It's just to protect your family safety, as for more... In the final analysis, this matter has to be settled in the court in the end, so that Lord Song can be fair and innocent, so that your family doesn't have to hide in the villa forever."

The old lady pondered for a long time, and finally her heart broke, she looked at her grandson and called out: "Ling'er."

Song Ling looked at her silently.

The old lady said: "Just memorize a page of accounts to Ming Shaoxia."

Song Ling: "..."

Song Ling:?

The old lady looked at Ming Lu again, and said, "Don't be surprised, young man Ming. It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that this matter involves not only my two sons, but also tens of millions of people. Just like my sons, I don't want to be with others. Therefore, there are many loyal and virtuous men who died in Jinyang Mang Mountain... Before this matter is clear, no one will tell the whereabouts of those things. It's just that I also know what the young man thinks. Although I can't take out the account book at this time Come on, just in case, the old man asked Ling'er to recite the important points, if the young hero needs anything, it's better to let him write some silently first."

Ming Lu nodded: "It's fine if you think carefully."

Then the two looked at Song Ling together.

Song Ling: "..."

The author has something to say: Song Ling: O_O blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ?This seat sees that you are embarrassing the fox!It's hard for Qiaohu to back up without roots.

That night, Eunuch Shen ordered a stick of incense to the messenger, and spent two-thirds of the time implying: Blow, blow hard on Luo Jinyu and his senior brother!Don't be afraid to blow it up big, our family will take care of it!If you get mad at him, our family will let you take the second place in the supervisor of ceremonies! (Zhan Qingshui:?)

Dogleg: Little one understands!
