great mandate

After a while of busy work, at least Song Ling was settled down. Doctor Huang stayed in the mansion to observe carefully, and the servant also hurriedly grabbed the medicine to boil. As for Luo Jinyu, Shen Wuji and Ming Lu, they went to a main room nearby. talk.

After all, Minglu also loves this little junior brother. After the chaos, regardless of Shen Wuji's frowning look, he pulled Luo Jinyu and said: "As soon as I received your news, I came here immediately."

Shen Wuji sat aside with a sneer and said with a sneer: "Speaking is better than singing, he has been out for more than a month, and he had to send you a letter before you know the news, is it because you are too careless, or is this martial arts leader really useless?" ?”

"Brother Shen!" Luo Jinyu said helplessly, "You—"

"You made him yell so affectionately." Ming Lu stopped doing it, and stared, "I won't say anything else, please stop yelling, I haven't mentioned you yet, what's the matter with you?"

Shen Wuji finally managed to coax Luo Jinyu to make him more intimate. Hearing this, he immediately became anxious, slapped the table and said, "What are you doing? You are too lenient!"

Luo Jinyu hurriedly said to Shen Wuji: "You just got the medicine on your hand, don't move around."

Shen Wuji glanced at Luo Jinyu, immediately softened his waist, covered the wound on his wrist, said sadly and weakly: "It hurts." Then he said wronged, "It was he who bit it."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Ming Lu laughed instead: "Eunuch Shen, you really amaze me, you—"

"Brother!" Luo Jinyu saw that the two of them were talking endlessly, she couldn't bear it, and frowned, "You two are independent characters, stop talking about business like a three-year-old child!"

The two people heard the words, looked at each other, and each turned their heads to snort.

Luo Jinyu sighed helplessly, calmed down, and asked Minglu: "Brother, who is that young master, why did you bring him here?"

Ming Lu didn't think about Shen Wuji's dead sleeve, looked at Luo Jinyu, and said: "After I received your news, I was going to come here immediately, but I was delayed for two days on the way, so I went to save this person and him. Family members. That child's name is Song Ling," he glanced at Shen Wuji, who was drinking tea angrily, hesitated, but still said, "His father's name is Song Ziwen, and his second uncle's name is Song Ziwu."

When Ming Lu said the latter sentence, his eyes kept looking at Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji didn't have any special reaction when he heard these two names, and continued to drink his hot tea slowly.

Seeing the delicate atmosphere, Luo Jinyu looked at Shen Wuji suspiciously.

Shen Wuji caught a glimpse of Luo Jinyu looking at him from the corner of his eye, so he quickly put down the teacup, and explained to Luo Jinyu with a smile: "Song Ziwen he said is a small official sent abroad by the imperial court, and Song Ziwu is Song Ziwen's younger brother. If our family I remember correctly, they were dispatched to Jinyang last year, but their lives were short, not long ago I heard that it was Chinese New Year, the two brothers drank too much wine, fell into the river on the way home, and disappeared."

Ming Lu also laughed, and asked back, "Is Mr. Shen trustworthy?"

Shen Wuji glanced at him, and said indifferently: "There is no one in our family who believes or does not believe."

Ming Lu asked again: "You are in charge of Jinyiwei in Dongchang, how can you really not know how Master Song and his brother died?"

"Our family is in charge of the Supervisor of Rituals, and the Dongchang Jinyiwei is under the management of the Admiral Dongchang He Fangzhou." Shen Wuji said, "Ming Leader really doesn't understand the affairs of the capital."

"Come on, what's the point of pretending here." Ming Lu rolled his eyes at him, "I'm afraid you already knew it when I said the name Song Ling."

"Thank you for seeing our family so powerful." Shen Wuji snorted, he didn't care what Ming Lu thought, but he cared about Luo Jinyu, and hurriedly said to Luo Jinyu, "Jinyu, our family really doesn't care about the Song family. How did the brother die? Our family has a lot of things to deal with every day. Song Ziwen and Song Ziwu are not important figures, and they did not form cliques in the court. It's just that the death of a court official has to be reported to our family. As for them How did Dongchang die? Dongchang may or may not have investigated, where is our family free to take care of this trivial matter, but if you want to know, our family will ask someone to go to Dongchang to ask."

Ming Lu asked: "You really don't know?"

"If you don't know, you don't know." Shen Wuji glared at him, "What good is lying to you?"

Luo Jinyu felt that something was wrong, and asked Shen Wuji: "You have been paying attention to the matter of Mangshan, and the brothers of the Song family died in Jinyang's tenure, so why don't you ask more questions?"

He had already learned from Minglu's words that the deaths of the two brothers Song Ziwen and Song Ziwu probably had a lot to do with it.And the first person he contacted was the Mangshan bandits.

Shen Wuji said: "It's nothing to ask too much, not to mention that Song Ziwen is not very good at being an official, he doesn't like flattery, he has offended many people openly and secretly, that's why he was kicked out of the capital and transferred to Jinyang It's not surprising to be stared at by enemies. Let's talk about other officials, because it's quite common to be killed because of this or that. The supervisor of rituals always receives a lot of bizarre 'accidents' every year, most of them are drunk and stumble. There are also those who froze to death due to lack of clothing in winter, those who choked to death while eating Lantern Festival, those who were too happy to play with the children, and those who were so happy to die. Do you believe it? Even our family can meet a few people who don’t know each other in a year. What's more, he doesn't have diamonds and does porcelain work. Our family is not related to them, and they are not important people, so we care about them one by one? Jinyang is close to Mang Mountain, which seems to be the case, but then It's because you only stare at Mang Mountain in Jinyang now, and you feel strange. But in our family's eyes, there are incidents everywhere and people are killed everywhere, so every time one dies, there is a big conspiracy behind it?"

Luo Jinyu was silent for a while, then said: "I took it for granted."

Seeing his frowning, Shen Wuji hurriedly said again: "But now listening to what Senior Brother said, I'm afraid you really hit the mark, but our family made a mistake."

Ming Lu couldn't help but interjected: "I can't afford to be a father-in-law, so I better stop calling it that."

Shen Wuji smiled and said to him without a smile on his face: "You are Jin Yu's senior brother, so you can afford it."

Ming Lu rolled his eyes again, but he didn't have time to entangle this person with useless things, and continued: "Master Song and his brothers were assassinated by someone, and the reason why his brothers got killed is because They know about the gangsters in Mangshan colluding with the officials of Jinyang." He looked serious, and said, "Jinyu, you may not know about Mangshan. Mangshan is full of bandits all the year round. To suppress it, but it never succeeded, because the officials and bandits were colluding, and even implicated the important people in Beijing."

Hearing this, Luo Jinyu couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously turned to look at Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji still remained calm, it seemed that once he talked about serious matters to others, he was not the same person who exploded at the first touch in private.

He picked up a peanut, peeled the shell, and asked without looking up: "The lord believes me, and told me about it in front of me." He put the shell back on the plate, and put the peanuts in it. In his mouth, he chewed and swallowed, and then he raised his eyes, looked at Ming Lu with a smile, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that our family is the important person in Beijing?"

Luo Jinyu hesitated to speak.He didn't understand why Shen Wuji didn't want to talk properly, it was clearly not his fault, and he had to be so eccentric, making people look like he wasn't a good person.

Ming Lu smiled and said: "I'm afraid." He also reached out and took a peanut and peeled it up, but he was a little more unrestrained and unrestrained than Shen Wuji, he threw the peanut up, put his head up and put it in his mouth, chewing while Said, "Who told my junior to believe you? He underestimated people and was so picky that even I thought of this and that. He said that I was a prodigal son, but he still treated you well and had dealings with you." , then you must not look bad on the surface."

Luo Jinyu asked herself that she was not mean to others:?

Shen Wuji sneered, showing a vicious face, and said: "He really wants to run, and he can do it, who knows if there are people coming in or out of our house?"

Luo Jinyu who just went out to buy two books yesterday:?

Seeing that these two people were about to fight again, Luo Jinyu interrupted in time, and said to Ming Lu: "Senior Brother, Brother Shen is indeed not a bad person." Then he said to Shen Wuji, "Don't pretend to be a bad person anymore, the business is important."

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking and were eating peanuts, Luo Jinyu said, "Senior Brother, maybe you don't believe me, but I invited you here this time because of Mangshan."

Ming Lu was startled, then turned to look at him: "Why? Such a coincidence?"

Luo Jinyu nodded, and told Ming Lu about Shen Wuji's plan to take advantage of Mangshan's suppression of bandits to cut Jun Qi's military power.He was not presumptuous to make a claim, he had discussed it with Shen Wuji before, if he wanted to ask Ming Lu for help in this matter, he must not hide it from him, and Ming Lu could trust it.

Ming Lu's expression became more and more serious, and after listening, he looked at Shen Wuji for a while, and said: "It seems that I really didn't find the wrong person."

"But our family has found the wrong person." Shen Wuji said in an indifferent way, "I was hoping to use the lord's order, but unexpectedly, it's still a matter of the court, and I can't count on you to help."

"In that case, I'll take Song Ling away." Ming Lu gestured to get up, but was hurriedly stopped by Luo Jinyu: "You brought that young man to Beijing, but you have other intentions?"

"His father and second uncle were killed, and he was inseparable from the important officials in the court. That person would not let go of his family's family members. How could he not appeal for this kind of injustice?" At this moment, when he told about the account letter, he only mentioned it in one sentence, saying that Song Ling came to Beijing to avenge his grievances.

Before Luo Jinyu could speak, Shen Wuji said decisively: "Not now."

The two senior brothers looked at him, and Luo Jinyu understood Shen Wuji's consideration after a little thought, and he explained to Ming Lu: "Brother Shen means that we must press this matter first, and settle the matter of Duke Wu's mansion smoothly. If so At that time, the little prince of Song Dynasty exposed the matter of Mangshan Mountain in Jinyang, and it was inevitable that there would be changes in the government of Wu Guogong. In my opinion, what Brother Shen thought was not unreasonable. This time he went to solve the matter of Mangshan Mountain, but in the end I will complain for Mr. Song's family."

Ming Lu knew this was the truth, but he still said unforgivingly: "Speaking of it, it's still for him to gain power."

"Brother..."

Luo Jinyu was about to stop him when she heard Shen Wuji sneer and said: "Our family is playing tricks on power, you look down on our family, you should take that mad dog elsewhere and find someone else to avenge his family, as if our family is willing to manage it What about this?"

"Master Song sacrificed his life for the country, Young Master Song is Zhongliang, you can't call him that." Luo Jinyu frowned and said to Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji retorted resentfully: "His father is his father, what does it matter to him, he bites our family as soon as he comes, our family offended him?"

"Maybe it's your Eunuch Shen's reputation, how can I not dislike you after seeing you after Zhongliang." Ming Lu said with a smile.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Luo Jinyu stood up suddenly and walked towards the door.

Shen Wuji couldn't care about that shameless prodigal son, and hurriedly got up: "Jinyu, what's wrong?"

"You guys like to quarrel, so go and quarrel." Luo Jinyu said lightly, "I can't stop it, and I don't bother to listen."

Shen Wuji immediately said: "Who likes to quarrel with him! Let him quarrel by himself."

Luo Jinyu looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "My senior brother was invited by you, you must not be rude to him."

Shen Wuji was about to yell, "It's not our family who invited him, but you who wanted to invite him", but seeing Luo Jinyu's serious expression, he swallowed the words silently, and said angrily: "You are right, our family was rude. He turned his head and glanced at Minglu, who was triumphantly making faces at himself. He wanted to apologize in front of Luo Jinyu, but he couldn't say anything, so he looked back coldly, and said to Luo Jinyu with a poignant smile, "We At home, let someone clean the guest room, and entertain senior brother who came from afar with good food and wine."

"No need, I'll just guard Song Ling's room." Ming Lu interrupted.

Shen Wuji sneered and said: "Why, I'm afraid our house won't be able to protect a crazy... kid? Our family would like to know, who can have such courage and such long hands. Don't say it's a person, it's just a dog After entering our house, if anyone wants to beat it, they have to look at the owner."

"Okay, you're amazing." Ming Lu didn't bother to quarrel with him anymore, thinking that he talked more than himself, and kept talking, "If you think I'm afraid of the dark, I have to live with him, otherwise I'll sleep with my junior brother One room? I can’t sleep alone.”

Shen Wuji immediately said: "You like to sleep on the roof and our family doesn't bother to talk to you, so you are not allowed to go to the middle courtyard!"

Ming Lu rolled his eyes again.

Fortunately, not long after, something happened in the palace called Shen Wuji away, and Luo Jinyu was able to have a good talk with Ming Lu.

Ming Lu first said: "What's the matter with you? Since you came out, you didn't look for me, but Shen Wuji instead? Why, do you still remember the time when I quarreled with you, afraid that I would ignore you?"

"Of course not, I know you are hard-hearted." Luo Jinyu smiled, "You and Eunuch Shen are very similar in this matter."

Ming Lu's eyes widened: "Who are you embarrassing? I was angry with you at that time and scolded you a few times. Why do you embarrass me so much?"

"You don't want to be like this." Luo Jinyu said helplessly, "Shen Wuji has a bit of a sharp mouth and a bit of a eccentric temperament, but he is also a person who understands righteousness."

Ming Lu was dumbfounded and said: "He gave you ecstasy? Don't tell me anything else, don't forget that he means something to you!"

Luo Jinyu was startled, then said uncomfortably: "Don't mention such things."

"I don't want to mention it, but looking at his nymphomaniac who wants to cling to you, do you believe that he doesn't care about you anymore?" Ming Lu said sadly, "Jin Yu, you are playing smart, but you are I don't understand the world, so I can be fooled casually..."

"He didn't lie to me." Luo Jinyu couldn't help but said, "He didn't say no..."

Ming Lu looked at him.

Luo Jinyu was at a loss for words, turned her head away, and said after a long time: "Let's talk about Song——"

"Song, what Song, talk about you!" Ming Lu slapped him on the shoulder, "What do you mean, Shen Wuji didn't say anything? He didn't say that he was not interested in you, you know he is still interested in you, so what do you mean? You Did you really take the ecstasy?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Luo Jinyu said angrily, "He has promised not to force me, and will treat each other with courtesy from now on, how can I force him to think what he thinks!"

Ming Lu became more and more shocked: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Luo Jinyu frowned and said, "Of course I know."

"No, you should follow me." Ming Lu said, "At least stay away from him."

"Stop making trouble." Luo Jinyu said, "Get down to business!"

"This is the business, let my father know, he will kill me first, and then you!" Ming Lu said in horror.

Luo Jinyu couldn't help poking at him: "If you are really afraid that your husband will beat you, how dare you persist in practicing martial arts, wandering around the world, and become the leader of the martial arts alliance."

"Okay, you, have you learned how to expose me? This Shen Wuji really can't stay by his side." Ming Lu became more and more angry.

Luo Jinyu persuaded: "Brother, I know you hate eunuchs. I used to be the same as you, but Shen Wuji is different from Cao Guozhong. Even Cao Guozhong was defeated by Shen Wuji."

Mentioning the name of Cao Guozhong, Ming Lu became silent, different from his usual flirtatious appearance, his eyes were lowered, his fists were clenched tightly, he was angry, hated and sad, and he said after a long while: "Yes, you too. You still remember Cao Guozhong, then do you still remember the feud between your Luo family and my Ming family?"

"Don't dare to forget for a moment." Luo Jinyu said calmly, "But this has nothing to do with Shen Wuji, he was just a baby at that time."

"My younger brother is also a baby!" Ming Lu's eyes were red, he walked aside, turned his back to Luo Jinyu, and said in a low voice, "Which one of the many people in my Ming family is not destined? It's my younger brother's birthday..."

Luo Jinyu was silent in her heart, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder lightly to express comfort.

Ming Lu and his father were the children of the Ming family, a great Confucian in Henan. They were the only ones who managed to escape from the disaster of the Ming family.

Because of the catastrophe in which literature led to disaster, Minglu hated literature since he was a child, and only loved to practice martial arts, and his father did not allow him to serve in the army, fearing that his background would be found out.

The reason why Minglu loves Luo Jinyu, a junior, like a brother, is that the two of them have true feelings for each other, but there is also a suspicion of empathy.Ming Lu's mother gave birth to his younger brother and died of dystocia. Before she passed away, she told him to take good care of his younger brother and fulfill his duties as an elder brother. Ming Lu was filial and kept his mother's teachings in mind. I have to go to peek over and over again to see if I want to be coaxed.

But a year later, suddenly came the catastrophe.

He was pushed by the loyal slave to flee in a hurry. He was unwilling and cried to go back to find his younger brother who was in the chaos. But the situation was urgent, and the loyal slave simply knocked him unconscious. When he woke up again, he was already hiding in the city. in the carriage.
