great mandate

Later, Minglu's father asked someone to inquire about the news, saying that the house was completely burned down, and no one, man, woman, or child survived, and all the treasured poems and books in the house that had been stored for a century were also burned.

Mr. Ming is only a Confucian scholar, and a branch of the Ming family. How can he compete with Cao Guozhong, who was in full swing at that time.

He has no place to redress his grievances, so he can only protect Ming Lu and live in seclusion in the mountains, and be a teacher.

When Ming Lu grew up, he secretly learned martial arts and insisted on assassinating Cao Guozhong for revenge, but Mr. Ming noticed him.

The master dissuaded him in every possible way, worrying that if he failed to kill the enemy, he would ruin the last blood of the Ming family instead.

When the father and son were arguing endlessly, news came that Cao thief was dead.

Minglu has been brooding over the death of his relatives and compatriots to this day, but he is not a person who is blindly depressed. Seeing Luo Jinyu's gloomy face, he blamed himself, forced a smile, and said: "Don't talk about those things. Tell me something interesting , when you and your mother were about to leave the village and go to Beijing, we only found out about each other's family background, and later my father regretted it and said that if you were a woman, our two families would be considered a marriage made in heaven."

Luo Jinyu asked: "Why?"

"You dumb-headed, why do you have to ask?" Ming Lu said, "Then what should I say, you should marry me too."

"..." Luo Jinyu said unhappily, "You're talking nonsense again."

Sometimes he really felt that Ming Lu and Shen Wuji were very similar, especially in the way they spoke without restraint, and what they said was an affair between their children.The only difference is that one is a womanizer and the other is... alas.

"It's really not nonsense. My father paid a visit to your father." Ming Lu said, "It's just that he has never met your mother, so he has not recognized you mother and son for a long time. He always told me that he made you suffer. At that time The two of them talked very happily, and they wanted to come out of the married family, but I have already given birth, and my brother is already in my mother's belly, but you haven't been seen yet, and I don't know if my mother gave birth to a boy or a girl, let alone why you Born at the right time, whether it is a boy or a girl, this is the delay."

Seeing that he was talking more and more vigorously, Luo Jinyu frowned and interrupted: "Anyway, I'm a man, so stop here."

Minglu knew that he taboo talked about love affairs, so after teasing him for a while, he accepted it when he saw it, and said: "Then let's talk about the Song family." At this time, he and Luo Jinyu were sitting in the gazebo in the garden of Shenfu's middle courtyard , the surroundings are spacious, clear at a glance, and there is no one else, so he lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Song gave me the truth. Mr. Song has the letters between the bandit leader of Mangshan and Jinyang officials, and even the important officials in Beijing, as well as various Account book. I'm afraid that's why Master Song and his brothers were killed, and the other party continued to hunt down the Song family members."

Luo Jinyu also lowered her voice and asked, "Where is the thing now?"

"I don't know where it is, I'm afraid only Mrs. Song knows. That thing was bought by her two sons with their lives, and it is also the foundation of her family's protection. If she can tell me, she will give it to me." Ming Lu said .

Luo Jinyu nodded: "This is also human nature."

"Yes."

"But if we know more, we won't be in a passive position." Luo Jinyu said, "I believe in Shen Wuji, this time Mangshan suppresses the bandits, he is bound to win, senior brother, we have to help him."

Ming Lu nodded: "I just can't understand him like that, tease him a few words, you still don't know about me? If I really didn't want to help him, I would have patted my butt and left long ago. I'm still here. I don't care if he is silent. Is the house food delicious?"

Luo Jinyu also felt a little surprised, his senior brother is straightforward, he likes to tease people a bit, but he seldom acts like this, grabbing Shen Wuji and not letting him go, he still wants to say a few words, like a few Young children are generally immature.

But he is not a fan of Taoism, and he was also afraid that once he said this, it would be endless, so he pretended that he didn't hear it, and continued to ask: "Mr. Song came to Beijing with you, just to complain for his father and uncle's family?"

Ming Lu didn't hide it, and said directly: "He has seen those ledgers and correspondence, he can recite them."

Luo Jinyu guessed that was the case, he said: "It seems that when he wakes up, we need to talk to him first."

More than an hour later, Song Ling woke up. When he saw Luo Jinyu, he was not as excited as when he first saw him. He seemed to have returned to his appearance as a taciturn and introverted young man, looking at Luo Jinyu with a sick face.

Luo Jinyu respects his father and uncle Zhongliang, and treats Zhongliang who is ill-fated and young and frail with more patience and kindness, and said kindly: "Mr. My brother Luo or Zishi can do it."

Song Ling looked at him silently, not speaking.

Ming Lu stood at the end of the hospital bed, spread his hands and said, "Let me tell you, this kid doesn't like to talk to others. If you can say ten words to him, it will be your face."

Luo Jinyu ignored Minglu, smiled and said to Song Ling: "My senior brother has an irritable and upright temper, but he has absolutely no malice, so don't take it for granted."

Song Ling shook his head lightly, looking quite cute.

Seeing him like this, Luo Jinyu felt relieved, and continued: "Now you live in the mansion of Shen Wuji, who is in charge of the Supervisor of Rites, but you don't need to worry, Eunuch Shen is not a bad person. The father-in-law punished him."

Song Ling sneered in his heart, but only lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Since Mr. Luo said so, let me leave."

Luo Jinyu was startled: "Why?"

Song Ling was silent for a while, and said, "Because my father and my second uncle were killed by him."

Luo Jinyu asked in surprise: "What do you mean by that?"

Song Ling raised his eyes to look at him, and said expressionlessly: "The Jinyang traitors in Mangshan colluded with the important ministers in Beijing, and Shen Wuji was among them. Before his death, my father told me in private that he had realized that he was being watched and died soon. Well, I finally entrusted someone to send a letter to the leader of the Ming alliance to save the lives of me, grandma, and the others, but he himself is ready to face disaster, and if he really dies, the person who killed him must be Shen Wuji! "

Luo Jinyu frowned and asked, "Why..."

"It's fine if you don't believe it." Song Ling said, throwing off the quilt, struggling to get up from the bed, stepping on his shoes, and said with emotion, "In short, I don't want to live in the mansion that killed my father and my enemies!"

Luo Jinyu hurriedly stopped him: "Your body..."

"Even if I, Song Ling, die, I don't want to die in Shen Wuji's mansion!" Song Ling screamed, the young man's unfinished voice was a little shrill, which made people's ears swell.

Ming Lu didn't expect things to develop like this suddenly, so while supporting the weak Song Ling, he said to Luo Jinyu, "Don't provoke him, look at him like this, I'm really afraid that he will be angry if he says he's mad. If you die, we can't afford it, so let's listen to him."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Ming Lu's thinking was very direct and simple. Although Song Ling talked nonsense, it cannot be concluded that Shen Wuji was the real culprit behind the killing of Master Song, but anyway, he did not like Shen Wuji, and Song Ling's life meant nothing to him. But it's a matter of certainty, so he can't wait to use this excuse to get rid of his little brother Luo Jinyu who has been doused with ecstasy and is unconscious at some point.

Luo Jinyu saw that the two said they were going to leave, and Mr. Song's face was as white as paper, and he looked like he could fall in the wind, so he couldn't let it go. He suspected that there was a misunderstanding, so he hurried out behind the two of them. , persuading all the way, but those two people have their own thoughts, and they are not willing to listen to half a word.

The three of them entangled in this way and came to the gate of Shen's residence, they suddenly stopped, and they all looked at the Jin Yiwei standing in a row at the bottom of the steps in the gate.

Standing in the center is a father-in-law wearing a blue round-neck robe. He has a gentle appearance, soft eyebrows, and a natural smile. At this time, he is wearing a tasseled hat with his hands in his sleeves. Ben is talking to the respectful porter beside him. Seeing someone coming from the corner of the corner of the eye, he raised his eyes to look over, smiled at the three of them, took a few steps closer, bowed his hands politely, and said, "Hello, Mr. Luo, you seem to be in good health, my family first Congratulations." Then he clasped his hands to Ming Lu and Song Ling and said with a smile, "This chivalrous man must be the leader of the Ming alliance. Born in a scholarly family, with a clean and bright body, he must be the son of Zhongliang, and he will be the young master of Song."

Ming Lu took a step forward calmly, protecting Song Ling and Luo Jinyu behind her, smiled and bowed to the young and kind-hearted father-in-law, saying: "This father-in-law is very polite, I wonder if it is..."

"My next admiral, Dongchang, He Fangzhou." He Fangzhou bowed his hands politely to Minglu again.

"Oh, so it's Eunuch He, and I've admired your name for a long time." Ming Lu smiled and glanced at Jin Yiwei behind him, and asked, "I just don't know, what Eunuch He means?"

"This is what Eunuch Shen meant." He Fangzhou explained calmly, "Young Master Song has not only a family grievance, but also the court's secrets. , let the thieves from behind take advantage of the gap and hurt Zhongliang, so Eunuch Shen hurriedly asked our family to bring Jin Yiwei to the mansion for protection."

"Eunuch Shen thinks that Ming is useless." Ming Lu laughed, "But Ming escorted Young Master Song to Beijing, and met a few bastards, and no one hurt him."

"Where is that? Don't get me wrong, Master Ming. Eunuch Shen has no such intentions. It's just that the water in the capital is deep and can provide multiple protections. It's better to have one more layer. If due to negligence, after hurting Zhongliang, Eunuch Shen will not be able to stand in front of the emperor in the future." Fa'er has a job, and I feel more guilty." He Fangzhou said, "He will never disturb the three Qingxiu, and will only stay outside the courtyard. Please rest assured."

"I'm also afraid that we will attract people and cause trouble for you, and the purpose of living here is big." Ming Lu said, "So let's go outside and find a secret place to live."

He Fangzhou persuaded patiently: "It's not as safe outside as here."

Ming Lu crossed his arms, looking quite angry, and said, "But I think it's safer outside than here, what should I do?"

He Fangzhou still looked gentle, and said in a calm manner: "But it's hard to explain it anyway. The leader is guarding alone, and Jin Yiwei is helping him. Naturally, there are more people and more strength." He looked at Luo Jinyu again, and said , "Master Luo, why do you suddenly want to leave the mansion?"

Luo Jinyu couldn't tell frankly what Song Ling said that Shen Wuji was the real murderer behind the scenes, he frowned and shook his head, and said to Ming Lu: "Brother, I think there is a misunderstanding here, why don't we wait for Shen Wuji to come back and confront him."

"Golden jade!" Ming Lu glared at him, really wanting to open his brain right here, and empty out all the drugs that Shen Wuji poured into it!But Dongchang Jinyiwei is here, and Minglu doesn't want to quarrel with his junior in front of outsiders and make others laugh.

Seeing that Luo Jinyu actually believed in Shen Wuji, Song Ling felt even more jealous, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "I think you guys want to kill people to silence them!"

He Fangzhou was surprised and said: "Young Master Song's words..." He suddenly realized, "It turns out there was such a misunderstanding that the leader and the young master insisted on leaving the house just now?"

Luo Jinyu was about to speak when He Fangzhou said softly, "If this is the case, for the sake of Eunuch Shen's innocence, our family can't let you go. Please forgive me if I offended you."

Ming Lu always hated eunuchs, upon hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, put his hand on the sword at his waist, and said disdainfully: "What if I don't forgive you?"

He Fangzhou said kindly: "Then what can our family do, we can only persuade him more."

Before he could finish speaking, Ming Lu used his thumb to push the hilt of the sword outwards, and the sword body flew out of the sheath. He reached out to hold the hilt and stabbed towards He Fangzhou with the sword.

Luo Jinyu didn't expect him to move his hands suddenly, he was startled, and didn't care much, anyway, he first protected Young Master Song beside him, stopped the thin young man behind him, and took a few steps back to save himself The fight between martial arts practitioners brought disaster to these two pond fish who can only read.
