[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

In the middle of May of the seventh year of Yuanyou, Zhuge Zhengwo, the commander of the six sects who was investigating the case as far away as Dali, received a letter from Feige from Murong Fu, asking him to go to Hangzhou as soon as possible, saying that it had something to do with the future structure of martial arts. discuss things.

Zhuge Zhengwo and Murong Fu have known each other for a long time, and I know that what he said must be based on evidence, so I immediately put down the case of Zen Master Shaolin Xuanbei being killed, and rushed back to Song Dynasty from Dali.I don't know what the future situation of Wulin will be like this way back, Zhuge Zheng and I are still at a loss, but I have heard the news that Shaolin will hold a martial arts conference in Chongyang, Jiujiu.

The Six Doors was originally an official organization set up by the imperial court to control the black and white. It is the responsibility of the Six Doors to hold the martial arts conference. How can a Jianghu gang like the Shaolin School be needed to do it for them?Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Zhengwo, the leader of the six sects, heard the news, he felt a sense of unhappiness in his heart, and thought to himself: The Shaolin faction is really daring and doesn't know the rules!

It is precisely because of this kind of mood that when Zhuge Zheng and I rushed to meet Murong Fu at the Jinlinlou branch by the West Lake, it is understandable that his face was not very good-looking.However, as soon as I stepped into the box on the second floor, I noticed that Murong Fu, who had been waiting in the room early in the morning, was pale and short of breath, and his face looked worse than his, Zhuge Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.As soon as Fang sat still, his hand wrapped around Murong Fu's right wrist. "what happened?"

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu's situation is really not good, he couldn't stand the cool breeze brought by the waiter in the restaurant when he opened the door for Zhuge Zhengwo, so he coughed slightly at this moment. "A little injury, it's fine."

"It's not as simple as a small injury that can hurt you like this." Zhuge Zhengwo also dabbled in medical skills, so I found out that Murong Fu had suffered a serious internal injury, and he hasn't recovered yet.

"Ahem...it's really not a problem," Murong Fu suppressed his cough with hot tea in embarrassment, panting. "It's not the time to talk about this right now, I have other important things to ask you to come." He coughed for a while and his face gradually turned red, but he looked a little more energetic.

Zhuge Zheng and I saw that Murong Fu didn't intend to say more, so he stopped talking, and said: "I always thought that you have no interest in Jianghu affairs."

"...I have no interest so far, but it's a pity... I can't help myself!" Murong Fu smiled bitterly, "Did you know that Shaolin has been posting heroic posts and preparing to hold a martial arts conference?"

Zhuge Zhengwo nodded with a sneer, and replied, "Of course I know."

"Do you know why?" Murong Fu asked again.

This time, Zhuge Zhengwo only shook his head slightly.

Murong Fu sighed, and said slowly: "A public trial of Qiao Feng."

Zhuge Zheng was stunned and said after a while, "What?"

Murong Fu sighed again, and said in a soft voice: "Two months ago, Shaolin Zen Master Xuanku was killed, and the Shaolin faction firmly insisted that it was Qiao Feng's subordinates. Abbot Xuanci sent Xuannan and Xuanji to the beggar gang to ask for an explanation. Unexpectedly, all members of the Beggar Clan were determined to protect Qiao Feng and drove Xuannan and Xuanji out. The Shaolin faction couldn't swallow this, so they spread the hero posts."

Zhuge Zheng raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Without evidence, brother Qiao's martial arts reputation does not seem to be too nervous?"

Murong Fu stared down at the teacup in front of him for a long time without saying a word, as if the pattern on the wall of the cup contained the great mysteries of the universe and made him fascinated.

Zhuge Zhengwo was not in a hurry when he saw this, he just looked at Murong Fu silently.Zhuge Zheng, I know that Murong Fu would never come to him in such a hurry if it was just a small matter of grievances and grievances.If Murong Fu couldn't sit still, the trouble Qiao Feng got into must not be as simple as a mere murder.

After an unknown amount of time, Murong Fu finally said softly, "Brother is from Khitan."

"What?!" Zhuge Zheng, I never expected that Murong Fu would give him such an answer, and immediately stared at Murong Fu in a daze.

Murong Fu seemed to use up all his lifetime sighs in one day, so he waved to Zhuge Zhengwo with a tired face, signaling him to be calm and calm. "Sit down first, and I'll tell you from the beginning." Then, he told Zhuge Zhengwo about the whole thing from 30 years ago.Of course, the two details that the informer was Murong Bo and himself who personally witnessed Xiao Yuanshan murdering Xuanku in Shaolin were hidden in this story.

Zhuge Zheng and I listened to all the inside stories about Qiao Feng's life experience with an incredulous expression on his face. After a long time, he pondered and said: "Since it has been many years, it may not be easy for the Shaolin faction to testify that Qiao Feng is a Khitan. Do you want to know?" Shall I stop this martial arts conference?"

Murong Fu lowered his head and touched the bottom of the cup and said softly: "The Shaolin faction's arbitrariness in convening a martial arts conference is really presumptuous. Even if I didn't speak, Brother Zhuge would not just sit idly by. It's just that what I want is exactly what Brother Zhuge should do about this matter." sit idly by!"

"Why is this?" Zhuge Zhengwo wondered.If he hadn't been convinced that Murong Fu and Qiao Feng were siblings, he would have suspected that Murong Fu planned to force Qiao Feng to death by borrowing rumors in the world.

Murong Fu was silent for a long time before he said helplessly: "Because Big Brother already knows the truth about his life experience at this time, with his temperament, it is impossible for him to pretend not to know and stay in the Beggar Clan. Why don't we take this opportunity to put an end to the enmity 30 years ago?" Uncover it, and give Xiao Yuanshan justice." Having said this, Murong Fu couldn't help laughing, and added a sentence in a low voice. "I just don't understand why a Khitan person insists on coming to Song Dynasty to find justice... Isn't it just a matter of hope?"

"Xiao Yuanshan?" Zhuge Zhengwo repeated with a puzzled expression.

"Brother's biological father, he escaped death after jumping off a cliff 30 years ago, and has been lurking in Shaolin for 30 years to secretly learn Shaolin martial arts." Murong Fu replied.

Since he was lucky enough to survive 30 years ago, why wait until 30 years later to seek revenge?Zhuge Zheng and I really didn't understand Xiao Yuanshan's logic, so I just shook my head and sighed: "I've been talking for a long time, what do you want me to do?"

"Give Shaolin a helping hand and make this martial arts conference as powerful as possible!" Murong Fu said slowly, "In addition, try to ensure that the 'Four Evil Men' and a young novice named 'Xu Zhu' from the Shaolin sect are in the martial arts world." Be there on the day of the convention."

"What's the reason?" Zhuge Zhengwo has keenly realized that perhaps no one knows the truth of the whole matter better than Murong Fu.And he didn't intend to expose all the truth, but he was trying his best to lead the whole thing to his most favorable ending.But whether this ending would be acceptable to Qiao Feng, Zhuge Zheng, I don't know.

"Ye Erniang, who ranks second among the 'Four Great Evil Men', has an affair with Xuanci, and Xu Zhu is their illegitimate child." Murong Fu said vaguely.

Zhuge Zheng, I immediately understood.For an old case from 30 years ago, how can the old love of Abbot Shaolin Xuanci, the leader of the white Taoism recognized in the martial arts, be as shocking as it is?The so-called saying that rumors stop with wise men usually does not work in the arena. If you want to eliminate a rumor, there are only two ways.To confirm the rumor, or to cover it up with another bigger rumor.Qiao Feng is a man who is worthy of admiration, and it is no loss for him to admit that he is a Khitan in the martial arts conference.On the contrary, the heroes of the world will admire him again because of his uprightness.On the contrary, Abbot Xuanci, the righteous leader of the martial arts, committed bloody crimes for no reason 30 years ago and killed many heroes of the Central Plains;Such a scandal is enough to discredit the Shaolin sect.And compared to such an explosive scandal, what is Qiao Feng's Khitan identity?What's more, he was the one suffering the whole thing!

"This matter has been found out by Xiao Yuanshan, and he will definitely speak out about it at the martial arts conference. For someone like Abbot Xuanci, killing him would be better than ruining his reputation! And after this battle, the Shaolin faction's popularity will definitely drop. Brother Zhuge's six doors can take advantage of the situation and establish prestige in the Jianghu." Murong Fu said in a deep voice.

"Shaolin Temple was originally the leader of the northern Buddhist sect, but the abbot of Shaolin committed murder, cheating, and having children. Brother Mingshi can take advantage of the situation to investigate Shaolin. The important task entrusted by the Empress Dowager has opened up the situation." Of course.

This time, Murong Fu just smiled wryly and remained silent.After investigating Buddhism and Taoism, Murong Fu had other plans.He has collected a lot of evidence that the Shaolin faction privately collected donations from the common people and forced usury to kill farmers and merchants. It is absolutely unnecessary to bring down Shaolin.It's just that on the night Xuan Ku was killed, he let Xiao Yuanshan run away, and he was seriously injured again.It was half a month before he was able to stand up and see things.Originally, there was still a chance to save it, as long as Xiao Yuanshan could be killed before Xiao Yuanshan saw Qiao Feng, but he was stopped by Ma Juan.There are so many things to investigate about Buddhism and Taoism, Murong Fu can't separate himself.Murong Fu had no choice but to choose between protecting his official career or Qiaofeng.Thinking of receiving the news not long ago that Qiao Feng had met Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Fu's mood became more and more restless.Xiao Yuanshan has suffered so much from him, if he can resist telling stories in front of Qiao Feng, Murong Fu will wring his head off and give him a kick!

"...I heard that elder brother has seen Xiao Yuanshan, and now Xiao Yuanshan is seriously injured, they are rushing to Ganzhou to seek medical treatment from Xue Muhua." Having said this, Murong Fu couldn't help but wryly smiled again, and said helplessly. "This genius doctor Xue is a man of the world, and he is very good at treating internal injuries and poisoning, but he may not be able to cure Xiao Yuanshan's injuries. I have already written to Dr. Zheng Wei of the Western Army, asking him to rush to Ganzhou. I also invite Zhuge Brother also went to Ganzhou, there are many people in the beggar gang, I can know Xiao Yuanshan's whereabouts, and others can also know, I am afraid that the righteous martial arts will not let this opportunity to become famous." Murong Fu knew that since Xiao Yuanshan could not be killed, It can only be remedied as much as possible.If Xiao Yuanshan were to die now, there would be an eternal rift between him and Qiao Feng.

Zhuge Zheng, I naturally understand that Murong Fu's entrustment is to ask him to help deal with the idiots in the martial arts, but he understands that Murong Fu can cut Xiao Yuanshan's wound directly, that "enemy of hell" can't heal, I'm afraid this wound is Can't get away from him. "Aren't you going in person?" Since you want to make amends, you have to show your sincerity by working hard in person!

Murong Fu shook his head, and replied: "I'm about to leave for Mount Longhu, I can't take care of things here." Having said this, he couldn't help but sneer. "Zen Master Foyin of Lingyin Temple really deserves his reputation. I don't know how much more sensible than Abbot Xuanci. I hope that Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain is also knowledgeable and interesting, and understands the principle of loyalty to serve the country!"

Zhuge Zheng and I saw Murong Fu's anxious and impatient face, and he was talking murderously, so he silently lit a candle for Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain. "The last question." Now that Murong Fu's arrangement has been acquiesced, Zhuge Zhengwo will control all variables in his hands. "Who killed Xuan Ku?" If Shaolin used Xuan Ku's death as an issue at the martial arts conference, the government would not be too biased towards the two Khitans.

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu said sternly: "Shaolin Temple is under the jurisdiction of Dengfeng County, if a homicide occurs in the temple, it should be reported to the officials, but from the beginning to the end, the Dengfeng County magistrate has never received any papers from Shaolin Temple. In other words, Xuanku is normal Passed away, there has never been a murder case in Shaolin."

When Murong Fu said this, Zhuge Zhengwo was immediately dumbfounded.Relying on martial arts, Shaolin Temple is like a local emperor in Dengfeng County.When a Shaolin monk was killed, the Shaolin faction held a martial arts conference with great fanfare to catch the murderer all over the world.With such awe and prestige, how could he want to report to the official?Now that time has passed, Xuan Ku's body may have been cremated.If you want to report to the police again, there is no proof!Thinking of how the Shaolin faction had been domineering for many years under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally encountered an evil star, Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but silently dig out the only remaining conscience and light the wax for them while gloating. "Okay, I'll order someone to inquire about Qiao Feng's whereabouts." Zhuge Zhengwo acted decisively, and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Brother Zhuge, leave everything to me!" Murong Fu didn't want to keep him any longer, and the two quickly bid farewell.

Not long after Zhuge Zheng and I left, Murong Bo and Bao Tong came in from the next room.Murong Bo, who had heard the whole conversation between Murong Fu and Zhuge Zhengwo, had a serious face, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhuge will make a decisive decision when he sees his insignificance, and one day he will be the great enemy of our Great Yan Kingdom!"

Murong Fu really had no common language with this kind of murderous man with insufficient brains, so he put down his teacup and got up and said, "Brother Bao, go and inform Ma Juan that we are leaving for Mount Longhu today!"

"Obey, my lord!" Bao BuTong has been making love between the father and son since he was called to take care of the seriously injured Murong Fu more than a month ago.Fang Yi watched Murong Fu leave, and he explained to Murong Bo with a smile on his face. "Master, the position of Commander Zhuge is still protected by the Young Master, and he was originally an ally of the Young Master."

Murong Bo was suffocated when he heard the words, and after a while he said: "Stuffy! I want to go to Shaolin to see." An otaku who has lived for nearly 30 years, he has no eyes for the court and officialdom where his son is messing around.Even though Bao BuTong shared with him several times about Murong Fu's great plan of restoring the country by "accumulating achievements and making progress, adding a yellow robe", he was still in the dark.However, Murong Bo has toiled for most of his life and made no progress in his plan to restore the country. On the contrary, at a young age, his son is already a fourth-rank high-ranking official in his hands.Out of the thinking of the official position in this era, Murong Bo has already instinctively feared and trusted Murong Fu, but he himself did not know it.

As soon as Bao Tong heard that Murong Bo said that he was going to Shaolin, he admired Murong Fu's foresight in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Master, you must not show your face in the Jianghu at this time! If you teach Xuan Ci knows that you are not actually dead, and the bloody case 30 years ago should be blamed on you. In this way, wouldn’t this Shaolin faction get away with it?” Murong Bo faked his death for more than 20 years, and Murong Fu even pretended to be his death Made up a fictitious marriage contract for myself.If Murong Bo was allowed to show up in front of people at this time, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, let alone let him go to Shaolin to confess that he is committed to rebellion!

When Murong Bo heard that Bao BuTong made sense, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "You're so thoughtful!"

Bao BuTong watched coldly, knowing that Murong Bo and Murong Fu were not on good terms with each other, so he naturally seized the opportunity to say something nice for Murong Fu. "Master, this is what the young master meant! Although the young master says little, he has always respected the master."

Mentioning Murong Fu, Murong Bo felt uneasy for a while, he snorted coldly and said: "Respect? Is he respecting me as much as he respects his teacher? If I hadn't seriously injured him that day, I'm afraid he'd say ' Daddy, why can't you say it?"

This time, Bao BuTong couldn't answer anymore, so he had to bow down and smile.

The author has something to say:

Murong Bo: Does he respect me as much as he respects his teacher?

Director: Mr. Murong, do you still remember what he said when you met your son?

Murong Bo: Let me think about it... "Your Excellency has never met this senior, in my opinion, it's better for you to stay out of it!"?

Director: The next sentence.

Murong Bo:  …

Director: Sorry!
