On the second day, Duan Yu and Xuzhu, who also received the news, also came to visit Su Xiangfu. Su Mai familiarly took them to meet Xiao Feng, and then retreated.

The three brothers were overjoyed to see each other. Xiao Feng was originally a little worried that Duan Yu was in a difficult situation in Bianjing, but seeing that he was very familiar with Su Mai, he was relieved.

But Duan Yu has lived in Bianjing for several years, and he is no longer the naïve Duan Gongzi who did not know the world. Noticing the change in Xiao Feng's expression, he laughed first and explained: "Today, the saint is benevolent by nature, and after Dali is attached, the official family has appeased and rewarded him several times, and the younger brother has never suffered any trouble. ”

In fact, since the fall of the Gao clan two years ago, Dali was divided into Yunnan and Guizhou, and Su Shi also proposed that Duan Yu return to Yunnan to serve as the Taishou of Yunnan to appease the people. It's just that Yu and Su Shi have been friends for a long time at that time, and they know that they are not the materials for governance, and they know that the Great Song Dynasty has no intention of unloading and killing donkeys, so they refused.

The younger brother has admired Su Xiang for many years, has a deep friendship with him, and has also intended to worship him as a teacher. It's just that since Murong Xiang ...... Su Xiang was so heartbroken that he didn't even want to be the chief examiner for the imperial court provincial examination, let alone accept others as disciples! Speaking of this, Duan Yu couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Compared with Duan Yu's distress, Xuzhu's life is obviously much happier. Xiao Feng has been away for five years, and he already has a son and a daughter under his knees, and he is making trouble every day, and he can almost tear down the Vulture Palace.

The three brothers laughed around the two evil obstacles for a while, and Duan Yu and Xu Zhu asked Xiao Feng about his future plans.

"After all, overseas is not a place to live for a long time, and it is not convenient to seek medical advice." Xiao Feng frowned, obviously he was inclined to return to the Central Plains. "But Murong ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. If Murong insisted on leaving, what could he do?

Duan Yu and Xu Zhu were quite surprised when they saw Xiao Feng's sad face, and the two were silent for a while before asking cautiously, "Big brother, shouldn't you discuss whether to go or stay?" ”

Who knew that Xiao Feng was slightly suffocated when he heard this, and he squeezed out half a sentence with difficulty for a long time: "You don't know, you don't know his ......" I don't know how ruthless his heart can be! If there is a glimmer of life at that time, how many people in this world can do it in order to take care of the overall situation, and would they rather not have this glimmer of life? Not to mention being able to invite his beloved to die with him without changing his face. Xiao Feng is not afraid of death, but after this incident, he has a deeper understanding of Murong Funing's broken temperament. Then, in the middle of the night, I dreamed back and thought about it!

Duan Yu was really considerate, and seeing Xiao Feng's embarrassed face, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "But there is something to ...... The eldest brother may not care, but the younger brother can't help but say it. ”

"What?" Xiao Feng said strangely.

"Ah Zi died, it was two years ago." Speaking of this, Duan Yu couldn't help but sigh. But the object of his sigh was not Ah Zi. "Ah Zi has a strange temperament and can't get along with anyone. Although Brother Chu Wanli Chu is a retainer of my Duan family, he has been in trouble with his father for many years, and his relationship is very different. Ah Zi didn't know the severity, and looked at Brother Chu like a slave. Originally, Brother Chu saw Aunt Ruan's face and thought that she was still young, so he endured it. Unexpectedly, Ah Zi had to inch in and played tricks on Brother Chu fiercely. Brother Chu was so heroic that he committed suicide on the spot...... "The four guards around Duan Zhengchun, Chu, Gu, Fu, and Zhu not only suffered from prison with Duan Zhengchun, but also watched Duan Yu grow up. Duan Yu thought about the love with Chu Wanli, and at this time it was already a ripple of tears. "Daddy was heartbroken and killed Ah Zi by mistake. Unexpectedly, when Aunt Ruan saw Ah Zi being killed, she also committed suicide. Dad was about to commit suicide, but was stopped by his mother and Aunt Qin. Several people made trouble for more than half a year, and my father only said that the big mistake had been cast and discouraged, and finally became a monk in Tianlong Temple......"

Xiao Feng was stunned when he heard the storyline of nine turns and eighteen turns, and he patted Duan Yu's shoulder for a long time and squeezed out a dry sentence: "Third brother, mourn!" ”

Two years have passed since the incident, Duan Yu has already walked out of his grief, and only said with a wry smile: "After this incident, the junior brother finally understands why Miss Wang never had the slightest affection for the younger brother back then. …… At that time, the little brother was like a father, and when he saw a beautiful girl, he would go up and flatter him......"

"Third brother, you are just so ...... by nature," Xuzhu said busily. Duan Yu is a good person who is innocent and enthusiastic and loves life, and when he sees beautiful flowers, he wants to go up and praise them; When he sees a beautiful girl, he will not hesitate to praise her; is to see a heart-wrenching hero, he still has this attitude. However, the flowers are ignorant and the heroes can become brothers with him, but what about the beautiful girls of the right age?

But Duan Yu had already come to his senses, and only shook his head solemnly. "If you are harming others because of your own nature, then you are selfish." Speaking of this, he sighed faintly. "After the fall of the Gao family, the empress dowager in the palace pulled the strings, and the younger brother is now the son-in-law of the late King Wu Rong." Zhao Hao, King of Wurong, was the second brother of Emperor Shenzong and had two sons and one daughter during his lifetime. Empress Dowager Xiang was able to marry the county lord to Duan Yu, and she obviously valued him very much. "On the eve of the wedding, the younger brother swore to his mother that from now on, he will be the only one who will not look at the woman next to him!"

Hearing Duan Yu say this, Xuzhu nodded again and again, and said: "The girl entrusts her life to the third brother, if the third brother fails her, can she still be regarded as a person?" ”

Duan Yu nodded in agreement, and said with a happy face: "The county lord is pregnant now, and the eldest brother will be able to see your nephew in a few months!" ”

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Xiao Feng laughed out loud when he heard this. Such a happy event, drink 300 cups! ”

At the same time, Murong Fu was drinking tea with his fellow senior brother Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei's intoxicated study and dull temperament are really boring. Therefore, the two of them were relatively close for a long time, and they didn't say a word. Until the pot of hot tea gradually cooled, Zhang Lei finally asked: "Have you ever read the "Bianjing Times" in the past few days?" ”

"The ownership of Huitong Bank?" Murong Fu nodded, "I've seen it." ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Lei asked again.

Murong Fu smiled lightly and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, it depends on whose position I stand on. "From the standpoint of the imperial court, it is simply natural to control the right to issue currency, and the existence of Huitong Money Bank affects the imperial court's control of the domestic economy, and it must try to eradicate it or use it for its own use. But from the standpoint of a merchant, the family business he has saved through hard work has not broken the law and has not evaded taxes, and he has attracted the taboo of the court for no reason to cut off the financial route, how can he be convinced?

Murong Fu's ambiguous words could not satisfy Zhang Lei, but he saw that his face was cold, and he said immediately: "The imperial court plundered the people's wealth, isn't it back to the time when the new law was chaotic?" This wind will not last! ”

"Senior brother has never read "Da Ming"? Jiangnan Shijia squeezed the imperial court out of the sea for sale, what was the result? Manchuria's iron hooves went south, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and all the families in Jiangnan became fat pigs to be slaughtered. Murong Fu said slowly, "The power of finance and trade is far more terrifying than maritime trading!" ”

"With the power of the imperial court, it is not difficult to set up another money bank." Zhang Lei shook his head and said.

"The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits." Murong Fu's words were even more meaningful, and when he saw Zhang Lei's suspicious expression, he suddenly knew that he didn't know who the fisherman was. "Huitong Money Bank's current business is in the hands of Yu Yan, if the senior brother has time, he might as well take a look."

Zhang Lei groaned for a while, but still shook his head. "If you want to find a reason, you can always find it. Just like Qin Hui framed Prince Yue, there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add. But the rights and wrongs of this world should not be confused! ”

"Senior brother, there is not only black and white in the world." Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"But there should always be someone who insists on black and white!" Zhang Lei's categorical approach.

As soon as Zhang Lei's voice fell, Murong Fu immediately fell silent. After a while, he got up and dressed up and solemnly bowed to Zhang Lei. "Thank you for your advice, Akashi will never forget!"

Murong Fu performed this great gift, and Zhang Lei also accepted it calmly, and only smiled: "Your senior brother Chao handed over the "Bianjing Times" to me, and he knew people well. Besides, you are my junior brother, I should come forward for you to seek justice, and you don't have to take the matter of resignation to heart. ”

"Thank you, brother!" The so-called gentleman's friendship is as light as water, except for this sentence, Murong Fu really doesn't have to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lei, who has always been silent, was very interested in talking, and said with a straight face: "But it is Akashi, you have always been quick and wise, why don't you give the teacher an idea?" ”

Murong Fu only smiled bitterly when he heard this. "Yesterday's Everything, Like Yesterday's Death ......"

"You said this, but you are in love!" Unexpectedly, before Murong Fu finished speaking, Huang Tingjian also strode in. "The junior brother hasn't come back for five years, just because 'Murong Fu' is dead? So, who are you? Who is your surname and whose name is it now? Where did it come from? What is your identity? Without waiting for Murong to reply, he waved his hand impatiently. None of this matters, I just know that you are my junior brother, and the teacher also knows that you are his student, and that's enough. Akashi, you should keep doing what you have to do, and don't let us worry about you. ”

"Senior brother, I'm ......"

Murong Fu still wanted to explain, but Huang Tingjian raised his hand forcefully and refused to give him a chance. "Although the official family is young, his temperament is completely different from that of the first emperor, and the word 'Wenzhong' is exactly what he appointed. The books you have written over the years have also been read by the officials. What the future holds, no one dares to say. But even if it is thousands of years later, I dare to admit that Murong Mingshi is my junior brother! ”

"I understand the intentions of the teacher and the brothers, but I really don't want to be a burden to anyone." Murong Fu said helplessly, "The ranks are all in the officialdom, and it is not a joke to know the crime of bullying the king......

"Akashi, the official family knew that you were not dead, and he would even leave the palace tomorrow to see you! If you saved his life and helped him ascend to the throne of God, why don't you believe that he will be a good emperor who is kind and wise? ”

Since Zhao Xiaoyuan ascended the throne, Huang Tingjian has served as a Hanlin attendant. Just because Huang Tingjian believed that the first emperor had lost the monarch and killed Murong Fu's life, he learned from the pain, and when he took office, he secretly swore that even if he was hated and hated by the officials, he would teach a Ming Jun! Over the years, he has been extremely strict with Zhao Xiaoyuan, and even the Empress Dowager was a little overwhelmed at first.

However, Zhao Xiaoyuan had a gentle temperament, and instead appeased the Empress Dowager. "Bachelor Huang is sad for the first emperor and Murong Xiang, so he would rather die and speak out to advise me not to repeat the mistakes of the past. is such a minister, the queen mother should be rewarded heavily! ”

After that, the Empress Dowager Xiang ordered someone to relay Zhao Xiaoyuan's words to Huang Tingjian. Huang Tingjian saw that Zhao Xiaoyuan understood his intentions, and was moved inexplicably, and couldn't help crying. Since then, their master and apprentice have taught each other, and they have finally achieved a good story through the ages.

"It's not that I don't trust him," Murong Fu muttered, his ruthless character is stamped and certified by the original author, and he has been carefully taught by the Empress Dowager, Zhuge Zhengme, and Huang Tingjian, how could Murong Fu not believe it? "I just...... It's just ......" just don't trust yourself. - This sentence, Murong Fu couldn't say. “…… What else can I do? I've done what I had to do. Reformation, writing, everything I know has been told to you without reservation. The world has changed, and I may not know better than you what the way forward is. And now that I have lost my status in the world, I will bring you far more trouble than help in the future! ”

"Do we want you to stay just because you're still useful?" Huang Tingjian almost laughed angrily when he heard Murong Fu's words, "Akashi, what are you thinking?" ”

Murong Fu didn't speak again, he just looked at Huang Tingjian and Zhang Lei at a loss. The answer to the question was actually already coming out, but Murong Fu still didn't dare to face it.

When he went back, Xiao Feng was still drinking with Duan Yu and Xuzhu. Seeing Murong Fu appear at the door, Duan Yu Xuzhu, who was already drunk and hazy, immediately put down the wine jar and stood with his hands down, and called in unison with a worried face: "Sister-in-law! ”

At that moment, Murong Fu almost wanted to kill!

In fact, he did. I saw Murong Fu push his palms flat towards the two of them, this move was to immediately use the tenth palm of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending "Double Dragon to take water", and the palm wind was like two giant dragons roaring towards the two.

Duan Yu Xuzhu immediately woke up most of the time when he saw this, and seeing Murong Fu's angry eyebrows, they didn't dare to resist, so they hurriedly drove away through the window, and flashed out a few feet away in the blink of an eye. And right behind them, only two loud "bangs" were heard, and the flower hall where Xiao Feng and the other three brothers were drinking together was instantly shattered.

The smoke and dust dissipated, Murong Fu's face was pale, and he was still about to chase, but Xiao Feng shouted, "Murong!" He rushed forward and picked him up by the waist.

"Let it go!" Murong Fu's face turned red, "Xiao Feng, you are simply too deceitful!" ”

Xiao Feng turned a deaf ear, only grabbed Murong Fu's hands tightly and carried them on his shoulders and walked towards the backyard, shouting as he walked: "Abi, send off!" ”

Ah Bi, who was named, really quickly appeared in front of Duan Yu and Xuzhu, bowed, and said softly: "Master Duan, Mr. Xuzhuzi, it's rude!" ”

Duan Yu and Xuzhu were shocked, and just muttered half a sentence: "Lord Murong's temper is also ......" There was another "boom" sound from the backyard, this time the wall of the garden collapsed.

Duan Yuxuzhu's face was frightened, but Ah Bi was still smiling. "My father-in-law and Uncle Xiao want to discuss important matters, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests, so please two of you!"

The two looked at Ah Bi like ghosts for a while, and then turned their eyes to others with difficulty, but saw that Deng Baichuan, Bao Wei, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, and even Su Zhe and Su Mai were all accustomed to it. I could only hear Xiao Feng persuade with his faintly smiling voice: "Murong, they just made a mistake for a while, and they didn't call it wrong...... Murong Gongzi, murder her husband! Are you willing? ”

So, even if you don't dare to face it, what's the matter? Even if you are blindfolded and cover your ears, and you don't want to reconcile with yourself, as long as you have him by your side, your heart will always know the right direction.
