The screams in the tunnel came to an abrupt end after only a few breaths, and the reassuring scent of white sandalwood wafted back. Princess Shushou subconsciously stretched out her hand, and was immediately taken into Murong Fu's arms and hugged horizontally.

"Please don't take off the silk handkerchief for the time being, Your Highness."

Murong Fu's deep voice sounded in Princess Shushou's ears, and Princess Shushou nodded meekly and let Murong Fu carry her out.

After being pulled out of the tunnel by the forbidden army guarding outside, Princess Shushou finally took off the silk handkerchief that was blindfolded in front of her eyes. Many of the forbidden soldiers in front of her were already kneeling on the ground, and their expressions were respectful. However, the group of forbidden soldiers who escorted her out of the tunnel only looked at Murong Fu like ghosts. Princess Shushou frowned inexplicably, and was about to ask what was going on in the tunnel, but she saw Murong Fu and Huang Qian chatting a few words, then dusted off her robe and walked towards her.

"Please return to the palace as soon as possible, the official family must be very anxious." Murong Fu bowed to her and said softly.

Princess Shushou also knew that it was time for her to go, and the chamberlain who was always waiting by her father's side had urged her twice, but she still couldn't help asking, "What about you?" ”

"I still have some finishing touches to finish up with Lord Huang." Murong replied in a warm voice.

Princess Shushou nodded, saluted Murong Fu, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Murong Tanhua for coming to the rescue today, Shushou will never forget it in her heart." ”

"Your Highness is serious." Murong Fu hurriedly returned the salute and replied respectfully. "Weichen is just the food of the king's Lu and the worry of the king, Your Highness, please!"

Murong Fu confessed so frankly that Princess Shushou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a moment, she nodded slightly, and was escorted by the forbidden soldiers to leave Qionglin Garden.

Seeing off Princess Shushou, Murong Fu paid attention to Master Li and the others. "Teacher, girl, tonight's events ......"

Master Li, as the head of the Beijing Division, is rare and transparent, and before Murong Fu finished speaking, he said categorically: "Tonight, Master Li and Tanhualang are talking at night, and they are very happy. Other than that, nothing else happens. ”

Murong Fu looked at Master Li quietly for a while, and suddenly replied with a chuckle, "Not bad." I had a great conversation with the teacher and the girl, and I will definitely visit again another day. ”

Master Li couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and left with a group of sisters.

After sending away the helpless girls, it was Huang Qian's turn to come over with his hands and feet. Huang Qian had just seen the scene of Murong Fu killing people expressionlessly, and he was killing cleanly, and he felt that his heart was greatly hurt, and he didn't dare to look at him for a while, so he lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Murong Tanhua, let's pour fire oil now?" ”

Murong Fu looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "Bring the corpses below first, the fire oil is extremely flammable, or wait until the time to act." ”

"Yes! Be! Huang Qian echoed with a smile on his face, "I have to wait for Miss Azhu to have news." ”

Murong Fu didn't answer, but faintly felt that Huang Qian's face looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Half an hour later, Qiao Feng finally rushed back with Azhu.

Seeing Ah Zhu, Murong Fu's heart that had been hanging this night finally let go, and he hurriedly strode forward and pulled Ah Zhu to look left and right. "Have you ever suffered?"

Ah Zhu was already full of tears on his face, and when he heard Murong Fu's question, he immediately cried loudly: "Ah Zhu thought it was ...... Thought...... I'll never see my son again...... Wow wow......"

Murong Fu's distressed voice changed, and he hugged her tightly and said, "Is it mine, no, I should have sent more people by your side a long time ago......

Seeing that the two of them were almost crying with no one else, Qiao Feng had no choice but to step forward and pull Murong Fu away. "Murong, I have something serious to talk to you about."

Murong Fu lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, bowed to Qiao Feng, and said softly: "Azhu's matter, thank you Brother Qiao for helping." ”

Qiao Feng listened to his words, there was still a little cry in his voice, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and he endured it again and again, and finally he couldn't help but speak, only took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Murong Fu. "This is evidence that Li Qing and Kaifeng Mansion secretly colluded to buy and sell women and children."

Hearing this, Murong was stunned when he re-ascended. After a long time, he finally regained his usual calm and sharpness, and only asked in a low voice, "Brother Qiao, do you know what you are doing?" Without waiting for Qiao Feng to answer, he added another sentence. Li Qing: I've already killed it. ”

Just as Qiao Feng specially instructed the storm to find this account book for Murong Fu's sake, Murong Fu's killing of Li Qing was also for the beggars' murder. However, the difference between Murong Fu and Qiao Feng is that Qiao Feng can calmly express his kindness, but Murong Fu always has a little guard. Qiao Feng didn't understand why Murong Fu was like this, and could only blame his childhood shadow for making him unable to express his true emotions to people of his status, but more at ease with those who relied on him. "You treat me as a brother, and I naturally treat you as a brother. Li Qing was innocent of his death, and Dazhong was at the helm of the black smoke and miasma, and he was doing thunderbolt means to cleanse the staleness. ”

Murong Fu shook his head and reminded Qiao Feng with a straight face. "The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed, bleeding and drifting. This is not something that your little beggars can resist. ”

Qiao Feng said lightly with his hands in his hands: "I will withdraw the Dazhong rudder from Bianjing, and as for the gang members who are indeed guilty, they will be handed over to Yousi Ming Zhengcanon." Although the beggars are poor, they are by no means a place to hide filth and filth. ”

The withdrawal of Dazhong from Bianjing will not only damage the strength of the beggar gang, but even the momentum of the beggar gang in the rivers and lakes will fall sharply. These Qiao Feng will not be unintelligible, but since he is upright and selfless, there is no need for Murong Fu to persuade him. After all, the account book sent by Qiao Feng was indeed a relief in the snow, and with this account book, Murong Fu could prove that he was forced to interfere in the duties of Kaifeng Mansion, so as to wash away the suspicion of Yu Xing.

"In this way, thank you Brother Qiao." Only then did Murong Fu take over the account book. However, although Murong Fu accepted Qiao Feng's kindness, he did not expect that a mere account book could pull down Cai Jing, who was old and cunning with a history stamp. In fact, there was not even a word of Cai Jing left in this account book, and it was only the judge of Kaifeng Mansion who finally apologized for the thieves in this worry-free cave. As for Cai Jing himself, he only received a few rebukes from Emperor Shenzong. And the grievances between Murong Fu and Cai Jing have already planted trouble at this time.

Qiao Feng stared at Murong Fu's cold and deep eyes and said, "Murong, you have to be a good official!" ”

Murong Fu didn't respond, only looked at Qiao Feng and smiled slightly.

The princess and Ah Zhu had been rescued safely, and Qiao Feng sent evidence that could block the verbal criticism of the courtiers, Murong Fu had no worries, and immediately ordered oil to be poured and set on fire. After setting the fire, many forbidden soldiers patrolled the streets and shot more than a dozen bandits who fled from Sanssouci Cave on the street; After the fire was extinguished, the Janissaries carried out more than 100 bodies of thieves from the sewers. Since then, the trouble-free cave bandits who have been hated by the people of Bianjing have finally been wiped out.

Murong Fu was determined to take the path of a civil official, and he was not sensitive to the murderous reputation of exterminating the bandits in Sanssouci Cave, so he put the credit on Huang Qian's head. Reciprocated the favor, Huang Qian immediately agreed to transfer the account books sent by Qiao Feng to the official family for disposal.

Two days later, Song Shenzong, who "restored his health", presided over the court meeting and rewarded the new science and technology scholars with official positions. However, Murong Fu never expected that although he used an account book to pull the judge of Kaifeng Mansion off the horse and avoided the name of Yu Xing, he could not escape the good intentions of Emperor Shenzong to recruit a son-in-law after all.

At the court meeting, the champion Zhai Man was awarded the judge of Shu Yunchang, and Liu Kui of the Bangyan was awarded the judge of Yuezhou Observation, and these two official positions were both official titles from the sixth grade. Murong Fu thought to himself that he, the Tanhua Moyo, was also hovering between the sixth grade and the seventh grade, either a pusher or an imperial history.

How do you know that Liu Kuifang thanked him, and Emperor Shenzong on the dragon chair suddenly asked with a pleasant face: "Has Murong Tanhua ever married?" ”

Murong Fu's heart "chuckled" when he heard this, and as for the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military forces had already looked at him with sympathy and pity. According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the captain of the horse was not allowed to participate in politics, and once he married the princess, he was destined to take it as his lifelong mission to please the princess's soft rice man. I don't know how many ambitious new science and technology scholars have been harmed by this system, and I don't know how many princesses have been harmed by their lifelong happiness. Not to mention the distance, the close is like the princess of Shu, the sister-in-law of Emperor Shenzong, who was snubbed by her husband after marriage, but died of depression at the age of thirty. As for the concubine who neglected the princess, Wang Xu, was demoted to Yingzhou by an edict from Emperor Shenzong, and I still don't know what day it is. However, even if Murong Fu was reluctant to marry the princess, he also understood that Emperor Shenzong must have already ascertained his marital status if he could ask such a question, so he had to answer honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, no." ”

"Good!" Emperor Shenzong immediately stroked his palm and smiled, "My third daughter, Princess Shushou, is the same age as Murong Qing, isn't this a match made in heaven?" "When Shushou was rescued, she was wearing Murong Fu's official robe, and Murong Fu's silk handkerchief was hidden in her sleeve. When asked about her perception of Murong Fu, she was just silent with a flushed face. Emperor Shenzong knew that his daughter had a very good impression of Murong Fu. And Murong Fu was able to stand up and rescue the princess without fear of the reproaches of the court, and his character and ability had also made Emperor Shenzong very satisfied.

As soon as Emperor Shenzong's voice fell, the Manchu Dynasty echoed when he ascended up and down. Only Murong Fu was silent for a moment, suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen doesn't dare to obey the edict, please take back your majesty's order." ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the whole hall was in an uproar. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Murong Fu was the first person who dared to refuse the royal marriage. For a moment, the Manchu civil and military forces looked at him with the eyes of warriors and martyrs.

Emperor Shenzong also smiled at this time, looked at Murong Fu coldly, and said softly, "Why is this?" ”

Murong Fu's mind was turning, and thanks to the prosperity of the information explosion and entertainment industry in later generations, he had already made up a story to shirk the matter in just a moment. He lowered his head and brewed a feeling, only replied with a wry smile: "Weichen doesn't dare to hide from His Majesty, although the minister has never married, he actually has a marriage contract." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Shenzong still spoke in a light tone, obviously not believing him for half a word. "Which lady is it?"

Murong Fu bowed his hand and said in a low voice: "This is a very long story, please listen to your minister's words patiently." ”

"Say it." Emperor Shenzong finally suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Murong Fu with a somewhat sneering look.

"It was when Zaichen was two years old, his father and Xianci had a deep relationship, and when he saw that Xianci missed his hometown, he decided to pack up his family property and return to Xianci's hometown Gusu to settle down. And with my Murong family, there is also my Murong family's housekeeper Xiao Yuantu and his family. Although Uncle Xiao and his late father have the status of master and servant, they have grown up together since childhood, and half of the property of my Murong family is the credit of Uncle Xiao. Uncle Xiao had a daughter at that time, and the moon was about to be full, and his father wanted to kiss Uncle Xiao, so he made a marriage contract between the minister and Uncle Xiao's daughter. How do you know, on the way back to Gusu, we encountered robbers on the road, kidnapped Uncle Xiao's wife and children, and forced my late father to hand over his property with their lives......"

Speaking of this, Murong Fu closed his eyes painfully and said softly: "Your Majesty, the so-called good wealth is hard to give up, it is the accumulation of my Murong family for several generations, and my father and his ...... My father had already secretly ordered the servants to go to the county government to report the news, hoping to delay for a while while while the officers and soldiers would come to the rescue. However, Uncle Xiao cherished the lives of his family and fought with the robbers at the expense of his body, and finally died at the hands of the robbers. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived in time, and my Murong family was saved. It's just that Uncle Xiao has died, and Aunt Xiao is resentful of my Murong family, and left the Murong family with her daughter regardless of her father's retention. My father always blamed himself for Uncle Xiao's affairs, and died of depression soon after settling in Gusu. Xianci also died when Weichen was fourteen years old, and his father and Xianci both earnestly entrusted, asking Weichen to try to find Aunt Xiao's mother and daughter, so that he could compensate and take care of them for the rest of his life. The last order of the ancestor Xianci, even if Weichen was crushed, he did not dare to disobey it. Please Majesty xià Mingjian! ”

Emperor Shenzong never expected that Murong Fu would be able to give him such a tragic explanation. At this time, the people are simple and simple, even if they are heinous people, they will never arbitrarily arrange their parents to respect their relatives, and Emperor Shenzong could never have imagined that Murong Fu from later generations would have no affection for his physical parents, and as for making up lies, there was no pressure to open his mouth. Seeing that Murong Fu's feelings were unbearable, he couldn't help mentioning his parents' last life, and even made no secret of his biological father's greed for money and immorality, he was already convinced of this story, and only asked: "Could it be that you haven't had the whereabouts of your fiancée all these years?" ”

Murong Fu shook his head gloomily, and said helplessly: "Aunt Xiao has a strong temperament, and when her father was alive, she sent people to her hometown to send money and gifts. Unexpectedly, when Aunt Xiao saw that her father learned of her whereabouts, she took her daughter away overnight. Since then, there has been no news of him. After many years, this person has a vast sea, and Weichen doesn't know where to find their mother and daughter. It's just that in any case, this is the last life of his parents, if the minister violates it, won't they be unable to close their eyes under the nine springs? ”

"If you can't find their mother and daughter in your life...... Emperor Shenzong said tentatively.

"That's the providence that makes Weichen die alone." Murong Fu was categorical.

"Good, good!" Emperor Shenzong saw that Murong Fu said it so sparingly, and suddenly knew that the matter of the marriage contract should not be mentioned again. I saw that he said "yes" twice with an unpredictable expression, and said expressionlessly: "Murong Qing is so filial, how can I not be fulfilled?" I will give up. With Murong Qing's talents, he can be the editor of the National Academy of History. ”

Edited by the Academy of National History, it is an eight-rank official rank, and it is already low to ask a Tanhualang to serve as an eight-rank official rank. Moreover, there is no plan to revise history in the DPRK and China now, this official position is official or not, and Murong Fu wants to make achievements It is a fool's dream. And three years later, a new science and technology scholar entered the court, and Murong Fu, an out-of-fashion star who dared to refuse marriage, was afraid that he would end up in the National Academy of History.

This truth was understood by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and Murong Fu would not be even more ignorant. However, under the eaves, people have to bow their heads, even if Song Shenzong is mean and unkind to announce personal vendettas, the only thing Murong Fu can do at this time is to thank him. Thinking of Qiao Feng's entrustment of "being a good official", Murong Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now all he hopes for is that Song Shenzong can return to heaven as soon as possible. When the Empress Dowager Gao takes power, she will recover the teacher, and try to get him out of the retirement place such as the National History Academy. As an official of the Great Song Dynasty, he has no reverence for the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that he will not be a "good official" who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic in any case? This is really risky in the imperial examination, and you need to be cautious when refusing to marry!
