"Yuanhua, I can't see that you still have martial arts." Zhu Yousong asked casually.

Zhang Yuanhua smiled to himself: "It's all a little bit of skill, and it can't be put on the table." ”

Zhu Yousong, who was deeply affected by martial arts novels and TV series, was very interested and asked: "Then will you do light work, fly on the eaves and walk on the wall, step on the snow and float on the water without a trace." Zhang Yuanhua smiled bitterly and said, "The prince said that he was joking, martial arts are just physical fitness and fighting skills." It's okay to climb over the wall and float on the water, but it has to be a fairy's means. ”

Zhu Yousong said stupidly: "This look, then where did you learn this martial art?" ”

A trace of sadness appeared on Zhang Yuanhua's face, and he said in a low voice: "When I was a child, the township was hit by rogues, and these thieves killed people when they saw them. My father and mother dragged a few thieves and told me to run. After the thieves had killed them, they came after me. There was a man passing by, and the road was uneven and saved my life. When he saw that I was lonely, he took me as an apprentice and taught me martial arts. Later, I inquired about the whereabouts of the group of thieves back then, and said goodbye to my master to take revenge. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanhua stopped, Zhu Yousong knew that he must have stabbed the enemy, but this old matter of murder and arson, I don't want to mention it in front of a prince.

"Your master, if he can teach such an apprentice as you, he must be a first-class master, right?"

Zhang Yuanhua was hundreds of times happier when he heard Zhu Yousong praise his master, and he raised his head and said: "My master's martial arts are more than ten times higher than mine, but his old man rarely does anything with others. ”

"Okay, Zhang Yuanhua, you still have such a master. Why don't you bring the palace, let me also learn a trick and a half. ”

Zhang Yuanhua sighed: "After I took revenge, I went back to the master to look for him, but I saw that the master's family had gone to the empty house." As soon as I inquired, I learned that that year, the imperial court army and horses were unfavorable to suppress bandits, and there was a hundred households that connived at his subordinates to kill good and risky people. My master was angry, killed many officers and soldiers, and finally fled with his family. ”

Zhu Yousong listened, and felt very uncomfortable. Some officers and men in the late Ming Dynasty did have the habit of killing good people and risking meritorious deeds. Zhu Yousong is not asking, the so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspect is not used. Thinking of the three people he had to deal with in front of him, none of them could be easily eliminated. With Zhu Yousong's identity, it was easy to beat them up like the last time Drunken Immortal Lou did. But with Wu Xifeng's death, he had already made up his mind to let these three people pay for their lives.

The prefect of Luoyang and the general judge are both high-ranking officials with real power in their hands. Although their status is not as high as that of the prince, their power is even above themselves. Not to mention the only son of Qian Qianyi, the "leader of the literary world" and "the leader of Donglin", if he let others know that he killed him, he would not be drowned by the spittle of the world.

"Yuanhua, I see that Lu Keji and Meng Taidong are in Luoyang, and we have time to deal with them. But Qian Jingxuan, a bastard, is now on his way back to his hometown. If he is allowed to return to his lair, our power will be gone out of Luoyang. ”

"This guy is the only son of Qian Qianyi's old thief, and the Qian family is such a seedling. How can he go out without someone to protect him, and his father's friends and friends are all over the world, I think he must visit a place. Wouldn't it be too difficult for us to kill him on the road, is there any other way? ”

Zhang Yuanhua frowned and pondered, the risk of intercepting him halfway was indeed very high. Zhu Yousong slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "I swore to Wu Xifeng that I would definitely help him avenge him, he did evil in Luoyang, harmed other people's lives, patted his ass and returned to Suzhou to get away with it, there is no door." We can't think of any way here, so it's better to catch up and act when the opportunity arises. ”

Zhang Yuanhua was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "How can the body of the prince's daughter be in danger. That Qian Jingxuan is just the son of an old man who resigned from office in Suzhou, don't worry, I will definitely take his life. Zhu Yousong shook his head: "This Qian Jingxuan is the culprit, and this incident is still because of me, in the final analysis, I hurt Wu Xifeng, I have to go this time." ”

Zhang Yuanhua still had to persuade, but Zhu Yousong waved his hand: "Needless to say, you go to Ying'en Temple to pick a few reliable people, and we will set off tomorrow." He came out this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and he couldn't go fast. Zhang Yuanhua saw that he was determined to go, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he asked: "I just don't know which way he goes." Zhu Yousong sneered: "We don't know, someone knows." Don't be afraid of hard work, go to Ying'en Temple tonight and tell Zhang Hao that you need a few people. You have been in Ying'en Temple for a long time, bring a few that you think are reliable to come with us. Remember, too many people are too ostentatious, and if there are fewer people, you can't get things done, just bring four or five. ”

Zhang Yuanhua said yes, and Zhu Yousong sneered: "Come to the palace early tomorrow morning to find me, let's go to Lizheng Academy to inquire about Mr. Qian's itinerary." ”

After Zhu Yousong watched Zhang Yuanhua leave, he went to Princess Zou to ask for peace. It is estimated that it will take ten days and a half to go, Princess Zou must be worried, maybe she will be scolded again when she comes back. When I got to the princess, I found that my two cousins were also there. The brothers' elder brother is called Zou Zuren, and the younger brother is called Zou Yi. Zhu Yousong said with a smile: "The name of the eldest cousin is good. Zou Ren, beating people, must not have been bullied. ”

Princess Zou glared at him and said, "As far as you have a lot of witty words, your two cousins will settle in Luoyang in the future, and it is only right for you to arrange for them to be subordinate officials." ”

Zhu Yousong complained repeatedly: "The subordinate officials of the palace, how can our palace have the final say." It was all arranged by the imperial court, and it was the officials who were in charge. ”

The princess chirped: "You boasted to me that day, but today you want to regret it?" I've told my two nephews that you'll have to arrange an errand for them today anyway. ”

Zhu Yousong said: "I don't know what the two cousins want to do for a living? ”

Zou Ren had a good impression of this cousin, and he was not restrained, and said generously: "Our brother is in the capital and runs a few shops, which is quite convenient. ”

Zhu Yousong suddenly thought of his "sweet potato prosperity" plan, and hurriedly said: "Okay, we have 20,000 hectares of fertile land in Fuwangfu's mansion, but we don't have our own grain shops, they are cheaper than outsiders, and the two cousins can just reopen a few grain shops in Luoyang." ”

The two brothers combined, now there are droughts and locust plagues everywhere, and the grain business is indeed the most profitable, much better than being an idle official in the palace, so he happily agreed. Princess Zou saw one thing on her mind and became happy. Zhu Yousong took the opportunity to say that he wanted to go to Ying'en Temple for seven or eight days, this Fu Ba has been punishing the evil monks by the way, and he often stays in Ying'en Temple for many days, and Princess Zou does not doubt it. Zhu Yousong saw that he was also fooled here, and he didn't have any worries, and he had dinner at the princess's place before returning to his room.
