"Do you know, I heard that yesterday the official Shangshu was beaten out by the Dingbian Marquis."

"What! I heard that it was the grandson of the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry who took it upon himself to fork out his grandfather. ”

Someone who didn't know the truth immediately asked, "Tell me, tell me, what's going on?" ”

The person who knew something inside immediately raised his head arrogantly: "You don't know, our new official is not a master to be messed with. His Majesty issued an order to Jingcha, and he was in a hurry to prepare to take a knife against his colleagues. No, yesterday Baba ran to the Dingbian Hou Mansion, but he didn't expect to have a closed door. ”

The next day, there were many rumors in the market.

Some say that Wang Shu was slapped by Zhang Ru, and some say that Wang Shu was scolded by his grandson Wang Zhou. Anyway, there are different opinions, and there has never been a rumor that has been answered in the affirmative.

That night, there were rumors that Wang Shu, the secretary of the ministry, had dropped a lot of things at home, and scolded Zhang Ru for not being a thing.

Of course, this is the words of the market, according to the original version, Wang Shu's original words are: Shaft, An dare to deceive me!

Regarding the gossip in the market, both parties did not say a word. Zhang Ru was busy preparing for the marriage, and heard that the one in the palace had been to his mansion in disguise; Wang Shu is also preparing for the Jingcha matter like a nobody, after all, it is not a trivial matter, and he can't be idle as a secretary.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, a team of fast horses broke the silence of the official road and galloped towards the capital with billowing smoke and dust.

The flying fish suit on the head of the person made the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division not even dare to stop it, who didn't know that the master of Jinyiwei was in the middle of the day, and dared to stop Jinyiwei, unless he didn't want this skin on his body.

"Newspaper."

Outside the Dingbian Marquis's Mansion, far away, the Jinyi guards led by this team of horses let out a long howl.

Several brocade guards guarding outside the Hou Mansion instantly became nervous, and they all pressed their hands on the embroidered spring knife at their waists.

After seeing the comer, the two relaxed, one of them trotted forward to lead the horse, and the other turned his head and entered the Hou Mansion.

After a while, Zhang Ru, who was dressed in formal clothes, appeared at the door of the Hou Mansion, and he smiled and arched his hand towards a middle-aged man with a clear appearance sitting on horseback: "I don't know that Lord Taishan is coming, and the son-in-law is really rude." ”

The middle-aged man on horseback didn't mean to get off the horse at all, and ignored Zhang Ru with a cold face, just asked lightly to the air: "What about Qiqi?" ”

In addition to Luo Qing, there are also eight Wuwei masters, including Luo Fu.

Luo Fu seemed a little nervous, his eyes were firmly fixed on Luo Qing, and his hand was pressed on the waist knife at his waist.

Zhang Ru smiled: "Qiqi is inside, but there have been a lot of things recently, and it is inconvenient for her to show up." Lord Taishan, hard work, come on, come on, go in and talk about it. ”

Just a look, the few brocade guards who followed him out immediately came to the side of the war horse very sophisticatedly, and stretched out their hands without saying a word. It was Fan Tong who was responsible for dealing with Luo Fu, and I saw him grab Luo Fu's hand and press the knife, and said with a smile: "You are the eldest brother of my family, you can't be so nervous." My family is not terrible, don't listen to those people outside, they are all their own family, what are they doing with weapons. ”

Fan's general name is Jinyi Wei Qianhu, which is actually equivalent to Zhang Ru's personal guard captain, and his task is to protect Zhang Ru's safety. Therefore, the wind and grass around him will definitely not escape his eyes, even if the person holding the waist knife is Zhang Ru's eldest brother, he will not allow the other party to be presumptuous in front of the Hou Ye.

The faces of the few high-ranking officials of the Wuwei Sect who were almost forcibly pulled off their horses were full of dissatisfaction, but they were dissatisfied, and they didn't dare to make any radical moves under the watchful eye of so many Jinyi guards.

Luo Fu had a feeling of a thorn in his back when Fan Tong pulled him, and inadvertently looked around, only to find that there were crossbow arrows with a cold light in some dark corners under the sun.

With a wave of their hands, everyone took off the hands that were placed on their waists, and let a kind of brocade guards surround them and walk towards the Hou Mansion.

For Zhang Ru, Luo Qing still didn't have a good face, and he only snorted twice from time to time to Zhang Ru's cold greetings.

Zhang Ru didn't care, he kidnapped other people's daughters, if they didn't allow people to be angry, then it would be a little too much.

After bringing a few people into the Hou Mansion, he asked the housekeeper to arrange a place for a few people, and Zhang Ru went on his own.

This move was seen by Luo Fu and others, and they all felt that Zhang Ru was a little too arrogant. No matter how Luo Qing said it, he was Su Qiqi's biological father, and he was so sloppy that he looked down on Luo Qing.

Luo Qing had the idea of being mad, but occasionally seeing the cold glint in the eyes of his apprentice Luo Fu, he could only choose to endure it.

There has always been an elite of Wuwei around him to protect him, Luo Qing can be said to have a hard time, even if he wants to find a chance to talk to Zhang Ru now, these people may not be willing to give this opportunity.

As soon as he left the small courtyard where Luo Qing and the others were placed, Fan Tong immediately said: "My lord, my subordinates feel that there is something wrong with these people. ”

Zhang Ru said indifferently: "Oh, what's wrong? ”

Fan Tong hesitated for a while and said, "That one named Luo Fu has murderous intent in his eyes, and he has a strong smell of blood on his body, so he should have more than one life on his hands." ”

Zhang Ru paused, and then continued to move forward: "Hehe, it seems that I, a cheap old man, have not had a good time during this time!" Don't deliberately send someone to keep an eye on it, go and tell Fan Lao, and ask him to come forward. ”

Fan Tong said with a bitter face: "Boss, can you say it to someone else?" ”

Zhang Ru scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, when you have something to do, Fan Lao will not force you to marry a daughter-in-law." Besides, another person to Fan Lao may not be willing to come forward. ”

It stands to reason that such a big matter should be done by Zhang Ru in person, after all, Fan Wuyi is not his subordinate, and he can't order the other party.

But helplessly, the old guy pestered him as soon as they met, asking him to tell Fan Tong about his daughter-in-law, and now his daughter-in-law has not passed the door, Zhang Ru really doesn't have the energy to talk to the old guy.

Fan Tong is the most suitable person, after all, the relationship between master and apprentice is not ordinarily deep, and Fan Tong's passing on the word also means that Zhang Ru does not mean to treat Fan Wuyi as a subordinate.

Sure enough, when Fan Tong went to speak, he was pulled by Fan Wuyi to preach, and finally found a reason to do to get out of the old devil's sonic skills.

However, Fan Wuyi finally agreed to his request, which made Fan Tong, who looked wooden, feel a little better.

The wedding time was set on the auspicious day of the zodiac on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was set after asking Luo Qing what he meant, but Luo Qing was noncommittal about this day, and finally Zhang Ru admitted it to him.

There are many things to do to get married, especially in this day and age, and any etiquette is indispensable. Zhang Ru is a dignified marquis of the Ming Dynasty, although it is not as good as the wedding when Zhu Youzhu was the prince, but he can't be fooled casually.

Many officials in Beijing were involved, some gave gifts, some gave money, and some gave people.

Of course, these Beijing officials are basically not very clean, if it weren't for Zhang Ru's name of co-organizing the Beijing Cha, maybe none of these people would have appeared.

After all, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were really few people who were willing to deal with Zhang Ru, the little king of Yama, except for a group of nobles.

Fan Wuyi had been staring at the Wuwei Sect's every move for several days, and as long as there was anything wrong, he would immediately tell Zhang Ru.

However, those few people are quite honest these days, except for Luo Fu who went out once, everyone else basically stayed in that small courtyard.

Seeing that the wedding date was getting closer and closer, Fan Wuyi became more and more concerned, and stared at the small courtyard almost all the time, for fear that something would go wrong.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Luo Qing entered Beijing for a few days, and Zhang Ru did not let Su Qiqi meet with Luo Qing. Even, in order not to disgust Luo Qing, he didn't let people go around the small courtyard where Luo Qing lived.

There are many people who are in a hurry, and Luofu is one of them.

Seeing that the day after tomorrow is Su Qiqi's wedding date, as soon as the day after tomorrow passes, Su Qiqi will become someone else's woman, his eyes are full of anger, which can make people's hearts cold.

"You really don't plan to take Qiqi away?" Luo Fu said sharply to Luo Qing, who was sitting on the bed meditating.

He tried his best to keep his voice low, just because he was afraid that there would be Jinyiwei's ears around, but now he really couldn't care so much, and he wanted to see him marry someone else with his childhood sweetheart, which would be worse than killing him.

Luo Qing's eyes didn't open: "You like Qiqi, that's your business, you don't have me as a master in your heart anymore, is it interesting to ask me for advice now?" ”

Luo Fu slapped the table with a fierce face: "No matter what, Qiqi is your daughter, and she will listen to what you say." I asked you to find a chance to see Qiqi, but you refused, and I asked you to refuse this marriage, and you also refused. Don't think that I won't dare to touch you now in the capital, think about your disciples, if you refuse to cooperate, something happens to them, and I am not responsible. ”

Luo Qing opened his eyes, his eyes were full of disappointment: "When you were a child, I knew that you were a competitive character, so I asked you to study with Master Wuxiang, but I didn't expect that after so many years, not only did you not use Buddhism to resolve your anger, but it made you even worse." They are my disciples and your senior brothers, you can bear to kill people, kill them over there! ”

At this moment, Luo Qing seemed to have thought everything through.

Luo Fu smiled and said: "Okay, old thing, I can't see it, Qiqi's status in your heart is quite important!" Since you won't cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Luo Qing's face changed slightly: "What are you going to do?" ”

Luo Fu said coldly: "What am I going to do?" I'm going to do something I've been thinking about for more than ten years but haven't dared to do! If you refuse to take Qiqi away, I will go to Qiqi in person, I don't believe it, the relationship of more than ten years is even more important than a dog official in the imperial court! ”

A trace of unbearability flashed in Luo Qing's eyes: "Luofu, don't do stupid things, if Qiqi is not willing to marry, I will take her away without you saying it." ”
