Chapter 9: Clarification

Qian Hongzuo looked at the general manager for a long time, although he suppressed his anger, he couldn't help but sneer after all: "The lonely king often hears people say, the chief manager is perceptive and witty, and your words today are even more admirable to the lonely king." According to your analysis, there were two people who were in Xixintang that day, cooperating with the assassins to assassinate, and there were two people who were the most suspected. One: It's the lonely king, and the other: it's the four taels who saved the lonely king. ”

The two palace maids who were serving the Empress Dowager Xu indoors suddenly laughed. The face of the general manager of Shang was red to the root of his ears. Empress Dowager Xu looked at the two palace maids reproachfully, and the two palace maids quickly lowered their heads.

Empress Dowager Xu said to the general manager: "Since you have so many questions, go to Fangli Villa to find out." But after all, the four taels have saved the saint, you visit and visit, but you must be polite, go and do it immediately. ”

When the chief merchant stepped down, Empress Dowager Xu asked Qian Hongzuo: "Holy Lord, on the day of the incident, did Mu Quanan, the steward who served in the Washing Heart Hall, save the driver?" ”

Qian Hongzuo said angrily: "No! When Si Liang rushed to the pool, the screen was knocked down by him, and I saw Mu Quanan dodging backwards and did not come forward to save the driver! ”

Empress Dowager Xu was thoughtful, and said silently for a moment: "Speaking of martial arts, your father once specially looked for a head to teach the inner servants and palace maids martial arts. If there is no Xiaocheng in martial arts, he is not qualified to be the manager of the inner court. Empress Dowager Xu pointed to the two palace maids in the room and said, "They can serve by my side, most of them because they have good kung fu." After a pause, Empress Dowager Xu deduced: "If Mu Quanan knows martial arts, the first person to save at that time should be Mu Quanan, not the distant four taels." ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Please believe that the four taels are indeed saving me, not killing me." In the past few days, the scene of the assassin's assassination has often appeared in my mind, lingering, and every detail is vividly in my mind. No matter how flustered the child is, he can tell the difference; to kill me and to save me. ”

Empress Dowager Xu admitted: "The mourning family knows." Rest assured, the mourning family will never let anyone be embarrassed. It won't make him a scapegoat! ”

After Empress Dowager Xu finished speaking, she patted Qian Hongzuo's hand and gently reminded: "Holy Lord, you should go and listen to Mr. Lecture." ”

Qian Hongzuo got up and saluted: "Son, let's go." ”

Dusk was approaching, and Empress Dowager Xu sent someone to summon Qian Hongzuo to Yangyuan Water Pavilion for dinner together. Empress Dowager Xu was very busy with state affairs, and her meals were simple. Generally, it is carried out hastily in the place where government affairs are handled. Dining with Qian Hongzuo, from time to time, all by the summons of the Queen Mother, the main purpose is to enjoy family love, and what to eat is secondary.

Yangyuan Water Pavilion is close to the imperial kitchen, built near the water, and there is a nine-curved corridor in front of it. There are all kinds of seasonal flowers on the corridor, and the shallow water under the corridor is clear, horizontal as a mirror, and there are schools of swimming fish, playing happily. If the Queen Mother and the King dine together, it is generally arranged here. In order to make the quiet environment set off the atmosphere of dining warm and pleasant.

When Qian Hongzuo came to the corridor of Yangyuan Water Pavilion, Empress Dowager Xu was standing on the corridor feeding the fish, beside the head of Shang, and the guards and palace maids were standing next to the water pavilion farther away.

Qian Hongzuo stepped forward and bowed to greet him, Empress Dowager Xu smiled and nodded, and then said to the head of the business: "Manager Shang, tell the saint carefully about what you visited in Fangli Villa." ”

The head of Shang bowed to Qian Hongzuo and said, "Holy Lord, I went to see the little disciple named Siliang today. He also asked some people he knew well......"

Without waiting for the general manager to finish speaking, Qian Hongzuo asked eagerly, "Is Siliang's injury okay?" ”

The general manager said briefly: "Although I can't walk around the ground yet, I am conscious. ”

Qian Hongzuo asked again: "Is the wound medicine brought by Imperial Doctor Wang enough?" If it is not enough, quickly order the imperial hospital to send it over. ”

The general manager said repeatedly: "Yes, yes." ”

Qian Hongzuo asked again: "Can you eat four taels?" Is there anything specifically for him to make some nourishment? ”

Chief Shang opened his mouth, bowed his head and said, "This servant didn't ask." ”

Seeing that Qian Hongzuo was displeased when he heard this, Empress Dowager Xu hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Don't you want to know how the Holy Lord found out about the assassin that day?" ”

Qian Hongzuo's focus immediately turned around and asked, "How did he find out that there was an assassin?" ”

Shang Zongguan: "According to his own words, he was originally admiring the paintings on the beams of the Washing Heart Hall, but he saw the reflection of the blade, and he was not sure at first, but when he saw the assassin flying down, he realized that someone was going to assassinate the saint, and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him." Fortunately, he had a long piano box containing the yaoqin in his hand, which he grabbed casually and used as a weapon to block. ”

Qian Hongzuo sincerely admired: "This is the real alertness!" Where is it like you said, who can do martial arts and light skills? ”

The general manager of Shang defended: "This kid is really good at martial arts and light skills. He himself admitted that the owner of Fangli Villa and those who were familiar with him also said the same. ”

Qian Hongzuo was puzzled: "His master is a disabled person, who did he learn martial arts and light skills from?" ”

Shang Zongguan: "At the age of four, two or five, he entered Fangli Villa, and at the beginning he did not worship Qu Liuzhen as a teacher, but was arranged to learn acrobatics in the martial arts class that had just been created at that time, mainly to learn martial arts and jiu-jitsu. It is said that because of the harsh training methods of the martial arts class, many children died early because they could not stand the pain during the practice. To this day, not a single disciple has been ordained. So this class, even I don't know. ”

Qian Hongzuo's eyes appeared in front of him, with four taels of shoulders on his shoulders, holding a long piano box, and a steady and upright posture, and he believed most of them. asked: "Since Si Liang is a disciple of the martial arts class, how did he become Qu Liuzhen's apprentice?" ”

The merchant replied, "It's a long story. When Qu Liuzhen was young, he was a famous singer all over the world. Just when he was red, he was seriously injured and became disabled. Since then, all thoughts have been lost, idle in the imitation pear villa, and he is not willing to accept apprentices at all. But by chance, Siliang officially worshipped him as a teacher. ”

Qian Hongzuo was very grateful for Siliang's life-saving grace, and was very concerned about his affairs, and asked, "What chance?" ”

Shang Zongguan: "Eight years ago, Qu Liuzhen, who had been crippled and idle, went to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha. On the way back, I happened to meet people from Imitation Pear Villa, buying children in the street market. Si Liang's parents sold him for four taels, and those who imitated Pear Villa could get two taels at most. For this extra two taels of silver, four taels and his parents begged bitterly. After Qu Liuqing saw it, he was moved for a while, so he took out his private money and gave it to his parents. Because of the love of giving silver, the four taels are very grateful. Although he is a junior disciple of the martial arts class, he often goes to Quliuqi's residence to clean and serve. has been working for three or four years, and a five or six-year-old child has been so grateful that Qu Liuyu gradually developed a good impression of him. Later, Qu Liuyu fell seriously ill, but fortunately, he was cured thanks to the careful care of Siliang. After he recovered from his illness, he officially accepted four taels as apprentices. ”

Qian Hongzuo sighed: "No wonder their master-apprentice relationship is far better than others, as the so-called adversity sees the truth." ”

Shang Zongguan: "The martial arts of the four taels are the foundation of the martial arts class, but at the same time, there is also the guidance of other masters? ”

Qian Hongzuo asked, "What master?" ”

Chief Shang glanced at Empress Dowager Xu, and saw that she had no intention of stopping it, so he replied: "It's the two brothers Ma Datong and Ma Dahe, who once served as the generals of the forbidden army. These two are real practitioners, and in the imperial guard competition, Ma Datong was ranked first, and Ma Dahe was second only to him. If you talk about martial arts, they are all rare masters. ”

Qian Hongzuo thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't remember these two people, and said: "Since the martial arts are so strong, why doesn't King Gu remember that there are these two people in the forbidden army?" Why do they teach martial arts to Siliang? Si Liang is just a nameless little apprentice, how can he be favored by martial arts masters? ”

Shang Zongguan: "Ma Datong, Ma Da and the two of them are the minions of the Ma clan after the king was abolished." Because of his sin, he was confiscated into slavery and worked as a miscellaneous servant in the imitation pear villa, so the saint did not recognize it. Before Ma was repelled by the first king, he loved the music of the piano and rewarded him a lot. Ma Datong, Ma Dahe and the two had some dealings with Qu Liuzhen at that time. After they went to Fangli Villa as a handyman for their sins, others avoided them, but Qu Liuyu was still close to them. Because of this relationship, the two taught martial arts to Siliang. ”

Qian Hongzuo's mother and son were also persecuted by the first king after the abolition, Qian Hongzuo didn't expect that the four taels who saved him had something to do with the minions of the Ma family after the abolition, he looked at his mother, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Empress Dowager Xu sighed and said: "Qu Liuyu is a generation of famous singers, his singing and dancing skills, the mourning family witnessed it many years ago, and he was shocked. How good it would be if there was only one master in the four and two. There is a sense of regret.
