Chapter IV: The Case of Murder (1)
There are still three or four zhang away from the gate of the lacquer pillar, only to hear the sound of "squeak" The door opened, and an old man led a large group of people out of the door, everyone was lined up on both sides, and the old man in Tsing Yi took the lead to greet him, standing one zhang away from Zhu Wenyu, bending down and respectfully saying: "Nangong Wang led the disciples of Nangong to welcome the thousands of households." ”
This Zhu Wenyu was secretly proud, and thought: "This official is majestic, there is pomp and circumstance everywhere, and even the master of the first family of martial arts has to go out to greet him." Although he was proud in his heart, he never dared to put on a show in front of the head of the first martial arts family, and he was deeply favored by Nangong Lei, and he also had a lot of respect for the Nangong family.
Zhu Wenyu bowed respectfully: "Don't dare to greet the master of the door." The boy Zhu Wenyu came to the Nangong family to report the news at the behest of the imperial court, and mourned the main festival of the door. ”
"Don't dare, Lord Qianhu, please." "Ruthless Divine Sword" Nangong Wang waved sideways.
"Door master, please." Zhu Wenyu bowed down again and let his hand go. Zhu Wenyu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he is very familiar with the etiquette on these tables.
After entering the door, I saw that the main house had set up Nangong Lei Ling Hall. Seeing the hall full of white clothes and white flags, Zhu Wenyu's heart for days of play gradually retracted, and the long-lost pathos surged from his heart again, his nose was sour and he almost shed tears, and took out the small jar of ashes of the "Thunder Swordsman" Nangong Lei from his underwear and held it in his hand.
Nangong Wang was about to take it, but when he saw Zhu Wenyu ignoring him, he took out the Thunder Sword again, and placed it on the altar offering table with the ashes jar, took two steps back and bowed to the ground, kowtowing a few times.
Nangong Wang hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "If your brother is not talented, how dare you be such a great gift to the Lord of a Thousand Households." ”
"The master of the door doesn't know that Zhu Wenyu is deeply influenced by Leibo's teaching, and he is like a father and son......"
"Oh, the anonymous disciple mentioned in the previous letter turned out to be Lord Qianhu? The one who helps the soul as a filial son in the capital is also an adult? ”
"Exactly. The kid didn't dare to call the door master so, but the door master still called me Wen Yu like Lei Bo. ”
"Oh, then please ask Zhu Gongzi to talk about it in detail first." The two walked into the side room of the mourning hall, and a Nangong disciple came over and guarded the door silently, and even Zhou Yuan blocked the door.
"No wonder the emperor asked you to help the soul to report the news, I see. The Holy One was really thoughtful. Listening to Zhu Wenyu's detailed account of the past few years, Nangong Wang sighed. That being the case, the old man asked the lord to call Wen Yu. ”
"Most of the time, Leber still calls me a little monkey, and the emperor's uncle also calls me that." Although Zhu Wenyu still had tears on his face, he showed a naughty smile.
Nangong looked at countless people, and he could see the naughty heart that Zhu Wenyu tried his best to suppress, and couldn't help but show a smile, and said in his heart: "No wonder Brother Lei likes this son, he is smart and naughty, and he has a unique fate, and he is indeed a strange talent." ”
"In this case, what is Wen Yu's next step? How to track down the mastermind behind the murder of his brother? If you need Nangong Gate's help, the Nangong family will naturally do it. Nangong Wang thought to himself that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't send others to send you to follow up the clues, so he naturally wanted to use the relationship between you and Nangong Lei to gain the support of the Nangong family.
"I've talked to Brother Zhou Yuan about some ......"
"Iron beggar, dragon Zhou Yuan, Zhou Daxia and Wen Yu came together, presumably they are already intertwined." Hearing Zhu Wenyu mention Zhou Yuan, Nangong Wang interjected.
"This old man called Hanako and I smell the same, and I worshipped him." Zhu Wenyu was not used to this kind of Sven talk, and after saying a few words, he was already impatiently exposed, and couldn't help but show a naughty smile. "Door master, did you call Brother Zhou in?"
"Hehe, the Iron Beggar Shenlong Zhou Yuan is the junior brother of the beggar gang leader 'Iron Hand Tianlong' Xie Fei, the eight-bag elder of the Beggar Gang, he has always seen the head of the dragon but not the end, a master and strange person, I didn't expect to worship Wen Yu, it is also a good story." Nangong looked at the door, Nangong disciple raised his hand, and said with a smile.
"Door master, what are you saying bad things about me in the back?" After listening to Zhou Yuan's voice for a while, he came into the house.
"It's always called Hanako, so you still have such a big background? You actually kept me secret, are you the boss like you? The master of the door said that you Shenlong saw the head but did not see the tail, when did it grow a tail? Why didn't I see it? Before Nangong Wang could speak, Zhu Wenyu was already making fun of him unscrupulously, and he heard Nangong Wang's laughter, although he had seen that Zhu Wenyu was young and naughty, but he didn't expect to be so scoundrel.
"Hey, hey, hey, you kid didn't ask me again, besides, I've always been lonely and lazy, and I never care about things in the gang, otherwise how would I be similar to the smell of your stinky boy walking all the way?"
"Phew! Ha ha. "The more Zhu Wenyu talks, the less he looks like a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and he is completely a gangster.
"Brother Zhou hasn't seen him for many years, but his demeanor is still the same. I don't know what to do, I need to be able to receive Wen Yu politely, there are many snubs, and I ask Brother Zhou to forgive me. Nangong Wang stood up and clasped his fists.
"Haha, where, it's been more than ten years since the master took over the Nangong family, and it seems that he is getting more and more energetic, presumably this master of the door should have a taste, my old name is Hanako, but it's far behind." He raised his chin and gestured to Zhu Wenyu: "I've never seen Xiao Lai Pi pretending to be a member of the court, seeing that he is pretending to be uncomfortable, I am about to laugh miserably." The owner of the door was also deceived by this kid's dog-like appearance, right? Haha, this kid can pretend to be like this for a while, and he can't hold back his true face for half an hour. Do you think this monkey can sing? Hahahaha. Zhou Yuan laughed loudly. Nangong Wang thought about it, and he couldn't help laughing, but his self-respecting identity wanted to maintain the majesty of the door master, and his temperament was different, after all, it was not like Zhou Yuan's laughter without scruples and decency, and he stopped after a few sounds, but the atmosphere in the room was obviously much more relaxed, but it also diluted a lot of pathos.
"Just now Wen Yu said that his younger brother Nangong Lei, the emperor and King Yan suspect that the lord is either rich or noble, and even the powerful people in the court may not be able to say, I am afraid that there is a major conspiracy, I want Wen Yu to find some clues from the rivers and lakes, I don't know what Brother Zhou has to say."
"Well, I'm also trying to discuss this with the door master. Obviously, although this is a matter for the imperial court, if it has not been peaceful for many years today, the people can no longer withstand the scourge of war, and they can't even withstand the big toss. If there is any chaos in the court, or if someone is plotting to rebel, it will inevitably cause an uproar. The Nangong family and my beggar gang are both big names on the rivers and lakes, of course, you and I are obligated to help the stinky boy, so as not to suffer the people. Moreover, since ancient times, 'chivalry is forbidden by martial arts', the imperial court has always used and guarded against the people in our rivers and lakes, if there are people who practice martial arts involved in the affairs of the court, and can not help the emperor Lao'er share his worries, I am afraid that the imperial court will be prejudiced against our martial arts people, if the emperor Lao'er has a heart to strictly rectify and transfer officers and soldiers to deal with the people in the martial arts, it will be a catastrophe for the people in our rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that it will also be a catastrophe in the world. The Thunder Swordsman was killed by people, and although the murderer was also killed by the Thunder Swordsman on the spot, the main envoy behind this scene really needs to be investigated. In any case, in public and private, we have to help the stinky boy, the court can't afford to offend, helping him is helping us. Zhou Yuan is accustomed to walking the rivers and lakes and is well-informed, and Nangong Wang nodded again and again in contemplation.
Zhou Yuan continued: "Since the opponent is either rich or expensive, he can drive the soul of the waning moon hook, so naturally he is not small, and he can't be easily provoked. This time, since the emperor Lao'er just wanted the stinky boy to search for clues in the rivers and lakes, he naturally didn't want to make a big move, so as not to startle the snake, which is also a good thing. My beggar gang and your Nangong family are not small in the rivers and lakes, and they don't need to come forward to support them directly, but they can send their disciples to help the stinky boy and help secretly. The beggar gang is naturally my old name Hanako to take the lead, accompany him to the rivers and lakes, and the owner of the door may have to send one or two people to follow him. ”
"Well, what Brother Zhou said is comprehensive, and he is indeed reasonable and thoughtful. This needs to be well planned. It's just that the Nangong family has ancestral training, and there are no more than three disciples walking in the rivers and lakes at the same time, in addition to the younger brother Nangong Lei, there are also Nangong Yu and Nangong Zhi. Nangong Wang groaned, he actually didn't want to get involved in this dispute, especially if it was a fight between people in the court, and it would not be of any benefit to the Nangong family. It's just that this time Nangong Lei was assassinated and died tragically, and there is an imperial order, if you ignore it, it will greatly damage the reputation of the Nangong family, after a little thought, he continued: "When my brother died, the people of the Nangong family who walked the rivers and lakes have to make up for the number of three, I asked Nangong Ling to accompany Wen Yu and help together." ”
"Who is this Nangong Ling? I've never heard of Hanako. Zhu Wenyu was playing with the antiques on the wall shelf, and when he saw himself, he also looked at it with concern.
"Ling'er is the youngest son of her cousin Nangong Fei, who is only eighteen years old this year, and has never walked around the rivers and lakes, so Brother Zhou naturally never knew about it. Ling'er practiced the ruthless swordsmanship of my Nangong Gate, and was taught by his old cousin Nangong Mu, who was considered a better person in the next generation. I arranged him mainly because he has a calm temperament, and he is similar to Wen Yu's age, young people are easy to get along with, and they can move and be still, and I also hope to have the effect of 'making up for the shortcomings'. To put it mildly, there are talented people in the country, and a new generation of people replaces the old, and it is time for their younger generations to go out for a walk and have a long experience. ”
