Chapter 22: Father and Daughter

Tokyo is rich and charming, and when Murong Fu first came here, he was also looking forward to lingering and opening his eyes.

According to Li Qingzhao's letter, her cousin married a minister of the court, and now that cousin-in-law is deeply respected by the Holy Master, so he ascended to heaven alone, and even took their family to receive the emperor's grace.

His father, Li Gefei, was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Rites.

Murong Fu didn't care much about it, but it wasn't until Li Qingzhao said that her cousin-in-law was Zuo Cheng, the Shangshu of the current imperial court, that Murong Fu couldn't help but be shocked!

He intends to recover Dayan, and he is also quite concerned about the situation in the courts of various countries, and naturally knows who Zuo Cheng, the Shangshu of the Song Dynasty is, is also.

Even people who are not familiar with history have heard his name, this person is Cai Jing, who was called "the head of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty" by later generations.

Murong Fu didn't expect that Li Qingzhao and Cai Jing still had this relationship, but his hand couldn't reach the internal ministers and officials of the Song Dynasty now, so he was only slightly surprised, and he didn't mean to contact the other party.

After staying in Tokyo for half a month, Murong Fu accompanied Li Qingzhao around almost every day, which was a rare relaxation.

And Li Qingzhao's favorability towards him has also increased from eighty to ninety-five at the beginning, as long as he goes through some more time of polishing, I believe that his merits will soon be completed.

After bidding farewell to the Li family's father and daughter, Murong Fu left Tokyo.

The day after returning to Gusu, he came to a tavern, and after letting Xiao Er serve some random wine and food, he ate it.

At this time, a father and daughter walked into the hall in the dust.

I saw that the middle-aged man was rickety, holding a cane, staggering, and the girl beside him was about thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a lute, with a thin figure, unkempt hair, and a dark complexion, looking like a little beggar on the street.

The two of them saw that the tavern was full of people, and after looking around, they fell on Murong Fu, and among these diners, his clothes were the most luxurious.

The father and daughter walked over slowly, the middle-aged man had gray temples, his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was very sad, and he said in a low voice:

"This son is disturbed, the villain sees the son drinking alone, and has the courage to come up to perform, the little girl will play a few pipa songs, hoping to help the son to drink, if the son is happy, reward some silver, the villain is grateful, if it disturbs the interest of the son, he will not dare to stay longer."

Murong Fu's eyes fell on the girl on the side, seeing that her hair was yellow, her face was thin, and she looked malnourished at a glance, thinking that no matter when and where, there would be some people struggling to survive at the bottom of society, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion.

"Then let's play a few random songs and listen to them!"

He picked up his glass and said something nonchalty.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked his daughter to play the music.

The thin yellow girl held the heavy pipa and began to play it lightly, although Murong Fu was not very good at the rhythm of music, but the basic ancient rhyme and sound could still distinguish one or two, as the Qing Yue melodious, the heart-swinging piano sound gradually stopped, and many diners in the tavern glanced at it curiously.

Murong Fu bowed slightly, and after letting her play a few more songs, he took out a few pieces of broken silver and threw them to the middle-aged man.

"Thank you, thank you, Childe!"

The middle-aged man pulled the girl and bowed to him again and again to thank him.

Murong Fu waved his hand, not showing concern.

"Singer, come and play a few songs for Uncle Ben."

In the corner, a man with a gangster face shouted.

Although the middle-aged man was timid, he still walked over with his daughter and asked, "This uncle, I don't know what song you want to hear?" ”

The man glanced at the three people at the same table, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer: "This is your daughter?" ”

"Yes......"

The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice.

"It's a clever hand, I don't know how my voice is? Can you sing a few times to Uncle Ben? ”

"This ...... Back to the uncle, my daughter contracted a cold a few days ago and coughed up her throat, and I hope the uncle will take care of it. ”

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed.

"Lao Tzu let her sing and sing, do you dare to spoil our brother's interest?"

The man's eyes were round and his face was fierce, and he grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"Uncle is angry, uncle is angry!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly said: "The little man's words are true, don't dare to deceive the uncles!" ”

The man and the other three glanced at each other, and a cold glint flashed in one of them's eyes, and he immediately understood, and grabbed the middle-aged man's neck, only to hear a click, and actually broke his neck directly.

This change was unexpected by everyone present, and no one expected that the man would suddenly kill the man with his daughter.

And the girl was stunned for a moment, and forgot to cry for a while.

Seeing that someone had been killed, the diners in the tavern immediately screamed and fled most of them immediately, for fear that they would be harmed.

"Hey, hey, a bunch of cowards!"

The man threw the middle-aged man's body on the ground casually, his face full of pride.

A tall and thin man sitting next to him, with a pair of narrow eyes, couldn't help but look at the girl, and said with a wicked smile: "It's a girl, this pipa skill is also good, buy it in the Qinglou in Tokyo, I'm afraid it can be exchanged for a lot of silver taels." ”

"It's a pity that it looks ugly, although I have craftsmanship, I'm afraid it won't be a red card."

The other said gloomily.

"Hurry up and take people away, but don't be entangled by the people of the government."

The little one of the four muttered discontentedly, and grabbed the girl.

In their opinion, it is just a windfall at the moment, anyway, the father and daughter have nothing to do when they see it, and they will kill them.

When he saw that the short man's hand was about to grasp the girl's body, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, and then he saw a palm fall to the ground.

He was stunned for a moment, and then a piercing pain came from his wrist, blood gushed out, and he almost fainted from being frightened.

"Fourth!"

When the other three saw this, they stood up in shock.

I saw that in front of the girl, a young man in brocade clothes appeared at some point, holding a cold sword.

Murong Fu was already quite sympathetic to the father and daughter, although he saw the ill intentions of these people, but he didn't expect that person to suddenly kill the killer, even if he didn't have time to react.

Seeing that these people were moving towards the girl, he couldn't help it anyway.

"Stinky boy, you're looking for death!"

Looking at Murong Fu holding a sword in front of him, the tall man didn't need to look for any murderer, he pulled out a big knife behind him and slashed at him.

Murong Fu's expression was indifferent, just a sword light flashed, and the big man's entire arm was slashed out with a big sword.

Before he could scream, a sudden chill in his neck caused hot blood to gush out, and the big man clutched his neck, took a few steps back with a frightened and unwilling face, and then fell to the ground with a thud, no longer alive.
