Chapter 10: The Old Man of Childhood

Speaking of this Song Hu's family background, it can be regarded as prominent.

His grandfather's name is Song Chaokai, and his uncle's name is Song Guoxing, both of whom were brave generals who followed the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the Quartet and fight the world, but they were all unfortunately killed on the battlefield.

Song Hu's father, Song Sheng, inherited the will of his father and brother, led the army to continue the war, and was appointed as the commander of the capital after Taizu ascended the throne, and successively led the army to guard Jiangxi, Datong, Shaanxi and other places, and was later transferred to the command of Liangzhou Wei.

During his time in Liangzhou, Gansu, Song Sheng fought against the Xifan Rebellion, resisted Hami Koubian, made outstanding achievements, and repeatedly promoted his military ranks, until he was later transferred to Kaiping in the border of the town, and was appointed as the vanguard of the left wing as Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan at that time, led the army out of the fortress to fight.

Because of this, Zhu Di was very fond of his military talent at that time.

Later, after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he still transferred Song Sheng to guard Liangzhou, and then not long after, the Battle of Jingyan broke out.

Song Sheng was far away at the border of Gansu at that time and did not participate, but his eldest son Song Xuan fought bloodily with the army of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in the Jianwen army, and finally died in Lingbi. It is said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is "deeply hated".

Later, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he did not blame Song Sheng for his son's affairs, but summoned him to the capital, appeased him with good words, and worshiped him as General Pingqiang. Later, he was awarded the Marquis of Xining for his merits, with 1,100 stones, and his descendants were hereditary marquises.

It is said that Zhu Di liked Song Sheng's military talents very much, and believed in him very much, and there was once a royal history to impeach Song Sheng without a report and act autocraticly, but Zhu Di said: "It is difficult to accomplish things if you are not specialized, and if the general is in charge of one side, how can you stick to grammar?"

The emperor's reliance and affection for Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, can be seen from this.

Now that Song Sheng, the Marquis of Xining, has died of illness, and his son is a knight, it was originally a normal thing.

But Song Hu and Ye Feng knew each other.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at the two righteous brothers, and from the expressions on their faces, he knew that they had also remembered.

Song Hu is the second son of Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, he is not very old, and he is a few years older than Ye Feng and them. Since childhood, he has an impulsive personality, and he is noble, and he is entangled with a group of children, and he makes trouble in the capital all day long, as if he is a little bully in the capital.

That year, Ye Feng was seven years old, and followed his father to go to Beijing with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to perform affairs, and his father and they went to the palace, and he ran to the street alone to wander around, and met this little overlord.

Song Hu was taking a group of children at that time and wanted to snatch the sugar man in Ye Feng's hands, but Ye Feng refused. There were three children next to him who couldn't see it, and they came to help Ye Feng, so the two sides fought.

Later, Ye Feng learned that the three children who helped when they saw injustice were Xia Xuan, Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Idiot.

There were many people on the other side, they were not opponents, and in the end, not only were the sugar men snatched away, but the four children were also beaten to shame by the other side.

They were naturally not convinced, so Xia Xuan thought of a way, and the four of them set up an ambush on the way home for Song Hu at night, and taught Song Hu a hard lesson, which was really vicious.

Ye Feng still remembers that after Song Hu was taught a lesson by them, he sat on the ground and cried while pointing at them and shouting: "One day, I will definitely seek revenge on you!"

But who would take a child's vow seriously?

After Ye Feng and his four children went through this incident, they all felt a little sympathetic to each other, and they hated each other, and they didn't know who proposed it, so the four of them twisted the soil into incense, knelt down to worship heaven and earth, and became brothers with different surnames. Since then, they are really brothers and sisters, and they are both official eunuchs, and the reputation of "Four Youths in Beijing" has gradually spread.

Since then, they have never dealt with this Song Hu again, and they have not even met. It's just that after he suddenly heard that after the emperor ascended the throne, not only did he not pursue the crime of dying for Jianwenjun in the battle of Jingjing, the boss of the Song family, but married his daughter Princess An Cheng to Song Hu.

Now I heard that he became the Marquis of Xining again, and he also led the army to guard the Gansu area, and I don't know if he still remembers the Liangzi between them back then, and I don't know if this is a curse or a blessing now?

Ye Feng shook his head and said: "Song Hu attacked the Marquis of Xining, this is a matter of course, but he is still under thirty years old, and if he wants to be the commander of the army to guard Gansu, I'm afraid his qualifications and abilities are not as good as his qualifications, right?"

Ma Jing said: "Why doesn't the emperor understand this? Using him to command the armies in Gansu is just to take advantage of his father's prestige of sitting in Gansu four times and holding the border passes for 20 years to temporarily control the army in Gansu. ”

Ye Feng nodded, he had already figured out this section, the emperor was really well-intentioned.

He opened his mouth and asked, "So where is this little Marquis Song now?"

Ma Jing sighed and said: "He has gone to Liangzhou to rectify the army and horses now, if he is still in Lanzhou, how dare others do anything to me? As soon as he set off half a month ago, I felt unwell, and then it became heavier and heavier, and even a famous doctor like Imperial Doctor Jian was helpless, it seems that His Royal Highness King Su is about to get what he wants." ”

Ye Feng frowned and asked, "Master Ma has always believed that it was instructed by His Royal Highness King Su, but what is the evidence?"

Ma Jing snorted: "He is deliberately trying to get rid of me, where will he leave any evidence? Besides, if I have half a point of evidence, I would have been played to the court a long time ago, can I still allow him to be so proud now?"

Ye Feng was silent, that is, there was no evidence.

Ma Jing continued: "Is there anything to doubt about this? How could anyone else be so bold except him? Over the years, King Su has gained fame in the northwest and is deeply loved by the military and the people, and the local officials in Gansu have all attached themselves to him. Now that the emperor has suddenly sent me to supervise the army, inspecting Gansu is undoubtedly the eyes and ears planted beside him, and he will naturally want to remove this thorn in my eye. ”

He said it logically, and Ye Feng was irrefutable for a while.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "If Lord Ma does not dislike it, I am willing to investigate this matter secretly and find out who the real murderer of the poison is." ”

Ma Jing was overjoyed when he heard this: "I really can't ask for it! I have long heard that Ye Gongzi is thoughtful and intelligent, and in the past few years, he has even solved strange cases and even won the favor of the emperor." Now that Ye Gongzi is willing to investigate this matter, he will definitely let those treacherous villains have nothing to hide, and let the truth be revealed to the world. ”

His series of beautiful words made Ye Feng a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head and didn't know how to answer for a while.

It seems that people are really in good spirits on happy occasions, Ma Jing was happy in his heart, and his complexion looked much better than just now, at this time he suddenly remembered, and asked: "I don't know what happened to a few sons who traveled thousands of miles to this desolate place in the northwest this time? It can't be that they came to visit me, an old fellow, right?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "We're just here to do some private things and find someone." Let's wait until Master Ma is well!"

He paused and said, "There is a good doctor from a famous family next to him, since Imperial Doctor Jian and they haven't come up with a way to detoxify, it is better to invite her to come and give it a try." ”

Ma Jing actually didn't believe it in his heart when he heard this, even an old doctor like Imperial Doctor Jian, who was highly respected and had served as a royal physician in the palace, was helpless, what kind of famous doctor could you have around Ye Feng who could beat him?

But he couldn't bear to disobey Ye Feng's kindness, so he had to agree.

In fact, Ye Feng also had a small abacus in his heart, he didn't tell Ma Jing that the good doctor next to him was actually a young girl, he was afraid that Ma Jing would have a contempt in his heart after hearing this, so he refused in one bite.

Cheng Nianzhen's medical skills, no one knows better than him. Maybe in today's world, except for a few characters such as her father Cheng Sansi who are known as miracle doctors and have no end in sight, few people can beat her. Not to mention these so-called doctors who are bent on fame and fortune.

Even the golden toad poison in her body has a way to cure it, I am afraid that there are very few poisons in the world that can stump her, Ye Feng has absolute confidence in her.

After a few more greetings, Ye Feng got up and said goodbye.

After walking out of the Ma Mansion, Ye Feng lowered his head and walked silently while thinking about something.

At this time, Xie Zhenliang beside him suddenly asked, "Fourth, do you really want Miss Cheng to detoxify Ma Jing?"

Ye Feng raised his head and asked, "Save people's lives, is there anything wrong with this?"

Xie Zhenliang shook his head: "It's not good, I just think that Ma Jing's poisoning is a bit strange, it's not that simple." ”

Ye Feng had a smile on his face: "Second brother can also see it?"

Zhang Fatzi on the side heard it in a fog and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Xie Zhenliang frowned: "If you want to poison people's lives, naturally the more violent the poison, the faster the attack, the better, the world sees blood to seal the throat, and there are many kinds of intestinal poisons, why is it that Ma Jing has been lingering on the sickbed for half a month now, but it is not fatal?"

Zhang Fatzi's expression was a little blank, and he responded: "Yes, why?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the person who gave the poison does not understand the poison, or he can't bear it, and the dose is not enough, and the toxicity is not enough." ”

Xie Zhenliang shook his head and said: "This is not very likely, if you want to poison others, you will never be merciful when you are naturally poisoned, how can you not poison enough?"

Ye Feng nodded in agreement and said, "So, the most likely is the second possibility, the person who poisoned him actually didn't want Ma Jing's life at all, and it was also a chronic poison, and it was not fatal." ”

Zhang Fatzi shook his head when he heard this: "This is even more impossible, since you don't want to harm people's lives, why do you want to poison them?"

Ye Feng smiled: "This needs us to investigate, but I always feel that this matter should have something to do with the black armor guards under Ma Jing." ”

Zhang Fatzi suddenly understood: "You mean, someone poisoned to force Ma Jing to use the black armor guard to deal with ......"

Ye Feng covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, don't talk nonsense, this is just speculation, you must know that there are people who care about every move we make now!"

Zhang Fatzi was taken aback: "Someone is following?"

He turned back suddenly, and saw two men in cloth clothes suddenly bowing their heads and turning into the corner.

Ye Feng nodded: "As soon as we came out of the Ma Mansion, these two people followed. ”

Zhang Fatzi said angrily: "I'll go and catch them and see who they are?"

Ye Feng grabbed him and shook his head: "No need, I know who they are." ”

He looked at the two men who were hiding in the corner with their heads down, just when King Su Zhu Ao walked out of the horse mansion, Ye Feng had seen these two people, they were following King Su at that time, and it seemed that they should be King Su's guards.

They are the people of the king!

But why did Zhu Ao, the king of Su, send someone to follow them?
