Chapter 11 The Murong Family
On the morning of the second day, Zhang Xun and Simei went to Lu Changxing to eat a bowl of secret fried fish noodles by themselves, and then returned to the residence, ready to watch the painting "Simei Travels to Jiangnan" completed last night. After coming to the study, after Zhang Xun hung up the painting, Simei's eyes never left. Zhang Xun didn't want to disturb the interest of the four ladies, so he went to the hall to think about "Murong". After thinking about it for an hour, Zhang Xun suddenly slapped his thigh with his hand and said, "Inquire about the news, how did I forget the beggar gang." There are many disciples of the beggar gang, and they have always been well-informed. ”
Simei had already returned to the hall at this time, so Zhang Xun said a word to them and went out alone. In that Zheng County investigation, Zhang Xun had a deal with the beggar gang, and there was no problem in finding the person who was the rudder of the beggar gang in Suzhou Mansion. In a dilapidated land temple, Zhang Xun saw a middle-aged beggar sitting on the ground and gnawing on chicken legs, and his identity should not be low in Suzhou. Zhang Xun stepped forward and asked, "Is this eldest brother a member of the beggar gang?" The middle-aged beggar replied: "I'm just a stinky beggar who begs for food, what kind of beggar gang is not a beggar." Zhang Xun said: "I am Zhang Xun, and I have dealt with your gang in Zheng County, or I can't find you." This time, I came to ask for your help, and I asked this big brother to make it convenient. What Zhang Xun didn't know was that the old beggar he met in Zheng County was not just a beggar gang elder as he thought, but Jiang Zhige, the leader of the beggar gang. When the leader of the Jiang gang returned to the Luoyang headquarters after leaving Zheng County, he had already ordered the beggar gang to look for help, and all the rudders must do their best not to shirk. As soon as the middle-aged beggar heard that this person called himself Zhang Xun, he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Zhang Xun's son, the contemptible Wang Han, and the helmsman of Suzhou for this beggar." I don't know what you want me to help me, Gongzi Zhang?" Zhang Xun returned the salute and said: "Lord Wang Helm, I have something to find this Suzhou "Murong", but Suzhou is not familiar to me. I have heard that the beggar gang is the most well-informed, and I am tired of helping me to find out. As soon as Wang Han heard Zhang Xun talk about Murong, he knew that he was the head of the Murong family in Suzhou, which was known as "Gusu Murong" in the rivers and lakes. But which son or lady of the Murong family is the target of this Zhang Xun? After thinking about it, it is better to investigate first, and then said to Zhang Xun: "Zhang Gongzi, I will meet at Songyu Tower at noon in three days, and then my subordinates will take you to the private room, and I will personally hand over the detailed information I heard to you." Zhang Xun took out a 200,000 taels of silver ticket and handed it to Wang Han and said: "Zhang Xun has thanked the king helmsman first, please help the brothers drink with this little money, and please smile." ”
After Zhang Xun said goodbye to Wang Han, he left the Land Temple and returned home. Zhang Xing and Zhang Qianwen, Zhang Xiuya and Zhang Ming were fighting in pairs in the small courtyard, Zhang Xun watched, and had nothing to do, so he just pointed out the children's kung fu. Zhang Xun opened his mouth and said, "You stop first and rest for a quarter of an hour." Wait a minute, use your best kung fu to attack Daddy with all your might, and Daddy will personally guide you. After a burst of fists and legs, Zhang Xun pointed out the children's shortcomings one by one, and asked the children to strengthen their training and went to the hall.
Three days passed in a flash, and at noon Zhang Xun came to the door of Songhe Tower, and a beggar disciple of the Pure Clothes Sect led Zhang Xun to the private room on the third floor. Wang Han said to Zhang Xun: "Gongzi Zhang, let me give you a brief introduction to this Murong family! The Murong family is the largest hidden family in Suzhou Mansion and even in the entire Xia Kingdom, and it has been known to outsiders for the past hundred years. The current head of the family is named Murong Wuru, who is in his fifties, and his martial arts have reached the peak of the transformation realm. The gang leader once fought with him, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser within a hundred moves. And the "Murong" you are looking for should be Murong Shuang, the ruthless second daughter. This Murong Shuang is quite proficient in disguise techniques, and he has always been elusive. Therefore, the woman's methods are ruthless, and the people in the rivers and lakes gave her the nickname of "Witch with a Thousand Faces". I only know the name of the Suzhou rudder, and I don't know anything else. I'm ashamed! I'm afraid I won't be able to help my son this time. Zhang Xun said: "Where is it!" Wang Duo is polite, and Zhang Xun is already very happy to know the name Murong Shuang. Since this frost girl is not easy to find, let her find me. Just ask Lord Wang to help me pass on the information, just say that I have an urgent matter to find her, and it is best to let everyone in Suzhou City know. Wang Han said: "This thing is easy to do, and the biggest advantage of the beggar gang is that there are many disciples." After finishing the matter, the two began to drink and enjoy the delicacies of the Songhe Tower.
For the next three days, Zhang Xun still instructed the children every morning, and in the afternoon, he accompanied Simei to walk around Suzhou City. Zhang Xun had no choice but to wait for this Murong Shuang to come to him. That night, Zhang Xun was reading in the study, and when he heard movement in his small courtyard, he went out to take a look. It turned out to be a masked girl who came in, and Zhang Xun said, "Qingben beauty, why be a thief?" The masked girl whipped Zhang Xun and said, "Didn't you kid tell that group of dead people to preach that they were looking for their aunt and grandmother." Zhang Xun was willing to be whipped by this crazy girl, so he took a drunken step, moved left and right, and played. This angered the crazy girl, and said fiercely: "If I can't draw you today, my aunt and grandmother won't be Murong Shuang." Zhang Xun still wanted to continue to play leisurely with this girl, but suddenly felt dizzy, and said secretly: "It's not good, I fell into this ghost girl's drug." And he fainted. When Xinlan heard the movement and came out to check, Murong Shuang had already taken away the fainted Zhang Xun, and there was only one piece of paper on the ground that read, "Aunt Zhang Xun, I took it away." Murong Shuang stayed. This can make Xinlan anxious, and immediately go back to the room to wake up Wen Xin, Bihe, and Yuchan, and go out to find Zhang Xun. It's just that Simei caught up with Murong Shuang.
Zhang Xun woke up and found that he was tied up strongly, and Murong Shuang's ghost girl was not here, I was afraid that she was sleeping. Zhang Xun tried to break free, and after a long time, he shook his head, I don't know what material this rope is made of, and the more he struggles, the tighter it is. Zhang Xun knew that his efforts were in vain, so he stopped his actions and secretly scolded himself for being too careless, and he was actually succeeded by this ghost girl. Looks like I'm going to have a smooth journey!Keep sleeping! I don't know how this girl will torment me tomorrow.
Zhang Xun was still dreaming, and the girl Murong Shuang walked in. Seeing that Zhang Xun was tied up and could sleep so fragrantly, he suddenly became angry, picked up the whip and whipped it at Zhang Xun, while shouting: "Grandma told you to sleep, smoke you to death." Zhang Xun woke up and looked at Murong Shuang and said, "I said that I, Zhang Xun, didn't offend you, is this the hospitality of your Murong family?" Murong Shuang said: "You are also worthy of being a guest of my Murong family, pity my sister Xue, who was abducted since childhood, was deceived by you and became your concubine." Zhang Xun was shocked: "What did you say?" Murong Shuang didn't reply, just took off the veil on his face. Zhang Xun was stunned when he saw Murong Shuang's face, it turned out that he was too similar to Wen Xin, if he wasn't obviously younger, I'm afraid he would think that this was Wen Xin. Zhang Xun said: "You mean that Zhong Wenxin is Murong Xue, the eldest daughter of Murong Ruthless, the head of the Murong family. Wait, I understand the meaning of "Murong can't come out, West Lake is hard to find", your Murong family was originally waiting for me to deliver it to the door in West Lake!" Murong Shuang said: "You are smart, my father is indeed going to clean you up in West Lake, although we don't know what you are doing, but we can analyze that you are definitely going to West Lake." As for how we know that Miss Wen Xin is my Snow Sister, I have to thank you as the Grandmaster of Painting Dao. Zhang Xun said: "Okay, you have vented your grievances for your sister, take me to see the head of the Murong family! I think Sister Xue in your mouth is looking for me everywhere with Xin Lan! Although they can't find here, your purpose is not to embarrass me, but to let Wen Xin recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!" At this time, a strong and powerful man's voice came from outside the door: "Okay, Shuang'er, go back to the house first, let Dad talk to this kid." ”
Murong Shuang hatefully untied the rope that bound Zhang Xun, and went out, the head of the Murong family came in and said to Zhang Xun: "Old man Murong is ruthless, you kid will tell me about the process of your acquaintance with Xue'er." Zhang Xun took out a bell from his pocket and said, "Don't be busy talking about this first, can you know this little bell Murong family master?" Murong said ruthlessly: "With this bell, it will not be wrong, this bell is a rare thing." It was obtained by the old man in the ruins of an ancient ruin when he was young, and I personally hung it around Xue'er's neck when she was one year old, and no one could take it off if she did not want to. Zhang Xun saw that Zhong Wenxin's identity was indeed Murong Xue, so he told his father-in-law who had not yet known each other from beginning to end. After Murong ruthlessly listened, his mood calmed down and said, "The old man will give you two months to recognize Xue'er and the old man." Okay, now you can leave the old man's Murong Villa. ”
Zhang Xun returned home, Simei was in a hurry in the hall, and when she saw that her husband Junhao was back unharmed, she stepped forward and hugged Zhang Xun tightly one by one. Zhang Xun comforted: "Isn't it okay for me to be a husband, Xinlan, you take Bihe Yuchan to the kitchen to get me some food." After the third daughter left, Zhang Xun told Wen Xin about Wen Xin's life experience, and then sat there and waited quietly. Wen Xin's heart was very confused, and said to Zhang Xun: "Husband, let me think about it for a while before making a decision!" After speaking, he went back to his room.
The three daughters of Xinlan came back and saw that only the husband was sitting there, Wen Xin was gone, and she didn't know what the husband had just transferred the three of them away and said something to Wen Xin. However, the three women pretended not to know, and talked and laughed with Zhang Xun, ate supper, and then went to rest. Zhang Xun didn't go to Xinlan's room, but walked back and forth in the courtyard, sighing: "Hey! It's a pity that there are no cigarettes in this Wenchang Continent, so it's good to be able to smoke a cigarette when you're upset." ”
For a week, the family never left the house, and the atmosphere was very depressing. As for Wen Xin, the door was locked, and she only asked Yuchan to bring the food to her room during the meal, without saying a word. Zhang Xunkong was anxious but helpless. It wasn't until late at night on the last day that Wen Xin walked out of the room, found Zhang Xun and said, "I want Murong Shuang to come here to see me tomorrow." With that, he went back to his room. Zhang Xun only hoped that Murong Shuang could convince his second wife, and he would endure it when he went to Murong Villa tomorrow morning! Anyway, it was a little sister-in-law, and it was a family after all.
