The wealth and wealth in Tokyo are alluring. When Murong Fu first arrived here, he also looked around and it was an eye-opener.
According to Li Qingzhao's letter, her cousin married a minister of the court. Now the cousin's husband was highly regarded by the emperor, so one person became a chicken and a dog and ascended to heaven, and their family also received the emperor's favor.
His father, Li Gefei, was promoted to wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites.
Murong Fu didn't care much about it, but when Li Qingzhao said that her cousin-in-law was Zuo Cheng, the current minister of the imperial court, Murong Fu couldn't help being shocked!
He intended to restore Dayan, and he was also very concerned about the situation in the courts of various countries. Naturally, he knew who Zuo Cheng, the minister of the Song Dynasty, was.
Even people who are not familiar with history have heard of his name to some extent. This person was Cai Jing, the traitorous prime minister who was called "the leader of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty" by later generations.
Murong Fu didn't expect that Li Qingzhao and Cai Jing actually had such a relationship, but he couldn't reach out to the internal ministers and officials of Song Ting yet, so he was just a little surprised and had no intention of contacting the other party.
After staying in Tokyo for half a month, Murong Fu accompanied Li Qingzhao around almost every day, which was a rare moment of relaxation.
Li Qingzhao's favorability towards him has also increased from the initial eighty to ninety-five. As long as it takes some more time to polish, I believe that his merits will be perfected soon.
After bidding farewell to the Li family and his daughter, Murong Fu left Tokyo.
The day after returning to Suzhou, he went to a tavern, asked the waiter to serve some food and drinks, and then started eating.
At this time, a father and daughter walked into the museum dusty.
I saw the middle-aged man with a stooped figure, leaning on a cane, and stumbling. The girl next to him looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a pipa in her hand. She was thin, with disheveled hair, and dark complexion. He looks like a beggar on the street.
The two of them saw that the tavern was full of people. After looking around for a week, they landed on Murong Fu. Among the diners, his clothes were the most luxurious.
The father and daughter walked over slowly. The middle-aged man had gray hair on his temples and wrinkles on his face. He looked very sad and whispered:
"This young master is disturbing me. I saw him drinking alone and dared to come up to perform. My daughter can play a few pipa songs. I hope it can help the young master enjoy his drinking. If the young master is happy, I will reward you with some money. I will be very grateful. If you disturb me, The young master is in such a good mood that I don’t dare to stay any longer.”
Murong Fu's eyes fell on the girl beside him. He saw that her hair was yellow and her face was thin. She looked like she was malnourished. He thought that no matter when and where there would be some people struggling to survive at the bottom of society, he couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion. Heart comes.
"Then just play a few songs and listen!"
He picked up the wine glass and said something salty.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately asked his daughter to play music.
The thin yellow girl held the heavy pipa and began to play lightly. Although Murong Fu was not very good at music, he could still distinguish the basic sounds and colors of ancient rhymes. As the sound became clearer and melodious, the heart-stirring music gradually stopped. , many diners in the tavern glanced at this place curiously.
Murong Fu nodded slightly, and after letting her play a few more songs, he took out a few broken pieces of silver and threw them to the middle-aged man.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
The middle-aged man took the girl and bowed to him repeatedly to thank him.
Murong Fu waved his hand, seeming not to care.
"Singer, come here and play a few songs for me."
I saw a man with a gangly face shouting in the corner.
Although the middle-aged man was timid, he still walked over with his daughter and asked, "Master, what song do you want to listen to?"
The man glanced at the three people at the same table and said with a sneer, "Is this your daughter?"
"yes……"
The middle-aged man said with a trembling voice.
"My hands are really good, but I wonder how my voice is? Can you sing a few times for me to hear?"
"This... Sir, my daughter caught wind and cold a few days ago and coughed and broke her throat. I hope you can take care of her."
The middle-aged man looked confused.
"I ask her to sing as long as she wants. How dare you spoil our brother's interest?"
The man's eyes were wide-eyed and his face was fierce. He grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"Master, please calm down! Master, please calm down!"
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Everything I said is true, I don't dare to deceive you!"
The man and the remaining three people looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in the eyes of one of them. He immediately understood, grabbed the middle-aged man's neck, and with a click, he broke his neck.
This turn of events was unexpected by everyone present. No one expected that the man would suddenly kill the man who was performing with his daughter.
The girl also froze in place and forgot to cry for a moment.
Seeing that someone had been killed, the diners in the tavern immediately screamed and fled, fearing that they would be harmed.
"Hey, hey, a bunch of cowards!"
The man casually threw the middle-aged man's body on the ground with a proud look on his face.
A tall and thin man sitting next to him couldn't help but look at the girl with his narrow eyes, and said with a sinister smile: "She is a girl, and her pipa skills are also good. If she buys it in a brothel in Tokyo, I'm afraid she will be able to play it." Exchange a lot of silver."
"It's a pity that he looks so ugly. Even though he has skills, I'm afraid he won't get a red card."
Another person said sadly.
"Take the person away quickly, don't get caught up in the government."
The dwarf among the four muttered dissatisfiedly and grabbed the girl.
From their point of view, it was just a chance to make a fortune. Anyway, the father and daughter had no background at first sight, so they killed them.
Just as the dwarf's hand was about to grab the girl's body, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, and then saw a palm fall to the ground.
He was stunned for a moment, and then a heartbreaking pain came from his wrist, blood spurted out, and he almost fainted from the shock.
"Fourth!"
When the other three saw this, they stood up in shock.
I saw a young man in brocade clothes appearing in front of the girl. He was holding a sword with a cold glow.
Murong Fu originally sympathized with the father and daughter. Although he saw the evil intentions of these people, he did not expect that the person would suddenly kill him. Even he had no time to react.
Seeing these people attacking the girl, he couldn't bear it no matter what.
"You brat, you're looking for death!"
Looking at Murong Fu who was holding a sword in front of him, the tall man didn't need to look for another murderer. He pulled out a big knife behind him and chopped off his head.
Murong Fu looked indifferent, and with just a flash of sword light, the big man's entire arm and the sword were chopped off.
Before he could scream, his neck suddenly felt cold, and hot blood rushed out. The big man covered his neck, taking a few steps back with fear and unwillingness on his face, and then fell to the ground with a plop, never to be seen again. live.
