Song Xing hurried back to Gusu City and entered the sixth gate. Lu Huiqing was burying his head in front of the bed, reviewing official documents.
Seeing Song Xing enter, Lu Huiqing put down the ink pen in his hand and asked, "How many years have you been following me?"
Song Xing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "More than four years, almost five years."
Lu Huiqing came to Gusu five years ago to serve as the Liumen Jinzhang, and then took a fancy to the shrewd and capable Song Xing, and promoted him all the way to the silver medal to catch the head, which was regarded as a kindness to him.
Lu Huiqing pointed to the transfer order on the table and said: "There is a transfer order issued in the capital. Soon I will leave Suzhou and go to Tokyo to take up a post."
Hearing this, Song Xing cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on the golden medal."
Lu Huiqing was originally a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou. During the reign of Wang Anshi of the Shenzong Dynasty, as a political advisor, he helped Wang Anshi promote several new legal reforms such as the Qingmiao Law and the Municipal Yi Law. He was highly regarded by Wang Anshi and Shenzong.
After the death of Shenzong, Zhezong succeeded to the throne. Because the Empress Dowager Gao controlled the government at a young age, she activated the conservatives headed by Sima Guang and abolished the New Deal. Lu Huiqing was also kicked out of the power center in the capital and sent to Suzhou to take charge of the six gates.
In the eighth year of Yuanyou, Empress Dowager Gao passed away. After Zhezong came to power, he once again activated the New Party and supported the reform. It seemed that Lu Huiqing would be reused soon after arriving in the capital, so Song Xing congratulated him on his promotion.
Lu Huiqing waved her hand and said bluntly to Song Xing: "After I go to the capital, I plan to let you control the six gates of Pingjiang Mansion."
Seeing Song Xing's unfazed expression, Lu Huiqing secretly nodded appreciatively: "You are young and energetic, serious about work and daring to work hard. Although your qualifications are slightly lower, it is not a big problem for you to be the best among the six sects. "
Song Xing nodded. The jade seal originally asked him to win the Golden Medal of Pingjiang Prefecture within one year. Unexpectedly, Lu Huiqing took the initiative to give him a surprise.
As for the other competitive Yinzhang arresters in Pingjiang Prefecture, Song Xing really didn't regard them as opponents in terms of strength.
Song Xing bowed and clasped his fists at Lu Huiqing and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jin Zhang, for the promotion. I will definitely control the six gates of Pingjiang in this humble position and not embarrass Jin Zhang."
Lu Huiqing nodded: "Of course I trust your ability. As for the transfer orders from the capital, you don't have to worry. His Majesty will still give us veterans some face when he uses them."
"Your Majesty is bound to do something good when he takes charge. My request to you is to ensure that everything is calm in Pingjiang Mansion. Anyone who dares to step out and cause trouble will be suppressed by me."
Song Xing nodded and said, "I understand."
Lu Huiqing added: "Jin Zhang will go to Liumen Headquarters to report on his duties before he is appointed. When I go to Beijing in a few days, you can come with me."
After getting down to business, Lu Huiqing changed the subject and asked about the Yanziwu incident: "How are you, have you confirmed whether Murong Bo is alive or dead?"
Song Xing took a step forward and said: "Jin Zhang has a sharp eye, Murong Bo really cheated his death."
Then the Taihu trip was described in detail.
When she heard that Murong Bo's coffin was empty, Lu Huiqing's eyes flashed with anger, but she restrained it well.
Seeing Song Xing looking at him with confusion, Lu Huiqing thought for a while and felt that Song Xing was now one of his own, so he said, "Are you curious why I am associated with a martial arts figure who has been dead for thirty years?" relation?"
Song Xing nodded and admitted: "Jin Zhang, a young Jinshi, is also a great talent that His Majesty Shenzong values. He really shouldn't be related to martial arts people."
Lu Huiqing subconsciously touched his beard and said to Song Xing: "It's a long story. You have been in Gusu for many years, and you may have only heard of Murong in Gusu. Have you ever heard of the Murong family in the capital?"
"Murong in the capital?" Song Xing thought for a moment and replied, "Could he be the descendant of Murong Yanzhao, who served as Privy Councilor and Inspector-General during the time of Taizu?"
Lu Huiqing nodded: "Yes, Murong Yanzhao served as a minister in the same palace as Taizu in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Taizu often regarded him as a brother. He was also the greatest contributor to Taizu's ascension to the throne. He was deeply appreciated by Taizu and was granted the title of Henan County after his death. king."
"After the death of Murong Yanzhao, his descendants were all rewarded. All generations were loyal to the court and highly valued by the court. Thirty years ago, the post of chief arrester of the six sects was held by Murong Weisu, a descendant of Murong Yanzhao. "
Hearing this, Song Xing asked wisely: "Is it possible that there is some kind of relationship between the Murong family in Beijing and Murong in Gusu?"
As far as he knew, the ancestors of Murong in Gusu were actually Xianbei people who migrated from the north, and the Murong family in the capital was of Han descent, so there should be no connection between the two.
Lu Huiqing said: "Thirty years ago, I was just a Jinshi and served His Majesty Shenzong as a lecturer. One day, Murong Weisu met with His Majesty and said that the Murong family has a distant relative in Gusu who can be His Majesty's support in the world. The ears and eyes stir up discord in the Jianghu and suppress the disobedient.”
The Song Dynasty came to power after the Chenqiao Mutiny, and since Taizu released his military power over a cup of wine, all emperors of the Song Dynasty have been extremely vigilant towards military generals and warriors.
During the Shenzong Dynasty, the Liao and Song Dynasties were at peace for a long time, and those warriors in the martial arts world who were high-ranking and unruly became the subjects of the imperial court's attention.
The purpose of the existence of the six gates is to monitor and suppress the Jianghu, and not allow excessive Jianghu forces to appear.
It was also at that time that Lu Huiqing met Murong Bo, a distant relative mentioned by Murong Weisu.
Murong Bo took the initiative to find Murong Weisu, established a relationship, and expressed his willingness to be loyal to the Six Gates and the Song Ting, becoming a chess piece inserted by the Six Gates in the world.
Murong Weisu admired Murong Bo's martial arts and talents very much, so he introduced him to Shenzong.
Shenzong was worried that Murong Bo would not succeed, so he ordered Lu Huiqing to cooperate with Murong Weisu in playing the game of Jianghu.
With Six Doors behind him, Murong Bo did several major things in the world and soon became a famous chivalrous person in the world, and his reputation soared.
At that time, Shaolin Wudang and the Beggar Clan were the most powerful among the heroes in the martial arts world. Murong Weisu's original plan was to use Murong Bo to stir up disputes in the martial arts world, and then slowly erode the martial arts forces, and finally use these forces for his own use and submit to the Song Dynasty. Ting.
Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment of the plan, blood eucalyptus broke out at Yanmen Pass, and all the Shaolin Beggar Gang masters came out to ambush Xiao Yuanshan. After this battle, the martial arts masters withered.
Murong Weisu was furious and sent six people to investigate, and finally found out that it was Murong Bo who had released the false news.
Before Murong Weisu could catch Murong Bo, news came out from Yanziwu that Murong Bo committed suicide in fear.
Murong Weisu also suspected that Murong Bo faked his death, but before he could take any action, he was locked up and imprisoned by the angry Shenzong.
In the end, although Murong Weisu managed to save his life under the operation of the Murong family, he also got the impression from Shenzong that he was ill-informed and unusable, so he could only withdraw from the Six Doors secretly and completely leave the center of power, and died of depression five years later.
Lu Huiqing, who had personally experienced the incident at that time, only brought up the old matter again when she learned that Xu Su's death was due to the sudden change of the stars, and asked Song Xing to find out the truth about Murong Bo's life and death.
The anger in Lu Huiqing's eyes did not diminish, and she said to Song Xing: "I didn't expect that Murong Weisu and His Majesty Shenzong died one after another, and Murong Bo, a thief, is still alive in the world."
Song Xing answered: "I have ordered people to make a sea arrest document to apprehend Murong Bo. It will be impossible for him to secretly cause trouble in the future."
Lu Huiqing nodded: "Focus on searching those temples and Taoist temples. This thief has been hiding for thirty years. Now that he has reappeared, there must be a conspiracy behind it. We must find out clearly."
Song Xing exposed Murong Bo's fake death, the sea arrest documents released by Liumen, and the publicity by Cui Baiquan, Duan Yu and others, I believe Jianghu will know the news soon.
Although the suspicion on Murong Fu has been cleared, the relatives of the deceased Jianghu people will not care whether you were killed by your father or your son. The target of the murder will still be directed at the Murong family.
Murong Bo initially used Dou Chuan Xing Yi to kill people, perhaps because he wanted to help Murong Fu. When the relatives of the victims discovered that Murong Fu had not actually killed anyone and had wronged Murong Fu, Murong Fu came out to find the real murderer. They could also take advantage of the situation. Then win people's hearts.
But who would have expected that the appearance of Song Xing would directly expose the truth about his fake death. Murong Bo's operation not only severely deceived Murong Fu, but also exposed himself to the world again.
Now not only Liumen and the relatives of the victims, but also the survivors of Yanmen Pass Blood Eucalyptus will definitely try their best to find him. In the following days, Murong Bo can only hide here and there like a mouse crossing the street.
Lu Huiqing added: "Why did you say that the Tubo Imperial Master came to Jiangnan?"
Song Xing analyzed: "Jiumozhi is very famous in Tubo. He is superb in Buddhism but also passionate about martial arts. He can't let go of worldly fame and fortune. This time he quietly entered the Song Dynasty, probably for the martial arts classics collected by the Murong family. .”
Jiumozhi used Duan Yu as his credentials in order to learn superior martial arts at the Murong family's Huanshi Water Pavilion. However, he was defeated by Song Xing this time. Thinking about it, he still hasn't given up. He must be secretly looking for an opportunity to sneak into Huan Shi Shui Pavilion and Mantuo Villa. Langhuan Jade Cave steals secret books.
Lu Huiqing agreed with Song Xing's analysis, but told him to send people to pay close attention to Jiumozhi's whereabouts to prevent him from causing chaos in the Song Dynasty.
The next day, Wusu and others rushed back. Song Xing ordered his men to take Gong Yeqian and the two into prison, and then followed Lu Huiqing to familiarize themselves with government affairs in order to take over the six gates of Pingjiang in the future.
During this period, the news that Lu Huiqing was transferred to the capital and that Song Xing took over as Pingjiang Liumen Jinzhang had spread internally, and countless people began to rush to curry favor with Song Xing. The only one who was unhappy was the other one of the former Gusu Liumen. Bit Yinzhang was arrested.
Song Xing was unmoved. In addition to handling political affairs every day, he also learned to handle official documents from Lu Huiqing. His calm and restrained character was once again secretly praised by Lu Huiqing.
On this day, the two were processing official documents. Lu Huiqing received an official document from Wuxi Liumen, saying that there were traces of the four evil men in Wuxi, and Wuxi Liumen was defeated and wanted to seek support.
Lu Huiqing learned from Wu Su that Song Wen was now very good at martial arts. He asked Song Wen for his opinion and ordered him to take people to Wuxi. This would not only quell the chaos in Wuxi, but also serve as a test before he took office.
