Chapter 61: Murong Mansion

There is a very important reason why he left the imperial capital and never mentioned it to people, that is, he was not used to the practice of cannibalism and slaughter in the imperial capital, and when he saw it again at this moment, he felt extremely disgusted. Shen Fei is right, the world is so real, no matter how beautiful or ugly, good or bad, it is so real, instead of blindly escaping, it is better to do your best, fight your life to seize the supreme position of the Kyushu Collective, in case you can succeed, you can rest assured and boldly establish the ideal country in your mind. Let the so-called Kyushu become a paradise where the four seas are held together, the six ministries are called ministers, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and there is no exploitation and oppression.

Crossing the exaggerated threshold of nearly a foot high, walking into Murong Baishi's mansion, the spacious avenue is in stark contrast to the sheep intestine path when it came, two stone lions stand on the left and right, fierce and vicious, and a three-legged bronze tripod in the middle, lighting three pillars to invite the gods.

The scenery on the side of the road is beautiful, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the beauty is a hall.

Tuoba Lie knows deeply, and has enough consciousness, crossing the threshold is equivalent to completely entering the chaos of the kings' chaos, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, you can only do your best, know the destiny of heaven, and never turn back.

The spacious road connects a magnificent hall, from a distance, carved beams and jade pillars, ghostly axes, luxurious and magnificent, with the most prosperous Jinling. The attendants began to increase from here, and when they saw their master, they all put down the things at hand, knelt on their knees, their foreheads were close to the ground, and their palms were flattened upwards, so as to set off the dignity of the master, and they could only stand up again when the master completely disappeared from sight.

Tuoba Lie looked at their servile performance and shook his head imperceptibly. In the army, he has always treated his soldiers as brothers, and in his mind, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low, so sometimes, some of An Linglong's practices also make him very unaccustomed to it.

Walking under the hall, looking up, I saw three big characters inscribed on the plaque "Feng Yaju", which shows that Murong Baishi is also a person who loves vassal elegance.

The threshold here is a little higher, the two graceful, beautiful maids are kneeling on the ground respectively, with their heads facing each other, Tuoba Lie didn't understand what it meant at first, until he saw Murong Baishi's fat body pressed on one of them, and his rough feet stepped on the maid's back, and he felt unbearable in his heart, without waiting for Murong Baishi to turn around and greet him, he stepped over first, like a gust of wind. The five people behind him also wanted to enter the temple after following his example, but they were stopped by the guards guarding the door.

Listen to the guard's cold tone and say, "Remove your sword and stalk, and you can enter." ”

The four guards, including Chief Manager Yue, drew their swords at the same time, which seemed to mean, stop us from guarding our own young master, be careful that I and you are desperate.

Tuoba Lie saw it in his eyes, frowned slightly, turned his eyes to look at Murong Baishi, and found that the latter had already walked away, so he had no choice but to say: "You guys stay outside the door, you don't have to come in without my orders." ”

"Young Master. "Chief Manager Yue's figure was blocked by the sword of the Murong Mansion guard.

"I'm catching up with Uncle Murong, it's okay. Tuoba Lie turned around and walked in, the door of the hall was closed from the inside by two maids who stood up from the lowest part of the threshold, one of them had a long back separated from it, and a sunken hole could also be seen, and the weight of the whole body was pressed up by a fat man as heavy as Murong Baishi, which was distressing to look at.

The door of the living room was closed, which made Tuoba Lie feel very uncomfortable, but he still did not show any signs of displeasure, he knew that he had to endure when he first arrived, and this was the only way to go.

"Nephew, please sit down and tell your uncle what wind has blown you to Jinling. "For this prince, Murong Baishi has limited politeness. First, Tuoba Lie and Tuoba Zhen are brothers of the same father and mother, although Tuoba Lie has been on the border for a long time, he must also wear a pair of pants with his brother, this is a connection caused by blood, and Tuoba Zhen must be closer to others than others; second, he has heard the content of His Majesty the Yellow Emperor's edict, Tuoba Lie was ordered to come to Jinling on an errand, and the first object of investigation is himself, which makes him feel uncomfortable somewhat.

There is a row of seats on the left and right sides of the hall, facing the door, and there is also a seat on the back against the wall, if it is someone who needs to be respected, Murong Baishi will sit in the lower hand position, that is, one of the two parallel seats, then Tuoba Lie should sit next to him. If the person who arrives does not need to be respected, Murong Baishi will sit in the first place, that is, the seat sandwiched between two parallel rows of seats, sitting in that seat with his eyes facing the door, and being able to predict the danger at the earliest, so he is the first place.

The top chair is half as wide as the bottom one, and a tiger skin stretches from the chair to the steps at the feet, which looks quite intimidating. Murong Baishi's fat body sat on it, proving that he did not regard his nephew as someone who could be equal to him.

This made Tuoba Lie show his displeasure for the first time after entering the house, although this trace of displeasure was only fleeting, but since it was revealed, it proved that he was in a bad mood at the moment. In any case, he is a prince, according to the hierarchy of the empire, his status is only below the current saint, and even higher than the status of his biological mother who has lived in the palace for a long time, Murong Baishi's move is obviously not to give him face.

Tuoba Lie wanted to have a seizure, but he remembered Shen Fei's warning when he came, Shen Fei said to him: "Entering the Murong Mansion, no matter how difficult the other party is, how disrespectful you are, you must be patient, you and the Ten Princes are the same biological mother, and it is impossible for the other party to show respect to you, so you have to endure no matter what, as long as you follow what I said, you can successfully end today's trip and end the meeting with him, even if you are successful." ”

Tuoba Lie felt that what Shen Fei said made sense, so he finally endured it and did not have a seizure. The deep conversation that night made him see Shen Fei's vision and strategy, although the two had not reached any agreement on the issue of cooperation, but Shen Fei had already offered him advice. It is not difficult to see from the strategy he offered that Shen Fei not only has spells that ordinary people don't have, but also has vision and strategies that ordinary people don't have, which is very terrifying.

Ordinary Taoist priests are immortals who do not eat the fireworks of the world, arrogant and dusty, do not take ordinary things in their eyes, and have no intention of deceitful in the world. Shen Fei is not, Shen Fei not only has the arrogance of immortals, but also has a powerful immortal technique that only immortals can use, and even more so, he also knows a lot about things in the world, and it can even be said that he has the eyes and vision that ordinary people do not have, and only people who stand on top of it can have.

After watching the battle between Shen Fei and the Pure Spirit Monk, Tuoba Lie was even more impressed by the man who lightly repelled the joint blow between him and Chief Manager Yue when he entered the city, and had a preliminary reliance on this man.

Follow Shen Fei's instructions and proceed step by step.

"My good nephew, what kind of wind blew you to Jinling. Murong Baishi smiled without yin or yang.

Tuoba Lie came to his senses, bowed slightly, and responded to him: "Uncle Murong, I can't hide it, the little nephew came to Jinling on an errand by order, and he knew that the uncle was in the house, so the first thing after entering the city was to come to greet you and disturb your rest, please forgive me." ”

"How dare you, how dare you, I knew that my little nephew had entered the city, and I, who was an uncle, should have personally brought someone to greet me, but instead let you come to the door by yourself, and you have to forgive me for not taking care of the virtuous nephew." ”

"This trip is abrupt, and the uncle should not know it, but he doesn't dare to blame it. ”

"Good nephew, you are young, polite, and open-minded, no wonder you have been entrusted with a heavy task by the current saint. ”

Uncle smiled, the little nephew has lived outside the country for a long time, and he doesn't know a lot about many things in the country, so please ask the uncle to point out the abrupt things. ”

"Don't you dare to do this, nephew, your status is respected, although I, who is an uncle, is a little older, but I have no part to instruct. ”

"There is a right and wrong thing, there is no high or low person, uncle, you are really too outward, in fact, my nephew came to visit this time, because I wanted to ask my uncle for advice. ”

"Oh, then, my good nephew, tell me what you have to tell me. ”

"I am dissatisfied with you for saying that the little nephew's trip is on an errand, but the will of the father is a little heavy, so that the little nephew doesn't know how to act. ”

"Is it a secret decree? If it is a secret decree, it is a felony to easily leak it to someone, even if it is me. ”

"It's an urgent letter of six hundred miles, not a secret decree, and my nephew still has this bit of proportion. ”

"That's good, I'm overthinking. So what is the content of your will?"

"Don't hide it from my uncle, in fact, there is a very painful thing that happened in Jinling City not long ago. ”

"A very painful thing?"

"My third brother is dead. ”

"What!" Ming Ming knew it a long time ago, but Murong Baishi still took the case, showing the shock when he heard the news for the first time, "Little nephew, did I hear it wrong, you say it again." ”

"Don't hide it from my uncle, my third brother is dead. ”

"The third son of the emperor, Tuoba Boyi?"

"Exactly. ”

"What's the matter, the disease or the killing? Why is it so sudden? ”

"He killed, and the third brother was assassinated to death by the killer, so he died in Jinling. ”

"Assassinated? And died in Jinling? When Boyi came to Jinling, I don't know at all. Murong Baishi's eyes widened, his mouth was open, his face was blue and violent, I have to say that his acting skills are really realistic.

"Don't hide it from my uncle, my third brother came to Jinling on a private errand at the behest of his father, and he didn't meet you because the task assigned by his father was very secret; the tragic death in Jinling is not only a desecration of the lives of members of the royal family, but also a great challenge to the authority of my father. Therefore, my father, in the fury of thunder, sent this king to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

"Yes, yes, if something like this happens, how can Your Majesty not be angry. Murong Baishi stepped down from his seat, rubbed his palms, paced back and forth, looking anxious, but it was just his appearance, his acting skills were indeed very realistic, "Nephew, Bo Yi came to Jinling, he really didn't get any news from being an uncle, if he had known earlier, he would definitely have increased the guards to protect him, and he would not have let such an unforgivable thing as assassination happen." ”

"The matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, the top priority is to find the murderer as soon as possible, give my father an explanation, and let the people who defile the imperial power suffer the consequences. ”

"Yes, yes, nephew, you said yes. Murong Baishi stepped down from the high position in embarrassment, sat down beside Tuoba Lie, and said nervously: "Good nephew, when did Boyi happen and where was he killed." ”

"The specific situation is not very clear, and I am not familiar with the terrain of Jinling City, so I have to ask your uncle to assist in the investigation. ”

"Let me help?" Murong Baishi's shock at the moment was real, who didn't know that coming to Jinling to investigate the "death of the third prince" was a good opportunity to plant blame and eradicate dissidents, and it was the best time for the Ten Princes to attack the Great Prince, but Tuoba Lie, who was the same father and mother as the Ten Princes, asked himself to assist him in completing the task of investigation. Tuoba Lie has almost no power to speak of in Jinling, and letting himself assist is tantamount to handing over most of the case-handling power to his own hands, which is equivalent to saying that he has washed away the suspicion of the eldest prince in disguise, which is obviously a gesture of goodwill. Murong Baishi looked intently at the prince, who had been in the army for the longest time and the youngest, and thought: Is he deliberately tempting? Or is he really showing favor to himself? Is it true that although Tuoba Lie and Tuoba Zhen were born to the same mother, their relationship is not good, or is he just a stunned young man blindly enforcing the law impartially? What's more, he is shirking his responsibilities and trying to lighten his burden?

What did Tuoba Lie think? Murong Baishi couldn't figure it out, so he retreated and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are the tolerance of the emperor's decree, and it is your uncle's obligation to cooperate with your work, not to mention that it also involves the death of the third prince. Don't worry, you can dispatch the manpower in my house at will, I won't have any objections, as for collaboration, I still don't want it, if something like this happens in my own land, it's better for me to avoid suspicion. ”

"Uncle Murong, this is what you have seen, my third brother came to Jinling to act in a low-key manner, without informing anyone, the assassin who assassinated him is only afraid that it is the people around him, how can you say that you are avoiding danger. ”

"Oh, nephew, that's what I said, but after all, it happened in my own realm, and it was always easy to give birth to some gossip. ”

"Uncle, are you unwilling to help your little nephew? ”

"No, no, there is absolutely no such meaning, any action you take in Jinling City, I will definitely support it 100%. ”

"Yes, if I can get help from my uncle, this trip will be easy. ”
