Chapter 14 Loyal Servant Jiang Qingzhi is back. The neighbors came out to watch out of curiosity. "It's Jin Yiwei." "And the cavalry." "Oh my god, what did Jiang Qingzhi do to attract these evil spirits?" "Oh my! The detectives from Suzhou Prefecture were beaten." "Good fight!" When officials are beaten, the people always feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure. When Ye’s people were dragged out like dead dogs, everyone was shocked. "The Ye family is unlucky, then Jiang Qingzhi..."
Jiang Qingzhi came out and bowed to everyone around him. "My father and I have been well taken care of by our neighbors in the past. I will host a banquet later, and I hope you will come and enjoy it!" The Jinyiwei actually listened to him... The neighbors were shocked and quickly agreed. "Young Master, I'm going to look for my master." Sun Chonglou asked. "Go!" Jiang Qingzhi said. In the afternoon, Jiang Qingzhi set up a banquet in the alley and invited the neighbors. "You are wronged, sir." One of Dou Jialan's missions on this trip was to clear Jiang Qingzhi's name. With the testimony of a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Suzhou constables did not dare to retaliate even after being beaten, and the neighbors hurried to flatter them. "I said Qingzhi has been a good person since he was young." "That Ye Tian humiliated Qing Zhi's late father. If it were me, I would kill him too!" In the sunset, Jiang Qingzhi raised his glass. "My dear neighbors, please enjoy your meal." Sun Chonglou is back. Accompanying him was a middle-aged man with a hunched back. The man looked thin, with his hands behind his back as usual. When he saw the Jinyiwei, his eyes narrowed, and then he walked over as usual. "Master, this is the master." Sun Chonglou introduced the man. The man cupped his hands and coughed dryly, "My name is Fucheng, nice to meet you, young master." Sun Chonglou killed many Japanese pirates along the way and was very skilled. What about his master? "Have you eaten?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"Eat it." Fucheng said. "Come in and talk." The three of them went in. Jiang Qingzhi sat down, but Fucheng stood. "Sit down." Jiang Qingzhi said. Only then did Fu Cheng sit down. But only half of his butt was sitting. Jiang Qingzhi said, "Shitou is a naughty boy, and I have never asked him about his martial arts training. I am sorry that you have to bear the trouble." "Isn't this a gift?" Fu Cheng's face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like an old man who had experienced a lot of hardships. But if you look closely, you will find that he is only in his forties. Jiang Qingzhi took a sip of tea, and Fucheng glanced at him, "Shitou told me about the identity of the young master." Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Sun Chonglou. This guy was a man of loyalty and friendship. It seemed that Fucheng treated him well. Mr. Jiang is also a person who loves his wife and his family. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "This can be considered luck." "Small fortunes are achieved through hard work, great fortunes are destined by heaven." Fu Cheng chuckled and glanced at Sun Chonglou. "I am alone, and originally wanted to be with Shitou..." This is like teaching Sun Chonglou as if he were his own son. "Once a teacher, always a father. Shitou should take care of you in your old age." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "I will go to Beijing soon..." I think Sun Chonglou's master must be even more skilled! The outcome of this trip to the capital was uncertain, so Jiang Qingzhi needed someone who knew him well, preferably one with great skills. Isn't this a pillow for sleeping? However, the origins of Fucheng need to be considered. Jiang Qingzhi looked at Fucheng. "I've made the conditions, so you should be honest!" Sun Chonglou watched his master stand up in confusion, the young master narrowed his eyes... Fu Cheng bowed, "It's funny to say that when I was working in the palace, I wanted to climb the social ladder and seek wealth. Now I just want to live a peaceful life." "Someone from the palace?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. "Yes, I was in the palace for many years, but later I was released because of the English fluency." Fu Cheng sighed. "Why don't you go home, Master?" Sun Chonglou was moved after hearing this. Jiang Qingzhi smiled, "We have been separated for many years in the palace, who would care about you?" Even if they are brothers, they have been estranged for many years, and they have their own families to support and take care of. Who would be willing to provide for such an old eunuch brother in his old age? No matter what era, indifference to human nature is the norm. Fu Cheng nodded, "Young Master is wise, that's right. Later, I settled down in Suzhou Prefecture. That year, Shitou was begging on the street and was bullied by a few beggars, so I took action..."
Sun Chonglou said, "Master easily beat those big guys to a pulp. Later, the young master saved me, so I wanted to learn martial arts from Master so that I could protect the young master." At this time, Dou Jialan's voice came from outside the door. "Sir, I have something to ask you." "Come in." Dou Jialan came in, looking straight ahead. "Sir, this man's surname is Guo, his name is Xiao. He entered the palace thirty years ago. Later he served the late emperor. That year, there was a palace coup. Some people died in the palace, and some were released. This man was among them." That year, several palace maids almost strangled Emperor Jiajing to death. Afterwards, the palace was purged, and a group of people were killed and some were released. "Ho ho ho!" The wrinkles on Fu Cheng's face were trembling with laughter. "The Jinyiwei really lives up to their reputation. They found out my origins so quickly." "If not, how could you meet with the young master alone?" Dou Jialan said. "Got it." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, and Dou Jialan took his leave. After she left, Jiang Qingzhi asked, "Why don't you use your real name?" Fu Cheng said with some regret: "We are rootless people. We cannot enter the ancestral hall after death. We should walk in the world with our original names to avoid humiliating our ancestors." Sun Chonglou looked at Jiang Qingzhi eagerly, "Master, that year Master only had half a bowl of rice at home. He cooked porridge and asked me to drink it all. Master used most of his money to buy medicinal herbs for me, saying that they were good for cleaning my tendons and strengthening my bones..." This is really raising him as a son. Jiang Qingzhi nodded. Fu Cheng bowed again, "Fu Cheng greets you, sir!" "The monthly salary and rations are the same as those of the housekeeper." Jiang Qingzhi got up and went out. That’s a high salary. "Thank you, young master!" After Jiang Qingzhi left, Fu Cheng said to Sun Chonglou, "From now on, be more respectful to you, young master, and don't be too casual." Sun Chonglou said: "The young master said that he likes me like this, what... straightforward." "Things are different now. After all, this is a distinguished person." Fu Cheng tried to persuade Sun Chonglou earnestly, but when he saw that Sun Chonglou didn't care, he couldn't help but sigh. "Master seems a little afraid of the young master?" Sun Chonglou was heartless, but his intuition was good. "I'm not afraid." Fu Cheng smiled bitterly, "Earlier, I noticed that there were more than ten people lurking behind the hall. It seems that the young master saw that my identity was suspicious from the beginning." "Then... Master, how about I ask the young master to speak well of you?" Sun Chonglou was worried about the conflict between the two. "It's a good thing that the master can be so cautious and decisive." Fu Cheng said with a smile: "I have been miserable for half my life, but I didn't expect that I would benefit from you and follow such a capable master." "Master, they say there is a tiger in the capital!" "Silly boy, those Jinyiwei know that the young master treats you differently, and they are trying to use you to show their favor to the young master." Fu Cheng was a man of such a character that he only sneered at the Jinyiwei's tactics, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty has been at loggerheads with those powerful officials for many years. As your Majesty's cousin, many people are waiting to see him make a fool of himself when he comes to the capital. Those people dare not take action against your Majesty, but they will not mind punishing you."
Fu Cheng sighed, "Before coming here, we were worried that the young master was too young to handle the situation, so it would be better for him to just be a parasite. But now it seems that those people in the capital are going to have a headache." He looked at Sun Chonglou, "Shi Tou, are you ready?" The young loyal servant stood with his sword in hand and said loudly: "Whoever dares to touch the young master, I will kill him!" Fu Cheng shook his head, "Wrong." "What about that?" "Whoever the young master wants to kill, you kill him!" …… Asking for votes. (End of this chapter)
