Ma Rui's small eyes were filled with confusion.
Everything was fine just now, so why... I just fell out of favor.
Qiu Wanshan was anxious: "Let him go, let him go now, quickly!"
Ma Rui couldn't laugh or cry: "What happened to Brother Qiu, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry? Is it possible that..."
Qiu Wanshan's eyes turned red: "Stop talking nonsense, let him go quickly!"
Ma Rui was not happy anymore.
Although he is the number one scapegoat in the Dachang Dynasty and has no reputation, his rank is there after all. Qiu Wanshan is the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he holds real power, he is not afraid of anything, it is just that he does not want to
Just offended.
After being scolded by Qiu Wanshan with "fuck", he was still angry after all.
"Master Qiu." Ma Rui said coldly with a stern face: "Although I don't know why you wanted to protect Chu Qing, this kid did beat someone, and he didn't refute him. He beat someone and was taken to jail. He should be
I have some intention, not to mention, Li Lin has told me that I..."
"You are confused, Chu Qing is a guard..."
Halfway through, Qiu Wanshan stopped talking in time.
If he directly reported Wei Changfeng's name, Ma Rui would definitely let him go. But the problem was that he was the one who came. If the Li family knew about it, they would most likely hold a grudge against him.
Thinking of this, Qiu Wanshan smiled and cupped his hands: "It's because I'm being rude and I'm leaving."
After finishing his words, Qiu Wanshan turned around and walked away very fast, leaving Ma Rui with a confused face, just like Xing Tian holding Head and Shoulders, a little confused for a moment.
Sitting back confused, Ma Rui muttered a little.
This Qiu Wanshan is not a good bird.
I'm not giving you much face today, but in the future...will this bastard take advantage of his position to help his Jingzhao Mansion?
For a moment, Ma Rui regretted it.
I should have asked more questions just now. It was obvious that Qiu Wanshan seemed to care about Chu Qing.
While worrying about gains and losses, the civil servant ran in again.
"Your Excellency, Master Tao Yaitao, the Prince's Young Master, and Master Tao Shaozhang, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, would like to see you."
Ma Rui sat up smartly: "Master Tao is here too?!"
The literary official smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."
Maruidun felt bad all over.
In fact, he knew very well about the Tao family.
Tao Shaozhang wanted to investigate Li Lin, but Tao Yao only wanted to teach the prince and did not want the Tao family to be involved in such nonsense.
So Ma Rui really wasn't that afraid of Tao Shaozhang. The leader of the Tao family was Tao Yao. Tao Yao was close to the emperor, and Tao Shaozhang was just a fool.
Moreover, Tao Shaozhang was not in trouble just now. He just arrested Chu Qing, but who knew that even the prince's young master was here.
"Please hurry up, please, no, no, no, I will personally greet you."
Ma Rui suddenly panicked, quickly adjusted his official robe, and walked out quickly.
When they arrived, outside the Yamen, they saw the Tao family and his son. Ma Rui quickened his pace again and trotted all the way.
"Your Majesty, Ma Rui, Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, pays homage to Master Tao."
There is no lack of proper etiquette.
You must know that Tao Yao was not only the prince's junior master, but also close to the emperor. Not only was he close to the emperor, he was also the eldest brother-level figure among the scholars in the capital.
It can be said that no one in the officialdom is willing to offend Tao Yao, because this old man can ruin a scholar's reputation with just one word, and everyone in the officialdom is a scholar.
Of course, except for a certain eighth-level Prime Minister who went through the back door.
Tao Yao said calmly: "Master Ma, there is no need to be polite, I am here to protect myself."
Ma Rui smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chu?"
"good."
Ma Rui's mouth felt secretly bitter.
Who would have thought that the Prince's Young Master would actually come in person.
"Master Potter, please come into the hall and have a cup of tea to rest."
"That's fine."
The three of them entered the main hall. Ma Rui did not dare to take the lead and made tea himself.
Tao Shaozhang didn't say a word, just a faint smile on his face.
Although Tao Yao was reluctant in every way, he still said against his will: "This little boaster... This Mr. Chu, and I have been friends for many years. On weekdays, we exchange poems and songs, and they are of good character.
It is absolutely impossible to murder others, I want to bail Chu Qing out, how about Sir Ma betraying me to show my favor."
Ma Rui was shocked: "Young Master Chu actually has been friends with Master Tao for many years, and they still exchange poems and songs?"
"That's true."
"Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that this Mr. Chu would have such literary talent."
Tao Yao took a sip of tea and was embarrassed to say anything.
Ma Rui really started to waver this time.
The Li family is certainly terrible, but the problem is that Tao Yao has come forward in person, so it is impossible not to give him this face.
Seeing Ma Rui's hesitation, Tao Yao smiled and said: "Master Ma, please rest assured that this son Chu Qing has a pure character and is a rare good young man. You can tell by looking at his appearance that he is just a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken."
, it's very peaceful, not to mention scary, even quarrelsome..."
Before he finished speaking, the clerk ran in like crazy.
"My lord, my lord is sorry, the prison has been robbed."
Ma Rui suddenly stood up: "What?"
"That Chu Qing, that man named Chu Qing, arrested four police officers and sealed the prison. He also captured twenty-three criminals!"
Tao Yao's smile still stayed on his face.
Tao Shaozhang was stunned.
Ma Rui looked like he had seen a ghost in the day: "What nonsense? How can a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken rob a prison?!"
"Yes, that's true. The prison door is locked from the inside, and the keys are all in his hand. He said he would kill the guards who dared to come near. He also spread hay in the prison and lit it on anyone who entered.
Prison!"
"Asshole!"
Ma Rui lost his sense of caution and was about to run out when Tao Shaozhang shouted: "I'll go too."
"No, absolutely not possible. I have never heard of such thugs. Lord Tao cannot go, and neither can Master Tao."
Just as Tao Shaozhang was about to speak again, Tao Yao quickly grabbed his eldest son.
Lao Tao was also shocked.
In his old age, it was the first time in his life that he had seen a prisoner being "hijacked" by a prisoner.
…………
Chu Qing stood behind the prison door and took out his ears.
He doesn't have a good impression of the Ministry of Industry. Except for his father, they are all a bunch of losers who can't do anything well and have nothing to eat.
But now he has changed his views on the Ministry of Works. Not to mention, the prison in Jingzhao Mansion is built, hey, it is called a strong one.
Once the big chain is wrapped around it and the iron lock is hung inside, even the oxen can't pull it away.
Of the four government officials, he killed one and arrested three, all of whom were tied tightly.
In addition to more than twenty prisoners, the hostages are all locked up in the cells.
Chu Qing also thought about it.
To be continued...
