Ma Cheng was completely shocked when he heard Yue Qijie say this. If it was shocked to see a living person dying in front of him at noon today, now he would be scared to hear that Yue Qijie would have to kill more people in order to solve the problem of killing.

Yue Qijie's method of doing things was completely unacceptable to Ma Cheng. In order to save a murderer, he wanted to kill more people. Ma Cheng didn't react for a moment and stood there in a daze.

However, Xu Dahu and others did not respond. The killing was because they said it was normal to drink water and eat. Not to mention that more than a dozen people were killed in Fengyang, they had never done anything to silence the village and town during the war in Guizhou.

Xu Dahu led An Zhennan and ten other people to bow and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Yue, I know what to do. I will never leave a living room tonight!"

Yue Qijie nodded and said, "Also, remember to burn all the Huaiyang Tower and don't let go of the shopkeeper's family to avoid leaving behind the troubles!"

Xu Dahu nodded, then bowed to Ma Cheng and took the people out.

"Uncle, this! Is this a bit over? Those personal certificates are just ordinary people. In order to save Xu Dahu, they will be killed. Isn't this good to do this!" Ma Cheng only reacted now and quickly raised his objection.

Ma Cheng comes from later generations. In his understanding, as the second generation of officials, my son Ma Shiying is the governor and his uncle is the super marquis of the country. It should be easy to calm down this manslaughter. But when he thought that Yue Qijie was ruthless in his methods, he actually killed everyone's witnesses. This was really beyond Ma Cheng's moral bottom line.

It is understandable that Ma Cheng thought so. Before he traveled through time, he was only a courier delivery person, and was only twenty-seven or eight years old. It was a bit exaggerated to say that he was at the bottom of society, but he absolutely could not get in touch with high-level politics. The political struggles in later generations were no less than those of the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of those senior officials, a life is no more valuable than the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, as Ma Shiying's aide, Yue Qijie has some means to solve Ma Cheng's problems, but why do you have to take the most extreme path? This involves the struggle for power and profit among Ma Shiying's aides.

Ma Shiying's two major aides, one is Yang Wencong and the other is Yue Qijie. Although both of them are related, their political ideas are completely different, but they are said to be incompatible.

Because Yang Wencong has been an official in the Nanzhili area for many years, he has worked from a county magistrate to a prefecture, he has worked with some young talents of the Donglin Party, such as Zhang Pu of Fushe, Zhang Cai brothers, Hou Fangyu, the son of the Donglin boss Hou Xun, and Mao Xiang who is one-sided with Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan. These people are all Yang Wencong's best friends.

Yue Qijie is different. Yue Qijie has been an official in the north all year round, and his colleagues and comrades around him are not Donglin Party members. For example, Tian Yang, who was written as a treacherous minister by peach blossom fan, and Ruan Dacheng, who was dismissed from office and never described them. These are all eunuchs. In addition, Yue Qijie has no good impression of these Donglin Party members who are incompetent in governing the country and pacifying the world, and who can only fight against the party and persecute the common people. Naturally, Yue Qijie and Yang Wencong, the couple, looked at each other with their conspiracy.

This time, Ma Shiying wanted to unite with the Donglin Party (in Yue Qijie's opinion, he was short-sighted. In fact, Ma Shiying also wanted to get close to the Donglin Party), so he naturally wanted to win over Yang Wencong, who had a very good relationship with the Donglin Party, and ignored Yue Qijie's suggestions.

Ma Shiying's actions made Yue Qijie very annoyed, and even had the intention to resign, but after seeing Ma Cheng, Yue Qijie gave up this idea.

Ma Cheng is Ma Shiying's legitimate son and has a high status in Ma Shiying's heart, second only to his eldest son Ma Luan, but Ma Luan turned to Yang Wencong. When there were any arguments in the past, Yang Wencong and Ma Luan made Yue Qijie very passive, but Ma Cheng's appearance made Yue Qijie see hope.

Ma Cheng is consistent with Yue Qijie on the key issue of supporting King Fu. In addition, from his words, Ma Cheng doesn't like the Donglin Party very much. The most important thing is that Ma Cheng has a long-term vision and has a thorough understanding of the current situation. It is precisely because of these that Yue Qijie decided to help Ma Cheng and strive to cultivate a spokesperson who is competitive with Ma Luan.

As for the case of Xu Dahu's manslaughter, it was actually not in Yue Qijie's heart. Killing more than a dozen lives for Ma Cheng to silence him was just to prevent Ma Cheng from turning to the Donglin Party. After all, the backstage boss of Huaiyanglou was Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei.

Yue Qijie glared at Ma Cheng standing beside him: "Zhonghe, although I have solved this for you, you can't continue to be so naughty. From today on, you should study in the mansion! If you have anything to do, wait for your father to come back!"

Ma Cheng didn't dare to say anything when he heard Yue Qijie say this. In fact, he had nothing to say. In order to save Xu Dahu, he could only agree to Yue Qijie do this.

Ma Cheng bowed and said, "I thank my uncle for helping me today, and I will take my leave!"

After Ma Cheng said that, he turned around and left Yue Qijie's room. Gu Changwei at the door was unable to enter the room because of his low status. However, when he saw Zhang Guozhu tied Xu Dahu and eleven others at the door, he knew that today was not good. He originally thought Xu Dahu was going to be unlucky, but unexpectedly, after a while, Xu Dahu and others were released by Yue Qijie again.

Gu Changwei didn't dare to ask Xu Dahu in detail. Now he saw the second master Ma Cheng coming out and quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Second Master, how about it?"

Ma Cheng frowned and said, "Hey, Second Master, I'm confined to my uncle. Let's talk about it after passing by in detail!"

Gu Changwei took Ma Cheng back to Ma Cheng's small yard in the back house, and Ma Cheng returned to the house and lay in bed in a daze.

"Gu San, go out! Second Master, I want to lie down for a while!" Gu Changwei didn't dare to ask why when he saw Ma Cheng like this, he had to close the door gently and return to the wing room to rest.

Ma Cheng had gone through a lot of things this day and was very tired. He lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. I don’t know how long he slept, but he heard Gu Changwei calling softly beside him.

"Second Master, Second Master! Wake up!"

Ma Cheng opened his eyes and looked outside the house, and it was already evening.

"I didn't expect that after sleeping for so long, is there anything wrong?"

"Second Master, the old lady in the backyard has sent a message and asked you to go to the backyard!"

Ma Cheng knew it was not good after hearing Gu Changwei say this. It seemed that his mother knew what happened at noon.

Ma Cheng inherited half of the memory of the dead ghost Ma Cheng, and had different feelings for his close relatives. He was afraid of his strict father Ma Shiying, respected his eldest brother Ma Luan, and looked down on his third brother Ma Xi, but he was only attached to his own mother Gu.

This is easy to understand. When Ma Cheng was a child, Ma Shiying worked as an official in Shanxi for many years. The only thing he could rely on in his family was his mother. Naturally, Ma Cheng was very attached to his mother Gu.

When Ma Cheng heard that his mother was about to see him, he quickly got up and asked Gu Changwei to get a basin of water to wash up, and then went out to follow the little maid who was spreading the news to the back house.

In the Ming Dynasty, local officials were all in front of the yamen and the back of the house, and the area of ​​the back of the house was not very large, even the same was true for the Fengyang Governor's Office.

After passing several independent small courtyards, Ma Cheng quickly came to his mother's house. Ma Cheng packed up his clothes and bowed and said, "Mom, son Ma Cheng is here!"

Gu heard his son coming in the room and quickly said, "Hurry up! Let my son come in!"

A maid lifted the curtain open, and Ma Cheng walked in. Gu was sitting in the main seat in the room, and two women stood behind him, one of whom was Ma Cheng's sister-in-law Zhang, and the other was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. Ma Cheng looked at the woman and thought that this was probably the other concubine of his father, Aunt Zhao, and his second sister Ma Yuning's biological mother. As for Ma Cheng's beautiful sister Ma Hongning, she was not in the room.

Ma Cheng was ready to speak on the way to come and was about to wait for his mother's scolding, but when he thought that Gu did not mention the murder of someone, he asked with distress: "My son, you still have injuries on your head, why do you want to go out and run wildly? What if there is someone you ask Wei Mom to live!"

Gu had only got Ma Cheng's youngest son in his thirties, so he naturally became a treasure. Today, Gu got the news that Ma Cheng ran out secretly, really worried about his son's safety, so after learning that his son was back, he hurried to come over to ask.

"My son, your uncle sent someone to confine you from today and wait until your father comes back. My mother agrees deeply! My son will not go out these days, so he should be at home to recuperate his injuries!"

Ma Cheng felt nothing to say when he heard his mother say this. This mother was so spoiled by her. She didn't even ask about the matter of beating someone to death. As for the fact that she would kill someone tonight, she didn't mention it.

Ma Cheng thought that my mother didn't know the details, so he asked carefully: "Mom, do you know that my son beat someone to death at noon?"

Gu heard Ma Cheng say this and scolded: "What did my son say? Isn't it just a shopkeeper? It's his honor to be beaten to death by my son. Don't take my son to heart! What about the Duke of Wei Xu Hongji? If Emperor Shizu didn't want to make Empress Ren Xiaowen sad, he would have been given a title and killed according to what Xu Huizu did! Is it still Xu Hongji's turn to be a hero now?"

Ma Cheng was shocked when he heard my mother say this. His mother was indeed fierce and even the Duke of Wei dared to scold her. In fact, what Ma Cheng didn't know was that the heroes of Jingnan were mostly dissatisfied with the founding heroes. Back then, Gu Cheng was not the Marquis of Zhenyuan. After being captured in the Battle of Jingnan, he became a general under Zhu Di. After Zhu Di successfully became the emperor, he was named Marquis of Zhenyuan for his merits.

The Marquis of Gu Cheng was obtained by opposing Emperor Zhu Yunwen. In order to whitewash himself, he was naturally not friendly to Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei who supported Zhu Yunwen, so the Marquis of Zhenyuan were incompatible with Duke of Wei in all dynasties. However, later Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, and all the heroes who were with him moved to Beijing. The dispute between the two families became weaker when they were far away, but this festival was still passed down through blood.
