Ma Cheng came out of the main hall of the Ganqing Palace and followed Ma Shiying out of the Ganqing Gate. Seeing that his father said nothing, Ma Cheng had no choice but to follow him. He came out of the Ganqing Palace and walked through the Jingyun Gate Arrow Road, passing through the Jinshui River, which was the cabinet's office location.

According to the rules, Ma Cheng had to go through Xiehe Gate to Xihua Gate from here, but today Ma Cheng wanted to figure out why Ma Shiying let Qian Qianyi go, so he had no choice but to shout from behind: "Dad! Dad! My son has something to ask you!"

Ma Shiying followed a bunch of eunuchs and civil servants. Seeing that Ma Shiying and his son had something to say, they quickly left under the leadership of Ruan Dacheng.

Ma Shiying sighed, stopped and waited for Ma Cheng to come up, and then asked, "Cheng'er, you have anything to say!"

This place is located in the palace. Although there are not many imperial guards, they are quite crowded, so Ma Cheng didn't quarrel and came to Ma Shiying and asked in a low voice: "Dad, why did you talk to Qian Laogui just now? Otherwise, your son can kill this old guy today!"

Ma Shiying frowned and said, "Your method of frame-up is too deliberate. Do you think the emperor doesn't see it? Even if I don't stand up and plead for Qian Qianyi, the emperor will definitely not do anything to Qian Qianyi!"

After saying that, Ma Shiying said with a grudge, "Cheng'er, you already have a title now, and you are a member of the party. Can you have a brain before doing anything? The emperor will never let you, my father and son dominate the government, so Qian Qianyi will definitely not have anything to do. What else is going to do in the future? Let me give you a message first, don't let me know so passively?"

Seeing that he was unhappy, Ma Cheng quickly explained: "Dad, it's not that my son doesn't inform you, but that his son is afraid that his father is kind and soft-hearted and unwilling to kill him, so his son can only hide it from his father!"

Ma Shiying waved impatiently and said, "Okay, haven't the emperor arranged for you to search your house? Go and do it!"

After Ma Shiying said that, he turned around and left. Ma Cheng didn't know what happened to Ma Shiying today, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave. However, Ma Shiying didn't go far, and turned around and called Ma Cheng, and then said meaningfully: "Cheng'er, you have to take care of yourself!"

Do you want to do it yourself? Although Ma Cheng was considered illiterate in this era, he received higher education in later generations. He still knows what the four words "You want to do it yourself" means. The literal meaning of these four words is to warn you to deal with it properly and do it well!

Ma Cheng knew that it was nothing more than doing his job well to defend the city, but what was it to deal with it properly? Did my father ask him to deal with those nobles properly? Ma Cheng remembered that many of these nobles were dependent on Ma Shiying at that time. Did Ma Shiying feel unbearable when he saw these guys being scouted and beheaded? But this was not like Ma Shiying's character.

Ma Cheng stood in front of the Union gate and thought about Ma Shiying's words. After waiting for a while, Ma Shiying had already walked away. The eunuch who led the way in front of Ma Cheng saw that Ma Cheng would not leave. After waiting for a long time, he dared to come forward and asked, "What's wrong with the marquis?"

Ma Cheng was interrupted and remembered that it was inappropriate to stay in the palace. Then he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, please send me the governor out of the palace!"

After leaving Xi'an Gate, Ma Cheng arranged for Gu Yong to first transfer 500 personal soldiers, and then took these wolves and tigers to the Duke of Wei's mansion. When riding on the horse, Ma Cheng was still thinking about Ma Shiying's words and said that he was willing to do it himself. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out Ma Shiying's end.

What does it mean? But at this time Ma Cheng remembered Ruan Dacheng's mysterious smile in the Ganqing Palace just now. Perhaps this old guy knew what Ma Shiying meant.

Ruan Dacheng is now an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works. In addition, Ruan Dacheng's daughter Ruan Lizhen actually became Ma Cheng's concubine, so Ruan Dacheng and Ma Cheng have a pretty good relationship.

"Well, this old guy Ruan Dacheng is a cunning guy. He must know what the saying "doing yourself" means. Why don't you go to Ruan Dacheng to help analyze it tonight!" Ma Cheng made up his mind and had a big cake in front of him waiting to eat it, that was the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

The approximate location of the Duke of Wei was between Zhanyuan Road and Daquanfu Lane in Nanjing in later generations. Zhanyuan in later generations was just the back garden of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It was close to Nanjing Confucius Temple and Yingtian Prefecture School, and has always been a place of gloriousness that poets and poets nostalgic for them. Therefore, no matter in the Ming and Qing dynasties or later generations, the land price here is worth every inch of land.

Ma Cheng brought five hundred people to Xufu Street in front of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. There was no mansion for others here, and there was only the Duke of Wei's family on the whole street. At the entrance of Xufu Street was a archway written by Zhu Yuanzhang, and civil servants got out of sedan chair and military officers got out of horses. That was Zhu Yuanzhang's reward to the number one hero Xu Da, but after more than two hundred years, Xu Da's descendants never let him down.

Ma Cheng was in love with the emperor's imperial edict, so he did not have to get off the horse in the archway, but rode his horse directly to the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion. The gate was magnificent, with sixty-four copper door nails on the door shining, and six pairs of households on the lintel, indicating the Xu family's identity second only to the royal family. The two majestic stone lion doors at the door also represent the glorious past of the Xu family.

Ma Cheng had just come to Xu Mansion a month ago to make trouble, so the servants guarding the gate knew who Ma Cheng was, so when he saw Ma Cheng coming with hundreds of soldiers, they were so scared that they closed the gate and returned to the yard.

Ma Cheng was not here to play this time. Seeing the door closed, Ma Cheng cursed: "Gu Yong, bring people to open the door, arrest all the people in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and then start counting the property!"

The emperor had an imperial edict to reward Ma Cheng with the Duke of Wei's mansion, so it would be Ma Cheng's home from now on. Of course, Gu Yong knew that this would be his home in the future, so he cursed at the personal soldiers behind him: "You guys have heard the orders of the military master. Be careful when you go in. If you take something that does not belong to you, cut off your own hands!"

Five hundred personal soldiers agreed and began to rush into the Duke of Wei's Mansion. The entire huge Duke of Wei's Mansion immediately became in chaos.

Ma Cheng rode on the horse and looked at the high gold plaque with four large gilded characters written on it. Zhongshan Palace! Ma Cheng sneered and said to Gu Yong beside him: "Gu Yong, what do you think of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan at that time, who knew his descendants like this?"

Gu Yong laughed and said, "I don't know about this last general, but this maid in Duke Wei's mansion is so beautiful!"

At this time, the personal soldiers had already taken out the door of the house's servants and maids in batches. Several maids in the flowery years stood pitifully at the door. Gu Yong was already eighteen this year, and he was very sexy, so he was drooling when he saw these beautiful women.

Seeing Gu Yong's virtue, Ma Cheng laughed and scolded: "You guy, I forgot that you haven't married yet!" Gu Yong was Gu Changwei's eldest son. Gu Changwei was Ma Cheng's Changsui back then, although he had a hundred households.

He has a job, but his family is very tight, so Gu Yong has not come to propose marriage yet.

After Gu Changwei became an official, Gu Yong had been with Ma Cheng as a personal soldier, so he had no time to go on a blind date. Today, when he saw the beauty saying this, he naturally showed a pig-like face.

"Okay, today I promise you that as long as you like it, I will give it to you!" Ma Cheng was in a good mood today, and these maids have become their own slaves, so naturally they can do whatever they want.

When Gu Yong heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down on his knees and thanked him: "I thank you for your help!" After that, Gu Yong got up and was about to choose a maid. Seeing Gu Yong so anxious, Ma Cheng laughed loudly.

At this time, Ma Cheng's personal soldiers had already captured all the people in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and more than 200 people stood at the door, for the wife Deng of the old Duke of Wei Xu Hongji, and behind them were Xu Hongji's sons and unmarried daughters.

Deng is the mother of Xu Jiujue and Xu Wenjue. She didn't know what her two precious sons had done. When she saw Ma Cheng rushing in with a group of wolves and tigers, she asked tremblingly: "Ma Cheng, what do you want to do? Don't you know this is the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

Seeing this middle-aged beautiful woman, Ma Cheng stepped forward and looked at her. Although Deng's actual age is over 40 years old and has all his grandsons, because of his good maintenance, he still pinched his skin and felt like he was in his thirties.

Ma Cheng turned around in front of Deng twice, looked up and down, and then smiled and said, "What? Don't you know what trouble your sons have caused?"

After Ma Cheng said that, he took out the emperor's imperial edict from his arms and recited loudly: "Duke Xu Wenjue of Wei, coaxed the Duke of Baoguo Zhu Guobi and other twenty-five honorary ministers, intending to open the city and seek refuge in the Northern Territory. He is now raiding the 25 honorary ministers and killing the nine clans! Ma Cheng, the Hou of Guiyang, has made contributions to resisting the Northern Territory, and rewarded the Duke of Wei's mansion to Ma Cheng, and the Duke of Wei's superiors and subordinates as slaves!"

After hearing Ma Cheng's reading, Deng collapsed to the ground. In the past few days, she knew that her two sons were causing trouble, but she didn't expect to surrender to the Beilu. Now that the matter has happened, the whole family has become Ma Cheng's slaves. It's really uncomfortable to fall from the sky to the mortal world.

No matter how much Deng was sitting on the ground, Ma Cheng looked at the young men behind him. These people were Xu Hongji's sons. Naturally, the son of his enemies could not be kept. Ma Cheng didn't want to play any game of cutting grass without removing roots. Ma Cheng said to Gu Yong behind him: "According to the imperial edict, all the male members in the Xu family will be killed and executed immediately!"

After hearing Ma Cheng's words, Gu Yong brought more than a dozen personal soldiers to capture these young men. The men's mothers and wives and concubines immediately cried and cried. Gu Yong followed Ma Cheng to kill countless people, and could be delayed by the crying of several women. He stepped forward and pressed these people in front of the Duke of Wei's Mansion and cut off the heads of these people with one knife. The female relatives of the Xu Mansion saw that their sons and their husbands were beheaded and fainted one by one.

After killing the adult man, Ma Cheng pointed to the underage children in the Xu family and said to Gu Yong: "Your Majesty's imperial edict says that adult men will be executed and executed. These underages will be sent to the palace to castrate and serve the emperor!"
