After the negotiation between Yue Qijie and Xu Zhenye, Xu Zhenye stood up and said goodbye. Yue Qijie was sent to the door. The talks between the two sides were perfect. Yue Qijie solved the problem for Ma Cheng, and Xu Zhenye also got the official position he hoped for. As for the dead shopkeeper, no one cared about it.

Ma Cheng had been listening to the conversation between Xu Zhenye and Yue Qijie in the inner room. According to Ma Cheng's estimate, he would have to suffer any hardship. But Ma Cheng forgot that it is not about future generations that talk about human rights, but about the evil old society. If Yue Qijie's help was not for this matter, even if it was in the end, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, would have to do so at most. The Ma family made a scapegoat, and Ma Cheng was scolded by Ma Shiying and it would be over.

Ma Cheng did not expect that a life was so low in the eyes of these officials. Although Xu Zhenye just claimed that he was a lawsuit for a life lawsuit, most of the ingredients were good for taking credit. As for the shopkeeper who died, no one was concerned about his family.

Yue Qijie sent Xu Zhenye to the door, then returned to the inner room and sat down, looked at Ma Cheng and said, "Zhonghe, you are already eighteen now, and you are already in the capital. When your father comes back, I will ask your father to arrange an official position for you, so you can't continue to mess around like this!"

The death of the person became a nonsense in Yue Qijie's mouth. Ma Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, this matter is over? Then the shopkeeper will die in vain?"

Yue Qijie glared at Ma Cheng and cursed: "What? Do you still have to go to court to confront those untouchables? Haven't your father's face been thrown away by you?"

Yue Qijie hated Ma Cheng for being incompetent, so his tone became heavier, but when he thought that Ma Cheng was just his wife and nephew after all, he was still hard to say something.

Yue Qijie suppressed his anger and then asked as calmly as possible: "Zhonghe, who are the personal soldiers who went out with you today?"

When Ma Cheng heard Yue Qijie's question, he knew that things were not good. Xu Zhenye just said that he wanted to hand over a scapegoat, but now Yue Qijie has the idea of ​​going out with him to the eleven personal soldiers.

Ma Cheng quickly said, "Uncle, that shopkeeper was beaten to death by his nephew, and it has nothing to do with others!"

When Yue Qijie heard Ma Cheng say this, he could no longer suppress his anger and stood up and cursed: "Ma Cheng, you are too ignorant! Do you know how much trouble you have caused for your father? The Duke of Wei, Xu Hongji, is close to the Donglin Party, and is Shi Kefa's good friend. Xu Hongji holds military power around Nanjing and is an important force in supporting the new king. Now you have to offend such a person for a few personal soldiers! Do you know how serious the consequences are?"

Ma Cheng was so angry that he was panicked when he saw Yue Qijie, but Ma Cheng thought again that these eleven people were the confidants he had just accepted. If he turned around and sold them, who could still fight for him in the future? How could he achieve his ambition to drive out the Tartars? So these eleven people must be protected.

Ma Cheng gritted his teeth and withstood Yue Qijie's pressure, and then said, "Uncle, these eleven people are the confidants of my nephew Xinshou. Please don't let them be scapegoats!"

Yue Qijie has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and his heart is almost the same. In his eyes, only real interests are the most important. As for his confidant, all friends are just tools. Yue Qijie didn't care about his begging Ma Cheng, and said to the outside: "Come, call the officer Zhang Guozhu!"

The bookkeeper at the door bowed and agreed, and after a while, a voice outside the door said, "Zhang Guozhu, the Central Army, asked to see Lord Yue!"

The rank of the general officer of the governor was very high. Zhang Guozhu was entitled the title of deputy general, and the rank was far above Yue Qijie. However, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guozhu was the deputy general, but he still had to kneel down to salute when he saw Yue Qijie.

When Yue Qijie saw Zhang Guozhu get up, he said, "Zhang Zhongjun, go and tie up the eleven personal soldiers who went out with Ma Cheng today!"

Zhang Guozhu was stunned when he heard Yue Qijie say this. Why did he start arresting people just now?

Zhang Guozhu is from Guizhou and has a very good relationship with Ma Shiying, so he still dares to speak in front of Yue Qijie. Zhang Guozhu bowed and asked, "Mr. Yue, how dare you ask what crimes these people have committed?"

Yue Qijie sighed and said, "Hey! Zhang Zhongjun, you are not an outsider. Let's tell you the truth! Ma Cheng took the eleven people out to kill people, and there was also a relative of Duke Wei. Fengyang County came over and said just now, let us hand over those personal soldiers to punish them!"

When Zhang Guozhu heard this, he sighed in his heart and found that it was for this second generation ancestor. Zhang Guozhu had no choice but to bow and accept the order.

Xu Dahu and eleven people came back and rested in the signing room at the gate of the Governor's Office. Not long after, a group of personal soldiers came in to tie Xu Dahu and others up.

Xu Dahu didn't know why, so he quickly asked Zhang Guozhu who followed in: "Zhang Zhenbiao, why is this?"

Zhang Guozhu sighed and said, "I really feel sorry for all brothers!" After that, he waved his hand and took the eleven men to Yue Qijie's place.

Yue Qijie looked at the eleven people and asked, "Who did you kill the shopkeeper in front of Huaiyang Tower at noon?"

When Xu Dahu heard Yue Qijie say this, he felt ashamed. He knew that he would be regarded as a scapegoat. But there was nothing he could do about it. Their military households had low lives, so they could have the eyes of these high officials.

Xu Dahu knew that he would die, so he said with a straight chest: "Sir, that shopkeeper was beaten to death. It has nothing to do with the second master and other brothers. Please let the other brothers go!"

Yue Qijie saw Xu Dahu like this, nodded, sighed and said, "You didn't have to die, but the person you beat him to death was a relative of Duke Wei, and I can't do anything about it! But don't worry, the other ten officials have been protected, and it has nothing to do with them!"

Xu Dahu's face was ashamed, looked at Ma Cheng beside him and said, "Second Master, I have my wife and children in Guiyang, please take care of him!"

Ma Cheng was originally looking down at the ground, and when he heard Xu Dahu say this, he suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table, smashed the cover bowl, and then pressed the fragments against his neck and said, "Yue Qijie, today you must ensure that my eleven brothers are intact. Otherwise, I will commit suicide! How do you explain to my father when he comes back! And how do you explain to my dear aunt! Yue Qijie, as a high-ranking official, you can't do such a mess. If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! You are a bullshit and go back to Guiyang to raise pigs!"

Ma Cheng was excited and nonsense, saying everything out. For a moment, everyone in the room didn't react and were stunned.

Ma Cheng thought well and was preparing to threaten Yue Qijie with his life, but he forgot that except for himself and Yue Qijie, the others in the house were soldiers. Just as Ma Cheng was talking nonsense, Zhang Guozhu took advantage of Ma Cheng's inattention and snatched the fragment. Ma Cheng's attempt to commit suicide failed.

Yue Qijie sneered a few times and said, "Ma Cheng, I didn't expect you to have such blood. I really looked down on you before!"

Seeing that the plan he had not been done, Ma Cheng turned his head rapidly and thought of a solution. At this time, Yue Qijie had signaled Zhang Guozhu to escort Xu Dahu out and handed it over to Fengyang County for treatment.

At this time, Ma Cheng thought that it was useless to deal with an old bureaucrat like Yue Qijie. Only real interests could impress him. Only by making Yue Qijie feel that offending Duke Wei’s gains outweigh losses, can this old guy help.

Ma Cheng yelled in a hurry: "Zhang Guozhu, wait a moment, I have something to say!"

Zhang Guozhu looked at Yue Qijie, and Yue Qijie thought for a while and signaled Zhang Guozhu to go out and wait first.

Ma Cheng and Zhang Guozhu went out and teased their heads, thinking about how to impress the old bureaucrat in front of him.

Ma Cheng organized a language and said, "Uncle, you just said that Duke Wei and the Donglin Party are close. Isn't this our natural enemy? Is it wrong for you to help Duke Wei?"

Yue Qijie saw Ma Cheng's anxious face flushed and said with a smile: "Zhonghe, I am not in harmony with the Donglin Party, but I wouldn't offend Duke Wei for a small personal soldier, right?"

"Uncle, what my nephew means. Now my father is discussing with the Donglin Party to support which prince. If my uncle wants to convince my father to support King Fu, why not offend Duke of Wei and anger the Donglin Party? In this way, my father's plan to support King Lu will go bankrupt! At that time, my father can only support King Fu according to his uncle's plan. Isn't this the best of both worlds!"

Ma Cheng used to be a courier and never had any experience in politics. The only experience in palace fighting was obtained by watching TV series. It was too difficult for him to think of such a solution in a short time today.

Although Ma Cheng's idea was a bit tricky, Yue Qijie was indeed a little moved. However, Yue Qijie is an old official, so he could be moved by Ma Cheng's idea of ​​cheating with loopholes.

Yue Qijie looked at Ma Cheng with fun, and then asked: "Zhonghe, how did you know that your father must have been trapped in supporting King Fu? You must know that your father was ready to support King Lu when he left!"

Ma Cheng then combined the history known to later generations and his own analysis and talked freely: "Uncle, according to the national laws, King Fu should be the ascendant. The Donglin Party insisted on supporting King Lu must be afraid that King Fu would ascend to the throne and settle the score with them. However, the Donglin Party forgot that there were eunuchs in the court besides them! Although the eunuchs were hit hard in the early years of Chongzhen, the centipede was killed and not stiff. My nephew estimated that these eunuchs would definitely join forces with the four towns in Jiangbei to play with a yellow robe!"
