Chapter 1397 Invasion of Ma’s House

Ma Bo was relatively calm at first, but he suddenly panicked after seeing this scene. He knew that Chen Yixin usually lived in a newly built house outside the village, and even if he returned to the village, he would never bring so many soldiers with him.

, looking at this posture, I'm afraid it's not as simple as returning to my father-in-law's house to visit relatives. Moreover, Chen Yixin passed by here without even looking at the immigration camp. It was obvious that he was aware of Zeng Xiaowen's actions, and it was even very possible that he appointed Zeng Xiaowen to lead the troops.

Came here and took control of the immigration camp.

This immigration camp was built by the Haihan people. The power to govern this immigration camp was entrusted to Ma Bo by Chen Yixin. Even if he wanted to demolish the immigration camp, it would be Haihan's internal affairs and it would not be Ma Bo's turn.

Express his opinion. But what really made him feel a chill down his spine was that before Chen Yixin took action, he didn't even say anything. This was obviously intended to hide it from him, the director of the immigration camp. In other words, regardless of Chen Yixin's arrangement of this action

What is the purpose? Obviously Mabo is no longer on his trust list.

Ma Bo didn't dare to think about why he had lost Chen Yixin's trust. Now he only hoped that Zeng Xiaowen would finish the roll call quickly and disappear from his eyes. He quietly looked at the familiar faces in the crowd and saw their faces.

His face was also gloomy, and he was obviously very uneasy about the current situation.

"Director Ma, why are there so many names in the immigration camp but there are no corresponding vacancies?"

When Ma Bo was feeling uneasy, Zeng Xiaowen's voice sounded sinisterly beside him. He came back to his senses and quickly responded: "This... is probably an omission in the villain's record. I will definitely make up for it later."

...make up for it..."

"Oh? Is it just a registration omission?" Zeng Xiaowen asked noncommittally, but without trying to get an answer from him, he turned his head to the front again.

Cold sweat trickled down Ma Bo's back, making his body even colder. Zeng Xiaowen's words may sound like nothing, but Ma Bo was already very guilty at this time, and he naturally felt something else when he heard these words. If Zeng Xiaowen knew

The problem is not just a registration omission, so what is the purpose of coming here to check?

Chen Yixin led his guards into Majiazhuang. The entrance and exit channels outside Zhuangzi have been blocked by the troops. Currently, entry and exit are not allowed in this place. He does not want any more fish to slip through the net in this operation. The Haihan military wants

Naturally, there is no need to ask anyone for instructions when checking the security in the occupied area. However, out of safety considerations, Chen Yixin decided to say hello to his father-in-law. After all, today's action is likely to involve some Ma clan members. If he didn't know what would happen,

It would be bad if the Ma family had a misunderstanding. Of course, the main object of this worry was his little wife Ma Yuling.

When Chen Yixin arrived at the door of Ma's mansion, he asked the troops to wait outside. He went in with only a few personal guards. Everyone in Ma's mansion, including the servants, had been reviewed by Haihan, so Chen Yixin was not worried here.

What could go wrong?

Ma Dongqiang had been sitting and waiting in the flower hall for a long time. When he heard the footsteps of leather boots coming from outside, he knew that his son-in-law had arrived. He quickly put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up. Although he was considered an elder, compared to Chen Yixin,

In front of his son-in-law, he did not dare to use his status to pressure others. Instead, he was extremely cautious in his words and deeds, not daring to displease his noble son-in-law.

"Xian son-in-law, you asked me to wait at home and then blocked Majiazhuang. What happened?" Ma Dongqiang asked with a worried look.

Ma Dongqiang knew very well that whether his family could prosper in the future would largely depend on his Haihan son-in-law. The last time someone assassinated Chen Yixin in Majiazhuang, he was greatly frightened, and he became seriously ill afterwards. This is not true.

He was timid, but worried that after Chen Yixin's accident, the Ma family would lose this important supporter, and it would be difficult for them to live between Haihan and Ming Dynasty. After two months of peace, Chen Yixin suddenly announced his intention to attack the Ma family again.

Temporary military control was implemented in the Zhuang area and all personnel in the Ma family mansion were required not to go out. This made Ma Dongqiang's heart feel in his throat.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. It's just a routine inspection. Everything is under control." Chen Yixin gestured to Ma Dongqiang to sit down and talk.

Ma Dongqiang sat back on the chair and said worriedly: "Several elders in the clan are worried about whether there will be another war. They should pack up their belongings first and avoid the war. If this happens, a good son-in-law should not hide it from his family.

!”

Chen Yixin shook his head and said: "There will be no war, I can guarantee that. However, we have received news that someone from the Ming Dynasty may have sneaked into Majiazhuang recently, so we must do some cleanup work in the area."

After hearing this, Ma Dongqiang relaxed a little and asked tentatively: "Is there another assassin planning to assassinate you? If these restless guys are caught again, they should be executed outside Majiazhuang, so that the local people can be shocked.

See the consequences of making a wrong decision!"

Chen Yixin responded: "I don't know yet whether it is an assassin, but I have to tell my father-in-law first that someone from the Ma family may be colluding with the Ming government. For safety reasons, I must order this hidden danger to be removed!"

"

Ma Dongqiang looked solemn and said: "Is this happening? That's really damn...who is so bold?"

Chen Yixin was silent for a moment before speaking out the answer: "Ma Bo."

"Ma Bo? Isn't he managing the immigration camp? How come he is colluding with the government?" Ma Dongqiang couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard this. He had originally recommended this candidate to Chen Yixin. If something happened, he would be somewhat responsible, at least.

An evaluation that is not careful about people's judgment cannot go away.

Ma Dongqiang would recommend Ma Bo to work under Chen Yixin, of course not because of Ma Bo's personal ability, but entirely because when Ma Bo found him, he hoped to be recommended to Haihan for a relaxing and pleasant job. And Ma Dongqiang

Seeing that his parents had passed away and he could only rely on himself to take care of him, he recommended this candidate to Chen Yixin. If Ma Bo really colluded secretly with the Ming government, then Ma Dongqiang himself seemed to be implicated.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. This matter has not been fully implemented yet. We are still collecting evidence. It's just that he has this suspicion." Chen Yixin already guessed what Ma Dongqiang was thinking when he saw Ma Dongqiang's attitude, and immediately advised him: "Moreover

This is Ma Bo's matter, and we will not use this to implicate the nine tribes, so please rest assured, father-in-law."

Ma Dongqiang felt a little relieved after hearing this promise. He didn't want to be implicated by a fool like Ma Bo. He immediately put on a face of righteousness and extermination of relatives and said: "I will investigate as I should for a good son-in-law. If there are other people colluding with the government,

, then we must eradicate all evil deeds and dig them out and expose them.”

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "It should be so. Then my father-in-law should rest at home for a day and don't go out if you have nothing to do. When we complete the investigation, we will inform his father-in-law of the results."

"Then Yuling..."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I sent Yuling to Zhifu Island yesterday. I will pick her back up after the situation stabilizes in a few days." Chen Yixin stood up and said goodbye to Ma Dongqiang: "I still have to check out the situation outside. Father-in-law, please stay.

!”

"Be careful!" Ma Dongqiang still insisted on sending Chen Yixin out of the door and warned him again. After watching Chen Yixin leave, he ordered his servants to close the door and no one was allowed to go out.

Chen Yixin appeased Ma Dongqiang without any trouble. This is also because the interests of both parties are consistent, and Ma Dongqiang will not think too much about issues such as protecting shortcomings. Although Ma Bo is his nephew, in Ma Dongqiang's view, this blood relationship

In any case, it is not as important as hugging Haihan's thick legs. He recommended Ma Bo to Chen Yixin out of the consideration of increasing capital for the Ma family, but if something goes wrong with Ma Bo, for the sake of the family's future,

Naturally, he would give up this burden without hesitation.

Compared to a useless nephew, of course Chen Yixin, the son-in-law, is more important.

However, not all foreign businessmen doing business in Majiazhuang are as "reasonable" as Ma Dongqiang. After discovering that the entire Majiazhuang was blocked and everyone's movements were restricted, some businessmen were worried about Haihan.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with this military action without any prior notice and no corresponding explanation now. But Chen Yixin was too late to deal with these problems for the time being. As soon as he came out of Ma's mansion, he received a report that the troops encountered Ma Bo's house when they raided it.

It was time to use force to resist. At present, Ma Bo's house has been surrounded by people, and his subordinates asked him for instructions on whether to launch a strong attack. After all, this is Majiazhuang, and the use of force may make the atmosphere in the village even more tense.

"Try not to open fire and capture him alive." Chen Yixin paused and continued: "After you catch the person, search his house carefully and don't let go of a piece of paper!"

After a while, the soldiers were ready under the command of the officer. They lifted a tree stump more than one foot long and one foot thick, and knocked open the door of Mabo's house in two or two blows. Then a group of soldiers lifted the tree stump.

They went in with rifles fixed with bayonets. The people in the courtyard knew they were outnumbered, so they retreated to the second courtyard without any resistance, and then closed the courtyard door tightly. Then the Haihan soldiers followed the same pattern and attacked

The stump came in and launched the second round of door-ramming attack.

The door panels in this kind of courtyard are only an inch thick, and the door bolts can't resist such a strong impact. Just a click was heard. Not only did the door bolts break, but one of the doors was knocked down. Like a wolf

The tiger-like soldiers rushed into the second courtyard, but still did not encounter any resistance. The opponent had retreated to the last courtyard.

At this time, the troops who launched the attack from the back door were turned away. The people hiding in the third courtyard blocked the narrow back door with something unknown, and they could not open it from the outside. So the second and third entered the courtyard.

The gate in between became the main direction of attack. The soldiers quickly carried the tree stumps into the yard, and then launched an offensive against the last barrier.

After breaking open the last door, the soldiers finally saw their opponents. Three desperate men brandished long knives in an attempt to fight in the end, but their struggle seemed in vain. They rushed to the front after slashing.

After the two soldiers, they were captured by a swarm of opponents. Of course, in this situation, it was impossible to capture them alive unscathed. In fact, two of them were stabbed in the hands and feet by bayonets, and the other was

He was hit hard on the side of the face with the butt of a rifle, knocking out seven or eight teeth. He probably suffered a concussion and was unable to run away.

The three prisoners were immediately disarmed and put on shackles and handcuffs. The soldiers took these three people, along with the Mabo family and servants captured in the house, into the courtyard of the first courtyard. At this time, Chen Yixin did not panic.

Walked in leisurely.

Chen Yixin had been to Ma Bo's house once before, when he had just appointed Ma Bo as the director of the immigration camp, and the other party hosted a banquet for him. However, he never imagined that the second time he stepped here, he would actually lead troops to ransack the home.

"Of course you will not be Ma Bo's servants. With his conditions, you will definitely not be able to hire a nurse who is good at swordsmanship." Chen Yixin looked at the three people who were covered in blood, and then asked in a deep voice: "So

Which yamen do you belong to? Dongchang or Jinyiwei? Or Shandong Commandery Division?"

These three people were quite tough. No one raised their head to look at Chen Yixin. They just curled up on the ground and pressed their wounds, moaning softly. It was obvious that they did not intend to confess immediately.

However, this was within Chen Yixin's expectation. If the other party was such a coward, he would not have tried to use force to resist in the desperate situation just now. Chen Yixin sighed and said: "You guys do it honestly, everyone is ready

It saves trouble, I can also let you save your lives, why do you need to suffer a lot before confessing?"

The three people were still silent. Chen Yixin thought of the anonymous report letter sent by Zeng Xiaowen yesterday and sighed: "You think if you keep silent, your accomplices lurking in the immigration camp will be fine? I'm not afraid to tell you.

, I have got the list of you guys a long time ago, and now we are just arresting people accordingly. Do you think you can hide your accomplices without speaking? If you don’t recruit them, others will too."

At this time, one person finally couldn't help but cursed: "I have known for a long time that Ma Bo, a thief who cheats and cheats, is unreliable! In the end, he was betrayed!"

When Chen Yixin heard this, he knew that this person mistakenly believed that their whereabouts were exposed because they were betrayed by Ma Bo, so he cursed. However, he would not give any explanation for Ma Bo, because these words had already confirmed that Ma Bo and them

The facts of collusion. It is certainly not easy to pry open the mouths of these professional intelligence officers, but it will be much easier to obtain Ma Bo's confession.

Soon, the search at Ma Bo's house also yielded new results. The soldiers found four large wooden boxes from under the bed in a room in the backyard. They were full of standard weapons, including more than 20 waist knives and fine steel guns.

There were more than thirty people in front of him, as well as two dismantled military crossbows and a number of crossbow arrows. Chen Yixin secretly rejoiced after seeing this. If the opponent launched a counterattack in the yard with the assembled military crossbow, he might have to lose manpower to attack him.

It was won.
