Ma Ming opened his eyes wide, and his gaze fell on the file on the desk. After just glancing at it, Ma Ming couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and said with an unbelievable look on his face: "This... what is this?"
I saw it written on the file: "On the night of July 4th in the first year of Zhengde, the sky was dry and the house of Han Ling, a thousand households in Jinyi, accidentally flooded. Unfortunately, Han Ling, a thousand households, died, and the casualties of their family members were not counted..."
Chen Ke on the side looked very calm. While putting away the coffee table that was smashed by Li Huan's slap, he sighed and said: "Sir, there is no need to be like this. The other party has obviously reached into Fuzhou."
There are thousands of households in Jinyiwei, so it is not unusual to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, and turn a serious case of family extermination into an accidental leak."
Li Huan looked at Chen Ke's calm expression and couldn't help but said: "Ziming, you don't seem to be surprised at all. Is it possible that there are many things like this?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "It's not that many. After all, there are still very few people who dare to kill officials. However, there are many officials in the Ming Dynasty. Every year, there will always be a few unlucky ones who are either killed by thieves or killed by righteous men."
Killed, or killed by political opponents, this kind of thing is not a strange thing."
Li Huan calmed down a little now. When he thought about it carefully, what Chen Ke said was not unreasonable. It was not impossible for so many officials in the Ming Dynasty to be killed.
Even in later generations, weren't there still officials who died inexplicably?
Looking at Li Huan's expression, Chen Ke said: "Generally speaking, whether it is the Jinyiwei system or local officials, generally speaking, this kind of thing is turned into a big deal and a trivial matter. They are given the name of a natural disaster or a name of suicide.
Report it up.
Ma Ming opened his eyes wide and said: "That is a high-ranking official. He was killed just because he said he was killed? Could it be that all the princes in the court are blind, and they don't know what's going on?"
Chen Ke sneered and said: "Why don't all the officials know it? But even if they know the tricks, it doesn't matter. As long as the relationship between the people who do such things is strong enough, it won't be a big deal and it will be a trivial matter. After all, once it is alarmed
Emperor, all officials must thoroughly investigate the cause of the official's death whether they like it or not. If something is found out at that time, it will lead to greater trouble, and I am afraid there will be more unlucky people..."
After hearing what Chen Ke said, Li Huan finally understood what was going on.
Chen Ke said calmly: "In the final analysis, as long as it is not too much, or if you have enough ability to settle everything, for the princes in the court, it will be fine if you turn a blind eye or close an eye.
Li Huan couldn't help but sneered as if he had heard some funny joke: "It's so funny. Aren't they afraid that one day they will also commit suicide?"
Chen Ke sighed: "They all say that the matter has nothing to do with them and they just ignore it. There is no real threat to themselves. Who would wade into such muddy waters for the sake of others?"
Ma Ming couldn't help but said: "So the death of Han Ling's family is so unclear? Even the Jin Yiwei's archives record that he died in an accidental water leakage, with no bones left?"
Frowning, Li Huan looked at Chen Ke and said: "Who is in charge of the Experience Department? Others can't tell. As a Jin Yiwei, can't you see the fishiness in this? Why did you just stamp it without even sending someone to investigate?
Archived?”
Chen Ke hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, now the person in charge of the Experience Department is Lu Heng, the commanding officer. However, Lu Heng rarely interferes with the affairs of the Experience Department. He only waits for his career and retirement. I think he is also in the spirit of doing more.
One less thing to think about…”
Ma Ming on the side couldn't help but murmured softly: "I really don't know how many people or officials died in this peaceful and prosperous age, which seemed to be normal, but in fact there was something hidden inside!"
A trace of ridicule flashed in Li Huan's eyes: "Isn't this the peaceful and prosperous age that all officials want?"
Chen Keshen nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this is the peaceful and prosperous age that all officials want. If all the lids are lifted, the world will be in turmoil and the people will not live in peace. In the future, they will all be remembered heavily in history.
One stroke!"
Isn't this the instinct of these officials to cover up the truth when something goes wrong?
After blinking, Ma Ming looked at Li Huan and said, "Sir, what should I do?"
A sharp look flashed in Li Huan's eyes. He looked at the archive in his hand and sneered: "Han Ling, Cheng Yi and the others will not die quietly like this."
Although Chen Ke said that he had already guessed what decision Li Huan would make, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard what Li Huan said.
He didn't know about the grudge between Li Huan and Cai Wen, nor did he know who Han Ling was plotting against.
But being able to secretly plot against a thousand members of a royal guard, and also be able to cover up the sky with one hand, deceive the superiors and the inferiors, and turn the murder case into an accident. Chen Ke could also imagine that the opponent was either a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking official in the border area.
Facing such a person is a huge trouble in itself, especially since Li Huan and Han Ling are not relatives, but just for the death of their subordinates. How can Chen Ke not be moved by this?
Regarding Cai Wenzuan's plan to plot Langqi Island and even the death of his father Li Xian, among the entire Jinyiwei Yamen, only Chen Yao and Li Huan who brought the news knew about it. Even Chen Ke and Ma Ming also knew about it.
Not sure what's going on.
After all, when Li Huan met Chen Yao before, Chen Ke, Ma Ming and others had intentionally avoided it. They also knew that Li Huan had sent Chen Yao to his hometown in Fujian. They thought it was for some private matter, so they all avoided it knowingly.
Later, when he learned that thousands of Han Lingtang's Jinyiwei families had been wiped out, he just thought it was a major local case that Chen Yao accidentally ran into during his trip to Fujian, but he didn't think much about it.
Sensing Chen Ke's strange gaze and reaction, Li Huan just thought for a moment and realized that Chen Ke had misunderstood and regarded himself as the kind of superior officer who was not afraid of hardships and was willing to uphold justice for his subordinates.
However, Li Huan had no intention of explaining it. Anyway, whether it was to bring justice to Han Ling or to avenge his father's murder, he would investigate to the end and capture Cai Wen.
Thinking about the evidence he had obtained from Ma Ming about Cai Wen's crimes, after looking through it, Jin Yiwei found out about the various crimes Cai Wen had committed over the years, one by one, which can be said to be shocking.
If he hadn't had personal experience, Li Huan would have been a little unbelievable just by looking at the crimes.
Colluded with Japanese pirates, raised dead soldiers, seized people's fields, robbed people's daughters, and destroyed families at every turn. There was even a story about two officials who were secretly murdered by Cai Wen because they opposed Cai Wen.
Thinking about it now, Li Huan somewhat understands why Cai Wen dared to support someone so blatantly seizing the Li family's hereditary position as official of one hundred households in Langqi Island.
Compared with the crimes committed by Cai Wen, trying to seize the official position of a hundred households in Langqi Island and killing Li Xian, a hundred households in the guard station, is just one of the many crimes.
One more thing is not much, and one thing less is not much. For Cai Wen, there is no difference at all between one more thing and one less thing.
What it means to cover the sky with one hand, what it means to have the sky high and the emperor far away, and what it means to be lawless. Li Huan finally had a real feeling after seeing Cai Wen's crimes.
Exhaling a breath, Li Huan waved his hand and said: "Put away the archives about Han Ling, send the rest back to the Experience Department, and then go back and rest early."
Zuiyue Tower, in the evening, several men who are not easy to offend at first sight appear in Zuiyue Tower. The leader's face is covered with scars. Just one glance will make people subconsciously avoid the fierce look of the other person.
look.
"The shopkeeper's, the shopkeeper's..."
At this time, there were many diners dining in the lobby of Zuiyue Tower. You were talking to each other, and the atmosphere was lively. But when they saw these big men, they all immediately closed their mouths and lowered their heads.
After dinner, the entire lobby fell silent, only the shouts of the scarred-faced man echoed.
The waiter hurriedly ran over and said, "Masters, I wonder if you have any orders."
For such a person, the waiter naturally knows how to deal with it. He smiles on his face and bows his body, for fear of offending the other person and giving him an excuse to get angry.
Glancing at the waiter, the scar-faced man said: "Where is your shopkeeper? He said that Scar San is here and asked him to prepare wine, meat and good girls to entertain me."
The waiter was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the scarred man didn't seem to be joking, he quickly said: "Guys, please wait a moment. I'm going to see my shopkeeper."
Cai Changgui was chatting with Sun Xiang in the backyard, and the expressions on their faces were very relaxed.
I heard Cai Changgui say: "Sir, you might as well pay a visit to Li Huan sometime. We all have the friendship of fellow villagers, so it would be good to move around more."
Sun Xiang stroked his beard and nodded: "You are right. I will visit Li Huan tomorrow. Maybe I can make some inquiries and see if he has recommended you to the emperor."
Cai Changgui said immediately: "I have saved here the profit of the restaurant for more than a year, which is almost five thousand taels of silver. When you go to visit Li Huan, the emperor's favorite, you can't leave empty-handed. You have to buy some generous gifts."
Sun Xiang nodded and said: "You have lived in the capital for a long time and have a wide network of contacts. You can handle this gift. One of the expenses should be paid. As long as the accounts are clear, I will speak to you sir."
Upon hearing this, Cai Changgui cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
While he was talking, the waiter said from afar: "Shopkeeper, there is a fierce man named Scar San outside who has brought a few people to look for you."
Cai Changgui was stunned for a moment, and whispered softly: "Scar San? Why does this name sound familiar?"
Sun Xiang frowned and said, "Could it be Ma San'er, that killer under your command..."
Cai Changgui was suddenly startled and said: "Why did he come to the capital like this murderer? Could it be that something happened?"
Sun Xiang knew that Cai Wen had several pirates and dead soldiers under his command, and he had some understanding of it. However, Ma San, the scarred man, had never seen Sun Xiang, so Sun Xiang glanced at Cai Changgui and said, "Go and see one of them."
See why he came to Beijing, I'll go back to my room to take a look."
Cai Changgui knew that Sun Xiang was a scholar and had no regard for a rude man like Ma San who licked blood from his knife edge, so it was not surprising that Sun Xiang avoided Ma San.
Watching Sun Xiang go back to his room, Cai Changgui said to the waiter: "Go and invite the people here."
Soon the scar-faced man with a sinister look walked into the backyard. When he saw Sun Xiang sitting there drinking tea, he couldn't help but grinned: "Brother Cai, do you still remember me, Ma San?"
Cai Changgui prides himself on being an educated man, and he also looks down on the rude manner of the scarred man. However, as a restaurant owner, he is used to welcoming people and sending them off, so naturally he will not reveal his inner thoughts, but smiles all over his face.
He stood up and said to the scar-faced man with great enthusiasm: "Brother Ma is really joking. Even if Mr. Cai forgets his name, he can't forget you, Brother Ma."
He pulled Ma San to sit down and said, "Come on, come on, you have arrived at my territory today. Brother Ma, you must let me, my brother, join the friendship of the landlord."
Seeing Cai Changgui's enthusiasm, Ma San grinned and said, "Okay, it's no wonder that we thought of you, so we tried all our means and went into the city to see you!"
Cai Changgui ordered people to prepare wine and food, and soon he saw sumptuous food and wine being served, and the men who came with Ma San were also provided with sumptuous food and wine.
At this moment, Cai Changgui was drinking with Ma San and said, "Brother Ma, isn't he at your master's side? Why do you have the time to go to Beijing all the way? Could it be that you have some orders from your master?"
Ma San chuckled, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then whispered: "Originally, this matter is a secret, and we shouldn't tell others, but you, shopkeeper Cai, are not outsiders. Let me tell you something."
That’s okay.”
At this time, Ma San was obviously a little drunk, so he told Cai Changgui that he was ordered to lead people to intercept and kill Cheng Yi, a member of the Jin Yiwei family.
Cai Changgui's face turned pale after hearing this, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He was obviously frightened by the fact that Cai Wen sent people to hunt down the Jinyiwei officials thousands of miles away.
Seeing Cai Changgui's frightened look, Ma San couldn't help grinning and said with a bit of disdain: "I'm not telling you, your courage is suitable for asking for some information for adults in this capital, isn't it just a mere person?
There are hundreds of Jin Yiwei households, we adults have even wiped out thousands of Jin Yiwei households, so it’s not like nothing has happened.”
Taking a deep breath, Cai Changgui's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Perhaps because he had lived in the capital for a long time, Cai Changgui was obviously not very courageous. At this moment, he was really frightened by Ma San's words.
After a while, Cai Changgui finally regained his composure, looked at Ma San and said, "Brother Ma San, did you kill those hundreds of Jin Yiwei?"
Ma San nodded and said, "Is there anything we brothers can't do if we take action?"
As he said this, Ma San frowned and said, "But it's a pity that I didn't get the full success, and one person got away in the end. I'm afraid that when I go back to see you this time, I will be punished by you."
It seemed that he was worried because he didn't get back the evidence and just killed Cheng Yi. Ma San, who was originally smiling, now looked a little more worried.
"What!"
Cai Changgui was immediately shocked and said: "You... you..."
Ma San was so drunk that he was already dizzy from drinking. He glanced at Cai Changgui and said, "Don't worry, it's best to get that thing back. It doesn't matter if you can't get it back. We adults are deeply rooted in Fujian, so
The emperor's words are not as effective as those of adults, so who can do anything to defeat your Majesty."
Cai Changgui didn't think so. Ma San was just a rough man with little knowledge. After being tamed by Cai Wen's methods, he helped Cai Wen commit countless murders and silences. In his shallow understanding, there was no Cai Wen.
Those who dare to go against Cai Wen will not end up well in the end.
Although what Ma San said was messy, Cai Changgui vaguely analyzed one thing, that is, Cai Wen may have a clue that fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei. This clue must be quite big, otherwise Cai Wen would not have been allowed to send Ma San.
He led people to chase him thousands of miles away.
"No, you have to see Li Huan immediately. As long as Li Huan can help, this matter is nothing. When it comes to Jin Yiwei, isn't that a matter of just one word from Li Huan?"
At this moment, Sun Xiang, who had been staying in the room but paying attention to what was going on outside, came out.
Although he was already a bit drunk, it didn't mean that Ma San had lost his vigilance. When Sun Xiang came out, Ma San was excited and subconsciously reached out to grab Sun Xiang.
When Cai Changgui saw this, he couldn't help shouting: "Brother Ma, stop it quickly."
On the other hand, Sun Xiang seemed very calm and shouted coldly at Ma San: "Ma San, open your eyes wide and see who I am."
Ma San paused, rubbed his eyes, and immediately changed his expression and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Sun. It's Mr. Ma who was rude. Please forgive me."
With a cold snort, Sun Xiang glanced at Ma San and said, "What is going on? Why did my lord send you to the capital to hunt down a Jin Yiwei Baihu."
Ma San told the story again. In fact, it was no different from what he had just told Cai Changgui. After all, he was just a thug. Even if something happened, Cai Wen and others would not let him know. It was good for him to know so much.
.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Sun Xiang had a sad look on his face. What Cai Changgui could think of, he couldn't think of.
At this moment, Cai Changgui said to Sun Xiang: "Sir, in fact, this matter is not that troublesome. You only need to ask Li Huan. With his authority in Jinyiwei, if he wants to help the master suppress anything, it can be done with just one sentence."
thing."
Sun Xiang's eyes lit up and he nodded: "You are right. This matter should be taken care of sooner rather than later. I will visit him tonight."
Cai Changgui said, "I'll go buy some gifts right now."
In the evening, Ma Sanbai drove a carriage boredly. While driving under the guidance of others, he looked around and said with a bit of disappointment: "Isn't it said that the capital is prosperous and there are brothels and brothels everywhere? After walking for so long
,Why didn’t I see anywhere..."
Sun Xiang, who was sitting in the carriage, almost laughed angrily at Ma San's words. What do you mean there are brothels and brothels everywhere in the capital?
With a slight cough, Sun Xiang glanced at Ma San and said: "Since you are rushing over here, then drive the car properly. When you get to the place, you must restrain your temper, otherwise it will harm the Lord."
The thing is, it’s not enough even if you’re skinned and cramped.”
Ma San couldn't help but said: "You have said it eight hundred times. I, Ma San, can memorize it now. I promise not to be silent or speak. I can just act as a mute."
Sun Xiang snorted coldly and said: "This man is a favorite of the emperor and a new member of the Jinyiwei. He has great power. Even the elder was pulled down by him. If you provoke him, no one can protect you."
Although Ma San has a rough temper and is a bit lawless, it does not mean that he is a fool. If he is really a fool, he cannot become the leader of Cai Wen's dead soldiers.
When Sun Xiang heard what he said, he immediately grinned and said, "Mother, even the prime minister was pulled off his horse. This man is so powerful."
Ignoring Ma San anymore, Sun Xiang closed his eyes and rested, thinking about what he would say to Li Huan if he met Li Huan later.
After all, he couldn't guarantee what Li Huanhui's attitude would be when it came to Jin Yiwei's internal affairs.
In this way, the carriage quickly arrived in front of Li Huan's mansion.
Looking at the small courtyard, Sun Xiang couldn't help but show a bit of ridicule in his eyes. Previously, he thought that the other party lived in this small alley, and even the courtyard was no different from ordinary people. He was an upright and good official.
.
Unexpectedly, the other party accepted the heavy gift he sent without even blinking an eye. It seemed that he was suddenly favored and had not had time to change his residence.
With these thoughts in mind, Sun Xiang slowly got up and got out of the carriage, straightened his clothes, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon there was a squeak, and a young eunuch with delicate features poked his head out and said, "Who are you, and what can I do for you?"
Sun Xiang bowed his hands and said, "I am Sun Xiang, a fellow countryman of Lord Li Huan. I came to visit you a few days ago. I am here today to ask for an audience. Please pass the message on my behalf."
As he spoke, Sun Xiang took out a piece of silver and gave it to the young eunuch.
The young eunuch glanced at Sun Xiang and said, "My lord is still in the Yamen on errands and has not come back yet. If you have anything urgent, just wait outside."
With a bang, the little eunuch closed the door without caring about Sun Xiang's reaction, leaving Sun Xiang with a stunned look on his face.
Ma San, who was following Sun Xiang, saw this scene in his eyes. He couldn't help but look at the closed door, and then looked at Sun Xiang. He secretly admired him. He was so rude to Mr. Sun, which really opened his eyes.
Sun Xiang took a deep breath and said to Ma San, who looked strange, "Follow me and wait here for Li Huan's return."
Ma San responded when he heard the words.
The night was deep, and it was pitch black everywhere. There were not many noble houses nearby, so there were few lanterns hanging in front of their doors, so it looked dark.
Fortunately, Li Huan is now a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei. Even though his residence is a bit crude and shabby, under Cao Yu's arrangement, a lantern is still hung at the door.
After all, no one can guarantee whether someone will come looking for Li Huan in the middle of the night. After all, he has an official status. If there is an emergency, if others come to seek help, it is hard to be blind and unable to find the door.
Bar.
The bright red lantern has the powerful character "李" written on it. People can see it at a glance when they arrive at the entrance of the alley. At the same time, it also illuminates the originally dark alley.
A faint sound of footsteps came, gradually approaching, and Ma San, who was staring at the red lantern boredly, suddenly lit up.
The long scars on his face moved accordingly, and the red light from the big red lantern made Ma San look like a ferocious ghost.
At this moment, Sun Xiang also heard the noise. He raised his head and looked towards the alleyway in the distance, and saw several figures walking slowly. As they got closer and closer, Sun Xiang recognized the person. Isn't it Li Huan?
Li Huan naturally also noticed Sun Xiang and others waiting at the door. He paused slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he strode forward with a smile gradually appearing on his face.
As he approached, Sun Xiang quickly saluted Li Huan and said, "I'd like to pay my respects to you, sir."
Li Huan looked at Sun Xiang and smiled slightly: "I just said that the magpies are chirping on the branches today. It turns out that Mr. Sun is here. Come in quickly!"
Li Huan led Sun Xiang into the courtyard with great enthusiasm. At this moment, Chen Yao, who was following Li Huan with several royal guards in golden uniforms, suddenly fell on Chen Yao, who was standing beside the carriage with his head lowered.
Ma San.
Chen Yao and others were responsible for Li Huan's safety, so they were sufficiently vigilant about everyone who appeared around Li Huan.
Sun Xiang is just that, he looks like a weak scholar at first glance, but Ma San is different. Although Ma San lowers his head and cannot see his appearance clearly, his burly body is full of explosive power.
Especially the bloody evil aura on his body, one can tell at a glance that he is not a good person.
"Um!"
Chen Yao paused. He felt that Ma San's figure seemed familiar to him, so he couldn't help but stop and stare at Ma San.
As a martial artist, Ma San naturally has keen senses. When Chen Yao's scrutinizing eyes fell on him, Ma San's reaction was immediately aroused.
Because the alley was dark, Ma San did not recognize Chen Yao. After all, when they were chasing Chen Yao and Cheng Yi, Chen Yao and Cheng Yi were in an extremely embarrassed state. At the same time, Chen Yao was neatly packed and dressed in the official uniform of a hundred households.
In comparison, it's like he's a completely different person.
However, Ma San sensed Chen Yao's gaze and subconsciously raised his head and glanced at it. With just one glance, Ma San was stunned, thinking to himself why this man's figure and eyes looked so familiar.
But Chen Yao recognized the other party at a glance. Chen Yao had a deep memory of Ma San. After all, the other party intercepted and killed him outside the city gate not long ago. In addition, Ma San had the iconic scar on his face.
If Chen Yao couldn't recognize Ma Sanlai, he could only be said to be blind.
"It's you!"
Almost instinctively, Chen Yao let out a low cry, and with only one sound, the embroidered spring knife was unsheathed and rushed towards Chen Yao.
Ma San was a little confused, but when Chen Yao unsheathed his sword and struck at him, Ma San immediately realized, isn't this Cheng Yi's companion?
"Grandma, we are really on the wrong road!"
Ma San cursed secretly, dodged directly, and at the same time reached out to pull out the long knife hidden in the carriage and faced Chen Yao.
Chen Yao originally thought that Ma San and the thieves who were chasing them would not dare to enter the city and had fled far away, but he did not expect that he would see them here again not long after.
The moment he saw Ma San, what Chen Yao thought was that the other party had touched Li Huan's residence, and he must have wanted to harm Li Huan.
Others don't know, but Chen Yao knows very well the hatred between Cai Wen and Li Huan. It is a mortal hatred for killing his father. Now Li Huan is in charge of the Imperial Guard and has a high position. In order to protect himself, Cai Wen sent someone to assassinate Li Huan.
It's not impossible.
After all, Cai Wen has already killed Han Ling, a thousand members of the Imperial Guard, so it seems like it would be nothing to kill one more Li Huan.
"This thief wants to do harm to you. What are you doing here? Let me capture him quickly!"
Chen Yao was about the same strength as Ma San, but for a moment he really couldn't do anything to him, so he shouted at the bewildered Jinyi Guardsman behind him.
Immediately, several Jinyi guards drew their swords and pounced on Ma San. Chen Yao even said that the opponent wanted to assassinate Li Huan. These Jinyi guards looked at Ma San as if they were looking at a dead person.
Especially when Ma San pulled out the murder weapon from the carriage, these royal guards became more and more convinced of Ma San's identity.
Just as he and Li Huan walked into the courtyard, there was chaos behind them. Before Sun Xiang could figure out what was going on, he saw Ma San and several members of the Jin Yiwei fighting together.
Especially when he saw the scene where Ma San actually drew the knife from the carriage, Sun Xiang couldn't help but exclaimed, this time it was really yellow mud that fell to his crotch, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Li Huan looked at Ma San who was really being besieged in the alley with a serious expression. He secretly guessed Ma San's identity. At the same time, he looked at Sun Xiang with some suspicion. Could it be that Sun Xiang already knew his identity and specially led people to think about it.
Want to assassinate yourself?
Sun Xiang noticed Li Huan's eyes, especially Li Huan's suspicious eyes. Sun Xiang almost cried and said with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, there is a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding!"
Li Huan sneered, stared at Sun Xiang and said, "Mr. Sun, tell me, this man is holding a murder weapon. He is not trying to harm me, but what is he trying to do?"
Sun Xiang felt regretful at this moment. If he had known this earlier, he would never have brought Ma San here.
"Bring the person to me!"
Sun Xiang did not resist at all, and allowed Jin Yiwei to take him away, but he looked at Ma San with worry. Ma San was different from him. Previously, Ma San was chasing Jin Yiwei's people. Once they were found out, they would die.
deal.
But he is different. I believe that with his eloquence, he will be able to explain clearly. So what Sun Xiang wants is for Ma San to get out quickly and not to be caught.
Ma San was extremely fierce. Even when he was surrounded by several Jinyi guards, he still did not fall behind. He even became more courageous as he fought. Chen Yao took a step back after being shocked by the sword, but he followed the impact and flew up to the wall and said with a smile: "I want to stay."
Your grandfather and I are still a little behind..."
The next moment, before Ma San could finish his words, a sound was heard in the air. The next moment, Ma San screamed in pain and fell directly to the ground. Looking at the situation with his head stuck on the ground, several Jin Yiwei couldn't help but
I shrank my neck, it was really painful.
Sure enough, Ma San fell straight down from the wall and passed out.
Chen Yao stepped forward and took a look, and saw a blood hole the size of a copper coin on the knee of one of Ma San's legs, gurgling with blood. Apparently someone had smashed the knee with a hidden weapon, which caused Ma San to fall from the wall.
Fall down.
Apart from Li Huan, there is really no one else here who can do this.
Sure enough, when he looked towards Li Huan, Li Huan had already walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
After giving the order, several people stepped forward and immediately tied up Ma San, then dragged him into the yard and threw him on the ground like a dead dog.
At this moment, Sun Xiangzheng explained to Li Huan with a wry smile: "Sir, the misunderstanding is all a misunderstanding. This person has nothing to do with me at all. I just hired a rickshaw driver at random. I never expected him to be a rickshaw driver."
He would actually hide a weapon with the intention of doing evil to you."
Li Huan ignored Sun Xiang and glanced at Chen Yao.
At this moment, Chen Yao came forward and explained in a low voice in Li Huan's ear, and then Li Huan understood Ma San's identity.
I can only say that I really don’t care. In this huge capital, if it is not for bad luck, the possibility of Ma San sneaking into the capital and being caught by Chen Yao is almost slim.
Who would have thought that the other party had just entered the city and would actually be bumped into by Chen Yao.
If he hadn't known about Ma San's identity, and to be honest, just looking at Sun Xiang's extremely aggrieved look, he might have actually been deceived by Sun Xiang.
However, Li Huan didn't mean to expose the other party. Since the other party didn't know his identity yet, he would just act with him and see what the other party's purpose was. Maybe he could give him a surprise then.
.
Seeing that Li Huan's expression had softened a lot, Sun Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Sir, I really came to pay homage to you today. I have also prepared a generous gift. I am on the carriage at the moment. If you don't believe me,
You might as well send someone to take a look."
Li Huan's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, so I blamed you wrongly?"
Seeing the bright look in Li Huan's eyes, Sun Xiang cursed in his heart. At the same time, he was glad that he had prepared a generous gift. He believed that when Li Huan saw the generous gift later, he would not associate himself with Ma San.
At this moment, Li Huan nodded towards Cao Yu and said, "Cao Yu, go to the carriage and take a look."
Then he swept away the tied up Ma San on the ground, waved his hand and said: "Bring this man to me and interrogate him carefully to see if he has any connections with any officials in the court and dares to assassinate me."
Sun Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and secretly asked Li Huan to use Ma San's incident to attack some officials in the court?
As staff members, if any words spoken by superiors fall into their ears, they will instinctively break them into pieces and taste them carefully to see if there is any deep meaning contained in them.
Cao Yu came over with a brocade box and said: "Sir, this brocade box was found on the carriage. It contains a double dragon playing with beads ornament carved from suet jade. It is extremely exquisite and valuable!"
Li Huan took a look, a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at Sun Xiang and said: "Mr. Sun spent a lot of money. It seems that that person really has nothing to do with Mr. Sun. It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding."
After waving his hands, the two Jinyi guards who were holding Sun Xiang immediately let go of Sun Xiang. Only then did Sun Xiang regain his freedom and hurriedly apologized to Li Huan: "It's just that I was too negligent. I just rented a carriage at will.
But I never thought that I would be targeted by a thief. Fortunately, Sir, I have good fortune, otherwise, if the thief hurt Sir, everything would be hard to redeem for Sun."
Li Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Sun, it was just an unintentional mistake. Since it has nothing to do with Mr. Sun, then let's leave it at that."
Sun Xiang hurriedly thanked you and said, "Your Majesty is so magnanimous. Sun is grateful to you."
Inviting Sun Xiang into the hall, Li Huan said with a smile: "Mr. Sun is here to inquire about the official transfer situation of Mr. Cai, right?"
Sun Xiang smiled slightly and said: "No, no, I just came here to walk around and give the jade carvings I found to you."
Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, Li will take your family's affairs very seriously, and he will definitely give your family a big surprise when the time comes."
Li Huan meant to give his lord a high promotion. Sun Xiang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. He stood up and said to Li Huan: "Sun, thank you very much on behalf of my lord."
As he spoke, Sun Xiang said with an excited face: "When the matter is completed, my master will never forget your kindness, and there will definitely be a big thank you."
Li Huan laughed loudly and said: "Easy to say, easy to say!"
After something like this happened, Sun Xiang was not in the mood to stay any longer, and Li Huan also expressed his stance to him. He would give his family a surprise when the time came. This was a clear statement.
Sun Xiang bid farewell to Li Huan and returned to Zuiyue Tower with full of melancholy and joy.
When Shopkeeper Cai saw Sun Xiang walking back alone, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Sir, what are you..." He said angrily: "Ma San is so unruly, how can he let Mr. Sun come back on foot alone!"
Sun Xiang sat down. He was really tired from walking all the way back. He rubbed his legs and said, "Ma San is over!"
Shopkeeper Cai was cursing Ma San, but when he heard Sun Xiang's words, he was startled and looked at Sun Xiang with confusion.
Sun Xiang sighed softly and told the story about how Ma San was somehow noticed by the Jin Yiwei that something was wrong, and during the fight between the two sides, he was captured by mistake.
Shopkeeper Cai was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he said, "How could this happen?"
At this moment, he finally understood why Sun Xiang said that after Ma San was over, everyone fell into the hands of the Jin Yiwei. It would be strange if this was a good thing.
Suddenly, a look of worry appeared on Shopkeeper Cai's face and he said: "No, Ma San fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei's people. If he can't withstand Jin Yiwei's torture, we and the adults will be blamed..."
Sun Xiang narrowed his eyes, shook his head slowly and said, "Don't worry, Ma San will never have the courage. He knows better than anyone the consequences of betraying you."
After Shopkeeper Cai calmed down, he thought of Cai Wen's terrifying methods of controlling his dead soldiers, and felt relieved. He nodded slightly and said, "I hope I'm worrying too much!"
Sun Xiang thought that although this trip did not go well, and he even got a ride with someone like Ma San inexplicably, Sun Xiang still couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of Li Huan's promise.
Noticing the smile on Sun Xiang's face, Shopkeeper Cai couldn't help but feel curious, and took a ride in. Sun Xiang was still in such a good mood. It seemed that the harvest this time was definitely not small.
"Why are you so happy, sir?"
Sun Xiang stroked his beard and said rather reservedly: "Li Huan just told me that he wanted to give us a big surprise!"
Cai Changgui's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face.
Sun Xiang smiled while stroking his beard and looked at Cai Changgui: "What kind of big surprise do you think Li Huan will give you?"
