Look, how do you want the three maids to answer this question? Say yes. If the young master really dies, they will be buried with him.
Just say you don't want to, because the end will probably be worse than death.
"Grandma, have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy on me."
Not daring to answer directly, the three maids could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
The eldest lady's face turned cold when she saw this: "Someone, drag them out and beat them to death with sticks."
"Ah!" When the three maids heard this, their faces turned pale, and they rushed to the bedside. Their watery eyes were widened and they looked at Xu Tong with tears in their eyes: "Master, you are so merciful, please spare Xiang'er.
, Xiang'er is willing to make cows and horses for you."
Xu Tong narrowed his eyes and a cold look appeared on his face.
"It's so tiring to be a cow and a horse. You laughed so beautifully just now. Since you like to laugh so much, just laugh as much as you can. Send them to Xiangyue Building to let her laugh as much as she can."
Upon hearing the words "Xiang Yue Lou", Xiang'er was startled at first, and then she grabbed the foot of the bed and cried loudly.
Xiangyue Tower is a paradise for men and a hell for women, second only to the official prostitutes in Sijiofang.
The three of them have been in the house since they were young, eating and drinking with the young master, so why would they want to go to a place like that?
"Hmph, you are still picky and picky. I think you should stop going to Xiangyue Building and drag them out."
The eldest grandma was not a bad person either. Seeing that the three Xiang'er dared to pick and choose at this time, she got angry.
A group of servants rushed in, pulled the person by his hair, put on his arms, and dragged the person out. After a while, they heard the sound of beating sticks and screams.
In less time than a cup of tea, the man had been beaten to death with sticks, and his body was thrown into a mass grave to be fed to the dogs.
From beginning to end, Xu Tong never said a word to them.
The eldest grandma had cried enough and her anger was almost gone. She patted Xu Tong on the shoulder, told her son to have a good rest, got up and left the room.
Xu Tong glanced at the wound on his abdomen and lay on the bed thinking about his current identity.
Ma Hongwen, the eldest son who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was the living king of hell in the eyes of the people in the four major offices in the capital.
I was listening to music at Guangde Tower today and was assassinated!
His assassin was not some gangster, but a young man who was only thirteen years old.
A thirteen-year-old boy dared to assassinate him. There was no conspiracy behind it. It was just because Young Master Ma had taken a fancy to the boy's sister, who was one year younger. Seeing Shui Ling, he wanted to recruit her into the house.
A bed-warming maid.
As a result, the girl disobeyed him and annoyed him, so he kicked her to death on the side of the road.
That young man came here to avenge his sister.
What's the king's law? Sorry, I am.
Today, the Datong Dynasty is besieged on all sides. The iron ships and cannons of the West ruthlessly tore apart the dream of the Datong Dynasty.
Today's steam cars and steam cannons are simply indestructible, and the so-called Beiyan Navy of the Datong Dynasty was simply vulnerable.
The Emperor of Datong doesn't care about this at all. He will cede territory and pay compensation for it, just give it to you.
I want money! Here you go.
If you want to open a company and get tax exemption, I'll give it to you.
The emperor has this attitude, and the government is rotten to the core.
This is an era where human lives are worth less than dogs. How can the lives of ordinary people be called lives?
At least in the eyes of the officials, they were all untouchables, and it wouldn't be a big deal if one or two died.
Ma Hongwen relied on his father's background and his family to have a lot of money. Killing people was nothing. When the people from the Yamen heard that it was him, they didn't need to report it to the county magistrate, and they sent someone to bury the body on the spot.
Death is like a lamp going out, there is no proof of death.
Who dares to file a complaint? Who can prove that Master Ma killed someone?
It was this lawless background that made Ma Hongwen develop a moody temper. The three maids were beaten and scolded by him all day long. When he was in a good mood, he would reward her with some gold and silver, but when he was in a bad mood, he would backhand him.
Just drown the person's head in a water tank and torture him.
In the middle of winter, I would pull someone out of bed, stand naked in the snow and dance for him. If he didn't dance well, I would throw a basin of hot water on him.
He tortured five or six maids to death in one winter. When asked why, he just said two words, "It's fun!"
Such a master who regards human life as a game is the role he wants to play.
[Side mission 1: Actor]
This is an era where magic and steam collide with each other, and it is destined to be a bad era. You may encounter all kinds of weird and weird magic, including body snatching!!
Mission goal: Play the role of Ma Hongwen as completely as possible without letting others see the flaws.
Failure penalty: If you are suspected, your life may be in danger.
Mission progress: 3/100.
"interesting."
After playing scenario killing so many times, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of mission.
Xu Tong thought about it carefully and found out that it was most likely because of his status at this time.
After all, this status has too many inherent advantages. His father is a high-ranking official in the imperial court and is in charge of the imperial army.
The family is powerful, but it also happens to be a dynasty that is rotten to the core.
If it wasn't a bit difficult, it would be a bit unjustifiable.
He took a look at the wound on his abdomen. With the dark constitution protecting him, a small wound on his abdomen was nothing. What's more, Ma Hongwen's father, Ma Qi, was a serious military commander. As the saying goes, he was poor in literature but rich in military affairs.
The medicines given to him were all top-quality golden sore medicines. I heard that even the doctor who looked at his injuries was a doctor from the army who specializes in treating internal and external wounds caused by swords. In this regard, he was even the imperial doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital.
It can't be compared.
However, Xu Tong did not intend to get up, so he called Jixiang and Daya: "Daya, please take a look around and inquire about the situation of the mansion. Jixiang, please go out and have a look. Don't go too far. Just look around and see if there is anything interesting."
.”
"Respect the teachings of the Master!"
The two of them bowed and turned into two plumes of green smoke, one black and one white, and flew out to inquire about news for Xu Tong.
After Daya and Jixiang left, Xu Tong lay on the bed and fumbled around in the props book, and found that the script was still there. Although the script did not specify what kind of tasks each person's role had, nor was it written in detail.
Know the details of the entire script.
But the general direction is definitely not wrong.
Judging from the script, in the current Datong Dynasty, the emperor does not have real power. Everything is controlled by the Empress Dowager Cisheng behind the scenes. In the past two years, the emperor has slowly gained some power.
Stimulated by the Western steam movement, the emperor now supported a group of people and began to clamor for a reform strategy for a powerful country.
However, according to the script, this group of people all acted blindly. Not only did they not succeed, they became an excuse for the Empress Dowager Cisheng to take back the power of the emperor.
Xu Tong was studying the script when his ears suddenly moved and he heard footsteps outside. He immediately put the script away and lay down on the bed obediently.
After a while, I heard the door being pushed open.
A man in his forties came in, opened the bed curtain with his fingers, and looked at his pale son lying on the bed. The man's eyes widened, and he lowered his hand raised in the air and cursed.
: "You're a loser, you deserve it."
Xu Tong half-squinted his eyes and took a look. The man in front of him must be Ma Qi.
The officer in charge of the imperial army, wearing a third-grade hat, holds 50,000 imperial troops in his hands. It can be said that the wealth and life of the emperor and the empress dowager Cisheng are in the hands of his father.
In his memory, Ma Hongwentian was not afraid of anything, but when he saw his father, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Ma Qi could scare him to the point of peeing just by looking at him.
Ma Qi stood by the bed, took a closer look, and saw his son lying on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed, and the resentment in his heart could not be expressed for a while.
However, when he looked again, he found that his son's hands were shaking involuntarily, and his expression immediately changed: "You beast, what are you pretending to be? Get up!"
As soon as Ma Qi finished speaking, Xu Tong immediately got up from the bed and knelt on the bed with a look of horror on his face, not even daring to breathe.
"You, you, you!" Seeing his son's bully and fearful attitude, if it were his subordinates, he would have been dragged out and executed long ago.
But this was his own son. No matter how much he said he hated him, he still couldn't stop being cruel in his heart.
"Dad, this time it really has nothing to do with me...someone is trying to harm me."
Hearing these words, March almost couldn't control himself and slapped the bastard on the face.
"You kicked my own sister to death, how can I not fight you to the death?"
He is the officer-in-charge of the Forbidden Army. Although he does not care about the affairs of the capital, the people below have already explained the whole matter clearly to him.
Seeing that my son dared to quibble at this time, one can imagine the anger inside.
"Dad, you don't blame me, you really don't blame me... I just kicked her, and she hit herself on a rock and died. I also threw a bag of silver to her, which is considered compensation."
Xu Tong tried his best to argue, which naturally added fuel to Ma Qi's anger.
But after saying this, my task completion rate also increased rapidly, rising by 20 points.
Xu Tong only had fragments of information about Ma Hongwen in his memory. It would be difficult for someone else to have such a profound understanding of Ma Hongwen from such a small amount of information.
But this person happens to be Xu Tong. He can be said to have reached the point of proficiency in acting.
From just a few moments of information, I have already completed a psychological profile of Ma Hongwen in my mind.
Even though there were slight differences, judging from the fact that he had gained the task completion rate at this moment, Ma Qi did not notice anything strange about him at this time.
Since Ma Qi, the biological father, didn't see any problems, then there was basically no problem with his psychological profile.
"master!"
Before Ma Qi could continue to get angry, she heard Grandma's shout from behind.
As soon as the eldest grandma entered the room, she held Xu Tong in her arms with her stocky body and looked at Ma Qi with red eyes.
"Isn't it just that a girl died? It's not like we didn't pay compensation, but he dared to assassinate my son. Didn't you listen to what the doctor said? He was just a little bit away from death. Instead of avenging your son, you came to reprimand him.
Does he have a father like you?"
After saying that, the eldest grandma hugged Xu Tong and cried loudly: "Oh, why did I become blind when I married you, a loser? You married so many concubines, and I didn't even complain. It's just such a son."
, you hit and scold all day long, this life is too much..."
Well, what Ma Qi was most afraid of was this. He glared at Xu Tong fiercely, but saw that this boy was hiding behind her mother like a little chicken. He didn't even dare to show his head. He stamped his feet angrily: "
How much a loving mother loses her son, that's all, let's not mention this matter, let him go to the Shenji Camp to be a retinue in a few days, it can be regarded as an errand, and it will save him from doing nothing all day long."
