Summary of the previous chapter: Without the temporary support of the source, the physical time travel is very unstable. I accidentally traveled to room No. 1 of an inn and met a man also named Ma Xiaoquan, but...
..The other party seems to have been beaten to death...
The man leaned forward and took a closer look at the pair of miserable wild mandarin ducks: The woman was okay, there seemed to be no scars on her face and body, but there was an obvious strangulation mark on her neck. Judging from the marks, the woman was raped.
It was strangled; the man was a bit miserable, with more bruises and bloodstains on his face, and a mark on his neck, but... the mark did not turn red like the woman, but turned purple.
From this point of view, the man should have been strangled after death.
"Well, the man should have been beaten to death. Later, they made a false impression and strangled him on the neck... huh? His appearance... kao, isn't it...
..." The man looked at the dead man carefully, then thought about his own appearance, and couldn't help but said in surprise, "Why do you look so similar to me? No, right..."
The man touched his face: "Damn it, is it really like the one in the legend?"
While he was hesitating, a submissive voice suddenly came from behind the man: "Young... Young Master... you... you... what are you doing?"
The man turned around and saw a young man wearing coarse clothes standing behind him.
"Huh? Who are you?"
The young man was very surprised and looked at the man with wide eyes: "Master...I...I'm a bastard...Why don't you recognize me?"
"Ah? Tudan? This..." The man turned his head and looked at the two dead people behind him. His heart shuddered and he grabbed Tudan.
"There was such a big movement just now, someone should be coming. Hurry, get out of here first..."
"Oh, oh, oh"
The man grabbed Tudan's clothes and the two of them slipped down the side stairs. At this moment, officers and soldiers rushed in from the front door.
"Boss, someone reported to the police that someone died in your room No. 1?"
"Hey, sir, where can I find it?"
"Stop talking nonsense. It's off-season and there's not much business in your inn recently. This kind of death is most likely to happen. Lead the way."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I'll take some officials with me!"
The innkeeper led a group of officers and soldiers to the door of Tianzi No. 1 room and took a look. They were dumbfounded.
It's the off-season now, and the two waiters happened to be on leave, so the boss is the only one guarding the store. He went out to use the toilet just now because of an emergency. He has no idea what happened in the hotel.
An officer and soldier pointed to the shoe prints on a piece of wood and asked the innkeeper: "Huh? What the hell is going on? Why was the door kicked in?"
The innkeeper was also frightened. Why did he go to the toilet in broad daylight and someone came to make trouble? This is Beijing, and this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
"I...I don't know either..."
"Fuck your mother's bitch," several officers and soldiers cursed as they entered the room, and then they saw the naked men and women in the room who had been dead for a while.
An officer and soldier stepped forward, pinched the female corpse's exposed chest with his hands, and then covered the female corpse with a cloth.
"Eh? Isn't this the fourth young master of the Ma family?"
As soon as the officer and soldier opened his mouth, the remaining officers and soldiers were startled.
"Isn't it possible, Fourth Young Master? That dandy from the Ma family?"
"Yes, yes, look, look"
The officers and soldiers came over and looked at the male corpse's face carefully for a while.
"I'm a kid, isn't it? He's really that dandy. What should I do? The ball is dead."
The leading officer and soldier frowned, grabbed the innkeeper in front of him, and asked, "Huh? Do you know that a life has happened to you?"
The owner of this inn is also a novice. If his relatives were not in trouble, he would not come to take care of this inn. When the officers and soldiers in front of him asked such a question, the inn owner was so frightened that he could not say a word.
A soldier came over and whispered to the leading officer: "Boss, if this matter can be suppressed, how about we knock some money off?"
"Huh? Hold it down? The person who is dead now is the dude from the Ma family. Although this guy is very unpopular in Beijing, he is still from the Ma family after all... Damn it, we
If we do this privately, and if the Ma family finds out, not only our jobs, but also our lives will probably be in danger."
"Boss, what should we do?"
The leading officer and soldier glared at the dumbfounded innkeeper and grinned: "There must be an explanation for everything. Since people died here, they have to find someone to take the blame."
Several officers and soldiers nodded their heads, said yes several times, and then started fighting back and forth to pick up the innkeeper.
"Master, you...you think it's me? It's not me. It's really not me. I really don't know anything?"
The leading officer and soldier sighed and patted the innkeeper's face: "Hey, I know it's not you because I looked at you when you were going to the toilet, but this matter must be settled, right?"
, do you know who the dead man is?"
The innkeeper shook his head.
"You are such a stick. This is the fourth young master of the Ma family, Ma Xiaoquan, have you heard of it?"
"Fourth...Fourth Young Master...is the dandy...the dandy who robbed women...and made trouble everywhere..."
Before the innkeeper finished speaking, an officer and soldier laughed and said: "Oh, you said you didn't know that Ma Xiaoquan is a stubborn leader in Beijing. Okay, come back to the Yamen with us..."
"Master, I was wronged, really wronged... Master, I have money, how much do you want, just let me go..."
The leading officer and soldier shook his head: "Boss, it's normal for me to charge you some money and settle this matter for you. But this Ma Xiaoquan is not a good person, and his Ma family is not a good one either.
I'm sorry for causing this to you..."
"Uuuu...I'm wronged, wronged..."
...
yamen.
The officers and soldiers lifted the owner and threw him in front of the government official, and said respectfully: "Sir, the owner of this inn killed two people."
"Huh?" A fat man with a big head and big ears raised his head, twitched his ears and asked, "Is he the murderer who was reported as a murderer just now?"
Several officers and soldiers looked at each other and instantly reached a tacit understanding: "Yes, sir"
"Master Liang, I was wronged. I went to the toilet earlier and didn't know anything."
The fat man waved his hand and ignored the innkeeper: "Who is the dead person?"
"To tell you what my lord, a man and a woman died. They seemed to be killed just like that. The woman didn't look carefully. The man... the man..."
"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong with the man?" The fat man picked up the teacup and stroked the lid and asked.
The leading officers and soldiers came forward and whispered: "Sir, the man who died was the fourth young master of the Ma family, Ma Xiaoquan."
With a "crack" sound, the teacup in the fat man's hand fell to the ground.
"Who... who?"
"Master Ma Xiaoquan"
The fat man pursed his lips, took out a handkerchief from his arms with shaking hands, and wiped his fat head hard several times.
"Really...really...Ma Xiaoquan?"
"My lord, it is absolutely true, everyone in Beijing knows Ma Xiaoquan's appearance..."
The fat man took a few breaths, put his right hand on his temple and rubbed it a few times. He suddenly stood up and circled around the table several times. As he circled, he muttered to himself: "This is a big deal.
There's a big fuss...what should I do, what should I do?"
After going around for several times, the fat man couldn't think of a good solution.
"The corpse...where is the corpse now?"
"Speak to me, it's in the backyard."
"Quick, put on all your clothes and pants. Oh no, wipe yourself clean first. Go quickly."
"yes"
Seeing the officers and soldiers running out the door in a panic, the fat man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir," the master who had been silent until now suddenly spoke, "Sir, I think this matter needs to be reported to the Ma family immediately."
The fat man thought for a while and nodded helplessly: "Hey, that's all we can do. Wait until they kill him... Oh no, Master Ma Si has wiped and tidied himself up. I'll go there myself."
Let’s go to Ma’s house…”
...
Ma's house, outside the side door.
"Master, hurry up, hurry up...go in through this side door, you are not allowed to come out today..."
"Alas, I...I am not your young master, why did you force me to come here?"
"Master...why do you say this? It was Master who asked Tudan to take you out of this side door this morning. Master said he was going to have a tryst with Xiao Cuihua..."
"What little green flowers, what kind of mess, where can I find them?"
"Master, what's wrong with you? Has the old woman grounded you? Are you showing off your brain?"
The man frowned, smacked his lips and said, "What are you talking about? I told you, I'm not your young master anymore, you're just showing off your head."
When the two of them were pulling each other, a roar suddenly sounded from behind them.
"I saw that your brain was just showing off to the beast, so I grounded you, and you sneaked out again?"
The one who turned around first was Tudan.
Tudan looked at it and knelt down with a thud: "Old... old lady..."
"Tudan, were you the one who let this beast out?"
"Old...old lady, I...I..."
"Tudan, you are so brave."
The man turned his head and saw Tudan kneeling on the ground shivering. He looked across with some curiosity and saw an old woman glaring at him fiercely. Next to the old woman, there was a young and beautiful woman standing.
woman.
This woman has double eyelids, big eyes, fair skin, and slender fingers, which makes people fall in love with her at first sight.
The man's gaze was very unscrupulous, making the woman feel uncomfortable all over.
"Beast, what are you looking at?" The old woman suddenly yelled, and the crutch in her hand hit the ground hard.
The man looked confused, lowered his body and asked the idiot: "Hey, who is that old woman?"
Tudan looked at the man in horror, his mouth shaking constantly: "Young... Young Master... She, she, she, she... is the old, old, old lady...
"Okay, okay, you talked about eighteen breasts in a row. How can I have so many grannies?" The man straightened up impatiently. Just as he was about to raise his head, there was a "dong" sound on his forehead and he was struck by a cane.
.
The stick came so suddenly that the man didn't notice it. He only heard a "dong" sound and the stick hit the man on the head accurately.
"Ouch, I'm a kid." The man covered his head and was about to dodge when the cane hit him again.
"Little beast, little brat, my Ma family's reputation has been ruined by you, little beast..."
The old woman didn't know where she got her strength. The harder the man hid, the more accurate she would hit him.
If you want to dodge hard, it is easy for a man to dodge the old woman's cane, but if the entity has traveled through time and is still unclear about the current situation, it is best not to expose it too much.
"Stop!" the man shouted, covering his head and taking several steps back.
The old woman seemed unable to fight anymore. She stopped and stared at the man, panting.
"Grandma" the young woman stepped forward, glared at the man fiercely, and patted the old woman's back gently to comfort her.
"You unfilial little brat, come here."
The man pointed at himself: "Are you talking about me?"
"Nonsense, who are you?"
The man's heart trembled, and he thought: Damn it, could it be that this family regards me as their dead fourth young master?
"I...I don't...Oh, hey...you..." Before the man could finish his words, the young woman stepped forward and grabbed him.
own ears.
The woman seemed to enjoy the pleasure of tugging on people's ears, and she kept twisting them while tugging at them.
The man grimaced in pain and thought to himself, if you weren't a beauty, I would have slapped you outside the south gate.
"Grandma, I caught him here for you," the woman said proudly to the old woman.
"Okay, darling, bring him in," the old woman said, leaning on a cane and entering the yard from the side door with the help of Tudan.
Just as the man was about to speak, the woman suddenly said: "Ma Xiaoquan, please be honest with me. I am your sister-in-law. If you are not honest, I will tell your elder brother about you."
