Everything was fine just now, so why... I just fell out of favor.
Qiu Wanshan was anxious: "Let him go, let him go now, quickly!"
Ma Rui couldn't laugh or cry: "What happened to Brother Qiu, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry? Is it possible that..."
Qiu Wanshan's eyes turned red: "Stop talking nonsense, let him go quickly!"
Ma Rui was not happy anymore.
Although he is the number one scapegoat in the Dachang Dynasty and has no reputation, his rank is there after all. Qiu Wanshan is the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he holds real power, he is not afraid of anything, it is just that he does not want to
Just offended.
After being scolded by Qiu Wanshan with "fuck", he was still angry after all.
"Master Qiu." Ma Rui said coldly with a stern face: "Although I don't know why you wanted to protect Chu Qing, this kid did beat someone, and he didn't refute him. He beat someone and was taken to jail. He should be
I have some intention, not to mention, Li Lin has told me that I..."
"You are confused, Chu Qing is a guard..."
Halfway through, Qiu Wanshan stopped talking in time.
If he directly reported Wei Changfeng's name, Ma Rui would definitely let him go. But the problem was that he was the one who came. If the Li family knew about it, they would most likely hold a grudge against him.
Thinking of this, Qiu Wanshan smiled and cupped his hands: "It's because I'm being rude and I'm leaving."
After finishing his words, Qiu Wanshan turned around and walked away very fast, leaving Ma Rui with a confused face, just like Xing Tian holding Head and Shoulders, a little confused for a moment.
Sitting back confused, Ma Rui muttered a little.
This Qiu Wanshan is not a good bird.
I'm not giving you much face today, but in the future...will this bastard take advantage of his position to help his Jingzhao Mansion?
For a moment, Ma Rui regretted it.
I should have asked more questions just now. It was obvious that Qiu Wanshan seemed to care about Chu Qing.
While worrying about gains and losses, the civil servant ran in again.
"Your Excellency, Master Tao Yaitao, the Prince's Young Master, and Master Tao Shaozhang, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, would like to see you."
Ma Rui sat up smartly: "Master Tao is here too?!"
The literary official smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."
Maruidun felt bad all over.
In fact, he knew very well about the Tao family.
Tao Shaozhang wanted to investigate Li Lin, but Tao Yao only wanted to teach the prince and did not want the Tao family to be involved in such nonsense.
So Ma Rui really wasn't that afraid of Tao Shaozhang. The leader of the Tao family was Tao Yao. Tao Yao was close to the emperor, and Tao Shaozhang was just a fool.
Moreover, Tao Shaozhang was not in trouble just now. He just arrested Chu Qing, but who knew that even the prince's young master was here.
"Please hurry up, please, no, no, no, I will personally greet you."
Ma Rui suddenly panicked, quickly adjusted his official robe, and walked out quickly.
When they arrived, outside the Yamen, they saw the Tao family and his son. Ma Rui quickened his pace again and trotted all the way.
"Your Majesty, Ma Rui, Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, pays homage to Master Tao."
There is no lack of proper etiquette.
You must know that Tao Yao was not only the prince's junior master, but also close to the emperor. Not only was he close to the emperor, he was also the eldest brother-level figure among the scholars in the capital.
It can be said that no one in the officialdom is willing to offend Tao Yao, because this old man can ruin a scholar's reputation with just one word, and everyone in the officialdom is a scholar.
Of course, except for a certain eighth-level Prime Minister who went through the back door.
Tao Yao said calmly: "Master Ma, there is no need to be polite, I am here to protect myself."
Ma Rui smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chu?"
"good."
Ma Rui's mouth felt secretly bitter.
Who would have thought that the Prince's Young Master would actually come in person.
"Master Potter, please come into the hall and have a cup of tea to rest."
"That's fine."
The three of them entered the main hall. Ma Rui did not dare to take the lead and made tea himself.
Tao Shaozhang didn't say a word, just a faint smile on his face.
Although Tao Yao was reluctant in every way, he still said against his will: "This little boaster... This Mr. Chu, and I have been friends for many years. On weekdays, we exchange poems and songs, and they are of good character.
It is absolutely impossible to murder others, I want to bail Chu Qing out, how about Sir Ma betraying me to show my favor."
Ma Rui was shocked: "Young Master Chu actually has been friends with Master Tao for many years, and they still exchange poems and songs?"
"That's true."
"Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that this Mr. Chu would have such literary talent."
Tao Yao took a sip of tea and was embarrassed to say anything.
Ma Rui really started to waver this time.
The Li family is certainly terrible, but the problem is that Tao Yao has come forward in person, so it is impossible not to give him this face.
Seeing Ma Rui's hesitation, Tao Yao smiled and said: "Master Ma, please rest assured that this son Chu Qing has a pure character and is a rare good young man. You can tell by looking at his appearance that he is just a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken."
, it's very peaceful, not to mention scary, even quarrelsome..."
Before he finished speaking, the clerk ran in like crazy.
"My lord, my lord is sorry, the prison has been robbed."
Ma Rui suddenly stood up: "What?"
"That Chu Qing, that man named Chu Qing, arrested four police officers and sealed the prison. He also captured twenty-three criminals!"
Tao Yao's smile still stayed on his face.
Tao Shaozhang was stunned.
Ma Rui looked like he had seen a ghost in the day: "What nonsense? How can a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken rob a prison?!"
"Yes, that's true. The prison door is locked from the inside, and the keys are all in his hand. He said he would kill the guards who dared to come near. He also spread hay in the prison and lit it on anyone who entered.
Prison!"
"Asshole!"
Ma Rui lost his sense of caution and was about to run out when Tao Shaozhang shouted: "I'll go too."
"No, absolutely not possible. I have never heard of such thugs. Lord Tao cannot go, and neither can Master Tao."
Just as Tao Shaozhang was about to speak again, Tao Yao quickly grabbed his eldest son.
Lao Tao was also shocked.
In his old age, it was the first time in his life that he had seen a prisoner being "hijacked" by a prisoner.
…………
Chu Qing stood behind the prison door and took out his ears.
He doesn't have a good impression of the Ministry of Industry. Except for his father, they are all a bunch of losers who can't do anything well and have nothing to eat.
But now he has changed his views on the Ministry of Works. Not to mention, the prison in Jingzhao Mansion is built, hey, it is called a strong one.
Once the big chain is wrapped around it and the iron lock is hung inside, even the oxen can't pull it away.
Of the four government officials, he killed one and arrested three, all of whom were tied tightly.
In addition to more than twenty prisoners, the hostages are all locked up in the cells.
Chu Qing also thought about it.
Now that things have come to a point, screw it, let's go ahead and do it. It's not enough to just keep trying. You have to be rash at the critical moment. If you weren't rash, you would have died a long time ago.
In the long and narrow corridor outside the prison, the yamenmen were holding water and fire sticks, cursing as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Stop making any fucking noise. If you keep making any more noise, I will kill the hostages."
The yamen servants fell silent, and then they all called out, "Master, Ma Rui, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, has arrived."
When he arrived outside the prison, Ma Rui's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
Needless to say, this matter must be heard by Da Tian. If the Tao family and the Li family didn't mention it in advance, the Jingzhao Mansion would be humiliated and thrown into the grandma's house. I don't know how it will be punished by the emperor.
"You are so brave."
Arriving outside the prison, Ma Rui cursed loudly: "I want to confiscate my family and exterminate my clan."
"Hey." Chu Qing shrugged: "Isn't this my dear Ma Rui?"
Looking at Ma Rui, Chu Qing's eyes gradually turned cold.
A1 and A2 are government servants. If they dare to frame him so arrogantly, it is likely that the governor of Jingzhao Mansion has also been bribed by the Li family.
Actually, that's not the case. Ma Rui doesn't want to be meddlesome because he doesn't want to be meddlesome, but there is really no situation where he has taken refuge in anyone or been bribed by anyone. He is even a good official who is willing to make decisions for the people. Of course,
If those who bully the common people are also common people, he will be willing to speak out for justice.
"Open the cell and I will intercede for you."
"Please give me a leg, grandma, I will be chopped into pieces as soon as I open the door!"
Ma Rui was extremely anxious. The longer he delayed, the more unlucky he would be. He quickly said: "Master Chu, why are you doing this? Just tell me if you have any grievances."
"I'm telling you, you're bullshit!"
"you…"
"What are you, don't think I don't know that you and the Li family are in the same group."
"Okay, okay." Ma Rui took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "If you don't want to tell me, how about telling the prince's young master Tao, Mr. Tao is up there."
Chu Qing was slightly startled: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Chu Qing looked suspicious and asked, "Master Tao, what did you say?"
"How else can I say it? You are a young and handsome man. You have been friends with him for many years. You discuss literary talents with him all day long, and you treat him like your own son."
Chu Qing fell silent and narrowed his eyes.
After a while, Chu Qing took out the bamboo slips from his arms and spread them out.
"This is a confession written by the jailer himself, to frame me. Look."
It was all in the dark, Ma Rui couldn't see anything.
But when I heard this, my heart skipped a beat.
Yes, after all, Chu Qing is the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he also serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs. There is no need to kidnap the jailer and cause such a big case.
"Are you serious about this? The jailer framed you?"
"Why are you lying to me? Come and see."
Chu Qing walked to the iron gate and pasted the bamboo slips.
Ma Rui's expression changed drastically and he quickly moved his head over.
"You should hold it closer. If you have any grievance, I will seek justice for you."
This is the truth. Although Ma Rui is naughty, he will never allow his subordinates to produce such villains.
"If you stick your head in, it will be over. If I stick my hand out, you will snatch the bamboo slips away again."
"Too."
Ma Ruihe looked like he was about to come out of his shell, then he stretched his head over, and just when he was about to take a closer look, then...a huge fist directly hit his eye socket.
Chu Qing succeeded in the attack and quickly retreated, cursing: "I went to the grave to burn newspapers to fool your father, the dog official, and I also want to fool me. It would be great if that old bastard Tao Yao didn't scold me. We have been friends for many years, and we are discussing literary talents. We are still a fool."
Treat me like my own son, you treat me like an idiot!"
Ma Rui covered his eyes and yelled: "Break open the door for me!"
"You are so exhausted, uncle!"
Ma Rui was angry and added: "Break the door open, don't hurt his life!"
"He-pei." Chu Qing looked disdainful: "Why don't you just pretend to be like me!"
