Chapter 143: Gentleness
Qi You was burning with anger in his heart, and Master Sun didn't dare to stir up trouble, so he could only pestle there in fear, waiting for Qi You to speak.
Qi You sat in his position and said quietly: "What, has Lord Sun figured out what happened?" ”
Master Sun trembled and said, "Return?? If you go back to the prince, the basic situation has been investigated, and you are waiting to bring that person back to confront them one by one. ”
Qi You said: "Okay, you are very fast, let's say, who is that person?" ”
Master Sun said: "If you go back to the prince, that person is the nephew of Prime Minister Le, Ma Yaozu?" ”
Qi You said: "What do you say? ”
Master Sun said: "This?? There are only a few fun horses in the capital, especially this Ma Yaozu is even more wonderful, because he loves to bet on horse racing, he has raised a lot of good horses, sometimes in order to amuse, he will feed the horse medicine to make the horse excited, this subdued horse has been inspected and taken five stones, and this kind of medicine is afraid that only the horse boy can afford it for a long time. ”
Qi You said: "Wushi San, hmph, isn't that a forbidden medicine of the imperial court, how can it still be circulated in this capital?" ”
Master Sun hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, it's just that this medicine is banned on the surface, but there are still some children of the family who will secretly buy it from outside, and the lower officials are now investigating this matter thoroughly." ”
Qi You snorted coldly: "Is it too late to start a thorough investigation now!" ”
Master Sun knew that this master must be at the beginning, of course he didn't dare to stand up, so he had to say: "Yes, yes, the lower officials are derelict in their duties, and the lower officials are derelict in their duties, but these are all characters with heads and faces, and the lower officials often touch a gray nose even if they have the heart to take care of it." ”
Qi You said: "Okay, this king won't have time to listen to you complain, tell this king what is going on with Ma Yaozu?" ”
Seeing that the prince was no longer holding his pigtails, Lord Sun said: "Back to the prince's words, this Ma Yaozu is the nephew of Prime Minister Le, to be precise, it should be the nephew of Mrs. Ma, because Ma Yaozu is the only male in Mrs. Ma's mother's family, and Mrs. Ma is also very fond of him, so she took him to Prime Minister Le's mansion for permanent residence." In this way, Ma Yaozu turned into a person who is more like a son-in-law than Prime Minister Le's son, because Mrs. Ma protects this Ma Yaozu, but the older he gets, the stricter his arrogant and cynical temperament becomes, and Xia Guan has talked to Prime Minister Le Cheng several times because of this horse race, but in the end, this matter is over. Xia Guan didn't dare to ask again, but he didn't expect him to be even more excessive today. ”
Master Sun made Ma Yaozu's origin clear in one breath.
Qi You said: "How can you be sure that this is the horse raised by Ma Yaozu?" ”
Master Sun said: "This Ma Yaozu is also quite arrogant, every horse he raises has his own mark, that is, the brand tied around the horse's neck, and the lower officials have also inspected these horses with the same brand. It's all from Ma Yaozu's hands. ”
Qi You said: "Hmph, it's just a gentleman's son, it's a shame to do such nonsense, you Shuntianfu is in charge of the affairs of the capital, how can you indulge such a villain like this!" ”
Master Sun was embarrassed: "This is not the inaction of the lower officials, it is ??? Be?? Hey, don't you know, Lord Wang, this Mrs. Ma is a good hand at Sapoo, and she has been pouted by Mrs. Ma several times when she went to the mansion to talk about things. This Mrs. Ma is the wife of Prime Minister Le, but?? It's the mother of your old mansion Concubine Le,?? Even if you borrow a few guts, you don't dare to offend openly! ”
Just when Master Sun was talking to Qi You, the Yanai and the guards who were sent to Yuefu to inspect Ma Yaozu were still hanging out of the door.
Many of them have been here a few times, knowing that there are many troubles in this Yuefu, everyone actually doesn't want to get involved in the file matter, but today I have offended Lord Yong, and I have to bring this person back today.
Yanai and the guards were polite when they looked at Prime Minister Le's face, and they had already rushed in to get people when they changed the side house, but at this time, Mrs. Ma didn't understand the situation and was taking Qiao there.
When Mrs. Ma heard it, it was because of her nephew Ma Yaozu's horse playing. are a little tired, it should be some things to lose money, and these yamen are really more serious.
The housekeeper replied, and Mrs. Ma said, "It's just a matter of the child playing with the horse." If something is destroyed, we will compensate according to the price, and go to the guards in the palace to say that Madame, my nephew is not in the house, and if there is anything, we will wait for the master to come back. ”
The housekeeper was a little worried: "Madam, there are a lot of people here outside, are you good to see each other?" Do we have to ask about the situation too? ”
Mrs. Ma has always said imperiously: "What else can happen, this Shuntianfu is just seeing that our prime minister has a good temper and is easy to bully, why don't you see the trouble of other people, there are more people racing horses with Yaozu, why do you find us Yaozu alone, he Sun Wu is too good at bullying people." ”
The housekeeper was a person who understood, and he knew that he was afraid that he would be fooled again, so he could only say: "Madam, the old slave will go back first, and then see what the servants say." ”
Mrs. Ma said impatiently: "Just let them go back, don't go back to me, I still have a bunch of things to do, go down." ”
The old housekeeper shook his head in his heart, what is this, and if he protects that bastard like this, I'm afraid that even the master will suffer.
Thinking about it, the old housekeeper still went out and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this young master hasn't returned to the house today, Madame??" The body is also uncomfortable, this matter has already been reported, and when the young master comes back, the old man will tell him, this ??? Please go back first. ”
When the Yanai and the guards on the side heard this, they also became angry.
A guard who took the lead said: "Why is your young master busy, our brother can also have a life, no matter what today, there is an explanation, your young master is hurting people, this is a big crime, we are looking at Prime Minister Le's face to ask for words, you don't want to be too aggressive!" ”
The old housekeeper was also aggrieved: "Hey, gentlemen, it's not that the old man doesn't help, it's this lady who ??? Well, then, come with me into the house, and tell my wife about it to my face! ”
The old housekeeper had no choice, and he didn't want to be caught in the middle, so he had to let the yaunai and the guards enter the house.
At this time, Ma Yaozu had actually returned to Yuefu a long time ago, and today he made a mistake to amplify the measurement, and the dozen or so horses in the entire horse shed rushed out as if they were crazy.
This can't be stopped, and he can only let Crazy Horse run rampant on the main street of the capital, but he is used to it, and there is nothing big anyway, even if something happens, his aunt will solve it, so he packed up and went home like a nobody.
It's a pity that he never thought that he would offend the Lord who shouldn't be offended this time.
He went back to the house and went back to his yard to fight crickets as usual, and he didn't know anything about this door.
The housekeeper deliberately let the Yanai and the guards into the mansion, but Ma was very angry and asked sharply: "Why, dare to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion so openly, is there any royal law in your eyes!" ”
The guards on the side smiled and said, "We are here to receive the royal law, Mrs. Ma." ”
Ma Shi asked in a shrill voice: "Okay, then why do you have such a large group of people coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
The guard still remembered the number of courtesies: "Ao, Mrs. Ma, that's the case, earlier today, there was a group of crazy horses on the main road of the capital that injured people, and we were ordered by the Shuntian Mansion Yin to take Ma Yaozu and Young Master Ma back to the yamen for questioning." ”
Mrs. Ma was disdainful and polite on her face: "Hmph, all the officials are here to find Yaozu, I really don't know if the child has come back, besides, the child has always been well-behaved and timid, although it is fun to be a horse, but this horse must not dare to hurt people, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between Lord Sun?" ”
The leading guard said: "Mrs. Ma, this has been determined, the horse that was cut down on the street has the mark of your cousin's young master Ma Yaozu, this can't be a misunderstanding, if it weren't for this, Lord Sun wouldn't have sent me and others here." ”
Mrs. Ma looked at the other party's conclusive appearance, and thought in her heart that it would not be a real accident, so she smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, a horse card has to be said to be my nephew's doing, is it far-fetched, so let's do it, the child has not come back today, and when he comes back, I will personally ask, if this is the case, I will take the child to Shuntian Mansion in person, what do you think?" ”
The leading guard saw that Mrs. Ma began to play Tai Chi and said politely: "How dare you drive your dignified Mrs. Prime Minister, I also received the report and knew that your young master had returned to the mansion before coming, and asked Madame to send someone to invite your young master out, you are in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we don't want to make too much trouble." ”
Mrs. Ma was a little distraught, why did she have to see Yaozu for this matter, so she turned around and quietly asked the housekeeper: "Young Master Cousin is back?" ”
The housekeeper stared at the eyes on both sides and lowered his head and said, "Mrs. Hui's words said that someone saw the young master return to the house." ”
Mrs. Ma glared at the housekeeper fiercely.
Since the housekeeper said so, she couldn't refuse clearly, so she had to order: "Come on, go and see if the young master has returned to the house, if so, invite him to come over, saying that someone from the Shuntian Mansion is asking him to reply." ”
When the little guy saw this formation, he immediately nodded and rushed out, and after a while, he ran out of breath to Ma Yaozu's courtyard in Yuefu.
Not to mention that this Yuefu really loves Ma Yaozu, he seems to have his own independent yard like the young master, and he is teasing the crickets in the courtyard.
The little guy shouted as he ran in: "Young Master Cousin, Young Master Cousin, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, someone is coming from Shuntian Mansion!" ”
Ma Yaozu was making a lot of fun, and this little guy shouted and really scared his baby-like cricket, and the worm retracted back into the jar and stopped fighting.
Ma Yaozu turned around in his temper and gave the little guy a mouthful and said, "Bastard, look at you scaring your baby." ”
The little guy was also wronged when he was knocked to the ground, but he still had to say what Madame commanded, so he resignedly said: "Young Master Cousin, forgive the sin, it is someone from the Shuntian Mansion, saying that it is related to your horse, and Madame asked the slave to invite you over." ”
As soon as he mentioned the horse, Ma Yaozu's face changed slightly, and after a trace of worry, he said impatiently: "It's just a few crazy horses, what can happen, this Lord Sun of Shuntianfu is really idle." ”
Hearing this come out of the mouth of a son-in-law like Ma Yaozu, you know how arrogant and domineering he is on weekdays, and there is no one in his eyes, although Lord Sun is a little Vino, but he is a Beijing official of the third grade, you are a nameless young master of a family who dares to say this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate.
