Chapter 416: Brother-in-law (1)

The summer days were long, and when Mama Zheng came on a mission, the prince and Fujin had just finished practicing.

"The slave maid asks for peace to the prince and Fujin, the prince and Fujin are auspicious!"

"Why did Sister Zheng come so early today? Have you had breakfast? Come on in. ”

"The slave has something to report to you both."

"What's the matter?"

Mama Zheng lowered her voice and said, "Last night, when it was too late, Mr. Ma Jiaming, the bookkeeper, turned into the courtyard where Mama Lin and Mama Jiang lived......

"Huh? Why is he so lawless? Did something happen? Fu Jin was immediately nervous.

"Listen to the slave. He just went to Mama Lin, and he probably didn't know which room Mama Lin lived in, so he ran to the one with the lights on to see if it was Mama Lin's house. Patronizing and watching people, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and kicked over a copper basin for washing his feet at the door, and when there was a loud sound, the people in the house heard it. You also know that the man who lives in the same courtyard as Mama Lin is a headcatcher, and his reaction is quite fast, and he jumped out of the house directly. Then the man who went to the room to seal Mama also came out, and Mama Lin also came out. In fact, they all recognized Ma Jiaming and understood what he was doing, but it was hard to say clearly, it was not good for Mama Lin's reputation, so he said that he was a thief, and he held down Ma Jiaming and beat him. If he understood the matter, he would apologize quickly, but Ma Jiaming didn't say anything in his mouth, saying that he came to Mama Lin and wanted to get along with her. There are still two big men in the courtyard, can you make him talk about it? He was beaten again. Now it's tied up and thrown into the hut next to Mama Lin's house that contains firewood. Mama Lin cried and looked for the slave maid, and asked the slave and maid to find the prince and Fujin to make her the master. She herself was embarrassed to say this kind of thing in front of the prince, and she didn't go to Master Yun, after all, Master Yun is a side room, and some things are not easy to decide. ”

"Okay, I see, this must be said. This damn Ma Jiaming has become a little worse, but the manager is holding it like a rare treasure. ”

The prince sank his face and said, "It's so shameless! This king must talk about this matter well. Is Mama Lin okay? Go back and let Yun'er persuade well. There has never been such a scum in our house. After breakfast, let Nafeng come over. ”

Nafeng has been in a bad mood these days, I thought that the prince was not a business material at all, who knows, only a little more than a month after coming back, he opened several businesses, and he did well, and even the emperor gave a plaque and publicly admitted that he was an imperial businessman. He has never figured out that the prince who has no business experience can do business? Mr. Chen is not that material. He is a gentleman of ethnology, full of Zi Shiyun, Tian Liang and Nalan are all stunned young people who turn their heels and catch bad people, Fu Jin Zushang is in business, but she is a woman, she can't get ahead, it's incredible. Na Feng once went to the department store opened by Nalan Guard's younger brother in civilian clothes, how could there be anything valuable? It's all needles and threads used by women, small things that come and go, and someone really buys him, that is, those sachets and purses are all bought as good things. And that jade dragon hot and cold drink, it's as lively as the Baza Market, and a stick made of ice sticks can be sold for money? What else is it called, and where does it look like a unicorn? Use Suo Qing, the imperial guard, as a coolie who takes off the blank! Na Feng's impression of Suo Qing is still very good, although his attitude towards him is not very good, it is his own majesty.

Just thinking about it, the chief eunuch of Yiran Building, Gonggong Qin, entered the house, "Then the chief manager, the prince instructed the old slave to invite you, be sure to go to the reception room of Yiran Building, and discuss important matters." ”

When Nafeng heard this, he was immediately refreshed, and said in his heart: "Lord Wang, you still can't do without my peak!" I have been in business for many years, and I have met people from all walks of life, and my connections are incomparable to you, and you can't do business without me! ”

"Ah, Father-in-law Qin, didn't you hear what the prince said about looking for me?"

"This, the old slave didn't listen to the prince, he only said that he invited you, so you will go for a trip, right?"

"Okay, okay, I'll wipe my face and go right away."

In the reception room of Yiran Building, the prince and Fujin sat side by side on the main seat. The feeling to Nafeng is that the prince is a little unhappy, but Fu Jin is forever smiling.

"The subordinates ask the prince and Fujin to say goodbye, the prince and Fujin are auspicious!"

"This king is not auspicious, he will be angry with your brother-in-law!"

Na Feng was frightened and quickly knelt down: "You said that Ma Jiaming was angry with you, what's wrong with him?" ”

"What's wrong with him? You don't know anything about it? ”

Na Feng looked dazed, as if he really didn't know anything.

"Lord Wang, please make it clear, what is this kid doing? Wait until you go back to your subordinates to teach him a good lesson! ”

"He can't go back, he climbed the wall and entered Mama Lin's yard in the middle of the night last night, and he wants to go to the indecent house! If I break the criminal law, can I still go home? ”

"What!" That peak's head seemed to have been struck by scorched thunder, and his eyes were motionless.

"When you recommended him to enter the palace, and this king repeatedly assured him that he would keep to himself and endure hardships and stand hard work, this king found out that he was the opposite of what you said in just a few years! Some time ago, someone saw him go to Bada Hutong, and some people accused him of delaying the issuance of monthly certificates. Now I want to spoil the women in the house! ”

"Lord Wang! Lord, have you heard someone say anything bad about him? ”

"What do you mean? Does this king mean that he has listened to and believed and wronged him? Then please come here and ask the people in Mama Lin's courtyard to testify! This king doesn't understand, he's in his thirties, and he doesn't know how to be good? Why do you still take care of him like a child? You didn't do that to your eldest son. ”

"Lord Wang, when his sister was dying, he entrusted him to his subordinates and let his subordinates take care of him."

"Have you taken care of it? This king asks you, is the place in the Eight Great Hutongs a gold cave? How many times can he go to the monthly silver in a month? But when he was seen going there seven or eight days in a row, where did his money come from? Did you give it? "The prince didn't say a word about the water hibiscus, he didn't want that peak to have a loophole.

"Hmph" the sweat of the peak came down. This is what he is most worried about, that is, the prince suspects that Ma Jiaming is greedy for the silver in the house. If you suspect Ma Jiaming, you will naturally doubt yourself. A few years ago, Fu Jin told Fu Jin about Ma Jiaming's false accounting, and Fu Jin reprimanded Ma Jiaming. If it weren't for his kowtowing and crying and repeatedly begging Fujin for forgiveness, Ma Jiaming would have been kicked out of the palace a long time ago.

"Lord Wang, please calm your anger, your subordinates have concluded that Ma Jiaming will not go to a place like Bada Hutong, someone must have seen it wrong. If Mama Lin is fine, you can spare Ma Jiaming. He must like Mama Lin, or you can marry Mama Lin and let Mama Lin marry him. ”

"Smack!" The prince slapped the table: "What are you thinking about that peak?" Do you think that brother-in-law of yours is a flower, and everyone loves him? He's annoying! You think he's a baby. Mama Lin didn't marry him even if she wanted to, so she died of this heart! This king doesn't want to talk nonsense, you ask Ma Jiaming to hand over the account book, the house doesn't need him, the three-legged toad is not easy to find, and the bookkeeper is everywhere! The house doesn't need this kind of stinky fish, so hurry up and send it away. ”

"Lord, lord! My subordinates beg you, just forgive him this time, he misses women too much, so ......"

"Which woman does he want, which woman should be spoiled by him at will? A woman is also a human being, and she also has dignity, and she is not lived for him! Let him hand over the account book, and when he finds out, hand it over to Mr. Bai, and he will pay as much as he owes the house, and then leave me immediately! ”

"Lord Wang! I beg you to see that my subordinates have followed you conscientiously for twenty years, and ...... before and after the saddle."

"Do you mean that the king has done you a bad treat? Say, where have I done you a wrong? How much I owe you to you, how much I give you, Ma Jiaming can't stay! Go down. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup, which meant that he was sending off the guests.

The peak had no choice but to climb up, take a few steps back, and turn and go out. He returned to his study as if he had no soul and began to think of a solution. After the prince came back, his temper and temperament changed. It must be Tian Liang and Master Yun who have been tempting him non-stop this year! I thought that Tian Liang was a stuffy gourd, but I didn't expect that there were so many scheming, not to mention the position of the head of my house, but also turned into the prince's eldest brother. I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people. This kid really has two more hits, and he fights with me! Ma Jiaming get out of here, just get out, is my peak lightly knocked down!

Tian Liang was wronged enough, he offended this great god for no reason, and he was really shot while lying down.

After thinking about it, Na Feng decided: Ma Jiaming must be let go before the prince checks the accounts. Let him destroy the ledger and disappear far away. Just find a small alley to hide for a few months, and it will be safe if no one pays attention, so it is said that Ma Jiaming ran away with the account book. Don't look at this prince who has no power, but he is the emperor's own brother! If you are greedy for ink, you will be killed, let alone the silver two of the prince of greedy ink! It's all that damn Mama Ye, if she hadn't trapped herself, there would be no need to be greedy for Lord Mo's silver, and there would be no worries now, the first thing now is to let Ma Jiaming go!

Ma Jiaming was tied to a small firewood room in Mama Lin's yard, and the wooden panes were not very strong, but his hands were tied, and he couldn't run without them. There was nothing in it that could help escape except firewood and a pot. If the sky is bright, even if you can go out of the house, you can't run out of the yard. Those guards and soldiers are wandering around the house, let's wait for dark, why didn't my brother-in-law move at all? It's all to blame Ye He's damn woman, who instigated herself to come to Mama Lin, but it turned out to be self-defeating and was caught by others, the errand must be lost, and the silver that was greedy for ink must be recovered, don't find the hidden silver and account books, if you find it, it is the evidence of the crime, and it is the crime of killing the head! Can Prince Greedy Mo run away without killing his silver? Why hasn't the damn brother-in-law come yet? What time is it? It's almost noon, right? At this time, everyone was resting, and few people moved, so they ran out through the corner gate of the back garden? Just thinking, "Smack! A ball of things was thrown in from the window, a small servant's clothes, a dagger, and a bag of silver, which happened to hit Ma Jiaming's body.

Needless to say, this was prepared for himself by my brother-in-law. So Ma Jiaming hooked the dagger with his foot, held it in his mouth, cut the rope tied to his body little by little, and then put the silver in his arms, and just put on the clothes of the little maid, he heard the door knock. He clutched the dagger tightly, thinking to himself that if you found me, I would kill you. It turned out that the dog in the yard was picking the door, probably hearing movement here. Ma Jiaming felt that now was the best time to escape, so he used a dagger to dig the panes one by one, and actually dug up two panes for him, and then ran away through the windows. Unfortunately, I was so nervous that the dagger in my hand also fell into the house. If you want to come back and pick it up, you are afraid that you will not have time to run away, or it is important to escape, the back side of Mama Lin's firewood house is close to the gate, so he raised his legs high, walked slowly, approached the gate, and then went out like a snake on the ground.

Touching the silver in his bosom, he rushed forward. This is the courtyard of the West Road, and the gate of the treasury leading to the garden is between the Suzhou Mansion on the East Road and the flower wall on the outside of the building on the Middle Road, and at the north end of the road, he has to bypass the Yiran Building and the Feiyun Building, both of which have twenty or thirty people in the residence of the master. Don't talk nonsense and go!

Turning the shadow wall, he immediately shrank back: the gate was open, but there were four pro-soldiers standing outside the door, two on each side. There are also two small servants and a eunuch in the gatehouse, and it is difficult to fly if you want to run. The walls of the palace are all one zhang high, and you can't dream of getting out without a ladder, so let's run from the back garden.

Yun'er didn't know what was going on in Mama Lin's yard at all, so she got up early and took her two fathers-in-law, Ling Juan, Yu'er Shui'er, Jixiang and Lehe, to the back garden with a basket to pick roses and jasmine. She wanted to smoke a little jasmine and rose tea with her own hands, and she smoked it once a few days ago, and the effect was good, so she gave it to her father, who liked it very much. After more than an hour, the six of them walked back. It was too hot, and a few of them rested while walking, mainly to take care of the fish and not dare to go fast. By the time I passed through the gate of the treasury and entered the east gate of Feiyun Tower, it was already close to noon. At that time, people who talked about feng shui were taboo to open the west gate. Therefore, Yun'er's Feiyun Tower does not have a west gate, the south gate is the main gate, and there is an east side gate. Several people entered the courtyard through the east side gate, and the little eunuch Jixiang walked last. As soon as I stepped over the threshold of the Moon Gate of the Flower Wall, I felt that someone had come from the direction of the Mansion Gate. Looking through the fan-shaped hollow window on the flower wall, there was a person walking backwards with his face backwards, very strange, so he whispered to Yun'er: "Master, a person from the south is walking backwards." ”

"Really? Let me see. Yun'er glanced ahead under the cover of the flower wall, which was also quite strange. The person who came from the direction of the front yard with a backward face still carrying a burden on his shoulders and looking around at the thief was not a thief, right?

"Father-in-law Jixiang, you quickly call the two soldiers and the little servant at the door, take the rope, and close the front door. We must catch this thief, or we will not be able to catch him when we enter the garden. ”

"Huh!" The mascot was very clever and hurriedly ran to the gate,

Yun'er continued to observe the person in the alley, this person's steps were very flustered, and the one on his shoulders was not a burden, nor a blanket, like a piece of clothing wrapped in something. Twelve sets of Suzhou houses are also a long way to go. There is also a passage to the courtyard in the middle. This person shuttled through the Suzhou house and the passage in the middle. Every time you arrive at the door of the Suzhou house, you have to stop, take a look, and then run. Yun'er understood that he was going to put the stolen things in the courtyard or Suzhou house, but now that the goods were loaded inside, and every door was locked, of course he couldn't get in, as if he didn't know that there were goods inside, so he looked at the courtyard one by one. As a result, his speed was much slower, and his steps became more and more flustered.

Two personal soldiers, two small servants, two eunuchs, and four women, Yun'er, Ling Juan, Yu'er and Shui'er, ten people, are all waiting within the flower wall, and they will definitely be able to catch this thief.

"Sister Yu'er, go back, don't touch you."

The fish quickly took a few steps back. She didn't want to leave, because she was worried about her master, and she was too bold to catch the thief.
