Chapter 44: Preventing Ghosts
The olive branch thrown by Zhu Li made Ma Sanbao a little speechless for a while, he didn't expect that this prince would throw an olive branch to himself in front of Shang Wei, and now, Zhu Di, who was still talking about himself before, suddenly decided to win himself over, which made Ma Sanbao feel a little flattered.
Ma Sanbao didn't want to agree to Zhu Di, he had long known that Zhu Li would not be the winner of the prince's struggle, and he had decided to assist Zhu Di, so naturally he would not casually replace his backer, in case he lost Zhu Di, and taking refuge in Zhu Li was not as beautiful as he said, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his soldiers?
"Your Highness, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, I don't think I'm suitable to join your command." Ma Sanbao didn't want to use honorifics for Zhu Li at all, he refused the olive branch thrown by Zhu Li, which made Zhu Li's face show a look of displeasure, for Zhu Li's displeasure, Ma Sanbao didn't care, and he didn't believe that Zhu Li could kill himself in front of Shang Wei.
Ma Sanbao's refusal made Shang Wei breathe a sigh of relief, if Ma Sanbao chose to take refuge in Zhu Li, Shang Wei would have to worry about His Royal Highness, after all, His Royal Highness's reputation in the officialdom is not very good, and there are almost few good people under his command, fortunately, Ma Sanbao himself is not a treacherous person, and he will identify Zhu Di after following Zhu Di, and he will not change his position with Zhu Di's random digging of the wall.
Zhu Li was rejected by Ma Sanbao, his eyes flashed with edge, he disdainfully nuns, he had already guessed that Ma Sanbao would definitely not accept his invitation, but he still felt sorry, he needed talents, so he had the idea of poaching Ma Sanbao.
"It's okay, I'll just ask at random, if you refuse, it shows that you are loyal and a good dog for Zhu Di." Zhu Li smiled and gave Ma Sanbao a cup of tea, however, Ma Sanbao did not accept Zhu Li's etiquette, he looked at Zhu Li a little coldly.
"I respect you as a prince, so I respect you, and you have repeatedly humiliated my personality, loyalty? I, Marven He, think that I follow Zhu Di's side not because of loyalty, but because of respect, according to you, everyone in the world is a dog under you, dare to ask who dares to follow you to the death? Who would dare to act for you? Ma Sanbao said that he was dissatisfied with Zhu Li's insult to him, and even almost splashed the tea in his hand on Zhu Li's face.
Zhu Li's smile froze, he wanted to use this to mock Ma Sanbao, but he was shot back, although the content of the counterattack was not painful, but he still felt very unhappy, after all, in his opinion, Ma Sanbao was just a courtier, and he was a prince, and the courtier insulted the prince and messed up the etiquette.
"Oh, a courtier insulting a prince is not the way of a monarch and a minister!" Zhu Li said coldly.
"Respect is the foundation of being a man, you don't even count as a person, you are still a prince?" When Ma Sanbao heard this, he hurriedly got up and walked outside the house, he didn't care what the task was, as long as Zhu Li was there, he felt that he couldn't stay, and the prince in front of him had nothing to talk about, and he didn't care about any etiquette and ministers, after all, he was a person living in a socialist society, and he didn't understand the distorted way of monarchs and ministers in Zhu Li's mouth at all.
Seeing Ma Sanbao leave Shang Wei's mansion, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Li's mouth, and after he got up and said hello to Shang Wei, he left Shang Wei's mansion.
..............................
"No wonder you can't deal with Ma Wenhe, he is much more ruthless than you think, even I am disrespectful, let alone you." Zhu Li returned to his mansion, and in the mansion, Hu Peng became the appearance of an attendant, no longer the appearance of the young master of the Hu family in the past, and even the clothes were no different from the attendants.
In order to survive in Zhu Li's family, Hu Pengju made great sacrifices and concessions, and when he heard the news of Ma Sanbao, Hu Pengju gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Don't get excited, I'll give you another piece of news, I heard that your father was going to be beheaded at the beginning of the year, and there are only three days left." Zhu Li glanced at Hu Pengju, who was gritting his teeth in anger, and gently took a sip of the tea in his hand, "So cold?" You rebrew it for me! ”
The tea was sprinkled on Hu Pengju's body, the cold tea dripped down the contours of his body, Hu Pengju's eyes were red, tears mixed with the tea slid down, Hu Pengju's heart was full of torment, the news he didn't want to hear was the news that his father Hu Weiyong asked for beheading, if it was usual, the news learned from Zhu Li's mouth was extremely accurate, obviously this news was very true.
"Don't think that I will save your father, my father will personally supervise the beheading, don't think about asking me for help to save people, I don't want my head to land with your father and son, you want to rob the law field and go by yourself!" Zhu Li looked at Hu Pengju's eyes as if he could eat people, and said coldly, dispelling Hu Pengju's thoughts, "What you have to do now is to think about how to deal with Ma Sanbao in the future, and after a while, he will also follow Zhu Di to Beiping, you can think about how to deal with them, it just so happens that he is investigating Shang Hui, you can make a stumbling block from it, but it depends on you, it is estimated that it will not work." ”
Zhu Li's words were like a knife stabbed in Hu Pengju's heart, Hu Pengju understood that although what Zhu Li said was mean, but every sentence was true, he really couldn't deal with Ma Sanbao, just by virtue of him, how could he use his relationship to do something to Ma Sanbao's task of investigating Shang Hui? The most unacceptable thing for him is the fact that his father Hu Weiyong is about to be beheaded, in Hu Pengju's heart, he has long hated Ma Sanbao, but unfortunately, his current identity is not as good as that of ordinary people, let alone dealing with Ma Sanbao.
"There are still three days to go, don't worry too early, the hint is given to you, how to do it depends on your own creation." Zhu Li took a sip of hot tea and stretched, "You should have acquaintances in the Criminal Department, go and try your luck yourself." ”
.....................................
Zhu Di's house.
Zhu Li was able to learn the news that Hu Weiyong was about to ask for beheading, Zhu Di naturally also understood, as a prince, Zhu Di was a know-it-all among the princes, and he also learned the information that Hu Weiyong was about to ask for beheading, and at the moment when Ma Sanbao just stepped into the mansion, he conveyed the news to Ma Sanbao, which made Ma Sanbao's little face show an expectant look.
As long as Hu Weiyong dies, his confidants will be solved a lot, Hu Weiyong previously allowed Hu Pengju to find an assassin to assassinate him, and now the fate is completely self-inflicted, he Ma Sanbao even can't wait to set off firecrackers on Hu Weiyong's law field to celebrate, he is also sure that Hu Weiyong's law field can not be robbed by anyone, after all, it is Zhu Yuanzhang who personally supervised the beheading, and Hu Weiyong's anti-party faction can only have the last three days.
"Your Highness, I have a bold idea, although no one dares to come to rob the prison, but Hu Weiyong still has three days to ask for beheading, the two of us can stay near the prison of the Criminal Department, if someone robs the prison and releases Hu Weiyong, we can easily kill Hu Weiyong and let them empty the bamboo basket." Ma Sanbao said in Zhu Di's ear, which aroused Zhu Di's interest for a while.
"Is this really possible?" Zhu Di was a little suspicious of Ma Sanbao's suspicions, it was the prison of the Criminal Department, unless there was an inner ghost, otherwise Hu Weiyong would not be able to escape, however, the inner ghost was not impossible, thinking of the possibility of an inner ghost, Zhu Di hurriedly patted his head, "How did I forget the inner ghost?" Maybe someone wants Hu Weiyong to live. ”
"Do you want to act? We have guns, even if the inner ghost martial arts are high, they are afraid of guns. Ma Sanbao said, "This time we don't enter the prison of the Criminal Department, but monitor from a distance, I remember that there is a tower nearby, we can go there to rest, hehe." ”
When it comes to the tower, Zhu Di is a little unhappy, without his warm mattress in the tower, the quality of food and drink will be reduced a lot, although he still likes to eat the cake invented by Ma Sanbao, but he will get tired of eating too much of this thing.
"Don't be too bitter, if someone really robs Hu Weiyong's prison, this is a great achievement, and the credit for this time is all yours." Ma Sanbao continued to instigate Zhu Di.
Zhu Di sighed, he finally compromised, he understood that he was too easy to be fooled by Ma Sanbao, but this can't be blamed for Ma Sanbao's superb flickering skills, only Zhu Di himself is too easy to fool, Zhu Di himself also knows that his character is being manipulated by Ma Sanbao, as far as Ma Sanbao's previous skills in interrogating Wang Guangyang are used, they must be used on their own bodies.
Zhu Di was helplessly pulled onto the thief ship, Nanjing in winter was quite cool, and the heavy snow covered the entire Nanjing city, just like the poem that Ma Sanbao had chanted before from the cross-era person, "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting." ”
Under the telescope, it is the snow-capped city of Nanjing, in order not to worry about eating and drinking, Zhu Di called the cook in his house, and also established a simple stove with the help of Ma Sanbao, the tower is a building left by the previous dynasty, because it is old and has not lived in it for several years, the tower is a little damp, with moss, the environment in the tower makes Zhu Di disgusted, he complained that Ma Sanbao chose a position that did not suit his wishes.
"Don't pick and choose, at the end of this year, there is no glazed tower of Dabao'en Temple, if you build it earlier, we won't have to be in this small broken tower!" Ma Sanbao complained helplessly, he originally just saw a tall tower near the Criminal Department, but he didn't expect this tower to be abandoned for so long and the environment was so poor.
"What do you say, I'm going to build towers? When is the thing, how do I not know? Zhu Di looked at Ma Sanbao suspiciously, Ma Sanbao reacted that he had leaked his mouth, in the Yongle years after Zhu Di became the emperor, he once built a high tower called the glazed tower of Dabao'en Temple, which is also a classic building in Nanjing, but unfortunately, there was no such building in Zhu Yuanzhang's era.
"It's nothing, maybe it will be built in the future, Mr. Zhuge told me in my dream." Ma Sanbao hurriedly prevaricated in the past, it was impossible for him to tell Zhu Di that he was a future person who had traveled from modern society to the Ming Dynasty and knew a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty, right?
