The leader of the people who came was Wang San.

The officers and soldiers of Luoyang City were frightened for a while when they saw that the people who came were very big, and no one dared to stop them, so they let them enter the courtyard.

Wang San came straight to Ma Wengui, showed him the waist card of the Qi Palace, and asked, "You are Lord Sima Ma of Luoyang?" ”

Ma Wengui's heart jumped suddenly, he felt very bad, he thought that His Royal Highness King Qi had already left the Luoyang realm, and these guards of the Qi Palace's Mansion suddenly appeared, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Qi did not leave here at all. This shows that Li You did this on purpose, and the purpose was to hide it from his own people. Then, he is also coming for his own people.

He said, "Where is His Royal Highness King Qi?" ”

Wang San said: "The prince will be here in a while." He knew that if the prince didn't appear, he wouldn't be able to take Huang Xiugu away. He had already sent someone to report to Li You.

Wang San said: "Master Ma, this case of pretending to be the prince of Qi will be handled by the prince of Qi himself, you all should avoid it." ”

"Well, I'm afraid that's not right, right? This case took place in Luoyang, which is within the jurisdiction of the lowly office. Although His Royal Highness King Qi is in a high position, he has no right to interfere in local government affairs, and the case involves His Royal Highness King Qi himself, so he should recuse himself. Ma Wengui must not let Xiugu fall into the hands of Li You, the king of Qi, so he said eloquently.

Wang San said: "The prince's handling of the case is to act on orders. ”

"Where is the Divine Decree?" Ma Wengui asked.

"The prince will be here soon. You'll see the decree in a moment. Wang San said.

……

The two were arguing here, and who didn't dare to act rashly.

Huang Laoba stood here and didn't dare to leave. He very much hoped that Huang Xiugu could leave quickly, but he also knew that since the government was going to come to get people, it must have surrounded the courtyard all around, and it was impossible to leave.

He now deeply regrets it, and feels that when Aunt Xiu just came back that day, he should have let her leave immediately, and he shouldn't have a fluke mentality. It's a pity that it's too late to regret it.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, was also taken aback when he received the report. He scolded: "Li You, this little rabbit cub, actually gave me such a hand. ”

Then, he scolded: "Ma Wengui is a fool. Don't take advantage of Li You's not yet arrived, hurry up and take people. What did you tell me to do? ”

He's right. In fact, Ma Wengui can ignore Wang San and the others, and directly control Xiugu in his hands first. Wang San didn't have many people in his hands, so he couldn't stop him. Once Huang Xiugu is in her own hands, things will be much easier.

If the eldest grandson Shunde was present and forcibly took people, he showed that he had something to do with this matter, which seemed a little too deliberate.

It was inconvenient for him to come forward, and scolded the person who came to report the news: "You hurry up and tell Ma Wengui that bastard, what kind of person does he care about the Qi Palace, hurry up and take down that Huang Xiugu for me." ”

"Yes." The comers hurriedly flew away.

Li You received the report, and he secretly complained in his heart. He sneaked to Luoyang just to quietly find Xiugu, and then control the tax supervisor Chen Jun in his hands and get evidence of corruption in the Luoyang government.

It's good now, he exposed himself to the light all of a sudden, and it was clear that he was investigating the corruption case of the Luoyang government. This is the territory of the eldest grandson Shunde, once the eldest grandson Shunde turns his face, his own people will be in danger of life.

However, now he couldn't think about it anymore, so he immediately took Xue Rengui and the others to Pegasus and went straight to Sanlizhuang Wharf.

Sanlizhuang Wharf, Caokou Compound.

Huang Xiugu hid in the back house, and also regretted not listening to her father, if she had left quickly, she would not have been surrounded in the yard like now. She wanted to escape from the back of the courtyard, but Lu Xiaoqi looked out from the courtyard wall behind her and found that this place had long been surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Huang Xiugu said: "I'm going out to turn myself in, just say that I did this alone, don't bother Daddy and Caokou's people." So saying, he walked out.

Lu Xiaoqi hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Aunt Xiu, you can't go out." You've been caught by them, and the people in Caokou can't get out of it. Now there are two groups of people coming outside, so let's take a look first. ”

Ma Wengui and Wang San and others were in a stalemate, waiting for news from the eldest grandson Shunde.

Finally, the man who had gone to report the news returned, jumped off his horse, and whispered a few words in Ma Wengui's ear.

Ma Wengui shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers under him: "Come on, Huang Xiugu is suspected of kidnapping court officials, rush in to arrest criminals, and those who dare to stop will be killed." ”

"Yes." The officers and men rushed in.

Wang San and the others raised their weapons to block the way of the officers and soldiers, and the two sides were about to start.

At this moment, Li You arrived.

Xue Rengui shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived!" At this time, Xue Rengui and the others had already changed into official uniforms and came in with Li You in their arms.

No matter how bold Ma Wengui is, he doesn't dare to do it again at this time. Seeing Li You coming in, he had no choice but to step forward to greet him. He said: "Minister Luoyang Sima Ma Wengui, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”

Li You said very kindly: "Master Ma, it's hard work. ”

Ma Wengui didn't know what to say, he thought for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the minister is here to catch the kidnappers who kidnapped the officials of the imperial court, and please let the minister perform official duties." ”

Wang San said: "Lord Wang, the kidnapper pretending to be you and the princess is in this courtyard, and the little one is about to arrest this person. ”

Both Ma Wengui and Wang San only said the part of the case that was related to them, indicating that they should be responsible for this matter.

Li You said: "Master Ma, this Huang Xiugu dares to pretend to be the king, and the king wants to take her away for punishment." ”

Ma Wengui said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, this case happened in Luoyang, which is under the jurisdiction of the minister, and it should be handled by the minister. Besides, Huang Xiugu pretended to be His Royal Highness King Qi, and His Royal Highness was also one of the parties to this case, so he should be recused.

Therefore, I ask Your Highness to let the ministers perform their official duties. ”

Li You said: "Master Ma is reasonable. But the king is doing what he is told. ”

Ma Wengui said: "Your Highness, please also show the holy decree. "This case is a sudden case, this place is far away from Chang'an, and he doesn't believe that Li You got the holy decree so quickly.

Li You took out the royal gold medal, and said in front of Ma Longgui's eyes: "Master Ma, do you think this is okay?" ”

Ma Wengui saw the four big words "If I am coming" on the royal gold medal, he secretly complained in his heart. He reluctantly bowed to the imperial gold medal and said, "Minister Ma Wengui see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Wang San is very good at coming to things, and he shouted directly: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

Where have the officers and soldiers of Luoyang City and the people of Caokou seen this formation? Everyone shouted together: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

At this time, Ma Wengui was completely dumbfounded, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to play tricks in this situation. 8)
