Ma Cheng's Zhenguo Hou Mansion is on the edge of the Confucius Temple, which has always been the center of the southern city, and Ma Cheng's group of seven or eight hundred people just came out of Majia Lane, and was discovered by the citizens who played here in the Confucius Temple.

Ma Cheng is now a big celebrity in Nanjing City, who doesn't know that Ma Cheng, who broke 15,000 and 400,000, now saw Ma Cheng being escorted out of Majia Lane by a group of brocade guards, many people began to whisper and ask what was going on.

Ma Cheng saw the surrounding Nanjing citizens, made a painful look, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen of Nandu, Ma Cheng I made a mistake, His Majesty the Emperor wants to send Ma Cheng to prison, this is completely Ma Cheng's own fault, don't learn from Ma Cheng!" Ma Cheng cried bitterly as he spoke.

Ma Cheng was still a general who commanded thousands of troops and horses half a year ago, but now he has become a prisoner, this news is very exciting, and soon the Confucius Temple is crowded with people, and a large number of Nanjing citizens have come to see the excitement.

At this time, Ma Cheng's personal guards played the role of a propaganda team, and many personal guards said to the Nanjing citizens around them: "See, my Hou Ye is Yue Fei's second!" The current emperor is Zhao Gou, and Qian Qianyi is Qin Hui! Now that my Hou Ye will defeat the Beiyu, Qin Hui is jealous of my Hou Ye and wants to punish my Hou Ye! ”

People have the psychology of sympathizing with the weak, although the emperor Zhu Lunkui is the weak in terms of strength, but in the eyes of these ordinary people who don't understand the truth, Ma Cheng, who is crying bitterly, is more worthy of sympathy.

Just a month ago, the emperor swept Ma Cheng's power to the end, and rumors have begun to circulate in Nanjing that Ma Cheng is Yue Fei's second, and now seeing that the emperor finally attacked Ma Cheng, it confirmed the correctness of the rumors. For a while, the crowd here in the Confucius Temple was talking in a low voice, scolding Qian Qianyi, who was not a person, and Zhu Lunkui, who was not a mediocre person.

Lu Jiude saw that this was not good, the crowd had blocked the road, and if it was too long, it would be difficult to ensure that Ma Cheng's subordinates would take advantage of the mess, but Lu Jiude did not dare to order those guards, so he could only urge his subordinates to leave the crowded area quickly.

Although Lu Jiude's Jinyi guards did not dare to deal with Ma Cheng's personal guards, they still had a hand in dealing with these ordinary people. After getting Lu Jiude's order, these brocade guards waved the embroidered spring scabbards in their hands one after another, and the citizens who had just blocked the road in front of them to watch the lively citizens broke their heads and bleed. Although the road was opened, it made Nanjing citizens' disgust for these brocade guards even heavier.

Lu Jiude left the Confucius Temple with Jinyiwei, he has now found that Ma Cheng is a hot potato, this kind of trouble should be handed over to Jinyiwei, don't put yourself in it. Therefore, Lu Jiude didn't care about the others and let Jinyiwei go quickly, and soon rushed to the Jinyiwei Prison set up in the Taiping Gate.

Taipingmen was a battlefield during the siege of Nanjing, and the surrounding houses were already in tatters, but fortunately, the edict was made of stone, and there was no loss in the war.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Feng Kezong, did not know the details of the incident, and saw that Lu Jiude was coming in person and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Seeing Feng Kezong come out, Lu Jiude breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Ma Cheng would be robbed by the guards on the way, then he Lu Jiude would be in big trouble, but when he arrived at the Imperial Prison, the trouble was Feng Kezong's.

Feng Kezong was promoted to the governor after the war because of his meritorious service in guarding the palace city in the defense of Nanjing, which can be regarded as a promotion. However, this identity is not enough in front of Lu Jiude

Look, so when he saw Lu Jiude coming, he quickly knelt down on his knees and asked, "Grandpa Lu, why are you here?" ”

Lu Jiude laughed: "It's nothing, on the order of the emperor, escort a prisoner to the edict prison, and Feng Dudu can accept it!" ”

After Lu Jiude finished speaking, he was afraid that Feng Kezong would not agree, and he didn't wait for Feng Kezong to ask who this Qin prisoner was, so he hurriedly left the edict with five hundred brocade guards and threw this hot potato to Feng Kezong.

Originally, Ma Cheng's personal guards were not very conspicuous in the Jinyi Guard, but when the Jinyi Guard left, Ma Cheng's personal guards stood out, among which Ma Cheng, who was lying on the stretcher, was even more eye-catching.

Feng Kezong didn't know what these people were doing, why were they all fully armed, and he was just about to scold when he saw Gu Yong.

Gu Yong used to be just an inconspicuous Qiu Ba, but now no one in Nanjing City knows that Gu Yong is a big celebrity in front of the Hou Ma Cheng of Zhenguo. Although Feng Kezong's official position is one level higher than Gu Yong's, how dare he pretend to be big? Hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Commander Gu, why did you have time to run to Xiaguan?" ”

Gu Yong didn't pay attention to Feng Kezong, but lowered his head and asked Ma Cheng: "Master Hou, it's time to go to the edict, but Lu Jiude ran away!" ”

Feng Kezong only found out at this time that the guy lying on the stretcher was Ma Cheng, Feng Kezong quickly knelt down on his knees and shouted: "I don't know that the Marquis of Zhenguo has arrived, and the lower officials have not greeted him, it is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

Ma Cheng lay on the stretcher and snorted and said, "Okay, Feng Dudu, get up, today Benhou is a sinner, and it is under the jurisdiction of you Feng Dudu!" ”

Feng Kezong thought that Ma Cheng was joking, and hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Zhenguo is really joking, you are old and trusted by the emperor, how can you be a sinner?" ”

"Ben Hou won't lie to you, just now it was Lu Jiude who brought Ben Hou here and imprisoned him in your Jinyiwei's edict!"

Feng Kezong only knew what the situation was when he heard Ma Cheng say this, Feng Kezong scolded Lu Jiude in his heart, this damn yin and yang person is really yin, what can I do if I throw such a hot potato to myself? Feng Kezong knew that although this Ma Cheng was now unofficial and light, he still had a huge force in the army outside the city, and if he offended Ma Cheng, the gang of Qiu Ba outside the city had to come in and burn Feng Kezong's house.

Thinking of this, Feng Kezong suddenly remembered the incident in the military camp outside the city a few days ago, and heard that the army outside the city had sent Luo Bingran, who was sent by the emperor, and said that only Ma Cheng could lead them to the battle. Now that Ma Cheng has suddenly become a prisoner, Feng Kezong has figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and he has unknowingly been involved in the whirlpool of Ma Cheng's struggle for power with the emperor.

Thinking of this, Feng Kezong trembled with fright, this kind of immortal fight is not something that a small person like him can participate in, he can't afford to offend, and if he can't deal with it, he will die and the clan will be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Feng Kezong's teeth were fighting, and he stumbled and asked, "Town. . . The marquis of Zhenguo, the villain has no holy decree, no. Don't dare to accept the Hou Ye! ”

When Lu Jiude left just now, he forgot to hand over the holy decree to Feng Kezong, so Feng Kezong thought that he could take advantage of this loophole to send Ma Cheng away. But Ma Cheng was going to prison today, and when he heard Feng Kezong say this, he scolded: "What? No Divine Decree? Feng Kezong, do you think Lao Tzu is a toy? You can play as much as you want? Today, Lao Tzu has to go to your edict! ”

Seeing that Ma Cheng was angry, Gu Yong took out his waist knife and put it on Feng Kezong's neck, forcing Feng Kezong to take Ma Cheng to the Imperial Prison

Feng Kezong was dead when he saw this scene, and secretly scolded himself in his heart why he had to come to the edict today, and happened to meet Ma Cheng, a bastard. But what else can be done when something has already happened? There was no way, Feng Kezong had no choice but to take Ma Cheng into the gate of the edict in fear.

Although the edict was frightened, I thought it must be a deep place. In fact, the edict prison is just a few dozen ordinary houses, and the prison in the back is no different from other stone houses if you look at the outside. But if you look closely, you can still find that the doors of the prison are made of iron and wooden doors, and the windows are also skylights opened in the ceiling, and some of the prison doors have black blood stains, which is very scary.

However, this kind of thing is okay to scare ordinary people, Gu Yong and the others don't have more than a dozen or twenty lives in their hands, they can be frightened by this kind of thing, but these guards are very excited when they see the legendary edict for the first time, and it is very novel to look left and right.

Feng Kezong didn't dare to really place Ma Cheng in prison, so he had no choice but to vacate the Qianhu office in charge of the edict, and then said to Ma Cheng: "Master Hou, the prison is a small place here, so you can only wronged Master Hou!" ”

Ma Cheng looked left and right, and said to Feng Kezong: "Lao Tzu is now a prisoner, so naturally he can't be specialized!" But Lao Tzu is sick and is taking Chinese medicine, so you have to make sure that your meals are good, you know? ”

Feng Kezong grinned when he heard Ma Cheng say this, you Ma Cheng really didn't treat himself as an outsider, this is the Imperial Prison, do you think it's Huaiyang Tower? Of course, Feng Kezong could only scold these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to show them on his face, and he nodded and asked, "Then I don't know what flavor of food Hou Ye likes?" ”

Ma Cheng thought for a while and said, "It's Zhenhai Tower, just ask for Bao Yixi!" And Lao Tzu's brothers also eat the same as Lao Tzu! ”

Zhenhailou is one of the largest restaurants in Nanjing, and it is the best at making seafood, Feng Kezong heard that Ma Cheng wanted to eat seafood, and he also brought the three hundred guards with him, Feng Kezong's heart was dripping blood. The food in Zhenhailou is good, a table of abalone wings costs at least five taels of silver, and three hundred people are more than 30 tables, thinking that he has to pay for Ma Cheng's gang to prepare wine and food, Feng Kezong scolded in his heart: "Ma Cheng bastard, aren't you a taboo with hemorrhoids?" If you still want to eat seafood and other hair things, it's best to pull blood and kill you bastard! ”

But Feng Kezong didn't dare to offend Ma Cheng, although he scolded bitterly in his heart, he could only admit that he was unlucky, and went out to let his subordinates go to Zhenhailou to order food.

Feng Kezong waited for Ma Cheng's father without mentioning it, and after Lu Jiude handed Ma Cheng over to Feng Kezong, he took Jinyiwei back to the palace to hand over the order.

Zhu Lunkui also regretted a little when he heard that Lu Jiude had put Ma Cheng in prison, he was furious at that time and didn't think about the consequences at all, if Ma Cheng really had any disobedience, he didn't need to mobilize any army, and the 11,000 guards outside Ma Cheng City would be enough to make trouble. Now that Zhu Lunkui heard that Ma Cheng did not resist, but honestly obeyed the holy decree and went to prison, he couldn't help but put his hanging heart back in his stomach.

"Lu Daban, this Ma Cheng is really hateful, if he didn't know the rules, how could I treat him like this!"

Lu Jiude knew that this was the emperor defending himself, and he also said: "The emperor is right, but now that Ma Cheng has entered the edict prison, why not let Feng Kezong interrogate him, so as to be angry for His Majesty?" ”
