Ma Cheng beat Lu Siye violently, stood up and looked at Lu Siye's men, and asked, "What?" Are you going to do it? ”

In fact, Ma Cheng didn't know, even if he gave those soldiers a hundred dares, he didn't dare to move a finger of Ma Cheng, who was Ma Cheng? The sister-in-law of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, these soldiers are just ordinary pacesetters under Lu Jiude, their status is different from Ma Cheng's heaven and earth, after learning Ma Cheng's identity, it is good to kneel and kowtow, so have the courage to beat him!

Lu Siye's subordinates hurriedly bowed down to get out of the way, and Ma Cheng triumphantly led Xu Dahu out.

The one who knew that he went out but was stopped by the shopkeeper of Huaiyang Building: "Young Master Ma, you smashed Huaiyang Building like this, how can you leave?" And you haven't paid for your meals? ”

Ma Cheng heard the shopkeeper say this, and thought to himself, is there a reason why you don't pay for meals? I am the second generation of officials, but I should be a second generation of officials with ideals and morals, isn't it money! Daddy is the governor, and he doesn't have the money yet!

Ma Cheng rode on the horse and asked, "What you said is also reasonable, but the fight was Lu Siye's little bastard who made the first move, how much money did it cost him to ask." But the money for the meal came out and said, how much. ”

"Ma Gongzi, a total of fourteen taels and six coins of silver!"

Your mother, I still think it's a little more than fourteen taels. Ma Cheng said to Gu Changwei beside him: "Gu San, pay the money!" ”

Gu Changwei really has no money in his hands now, so he has no choice but to whisper: "Second master, the villain has no money in his hands, only less than three taels of broken silver, which is not enough!" ”

Out of money? Ma Cheng asked, "Why do you bring such a little money when you go out?" ”

Gu Changwei smiled bitterly and said: "Second master, you don't know, your monthly routine is only eight taels, and the forty taels you rewarded in the Governor's Mansion just now are your savings for most of the year!" ”

What the? Only eight taels of pocket money a month? Ma Cheng said angrily: "Isn't my father the governor? Master, why do I only have eight taels of pocket money? ”

Ma Cheng spoke loudly and was heard by the shopkeeper in front of him. What the? Out of money? The shopkeeper began to relent: "What? If you don't have money, you're not allowed to go! We're going to report to the police! Don't think that we are easy to bully! ”

The shopkeeper's words made Ma Cheng angry and scolded: "Report your mother's official!" My father is the governor of Fengyang, will you go to my father to sue Lao Tzu? ”

Ma Cheng originally thought that his name was very good, but he was wrong. Although Ma Shiying's name as a governor is very bluffing, he is nothing in front of the real magnates.

The shopkeeper sneered: "Ma Gongzi, don't you know who the owner of our Huaiyang Building is?" The owner of my family is Grandpa Xu, the Duke of Wei! ”

Wei Guogong? Ma Cheng really didn't know who it was, Ma Cheng looked at Gu Changwei, Gu Changwei knew that he had kicked the iron plate today, and hurriedly whispered: "Second master, Wei Guogong is a noble who was personally awarded by Taizu, which is not ordinary!" ”

"Is Wei Guogong very awesome? Better than my dad? "In Ma Cheng's heart, Ma Shiying is already the commander of the large military region, except for the emperor, it should be Ma Shiying.

The shopkeeper sneered when he heard Ma Cheng say this: "Hmph, Governor Ma is a second-grade waiter, can he compare with my grandfather?" My grandfather is the queen of the King of Zhongshan! ”

Ma Cheng likes to listen to book reviews in later generations, especially Ming Yinglie said by Shan Tianfang, he is too familiar with this Zhongshan King, isn't he the most capable Xu Da!

"Oh, I know, is Wei Guogong the general Xu who died in the bombardment of the heroes' building?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's bombardment of the Heroes Building was a wild history fabricated by the Qing Dynasty in order to discredit the Ming Dynasty, and there was no such rumor in the Ming Dynasty. But Xu Da had a back sore, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a steamed goose, and Xu Da died that night after eating, but this rumor has been there since the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty. This rumor has always been regarded as taboo by Xu Da's descendants, and it must not be mentioned.

Now Ma Cheng has said the taboo of the Xu family in public, and he also made up an even more nonsense bombardment of the hero building, the shopkeeper is the house slave of Wei Guogong, so he can bear it!

"You! You! You actually insulted our Zhongshan King, don't go! Follow me to the officer! "After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was going to come up and lead Ma Cheng's horse. But forget that Ma Cheng was standing in front of Xu Dahu.

Xu Dahu saw that this guy was so unreasonable, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed it, Xu Dahu felt that it was gently pushed, but Xu Dahu was a one-meter-eight martial artist, and this time he pushed the shopkeeper to his head, so that his forehead just knocked on the stone steps at the door, and he saw that the shopkeeper was still moving after a while.

Huaiyanglou's work stepped forward and saw that the shopkeeper was dead, and cried one by one: "There is no heavenly reason, and there is no royal law!" If you don't pay for dinner, you will kill my shopkeeper! ”

Ma Cheng saw that he had killed someone, and knew that it was a big deal today, so he hurriedly fled back to the governor's yamen with his men.

Back in the house, Ma Cheng thought about what to do, after all, Ma Cheng had little experience, and now he saw that the dead man was completely messed up. Ma Cheng thought that his father and eldest brother were not at home, and said to his mother? No, how can a woman show her face! Ma Cheng thought for a long time and thought of his uncle Yue Qijie, so he had no choice but to find Yue Qijie's outstanding leader.

The matter of beating people to death on the street was a big deal in that dynasty, and Lu Siye came out to fan the flames, and the shopkeeper's family and a group of men carried the body to the Yamen of Fengyang County to sue Ma Cheng.

The originally poor rabbits in Fengyang don't, and Zhu Yuanzhang has to build his hometown into the capital after he is developed, so the natural capital can't be too cheap, so Fengyang Mansion has a total of five states and fifteen counties, and it is the premier mansion in Jiangbei that is directly subordinate to the south.

Fengyang Mansion is attached to Fengyang County, the county order is Chongzhen's four-year lifting Xu Zhenye, Xu Zhenye is a person from Hangzhou, after winning the move, he took the door of Wei Guogong Xu Hongji and was elected as the magistrate of Fengyang County, and Xu Zhenye also shamelessly recognized Xu Hongji as his godfather.

Today, Xu Da County Order is sitting in the back house, although he is attached to Guo County, but because of the hard roots, the Fengyang prefect can't do anything with him, plus Xu Da County Order will come to things tightly, and the three festivals and two birthdays every year never fall into the process, so this year's official plan he also got a middle and upper.

The assessment of officials in the Ming Dynasty was divided into two parts: Jingcha and Daji, and Jingcha was to assess officials in Beijing, once every six years. The plan is to evaluate local officials, once every three years. In the assessment, if the inferior class is evaluated, the official will be dismissed, the middle class can be retained, and the upper class will be promoted. Xu Daxian Ling took the door of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, and evaluated the middle and upper, according to the regulations, if he is still in the middle and upper part of the three years, he can be promoted to a level, and go to be a governor or a fellow governor, so Xu Daxian Ling is very happy in his heart these days.

But Xu Daxian knew that things would be reversed, and if he was too happy, he would be disappointed, and it was not just noon, and the drums outside the yamen of Fengyang County sounded. In the Ming Dynasty, when the drum sounded, it meant that there was a major event, that is, the county magistrate was and had to get up and go to court immediately, if you couldn't accept the case in time, it would be a dereliction of duty for the magistrate.

Fortunately, Xu Daxian was not in Gong, and when he heard the sound of the drum, he hurriedly prepared the official uniform to come out to see what the situation was.

Xu Daxian came to the county hall and saw a group of people already standing under the hall, among which there were several female relatives crying. Xu Zhenye came to his seat and sat down, patted the wood in surprise and said, "Who is next?" Why do you want to beat the drums? ”

As soon as the people in the hall saw that the county master was coming, those who had no merit quickly knelt down one after another, and one of the middle-aged men shouted: "Master, there is no royal law in broad daylight, and someone actually murders and kills people in public!" ”

Xu Zhenye frowned when he heard that the dead man was dead, there are many affairs in the county, but the most troublesome thing is two things, one is a tax collection and a murder case. It's easy to collect taxes, and if you can't collect them, everyone drinks the northwest wind together. The same is true for homicide cases, all dynasties and dynasties have had human lives at stake, and if something happens, it will be reported to the provincial yamen one by one, and at the same time, the county has a homicide case that is also related to the assessment of the county order, so Xu Zhenye was very irritable when he heard it.

Xu Zhenye frowned and asked, "Who is the bitter master?" Can there be witnesses? Can the murderer be caught? ”

The middle-aged man continued: "Master, everyone saw it at that time, it was the second son of the Governor, who killed the shopkeeper of Huaiyang Building on the street!" There are human and physical evidence! ”

Xu Zhenye was taken aback when he heard this: "What? The son of the governor killed the shopkeeper of Huaiyang Tower? As soon as Xu Zhenye heard the big deal, he had a good relationship with Xu Hongji, the backstage boss of Huaiyang Building, Wei Guogong, and Xu Hongji also sent a letter to ask him to take care of his business. At the same time, Xu Zhenye also knew that the shopkeeper was the brother of Wei Guogong's concubine, what should I do?

If the murderer is an ordinary person, it is easy to say, just send a servant to arrest him, but the murderer is the son of the governor. Xu Zhenye thought left and right, and didn't know what to do!

Help Wei Guogong's side, the governor's side can't afford to offend, but help the governor's side, Wei Guogong's side can't explain, when Xu Zhenye was in trouble, the master on the side approached and whispered: "Master, why can't you make up your mind?" ”

Xu Zhenye nodded and said, "Yes, master, what do you say?" ”

"Master, this is simple, I just looked at the situation and said that it was the house slave of the Governor's son who killed the shopkeeper, and it can be reported to a wicked slave for hurting people, and it has nothing to do with the proprietor! In this way, as long as the governor yamen handed over the evil slave to atone for the crime, wouldn't it be impossible to offend both? ”

Xu Zhenye was right when he heard it, just let the governor yamen find a substitute for the dead ghost, this strategy is too wonderful.

"Good!" Xu Zhenye took the form from his master's hand and watched it in detail, just as he said with his master.

Xu Zhenye nodded, and said loudly: "The bitter master heard clearly, the official took it, you go back first and wait for the notice, and announce the verdict on a later date!" Retire! ”

Xu Zhenye returned to the second hall and thought about it for a long time, feeling that it was really not respectful to send officials to arrest people directly, and it seemed that he was going to go in person.

Xu Zhenye asked his subordinates to prepare the official sedan chair, and went out of the county yamen and rushed to the governor's yamen.
