All human beings have a bad taste for snooping on other people's privacy, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are no different. Back then, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was so powerful, and he couldn't use any words of greatness and brightness on him, but people still liked to explore his secrets.

This is like the presidential election of the lighthouse country in the future, who likes to listen to you talk about how to govern the country? I don't like to listen and I don't understand, but the common people like to listen to your secret things, how many people have illegitimate children, how many women have played with, and so on.

The people on the streets of Nanjing heard that Xu Da had died of Hualiu's illness, and they began to whisper one by one, Xu Jiujue explained loudly on the side, no one could listen to it, not to mention that the more your Xu family explained, didn't it just prove that there were ghosts here? Why don't you explain?

Xu Jiujue saw that he was getting darker and darker, and scolded Ma Cheng angrily: "Ma Cheng, you bastard, you offer your sister and favor to be the chief soldier, why don't you sacrifice your mother too?" ”

Although Xu Jiujue is the second generation of officials, he is well-educated after all, so he didn't want to mention Ma Cheng's bullshit. But I didn't expect this Ma Cheng to be too much of a thing, and the scars of the Xu family would be revealed as soon as they met, so Xu Jiujue didn't care about it.

Although the incident of offering sisters is secret, there are still people in the Lin Party in the Middle East of the DPRK who know about it, or they would not have used this incident to hit Ma Shiying. But the folk have not yet spread it, and now the lively crowd hears that there are still people who offer their sisters in order to be officials, which is more exciting news than Xu Da's flower willow disease.

Although Ma Cheng has no psychological burden on Sister Xian, but after all, this kind of thing is not good to say, Ma Cheng still cherishes his feathers in order to develop in the officialdom in the future, and now Xu Jiujue, a bastard, has poked this matter out in public, and the angry Ma Cheng has been hanging his back.

Ma Cheng saw that Xu Jiujue, a bastard, was still talking nonsense, and no matter what his identity was, he was going to beat this damn guy when he stepped forward. Although Xu Jiujue was talking about Ma Cheng's, he had been paying attention to Ma Cheng, and when he saw Ma Cheng moving his body, he knew that this guy was going to make a move.

Although Ma Cheng's physical fitness is good, Xu Jiujue is a practitioner, and Ma Cheng really can't beat him after the two of them get started. Ma Cheng was in a hurry to see Lu Siye behind him and scolded: "Old Lu, you can't do it if you die, you can't come to help Lao Tzu!" ”

Ma Cheng and Xu Jiujue both brought their family members to their own soldiers, but these two people were valuable, and those family members dared to come forward to help, so Ma Cheng could only find Lu Siye. Lu Siye gritted his teeth when he heard Ma Cheng call him, and rushed forward with a wave of his fist, the two second ancestors and the second generation of the war officials.

Since the master is all in a piece, his subordinates naturally can't watch. Gu Zhong greeted him, and rushed up with ten personal soldiers to fight with more than a dozen family members of Xu Jiujue opposite, and for a while, the streets of Nanjing Confucius Temple were in chaos.

Although Ma Cheng's ten personal soldiers have good physical fitness, after all, they eat and drink well every day, but they have only been soldiers for a few months, and at the same time, half of their daily training is how to practice firearms, so naturally this fight is not good. On the other hand, Xu Jiujue's side, his family members are all the Xu family's personal soldiers, and the ancestors were all personal soldiers who followed Xu Da, although after more than 200 years, the blood is basically gone, but the experience of fighting with Xu Jiujue, the second generation of officials, is extremely rich, so at first glance, Ma Cheng's personal soldiers suffered a loss.

Street fighting is not the same as battlefield fighting, Ma Cheng's personal soldiers just finished plating, so he knew that people didn't play any formation with you at all, so he took out the lime bag from his arms and threw it over, Gu Zhong and the others didn't watch out for a while to be covered with lime.

The Xu family took advantage of this opportunity to step forward one by one, pulling their hair, wrenching their fingers, digging out their eyeballs, and kicking their lower yin, all of which were extremely vicious. Gu Zhong's personal combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Xu family, but he is lonely, and seeing that his own soldiers have been knocked to the ground one by one, Gu Zhong has no choice but to take out the fire gun in his arms and shoot it into the sky, and then scolded: "Stop, I'm shooting!" ”

There are nearly a million people in the whole city of Nanjing, and there are people fighting in the streets every day, but there are really no guns. The surrounding onlookers saw that they were going to move the real thing, and they were afraid of hurting the innocent, so they immediately ran half away, and the remaining half also watched the excitement from a distance, for fear that the musket would go off and hurt themselves.

The Xu family members are also soldiers, so they naturally know the power of muskets. It's just that the Ming army is very strict in the management of muskets, and there is no reason for soldiers to dare to go out with muskets without permission. Now seeing Gu Zhong take out his musket and face it, the Xu family quickly let go of Ma Cheng's personal soldiers and slowly retreated to the side.

The guy led by the Xu family stood up and said carefully: "Brother, everyone is trying to eat, don't think about it!" ”

Ma Cheng was now rubbing with Lu Siye pressing Xu Jiujue to the ground, when he suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot, Lu Siye was shocked and said, "Second brother, how did you let your own soldiers bring firearms into the city?" Now it's a big deal! "Writing Zhai

The law of the Ming Dynasty was very strict, and it was not allowed to carry firearms, even bows, arrows, and armor in the capital. Even the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp guarding the imperial palace were allowed to patrol the outer city with weapons only with the permission of the emperor's holy decree. The security of the imperial city and the palace city is responsible for the imperial horse supervisor and the brocade guard, and Lu Siye's uncle Lu Jiude is the palm seal eunuch who manages the imperial horse supervisor in the palace, so he naturally knows this order.

Xu Jiujue, who was beaten and covered in blood, heard the gunshots and smiled cruelly: "Ma Cheng, Lu Siye, no one can save you now!" Carrying a firearm in the city without permission is a big crime of losing your head! ”

Now that something happened, the three of them had no intention of fighting any longer, Lu Siye pulled Ma Cheng to stand up and whispered: "But it's okay, it's just that the second brother's personal soldiers carry firearms, and the second brother only needs to say that he doesn't know, and the second brother is only poor management at most, and you can give more money to the family of the pro-soldier afterwards!" ”

Ma Cheng heard Lu Siye say this and walked silently to Gu Zhong, and then took the two firearms in his hand, Lu Siye saw Ma Cheng so anxious and said, "Second brother, are you crazy?" This crime can be big or small, even your identity must be removed from the official to get rid of the crime, it's not worth it! ”

Lu Siye is right, Ma Cheng's current power is still very weak, and he can't compete with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so putting the blame on Gu Zhong has become the only way. But Lu Siye doesn't know Gu Zhong's identity, Gu Zhong is Gu Xiying's nephew, can Ma Cheng make his concubine sad? In addition, this is an excellent opportunity to buy the loyalty of his soldiers, and Ma Cheng naturally can't let it go.

Gu Zhong was originally a soldier in Fengyang, where he knew the rules of the capital, but when he heard Lu Siye say this just now, he knew that he had made a big mistake, and now he saw that Ma Cheng wanted to take responsibility for himself, and quickly knelt down and said: "Lord Zongzhen, it's all villains who are carried away by anger for a while, let the villain bear the mistakes!" ”

Ma Cheng pulled Gu Zhong up with a smile and said: "Boy, you are Lao Tzu's personal soldier, that is, Lao Tzu's brother, can Lao Tzu watch it if his brother is in trouble?" Don't worry, I'm fine this time! ”

The Ming Dynasty was similar to that of later generations, except that no one cared about ordinary fights, but someone took care of them when they moved their guns. Soon a team of fifty people rushed from the corner of the street, led by a middle-aged soldier wearing a white pan-collar coat on the top, a dark blue pleated skirt on the bottom, and an iron helmet with a hat on his head, and fifty soldiers behind him.

Ma Cheng didn't know what kind of army this was, but the people around him knew that this was the famous Jinyi Guard, and when they saw this group of killing gods coming, the crowd that had been watching the excitement dispersed in a hurry.

The soldier led by Jinyi Wei came to Ma Cheng, looked Ma Cheng and the other three up and down, and saw that these people were not ordinary people in their clothes, so the soldier lowered his posture a little and asked, "Who set off the fire just now?" ”

Gu Zhong was about to step forward and say that it was himself, but he was pulled back by Ma Cheng, and then Ma Cheng waved the fire gun in his hand and said, "It was put by Lao Tzu, what's wrong?" ”

It was probably the first time that the military man had seen someone dare to call himself Lao Tzu in front of Jinyiwei, and he laughed angrily: "Okay, it's good if someone admits it, let's go to Jinyiwei's yamen with this official to be tried!" ”

Nanjing and Beijing, as the capital of the empire, are different from other prefectures and counties, and the security of the entire city is jointly managed by many parties, in addition to Ying Tianfu and its subordinate Shangyuan and Jiangning counties, there are also units with law enforcement power in the city. At the same time, Jinyiwei is also responsible for repairing streets and dredging ditches in the capital, so don't look at the glossy clothes of Jinyiwei, who has a lot of power in his hands, but it is also a hard profession.

In front of Ma Cheng, this Jinyiwei is responsible for Feng Ji, the general flag in the area of Confucius Temple, the area of Confucius Temple is the most prosperous area in Nanjing, this is the fattest lack of Jinyiwei, Feng Ji is not the nephew of Feng Kezong, the commander of Jinyiwei, this place is not his turn. Because of this, Feng Ji was most afraid that something would happen to his subordinates, and immediately took the captain of fifty people to see what was going on after hearing the sound of gunshots.

Feng Ji, as the head snake in the area of Confucius Temple in Nanjing, naturally recognized Xu Jiujue, but the two young people opposite didn't recognize him. But Feng Ji didn't take it to heart, who could be the one who could get along with Xu Jiujue, the second generation of officials? It's nothing more than the sons and daughters of Nanjing's nobles. So Feng Ji didn't want to get used to Ma Cheng, everyone knew that although Nanjing Xungui was domineering, he didn't have any power in his hands, not to mention that now they were guilty of rebellion, so Feng Ji was not ready to be verbose, waved his hand to the captain behind him, and signaled his subordinates to arrest Ma Cheng and Lu Siye.

The lieutenants got the order of the commander, took out the iron chain rope and were about to step forward to tie Ma Cheng, but Ma Cheng can let you catch an honest one, Ma Cheng raised the musket in his hand and pointed it at Feng Ji and scolded: "Your mother, believe it or not, Lao Tzu shot you down?" ”

The power of the musket in the Ming Dynasty was naturally not as great as the pistol of later generations, but Feng Ji was now less than two meters away from Ma Cheng, and the musket was about to touch Feng Ji's brain, which would be gone if it was touched by Feng Ji's heavenly spirit cover.

Feng Ji has been a Jinyi guard for half his life, and it was the first time he met someone who dared to threaten Jinyi with a gun, and he stayed there in fright for a while.
