Seeing Ma Yun walk out, Li Gao couldn't help but stand up and was about to move a few steps towards the door. But before he could take two steps, he heard Ma Yun lose his voice and say: "What? How did he... After that, Ma Yun seemed to think of something, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Hearing the tone of this, Ma Yun was quite shocked, and even a little flustered, Li Gao and Ma Guangliang looked at each other suspiciously, secretly speculating in their hearts.

Li Gao was about to step forward to eavesdrop on one or two, when he saw the door curtain lifted, Ma Yun walked in, and saw that his face was still a little smiling, but he did smile quite reluctantly, and he wanted to cover it.

Li Gao smiled at Ma Yun and said, "Fifth Prince, has something happened?" Why don't you come and listen, with the second prince here, he will definitely be able to make decisions for you. ”

When Ma Yun just lifted the curtain and entered the door, he saw that Li Gao's face was a little embarrassed, and when he saw him in the middle of the room, he secretly sneered and said, "A little thing, the guards haven't seen anything in the world, it's just a bit of a fuss." Don't bother the second brother. ”

Ma Guangliang sipped tea with a smile, as if he hadn't heard anything, and his eyes were full of softness.

The moment Ma Yun sat down, the room was unusually silent, and only the sound of drizzle outside the house was heard. Ma Guangliang smiled silently, Li Gao's eyes wandered, and he stopped talking, while Ma Yun was a little absent-minded.

As time passed, the silence slowly evolved into an awkwardness.

The first thing to break this embarrassment was not Ma Yun as the master, nor Ma Guangliang who had a deep brotherhood, but the "highly respected" Li Gao, he said: "Hehe, this Zhou Tingzhi is really a wonderful person, and he really knows how to stutter, and he would actually think of letting the fifth prince live in the county government, such a knotting method is really novel and rare." Too talented, too talented. ”

Looking at the ill-intentioned Li Gao opposite, Ma Yun's spirit was highly concentrated, and he actually had no reaction to the popular phrase "too talented", and just asked: "Second brother, didn't you come to Wangcheng County to find this Zhou Tingxue?" ”

Ma Guangliang said with a smile: "Fifth brother, first, I came on the orders of my father, I asked about this Zhou Tingzhi if I had something, and secondly, I also picked you up by the way and went back to Changsha with you." I didn't expect you to come so quickly, fifth brother, and I didn't expect that you actually lived in this county office, fifth brother. Hehe, where don't you meet in life, Zhou Tingzhiren? ”

Ma Guangliang dragged the text a little inexplicably, what does it mean to "where don't we meet in life"? Ma Yun pondered and was about to reply, when someone outside the door said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

Ma Yun glanced outside the door and was about to get up, when Li Gao next to him stood up and said, "Lord Wang, this is permission to ask back, I'll take a look." ”

Ma Yunhu glanced at Ma Guangliang suspiciously, and Ma Guangliang also looked at him hesitantly, and at the moment when their eyes collided, the two actually looked at each other and smiled. Ma Guangliang said: "Fifth brother, your tea is good, but this year's new tea in Nanping, get me a bag next time, this is pure but not bitter, fragrant between the teeth, surrounded by it, it is indeed a good tea." ”

Ma Yun also said softly: "I have already brought it to you, and I am about to send it over when I arrive in Changsha." Unexpectedly, our brothers actually met first in Wangcheng County. ”

Saying that, he actually laughed, and Ma Guangliang also smiled. It's a pity that it was the voice of the yin owl that broke the warmth: "What。。。。 ”

The sound was not loud, but it was too quiet around the county office, and it came in clearly. The two looked at each other again, and they each turned their minds, but they couldn't laugh anymore.

"Fifth Prince, did you order Zhou Tingzhi to be arrested by Wangcheng County!" Li Gao, who had just entered the house, asked directly.

Ma Yun took a sip of tea, ignored Li Gao, and smiled at Ma Guangliang: "Second brother, what does my father have to ask this Zhou Tingxue, junior brother, on the way back to Changsha, someone blocked the road and shouted grievances, junior brother, so he took Zhou Tingxue down temporarily." ”

"Someone shouts injustice? Who is it, and what is it? Where are the people? Li Gao asked.

Ma Yun looked at Ma Guangliang, then glanced at the anxious Li Gao, and said hesitantly: "This person is still in custody, I haven't asked yet?" ”

Since they met, seeing that Ma Yun had no respect and turned a blind eye to himself, Li Gao was angry in his heart, coupled with his God-given opportunity, he finally won a chance for the second prince to establish prestige, but he was taken the lead by Ma Yun by mistake, and he was angry and resentful, and he was even more dissatisfied with Ma Yun, so he said directly: "What a fifth prince, did Tuoba Heng teach you like this?" If you don't ask the plaintiff carefully, you don't even understand the case clearly, so you dare to open a court to interrogate the suspect, you still have Wang Fa in your eyes. ”

Ma Yun's face sank, stared at Li Gao, and sneered: "Li Gao, did you say that this king was beaten into a move?" Zhou Tingxue's case has both human and physical evidence, and he himself does not deny it, is this also called an unjust case? ”

"Master Li is anxious, don't be surprised by the fifth brother. Oh, by the way, you found the ledger? Show it to me, my father is very close to this matter. Ma Guangliang asked with a smile.

"Ledger. That... What kind of ledger? "Fortunately, his brain turned fast, and Ma Yun almost said it.

"Fifth brother, didn't you say that there are human and physical evidence?" Ma Guangliang said a little dissatisfied.

Ma Yun secretly scolded Li Gao in his heart for being cunning, Li Gao accused Ma Yun of trying the case, of course Ma Yun didn't want to defend himself as a human witness and physical evidence, and then Ma Guangliang smiled again, and went straight to the account book, Ma Yun was almost fooled. At that moment, he had to pretend to be confused and said: "Second brother, this physical evidence, I mean the silver spear that Zhou Tingzhi supervised, it is full of real silver, he actually made it silver-plated, greedy for ink... So much silver, what a kill! ”

"Fifth Prince, you sent troops to surround the Foundry Bureau, and you didn't find the account book when you turned over the cabinets?"

Ma Yun smiled: "Master Li, you are old, are you confused." With those silver guns, isn't it enough to prove that Zhou Tingzhi is greedy for ink, and the amount of ink greed is not small, which is enough to convict. What ledger do you need? ”

"Does the prince know how many taels of silver Zhou Tingyu was greedy for? Does he have a backstage, and where did he spend all this money? Li Gao asked.

Ma Yun shook his head and smiled: "Oh, what should I do?" Master Li, you can rest assured. If you want to know these things, you don't need to find any account books, Zhou Tingzhu is still there, I have already used a big punishment on him, and I won't say anything about it tomorrow. You can rest assured, second brother, Ming'er and our brothers will interrogate him together, I can't dig his mouth if I don't believe it. Brother, I recently learned a set of eighteen tortures in the Central Plains, even if he is a dead man, he can make him speak. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Gao with malicious intent.

Li Gao looked at Ma Yun's harmless smile and lazy look, and he couldn't wait to go up and hit him in the mouth. Ma Guangliang's face was a little solemn, and he kept guessing in his heart, did this fifth man find the account book, or didn't find it?

At this time, it was Ma Yun who asked: "Second brother, how do you know that Zhou Tingzhi is greedy for ink?" ”

"A few days ago, there were also people blocking the road and shouting grievances. I took the case, learned about the case, felt that the matter was serious, and secretly reported it to my father, and then came to Wangcheng County to make a surprise trial of Zhou Tingxue. ”

Also a whistleblower? Ma Yun was a little hesitant at the moment, this week's Tingzhi is too unreliable, why do so many people know about it?

"Fifth Prince, can you bring the person who reported the crime here, and let's ask him together? Maybe he knows the ledger. ”

The ledger is in the crack between the walls of the landlord of the Foundry Bureau, which is what the informant said. Ma Yun also followed what he said, and sent Shentu Congjian to find the account book from there. But this man, he's dead...
