Along the way, Ma Yun deliberately put on a modest and approachable style, and every time he went to a state or county, he would hold a banquet and chat with the local gentry and village elders, understand the local customs, care about the people's welfare, and even more, he would climb high and overlook, and do some elegant things to listen to music and enjoy the scenery.

Its intention is nothing more than to establish the image of a humble gentleman. After all, before, Ma Yun's image in Dachu didn't seem to be very good. But what kind of bad method, Ma Yun doesn't know. It's just that Peng Shuang casually made such a suggestion in the secret letter to him, and even so, this suggestion is also very tactful.

Ma Yun was a little puzzled, and wanted to know what the image of the past was like, so he went to ask Li Xiang and Wu Ban, but this is not easy to say, and it is necessary to pay attention to some art, but in Li Xiang's place, Ma Yun only said one thing in a roundabout way, Li Xiang blinked his eyes, and directly blamed himself for being too busy to have time to talk about it, and then stood up to send Ma Yun off; And when he went to Wu Ban, Ma Yun first talked about it, looking at Wu Ban's impatient face and wanting to speak, Ma Yun had no choice but to tell the truth, but Wu Ban said hesitantly, those things have passed, and the prince doesn't have to take it to heart. Seeing that a good old man said this, Ma Yun was speechless for a while, after all, his mouth is on others, and people don't want to say it, so how can he use force.

Only occasionally chatting with Zhao Pu, Ma Yun talked about this matter, with a lot of emotion, and seemed to be a little angry, but Zhao Pu on the side smiled and said: "What the prince used to be and what is now, the lower officials don't know much about it, but even Li Xiang and Li Sima actually folded their ways, and the lower officials thought that the prince must have something extraordinary." Although the words were not long, they said that Ma Yun's heart was in his heart, and he laughed at the moment.

laughed and laughed, but Ma Yun still began to pay attention to his image, so he was gentle and elegant along the way. However, this kind of valuable character was only maintained for three days, and then it ran into the Wangcheng County corruption case.

After Ma Yun finished interrogating Zhou Tingxue, he felt that he had saved his fifth uncle Ma Xiguang, and with the help of Ma Xiguang and other generals of the internal army in the future, he should have the upper hand in the struggle for the throne of the king of Chu. I couldn't help but feel happier the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more proud I became, looking at Ma Yunmei's dancing appearance, Jing Niang and Qiao Niang were also happy, but Ziying next to her couldn't help but remind: "Husband, you still have to be cautious, after all, if you only have physical evidence, sometimes you can't say it clearly." Moreover, if you take someone else's sore foot, you generally don't show it, lest those people take risks. Changsha City doesn't have to be Nanping, everything has to be careful. ”

The speaker had no intention, listening attentively, Ma Yun thought to himself: Since he left the account book, which has the seals of Ma Xiguang and others, it is better to steal the beams and change the pillars and hide Zhou Tingzhi secretly, so that the human and material evidence is there, and the fifth uncle can only stand on his side with an iron heart.

Thinking of this, Ma Yun selected a few guards and quietly escorted Zhou Tingyu and the informant to chase Shentu Congjian, who had escorted the silver two and the ledger north to Jiangling; On the other hand, let Li Ergou quietly get out of the prison and put forward a death row prisoner, who was beaten first with injuries all over his body and out of shape, ready to see him off tonight.

After finishing these two things, Ma Yun became more and more proud in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing. At this time, suddenly Li Ergou came to report: "Lord Wang, at the gate of the county ya, there are a group of people, more than 20 people, one of the two people led by what is the name of the judge, what is the bachelor, and the other is actually the prince, they want to break in, and they have already fought with our people at the gate of the county ya." ”

Ma Yun was happy, and when he heard this, he said nonchalantly: "Let's go, let's go and see where they came from." "In fact, after listening to Li Ergou's words, Ma Yun has already guessed that this prince is his own second brother, what kind of bachelor, it is very likely to be Li Gao, the judge of Wu'an Jiedu and the head of the bachelor of Tiance Mansion. Ma Yun was just wondering how these two people came to Wangcheng County so coincidentally at this time.

Ma Yun's guards are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and there are many of them, and this group of people only recognizes Ma Yun, Ma Guangliang's title of prince has no deterrent effect at all, and when they moved, they quickly gained the upper hand. When Ma Yun walked outside the county office, most of Ma Guangliang's guards were already lying on the ground screaming, and the remaining few were trembling and surrounding Ma Guangliang, but they didn't dare to move, just shouting: "This is the second prince of our Da Chu, you, you can't rebel." ”

Seeing these situations, Ma Yun shouted: "Stop." ”

Then he scolded angrily: "You bastards, this is the second prince, Lao Tzu's second brother." If you grow your eyes in the future, you won't even recognize yourself? ”

After speaking, he walked a few steps closely, rushed at Ma Guangliang, hugged his fists and said, "Second brother, are you okay." I miss you. Then, without saying anything, the person who guarded Ma Guangliang put his arms around Ma Guangliang and said, "Second brother, we meet again, but I miss you." The father is doing well lately, and the queen mother is in good health? ”

Ma Guangliang's original face was earthy, but it was fleeting, the smile bloomed from the corner of his mouth again, patted his shoulder affectionately, and said: "It's all good, the father and the queen mother are all good, especially when I heard that you swept Nanping, the two old people were very happy." Fifth brother, you are much burlier and stronger. Leading soldiers to fight outside and sleeping in the open, but it's very hard, right? ”

"If you want to say that it's hard, it's really hard to fight, but whoever lets my brother and I like this, if you want to recite poetry right, it will cost me my life."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

It's a pity that this touching scene of brothers meeting happily was quickly destroyed by a yin owl's voice: "Fifth prince, you don't invite us to sit in the county office." ”

Looking at Li Gaopi's smiling appearance, it was difficult for Ma Yun to give him this nominal teacher, who can be regarded as a "happy meeting", to give him a warm bear hug. At the moment, I was a little tired in my heart, but I smiled on my face: "Second brother, please, let's go to the county government to catch up on the old days." As he spoke, he pulled Ma Guangliang and entered the county office side by side.

Seeing that Ma Yunli ignored him, Li Gao's smile froze on his face for a while, his eyes glared at Ma Yun's back coldly, and followed the two into the county office.

When the three of them arrived at the study, the guests and hosts sat down, Li Gao looked left and right, and the sergeant with a knife and arrow in the courtyard, asked with a somewhat nervous face: "Fifth prince, Zhou Tingxue, the county commander of Wangcheng County, where is he now?" ”

Ma Yun glanced at Li Gao quietly, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and the two people on the other side were full of expectation and looked like they were listening attentively, and they couldn't help but wonder, and only said slowly after a while: "Zhou Tingyu, seeing me passing by here, I really stammered, and let the county government let me stay for one night." ”

"Where is the other man now?"

"Lord Li, why do you care so much about a small county order? Hehe, by the way, second brother, I forgot to ask you, why are you not in Changsha, but come to this Wangcheng County? It won't be specifically to pick me up. He laughed as he spoke.

Ma Guangliang didn't do anything, the corners of Li Gao's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak with a sneer. I heard someone shouting outside the door, "Lord, I have something important to report." ”

Hearing that it was Li Ergou's voice, Ma Yun hesitated, said goodbye to Ma Guangliang, and walked out.

After that, there was a whisper outside the door, and suddenly another startled voice came: "What? How did he... ”

The person who spoke was none other than Jack Ma!
