"Oh, from the Navy?" Lao Zhu subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Ma Du.

Ma Du spread his hands and said that he knew nothing, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Hu Weiyong, the prime minister, thought that Ma Du, the naval governor, was the ruler of the navy.

They don't want to think about the second-in-command and third-in-command of the navy, one is Lao Zhu's personal soldier for many years, and the other is from the former inspection school.

Although Madu can receive a report from the Navy every once in a while, it is out of respect for the old leader. For example, the last time Hu Yanqing's merchant ship was seized, I believe that Lao Zhu had received a report from the navy before him. It was necessary for him to impeach Hu Weiyong at that time, otherwise Lao Zhu would still think that he and Hu Weiyong were wearing the same pants.

Seeing that Ma Du didn't know the situation, Lao Zhu took the secret fold and opened it and there were two books in it, Lao Zhu read it in one breath, his face became gloomy again, and he casually threw the two books to Ma Du, "Look for yourself!" ”

Ma Du took two copies of the fold, first looked at the cover, one was handed by Qi Xiang, which was not surprising at all, after all, Qi Xiang is now the second-in-command of the navy.

What surprised him was another book, it turned out to be the twist and turn of Penghu Zhixian Daotong, but he didn't expect him to fold it from the channel of the navy, it seems that history will not repeat itself.

Madu couldn't wait to see his recital first, and the content in it was like this. Penghu Zhixian Daotong went to the port to inspect without incident, and happened to meet a broken cargo ship sailing into the port.

Daotong is not the kind of person with low eyes, so he immediately asked the port authority to help repair the ship. Who knows that the other party's unreasonable refusal, all kinds of actions are very suspicious.

This made Daotong think that it was a smuggling ship, and immediately sent soldiers and officials to detain it, but who knew that the other party took out weapons to resist, saying that the things on the ship were military funds transported by the imperial court to Guangdong, and the other party also had military documents.

Hearing what the other party said, Dao Tong had to help even more, was there less people who were killed because of the poor teacher? Who knew that the more positive he behaved, the more the other party resisted, and even injured the county officer, which made Daotong more and more suspicious and tougher, and asked to go on board for inspection.

The people on the ship continued to refuse in the name of military secrets, saying that the inspection must be approved by Yongjiahou, and Daotong had no choice but to allow them to send people to Guangdong to ask Zhu Liangzu for orders.

The two places were not far apart, and Zhu Liangzu's second son Zhu Yu soon arrived in Penghu, and the order he brought was not to allow Daotong to board the ship for inspection, but to coerce and induce him to let him go immediately.

If Dao Tong is so easy to coerce, it is not Dao Tong, the more the other party is like this, the more he feels that the catty in it is bigger, and immediately detains Zhu Yu and tells Qi Xiang about the matter.

If others may have to take into account Zhu Liangzu's face, Qi Xiang and Zhu Liangzu had a grudge when they were in the west to conquer Mingxia, and immediately sent the navy to forcibly board the ship for inspection.

There were indeed surprises in this investigation, and more than 1,000 grenades were found in the mezzanine of the cabin, 50 arquebuses, nearly 100 old guns, and 500 catties of black powder with the best ratio.

It must be said that Zhu Liangzu is very good at trading, even in later generations, the arms business is a business that the great powers rush to do, which can be described as huge profits, presumably Zhu Liangzu has made a lot of silver.

But when Zhu Liangzu was happy, Lao Zhu was very angry, and as for Ma Du, he would naturally be very happy, and the matter of his daughter running away from home was immediately put behind him, and he was already thinking about how to celebrate when he went home.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in my ears, "I saw you smile. ”

Ma Du raised his head, only to see Lao Zhu looking at himself directly, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he couldn't help but make people furious, he hurriedly suppressed his smile and said: "The emperor knows that Weichen and Zhu Liangzu have a vendetta, and he will naturally laugh if he is unlucky." ”

"This is from the heart, didn't you enter the palace today just to see Zhu Liangzu's bad luck?" Lao Zhu suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he slapped the table suddenly, "Say!" Was it a trap you set for Zhu Liangzu from the beginning? ”

Ma Du was stunned for a moment and pointed to his nose and said, "The trap that Weichen set up for Zhu Liangzu?" ”

Lao Zhu poured this scoop of dirty water stinky and cold, and it made Ma Du feel excited, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is still this possibility.

first arranged it in Penghu, and then pretended to let the girl run away from home, and exerted influence on Lao Zhu, who was reviewing the secret fold, in the name of the request, desperately preventing Lao Zhu from sending someone to kill Daotong, and also told Lao Zhu that there might be an excerpt that had not arrived, and sure enough, there was one later. The point is that he still has a lot of motives, and it is not surprising that Lao Zhu suspects that he is bad.

Ma Du said curtly: "Hearing the emperor say this, Weichen was frightened by his own scheming. ”

Old Zhu laughed, the dark clouds on his face dispersed, "Hmph, if Zhu Liangzu dies by himself, if there is a conspiracy, you will not be able to get out of it, whoever tells you to say bad things about him in front of me when you get the opportunity." ”

"Whether it was Weichen who set Zhu Liangzu up, the emperor let people know at a check. Although Weichen has some friendship with Qi Xiang, he doesn't have the courage to join forces with Weichen to deceive you.

Whether that batch of military assets was transported to Guangdong by the imperial court or smuggled out of Guangdong can be found out by the Ministry of War, especially the arquebuses are numbered, and there are also records of how many arquebuses there are in Guangdong.

Last time, Zhu Liangzu sold grenades and caused Weichen to become a prisoner of the Japanese Kou, this time he dared to sell arquebuses, it was a self-defeating death, Weichen believes that the emperor will have a judgment! ”

After Ma Du finished speaking, he solemnly shook at Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu laughed and said, "I'm joking with you, see if you're nervous, hurry up." ”

Yuan Sheng walked into the hall and said to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has sent a decree to Jinyiwei, and Governor Han has already ordered people to go to Penghu." ”

"You go to Jinyi Wei again, let Han Cheng withdraw the order, let him come to the Huagai Palace to see me, and have other wills for him!"

"Okay, slave and maid run again!" Yuansheng turned around and wanted to leave, but Lao Zhu stopped him again and pointed at Ma Du, "Take him with you!" ”

Ma Du hurriedly excused himself and said: "Weichen will not be involved in this matter, and it will be tiring to death if you go far away from Guangdong." ”

"I just don't want you to be involved during the investigation of the case by Jinyiwei, and I plan to let you live in the Imperial Prison for a few days, and after the investigation, I can return your innocence."

"Isn't the emperor joking, it's uncomfortable to live in this hot day edict, or you can find a few brocade guards to watch Weichen at home!"

Lao Zhu smiled evilly, "You think I seem to be joking with you, don't worry, the place in the edict is not hot at all, it is cold and cold, I guarantee that the heat will not hurt you." The Jinyi guards outside the hall listened to the order and immediately escorted the Marquis of Jiang Ning to the edict. ”

At that moment, a few brocade guards rushed into the hall, and Ma Du grabbed it and dragged it outside, Ma Du kicked his legs and struggled, "The emperor can't do it, Weichen's family will be in a hurry!" ”

"Don't worry, I will send someone to Fangshan to inform you, and say that you are going to run an errand for me! Haha...... "Seeing that Ma Du outside the hall struggled so much that his shoes fell off, Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing, and Yuan Sheng also covered his mouth and snickered on the side.

Lao Zhu's face suddenly tightened, "Isn't it funny?" Don't hurry up and call Han Cheng! By the way, keep your mouth shut and don't let the queen and the crown prince know! ”

After a long time, the edict has become much more luxurious, not only the rooms have increased, but also many new amusement items. Yang Shuping introduced Ma Du one by one in front, "Master Hou, look, this heavy flail is three hundred catties, as long as people bring it, even if it is copper and iron bones, it will only take ten days and a half months to deform the muscles and bones, and if you don't die, you will become a waste!" ”

Ma Du stretched out his hand and shook the wooden flail, but it didn't pull it, "This wooden flail doesn't look big, it's really heavy!" ”

"That is, this is Yunnan's iron power wood is heavier than iron, I heard that it was sent to Beijing by the Marquis of Xiping, and the emperor kept it useless and threw it to us."

"Looks like you've put a lot of thought into it!"

"What is this! Hou Ye came to see this. Yang Shuping brought Ma Du to something similar to an operating table, but this thing was completely made of iron, and the four corners and chains were probably bound to his hands and feet.

"What is this?"

"It's called frying, tie a prisoner to it and put it on a charcoal fire to roast, and the oil will come out......"

Without waiting for Yang Shuping to finish speaking, Ma Du vomited in his throat, and almost didn't vomit, "Yang Shuping, you are a purely disgusting person!" ”

"Xia Guan just said casually, no one has used this thing yet. Speaking of which, you are also an expert in torture, and you are also well-known in our brocade guards, but I really didn't expect that you couldn't even hold back a sentence. ”

"I still have such a reputation in Jinyiwei? When did I become an expert in torture again? ”

"Master Hou, don't admit it, isn't this your masterpiece?" Yang Shuping pointed to a cross-shaped stool next to him, and there was mulberry paper next to it, and Ma Du knew at a glance that it was used for waterboarding.

"This trick handed down by the Hou Ye is the most useful, it doesn't take much effort to paste a few pieces of paper on the face, and everything is done!" Yang Shuping took down a small hook with a blade on the front from the wall, "I heard that this is also made up by you." ”

"Are you mistaken, this is the first time I've seen anything like this, what is it?"

Yang Shuping gestured to his stomach, "This is a hooked intestine, and the intestines that come out of it when you poke it into the stomach are hooked out with the intestines, I heard that you used this thing when you treated Uncle Tao's carbuncle back then." ”

Slander, this is definitely slander, when Ma Du cut Tao An's appendix, Lao Zhu was the only one by his side, and he saw him smiling with tweezers holding the cut appendix, such a perverted torture instrument could only be invented by him.

Ma Du's reputation is resounding in Jinyiwei, and it will definitely stink in later generations, in the future, these torture tools will not only deal with Xungui but also deal with the official scholars, and I don't know how these scholars will arrange him in the future, Lao Zhu and Yongzheng of the wild boar skin family are to make them stink.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I don't have the appetite to eat when I turn around!"

There are acquaintances who take care of Ma Du naturally will not live in the cell, Yang Shuping cleaned up for him and guarded the room with brocade guards, not to mention that this place is really as cold and cold as Lao Zhu said, it is obviously cooler than installing air conditioning on dog days, and there are more mosquitoes, maybe because there was a lot of blood here in the past.

The most terrifying thing is that there is no prisoner in the edict prison, but there is a whining sound at night, like a ghostly cry, those brocade guards have long been used to it, but Ma Du can't sleep, the next day after studying for a long time, he thinks that there is a problem with the structure of the edict, it is because of the wind, Ma Du asked them to dig another vent and it is gone.

Ma Du's prison meal in the edict prison is still good, and every day the little eunuch brings him a food box, which is the skill of the imperial kitchen, and the brocade guards in charge of guarding it are also stained.

The hardest thing is boredom, there is nothing fun to do except gambling, of course Ma Du will not play anything to throw dice and push pai gow, and play a few laps of horse hanging every day, which is his greatest pleasure.

After twenty days in a row, Han Cheng finally showed up, and first reprimanded a few brocade guards, "Don't think that the governor of Pontus doesn't know what you've been doing these days, and I'll deal with you later." ”

Ma Du hurriedly played a round, "A few of them are also playing with me, don't punish them for the sake of my face." ”

"Since Uncle Guo has interceded for you, I will write this down for the time being, and if you dare to commit it again in the future, you will not be spared!"

Ma Du took out the money bag and a stack of IOUs and slapped them on the table, these are all things he has won these days, "If you have money, go buy some delicious food for your wife and children, don't gamble anymore." Governor Han, let's go see the emperor! ”

Han Cheng smiled and said, "How did Uncle Guo know that the emperor had summoned you." ”

"Twenty days is enough, is it enough for you to go to Guangdong for a round trip? The case is closed? ”

"The evidence is conclusive, just waiting for the emperor's words. Let's go, the emperor is waiting! ”

Han Cheng led Ma Du into the palace through the side door, and then went straight to the Huagai Palace, and before he got to the place, he heard a crackling whip, and saw that Lao Zhu in front of the Huagai Hall was waving a whip and whipping the two people on the ground, and his mouth let out an angry roar from time to time.

You don't have to guess to know that it is Zhu Liang's grandfather and son on the ground, and everything is staged as in history, but Zhu Liangzu's eldest son is now replaced by Zhu Liangzu's second son.

I haven't seen Zhu Liangzu for a long time, he has gray hair and seems to have aged a lot, he has been pampered for a few years, and his originally burly and majestic figure has also begun to be blessed.

The white clothes on his body have been drawn by Lao Zhu at this moment, and it is clearly visible that on the flesh and skin, the whip marks of the half-inch body are densely covered all over the body, which can be said to be dripping with flesh and blood.

To Ma Du's surprise, Zhu Liangzu gritted his teeth and didn't scream, he was really a tough guy. Lao Zhu seemed to be getting more and more angry when he saw his appearance, and said coldly: "In the end, it is the person who can make Chang Yuchun suffer, there is really a kind!" ”

Lao Zhu ignored Zhu Liangzu, turned his head and waved the whip in his hand at Zhu Yu, and with a snort, Zhu Yu's white clothes cracked out, and a bloody whip mark immediately appeared.

Zhu Yu is not his old son, a complete gentleman, although he has a military position and can see the battle, he may not be as much as Ma Du. Zhu Liangzu was no longer calm, he just got up and kowtowed to the ground, "Weichen is guilty, please ask the emperor to spare the dog's life by remembering the little merit in the past!" ”
