Chapter 672: Lao Zhu's suspicion
Hu Weiyong's words were quite effective, as soon as he gave the order, those soldiers blocked Ma Du's way, and a few men in strong suits with knives came out of the Moon Gate.
"You are really blinded by lard, you actually listened to the words of a little prime minister, intercepted a super-grade marquis, and then don't get out of the way, beware of my head collapsing your melon seeds!" Zhang Wuliu said as he took out the fire gun pinned to his waist and pointed at the soldiers in front of him.
Bing Ding just estimated that he was also subconsciously obeying the order, but he immediately came back to his senses, no matter how great the prime minister's power is, it is just a product, and the marquis of the super grade is still a relative of the emperor, and he is not blinded by lard.
"Master Hou forgives the sin, the villain will make way for you!" A soldier immediately asked his subordinates to give way, but the few men in strong suits with knives were still motionless, it seemed that these were not ordinary nurses, but his mother's dead soldiers.
"If you don't get out of the way, I'm really going to shoot!" Zhang Wuliu pointed a gun at the other party and shouted loudly.
"Five or six, it's useless for you to tell them this, it's better to change the target!" Ma Du grabbed Zhang Wuliu's wrist and turned the head of the gun and pointed it directly at Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong, who was full of anger, looked stunned, and then scolded: "What about your super marquis?" This official is the confidant of the prime minister and the emperor of the current dynasty......"
Boom! What answered him was a muffled sound, and there was immediately a hole with green smoke on Hu Weiyong's black yarn, hanging crookedly on his head.
The small courtyard was like a pan of hot water poured into the oil pot, and the servants who were preparing blood screamed in panic and fled in all directions, and Hu Weiyong fled to the house after a short period of shock.
The men in the strong suits looked at each other, probably thinking about whether to kill Ma Du and do their duty as a dead soldier, but they didn't dare to move without their master speaking.
Ma Du slowly loaded the ammunition and said to the soldiers of Zhongshu Province: "The brothers have returned to Zhongshu Province, I am afraid that there are small shoes that cannot be worn and there is no good fruit to eat, so open the way for Benhou, and I will arrange an errand for you when I come back." ”
The soldier was worried because he had offended Hu Weiyong, and when he heard that Ma Du had arranged an errand for them, he immediately felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the soldier pulled his waist knife and shouted: "Brothers, protect the Hou Ye out, whoever dares to stand in the way will cut him, and the Hou Ye will bear his life." ”
His mother's soldier leader is not stupid, Ma Du scolded secretly, held the fire gun in his hand, and directly aimed at the dead soldiers blocking the moon gate, "If you want to die, just stand still honestly." ”
Hu Weiyong didn't plan to rebel now, and the dead soldiers didn't seem to plan to die now, so they reluctantly made way for Ma Du, and several soldiers held knives to open the way in front and escort Ma Du out of Hu's mansion.
Zhang Wuliu put Hu San's body on horseback, "Master Hou, where are we going?" ”
"Didn't you say it, go to Tianfu to complain!"
"I'm afraid that Ying Tianfu won't dare to take this case, or let's go to the Criminal Department."
"Five or six is not stupid at all, Ying Tianfu doesn't dare to take it, so the criminal department dares to take it? If the emperor doesn't nod his head, who dares to take this case, but Ben Hou can't see the murder and not report it, so he has to go through the procedure. ”
As Ma Du said, Hu Weiyong is now in power, and Lao Zhu is favored, Lao Zhu does not let go of his words to set the tone, who dares to go to the following criminals to arrest the court.
Everything was as he expected, Ma Du personally sounded the drum of grievances in front of the Ying Tianfu Ya, and the Ying Tian Governor personally welcomed Ma Du to the yamen, served tea and entertained him, and vowed to arrest the murderer and give Ma Hou Ye an explanation.
But when he heard that the murderer was Hu Weiyong, the prefect was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and asked Ma Du if he was mistaken?
"How could Ben Hou be wrong? In addition to my long entourage, there are also seven or eight pairs of eyes that have seen it, and these are all soldiers on duty in Zhongshu Province. Now that the corpse and murder weapon are also there, you can go to Hufu to search for people now, maybe you can find bloody clothes. ”
Ying Tianzhifu thought that he was clever and thought that this Marquis of Jiang Ning, who had just been reinstated, was ready to make a big move, and asked tentatively: "Marquis Ma told the truth to the lower officials, do you want to show your skills in the court?" There is a Korean prince behind Hu Weiyong, and he has the emperor's trust, who are you here? Wei Guogong, or Zheng Guogong? Or both? Ying Tianzhi's bright eyes vaguely seemed to be eager to try, I don't know if he is thinking about how to stand in line.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Governor Yao, there is no one behind me, Hu Weiyong unjustly killed the people, this marquis, as an official of the court, should do his duty as a courtier, how can he not report it."
The expression in the prefect's eyes immediately changed, and he said with an embarrassed face: "Master Hou, you are roasting the lower official frame on the fire, the lower official is a small prefect, how can you catch the prime minister once, I'm afraid you can't even enter the door!" ”
"It's one thing to catch it or not, and it's another thing to go or not! Hurry up and record a confession to Ben Hou, it's not too early, and you have to go home. “
"Thank you Master Hou for your advice!" Ying Tianzhifu turned his head and ordered: "Let the wardening officer bring a few officials to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask someone for questioning!" ”
"Slippery head!" Ma Du cursed in his heart.
Ying Tian's prefect spent about a stick of incense to personally record Ma Du's confession, and sent him outside the mansion, just in time to meet the prison wardens coming back with the officials, all with blue noses and swollen faces, they didn't need to ask to know what happened, they also said that Hu Fu died and was planning a funeral.
Hu Yanqing is really dead, and now he has a grudge with Hu Weiyong, and he can't solve the knot.
Ma Du looked at the worried soldiers, "If you are familiar with the water and are not afraid of seasickness, Benhou can arrange for you to join the navy and be stationed in Penghu and Zhoushan in the future." If it is too far away, it is inconvenient to take care of the family, so I will arrange for you to go to defend the city, which is managed by Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, and Hu Weiyong can't reach out. ”
Ma Du originally thought that they should go to defend the city, but who knew that they would all join the navy, because the navy was well treated, and they could get a lot of land when they arrived in Penghu.
After returning home, Ma Du did not mention what happened in Hufu, and after eating, he went to the old loach's yard and told him about Li Zhen's condition.
The old loach sighed for a while after hearing it, "I really didn't expect that Brother Li was leaving, I will go to see him tomorrow, it can be regarded as a farewell." ”
"The second grandfather doesn't need to bring any gifts, my grandson has a few bottles of medicine here to help him relieve his pain, you can just take it a little bit at that time."
"Okay!" The old loach sighed and sat down on the rocking chair, opened his mind and gently fanned the wind with a pu fan, "Brother Li has lived seventy-five, which can be regarded as a long life." Speaking of which, I'm almost seventy, and I don't know how many years I have left to live. ”
"Second grandfather, you are in good health, what are you talking about?" Hearing Zhu Sheng say something similar some time ago, Ma Du felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
"Huh...... Are the loess buried to the neck of the people, what can not be said, I have enjoyed more than ten years of happiness with you, now the girl boy is married, there is nothing to worry about, to the age of the earth to go, I recently want to let the carpenter give me a shoucai mile, to be large and spacious, used to live in a big house coffin small not used to it, in the future I will bury me on the mountain, a look down can see the family ......"
"Second grandfather!" Mado interrupted unhappily.
"Don't say it, if I don't say it, it's ......" There was a sudden sound in the room, as if a tea bowl was broken, and the old loach smiled and said: "It's a cat, I just raised a kitten, and it's very noisy." ”
Ma Du felt that his worries were superfluous, the old loach had such a good body, and it would be no problem to live another one or twenty years old.
"Ahh Lao Zhu sneezed heavily, reached out and took the handkerchief handed by Yuan Sheng and wiped his nose, "It's good to be slow if you get caught in the wind and cold this summer, and my body is not as good as before." ”
Throwing the handkerchief to Yuan Sheng, Lao Zhu took a book of folds and continued to correct it, and just opened it and glanced at it, he couldn't help frowning, turned his head and asked Yuan Sheng, "Hu Weiyong's son is dead?" ”
This book is Hu Weiyong's urgent performance, not a major event in the court, but a leave of absence to treat his son's funeral.
Yuan Sheng shook his head blankly, "When will it be?" ”
Lao Zhu said angrily: "I asked you, but you asked about me." ”
"Don't worry, the emperor won't be in a hurry, and Governor Han will come back to explain to you...... Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. ”
There was a familiar sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then I saw Han Cheng walking into the hall quickly, kneeling down and saying, "Weichen greets the emperor." ”
"Get up." Lao Zhu asked straight to the point: "Hu Weiyong's son is dead?" How did he die? ”
Han Cheng was surprised and said: "The emperor actually knew first, and Weichen asked the emperor to punish him for his dereliction of duty." ”
"Hu Weiyong's rush from Zhongshu Province is unbiased, and the speed is not comparable to that of Jinyiwei's sneaky delivery of news." Lao Zhu stretched out his hand, "Let's show me the details." ”
Han Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a wax pill, Lao Zhu quickly stretched out his hand, only glanced at it and snorted coldly: "Hu Weiyong's son deserves this retribution." ”
Lao Zhu scolded, lowered his head and continued to look down, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of gloom, "Hu Weiyong is really bold and treats the people like grass mustard, heh, this bastard is not small, he dares to shoot Hu Weiyong in the head, he can take the corpse to the Tianyamen to complain, and he is a bit of a teacher, but I didn't nod who dared to arrest Hu Weiyong." ”
Lao Zhu casually put the note on the candle, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a wisp of ashes, "Han Cheng asked Jinyiwei to keep an eye on it carefully, who went to mourn in the past few days, and recorded them one by one in order." ”
Han Cheng smiled and said: "Don't bother the emperor, Wei Chen has already ordered the people below to do it, and he has already sorted out the people who went to mourn after dark." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Lao Zhu only glanced at it and sneered, "I really can't imagine it, the first person to go to mourn is Song Jinglian's eldest grandson, Han Cheng, your people are not mistaken." ”
"Back to the emperor, there is absolutely no mistake, listening to the report of his subordinates, Song Shen cried in front of Hu Yanqing's spirit, it was very painful. However, the two have a good relationship, often drinking together and prostitutes, and it is natural for the death of their friends to be heartbroken. This should have nothing to do with Bachelor Song, and Song Shen was severely reprimanded by Bachelor Song after returning home. ”
Lao Zhu smiled hesitantly: "Song Lian knows that there are spies from Jinyiwei in his house, maybe he is acting for me to see." ”
