Ma Shiying's life is getting more and more difficult, this prince who doesn't know the truth or falsehood has been supported by more and more ministers, and someone comes every once in a while, asking Ma Shiying to fulfill his original promise - to abolish Emperor Hongguang and make the prince the new emperor.

As for Emperor Hongguang, who was anxious to keep the throne, he didn't have a good face to show him - he had already asked Ma Shiying more than once in private to kill the prince.

The current Ma Shiying is difficult to ride a tiger, and he is in a dilemma. If Emperor Hongguang is abolished, Ruan Dacheng and others, who he relies on, will definitely turn against him; If Emperor Hongguang is not abolished, Shi Kefa and Zuo Liangyu's Donglin Party members threatened him to send troops to Qingjun's side.

Actually, after calming down, Ma Shiying thought about one thing clearly, I'm afraid that this so-called southbound prince was found by the Donglin Party to deal with him. Now he has to be very careful with every step, which will be related to whether he can still call the wind and rain in the future and continue to sit firmly in his position as the first assistant.

"My lord, Huang Shu, the overseer of the army, asks to see you." Ma Shiying, who was about to take a break, heard the name, and his head grew again.

"Go out and tell him, and say that I am taking a nap and that it is not fit to meet guests."

Speaking of this Huang Shu, relying on Zuo Liangyu's support, he has never taken himself seriously, for a little military salary, he has come here several times to make trouble, this time, I'm afraid I'm here to collect debts again.

Ma Shiying had just greeted his subordinates, and a man wearing armor and looking like an officer had already broken in outside the door.

A casually grown beard, inserted in a black face, a pair of big copper bell-like eyes stared round, and a fat body, how to look at it, I thought it was the reincarnation of a black whirlwind. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Ma Shiying, you come out for me, don't think you just need to hide, you owe us half a year's military salary, when will you pay it?" If you don't give it again, the sergeants will rebel. ”

Ma Shiying rushed up angrily, since Ma Shiying became the first assistant, no one dared to call him by his name like this, which made Ma Shiying very unhappy.

"Huang Shu, you don't have Zuo Liangyu's backing, you can be full of nonsense here, be careful that I report to the emperor and treat you for the crime of rebellion."

Ma Shiying pointed at Huang Shu from a distance and shouted.

"Ma Shiying, our 800,000 army helped you guard the gate against the Qing soldiers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but you had fun in the palace every day, and you still withheld the salary of our army and never paid it, you said, aren't you trying to force us to rebel?"

Huang Shu is not afraid of Ma Shiying, now all the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are all under the command of Zuo Liangyu, which can be said to be dominant, even if it is He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and Yuan Jixian, the governor, they are respectful to them, and they dare not slack off at all. They are the current reliance of the Ming Dynasty and the last barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

"Huang Jianjun, didn't the official tell you? Now that the treasury is empty, let you settle the military pay yourself? ”

Ma Shiying held back the anger in his heart, now is a sensitive period, and he doesn't want to offend Zuo Liangyu.

"Empty treasury? In the name of draft girls, you eunuchs search for people's fat and ointment everywhere, hold night banquets every day, sing and dance, and make the people hear. Now that the prince has returned, you are still 'tyrannizing the pit and not', and you don't let me return to orthodoxy, you really want to rebel. ”

"You..." Ma Shiying was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Just as the two of them were staring at each other and fighting fiercely, a family member ran in.

"Master, Lord Ruan is here."

"Hahaha, it's just in time, a nest of snakes and rats is complete."

"General Huang, didn't I tell you to go back and listen to the news? Why are you here again? ”

Huang Shu had just finished taunting Ma Shiying, and a person walked in outside the door, with a white and pure face, speaking in a loud voice, and looking at the costume, he was a eunuch in the palace.

"Ruan Dacheng, you have made me wait for half a year, and you have to give me an explanation today."

In front of Ma Shiying, the three words Ruan Dacheng made him unable to hang his face, and in the heart of being a eunuch, what he minded most was the disrespect of others for him.

"Huang Shu, you're going to do the opposite, come on, take him down for me, and treat him for the crime of disrespect."

Ruan Dacheng is not like Ma Shiying, he is a person who is used to walking sideways, and whoever sees it in the court is not allowed to give some face, but this Huang Shu does not know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to openly offend him.

Hearing Ruan Dacheng's call, four brocade guards with knives rushed in from outside, and all of a sudden, surrounded Huang Shu.

"Ruan Dacheng, you're going to turn your face." After all, Huang Shu is the one who leads the troops to fight, and these people can't scare him.

"I'll just turn my face, how's it going?" This is in Nanjing, it is Ruan Dacheng's territory, Ruan Dacheng stuck one hand in his waist, pointed at Huang Shu's nose with the other, and scolded fearlessly.

Huang Shu was unhurried, two fingers reached into his mouth, and a piercing whistle sounded. Immediately outside the door, there was the sound of neat footsteps.

"I'm going to see who of us can't get out of here today."

With the sound of footsteps, there was a sound of swords unsheathed outside the door, and two rows of fully armed soldiers rushed in, and immediately surrounded the four brocade guards.

"You, you, you're really going to do the opposite." Ruan Dacheng saw the sudden change in the situation, and screamed angrily.

"My lords, why bother? Put away all your weapons and listen to me, okay? Ma Shiying originally wanted to watch the excitement from the side, but now when she saw that the situation was not right, she hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege.

"Huang Jianjun, you misunderstood, Lord Ruan is here to discuss the matter of military salary with me, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory reply this time."

"Lord Ruan, don't you tell the Jinyi guard to put away the weapons." Ma Shiying prevaricated Huang Shu with words first, and immediately turned his head again, winking at Ruan Dacheng and saying.

"Yes, Master Ma and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation this time. Stand down for me, a few of you. "What kind of person is Ruan Dacheng, what he is best at is to observe words and colors, and see the wind and rudder.

"Huang Jianjun, you find a place to rest first, and after I discuss with Lord Ruan, I will definitely notify you later today, okay?"

Ma Shiying saw that the swords were all put away, but no one had left yet, so he could only smile all over his face and smile at Huang Shumei.

As soon as he saw Huang Shu withdrawing from Ma Shiying's mansion with his soldiers, Ruan Dacheng couldn't hold back any longer.

"Master Ma, this Huang Shu relies on Zuo Liangyu's support, and he doesn't take you and me in his eyes more and more, and if he doesn't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid, he is going to ride on our heads."

"Lord Ruan, don't be angry, don't be angry, as the saying goes, 'a good man doesn't suffer losses in front of him,' in that situation just now, you will only end up losing both, and in the end, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, so why should you and I be in a hurry."

"Master Ma, having said that, but now that the Donglin Party is colluding with Zuo Liangyu and using the name of the crown prince, they constantly have to put pressure on the emperor, and if you and I sit still like this, I'm afraid it will only make a child like Huang Shu more unscrupulous."

"What Lord Nguyen said is that it is not okay not to teach them a lesson. It's better for us to take down this Huang Shu tonight, see how Zuo Liangyu reacts, and make plans in the future. ”

In fact, Ma Shiying also had a sigh of anger in his heart, he had to find someone to come out now, Huang Shu could be said to be hitting the muzzle of the gun.

"Okay, I'll go back now, transfer all the brocade guards, and take down this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky at night."
