In the face of the raging demon dragon, the butterfly's small wings are too thin, and I am afraid that it will prevent Lao Zhu from killing.

Lao Zhu also knew that it was impossible to wipe out all the people involved in the empty seal, and set the tone of only punishing the "first evil", and estimated that there would be a lot of vacancies in the political envoys, prefects, and counties of the Ming Dynasty.

These Ma Du had already expected it, he just didn't understand why Lao Zhu would use him as a gunman, as the emperor only needed to make a look a bunch of accomplices and lackeys rush out, Hu Weiyong did a good job, but why did he put him on the fire to roast, fortunately he was clever enough not to fall into Lao Zhu's trap.

"Master Hou thinks too much, you are a relative, the emperor treats you as his own family, who will not ask you for help if there is something!" This is Lao Liu's explanation to Ma Du, I hope Lao Zhu really thinks so.

Ma Du did not return to the countryside, he felt that Lao Zhu would definitely call him into the palace to scold him, or listen to him talk about how to build a more perfect financial system, and stay in the city without having to go all the way again.

But after waiting for a few days, he didn't see anyone in the palace looking for him in the palace, and he didn't know whether Lao Zhu let him go or gave up on him, which made him mumble in his heart.

Ying Tiancheng has been in the same mood as he has been in the same mood for the past two days, even in the middle of the night, he heard someone galloping on the street, and the sound of horses' hooves knocking on the bluestone road was very loud, which was enough to wake people up in the middle of the night, and they didn't need to look to know which state and county Jinyiwei had arrested people from in Beijing.

I envy Zhang Wuliu's sleep, this kind of heartless person is as sweet as a knife that can sleep like a knife, completely unaffected, Ma Du often can't fall asleep until almost dawn, "Master Hou is almost noon, you get up quickly, wash your face, let's eat on the street, the little ones are dying of hunger." ”

There are a few old servants living in the house, and their cooking skills are average, and they have been eating in the market for the past two days. Ma Du put on his clothes, washed his face, called Lao Liu in the doorroom, and walked to the restaurant he usually went to.

Jin Yiwei's actions in the past few days have made the street depressed a lot, and after walking for a long time, he didn't even meet a hawker selling along the street, and the pedestrians on the road were also in a hurry, going to the remote alleys to drill, it seems that Jin Yiwei's murderous reputation has spread.

There was a clatter of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw the brocade guard escorting a row of prisoner carts towards this side, and inside were unkempt prisoners.

Ma Du muttered softly, "Jinyiwei's movements are quite fast, I don't know where to catch another batch." ”

Lao Liu said: "Master Hou is not just arrested, he is going to be sent to the court, you see that he is covered with blood, obviously he has been tortured, and there are family members behind the prisoner car to see him off." ”

Zhang Wuliu pointed to one of the prisoner cars, "Master Hou is the county magistrate of Jiangning County, and the last time he visited our house, he gave me silver, so I knew that he was a corrupt official." ”

"You know!" Lao Liu slapped the second son-in-law on the head, "Hand over the silver!" ”

"I confiscated it and was taken by the concierge grandson"

"You idiot, why don't you take the money!" Lao Liu was so angry that he slapped him twice on the head again.

Jiangning Zhixian is a very good official, and he has always been very supportive of academies, workshops and trading markets, especially the real estate business of the Ma family, and he also promoted the planting of sweet potatoes in Jiangning as seeds to sell elsewhere.

Although he asked Ma Du for some supply of glass soap, it was not harmful to the people, and in general, it was a benefit to one party.

It is understandable that other prefectures and counties use empty seals, Jiangning County Ya is two or three miles away from the household department, which door is used to the empty seal, eighty percent is the old example left by the previous dynasty to use it habitually, looking at his blank and empty eyes, it is estimated that he does not understand why he will be so headed.

"It's a pity!" Madu shook his head and sighed, lamenting the loss of a good partner.

Zhang Wuliu urged: "Master Hou, let's hurry up, the little one is hungry, and when he arrives on the second floor of the restaurant, he can see the head of the vegetable market." ”

Seeing others cut off their heads can still eat, except for butchers like Chang Yuchun, there are only such heartless people.

"Today, the head of the vegetable market is cut off, the business of the small shop is too good, but Hou Ye's is in the private room on the second floor, and the small one doesn't dare to let others sit, please go upstairs!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant greeted him attentively and personally led Ma Du to the private room on the second floor.

"Another one who eats blood steamed buns." Ma Du muttered, and sat down in the private room on the second floor, "According to the previous dishes, hurry up, Benhou will leave after eating in a hurry." ”

Zhang Wuliu sent the tea bowl to Ma Du, "Doesn't Master Hou like to watch people kill their heads?" ”

Through the window, Madu looked at a wide intersection not far away, where the usual government executes prisoners, who had already been pulled out of the prisoner cart and knelt on the ground one by one, about a dozen people, each of whom stood next to the executioner in red clothes, wrapped in a red scarf and holding a large knife.

Under a makeshift shed, a person in a red flying fish suit could be vaguely seen sitting upright behind the desk, unable to see clearly, anyway, it was not Han Chengcheng but Yang Shuping. Of course, the most people are watching the lively people regardless of the scorching sun, one by one stretching their necks and waiting for the good show in Cairo.

"Haven't you seen enough head-killing in the battle formation?"

"Well, it's different, I don't know how to say it, otherwise how can so many people like to watch the head of the killing, anyway, they love to watch the head of the official."

"Close the window and don't look at it, let's go back to Fangshan after eating!"

The guy brought the wine and food to the table, "Master Hou use it slowly, if you have any orders, just say hello, thank you Master Hou!" Xi Zizi took a few copper coins from Lao Liu and withdrew from the door.

Suddenly, I heard him scolding impatiently outside the door, "How did you come up and tell you that there is no private room upstairs." ”

I only heard a familiar voice say: "The old man doesn't need to eat, please find a place for the little brother, so that I can see the intersection!" ”

"Today is the big field, and the private room facing the street is already full, and it's useless for you to give me money."

Ma Du put down the tea bowl and got up to open the door and said to the door: "If Mr. Liu doesn't dislike it, go to Benhou's room and sit down." ”

It wasn't Liu Ji standing outside the door, I saw him wearing an old robe, like a poor scholar, no wonder the guy didn't take a look at him.

Liu Ji was also overjoyed to see Ma Du, "It turned out to be Xuanzhong, it's a coincidence, the old man can be bothered." ”

Seeing this, the guy hurriedly apologized, Liu Ji's generation of cattle naturally would not be as knowledgeable as him, Lao Liu saw that it was Liu Ji who came in, so he got up and said: "Master Hou, I and five or six go outside to guard." ”

Liu Ji pushed open the window to look at the intersection and said, "I didn't expect that Ma Hou also likes to watch people kill their heads, it's really interesting!" ”
