came out of Zhang Minzhu, Ma Du went straight to the Navy Yamen, naturally to find out the tone, not only for Liu Ji or Zhang Minzhu, but also for himself.

The Navy Yamen is no longer the dilapidated houses of the past, a huge house, although not gorgeous but tall and majestic, with a faint sense of slaughter.

The gate of the yamen is closed and guarded, it can be said that it is five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, but in Ma Du's opinion, this is very abnormal, with the fierce name of the navy in Penghu, the navy yamen is the palace of the king of Hades, even if only a weak old soldier is sent to guard the door, no one dares to break in.

"Get out of the way, or I'll cut you!" A soldier hurried over and shouted at Mado.

Ma Du raised his leg and kicked him, "Blind your dog's eyes, Lao Tzu is the governor of the navy, and he can't enter his own yamen yet." He said and flashed the waist card in his hand.

The soldier was also dumbfounded and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "The governor didn't wear an official uniform, and his subordinates didn't recognize it, and asked the governor to punish him." ”

"Forget it, hurry up and open the door!"

The soldier guarding the door said: "Mao has instructed his subordinates not to allow anyone to enter or leave." ”

"Isn't Pontus's words good enough, if you don't open the door again, you will be cut off by the march!"

The soldier guarding the door opened the door for Ma Du, and Ma Du stepped into it to find that the huge naval yamen was empty and quiet, and there was no subordinate officer or scribe to and fro to work.

"What about people?" Madu turned his head and asked the guard at the door.

"Five days ago, Mao asked everyone in the yamen to move to the ship, and strictly ordered that no one should enter, otherwise they would be subject to military law."

Ma Du had a faint bad premonition in his heart, could it be that Qi Xiang and Mao Xiang got the sweetness and wanted to establish themselves as kings in Penghu? Probably not so bold, right?

"It's good for the governor to stay in the front office, in short, don't go to the back office."

Ma Du sneered and asked: "How can Qi Xiang and Mao Xiang still hide in the Houya Golden House." ”

The soldier guarding the door nodded and said, "There are indeed female dependents in the back office, but they should not be the families of the two adults...... You can't go, Governor! ”

"Get out of here!" Ma Du scolded sharply: "Qi Xiang and Mao Xiang are plotting against each other, do you also want to make trouble?" ”

"This ...... Probably not. ”

"The lice on the bald man's head couldn't be more obvious, kill it with the governor of Pontus to ensure that you are promoted and rich!"

These non-commissioned officers are not so easy to fool, and they probably know that the top leader of the navy is a little out of tune, "Governor, you will spare the little one, Mao said that we should dare to enter the back house and engage in military law." ”

"Damn, if you dare to ramble Lao Tzu, I'll cut off your head and go in with Lao Tzu." Ma Du swaggered into the back office, and the guards guarding the door fell far behind.

After passing the Moon Gate, he only walked more than ten steps, and suddenly a person came out and stopped in front of Ma Du, "Xia Guan has seen Master Hou!" ”

"Yang Shuping, why are you here!"

Yang Shuping looked at the soldiers outside the Moon Gate, "This is not the place to talk, Master Hou will come with the officials." ”

Ma Du followed Yang Shuping into the back office, only to find that there were a lot of people hidden in this seemingly peaceful back house, although they were dressed in casual clothes, but the embroidered spring knife in his hand could not hide the identity of Jinyiwei.

Yang Shuping took Ma Du into a courtyard, looking at the little guy Ma Du who was guarding the courtyard gate, his eyes couldn't help but widen, a woman in the courtyard was holding scissors to trim flowers and plants, the figure he was familiar with, Ma Du was shocked and said, "Niangniang...... You...... How are you in Penghu?! ”

The woman turned around, handed the scissors in her hand to the maid beside her, and said with a smile: "Penghu is not your family, can't you come to the palace if you can come?" ”

Ma Du looked around in the courtyard with a pair of eyes, and looked inside the house, but he didn't see Lao Zhu's shadow, "Only Niangniang is here?" ”

"The emperor is naturally here, and today I went to Penghu with Qi Xiang to the west to visit the people. It's hot outside, so let's talk inside. Then he ordered the two maids to serve tea, and turned and went into the house.

Ma Du finally understood why the navy was acting abnormally, they were not coming at Liu Ji or Zhang Minzhu, but to protect Lao Zhu and his family.

It's just that Lao Zhu didn't stay well in Yingtian, why did he come all the way to Penghu? Whether it is inspecting the port or visiting the people, it is not worth Lao Zhu to go so far, so it can only be ......

Ma Du chuckled in his heart, could it be for Lao Tzu? It's impossible, Lao Zhu couldn't have guessed that he would run away, Li Wenzhong would definitely not betray himself, maybe this is just a coincidence, be calm, you must be calm!

"What do you want? I'll talk to you. ”

Ma Du came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "This tea tastes good!" ”

"Who told you this, I asked you if you went to visit the Qinglou, did you think I couldn't care about you when you came out of Yingtian?" Ma Dajia pointed at Ma Du's neck with a loud voice, "Don't wipe it quickly!" ”

Ma Du's sleeve was wiped on his neck, and there was really a faint red mark, naturally it was left by Zhang Minzhu, I don't know if she did it on purpose, if Song Shuang saw it, I am afraid that she will not be safe tonight.

"The younger brother swore that he never went to the Qinglou, in the early years of the fierce battle with the Japanese people in Penghu, he felt lonely and raised the outer room, it was rare to see for many years, and today I can't help it, please punish my sister!"

Ancient housewives were very taboo in the outer room, but they didn't care about their own men visiting the Qinglou, but Ma Dajia was the opposite, hearing Ma Du say this, his face really eased a lot, "Since it's your person, it's better to get it home earlier, once something ugly happens outside, it will only shame the family." ”

"The little brother knows, and I'll arrange it when I go back!" Ma Du picked up the tea bowl and groaned for a while before asking: "When did Niangniang come to Penghu, why didn't you tell your little brother, and we would have a good time to take care of it." ”

Ma Dajia smiled, "It's the last time you came to the palace to see me, the emperor took me out of the palace that night, I lived dozens of years old, and it was the first time to go to such a far place, and my heart was happy along the way, there was nothing bad." ”

"Niangniang didn't get seasick after entering the sea, but the little horse vomited all the way."

"It's really a pity for that child, I'm very good, seeing the sea is blue, deep and vast, but I feel happy in my heart, the depression that has accumulated for many years is swept away, and I have seen a lot of rare things in Penghu, and the scenery here is good, if it is not too humid and hot, I still want to live here."

"Hmm...... Well, the emperor took his mother to Penghu to see the scenery? ”

"Naturally not, how can the emperor have that leisure, this time I came to Penghu to verify how well the steamer ran in the sea, and I also wanted to see what the place where millions of taels of silver were paid to the imperial court every year.

It would be nice if it was really what Ma Dajia said, but Ma Du always felt that things were not so simple.

"What are you doing in Penghu? When you go to the palace, you don't say a word to me. ”

"Well, the little brother came to Penghu to send the big fish, you also know that Chang Mao was named the Marquis of Bo Ni by the emperor, and he can't return to Beijing without an edict, I can't let the big fish stay alive and widowed in Yingtian, so I'm going to send her over, and by the way, I will take the whole family on vacation in Penghu."

Ma Dajia squinted at Ma Du with the tea bowl, and sighed: "If that's the case, then it's fine, I always feel that things are not so simple, you all treat me as an ignorant old woman, and hide everything from me." ”

Seeing that there was a little loneliness between her eyebrows, Ma Du felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly changed the topic and said in a low voice: "By the way, Sister, I still have a great happy event to tell you." ”

"How? Song Shuang is a bad child again? ”

"It's a thousand times more pleasing than that!" Madu leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

Ma Dajia turned his head suddenly, his eyes surprised and delighted, "Really?!" ”

After about a stick of incense, the two of them came out of the house, and Ma Dajia changed into a dress worn by an ordinary woman. The two went straight out of the Moon Gate, and Yang Shuping, who was guarding the door, hurriedly came over and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"The emperor is not here, the palace is idle and bored, and I want to go to Xuanzhong to talk to my younger siblings."

"This ...... Niangniang, this Penghu is mixed, for the sake of Niangniang's safety, it is better not to go out, it is better to invite Mrs. Song. ”

"Your errand is getting better and better!" Ma Dajia said coldly, and walked straight forward.

Yang Shuping didn't dare to stop him, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare carriages and horses, and summoned the Jinyi guards and the naval non-commissioned officers outside the door.

Ma Du stopped and said: "It's only two or three miles from Niangniang to me, are you making such a big battle because you are afraid that others will not know that Niangniang and the emperor are in Penghu?" ”

"What does Master Hou mean?"

"It's simple, get an ordinary carriage, you find five or six skilled people to follow aside, the street is full of civilian patrol naval non-commissioned officers, if you really encounter an emergency, you are afraid that no one will rescue."

"Master Hou is thoughtful, so I'll do as you say."

Then Ma Dajia and the palace maid and eunuch got into the carriage, and Yang Shuping took a few good hands to accompany him all the way, and arrived at Ma Du's residence safely and smoothly.

Yang Shuping whispered to a few people, "Guard the front and back doors, don't let suspicious people in and out!" ”

"Grass mud horse!" Ma Du secretly greeted Yang Shuping in his heart, and then entered the house with Ma Dajiao, and Song Shuang, who had just sat in the hall, came in a panic, "Why did the husband come back now, is that medicine effective?" ”

Of course, the tonic she carefully brewed was effective, but it was a pity that her hard work cheapened the woman next to her. Song Shuang saw the big foot of the horse with the hat and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?" ”

Ma Du made a silent gesture and said softly: "It's Niangniang, hurry up and close the door, don't let people in, little pillar, you go outside the door and guard!" ”

Ma Dajia lifted the hat and said to Song Shuang: "It's the palace!" ”

"Yikes!" Song Shuang was surprised, and then subconsciously covered her mouth again, and hurriedly went to salute Ma Dajiao.

Ma Dajia helped her up with a smile, "It's not that you don't need to be polite in the palace!" ”

"Why did Niangniang come to Penghu too?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, my mother was bored by herself, so I came to look for you."

"The concubine is also a little boring, so it's better to find Lu'er to come over and play mahjong together."

Ma Dajia said: "No need, this palace just came to talk to you and left, it is inconvenient if there are too many people." ”

At the moment, the two of them talked about some very unnutritious topics without a match, and it was hard for them to talk for a quarter of an hour with relish. Ma Dajia suddenly frowned, covering his chest with one hand, and Song Shuang hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"This palace has some pain in my heart!"

Ma Du hurriedly pretended to take the pulse, "Oh, Niangniang is guilty of distress!" ”

Song Shuang exclaimed: "This is amazing, my father died of distress, you should give my mother a diagnosis and treatment!" ”

"I want you to say that it's not convenient to go to the bedroom here!"

At that moment, Song Shuang and the two palace maids helped Ma Dajia to the bedroom, and Ma Du said to Song Shuang and the palace maids: "I will treat Niangniang, I am most afraid of being interrupted halfway, otherwise I will fall ill, you three are watching outside, don't let anyone in." ”

Song Shuang took his sword from the bedside, "Don't worry, husband, even if the king of heaven comes, he will never let him enter the door, you must heal the mother!" ”

When the three of them went out, Ma Du bolted the door and stepped on the chair to push open the back window, "Niangniang, we can act!" ”

Ma Dajia slowly sat up from the bed, "Song Shuang has a pure heart, and I feel guilty for lying to her this time." ”

Ma Du smiled bitterly: "If you tell her the truth, it will be a bad thing. ”
