Hosokawa Matsuyuki is a very good person, when the little turtle got married, he also gave two exquisite Japanese fans, Ma Du had a good impression of him, but unfortunately now he is lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes, his clothes are open, and there are bloody scratches on his chest and abdomen, and a widow is kneeling aside to hide her face and sob.

Ma Du glanced at the corpse on the ground, and sighed with regret, "It's really pitiful, I haven't seen Hosokawa-kun die for a few days, I'm really jealous of the talent!" ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was standing aside, hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "The envoy of our country, Hosokawa Matsuyuki, was poisoned, and I ask the Hou Ye to make decisions for us." ”

Ma Du nodded and said, "Wait and be relieved, since Hosokawa-kun is in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court naturally can't sit idly by." Yang Shuping went to arrest all the Southern Dynasty envoys and punish them. ”

"Slowly, slowly!" Huang Hao stretched out his arms and hurriedly stopped Ma Du, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle Guo didn't interrogate or ask, why did he arrest the envoy of the Southern Dynasty for punishment." ”

"What's so good to judge this, the envoy of the Northern Dynasty was poisoned, who else benefited from it except for the Japanese and Southern Dynasties, who else could do it if they didn't do it."

"Uh...... Uncle Guo seems to be reasonable, but he is convicted without evidence, and it may be difficult to convince the public. ”

Yang Shuping said: "The evidence is easy to say, wait for me to whip down for a while, and ensure that all the evidence is available." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from behind him, "What a big dog! In broad daylight, you dare to speak wildly, wanting to torture to extract a confession, and see that the old man will impeach you if he does not do it. ”

Ma Du turned around and saw Liu Ji standing behind him, looking very unhappy, Ma Du smiled and said, "It turned out to be Lord Zhongcheng, what wind blew you here." ”

"Why can't I come, this official is the head of the official and has the responsibility of supervision, there is such a thing in Honglu Temple, can't you come and take a look."

"Yes, of course!" Ma Du pointed to the corpse and said, "Just look! ”

Since beating Li Shanchang and returning to his hometown, Hu Weiyong became the prime minister, Liu Ji has not been discouraged but has become more active.

This shit-stirring stick really came prepared, and he also brought a shit, which took a silver needle and tried it on the corpse, and said to Liu Ji: "Lord Huizhongcheng, the throat and stomach of the corpse are blackened with a silver needle, and they are indeed poisoned and died, and it should have been dead for less than an hour." ”

Liu Ji pointed to the unfinished food on the table with his chin, and he changed a silver needle to test the food one by one, and tried half a bowl of porridge, and the silver needle turned black again.

"Lord Zhongcheng, this bowl of porridge is poisonous."

Liu Ji nodded and motioned for him to retreat, and asked, "Where did this porridge come from?" "Look at his posture, he is going to try the case on the spot.

Huang Hao, the secretary of Honglu Temple, stepped forward and replied: "Lord Huizhongcheng, the food and drink of the envoys are all supplied by the kitchen of the government office, and a pot of sweet potato porridge must be boiled in the kitchen every day, and everyone up and down the government office must drink a bowl of it, and it is not poisoned in the kitchen, otherwise the people in this yamen are afraid that they will be poisoned to death." ”

The widow who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly said a word, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his head and said, "Mahou, this is Hosokawa-kun's maid, she said that Hosokawa-kun had added a spoonful of icing sugar before drinking porridge." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said and pointed to a small half-hidden clay pot on the table, which contained half a jar of snow-white frosting, and re-took the silver needle and tested it inside, and it was really poisonous.

Ma Du said to Yang Shuping: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you quickly control the envoys of the Southern Dynasty and search their rooms to see if there is any poison." ”

"Wait!" Liu Ji spoke out again, "Why does Xuan Zhong keep an eye on the envoys of the Southern Dynasty. ”

"Didn't you say just now, the envoys of the Northern Dynasty were poisoned, of course, the Southern Dynasty benefited the most, don't stare at who they nailed! Yang Shuping, go quickly! ”

"Whoa!" Yang Shuping answered and went out of the house, beckoning his subordinates to rush outside to watch the lively envoys of the Southern Dynasty and their residences.

Ma Du followed and just got out of the house when he was grabbed by the arm, turned his head and said, "I said, Mr. Liu, what are you going to do?" My title is higher than yours, and you don't have the rules to do this. ”

Liu Jisheng dragged him to the corner of the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "Why did the emperor send troops to the country? ”

"Huh? You know that too? ”

"What can I hide from the old man, today's officials of the Honglu Temple suddenly entered the hall to report the poisoning and death of the Japanese envoys, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are like you to direct the target to the envoys of the court, and one by one they jumped out and shouted and shouted to kill, and even many people suggested that the emperor send troops to the southern dynasty of the Japanese kingdom to shame. Originally, the old man was also angry, but when the emperor said that you should take someone from the pro-military governor's mansion to verify, he knew that there was something greasy in it, so he came to take a look. ”

"Oh, Mr. Liu is worthy of being a divine military master, I believe you can guess that this is what the emperor meant, don't be a-stirring stick anymore, let me go, don't delay me to frame the envoys of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom."

Liu Ji not only didn't let go, but pulled it tighter, "You dare to announce this kind of thing openly, and the old man doesn't bother to care about you when you are doing evil overseas." Why did you instigate the emperor to send troops to the Japanese country, the previous dynasty had two conquests of the Japanese and returned defeated, there is history as a reference, why follow in the footsteps of the Mengyuan Dynasty. ”

"Kublai Khan was confused for a while, and let the Goryeo stick build a ship for him, and it is strange that the ship will not sink in the event of a strong wind." The Yuan Dynasty's two expeditions to Japan were defeated, and the pig teammates Goryeo helped a lot.

Ma Du arched his hand and said: "The younger generation is young and can't wait for death, although he hasn't done anything good overseas, but you can rest assured that he will never do anything harmful to the Ming Dynasty." You and Hu Weiyong are fighting for power and profit, probably not welcome me to get involved. ”

Liu Ji snorted coldly, "Don't slander the old man, the old man is completely out of a public heart, and none of the people impeached on the above table have been wronged." ”

"Is it really out of the public heart? But among the so many people you impeached, why didn't there be any Zhedong Gang, these scholars really learned the words of the saints and became sanctified? ”

Ignoring Brother Ji's red stool face, Ma Du turned around and entered the courtyard of the envoys of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, and the people of the mission were pressed to the ground one by one, one of them had been separated, and his head was still rolling on the ground, and several Japanese women with pale faces shrank in the corner of the wall and shivered, and the guards guarding them put their hands into the wide kimonos to show comfort.

The envoy of the Southern Dynasty was pulled out and thrown on the ground, and said to Yang Shuping with a sad face: "Why did the general draw a sword against us, but what is the misunderstanding?" "I don't know if there is more contact with traitors, and the envoys of the Southern Dynasty speak more standard Chinese.

Yang Shuping sneered: "Don't pretend to be confused, thinking that we don't know that you poisoned the envoys of the Northern Dynasty!" ”

"Wronged! Although our dynasty has a vendetta with the Northern Dynasty, we will never dare to do anything wrong in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and we ask the general to investigate it. ”

A guard handed over the small clay pot found from the house, and Yang Shuping fell directly to the ground, "The envoy of the Northern Dynasty just ate the white sugar mixed with arsenic and was poisoned, and this white sugar was found in your house and dare to deny it." ”

"General, this white sugar is ordinary white sugar, absolutely not adulterated, the little envoy ate it at breakfast, don't believe me to eat it for you!" In order to prove his innocence, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty directly grabbed a handful of white sugar on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it directly into his stomach, and opened his mouth wide to show Yang Shuping, proving that he really ate it, so he really died.

"Tut-tut...... Why don't you stop him and let him commit suicide in fear of sin, now there is no confession, beware of the emperor's punishment of your unfavorable crimes. ”

"Seeing that his death is similar to that of the envoys of the Southern Dynasty, it can be regarded as conclusive evidence, not to mention that there are still many living mouths here, and I am afraid that there is no evidence, so I will be escorted to the pro-army Governor's Mansion for severe interrogation, and those few widows will sell the Qinhuai River in exchange for a few wine money."

"Are you sure your men can understand the Japanese language?"

Yang Shuping said with a smile: "If you don't understand it, it's not the same as being arranged by a subordinate official." ”

Yang Shuping escorted people away, and when Ma Du came out, he saw Ashikaga Yoshimitsu standing outside the door, and bowed and said, "Thank you two adults for avenging our grievances!" ”

Madu pulled him up and patted him on the shoulder, "I will be sent by the emperor, you should thank the emperor if you want to, and I will be summoned soon." ”

"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will never forget." After thanking Madu again, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu bowed and retreated.

A voice next to him asked, "Is this a chess piece in the emperor's chessboard?" Isn't it too small to be usable? ”

You don't need to look at it to know that it is Liu Ji, Ma Du replied: "He has too many eyes, so I'm afraid he won't be able to take it." It is estimated that he has not realized how to be a chess piece, and he may think that he is a chess player like Nanako! ”
