Chapter 191: Calculation
The motor nodded sharply.
"You, how could you?" Ma Gan said, look at Lin Hualang, then look at a few officials, and finally look back at the miserable motor.
"It's hard to say a word, I beg my brother to let my uncle take my life." The motor said vaguely.
As soon as Lin Hualang heard that the voice was wrong, he hurriedly asked the officials to drive the prisoner car away.
Ma Gan stopped in front again.
"Hey, get out of the way, it's a sin to obstruct official business."
A servant shouted.
Ma Gan put on a smiling face and took out a few taels of silver to give to the officer. The official looked at Lin Hualang, and Lin Hualang said, "Leave him alone, let's go." ”
"Yes."
The official beat the horse and continued to walk, but Ma Gan had to get out of the way and watched the prisoner car go away. He hurriedly ran home and told Ma Shifan about this time. Ma Shifan, who was shocked, sat on the chair and was stunned for a long time. He asked Ma Ganke what the reason was. Ma Qian shook his head in frustration.
"Qian'er, hurry up and send someone to prepare a car for me." Ma Shifan got up and commanded in a trembling voice.
"Yes."
Ma Gan went to call the little guy to prepare the car. Ma Shifan simply changed his clothes.
"Father, the child will go with you." Ma Qian said.
"Okay, then I will go with my father to the goods and see the superintendent." Ma Shifan said and walked out.
Ma Gan followed, and asked, "Father, why don't you go directly to the Zhizhou Yamen." ”
"Qian'er, you also know that my father and Lord Zhizhou can't talk, and now only Guo Dequan can help us." Ma Shifan lowered his head and got into the carriage.
"Go to the cargo business." Ma Gan got into the car and instructed the coachman.
"Rack!"
The carriage sped away.
"Qian'er, the most important thing now is to find out what crime your cousin has committed." Ma Shifan said.
"Father, I think that Liu Yong's subordinate Lin Hualang and the official escorted the prisoner together, will it have something to do with Liu Yong's house?" Ma Qian guessed.
Ma Shifan remembered that the motor won the Liu family's industry, and he could confirm that this matter must be related to Liu Yong.
"Qian'er's guess should be right, then Liu Yong's wings are hard now, how can he be willing to let your cousin take possession of his property?"
"Father, what are we going to do?" Ma Qian asked.
Ma Shifan sighed, shook his head, and said, "With the relationship between Liu Yong and Lord Zhizhou, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle." If only my father could talk to Lord Zhizhou. He sighed again as he spoke, turned his head to look at Ma Gan, and said, "This is why my father wants you to marry the daughter of Lord Zhizhou instead of the girl of the Lin family." ”
It's really a relationship that takes time to hate less, and Ma Gan at this time also deeply understands his father's hard work. If it weren't for his insistence on marrying Lin Qingrou, I'm afraid that he would already be the son-in-law of Lord Zhizhou at this time. But there is no regret medicine in the world. Thinking about it, I sighed involuntarily.
"Then, can Master Guo help?" Ma Gan looked at his father with some admiration.
Ma Shifan shook his head, anxiously lifted the curtain to see where he was, and then put down the curtain and said: "My father doesn't know, although Lord Guo is in charge of the power of a state, he and Lord Zhizhou are not in harmony. But at the moment, only he has a good relationship with his father. Ken speaks for us. Whether it is successful or not depends on the creation. ”
Ma Gan nodded, and also anxiously lifted the curtain to see that the carriage had already entered the city at this time, and the speed slowed down.
The father and son frowned and stopped talking.
The carriage stopped in front of the Cargo Office. Ma Gan got down first, then helped his father get out of the car, reported to the soldiers guarding the door, and entered the yamen.
met Guo Dequan in the back hall and explained his intentions.
Guo Dequan frowned, looking embarrassed.
"Brother Ma, you also know that I have no contact with Lord Zhizhou, and I'm afraid Guo can't do anything at this time."
Ma Shifan's heart was half cold after hearing this.
"Brother Guo, only you can speak now. You see......"
Guo Dequan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Shifan, and after a deep sigh, he took a long breath and said, "Okay, Guo will go for you." Find out what your nephew has committed. ”
"Then thank you Brother Guo." Ma Shifan hurriedly got up from his chair and bowed. Ma Gan also prayed.
"Your father and son are waiting for me, and Guo will go back when he goes." Guo Dequan arched his hand and walked out of the back hall quickly.
Ma Shifan and Ma Gan glanced at each other, both nervous. After all, it is the motor and the people of the Ma family, and they can't die without help.
"Father, do you think your cousin's sin is serious?" After being silent for a long time, Ma Gan suddenly asked.
"As a father, I think it should be quite heavy. Qian'er, do you think, if it's not serious, why did you escort him to the state capital? If it's a small case, it's handled in the county office. Ma Shifan said in a deep voice.
Ma Gan nodded.
"Father, don't get angry. If we can save my cousin, we'll do our best. Ma Qian persuaded.
"Well, Qian'er is right. There are laws in this country, and there are family rules in the family. If your cousin really breaks the law, then there is nothing we can do about it. But if it was framed by Liu Yong, then it would be a different matter. Ma Shifan looked at his son with a gloomy face.
"What does Father mean?" Ma Qian asked.
"What my father means is that it is best for Liu Yong to frame him, so that we can use your cousin's case to completely defeat Liu Yong." After speaking, a fierce light flashed in Ma Shifan's eyes.
Ma Gan had never seen his father have such eyes, and he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.
Ma Shifan glanced left and right with a gloomy face, and then whispered in Ma Gan's ear: "Qian'er, do you know why this Guo Dequan doesn't have contact with Lord Zhizhou?" ”
Where did Ma Gan know, so he shook his head, but his eyes were inquiring.
"Guo Dequan has coveted this position in Zhizhou for a long time. Don't look at him as tight-lipped about me, but my father knows his little calculations. ”
Hearing this, Ma Qian was also surprised.
"Father, it stands to reason that although Guo Dequan's official position has no real power, his level is about the same as that of Zhizhou. And the fat is flowing oil, why does he want to compete for the position of this governor? Ma Gan was a little puzzled.
Ma Shifan smiled gloomily and said, "Qian'er, you are still too young to know how much desire this human nature has. He, Guo Dequan, is an arrogant person with an extremely inflated desire for power. Where is he only willing to be a supervisor, he wants to be the most powerful person in Meizhou City. If he had the right, how could he be so at a loss in the face of the top card of a music club? ”
"Father is talking about Zhang Xixi from Xianle Fang, right?" Ma Qian asked.
"Hmph, who else besides her can make the magnates of Meizhou City flock to it?" Ma Shifan sneered.
"Hehe, the child has long wanted to see and see." The corners of Ma Gan's mouth hooked a smile, and a stunning beauty seemed to appear in front of him.
Ma Shifan rolled his eyes and said, "You are not qualified enough." After saying that, he turned around and sat back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and calmed down. Waiting for Guo Dequan to come back.
Ma Gan also knew that he didn't have the strength to soak in the most beautiful prostitute in the city, and at this time he was more concerned about his father's plan.
"Father, what are you going to do?" Ma Gan walked up to Ma Shifan's side in a few steps and asked in a low voice.
Ma Shifan looked at Ma Gan with a smile, calmly took a few sips of tea, put down the teacup, stroked his sparse beard, and said lightly: "Qian'er, you just wait to see the means of being a father." ”
