Hearing that Ma Liangbi fell for Oda Nobunaga, Zhang Gouer was very surprised, but when it came to the key point, he only heard him sigh, but refused to say it again. [Full text reading. 】

"The dog is so bold that he dares to collude with the Japanese coars! Hehe. Zhang Gou'er sneered and said loudly: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." Don't rely on the fact that you are the uncle of the Ryukyu Prime Minister and King Yong, and it is not an exaggeration to behead you for the crimes you have committed! ”

Isn't it normal for me, as a dignified Ryukyu minister, to exchange letters with the Minister of Japan from the second rank of Konoe? Ma Liangbi secretly thought, you kid is still too tender!

At this moment, in view of the fact that they have already mastered a lot of information, I am afraid that the matter of treasure hunting and trafficking in arquebuses cannot be hidden, but the treasure map is from the palace, looking for private merchants to undertake the escort task, and it is also the little eunuch C, and the two things are attributed to one, as for Oda Nobunaga, in fact, the mastermind behind this scene is pointed to the prince who has just passed away, and he Ma Liangbi is of course innocent.

Even if this matter involves Concubine Zhengniang, after all, she is the adopted daughter of her political opponent Shi Zhengzhen, whether she can clear her of responsibility depends on her own creation, and it is a big deal to give up Ma Feng, who caused trouble all day long, Ma Liangbi himself must be sitting firmly in Diaoyutai.

So, he pretended to be very remorseful, and said in despair: "Oda Nobunaga said in his letter that if they were allowed to trade freely in Naha Port, he would return the pirates and leave a huge inheritance after the unification of Japan in the future. ”

Zhang Gou'er mistakenly thought that he could be eighty percent sure, and he was very worried about the safety of Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, so he hurriedly sent the two villagers to bring a bundle of dry firewood, tied it to Ma Liangbi's back, and arranged a small sedan chair in the mansion, and wanted to take him into the palace to see Yongwang Chitose.

Just opened the door of the mansion, and suddenly found that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were back together, Zhang Gou'er hurriedly ordered someone to carry the sedan chair back, quickly ran to the front of the two of them, bowed down and greeted: "Two sisters, you are back!" ”

"Good brother, how is the situation on your side?" Guo Yi hurriedly asked.

Zhang Gou'er breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and replied, "This dog thief has confessed." ”

The two threw the stirrup off the saddle and got off the horse, chatted with Zhang Gou'er while walking, and learned that Ma Liangbi mentioned that he had fallen for Oda Nobunaga, and did not leave any confession, so he was going to find Yongwang Chitose to plead guilty, so Guo Yi shook his head and said: "Dog, you fell for this J thief!" ”

Zhang Gou'er was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know what was wrong, and he suddenly looked at a loss.

Xu Ling'er explained: "If there is no interlocking evidence, this old thief will definitely put all the blame on the head of the recently deceased prince, betray his son, and beat the concubine Niangniang, it is unknown." ”

"It's so dangerous!" Zhang Gou'er exclaimed and hurriedly arranged for Ma Liangbi to be re-interrogated.

At this time, Ma Liangbi redressed and was sitting in the wing room sighing, and suddenly found that Guo Yi was back, and there was an extra woman beside him, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Guo Qianhu, you're finally back, please look, please look, the old man was almost tortured by your men......"

"Lord Sangkoku, please be seated!" Guo Yi interrupted him and waved his hand at him reservedly.

When Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er also sat down, Ma Liangbi sat down and asked tentatively: "Guo Qianhu, have you ever seen Yongwang Chitose?" ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er looked at each other and smiled at each other, nodded slightly, but neither answered.

I wonder what happened in the palace? Ma Liangbi couldn't sit still, stood up and said: "A thousand mistakes, ten thousand mistakes are the fault of the dog, please see the two of you don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, take the old man to see the old princess and the Yongwang Chitose, the old man will bear the guilt of Jing pleading, peel the damn dog and cramp, and relieve the hatred in the old man's heart......

So, Zhang Gou'er brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and put it in front of Ma Liangbi.

"What do you want the old man to write?" Ma Liangbi asked.

"Lord Xiangguo, you should already know by now, why did Guo Qianhu and the others come?" Xu Ling'er also asked.

Ma Liangbi turned to look at Zhang Gou'er, and replied suspiciously: "According to this little general, you came to arrest the pirate remnants, and now you have taken this shochu shop. ”

"So, who took the bribes from this shochu shop? And who unleashed the pirate Lin Feng at Tongdu Temple in North Korea? Guo Yi asked sternly.

Because of this matter, there is also a sworn enemy Shi Zheng Zhen will testify, so Ma Liangbi no longer refutes, spreads out the paper, writes a detailed story with enthusiasm, and hands it to Guo Yi's approach.

In this article, Ma Liangbi did not deny the fact of releasing the pirate Lin Feng, but he never admitted accepting bribes from the Lin family.

Zhang Gou'er also read it and asked angrily: "Why didn't you mention anything about the conspiracy of the Japanese Oda Nobunaga?" ”

Ma Liangbi smiled slightly and asked, "Guo Qianhu, is it about going to Japan to hunt for treasures and trafficking in arquebuses?" ”

"Knowingly ask!" Zhang Gou'er shook his hand and wanted to beat Ma Liangbi again.

Ma Liangbi said quite confidently: "The reason why the queen and the Yongwang Chitose were guilty of the crime is actually for these two things, according to the old man's investigation, these two cases are full of fog, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet surfaced, and it is not very appropriate to declare it in the court at this time, right?" ”

"You old immortal, what did you say just now, it's all because the old man was confused for a while, and he fell for the bastard Oda Nobunaga, as far as the treasure hunt is concerned, it has nothing to do with Concubine Niangniang and Ma Feng, why are you backtracking now?" Zhang Gou'er said, and pulled out his blade again.

"Yes, the old man said that he became the Minister of the Second Rank of the Japanese Guard, Oda Nobunaga, because the old man, as the Minister of the Ryukyus, handled the official documents sent by the Fanbang, is there anything wrong?" Ma Liangbi asked rhetorically.

"What did Oda Nobunaga say?" Xu Ling'er asked.

Ma Liangbi replied without hesitation: "Japan sent a letter from the Minister of Konoe of the Second Grade, saying that it would strengthen trade relations with the Ryukyus, and that in the future he would return the property left in Japan by the pirates. ”

"So, since it is a normal trade presided over by Eiwang Chitose, why do you still organize merchants privately among the people? It even involves your own family surnamed Ma, who is organizing an armed treasure hunt, how can this be explained? Xu Linger asked.

Rumors about the search for a "Nippon Tong" escort arquebus had already been raging in Naha Port, and he was not at all worried at this time because Ma Liangbi had arranged it very carefully in advance.

"Really? This old man is the first time to hear about it, he will not hesitate, and quickly send the old man to bear the guilt, if it involves Ma Feng and stirrups and saddle brothers, the old man will never protect him! Ma Liangbi replied confidently.

"So, the mastermind behind these two things is Concubine Zhengniang?" Xu Ling'er asked.

Ma Liangbi hesitated for a moment, and replied rather vaguely: "Not necessarily, the old man has long suspected that it is the prince, but unfortunately, he found out that the matter was revealed and hanged himself." ”

Finding that Ma Liangbi was able to deal with these problems, Guo Yi asked: "Lord Xiangguo, don't talk about anything else, just because you released Lin Feng in North Korea, how do you think the imperial court will deal with it?" ”

"It's a big deal to lose his official position and resign, although the old man has been in the opposition for many years, as a relative of the emperor, he is not the same as serving the country loyally." Ma Liangbi replied.

"Your official position has been lost, and the prince has passed away, who will protect the interests of the concubine in the future?" Guo Yi continued to ask.

"She is the adopted daughter of the Zheng family in the long history, what does she have to do with the old husband?" Ma Liangbi asked disdainfully.

"It seems that you are ready to abandon your precious son and concubine?"

Hearing this, Ma Liangbi couldn't help but be suspicious, about the relationship between Ma Feng and Concubine Zheng, except for him, who is a father, I am afraid that no one knows; And now, since Guo Yi can come back safely from the palace, could it be that something happened to the concubine?

After being silent for a long time, Xu Ling'er said: "Whether you admit to accepting bribes from the Lin family and letting go of the pirate leader Lin Feng without permission, losing your official position and resigning is your best ending, this has to be your sister desperately to defend you, just because of the ugly things done by your father and son, so whether the queen is willing to continue to protect you depends on your attitude of admitting guilt, do you understand?" ”

Ma Liangbi suddenly realized that the girl who accompanied Guo Yi back might be someone sent by her sister, that is to say, Concubine Zheng Niangniang had already had an accident, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead.

Seeing that he continued to be silent, Xu Ling'er decided to break it directly: "Lord Xiangguo, what crime should you be guilty of conniving at your son to steal the treasure map in the palace?" ”

"The old man doesn't know about this, if there is really such a thing, it is also the damn dog's doing, as the uncle of the country, the old man is loyal to the Yongwang Chitose and the court, and there is no second heart, heaven and earth can be learned!" Ma Liangbi replied in horror.

Guo Yi asked mysteriously, "Lord Xiangguo, do you know why Ben Qianhu only came back at noon?" ”

Ma Liangbi looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and shook his head vigorously.

"Early this morning, the stirrups and saddle brothers were taken in Naha Port, and they are organizing people to go to Japan to hunt for treasures, who is instructing them?" Xu Ling'er asked sharply.

"As far as the old man knows, the stirrup, the saddle and the old man are considered to be their own family, and it is the prince and the concubine who are secretly C vertical, the old man was confused for a while, and fell into the hands of the prince, as for whether the dog is involved, the old man is busy with government affairs all day long, and he really doesn't know anything about the details, so the old man will find out carefully."

Hearing this, Ma Liangbi pulled hard at the prince-in-law and the concubine, pushing his guilt cleanly.

"Ma Liangbi, don't pretend anymore, hehe, it's really a good calculation!" Guo Yi shouted, and then asked: "Concubine Zheng's mother is the adopted daughter of your political opponent Changshi Zheng Zhen, and she is actually the backer of your Ma family, maybe it won't be too long, Lord Zheng will have to be forced into the wilderness by you, in order to dominate the dynasty and let the Ryukyu Kingdom break away from the imperial court, you will recognize the thief as your father, and wait for the Japanese to take advantage of the Ryukyu and conquer the Nanyang Islands, you will learn from the shameless Zhu Wen and go to Nanyang to become an emperor." ”

Hearing this, Ma Liangbi was suddenly paralyzed with fright, and thought about it calmly, even if Concubine Niangniang had been arrested, she wouldn't know anything about going to the Nanyang Islands to be the emperor through Ryukyu, could it be that her son was also arrested?

Anyway, Concubine Zhengniang is the adopted daughter of Changshi Zheng Zhen, even if Ma Feng has any collusion with her, it has nothing to do with her, and she will fly separately when the disaster comes.

So, Ma Liangbi sighed and sighed quite sadly: "This unfilial dog, what did he do to hide from the old man?" ”

Xu Linger said: "It doesn't matter what he did, the queen just wants to know, what is your attitude?" ”

Suddenly feeling that it was almost to the point of exhaustion, Ma Liangbi went out and said: "Everyone, please tie up the dry firewood for me, the old man will go to the palace to bear the guilt, cut the unfilial dog with a thousand knives, let him go up the knife mountain, get off the oil pot, and relieve the hatred in the old man's heart." As for what to do with King Chitose and the queen's mother? The old man was left to his fate. ”

"Lord Xiangguo's attitude is good, which is exactly what the queen wants to see." Xu Ling'er smiled slightly when she said this, shook her head and sighed: "Some people are really old and confused, and it is not an exaggeration to send a J fine into the palace, and it is not too much to cut him with a thousand knives. ”

So, Ma Liangbi said angrily: "Zheng Zhen is innocent of death!" He and the prince are embarrassed to be J, and secretly I don't know how many bad things he has done! Back then, in Tongdu Temple in North Korea, if it weren't for this person fanning the flames on the sidelines, how could the old man release the pirate Lin Feng? ”

"There are some things, you don't have to rely on the head of Zheng Zhen, according to the confession of the Lin family, you received 100,000 taels of gold before releasing the pirate Lin Feng." Zhang Gou'er reminded.

Ma Liangbi's confidence became more and more sufficient, and he replied loudly: "It's pure slander, I want to confront them on the spot in front of Yongwang Chitose, if you want to say that someone has received 100,000 taels of gold, it must be Zheng Zhen and that prince!" ”

Finding that Ma Liangbi suddenly played a scoundrel again, Zhang Gouer held up the confession and said angrily: "You don't have to quibble, the facts are here." ”

"The case of the release of the pirate Lin Feng by Tongdu Temple in North Korea is actually a secret conspiracy between Zheng Zhen and Wang Gonggong to take advantage of the old man."

Hearing that he began to use strong words again, Zhang Gou'er, who couldn't bear it, wanted to stab this scoundrel to death, but was hurriedly stopped by Xu Ling'er.

It seems that this shameless person can sacrifice others to protect himself at any time, Xu Linger said: "There are many so-called truths, but they are not what everyone has seen and heard, if you want to investigate clearly, you must have enough evidence, not who says what is what." Lord Xiangguo, I won't tell you anything, Concubine Zhengniang is also writing a confession. ”

"She's writing a confession too?" Ma Liangbi was worried that Concubine Zheng's mother would expose his shortcomings, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Xu Linger persuaded: "As the saying goes, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark." Please don't panic, you might as well write out the truth you know, so as not to misunderstand the queen. ”

Ma Liangbi guessed that this must be someone sent by his sister, and the temptation had already been completed, and he thought that there should be no problem with his promise, so he asked himself to write a complaint, but he pretended to be helpless and replied: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the old man is a man and does things above board, what is there to be afraid of?" Write it! ”

So, Ma Liangbi picked up the pen and ink, brushed and wrote another article......

In this complaint: He described in detail the relationship between the prince, his son Ma Feng, the elder Shi Zheng Zhen and his adopted daughter, and put the release of the pirate Lin Feng in Korea on the heads of Zheng Zhen and the prince, as for the treasure hunt and trafficking in arquebuses in Japan, it was all done behind his son's back, as for Ma Feng's later collusion with the concubine Niangniang, the Ma brothers and others, he had no idea before.

Xu Ling'er looked at it and asked puzzledly: "Lord Xiangguo, since you didn't know about it before, is all this you writing a false accusation?" ”

Ma Liangbi stared at Guo Yi for a while, and found that she was nodding to herself, and replied quite confidently: "It is Guo Qianhu who has made such a miraculous feat and investigated the truth. Guo Qianhu, please sign it too. ”

Guo Yi took this confession and handed it to Zhang Gou'er without even looking at it.

At this time, Ma Liangbi urged: "This little general, please send it to the palace as soon as possible and hand it over to Yongwang Chitose with your own hands." With that, he got up and walked out.

"Wait." Guo Yi shouted and took out a piece of paperwork.

Ma Liangbi, who didn't know what to do, turned around and looked, the document was written with the name and honorific name of Concubine Niangniang, as well as Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, the three of them married Jinlan and became godsisters......

Ma Liangbi was stunned, this was his own life, he only felt dizzy and fell to the ground......

Zhang Gou'er squatted on the ground and patted his face, seeing that he rolled his eyes, he held up his two confessions, smiled and said, "I know you are very good at playing scoundrels, get up quickly." ”
