Ma Liangbi never thought that Concubine Zhengniang and they became godsisters, and the confession of framing Concubine Niangniang had fallen into their hands. [No pop-ups. 】

was escorted back by Zhang Gou'er, Ma Liangbi was frightened and stupid, sitting on the chair and trembling non-stop......

Putting the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Ma Liangbi again, Zhang Gou'er gestured with the sharp blade in his hand, and said fiercely: "The surname Ma, quickly write out all your Y schemes, dare to have half a lie, I will cut off your ears, don't think that I dare not touch you." ”

After being silent for a long time, Ma Liangbi nodded.

Seeing that he was now sober, Zhang Gou'er shouted loudly: "Then don't write it quickly!" ”

At this moment, Ma Liangbi had already made up his mind, his eyes were rolling around, and he thought to himself, he didn't dare to write nonsense anymore, and asked tentatively: "Little general, the old man really doesn't know what to write?" ”

"You're knowingly asking!" Zhang Gou'er replied angrily.

Ma Liangbi sighed, and then said: "Even if the old man is wrong, it is only because the roots of his ears are too soft, and he really doesn't know how to write. ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er walked in and found that Ma Liangbi was still playing tricks, and thought it was necessary to continue to beat: "Your Excellency, to be honest, we have no intention of interfering in the national affairs of the Ryukyus, and we will not persecute the people of the Ryukyus for no reason. However, if anyone dares to betray the imperial court and secretly collude with Western missionaries, pirates and pirates, he will certainly not be spared! People are not sages, who can be without fault, know mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. If you make meritorious contributions, not only will you not be guilty of the past, but the court will also reward you greatly, and what to do depends on your current attitude. ”

These words made Ma Liangbi feel reassured, in fact, he had already finished the draft, and wrote another article with a pen and ink.

In this confession, it is mentioned again that the Minister of Japan from Nisin Konoe has repeatedly submitted credentials to reach a trade agreement with the Ryukyus, but because it involves the Jesuits, Sakai Town, and other people to preach in the Ryukyus, and even to traffic in arms, he sternly refused. Of course, this situation is very clear to Queen Ma and King Shang Yong.

The confession goes on to mention that Oda Nobunaga sent his retainers to visit the Ryukyus, and wanted to make a deal privately about the trafficking of arquebuses, and declared that they would return the pirates' inheritance in Japan.

For the "inadvertent" release of the pirate Lin Feng in the Tongdu Temple in North Korea, Ma Liangbi no longer made excuses for himself, but complained to the imperial court, it turned out that he was waiting for the imperial seal in Beijing, and was coldly treated by the cabinet scholars Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng and others, and he didn't even see the face of the Empress Dowager Li and the new monarch, and no one told him about his sadness and bitterness, so he took the opportunity to express his loyalty to the imperial court and the Ryukyu royal family......

At this time, he no longer framed Wang Gonggong and Zheng Zhen and others, and still refused to admit that he had accepted bribes from the Lin family's soju shop.

Guo Yi looked at it, knowing that he deliberately avoided the important and light, and he was helpless, so he shook his head helplessly.

So, Zhang Gou'er asked angrily: "Ma Liangbi, let me ask you, what promise did Oda Nobunaga give you?" ”

"The little general is angry, the Japanese state submitted the credentials from the Minister of the Second Rank Konoe, and the old man is responsible for handling it as the Minister of the Ryukyus, and the documents written have been approved by the Yongwang Chitose, in all fairness, there is nothing wrong." Ma Liangbi argued.

Guo Yi said calmly: "If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it." Whether you admit it or not, once the East Window incident happens, no one can save you. ”

"Lord Xiangguo, to tell you the truth, we are going to Japan in the near future, and when the time comes, if Oda Nobunaga betrays you, it will be too late to regret it, you have to think carefully." Xu Linger persuaded.

Ma Liangbi was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous.

At this time, Xu Ling'er looked at Guo Yi and shook her head gently, and said tentatively: "Sister, just pick it out, right?" ”

"With his current attitude, there is no possibility of cooperation, forget it, kill him." Guo Yi turned to look at Ma Liangbi and added: "Based on his first two confessions, it is not an exaggeration to kill him. ”

After hearing this, Ma Liangbi began to be confused again, and he didn't understand what they meant.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ling'er asked, "May I ask Lord Xiangguo, did the Oda clan ask you to transport the arquebus to Ise Bay and give it to Niwa Goro?" ”

Ma Liangbi lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.

Xu Linger then asked, "Did Father Simon Almeida come to you?" ”

Ma Liangbi suddenly shook his head, but still had no words.

"Well, to tell you the truth, these two have also looked for us, and it seems that we are indeed enemies." Xu Ling'er smiled slightly when she said this, and at this time, she found that Ma Liangbi raised her head, so she continued: "As the saying goes, many friends have many roads, and many enemies have many walls; Everyone has food to eat, and everyone earns money, but I don't know how Lord Xiangguo thinks about it? ”

At this time, Ma Liangbi's heart suddenly brightened, the concubine Niangniang expected them to help in the future, so she became a godsister with them, so to speak, Queen Ma and King Shang Yong must not know yet, since this is the case, then have a good competition, play with the old man on the Ryukyu territory, hehe, see how the old man plays to death you!

But Ma Liangbi was also worried that if he said too much, he would lose, so he continued to bow his head and remain silent.

"Since he wants to eat alone, kill him!" As he spoke, Zhang Gou'er pulled out his sword and put it on Ma Liangbi's neck.

"Don't be rude!" Guo Yi shouted, stopped Zhang Gou'er, and said sternly: "There's no need to dirty our hands, you quickly send the confession that framed Concubine Zheng, Lord Zheng and Wang Gonggong into the palace, and see how Yongwang Chitose handles it." ”

"Sister, he, he knows our secret now, too." Zhang Gou'er seemed to be a little weak-hearted.

"Hehe, just by his words, will the queen mother and Yongwang Chitose believe it? His two signed confessions are ironclad, don't worry about him slandering us, go quickly. Guo Yi ordered.

Zhang Gou'er was about to leave with his confession, but Ma Liangbi immediately got up and stopped at the door.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to bleed you some, get out of the way!" Zhang Gou'er threatened.

Ma Liangbi tried his best to remain calm and persuaded: "You don't have to be like this, there is something to discuss." ”

Zhang Gou'er glanced back and found that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were all expressionless, so he pushed Ma Liangbi away and was about to go out.

Ma Liangbi dragged Zhang Gou'er to death, panting and turning his head and saying, "The two girls are impatient, and they have something to say and something to discuss. ”

"Old thing, it's really shameless!" Zhang Gou'er scolded.

Pulling Zhang Gou'er back into the house, Ma Liangbi sighed and said helplessly: "Anyway, you have caught the handle of the old man, what do you want to do, just say it." ”

Xu Ling'er smiled and waved her hand at him, and said politely: "Lord Xiangguo, please take a seat!" ”

At this time, Ma Liangbi was still unsure of their identities, and after sitting down, he said tentatively: "Make a condition, as long as the old man can do it, there is no other word." ”

Xu Ling'er said: "Actually, it's nothing, in the future, we will be your liaison with Oda Nobunaga, as for the treasure hunt in Japan, let your precious son stop immediately, understand?" ”

"It's easy to do, everything is subject to your arrangement, and the old man will never let people make trouble for you." Ma Liangbi lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked, "After the matter is completed, how will it be distributed?" How should the old man supervise? ”

Zhang Gou'er suddenly became angry, pulled out his sword and threatened: "You old immortal, you dare to talk about conditions?" ”

"Don't talk about the conditions, you still want the old man to do it in vain? It's a big deal, the fish is dead, do you still want to get out of the Ryukyus? Ma Liangbi began to be confident again.

"Please don't have to be like a child." Guo Yi said: "Trafficking in arquebuses is a long-term matter, we will divide half of every profit, as for the treasure hunt, in fact, we are not very interested, but your son wants to do it, and recently he also sent someone to Japan, but, to tell you the truth, this matter is best to end here, not to mention that the treasure of pirates is not so easy to find, once the act is not secret, it may also spoil our big things, please consider it." ”

"This damn son of a bitch!" Ma Liangbi sighed and asked helplessly, "What is the attitude of Concubine Zhengniang towards this?" ”

"The main concubine Niangniang Chitose also hopes that your son can stop, and it is better to disappear in the Ryukyus." Guo Yi replied.

Ma Liangbi asked in surprise: "As far as the old man knows, the treasure hunt originated from the concubine Niangniang, could it be that with the two of you, our father and son were abandoned?" ”

It seems that Ma Liangbi is indeed a person who is calculating, going back on his word, and will repay him, if he is not completely brought down, he will be a big trouble in the future.

"Lord Xiangguo, at this time and that time, the Minister of the Second Rank Guards is deeply trapped in the secondary seine net, and he urgently needs a new Western arquebus, if he can't guarantee the supply, then, who will make you the king of the Nanyang Islands in the future?" Xu Ling'er asked.

"This matter will be carefully considered by the old man, please rest assured for the time being." Ma Liangbi replied.

"What's the heart, to tell you the truth, the liaison between your turtle son and the stirrup and the saddle is me, and the liaison between Konishi Yukicho, Su Ba and others who are trying to help him hunt for treasures, or me, let you give up the treasure hunt for the time being, do you want to tear your face, what's the matter if you wait for another year and a half? What else is there to consider? Zhang Gou'er asked.

No wonder they felt the situation so thoroughly, all the bad things were bad on the head of the hornet's nest, Ma Liangbi suddenly became angry, stood up and said: "Forget it, the cooperation ends here." No matter what happens to Yongwang Chitose and Queen Niang Chitose, the old man decides to take the blame. ”

"Believe it or not, I killed you!" Zhang Gou'er threatened.

"Kill if you want." As he spoke, Ma Liangbi immediately stretched out his neck.

Guo Yi stood up and said loudly: "We don't need to kill you, but the confession you framed Concubine Niangniang is enough to kill your father and son, if you want to take the guilt, then go, dog, don't stop him." ”

Ma Liangbi wanted to leave but didn't leave, turned around and asked: "Guo Qianhu, there is something very strange about the old man, why can you become godsisters with Concubine Zhengniang?" Do Yongwang Chitose and Queen Niangniang know? ”

"Hehe, I believe that after King Yong Chitose and Queen Niangniang know, they will be very satisfied, and they will not work hard for Lord C." Xu Ling'er replied.

At this time, Ma Liangbi suddenly remembered one thing, when he wanted to canonize the stirrups and saddle brothers, it was the concubine Niangniang who personally came to ask for his help, mistakenly thinking that this was the meaning of the prince, in order not to offend the old eunuch of Dongchang, he just took the opportunity to buy two right-hand men, recognized them as his own family, and worked for himself in the future, so he didn't ask much.

Later, I learned that the concubine Niangniang had already confined the princess, I heard that the Ma brothers had shipped two coffins from overseas, and they also invited the immortal master to see feng shui, and I just heard that the Ma brothers were related to them, could it be that the coffin would be someone from the concubine Niangniang?

Regarding the concubine Niangniang who had a relationship with his son, Ma Liangbi suspected her identity, and also inquired secretly, and learned that she was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, only because her family was shipwrecked, and she was raised in a relative's house since she was a child; It wasn't until he was passed on to the long history Zheng Zhen, and then he was sent to the palace, that he knew that the person behind the scenes was actually the prince, but at that time, he mistakenly thought that this was a deliberate contradiction between him and Zheng Zhen.

It seems that the background of this concubine is doubtful, thinking of this, Ma Liangbi was full of confidence again, shook his head and sighed: "You two yellow-haired girls are still too tender!" ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er couldn't help but be stunned, and Zhang Gou'er immediately showed his sword again......

Ma Liangbi glared at him, looked upright, and shouted: "What do you want to do?" The tail of your fox is finally exposed, and with the imperial court and your chief behind your back, you secretly ran to Ryukyu to set up a bureau, plotting to persecute the prince and the old man, in fact, in order to transport muskets for the foreigners to the Japanese pirates, hum! Let me tell you, although the prince is gone, there is still Ma Liangbi in the Ryukyus, and I am here, so you don't want to succeed! ”

Suddenly, the situation reversed, Ma Liangbi appeared to be upright, while Guo Yi and Xu Linger became suspects in collusion with the Japanese Invaders.

So, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er pretended to be a little timid, took a few steps back, and sat silently on the Taishi's chair.

Ma Liangbi said with emotion: "Although you are so rude today, I will not care about you when I think you are young and ignorant. ”

Although Zhang Gou'er's eldest son is in the pirate's den, he has never seen people with such thick skin, and he can't understand why a person who is a big official is so good at acting......

Finding that Zhang Gou'er was still holding the sword, dangling in front of his eyes, the tall Ma Liangbi suddenly stood up and scolded angrily: "At a young age, I only know how to dance with guns and sticks, why don't you put away the blade quickly?" ”

Zhang Gou'er, who couldn't bear it anymore, bit his teeth and raised his sword towards Ma Liangbi......

Xu Ling'er was quick-eyed, and immediately grabbed Zhang Gou'er, and said: "Good brother, this person can't be killed for the time being, you hurry up to Naha Port now, while the officials are drunk, let's get him on the ship quickly, and immediately go to Japan to negotiate with Oda Nobunaga." ”

Zhang Gou'er agreed, slapped him at the door, rushed in a few villagers, couldn't help but say, tied up Ma Liangbi again, and wrapped his head in a black cloth.

"Brothers, send this old thing to Naha Port first, and set sail tonight." Zhang Gou'er ordered.

The two villagers shouted "Order", lifted Ma Liangbi and walked out.

If they kidnapped him and went to Japan, he might not be able to come back, and even if he could come back, it would be worthless in the eyes of Oda Nobunaga......

After a long day of fighting, Ma Liangbi completely collapsed this time, and shouted sadly: "Don't, no matter what you want to do, I, I will help you, everything is easy to discuss!" ”

"What else is there to discuss? Get him away for me! Guo Yi replied.

Ma Liangbi struggled desperately, got rid of the two villagers, fell heavily to the ground, and shouted in pain: "Everything is negotiable, just listen to you." ”

So, Xu Ling'er uncovered the black cloth on his head and said unhurriedly: "Okay! It seems that this is called not fighting, not acquaintance! Oda Nobunaga, who does not tell lies in front of real people, is a madman with an extremely arrogant attitude towards anyone, and in order to ensure the fairness of the deal, we really have to go to Japan to negotiate with him. ”

Ma Liangbi returned to the house, sat down and sighed: "Boiled beans and roasted beans, beans are crying in the kettle, they are born from the same root, why are they in a hurry!" ”

Zhang Gou'er brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone again, and scolded angrily: "Old thing, now I want to know the agreement you and Oda Nobunaga reached in private, so as not to be fooled, write quickly, so as not to suffer from Pi R!" ”

"Guo Qianhu, please return the first two confessions to the old man, and I will write them." Ma Liangbi began to talk about the conditions again.

"Please don't worry, Lord Xiangguo, we will keep these two confessions for you, I'm afraid that when you burn the beans in the future, don't burn them on the head of the concubine." Guo Yi replied.

"Guo Qianhu, don't deceive people too much!"

"What exactly are you doing with Oda Nobunaga? You can't just say what you say now! Not only can we not return those two confessions, but we have to let your son take us hostage! Guo Yi suddenly turned his face.

"Guo Qianhu, Guo Qianhu, since everyone is working together, why bother * me too much? What's the hurry, what's the hurry! ”

Guo Yi said categorically: "Ma Liangbi, let me tell you, you don't have a choice now. ”

"Well, where are you going to take my son hostage?"

Xu Ling'er replied: "Send it to the mainland and hand it over to our people to take care of." Lord Xiangguo, this is also for your sake, your precious son continues to stay in the Ryukyus, sooner or later he will have to cause great trouble, it is better to let him go to Beijing to study, and after he finishes his studies, maybe you have become the king of the Nanyang Islands, he will inherit your throne in the future, maybe he can become a generation of famous lords, what do you think? ”

Ma Liangbi thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was no need to continue the competition now, but he couldn't let them dispose of their sons casually, and replied: "I have no opinion on sending that uncompetitive dog to study abroad, but I will arrange where to go, please don't embarrass me anymore for the two generals." ”

"Where are you going to send your precious son?" Xu Ling'er asked.

"Don't hide it, you don't have to send him to Jingshi, the old man has a very good personal relationship with the former Shoufu University Scholar, so let's send him to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture." Ma Liangbi replied.

"Xu Ge is old, who can take care of your precious son, what if something happens?" Xu Ling'er then asked.

"The old man has already figured it out just now, Xu Ge's old nephew's merchant ship is in Naha Port, let Xu Kun take him away."

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, Zhang Gou'er grabbed Ma Liangbi and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" My father-in-law is in Naha Port? ”
