Chapter 13: The days of laziness are over (ask for a recommendation)

Seeing Li Xiu's insistence, Ma Ye did not persuade again, and immediately instructed again: "Old Seven, you take my name card to the Pengguo Mansion and ask them to hand over all the offenders!" ”

"Whoa!" Lao Qi agreed again, flew on his horse and galloped away, from his appearance to the present, he didn't even say a word of nonsense, and his expression was always cold, looking handsome and crazy, which made Li Xiu a little suspicious if he was paralyzed?

"Uncle Ma, it's as simple as that, and the other party will hand over someone?" Li Xiu was surprised again at this time, a famous post can be done, which is a little too unexpected for him, originally he thought that this Ma Ye would go to Wang Junkuo in person to ask for the guilt.

"What more do you want? Wang Junkuo is not in Chang'an, there are only some family members in the house, Lao Tzu can't always go to the door, and such a trivial matter, at most, is the steward of his house instructed people to do it, and one of my famous posts is enough for them to hand over people. Ma Ye glanced at Li Xiu and said, sometimes Li Xiu is shrewd and outrageous, and sometimes he shows that he doesn't know anything about some things, which makes him more and more interested in Li Xiu.

"Wang Junkuo is not in Chang'an, so this matter was not instructed by him?" Li Xiu was stunned again when he heard this, and muttered to himself.

"Nonsense, no matter how Wang Junkuo is, that's also a general, he will only take a fancy to your little profit when he is full? And since last year, Wang Junkuo has been fighting outside the country and has never returned to Chang'an, so this matter can only be done by people in his house. When Ma Ye heard this, Li Xiu glanced at him again and said.

"Makes sense, but in this way, I really wronged him just now." Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, the technique of making bean sprouts is the foundation of his life in this winter for him and the tenants on Zhuangzi, but for people of Wang Junkuo's level, it is not worth mentioning at all, so it should be the people in his house who instruct and rob the bean sprouts business.

"Wronged fart, boy, you have to remember that in Chang'an City, what kind of master has what kind of house slave, do you think that Wang Junkuo's house slave is so bold and forcible to take it, there is no deliberate connivance behind him?" Ma Ye snorted coldly at this time, no one knows better than him about the affairs of the powerful family.

Sure enough, an hour later, Lao Qi rode back again, this time he was followed by a horse, riding a fat man on the horse, and there were more than a dozen house slaves who ran out of breath behind the horse, only to see that the fat man saw the horse master by the river, and immediately rolled off the horse, and then trotted in front of the horse with the fat of the whole body and said respectfully: "The villain Wang Fu has seen the horse master!" ”

Ma Ye didn't even look at the other party at this time, and only after a while did he speak: "Did the offender bring it?" ”

"Brought, Ma Ye Rongyu, this matter is all because the housekeeper Liu in the house took a fancy to the business of bean sprouts, so he instructed someone to rob him, the villain is the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, and he doesn't know anything about this matter, he really deserves death, but please also ask Ma Ye to look at my lord's face and spare the villain this time!" The Wang steward said profusely, the dust on his face was washed away by sweat, forming ravines, which looked a little funny.

"I don't want to take care of the affairs in your house, but if you move the people of our princess's mansion, then you have to pay the corresponding price, Steward Wang, you can do it!" Ma Ye said very leisurely and lifted the fishing rod, replaced the bait on the hook, and then threw it into the water again, without the slightest anger when he spoke. This forced to pretend to be level, and Li Xiu had to give Ma Ye 10,000 likes in his heart.

Hearing that Ma Ye let himself watch it, the sweat on Steward Wang's head rose faster, because this showed that the other party did not intend to spare them easily, and if this matter did not satisfy Ma Ye, then their Peng Guo Mansion would offend the Ma Ye in front of them, speaking of which Ma Ye was at the same level as his own master, it stands to reason that there is no need to be afraid of him, but the key is that there is a Pingyang princess behind the other party, everyone knows that the princess trusts Ma Ye the most, and offending him is offending the princess!

Thinking of this, Steward Wang finally gritted his teeth, turned his head and glanced at the people behind him, as a result, five or six of them immediately pulled out their sticks and made a move on the people around them, and in the blink of an eye, the rest of the people were all knocked to the ground, including the Liu steward who was pushed out by him, and the rest were all people who did it this morning, these people were beaten but did not dare to fight back, because they were all Wang Junkuo's house slaves, if they dared to resist, the family would not want to live.

The beaten person cried in pain and called his mother, but Ma Ye was indifferent, which made Steward Wang feel ruthless again, and finally ordered those who did it: "Give me all the legs discounted!" ”

With the command of the steward Wang, the house slaves who did it agreed, and their hands were more ruthless and blacker, and with a few crisp fractures, one of the legs of the beaten people was all broken, which made them all hold their legs and scream, and a few simply fainted in pain. At this time, Ma Ye finally reacted, and still said without raising his head: "Okay, carry the people away, so as not to disturb Lao Tzu fishing!" ”

"Yes, yes~, the villain will go!" When Steward Wang heard Ma Ye's words, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and immediately let the injured person be dragged away, and soon disappeared on the official road.

The whole process took more than ten minutes at most, but Li Xiu was dumbfounded, and it was only then that he suddenly discovered that the battle in this era of Datang was so **** and bloody, and he might break his hands and feet if he was not careful, it seems that he really thought too simple before, if he wants to live freely in Datang, he must at least have the capital of self-protection, which can be official position, force, relationship, fame, etc., for example, now that he has a relationship with Princess Pingyang's Mansion, then he must manage it well, If Princess Pingyang hadn't died so early, it would have been a good backer.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu said goodbye to Ma Ye, went to Zhuangzi for the first time, and told him about asking Ma Ye to teach those beaters a lesson, which made the tenants in Zhuangzi also very happy, Liu Boss asked if he could continue to sell bean sprouts, when he got Li Xiu's affirmative answer, this dealer man actually cried with joy, and the next day he took several other tenants to push the bean sprouts into the city regardless of his injury, after all, they were all poor and afraid, and now there is such an opportunity to make money, they naturally have to hurry up, A day's delay is several times of income, and after the beginning of spring, the business will not be completed.

Seeing the tenants so hard-working, Li Xiu felt a little embarrassed, because since he solved the problem of food and clothing, his daily life is to eat and sleep, or just sit there in a daze, thinking about his past life for a while, thinking about his future plans in Datang, etc., compared to the tense and busy life in his previous life, the current life is simply lazy and outrageous.

However, Li Xiu's lazy days soon came to an end, because yesterday he promised Ma Ye to cooperate in planting green vegetables in winter, Li Xiu originally wanted to go to Ma Ye in a few days, but he didn't expect Ma Ye to be an anxious child, early the next morning, he didn't wake up when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, when he opened the door, he saw Lao Qi's paralyzed face, and then only listened to the other party's dry saying: "Ma Ye please come over!" ”

Li Xiu didn't even eat breakfast at this time, but this matter was promised to the other party, so he had no choice but to follow Xiao Qi to leave home, this time not to the Huangqu, but to the manor of Princess Pingyang. Speaking of which, Li Xiu and the other party are neighbors, but they have never seen what the princess's manor looks like, because the place where the two sides live is separated by a forest, when Li Xiu bypassed a forest along the Yellow Canal, he finally saw a large-scale manor in front of him, and there were many villages in the distance, these were the tenants of Princess Pingyang.

Looking at the manor of Princess Pingyang in front of him, Li Xiu realized that the place where he lived was the difference between a small earthen house and a skyscraper compared with the large-scale building complex in front of him, and looking at the tenants of other people, there were several Zhuangzi, each of which was not less than a hundred, but there was only one small Zhuangzi with five families on his side, and they were all people, so the gap was too big, right?

The princess's manor was built on the north bank of the Yellow Canal, in front of which was the Yellow Canal flowing down, and there was also a small river on the left, and there were solid stone bridges on both rivers, which made Li Xiu secretly swear in his heart that when he had money in the future, he would also build a larger manor, and a solid stone bridge should be built on the river in front of him, so that he could look magnificent.

Cross the bridge into the manor and come to the front yard, and immediately saw Ma Ye was tying Uncle Ma in the yard to practice stone locks, a hundred pounds of stone locks in his hands were thrown up and down like a toy, for this novel way of morning exercise, Li Xiu was also very curious, but he didn't dare to step forward, what if the other party missed and hit himself, so he obediently hid on the side of the stone table, the key is that there was a snack on the table, and he didn't be polite to the other party, stuffed it in his mouth and padded his stomach first.

Half an hour later, Ma Ye finally put down the stone lock in sweat, and came to Li Xiu while wiping his face: "Virtuous nephew, I invite you to come today for nothing else, I just want to ask you to build a greenhouse you said as soon as possible, so that all the flowers and plants raised by the princess can be moved in, since the weather is cold, these flowers and plants have been moved into the house, but after a long time, there are still some unemployed, and some have even begun to wither, so you have to hurry up!" ”

Seeing Ma Ye approaching, Li Xiu couldn't help but take two steps back, it was really that the smell of sweat on the other party's body was too rushing. And when Li Xiu heard that Ma Ye came to him early in the morning to build a flower room for the princess, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and even he suspected that the reason why Ma Ye agreed to cooperate yesterday was probably because he took a fancy to the reason why the greenhouse could raise flowers and plants, and making money was only incidental.

"Uncle Ma, when do you want to build a greenhouse?" Li Xiu thought for a while and asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better, how about three days?" Ma Ye said tentatively, in fact, he himself felt that the three days were too tight, and Li Xiu would definitely not agree.

However, to Ma Ye's surprise, Li Xiu nodded when he heard this and said, "No problem, but you have to promise me a few conditions, as long as you can do it, you will definitely be built a greenhouse in three days." ”
