Chapter 008: Visit
The commander of the Qin Mansion was shot to death in the backyard by the prince of Ma Fu, and his death was miserable.
This is the headline news of Chungju City today, and it also coincides with the marriage agreement between Chungju Commander-in-Chief and Seokju Seon-fu Mafu, which further stimulates the popularity of word of mouth.
Qin Mu sat on the Taishi chair in the main hall, his face was gloomy and ugly, and the housekeeper carefully explained the wind and rain outside to Qin Mu, and then lowered his head and stopped making a sound.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Mu raised his head and asked, "Then where is Captain Li's body?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I heard that Miss went to Mafu yesterday and collected the body of Captain Li, as for how to deal with it, I have to ask Miss." ”
"I didn't hear Yu'er tell me about this matter, since it was the sergeant next to her, she would do it, but this Ma Qiancheng is really as ruthless as it is rumored outside, and he kills people like hemp." Qin Mu has also heard of Ma Qiancheng more or less, before the Ma family came to Qin Mansion to ask for relatives, the relationship between Qin and Ma Liang's family was already very close, Ma Qiancheng himself Qin Mu has also seen it a few times, he is a good child, but now through this matter, Qin Mu has to reconsider Ma Qiancheng, the truth is in front of him, so it was all an illusion before.
"Master, now that the news is well known to everyone, what should we ......do about it," the butler asked with some concern.
"As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, I am such a precious daughter, I can't easily marry her." Qin Mu didn't understand it, the housekeeper already knew what the master meant, and the two families were originally very satisfied with this family matter, but at this juncture, such a thing happened, if it was done as if it didn't happen, it would definitely be pointed at, and these are what the big families care about the most.
"Yesterday, someone from the Ma family said that they would choose a day to exchange birthdays......
The housekeeper didn't finish speaking, Qin Mu sighed and waved his hand, "Let's stop this matter, let's talk about it later." ”
"It's not a trivial matter to die a lieutenant, I have to report it to the Ministry of War, I don't know if Yu'er can do it properly." Qin Mu was in a very depressed mood at this time, a good family affair was actually made like this, it seemed that it was the will of God.
Li Wencai is not dead, he is alive and well, and he is in a good mood, and he is pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back at this time.
"Everything is going according to my idea, and now the entire Chungju City probably knows about it, if it is not expected, the marriage of the Qin Maliang family is estimated to be unsuccessful." Li Wencai looks like a scheming middle-aged man at the moment, not at all like a teenager.
Lao Zhang smiled and looked at Li Wencai with admiration, the marriage of the two families was easily disturbed by Li Duwei, this is the means.
"Master Li is very wise, and it is easy to mess up the marriage, and now we can complete the task." Lao Zhang hurriedly sent a sycophant.
"It's still early, you think about it simply, now I can only say that the marriage of the Qin and Ma families has been delayed, and when the limelight passes, this matter will continue." Li Wencai understands the current situation very well, if he messes up the marriage of the Qin and Ma families with just such a thing, then he thinks things are too simple.
The next thing to do is to depend on Qin Liangyu, if the marriage cannot be reversed during this time, then it is no longer possible.
"Now that the Qin and Ma families know that the adults are dead, we can't go back to the Qin Mansion, do you want to inquire about the tone of the Qin Mansion." Lao Zhang saw that Li Wencai said deeply, and couldn't help but ask softly.
"Wait and see."
After Li Wencai finished speaking, he opened the window and walked through the street, opposite was the gate of the Qin Mansion, and everything in the Qin Mansion seemed to be in Li Wencai's eyes.
Since Li Wencai cheated to death, he found an inn opposite the Qin Mansion to stay, and he had already discussed his next step with Qin Liangyu.
The marriage between the Qin and Ma families can be said to be well-known from Zhongzhou to Shizhu, but at this time, there was a fatality, and the thoughts of the ancient people were more mixed with the elements of ghosts and gods, so for a while, rumors spread in the market, and the marriage of the Qin and Ma families was attributed to the fact that the heavens did not make a coincidence, which was more serious than disobeying the holy decree, so the Ma family was really anxious.
Ma Qiancheng was like a poor child at home by his father's old tears, both aggrieved and wronged, said that the things of the day were really strange, now think about it as if the captain had lived enough, specifically looking for himself to shoot him to death, this matter is not so simple.
"Dad, the child recalled the events of that day and felt a little strange, as if every step was set up by the captain surnamed Li."
Hearing his son say this, Mahler stroked his gray beard and pondered for a moment and asked, "You said he brought a novelty that day, and now show it to me." ”
Ma Qiancheng immediately asked his subordinates to fetch it, and the subordinates took the target brought by Li Wencai and retreated into the hall.
Mahler looked at it carefully for a long time, blinked his eyes and felt a little dizzy, so he asked Ma Qiancheng, "What is this?" ”
"Actually, it's just a target, but after being slightly modified by the lieutenant surnamed Li, after drawing these circles, it is very different from the target practiced in the army before."
"What's the difference, let's hear it?"
Ma Qiancheng suddenly became interested, and explained the wonders of this kind of target with rings to Mahler, Mahler nodded frequently, and couldn't help sighing: "Just a little modification has these wonders, it seems that Li Duwei is also a personal time, but unfortunately died young, it is a pity that he can't give advice to the Ming Dynasty." ”
Hearing what the father said, Ma Qiancheng's head was about to fall into the crotch of his pants, and the Ming people were killed by an arrow from themselves, if the emperor knew, then he was guilty of a lot, so Ma Qiancheng hurriedly changed the topic and said to Mahler: "The child feels that Li Duwei's death is a little strange, so the child decided to visit the Qin Mansion, and the son wants to see Li Duwei's body has been buried in order to really believe that he killed by mistake, otherwise his son is restless." ”
Mahler nodded, he had the same speculation as his son, so he said: "Then you go to the Qin Mansion to see what is going on, this time to try to be as simple as possible, now at this time, the Qin Mansion does not want to see the people of our Ma family, so I will not mention the family affairs for the time being, and after the rumors are over, I will discuss it with the old General Qin." ”
After Mahler finished speaking, he pointed to the target with the circle and said: "Use this kind of target with the circle in the army, the old man wants to see how the effect is, if it is really of such a good use, the old man will dedicate it to the emperor, I believe this is a small credit." ”
Ma Qiancheng took a few personal guards to ride a fast horse and headed towards Chungju, the purpose of visiting the Qin Mansion in Chungju was very simple, one was to make sure that Li Duwei was indeed dead and even his soul was gone, and now he was buried under the loess, so as to show that he really shot him that day, otherwise he would have another rhetoric, and the other thing is that he finally wanted to see Qin Liangyu, in his memory, the first time he saw Qin Liangyu was five years ago, when he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and a few years passed in a flash, I don't know what Qin Liangyu has become now.
The stone pillar is very close to Zhongzhou, less than a day's journey on horseback, it is already evening in front of the gate of the Qin Mansion, Ma Qiancheng dismounted in front of the gate of the Qin Mansion and tidied up his clothes, before reporting his name, the servant guarding the door immediately opened the gate and led Ma Qiancheng in.
"Oh no, Childe, things have changed."
At the moment when Ma Qiancheng entered the gate of the Qin Mansion, the eyeliner arranged by Li Wencai had already spread the news, and Lao Zhang hurriedly ran to Li Wencai to report it.
Li Wencai was looking at his face carefully in the mirror at the moment, looking at the time of nearly a stick of incense, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more strange he became, the person in the mirror seemed to have never seen it, at this time, he heard Lao Zhang shouting in a broken gong voice, 'Oh no', so he frowned and said to Lao Zhang: "Young master, how many times have I taught you, you have to be calm in case of trouble, isn't it that Ma Qiancheng came to visit the Qin Mansion, looking at you like this, it seems to be a funeral." ”
Lao Zhang asked with a shocked face, "How did Childe know?" ”
"Pinch your fingers and you'll know." Li Wencai pretended to stand up in a deep voice, put his hands behind his back and said: "The moment of the decisive battle is coming, I have been waiting for Ma Qiancheng to come, and it will be up to me to kill the deer tonight." ”
Looking at Li Wencai's tragic appearance of wanting to fight to the death with his rival in love, Lao Zhang said very worriedly: "The son is very courageous, but that Ma Qiancheng has been practicing martial arts and archery since he was a child, and if you compete with him to fight a deer, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not good." ”
Li Wencai sighed, glanced at Lao Zhang, and said with great disdain: "It's terrible to be uneducated, I have a secret letter here, you send someone to Qin Liangyu's hands, and the next things are under my control." ”
Ma Qiancheng didn't see Qin Liangyu, but saw Qin Mu sitting in the main hall, Ma Qiancheng suddenly felt a cold sweat in his head, the sudden change in the relationship between Qin and Ma Liang's family was caused by himself, so as a sinner, Ma Qiancheng still bowed to Qin Mu very politely and said: "My nephew came here this time on the order of my father to make amends, and it is all because my nephew is drunk and debauched that things are like this." ”
Ma Qiancheng's attitude was very respectful, not deliberately pretentious, of course Qin Mu could see this, so Qin Mu half-blinded his eyes and said: "Don't worry too much about Ma Xian's nephew, this matter has been reported, the old man will handle it properly, if the virtuous nephew has nothing else, please go back." ”
Qin Mu's tone was very cold, and after a few simple conversations, he issued an eviction order, and there was a tacit understanding not to mention the marriage, but Ma Qiancheng didn't want to leave so soon this time, at least he had to stay in the Qin Mansion for two days, so he blinked, his eyes were already filled with tears, and he saw Ma Qiancheng's facial features distorted into a ball, and said with a repentant face: "Although I have only met that Li Duwei once, but the two of us have a feeling of hating each other, and now Li Jun and I are already in the middle of life and death, and we will not see each other again in this life, I only hope that General Qin will allow me to pay respects at Li Jun's tomb, which can be regarded as untying the knot in my heart. ”
Qin Mu looked at Ma Qiancheng's complaining look, and his old face couldn't help twitching, this kid wouldn't like men.
