Chapter 247: Revenge, Revenge, Revenge, Revenge
The Guangling cavalry rushed in, and at a cursory glance, there was no big loss in numbers.
Seeing this scene, Wang Teng's gloomy face changed a little.
The horsemen are all baby bumps, and losing one of them is a huge loss.
After a while, Zhou Yuji came to Wang Teng's side, "My lord, I made my own decisions and attacked without permission, please punish my lord."
Wang Teng frowned, "Rescuing friendly troops, this is an internal matter, what is the crime?" Did Marco escape, though? β
"My lord, Ma Ke didn't die, he escaped", Zhou Yuji breathed a sigh of relief, Ma Ke people are tired of seeing people, this is something that Zhou knows, he saved him, and it is very likely that he will be punished, fortunately, Wang Teng is extraordinary, and he has no worries.
Good people don't live long, disasters live for thousands of years, Ma Ke didn't die, Wang Teng was not surprised, "How many people and horses are there in Ma Ke?" β
"Less than six hundred"
"Liu Zongmin is just a striker?"
"Yes, I heard that Jiannu is in Koubian again, and the imperial court has already issued an order to send a large army north, but I am afraid that the superintendent's plan to suppress bandits will be destroyed again."
Wang Teng's face was gloomy, "So, it is very likely that the Liukou will come to the city again?" β
"Exactly"
"You rescued Ma Ke because you wanted him to stay in Shouyang."
Zhou Yuji was greatly admired, "Adults are like gods, and they are humbly admired."
Wang Teng narrowed his eyes, "Ma Ke lost his troops, but I'm afraid he won't stay obediently."
"My lord, this is beyond him"
"Oh? Why? β
"Didn't your lord tell us to keep an eye on the convoy of people? Just now, we seized a grain team, which is owned by the Fan family."
Wang Teng laughed, "So, Ma Ke has already completed the deal with Fan's?" β
"Yes, although Fan vigorously denied it, there are marks in the warehouse on the grain bags, and they can't deny it."
Wang Teng didn't expect Ma Ke to hide from the world and complete the transaction without him, fortunately Zhou Yuji was clever, otherwise wouldn't Ma Ke succeed?
Now, everyone has stolen goods, just waiting for Marco to come to the door!
Ma Ke didn't let Wang Teng wait long, and an hour later, he came to the door, "Lord Wang, I heard that you detained a grain team?" β
Wang Teng did not deny it, "Yes, the Fan grain team actually sold the grain from the warehouse, this is a big crime, I am ready to play the superintendent and ask the court to severely punish such thieves."
Ma Ketie blushed, "Lord Wang, can you give me a face and spare them this time?" β
Wang Teng frowned, "Didn't Master Ma go out of the city to suppress bandits?" How to get in touch with a caravan? β
Ma Ke snorted coldly, "Wang Shoubei, why do you knowingly ask, where did Fan's grain come from, don't you know?" β
This guy really doesn't know whether to live or die, it's already at this time, and he still refuses to give in, do you really think that the Guangling Army is all mud?
Wang Teng's face changed, "Master Ma, I only know that the grain in the warehouse is gone, as for how they got into the hands of the Fan family, how can I know?" β
Ma Ke lost the battle, and it was when he was angry in his heart, so he said in a cold voice at the moment: "Wang Shoubei, let's open the skylight and say something, I sold the grain, what do you want?" β
Wang Teng seemed to be smiling, "Is Master Ma joking with me?" You are an official of the imperial court, how can you know the law and break the law? Don't mention this matter again, otherwise others will only laugh at it if they hear it."
Ma Ke was furious, "Wang Teng, you don't want to pretend to be garlic, you have to let go of the caravan, if there is any way you draw out, I will follow!" β
"Master Ma, it's not interesting for you to say that."
"You moved the caravan first, not that I didn't know the rules."
Huang Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and sneered loudly, "Master Ma, is this how you treat your life-saving benefactor?" β
Marco's face was full of disdain, "What lifesaver, what nonsense are you talking about?" β
Zhou Yuji sighed, "My lord was trapped in the Ma Clan's courtyard an hour ago, and it was I who led people to attack the thief army to create an opportunity for you, otherwise, with Liu Zongmin's ability, how could the adult retreat?" β
It turns out that the sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard is really Guanglingjun's!
It's going to be a tough one, and if you admit it, Marco is bound to owe a lot of favors!
The top priority is to deny it vigorously, only in this way can you go toe-to-toe with Wang Teng, what nonsense are you talking about? What reinforcements? Why didn't I see it? It's obvious that I rushed out with my people, what do you have to do with it? β
Zhou Yuji's face turned red, and he was very annoyed, he had known that Ma Ke was such a good, and he would never risk rescuing.
Huang Hu was upright by nature, and scolded directly: "How can there be such a brazen person in the world!" β
Marco was annoyed, "Shut up, what are you, there's no place for you to talk here!" β
Huang Hu drew a knife in his hand, "Lao Tzu is nothing, but Liu Zongmin is a defeated general under Lao Tzu, it is better than you, losing troops and losing the face of the court."
Marco trembled, "You, damn it! β
Huang Hu smiled coldly, and he had the intention of drawing his sword against each other.
The atmosphere became tense, the Guangling Army and Ma Ke's soldiers and horses did not give in, seeing that a fight was inevitable, at this time, Wang Teng stood up, "Yellow Tiger, retreat!" β
Huang Hu was very unhappy, "My lord! β
"Stand down!"
Huang Hu walked out step by step.
No matter how bad Ma Ke is, he is also an official of the imperial court, and he must not die here.
Wang Teng doesn't want to kill officials and rebel, his foundation is in Ulzhou, and he can't move away!
That's the daily income of the gold, and there can be no mistakes.
Now that the two sides have torn face, there is no need to say polite words, Wang Teng went straight to the topic, "Master Ma, I want to make a deal with you."
Marco glared angrily, "Say! β
"Jiannu has already gone south, I want to lead the army north, but this Shouyang City can't be guarded"
It is possible to face the vicious Jiannu in the north, and compared to the very spicy Jiannu, the Liukou is nothing at all.
Marco wondered, where does it need to be so complicated if that's just that?
To put it bluntly, Marco didn't want to rush back to the north to die.
How good Shouyang City is, as long as the shortage of soldiers is filled, there is no need to be afraid of it at all by relying on the means of the Liukou.
"Yes!"
Marco cleanly agreed to stay.
Wang Teng was not surprised, "The army is open, you can't do it without silver, Master Ma has just made a big business, can you donate some?" β
This is going to rip off the bamboo!
For a long time, only Ma Ke knocked on other people's bamboo poles, how could there ever be a time when he was knocked by others?
Marco gritted his teeth and "gurgled", "One thousand taels!" β
Wang Teng sneered, one thousand taels of silver was not enough for him to stuff his teeth, "Five thousand taels!" β
Marco jumped to his feet, "Are you crazy? In total, four thousand taels of silver were sold in the storehouse! Where will I go to find you five thousand taels".
Wang Teng laughed for a long time, "Haven't you forgotten? Before the end of the month, the squire of Shouyang begged me to suppress the bandits, but you robbed me halfway, and you received the silver, but the rogues were exterminated by me."
Ma Ke still stiffened, "You haven't wiped it out, if Shouyang sings and dances, how can I be under siege, Wang Teng, don't go too far."
"Six thousand taels!"
"You!"
Wang Teng shook his head, "Seven thousand taels!" But I have heard that the gentry have offered four thousand taels of silver, and even if I were given seven thousand taels, the lord would still have something to earn."
Ma Ke pointed at Wang Teng and was furious, "Wang Teng, you deceive people too much."
Wang Teng only felt that most of the resentment in the past few days had come out, "Master Ma, selling official food without permission is a big crime, I heard that Lu Dusheng hated the country the most in his life, do you want to defy the law?" β
Fortunately, there were only Ma Ke and Wang Teng left in the house, and there was no one else, otherwise, Ma Ke would be embarrassed and thrown home, he took a few deep breaths, "Five thousand taels is five thousand taels, as long as you release people, I will give you the silver."
Wang Teng shook his head, "It's seven thousand taels, and I will only release people when I see the silver."
Ma Ke threatened loudly: "Wang Teng, you are just a small guard, five thousand taels of silver, we are still good brothers!" β
"Seven thousand taels, not a penny less"
Ma Ke leaned close to Wang Teng's ear and said in a cold voice: "If you receive seven thousand taels, you and I will meet again, we will be undying enemies, Wang Teng, you have to think clearly."
Wang Teng pretended to think about it for a while, "Master Ma, I've thought about it, it's more important to be silver!" β
This is a naked humiliation, doesn't it mean that Marco's friendship is not even worth three thousand taels of silver?
Ma Ke laughed angrily, "Okay, good you Wang Teng, I underestimated you, seven thousand taels of silver, not a penny!" β
Wang Teng took a good time, "In this way, then thank you Master Ma."
Ma Ke brushed his sleeves away, "Wang Teng, if you break your promise and get fat, no one in heaven and on earth can save you."
Wang Teng was noncommittal, Ma Ke owed him, he had already collected the principal with interest, as for the future to turn against each other?
Who's afraid of whom?
Maybe Wang Teng will be promoted again!
A general, what's so scary!
Ma Ke left with his front foot, and Huang Hu, Zhou Yuji and others rushed into the hall, "My lord, what's wrong?" β
Wang Teng smiled: "Everything is under control."
"Marco agreed to our terms?"
"Seven thousand taels of silver, release people when you see the silver"
Huang Hu was surprised, "Didn't you say five thousand taels?" β
"I want to charge some interest, can't I?"
Zhou Yuji grinned, "This time Ma Ke is bleeding heavily, haha."
"Look at his mournful face, Zhou Yuji, thanks to you, if you hadn't rescued him, wouldn't we have been able to receive this silver?"
Zhou Yuji was in a good mood, he didn't expect Wang Teng to have such a clever means, and he made Ma Ke admit it in a few words.
Spit out the meat to the mouth, this is not an easy task.
That night, Ma Ke sent someone to bring silver, and Wang Teng released him as promised.
Seven thousand taels of silver, Rao is Wang Teng is used to seeing silver, and he is still a little complacent for a while.
This silver is different from other silver, it was taken from the hands of Marco, and there is an extra sense of accomplishment!
It feels great to be prey, and I'm going to do it in the future!
Early the next morning, Lu Xiangsheng's messenger arrived in Shouyang City, "The superintendent is very pleased that the king has recovered Shouyang, and if it is not for the military emergency, the superintendent will personally condole."
Wang Teng was sitting precariously, "I don't know where the superintendent is now?" β
"Jiannu's offensive is fierce, and the superintendent personally went to the north of the army, and now he is on his way"
Ma Ke handed over the silver, and looked like he had no love, and his eyes were blank at this time, as if he had suffered a huge blow, which surprised the messenger.
In the end, Wang Tengjing asked himself, "Dare to ask my lord, this Shouyang City doesn't know that the superintendent has a river plan?" β
"The superintendent said, Shouyang City can leave a group of men and horses to garrison, and the other part of the men and horses can go north first, and the army will arrive soon."
Wang Teng laughed, "I have already discussed with Master Ma, Master Ma will stay in Shouyang, and my people will go north, right, Lord Ma?" β
Marco snorted coldly and slowly bowed his head, "Yes, that's right."
The envoy understood that Ma Ke was very unhappy with Wang Teng, but he was quite jealous between his words, he was a third-grade general, how could he take a five-grade garrison?
I have long heard that Wang Teng of Ulzhou has something extraordinary, but now it seems that it is true!
The envoy looked at his nose and nose and his heart, and if he didn't say much, it didn't matter to him, and he didn't want to get involved in an inexplicable battle.
After chatting about business, it was naturally a banquet session.
Wang Teng generously took the silver and presented it to the messenger, "My lord came from afar, it is very hard, this is a little bit of my heart to wait, and please don't mind."
The envoy was quite surprised, this silver was at least a hundred taels away.
Wang Teng has such a big arm.
"Lord Wang, this is too polite."
"Your Excellency is relieved, this silver is the proceeds of seizure, not the people's fat and people's ointment, and your lordship can enjoy it with confidence."
Ma Ke was so angry that his nose was crooked, Wang Teng borrowed flowers in front of him to offer Buddha, which was clearly to disgust him, "Use it slowly, Ma is unwell, so I will leave!" β
With that, Marco walked away.
The messenger was eye-opening, "Lord Ma, this is ......"
"My lord doesn't know, a few days ago, Lord Ma went out of the city to suppress bandits, and accidentally fell into the tricks of the rogues, and he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, I guess he touched the scene."
"So that's the case, Lord Wang, Inspector Lu has a lot of praise for you, and you and I will have to be closer in the future."
"My lord laughed, Wang is just the courage of a horseman, it all depends on your lordship, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future."
The messenger often walks under Lu Xiangsheng's tent, and is half of Lu Xiangsheng's protΓ©gΓ©, without Ma Ke's eyesore, the two talk about the past and the present, and they hate to see each other late, and there are signs of talking in detail all night.
Some people are happy and some people are worried, the more Ma Ke thought about it after leaving the table, the more angry he became, and he was inexplicably put on the side by Wang Teng, and his mood was very bad.
A five-grade garrison, where did the courage come from to dare to provoke the Ming generals?
No, if you don't take revenge, you won't be a man!
Marco gritted his teeth and vowed revenge.
Whoever has such a thing will not swallow his anger, and besides, Ma Ke has always been arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't think Wang Teng is a character at all!
Daming's garrison has not a thousand but eight hundred, even if you trample one to death, what is it?
However, the only thing worth worrying about is that Lu Xiangsheng seems to appreciate Wang Teng, in this case, there must be no omissions when starting!
By the way, I heard that Jin Shang and Wang Teng are not on good terms, look for them! (To be continued.) )
