Chapter 138: Door-to-door trouble
Ma Chao took someone to join Xin Qiji, Xin Qiji heard that Nameless and his son had told Ma Chao about him, so he was naturally happy, not only warmly entertained, but also arranged a place for Ma Chao. Xin Qiji originally wanted Ma Chao to enter the court as an official, but Ma Chao insisted on being a horse doctor in Xin Qiji's mansion.
On this day, Guiyang Zhijun Zhao Shanjue came to visit, Guiyang Tanzhou is also an important state and county in Hunan, and Zhao Shanjue is now in charge of the Guiyang Army. Guiyang Jun dealt with Xin Zhi and Ma Chao, that kind of thing was done secretly by Zhao Shanjue, and it couldn't be discussed in court.
Xin Qijian frowned and said, "Please!" ”
No matter how Guiyang Jun treats Xin Qiji, the politeness on the surface is still inevitable, and he enters the hall to serve tea.
Zhao Shanjue is a literati, and bowing his head slightly to Xin Qiji is considered a salute. Xin Qiji also wondered why Zhao Shanjue came? Before he came to ask carefully, Zhao Shanjue said: "I have a small official named Zhao Liang. I was my son, but I haven't heard from me for many days, and I didn't expect to be killed by a traitor. ”
Zhao Liang's death, Xin Qiji knew about it, but pretended not to know and said: "There is still such a thing!" ”
Xin Qiji is not a sleek person, he has an upright temperament, and he can say this kind of thing, also because he is more than forty years old after all. If he was young, when he encountered this kind of villain in front of him and behind him, Xin Qiji's sword would have been beckoned long ago.
Zhao Shanjue said: "Of course there will be this. Then he looked at Xin Qiji's face, and then continued: "The person who killed my child Zhao Liang that day was a vicious villain, and the official heard that this villain is now a horse doctor in Tanzhou Mansion. ”
Xin Qiji's face was not good-looking at that time, and Zhao Shanjue was obviously here to ask for someone. Although Ma Chao has been a horse doctor, his status is low. But in Xin Qiji's eyes, it is necessary to cultivate Ma Chao into the next generation of generals.
Xin Qiji's face was too straightforward, and he was easily captured by Zhao Shanjue, Zhao Shanjue smiled secretly in his heart, thinking to himself This time, look at you, the upright Lord Xin Qiji, how to ride the tiger down.
This time, Zhao Shanjue was a little unable to get off the stage, and he couldn't draw his sword, Xin Qiji was very angry in his heart, but he had to order: "Call the horse doctor in the house." The next person went to spread Xin Qiji's words, and after a while, Nameless came and whispered a few words to Xin Qiji.
The corners of Xin Qiji's mouth twitched, he stood up, and pretended to be angry and said, "How big can my mansion be, how can I not even find a person, how can I explain to Lord Zhao!" ”
Zhao Shanjue snorted coldly, thinking, it's not that you Xin Qiji didn't want to hand over this person, he was thinking about a strategy, how to force Xin Qiji to hand over Ma Chao, but he didn't expect that Xin Qiji actually stood up and said: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, I'll go find it myself, and I will definitely give Lord Zhao an explanation today." ”
After Xin Qiji finished speaking, he pretended to be angry and walked out of the living room, Nameless followed behind with his head bowed, and then made a look, and those servants who were serving were smart and followed Nameless out.
Nameless whispered a few words to the servant, and the servant went back, whispered a few words between the maid and the servant, and quietly withdrew.
Zhao Shanjue was bored, and felt that the tea was not bad, so he drank a few more cups, but he didn't expect that there was no one to wait, and no one answered after shouting twice. Zhao Shanjue was even more in the atmosphere, thinking to himself what was going on in this Tanzhou Mansion, and why the maids and servants were so unruly.
When he was angry, he saw a man in a short shirt running in with his head bowed.
"Hurry up and serve tea, so inconsiderate, be careful that I let Lord Xin break your dog's legs!"
Unexpectedly, the person who came in raised his head, and said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "Hello Lord Zhao, I am the horse doctor you are looking for, my name is Ma Chao!" “
