Chapter 155: The Taste of Being Wronged
"Pony, there is something strange about your attack, those few escaped city fox club rats, I and Lao Lei will help you check. There are so many things in your family, brother, I won't delay, and I'll come to you for a drink another day. β
Ma Ling nodded, this is a good brother.
The attackers were not all dead, although they knew that they were instructed by Yang Guozhong, but only a dozen people were the guards of the county king's mansion, and it was indeed necessary to find out where the rest of the people came from. Even if Yang Guozhong can't be moved for the time being, it is impossible for the other people involved in this matter to just forget it.
Nan Jiyun grabbed the long sword and walked out of the firewood room, and disappeared into the black shadow in an instant, out of Ma Lan's sight. Ma Lan secretly praised in his heart, Nanba's skills are really good, although he is inferior to himself in strength, his other self is really not comparable to him.
β¦β¦
Yang Youniang returned to the room, changed her clothes, picked up the delicate glass mirror on the table, looked at the flawless little face in the mirror, and her starry eyes were filled with tears.
This chic glass mirror was the last time she went to Anxi. She originally went to Anxi to kill the woman of the Gao family, but the sneak attack failed, but she was defeated by the woman.
After defeating her, the girl of the Gao family did not kill her, but gave her this glass mirror, telling her that Ma Lan was ready to marry her, and this mirror was made by Ma Lan himself, and it was a gift that Ma Lan was going to give her.
It was the first time she had seen such a clear mirror. From the mirror, she also knew for the first time how beautiful she was.
This time Ma Lan came to Chang'an, she prepared in the county marquis's mansion for several days, and then she couldn't help but go to the street to see him. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen tonight, and Ma Xuan would treat her so cruelly.
After staring blankly for a long time, Yang Youniang carefully put down the mirror and stood up, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked out of the room.
She didn't believe that her father did the assassination of her husband, and she needed to find out. All the big and small things in the family need to be handled by her, without her, the home is a mess, so many things happened tonight, she definitely can't come forward.
Walking to the front yard, dozens of Anxi men stood there around more than a dozen robed corpses, and the maid who came to the county marquis mansion from the Yang family with her stood in another corner, far away from the Anxi men. Outside the gate, the noisy sound of the cavalry of the Longwu Army can be heard, and the lights specially lit to celebrate the return of the county king are still bright, but they look extremely strange in the courtyard.
Seeing her walk out of the backyard, the Anxi men all looked over, and the maids quickly surrounded her, and everyone's eyes were a little strange.
"Who are Ma Yong and Ma Qiang?" Yang Youniang took a deep breath and looked at the Anxi men and said softly. She lived with Gao Qianqian for three days in Anxi and knew the names of the two brothers.
Ma Yong and Ma Qiang glanced at each other, walked out of the crowd, and arched their hands towards Yang Youniang. Ma Yong opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to call the person in front of him, so he had to close his mouth.
"You two work hard, go to the coffin shop in Fangkou and let them send some coffins over, this is not the East and West Market, and the door is still open at this time. They are all athletes who were born and died with the king of the county, so they can't just be left like this. Yang Youniang tried to stand up straight and said coldly.
That's the order. Ma Yong and Ma Qiang glanced at each other, nodded and walked away quickly.
Seeing that only the two of them went out, they didn't hold a blade in their hands, and the cavalry of the Longwu Army didn't stop them. Soon after, coffins were sent into the mansion one after another.
The corpses of the previous sneak attackers and rebel guards have been carried away by the Yamen, and the thirteen Anxi athletes who need to be restrained are killed. Yang Youniang ordered everyone to collect the bodies of the fallen athletes into the coffin, carry them to two empty rooms and place them, and then looked at the Anxi athletes and said: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will watch you wait for the martial arts performance at the Longwu Military Academy, Ma Yong, Ma Qiang, you wait to arrange for everyone to rest, don't miss the hour." Ten men were left to stand guard in the courtyard, and they were changed every hour. β
"Yes." Ma Yong and Ma Qiang responded at the same time.
There were many rooms in the front yard, and the athletes were scattered to various rooms to rest, and Ma Yong stood at the gate with nine athletes, and outside the door were five hundred cavalry of the Longwu Army holding torches high.
After arranging these things, Yang Youniang took the maids back to the backyard and told the maids to go back to rest, while she waited in the middle of the backyard.
Ma Lan walked out of the firewood room and saw Yang Youniang standing in the open space in the backyard, her thin figure looked quite pitiful, and she suddenly felt a little sorry in her heart, and walked forward slowly.
It's one thing to marry her or not, and tonight was a bit too much for her.
"It's all arranged, the soldiers are resting in the outer courtyard, and the bodies are all retracted. Tomorrow, our family will recruit guards again, and this time I will check them one by one, and there will definitely be no such thing in our family in the future. Yang Youniang bit her red lip hard and said in a low voice.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you for your hard work. Ma Lan sighed.
"Your room, I've cleaned it up for you. I'm staying in the next room, so you can call me whenever you want. Yang Youniang's voice trembled slightly, and her stubborn moist lips turned around and walked back.
"Wait!"
"Are you okay?" Yang Youniang paused, and her head did not tremble.
"Girl, can you tell me, who did you learn this ability from?" Ma Lan handed back Yang Youniang's short knife and said in a deep voice.
Yang Youniang turned around, took the short knife and put it in the sleeve cage, shook her head and said: "This is my own business, Master won't let me tell anyone, I promised her, you don't want to force me." β
Ma Lan nodded. This girl has already said so, it is really not appropriate to ask again tonight, let's find a chance in the future.
In fact, he didn't know what to do if he found Kang Xiaoyu. After all, those memories belong to the original Ma Lan, not to him.
Yang Youniang suddenly turned her head, stared at Ma Lan and said stubbornly: "Don't call me a girl in the future, I'm not a girl." I am your wife, and this marriage was given to us by the Son of Heaven, and you must not forget. β
After speaking, Yang Youniang touched the ground slightly, swept out like a light smoke, and entered a small courtyard. It was the place where Ma Lan lived when she was a child, and it seems that she has been living in this courtyard since she came here.
Ma Ling shook his head, walked to the front yard to take a look, everything was arranged in order, and then walked back.
Dozens of beautiful concubines are here, but tonight is clearly not the time to have fun. Ma Lan walked into the small courtyard where he lived as a child, saw two rooms with lights on, and knew that the other was Yang Youniang's room, so he walked into his own room when he was young.
The room was clean, but not luxurious, and looked extremely comfortable. Ma Lu and Yi lay down, thinking about what happened that day, and slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how long later, Ma Lan suddenly heard a suppressed sobbing, but when he heard it, it was next door, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After all, it's just a little girl's family, and she hasn't done anything wrong, how can she not feel aggrieved after experiencing so many things in one day.
It was obviously inappropriate to comfort her at this time, Ma Lan listened to Yang Youniang's crying voice, but she couldn't sleep anymore.
β¦β¦
Inside the Yang Mansion, the night was also brightly lit, and there were also five hundred dragon warrior cavalry stationed outside the mansion gate. In the hall, several scribes sat in front of Yang Guozhong trembling, Yang Guozhong's expression was gloomy, and he paced back and forth irritably.
"The thief deceived me too much! I won't give up on this! Yang Guozhong suddenly slapped his palm on the pillar and shouted angrily.
"Tell me about it! What should I do tomorrow before the king, so that Your Majesty can dispose of this thief! Yang Guozhong looked at several scribes and said angrily.
"The prince of the country is angry. This is a strange matter, and we need to think about it in the long run. Your Majesty has already issued an edict that neither of them is allowed to mention this matter, and it may not be a good idea to forcibly argue in front of the king tomorrow. A scribe spoke boldly.
"But that's it? I'm unwilling, unwilling! Yang Guozhong shouted angrily, "I am still the first prime minister who has been bullied like this since the beginning of the century!" At this time, if it is just like that, what face will stand above the court in the future? β
Another scribe spoke: "Ma Renjie is the son-in-law of the Duke of the Kingdom, and it is also a good thing for the Duke of Guo to join the ranks, and the son-in-law is the prime minister, and the Duke of the Kingdom will not worry about Chen Xilie's division of power. Such a good thing, but now it has come to this point, and the lower officials dare to say that it is really not wise for the prince to act today. β
When Yang Guozhong heard this, he walked over and kicked the scribe. The scribe screamed miserably and shouted, "Guogong, loyalty is against the ear, and the lower official is also for the sake of Guogong, so he told the truthββ"
Before the scribe finished speaking, Yang Guozhong kicked it again and directly hit the scribe's face. The scribe screamed, covering his face and not daring to speak.
"Bastard thing! You even think that the original phase ambushed the thief! Yang Guozhong said angrily, and then looked at the other people and said hatefully, "What about you? Do you think the same way? Do you also think that the assassination of the thief was instigated by the prime minister? β
Several people looked at each other, and they all bowed their heads. The scribe who was kicked twice covered his face and said vaguely: "Today on the Qinzheng Building, Xiangye attacked Ma Lan, and the assassin of Ma Lan had a large number of guards sent by the Yang Mansion to the Ma family. This matter said that it had nothing to do with the Yang family, and Mo said that the Son of Heaven didn't believe it, and I was afraid that no one in Chang'an City would believe it. β
Yang Guozhong kicked over again, but the scribe was already on guard this time, and rolled on the spot to dodge.
"Wronged! This is really wronged! It turns out that being wronged is such a taste, I'm angry, I'm angry! Yang Guozhong jumped like thunder and roared loudly.
The beaten scribe had a look of appreciation on his face and said, "Such a thing cannot be admitted under any circumstances. The prince of the country will see His Majesty tomorrow, if His Majesty does not ask, if he asks about it, the prince of the country will be like this. It must be known that Lao Tzu does not let go, the gods are difficult to start, and the master does not admit it, and no one can do it. β
"Do you still think it's the same thing?" When Yang Guozhong heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he pointed at the scribe and said angrily, "Li Mi! Tomorrow, I will play Your Majesty, Nanzhao Pavilion Luo Feng has repeatedly violated the border in Jiannan Road, and you will take command and go to Jiannan Road to quell the chaos! β
The scribe was startled, and hurriedly begged: "The prince spares his life!" The prince spares his life! Xia Guan is just a scribe, how can he move a knife and a gun? β
"That's it! If you can't beat Ge Luofeng, you will die in Nanzhao! Yang Guozhong said angrily, and then forced his eyes on the other people, "Now who of you thinks that Benxiang sent someone to ambush that thief?" Who else! (To be continued.) )
