"I'm wronged, Grandpa Ma, the slave really never stole the princess's jade bracelet, this is someone harming me, Grandpa Ma!"

Outside the Cining Palace, the beautiful female official was lying on the bench, four little eunuchs pressed her hands and feet, and the two little eunuchs held the board on the left and right, and hit her plump buttocks with a crackling sound.

Ma Yongcheng's face was blue, and his lips were pursed into a line. He was not only annoyed that Yang Ling had saved his face, but also annoyed that this female official had the audacity to steal the treasures given by the emperor.

Originally, stealing things in the palace was the most serious thing to beat, and then sent to hard labor. But today, the queen just entered the palace, and she made this incident and lost the royal face, and the queen mother couldn't care about feeling sorry for this maid who had been waiting for her for many years, and ordered Gu Dayong to call the little eunuch to beat her to death.

Ma Yongcheng was executing the sentence while thinking about how to save her, thinking about it, only the Queen Mother was soft-hearted for a while and pardoned her capital crimes, but they were slaves, of course, everything was good when they were favored, and when they fell out of favor, it was not the master who decided life and death with a word, and he had no way to plead with the Queen Mother, so he could only suffer here, hoping that the Queen Mother would change her mind, or which lady and princess would come forward to intercede for her.

The female officer had been beaten to the flesh, and when she saw that Ma Yongcheng's pestle was there without squeaking, how could she know that Ma Yongcheng was thinking, and said that he was going to kill people, and couldn't help crying and scolding: "Ma Yongcheng, do you really want to beat me to death?" If you don't save you when you die, I will denounce you to the Queen Mother, and I will honor you."

Hearing this, Ma Yongcheng suddenly took a step forward, snatched the board in the little eunuch's hand, and slapped it on the female official's ear with a round "whew", which made her head tremble, and a pool of purple and black blood slowly overflowed from the ear, the female official's eyes widened, staring at Ma Yongcheng deadly, her body trembled sharply, and she slowly collapsed on the bench without sound.

Ma Yongcheng's eyes were shining with fierce light, he handed the board back to the little eunuch, and said coldly: "What are you still doing standing stupidly, go back to the Empress Dowager, the cheap maid who stole the treasure was punished but died, please be merciful to the Empress Dowager and allow her to be buried."

Yang Ling saw Ma Yongcheng's face full of hideousness, and the kind of cool color and the gentle appearance of the plain low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes were like the two of them, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Ma Yongcheng glanced at Yang Ling with a blushing face, and said with a strong hatred in his heart: "Lord Yang, this cheap maid has caused the princess and the queen to lose their faces, and they deserve this punishment.

Although this female official is cunning and shady, but the crime does not lead to death, now it can be said that it is his bad idea that has harmed people, Yang Ling is uneasy, and he can't bear to look at the dead female corpse with staring straight eyes, and he can't help but silently follow Ma Yongcheng out of the harem.

Zhengde heard that he killed a female official who was a thief, but he didn't care at all, he had eaten and drunk, and he hadn't slept well for two consecutive nights, so he was really tired, and after talking, he fell asleep.

Yang Ling wanted to rectify the female official, so that this evil slave would suffer a retribution, who expected to be discovered today, the idea was out of him, in order to save the princess, he killed a person in vain, although this person is not a good person, he was also a little uneasy in his heart, at this time he saw Ma Yongcheng standing next to the Zhengde couch, his face was sinister, although he did not dare to vent to himself, but obviously extremely resentful, he had no way to ease the relationship between them, so he had to sigh lightly and walked out silently.

Gu Dayong quietly followed, and when he saw him sitting alone, he leaned over and sat beside him and asked knowingly: "Lord Yang, now that the emperor has given the lord two beautiful concubines, I don't know how many ministers in the court are so envious, why are you still depressed?" ”

Yang Ling sighed and said what he could say. Gu Dayong couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and said disapprerovingly: "What is a dead slave?" The bad-tempered concubines in the harem have a lot of things to do to beat their maids to death for a little bit.

These snobbish servants rely on the ancestral system to bully the master, and those golden branches and jade leaves do not dare to speak up, our family has often heard of it, I don't know how many princesses secretly applauded today's affairs, why should Lord Yang blame himself? ”

Yang Ling smiled bitterly, it was difficult to say that he had instructed the two princesses to rectify the female official, and the female official was true to deceive the lord and steal, but he didn't have the courage to steal the treasures given by the emperor.

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Dayong glanced at the inner hall and lowered his voice and said, "But adults should be careful about this matter today, our family is very unhappy when we see Grandpa Ma's face."

Yang Ling nodded and said, "This official knows that the female official and Ma Gong have a very good relationship, and this incident has indeed offended him."

Gu Da said with a straight color: "Why not offend? Lord Yang, Gonggong Ma is the surname of Jianyu, not to mention that the Lord has swept his face hard, he still doesn't hate you? It's just that the saint is in Zhenglong, and he is about to become the supervisor of the inner factory, and he is at a loss, so he doesn't dare to offend you."

Yang Ling said hesitantly: "Although that female official has something to do with him, he won't always be angry with me because of this matter, right?" ”

Gu Dayong said: "This is not a trivial matter for him, Lord Yang, he said that he can't protect this female official today, how can others believe that he can protect the second one?" He has just served as the head of the inner palace, how can he be powerful to people? The minions in the palace are very snobbish, the people in the six palaces and twenty bureaus are all watching, Ma Gonggong has just taken the throne, he has received benefits from others, but he can't protect others, who will be filial to buy him in the future?

In the past, our family said that they followed Li Guang and Li Gonggong to mix food in Dongchang, and the things in this officialdom can be seen clearly, sometimes the two gangs of people fight upside down, and the quarrel is known to the world, but the two sides quarrel and quarrel, and in the end they always die down, big things turn into small things, and small things are turned into small things, just because there is no sharp word in it. But sometimes a small thing that seems inconspicuous is the bane of your life and death, just because the interests are at stake."

It's a small thing for you to save his face, but you cut off his wealth, you say that he is annoyed, you are not annoyed? His power and status are not as good as adults, even if he hates you to the bone, he doesn't have to be afraid, but the adults are about to take charge of the inner factory, and when the time comes, he will accept the tax supervisor and compete with the East Factory for profit, what do you say will happen to the master of ceremonies and the father-in-law of the East Factory? Lord Yang, you are kind to others, but don't think of others as kind people, you don't hurt people's hearts, but others harm you."

Yang Ling looked at Gu Dayong in disbelief, Gu Dayong saw that he had heard his own words, and was about to say a few more words, when suddenly a big eunuch walked in outside and asked, "What about the emperor?" ”

When Gu Dayong saw that it was Gonggong Fan of Dongchang, he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Gonggong Fan, how many more drinks has the emperor drunk and is resting?" ”

Fan Ting sighed, turned around to leave, and suddenly saw Yang Ling, couldn't help but stand up, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Lord Yang, our family heard today that the emperor is going to open an internal factory, supervise two factories and one guard, and accept the authority of tax supervision, this inner factory supervisor is Your Excellency, tsk tsk, good means, good means, it's really terrifying, hey!" How? By the way, this is called luring the wolf into the house! ”。

Yang Ling knew that Lao Wang Yue was not greedy for power, but two of his generals, Fan Ting in the East Factory and Miao Kui in the West Factory, each with ambitions, Fan Ting and Zhang Xiu brought him into the palace at the beginning, just to have a favored person by the future emperor's side, but he expected that the favor would become their henchmen, no wonder he was angry.

Yang Ling showed weakness and retreated: "Father-in-law Fan, the lower officials also drove ducks to the shelves, and they were forced to respond to this mission. In fact, there are two factories and one guard, how can you use to open the inner factory again, the lower officials have no one and no money, but it is just a small fight, maybe one day the emperor will withdraw if it is not pleasing to the eye, why should the father-in-law mustard himself? ”

The strength of the East Factory is too strong, Miao Kui is in charge of the West Factory and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he is responsible for supervising the East Factory, but he does not dare to plunder its edge, and he has repeatedly been deflated in the hands of the East Factory, Yang Ling does not want to offend such a powerful person.

Unexpectedly, his words touched Fan Ting's sore spot, Fan Ting sneered, and said in a strange manner: "Lord Yang is more profitable than Miao Kui, this time he has robbed the authority of the tax supervisor, and the silver in your hands can be piled up every year, and you still say that there is no money?" However, none of the tax supervisors released outside are fuel-efficient lamps, and Lord Yang wants them to be obedient, but he needs to put a little more thought."

Fan Ting flicked his sleeves and walked out. Gu Dayong said softly: "Lord Yang, how is it?" This is a sharp word, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, the court is Vanity Fair, it is a river and lake, mixed in this rivers and lakes, and a careless is a sharp knife and a neck. Father-in-law Fan has become jealous of you, you just want to avoid it, and he will not give you a chance to turn over in order to eradicate future troubles.

The news of the opening of the inner factory has spread out, it is like riding a tiger's back, this west factory is built and has to be built, not built and built, to be built and built quickly, adults do not have the strength to compete with him, do you have to wait for him to clean you up step by step? ”

Yang Ling thought of Ma Yongcheng's hideous and fierce eyes, remembered Fan Ting's ill-intentioned sneer, remembered that the foreign ministers regarded him as a annihilator, and the eunuchs now had murderous intentions against him, and couldn't help but feel a little creepy: Now that it is really in danger and killing every step of the way, what should I do?

Gu Dayong was still chattering: "Lord Yang, Dayong did errands in the East Factory in the past, and the adults set up the inner factory, if there is a place that can be used in our house, although Gu Dayong does not dare to say that it is useful, but he really wants to make plans for adults and serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Yang Ling's mind had already flown away, and he couldn't hear it at all.
