Chapter 125: Bear the Burden of Humiliation
When the factory and guards were in full swing, no one thought that Ma Wensheng would run out to fight,—— in fact, it should have been thought of, after all, a group of strangers ran to their house for no reason to fight, and no one would be too happy. Ma Shangshu's reaction was normal, but unfortunately he was not athletic enough.
I have to criticize Ma Daren's ignorance of current affairs, he has lived for more than seventy years, at least he should know the life principle of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, he can bask in the sun on the patio of the yard with a stove, and it is obviously a little self-conscious for young people to take risks when they fight in a group, compared to Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Qin Hong, who did a very good job, when the civil officials in the household hall fought, they ran the fastest and flashed the farthest was Qin Shangshu, at this point, Ma Shangshu should humbly learn from Qin Shangshu.
There was a fierce battle in the front hall of the Ma Mansion, and no one noticed that there was an important minister lying at their feet, and everyone was angry, and there was no pressure to fight.
Factory guards have accumulated too many contradictions over the years, large and small arms fights often occur, usually do not agree with the word, everyone is enthusiastic when they do it, naturally do not pay much attention to the details of choosing the location of the battle, where to see where to start fighting, the same is true today.
Today's fight Dongchang is at a disadvantage, Qin Kan has more people, and the thousands of households take the lead in fighting, and the morale of Jinyiwei's subordinates is generally relatively high, and it has been stabilizing the Dongchang since the beginning of the battle.
When the battle was nearing the end, a pig-like shout suddenly came from the front hall: "Master, what's wrong with you? Wake up! You gang of killers stop quickly, so bold, you actually beat up the officials of the court, aren't you afraid of killing your head? ”
This shout finally brought the two sides of the fight back to their souls, and everyone looked down. Ma Wensheng lay motionless in the center of the battlefield, silent, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper lay on Ma Shangshu's body and wailed, this picture is very reminiscent of an unlucky scene......
The two sides were suddenly shocked, this fight naturally couldn't go on, and the most panicked were Qin Kan and the foreman of the East Factory, after all, the two were leaders. I can't get rid of it.
Pinch people, shake shoulders, rub temples...... The crowd has exhausted all methods. Ma Shangshu, who was innocently shot, finally woke up in the eyes of everyone.
Qin Kan breathed a long sigh of relief, and was afraid after rejoicing.
Fortunately, Ma Wensheng is fine, otherwise Emperor Hongzhi would definitely make him look like a terracotta warrior. They were buried together in the mausoleum of Ma Shangshu.
After closing his eyes and gasping for breath for a while, Ma Wensheng opened his eyes, looked at Qin Kan and the foreman of Dongchang with a relieved face, his eyes swirled back and forth on the faces of the two, and then he said inexplicably: "You two bastards, are you here to protect the old man, or are you here to kill the old man?" ”
Qin Kan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Lord Ma, forgive me, the lower official was reckless, and he accidentally injured the adult, and he deserved to die." ”
The knees of the foreman of the East Factory are relatively soft. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground and slapped himself a few times, the slaps were heavy and loud, and Ma Wensheng and Qin Kan were extremely relieved.
After the foreman finished repenting, Ma Wensheng's old eyes glanced at Qin Kan expectantly. Obviously, the old man wanted Qin Kan to follow the foreman's confession mode a few times, but Qin Kan flickered, quickly looked away, and pretended not to see it.
When you are older, you should understand the truth of Changle, the foreman has slapped himself on behalf of everyone, and it is a bit too much to be unforgiving. Is a lot of age alive to the belly of a dog?
Ma Wensheng sighed lightly with a little disappointment, and gasped: "There is another matter, who was the first to kick the old man with his foot just now?" ”
Qin Kan paused again, and then pointed at the foreman of the East Factory in a very exaggerated angry tone: "Your East Factory is too good!" Dare to do this to the official of the court! Aren't you afraid of losing your head? ”
Ding Shun and other Jinyi guards immediately echoed in unison, and the accusations of righteous words swept away towards the Dongchang fans, and the Dongchang fans were not to be outdone and replied a few words, but they couldn't fight the Jinyi guards, and the voices were loud, and the bickering mouth was gradually at a disadvantage. …,
The foreman of the East Factory was stunned, his expression was innocent and sad and indignant, his lips squirmed a few times, but he wanted to argue, in the righteous accusations of Qin Kan and his minions, under the fierce and angry gaze of Ma Shangshu, the foreman looked up to the sky in despair and sighed, and then gritted his teeth fiercely, slapped himself again in front of everyone, again and again......
So Ma Wensheng and Qin Kan began to watch this pleasing scene again, looking very pleased...... After all, Lao Ma is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and he has participated in many battles between officials in the court, which can be described as a battle-hardened battle, and everyone is short-tempered, so he understands the mood of both sides of the brawl very well.
After the factory guards fought this fight, they reached a tacit understanding without saying a word, that is, no one would quit, and they each sent people to guard the Ma Mansion, Fanzi and the school captain were in the same place, each performing their duties, and the factory guard participated in the protection of Ma Wensheng at the same time.
It is an opportunity and a challenge, everyone understands the danger that Ma Shangshu is about to encounter, and they all understand what a great credit it will be if they take down that gang of lawless thieves, Ma Wensheng has become a piece of fat that the factory guards are desperately fighting for, and no one will retreat and compromise.
Qin Kan didn't dare to slack off, every corner of the Ma Mansion, every wall, inside and outside the sentry and dark piles were properly arranged, and the one hundred seconded musketeers of the Shenji Battalion were also arranged in a row in the front yard, no matter whether Ma Wensheng went in or out, he was surrounded by countless bodyguards, and hundreds of people followed him every move, and his degree of style was not much better than that of the emperor.
Ma Wensheng was unhappy, and went to the palace again and again to ask Emperor Hongzhi to dismiss the bodyguards around him, otherwise the pomp was too big for fear that it would cause the official to participate in the impeachment, Emperor Hongzhi was really a rare wise lord, he just smiled when he heard the words, and he didn't care, and gently persuaded Ma Wensheng, special treatment in special periods, and then cut down the gang of thieves.
Ma Wensheng reluctantly accepted Emperor Hongzhi's kindness, and the old man probably understood that Haoran righteousness, who had been raised all his life, probably couldn't stop the knife, and he slashed at it. No matter how Haoran is, he has to die.
So Qin Kan also became Ma Wensheng's personal bodyguard.
Accompanying Ma Shangshu to the court, the next court, the office of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, going home, etc., every move was within Qin Kan's line of sight, watching Ma Wensheng work diligently. Plain and poor life, every meal with the old wife is just a meat, a vegetarian and a bowl of rice, and after eating, go into the study to review official documents or read books......
Quietly watch it all. Qin Kan couldn't help but have respect for Ma Wensheng.
is indeed a respectable public servant who is wholeheartedly selfless and desireless, and is still struggling for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty in his old age, in his old body. There is a belief that is harder than steel, which supports him to silently burn himself out until death.
The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was by no means achieved by the emperor's personal will, and this prosperous era was created by a wise monarch and a group of loyal ministers who worked together for a lifetime.
As small as a family's business, as large as a country's fortune, it is always carefully accumulated by one or a few diligent and thrifty ancestors. The fortunes of the family and the country are often lost in one day, and the fruits of the ancestors' lifelong efforts are in vain...... If Ma Mansion talks about the scenery, it is not as good as the house that Qin Kan bought at all, but Ma Shangshu has the interest of swimming, as if his humble mansion is as comfortable as a luxury mansion. It's hard to imagine that this is the residence of the hottest officials of the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Qin Kan had no choice but to accompany his old man to the garden.
It was already winter, the cold wind was cold, and a few sparse locust trees in the backyard of Mafu had already been bald, adding to the meaning of the sparse winter day. …,
Ma Wensheng slowed down, and Qin Kan followed suit, perhaps because Qin Kan saved Ma Shangshu's life. It can be seen that Ma Lao has a good impression of Qin Kan, and the old and the young chatted quite deed.
"Three years ago, the more than 30 generals in Xuanfu were indeed fired by the old man, and the evidence of their greed for food and salary of the soldiers was conclusive, and the old man couldn't mix sand in his eyes. When Ma Wensheng said this, his expression was a little proud.
Then Ma Wensheng became a little gloomy, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's right to open them, but their family members and wives died unexpectedly, but it was really not the old man's doing, the old man has read the sage books all his life, how could he do such a desperate thing?" They misunderstood the old man, and this hatred of the old man was too wronged. ”
Qin Kanwen said: "The Qing is self-purifying, Lao Shangshu's life is bright, the world knows it, Zhou Gong's fear of rumors is also temporary, there is no unsolvable misunderstanding in the world, sooner or later there will be an explanation." ”
Ma Wensheng stroked his beard and smiled: "You will comfort people in this future life......
"It's a pity that there are more than 30 families of women and children......" Ma Wensheng's expression was full of indignation: "When the old man was ordered to patrol the border, in fact, there were more than 30 people who had problems, and the generals of the border army were greedy for ink, and the old man was worried that if he investigated too hard, it would cause turmoil and mutiny in the border army, so he only dismissed more than 30 people, and he didn't plan to investigate ...... when he was killing a hundred people."
Qin Kan nodded silently, Ma Wensheng's approach was right, if it was him, it would probably be the only way.
Ma Wensheng sighed, his expression became cold: "I originally thought that this matter had been stopped, but I was assassinated a few days ago before I realized that Liu Qing, the eunuch guarding the town of Xuanfu, had destroyed more than 30 households, so vicious, he was afraid that the old man would investigate it again, this Liu Qing, the old man must participate in his imprisonment, otherwise he will not be able to live with the hundreds of women and children who died in vain!" ”
Qin Kan felt a burst of emotion in his heart when he heard this, the old man was old, but he was not confused, he was very clear about the cause and effect of this matter.
With a long glance at Ma Wensheng, Qin Kan said solemnly: "Ma Shangshu is kind-hearted, has clear grievances, and is admired by the lower officials." ”
Ma Wensheng looked at him with a smile: "Yesterday, you and Dongchang accidentally injured the old man, and I didn't see you so humble to the old man, why are you so condescending today?" ”
"The lower official is to thank you on behalf of the innocent women and children who died in vain, and I also respect you for this humiliation."
Ma Wensheng nodded, and said with a smile: "Speaking of enduring humiliation, the old man felt that the foreman of the East Factory yesterday was as humiliated as the old man......"
"Huh?"
Ma Wensheng said quietly: "You were the one who kicked the old man the first time yesterday, right?" ”
Qin Kan...... Giving black feet to the old man, and planting dirt to the East Factory, you are shameless to go home, are you blind to the old man...... patted Qin Kan on the shoulder, Ma Wensheng issued the same emotion as Li Dongyang: "You should really enter the court as a civil official, but it's a pity that you are talented......"
