Chapter 716: Miserable and miserable
Just like that, the night passed, and on the 23rd of July, the weather became clear again, and the previous heat was swept away, and there was a faint coolness of autumn. That is, when the sun just came out, there were people outside the manor, and it was not the family of Zhao Ziying, but the catchers of the Yamen of Xuzhou Zhizhou, and more than 100 people came at once, all of them looked vicious, and they didn't care about what brocade guards, only said that the steward of this Zhuangzi colluded with the cult demons and wanted to be arrested and questioned. Although it is given in the name of capturing demons, this momentum is inevitably too big, and it is not to go to the countryside to collect grain, and it is not to arrest and exterminate any poles, it is actually more than 100 heavily armed young people, and it doesn't matter that there are dozens of brocade guards in Zhuangzi, they just swaggered in to arrest people. Looking at the provocative looks of those catchers with arrogant faces, everyone can figure it out with their toes that this is for the fans, but if they stop it, I'm afraid it is in line with the intentions of these people. Thinking about it this way, who still has the heart to stop it now, even the dozens of cronies brought by Ma Chonghao did not stop it. The so-called cronies also rely on silver and benefits to envelop them, this situation of qiē becoming empty, and knowing what kind of big worm Zhao Ziying is, even if they have to consider the way back, no one will want to bury Ma Chonghao, who is about to decline in a blink of an eye. As a result, the manor steward who was crying for help was arrested and taken away under their noses, but no one dared to move. The captured steward was not taken to the city, but was hanged from a tree at the gate of the Zhuangzi, and a catcher shouted: "This is the end of eating inside and out, and after the end of the meal, the catcher called the villager who did not possess the soul to come over, saying that it was burned after hanging for three days, and then walked away." Are these catchers from the imperial court or the Zhao family? Is this Xuzhou from the imperial court or from Zhao Jin? I'm afraid I don't need to ask anymore. "Sixth brother, now it seems that this case in Xuzhou will not be completed, and it is estimated that there will be trouble in Nanjing, so we will not follow. Please also be considerate, our brothers also have a small family, and they also have to get money to support their wives and children, and they can't give themselves away lightly. Now I can still find errands to do when I go back to the north, I'm sorry, if there is a chance in the future, let's repay the master's care. Seeing the corpse hanging outside the village gate, Ma Chonghao didn't want to stay anymore because of the cronies brought by Ma Chonghao from the north, but fortunately, the old feelings were still there, so he politely said hello to Ma Liu, and then dispersed by himself. Ma Liu was originally a calm character, but at this time, it was more like a dead heart, and he did not stop the departure of these "cronies", but said to the last four remaining guards: "If Zhao comes in to arrest people, let's give up this life, and we have to protect the master" Everyone agreed solemnly, but everyone also knew that it was nothing more than to give this life here, which was worthy of the favor of their own master. But they are on the guard of the enemy, but no one pays attention to them at all, but this Zhuangzi was originally frightened to the soul of the Zhuang Ding Zhuanghu, at this time also eyeing them, obviously hating them for bringing the disaster in, and also wanted to arrest their own group to show Zhao Jin's merits, if it weren't for their official robes and the knives and guns in their hands, I'm afraid they would have to do it. Although Na Langzhong came before in a hurry, his medical skills were not bad, and his judgment was about the same, Ma Chonghao fell asleep for a day and a night, and woke up when it was dark, and even the fever subsided. When Ma Chonghao woke up, he startled Ma Liuyi next to the bed, but he was immediately surprised. He hurriedly asked the master how his health was now, but Ma Chonghao was still the same as before, without a trace of reaction, just sat and lowered his head, as if the whole person was stupid. "Master, master" This frightened Ma Liu, and hurriedly shouted, the old generation has a saying, people are easy to lose their souls after being sick, and they have to shout back. Therefore, he did not dare to stop at all, and kept shouting so loudly that his voice was almost hoarse. With his unremitting efforts, Ma Chonghao finally reacted, he slowly turned his head, and glanced at Ma Liu with a dull look, without any expression. Seeing the old man's confused appearance, Ma Liu's tears couldn't hold back, and he was about to ask eagerly, but Ma Chonghao's expression became active, sluggish turned into sadness and despair, opened his mouth "ho ho" twice, and shouted out with a crying voice: "This Ming world, I'm afraid it's going to be over" The lord's sudden words were boundless, but Ma Liu was stunned there, looking at his master's dejected appearance, Ma Liu's tears couldn't stop flowing down, and he said while wiping: "Master, they are all gone, we are in the army, Nanjing, Wolf Mountain, Xuzhou and Fengyang are all scattered, even if we call back from the north, there are also a lot of wolf-hearted dogs left" After shouting that sentence, Ma Chonghao was distracted again, listening to Ma Liu's chatter in his ear, he just waved his hand: "The world is bustling for profit, they came here for profit, and now it is empty, what can you do if you don't disperse?" "Master, what should we do, this Xuzhou is the tiger's den in Longtan, don't you know, today the prefect also sent an official messenger, and he hanged the steward who took refuge in front of us, is this still the government's arrest?" Master, listen to me, this is not the place we should stay, let's go," Ma Liu said incoherently. Ma Chonghao, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard, this time with so much force, half of his face was red and swollen. This action suddenly made Ma Liu stunned, and thought that his master was really crazy, Ma Chonghao took a deep breath next, shook his head vigorously, and said in a solemn voice: "This Xuzhou can't stay, let's go." "Where are we going?" Ma Chonghao's sudden normality and agreement with his own plan made Ma Liu inexplicably surprised, but once he thought of where to go next, Ma Liu was also in a hurry. "Of course, it's back to Nanjing," Ma Chonghao replied firmly. "But we" Ma Liu hesitated, "can we still go back?" "Did we do something wrong? It's just that the news is bad, then Zhao Jin is not a thief, so we won't arrest it, is there anything wrong with this? Ma Chonghao said coldly. When did this government become a place to reason? Ma Liu's heart was sour, but he shook his head and couldn't say anything to refute. Then, Ma Chonghao sneered and said: "I'm still the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei, I'm just leading my subordinates out and going back once, what's wrong?" But what official documents are there, but what is the will that I have to take Zhao in? No, now that I'm going back, no one can find out what is wrong, what Guogong Mansion, what deputy chief soldier, what garrison eunuch, what do they send people out to do with me, can they still hold me accountable? Isn't it wrong to investigate everyone to be disgraced and use troops and horses in vain? This official can have the duty of detective, go back, let's go back now. These words seemed to be strong words, and Ma Liu was a little stunned when he heard it, but Ma Liu, who had been on an errand in Jinyi for a long time, immediately understood, with tears on his face, but a smile couldn't help but appear. Everyone worked together to come to Xuzhou to arrest people, what did Zhao Jin rebel against, no matter how he colluded and contacted in private, no matter what he said to the outside world, these are just private gifts and acceptances by everyone, and there is no official document to prove it, saying that this is just a private action of everyone, since it does not involve official business, then even if it is useless, there is no culpability, and even on the contrary, Jinyiwei can also hold the handle of several other families, and the prevarication in the officialdom is very appropriate at this time. Besides, having gathered so many elite soldiers and strong generals, Zhao Jin is not a thief, who is it? Jin Yiwei is by no means a false accusation, but he just underestimated Zhao Yiyi, what can be wrong with digging deeper? "Master, do we want to leave tomorrow morning, you are still weak, and you have to guard against Zhao Jin's thief." As soon as he figured out these joints, Ma Liu felt that his body had renewed strength, and he hurriedly spoke. "What are you trying to kill, you really want to harm me, we all died last night, how can we stay until today, prepare food for me, let's leave after eating, so as not to be an eyesore here." Ma Chonghao had already propped up the bed board and went to the ground, and said impatiently. Speaking of this, Ma Chonghao smiled self-deprecatingly, stood up and said, "Don't worry, he won't be fine." Now that we are water dogs, Zhao Jinxiong is only a big man, how can there be us in his eyes. "That's what the lord said." Although he didn't completely agree with Ma Chonghao's opinion, now that the master had already spoken, Ma Liu felt that he had only to obey. "I really can't see it, this person is still an eloquent person" Suddenly, Ma Chonghao looked out of the door and said something to himself. Although there is no wine and meat in this village, the soup cake or something is purchased quickly, and after giving the silver, it is quite courteous, and it didn't take long for several people's meals to be delivered, and everyone devoured the food. Ma Liu didn't eat much, he still had something on his mind, and asked there: "Master, we have a big deficit this time, even if the silver deposit in Qingjiangpu is counted as a light riding and light operation, the tens of thousands of taels of silver will definitely not be carried with you, so it is stored in Qingjiangpu, and all parties are left to keep it together, according to what was said in advance, there are also about 20,000 taels belonging to Ma Chonghao's side, however, 20,000 taels is a large amount, but if you use 20,000 taels to pay for the expenses of this futility, I'm afraid it is still not enough." Hearing this, Ma Chonghao just sneered, shook his head and said, "Do you think there is still ours?" After the master said this, Ma Liu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and his face suddenly turned red. Those bastards who left first must have swallowed our silver first, no wonder they all went in such a hurry, it turned out that they were all going to save and grab money, "Thank you, everyone, it's the end of the month, vote for the Ming Martial Arts."
