Chapter Eighty-Seven: Turning the Face
The eldest lady looked at Ma Cheng as if she didn't know her. In the past, Ma Gang repeatedly did things that made the mother and son feel cold, but Ma Cheng remembered his identity as a son of man and didn't care. I went to Qingcheng once this time, why did I come back so irritable?
Could it be that the failure of the Zhongzhou test made him lose face and lose his temper?
But no, although he was full of confidence before he went, he didn't care much about this false name.
Ma Cheng looked at his panicked mother and wanted to be appeased, but his heart was uncomfortable, he frowned, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Mother, you are from a big family, no weaker than the Ma clan, you have been careful to welcome you all these years, have you ever been half respected by him? You are wrong, we are all wrong. My father was blinded by our kindness, thinking that he was the only one on this great fertile plain, and he did not treat us as human beings, nor did he treat other tribes as human beings, which led to the Hannan Rebellion. We can't let him continue to be wrong! ”
The eldest lady's arm trembled uncontrollably: "You want to kill him?" ”
Ma Cheng shook his head: "My father is old and unwell, so he should take a break." ”
This is to replace him as the new master of this great fertile plain!
But Ma Gang is only about forty, and it is the time when he is in the prime of life. Ma Cheng's excuse is too insincere.
"He's your father!" The eldest lady couldn't bear it. I don't know if it's a reluctant husband, or I can't bear to bear the charge of disobedience on my son's back.
Ma Cheng looked into the eyes of the eldest lady: "Mother, we are for the Great Fertile Plains and for the Ma clan." ”
The resoluteness in his expression is familiar to the eldest lady, just like when he was a child, he said, "I must be able to tame that fierce horse", "I must draw that hard bow", "I will definitely be able to wipe out such and such a small tribe"......
That's the determination to win.
The eldest lady was dizzy. It wasn't until Ma Cheng left that he slowly came to his senses.
Her son, she gave birth to and raised with her own hands, she couldn't know better! She must have known what had happened to these two fathers and sons, otherwise, he wouldn't have rebelled against his father!
She is not a short-tempered person, judging from her attitude of enduring Ma Gang for more than 20 years, to causing trouble today, and still just wanting Ma Gang to lower her head a little and be in harmony, she is almost more like a woman under the rule of the southern Wang family, putting her husband in a position that needs to be looked up to. With her background, there is really no need to be so humble.
She transmitted her attitude to her son, even if Ma Gang was always nitpicking about this eldest son and scolding him at every turn, Ma Cheng only treated him as confused and didn't take him seriously. In her heart, sooner or later, the position of patriarch belongs to her son, and no one can take it away. Those sluts and their children are slaves, only the three of them are a family, what does the family care?
But today, Ma Cheng suddenly shattered her illusions.
What's going on?
A blood-stained cloth bag was thrown outside the palace gate, and was found by the guards after dawn, and it is unknown who discarded it. Out of duty, they opened the cloth bag and saw a familiar face.
As Ma Gang's favorite woman, she rode a horse or a carriage past this palace gate countless times. The past was unbeatable, but now it is miserable.
"Five, five ladies ......" The first guard to see the face under the mottled bloodstains screamed, and then more people showed a frightened look in their eyes, they don't know much about the wind and clouds on the Great Fertile Plain, but guarding this door, after all, they can know more things than ordinary people, they vaguely feel that this is a scoop of cold water thrown into the hot oil pot!
No one dared to go in and spread the news, and they wanted to live two more days.
But if you don't spread the word, you don't dare, someone has to do it.
Eventually, one of the most cowardly creeps was forced in by the captain of the guard, who promised to reward his parents with five fat sheep if he could not.
The little soldier trembled and walked into the palace gate and passed the news to the inner gate guard, according to the rules, he could not go, and the patriarch might call him for questioning. The news came in layer by layer, after the mouths of three or four people, everyone who heard the news was eager to eat a bad stomach before going out and didn't come to duty.
Ma Gang is the tyrant of the Great Fertile Plains, it would be better if he didn't have a seizure, and he would be drunk and dreamed of death, but I don't know when or what can cause him to be angry, someone will definitely suffer!
The five ladies have been favored for many years, and suddenly suffered a catastrophe, can Ma Gang deal with it calmly?
What's more, this is not as simple as a human life, this is Ma Gang's face!
On this great fertile plain, no one has dared to disobey Ma Steel for many years. Now there is a rebellion in the south of Han, and then someone openly kills his pet and throws his body out of the door, this is a provocation!
Ma Gang and several confidants were deliberating, and several strategists had some disagreements on how to deal with the problems at hand. Some people bluntly said that they would gather a large team of people and horses and strangle the rebels with all their might, while others euphemistically proposed that they might be able to make a false accusation and order the eldest lady to mediate and quell the rebellion at the lowest cost.
Ma Gang was almost moved, Dawo was originally his, and all the people and livestock were his. Fighting a war will kill people, this is not tens of hundreds, or even thousands, this is tens of thousands, such a big loss, as the patriarch, he also has to weigh it.
At this time, Fang Ye, who had already rushed back, pushed the door in, and when he saw Ma Gang, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Fifth lady, she, go to ......"
Fang Ye didn't want to come, but if he didn't come, no one could come, he was the closest person to Ma Gang, and all the news had to be sent to him, this was the custom. At this time, Fang Ye regretted a little, should he pull a few people up to share this "honor" with him.
Ma Gang was stunned, a little incredulous. But soon he calmed down, he has been a patriarch for many years, and he is just a dead man, and he has seen many things! His face quickly became gloomy, gloomy and terrifying, and his deep voice clearly reached everyone's ears in Fang Ye's cry. "What's going on, make it clear."
Fang Ye wiped a few handfuls of tears indiscriminately, and choked up: "This morning, someone put the body of the lady in a cloth bag and placed it outside the palace gate, and the first guard to be found was outside the palace. ”
Ma Gang: "No need, bring in Madame's bones." ”
"Yes." Fang Ye ran away with a roll.
Ma Gang didn't have an attack at the moment, and there would be a bigger storm waiting after that, Fang Ye was afraid that he would run slowly. While running, I thought, the eldest lady didn't dare to do this, she had to do it early, who did it?
Several of the advisors in the hall stood trembling, especially the one who had just proposed to unite with the eldest lady, whose eyes were black and almost unsteady on his feet, and he thought that his head would soon be lost.
