Chapter 217: To Whom Is the Letter To?
"If an ordinary person commits a crime and is not as good as his family, he can be born as a family member of an official of the imperial court......" Long Tingxiao said this, and he didn't say any more, just looked at a few aunts, who were not stupid, and his heart was even more panicked.
"But seeing that a few aunts are in their prime, this envoy doesn't want to be so ruthless, as long as you help this envoy find evidence of Ma Zhixian's crime, of course, you can provide clues, this envoy can not blame the past, and will also give you a sum of money for the rest of your life." As the saying goes, it is easy to block ghosts, and it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night. Long Tingxiao didn't believe that Ma Yuhu and the pillow people didn't know anything about his actions.
Long Tingxiao watched the changes in the expressions of several aunts and knew that he had made the right move. His words undoubtedly reassured several aunts, and after a few people looked at each other, although they hesitated, they still made a decision. However, there is one person who has not hesitated from beginning to end, and even has a little joy.
"Is the envoy telling the truth?" Li Yuhu ignored his embarrassment and stood up to ask Long Tingxiao for confirmation.
"Of course, this envoy is not a lie! What does the fifth aunt know? Long Tingxiao said.
"The concubine knows ......"
"Slut, you can think clearly, those things may not be able to condemn the master, don't forget that there are people in the master's capital!" Ma Yuhu couldn't imagine that the first person to betray him was Li Yuhu, just now he saw her so embarrassed and a little pity, and now he can't wait to break her body into thousands of pieces, it seems that Shi Yuniang and several aunts are true. Judging from the current situation, it is indeed very unfavorable for him, and he can only use the last card. A dead horse is a live horse doctor.
Ma Yuhu's strictness that he had never had made Li Yuhu tremble in his heart, and he was speechless for a while.
"Is the person in the capital that Ma Zhixian said General Zhao Ziheng or the housekeeper in his house?" Long Tingxiao smiled coldly.
"What's the difference? Which housekeeper often represents the meaning of the master? Ma Yuhu, who was out of the way, was no longer afraid, but showed a bit of official authority.
"Ma Zhixian's theory is really peculiar, and it is not surprising that the real objects in the government are handed over to the master to deal with." Long Tingxiao's smile became colder and colder.
"That's the good use of the subordinates." Ma Yuhu was scared in his heart at this time, but he didn't show it on his face.
Long Tingxiao had to admit that Ma Yuhu at this time was like a local parent official.
"Knowing people and making good use of them? I'm afraid that no matter who cares whether he can really benefit the people, as long as you suppress them and don't let them disturb your enjoyment, you will hand over the affairs of the yamen to him, right? Long Tingxiao said.
"Xiaguan didn't." Ma Yuhu flatly denied it.
"Let's not mention this for the time being, let's talk about the people in your capital first. This envoy believes that you must be very curious to know who is more trusted by the emperor between this envoy and General Zhao Ziheng, and today this envoy will let you understand. Long Tingxiao looked at Ma Yuhu and said.
This is something Ma Yuhu has always wanted to know, but now he is afraid to know the result for some reason.
"Why don't you tell this envoy that you don't want to know?" Long Tingxiao saw Ma Yuhu's worries and said bluntly.
"I don't want to know if I want to know if I will tell the lower official if I am with the envoy." Ma Yuhu said.
"This envoy said that if you understand, he will naturally tell you." Long Tingxiao turned directly to Zhao Ziheng and said, "Ziheng, who do you say is more trusted by the emperor in the capital between you and this envoy?"
People here are basically aware of who they are. Ma Yuhu heard Zhao Ziheng's name. I knew that I was really in a catastrophe this time, and if I didn't hold on, I was afraid that I would have sat down on the ground.
"It doesn't matter who has the emperor's trust in the capital, what matters is who is the envoy of this flood. As Ma Zhixian said, the meaning of the envoy is the emperor's meaning. Since Long Tingxiao didn't want to reveal his identity, Zhao Ziheng naturally didn't dare to expose him. cleverly answered Long Tingxiao.
"You. You. Are you really Zhao, General Zhao Ziheng, general? The reason why Ma Yuhu doubted Zhao Ziheng's identity was because Zhao Ziheng answered very cleverly just now. But the tone revealed the deference to Long Tingxiao, except for the current Son of Heaven in Longcheng, who could make Zhao Ziheng such a state of affairs, of course, Ma Yuhu would never have thought that Long Tingxiao was the Son of Heaven in Longcheng today.
"Are you questioning the identity of General Ben?" Zhao Ziheng's tone changed abruptly.
"Down, no, don't dare!" Ma Yuhu was very sure that the person who was talking to him in front of him was the most trusted general Zhao Ziheng by the emperor's side, who he had been proud of in front of others.
"It's good if you don't dare, General Ben knows Lin Bo's temperament very well, he is a simple person. Lin Bo's father was still there when he arrived at Zhao Mansion, and General Ben can be said to have grown up under Lin Bo's watch. With Ma Zhixian's age, he can be Lin Bo's son, Lin Bo has been in the capital for so many years and has never left Zhao Mansion, this general is very curious about how Ma Zhi County and Lin Bo met? Give Ma Zhi County a letter like that? ”
"This, this, this!" A cold sweat began to break out on Ma Yuhu's forehead, and he didn't know how to explain the source of the letter.
"Why doesn't Ma Zhixian know the origin of that letter? Is it also that the letter Lin Bo was not written to Ma Zhixian at all? Zhao Ziheng looked at Ma Yuhu and expressed the doubts in his heart.
"When Xiaguan was young, he met the poor Uncle Lin, saw that he was pitiful and gave him food, and begged his father to give him some silver taels, and that letter was indeed written by Uncle Lin to Xiaguan." Ma Yuhu said with a little emptiness.
"I didn't expect Ma Zhixian to be a soft-hearted person when he was a child, but now he is a county magistrate who doesn't know the suffering of the people!" Zhao Ziheng sneered: "I heard that the letter Ma Zhi County has been viewed, I wonder if General Ben has the honor to take a look at the letter written by Lin Bo to Ma Zhi County?" Seeing Ma Yuhu's dodging eyes, Zhao Ziheng confirmed his guess.
"When the flood came, the lower officials didn't know if they brought the letter out, and when the lower officials found it, they must show the letter to General Zhao." How could that letter be written to himself, how could Ma Yuhu really show that letter to the people here.
"Oh, such an important letter, Ma Zhixian is so sloppy, but it is unbelievable that Ma Zhixian has handled the evidence of what he has committed so well. But it doesn't matter, General Ben can write a letter to Lin Bo and ask him if his acquaintance with Ma Zhixian is really as Ma Zhixian said. Now that the flooding in Mincheng has been eliminated, the selected good horses will be whipped up quickly, and the Japanese general can also receive a reply from Lin Bo. In the past five days, we may not have collected evidence of Ma Zhixian's crime, right? Zhao Ziheng also knew how Ma Yuhu really didn't know where the letter was, but he still said indifferently.
"General Zhao doesn't have to be so troublesome, the concubine knows the origin of that letter." (To be continued.) )
