At this time, many people have begun to move around to find this champion.

However, obviously, the efficiency of these people is much lower, far inferior to the factory guards.

It's a pity that the person who wants to find the champion will definitely not have anything to do with the factory guard.

Ma Yu heard that someone next door asked about him, but he was also comfortable, he had his own way of coping.

But he leisurely returned to his study, meditating on what he was going to do next.

Bulk goods, from the departure to berth, to the sale of the payment, as well as the interest of the bank and the settlement of each merchant.

There are so many things that need to be finalized by yourself, and any mistake in any link is fatal.

"Hey...... I only hate that there are too few scholars in the feudal countries. Ma Yu sighed, and muttered to himself: "It would be good if there were more readers, and you can make some friends everywhere, even if you provide some information." ”

Ma Yu said, shaking his head with a look of pity.

Ma San said: "Young master, I heard that this Taiping Mansion is arresting scholars everywhere. ”

"How can this be called arrest?" Ma Yu smiled and said: "This is called letting the reader find something to do, and it is called loyalty and filial piety." ”

Ma Sandao: "The little one actually doesn't understand, I only know that inside and outside this Taiping Mansion, no one dares to wear a scarf and a Confucian shirt easily, for fear of being considered a scholar and being arrested for both loyalty and filial piety." ”

Ma Yu listened to it and laughed: "Interesting." Isn't that just like me, although I have fame, but I look horizontally and vertically, I don't look like a scholar? ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and patted his head reluctantly and said, "Yes, I have a new idea." ”

After that, he said excitedly: "Come, give me pen and ink, and repair the book." ”

Ma San said with some reluctance: "Young master, master, do you want to reply to a letter......

Ma Yu put away a little interest in vain, shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, if he knows that I am resigned, he will be angry, and he will have to come to the capital to beat me."

Ma San cried and said, "I'm afraid I'll have my leg broken by then, woo woo...... My leg is gone. ”

Ma Yu was silent, lowered his eyebrows and raised his pen, ignoring it.

……

Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Did Ma Yu find it?" Hu Guang almost every once in a while, he had to ask someone to ask.

And the answer of the Sheren every time is: "I have asked the Criminal Department to send someone to search, but it's just ...... In any case, he could not find it, and a reward was awarded. ”

Hu Guang frowned and said, "In this whole world, isn't there anyone who sees him?" ”

She Ren cried and laughed and said: "When I replied to Hu Gong's words, it was not that no one saw it, but after I awarded a reward, I said that there were too many people who saw it." In just a few days, reports came from all over the place, saying that there were more than 1,000 clues to find his whereabouts, and they were only discovered when the people of the Criminal Department verified them one by one...... Most...... It's all just chasing after the wind......"

Hu Guang heard this, and said angrily: "Why is it so easy for Jinyiwei to find someone? ”

"This ......" said Nashe, "Jinyiwei is different, people have special ...... What is it called intelligence analysis, they also collect clues, but there are special intelligence thousands of households, screening all the information, and there are eyes and ears everywhere, the news is much more reliable, otherwise, Hu Gong will give a note to the king of Wuhu County......"

Hu Guang hurriedly stopped: "Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Who is Ma Yu? At the beginning, this Ma Yu didn't know how many times he cursed Zhang Anshi, have you ever heard that the Han and the thief are not separate? Ma Yu is high, his temperament must be strong, he is a champion, and he must be arrogant. If you really let Jinyiwei investigate, this Jinyiwei finds out some of his deeds, who knows if he will be poisoned? Even if Zhang Anshi is generous, he can't help but have some crooked thoughts from those people under the brocade guards. ”

"Xia Guan understood. However, I heard that everyone is in danger now, and there is a Jinyi guard who catches the scholar in the front, and then there is a champion who has disappeared without a trace......"

Hu Guang sighed: "Hey...... Keep looking. ”

He only sighed, but he was more and more worried about the current situation.

The sea trade in Taiping Province finally began with the launching of sea ships one after another.

Soon after, Zhang Anshi issued an edict to protect all merchant ships in the four seas of the world.

This kind of protection is not only for the vassal states, but also for the maritime merchants of Dashi or Tianzhu.

At this time, the most satisfied was Zhu Qiongjing, the king of the Tang Dynasty who built a city in Malacca, and after he came to the capital, he immediately keenly felt that his good time had come.

There are many Han people in Malacca, but the defense here is narrow, and there are many natives, if it were not for the horns of the kings of Annam, Chenla and other places, they might have been driven into the sea by the natives all over the mountains.

As a result, his development progress was not fast, and now he has only built three cities, and Malacca, which connects the Tianzhu Sea with the Western Ocean, is an important sea channel.

This means that the sea ships of many feudal states may dock and relay in his domain, not only that, but a large number of big food maritime merchants and Tianzhu maritime merchants, once they can transit here, their own domains in the future will benefit the most.

The other vassal states have also prepared a large amount of goods, just waiting for the ships of the Taiping Province to come.

Time is a business opportunity, and when a ship goes to sea, almost a businessman takes advantage of this opportunity to immediately carry a large amount of goods and go to sea quickly.

This Songjiang port is full of ships for a while.

Dozens of shipyards, in order to build ships, are desperately trying to improve the process, especially the manufacturing process.

Originally, there was a large amount of technical reserves in the manufacture of ships that went to the West, but now under the lure of gold and silver, the level of this manufacturing management has become higher and higher.

The first batch of merchants' ships have already gone to sea.

Like a group of people eating crabs, now, up and down the Taiping Mansion, they seem to be waiting for news to come.

At the end of the eighteenth year of Yongle.

Chen Li lamented that there are fewer and fewer scholars now, and even if there are scholars, they refuse to wear scarves and shirts to go out, which is really difficult to identify.

Zhang Anshi had to comfort him, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright, there is always a time when all the scholars will be wiped out and sent to the land of the four seas so that they can fulfill their filial piety and loyalty.

As long as the imperial court still holds the imperial examination, there is no worry that the scholars will not enter Beijing, even if they hide their identities after entering Beijing, but once the list is released, I am not afraid that they will not go to see the list.

The people in high school naturally let them be officials, and those who fell into Sun Shan could be directly reformed and sent to the sea.

At this moment, an old man entered the capital.

The man was wearing an old shirt and a shabby scarf.

Fortunately, he is old, and even if he dresses like this, no one is interested in him.

Jin Yiwei likes the kind of young and strong scholars, not the old Confucian who is sent to the ship, maybe he will have a banquet when he arrives at the place.

This old Confucian looked sad, and under the care of an old servant and a young man, he first arrived at the Confucius Temple.

This young man was his youngest son, and his name was Ma Chao.

And this old Confucian student, surnamed Ma is famous.

Although he is called Ma Yangming, poetry and books heirloom, but the luck is not good, he has read books all his life, but he has not become famous, in fact, he is just an old boy.

After many generations of family business, I don't know if it is poor management or bad luck, these generations are no longer as prosperous as before.

But even so, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Ma family still produces talents, such as his eldest son Ma Yu, who became the champion in high school.

The news reached Shandong, and the political envoy of the Shandong political envoy and the academic envoy personally visited the Ma family, which was a fortunate thing that the entire Shandong political envoy had not seen for hundreds of years, and reversed the blank of the northerners without champions in one fell swoop.

At that time, Ma Yangming was very happy, and the ancestors accumulated virtue!

didn't be happy for long, but he learned that his son had resigned.

Another person from the Criminal Department went to Shandong to look for a visit and asked if Ma Yu had returned home.

Ma Yangming was shocked at the time, waiting for the news so anxiously, but Ma Yu disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Although I also repaired a letter and came back, this letter was also vague, only saying that I didn't want to be an official and wanted to do something of my own.

Ma Yangming, he ...... Unacceptable.

So he stayed at home for several months, anxiously looking forward to the family letter, and after several disappointments, Ma Yangming finally decided to take the whole family to Beijing to find his son.

Coming to this big capital, Ma Yangming looked sad, and after staying at the inn of Confucius Temple, he let his second son Ma Chao go around to find fellow villagers and inquire about the news.

When I heard that Mr. Ma had arrived in Beijing, my fellow villagers, who had been concerned about Ma Yu, in the same year, and even many of the princes in the temples, all came here.

Some people do it out of pure sympathy.

Some people also want to hear some news from Ma's father.

Although some people think that Ma Yu doesn't know his whereabouts, he is the champion of the princess, maybe people will find it in the future, and there is still a wonderful future, so it is better to burn a cold stove at this time.

Of course, it is not without pure concern.

All of a sudden, the small inn, the carriages and horses were like dragons, and even Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, came in a hurry, and talked to Ma's father for a while before leaving.

As for the other court officials, there are many Hanlin, Yushi, and even the directors of various ministries and Langzhong.

Many Jinshi from high school with Ma Yu also came to pay their respects.

Ma Yangming has mixed feelings, if his son is safe, in this life, he should be the same as them, and maybe even have a bigger future than them.

But now......

He cried several times, and after crying again and again, he couldn't sleep.

Immediately after that, some fellow villagers came to visit.

When I arrived in the capital and heard the local sound, I naturally felt very cordial.

"How come there is no news at all? Why is such a big person, so good, gone? ”

Ma Yangming's lips trembled, and he pouted, with a sad expression.

And Ma Chao, who was standing on the side, also said worriedly: "Dad, my brother won't have an accident." ”

As soon as he said this, Ma Yangming immediately burst into a rage, raised his staff and beat him, and scolded: "Brute, something happened to your brother, what good do you have?" You bastard, you only steal and play tricks on weekdays, and you haven't grown up in your studies, and the Ma family will lose in your hands without your brother. ”

Ma Chao then hid, and said: "I said it casually......"

The villagers all came to stop him, saying, "Ma Gong is angry, ...... angry."

"That's not the solution to the problem, just go home and fight again."

Ma Yangming was panting, his eyes were red, and he said sadly: "I'm bitter, I'm bitter, I've read all my life, but I'm just an old boy, I can't raise my head, and I finally have a good child, and now I ...... But it was gone. I'm the most well-behaved, the most dedicated, and the most decent, why is it gone...... Woowoo woo ......"

Whimpering, tears streaming down his face.

Ma Chao muttered sadly: "Originally, the family was not done, but this time when I came to Beijing, the expenses along the way were all entangled by selling seven or eight acres of land at home......"

At this time, someone finally said: "Ma Gong, I only ask you, there are some things that you have heard of." ”

Ma Yangming looked at the person with a solemn look, hurriedly collected his tears, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"You don't know that no one told you before?"

Ma Yangming shook his head, dazed.

"Hey, it seems that everyone is wise enough to protect their lives and refuse to tell the truth......"

Ma Yangming became more and more worried when he heard this, and said seriously: "You say, our villagers, if you have any news, don't hide it from me...... I...... I'll kowtow to you. ”

The fellow villager was shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Torture me, torture me, okay......"

This person's heart was crossed, and he stomped his feet and said: "These days, Jin Yiwei has been catching scholars everywhere and selling them to the sea, and many scholars have suffered unjustified disasters. It's hard to put into words the misery. In fact, many people wonder if it is Brother Ma Nian, who was captured by Jinyiwei and sent to Java. ”

Ma Yang shuddered and said in disbelief: "He is the champion of the prince, it shouldn't be like this." ”

"Jin Yiwei didn't dare to do anything all these years!"

Ma Yangming said again: "But he still repaired the book and returned to his hometown......"

"Don't you know, Jinyiwei is very cunning, and when he arrests someone, he teaches people to repair books and return to his hometown. And that Java, do you know it, there have been some secrets recently that Java deceived many scholars to go, and when they arrived at the place, they sent them to serve in the service, and taught them to repair books, and all the letters had to be examined, and only good things were allowed, and if they said anything bad, they would suffer. ”

Ma Yangming heard this, and his heart chuckled for a moment, and then he said with a shocked face: "In this way, nine times out of ten, my son was taken away by the damn Java country, or by the Jinyi Guard?" ”

"I can only say that eight or nine is not far from ten. It's just this matter, in the name of loyalty and filial piety, and the scholar dares to be angry and dare not speak out under this obscenity, hey......"

Ma Yangming's eyes widened, slapped the eucalyptus on the ground, and said angrily: "What dare you not say? My son is gone, do they think the old man will be afraid? If you have the ability, you will kill the old man, but it can't be done, kill the old man's whole family, and chop up my young son Ma Chao and feed it to the dogs, if the old man frowns about this, he will not be considered a saint. As long as my Yu'er can see the light of day again, the Ma family will die, and it will only be the size of a sesame seed! ”

Ma Chao: "......"

He's so heartbroken!

The fellow villagers discussed: "Yes, how many lifetimes of virtue have been accumulated to produce such a champion......"

"Ma Gong...... I'm afraid I'll have to ask Duke Hu or Duke Xia in the temple to see if they are willing to call the shots......"

"I don't think it's useful for Hu Gong and Xia Gong, after all, the people are gone, and there is no real evidence to be taken away by Jin Yiwei, how can Hu Gong and Xia Gong be willing to help, as long as Jin Yiwei denies it, what can they do?"

Ma Yangming patted angrily: "Other things, the old man doesn't care, the old man only needs his son, for the sake of Yu'er, the old man doesn't care about anything, he is amazing, then I will make trouble to the point of hearing from the sky." ”

The crowd said, "I'm afraid no one cares about this." ”

Ma Yangming sneered: "It's a shame that you are also from Shandong, but you don't know that we are Shandong...... But there is a way to deal with them. ”

The crowd was puzzled.

Ma Yangming didn't say much anymore, his eyes burst out with a firm gaze, as if he had made up his mind, like an old monk sitting still.

…………

Wuhu County Palace.

Outside the palace many people came and went, some giving orders, others coming to meet them.

In the midst of the bustling crowd.

Suddenly, three people came out.

The first person is Ma Yangming.

Ma Yangming walked at the forefront, and the next step behind was the trembling Ma Chao.

Ma Yangming went outside the palace, turned back to Ma Chao and said, "Chao'er, give the old man something out." ”

Ma Chao was so frightened that his teeth rattled, and said with a bitter face: "Dad, you have to think clearly, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your son." ”

Ma Yang trembled with fame, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still want your brother?" You brute, how much is your life worth? You...... You...... Can the Ma family still count on you? As long as your brother has a glimmer of life, we will all die without a corpse, and the corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces, and it will be worth it, hurry up! ”

"Daddy......" Ma Chao wailed and sobbed.

But in the end, he couldn't be stubborn, but he obediently opened his bag, and then pulled out a huge silk portrait.

Immediately, under Ma Yangming's fierce gaze, he was terrified to prop up the silk portrait with a pole.

The guards of the county king's mansion at the gate were feeling strange and wanted to come forward to interrogate.

But take a closer look at the flag, and suddenly the color changes.

But I saw that on the banner was a portrait, and the person on the portrait was ...... Not to mention, but the words on the top, everyone recognizes it, on the book: Imperial Taizu Emperor Gao Statue!

The guards were speechless in shock.

Then, there was a roar of Ma Yangming: "Emperor Taizu Gao is here, everyone comes to see, Emperor Taizu Gao, open your eyes, take a look at how the champion of the department is killed by people, and look at the world where there is no king, hey, return my son, return my son." ”

He exclaimed.

Suddenly, the people around him were shocked and hurriedly retreated.

Even the guards of the palace did not dare to come closer, and hesitated, but there were also people with spirits, who quickly turned around and ran into the palace of the county king like crazy.

The portrait of Emperor Taizu Gao was displayed with it, but the flagpole was trembling, but it was Ma Chao who raised the flag, and his body was like a sifting chaff.

Every howl from his father made him feel that he was one step closer to breaking his bones and scattering ashes.
