I didn't know that someone had secretly pointed the finger at Anhui Province under his command, after Ma De went ashore from Dagukou, he first went to Beijing to report to Kangxi and the officials, took what he should take and hurried south.

Although the mount was very advanced, because he had been delayed in Ningguta for too long and had another trip to Liaodong, the remaining time was not much away from the arrival deadline set by Kangxi, so he had to hurry.

However, after a period of galloping, he found that he had almost run out of time, so he slowed down again. At this time, he and his subordinates had already arrived in Yuanyang County, Henan.

……

"My lord, where are we staying? Do you want a local official to greet you? As soon as he entered the county seat, Xing Ming, Ma De's newly recruited master, asked him. This Xing name is the criminal master under Yin Yuheng of the original Shuntian Mansion, Yuheng has been mixing well these days, and he has also been stained with a lot of light. Ma De couldn't find his master because he was released, so he asked Yuheng to borrow someone. Yu Heng owed Ma De and his group a favor, so it was difficult to refuse, and Ma De was the governor of the outgoing place, and he would definitely have a good future in the future, so Yu Heng also intended to stammer, so without saying a word, he agreed. In the end, Xing Ming was lucky and began to follow Ma De.

"Let's stay in a post house! It's a lot of trouble in officialdom, so don't want it......," Ma De replied.

"Master, it's still early, do you want to go shopping first?" Hailiu was also brought by Ma De because he knew more about the affairs of the market. This kid hasn't been out of Beijing for decades, and when he arrives there, he will inevitably have some itchy soles of his feet.

"What, your butt doesn't hurt anymore?" Hearing Hai Liu say this, Ma De said jokingly. Hai Liu and Xing Ming were tormented by this rush because they hadn't ridden a horse much, and Hai Liu kept talking about it along the way, saying that his butt had been turned into eight pieces, which became the laughing stock of everyone.

"Alas, it's okay if you don't say it, master, as soon as I say that my ass can't hold it, let's hurry up and go to the post house! ......" Hailiu shouted. After saying that, he beat his horse and moved forward, and opened the way first. Of course, Luo Xin's family education is strict, and he doesn't rush to gallop on the streets.

……

A group of more than a dozen people inquired and came to the post house, and a post man who looked a little old had already come out. Just now, Hai Liu, who arrived first, told him that an official from the capital was going to live here with his entourage. This post is not a post in a big post house like Tongzhou, although the rank is the same as the nine grades, it can be seen that the knowledge is far inferior. As soon as I heard that Ma De and his gang were from Beijing, I thought in my heart that no matter how big or small the officials were, they had to wait carefully. Therefore, although Ma De was wearing civilian clothes, he still stepped forward and saluted as soon as they met: "Master, the little one has a greeting to you." It was a coincidence that the master came, and it was originally said that a big official had passed from here today, and he was a big family. Therefore, the county magistrate ordered the little one to clean the inside and outside of this post house. But just now I heard that the senior official can't come today. As a result, my inn was all empty. You'll live in a room when you're old. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble!" Ma De smiled and nodded slightly, and walked into the upper room. After running forward, Yicheng delivered tea and water, and put on the banquet. As for Hai Liu and Xing Ming, because they were too tired and bumpy to ride a horse, they couldn't stand it for a long time and went back to their rooms to rest. Therefore, Mader had to eat with the leader of the guards, Narisong. As for the other guards, there were naturally also post guards who delivered meals.

"Master, could the official they said about today just talking about you......" Na Risong asked while drinking and eating.

"How is that possible? We're galloping all the way, how can anyone know our itinerary? Besides, I don't have any related people in the Guannai, and no one will notify the post house for me to prepare for reception! ......" Mader shook his head.

"So where are we going next......

"Zhengzhou! Chen Huang's three people have been back to Henan for a while, and they haven't seen any letters. Zhengzhou is where they are staying now, just stop by to have a look, maybe, we can also meet the world-famous Qing official Yu Jackie Chan! ......" said Mader laughed.

"Yu Jackie Chan? Master, I don't like that Yu Jackie Chan. That day took a sip of wine and said.

"Why? Besides, you haven't seen anyone else......" Ma De asked with a smile.

"I think both clean officials and corrupt officials hate it!" Narimatsu replied.

"Oh? What is the reason? ……”

"Because corrupt officials and clean officials don't have the ability of the five masters, they can not only loot their subordinates, but also help everyone live well...... The minions feel that you and those four masters are really good officials! Narimatsu said.

"Hahaha...... Your two hostesses are not officials! You're thinking too simply! Mader laughed, and was about to continue, when he heard a loud shouting outside the door, mixed with some low whimpering......

"Master, I'll go out and have a look......" That Risong saw that he was disturbed by the quiet, and he didn't wait for Ma De to speak, and immediately walked out. After a while, the postman came after him, hunched over.

"Master, I'm really sorry, just now a group of errand officers escorted the prisoners over, disturbing your old driver, it'll ......be fine for a while."

"Prisoners? What prisoners? ”

"Who knows, say what the family of the prisoner ......"

"Got it, you go down first......" Hearing that it was the prisoner who was escorted, Ma De didn't want to meddle with things, so he waved his hand to let the post man retreat.

……

Night!

Mader was woken up by a burst of whimpering!

"What nonsense!" Listening to the bangs outside ringing three times, Ma De felt a sense of sullenness. In the middle of the night, he has to travel tomorrow, why can't he get a good night's sleep?

Touching his head, Mader put the quilt on his head and went back to sleep!

……

After a while, the whimpering was gone.

Mader took off the quilt and lay on the bed looking at the roof with bright eyes...... People are so weird, they sleep well, and once they are woken up, it is generally difficult to fall asleep again.

……

Whimpering again!

"!"

As soon as the words came out, Ma De was stunned! ...... "? Mader? …… Mader!! Oh my God, it's been half a lifetime, how did you find this name so uncomfortable? With a sad face and a hint of displeasure with his parents, Mader wrapped up his clothes and walked out.

……

Outside the "Master's ......", Hai Liu also happened to come out of the east wing.

"Let's see why it's so noisy...... "It's still quite cold in May, and it's night, since some of his subordinates have come out, Ma De assigned Hailiu to check the situation, and he hid back in the house.

"Hmmm! ......" Hai Liu agreed, and walked to the firewood room in the back! …… That's where the whimpering sound came from.

……

"Master, something is wrong!" Hailiu's speed is not fast. It was a long time before he came back and saw that Ma De had split his head like this.

"What's going on?" Mader asked.

"Master, those gang escorting prisoners are selling people!" Hailiu whispered.

"Selling?"

"That's right! Master, there are many female dependents in that group of prisoners, and it is these women who are sold by those messengers......" Hailiu said.

"You're not mistaken?"

"Of course you can't be mistaken! Master, I think the trafficker is an old bustard, and he's bargaining with the leader......" Hailiu replied.

"Wake up Narisong and our people......" Ma De suddenly got up!

……

"Alas, Liu Tou'er, we are old friends. This is at most ten taels, you see, it's only a little bigger, and when I can make money to feed myself, I don't know how much I have to fill in......"

Na Risong and others took action, pretending to be out in the middle of the night, and easily solved the problem of sentry. Then, he and Ma De and others slowly sneaked to the backyard of this post house, and under the dim light of the dead wind lamp, they happened to see a half-aged with at least an inch of foundation on her face pulling a little girl who was only five or six years old to talk about the price with a solution. As soon as the little girl cried, she was slapped by the solution, and she could only cover the place where she was beaten and whimper! And behind this solution and the half-old, there are some women who are bowing their heads and whimpering. And as soon as these women are too loud, they will be immediately beaten by those chauffeurs and the men brought by the half-aged.

"Sister Chen, don't you come! …… Was it last year? As soon as you stretched out your hand, thirty taels of silver bought Liu Qingyu away, and as a result, now that girl will cost thirty taels just to accompany the guests to eat a meal! …… How? You think I don't know about this? Do you want to get cheap with me again? After inciting the little girl, the leader of the solution sneered again.

"That's different! …… Besides, I spent a thousand taels just by asking the master to teach the Qingyu girl how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! These, Liu Tou'er, you have to do the math for me......"

"Come less, this thirty taels, less than a penny, Lao Tzu will not sell! ......" The leader of the poor stretched out his hand and pulled the little girl over, because the force was too great, the little girl couldn't help but cry out in pain, and as a result, he slapped her again.

"Okay, okay, thirty taels is thirty taels, but, Liu Tou'er, that top card has to be cheaper! ......" "Sister Chen" pointed to a woman in her twenties, dressed in gray coarse cloth, looking haggard but naturally beautiful, standing by the firewood room, and said.

"Hehe, good for you Sister Chen, your eyes are really poisonous! I actually took a fancy to our governor's wife all of a sudden! It's easy to say...... Fifteen thousand taels! ”

……

"Madame Governor? …… It's really fresh, so I wonder if I can make a price in the next place? Hearing this, Mader finally walked out with someone.
