"My lord, why aren't you in a hurry to know where the three prefects have gone? It's been a few days......" Xing Ming paced back and forth in Made's study, anxious and overwhelmed.

"What's the use of being in a hurry? Those people disappeared suddenly, and no one reported the crime, and I heard that the people in their family were also missing. Presumably, we don't want to continue to mix in Anhui, so why should we be in a hurry to follow behind? Madder reclined in his chair and said absently. has just taken over, and there are still a lot of things to do in Anqing, so he, Shi Shilun, and Lu Longqi are not in a hurry to go down to the place.

"Alas, Lord Futai, what are you ...... This is your official reputation! Xing Ming said urgently.

"My official voice?" Mader asked with a crooked smile.

"My lord, everyone knows that these three people were knocked out of power by you, and now they are suddenly gone, do you know what others will think? Your reputation is going to ruin ......," Xing Ming replied.

"If I've already knocked them out of power, why should I hurt them? Those officials are not brainless, and they can't think of this? Besides, when I first came to Anhui, I can rely on my identity to dismiss these three guys, and it is impossible for any force to cut them down and eradicate them, right? Master Xing, you are Master Xingming, you can't even think of this, right? If you really can't think of it, I'll have to change people! Mader joked.

"My lord, the officials are fine. I'm afraid that this 'good reputation' of yours will reach the ears of the people......" Xing Ming said angrily: "You plan to do a big job in Anhui, if the people think you are not a good person, what else can you do?" ”

"I'm afraid the reputation of those three people is not good, right? I killed three corrupt officials, and the people will still think I'm a bad person? Mader asked rhetorically.

"My lord! If there were only ordinary people, they might think as you said, but there are many people who have a heart! You don't think those officials are really that honest and obedient, do you? Xing Ming asked with a wry smile.

"You say someone will spread rumors?" Mader asked.

"So what else do you think will happen? In this world, all mouths are golden. Lu Longqi is such an honest official, he has been the county magistrate for more than ten years, and he is so mixed that he is called a family with four walls, which can be described as a poor jingle. However, being falsely accused by a few villains, is it not a dismissal and a seizure? …… If it weren't for the fact that those officials only copied out two taels of silver and a few pairs of broken bedding at his house, and his conscience found out, he didn't dare to copy it anymore, and reported the matter to his boss, would he still be able to wait until today to come to Anhui as a political envoy? …… What's more, you have only been here for a few days, and the people don't know what kind of person you are, and when the time comes, the affairs between you and the three prefects will only need one sentence to adjust their personalities. Xing Ming said.

"Just one sentence? What words? Mader asked again.

"The villain doesn't dare to say it!" Xing Ming muttered.

"If you say it, you can say it, where is all this nonsense? Say, what is the sentence? Ma De was dumbfounded.

"Dog eats dog!" Xing Ming whispered.

"......" Ma De was speechless!

*************

was depressed by Xing Ming, so Ma De took Hai Liu and Na Ri Song out to "hang out and relax". In fact, Xu Yue, Chang Hongzu and Li Wenmin are not missing, but fleeing! Of course, the culprit who made these three people panic like lost dogs was still him, the governor.

On that day, Wang Wenjing, the magistrate of Xuancheng County, probed the tone from Li Wenmin's mouth, and knew that behind these three guys there was a powerful person in Beijing who had great power in his hands.

However, before he could deduce who the people behind Li Wenmin's three people were, the three prefects headed by Xu Yue secretly came up. And, after holding back left and right, take everything out of the disk. …… It turns out that everything is so coincidental!

Originally, Ling Pu asked Xu Yue and the three of them not to plan to do any joint deeds, but Chang Hongzu was a good guy when he got cheap, and he thought that he had climbed the prince, so he became arrogant. At that time, he deliberately showed his dissatisfaction with Shi Shilun's order to "stop the fire consumption", and as a result, Chang Hongzu thought that he had an opportunity, so he wanted to take the opportunity to overturn the order of the feudal yamen. And then things went on. …… The three of them didn't expect that he would dismiss the three of them from their official positions without any evidence, and he used candy and knives for the rest of the officials, both seducing and intimidating, so that some officials over there were obedient and obedient for a while. In particular, his promise to "never prosecute" the relevant persons who signed the joint petition made Ling Pu think that the name that could be used to control the more than 70 officials lost most of its effectiveness.

In this way, there is trouble. These three prefects were the intermediaries that Ling Pu intended to use to control the more than seventy officials. However, now that the more than 70 officials had made a promise, they no longer had to accept the constraints of the certificate for fear of being settled by the Autumn Queen, and as a result, the three prefects lost their original role. However, he also dismissed these three people from their official positions, and these three people will definitely become a commoner.

Of course, it is impossible for Prince Yinren to work hard for three civilians, because in that case, it will be tantamount to coming out of his own pocket. At the same time, in order to keep it secret and ensure that no one else knows that the prince is related to this joint complaint, so as not to cause Kangxi's dissatisfaction and the impeachment of the courtiers, those who know about this matter should naturally ...... "silence"! Think about it, how easy it would be for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to destroy the mouths of the three flat-headed ordinary people?

Of the three prefects, Xu Yue, the prefect of Taiping, is still a relatively intelligent person. Feeling that danger was coming, he immediately found two people to analyze the matter, and found the only person who could help them, and this person was naturally he Made.

In Xu Yue's opinion, this matter involves the crown prince, which is a figure that he can't officially provoke now. Therefore, after learning the truth of the matter, there is nothing else to do except protect the three witnesses in case of the prince's possible means.

And that's exactly what happened. Therefore, he secretly sent Na Risong to secretly send the three out of Anqing, and at the same time sent Pegasus to deliver the letters of the three to their respective homes. Before everyone reacts, let these three "disappear" with their families. And the sudden disappearance of the three people did make Ling Pu, who was still in Anqing, feel uneasy, for fear of being betrayed, and it didn't take long for this guy to leave under the surveillance of his subordinates.

Now, before the three missing prefects were found, the prince and his gang were upset enough. Moreover, since he didn't know if he had a handle in his hand, the prince and his gang also didn't dare to make any rash moves to trouble him. And even if they found these three people, the prince and his gang would not dare to touch him casually, because he had no favorable evidence in his hand except for three confessions that could not stand refuting. There should also be shrewd people under the crown prince, and presumably they will not come to him as a governor for these things that have no great effect.

"Alas! Why is my life so miserable! Mader sighed.

"Master, are you still suffering? So what are we? Hailiu pointed to Narisong and asked him.

"What? With a master like me, do you also have a hard life? Ma De grinned toothily at Hai Liu, and was so frightened that Hai Liu accompanied him again and again.

……

"Crackling ......"

The three of them walked for a while when they suddenly heard a burst of firecrackers. Out of curiosity, I leaned in. I saw firecrackers being set off in front of a mansion crowded with onlookers. This mansion looks very magnificent from the outside, the vermilion copper nail gate, two large stone lions in front of the door, the courtyard wall is more than seven feet high, extending from the courtyard gate to both sides, almost occupying half of the street, and the top is all painted with white lime, and the bottom is all bluestone wall foundation, which looks very magnificent.

In front of the door, a sedan chair with a large number of richly dressed people kept coming, and behind these people were some servants, either carrying one or several large boxes, or, carrying other kinds of gifts. When he entered the door, he handed it over to the welcome hand, and he walked in. And those gifts that were obviously very precious and valuable, the welcome in the coarse cloth robe didn't even look at them.

"What kind of person is this, and what are you doing?" Hailiu grabbed a passer-by who was watching the excitement and asked.

"You're from out of town? …… Why don't you even know about Master Wang's family? This is our richest man in Anhui! Today is his old man's birthday, and he will send red envelopes later! The passerby replied.

"Sending red envelopes? How much money? Hailiu asked.

"Hey, you, when the king is called Huazi? The year before last, Mr. Wang married his daughter-in-law, and the red envelope he sent was a tael of silver for the eight classics! ......," said the passer-by with a thumbs up.

……

"The richest man in Anhui? Good! Since it is the richest man in Anhui who is celebrating his birthday, we have passed by, and we can't help but express it. Let's go, let's go in and see what we know! Ma De clapped his hands and smiled.

“…… Great! Master, I'll make a way for you! As soon as Hai Liu heard Ma De's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and rushed to the front in two steps.

……

"I'm sorry, please forgive the villain's clumsiness, this guest is ......" The three of Ma De quickly crowded in front of the door, but they were blocked by the greeter.

"Oh, the little surname is Ma, I heard that Master Wang has a birthday, and I came to congratulate you!" Mader smiled.

"The villain thanked my master for a long time. It's just that I don't know if you have a sticker? Yingbin asked again.

"Please? Oh, wait a minute! …… Hailiu, what about our post? Ma De asked towards Hailiu.

"Yes, master, here you are!" Hailiu was not ambiguous, and immediately took out a piece of Ma De's name sticker, and proudly handed it to the greeter.

"I'm sorry. This guest, the invitation sent out by our lord is not this size, nor is it this color! Of course, the name sticker can't be the same as the invitation sticker, the welcome came, looked at it with a smile, and didn't open it to look at it, so he handed it back directly.

"Boy, you are not small, we ......" Hai Liu's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to get angry immediately.

"Hehe, I am only celebrating the birthday of an old lady now, and today I came to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Wang, and it is also Mr. Wang's face is big enough! Friend, let me in! Ma De stopped Hailiu with his eyes, and said to the welcome guest with a smile.

"Oh?" Is it also that Master Wang's face is big enough? Yingbin didn't know whether to express his contempt or disdain for Ma De's big tone, but under curiosity, he finally uncovered Ma De's name sticker!
