"My wife, this is the blood swallow that I specially sent someone to get for you for more than 180 miles, come ...... How about tasting it! ”

Ma De didn't know that his hard work was going to be in vain, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't be good, because his first priority now was to take care of Luo Xin, and he didn't have so much energy to care about other things.

"One hundred and eighty miles? On all sides of Anqing, no matter where you run 180 miles, it is either a small village, a crop field, or a mountain and jungle,...... If you get it from these places, then I'm afraid the quality of your blood swallow will not be very good! ”

Luo Xin was looking at a booklet in his room, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Ma De walking in with a tray and shouting as if he was reporting his merits.

"Not how? Wife, what you just said is slander! You know? This is the best bird's nest! …… You don't want to think about it, since it is used to honor his wife, how dare the villain use defective products to fill good goods? Smiling at Luo Xin, Ma De put the tray on the table, brought the bowl of bird's nest on it to Luo Xin, scooped it with a small spoon, and handed it directly to Luo Xin's lips.

"Hmmm! It tastes good! ”

Luo Xin took a bite and smiled.

"Of course. I know you love to eat, come on, come on, eat it all......" Mader scooped another spoonful and handed it over.

"Okay, okay, let's see if you can really make trouble! I'm not hungry, so why do I need to eat so much? Glaring at Ma De with some amusement, Luo Xin smiled.

"It's not going to work. Wife, have you forgotten? You've now risen in the ranks! Don't say it's me, even if Fei Lao is here, it will definitely not be a problem for you to ask him to call you 'little aunt and grandma'! And if I don't fatten you a little before they come, you're going to have to get K! …… Phew, a few more bites! Mader said as he handed the spoon over again.

"Fattened? How fat do you want me to be? Want to deform my body? …… Do you know that you belong to the category of their hearts? Luo Xin smiled, stretched out his hand and gently gave Ma De a violent shudder, but he didn't refuse, took the bowl and spoon and took a small bite to eat.

"That's right. I've seen advertisements for pregnant women eating bird's nest before, and it's absolutely one person eating two people to make up for it, so ah, you have to eat more of these things! Ma De leaned in front of Luo Xin again and smiled.

"Do you still eat less supplements now? You'd better come less! …… Now just take a look at the supplements at home! I suspect that the hundreds of miles of medicine gardens in Ningguta have probably moved you here! ......," Luo Xin said angrily.

"Small meaning. Don't say hundreds of miles, as long as your wife is willing, we can bring all the supplements from all over China! Mader patted his chest and reassured.

"Go and go, and I'm not afraid of blowing the sky out!"

After taking another small bite of bird's nest, Luo Xin put the bowl and spoon down and sneered at Ma De.

……

"Well, that, how many times have I warned you? You're not just you and me now, why are you still struggling? What are you looking at? After laughing for a while, Ma De saw the booklet that Luo Xin had just placed on the table, and grabbed it as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Nothing. Some of the things below, and not much! …… Husband, I want to find some people, train them well, and then set up a law firm, so that in the future, those ordinary people will not have to go around looking for those lawyers who are not very good in lawsuits! What do you think? Luo Xin said nonchalantly.

"Lawyers? …… Hehe, it's a shame that you can figure it out! But isn't that a little ahead of its time? Besides, there aren't many lawsuits from those people now! Mader laughed.

"Just because there isn't much doesn't mean there won't be in the future. It's called prevention before it happens! It's also called strict prevention and death fighting, understand? Luo Xin glanced at Ma De and said.

"Understood, understood...... Madeira said in a long voice, and then laughed: "'Strike hard'!" Who doesn't know this? ”

"Go, go, no kidding you! …… Actually, it's not just the lawyer's office, I want to build a few more technical schools, so that I can teach more things! …… You don't know, just my little ability, now when I see those people, I always feel very pressured! Luo Xin said with a slightly sad face.

"Technical school?" Ma De pondered for a moment, then threw the booklet aside, and then, he leaned over to the tip of Luo Xin's nose, and said solemnly, "I will never object to what you want." However, no matter what you build, you will keep it honestly for me now. Don't worry about it. Anyway, I got the news, and it won't take long for Brother Yu and Sister Jing to come. Then it's up to me and them to do it. As for you, your task now is to recuperate, maintain, recuperate, and cultivate...... Do you understand? ”

"Poof!" was laughed at by Ma De's words again, and Luo Xin smashed him again angrily, but her sadness also dissipated a lot.

"Hehe, wife, your fists seem to be a little weak! I've heard people say that pregnant women have bad tempers, so why do I think you're the opposite? Ma De enjoyed the warm moment between the husband and wife, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"You mean I'm usually bad-tempered?" Luo Xin gave him a blank look and asked.

"Where? Wife, you can't wronged a good person! Madkai shouted.

……

"Knock ......"

"Did you hear anything?" While laughing, Luo Xin suddenly stopped moving, and then asked Ma De again.

"No? What is it? Seeing this, Ma De also stood still, and listened carefully with his ears sideways.

"Boom! ……”

“…… It's like a drum! Luo Xin said.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The sound is getting clearer!

"What's going on? My yamen can actually sound a big drum? Mader shouted. He had already determined the source of the drum, and it was the big drum placed at the entrance of his yamen, which was called "the drum of injustice" by the people.

"It won't be a trivial matter to go to the governor's yamen to beat the drums, you better go and have a look!" Luo Xin restrained his smile and said.

"Know! Alas, it was simply not to make me feel better. When I first became the governor, Anhui was rotten like that, and no one came to beat this rotten drum, so how much better is the situation now? Why are some people not satisfied? I've only been governor for a few days? And here they were! This is clearly here to cause me trouble! Ma De shook his head and said unhappily.

"Don't put gold on your face! No one came to you for trouble before, it was because there was Shi Shilun's 'Blue Sky Master' to solve disasters for the people, as for you, hum! It is purely a listed and closed for business. Now that Shi Shilun is gone, of course you will have to take action as the governor. It's a different story! …… Check it out! Otherwise, someone will come to urge you later! Luo Xin fiddled with Mader's head a few times and said.

"Okay, okay!" Shaking his head helplessly, Ma De turned around and walked outside the house, walked to the door of the house and suddenly turned his head to Luo Xin and said, "I ordered in the kitchen, there will be a bowl of bird's nest in a while, but you have to drink it clean!" ”

"What did you say?"

Before Luo Xin could react, Ma De had already run away.

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

"Lord Qingtian, for the people's women......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The shouts are terrible, and the drums are heavy!

Ma De just changed into his official uniform and walked to the back of the hall, listening to this voice, his originally good mood immediately sank, and his heart was also sullen! …… Speaking of which, he has been a feudal official for several years, but when he came out to sit in the lobby to try the case, it was the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. …… Hand raw!

"Ascension!"

Now you have to go to church if you don't go to church. Ma De calmed down, commanded in a deep voice, and then, with a whole expression, took off his official uniform, and walked to the front hall. Xing Ming and a few other masters also rushed over, and when they saw that the chief officer had passed, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and walked out with two steps. At the same time, the three drums sounded, and the three classes of officials and a group of officials with big sticks in their hands swarmed out of the side door of the lobby. Then, the lobby resounded with a shocking majesty: "Mighty ......"

"Your Excellency the Governor will go up to the court to inquire about the case and bring the complainant here!"

The men brought by Ma De all entered his Fubiao, which is now the camp of the superintendent, and belonged to the pro-soldiers. The officials in the governor's yamen were all left behind, and they were very familiar with the rules of the hall. As soon as Zhao De, the head of the team, saw Ma De sitting in the main hall, he immediately walked to the entrance of the hall and shouted loudly.

"Bring the complainant ......"

"Bring it on!"

After the squad leader finished shouting, the officials outside passed the word layer by layer, and soon, a woman in her thirties, covered in mud, walked in under the leadership of the officials. Entering the lobby, she saw Ma De sitting under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging" from a distance, she knelt down with a plop, climbed a few steps forward, and cried while kowtowing: "Lord Qingtian, please, save my son." Please......"

"Your son? …… What's wrong? Don't rush, speak slowly! "Kidnapping? When Mader heard the woman's cry, such a word immediately popped into his head.

"Sir, you have to be the master of the people's wife...... It's been three years since my man was killed, and I know who the killer is...... However, I sued for three years, but no one was willing to redress my grievances! Now they've taken my son again, and I can't live! The woman cried out again, and as she spoke, tears rolled down her face, until she choked up and could not speak.

Ma De looked at her, and then looked at the people who were crowded at the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement, frowned secretly, and asked, "What is your name, do you have a paper?" ”

The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeve, but she still sobbed and said, "Woman Li Lin, my copy was handed to Huai'an Mansion three years ago. The house began to approve it, but then it was refuted. The second time I sued the Yamen, Lord Zhentai was still handed over to the Huai'an Mansion for trial, but they didn't even catch the murderer, and they took pity on me as a widow, and took the children to the Yamen to fight a lawsuit, and paid for dozens of acres of land and thousands of silver, and they refused to give me a fair word...... My son...... Whose hands are you in now......"

The woman's mournful cry made Mader's heart beat for a while, and he already had a premonition that this case was coming out of the ordinary. At that moment, he settled down and asked the woman again: "Li Lin's, Huai'an Mansion is in Jiangsu, why did you come to Anhui to complain?" ”

"I don't know, for more than a year, the women's family has also been defeated, and the property is gone, I would rather guard my son and die than sue again. Later, I was told that the new governor was a blue sky who could avenge me. However, the women have just arrived in Anqing, and they have somehow learned about these things, and they stole my son again! My son, where are you......" Li Lin cried like a madman, his eyes were demented, his expression was in a trance, and his two hands were grasping wildly in the sky.

"My lord, I know a little bit about this case!" Xing Ming looked at Ma De and couldn't understand it, so he knew that it was Li Lin who didn't explain it, so he leaned into Ma De's ear and said.

"What is the case?" Mader asked softly.

"That's what I've heard, too. It is said that three years ago, Huai'an Mansion sent a big flood, and the imperial court sent grain relief. Ten people, including Li Yuchang, a new science and technology jinshi, were sent to Shanyang County to investigate and provide disaster relief. As a result, he died inexplicably. The county ordered Wang Shenhan to report a self-hanging. This Li Lin is Li Yuchang's wife, and he ran to sue after just over a month. It is said that Li Yuchang was poisoned to death by Wang Shenhan, as evidenced by bloody clothes and pestles. However, I don't know how to do it, and I haven't been able to sue it. This Li Lin is a fierce woman, she sued again and again if she didn't succeed, and she came and went, and she sued for more than two years! As a result, all the family property was ruined. Xing Ming said softly.

"Is it a case from Jiangsu Province?" Ma De has roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, which is nothing more than the wife avenging her husband. He has always heard a lot of this kind of thing, but this is the first time he has experienced it himself. I can't help but feel a little distressed. Although he is not afraid of provoking anyone, his current decision is not to trouble Jiangsu officials for the time being, so as not to cause another conflict. But this Li Lin's case is ...... again

"Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of the people's wife. My husband is dead, my son is gone, and I can't live anyway...... God, where are you? Why don't you take care of us poor people? You thundered and lightning that day, but why didn't you kill those who deserved to be killed by heaven, but where did you want to get my son away? Li Linshi suddenly cried out again, startling Ma De, who was thinking about what to do.

"Your son is lost! When was it lost? Ma De listened to Li Lin's miserable crying, and he didn't care about thinking about anything more, so he had to solve the current problem first.

"It was yesterday! I took my son to Anqing to complain, and I lived in the Land Temple in the north of the city! It rained that night, and our mother and son hid from the rain in the temple......" Speaking of his son, Li Lin's mind was a little clearer, and he was finally able to make it clear intermittently. It turned out that after she heard that Ma De could avenge her, she reluctantly scraped together a little entanglement, and then took her son all the way to Anhui, but when she saw that she had arrived in Anqing, it rained heavily, and she and her son's coils were used up on the road, and she couldn't afford to live in an inn, so she went to the small land temple on the outskirts of the city to hide from the rain, and fell asleep while hiding, but she never thought that as soon as the sky was bright today, her son was gone, and there was only a note left next to her, asking her to give up the complaint and go back to Jiangsu immediately, otherwise, Just waiting to collect his son's body. At this time, Li Lin panicked, and immediately went crazy looking for his son. Of course, she didn't find anything. However, after a day of venting, she also calmed down a little and began to take the initiative to think about some problems. However, this thought frightened her again! What hasn't she seen in the past few years, what hasn't she experienced? Since the son has been taken captive, it must be more than lucky, and maybe he will never come back...... The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she couldn't stand it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her son had been killed...... In this way, she finally couldn't help it, and rushed all the way to the governor's yamen to report the case. I don't want anything else, I just want to be able to find my son quickly!

"This woman is going to work hard!"

After listening to Li Lin's narration, Ma De couldn't help but take a secret breath. However, now is not the time to be lyrical, human life is at stake, and he can't care about sighing, so he shouted to the hall at the moment:

"Zhao Deyi!"

"What do you command?" The head of the official squad stood up and asked with his fists clenched.

"You immediately send out a government officer, together with the arrest of Anqing Mansion, block the four gates, and closely check suspicious people. At the same time, outside the city of Anqing Mansion, a comprehensive search must also be carried out! Strive to find Li Lin's son in the shortest possible time! Mader ordered.

"Humble command!" Zhao De answered and immediately walked out of the lobby.

"Master Xing!"

"The villain is here!"

"Immediately draft an official document and order the yamen in various places, especially the counties that have been handed over to Jiangsu, as well as the wharves of the Yangtze River, to strictly investigate!"

"Yes!"

"Li Lin, this official already knows the facts of your case. However, I don't think you're fit to go to the church today. Why don't you take a break and wait until you can find your son? As soon as Zhao De walked out, Ma De turned to Li Lin and said.

"My son! Lord Qingtian, you must find my son......" Li Lin kowtowed and couldn't stop shouting. Ma De looked uncomfortable and asked the female servant to take her down to rest. Then, he announced his retirement.

……

"My lord, I'm afraid you made a mistake in what you just did!" As soon as he got out of the hall, before Ma De could calm down, Xing Ming said to him.

"Missteps?" Ma De was stunned, "Why did you make a mistake?" ”

"My lord, if you send someone to look for it, then the life of Li Lin's son will be difficult to protect!" Xing Ming said.

"Is it hard to save your life? …… Oh! After Xing Ming's reminder, Ma Deluo thought about it and suddenly came to his senses. Send officials to arrest and find someone quickly, if those kidnappers escape in a hurry, kill Li Lin's son, and throw the body casually, it will be really difficult.

"Master Xing, what should I do? Do you want Zhao Deyi and them to come back? After Ma De figured it out, he immediately asked Xing Ming again.

"Adults don't have to be like that. It's good that you've been able to do this for the first time. Actually, my lord, you just need to send someone to tell Zhao Bantou to tell them, let them be tight and loose, and don't force those thieves to hurry. As long as they don't press too hard, those people will probably not jump over the wall in a hurry. …… However, from the point of view below, the son of the Li Lin clan may already be more than lucky. Since those thieves have arrested him, they may not keep him until today! So, if you want to search quickly, you have to have a good idea, my lord. Xing Ming said.

"......" Ma De clenched his fists and was silent for a long time.

"What do you think, sir?" Seeing that Ma De didn't speak for a while, Xing Ming couldn't help but call him.

"Forget it! Master Xing, you send someone to tell Zhao Deyi and let him relax. After all, human life comes first, since there is a glimmer of hope, you can still grab a handful! …… In addition, I ordered the Jiangsu Division to bring me the file of this case! Mader sighed and said.

"No adults!" As soon as Ma Decai finished speaking, Xing Ming said hurriedly.

"Can't? What's wrong? ”

"My lord, you can't ask Jiangsu for the case file so directly! It's going to leak stuffing! Xing Ming replied.

"You're worrying, aren't you? Li Lin's sons have all been stolen, what else is there to hide? Just go for it! Mader replied.

"My lord, don't you understand what is going on in this officialdom? If you ask for this file, you will be questioning the case. In that case, the relevant people below the Jiangsu Zhensi will definitely have to go up and down, and at that time, except for a Li Lin's pleading, I'm afraid you won't get anything. What's more, you don't get along well with the officials of Natong Province in Jiangsu, if this case can't be asked, then, what face will you have in front of Jiangsu officials in the future? I'm afraid your decree won't be able to command those people in the future! Xing Ming said.

"This ......" Ma De couldn't help frowning again when he heard Xing Ming say this, "Then what do you say?" ”

"My lord, although Li Yuchang is checking for relief as a jinshi, he is the emperor after all! If this Li Lin is not falsely accused, then this case is clearly a dereliction of duty by the Jiangsu Governor, and the Huai'an Mansion and Shanyang County officials conspired to conceal the facts of the case...... What a mortal sin! When the time comes, go up to the Zhisi and down to the county, but they all have to be questioned! Xing Ming said.

"I know!" Ma De nodded heavily and said, "This time it must be a big case." Otherwise, I wouldn't have made trouble with me, the governor's yamen. However, no matter how big this case is, I have to take it! ”

"My lord, the villain advises you not to take over this matter. In Li Lin's case, it is better to make the big things small, and the small things into nothing! …… That's a big problem! Xing Ming said.

"Turning a small thing into nothing? You're right! In his position, he does not seek his own government, but as the governor of the three provinces, he cannot stand up for the people under his rule! You...... Aren't you afraid of my retribution? …… My wife is pregnant! Ma De glared at Xing Ming and said.

"This ...... The villain is formless, and the adult is not strange. Xing Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately apologized to Ma De after he came to his senses, but after seeing that Ma De did not have any anger on his face, he laughed again: "Hehe, in fact, the villain also knows that you will definitely not care about this." However, after all, three years have passed since this case, and if it is taken over, I am afraid it will be difficult to handle! ”

"If it's hard, it's going to have to be done! You're my criminal master, so you'll have to give me a few ideas! Mader said.

"My lord, if you really want to ask and want to check, then the villain advises you to secretly send a message to Master Li Liang Li and Lord Zhang Kai Zhang first, let them secretly investigate!"

"Li Scale, Zhang Kai?"

"That's right! The general government envoy is in charge of the upper situation, and the lower is superior; The imperial envoy of Jiangnan Province is responsible for supervising the civil and military officials of Jiangsu, although it seems that the position is not high, but it is the two tight spells placed by the imperial court in Jiangnan, and Li and Zhang are both shrewd and capable people, so they will naturally help the adults to get things done! Xing Ming said.

"This too! …… Then you can send someone. Remember to tell them to be quick! I'm afraid I won't have to wait much longer. ”

"Don't worry, the villain will send someone!" Xing Minggong responded.

……

Xing Ming went to give the order, Ma De didn't go to Luo Xin, Luo Xin was a quick temper and had a strong sense of justice, he was afraid that what he encountered would affect Luo Xin, so he just stayed in the front yard and waited for his mood to ease up and then go to the backyard. However, after he was silent for a while, he thought of another question. That is, since there are Wei Dongting and others in Jiangsu as Kangxi's secret agents, why is there such a big case left until now? With Kangxi's temper, if Li Yuchang was really murdered, he would definitely not let it go easily! But this case has really been suppressed for three years!

"It's miserable, this case shouldn't be through the powerful above, right?"

Ma De thought for a moment and smiled bitterly.
