When Mrs. Sha said this, she suddenly heard a low roar from the tiger crouching behind Sha Zhongyu, and there was a rumbling echo from the huge cave, which shook everyone's ears. Several of the maids' faces had changed drastically, and they all reached out to cover their ears.

The old servant Hou Zhen said to Mrs. Sha: "Grandma, Ah Er must have heard a strange sound outside the cave, so he made a warning. The old slave went to the entrance of the cave and looked, if it was ......"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "This tiger has a huge body, but it has the name of 'Ah Er', which sounds a little interesting. ”

Mrs. Sha shook her head and said, "The boulder at the entrance of the cave has been lowered, and the enemy will not even think of opening it even if it takes a few days and nights." Uncle don't worry. It's been hard for you for the past few days, so it's better to rest. ”

Hou Zhen put his hands at his side and said respectfully, "That's what Grandma said. ”

Mrs. Sha then said to everyone: "After Yiming returns to Shajiabao, he will tell me in detail what he has seen and heard in Ma's house in the capital. When I heard that my sister died at the hands of Ma Jun, my liver and gall were broken, and I cried a lot. After repeated persuasions, I was still grieved. The last Ming said: "Ma Jun is ruthless and a very powerful character. If we don't want to come up with a foolproof plan, it will be even more difficult for this person to fight against him after he gains power. Miss Fang has a deep hatred of blood, and she must not spoil her body, otherwise she can only let Ma Jun take advantage of it. ’

"I thought about it, and I held back my tears. Yiming arranged for several sisters in the fort to accompany me, and he summoned his powerful subordinates in Shajiabao to go to the capital for several days to inquire about the news. He himself changed the precedent that the owner of Shajiabao never made friends with officials in the capital, and privately visited several officials who had close friends with the Sha family. It took four days to get a general picture of the matter, and then he hurried back to Shajiabao and told me the details of the joints. It turned out that the Ma family was also a hero who accompanied Emperor Chengzu to raise troops and settle down in the country, and after the invasion of Nanjing, the ancestors of the Ma family accumulated merit and were awarded the official shadow of the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei. It was passed on to Ma Shisheng's father's generation, with a total of six brothers. Ma Shisheng's father is the eldest son, and the official shade naturally falls on him. Who knew that the other brothers joined forces to create an incident in the Ma family, forcing Ma Shisheng's father to give up his official shadow and transfer it to the second child of the Ma family. The second eldest of the Ma family is Ma Shiyan's father, and he is the most insidious. After he got Guanyin, he knew that he had snatched Guanyin from his eldest brother's line by despicable means, and if he didn't get rid of his eldest brother's entire family, he would be retaliated against in the future. It was because of his hard work that he forced Ma Shisheng, who was already on an errand in the brocade guard.

"That Ma Shisheng is really amazing. At that time, his father lost his official shadow and died of a violent illness in depression. In order to be born, he went to the army outside the Guan, worked as a slave in the Tartar military camp for several years, spying on the military situation of the Tartar soldiers, and finally made great contributions and was awarded the Jinyi Guard Hundred Households. At that time, Ma Shiyan's father also passed away, and the official shadow fell on Ma Shiyan. It's just that although the two of them are both Jinyi Wei 100 households, Ma Shisheng's title was earned by real military exploits, which is 100 times stronger than the 100 households that Ma Shiyan got by virtue of his official shadow. In the future, the evaluation of the officials and the internal meritorious deeds of Jinyiwei will be rewarded, and Ma Shisheng's future will be much brighter than Ma Shiyan.

When Ma Shiyan's father was dying, he called Ma Shiyan to the sickbed and told him that he had inherited the official shadow handed down from his ancestors, and all the brothers of the Ma family were unconvinced, and he had a life-and-death enmity with Ma Shisheng's long house. At present, Ma Shisheng's accumulated merits have also been promoted to 100 households, if he climbs up, he will definitely retaliate against Ma Shiyan, and he must think of cutting off Ma Shisheng's future and driving him out of Jinyiwei.

After Ma Shiyan's father died, Ma Shiyan thought of many ways, spent countless amounts of silver, and dotted up and down in Jinyiwei, and finally took advantage of a major corruption case in Jinyi Weinan Town, and weaved Ma Shisheng into it, and cut his title of 100 households, and almost exiled Ma Shisheng to Lingnan. It's just that the Ministry of War remembered that Ma Shisheng had been a slave in the Tartar Army outside the Guanwai for several years and spying on a lot of military information, and repeatedly pleaded for Ma Shisheng, which saved him. Ma Shisheng did not die, but he fell into an evaluation of 'corruption and dereliction of duty, despicable and shameless, and never used', was driven out of Jinyiwei, and became a white man living in the capital.

"It's just that the Ma family has been working in Jinyiwei for generations, but they have also accumulated a lot of gold and silver. After Ma Shisheng lost his official position, he relied on his previous connections to lend money in the capital, but he also became a wealthy man at ease. Ma Jun is his only son, but he has been pampered since he was a child, and when he grows up, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does all kinds of evil, and he is a well-known loser in the capital. However, Ma Shiyan's son Ma Jie is a young man, calm and calculating, and took over Ma Shiyan's errand in Jinyiwei early, and handled several major cases in a row, which was appreciated by the commander of Jinyiwei. Compared with the two, Ma Shisheng's vein is even more unaffordable. Over the years, Ma Shiyan has used all kinds of means behind his back, wanting to put Ma Shisheng to death, but Ma Shisheng is not a fool, he spends money everywhere, and finally escapes the catastrophe of life and death several times. Later, Ma Shiyan saw that this cousin had broken off the idea of going out, and his nephew Ma Jun was not successful, so he thought to himself: "This father and son are depressed and decadent, and the other is incompetent. What's more, even Ma Shisheng's younger brother Ma Shiqing was also co-opted by himself and promised to join forces to deal with Ma Shisheng. In this way, there is no need to bear the notoriety of harming the eldest brother, and Ma Shisheng's father and son have no chance to turn over. It was because he relaxed his persecution of Ma Shisheng, and just tried to get money from Ma Shisheng.

It's just that Ma Shiyan has made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Ma Shisheng's father and son to be so stoic. Ma Shiyan did all kinds of things behind his back, Ma Shiyan didn't know it at the beginning of his life, but after finding out the news, the overall situation was controlled by Ma Shiyan. He knew that he could no longer confront Ma Shiyan head-on at this time, so he pretended not to know the inside story at all, and first quit his errand at Jinyiwei, but only focused on lending money to make money. Later, he connived at Ma Jun's nonsense and did all kinds of evil things, making others think that the Ma family father and son no longer had the heart to enter the ranks, and confused Ma Shiyan and made him relax his persecution. Ma Shiyan really fell for the plan, although he still sent people to closely monitor the every move of Ma Shisheng's father and son, he didn't bother to use any more vicious means to frame the Ma family's father and son. Ma Shisheng secretly got in touch with the bigwigs of the DPRK and the vassal kings of other places, and wanted to take advantage of the changes in the political situation in the DPRK and China, intending to make a comeback.

After King Ning rebelled, Ma Shisheng placed himself in Jiangxi's inner line to report the rebels' military situation to the imperial court, and made great contributions. Ma Shiyan faintly felt that Ma Shisheng was not at ease, so he regretted it a little and wanted to deal with Ma Shisheng again. It's just that Ma Shisheng does things without leakage, which makes Ma Shiyan confused, and he doesn't know if his cousin is about to move again, so he personally comes to the door from time to time to test Ma Shisheng's tone. When Yiming visited the Ma family at night, it was because the Fang family sent someone to intercept me and my father, Ma Shiyan took advantage of this matter to go to Ma Shisheng's mansion and implore Ma Shisheng to preside over the plan. Ma Shisheng said to Ma Shiyan and Ma Shiqing that it was okay to come up with his own ideas, and Ma Shiyan would have to do the big things. Ma Shiyan saw that Ma Shisheng was not overstepping his authority, and Ma Jun, a loser, was even more useless, so he put his heart down.

"Ma Jun has been harshly trained by Ma Shisheng since he was a child, and he has become an extremely terrible killer. On the surface, he is a gentleman who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does all kinds of evil, but behind his back, he practices martial arts hard, and he is even more familiar with military books and war strategies. He sang and harmonized with Ma Shisheng, and did all kinds of evil deeds, which was to ask Ma Shiyan and others to despise him, in order to give Ma Shiyan a fatal blow at the last moment.

"These things of the Ma family are extremely secretive, and almost no one knows about the actions of Ma Shisheng's father and son. It's just that the person entrusted by Yiming is a great figure in the capital. This person not only knows everything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but also knows the major events in the court. In the past, when this person was in trouble, he was rescued by Yiming's father and owed a favor. For decades, Shajiabao never used this relationship. This time, Yiming personally visited the door, but the person also tried his best, and it only took one day and one night to find out the intricate relationship between the Ma family and Yiming.

Yiming told the man what he had seen with his own eyes at Ma's house that night. The man pondered for a long time, and then told Yiming that Ma Shisheng was decadent on the surface, but in fact, there was not a day when he didn't want to re-enter the ranks, and even didn't hesitate to let Ma Jun have a bad name. It's just that he also knows that even if he re-enters the government with the help of changes in the court situation, he has such a notorious son, and it must be extremely difficult to make a difference in officialdom. It was because he had raised the outer chamber a few years ago and bore him a son. It was so secret that even the woman didn't know where he came from. Ma Shisheng has already made a plan, once the situation changes, he will turn over with the help of the power of the bigwigs in the DPRK, first of all, he must get rid of Ma Shiyan and Ma Shiqing, and then he will execute Ma Jun, so as to have a reputation of 'righteous annihilation'. At that time, when he re-enters the office, he can straighten out the outer room, and the heir of the Ma family will also have it, so that he can get what he wants. It's just that Ma Jun is really good, and he knows everything about what Ma Shisheng did, but he just keeps pretending not to know. At this time, when the situation was about to change greatly, he actually attacked first and killed his father with his own hands, this scheming really makes people shudder!"
