A knife in love

Chapter 297

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Not everyone in Jinyiwei possesses profound martial arts. Although some people are not skilled in martial arts, they are very resourceful, but they can still occupy a high position in Jinyiwei. According to Mrs. Sha's words, look at what the eldest son of the Ma family has done. Pai, I'm afraid they are not from a family of martial arts. It's just that the more Jinyiwei officials are like this, the more terrifying they are. Although Sha Yiming's martial arts are high, trespassing in the shoulder pole alley without permission is a great risk."

Mrs. Sha didn't know what Li Qiufeng was thinking, and then said: "Yiming saw these women entering the building, but he ignored it, and followed that Mr. Ma's family to the front yard from a distance. Mr. Ma's family His footsteps were frivolous, and he hummed a ditty while walking. Although the servant who led the way walked powerfully, he was not possessed of superior martial arts. Yiming felt relieved, followed behind and turned around a garden , and walked through two courtyard gates, and then arrived at the front yard.

"The front yard is a large quadrangle courtyard. After entering through the corner gate, the servant led Mr. Ma to the main hall, and said respectfully, "Three masters, the eldest son has arrived."

"After a while, I heard an old voice from inside the room saying: 'Let him in!'

"The young master of the Ma family still didn't care about it. He walked to the door of the lobby and said to the servant in a low voice: "You will arrive at the room in a while, and go and pay me 20 taels of silver for urgent needs." The servant showed With a look of embarrassment, just as he was about to speak, the young master of the Ma family stared at him and said, "You dare to be disobedient, believe it or not, I will drive you and your old mother out of the house tomorrow?!" The servant was startled , lowered his voice and said: "My lord, the 35 taels of silver you paid in advance the last two times have not been written off. The accountant's old Wu has been chasing my ass for money these days. You want to advance again now. This, this is not Did you take the villain's life?"

"The young master of the Ma family chuckled and said: "If your life can be exchanged for silver, I really want it, young master! It's a pity, your cheap life can't be exchanged for a few silver coins, so why should I want him?" The servant didn't dare to say any more, bowed and stepped aside. But Yiming hid at the corner door, and by the light of the wind lantern in front of the door, he saw a vicious look on the servant's drooping face.

"The young master of the Ma family was arrogant. He didn't look at the servant at all. He stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in. The servant quickly closed the door and turned his head to look around. After confirming that there was no one there, he saw the servant standing sideways. With a straight face, he put his left ear close to the crack of the door, trying to eavesdrop on the voices in the room.

"When Yiming saw this, he couldn't help feeling suspicious. From the looks of this servant, he was just a servant of the Ma family. It's just that when he was humiliated by the young master of the Ma family just now, he acted indifferently. He didn't look like a shrewd person. It's just that when he bowed his head and said nothing later, the expression on his face was sinister and terrifying. At this time, he was lying on the door to eavesdrop again, and his behavior was very suspicious.

"Yi Ming looked around for no one, and immediately performed lightness kung fu, quietly went to the roof, gently moved two tiles, and looked down from the gap in the roof. There was only one oil lamp lit in the hall. It is extremely dark. There is a grand master's chair in the middle, and an old man in his 50s is sitting on it. Looking down from the roof, he can see that this man has an eagle nose and tiger eyes, and he is not angry. The lower head is placed on the left and right. There are four chairs, one person sits on the first chair on each side. The man on the left is thin and dry with a slight beard under his chin. The man on the right is tall and tall with a square face and mustache. Wearing a gray robe, he was holding a cup of tea, but didn't drink it, as if he was thinking about something.

"At this time, the young master of the Ma family had already entered the hall. He cupped his hands at the old man sitting in the middle, and said to the two sitting on the left and right sides with a smile on his face: "My nephew has seen the second uncle and the third uncle." The skinny and withered man frowned and said: "Jun'er, you are getting more and more outrageous. The second uncle received a secret report from the Shuntian Mansion that you fought with someone in the Anxiang Building yesterday, and you beat the old bustard. Even the second son of Gao Yushi's family had his nose broken by you, if this continues, the second uncle will not be able to take care of you anymore.'

"The young master of the Ma family chuckled and said, "Gao Yushi is a person who has committed a crime. What is there to be proud of? His second child looks poor and dares to snatch a woman from me. Isn't he looking for death? Aunt Cui, I Just fell in love, his mother's bustard dared to ask Cui Guer to sing for Ma Laoer, how could I let these two bastards go?!'

"The skinny old man said: "Although Gao Yushi was convicted, the emperor has no intention to take him. He is the confidant of Mr. Liu Ge, and the cabinet scholars will protect him. Maybe it's just a reprimand, what a shit No. At that time, he will submit a copy of your second uncle's book, and this matter will not be easy to handle.'

"Mr. Ma's family looked carefree, sat down on a chair next to the man on the right, took a sip from the teacup, and said with a smile: 'Second Uncle, who are you? The hundreds of households in the Zhenfu Division, even those ministers, who would dare to refute your face?"

"The skinny old man sighed, turned his head and said to the old man sitting on the teacher's chair: "Brother, if Jun'er continues like this, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to our Ma family..." The old man waved his hand and said "He's right. My second son, since we're on the side of Mr. Yang Ge, we can't make excuses with Liu. I know your plan and want to please both sides. But you Have you ever thought about it, if it goes on like this, neither side will be as good as us. You shouldn't know how Xia Shilang from the Ministry of Rites lost his head?'

"The skinny old man looked worried, and said: 'Brother, can you guarantee that Yang Ge will overwhelm Liu Ge?' The old man sitting on the grand teacher's chair said: 'Second brother, our family has been an official in Jinyiwei for generations. Mr. Liu Ge has been in the cabinet for seven years, and he is in the same position as Jin Yiwei. If he overthrows Mr. Yang Ge, our Ma family will definitely have no good fruit to eat. I heard the news. Mr. Liu Ge held a list in his hand. They are all the names of the officials he wants to get rid of after he overthrows Mr. Yang Ge. We, the three brothers of the Ma family, are among the top [-] on his list...'

"When the old man said this, except for Mr. Ma who was still smiling, the faces of the other two changed drastically. The old man with a Chinese face said: "Brother is right! Since we are on the boat of Mr. Yang Ge, we can only I can go all the way to the dark, and fight Lao Liu to the end!" The skinny old man's complexion was cloudy, and he muttered in his mouth: "Liu Ge is still good to our Ma family. He didn't take the case of Master Guo the year before last Our brothers are implicated in...'

"Before he finished speaking, he heard the old man sitting on the grand teacher's chair sneer and said: 'Do you think he really has such a good heart? You have to do it, you can't! That's what Yang Ge did behind his back and got it Huang Ze, a veteran under his sect, was forced to let our brother go. If not, our brother would have been sent to the sky prison, and he might have been pushed out of the Meridian Gate to be beheaded like Lao Guo gone.'

"Yiming leaned on the roof and listened to these people discussing in low voices. It was all important matters in the court, and most of them couldn't understand. I couldn't help but feel anxious, and when I was thinking, I heard the skinny old man say: 'These Let's talk about it later. Now that the members of the Fang family have arrived in the capital, how can we deal with them?"

"Hearing what he said, Yiming knew that these people had finally got to the point, so he raised his spirits immediately. But he heard the old man sitting on the grand teacher's chair say: 'The Fang family is a hot potato, and now I hold it in my hand for fear of getting burned. It's a pity to throw it away, so we brothers have to discuss it carefully. Old man Fang asked his grandson to pass the word. The family who escaped this time may know something about the Fang family, our Ma family, and the Fujian Wang family. , so the whole family must be eliminated, and no one who knows about it can stay!'

"The young master of the Ma family interjected at this time: "The Fang family's bastards are sending money and women to our Ma family with shamelessness. Isn't it just to curry favor with my father and find out news about the capital? The women they sent were all crying. , the whole body is full of bad luck, which has caused our Ma family to have troubles in recent years...'

"Before he finished his sentence, the skinny old man snorted and said, "Jun'er, you can't go too far. No matter how stupid the girl of the Fang family is, she still has three lives. If you say you will kill her, you will kill her. Are you not afraid of God's punishment?" '"

When Mrs. Sha said this, her eyes turned red again.Murong Danyan said angrily: "This family is not a good person. Sister, that old man of your family is really... really a... villain!"

Mrs. Sha gave a wry smile, and said: "Sister, he is not the only villain in the Fang family? Everyone just wants to survive, and they dare to do anything in order to survive. The women in our Fang family are the ones who survived." It’s just a tool. The four elder sisters who were sent to the Ma’s family are just a very small number of the hundreds of women who have suffered misfortune in the Fang family’s more than a hundred years.”

When Mrs. Sha said this, two lines of tears finally flowed down from her eyes.
