Chapter 139 Ai Qing, Don't Be Impulsive
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Ma Gui tremblingly said: "Do it? It must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!
The folks in our Mizhuang are all young people, and they are all hard-working, impatient, and don't know the rules. They offended the officials, and I will apologize for them.

But why come to check?
I do business with real materials and fair prices, no conflicts with my neighbors, and I pay taxes on time and according to the amount every year.

Master Liu, you have to give me an explanation.

Although I am the owner of Mizhuang, I still have to explain to the nobleman. "

What he said was soft and hard.

"Great man?" Lin Fan asked back, "Weng Ke? If you do all these things for him, he dares to protect you, would he wish to tear you up? Ma Gui, tell me, who did you guys learn how to tie the rope? here?"

This question is like a thunderbolt.

Ma Gui was stunned by Lin Fan's words. After a while, his eyelids moved.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Fan carefully.

Young, dare to call "Weng Ke" by his name, dressed in red...

Ma Gui's eyes darkened, and his breath stuck in his throat.

Why is he so stupid!

After doing business for a long time, I really forgot what I actually do.

When he was called to the yamen, he still thought that the benefits were not enough, so, so...

He was not targeted by the Jingzhao Yamen, but by the Chiyiwei.

"The method of tying the rope," Ma Gui swallowed, "I don't quite understand what your lord means."

"Is it true that no one in Beijing recognizes the Xiliang horse thief?" Lin Fan asked.

Ma Gui sat down on the ground.

He was negligent.

The capital is too far away from Xiliang, and he only does business with ordinary merchants. Ordinary people, how can they have such insight, so the past few years have been smooth sailing, and there has never been a problem.

Unexpectedly, I was recognized by someone...

People were arrested, and follow-up interrogations continued one after another.

Lin Fan simply prepared the notes and sent them to the Imperial Study Room.

The emperor opened it and read it, and his face was extremely embarrassed: "A horse thief background? I have been lurking in Beijing for several years, and I don't know how much information I have sold!"

A horse thief only recognizes money.

Regardless of Xiliang, Nanshu, or other surrounding forces, as long as they give money, horse thieves have nothing they can't sell.

I don't know which party gave a lot of money to let horse thieves do this kind of duplicity.

"It's really luck to be able to catch them this time," Lin Fan cupped his hands, "God bless Da Zhou, so that I can accidentally find them.

On the surface, it is a rice farm business, but a large number of goods come in and out of the city gate. Ma Guiduo has been doing business for several years. If he wants to get acquainted with some guards, he can secretly transport some deadly things with malicious intentions, and he can do it.

Taking this opportunity, I want to do more research, and I have to ask about Uncle Zhongqin's residence. "

The emperor stared at the fold in front of him.

"Check it out, check it out for me!" The emperor said, "As for Weng Ke, let him come see me!"

When Eunuch Xu heard the words, he hurried to make arrangements.

The emperor did not let Lin Fan go, and asked many details about the spies.

It is said that he went to buy porridge with Huang Yi that night, and when he saw the rice village delivering the goods, he found the clue, and the emperor hurriedly called Huang Yi who was on duty.

Huang Yi answered five to ten.

The ins and outs can match what Lin Fan said.

The emperor stroked his beard and nodded.

It was indeed a coincidence, and it was indeed God Blessing Zhou.

Inserting a spy into the capital is like putting a knife next to his pillow!

Compared with foreign thieves...

The emperor glanced at Lin Fan.

He had already received the empress dowager's reply that day.

I was very angry at the time, but I can't care about it now.

Anger and worry about the spies made him temporarily put the "internal conflict" with Lin Fan behind him.

Regardless of how much Lin Fan knew, what the Lin family and the Qin family thought, he needed Lin Fan to catch all the spies for him now!

After waiting for a while, Weng Ke hadn't arrived yet, and word spread that the Marquis of Yongning had come first.

Qin Yin stepped inside and saluted the emperor: "I heard that Xiliang has planted spies in Beijing."

The emperor frowned: "Your news is very good."

"Chiyiwei has brought so many people back, and there are still many bags of rice. Those who are sitting in the Thousand Steps Corridor, as long as they are not deaf or blind, have heard of it," Qin Yin said, "Your Majesty, Xiliang people have bad intentions. !

When they closed the border, they made a small fuss, which seemed difficult, but they reached out to the capital in private, and they definitely wanted to make trouble.

It's still in the food business, if he sells poisoned rice, wouldn't it be bad? "

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help thinking.

Lin Fan was also thinking.

It was his plan with the old Hou Ye to let Grand Master Huang throw the chess pieces out.

But which one was thrown out, they didn't know in advance.

However, since it was deliberately thrown out as an abandoned child and caught by Lin Fan, it will definitely not be difficult to find out.

If throwing a foggy chess piece out, it would take a lot of time just to peel off the cocoons, which is not in line with Taishi Huang's needs to train young officials, beat Guoshi Deng, use external enemies to resolve internal conflicts, and set a new stage for the emperor and Taifu Xu.

Ma Gui's buddy, impulsive and aggressive, was picked by Huang Taishi.

After taking over Mi Zhuang today, Lin Fan did not seek an opportunity to discuss with the old Hou Ye.

The old Hou Ye came here to add fuel to the fire.

So……

"Poisoned rice..." Lin Fan looked at the emperor, "Old Hou Ye said so, but...

There are not only Magui's shops in the capital city, but also more than a dozen other state capitals, and some of them have very good business in the local area.

After several years of business, no one will doubt him once he uses poisonous rice.

Only the Pingjiang tower is liked by the grand master, and many noble children in Beijing often go there. I heard that there are some elders who will let their servants buy it.

The poisonous porridge fell into the stomach, and countless officials and their families fell down.

Other shops that do business with Ma Gui, their customers will also suffer, everyone from nobles to ordinary people may be poisoned. "

A few words made the emperor's complexion more and more ugly.

The Marquis of Yongning blushed even more, and begged for orders: "Your Majesty, please lead the troops to attack Xiliang, we can't let them be so arrogant!"

The emperor didn't answer, his eyes turned between Qin Yin and Lin Fan.

It seems unusual, but it also seems very common.

After all, Qin Yin has always had such a hot temper.

"Ai Qing, don't be impulsive," the emperor said, "Even if you want to send troops, it's not like you just caught a few spies and went out without trial."

Qin Yin was anxious to speak again, and Weng Ke arrived.

He could only step back, with his hands behind his back, his face sullen, sullen.

Weng Ke also got some news, and tremblingly knelt down to plead guilty: "I do know Ma Gui, but I'm not very close. He wants to do business, so I introduce him. I never thought that he, he would be a spy!"

The emperor scolded: "You, Weng Ke, are in a hurry, so let me introduce you? You have a lot of face, you can eat well, are you amazing?"

Weng Ke shrank his neck and wept bitterly: "I am guilty, I am guilty!"

"If you are guilty, go to the prison!" The emperor said angrily, "Go to the prison and calculate for yourself how many benefits you have received!"

　See you guys tomorrow.
