Step on a branch

Chapter 142 The more fierce the bite, the better
Spring is cold.

Ma Gui knelt on the floor tiles, the cold air rushed upwards, but his back was covered with sweat.

When he was young, he was the third leader of horse thieves in the northern part of Xizhou City.

The two elder brothers are among the best in the world in Kansai.

Ma Gui didn't have any other thoughts. He followed his brothers and led his subordinates to walk the rivers and lakes here. The days are beautiful.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Xuan conquered the west several times, Xiliang increased its defense force.

The entire Kansai has vigorously garrisoned troops, with particular emphasis on Xizhou City.

Although Da Zhou did not take down Xizhou City, the horse thieves who robbed this area couldn't survive at all.

Xizhou and Dixia Town are strictly guarded, under the hooves of Xiliang cavalry, they are not enough for horse thieves.

What's more terrible is that during an expedition, they encountered Da Zhou's army head-on, the two elder brothers died, and the brothers dispersed.

Later, there were fewer wars, but there was no place where horse thieves could live near Xizhou.

Ma Gui can only change his identity and start a business.

I have to say that he is really talented in business.

In a few years, the business has taken off. When I go back, I can offer incense to my brothers, and I can also serve good wine and food, which is not ashamed at all.

In front of the grave, he met his old brother.

That man joined the Xiliang army, and led him to meet a general, who came and went, and Ma Gui came to the capital of Dazhou.

Xiliang offered money to let him gain a foothold in Dazhou.

He vigorously engaged in business, lost many connections, and finally became the owner of Mizhuang.

"I, I..." Ma Gui wiped the cool sweat from his forehead, and said, "You have given me my rice farm, can I not lose money?"

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

Then, Ma Gui saw Lin Fan smiling.

The smile was very faint, without any warmth, but mocking in the indifference.

"Master Ma, do you really think of yourself as a rice farm owner?" Lin Fan asked.

Ma Gui froze.

The people in Chiyiwei were right, he had grown his business and accomplished a great career, so much so that he forgot that he himself was the leader of a spy, and his buddy was defected by his down-and-out subordinates.

Spy, what are you going to do now?
With a shock, Ma Gui realized.

Of course, even if you are caught, you will have to stir up trouble!

He is good at business, and he puts some thought into being a spy.

Ma Gui kept in mind the twists and turns among officials in the capital.

"A person like me can make a big splash in Dazhou," Ma Gui said, "you need someone to help you. The rice farm business can start without the help of noble people..."

"You mean Weng Ke and Eunuch Hua?" Lin Fan interrupted Ma Gui, "The yamen asked about it. They make money from middle-class people. They are not familiar with you, let alone dealing with Xiliang spies. The people around the Second Highness, Mixed with Xiliang Xizuo, do you think, do I believe it?"

Stared at by Lin Fan's sharp eyes, Ma Gui could only stiffen his neck and shook his head.

He and those two people did only exchange money once or twice.

Ma Gui took them as pathfinding stones and took the opportunity to inquire about the news, but he had no intention of wooing them.

A relative of the state, a person close to the prince who is not in the limelight, dares to pull them into the enemy, and Ma Gui himself will fall into the mud first.

Therefore, he has no evidence at all to drag Zhongqinbo's mansion and the second prince into the water.

If you can't convince yourself, how can you convince Chi Yiwei.

Chiyiwei didn't believe it, so how did it spread to the imperial study room, making everyone in Dazhou jealous?
and many more……

Ma Gui had a flash of inspiration.

This time, he felt that he really realized it.

Biting the second prince is not feasible without evidence, and Chi Yiwei will not pull the second prince for no reason.

But what about biting other people?
What about biting the thorn in Chi Yiwei's side?
He has no evidence, Chi Yiwei is busy looking for evidence for him!
Ma Gui hurriedly said: "I have been in Dazhou for a few years, from the time I traveled all over the world to this day, I have never had anything wrong. I really don't know. I, Ma Gui, was unlucky and was targeted by your red guards, or someone else Sell ​​me and let you come to Charmi Village."

Seeing Lin Fan looking at him with a half-smile, Ma Gui continued, "In my opinion, don't you be a Taoist priest?"

"How do you say that?" Lin Fan asked.

Ma Gui was sure.

There was something in Lin Fan's words, and he really guessed it right.

If Chiyiwei didn't want to bite, Lin Fan would say "I'm not familiar with it, I don't believe it", and if Chiyiwei wanted to bite, he would let him talk about it in detail.

In fact, Ma Gui didn't know any Taoist priests, but he knew about the excitement at Ruyifang last year.

It was related to the return of the fierce Marquis of Yongning from Xiliang, Ma Guiduo inquired a little more, and learned that the Taoist priest was eventually designated as a spy.

As the spy chief, he disdains his colleagues very much.

If you work carefully, you need to hide in the dark. That Taoist is a fool. He danced in front of the brothers and sisters of the Qin family. Isn't he waiting to be arrested?
"Where is that Taoist now?" Ma Gui asked.

Lin Fan replied, "Deng Guoshi has brought him back for interrogation."

Ma Gui widened his eyes.

The Red Yiwei's credit for catching spies was taken by Deng Guoshi?

No, that person doesn't have to be a secret agent.

They are also Taoists, maybe one of them...

Ma Gui's mind was moving fast.

That guy Deng Guoshi, there are many courtiers who are dissatisfied with him in the Great Zhou court.

After Lin Fan's feats, would he think of a guy who pretends to be a ghost?

Eighty percent, Chi Yiwei wanted to take this opportunity to bite Deng Guoshi!

Ma Gui was ecstatic about his discovery.

Bite!

The harder the bite, the better!

Lin Xuan's son, leading his subordinates to bite the emperor's favorite minister, this is so wonderful!

At that time, how many people may be involved, and Da Zhou will be in chaos. He, the spy leader, muddyed the water and dripped blood before his death. This business is not a loss at all.

"That Niubi sold me?" Ma Gui exclaimed, "You idiot! I told him not to touch that brat from the Qin family. If he didn't listen, he must put some amulet on him. It's fine if he gets caught himself." It’s too late, and it’s also implicating me, it’s useless!”

Lin Fan leaned on the big case and looked at the excited Ma Gui.

The door was open, letting in the sunlight.

Someone came and blocked the light, Lin Fan couldn't help but look up.

Outside the door, officials from the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment stood in a row.

It happened that after hearing Ma Gui's scolding, several people looked at each other in dismay: "This..."

Lin Fan smiled lightly.

What a coincidence.

Just when Ma Gui dragged that Xu Taoist into the water, they all came.

According to the third division, when the emperor replied, the emperor could have less doubts.

Ma Gui also has martial arts skills, he can feel someone coming from outside.

Seeing Lin Fan's expression, Ma Gui continued to scold: "I said how I couldn't find that bull-nosed man recently. It turned out that he hid beside Deng Guoshi's shoes. Deng Guoshi fished him out, and he just shrank his head turtle?"

Lin Fan lowered his eyes and asked, "Isn't it good for you to say that about your colleagues?"

"Fart fellow! When I was a horse thief, he didn't know where to be my grandson!" Ma Gui cursed, "I have such a thing on the stall, and I can't tell if I cooperate with me! It’s not that bastard who betrayed me, my rice farms can be opened all over Dazhou! Now that I’m dead, he can’t even think about living well!”
