Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 317: The word official has two words, and there are repeated misfortunes and blessings.

Over there, Ma Ji arrived at Zong Zimei's mansion and sat down in the flower hall with Zong Zimei, Ning Caichen and Wang Shixiu.

Zong Zimei's concubines Tang Heng and Dian Dang personally served tea to the guests.

After everyone chatted for a few words, they suddenly heard a scream outside, and five white balls, one large, four small, and small rolled in. They threw themselves at Dandang's feet and transformed into one large, four small, and five gray-white foxes.

Diandang's face changed slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The big fox among them squeaked several times.

But Dian Dang understood, and turned to Tang Heng and said: "Madam, the five of them, mother and son, were staying at Dong Shidu's house not far away. They were just expelled by a Taoist priest invited by Dong Shidu. Unexpectedly, they just left, and Dong Shidu The Du family died unexpectedly, and the Taoist priest insisted that they were the victims and chased them all the way to our home."

Tang Heng was lost in thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I already know, it's not a big deal."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiao Jiao had already landed in the courtyard with his sword, pointed at the sword, and shouted sternly: "Pindao also said how could these inexperienced fox monsters have such courage and means. It turns out that the culprit behind the scenes is here!"

Zong Zimei's expression changed. He stood up and stopped in front of Dian Dang. He cupped his hands to Jiao Chan and said, "This Taoist priest is so unreasonable. I was just sitting around at home when these five foxes suddenly broke in. Taoist priest Wu How can you say that my concubine is the culprit without any evidence?"

A cold light flashed across, as fast as lightning.

Jiao Chan suddenly sneered: "Report to the official? Then why not just report to the official!"

Zong Zimei was shocked, and quickly glanced at Ma Ji and the others. He saw that Ning Caichen and Wang Shixiu only looked surprised, but not at all disgusted or fearful. Ma Ji looked as usual, as if he didn't care, so he felt a little relieved. Come and angrily say to Jiao He: "What a fox demon, that's nonsense. You leave immediately, otherwise I will report it to the official immediately and punish you for being good at private houses!"

The other dozens of embroidered guards responded together and were about to break into the flower hall to get someone.

Ma Ji sneered and touched something in his sleeve with his right hand. When he was about to take it out, he suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped moving again.

Wu Kexie's face changed color slightly, and he shouted: "I have been ordered to carry out an errand. Who are you? Do you dare to act so arrogantly without fear of the strict laws of the country?"

Then he took out a token from his sleeve, held it in his palm, and shouted: "I, Jiao Jie, am the fourth rank of the Xiuyi Guards. I am here to capture the fox demon who killed the imperial official and all the people involved. If there is anyone who obstructs the handling of the case, the imperial power will Franchise, kill first and report later!”

He took a step forward with his hand on the handle of the knife, looked at the faces of everyone in the flower hall and shouted: "I, Wu Kexie, the embroidered guard of Qianhu, was ordered to assist Taoist Jiao Jian in capturing the fox demons, and shelter these fox demons." Take down all their accomplices!”

A small black handleless sword as wide as a leek leaf and only three inches long was suspended at the entrance of the flower hall. The tip of the sword was pointed at a group of embroidered guards. The dense sword aura emanating from it sent chills to the bones of everyone.

Jiao Ji said angrily: "You are so lustful that you are blind, how could you know that your concubine is a fox demon who is the best at seducing people's souls? If you had not met Pindao today, sooner or later you would have followed in the footsteps of Dong Shidu's family."

"Here!"

This sentence was like a signal, and figures appeared on the surrounding walls. They flew into the courtyard and formed an array behind Jiao Jie. They were all wearing flying fish clothes and carrying three-foot horizontal swords. They were all in embroidered guard uniforms. The leader was exactly Wu Kexie embroidered clothes and guarded thousands of households.

The embroidered guards felt a lightness on their heads at the same time, and something rolled down from their heads and landed at their feet. It was the red tassel on the top of the big hats they were wearing.

Ma Ji walked to Zong Zimei, looked at the people outside the hall, and clapped softly: "The fox demon is causing trouble, the Taoist priest is doing it, the official is killed, and the embroidered guard is chasing the murderer. It is indeed a good story and a good design, all linked together. It’s perfect. But I don’t know why you put so much effort into it. If Prince Rui is a thousand years old, this would be a bit of a joke... Could it be that Prince Rui is just fooling around?”

The Jiao Borer on the opposite side seemed to be feeling it too, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

A sneer came from outside the wall: "I would like to know whose order Wu Qianhu acted like today, and which country's laws and regulations did he follow?"

Following these words, another group of embroidered guards appeared from the four walls and descended, surrounding Jiao Jian, Wu Kexie and others. Two embroidered guards opened the courtyard door, and a tall, majestic middle-aged man walked in like a dragon or a tiger.

What he was wearing was a red and yellow python robe, with a jade belt across his waist.

This is the highest-level uniform color among the embroidered guards. It is specially gifted by the emperor and symbolizes the supreme honor.

Wu Kexie's expression changed greatly, and he prostrated himself on the ground from a distance, his body trembling: "Wu Kexie, a humble official, pays homage to the commander!"

The embroidered guards who followed him knelt on the ground, all of them were frightened and despairing.

The person who came was none other than Xin Jing, the commander of the leader Xiu Yiwei who monitored the government and the public.

He didn't even look at Wu Kexie and others on the ground. He looked at the ugly looking Jiao Jian and said, "Why did the Taoist come to this muddy water?"

Jiao Chan said expressionlessly: "What do you mean, Mr. Xin? I was just invited to exorcise demons. It just happened to be a meeting."

Xin Jing's eyes showed sarcasm: "What the Taoist priest can't tell is that I have inspected the corpses of Dong Shidu's family. All the essence and blood in their bodies have been sucked dry. How can there be any five untransformed fox monsters in the flower hall?" This kind of method? It's the ancient insect 'Scorch Borer' raised by the Taoist priest..."

As soon as the word "Jiao Chan" came out, Taoist Jiao Chan could no longer maintain his composure and jumped straight into the sky without saying a word.

His cultivation has reached the level of fourth-level Taoist possession, and the Yin Shen is powerful enough to drive the body to fly and disappear.

Xin Jing made no move, and the sarcasm on his face grew stronger.

Just as Jiao Chan's body entered the sky, the sky suddenly became distorted and turned into a huge ink painting, and Jiao Chan suddenly became the person in the painting.

The scroll fell down, getting smaller and smaller, and finally became the size of a normal drawing paper. It fell into the hands of a person who appeared beside Xin Jing out of thin air. It was Lang Yuzhu, one of the four major enshrinees of the "Huntian Supervisory Yuan", the "Wonderful Painter".

Lang Yuzhu rolled the drawing paper into a roll and sent it to Xin Jing, and said calmly: "Master Xin, fortunately you have not insulted your fate."

Xin Jing first gave a solemn salute to Lang Yuzhu and said, "Lao Lang worships you", and then stretched out his hands to take the scroll.

Then he waved his hand and ordered: "Take it!"

"Here!"

The embroidered guards he brought with him responded with a shout, rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and captured Wu Kexie and others who did not dare to resist at all and put them in shackles.

Xin Jing took a few steps closer to the flower hall, an amiable smile appeared on his powerful face, and asked: "I wonder which one is the eldest son and the beautiful young master?"

Seeing the changing situation in front of him, the eldest son seemed to be in a fog. When he was asked, he still didn't react. It wasn't until his wife Tang Heng gave him a gentle push behind him that he woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly walked out and held his hands and said: "My lord, Being born late is Zong Zimei.”

Xin Jing took a step forward, raised his hands to support Zong Zimei's arms, preventing him from bending down, and said with a smile: "This time there is an unscrupulous person in my embroidery guard, who disturbed the young master and his family. Later, I will definitely explain this matter to you, you just need to listen to the news."

When Ma Ji saw that this powerful minister of the emperor, who was in charge of the embroidered clothes guard, was so humble and polite in front of Zong Zimei, he couldn't help but think of Li Hui's vague disdain for Zong Zimei these days, and he made a very absurd guess in his mind. : "Brother Zhimei, could he be His Majesty's long-lost son?"
