wealthy lord

Chapter 291 Taking orders in times of danger
  The speaker was Ma Ji's domestic slave, an old man who had been with him for more than ten years.

Therefore, Ma Ji was very relieved about him.

Ma Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then strode out of the house.

At the same time, some thoughts came to his mind. He knew that Lin Yun was going to Haocheng with such a big fanfare, but he also expected that Lin Yun would bring him good news.

When he looked outside the gate, he saw Lin Yun riding on horseback, with more than a hundred officers and soldiers behind him.

Next to Lin Yun, there was a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament. Ma Ji recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man was Qi Rui, the commander of the Ouchi guards, and his breathing became rapid.

He understood that if Qi Rui, as an official of the imperial court, could come in person, there must be something big to do.

Ma Ji stepped forward, bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Lin and Commander Qi!!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, you're welcome! Do you know why I'm looking for you this time?"

Ma Ji grinned, but did not dare to speak nonsense. Although he had a guess in his heart, he had not heard it with his own ears, so he could not talk nonsense. If he was wrong, it would be a small shame and bring trouble to Lin Yun, which would be the truth.

At this time, Qi Rui saw Lin Yun turning his head and staring at him with a smile, so he took out the documents he had prepared in his arms.

He said in a deep voice: "Ma Ji listens to the order!!"

Ma Ji was ecstatic, and this time he knelt on the ground and knocked his head heavily on the ground.

Although he was not meeting the emperor, what happened next was the biggest turning point in his life.

Qi Rui was very satisfied with his attitude and said loudly: "According to the imperial edict of the Emperor, Ma Ji, the general manager of Yucheng's Internal Affairs Office, has good moral character and works hard without complaint. He is very popular with me. I have been specially promoted to the governor of Haocheng. I hope he can treat the people well. I will not Thanks to my heart, I appreciate this!!"

Ma Ji knelt on the ground, listening to the announcement, his eyes widened.

He didn't expect that his promotion would actually alarm the emperor. When he thought about it all being arranged by Lin Yun, he was even more shocked.

He kowtowed quickly and said: "I will accept the order from you! I will never disappoint the Holy One!"

At this point, Qi Rui put away the document in his hand. Ma Ji stood up, stepped forward respectfully, and took the document with both hands, with a pious look on his face.

On the side, Lin Yun also looked surprised.

He did not expect that Cui Mingchong would directly alert the emperor.

However, in this way, I am afraid that I will be exposed in the eyes of the emperor.

This left Lin Yun speechless for a moment, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He originally planned to develop in silence, not letting anyone know the information about him except for a limited number of people.

But now it seems that Cui Mingchong didn't hold back.

At this time, Qi Rui looked at Lin Yun meaningfully and said with a smile: "Master Lin, the person you arranged, Mr. Cui, has already done it, why are you unhappy?"

Lin Yun forced a smile and said: "Of course I am happy, but... I didn't expect that it would alarm the Holy Master! Did Mr. Cui even tell the emperor more about it?"

"Does Mr. Lin think that the emperor will agree without saying anything? Today's Holy Emperor is a wise king, and he is also a thoughtful person! What's more, these matters of Mr. Lin cannot be hidden from the investigation of interested people! This extra There is no way that two hundred thousand kilograms of grain has no provenance, so Master Cui must have an explanation, right?"

Looking at Qi Rui who was smiling but not smiling, Lin Yun cursed in his heart.

It is certain that Cui Mingchong did this deliberately, just to beat himself up and show him this favor.

How could Lin Yun not understand? He nodded and smiled and said: "Ma Ji, this road has been paved for you. How you go next depends on your own ability! Don't let us who paved the way down." ah!"

Ma Ji nodded quickly. He could not be appreciated by the Holy One without Lin Yun's help.

As the saying goes, water has a source, and trees have roots. He was grateful to the emperor for his great kindness, but he also wanted to thank Lin Yun for his cultivation.

If it weren't for Lin Yun, he would have been stuck in Yucheng for the rest of his life. Even in a few years, when he gets old or fails to do his errands, Qiu Guangri may liquidate him.

After all, Ma Ji knows a lot of the secrets of Qiuguang Day. When that day comes, his end is destined to be bad.

"Young Master and Mr. Qi, please rest assured, I am not that kind of ungrateful person!"

Ma Ji could only express his position in this way. There were some things he couldn't say too much, but he also couldn't say nothing at all.

Lin Yun nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go back and make preparations. Let's go to Yucheng now to solve this disaster!"

Ma Ji greeted them both with fists in their hands, and then turned around and went back home.

At this time, Lin Yun looked at Qi Rui again and asked, "Commander Qi, does Mr. Cui have anything to say that you can bring to me?"

Qi Rui smiled slightly. He knew that Lin Yun seemed to be indifferent now, but in fact his heart must be in a mess. He said, "Yes! However, I plan to tell Mr. Lin when I plan to return to Beijing to resume my life!"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Commander Qi just said it's okay!" We are not considered outsiders now! '

"That's right. Mr. Cui asked me to tell you that since you have done it, you must show off! The court is very optimistic about you now! I hope you can do this well! Give me a good start for the Daduan Dynasty!"

Qi Rui laughed while talking, with an expression that really deserved a beating.

Lin Yun's teeth itched at the sight, but he could only hide this emotion in his heart.

Of course, he understood that when Qi Rui said making a show, he must be referring to the feudal lord Lin family.

Cui Mingchong knew that he would fight against the Lin family of the feudal lord in the future.

And this is exactly what the court wanted to do but failed to do.

Because there are no excuses.

All the thirty-six feudal kings of the Daduan Dynasty were as cunning as foxes.

They also all knew that the imperial court wanted to reduce the vassal status.

Therefore, the court was not given a chance to take action at all.

They will do a good job in almost every matter involving the court.

But Lin Yun's sudden appearance gave the court hope.

It is said that a single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as Lin Yun can completely ignite the pile of dry firewood of the lord Lin family, when the time comes, they will cooperate internally and externally, and they will definitely make the lord Lin family suffer.

Even if the vassal cannot be completely eliminated, it can still greatly weaken the Lin family.

One thing is going down, the other is going down, and within a few years, the Lin family will be destroyed.

At that time, with lessons learned from the past, there will be ways to deal with other feudal kings.

Therefore, the reason why the emperor is willing to cooperate with Lin Yun and promote Ma Ji is completely profitable.

Lin Yun understood the logic behind this, but he was also nervous.

He is also worried that one day, it will end up like a rabbit dying and a dog cooking a bird, and all the bows will be hidden.

You know, the most ruthless emperor's family, the king will do anything to stabilize the country.

At this time, Qi Rui looked at Lin Yun who was deep in thought and said with a smile: "Master Lin, why are you keeping such a face? Are you unwilling to serve my court?"

This was the first time he had seen Lin Yun showing cowardice since he had been dealing with Lin Yun, so he seized the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Lin Yun.
