Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 233 Purpose Familiarization
Seeing his daughter, Ma Qifeng's trembling body got better: "Min'er, Yue'er has been gone for a day and a night..."

"Father, don't worry, Zian has already sent people to look for him, and he has already found some clues." Ma Min'er comforted him, pulled him to sit on the bench, brought him tea, and let him drink a glass of water.

Ma Qifeng finished his drink in one gulp, and looked up at his son-in-law, "Zian, when can...you find Yue'er?"

"Father, don't worry, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible." Xia Zhen turned her head and said, "Min'er, I will go to King Yancheng County and make an agreement with him. You stay here."

Ma Min'er nodded, "Well, okay, then hurry up."

Xia Zhen led his men out of Ma's house quickly, and just turned to the street, when they met Liu Zaili, the two sat on horseback and arched each other without making any greetings, "You know me better than me in the city, I'll go outside the city."

Hearing Xia Zhen's division of labor, Liu Zaili grinned lightly, "Have you found out where the thief is hiding outside the city?"

"Yes!" Xia Zhen did not deny it.

"It's said that you are living outside the capital city and living a life like a paradise in Xicaogou, isn't that true!" Liu Zaili narrowed his eyes slightly, which meant a lot.

Xia Zhen looked indifferent. If it hadn't been for the former thieves, he wouldn't have had much to say to him, "I'm not a pure-hearted Taoist priest." After speaking, he raised his hand, pulled the rein and reined in his horse and left.

Liu Zaili squinted at his back and remained motionless until his subordinates gently urged: "Master, we..."

"Go to Yazhuxuan!"

"Yes, sir!"

When Feng Jiangyi arrived home, Fu Yin Wei had been waiting all morning, and when he saw him hurried forward, "My lord..."

He stretched out his hand: "to the study."

"Yes, my lord!"

The two quickly arrived at the study, the boy closed the door, and there were only two of them in the study: "My lord..."

"Tell me the ins and outs of the matter."

"Yes, my lord!" Master Wei said the matter in short words: "Master Feng's friend Zhai Rang invited him to a medium-sized restaurant for dinner. During the meal, he called the ditty singer. For some reason, the ditty singer broke down. Yin, my lord didn't say anything, the person surnamed Zhai stepped forward and kicked the person who sang the ditty song. The person who sang the ditty song had accompaniment. Zhai was drunk and didn't listen, so the adults stepped forward to dissuade him, but for some reason, the accompanist died, the waiter Xiaoer screamed in shock, and the whole restaurant surrounded him..."

"So the situation became that my son Zhiping killed the accompanist?"

"Yes, my lord."

"This is clearly a situation." Feng Jiangyi worried, his tax reform has touched the interests of too many people, and these people don't want him to have an easy time!
"My lord, if Master Feng is to be safe now, the key is the singer, the waiter, and the one with the surname Zhai, especially the one with the surname Zhai."

Feng Jiangyi said: "I know a little about the surname Zhai. His ancestors are from Fuzhou. Although the Zhai family is rich in the capital, they have little official positions and have not been able to support the noble circle. I heard from Zhiping that his friend Zhai Rang returned to his ancestral home a few years ago. Dealing with ancestral property, I haven't heard about his return to the capital recently, but I didn't expect to hear about him again, it was..."

"My lord, do you want me to ask the subordinate officials to check..."

"You don't want to go."

"My lord..."

Feng Jiangyi said: "I will find someone. Don't let others take advantage of what you are going to do now."

"Boss, are you worried that someone will attack me?"

Feng Jiangyi nodded, "Those people understand about my son Zhiping. If my son is used to win friends, no matter whether it causes him to kill by accident or intentionally, it is untenable without real evidence. My son will come out in the end. But their goal has been achieved, and my son Zhiping's reputation and virtue have been damaged."

"Boss, they are so vicious."

"The pure knife kills people, this is the first knife. Although it can be released in the end, we still have to work hard for the witnesses. If they accidentally let them take advantage of the loophole, then my son will not be hurt by their pure knife."

"My lord, those who are closest to me have been detained by me."

"Okay." Feng Jiangyi said: "Even if the case has been transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the most basic file must be based on the Jingzhao Mansion's. We must take care of this."

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate knows what to do."

Feng Jiangyi said: "I will enter the palace to face the saint in a moment."

"Okay, my lord, the student hastened to go back and investigate matters related to this case."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Daojun!"

Wei Daojun said: "My lord, what are you talking about, if it weren't for the lord's kindness to the subordinates, how could the students have achieved today."

Feng Jiangyi nodded: "Come here, change my clothes, I want to enter the palace."

"Yes, my lord."

It was dawn, and through the light from the crack in the wall, Ma Yue'er finally saw the general appearance of the room, no, it didn't look like a room at all, it was like the prison she lived in when she was a child, it was dark and damp, and there were mice...

Before Ma Yue'er could yell out, she heard the yelling from the next door, "Ah... ah... there are mice... there are mice..."

There was a "bang", as if the door was broken and kicked open, "What's it called, I'm in a better mood if I didn't feed you a dead mouse, how dare you call it?"

"Master, I'm going to kill you..." Liu Zaicheng was kicked to the ground just after he finished shouting, and someone stepped on his back, "Ah... ah..."

"Kill me? I'll kill you first."

"Ahh..." Liu Zaicheng cried out in pain.

Someone at the door called: "Fourth brother, come up."

"Oh, come on."

The beating man stepped up the stone steps, "Why don't you let me beat you, I'll kill you."

"Don't make too much noise, bear with it for now, and wait for the boss to come over before killing people."

"Where is the boss?"

"It's leading people to this place."

"Oh."

Ma Yue'er felt that the person next door had left, so she quickly moved to the wall, and softly called, "Little prince..."

When Liu Zaicheng heard the little lady call him, he held back the pain, and put his ear to the wall happily, "Yue'er, how are you doing, did someone beat you?"

"I didn't bark when I saw the mice, they didn't hit me."

"..." I am not as good as a little lady, Liu Zaicheng slammed his head against the wall in shame, "Oh..."

"Hey, little lord, what's the matter with you?" In the midst of danger, the person who usually disliked her became friendly at this moment, and Ma Yue'er became worried unconsciously.

"No...it's nothing..." Liu Zaicheng didn't dare to express it even though the bump made tears come out, he straightened his body and made himself a man.

Ma Yue'er sighed, "I was very touched when I heard you said that you came to save me. Although you said that you met me by chance, I still want to thank you..."

"No...you're welcome, who made us friends?"

"You are friends with my second sister, but not mine!"

"Hee hee..." The trick almost failed, Liu Zaicheng was embarrassed, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied up, and he wanted to scratch his head with his hands, but it didn't work.

Thinking back, when Liu Zaicheng came to Ma's house as a guest in the past, Ma Yue'er didn't give him a good impression because he thought he was a dude, but now, she was really moved when he risked his life to save him, "Yes... …sorry!"

"Ah..." Liu Zaicheng was thinking about how to become a man, but when he heard the words from the partition wall, he couldn't figure it out, "Why are you sorry?"

"Before... when you came to our house as a guest, I... my attitude was not very good, please don't mind."

"That... that, I don't think your attitude is bad!"

I actually met a fool, with such a bad attitude, he actually said no, well, if you say no, there is no, Ma Yueer breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, my second sister and second brother-in-law will definitely come to rescue mine."

"My family will come to rescue me too, don't worry, we will go out together then."

"it is good."

-

The doorman of Yazhuxuan just wanted to go forward to meet people, but was stopped by Liu Zaicheng, the guards behind him quickly stepped forward to a group of people, and quickly entered the inside, and after a while, they framed the singer Mei Ruoer to him.

Liu Zaili unexpectedly came down, lowered his eyes and said, "Lead the way!"

"Take...what way?" Mei Ruoer was still pretending to be stupid.

"Hmph!" Liu Zaili slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it just for this moment that I'm trying to get close to me?"

Mei Ruoer turned her face away.

Liu Zaili's eyes were cold, "Lead the way."

Mei Ruo'er bit her lip and lowered her head, with a look of swearing to die.

"Then go to the big prison to pay for the torture tools. I think those will make you talk."

Mei Ruoer raised her eyes suddenly, "You..."

-

Unknowingly, it was past noon, but the Ma family sat in the main hall, silently waiting for the news to come back. Ma Min'er looked at her father who was so anxious that his mouth had flares, and brought him another glass of water, " Dad, drink a glass of water."

"I can't drink it." Ma Qifeng pushed away the water glass.

"Father, don't worry, Zian will definitely bring Yue'er back."

"I... I believe in Zian!" Ma Qifeng was exhausted physically and mentally, and tried to hold back his strength.

Ma Min'er put down the water glass, and said to Mo Wanyi: "Aunt Wan, we adults are fine, but Xiao Wu can't go hungry, you can take Xiao Wu to eat some."

Mo Wanyi looked at her husband.

Ma Qifeng waved his hands, "Take the child."

"Okay." Mo Wanyi picked up Xiao Wu and went to the kitchen.

Ma Min'er picked up the water glass again, "Father, I can't eat, so drink some water."

Ma Qifeng couldn't push it, so he had to drink a glass of water, "It's all my fault, let Yue'er go out alone, and let the thief take advantage of the loophole."

"Father, how can I blame you for this? Things will always happen, and they can't be stopped."

"No, no, you don't know, I asked the old coachman, and the coachman said that Yue'er was going out to visit her mother's grave."

"..." Ma Min'er pursed her lips subconsciously. Her daughter, who came halfway, had never kissed this mother's grave alone.

Seeing the eldest daughter lower her head, Ma Qifeng patted her hands, "It's my father's fault, I forgot about your mother."

"Father, don't say that, I don't think Yue'er means that at all, maybe, she just misses mother, wants to talk to mother alone, wants to tell her that we are all doing well, so that her spirit in heaven can rest assured. "

Ma Qifeng's eyes were red, "Father knows, father knows!"

-

In the palace, Feng Jiangyi had already stood in front of Emperor Yuantai, and he asked leisurely, "I heard you went to Xicaogou?"

"Yes, my lord."

"How's the view there?"

"It's not bad. The old minister wants to play for two more days. I never thought..."

Emperor Yuantai reached out and took the paperwork on the dragon case, "Murder by mistake!"

"My lord, there is absolutely no way my son will accidentally kill someone."

Emperor Yuantai narrowed his eyes slightly, "I remember that Mrs. Ma's eldest son also accidentally killed an actor while drinking in a restaurant, and was punished by the first emperor."

"My lord..." Feng Jiangyi knelt down with both legs together, "I guarantee my life, my son will never kill someone."

"With my life..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister resigns from all positions immediately, and waits for my son to be found not guilty." Feng Jiangyi bowed to the ground.

Emperor Yuantai narrowed his sharp eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the old minister dare not, but as a father, he is worried about his son."

"Worried about your son?" Emperor Yuan Tai murmured.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Feng Jiangyi looked up, "Although I'm not talented, I know that 'self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace' comes first of all, and my son's talent is stupid, but he has always followed my teachings to cultivate himself and cultivate his character. would do immoral things."

Emperor Yuantai narrowed his eyes, "Well, I also believe in the character of the boss, and I will never educate people who are unethical. How about this, I will let the three justices jointly try this case, and I will return the wind to be fair."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Zhiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Ministry of Justice does not dominate, then although things are troublesome, they can restrain each other, and my son is safe for the time being, so... How can I fight back against these guys?

-

Xia Zhen led his subordinates to the west of the city, Gu Dun frowned, "My lord, why is this place so familiar?"

Xia Zhen turned her head, "Of course I'm familiar with it!" His little daughter-in-law was dragged to this hill by Liu Zaili once, his eyes were cold, and now the little sister-in-law's sister was imprisoned here again by thieves. Mountain impulse.

"Come here, search the mountains according to this picture."

"Yes, my lord.!"

-

In a cabin in Xicaogou, Master Fakong sent away Ma Chengzu who was playing chess with him, and when he returned to the house, the boy brought him a glass of water, "Master, the King of Beijun has rescued someone, right?"

"Maybe!"

The little boy asked: "Master, did you say that those thieves who chased us away would be killed by the King of Beijun?"

"Amitabha, there is reincarnation in the world, good and evil will finally be rewarded!"

"Master, when shall we go back to Xiaoshan Temple?"

Fakong didn't answer Xiaotong's words, but turned his head to look at the small hill not far away, "Perhaps, we should move the small mountain temple here."

"Master, there are villages at the foot of the hill, don't you think it's noisy?"

"Master, I like the fireworks here."

"Master, I like it too."

-

Liu Zaicheng wanted to talk to Ma Yue'er, but he was so hungry that he had to shut up. He just called out after a while, "Yue'er..." After hearing her response, he rested with peace of mind.

As the light in the dark and damp room became darker and darker, Ma Yue'er's sense of fear came up again, and she shouted in a weak voice: "Little prince, it's getting dark again, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid...don't be afraid...I'm..."

"I don't know when the second sister will come to save us..."

"Hurry up, really believe me..." As soon as Liu Zaicheng finished speaking, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, as well as the sound of knives and guns, "Yue'er, Yue'er, the person who saved us has come."

"Little..." Before Ma Yue'er finished speaking, she was pushed out of the room and dragged up the steps. It turned out that they were locked in the basement.

When she got to the ground, there was a lot of fighting on the ground, and there were countless casualties on the ground. She was about to look for the figures of her relatives, but she was pushed in front of the people, "Xia, this is your sister-in-law. If you don't let them back down, I will kill you immediately!" kill her."

Xia Zhen was killing the enemy. Hearing the sound, he suddenly turned around and put away the knife. Looking at the opposite side, Gu Dun and the others raised the torch to his side. He clearly saw his sister-in-law being held around the neck by the thief's knife.
