Chapter Thirteen The lazy days are over

Seeing Li Xiu insisting, Ma Ye did not persuade him again, and immediately ordered again: "Lao Qi, take my famous post to the Duke Peng's mansion and ask them to hand over all the people who committed the crime!"

"Here!" Lao Qi agreed again, and the horse ran away from flying on his body. From his appearance to now, he didn't even say a word of nonsense. His expression was always cold and handsome, cool and arrogant, which made Li Xiu a little doubt whether he was facial paralyzed?

"Uncle Ma, it's that simple that the other party will hand over the person?" Li Xiu said in surprise again. It was a bit too unexpected for a famous post. He originally thought that Mr. Ma would go to Wang Junkuo to question the crime himself.

"What else do you want? Wang Junkuo is not in Chang'an, and there are only some family members in the mansion. I can't come to the door. And such small things, at most, are instructed by the manager in his mansion. One of my famous posts is enough for them to hand over to someone." Ma Ye looked at Li Xiu and said, sometimes Li Xiu was so smart that it was outrageous, sometimes he knew nothing about some things, which made him more and more interested in Li Xiu.

"Wang Junkuo is not in Chang'an, so this matter was not instructed by him?" Li Xiu was stunned again when he heard this.

"Nonsense, no matter how stupid Wang Junkuo is, he is still a general. Only when he is full will he fall in love with your little profit? Moreover, since last year, Wang Junkuo has been fighting outside and has never returned to Chang'an at all, so this matter can only be done by the people in his mansion." When Ma Ye heard this, he gave Li Xiu a second glance and said.

"It makes sense, but it seems that I really wronged him just now." Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. The technique of producing bean sprouts was the foundation of their establishment this winter for him and the tenants in the village, but for people of Wang Junkuo, it was not worth mentioning at all, so it should be the people in his house who were instructed to grab the bean sprout business.

"It's a big deal. Boy, you have to remember that in Chang'an City, there are any kind of masters and slaves. Do you think that Wang Junkuo's slaves are so bold and forcing and robbing, and there is no intentional indulgence behind them?" Ma Ye snorted coldly at this time. No one knew better about the affairs of the powerful and powerful families than him.

Sure enough, an hour later, Lao Qi rode his horse back again. This time he was following a horse, and there were a fat man riding a fat man, and there were more than a dozen domestic slaves who were out of breath after the horse. After seeing Mr. Ma by the river, the fat man immediately rolled down from the horse, and then jogged in front of Mr. Ma with a fat man trembling all over his body and said respectfully: "The little man Wang Fu has seen Mr. Ma!"

Mr. Ma didn't even look at the other person at this time. After a while, he spoke: "Have you brought all the people who committed the crime?"

"Bring it, Ma Yerong. This matter is all about Manager Liu in the mansion who took a fancy to Douya's business, so he instructed someone to force him to rob. As the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, he knew nothing about this matter. He deserved to die. But please let Master Ma offend this time for the sake of my master!" The housekeeper Wang spoke with sweat on his head. The dust on his face was washed away by sweat, forming a series of ravines, which looked a little funny.

"I don't want to care about the affairs of your mansion, but if the people in our Princess' Mansion are touched, they will have to pay the corresponding price. Mr. Wang, please do whatever you want!" Mr. Ma said as he lifted the fishing rod leisurely, replaced the bait on the hook, and threw it into the water again, without any anger when he spoke. This pussy was pretending to be good, and Li Xiu had to give Ma Ma ten thousand praises in his heart.

When Mr. Ma asked him to do it, the sweat on Mr. Wang's head was getting faster because it showed that the other party did not intend to spare them easily. Moreover, if Mr. Ma was not satisfied with this matter, then Mr. Peng's mansion would offend the Ma in front of him. Speaking of which, Mr. Ma was on par with his own master. Logically speaking, there was no need to be afraid of him, but the key was that there was a Princess Pingyang behind the other party. Everyone knew that the princess trusted Mr. Ma the most, and offending him was offending the princess!

Thinking of this, Butler Wang finally bit his teeth, turned his head and winked at the people behind him. As a result, five or six of them immediately pulled out their sticks to attack the people around him. In the blink of an eye, all the remaining people were knocked to the ground, including Manager Liu who was pushed out by him. The rest were all the people who took action this morning. These people were beaten but dared not fight back because they were all Wang Junguo's slaves. If they dared to resist, the whole family would not want to live.

The beaten man cried in pain, but Ma Ye was indifferent, which made Butler Wang feel ruthless again, and finally ordered those who took action: "Discount my legs!"

Following the instructions of Butler Wang, the servants who took action agreed and their actions became even more ruthless and darker. With a few crisp sounds of fractures, all the legs of the beaten people were broken, which made them cry with their legs in their arms, and some even fainted from pain. Now Ma finally reacted and said without raising his head, "Okay, carry the person away, so as not to disturb me from fishing!"

"Yes~, the villain is leaving now!" Butler Wang was like a general amnesty when he heard Ma Master's words. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and immediately sent someone to drag the injured person away and soon disappeared on the official road.

The whole process was at most ten minutes, but Li Xiu was stunned. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that the struggles in the Tang Dynasty were so bloody, and he might break his hands and feet by accident. It seemed that he had really thought it was too simple before. If you want to live freely in the Tang Dynasty, you must at least have the capital to protect yourself. This capital can be official positions, force, relationships, fame, etc. For example, now that he has a relationship with Princess Pingyang's mansion, he must manage it well. If Princess Pingyang did not die so early, he would be a good backer.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu said goodbye to Mr. Ma, and went to Zhuangzi as soon as possible, and told him about asking Mr. Ma to teach those beating people a lesson. This made the tenants in the farm very happy. Boss Liu asked again whether he could continue selling bean sprouts. When Li Xiu received a positive answer, the man in the farm was so happy that he cried with joy. The next day, he ignored his injuries and brought several other tenants to the city with them. After all, they were all afraid of being poor. Now that they had such an opportunity to make money, they naturally had to hurry up. If they were delayed for a day, they would have to earn several cents of income. And after the beginning of spring, the business would not be completed.

Seeing the tenants working so hard, Li Xiu felt a little embarrassed, because since he had solved the problem of food and clothing, his daily life was just about eating and sleeping, or sitting there in a daze, thinking about his previous life, thinking about his future plans in the Tang Dynasty, etc. Compared with the tense and busy life in his previous life, his current life is simply outrageous.

However, Li Xiu's lazy days soon ended because he promised Ma Ye to cooperate with the matter of growing green vegetables in winter yesterday. Li Xiu originally thought of going to find Ma Ye again after a few days, but he didn't expect Ma Ye to be impatient. Early the next morning, he heard someone knocking outside before he woke up. When he opened the door, he saw Lao Qi's face with a paralyzed face, and then he heard the other party say dryly: "Ma Ye, please come over!"

Li Xiu didn't even eat breakfast at this time, but he promised the other party that he had no choice but to follow Xiaoqi away from home. This time he didn't go to the side of Huangqu, but to Princess Pingyang's manor. Speaking of which, Li Xiu and the other party were neighbors, but had never seen what the princess' manor looked like, because the place where both parties lived was separated by a forest. When Li Xiu walked around a forest along Huangqu, he finally saw a large-scale manor in front of him, and there were many villages in the distance, all of which were the tenants of Princess Pingyang.

It's so annoying that people are so popular. Looking at the manor of Princess Pingyang in front of him, Li Xiu realized that the place where he lives is simply the difference between a small earthen house and a skyscraper compared to the large-scale building complex in front of him. Moreover, looking at the tenants of others, they actually formed several farms, each of which has no less than a hundred households, but there is only a small farm with five families, and they are all people. This is too big, right?

The princess's manor was built on the north bank of the yellow canal. In front of it was the rushing yellow canal. There was also a small river on the left. Strong stone bridges were built on both rivers. This made Li Xiu secretly swear in his heart that when he had money in the future, he would also build a larger manor, and a solid stone bridge on the river in front of him, so that he would look grand.

When he crossed the bridge and entered the manor, he immediately saw Mr. Ma practicing stone locks in the yard with Uncle Ma. A large stone lock of hundreds of pounds was thrown up like a toy in his hand. Li Xiu was also very curious about this novel morning exercise method, but he did not dare to go forward. What if the other party accidentally hit him? So he obediently hid beside the stone table. The key was that there was snacks on the table. He didn't be polite to the other party, stuffed it into his mouth and put it on his stomach before talking.

Half an hour later, Ma Master finally put down the stone lock with sweat, and while wiping his face, he came to Li Xiu and said, "Nephew, I'm asking you to come here for nothing today. I just want to ask you to build a greenhouse you mentioned as soon as possible so that all the flowers and plants raised by the princess have been moved into the house. Since the weather became cold, these flowers and plants have been moved into the house, but after a long time, some are still unemployed, and some have even begun to wither, so you have to hurry up!"

Seeing Ma Master approaching, Li Xiu couldn't help but take two steps back. It was really the smell of sweat on the other party. When Li Xiu heard Ma Master come to him early in the morning just to build a flower room for the princess, he couldn't help feeling helpless. He even suspected that the reason why Ma Master agreed to cooperate yesterday was probably because he was attracted by the reason why he could grow flowers and plants in the greenhouse. As for making money, it was just a side.

"Uncle Ma, when do you hope to build a greenhouse?" Li Xiu asked after thinking about it.

"Of course, the faster the better. How about three days?" Ma Ye said tentatively. In fact, he felt that three days were too tight, and Li Xiu would definitely not agree.

But what happened to Ma Ye, Li Xiu nodded when he heard this and said, "No problem, but you have to promise me a few conditions. As long as you can do it, you will definitely build a greenhouse for you in three days."
