Chapter 433 Knocking on the door in the middle of the night

Once Ma Weishan decides to do something, he is really decisive and immediately bid farewell to Yang Ze. He wants to go home and write a memorial to sue Dugu Baoqiao. Not only do he have to say how guilty Dugu Baoqiao is, but he also has to report to the Queen Dugu. He had long seen that Dugu Baoqiao is a bastard. Now that the case has come out, it proves his point of view!

Yang Ze personally sent Ma Weishan out of the yamen. Looking at Jingzhao Yin Yuanli's back, he thought to himself: "If this Ma Master woke up later and knew that he had been fooled, would he eat me? Even if he didn't eat me and bite me, I wouldn't be able to stand it!"

It happened that at this moment, Ma Chengxian came over and said till hell: "County Master, what is my uncle coming to you for? Is it a business?"

Yang Ze turned his head and looked at him, saying, "If it is not a business, can it still be a private matter? If you don't come to me to talk about official affairs, but you are talking about your private matter? You really know how to think about it!"

After being scolded as a dog's head, Ma Chengxian's face turned green. It seems that the county priest has a bad temper now, so he actually vented himself. This article was first published by... He said carefully: "But what trouble does the county priest have? I am willing to serve and relieve the worries of the county priest!"

He had long seen that as long as he ran errands for Yang Ze, there would be benefits. He was not a person with lofty ambitions. Of course, he often talked about his ambitions, but deep down he was just a person who hoped to make a profit. As long as there was benefits, it would be nothing to be loyal to Yang Ze. Not to mention being called a dog's head, even a real dog, what if it could be? The ministers in the court often told the Queen Dugu that the weak ministers were willing to work hard for the sake of a dog or a horse? Then they were both dogs and horses!

Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "There is really something you want to do. If it is done well, it will be handed over to you more important things in the future. If it is not done well, it will be hard to say in the future. The opportunity for promotion and wealth will be given to you. Even if I give it to others, I will not give it to you!"

Ma Chengxian was overjoyed. He was not afraid of difficulties, but was afraid of nothing to do! He nodded repeatedly and must do his best!

Yang Ze said: "When it gets dark, you go out, go out from the back door of our yamen, and then go to your uncle's place. After entering the mansion, sit in the door for a quarter of an hour. Then come out again. Remember to look around and before entering the door, do you understand?"

Ma Chengxian was very puzzled. Why was this? He asked: "Does the county priest have something to bring to his uncle?" If there is something, why didn't you just say it, and you still have to go there in the middle of the night? This is really strange!

Yang Ze shook his head and said, "This matter is very important, so you can't tell you clearly for the time being. It's not that you want you to see your uncle, but just go to the gatehouse to sit for a while. And after you come out, go to the Shangshu Ling's mansion and sit in the gatehouse for a while. You just want to see the butler. Don't worry, the butler won't see you."

Ma Chengxian was really confused by the manuscript. Why did he go to the concierge in Shangshuling Mansion for a while? Could it be that the county master wanted to meet the concierge? Could it be that the concierge had a beautiful daughter, but he was missed by the county master?

Yang Ze said again: "Remember to look around before going out and entering. Then, you go to the mansion of Lord Song, the Imperial College Priest, and the same is true. Sit in the doorman for a while."

Ma Chengxian was shocked. The Imperial College Jade also had a beautiful daughter at the house of the Imperial College Jade? Ah, I was wrong. Is it because the concierge of the Imperial College Jade also had a beautiful daughter?

Ma Chengxian opened his mouth wide and was inexplicably surprised. With his wisdom, he could only think of these things. He was the top-level person who could not imagine. Who made him live in the market before? He had money and could not think of anything else!

Yang Ze narrowed his eyes and then said, "Then, you go to the Zhongshu Ling's mansion again, and the same is true. After you come out, go to the Prime Minister's mansion again, and do the same. Finally, you come back and stand in front of the eldest princess's mansion for a moment. Before leaving, spit on your mouth and then go back to the county government!"

Ma Chengxian was stupid. Why is that? You have to give a reason. If he spitted at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion and was beaten by the guards at the gate, would the county master have to pay some medicine?

After Yang Ze said this, he waved his hand and signaled Ma Chengxian to do it. He walked into the yamen and finally reminded him: "You must do your business well. This is the test of me. I will send someone to follow you to see if you have done your business seriously. If you can't do such a small thing well, then what else can you do!"

He went back to the back house and went to rest. Of course, he would not send someone to follow Ma Chengxian, but just scared him and let him do his job well.

Anyway, as long as Ma Chengxian makes such a struggle, he will definitely be targeted. At that time, he will be considered that he has sent people to join forces and has attracted many important officials in the court. By tomorrow morning, when Ma Weishan complains to Queen Dugu, everything will be done. Maybe there will be fences and follow them. This is called creating momentum. As long as the momentum comes, the matter will be easy to deal with.

Ma Chengxian agreed repeatedly, but was really embarrassed. With his cheeky skin, no matter who he went to, he would not feel embarrassed if he sat in the doorman for a while. But at the last point, he had to spit in front of the eldest princess's mansion. This was really beyond his courage. He had never done such a life-deserving thing in his life since he was a child!

But since it is a test, it must be done, otherwise he will be regarded as a waste. If he becomes a waste, then he will never think about development again. He still has a great sense of expectation for the word "development".

After stomping his feet, Ma Chengxian went to the street to find a small restaurant. He ordered two kilograms of white wine, and drank them all with some sauce meat and fennel beans to give himself courage!

After drinking, he returned to his residence. When the moon was on the branches, he left the county government office through the back door. He first looked around and then walked towards his uncle Ma Weishan's mansion.

Halfway through, he really felt that there was more than one person following him, and he felt even more nervous. It seemed that the county magistrate was indeed sending someone to monitor him, which was a test of himself!

In fact, although there are indeed people following him, they are definitely not from Yang Ze. Yang Ze is now in the limelight in Beijing. Many interested ministers will naturally send people to observe around them, especially the censors in the court. They are officials who listen to the news and then catch officials with small braids to make a living. They hope that Yang Ze will make mistakes, and then they can write memorials and curse. If they don’t send people to guard the back door, then how can they rely on to catch the wind and shadow and curse people and gain reputation!

Ma Chengxian walked to his uncle's mansion, slapped the door knocker, and asked the doorman to open the door. He thought to himself: "Fortunately, the first one to come was his uncle's house, otherwise I would be really scared and I don't know what to say."

The Ma family's concierge naturally knew him. Seeing that it was the young master who came, he was not polite and said, "Is he here to borrow money again? Haven't you heard that you have made a fortune recently? Why did you come to borrow money? This money is spent too quickly!"

Anyway, Ma Chengxian borrowed money when he came to his uncle. He thought in a habitual way that the concierge thought that he was here to borrow money again.

Ma Chengxian snorted and said, "Now I have money, so how could I borrow it again..."

"Then are you here to pay back the money?" The concierge was shocked!

"That's not true!" Ma Chengxian was a little ashamed. He had made a fortune, but he didn't think about paying back the money. He was a little sorry for his uncle. But he quickly changed the subject.

Ma Chengxian asked, "Do you have a daughter?"

The doorman was stunned. Why did he pull his daughter into his body? He nodded and said, "Yes, the villain has a daughter. He is fourteen years old this year and hasn't found a husband's family yet! Oh, Master, you want to hit the villain's daughter, right? I'll tell you, don't see if there is a difference between master and servant. But my daughter will not marry you. Even if you beg the master, you won't be the master, and the master will not make this decision for you!"

The concierge immediately became anxious. What kind of person his nephew is? Others don’t know, but he doesn’t know yet. He is so arrogant and even came up with his daughter. This is really tolerant. The concierge is unbearable!

Ma Chengxian shook his head and said, "I don't even know that you have a daughter, how could I have an idea for her! Besides, my eldest son of the Ma family, how could he fall in love with you, the daughter of a small gatekeeper? Don't daydream!"

The concierge was shocked and suspicious, but he didn't say anything else. Because he was worried that his daughter would be attracted by this bastard nephew, he forgot to ask why Ma Chengxian came!

Ma Chengxian sat for a while, and probably the time was up, so he got up and left, left Ma Weishan's house, and went to the house of Shangshu Ling Zheng Ruiqi. When he went out, he did not forget to look around and execute Yang Ze's words without fail.

When he arrived at Zheng Ruiqi's mansion, he looked around first. He found that there was indeed someone following him in the darkness. It seemed that the county magistrate still valued this test very much, otherwise he could send someone to follow him all the way!

He slapped the door knocker and asked to open the door. The Zheng family's doorman refused to recognize him and asked, "Brother, who are you looking for?"

"Do you have a daughter... Ah, no, I'm wrong. I want to ask for a meeting with your housekeeper. I have something to say to him. My name is Ma Chengxian. He will know as soon as you say it." Ma Chengxian said.

"Oh, look for my butler, please wait a while!" The concierge heard that he was looking for the butler, so he didn't dare to neglect him, so he invited him into the small house next to the door, and he went to find the butler.

Before Ma Chengxian could wait a while, the concierge came back and said, "Brother, you have found the wrong place. Our butler said he doesn't know you. Besides, it's too late and he has gone to bed long ago and will not come to see you. If you have any urgent matters, you might as well tell me that I will go to the butler again. If there is no urgent matter, you can come to him again when it's dawn tomorrow!"

Of course I won’t see you, and I’m not a person I know. Who doesn’t sleep in the middle of the night and comes out to talk to strangers. Isn’t that sick? This is the doorman at the Shangshuling’s mansion. If it is placed in the house of ordinary people, it is easy to use a rolling pin and come out to beat Ma Chengxian for a meal. If you are full, you will knock on the door in the middle of the night!

Ma Chengxian nodded, stood up, and said, "That may be because he really found the wrong place. I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you!" After that, he left the Shangshu Ling's mansion, looked around, and then he lowered his head and left.

The concierge was very puzzled. This man was not sick, right? He was wandering around the streets in the middle of the night and was careful to be caught by the patrol guards! (To be continued...)
