Old Yutou did not enter the yard in the end, because as soon as he stepped into the yard with his front feet, the tiger raised its upper body and grinded its teeth. It was originally going to show off its filial piety, but after being touched on the head by Ma Sanbao, it quickly crawled away again.
go back.
The old fish head took advantage of this gap to quickly retract his feet and said he was unwilling to come in again.
Old Yutou laughed loudly and said that there was no need to wait any longer, now, he went to find Ma Sanbao's special knife for eunuchs.
Seeing Ma Sanbao, a fake bitch, being beaten so hard by a real bitch that he couldn't get off the stage, Li Yuanji sat on a couch under the eaves of the courtyard and smiled happily.
"Are all your subordinates like this? How come they have no sense of shame at all?"
Ma Sanbao was a little reluctant to get off the stage, and he had nothing to do with Lao Yutou, so he had no choice but to seek justice from Li Yuanji, the head of the family.
Li Yuanji waved to the big cat walking around him, and when he stroked the hair on the back of the big cat's neck, he smiled cheerfully: "Who told you to laugh at others? If you don't laugh at them, they will 'dig'
Can’t you get off the stage?”
Ma Sanbao said angrily: "Then you can't be so shameless, right?"
Li Yuanji said funnyly: "You were rude first, and you still have the nerve to blame others for being shameless. If I were you, I would first look for the reason in myself."
Ma Sanbao knew that he was in the wrong, but he said stubbornly: "If I reveal my identity as the county magistrate, he will have to go around me. How can he dare to dig me out?"
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "In that case, do you think it's still interesting?"
Ma Sanbao was immediately speechless after being asked.
The reason why Ma Sanbao hid his identity and did not mention it was because he hoped that Lao Yutou and others would treat him like an ordinary citizen.
In that way, he could see the truest side of Old Yutou and others, and experience the real life of ordinary people on an equal footing.
If he reveals his identity and shows his identity everywhere, then he will have no chance of living the life of an ordinary person without intrigues or grudges.
Li Yuanji could tell that Ma Sanbao liked this simple and unpretentious life.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to deliberately break this kind of life, and naturally it is impossible for him to use his identity as a county magistrate to oppress others.
"Since you are enjoying your current life, then seize the time to enjoy it. After your injury heals, I'm afraid you will never be able to enjoy this kind of life again."
Li Yuanji sighed with emotion.
Ma Sanbao raised his head slightly and said, "You want me to help you do something?"
Li Yuanji smiled and stared at Ma Sanbao without saying a word.
Ma Sanbao let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Okay, this is me. Do you want me to do something for you?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I don't want you to do things for me, but to help the Tang Dynasty. As an official of the Tang Dynasty, you receive the salary of the Tang Dynasty, enjoy the wealth and honor given to you by the Tang Dynasty, and help the Tang Dynasty."
Isn’t it your duty to do things Don?”
Ma Sanbao said unconvinced: "But I am from the Princess Mansion, and I only help the owner of the Princess Mansion. What I owe you was paid off not long ago, and I don't need to listen to your orders anymore."
Li Yuanji sighed, stared at Ma Sanbao and said: "It's better to dispatch you than to dispatch my third sister, right? You don't owe me, but you owe Datang. From the moment you receive Datang's salary, from then on,
The moment you enjoy the glory and wealth given to you by the Tang Dynasty, your debt to the Tang Dynasty has been repaid.
I am not talking to you as the King of Qi, but as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
All you can do is follow orders."
Ma Sanbao was a little annoyed and a little anxious. He took two steps forward and shouted: "Your Highness, why are you so aggressive?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Sanbao and said angrily: "Do you think I am willing? Now the Tang Dynasty is in a critical situation and we urgently need each of us to contribute to it.
You also know that I don't have many people under my command, and I can't support the entire Tang Dynasty, so I can only focus on you."
Ma Sanbao shouted with a serious look: "Ke Chen just wants to protect my master."
Li Yuanji took a deep breath, stared at Ma Sanbao and said equally seriously: "I am also half of your master, am I not?"
Ma Sanbao opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word to refute.
In terms of origin, he and Li Yuanji have nothing to do with each other.
But from other aspects, Li Yuanji is indeed half of his master.
To be precise, if slavery was still used in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji would be the master of many people.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty did not continue to practice slavery. The only places where you can see things related to slavery in the Tang Dynasty are in the prisoner camps, the Jiaofang Division, and... Taiji Palace.
The remaining officials, common people, and even common people who are second-class citizens are prohibited from being enslaved.
Easy buying and selling is also prohibited.
The buying and selling of people also existed in the Tang Dynasty, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs had this business.
Some people who are old and frail, or who have committed crimes in the palace but are not beheaded, will be sold by the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before they can wait for a chance to show their good deeds.
The location is in Fang Street outside Qingming Canal.
The largest population trading market in Datang is also there.
Of course, being enslaved or being bought and sold has nothing to do with Sir Ma Sanbao.
What has something to do with Ma Sanbao is his identity in front of Li Xiuning.
He regarded himself as a slave in front of Li Xiuning and always called Li Xiuning his master.
Therefore, Li Xiuning's biological brother can be regarded as half of his master.
"I don't want to embarrass you. I just want you to sit at Weize Pass after you recover from your injury and replace He Fanren and Qiu Shili."
Li Yuanji stared at Ma Sanbao and said after Ma Sanbao fell into silence for a long time.
This is not too difficult for Ma Sanbao.
This incident is also a good thing for Ma Sanbao.
Ma Sanbao had always wanted to leave a way out for Li Xiuning, and his most promising way out was Weize Pass.
Now he would not be too resistant if he was asked to guard Weize Pass and create a retreat for Li Xiuning that might never be used.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ma Sanbao was obviously stunned when he heard this. After thinking quickly, he looked at Li Yuanji and said: "You can't trust Master Qiu."
Is it profitable?"
Li Yuanji did not hide anything, nodded and said: "His father and elder brother are both my second brother's people, how can I trust him? If he imitates Li Zhongwen in Weize Pass, or when the Turks invade, he uses Wei Zeguan's safety was threatened and he asked me to let my second brother go. Do you want me to let him go or not?
If we let him go, what kind of commotion will my second brother make? How do you think my third sister and I should deal with each other, and how should we face my second brother?"
Ma Sanbao was asked again.
If Li Shimin is released and Li Shimin makes trouble again, there will only be one way to deal with it.
That is war.
But whether Li Shimin died in the battle or Li Yuanji died in the battle, Li Xiuning, as their biological sister, would be miserable.
As Li Xiuning's loyal servant, how could he watch Li Xiuning fall into agony?
"I thought you came to see my master today, but I didn't expect you came to see me..."
After Ma Sanbao hesitated again and again and made a decision, he said with a complicated expression.
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "It seems you have already decided?"
Ma Sanbao said with a more complicated expression: "Do you have any other choices?"
No, there is no other option.
It was related to Li Xiuning's future life, and he would risk his life not to do it.
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "After I return to the palace, I will send someone to deliver you the appointment document. After you recover from your injury, you can take the appointment document directly and take office."
Ma Sanbao nodded stiffly and said, "Okay, what will my master say?"
Li Yuanji stared at Ma Sanbao and said, "What are you going to say?"
Ma Sanbao hesitated and said: "I hope you can say that I took the initiative to ask for the job. As for what I should say, I will think of it as soon as possible."
Ma Sanbao didn't want Li Xiuning to think wildly.
Li Yuanji agreed immediately.
Then the two of them had nothing to say.
When one person has faintly coerced another person, the relationship between the two people is no longer so close, so it will appear very awkward when talking about some intimate topics.
So saying nothing is the best way to deal with it.
Li Yuanji waited in the yard for most of the day, and waited until dusk before Sun Simiao and Li Xiuning returned with medicine cages on their backs. Behind them were seven or eight strong men, also carrying medicine cages, which contained medicinal materials. fully.
Some of the medicinal herbs are still as green as new, as if they had just been picked.
As soon as Sun Simiao saw Li Yuanji, he guessed that Li Yuanji had something serious to discuss with Li Xiuning, so he immediately had someone take the medicine cage from Li Xiuning's back and go elsewhere.
When several strong men were preparing to leave with medicine cages on their backs, Li Xiuning warned them to listen to Sun Simiao, and only let them leave after they fully agreed.
The big cat lying at Li Yuanji's feet felt like it had seen a savior after seeing Sun Simiao. It wanted to leave with Sun Simiao, but after being grabbed by the back of the neck by Li Yuanji, it could only whimper in a low voice. Then he put his head between his legs again and let Li Yuanji rub it.
"Tell me, how old are you, and you still bully a beast?"
Li Xiuning couldn't stand Li Yuanji bullying the big cat. After he rescued the big cat and let the big cat chase Sun Simiao's back, he rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiuning in horse attire and looked heroic, stood up slowly, made room for Li Xiuning, and said with a smile: "I didn't bully it, it's just that it didn't dare to make trouble in front of me.
