Summary of the previous chapter: I was forced to the door of a compound by a local idiot, and was beaten by an old woman with a walking stick, and then my ears were grabbed by a woman who claimed to be my sister-in-law... This matter is going to happen.
What's going on?
"My eldest brother?" The man looked at the woman in surprise and thought to himself: It seems that I don't have an eldest brother in this era. Why...does this family really regard me as their fourth young master?
"Stop talking nonsense, come in." The woman used her hands hard to twist the man into the courtyard.
This is a quite large manor, and the scenery and furnishings in the garden are very unique. Although the man's ears were twisted, he was fascinated by the unique scenery of this manor.
The woman twisted the man's ears and said angrily: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are such an inconsiderate guy, you go out as soon as you go out, and you also cut your hair short. Just wait, wait for grandma to deal with you."
The man looked innocent, thinking that I am not the real Ma Xiaoquan, your Ma Xiaoquan has died...you must treat me as your fourth young master.
...
In the main hall, the old woman was sitting on the imperial chair, looking at the woman and the man with a frown.
"Qinghan... let go of your hands..." the old woman said.
"Yes, grandma"
The woman rolled her eyes at the man, and "reluctantly" let go of the hand that was holding her ear. Before she let go, the woman twisted hard again, which was so painful that the man almost screamed.
"Kneel down, you beast!" the old woman shouted angrily.
The man looked helpless. He looked around and found many people standing in the main hall.
"Kneel down!" the old woman repeated again.
The man was helpless and thought to himself: Damn it, I don’t understand the situation now, so just kneel down. Anyway, this old woman looks to be in her sixties, she is old enough to be a grandmother, so there is nothing wrong with kneeling down for her elders.
With a "pop" sound, the man simply knelt down on his knees.
"Huh?" Everyone present was slightly stunned. In everyone's impression, the fourth young master seemed to have never knelt down for anyone. Why did he suddenly...
The old woman was also stunned. In her impression, this incompetent grandson would either run away or lie and cheat at this time. As for kneeling down or something, the old woman had never seen him.
Kneeling down, the old woman's originally furious mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Quan'er...you..." A man with gray hair who looked like a housekeeper next to the old woman said in surprise.
The man raised his head, shook his head and said, "Who are you?"
"Uh" everyone was stunned again.
Beside the old woman, the woman's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she leaned close to the old woman and whispered: "Grandma, this guy is very clever. He pretended to be like this last time, and he will do it again this time. Grandma, you can't believe him."
..."
The old woman nodded, struck the ground with her cane, and cursed: "Little bastard, what tricks are you playing?"
The man looked depressed: "Fancy? I really don't know you. You...who are you?"
The old woman's face turned green with anger, she swung her stick and pestle, and shouted: "You bitch, come here."
Tudan knelt down in front of the old woman and said: "Old lady..."
"Tudan, tell me, what did you do with the young master this morning?"
Tu Dan glanced at the man and saw that his face was expressionless, so he whispered: "Go... to Yuelai Inn..."
"What did you do at Yuelai Inn?"
"Old lady, I..."
The old woman hummed and said: "You bitch, don't worry, if this little beast dares to trouble you later, I will break his legs."
"Oh," Tu Dan nodded, "Young Master... went to Yuelai Inn today... for a tryst... to have a tryst with Xiao Cuihua."
"Xiao Cuihua?" The old woman squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then turned and asked the housekeeper beside him, "Ma Tong, if I remember correctly, Xiao Cuihua is Liu Yi Jing's Xina's wife.
Concubine, right?"
"Reply Madam, yes"
Upon hearing this, the old woman gritted her teeth and cursed: "Little beast, are you hungry? Do you know who Liu Yijing is? Do you want to touch his woman?"
The man smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Yijing? Oh, cabinet bachelor, I really didn't touch it. If I did, I would admit it..."
"Shut up!" The old woman stood up excitedly, walked quickly to the man, raised her walking stick and was about to hit him.
This time, the man would not be so stupid waiting to be beaten. As soon as the old woman raised the cane, the man rolled sideways and easily avoided it.
"You still dare to hide? Come here, tie up this brat."
The man originally wanted to resist, and he even wanted to summon Xiaoshuang out, but he thought the situation was not clear yet, so he gave up these two ideas and gave up resisting.
Soon, the man was tied up by several servants.
With the support of the woman, the old woman came forward angrily and slapped the man in the face.
The "snap" was so hard and the sound was so loud that the man felt dizzy and made him lower his head.
"Lock him up for a month," the old woman said angrily.
...
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report that Mr. Liang of the Yamen would like to see you.
"Master Liang?" The old woman glared at the man kneeling on the ground and said to herself, "What is this fat guy doing here? Ma Tong, go and greet him."
The old housekeeper beside the old woman nodded and said respectfully: "Yes"
...
After a while, a short but fat man wandered into the main hall. When he saw the old woman, the fat man chuckled, raised his hands and saluted: "Mrs. Ma, Liang Chao wishes you well."
The old woman smiled slightly, showed Master Liang a seat, served tea, and asked: "Master Liang, old lady, I remember that you have never been to my Ma's house?"
Liang Chao chuckled: "Yes, yes, I didn't do it well before..."
"Liang Chao, come to my Ma's house...just tell me what's going on?"
Liang Chao took a sip of tea, his expression changed, and he exhaled: "Mrs. Ma, there is something I have to report to you."
"explain"
Liang Chao said: "Mrs. Ma, the fourth young master of your Ma family...er, that is, Ma Xiaoquan, was killed at noon today...in the Yuelai Inn?"
"Kill?" The old lady chuckled and shook her head gently.
Liang Chao was stunned, thinking something was wrong. This old woman was said to love his grandson very much. Why didn't she react at all after hearing such bad news?
The old woman looked at Liang Chao and said: "Master Liang, I don't know where you got the news... The fourth young master of my Ma family is here fine, so why should I kill him?"
?”
As the old woman spoke, she turned to the man who was kneeling on the ground with his head down and rubbing his face and shouted: "Little bastard, raise your head."
The man was extremely depressed, but he had to listen, so he raised his head obediently.
Liang Chao looked in the direction where the old woman was speaking. At this glance, Liang Chao almost fell off his seat.
"This..." Liang Chao's eyes widened and he looked at the man carefully, "This... head... hair..."
The old woman snorted coldly: "Liang Chao, are you looking for trouble with nothing to do? If that's the case, my old lady will play with you..."
Liang Chao was extremely depressed. How could he dare to make a mistake? He quickly stood up and bowed and apologized: "Mrs. Ma, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I made a mistake. I'm leaving now... I'm leaving now...
..”
The old woman didn't embarrass Liang Chao. After all, the other party's expression just now didn't seem to be teasing.
Seeing Liang Chao's fat body running out of Ma's house, the old woman turned to the woman next to her and said: "Qinghan, go and lock up this little brat. Remember, no one is allowed to open the door without my personal order.
"
The woman nodded: "Yes, grandma"
The woman walked up to the man arrogantly: "Let's go, Fourth Young Master"
The man stood up and glanced at the woman with a depressed look on his face.
"Hey" the man sighed and said to himself: "Okay, let's find a way to understand the situation first and then talk about it."
...
After the man left, the housekeeper Ma Tong approached the old woman and asked respectfully: "Madam, I always feel that something is not right with the fourth young master."
The old woman nodded: "Well, I also feel something is wrong. Ma Tong, you go and find out what happened at the inn at noon today. By the way, Liang Chao will also investigate it."
"yes"
...
The old woman took a few heavy breaths and said to herself: "My Ma family is not prosperous to begin with. If this brat's father and brother weren't in Ningyuan, how could my Ma family be so prestigious...
..Hey, the emperor has just passed away, everything...has not yet been determined..."
...
Outside the main gate of Ma's house, Liang Chao kept wiping the sweat from his head. Beside Liang Chao, several officers and soldiers carefully carried two sedans.
One of the two sedans was empty, while two dead people were "sitting" in the other.
"Sir, how do you..."
Liang Chao frowned and glanced at the officers and soldiers around him, and asked, "You said that dude from the Ma family is dead?"
"Yes, sir, haven't you seen it too?"
"What the hell, why don't you go in and take a look now? People are living a good life!"
"Sir, how is this possible? Ma Xiaoquan obviously looks like this. Who in Beijing doesn't know about it? Who doesn't know about it?"
"Forget it... I'll take her back and deal with it, uh, forget it, that woman is Liu Yijing's concubine... Hey, if you have nothing to do all day, just make trouble for me...
.... Go back first... Let's talk about it after we go back." Liang Chao said, stepping onto the empty sedan chair.
The officers and soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, with confused expressions on their faces.
"Still not leaving? What are you doing standing around?"
The officers and soldiers shrugged, reluctantly lifted up the two sedans, and slowly left...
