Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the "battlefield" with satisfaction, and then left the cell with a smile. Long Fei and others lay on the ground howling miserably, cursing Xiong Ying and Ma Xiaoyao for not having a good death.
As soon as he returned to the Yamen, Xiongying fell drunk and fell asleep on the floor. Ma Xiaoyao ordered people to carry Xiongying to the guest room and place him there, and then he went to the study.
Niu Liu had been waiting in the study. When he saw Ma Xiaoyao walking in with his hands behind his back, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Sir, is the matter... done?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It's done! Niu Liu, the wine you got is really effective, haha... Prepare more in the future, maybe you can use it again one day."
"Hey, I'll get it later." Niu Liu responded.
Ma Xiaoyao pulled up the chair and sat down, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Drag the eagle into the water, my pressure will be much less, hehe..." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing: "
When the eagle wakes up and knows what he has done, I wonder what his expression will be like?"
"My intestines must have turned green with regret." Niu Liu also smiled.
"Niu Liu, do you think I am too damaged? This matter has nothing to do with the Eagle. I dragged him into the water just to reduce the pressure. It is really too much." Ma Xiaoyao sighed.
"Not too much, not too much at all!" Niu Liu shook his head vigorously: "Xiong Ying is the popular person around the emperor, well, to be precise, he is the most popular person around the emperor. He has won the trust of the emperor. He even
The prince must be polite when he sees Xiong Ying. A big shot like him is not afraid of offending others. Well, I also heard that Xiong Ying hates evil and hates those dudes who do whatever they want by relying on the power of their fathers.
Son, if he knew that he had beaten up those dandy boys, not only would he not be angry, but he would also be happy."
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "You are so eloquent. You can say something black as white, and you can say something white as black. I really admire you."
"Haha... Are you complimenting me, sir?" Niu Liu scratched his head: "I just take it as a compliment, thank you, sir."
"You...you are such a talent." Ma Xiaoyao burst out laughing. It was indeed a joy to have such a treasure like Niu Liu by his side.
"Sir, I have investigated everything you asked me to investigate." Niu Liu took out a stack of white paper from his arms: "What is recorded here are the evil deeds of Long Fei and others over the years."
"Oh? You are very efficient at work." Ma Xiaoyao took the white paper and read it carefully. At first, Ma Xiaoyao's expression was normal, but after seeing it, his expression immediately changed, and there were flashes in his eyes that could burn him to death.
Human anger.
Niu Liu felt Ma Xiaoyao's overwhelming anger and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
"These guys deserve to die!" Ma Xiaoyao roared: "Beheading them all will not eliminate the anger in my heart!"
"Sir, these guys are really over the top, and they deserve to be beheaded, but..." At this point, Niu Liu showed a wry smile: "Why are they so arrogant? It's not because they have a good father.
?Their father is either a minister or a prince. With this group of powerful people here, it is impossible for you to chop off their heads."
"Why not?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes widened angrily.
"Sir, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. You are just a small city guard, and you can't fight against those powerful people." Niu Liu persuaded him with all his heart: "If they unite, they will form a very powerful force.
With such power, even the emperor has to give in three points..."
"What if I insist on executing the death penalty on these dandy boys?" Ma Xiaoyao said with a livid face: "Do those powerful people dare to rob the execution ground? Do they dare to risk the disapproval of the world and trample on the law?"
"They certainly don't dare to come openly, but they will stumble you secretly." Niu Liu said: "Let's put it this way, if you insist on carrying out the death penalty, the emperor will remove you directly without the help of those powerful people.
."
"Impossible!" Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Not long ago, the emperor asked Xiong Ying to pass down instructions and asked me to thoroughly investigate the case of Long Fei and others. He agrees with my approach, how could he remove me from my position?"
"Because the emperor wants to use your hand to establish his authority." Although Niu Liu's position is low, he sees the problem very clearly: "Long Fei is the son of Prince Long. Everyone knows that Prince Long is at odds with the emperor, except Long Fei.
Fei, there are some children whose parents have conflicts with the emperor. The emperor wants to take this opportunity to severely beat these enemies, but the emperor will definitely leave room for it. He will not do it absolutely because he doesn't want to do it.
The emperor has offended so many powerful people, otherwise his situation will become difficult. Just imagine, if a large number of powerful people turn against him, will the emperor's life be easy?"
Ma Xiaoyao fell silent. Although he was angry, he had to admit that what Niu Liu said made sense.
"Sir, you have to think twice. Don't ruin your future on impulse." Niu Liu advised.
"Why is it so difficult to do something?" Ma Xiaoyao said bitterly: "A bunch of lawless scum are standing in front of me, but I can't deal with them. Is there anyone in the world who is more useless than me?"
"In the final analysis, your official position is too low." Niu Liu said sharply: "There are too many people who can restrict you, so your hands are tied when doing things."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You're right, it's just that my official position is too low... that's why I can't control those powerful people... If my official position was higher, even... Well, what's the use of talking about this now."
"I know you are not willing to give in, and neither am I, but for the sake of your future, I'd better be patient for now. When you rise up in the future, I can slowly settle old scores with them." Niu Liu is quite good at comforting people.
"I let them go today, but someone will be bullied tomorrow." Ma Xiaoyao said word by word: "Niu Liu, you said I would show the crimes of these dandies to the emperor, what would his attitude be?"
"I'll probably be very angry."
"Then what?"
"There is no more."
"you……"
"I just said that it is impossible for the emperor to break up with those powerful people." At this point, Niu Liu paused: "Sir, do you think the emperor really doesn't know what these playboys do in daily life? He is the emperor.
, the Lord of the Nine Fives is the ruler of the secret realm, and the entire secret realm is under his supervision. He must be aware of the evil deeds of Long Fei and others, but he has never dealt with Long Fei and others, which already shows the problem.
The emperor doesn’t want to break up with the parents of Long Fei and others, so he can only turn a blind eye."
"It's so damn frustrating!" Ma Xiaoyao cursed.
"If you don't believe me, then go into the palace and report everything to the emperor and see how he will deal with it," Niu Liu said.
Ma Xiaoyao suddenly became speechless.
"Sir..." Niu Liu wanted to say something else.
"Go down and let me think about it alone." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand tiredly.
"...Yes, I will stay outside. If you need anything, just call me." Niu Liu turned around and left the study.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao let out a long sigh: "There are many helplessness in life. Even if you become the emperor one day, there will probably be restrictions."
…
The eagle didn't wake up until the evening. When he woke up, he sat on the bed in a daze, his eyebrows raised and twisted, his mouth opened and closed, and his expression was very funny.
"Snapped!"
The eagle suddenly reached out and patted himself, and then howled loudly: "Damn! I actually beat up those dudes? How could this happen? How could I do it? What on earth is going on!"
After the eagle drank "forbidden alcohol", although he became impulsive and excited, he did not lose his memory. After he woke up, he immediately remembered the entire incident.
upset!
At this moment, Xiongying's heart was filled with annoyance and confusion.
Although Xiong Ying hated those playboys, he never thought of beating them up. Xiong Ying was a very rational person, and he would never do anything impulsive. Jin Tianwei just took a fancy to Xiong Ying's stability and steadiness.
, and then gradually cultivated the eagle into a confidant.
"It's over, it's over now." Xiongying shook his head in distress: "I beat those dandy boys so badly, their parents will definitely come to settle the score with me..." The thought of being beaten by a group of princes, Hou
The lords were around to settle accounts, and Xiongying's scalp felt numb. Although he was very confident, he did not dare to challenge so many princes and marquises.
Get out of here quickly!
Go back to the palace and ask for help from the emperor!
The eagle jumped off the bed and ran out of the room quickly.
"Commander Xiongda, are you awake?" Ma Xiaoyao stood outside the door with a smile: "I was just planning to wake you up for dinner."
"Master Ma..." Xiongying's face twitched: "Today I..."
"The Commander-in-Chief is so mighty and domineering today! He beat those dandy boys until they howled like ghosts and wolves, which made me feel relieved just watching." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao raised his thumb: "Commander-in-Chief, you are really amazing, I'm so great
I admire you so much, you have done things that I dare not do, you are simply my idol."
"Stop talking!" Xiong Ying's face turned green: "Master Ma, what happened today... was purely an accident... I don't know what happened to me, but I actually went to the cell to beat someone... I...
…I really don’t know what’s going on…”
"Commander, please stop being modest. Your feat today has been seen by many people. They all admire the Commander. They also said that they want to go out and publicize the heroism of the Commander, so that more people can respect the Commander.
"Ma Xiaoyao laughed.
"What?!" Xiongying's eyes widened: "Someone is going out to promote it? So, the matter of me beating Long Fei and others...has been spread out?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded seriously: "I guess half of the people in the imperial city know about it. I just went out for a walk and heard many people praising the commander-in-chief."
