To be honest, until Ma Er shouted this, there was still room for maneuver today.
Because there are actually only a handful of people who recognize Ma Xuansheng, the "future prince consort" on the spot.
After all, Ma Xuansheng is different from Ma Er. He will not cause trouble on the street every day like a gangster, and "scan the face" everywhere.
If Ma Xuansheng can act without being recognized today, he can take advantage of the fact that he has not yet caused any death and make a "major event turn it into a small matter".
For example: first catch a few gangsters and put the crowds in the jail, then compensate the inn for enough money to handle the matter, and then send Ma Er, the troublemaker, back to his hometown overnight, and then go to Han Yu to plead to ensure that Ma Er will not cause any major trouble in the future...
After completing this series of operations, Ma Er's life will be saved by 80%.
As for the future he will continue to harm the local people in his hometown, that is another matter; as the saying goes, "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away", there are not a thousand local tyrants and evil gentry in various places, and there are eight hundred. As long as your backer in the court is strong enough, you can just toss and make trouble.
However, Ma Er just didn't know how to live or die, and insisted on turning his head and shouting at Ma Xuansheng, as if he was afraid that everyone would not know that his backer had arrived.
In this way, everyone can see that the young man dressed as a Confucian scholar standing beside the officer leading the team is Ma Er's legendary son-in-law.
"Hmph, I've heard that Ma Er relies on his elder brother's power to do something wrong in the city, but he has never seen his elder brother show up. So that's how it looks."
"You can't say that Ma Xuansheng is really handsome. He doesn't look like a mother from his brother. No wonder he was named the top scholar and became the son-in-law."
"Ha...what is it useful to be good? Look at his brother's virtue. I'm afraid that being a brother is not a good thing, right?"
"That's right, I don't believe that Ma Er did what he did based on his name. How could he not know anything about it? There is no benefit at all?"
Everyone, it is said that people's mouth can be crushed to death under their tongues.
It would be fine if you change the place. Maybe the people are timid and dare not talk about anything after seeing so many officers and soldiers. But this Baoyuan Inn is a place of mixed dragons and snakes. Many of the guests here are not good people, and they really dare to say it.
Moreover, those who gossiped are obviously not afraid of these sounds reaching Ma Xuansheng's ears, and even deliberately criticizing him.
When the sound of Ma Xuan was heard, he must have been anxious.
He immediately thought to himself: "Ma Er, Ma Er, I, a person who has already entered the court and will become a royal relative in the future, may not have set foot in such a market place for eight lifetimes...
These untouchables, let alone pointing at me, may they kneel in the hall even if they want to see me in the future.
But today, for your unsatisfactory brother, I still come. I think I can save you as much as possible. After all, I will have a fight between you and my blood is thicker than water. It is hard to explain to your family if you kill me.
And you... I sold me first as soon as we met.
Now everyone knows that the person standing here is your brother, the top scholar, the son-in-law, and the backer in your rumor...
Then how can I protect you?
This Baoyuan Inn is the fastest news in the capital. There are so many eyes and so many mouths growing on others... If I protect you, how big a handle would I have to leave?"
Thinking of this, Ma Xuansheng's eyes changed.
If Ma Xuansheng had fantasies about saving his younger brother on the way to mobilize troops here, then at this moment, he had completely made up his mind.
Compared with his political life and even the future of his entire life, what is the life of his younger brother Ma Er?
What's more, through Ma Er's cry that was just brain-free, Ma Xuansheng was confirmed again. Even if he could protect Ma Er today, his younger brother would sooner or later cheat him on other matters in the future.
Then it is better to choose a day than to meet the day, and "destroy relatives for justice" will take this time.
"Random!" After a breath, Ma Xuansheng, who had already thought about it, suddenly shouted loudly, and suddenly suppressed the voices of talking about him in the lobby. "Ma Er! You bastard! You still know that I am your brother!" When he said this, he seemed righteous and timid. He was really confused. "I am busy with official duties on my daily life and have no time to care about you. So you use my name as a fish meat village in this city to do whatever you want?" He said, and clasped his fists at the officer beside him. "If Wu Jun hadn't been conscious today, he found out that you were going to make trouble here, hurry up and send someone to deliver a letter to me and take me to see... I might be kept in the dark by you!"
It has to be said that it makes sense that Ma Xuansheng was appreciated by Han Yu. With his on-the-spot reaction, language organization skills, and acting skills... many people who have been in the officialdom for twenty years than him may not be.
His words not only cut off Ma Er's evil deeds from himself, but also covered up the "driving troops" matters.
According to what he said, the current situation has become: he did not know any of the bad things Ma Er did with his name, and these officers and soldiers were not transferred from him through relationships. They just performed official duties normally, but they called him over and let him see what his younger brother did.
Since Ma Xuansheng has already "arranged" like this, the "Wu Juntou" beside him naturally would not say much, just follow the role of the prince-consort.
"Brother...you..." When Ma Er heard these words, he was stunned on the spot.
How could he have thought that after asking for help, what he got would be a scolding from his elder brother. And from what he meant, Ma Xuansheng had already cut off his mat with him unilaterally?
"What are you? I'm not your brother! I don't have a younger brother like you!" Ma Xuansheng didn't want Ma Er to continue talking, because the more the latter said, the more unfavorable it was for him. So he stopped Ma Er with the previous sentence, and then turned to the officer beside him, "Mr. Wu Jun, you don't have to worry about me, just do things according to the law! As the saying goes, the emperor violated the law and the common people, let alone Ma Er!"
While he was talking, he was already desperately signaling Wu Juntou to take action quickly and never let Ma Er say more.
Wu Juntou understood it and immediately continued: "Okay, the prince consort is worthy of being a pillar of the country. Even when facing brothers, he can destroy personal gains impartially and destroy relatives for justice. Wu admires..." He first flattered Ma Xuansheng to help Ma Xuansheng sit down the previous speech more firmly, and then turned to whisper to his subordinates, "Brothers, arrest all these gangsters who fight and cause trouble for me and take them back to discuss it!"
With his order, the hundreds of officers and soldiers immediately began to arrest people in all directions.
Now, it's lively...
Do you think, are those gangsters who will surrender?
In addition to the gangsters, there are also waiters and guests... hundreds of people in a mess. Can the officers and soldiers be distinguished in a short while? Can they be arrested?
In addition, there are more than one entrance and exit of this inn, can we run away or not?
In fact, there were many clever gangsters (including Sun Yixie) who felt something was wrong when Ma Xuansheng said the first paragraph just now. They thought to themselves: It's bad. Judging from this, Ma Er Master's son-in-law is going to turn against him. Then don't be too late. Let's escape first while the officers and soldiers have not moved. If they run slowly, they may suffer.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers really started to catch people, and the gangsters even scattered, rushing around in a row, panic... They all run anywhere and get into the road.
Of course, these gangsters will run away once they run away, and it doesn’t matter.
The important thing is to take down Ma Er.
Wu Juntou was also a clever person. He could see that the prince-consort was really eager to make Ma Er "shut up". So, after he gave the order, he was not idle, and immediately called several elite subordinates next to him and rushed to Ma Er with him.
The gangsters who carried Ma Er's sedan chair and the younger brothers beating him during the day when they saw this scene, they threw Ma Er's sedan chair away, turned around and ran away.
Ma Er, who fell from the sedan chair, was injured and screamed in pain. Not to mention running, it was difficult to climb.
And at this moment, no one came to care about him or save him.
To put it bluntly... Ma Er, who has no backer, is just a thing that he hates. He has never made a name for "loyalty" at all, and has no real friend.
In this way, Ma Er was easily taken down by Wu Jun's leader and was taken away as soon as possible. Most of his gangsters escaped, and only about thirty people were caught.
Today's farce should have come to an end, but...
"You four, let's go with us." When the people were almost caught, Wu Juntou actually came to Huang Donglai, Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng and Tyrel, and said this.
"Huh?" Huang Donglai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and replied, "This military master, we are just defending ourselves. Could it be that we are also guilty?"
"Who said you were going to be punished?" Wu Juntou replied, "I just asked you to go back and ask me something." He paused, "Ma Er didn't look for others, but he just looked for you. There must be a reason. I can't just bring the people from him back and let the master listen to his one-sided words? If you don't go back and say a few words to me, how can you get him into the case?"
At first glance, his words made sense and nothing unusual, but in fact, Wu Juntou would come over and say this and try to take them back. It was not Wu Juntou himself who meant it, but Ma Xuansheng instructed it...
Obviously, this future son-in-law has other plans, and he wants to design the parties involved in this incident to bury his younger brother.
Although the person who "needs" and "needs" to get rid of Ma Er is Ma Xuansheng himself, but some people are like this... After making some difficult choices, they will find some other people or things as excuses or victims to make themselves feel better.
In this example, Ma Xuansheng's logic is: if it wasn't for the trouble of these people, Ma Er wouldn't make such a big noise in the city. If he didn't make such a big noise, the teacher wouldn't care about him. If the teacher didn't care, I wouldn't be forced to remove him.
And according to this idea, let’s go further: these people have to get rid of my younger brother, and I am forced to take revenge.
To sum up, Ma Xuansheng is now planning to trick Huang Donglai and others back to the yamen first, and then find an opportunity to attack the murder.
However, Huang Donglai and a few others have not seen any problems here yet, because from their perspective, Ma Xuansheng's previous behavior of destroying relatives for justice should be true; objectively speaking, he did not ask the officers and soldiers to help his younger brother, but instead let Wu Juntou "do his work impartially" and take down Ma Er.
So Huang Donglai thought: Isn’t it just “recording a confession”? We did nothing wrong, just go with them once.
So he immediately turned to look into the lobby, wanting to say hello to Murako and Kobayashi, and ask them if they want to come together.
However, he stood there and swept several times, but he did not see Budzi and Lin Yuancheng.
At this time, Huang Donglai thought again: With the skills of Master and Xiaolin, nothing should happen. Whether they hide or leave, there must be their reasons... Then let them go. I guess they will appear when we finish recording the confession.
Chapter completed!
