People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 134 Ma Gui: He slandered me! He is slandering me! I never take bribes or take bribes or go to brothels!
Datong General Military Mansion.

Ma Gui has been having a headache since he received the invitation from Shanxi Chamber of Commerce two days ago.

Because Cao Zhengchun has been living in his mansion, he is actually monitoring him.

Who knows that Ma Gui's own family background is not very clean, and he saw that Cao Zhengchun controlled more than 10,000 Tatars so neatly.

In the past few days, he saw with his own eyes that the Tatars, under the control of Cao Zhengchun, wiped out Shanxi merchants of all sizes in Datong Prefecture.

More than 20 million taels of silver and valuable gold and silver jewelry, agate pearls, etc. were piled in the backyard of his mansion.

This made Ma Gui not only bow down to Cao Zhengchun in his official position, but also was shocked by Cao Zhengchun's methods.

After all, Cao Zhengchun is in charge of the two major spy agencies, Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Although his elite soldiers are all selected from the three major battalions, they are all smart and capable.

Under such circumstances, the Shanxi Merchants Association sent him a greeting card, saying that he was coming to see him, and he felt a headache.

However, Cao Zhengchun asked him to reply to the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and agree to their visit.

Ma Gui knew with his toes that the Tatars must have killed the Shanxi merchants in Datong Mansion in the past few days and their blood flowed all over the place. They also sealed the entrance to kill the tigers. The Shanxi Merchants Association said they were here to visit, but they were just here to question. .

After all, the Ma family has been rooted in Datong, Shanxi for several generations.

The Ma family has gained a lot of benefits from Shanxi merchants. Now doing this is tantamount to burning bridges across the river. How can Shanxi merchants speak kindly to them?

On this day, the Fan family, representatives of Shanxi merchants and one of the eight major Shanxi merchant families, came with heavy gifts.

The person who came here was quite young, he was Fan Renqing, the younger brother of the head of the Fan family.

Fan Renqing came as soon as he arrived, carrying large and small cars through the market. He even brought Ma Gui's eldest son and second son, Ma Chengzhao and Ma Chengxun.

Although Ma Chengzhao and Ma Chengxun were not playboys, they were quite close to people like Shanxi merchants.

The two of them were very anxious when they heard that their old father had somehow got into trouble and was actually involved with big conglomerates like Shanxi merchants.

Although our family is a general family, the Shanxi Merchant Group is very powerful, and it is very easy to manage our own family.

So Ma Gui's two sons, as soon as the Shanxi merchants mentioned it, they immediately followed the Fan family to lobby their father.

After a group of people chatted for a while, the guests and hosts took their seats.

As the commander-in-chief of Datong, Ma Gui was a second-rank military general in the imperial court. He controlled Datong, one of the important towns on the nine sides, and held a high position with hundreds of thousands of border troops under his command.

But this time he was sitting in the master's seat, with his back against the large screen with the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea behind him, and he was sweating.

Because the person sitting behind the screen was Cao Zhengchun, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.

This meeting was not so much that he wanted to meet the representatives of Shanxi merchants, but that Cao Zhengchun wanted to hear what kind of conversation they had.

Ma Chengzhao and Ma Chengxun came from a family of generals. They grew up in the military camp and talked carelessly.

After sitting down, he didn't be polite to his old father and just opened his mouth.

"I said, dad, what's wrong with you? We used to get along quite harmoniously with the major Shanxi merchant families.

Now that the Tatars are invading the border, you should have led the border troops to resist tenaciously and destroy them. Why did you let them kill and set fire to Datong Prefecture like this, causing public resentment and panic. "

Ma Chengxun continued: "Dad, it's not you who is the eldest brother. Although our Ma family has made great contributions in Datong Mansion for so many years, without the help and support of Shanxi merchants, our family would not be so prosperous.

Now we brothers are here with the second master of the Fan family. We just want to ask you, what do you think? "

Ma Gui looked at his two sons, actually speaking for Shanxi merchants, and wanted to slap them to death. What do you two little bastards know?
Behind me is the chief eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies. If I say anything wrong, our Ma family may fall into an abyss of eternal destruction. You are still here and carelessly say that the Ma family has a relationship with Shanxi merchants. Isn't this giving people an excuse? ?
This is simply self-inflicted.

Ma Gui had always said in front of Cao Zhengchun that although the Ma family had received some benefits, it was only the share they deserved, and there was absolutely no greed.

But when his two sons said this, no one would believe what he said before.

Cao Zhengchun is an imperial envoy, and deceiving the imperial envoy is no different from deceiving His Majesty the Emperor. That is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Just these words spoken by his two sons, if it is serious, can be directly convicted of deceiving the emperor, and then the whole family will be executed.

Ma Gui glared hard at his two sons. The majesty of his old father finally suppressed their chatter.

At this time, Fan Renqing smiled slightly and said: "Ma Junmen, we have no grievances in the past, no enmity recently, and we even have many connections.
Now we Shanxi merchants are under pressure from His Majesty the Emperor and Chen Han from the southeast. I don’t ask you to raise your hand, but I ask you to help me in consideration of your past kindness.

Of course, your help will not be in vain. This time our Shanxi Chamber of Commerce has raised a total of 20,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, 300 kilograms of Liaodong ginseng, and ten beauties, all of which are our thoughts.

I ask Ma Junmen to accept this idea and raise your noble hand and send troops to destroy the Tatars. In addition, the pass to kill the tiger must not be stopped. Please also ask Ma Junmen to withdraw your elite troops.

In the future, our Shanxi Chamber of Commerce will make another contribution. "

When Ma Gui heard this, big beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he cursed in his heart: Damn it, I didn't even think about it, you guys came to blatantly bribe me. Not clean anymore.

Cao Zhengchun behind him had a sneer on his lips.

Although there was no movement, for some reason, Ma Gui felt as if there was a coldness coming from behind.

Ma Gui immediately stood up seriously and was furious, "Who do you think I am? If the Tatars invade, I will naturally destroy them myself.

As for the additional troops sent to Shahukou, it is to search for smuggling.

I have always been honest and self-sufficient, and I will never take away their things or women. "

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his eldest son Ma Chengzhao said carelessly: "Dad, you really impressed my son today. I can hear such words from your mouth. We sons are all shocked. This is not like How you behave on a daily basis.

You usually pride yourself on your outstanding military exploits, your abilities, your skills, and your abilities. You hate these formalities the most.

You have always been disrespectful towards money and beautiful women. After all, you once said: If you don’t engage in prostitution or gambling, you will either be a eunuch or a dog.

Why don't you love money or beautiful women now? "

As soon as the eldest son said these words, Ma Gui's hair exploded, his forehead buzzed, and his eyes turned red.

He was so anxious that his buttocks were boiling: What are you talking about, you bastard? Did you know that there is a real eunuch sitting behind your father, and he is also the leader of eunuchs in the world?

When you talk like this, aren't you looking for death?

Sure enough, after Ma Chengzhao finished speaking, Ma Gui heard a louder breathing behind him.

Ma Gui was so frightened that he blurted out for no reason, "You are slandering me, you are slandering me. I have never taken bribes or visited brothels. Please don't slander me!!"

Seeing his old father's expression like this.

His two sons are really confused.

There is no one else here, why are you so excited?
