Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 143
Ma Shiying, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, knows that Fang Guoan is not an ordinary vulgar warrior. Suspicion and cunning are the most typical characteristics of this person.

So Ma Shiying boldly put the poisoned wine on his side and asked Fang Guoan to drink the glass of wine without poison.

Sure enough, as Ma Shiying expected, Fang Guoan's uneasiness and distrust of Ma Shiying prompted him to take the glass of poisoned wine from Ma Shiying's hand.

Seeing Fang Guoan's poisoned wine pouring into his throat, Ma Shiying felt relieved.

Ma Shiying knew that Fang Guoan's martial arts skills were not low, if he didn't poison him first, there was no way to take him down.

But now, he can easily subdue Fang Guoan.

Fang Guoan was greatly surprised by Ma Shiying's sudden shout, and instantly realized that he seemed to have been tricked by Ma Shiying.

However, just as Fang Guoan was about to draw his sword, he suddenly felt dizzy, his feet were limp like mud, his lungs were burning like fire, and his stomach was cramping. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat. He sat down on a chair and pointed at Ma Shiying: "Master, you! You actually poisoned me!"

"What do you mean I poison you? I'll pour myself a glass of poisoned wine, but you want to snatch it and drink it yourself. What can I do?"

Ma Shiying smiled lightly, sat down, and ate the delicious food on the table knowingly, while watching Fang Guoan, who was lying on the ground, rolling on the ground, clutching his stomach.

"Ma Shiying, you are so ruthless! For the sake of your own official position, you did not hesitate to kill Liu Liangzuo, and now you are here to harm me again, you will suffer retribution sooner or later, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Fang Guoan said through gritted teeth, his veins swelled violently, he wished he could chop Ma Shiying right now, but he was powerless, under the onset of toxicity, he had no strength at all.

"People don't kill themselves, not to mention, I gave you a chance, if you believe me, you will drink the glass of wine in front of you, you will be fine, and I will try my best to protect you, but you also doubt I," Ma Shiying said, picked up the glass of wine in front of Fang Guoan and drank it down: "Fang Guoan, Fang Guoan, you are to blame for this, but now Daming needs everyone to unite and fight against each other. People can only die!"

At this time, Ma Shiying's guards came in and were about to drag Fang Guoan out.

Ma Shiying gave orders: "Cut here, just to add to the fun. How can the table full of wine and food taste without the blood of the traitor?"

"Ma Shiying, you villain!"

Fang Guoan saw the gleaming knife placed between his neck, and couldn't help but yelled again.

"That's right, I'm a villain. Donglin Party and Zuo Liangyu all say I'm a villain. I'm a real villain, not a hypocrite!"

Ma Shiying continued to eat after speaking, and was not affected by Fang Guoan's screams at all.

After swallowing the last grain of rice, Ma Shiying got up and took the box containing Fang Guoan's head: "Prepare the sedan chair and enter the palace overnight!"

……

With a gloomy face, Ma Degong returned to his Zhenjiang General Military Mansion.

He was very dissatisfied with the current imperial court. He thought that after Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian moved south, he would rely heavily on officials from the south of the Yangtze River.

Even knighted and added officials.

But Ma Degong did not expect that His Majesty Zhu Youjian directly abandoned them and recruited a guard army alone, and even gave the best equipment to the guard army, and all kinds of military supplies were given priority to the guard army.

This made Ma Degong very disappointed. When he learned that Zuo Liangyu was about to raise an army to seek power and usurp the throne, he was quite supportive in his heart. In his opinion, Zuo Liangyu was not without anger when the imperial court looked down on them southern officials. Reasonable.

Ma Degong secretly sent someone to send a letter to Zuo Liangyu, as long as Zuo Liangyu hit the city of Nanjing, he would raise troops to respond.

However, what Ma Degong didn't expect was that the people from Dongchang had already targeted him.

Ma Jixiang, the leader of the East Factory, followed Ma Degong for several days, but since the assassination of Liang Yungou, many officials began to consciously live in seclusion, making it difficult for Ma Jixiang to find opportunities to kill Ma Degong outside.

Therefore, Ma Jixiang could only stay on the roof of Ma Degong's house for several days to observe and look for opportunities.

This day was the day when Ma Jixiang took his adopted daughter into his house. Although the gates of the entire Zhenjiang Military Mansion were closed, the inside was bustling with activity.

Ma Jixiang took advantage of this troubled water to fish and get in.

"Master, you are so bad!"

"Beauty, let me love you, master!"

A woman's panting came from a warm pavilion.

Ma Jixiang smiled secretly, sure that Ma Degong was inside, kicked open the door, and walked in with great strides.

Seeing that Ma Jixiang was dressed as a servant, Ma Degong thought he was his own servant, and couldn't help being furious: "Who let you in! Get out!"

Ma Jixiang smiled coldly, jumped up, and the Xiuchun knife chopped off the horse's head.

Ah!
Accompanied by a woman's scream.

Ma Jixiang came out with two heads.

……

Gao Jie arrived in Hangzhou.

After staying in Suzhou for a few months, he has gained a lot of weight now, he has a general belly, and even secretly raised five bedrooms outside.

However, he didn't dare to tell his wife, so he could only hide it for the time being.

Now that he came to Hangzhou, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to worry about Mrs. Gao finding out that he had raised a concubine.

Since Tian Xiong, the general soldier in Hangzhou, likes to gamble, Gao Jie went to various gambling halls as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou.

Helpless, he was unlucky, and he would lose every bet, and he lost a lot of money.

Madam Gao was naturally very angry when she found out, and she happened to know from the servant who brought her things back to Suzhou that there were several grandmothers in the mansion who were raised by Gao Jie in Suzhou.

So Madam Gao ran away, sitting in the main hall with a glaring knife in her hand, waiting for Gao Jie to come back.

"Your uncle, Tian Xiong, if you dare to win my money, believe it or not, I will hack you!"

Gao Jie spent a few days in the casino and gradually became acquainted with Tian Xiong, and the two agreed to gamble quietly on a flower boat in a secluded West Lake.

Now it happens that Tian Xiong has won Gao Jie's money.

In a rage, Gao Jie grabbed Tian Xiong's sleeve and said harshly.

Tian Xiong thought that Gao Jie was joking, so naturally he didn't take it seriously: "Hit me if you have the ability, come on, Mr. Gao, if you don't hit me, you're a coward!"

Gao Jie pulled out the knife from his own soldier's hand and slashed at Tian Xiong's head.

A click.

Tian Xiong's head rolled to the ground, his eyes widened, staring at Gao Jie.

Perhaps, Tian Xiong never thought that Gao Jie played cards with him just to kill him.

"I've never seen such a request. Don't blame me. You asked me to hack you."

After Gao Jie said that, he ordered someone to cut off Tian Xiong's head and send it to Nanjing for business affairs. At the same time, he directly sank Tian Xiong's body into the West Lake.

Then, Gao Jie returned to the mansion with Tian Xiong's gambling money and his own money: "I got back all the money I lost these days!"

However, not long after Gao Jie came back, the whole Gao Mansion jumped up and down.

"Ma'am, please forgive me!"

"Madam, please forgive me, things are not as you imagined, I am only for the sake of the heirs!"
