"The Tong family is really dirty."
Jiang Yankun scolded angrily and said to Ma Yiyang, who was sitting next to him, "Now that the Criminal Department is under your control, you should quickly arrange for a few reliable confidants to go to Cang County..."
After Jiang Yankun entered the cabinet, Ma Yiyang was already the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and now the entire Ministry of Punishment listened to his orders.
Ma Yiyang stood up immediately: "Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will definitely arrive in Cang County before the emperor's people."
Cang County is also part of the capital. It is only fifty miles below Yunyang County. It is the hometown of Dayan opera. When it comes to Cuiyulou, which became popular many years ago because of its good voice, everyone knows it. Xiao's.
Ma Yiyang knew that this matter was of great importance, and he did not dare to delay for a moment. After leaving Jiang Mansion, he got on his horse and hurried to the Criminal Department.
There are two heads of the Criminal Department under him, both of whom he personally promoted after the departure of University Scholar Jiang.
Mr. Jiang is good at everything, but his methods are not ruthless enough and he still follows the path of a scholar. He is really suitable for being in the cabinet, not the Ministry of Punishment.
Ma Yiyang is different.
He comes from a grassroots background and grew up in various religions and gambling houses on the streets. His good kung fu was acquired through the teachings of several thugs in the casino and his own talent.
There is a ruthlessness and gangsterism about him that makes people tremble with fear just by looking at him.
He is more suitable to be the Minister of Punishment.
This was also the reason why Jiang Yankun promoted him when he left.
Of course, the more important reason is that Ma Yiyang is loyal enough to the prince, the queen, and the Jiang family.
For those in power, the ability of those below them is second, and loyalty is the most important.
Not to mention that Ma Yiyang is a rare talent with both loyalty and ability.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
Several thin black horses galloped past the door of the Jiang family's main house. Ma Yiyang was a little surprised when he saw the endless stream of carriages at the door: "Is there any happy event in Governor Jiang's family recently?"
The two young men behind him stopped when they saw him reining in their horses and said, "Don't you know, sir? The queen's eldest cousin will soon be twenty years old. If she doesn't get married, she will be forced into a marriage by the government. The governor's wife has been actively looking at her recently and wants to marry Miss Jiang!"
It's just that the marriage contract between the Jiang family and the Su family was well known at first. In the end, the husband of the Su family became a monk and became a monk. Many families were not very willing to give their outstanding legitimate sons to Jiang Yunxia.
"I heard that those ladies are promoting their bastards, which makes the governor's wife very angry."
"Tell me, where do they get their faces? She is the queen's cousin. Needless to say, she is beautiful and talented. The key point is that she is also gentle and demure. The husband of the Su family would rather become a monk than abandon her to marry another woman. , which is enough to show that Miss Jiang is of noble character, they..."
"Xiao Zhong, be careful what you say!"
Ma Yiyang glanced at Xiao Zhong who was chattering away: "She has no relationship with the Su family for a long time. Don't compare the two again."
He raised the reins in his hand and said, "Let's go! The Queen's affairs are extremely urgent and there is no room for delay."
There are stone bridges and flowing water, flowers, vines and green grass. The corridors meander to the depths. Behind the circular arch, an exquisite attic appears.
In the woman's boudoir, a boxwood dressing table is inlaid with a round glass mirror in the middle, making the object clearly visible.
The person in the mirror has picturesque features and excellent appearance, as if the Guerlain has been carefully cared for and has bloomed her most beautiful petals.
"well……"
Jiang Yunxia had already sighed for dozens of times. She sighed so much that Jiang Yuncai sat up from the bed: "Why don't you tell your mother directly that you want to marry Ma Shangshu? Otherwise, if you continue to look at me like this, you won't be dizzy, and I will." Gonna faint."
There were four or five in a day, all of them concubines, and none of them were legitimate children, or the legitimate children asked their sisters to be concubines.
It was said that her sister had a bad reputation due to her marriage.
Her sister is innocent, virtuous and virtuous, how could she have such a bad reputation?
She really wanted to blow their heads off.
Jiang Yunxia blushed and said a little decadently: "As a girl, do I have to go to Ma's house to propose marriage first? I don't know if Mr. Ma is interested in me, so I told my mother so recklessly, what if she doesn't? Agree, don't you want to cause trouble for him? It's better not to say anything."
Ma family...
It's just an extremely ordinary family, not even a wealthy family in the capital. There is only my mother and a sister who has divorced her husband.
It is said that the brother-in-law loved to drink very much. When he was drunk, he would punch and kick his sister. At first, the sister kept it secret and did not dare to let Ma Yiyang find out.
But later, the scumbag brother-in-law beat him more and more cruelly, and the wounds on his sister's body were too numerous to cover up. When Ma Yiyang found out, he beat the scumbag violently, took him to the Yamen to write a letter of release, and had sex with him. Sister and divorce.
Anyway, later I heard that Ma Yiyang beat that scumbag when he saw him on the street, and threw him into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and tortured him severely. When he was released, he was already stupid.
With such a fierce younger brother, no one dared to marry his sister, so the delay has continued to this day.
How could the family agree to marry him to Ma Yiyang?
She didn't even dare to mention it, fearing that her father and mother would think it was Ma Yiyang who seduced her and go to him to settle the score, which would ruin his future.
With his family background, it is not easy to get ahead. If she is suppressed by the Jiang family because of her, then she will be guilty.
Cangxian——
Ma Yiyang successfully found out Lan Xiaolou's home according to the address given by Jiang Yankun, but he kept in mind that the emperor's people might arrive a few steps behind them. In this case, they would not have time to prepare for the queen. The empress covered it up.
So he stopped a few children who were walking in the streets and a few vendors at the entrance to the city, gave them money, and told them that if anyone asked where Cuiyulou's family was, they should point to Ji next door to Loujia Village in Cang County. Home village.
"Drive! Drive! Drive..."
Several horses galloping past left behind billows of dust and smoke. In the emperor's royal study, men's clothing was restored. Lan Xiaolou, who was still in stunning shape, stood in the center, slightly bending his straight back. The emperor did not speak, he Nor did he speak.
After a long time, the emperor smiled: "Should I call you from the Cui family, or from the Lan family?"
Lan Xiaolou lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt straight on the ground: "To tell you the emperor, the common people's surname is Lou."
Emperor Xuanwu didn't care what his last name was, he just spoke first to break the silence.
"How old are you now?"
Even though she knew he was as old as Yue'er, she still asked him how old he was. Lan Xiaolou knew as if the emperor was chatting with him, but in fact he was using simple questions to relax his vigilance.
Once he is deluded, the real problems begin.
"The common people only turned nineteen in March this year."
"How many people are there in your family?"
"Caomin's parents died young and he is alone with no relatives at home."
