Wang Rong heard this and said in her heart: "I have been in the house since I was a child. I have been working hard in the house for more than 20 years. I have served the master and the young lady with all my heart. I have already regarded them as my relatives. That time when the young lady fell ill, I didn't sleep for three nights. , taking meticulous care of her before and after the bed. Later, the lady recovered from her illness, but I fell ill. Although I felt uncomfortable at that time, I was happy in my heart. I always felt that it was nothing to pay for my loved ones. But now , when I needed comfort the most, those relatives left me one by one, and the one beside me was Ma Desheng - this rough man that I had never laid eyes on..." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but burst into tears again. Down.
Ma Desheng immediately panicked when he saw it, and hurriedly advised: "Don't... stop crying! How harmful will it be if you cry too much?"
Wang Rong ignored it and kept crying. Ma Desheng saw this and said angrily: "Stop crying, I can't bear your crying! Did that Li Zhun bully you? Just wait, I will go to Jinling Mansion to settle the score with him!"
Wang Rong shook her head and said, "How could Mr. Li bully me? I only met him a few times."
Ma Desheng said: "Yes, I don't know what Li Zhun is thinking. Although he has not met you a few times, he wants to send someone to arrest you and take you to Jinling Mansion for interrogation."
When Wang Rong heard this, she thought about it, stopped her tears, and asked, "Why did Mr. Li want to take me into the house?"
Ma Desheng said: "I'm not sure. I heard that I suspected you... that you stole the master's general order."
Wang Rong snorted and said, "What a joke, what's the use of that general's order? Am I going to use the order to mobilize the patrol troops when I have nothing to do?"
When Ma Desheng heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "Did you really not get the general order?"
Wang Rong said sullenly: "If you don't believe me, forget it, let's just say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ma Desheng hurriedly apologized when he saw it: "No...it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Mr. Li and the others really suspected that you had stolen the general's order, mobilized the patrol troops, and stole 300 boxes of firecrackers from the firecracker factory in the north of the city."
Wang Rong said contemptuously: "It is said that Mr. Li is a smart man who can distinguish right from wrong. In my opinion, his reputation is just in vain. He suspected that I stole the general's order and stole the firecrackers from the firecracker factory. I just want to tell you where the evidence is." ?Does he have evidence?"
Ma Desheng said: "It is precisely because there is no definite evidence that they want to arrest you and go to Jinling Mansion for questioning. They had wanted to take action for a long time, but who knew that there was a sudden explosion in the arena, and the whole city was busy arresting the rebels. This matter I just let it go. I thought I could let it go, but the day before yesterday you had a conflict with the patrol at the door. Li Zhun visited frequently in the past two days to talk secretly with the master. Maybe he will think of it at some point. So I suggest you go back to your hometown and hide for a few days to avoid the limelight. When things calm down, I will give you a letter and you can come back."
When Wang Rong heard this, she was furious and said angrily: "You idiot, are you doing it for my own good or harming me?"
Ma Desheng was stunned and said with an innocent face: "What are you talking about? Of course I am doing it for you. Anyone can harm you, but I won't!"
Wang Rong said: "You haven't harmed me yet? If I really leave, won't I admit that I have a guilty conscience and must be a traitor to the party? I, Wang Rong, sit upright and have done nothing wrong, so why should I hide? "
"But...but everyone doubts you!"
"Nonsense, who doubts me? At most, it's just the random suspicions of the officials in Jinling Mansion. I don't believe that the master and the lady can doubt me?"
Ma Desheng heard this, but hesitated to speak. He pondered for a long time, and finally swallowed his words.
Wang Rong was so smart. When she saw Ma Shengsheng acting like this, she made a close guess in her mind and said in a trembling voice: "Ma... Ma Shengsheng, tell me the truth, why does Mr. Li...doubt me...for no reason... ...On top of my head is...did someone in the house say something?"
"This...I can't say this..."
Wang Rong said sternly: "Do you want to tell me or not? If you don't tell me, we will part ways and pretend we have never met!"
When Ma Desheng heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't... don't! I said, I said, isn't it okay? I also heard what my guards said. I don't know if it is true. I said it, so don't be angry! "
Wang Rong said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to say something, say it quickly!"
Ma Desheng nodded and said: "When the people from Jinling Mansion were searching a gathering place of the rebels, they found our general's order. That was where they hid three hundred boxes of firecrackers, so they suspected that they were from our mansion. I used the general's order to transfer the patrol troops in that area and assisted the rebels in stealing the firecracker factory in the north of the city."
Wang Rong smiled coldly and said: "What a joke, if the patrol army has been transferred, you can ask the person involved or check the duty records on that day. Why come to our general's house to question?"
Ma Desheng said: "Logically speaking, this should be the case, but the amazing thing is that the more than 20 patrol soldiers who were on duty that day were transferred out of Jinling for various reasons, or they resigned and returned home. As for The duty records that night were all normal, with no flaws to be found, so they could only look for clues from the general orders found at the scene."
When Wang Rong heard this, she frowned and said, "So, on the night the firecracker factory was stolen, someone really used the general's order to transfer the patrol troops, and then destroyed all the evidence afterwards."
Ma Desheng nodded and said: "The people in Jinling Mansion think so too, and this person must have an official background, otherwise it would be impossible to transfer all the sergeants on duty that night out of Jinling."
Wang Rong said: "Then you can't doubt me? I'm just a small manager in the general's mansion. How can I be in charge of the personnel transfer of the patrol army?"
Ma Desheng said: "The people in Jinling Mansion do not directly suspect you, but apart from the master, young master and eldest lady, you are the only person in the mansion who can have access to the general's order. So it can be inferred..."
Wang Rong was shocked and asked: "Does the master and the eldest lady think that I stole the general's order?"
Ma Desheng looked troubled and nodded slowly.
When Wang Rong saw it, her vision went dark and she could no longer stand. She hurriedly grabbed the white jade railing on the side to keep from falling.
When Ma Desheng saw this, he immediately stepped forward to help him, but was pushed away by Wang Rong.
"Don't... don't come here! I'm a spy of the rebel party now. If you get too close to me, I'll be careful not to harm you!"
When Ma Desheng heard this, he said loudly: "In my heart, you are definitely not a rebel! To put it in perspective, even if you are really a rebel, what does it matter? Don't say that you just stole some firecrackers and blew up an arena. Even if Tomorrow you are going to Chang'an to assassinate the king, and I, Ma Desheng, am willing to go with you!"
Wang Rong really couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. She smiled bitterly and said, "Keep your voice down! Are you trying to force me to become a rebel?"
Ma Desheng chuckled and said: "What I mean is that no matter what you want to do, I, Ma Desheng, will support you without hesitation. Even if everyone in the world is your enemy, I will stand with you."
When Wang Rong heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said to herself: "Ma Desheng is completely infatuated with me, but it's a pity that my heart is still with that enemy. Whether I can belong to you in the future depends on your fate."
