Chapter 280 Ma Rong's Movement
Ma Rong found an open space and put down the extremely heavy meteor hammer. Only then did he recover and bowed to Lin Yongzhong.
"Lin County Magistrate, it's really better to meet in person than to hear about it. I'm Ma Rong, the housekeeper of Li Shaoyin's mansion."
"A letter has come, and we can talk inside."
"Please wait for a moment." Ma Rong turned to the escort, "For follow-up matters, go to Li Shaoyin's residence in Luoyang to find Master Xuguzi, who will not treat you unfairly."
"It is our honor to work for Li Shaoyin. Why are you still talking about whether he treats us unfairly or not? Steward Ma, we'll go first."
"Thank you, Big Escort."
Ma Rong sent it out and then came back in a hurry.
When he saw Lin Yongzhong again, Ma Rong said bluntly:
"Lin County Magistrate, since you already know about my master's arrangement, you must start making arrangements in advance. Huang Wenyue, the county magistrate of Wuping County, must die in September. You should ask for permission to volunteer to go to Wuping County and take up the position of county magistrate."
Lin Yongzhong knew this very well. He pointed at the meteor hammer and the phoenix-wing gilded drill that Ma Rong brought over with an unfriendly expression.
"It is time for me, Xue, to take revenge on my wife and children who died tragically, my slaves who died tragically, and I will definitely take the lives of these six bastards!"
Seeing Lin Yongzhong's enthusiasm, Ma Rong couldn't help but say, "Young Master, what you mean is that if weeds are not completely removed, they will grow again in the spring breeze. Since you want to kill them quickly, don't let these bastards have the opportunity to think about the future."
"What does Mr. Ma mean?"
"Master said, kill them all, including chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. Don't let any of them live. The eggs must be shaken loose, the ant holes must be doused with hot water, and even the earthworms that come out of the soil must be split in half vertically!"
Zhang Yi, who had been wanting to take revenge for many years, was fascinated by what he heard and kept cheering for Ma Rong.
"Master, this gentleman is right, we must do as he says, we must take revenge!"
"Well, then let's take revenge!"
The matter of exterminating Huang Wenyue's entire family naturally still needs to be discussed.
The most basic thing in formulating a plan to wipe out an entire family is to find out all the circumstances.
First of all, we need to find out how many people are there in Huang Wenyue's family.
Ma Rong rested in the county government office for one night, and set out for Wuping County the next day to gather information.
The local people in Wuping County hated the county magistrate Huang Wenyue very much, so they wanted to find out the news very clearly.
In just three days, Ma Rong obtained a lot of information about Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue through surveillance and inquiries.
What made Ma Rong even more delighted was that he also heard news about Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan. After having lunch at a restaurant, Ma Rong found Du Er, the housekeeper of Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, on the street.
Watching from afar, he saw Du Er, who was also known as a wicked slave, leading a dozen servants from the marquis's mansion to act tyrannically, touching the legs of other girls, and kicking the tables of people who were eating. He felt furious.
"Damn it, people in the capital often say that I, Ma Rong, am an evil slave of the Li family, but I haven't done many bad things, right?"
"This man has behaved improperly and committed many evil deeds, yet he dares to call himself an evil slave. He is clearly a vicious dog, isn't he?"
The more Ma Rong thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to rush forward and chop off Du Er's head with a knife and kick it like a ball.
Thinking about Li Cunxi's arrangement again, he endured it and watched Du Er do evil everywhere.
Du Er showed off outside for most of the day before returning to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion with the servants of the mansion. After greeting Xue Qinglin, he went downstairs to take a bath and wash up.
Ma Rong took advantage of the night and moved along the eaves of the marquis' mansion. He finally found the house of Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan. He lifted the tiles and looked down.
I saw Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin tied up four or five women in the room and was about to give them an injection one by one.
Ma Rong became even more annoyed when he saw this. Although he didn't want to be exposed, he could only think of rushing into the room to rescue the woman while Xue Qinglin was about to take action.
Xue Qinglin quickly took off his pants and then started to strip the woman's clothes.
Just as I touched a younger woman, I saw Du Er coming outside the room and shouting inside:
"My Lord, My Lord, the county magistrate and his men invite you to come over."
Xue Qinglin raised his head in dissatisfaction, pushed the woman down, put on his pants, and followed Du Er out cursing.
Ma Rong didn't care about these women. He covered the roof with tiles, ran out of the house, and secretly followed Xue Qinglin to an inn by the river in Wuping County.
Coincidentally, Ma Rong stayed at that inn.
Seeing Xue Qinglin enter the inn, Ma Rong hurried back, found his room on the second floor, opened the window, climbed onto the edge of the bed outside, and squatted outside the window of Xue Qinglin's room.
There were a total of six people in the room. In addition to Xue Qinglin, Ma Rong also heard the voices of five other people. From their conversations, Ma Rong also learned that these were Xue Qinglin's sworn brothers.
After secretly listening to the useless greetings at the beginning, the people inside finally got to the point.
"Prince Liang sent a letter saying that Li Cunxi's so-called southern tour was actually targeting Jiangzhou, asking us to make plans early."
"Stop making such useless jokes. Li Cunxi is on tour on behalf of the emperor and heading south. This is the order of His Majesty. Why did Li Cunxi come to Jiangzhou for no reason? Isn't this a joke?"
"You thought Li Cunxi was joking with us by coming to Jiangzhou. You are the one joking with me. The letter from the King of Liang clearly stated that Li Cunxi came here just to kill us."
"What have we done wrong? Why should he kill us? If he kills us, His Majesty will not let him go. Li Cunxi is just a small official in Henan Prefecture, a fourth-rank official. Even if his official position is higher than ours, he is just a small bug that King Liang can crush to death at will. If he dares to attack us, all King Liang needs to do is make a slanderous remark, and His Majesty will definitely not forgive him."
Everyone was talking about it, and they didn't take Li Cunxi seriously at all in their words.
It was as if they had returned to many years ago when they framed Duke Huang Li Ai, and the life and property of the dignified descendants of the Li family were completely in their hands.
Ma Rong outside the window felt more and more furious as he listened, and his hand involuntarily pressed on the single-edged sword at his waist.
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard in the room again.
"Why are you still daydreaming here?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Li Cunxi is no longer the three-year-old child who allowed us to slaughter him. He is now a fourth-rank official in the imperial court!"
"Your Majesty thinks highly of Li Cunxi, and even gave him the title of Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, which was not a permanent position in the past and was only appointed temporarily in times of crisis."
"To put it bluntly, looking at the entire Luozhou, the only people who can control him are the current emperor and a few prime ministers. His status is so high, and you dare to speak so arrogantly here!"
"If he wants to kill us, it will be like crushing an ant!"
