The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 374 The Identity of a Scholar

"It's not the right time yet. If you're worried, then kill Maji directly before Changsun Ji has finished planning. Anyway, you also know that Changsun Ji did this, but there is no accurate evidence." .Since the opportunity has been lost, let’s take this hidden loss first, lest the loss be even bigger.”

"If you are not worried, then let Ma Ji go and see how things will develop next. If it is possible, you can counter Changsun Ji, but in order to avoid accidents, you can stay with Ma Ji. Eyes. But always pay attention to the progress of things, and can directly cut off the development of things at any time."

The old man kept shaking the teacup in his hand, watching only a shallow layer of tea flowing in the cup, as if there were some wise words in it.

"Hmph, if the eldest grandson Lianyi is still in the capital, I would still hesitate, but he is only a child who is not yet fully grown. Since he dares to ask a question, there is no reason why I would not dare to answer it in Xinggong."

"Hey, don't underestimate him, and don't say such big words. So far, you have been at a disadvantage, that is, in a losing position."

"This chess game is not over yet, who will know who will win?" Xing Gong drank the hot tea in his hand and said slowly.

The old man in white smiled and did not speak, but raised his glass to drink up the remaining tea in the cup.

Ma Ji left the Xingfu, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Xingfu in his heart, but the other party was one of the three princes in the dynasty, he was a small captor and naturally he didn't dare to vent his dissatisfaction, so he just turned around and left out of sight and out of mind.

Originally, he wanted to take a rest, but after this delay, it was already a little late, and it was a little early for dinner now, but Ma Ji still bought some meat and vegetables by the way, and brought them home.

The sky was getting dark gradually, because after lunch in Changsun's mansion, it could be regarded as the second half, and he was not very hungry, he just took two simple bites, and Ma Ji put down his chopsticks.

After a brief rest, Ma Ji took out the long knife that had been straddling his waist and played with it in the yard.

When he was playing in full swing, there was a knock on the door suddenly, the sound was very hasty, as if there was something important.Ma Ji slowly recovered, walked to the door, and shouted to the outside: "Who is it?"

Because of his work, he has always been very cautious, and many of his seniors were stabbed to death in his own courtyard, so when someone knocked on the door at this time, he would naturally not go straight to the door and open it.

"Brother Ma, it's me, I'm Liu Hou." The voice from outside came.

Hearing the familiar voice, Ma Ji felt relieved, this Liu Hou was one of his catchers, he pulled it up with one hand, he was his dog's leg.

Ma Ji opened the door on his body, looked at Liu Hou's anxious face, laughed and scolded: "What's the matter? What happened? Look at you, I didn't tell you. No matter what happens, don't panic."

While talking, Ma Ji brought Liu Hou into the yard and closed the door.

"Oh, Brother Ma, what time is this? Why are you still talking about you? Didn't I rush to tell you as soon as I heard the news?"

"Then what happened, you will tell me then." Ma Ji asked with a wry smile.

"Brother Ma, do you still remember the scholar who was thrown to death by the horse when you cut the horse at the gate of the city a few days ago?"

"Remember, what's the matter. Haven't the scholar's family been found yet?"

"I found it, but it's better not to find it. That scholar is Li Pushe's son." Liu Hou said anxiously.

"Li Pushe? That Li Pushe?" Seeing Liu Hou like this, although Ma Ji knew something bad had happened, he still remained calm.

"The Li Pushe who can do it is Li Zhonglang and Li Pushe."

Ma Ji frowned. This Li Zhonglang was an official with a salary of a thousand stones in the capital, but he was deeply liked by Emperor Yan. Some things that the emperor was embarrassed to say were made by him, so Emperor Yan liked him very much. The influence is gradually heavier than that of the two thousand stone officials.

Over the years, this man has developed a lot of power in the court through the favor of the emperor.However, the emperor and his ministers were originally opposed to each other. In the process of being appreciated by Emperor Yan, he naturally hated many officials.

He suffered a lot of abuse from others behind his back. I don’t know if he did too many bad things or someone was attacking him behind his back. This man gave birth to eight sons one after another, but in the past few years there have been accidents, either dying of illness or falling. die, drown...

Under all kinds of accidents, only one son survived to adulthood under his protection. As a result, in the year of the catastrophe, he went out to give gruel with his mother, but came back seriously ill and died.

Thinking of this, Ma Ji couldn't figure it out, and asked: "Isn't Li Pu's shot already extinct? Where did his son come from?"

"Hey, I don't know, I just heard that people in Li Pushe's mansion said that the scholar seemed to be an illegitimate child left by Li Pushe when he went out when he was young.

In order to prevent accidents, when Li Pushe found him, he specially sent more than 20 people to pick him up, but this guy ran out by himself and came to the capital to find his father.In the end, for some reason, when I came to the capital, this guy didn't go to Li's mansion, but went to the city gate. On the way, he was startled by a juggler, and he rushed towards you, and you killed him directly. "

"Then Li Pushe didn't even know that his son came to the capital, so he didn't care about it at all. Until today, the servant who went out to pick up the man didn't pick up the man. When he returned to Li's mansion and told the matter, Li's mansion sent People came out to search, and they found the scholar's body."

"Brother Ma, you said that you slaughtered Li Pushe's last son under the nose of Li Pushe, and he will definitely kill you." Liu Hou said anxiously.

Ma Ji's face darkened, he suddenly felt that he was really unlucky, he was really sitting at home, and the disaster fell from the sky.

"Brother Ma, this is a never-ending hatred. Although his son was not killed by you, he died because of you. Do you think that a person like Li Pushe will forgive you generously? Why don't you take advantage of it?" Then Li Pushe is not ready to deal with us, let's run away, the world is so big, can he still catch us?"

Ma Ji walked around the yard for a few times with a cold face, and when he heard what Liu Hou said, Ma Ji shook his head and said, "No, I can't escape. Once I escape, Li Pushe will be able to deal with me better. With so many people watching in the capital, it would be inconvenient for Li Pushe to make a move."
