Chapter 432.

By this time, many people had already begun to go out in all directions to look for this scholarly man.

Obviously, however, the efficiency of these people, but it is quite low, far less than the factory guards.

It’s a pity that the person who is looking for the Scholarship Gong will definitely not get involved with the factory guards.

Ma Yu heard that someone next door was inquiring about him, but he was pleased with himself, he had his own way of dealing with it.

Instead, he leisurely returned to his study and meditated on what he would do next.

The bulk of the cargo, from the start of shipment to berthing in the port, and then sold back, as well as the interest of the bank and the settlement of the various merchants.

There are so many things to finalize on your own here, and a mistake at any point can be fatal.

“Hey …… just hate that there are too few readers in the various clans.” Ma Yu sighed and muttered again, “If there were more readers, that would be good, and some friends could be made everywhere, even if they provide some information.”

Ma Yu said, shaking her head with a look of regret.

Ma San said, “Young master, I did hear that this Taiping Province is catching readers everywhere.”

“How is this called catching.” Ma Yu smiled and said, “It’s called letting the readers find a little something to do, called loyalty and filial piety.”

Ma San said, “I actually don’t understand, I only know that inside and outside of this Taipingfu, no one dares to wear a spandex scarf easily and wear a Confucian shirt anymore, just for fear of being thought of as a scholar and being arrested for loyalty and filial piety.”

Hearing this, Ma Yu laughed, “Interesting. Wouldn’t that be the same as me, although I have a title in my body, but looking across the board, I don’t look like a scholar?”

Speaking here, as if he suddenly remembered something, he slammed his head and said, “There, I have a new idea.”

Saying so, with an excited face, he said, “Come, give me pen and ink to repair the book.”

Ma San said somewhat reluctantly, “Young master, the old master’s side, should we return a letter ……”

Ma Yu vainly put away a few points of interest, shook his head and said: “Now is not the time, if he knows that I resigned from the government, the necessary fire, have to run to the capital to beat me up”.

Ma San cried and said, “When the time comes, I am afraid that I will also have to break my legs, oooh oooh …… my legs are gone.”

Ma Yu was silent and ignored it with lowered eyebrows and a pen.

……

Wen Yuan Ge.

“Has Ma Yu found it?” Hu Guang almost every other day, he had to look for the Sheriff to ask.

And the sheriff is every time the answer is: “Have let the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are sent to seek, just …… in any case can not find, but also issued a reward.”

Hu Guang frowned and said, “In this universal world, is there no one who saw him?”

The Sheriff cried and laughed and said: “Back to the words of Hu Gong, not no one saw, but since the award of the bounty has been issued, said to see the people is too much. Just ten days time, each place to report, said to find its trail of clues have more than a thousand, and so the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the people one by one to verify only to find that …… the vast majority of …… are just catching the wind and catching shadows…. …”

When Hu Guang heard this, he said angrily, “Why is it so easy for the Brocade Guards to find someone?”

“This ……” that the Sheriff said: “Jin Yi Wei is not the same, people have specialized …… called what what intelligence analysis, they also collect clues, but there are Specialized intelligence thousand households, screening all the messages, and everywhere are deployed ears and eyes, the news to be much more reliable, or not, Hu Gong under a note to the Wuhu County King ……”

Hu Guang quickly stopped it, “Wouldn’t that be a sheep in a tiger’s mouth? Who is Ma Yu? This Ma Yu cursed Zhang Anshi many times, have you heard that the Han and the thieves cannot be separated? Ma Yu noble, the temperament must be strong, the scholar, the bullying is surely there. If you really let the Imperial Assassins to investigate, this Imperial Assassins found out some of his deeds, who knows whether they will be poisoned? Even if Zhang Anshi is generous, he can’t help the people under the Jinyiwei from having crooked thoughts.”

“The next official understands. However, I heard that now everyone in the readers are in danger, the former has the brocade guards to catch the readers, and the latter has the Scholar Gong disappeared without a trace ……”

Hu Guang sighed, “Hey …… keep searching.”

He only sighed, but he was getting more and more worried about the current situation.

The sea trade in Taiping Province finally began with the launching of a sea vessel.

Soon afterward, Zhang Anshi also issued a royal edict to protect all merchant ships within the four seas of the world.

This kind of protection is not only for the vassal states, but also for the seafaring merchants of the Great Food, or the seafaring merchants of Tianzhu.

And at this time, the most satisfied is the Tang King Zhu Qiong Jin, who built a city in Malacca, and after he came to the capital, he immediately felt keenly that his good time had come.

Malacca has a lot of Han people, but here against the narrow, the natives are also very much, if not rely on the kings with Annam, Zhenla and other places in each other’s horns, may really want to be the mountains of the natives to be driven down to the sea.

As a result, his pioneering progress was not fast, and now he has only built three cities, while Malacca, connecting the Tianzhu Sea with the Western Ocean, is an important sea channel.

This means that many of the sea ships of the vassal state, may be in his vassal land docking relay, not only this, a large number of great food sea merchants and also the sea merchants of the Tianzhu, once you can transit here, the future of their own vassal land, the greatest gains.

The other clans, too, had already prepared large quantities of goods and were only waiting for the ships of Taipingfu to come.

Time is a business opportunity, and as soon as the ship went down to the sea, there were merchants and businessmen who took advantage of the opportunity to carry a large amount of goods and sailed out to the sea at a rapid pace.

This Songjiang port, a moment of ships gathered.

Dozens of dockyards, in an uncharacteristic desperation to improve processes, especially manufacturing, in order to build ships.

The original shipbuilding in the Lower Seas, which already had a large reserve of skills, is now being lured by gold and silver, and the level of management of this manufacturing has grown higher and higher.

The first sea ships of merchants and traders have already set sail.

As if a group of crab-eaters, nowadays, all up and down the Taiping Mansion seem to be waiting for some news to come.

By the end of the 18th year of the Yongle.

Chen Li lamented that nowadays there are fewer and fewer readers, the scholar is in ruins, even if there are readers, they refuse to go out wearing a spandex Confucian shirt, it is really difficult to recognize.

Zhang Anshi, however, had to comfort him, the road is winding, but the future is bright, there will always be a time when the readers will be exhausted, and sent to the land of the four seas in flames so that they can fulfill their filial piety and loyalty.

As long as the court still open the imperial examinations, there is no worry that the readers do not go to the capital, even if they go to the capital, they hide their identity, but once the list is released, not afraid that they do not go to see the list.

Catch people under the list, that is the effect is remarkable, high school people naturally let them go to the government, the name of the person who fell, can be directly after probation, sent to the sea.

Just then, an old man entered the capital.

The man was wearing an old shirt and a tattered spandex scarf.

It was a good thing he was so old that no one was interested in him even in this getup.

Jinyiwei like is the kind of young and strong readers, not this kind of sent on the boat, maybe to the place to eat a seat of the old Confucian.

This old Confucian with a sad face, under the care of an old servant, and a young man, first arrived at the Temple of Fu Zi.

This young man was his youngest son, named Ma Chao.

And this old Confucian, surnamed Ma Yang Ming.

Although he called Ma Yang Ming, poetry and calligraphy family, but the luck is not good, read a lifetime of books, but did not make a name for himself, in fact, but an old boy just.

Reciprocal family business, I do not know whether it is poor management, or bad luck, these generations, has not been as prosperous as before.

But even so, the thin camel is bigger than a horse, the Ma family still produced talented people, such as his eldest son Ma Yu, high school scholar.

The news spread to Shandong, Shandong Buzhengweiwei Division of Buzhengwei as well as the school government, in person to the Ma family visit, which can be the entire Shandong Buzhengwei Division of hundreds of years have not seen the fortunate event, in one fell swoop reversed the blank of the northern people without the Scholar.

At that time, Ma Yang Ming was very happy, ancestor virtue ah!

But he was not happy for long, but he learned that his son, resigned.

Another person from the Ministry of Justice, went to Shantung to find and inquire whether Ma Yu returned home.

Ma Yang Ming was shocked at that time, and just anxiously waited for news, but Ma Yu was nowhere to be seen, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Although also repair a letter back, but this letter is also incoherent, only said that do not want to be an official, want to do something of their own.

Horse鎵悕, he …… can t take it.

So stayed at home for several months, anxiously looking forward to the family letter, after a few disappointments, Ma Yang Ming finally decided, with the whole family, into the capital to find his son.

Came to this big capital city, Ma Yang Ming face pathos, in the Fu Zi Temple of the inn to live, immediately let his second son Ma Chao around to find fellow townsmen, to ask for news.

And heard the old Mr. Ma arrived in Beijing, this is concerned about the horse Yu’s fellow townsmen, the same year, and even a number of the temple on the Gun Gongs, all come to the name.

Some are purely out of sympathy.

Some, on the other hand, also wanted to find out something from Father Ma.

There are people who think that although Ma Yu does not know the whereabouts, but at least it is the scholar, maybe in the future people find, as usual, there is still a wonderful future, at this time it is better to burn a cold stove.

Certainly not without purely out of concern.

For a while, the small inn, cars and horses like a dragon, and even the Ministry of households, Xia Yuanji, also hurriedly came to a trip, and the horse father spoke for a while before leaving.

As for other court officials, what the Hanlin, the Imperial Historian, and even the various ministries master, Langzhong, there are actually quite a few.

Many of the high school graduates with Ma Yu also came to pay their respects.

Ma Yang Ming mixed feelings, his own son if unharmed, this life, should also be the same as them, and may even be, the future than they are even more far-reaching.

But today ……

He had old tears in his eyes several times and tossed and turned after one of his tears.

This was followed by visits from some of my fellow townspeople.

When you arrive in the capital and hear the accent of the countryside, it is natural that you will inevitably feel extraordinarily close.

“How could there be no news at all? How could such a big man, in good time, disappear?”

Ma Yang Ming shivered his lips and mumbled with a saddened look on his face.

And Ma Chao, who was standing on the side, also said worriedly, “Father, something won’t happen to elder brother.”

He said this, Ma Yang Ming immediately stormed, raised his staff to hit, scolded: “Bastard, your brother had an accident, what benefit do you have? You this bastard thing, usually only sneak and sneak, reading and did not grow, the Ma family without your elder brother, will be defeated in your hands.”

Ma Chao then ducked, while saying, “I just said it off the top of my head ……”

The fellow villagers then came to stop them, saying, “Ma Gong rest in peace, rest in peace …….”

“This is not the way to solve the problem, just go home and fight again.”

Ma Yang Ming panting, red eyes, pathos: “I suffer, I suffer ah, I read a lifetime of books, but is an old boy, can not raise his head, it is not easy to have a child of interest, and now …… it is gone. I there is the most well-behaved, for the most people, good end, how to be gone …… oooooooo ……”

Whimpering and tearing up.

Ma Chao muttered sadly: “Originally the family is not, this time into the capital to come, along the way expenses, are selling the family seven or eight acres of land to raise the coils ……”

At that moment someone finally said, “Lord Ma, I’m only asking you if you’ve heard of something.”

Ma Yang Ming looked at the person with a solemn look, busy collecting tears, said, “What is it?”

“And you didn’t know that no one had told you before?”

Ma Yang Ming shook his head in a bewildered manner.

“Hey, it looks like everyone is just being smart again and refusing to tell the truth ……”

Ma Yang Ming listened to this more and more worried, seriously said, “You say it, we country folks, if there is any news, do not hide it from me …… I …… I will kowtow to you.”

That fellow countryman was horrified, and waved his hand hurriedly, “Fold me, fold me, okay ……”

This person’s heart, stomped his feet and said: “These days, the Brocade Guards around to catch the readers, trafficking and selling out of the sea, a lot of readers, have suffered unintentional disaster. This miserable, really is difficult to say. In fact, many people are skeptical, is not Ma Nian brother, he was arrested by the Brocade Guards, sent to Java.”

Ma Yang Ming shivered violently and said incredulously, “He’s a Scholar Gong, so he shouldn’t be like this.”

“What wouldn’t the Brocade Guards dare to do all these years!”

Ma Yang Ming added: “But he still repaired the book back to his hometown ……”

“You do not know, the brocade guards are very cunning, arrested people, they teach people to repair the book back to their hometown. There is also that Java, you know do not know, just recently rumored some secret news, said that when Java deceived a lot of readers to go to the place, will be sent to serve in the corv茅e, but also teach them to repair the book, all the letters, but also need to go through the inspection, only allowed to speak good things, if you say what bad things, the need to be a disaster.”

Hearing this, Ma Yang Ming’s heart thumped violently, and then he said with a face full of horror, “In that case, my son, in all likelihood, was taken away by that damned Java, or the Brocade Guards?”

“Can only say that eight or nine is not very close to it. Just this matter, the brocade guards in the name of what loyalty and filial piety, and the readers in this obscene power, dare to be angry and dare not say, hey ……”

Ma Yang Ming’s eyes glared, violently slammed the case, bursting into a rage, “What dare not speak? My son is gone, do they think I will be afraid? If you have the ability, then kill me, really not, kill my whole family, this young son Ma Chao chopped up and fed to the dogs, if I frowned at this, I would not be considered a saint’s disciple. As long as my Yu’er can see the light of day again, even if the Ma family dies out, it’s just a matter of the size of a sesame seed!”

Ma Chao: “……”

He’s got this zinger!

The townspeople then talked: “Yes, how many lifetimes of virtue have been accumulated to produce such a scholar …….”

“Ma Gong …… this matter, I’m afraid I have to ask Duke Hu or Duke Xia in the temple to see if they are willing to make the decision ……”

“I see that Duke Hu and Duke Xia are useless, after all, the person is gone, and there is no real evidence is taken by the Brocade Guards, Duke Hu and Duke Xia are no longer willing to help, as long as the Brocade Guards denied, and what can be done about it?”

Ma Yang Ming huffed and puffed and slapped the case, “Other things, I don’t care, I just want my son, for Yu’er, I don’t care about anything, he Jin Yi Wei is terrific, then I’ll make a mess to the point where it reaches heaven.”

The crowd said, “I’m afraid no one cares about this.”

Ma Yang Ming sneered, “Loss you are also Shandong people, actually do not know, we Shandong …… but there are ways to deal with these people.”

The crowd wondered.

Ma Yang Ming also stopped talking, his eyes burst out with a firm gaze, as if he had made up his mind about something, like an old monk sitting down.

…………

Wuhu County King’s Mansion.

Outside the royal residence, there are many people coming and going, some of them are summoning orders, and some of them are coming to ask for an audience.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

Suddenly three people drilled out.

The first person was none other than Ma Yang Ming.

Ma Yang Ming walked in the forefront, and the one who fell a step behind was the trembling Ma Chao.

When Ma Yang Ming reached the outside of the royal residence, he turned back to Ma Chao and said, “Chao’er, give something to old man Yang out.”

Ma Chao had been so scared that his teeth cackled, and said with a bitter face, “Father, you have to think clearly, even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for your son.”

Ma Yang Ming was trembling with anger, gritting his teeth and saying: ”Do you still want your elder brother or not? You animal, how much is your life worth? Do you …… think the Ma family can still count on you? As long as your brother has a chance of survival, even if we all die without a whole body, broken into tens of thousands of pieces, it is also worth it, hurry up!”

“Father ……” Ma Chao wailed and sobbed.

But in the end, the insistence was too much, but he obediently opened his traveling bag, and then drew out a huge silk portrait.

At that moment, he heartily propped up the silken portrait on a pole under Ma Yang Ming’s fierce gaze.

The guards of the County King’s House at the door were feeling strange and were about to go forward to interrogate them.

But when he took a closer look at the flag coil, he suddenly changed color.

But see that the flag, Huran is a portrait, the portrait of the person …… and not to mention, but the words on the top, we are recognized, on the book: the Royal Emperor Taizu high emperor like!

The guards were so shocked that they couldn’t speak at once.

Afterwards, there was Ma Yang Ming’s roar: “Emperor Taizu is here in person, everyone come to see, Emperor Taizu, open your eyes, look at how the scholar was killed, look at the world there is no king’s law, ah, give back to my son, give back to my son.”

He made this call.

Suddenly, the people around them were appalled and hastily retreated to the side.

Even the guards of the royal family, also dare not come forward, stumbling, but there are also smart people, quickly turned around, crazy like to run to the county king’s house.

The portrait of Emperor Tai Zu Gao, with the display, but the flagpole is trembling, but the flag of Ma Chao, body like sifting chaff.

Every howl from his father made him feel like he was one step closer to being thwarted.
