"I'll send you a team of men and horses, and I'll follow your command." Dingwu pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Starting from Wuping Mansion City, borrow money and grain from those gentry, if they are willing to take it out, I can give them the title, if anyone does not obey, I will give you the right to kill." Staring at Ma Hong's eyes, "Ma Aiqing, do you understand what I said?" ”

Ma Hong immediately said: "The ministers obey the order." ”

"I have given you power, and you have to give me an account." Ding Wu said: "Within half a month, I want you to raise at least two more months' worth of money and food." ”

Ma Hongwei was a little surprised, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus other expenses, two months of money and grain is already a huge amount, even if the gentry of Wuping Mansion are really willing to borrow money and borrow grain, it is impossible to pour everything they have, to raise money and grain that can support two months in half a month, unless it is to let go of the robbery in the gentry's house in the city.

Ma Hong has been in the officialdom for so long, and he already understands the meaning of Dingwu at this time.

Dingwu obviously also knew that the Qin State had come to the most difficult time, and it was very likely that the country would be destroyed, so in this case, it would be a desperate gamble to turn against the Hexi gentry.

Although Dingwu didn't say it directly, the meaning was clearly to let Ma Hong come forward to loot the gentry of Wuping Mansion.

How dare Ma Hong say a word at this time.

He and Lin Yuanfang had already planned, looking for a chance to get the jade seal, and immediately escaped from Hexi, but there was no good opportunity these days, and today the court discussion was dispersed, Lin Yuanfang obviously felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he was ready to do it.

When he followed Dingwu to the back garden, Lin Yuanfang did not leave, but crept far behind, and when he walked out of the house, Ma Hong had even seen Lin Yuanfang sneaking in the direction of Dingwu's study.

After Ma Hong came to the back garden, in fact, a heart has been in his throat, he is sleek and sophisticated, trying his best to hide his nervous emotions, but such a risky fight, one is not careful, he will be in a different place, he is really not nervous, the cold sweat on his forehead was wiped off, but there was a cold sweat on his back, blown by the autumn wind, cold to the bone.

He was scared in his heart, but he also faintly had a hint of expectation, just hoping that Lin Yuanfang would really be able to get the jade seal, as long as he walked out of this palace with the jade seal, he would naturally find a way to leave Wuping Mansion City as quickly as possible.

"Why, you can't do it?" Ma Hong was nervous in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and Dingwu had already frowned.

Ma Hong came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "The ministers must obey the will of the saints, and the ministers should go all out to raise it!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a miserable scream, the voice was very poignant, like a ghost howl, Zhao Quan, who was standing behind Dingwu, had already rushed in the direction of the sound like a cheetah.

Dingwu still looked very calm, and turned his head to look over.

Ma Hong heard the scream coming from the house, his heart suddenly sank, his legs were a little weak, and after a while, he saw Zhao Quan holding a knife in one hand and the back of a person's neck with the other, and walked over quickly, followed by two palace guards, with a big knife in his hand, and the cold light was shining.

When Ma Hong saw that person, he almost fainted, but it was Lin Yuanfang who was caught by Zhao Quan.

Dingwu's expression was still calm, and he looked coldly at Zhao Quan grabbing Lin Yuanfang and walking over, and when he got closer, Zhao Quan's arm moved forward, Lin Yuanfang had already knelt on the ground, and then a guard stepped forward and put the big knife on Lin Yuanfang's neck.

Lin Yuanfang's face was like ashes, his face was painful, Ma Hong broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, but saw that Lin Yuanfang's right hand was full of blood, and three of his fingers had been broken in half.

"Holy Lord, Lin Yuanfang stole into the study without authorization." Zhao Quan said in a low voice: "He seems to be looking for something, and he was injured by the organ." ”

Ten fingers connected to the heart, Lin Yuanfang's three fingers were broken, and the blood was dripping, which was naturally in severe pain, but at this moment, he could only endure the pain and tremble: "Holy Lord, the ministers are not looking for things, but going to the wrong place!" He was in pain, he spoke with difficulty, his face was pale and distorted, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

Dingwu smiled faintly and said, "After I dispersed the dynasty, I didn't let you stay, why didn't you leave?" ”

"The ministers have something to say to the saint, so!"

"I see." Dingwu immediately interrupted, "Lin Aiqing, I asked myself to be kind to you, I didn't expect that the national disaster was at the head, you were actually rebellious, you told me, what are you looking for?" ”

"Minister!"

"For now, I hope you'll tell the truth." Without waiting for Lin Yuanfang to say more, Dingwu had already interrupted: "I know that when you followed the first emperor, you sang praises and virtues, dared to say anything, and could say anything, but I am not the first emperor, in front of me, you still tell the truth, but there is a lie, I will make your life worse than death." ”

Lin Yuanfang was in pain, and said sadly: "Holy Lord, the ministers are guilty, please ask the Holy Lord to be merciful!" ”

Dingwu didn't look at Lin Yuanfang, but turned his eyes to Ma Hong, and asked: "Ma Aiqing, although you are not from the Criminal Department, you must also know the laws and regulations of the country, you come to tell me, what crime should Lin Yuanfang be guilty of breaking into my study?" ”

Ma Hong's legs were weak, and he knelt down, his whole body trembled, "Back to the saint, Lin Lin Yuanfang trespassed into the study, the crime is extremely heinous, and he should be executed!" ”

Lin Yuanfang immediately looked at Ma Hong and roared angrily: "Ma Hong, you! Without hesitation, he said to Dingwu: "Holy Lord, this is all Ma Hong's idea, the ministers are deceived by him, the ministers are confused, and the ministers are confused and deserve death!" ”

"Oh?" Dingwu smiled on his lips.

Ma Hong had already raised his head, staring at Lin Yuanfang, his eyes were full of resentment, and he said sharply: "Lin Yuanfang, you dog thief, blood spews people, I am loyal to the saint, how can I be as rebellious as you?" Xiang Dingwu arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, the minister really doesn't know about this, Lin Yuanfang is purely framed, this person is extremely evil, and he should be executed by Ling Chi." ”

"The surname is Ma, you want to get rid of the relationship?" Lin Yuanfang roared: "You dare to say that you don't know anything about this matter? On the Holy Sage, the ministers were bewitched by Ma Hong and wanted to steal the jade seal, he said that with the jade seal, he could still be prosperous and rich in the future, and he also said that the death of Great Qin was imminent, and he couldn't be buried for Great Qin! ”

Ma Hong was furious, he had already gotten up, stepped forward, raised his foot and kicked Lin Yuanfang over, and kicked Lin Yuanfang in the face, although he was born in a civil official, but the power of this kick was not weak, he immediately kicked Lin Yuanfang's two front teeth, Dingwu made a look, and the knife guard collected the knife and retreated, Lin Yuanfang was kicked to the ground, feeling that the knife on his neck was taken away, he was also angry, he didn't care about breaking his fingers, he rolled on the spot, he had already hugged Ma Hong's leg, and pulled hard, Ma Hong was caught off guard, and his body lost balance, He fell to the ground.

Lin Yuanfang immediately pounced on Ma Hong, raised his hand and hit, but Ma Hong also raised his hand, grabbed Lin Yuanfang's hand, and twisted hard, the two Shangshu masters of Daqin, at this time, were like two mad dogs, desperately tearing and scuffling on the ground, Zhao Quan and others looked coldly on the side, Lin Yuanfang had broken his finger after all, and was injured, Ma Hong quickly rode Lin Yuanfang under him, raised his hand and beat Lin Yuanfang's head violently.

Dingwu finally made a look, and Zhao Quan shouted loudly: "Bold, what kind of place is this, how can you be wild here?" ”

Ma Hongzheng was fighting hard, and was coldly drunk by Zhao Quan, sobered up, hurriedly got up, knelt down in front of Dingwu, bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "Holy Lord, the ministers are rude, ask the Holy Lord to condemn their crimes." ”

"Lin Yuanfang, come here!" Dingwu didn't look at Ma Hong, but beckoned to Lin Yuanfang, Lin Yuanfang's clothes were scattered at this time, the blood from the wound was stained on his body, embarrassed, knelt on the ground, moved to Dingwu, knelt side by side with Ma Hong, Dingwu leaned forward, but still beckoned: "Come to me." ”

Lin Yuanfang's whole body trembled, and he moved in front of Ding Wu, who stared at Lin Yuanfang's eyes and asked, "You said that Great Qin is going to die, why are you so sure?" If you want to take the jade seal, do you want to dedicate it to Chi Liandian, or to Chu Rei? ”

"The minister is guilty, this is not what the minister said." Lin Yuanfang quibbled to himself, "The ministers wish that the Great Qin will be unified for thousands of years, and the ministers will swear to be loyal to the Great Qin and the saints!" ”

"Do you know that compared to being sneaky like you, I don't dare to take on it until now, I prefer Red Liandian and Chu Huan." Dingwu smiled at the corner of his lips, "If you want to rebel and be blatant, that's a hero." Lin Yuanfang, you say to me now, I am incompetent, and Great Qin will eventually be defeated in my hands, as long as you say this again, I still think that you have a little courage, maybe I can spare your life, do you dare to say it? ”

Lin Yuanfang was already in a state of despair at this time, "Holy Lord, the ministers are loyal to the country, even if they die or die, they will not say such things!" ”

Dingwu frowned and said, "You really don't say it?" ”

"Ministers cannot obey orders even if they die."

Dingwu sighed and said, "How can I be surrounded by such courageless villains! As soon as his words fell, his right hand suddenly struck, like lightning, and his five fingers opened, and he was directly inserted into Lin Yuanfang's neck, Lin Yuanfang didn't expect that Dingwu would make a move in person, let alone that Dingwu, who was just disabled, could shoot at himself with his bare hands, Dingwu's five fingers, like five steel thorns, instantly disappeared into Lin Yuanfang's neck.

Lin Yuanfang's eyes burst out, Ma Hong's soul was scattered, he was stunned for a while, Dingwu immediately stretched out his arm, Lin Yuanfang's body flew away, and when he landed, there were five clearly visible blood holes on his neck, and the blood flowed out of the five holes, which was extremely terrifying, but Dingwu had already taken out a silk handkerchief from his body, gently wiped the blood on his fingers, and didn't look at Ma Hong, but said lightly: "Today's incident is just Lin Yuanfang's doing, and it has nothing to do with you, and I will not blame you." What I asked you to do, you do it as soon as possible, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation when the time comes, I said, since I am eating Daqin's money, even if my Daqin really wants to lose the country, then I have to go to the national disaster with me, if anyone is not willing to go down with me, I can only let him go first! While wiping the blood on his fingers, he turned his head to look at Ma Hong, "What I said, can Ma Aiqing hear it clearly?" ”

"The minister swears to serve Daqin, serve the saint, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!" Ma Hong pouted his ass and buried his forehead in the ground, terrified.

"Good." Dingwu threw away the blood-stained silk handkerchief, activated the wheelchair mechanism himself, and turned to leave, "Zhao Quan, chop up Lin Yuanfang's corpse and feed it to the dog, Ma Aiqing, you do everything yourself!" ”
