After leaving the county government office, the face of the General Secretary of the Communist Party suddenly became very ugly. In fact,... it is impossible to look good. He was slapped with ten big mouths. Now his cheeks on both sides became red, and his fingers were printed on his face. He turned to look at the three rural farmers following behind and cursed: "Isn't it for the sake of killing you three talents? Is it that I am humiliated?"

Three honest farmers just got beaten up, but now they are scolded by the officials of the Communist Party again. They are so scared that they are timid and dare not interfere.

Manager Qi turned around again, kicked Yang Chao and cursed: "You are useless, you are useless and don't know how to share my worries."

Seeing that Qi was in a bad mood, Yang Yue didn't dare to speak, so he stepped aside obediently.

"Zhu Ba, you are still useful. If you didn't ask the last question, I wouldn't know why I was beaten." Secretary Qi said with a frown: "This official's words are so tilted, how can I understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face and could not laugh at this time, otherwise he would be disrespectful to his superiors and could not comfort him, because how could his superiors need the comfort of his subordinates? This would cause him to lose his majesty. He could not even help him scold the county magistrate, because he dared not scold him. If you help him scold people, you would think that you are not big or small and do not know how to be a human being.

"Why did you think of asking this question?" said Qi Guanshi.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low-key manner: "The name of that book is a bit strange, so I was attracted to it. In fact, I didn't understand it very much, so I happened to ask." After gently introducing this topic, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and whispered: "Mainly in charge of the matter. It seems that we planted this fruit when we went to fight the people in Ren Village last time. This time, we seized the opportunity to take revenge. I don't understand only one place."

Manager Qi frowned and said, "Where is it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the high walls and thick doors of the county government office and whispered: "We clearly know that the people in Ren Village have the county masters of Chengcheng County as the backstage, and officials protect each other... Why do we still have to fight with each other? Shouldn't we get along well, right?"

Manager Qi sighed and said, "It was the second young master who ordered him. He said... the turtles in Ren Village dared to cross the border, so they beat them up to let them know that our Baishui Ma family is not easy to mess with. If something happens, he will take care of him... Huh? Yes, isn't something going on now? Let's go and find the second young master quickly."

The Qi family ran to his house quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart. According to the information he had returned from investigation, the second young master of the Ma family, Ma Zhibin, was completely a spoiled boy. It seems that this fight was completely out of his impulse. The Qi family went back to find the second young master of the Ma family, and I don’t know what else to happen... Well, I’m afraid that something will not happen, as something will be more beneficial to me!

An hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang followed Qi Shun back to the Ma family compound. Qi Shun sent three honest farmers home in advance. When the matter was resolved, they would come to "spoken sending". The three farmers were full of sad faces, as if they were not very disappointed with "spoken sending". In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that as soon as these three people left the Ma family compound, they would immediately go to the Li family, Sun family, or Zhang family. Anyway, they would just find a gentry family to "spoken sending" in. Now the sad faces on their faces were all for Qi Shun. They were not as honest as they looked on the surface. If they were really honest, how could they know how to "spoken sending"?

The Qi governor took Yang Chao and Zhu Yuanzhang to the gate of the front yard. This was the main gate of the Ma family, which was wide and high, painted in deep brown red. There was also a large plaque on the door, with two big words "Ma Mansion" written on it. These two words burnt the gold edge, demonstrating the wealth of the Ma family.

There is also a ten-meter-high stone pole inserted in front of the gate of Ma Mansion. The bluestone is made of material and the spire is divided into four sections. This kind of stone pole has a name called "Jinshi Pole". It is not qualified for anyone to insert it. If you pass the "Jinshi" exam, you will be qualified to insert one at the door. There will be someone who will be engraved on the pole, and you will be able to pass the Jinshi in a certain year. Now the carved on this pole is the name of Ma Tianyuan, the Jinshi pole that belongs to him. Unfortunately, his two sons did not insert two at the door.

The Jinshi pole is equivalent to a protective umbrella. If one is inserted at the door, it means that some people in this family have been an official, or someone is an official in the court. The young mouse should not provoke the family, otherwise they will not know how to die. Even if the local county magistrate sees this Jinshi pole, they have to bow to express their respect for their predecessors.

Manager Qi and Yang Chao looked at the Jinshi pole with envy on their faces. This thing represents the identity of the official. If one could be inserted in front of their own door...tsk tsk!

Zhu Yuanzhang followed them with envy, but he did not agree with it. In his previous life, he ascended the throne of the Supreme Nine Five as a mere cowherd, and the Jinshi pole could not see it in his eyes. Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang did not respect scholars. In fact, he understood the use of scholars very well. To govern the world, there must be scholars. This world cannot be managed by a group of illiterate people. The result of that is the second Yuan Dynasty.

The three of them stood at the front yard and did not dare to go in directly. The front yard was originally the office of the eldest young master of the Ma family, while the second young master could only manage the inner yard. Now the eldest young master has gone to Xi'an Mansion to manage the family industry there, and the inner yard of the front yard has been temporarily handed over to the second young master. The general manager of Qi smiled at the doorman and said, "Please inform the second young master, just say I have something urgent to come to him."

The concierge turned in, and after a while, he returned and hooked up at the manager Qi: "The Second Young Master asked you to go in."

The three of them entered the gate and walked towards the hall. Entering the door was the wide front yard square, with weapons racks placed beside the field. Several Ma Jiajiajia in green hats were moving in the yard. The avenue paved with blue bricks was paved from the door to the front hall. The manager Qi lowered his head and walked into the hall, shouting to the hall: "Second Young Master, Qi Cheng is here!"

"Come in!" The second young master's voice floated out of the hall. The three of them walked into the hall. They saw the second young master sitting in the head seat, and a maid next to him was hammering his feet hard. A fruit plate was placed by the table, and the apple that had taken a bite was circling around the plate.

Mr. Qi said with a bitter face: "Second Young Master, our family cannot accept the villagers who come to "spokenly" this year. At least one hundred acres of land should be collected less."

"Hmm? What did you say?" The second young master raised his legs and said dissatisfiedly: "Why? Are the villagers unwilling to send them to our house? Tsk, they don't want to vote, I don't want them yet, so I'll just make trouble for me."

The Qi governor quickly said, "It's not like this, it's Zhang in Chengcheng who made trouble in the middle." He quickly told the county government's encounter, and there was a lot of fuel to the fire, saying how he argued with reason, how he was slapped by the county magistrate, how he had a sudden inspiration, and thought that it was Zhang who made trouble in the middle... In short, after all, this story was told, he described himself as loyal, witty and brave. As for what Zhu Ba reminded him, he didn't mention a single sentence.

Zhu Yuanzhang was funny when he heard it next to him, but he didn't say anything. He just let the manager Qi take over this little thing, anyway, it doesn't matter to him.

Halfway through hearing this, the second young master couldn't stand up and jumped up. Until the Qi Manager finished speaking, he was already in the middle of the hall and was full of anger: "How dare Zhang, Chengcheng, dare to play this trick? Isn't it just a county magistrate? He dared to interfere in our family's affairs. Originally, a few "incredible letters" were optional, and I didn't take a hundred acres of land seriously. Since Zhang, Chengcheng, had caused trouble, I really had to."

The Qi manager was a knight. He knew that the second young master was frivolous and impulsive. When he saw that the second young master was impulsive again, he quickly said, "Second Master, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Just come to the door!" Master Ma Er smiled strangely and said, "He is an official, he has power, but his fists do not replace his strength. We have Wang Er in our family. Who can the Zhang family find out to fight against the enemy? Qi Cheng, bring Wang Er with you, bring more people, and use our family's banner to beat Zhang Douyao into a pig's head. Let's see if he dares to deal with our family's 'information'."

The Qi governor, Khan: "This... seems inappropriate? Attacking the imperial court's official is a serious crime."

"I'm afraid of him." Young Master Ma Er shouted: "My father has also been a court official, and the Jinshi pole is still stuck at the gate of the courtyard. His colleagues and students back then are now all important officials in the court. I beat a mere county magistrate, so I don't believe who dares to punish my family!"

"This... the master has indeed been an official in the court and has some connections in the court... However, the master has retired, and this person is gone..." Qi Guanshi advised: "I'm afraid some people are not very good."

The second young master was not willing to listen, and hummed, "He asked someone to slap you in the face, not just slap you in the face. The main purpose is to wipe out the face of my Ma family. This face problem is better than to surrender, and he will be called back no matter what he says."

Speaking of this, Qi Guanshi knew that he could not persuade him. He became a little scared. If he slapped him in the face and asked someone to beat the county magistrate of the neighboring county for these few slaps, he would be afraid that things would be a big deal. The result of the big deal would be that he could not handle it. In the end, the master took action and saved the second master with the face of an old Jinshi, but he would definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat... It was so miserable!

At this time, Yang Chao suddenly spoke, "Second Young Master, we can go and hit people in a mask, so that he doesn't know who will be beaten."

"You are idiot?" The second young master kicked Yang Chao over to the ground: "I hit someone with my face covering. Who knows that it was our Baishui Ma family who beat me? How can I give our parents face?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been standing behind him, suddenly spoke: "Second Young Master, the reason for this is that Qi was beaten, and Qi was represented by the face of our Ma family. In other words, if we want to wipe out Zhang Douyao's face, we don't have to beat him directly. Beating a court official is a serious crime, but the "Ming Law" does not say that beating a slave of a court official is a serious crime, at most it is a small matter of private fighting.

… Let’s bring a group of people into Chengcheng County. When we saw the people wearing Zhang family’s clothes, we caught and beat them. When we saw the Zhang family’s long-term workers, short-term workers, and accountants, we caught and beat them... The trouble made everyone in Chengcheng County know and everyone knew. The custody wiped out his face so that he lost his foundation. But he could only treat us with a small crime like fighting. Our Ma family could settle the medical expenses by paying a few dollars."

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang came up with this plan was because he had already seen that Young Master Ma was a playboy who was afraid of the world's chaos. What such people like most was such nonsense. Once they were brought up, they would definitely be approved.

Sure enough, when Master Ma Er heard this, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "It makes sense, good idea, just do it like this. What's your name? It's very clever!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be shy and said, "Zhu Ba!"

"Good, Zhu Ba!" Master Ma Er laughed and said, "I like someone like you who are smart and able to help me with ideas..." He turned his head and said to Shi Guanshi, "You are a good follower, so train them well."

The Qi Guanshi was also very happy. As long as he didn't beat the county magistrate, the matter would not be big. There was no need to worry about being pushed out as a scapegoat. So he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with gratitude and whispered: "Zhu Ba, you really saved my life this time."
