At this moment, Xiaoxingzhuang was full of joy, everyone was smiling and in high spirits.
Even the butler Xi Zhaoxi, who was usually serious and would not keep a straight face in front of Liu Zhe, also showed a happy smile.
News came back from Yuzhou that the lord Liu Zhe had won another battle. He defeated hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in one battle, captured supplies and captured countless prisoners. Now the army will return to Xiaoxingzhuang in a few days.
There are even rumors that there is great news, that is, their lord has become an official.
The emperor personally sent someone to read out the decree. From now on, their lord will be the governor of Youzhou.
This news plunged Xiaoxingzhuang into ecstasy. With Liu Zhe becoming an official, Xiaoxingzhuang will naturally rise with the tide. Nowadays, many people in Xiaoxingzhuang walk with their heads held high and their faces proud.
"Report!" Someone rushed in.
"What's the matter?" Xi Zhaoxi asked. He had just dealt with something. He was old and a little tired and wanted to sit down and take a rest.
"Butler, the Magistrate of Gaoyang County is here."
"He?" Xi Zhaoxi was stunned for a moment. The relationship between Cheng Mayi and Xiaoxing Village in Gaoyang County can only be said to be mutual use, not friends.
Although Ma Yi is greedy, he is different from other corrupt officials. He will get things done after receiving money, unlike other corrupt officials who take money and do nothing.
Since getting along with Ma Yi, Xiaoxingzhuang will send Ma Yi a big gift whenever he is in need and ask him to help. For Xiaoxingzhuang to develop into what it is today, Ma Yi still deserves some credit.
But Liu Zhe disliked him very much. In addition to taking the credit from Liu Zhe when they first met, Ma Yihui would also send people to visit Xiaoxingzhuang every year and festival. He had to give him money.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhaoxi thought about today. It was not a holiday. Could it be that he knew the news that his lord was going to be the prefect and came here to congratulate him? Xi Zhaoxi thought of this possibility. Liu Zhe became the governor of Youzhou and became Ma Yi's immediate boss. As long as Ma Yi had any brains, he would definitely come to congratulate him.
"Come here, get ready, let's go meet the county magistrate." The play caller ordered.
¡¡
Outside Xiaoxingzhuang, Ma Yi looked at the bustling scene in Xiaoxingzhuang with no expression on his face.
"Sir, you see, Xiaoxingzhuang is really rich." His master said flatteringly beside Ma Yi.
"Hmm." Ma Yi looked at the patrols coming and going. The weapons and equipment alone were worth a lot of money.
Of course, he also knew that Xiaoxingzhuang was very rich, because he could tell just by looking at the gifts Xiaoxingzhuang sent him. But now after seeing it with his own eyes, Ma Yi realized that Xiaoxingzhuang was not very rich, but super rich.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become eager. The reason he brought people here today was actually to ask for bribes.
He has actually been saving the gifts Xiaoxingzhuang gave him these days. When he has saved enough, he will go to Luoyang to buy a bigger official. However, when he wanted to set off, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and the roads were blocked and impassable.
What makes Ma Yi even more frightened and worried is that the Yellow Turban Army from various places attacked the city, burned down the government buildings and killed the officials. Ma Yi had planned to abandon the city and flee once the Yellow Turban Army came.
When Ma Yi packed his things and was ready to escape at any time, news came that Liu Zhe, the owner of Xiaoxing Village, defeated the Youzhou Yellow Turbans and pacified the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Ma Yi was relieved that there was no need to escape. News of Xiaoxingzhuang kept coming. Liu Zhe and his men defeated the Yellow Turbans somewhere, seized many supplies, and captured many prisoners.
From these messages, Ma Yi saw the shining money, so he became jealous.
With news coming from various places that the Yellow Turbans in many places had been wiped out and the roads to Luoyang were restored to smooth flow, Ma Yi's mind began to move.
What would happen if when you go to Luoyang to buy an official position, you still have a share of the credit for eradicating the Yellow Turbans?
This idea was out of control, growing crazily in his mind like weeds. Finally, today he took action.
"See the county magistrate!" Xi Zhaoxi led people to greet Ma Yi, interrupting Ma Yi's thinking.
"Play the housekeeper." Ma Yi bowed his hand and treated it as a return gift.
"The county magistrate is here to invite you." After inviting Ma Yi in to the theater, he exchanged greetings for a while and then asked him about his purpose: "I don't know that the county magistrate is here. What advice can you give me?"
After Ma Yi pretended to ponder for a while, he said: "The Yellow Turban thieves are powerful. I have been leading troops to suppress the thieves."The Yellow Turban thieves were recently defeated. I heard that Xiaoxingzhuang also encountered yellow scarf thieves, so I came to take a look. "
Xu Shu next to him heard a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He said it nicely. Judging from the news sent back by the bribed servants of Mayi, he had been preparing to escape. He also led troops to suppress thieves? What a big joke.
"grown ups!"
At this time, someone quietly walked up behind Xu Shu and told Xu Shu some news. Liu Zhe's intelligence department had already bribed and infiltrated everyone around Ma Yi, and Ma Yi's every move could not be hidden from Xiaoxingzhuang's eyes.
After hearing the news from his men, the sneer on Xu Shu¡¯s lips became even louder!
It turns out that I came here to seize the credit, and also planned to make a fortune along the way
