Chapter 929 You deserve it too?
In the lobby of the Governor's yamen, Governor Zhang Tongchang sat upright on the chair of the Grand Master who was sitting next time. He took off his official uniform that was damaged by a whip and temporarily changed into casual clothes.
Ma Jixiang rushed over angrily, and before he saw him, he heard his voice: "Mr. Zhang, what do you want to do?"
Before Zhang Tong could open his mouth, Ma Jixiang, wearing a python robe and jade belt, had already sat on the chair Zhu Cixuan had just sat on, as if the leader was asking his subordinates an aggressive attitude: "I heard you beat our family?"
Zhang Tongchang said calmly: "Two villains beat horses and trampled on the people, insulted the life officials, and only punished them a little."
When he heard the word "little man", Ma Jixiang, who had just stopped breathing, almost burst into tears. He stared at Zhang Tongchang like a cow's egg.
It took a long time to say, "Okay! OK, Lord Zhang, you are so brave now. It's a bad thing to beat the emperor!"
Zhang Tongchang sat there quietly, silently, thinking in his heart how to lead the old eunuch to the bait.
Ma Jixiang thought this guy looked down on him and became even more angry when he was aroused. He said in a tone: "Are you insisting on competing with our family?"
Zhang Tongchang smiled and said, "I have never been in the same circle, how can I compete with each other?"
"Working with the flow? Lord Zhang, what do you mean?" Ma Jixiang said calmly.
Zhang Tongchang snorted coldly: "The roads in Tongguan, Weinan, Huazhou, Hanzhong, and Xing'an were supervised by your Xijing Governor's Governor's Governor's Office? Last year, a flood in Shaanxi was destroyed!"
Ma Jixiang hummed twice and said, "Those roads were built by your government, and if something happens, your governor's yamen will be responsible for it. What's the matter with us?"
Zhang Tongchang raised his tone and shouted, "That was accepted by you!"
Zhu Cilang, who was behind the screen, suddenly felt shocked when he heard this.
"Tsk tsk, Zhang Futai is so majestic. So what if it is accepted by our family?"
Ma Jixiang's meaning is very clear. The court's punishment is also the crime of your governor's yamen, and we are not responsible for our eunuchs.
Zhang Tongchang said: "Do you don't care about the people of the world or the royal family's grace? If you do this, Ma Jixiang is not afraid of attracting evil to the royal family or to infamous the emperor?"
Ma Jixiang didn't expect that Zhang Tongchang was so ungrateful. He screamed in anger, shocked and angry: "I'm the last name of Zhang, you are rude! What qualifications do you have to teach our family a lesson?"
He suddenly stood up, pointed at the sky, and said loudly: "It's not your turn to say the word "people in the world"! The three capitals and eighteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are carried on His Majesty's shoulders, and on our shoulders!"
Zhu Cilang was so angry that he began to tremble. Is this the slave he raised? He became greedy and arrogant!
He hated domineering people the most in his life because he was a domineering person and was very sensitive to other people's domineeringness.
I heard Ma Jixiang say again: "Mr. Zhang, our family is only asking you one thing now. Are you determined to go against our family?"
Zhang Tongchang smiled slightly, was silent again, and sat there no longer answering words.
His purpose has been achieved, and he is too lazy to vent his anger with this old eunuch. If as expected, the tyrant behind him is on the verge of furiousness.
The eunuchs were not greedy, but they were cold-hearted and would revenge them. Ma Jixiang snorted coldly: "Do you, the chief official, still want to do it?"
Zhang Tongchang glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Do you want to do it or not, it's not your final word!"
This sentence was like a deliberate provocation, which made Ma Jixiang very angry. He said sinisterly: "You are ungrateful! The surname of Zhang is just a governor of a province. We have a way to do it!"
Zhang Tongchang was unwilling to be outdone and said, "Oh? That official is waiting for you to do it!"
Previously, Zhu Ciyang was so angry that his lungs were so painful by Zhang Tongchang's words. When he heard this, he added fuel to the fire. What qualifications does Ma Jixiang, a eunuch, have to appoint and remove the governor of a province?
The horse whip in his hand hit the screen with a slap, and Zhu Cilang angrily shouted: "The unruly slave, be arrogant!"
Ma Jixiang was shocked and subconsciously shouted: "Who is eavesdropping on our words? Get out!"
Zhu Cilang walked out from behind the screen with a black face, and slowly came to Ma Jixiang like an angry tiger.
After seeing the person clearly, Ma Jixiang's face turned pale. It was obvious that Zhu Cilang's sudden appearance made him stunned.
Before, Lao Ma was sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair, but now he has become lying down. He was scared and slid down like mud.
"When will it be your turn to carry it on your shoulders in the Three Capitals and One Eighteen Provinces of the Ming Dynasty? You are worthy of this dog?"
Zhu Cilang shouted softly, and whipped Ma Jixiang with a whip, squeezing him.
"Emperor...Emperor!"
Ma Jixiang knelt down all of a sudden. In his spiritual world, he was a lion, looking at the beasts in his clothes!
However, when facing the real master, he realized that he was just a dog! A dog that could be whipped by his master at any time!
"Ba!Ba!Ba!"
Zhu Cilang whipped seven or eight whips, making Ma Jixiang's back bloody and fuzzy.
He shouted with a calm face: "What qualifications do you have to deal with the governor of a province? Who gave you the ability?"
"I'm wrong! I'm wrong! I'm wrong! Please spare my life!"
Ma Jixiang endured the severe pain and threw his head on the ground, which was extremely fast, and kowtowed while admitting his mistake.
Suddenly, he stopped, reached out and slapped his old face hard, and said, "I deserve to die, this world belongs to the emperor. I have no ruthless dog barking, I deserve to die!"
Then, Lao Ma fired his bow from left to right, constantly slapped and self-harm. He was not polite at all, and he kept slapping his mouth full of blood.
He knew very well that if he did not take remedial measures, his life would be confessed here and he would not be able to turn over for a lifetime!
Zhang Tongchang's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself that this old eunuch was cruel to others and even more cruel to himself. In this case, I am afraid that the emperor would spare his life if he thought of his old love.
However, Zhang Tongchang did not interrupt. The more this time, the less he could show strong hostility, otherwise the suspicious emperor might doubt himself...
The officialdom is complicated, so there is no truth to speak of. Everything depends on the mood of the person.
Zhu Cixuan whipped more than a dozen more times. Seeing Ma Jixiang's miserable condition, his anger was vented a little, so he stopped and asked, "Kneel aside and talk about corruption in road construction!"
“Yes…yes…”
Ma Jixiang dared not hide it, and he explained everything in everything, including several local officials bribing the Xijing Governor's garrison, and all the greed for public funds for road construction were shaken off.
He knew that the emperor had arrived in person and could not hide this matter anyway. Instead of being found out, it would be better to explain it thoroughly. After all, the emperor's favorite loyal eunuch who was unconcealed.
Loyalty is also the only life-saving talisman for eunuchs.
Zhu Cixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly: "You said that colluding with Shaanxi local officials to embezzle public funds for road construction was the cause of your incompetent godsons?"
Ma Jixiang cried bitterly: "Report to the emperor, everything I said is true... I know about this, but I did not punish my subordinates, and I also took some benefits... I deserve to die!"
As an old man in the palace, Ma Jixiang was famous for his skills in playing horses and was very good at catering to his superiors, no less than Wei Zhongxian at that time. He was promoted by several eunuchs in the palace. Even Wu Zhong, the general manager of the palace, had some favors for him and found a half-time position in the East Factory.
