Rich and powerful

The one who spoke was Ma Ji's domestic slave and an old man who had been with him for more than ten years.

Therefore, Ma Ji is very relieved of him.

Ma Ji nodded in satisfaction, and then strode out of the mansion.

At the same time, some thoughts came to his mind. He knew that Lin Yun was going to Haocheng with such a big fanfare. However, he expected Lin Yun to bring him good news.

When he looked outside the gate, he saw Lin Yun riding on horseback, with more than 100 officers and soldiers behind him.

And beside Lin Yun, there was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament. Ma Ji recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man was Qi Rui, the commander of Ouchi's bodyguards, and his breathing became short of breath.

He understood that Qi Rui, as an official of the imperial court, could come here in person, then he must have something important to do.

Ma Ji stepped forward, bowed and said: "My next official, Ma Ji, I have met Mr. Lin and Commander Qi!!"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Boss Ma, you don't have to be polite! Do you know why I am looking for you this time?"

Ma Ji grinned, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense. Although he had a guess in his heart, he didn't hear it with his own ears, so he definitely couldn't talk nonsense. If he said something wrong, it would be a small shame, and it would be true if he brought trouble to Lin Yun.

At this time, seeing Lin Yun turning his head and staring at him with a smile, Qi Rui took out the document he had prepared in his arms.

Shen Sheng said: "Ma Ji listens to the order!!"

Ma Ji was ecstatic in his heart, and this time he knelt directly on the ground, knocking his head heavily on the ground.

Although he didn't meet the emperor face to face, what happened next was the biggest turning point in his life.

Qi Rui was very satisfied with his attitude, and said in a loud voice: "Following the imperial edict of Tian Chengyun, Ma Ji, the head of Yucheng's internal affairs office, has good morals, works hard and bears no complaints, and has won my heart. Take my heart, this!!"

Ma Ji knelt on the ground, listening to the announcement, his eyes widened.

He didn't expect that his promotion this time would actually alarm the emperor, and thinking that all of this was arranged by Lin Yun, he was even more shocked than he could be.

Quickly kowtowed and said: "The next official accepts the order! I will never disappoint the expectations of the Holy One!"

Qi Rui put away the Chinese document in his hand at this point, Ma Ji stood up, stepped forward respectfully, and took the document with both hands, with a pious expression on his face.

On the side, Lin Yun also looked surprised.

He did not expect that Cui Mingchong would directly alarm the emperor.

However, in this way, I am afraid that I will also be exposed in the eyes of the emperor.

This made Lin Yun speechless for a moment, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He originally planned to grow silently, and not let anyone know about him except for a limited number of people.

But now it seems that Cui Mingchong didn't hold back.

At this time, Qi Rui looked at Lin Yun meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Cui has already done the person you arranged, why are you unhappy?"

Lin Yun forced a smile, and said: "Happy is naturally happy, but... I didn't expect to alarm Sheng Jia! Did Master Cui tell the emperor?"

"Mr. Lin, do you think the emperor will agree if you don't say anything? Today's sage is a generation of wise emperors, and he is a thoughtful person! What's more, these things about Mr. Lin cannot be hidden from the investigation of those who are interested! This is extra It is impossible for 20 catties of grain to have no provenance, Master Cui must give an explanation, right?"

Looking at Qi Rui who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Lin Yun cursed inwardly.

It is certain that Cui Mingchong must have done this on purpose, just to beat himself up and show him this favor.

How could Lin Yun not understand, nodded and smiled, and said: "Ma Ji, this road has been paved for you, and how you go next depends on your own ability! Don't let us who pave the way down ah!"

Ma Ji nodded quickly, he could not be without Lin Yun's help if he could be appreciated by the Holy One.

As the saying goes, water has sources and trees have roots. He thanked the emperor for his great grace, but he also thanked Lin Yun for his cultivation.

If there is no Lin Yun, I will be living in Yucheng for the rest of my life.

Even, in a few years, when he gets old, or the errands are not done well, Qiu Guangri may liquidate him.

After all, Ma Ji knows a lot of Qiu Guangri's secrets, and when that day comes, he is destined to end badly.

"Don't worry, Young Master and Lord Qi, the lower officials are not the kind of ungrateful people!"

Ma Ji can only express his position in this way. Some things can't be said too much, but he can't say nothing.

Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Go back and prepare. Let's go to Yucheng now to solve this disaster!"

Ma Ji clasped his fists to the two of them, and then turned back to the house.

At this moment, Lin Yun looked at Qi Rui again, and asked, "Commander Qi, do you have any words for Master Cui to bring to me?"

Qi Rui smiled slightly. He knew that Lin Yun looked calm and calm now, but in fact his heart must be in a mess. He said, "Yes! However, I will tell Mr. Lin when I return to Beijing to return to my command!"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, Commander Qi, but it doesn't matter if you say it!"We are no longer outsiders! '

"That's it, Master Cui asked me to tell you that since you have done it, you have to make a good show! The court is very optimistic about you now! I hope you can do this well! Give me a good start for Daduan Shenchao!"

Qi Rui laughed while talking, that expression really deserves a beating.

Lin Yun's teeth itch, but this emotion can only be hidden in his heart.

Of course, he understood that what Qi Rui said about putting on a show must be referring to the feudal prince Lin's family.

Cui Mingchong knew that he would fight against the feudal lord Lin's family in the future.

And this is exactly what the court wanted to do but failed to do.

Because there is no excuse.

The 36 vassal kings of the Daduan Dynasty are all as cunning as foxes.

They also all knew that the imperial court wanted to cut down the feudal clan.

Therefore, the court was not given a chance to do anything at all.

They will do a good job in almost everything related to the court.

However, the birth of Lin Yun gave the imperial court hope.

It is said that a single spark can start a prairie fire, as long as Lin Yun can completely ignite the pile of dry wood of the feudal lord Lin's family, when the time comes, they will cooperate internally and externally, and they will definitely make the feudal lord Lin's family unable to eat.

Even if it can't completely cut down the feudal clan, it can still greatly weaken the Lin family.

As one ebbs and another grows, within a few years, the Lin family will perish.

At that time, with the lessons learned from the past, there will be a way to deal with other vassal kings.

Therefore, the reason why the emperor is willing to cooperate with Lin Yun and promote Ma Ji is because it is profitable.

Lin Yun understood the logic behind this, but he was also sweating.

He was also worried that one day, he would end up with a dead rabbit and a dead dog.

You know, the most ruthless emperor's family, for the stability of the country, the emperor can do anything.

At this moment, Qi Rui looked at Lin Yun who was in deep thought, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, why is he so faceless? Don't you want to serve my court?"

This was the first time since he dealt with Lin Yun that he saw Lin Yun showing timidity, so he seized the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Lin Yun.
