Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

The general's wife was very upset and regretted that she should not have believed Chu Zhao's words and let her enter the house.

It's easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away. Even though she came, it was impossible to chase her away, so she had to let the housekeeper arrange the guest room and prepare a sumptuous dinner for her.

After Chu Zhao had eaten and drank enough, he and Ao Tiechui went to bed separately.

Recently, he always sleeps in a tent. Chu Zhao has not slept in such a comfortable bed for a long time, so he fell asleep without any distractions as soon as he touched the bed.

Fang Weijia sent the girl to secretly visit a few times. After confirming that all three people were asleep, she asked the housekeeper to quietly leave the house and go to another courtyard to discuss countermeasures with Mr. Ma.

The Ma family has several houses in the city, but they are not purchased in Ma Delong's name, so few outsiders know about them.

The housekeeper left the house, looked around cautiously like a thief, and turned into a large house. After double-checking that no one was following him, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The concierge opened the door and let him in. He also looked around before closing the door again.

Aao hid in the shadows and waited for a while, then quietly slipped under the wall, jumped up the high wall, and climbed into the courtyard.

The housekeeper didn't know that he was being followed, so he hurried to Mr. Ma's room, knocked on the door, went in, and reported everything about the princess moving into the house.

"Nonsense!" A man's stern voice soon came from the room, "Why didn't I tell you what I told you when I left? Why didn't you listen?"

"It's not that the old slave didn't listen, it's that the lady missed her mother very much. When she heard the old lady's message, she forgot the Lord's instructions."

"How dare you shirk responsibility? What do you do for food? Why didn't you remind Madam?"

"My lord, please forgive me. I did not shirk my responsibility. I did not expect that Princess Jingnan was actually a scoundrel!"

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, what could you have thought of?" Ma Zongbing said angrily, "My father-in-law is a thousand-year-old fox himself. He can't even get the upper hand over Princess Jingnan. You can imagine what a cunning woman she is. .”

"Yes, it is indeed very cunning." The housekeeper agreed with sympathy, "But now that the person has entered the house, it will not help if you are angry, so why not think of a way..."

"What can I do? It's just a word "procrastination"." Ma Zongbing said, "Her main task is to go to Beijing to diagnose the Queen Mother. Even if she is not in a hurry, your father-in-law will not keep her delayed. As long as I stay away from her, she will eventually leave."

"Is this possible?" the steward asked uncertainly.

"Then you can think of something that works?" Mr. Ma asked angrily.

The butler smiled and said, "It's up to your Majesty. I will tell the princess tomorrow that your Majesty has an emergency and will not be able to come back for the time being. If she is willing to wait, we will entertain her with good food and drinks until she can't wait any longer." "

"Well, let's go!" Ma Zongbing said, "Look carefully when you come. No one is following you, right?"

"No, sir, don't worry, I am careful!" the steward said.

Soon, the door creaked open, and the housekeeper stepped out from inside.

Aao is lurking on the roof, his black clothes blending into the night.

It wasn't until the housekeeper walked away and Mr. Ma went back to the inner room to rest angrily that he stood up gently and disappeared into the night like a big bird spreading its wings.

Not long after, he rushed back to the General Military Mansion ahead of the housekeeper, and slipped into Chu Zhao's room through the partially opened back window of the guest room.

"You're back?"

A gloomy voice sounded in the darkness.

Aao knew that there was no one else in the room, but he was still frightened.

"Master, you are playing tricks on me again."

Chu Zhao succeeded in his prank and chuckled: "You are so timid. It seems that I will scare you a few more times in the future to train your courage."

A'ao shook his head helplessly, walked to the bed in the dark, and whispered: "Master is really good at predicting things. I followed the old housekeeper to find Ma Delong's hiding place."

"Did you hear what they said?" Chu Zhao asked.

Aao then recounted to her the conversation she heard between Ma Delong and the housekeeper.

After hearing this, Chu Zhao sneered: "If you want to prevent me from seeing you, fine, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Let's see who outlasts whom."

The Queen Mother's illness was not fatal in the first place, so it wouldn't be a problem to delay it for a few months. She had plenty of time.

"Then let's just keep waiting?" A'ao asked.

"Of course we can't wait." Chu Zhao said, "Even Ma Delong knows that your father-in-law is anxious, so of course we must take advantage of your father-in-law."

"How to use it?" Aao asked again.

Chu Zhao said: "You go out to see your father-in-law tomorrow morning and tell him that Mr. Ma was caught up in something outside and his return date is uncertain. I plan to wait here until he comes back. When will I see him and when will he return?" leave."

Your father-in-law is so anxious to go back that if he can't urge her, he will find a way to make Ma Delong show up.

There are so many chief secretaries in Huguang who are lackeys of the He family and his son. Xiaoge has been spying on her for so long, so he must do some work for her!

As for her, she was just waiting for Ma Delong to show up.

Not to mention the housekeeper, even Aao himself felt that the princess was a scoundrel, making people hate her with itch, and there was nothing they could do to her.

So, early the next morning, after the housekeeper politely told Chu Zhao that General Ma would not be able to come back for the time being, Aao went out of the house to find your father-in-law at the camp outside the city and conveyed to him what Chu Zhao had told him.

When your father-in-law heard this, he became anxious and jumped on his feet: "How can this be done? When will this happen? The Queen Mother's illness cannot be delayed. How can the Princess be so ignorant?"

"It's not our princess's fault for this." A'ao said, "As soon as the princess left Yong County, someone sent a greeting card to Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma knew that the princess was coming, so he went out on inspection at this juncture, isn't it? Are you obviously hiding from the princess? Do you think the princess has such a stubborn temper? How can she not compete with him?"

How shrewd your father-in-law is, he naturally knows that Ma Delong is deliberately avoiding Chu Zhao, but the current situation is that the two of them are competing, but it is himself, an innocent person, who is being cheated.

This is really weird, why no matter who the princess fights with, he is the one who gets hurt in the end?

Your father-in-law couldn't figure it out and felt very depressed.

Originally, he had written a letter to Mr. Xiao Ge yesterday and planned to let the pigeons fly in front of Chu Zhao. However, Chu Zhao stayed in the General Military Mansion and did not come back.

General Xiao's eagle god was elusive and Chu Zhao was not around. He did not dare to let the pigeon out easily. If he let it out, he would eventually be caught.

Therefore, whether it was to return to Beijing as soon as possible or to keep the correspondence open with Mr. Xiao Ge, he had to find a way to let the princess see Ma Delong as soon as possible.

In this way, your father-in-law, who was bet by Chu Zhao and Ma Delong at the same time, had no choice but to rely on Xiaoge Lao's power to find Han Zheng, the chief envoy of Huguang, and told him to find a way to dig out Ma Delong.

"Master Han, it's really not that our family is making things difficult for you. You also know who Princess Jingnan is. If she stays in Wuzhou, she might compete with you or other adults again. This is not good for any of us, so think of a way quickly to let her meet Mr. Ma and treat it as a way to succumb to the plague, okay?"

Han Zheng was also very depressed. He had done nothing and was given a hot potato for nothing. Who could he ask to reason?

No, he can't suffer this bad luck alone, and he can't do anything to offend Ma Delong alone.

So, he said to your father-in-law: "I haven't heard that the general soldier went out for inspection recently. Maybe he is hiding in the city. He is usually close to the prefect. The prefect knows several of his private residences. It's better for my father-in-law to go there." Ask the prefect."

Your father-in-law secretly scolded the old fox and went to see the magistrate again. To prevent the magistrate from passing it on to someone else, he moved Mr. Xiaoge out as soon as he met.

"Xiaoge Lao said that if our family has something to do, we should come to the prefect. If the prefect doesn't help our family, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to deal with Xiaoge Lao."

The magistrate had no choice but to tell Ma Delong some of his private residences: "They are all working for the elder of the small pavilion. Naturally, the official knows everything. I just asked the father-in-law to keep it a secret for the official, let alone the official told the father-in-law." .”

Your father-in-law thanked him and promised to keep him secret, and then he went to the addresses he provided.

He did not search quietly, but borrowed some official servants from the Chief Secretary, and went through the city with great fanfare to search. When he found a place, he found that Ma Delong was not there, so he sent a few official servants to guard the door.

These private houses of Ma Delong were originally purchased in secret, but after he searched for them, everyone in the city soon knew about them.

A general soldier, no matter how high his salary could be, actually bought seven or eight houses in a prosperous place where every inch of land was precious.

"These are just the ones that have been found. I don't know how many have not been found!" General Xiao squeezed among the people watching the excitement to fan the flames.

"That's right. I heard that Princess Jingnan recently annihilated a group of troops who rebelled because their military pay had been withheld for a long time. It turns out that the military pay was all bought by the General Soldier to build a house." Yun Qi, who came with him, also agreed.

After hearing what they said, the people began to think:

"This is just a house. We don't know what other properties there are."

"It's not just him. I'm afraid that everyone in Huguang's officials has a share. How can people rebel unless they are forced to the point of desperation?"

"Yes, yes, this father-in-law is really a noble man. We should also investigate the family backgrounds of other officials to see how much of the people's blood and sweat they have embezzled."

Your father-in-law has been a slave for half his life and accidentally became the master of Qingtian. He suddenly felt that his image was much taller.

Although his original intention was not to investigate official corruption, he simply wanted to take revenge for the cowardice Ma Delong made him suffer.

It makes no sense that he is always the one being cheated, and it is only fair that he also wants to cheat others.
