Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 584
In front of the mansion of Ma Dong, deputy general of Datong Town, when he first came here from the capital, it was really crowded, that is, within seven or eight days, it soon became deserted.

How about the deputy general, if you don't abide by the rules of Datong Town, you won't stay for long. When the time comes, everyone will see you as a joke, if there is something wrong, the chief soldier and the supervising army will speak, don't you dare not listen.Fortunately, you are also a general, so you don't know how to behave.

Ma Dong's inhumane attitude was not only unacceptable to the officials and businessmen in Datong Town, but even Ma Dong's own soldiers and cronies didn't understand.

Ma Dong is Ma Fang's eldest son, but because he is not very outstanding, his status in his family has always been inferior to his younger brother Ma Lin. Ma Lin has been promoted step by step, and has already become the deputy general in Liao Town, but Ma Dong is still in Datong Town. Tianchengwei suffered a lot, and many of the guards' cronies were the sons of military families brought out by the Xuan Mansion. Those who followed Ma Dong and those who followed Ma Lin compared each other, and there was a lot of resentment in their hearts.

When Ma Dong was awarded the title of deputy general of Datong, the whole party was also rejoicing, thinking that the master has achieved this position, and the people below must follow suit, and there must be a lot of profit.

Unexpectedly, when he came here, Ma Dong acted like this, and even gave an order that anyone who dared to accept the good door bags from outside would bundle them up and send them to Zhangjiakou Fort for garrison, or they would be beaten to death.

Not to mention the benefits, even going out to have fun is strictly controlled, but the luxurious mansions in Datong City have been made like military camps by this Ma Dong, and they have to carry badges when they go in and out, and they have to be notified.

It’s fine if it’s always been like this. When Ma Dong was in Tianchengwei, he was also a first-class expert in deducting military pay. He raised three young ones outside. Who doesn’t know about this? Sent.

He was dissatisfied, and the old man went to persuade Ma Dong, and he had to rely on the big guys to support the situation. Why should he be so strict? Unexpectedly, the person who said this was scolded by Ma Dong, and he was given the next day. Sent back to the old house of Xuanfu.

That old man, who had served Marshal Ma Fang for 15 years, was a man who usually called Ma Dong "Uncle".

After driving away the old general, he whipped two of his cronies who raised women outside with a hundred lashes. Ma Dong gave twice the monthly rate to everyone around him, which was quite a generous sum of money. Everyone's grievances have also calmed down a lot.

And after such a toss, everyone was a little worried, what happened to make their master so cautious, everyone had better be obedient, so as not to cause trouble.

Family Ding's soldiers are no better than outsiders, their own master has fallen, and it is difficult to have an individual background, they can only follow the ruined situation, and everyone really dare not talk about it.

In addition to this restriction, Ma Dong transferred the deputy head of the guards from Ma Fang in the Xuanfu, which is an old-fashioned way of fighting for many years. It made everyone even more awe-inspiring. It could be that every step in Datong City is dangerous, otherwise, how could the master be so careful.

But it's not right, in the past, Ma Dong often led many people to Datong to have fun, and the people who came to give gifts a few days ago didn't look like they wanted to harm someone, and the Xuanfu side was not like that .

No matter what, Ma Dong restrained all the people around him. His side was strict and strict everywhere, which seemed even more incompatible with the outside world. Everyone in Datong looked at this side with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Sun Daying, the commander-in-chief of Datong, originally intended to win over Ma Dong, thinking that this generation of generals and the deputy general appointed by the emperor should take good care of him, but seeing Ma Dong's madness, he didn't bother. Understand it, Sun Daying is like this, and the eunuchs of the army are also like this, and the ups and downs quickly cooled down.

After the first lunar month, Ma Dong, the lieutenant general, was very free. The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Datong Town, the supply of food and fodder, the promotion of officials, etc., were all decided and then I would come to him to inform him. .

Fortunately, Ma Dong went crazy by himself, but he had nothing to do with the outside world, and he didn't embarrass others, and he didn't learn to be an upright official to investigate others. , Don't get stuck in other people's necks, don't make things difficult for others.

Strange is strange, it has nothing to do with everyone, in February, everyone ignored him.

************
"This dog has a life of suffocation. He has worked with him since he was a child. He has worked hard for nearly 20 years. When he came to Datong, he couldn't play with a woman. He was bored all day long!"

In Ma Dong's mansion, two guards walked along the wall with knives in their arms, complaining there while walking. After this one finished speaking, the other interface said:
"Let's say a few words less. It's not like you don't know that Old Wangtou was driven back to the Xuan Mansion. With three times the monthly allowance, you can eat and drink every day. Be content!"

"Are you satisfied? I am not satisfied. My brother sent me a letter in Liao Town. He has only been here for a few months, and he has received more than 800 taels of door bags. Two villages have been set up outside Liaoyang City. Damn, you Look at the people who came to the door when they first came, how attentive they are, they are delivered to the door..."

"It's strange to say that our adults are not so unreasonable. When I was in Tianchengwei, I never saw it like this when I was happy with everyone!"

The two complained in a low voice, while inspecting forward, a brother held a lantern on the other side of Liao Town to take a picture, and when he came back, he said:
"There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses inside and outside the city of Datong, the soldiers of several families in the city, and government servants, why are we so careful..."

"But you don't want to, there must be a way to be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the noise in front of him and the sound of rubbing against the wall again. After a little thought, he realized that it was someone climbing the wall outside.

The guards each had their own area of ​​responsibility, but the two of them were patrolling the side courtyard. Hearing this, the two looked at each other in blank dismay. Someone really sneaked in at night.

Cursing and scolding, after all, it is the personal guard who has been training all day. The two looked at each other and nodded. The man carrying the lantern blew out the lantern and touched it lightly.

They hid at the base of the wall, listening to the rustling noises outside, and something knocked down from the top of the wall, but their movements were already very light, and after a while, one of them jumped off the edge of the wall.

As soon as he landed, he took two steps forward. The two guards hiding at the base of the wall saw that there was no one coming. On the head, this strength is not small, the person who came in was knocked over without knowing what was going on.

It was knocked over here, so I immediately went to call someone, brought a leather rope, tied it up in a big way, tried it, and was still alive, carried it to the inner courtyard.

The chief waiter in the inner courtyard trotted in to report, and after a while Ma Dong came out in a hurry wearing armor. Although he woke up in the middle of the night, Ma Dong was wearing the armor and the knife was on his waist. Countless, my master may not even take off his armor when he sleeps at night, what is the situation that makes him so nervous.

Went to the main hall, woke up all the sleeping guards, added two guards outside, and then came in and got the man up.

The man who came in in the middle of the night was dressed as a commoner in green clothes and felt hat. He was not very clean, his complexion was dark, his beard and hair were messy. What are you doing climbing into the lieutenant's mansion?
Ma Dong stared there, and the head of the guards had already stepped forward, and asked first:
"Do you have a weapon on you?"

"No, the little ones already searched once when they sent it over!"

The boss nodded, knelt down to look at the palm of his hand, and ordered people to take off the man's shirt, looked back and forth, then turned around and reported to Ma Dong in a low voice:

"Master, this person should have stayed in the army before, and he has fought many times with real swords and guns. Maybe he is a soldier on the border. But looking at the calluses on his hands, he hasn't touched a weapon for at least three years?"

"Ma Dong didn't ask why. The chief guards around him were all experts brought out by the family, capable characters. They said so, so it must be so. Ma Dong nodded and said solemnly:

"Wake up, ask him something!"

Immediately, someone brought a basin of cold water and poured it all at once. The person trembled and immediately woke up. Seeing that the room was brightly lit and surrounded by strong men holding weapons, he immediately writhed, his whole body He was tied up firmly, and he could move there. The people around saw him moving around, and he just went up a few feet, and cursed:
"Blind your dog eyes, you dare to break into the mansion of our Ma Zongbing!"

Although he is the deputy chief soldier, but the people below call him himself, because they are used to the word "deputy". The man screamed a few times in pain, but when he heard this address, he reluctantly asked:
"This is indeed General Ma Dongma's residence?"

"Who do you think is the family, dare to do this..."

Before the soldiers and servants finished yelling, the man who was tied to the ground struggled again, and the people around rushed forward to hold him down, and the man shouted loudly:

"Master Ma, General Ma, the villain has a big case to report, the villain..."

He shouted too loudly, and only halfway through his speech, he was quickly gagged with a rag by a soldier. Ma Dong kept watching with a sullen face, and the long follower beside him whispered in his ear :

"Master, this must be a bastard matter in Datong Town. No one wants to care about it, so it is said that the master is here. When the old man came, the old man told us not to get involved in the troubles here. It is night anyway, so it is better to take care of it on the spot. I will carry it out and bury it tomorrow, and no one will say anything."

Ma Dong's face became more and more gloomy, but what he was thinking about was the words that the little emperor said to him with a smile in the warm pavilion of the palace. Could it have something to do with this? After pondering for a long time, he breathed out and spoke. said:
"Who are you? What big case are you going to say?"
