Chapter 201 Ma Chao Succession
For a while, many rumors spread in the streets and alleys of Fufeng County. Some people added fuel and vinegar to say that Ma Teng was assassinated when he went out; Some people said that they saw with their own eyes several people dressed as eunuchs with yellow gates entering Ma Teng's mansion in the middle of the night.Then I heard from relatives in Chang'an that there was a general named Ma who attacked Chang'an and was defeated...

Ma Chao knew all about the ups and downs outside.Moreover, he also knew that those rumors were partly true.

"Have you not found Hua Xin's whereabouts yet?" Ma Chao said slowly in a suppressed voice, although calm, he couldn't hide the pain.

"The subordinate is incompetent, Hua Xin seems to have evaporated overnight. Even his family members who stayed in Fufeng don't know where he went..." Brother Chou knelt to report, feeling as if something was blocked in his heart.

Ma Chao turned his head up to the sky and laughed loudly, the laughter echoed in the room, it was particularly eerie and crazy.He vomited a mouthful of blood in a "wow": Unexpectedly, he was still in high spirits for the unification of Yongzhou, and was going to give his father a surprise when he got home, but he didn't want to, it was a surprise but not a happy one!
Suddenly a person rushed in from the outside, the person had just bowed and before he could speak, Ma Chaozao, who was furious, shouted sharply: "Get out!" Just as he was about to fly, he saw that the person unexpectedly It was Yun'er, his personal maid.

Ma Chao's anger was contained, and he roared loudly for a moment: "What are you doing here!"

Because of the prolonged wailing and hoarse roaring, Ma Chao's voice became hoarse and unpleasant, like howling from hell.

"Young...Young Master...Aunt Liu called you over." Yun'er looked at Ma Chao cautiously, and stammered out the words.She thought she had a physical relationship with Ma Chao, and she already knew Ma Chao completely.But she didn't want to, the current scene made her realize that she didn't see through this temperamental man at all.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Yun'er who was in tears, and murmured, "Aunt Liu?..."

When meeting Ma Teng's regular wife again, Ma Chao found that what he saw was an old woman with vicissitudes of life and even destroyed by grief.The previous glamor and beauty, as if the beauty was taken away in an instant, has become shattered.Her eyes were blank, and when she saw Ma Chao coming in, she rolled her eyes, as if she was shocked by Ma Chao's image.

Ma Chao only saw the image of Aunt Liu, but he didn't see that he had already lost the dazzling light of Xiliang brocade because of the two days of grief.His hair was disheveled, and his beard protruded densely.The whole person is not so much a person as a ghost.

Seeing this unbelievably handsome child who had inherited all of Ma Teng's good looks, Liu felt that a string in her heart suddenly snapped, and she fell into endless nothingness.This time, she didn't cry anymore, because her tears had frozen into ice after Ma Teng died...

Ma Chao looked at Aunt Liu in a daze, but finally found that Aunt Liu, who was only in her thirties this year, already had white hair as pale as frost and snow on her head.

"Auntie, the child's disobedience made you..." Ma Chao came up and knelt down in front of Aunt Liu, choked with sobs, not knowing what to say.

For an instant, time and space seemed to have come to a standstill, and the whole room was as rigid and desperate as cold lead ash.

Finally, Aunt Liu moved, and her tears still flowed down: these days, she saw Ma Chao distraught, laughing and angry, behaving frantically, and showing his childlike affection.

But this time, although she was heartbroken, she still cried.But she tried her best to stop her tears quickly, hugged the strong Ma Chao in her arms, and cried loudly: "Chao'er, please take care of yourself! Your father was murdered by a traitor, and he didn't even know it was death." How did you die? And your younger brothers and sisters are still young, and now you are the only one who can support the overall situation of the Ma family! From today on, you are the head of the Ma family and the heaven of our Ma family!"

"Auntie!..." Ma Chao felt even more heartbroken when he heard these words, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, even if Chao'er crushes the entire big man, he will avenge his father!"

It wasn't until after seeing Aunt Liu that Ma Chao's eyes seemed to have a hint of life.He returned home, tidied up his appearance carefully, and called everyone to discuss important matters.

When everyone saw that Ma Chao had washed and dressed, they all showed a little shock: Young master... no, the master suppresses grief so forcefully, then today's council may have some earth-shattering moves!I just don't know if the lord will push the whole Ma family into the abyss of eternal doom because of deep sorrow?
"The purpose of convening everyone today is to gather ideas and find out the cause of my father's death. My father's death is very strange, and it is a serious matter that the entire Ma family has to face up to!" After everyone was seated, Ma Chao said: Said.At this time, Ma Chao's voice was already hoarse like a knife, and hearing it in everyone's ears, it seemed to be as desperate as torn cloth.

"Chao'er, I have met Aunt Liu before, according to her wishes, I will regard you as the master and the head of the Ma family today!" Jia Xu did not look at Ma Chao, and he said this in the first sentence.The first is naturally to ensure Ma Chao's status and the stability of the Ma Group; the second is to put a shackle on Ma Chao, lest he be too sad and do some crazy things.

"Master, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. Now that the second and third young masters are young, and you are the eldest son of Ma, if you don't stand up at this time, I am afraid that the foundation of the Ma family will be unstable. It is said that even the stability of the rule has been deeply affected." Yang Fu stood up, prostrated himself on the ground, and also suggested that Ma Chao succeed as the head of the Ma family immediately.

"Brother! Uncle's vengeance still needs you to avenge. If you don't revive the Ma family, how can you talk about revenge?!" Ma Dai has been crying to death for the past two days, but he still has no hesitation when it comes to Ma Chao's succession as the head of the family.

"My subordinates implore the lord to succeed!" Pang De, Brother Chou, Fazheng, Zhang Ji, Meng Da, Han Feng and others bowed to the ground, unable to kneel for a long time.

Ma Chao glanced at these people with indifferent eyes, raised his hand, and made everyone stand up and said: "I naturally understand what you mean. From today on, I, Ma Chao, named Meng Qi, will officially succeed to the position of Patriarch of the Ma family." .I hope that all the gentlemen will stand up and support me, and with my super humble wishes, I will return the world to a bright and prosperous world!"

"This subordinate will swear allegiance to the lord to the death!" Seeing that Ma Chao handled things clearly, everyone kowtowed their heads to show their loyalty.

"Everyone, sit down, today's matter, I have said before, it is to investigate the mystery of my father's death. This matter is not a family matter, but a state matter. If you have doubts, you can speak up."

"Rumours are rampant in the entire regime, and the people's hearts are uncertain. The Lord can first publish a list to reassure the people, and clearly order the people under the rule not to talk about the death of the old Lord. If there is any violation, they will be punished as the crime of gossip and chaos!" Fazheng has experienced government affairs for more than a year. After that, I became more and more conscious of being a mastermind.

"It's better to block it than to keep it out. If someone deliberately forbids the people under the rule from talking about it, I'm afraid the rumors will spread faster and more bizarre..." Ma Chao said these words lightly, with neither joy nor sadness.

After Fazheng thought about it for a while, he also felt that human nature is like this, so he asked, "My lord, if it's what you want, how should I guide you?"

Ma Chao reached out and took out a letter, and handed it to Fazheng.Fazheng took it, and murmured: "Unexpectedly, these rumors are actually right about some plots!"

Everyone didn't understand what Ma Chao had brought out. After Fazheng read it, he also knew what Ma Chao meant, so he passed the letter in his hand to Jia Xu, and asked everyone to look at it one by one.

That letter was left by Ma Teng to Ma Chao before he left.The above did not use the impassioned words of the monarch and his ministers to describe his own wishes, but as a loving father, he wrote a suicide note with a deep affection for the calf.

Ma Chao has already read the above content.Although the letter was long and somewhat wordy, it was basically divided into three parts: the first paragraph Ma Teng said that he knew that Ma Chao's aspirations were different from his own, but as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he still wanted to show the respect of his ancestors. Prestige; in the second paragraph, Ma Teng said that he used Ma Chao to pay [-] guan a month to secretly organize a group of troops in Dongqiang.I thought it was left to Ma Chao as the last trump card of the Ma family, but I didn’t want to use it elsewhere; the third paragraph is almost a last word, telling Ma Chao to take good care of Aunt Liu, raise his younger brothers and sisters, etc...

And when the letter reached Brother Chou, Brother Chou visibly shuddered: The shadow reported that Dongqiang had an elite army of 5000 people, but he never thought that it was the old master's!But what did the old lord do with these five thousand troops, leading to his death?
