"Bastard, bastard, Chen Hua, the white-eyed wolf, actually, dared to bite me back." Ma Ku angrily smashed all kinds of vases and porcelain in the study into pieces.

Since his attempt to go to the Prince Zhuang's mansion to mediate failed a few days ago, he has not given up, and he has been looking for people everywhere to act as a middleman.

At the beginning, there were naturally many people in the court who helped turn around, but this Prince Zhuang simply refused to accept.

Ma Ku only thought that the other party was angry, so he continued to increase the stakes. Although the Ruiguo government said it was down and out, it still had political leverage.

But I didn't expect that at today's court meeting, there would be a censor who participated in the pardon of him, the Duke of Ruiguo, colluding with foreign officials, bullying the weak, extorting antiques, and killing people.

Is this something for nobles like them?

This is not a problem at all. Every year, I would like to think that a censor will make a fortune with these honorable families, and then chat with the honorable group in the court for a month or two. Finally, Emperor Li came out to mediate, and this matter will be over. After finishing it, I also felt that this time it was just his turn to the Ruiguo government, and it was not a big deal.

At most, after a few days of accountability in front of the hall, you can still feel a wave of presence in front of the saint, and then punish you with a salary and think about your mistakes.

Unexpectedly, this time, Chen Hua, the magistrate of Nanxuan, came to Beijing to report on his duties, and was transferred to the Dali Temple in the capital. He did not know who operated it and became a Beijing official. He thought about visiting it soon, but Unexpectedly, when Chen Hua took advantage of the censor's contribution to him, he also made a copy.

He said that he lured the children of the aristocratic family to gamble in his Ma family, and forcibly took the women of the people as concubines.

This time, all factions in the court were directly detonated.

As a derivative product of the Xungui family, the Xungui Group naturally tried its best to keep the Ruiguo Mansion, which is also a noble family, but it couldn't stand the pressure of other civil and military officials, which made the Xungui Group unable to do what it could.

After calming down, Ma Ku also understood that neither Chen Hua nor Yu Shi was the real master.

"Prince Zhuang." Ma Ku gritted his teeth and said.

No matter which way you look at it, you can see it with a clear eye.

These days, he has offended Prince Zhuang, if not him, who else would he be?

What's more, although his Ruiguo Duke's mansion bears the name of the Duke of the country and has political chips and resources, it also relies on the existence of the honorable family.

"However, is it really only because of Prince Zhuang?"

Ma Ku was silent, this time the disturbance was really too big, and Emperor Li didn't seem to express anything, which gave him a bad premonition.

"Master, someone from the palace came to announce the decree, and please hurry up to pick him up." Outside the door, the manager shouted rather anxiously.

This made Ma Ku's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly packed his luggage and went to receive him.

When they came to the main hall, the yellow gate had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ma Ku's arrival, he took out the imperial edict and began to read it out.

"Following the emperor's order, he will be deposed as the Duke of the country, demoted to be the Duke of the County, and removed from the position of General Fenwei of the third rank, hereby." After a long formulaic reading, Huangmen announced the final result.

Ma Ku was stunned, what's going on, why is it so fast?

Dismissal from office and nomination, this was not even investigated, and the verdict was given directly, Ma Ku's eyes darkened, and he almost lost his footing.

"Lord Ma, you still haven't accepted the order." Huangmen's sharp voice brought Ma Ku back to his senses.

"Sir, accept the order."

Ma Ku accepted the imperial decree tremblingly. This fact was too abrupt. It only took a day or two before and after. This turned him, the Duke of Ruiguo, into the Duke of Ruixian County, and removed Sanpin Fen. General Wei is fine, but the title has been dropped two ranks in a row, which is the biggest problem.

"Please forgive me, sir." After getting up, Ma Ku took out a bank note from his pocket and stuffed it into the pocket of the yellow gate.

This means asking why.

But Huang Men stretched out his hand to stop the opponent, and this situation made Ma Ku feel more and more uneasy.

"Your Majesty, please take it back. When your majesty came down, he told our family to return the belongings of someone else's old friend." Huangmen reminded.

Hearing this, Ma Ku felt a little dazed before his eyes, something from an old friend?

He didn't expect that weird man covered in armor to have such a status, who the hell is that.

"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law." Ma Ku said hastily.

The other party's meaning is obvious, if you don't pay it back, there will be more follow-up.

"Please remember, Mr. Ma, let your son return it willingly, instead of being dissatisfied. That gentleman is unusual, so don't play tricks, otherwise, one by one, it will be enough for Duke Rui The whole government lost their heads."

With a buzzing sound in Ma Ku's head, he suddenly understood.

This was not done by Prince Zhuang at all, but by the current Holy Majesty.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Ma Ku suppressed his speculation and said respectfully.

After Huangmen left, the whole mansion was in chaos, and he slumped on the main seat with some powerlessness.

Sure enough, whether it was Yushi or Chen Hua, the criticism of him was just an introduction, and the real reason was to offend someone who shouldn't be offended.

"The thing of the old friend, the thing returns to the original owner."

"Heh, who would have thought that because of a stone chessboard, I would lose two ranks in a row to the duke of the country who is living with the country."

He knew that Emperor Li was waiting for him, that Chen Hua's entry into Beijing was not only used as a knife to kill him, but if his behavior satisfied Emperor Li, then Chen Hua would be his scapegoat.

"Come on, let that little bastard come over, I... well, forget it, I'll go there." Ma Ku sighed.

He knew that his son had long been spoiled by the female relatives in the back house. The stone chessboard accounted for 50% of the matter, and his unlucky son also accounted for 50%.

But what can I do about this matter, it's my own son, so I can't say that I killed him.

Who knew that things would turn out like this, if he had known, he would have given the stone chessboard to others immediately.

He got up and headed towards the back house. His son was messing around with those women heartlessly, which made him very headache. According to this nature, he didn't know when he would be able to be alone.

More importantly, with his son's character, how could he be willing to give it?

It would have been okay if it hadn't been like this, but the stubbornness had grown stronger, and if something went wrong, their family might be ruined.

Don't underestimate that Emperor Li, the opponent's attack is extremely ruthless.

"I just hope this little bastard can understand me as a father, otherwise."

The Duke of Rui County may not disappear, but the Ma family is not only his house, but also a side house. When the time comes, their big house owner's house will be cleared, and the title will be transferred to the remote one who can't be more remote. As a side branch, the Duke of Rui County is not considered to have disappeared, and the interest groups formed by those distinguished and noble families will not fight to the death.

The one who died was nothing more than their big family who offended Emperor Li with their lack of eyesight.
