[Liang Zhu] Yingtai took me to fly

Ma Wencai was stunned when he heard Zhu Yingtai's words, and said, "Indeed, I just received it today, did you receive it too?"

Zhu Yingtai nodded, with a more serious expression, and said: "In his letter to me, he hinted that something important will happen in the near future. Did he mention it in his letter to you?"

Ma Wencai's face also changed, and said: "Indeed, I can see it, but I haven't figured out what he is referring to."

Zhu Yingtai took a deep breath and said to Ma Taishou: "According to my inference, I'm afraid the Song family will make some moves."

"The Song family? What action? Could it be?" Ma Wencai gasped.

Ma Taishou narrowed his eyes and said, "Then you brought the letter?"

Zhu Yingtai immediately took out a letter from her bosom, and Ma Wencai also said, "I'll get the letter I received." Then he ran out.

Eunuch Ma quickly browsed through the two letters, pondered for a while, then handed the letter back to the two, and said slowly: "It seems that there is indeed something important to do."

Ma Wencai became nervous, but he heard Ma Taishou say to Zhu Yingtai: "I wonder if brother Zhu has time tomorrow?"

Zhu Yingtai immediately stood up, cupped her hands and said: "It was my father who told me to come here quickly, and please come over to discuss with the prefect."

Ma Taishou twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Zhu and his wife came to visit the mansion, my wife and I have never found a chance to pay our respects. We will bother you tomorrow."

The two reached an agreement, and Zhu Yingtai left, and he wanted to bring news back.

Ma Wencai sent him to the door, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Yingtai hugged him with a smile, and said: "Yihua don't have to worry, with me here, I will protect you without worry."

Ma Wencai grabbed his hand and said, "I want to protect you too."

Zhu Yingtai showed a very relaxed smile and said, "Okay, you protect me too."

After speaking, he got on his horse and galloped away.

As for how and what the Zhu and Ma families talked about, the prefect Ma didn't tell Ma Wencai.

A few days later, troops in Yuzhou and Jiangzhou to the west and southwest of the capital suddenly rose up.

Ma Wencai found out that Ma Taishou seldom went out to work in the mansion recently, and many soldiers were arranged around the mansion.It wasn't until this time that Prefect Ma told him that the Song family had sent troops to the capital under the banner of "the side of the Qing emperor".Fortunately, he got the news that the gates of the inter-county cities in Kuaiji County were closed tightly, and the soldiers could not defend themselves, so the Song family's team never confronted them.

The goal of the Song family is the Qi family, the capital city.

It is also rumored among the people that this severe drought is just a warning sent by the heavens because of the Qi family's treason.

But the Qi family has accumulated for many years, how can the Song family be easily shaken?The Qi family immediately sent troops to defend several counties near the capital, and fought against the Song family.

The Song family didn't know when they began to plan, and coupled with the bias of the people's hearts, they even fought on equal terms with the Qi family.

The two were at a stalemate, and it was easy to tell the winner.

It is precisely because of this that many people are amazed at the power of these two families, which is probably more powerful than the one controlled by the Holy One.

Ma Wencai thought to himself, it would be fine if they were still as invisible as before. Wouldn't this make the emperor fearful?When the snipe and the clam compete, in the end it will only benefit the fisherman.

However, after more than 20 days of effort, the Song and Qi families have lost most of their strength, but the matter has come to this point, even if they want to retreat, they have no way out.If you retreat, you will lose, and if you move forward, you may still have a chance.

At this point, the Holy One finally took action and sent a general surnamed Liang to help the Song family to encircle and suppress the Qi family, and then surrounded the Song family.

Then the Holy Majesty's will came down, and the two families were labeled as rebels. All the family members who held power in their hands were either killed or dismissed from office. The two great families seemed to fall apart in an instant.

When the news came, Eunuch Ma breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a bit sad, so he acted more cautiously.

In July and August, the turmoil of this time finally gradually dissipated, and there was another Liang family beside the Holy One.

The Liang family is also an aristocratic family that moved from the north to the south. It has always had a reputation of being loyal and upright. Now it has made a great contribution to redressing the rebellion and immediately became the head of the remaining aristocratic families.

Nishan Academy has finally recovered from the last flood.

Although Ma Wencai, Zhu Yingtai, and Liang Shanbo no longer planned to go out to study, they also made an appointment to go back to the academy to say goodbye to their teachers and classmates.

The road up the mountain was covered with silt left by the mountain torrents, and now it is simply cleaned for people to pass.In the academy, only some houses that were not damaged were cleaned out. Those ruins and walls were still in place, and they hadn't had time to be repaired, which looked a bit bleak.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou is still in good health and spirit, and he can still smile heartily when he sees them.

This time, more than a dozen people failed to escape, and many people's homes suffered disasters. The number of students who can return to the academy is less than half of what it used to be.However, Mr. Zhou has experienced a lot of wind and rain in the first half of his life. He said: "Even if this academy is gone, so what, the old man is still there, so he can still teach and educate people."

Ma Wencai and the others also planned to stay for a longer period of time. After all, the friendship between teachers and students and classmates for more than a year can help to some extent.

At the beginning of August, a man dressed in linen clothes came to the academy.

Ma Wencai and the others were invited to Mr. Zhou by Ah Cheng, and they were a little strange when they saw this man.

The man smiled shyly and said: "Yihua, Xinzhai, Shanbo, I am Song Hengji."

Marvin almost jumped up. He stared at the face himself before he recognized it. "Mr. Song has changed his clothes and combed his hair. I can't even recognize him." What affected him the most was his expression. Compared with the previous decadence, he now appeared firm, as if he had grown up and matured a lot.

Zhu Yingtai asked: "The Song family is in trouble, how are you doing now?"

Song Hengji said frankly: "Compared to the past days at home, it is much harder, but it is better than when I was alone. Now there is no Song family. I am with my father, mother, two brothers and my elder sister. Ready to go further south."

"How will you live in the future?" Ma Wencai said with a worried face, "Do you have enough money?"

Song Hengji thanked him, and said: "In the past, I also met some people outside, and even selling calligraphy and paintings was enough for the whole family. Besides, my two elder brothers are capable. They hid some money earlier and planned to do some business. That's enough. Don't contact me either, after all, the Song family committed a serious crime, and we are lucky to be able to save our lives, so don't get involved."

Ma Wencai showed some sadness on his face, he knew that Song Hengji came back to say goodbye to them, and if he said goodbye this time, he might never see him again for the rest of his life.

Seeing him like this, Song Hengji's mouth became dumb again. He stuffed the package he was carrying with him to Ma Wencai, and said, "You told me to give you some paintings before. These are the ones I am most satisfied with. You take them and you will see them later. You have to practice calligraphy well."

Ma Wencai couldn't help but smile, took it solemnly, and said "Take care".

Song Hengji scratched his head, turned and left.He hunched over a little, and looked like an ordinary citizen. No one would have guessed that he was once a member of the Song family.

Ma Wencai looked at Zhu Yingtai beside him, and made up his mind that he would never be separated from him or his family.

A few days after Song Hengji left, the Liang family in the court suddenly launched an attack, targeting the Ma family and the Zhu family.

When Ma Wencai and Zhu Yingtai received the news, Prefect Ma had been suspended from his post as prefect, and several members of Zhu's family were also ordered to reflect.Even Zhu Gongyuan, who had already retired at home, was reprimanded.

The name the Liang family was looking for was nothing but collusion with the Song family, and they had a rebellious heart. The evidence is that when the Song family raised troops and marched towards the capital, they did not fight with Kuaiji County, so the two families must have colluded.As for the Zhu family, when they moved to the south, they moved to Kuaiji County and had close contacts with Ma Taishou's family. Even the sons of the two families became classmates, and they had a very close personal relationship.

There was no real evidence for what the Liang family said, so they bit them with empty teeth. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was trying to scare others.

The Ma family's headquarter is in Shu, and they have always been unknown in the court, adhering to the doctrine of the mean.Only the Ma prefect was out, and the Liang family singled out it as a warning, telling the Ma family to continue to shrink their heads.

The Zhu family is one of the best big families after the Song and Qi families, but they have never been as ostentatious as the Qi family, nor as anxious as the Song family. They have always been stable and never made any mistakes.After moving to the south, the strength of the Zhu family was damaged and became more restrained, but the background was still there, and it became a thorn in the eyes of the Liang family.It is also a warning to other aristocratic families not to act rashly.

But if it was just a few words from the Liang family, the Zhu and Ma families would not care, but unexpectedly the Holy Majesty approved the letter from the Liang family. The meaning behind this is really frightening.Not only the Zhu and Ma families, but the rest of the family knew that the Holy Majesty was dissatisfied with the family and wanted to re-establish the authority of the emperor.For a while, some people were in danger.

As for whether the Liang family was ordered by the Holy Majesty, or just happened to be the sword in the hands of the Holy Majesty, no one cared.

After Ma Wencai received the news, he packed his bags that day and prepared to go home the next day.My father has been suspended from his job, and my elder brother is still "convalescing from illness". I am afraid that there will be changes in the family.

Zhu Yingtai simply went with him, Ma Taishou was a little helpless outside, so he had to take care of him.

That night, Ma Wencai was always a little uneasy, his mind was full of possible troubles at home, and he was also thinking about the way out for the future.

Zhu Yingtai was lying side by side with him, clasped hands, also not sleepy.

The two of them stayed up all night with their eyes open until about Mo Chou.

Choushi is often the period when people sleep the deepest and are most difficult to wake up. The entire academy and even the entire Wansong Ridge are shrouded in silence.

At this moment of complete silence, the sound of the door being pushed open in the north room of the East Wing was like thunder, which exploded in the ears of the two of them.

Just as Ma Wen was about to speak out, Zhu Yingtai covered his mouth.
