Chapter 102 Uninvited guests enter the horse house at night
After Ma Chao chatted with Cui An for a while, Cui An also went to rest. He was sleepy and had to go to bed. Moreover, Cui An usually thinks simple, so there is no problem of insomnia.
Seeing that Chen Dao and Cui An had gone to rest one after another, Ma Chao felt that it was boring to each other, so he stepped out of the house and came to the courtyard. At this time, except for the servants guarding the door, everyone else in the mansion should have slept. In fact, it cannot be said that they were servants, at least Ma Chao did not treat them as current people. Except for a butler sent by Cao Cao, the rest of the mansion were all the soldiers who followed Ma Chao from Dunhuang, and they were responsible for guarding the security of the mansion.
Now it is February of the first year of Zhongping. Ma Chao knows that the days when the troubled times begin. In fact, compared to the chaos in the world, he prefers to live a peaceful life. There is a way to live in a peaceful life, but the troubled times cannot be stopped. As a person with some ability, Ma Chao has to work hard for his ideals in a troubled time.
He is not a saint, but he does not want the world to be in war, and does not want the people to be displaced, and nine out of ten families in the world are empty. Ma Chao has never experienced troubled times, but he also knows the huge harm brought by war.
He sighed. Just then, Ma Chao found that someone had jumped into the yard from the exterior wall. He smiled. This was interesting. It was the first time that someone had dared to come in like this after living there for so long, but he didn't know who it was. He found the other party, but the other party obviously didn't notice him. He saw that the person came into a house without anyone else and there was no movement again.
At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door. Ma Chao came to the door. After the servant opened the door, he saw many people standing outside the door. When the person outside the door saw Ma Chao, he hurriedly saluted, "We have to wake up the lord late at night because of official duties, and I hope the lord will forgive me!"
The outsider did not enter the mansion, but said to Ma Chao directly. It seemed that this person knew Ma Chao, so he would not be polite even if he had something to do.
Ma Chao nodded. He seemed to be familiar with people, as if they were Sima Fang's subordinates. Could it be that they were here to catch the person who had just entered the mansion? This idea flashed through Ma Chao's mind.
"You are the subordinate of Brother Jian!"
"That's right!"
"Okay, you all come in!"
"No! Thank you sir!"
The people outside the door entered the mansion, and more than half of them came in with him.
"Where do you come here?"
"Sir, we are arresting a rebel party in the city. Unexpectedly, the rebel party actually ran to the rebel house, so we wait..."
When Ma Chao heard the word "disruption", his eyebrows raised slightly, but no one noticed this subtle action.
"Oh? The rioters? Did you see it with your own eyes when the rioters ran into our mansion?"
"This... is seen by someone from my subordinates. They said that the rioters disappeared when they ran to the adults' mansion, so I suspect..."
"What do you doubt? I suspect that the rioters have hid in my mansion, or is it because I have harbored the rioters?" Ma Chao said a little heavy.
I heard the person coming quickly said, "I dare not, but the rebels may have sneaked into the Lord's Mansion, so I will wait until I enter the house to see the Lord!"
The person who came was very frustrated. If the rioters ran to an ordinary family, he would just start searching without saying a word. But why might he have run to this mansion? Who is this person? He is the captain of the city gate, the prince's gentleman, and the person that General He Jin admired, and even praised His Majesty. When the person came thought of this, he was sweating. He was afraid that he would offend Ma Chao, so he would not have to hang out in Luoyang anymore.
"Since you think the rebels have sneaked into my mansion, you can just search it. But in the front, first, I have been in the courtyard and I have never seen anyone enter the mansion. Second, if you search for the rebels in my mansion, everything is easy to say, but if you haven't found it, then I have to go to Lord Sima to talk about it, please!"
"this……"
The sweat on the people's heads was getting more and more, and he was hesitant. It was indeed as Ma Chao said, if you search, everything would be easy, but if you really didn't search, it would be troublesome. Search the mansion and you can't do it if you were on your own. Forget it, it's better to do less than more things. Don't do this thankless thing. Even if you can't catch the rioters tonight, at most, they will be scolded by their own adults when they go back, but if they don't search after searching, it's probably not just a simple matter.
Thinking of this, he smiled at Ma Chao, "I also think that the lord is right. Since the lord has not noticed any abnormalities, I won't disturb you!"
"Don't you search it carefully? What if the rioters have sneaked into the mansion and I haven't noticed it, in my opinion, it's better to search it carefully!" Ma Chao said solemnly.
"No need, my subordinates have not seen clearly whether the rioters have entered the palace. According to the rioters, the rioters have probably gone to other places. I will disturb you tonight, so I will say goodbye!"
After hearing this, Ma Chao said nothing, but just nodded.
"Let's go!"
The visitor called his subordinates to leave the Ma Mansion. He never wanted to come here again in his life. He was defeated by Ma Chao tonight, which can be said to be extremely unhappy, but what can I do? In terms of official positions, he is not as high as others, and in terms of identity, he has no status, so he can only leave helplessly.
In fact, this person's approach is not incomprehensible, and not everyone will truly fulfill their duties. But Ma Chaoyue asked him to search the house, the more he became afraid, and he was afraid what if he didn't find it. He didn't seek merit but did not seek any mistakes, so in the end, he had to withdraw for his own benefit.
After everyone left, the servant closed the door, and Ma Chao himself couldn't tell what he was feeling. Anyway, some efforts were not in vain, at least he sent the person away. He had thought before that if he came to arrest some criminals, he would have to cooperate with him. But as soon as he heard the word "Ruan Party", the words "Yellow Turban" popped up in Ma Chao's mind. Yes, the 80% rebellion they were trying to capture were from Taipingdao. If so, he would have to help him tonight. As for whether it could be successful, he would do his best anyway, so this was the previous scene.
Ma Chao came to the door of the empty house and pushed the door into the house. As soon as he stepped into the house, he found someone attacking him. Ma Chao smiled and everything was as expected. This guy should have slashed at him with a ring-headed knife, but he retreated backward and retreated directly to the yard.
"Come out, it's so dark inside!"
Although Ma Chao was confident in taking this person in the house, he didn't like fighting in a dark place. When the person in the house saw him failing, he heard someone calling him in the yard, and then he jumped out of the house and fell into the yard.
He only glanced at Ma Chao and started to move his hand. As a result, before the ring-headed knife was cut a few times, he was ready to jump over the wall and escape again. However, Ma Chao had expected it, so he would not let him escape. In the end, he was captured by Ma Chao in less than twenty rounds. The servant took the rope and tied him up. He wanted to run away, but Ma Chao was so strong that he could only be tied up in the end.
He took this person to the living room, and Ma Chao sat down and asked him, "Aren't you going to tell me something?"
I saw this man turn his head aside and not look at Ma Chao. That means he has no way to ask anything from me.
Ma Chao smiled as soon as he saw it, thinking that you are like this, thinking I can’t do anything about it?
"Just just now, people said they were arresting the rebels, so it should be you!"
The person still didn't respond much, and Ma Chao continued, "I know if you don't say it, you are from Taipingdao!"
This person still didn't respond. Ma Chao said, if you don't give you some strong medicine, you will really not be able to cure you.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is very lucky!"
As soon as the sixteen words came out, the man looked at Ma Chao in surprise, "You..."
I was about to say how did you know, but I reacted and was exposed. But I was really surprised. Only people with their own people know these sixteen words, and they are all people with a certain status in Taiping Dao. How could such a young man know? Could it be that he is... impossible. If it is his own people, he cannot not know. Besides, if there is no one who treats his own people like this, how did he know it?
"You must be wondering how I know this, right? Let me tell you, I know more about your Taipingdao things than this!"
After hearing this, this person looked disbelief, but Ma Chao didn't care about this, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak, and I'm not interested in knowing anything from you. If you want to leave, then I'll let you go!"
"You want to let me go?"
This person spoke to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao nodded, "No, a real man said nothing, I said that if you let you go, you will definitely let you go. But judging from the current situation, the whole city is catching you, so, even if you let you go, where can you go?"
When this man heard this, he lowered his head and could not escape from Luoyang City. Originally, he was hiding in Luoyang City, but the court sent someone to arrest him. He thought about it and it was impossible for him to expose anything. Could it be that he had a traitor? Or a traitor? He felt that he was not willing to die, but he had to tell the great wise and good teachers about this. As a result, he was chased and ran away all the way. Finally, he jumped into Ma Chao's mansion in panic.
Originally, when he hid in the house and heard the knock on the pursuers' door, he thought he was doomed. He was ready to fight to the death as long as he was discovered, but who knew that the pursuit was sent away by the owner of the mansion. But as soon as he relaxed, he was attacked by the owner of the mansion and was eventually captured alive. After being arrested, he realized that he had seen himself for a long time, and his kung fu was not of the same level, so where could he go?
This man heard that Ma Chao wanted to let him go, but if he let him go, he couldn't run out of Luoyang, so he had no choice.
"So, if I let you go, you will definitely not be able to leave Luoyang City. Only if you follow me can you leave Luoyang!"
