"The Embroidered Uniform Guards are really brave! He actually dared to attack the residence of a first-rank official in broad daylight. Impressive, impressive! Today, I want to see if you Embroidered Uniform Guards can stop me!”
As he spoke, Ma Qi walked down the steps under the obstruction of the madams.
At the bottom of the stairs, Ma Qi looked around. Seeing that there was no reaction, he sneered."A rootless thing, relying on the emperor's favor to think that chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven, and you still dare to behave atrociously in this old man's residence. I really think you, Ye Fan, have great courage, humph!”
Ma Qi stood alone on the street and shouted at the empty streets around him.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ma Qi waved his sleeves and walked directly towards the Imperial Palace.
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Yong Zheng sat on the dragon throne and listened to Ma Qi angrily criticize the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Ye Fan. His brows furrowed slightly.
"My dear minister, are you saying that Ye Fan killed your wife in broad daylight? He even killed two daughters and seven to eight servants?”
Ma Qi nodded heavily, knelt on the ground and cried,"Emperor, this old official doesn't dare to say that he has contributed much to the court, but even if he doesn't, he has worked hard, right? Old Chen was already so old. Why would he be humiliated by Ye Fan!”
"Men! Go to the outside of the palace and call for the Imperial Guards Commander Ye Fan!”
At the Embroidered Uniform Guards encampment outside the Imperial Palace.
After Ye Fan saw the young eunuch outside the door, he asked,"What is it?"
"Chief, the emperor asked me to invite you over. Minister Ma has reported you to the emperor. You should be careful.”
Ye Fan nodded and said,"It's fine." You lead the way."
Seeing the young eunuch leave, Ye Fan turned to look at the other musketeers beside him and said," I'm going to the palace myself. The rest of you, help me with something…"
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Palace.
When Ye Fan had just stepped through the door, Ma Qi, who was at the side, jumped up and pointed at Ye Fan as he scolded angrily,"Ye Fan, you're crazy. I just didn't do what you wanted, and you want to kill my family? You've really let down the emperor's grace!"
Ye Fan ignored Ma Qi, who was like a mad dog, and turned to look at the Emperor."This lowly subject Ye Fan greets the emperor."
"Mm, no need for formalities."
"Ye Fan, let me ask you. Minister Ma said that you sent people to assassinate his wife and daughter, as well as his nine servants. Is this true?”
Ye Fan did not answer. Instead, he said regretfully,"Minister Ma's family is unfortunate. This lowly official has already heard of this matter from the people when I entered the palace. What a pity. Now that Minister Ma has lost his loved ones, it is inevitable that he will lose his mind.”
Yong Zheng saw Ye Fan's performance and smiled slightly.
Compared to Ye Fan, even if Ma Qi had lost his family, his behavior was really not worthy of the title of a first-grade official of the imperial court.
However, now was not the time to think about this. Yong Zheng turned his head to look at Ma Qi again and said,"Minister Ma, you said that this matter was done by Ye Fan. Do you have any evidence?”
Ma Qi said,"Your Majesty, today everyone in this lowly official's residence died under a kind of mysterious hidden weapon, and this kind of hidden weapon is extremely similar to the hidden weapons of Ye Fan's subordinates." "Moreover, I haven't made any enemies with anyone recently. Only this Ye Fan was not satisfied when he went to the Ministry of Revenue to get the silver. Moreover, when he left, he even said that he wanted to take revenge on me. If the emperor doesn't believe this, you can call the Minister of Works, Lord Xi, to prove it!"”
"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Yongzheng asked Ye Fan.”
In this way, it was already impossible to kill Ye Fan without solid evidence.
Therefore, he immediately changed his strategy. No matter what the truth was, he had to drag Ye Fan down with him!
This time, without waiting for Yong Zheng to speak, Ye Fan smiled and said,"Ye Fan can understand Lord Ma's lack of intelligence, but as a first-grade official of the imperial court, you can't be lacking in intelligence.”
"The emperor ordered Ye Fan to establish the Jinyiwei. I don't need to say much about its function. Its significance is even greater. However, the Emperor had clearly instructed the Ministry of Revenue in advance, so why did Ye Fan only get 10,000 taels of silver when he went to the Ministry of Revenue to collect silver?”
Ma Qi could tell that Ye Fan was scolding him for being stupid. His entire body trembled. He pointed at Ye Fan and said angrily,"Ye Fan! How dare you speak such foul words in front of the Emperor?!!!”
"The Ministry of Revenue manages the expenses of the court and has a huge expenditure. Some silver also needs to be used. Giving you 10,000 taels is already giving face to the emperor's grace. You're still not satisfied!"
