C378 Who's the Bastard
C378 Who's the Bastard
This made people jealous and hateful.
Ordinary people did not know their identity, but only made guesses.
However, the upper echelons of Molan Country knew about it.
They hated it too.
They knew that they were from the Sun Moon Country, and they also knew that they were only Xiao Yun's captives.
When he came earlier, he had heard that he was still working as a human carriage driver.
They pulled a huge horse carriage along the road.
But now, he had become a group of wealthy tycoons in the capital?
He had almost bought all the women in the most famous brothels in the capital.
This was a little aggravating.
But hate was hate.
They didn't dare to do anything.
Why?
Even if they were captives, they were still from the Sun Moon Country!
The number one country in the world.
Furthermore, they were not prisoners from the Molan Country, but Xiao Yun's prisoners.
Comparatively speaking, outsiders were hateful, but they were not hated to a certain degree.
The thing that made people angry and resentful the most was always the traitor!
Take Old Man Ma's subordinates for example.
Because they were close to Xiao Yun, although they were the guards along the way, they had a good relationship with the soldiers of Sun Moon Country.
They helped them a little.
So after the soldiers of Sun Moon Country became rich, they didn't forget about them.
He also gave them some benefits.
Furthermore, General Wan was not that bad at being human.
Xiao Yun did not ask for the salary he had brought, and Old Man Ma was also embarrassed to snatch it, but in reality, this money could be completely taken away.
Now that it was in his hands, he even gave it away.
How could General Wan, who knew how to behave, not do anything?
Of course, he had left a large portion of it for Old Man Ma to make arrangements for him.
Initially, he thought that Old Man Ma would keep most of it for himself and then send some more.
But he didn't expect that Old Man Ma would give all of the money to his subordinates!
Hence, these fellows were usually taken care of by others. They treated them to a meal, treated them well, and had a substantial amount of money that they could take.
More importantly, every one of them was specially conferred an official position by His Majesty!
It was simply like all the benefits in the world had been taken by them.
Although they had exchanged their lives for these things, and Xiao Yun and Old Man Ma had promised them the same thing in the past.
However, they had never thought that there would be so many benefits.
Therefore, when they obtained the official position, they would bring glory to their ancestors, as well as real money.
What was even worse was that they all had family matters.
Most of them were not in the capital.
Now that they were rich, wouldn't they have to bring their parents, wives, and friends into Beijing?
Thus, the officials saw a bunch of country bumpkins, who they looked down upon, rush into Mo City.
They bought a big house, good clothes, and even some girls.
As for those people who came from small places, they would instantly realize the disadvantages of being a nouveau riche.
For example... floating!
One of Old Man Ma's subordinates was called Li Er.Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfox Editor: Lifer, Editor: Lifer, Editor: Lifer, Editor: Lifer, Editor: Lifer, Fingerfox
Li Er was surnamed Li, and he was the second son in the family.
The eldest son of the family died in the famine in his early years. Out of the seven brothers and sisters, only three survived.
Li Er counted as one.
There was also Li Si, his younger sister, and Li Liu, his younger brother.
Li Er didn't have any shortcomings from other upstarts. He ate, drank, gambled, and didn't have any big pursuits, but the only thing he felt indebted to was his younger brother and sister.
He had risked his life outside, but he couldn't take care of them at home. This was what he felt he owed them.
Moreover, once he died outside, his family wouldn't be able to get any money. How would he let them live then?
Choosing this profession was already quite a heavy burden for his family.
Thus, now that he had struck it rich, he wanted to let the two of them live a good life.
Li Si was still alright. After all, he was a girl. There were not many temptations in the outside world, and he did not go out often.
But Li Liu could not.
He did not know where he found a few lackeys. They went out day and night to cause trouble. Not only were they brave and fierce, but they were also gambling.
After losing all the money he had given him, he put down the promissory note.
He felt that he had lost face. Matters like face were very fatal.
He would keep it a secret.
He was the only one who held on.
In any case, his brother was at the height of his power, and they probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
He thought very well.
But he didn't know anything about Mo City.
Behind that casino was an important official of the court, and he was extremely annoyed by Xiao Yun's matter.
Now, someone had actually climbed onto his head and slapped him. How could he tolerate it?
He had someone grab Li Liu and cut off one of his arms, then sent him to the Lee family.
When Li Er saw this, he was so shocked that he almost fainted.
The courage of a soldier erupted, and he went straight to the door to argue with someone.
In the end, the money was not left behind, and the person was crippled as well.
It was not that he was showing off, but he also drank some wine. Relying on the smell of alcohol, he raised his knife and rushed in, wanting to save the person.
The other person chopped Li Liu in front of him.
Then, he swung his knife at him.
His eyes turned red from killing.
If it wasn't for Old Man Ma's men arriving in time, he would have been chopped into minced meat a long time ago.
This news quickly spread to Old Man Ma.
He was immediately angered to death!
Yes, he had made a great contribution.
But he, the dignified Third Prince, had not gone mad yet. Why did his subordinates fail to settle the matter first?
For those who suddenly made a move, the first thing they had to do was to take care of their own family, so as to avoid a fire in the backyard.
Otherwise, something would happen sooner or later.
He had long known that such a thing would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
At that time, he was so angry that he wished he could chop Li Er into pieces!
But... his heart ached too.
After all, it was not Li Er who caused trouble. Although Li Er's way of dealing with things was very reckless, he was still his subordinate after all.
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, it still depends on the owner. Wasn't it obvious that the other party was going to splash sh * t on his face?
But... what could he do?
For a fellow who caused trouble for himself, he went to fight with a high-ranking official of the imperial court? Or even to fight?
Who cares, forget about making trouble for the king, if it were to cause trouble for Xiao Yun, who knows what Xiao Yun would do.
But if he did not care, his subordinates would be watching.
If he gave in, his heart would be lost.
Who would work for him in the future?
How could his subordinates be so wise? Can they understand this matter?
If you don't care, they will think that you don't want to care. They will think that once this kind of thing happens to you, you will definitely be abandoned in the end.
Then what are you selling your life for?
To put it bluntly, there were no aristocratic families' inheritances to begin with, so none of them had any thoughts of working hard. They were all destined to be subordinates for the rest of their lives, their status and wealth. He simply did not know how to protect them, and could only hope that the people above him could support him.
He didn't have the slightest intention of being responsible for his actions!
Therefore, Old Man Ma was very conflicted.
They were two sides of the same coin, and he was stuck in the middle, unable to be a person.
He had no choice but to drag it out.
In the end, it hadn't even been for a few days...
Good fellow, I suddenly have the right!
Then, after carefully checking...
Good fellow!
A high ranking official of the Imperial Court actually did not have that many subordinates. He could resist Old Man Ma's hundred or so subordinates head on. In that kind of battle, there were even dozens of officials involved.
They all had people!
Then, when he had the power.
The officials in the court were all wary of his revenge.
His subordinates also began to encourage him to deal with those officials.
In almost an instant, the direction of the wind in the royal court changed.
It became an open and covert struggle.
It was obvious that they were divided into two factions.
The young faction led by the Third Prince Old Man Ma and the Conservatives that most of the ministers insisted on.
When the two groups of people started a fight, they did not care about the national economy or the livelihood of the people. They only wanted to get rid of the other party first!
King of Molan was also helpless about this.
He was even very shocked.
How could he have thought that such a sh * tty incident would happen in the Molan Country?
If not for Xiao Yun's request, he would have even wanted to dismiss Mo!
Wasn't this causing more trouble?
And this matter was also quickly known by Xiao Yun.
The palace maids and concubines who stayed by Xiao Yun's side immediately told him about this matter.
In their words, they also spoke to the Conservatives.
They described the Third Prince as someone who had committed a heinous crime.
He said that he had once looked honest and honest, but he had never thought that he would be the kind of person who would pick up a bowl to eat, put down the bowl, and curse.
He had just obtained a tiny bit of power, and he was about to go against the entire Imperial Court.
His subordinates killed people on the streets, but they didn't care about it. Not only did they protect their own children, they even punished those officials who protected themselves.
They were simply bastards to the extreme!
