Ma Qiandao said anxiously: "Quick, come out to meet him!"
Zhu Youxiao didn't have to wait outside for too long before he saw a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming out.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the centurion, said nothing, and walked straight in.
Ma Qiandao wanted to come forward, but was stopped by Qi Yuangong with a stern face.
Wei Chao walked up to Ma Qiandao, waved the token in his hand in front of him and said, "Sir, let's go in and talk."
"I dare not, I dare not, I dare not." Ma Qiandao said quickly: "Please come in."
After saying that, Ma Qiandao quickly ran a few steps and walked directly to the front to lead the way.
Soon, the group walked in and arrived at the lobby of the hundred households.
The entrance was naturally taken over by Qi Yuangong and his men, and the surrounding Jinyiwei were not allowed to approach at all.
Zhu Youxiao sat directly in the main seat.
Ma Qiandao was standing below.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Ma Qiandao and asked, "What's your name?"
Ma Qiandao was stunned. Isn't this a bit arrogant? Even the Southern Pacification Division can't act like this, right?
However, he still said cautiously: "My name is Ma Qiandao. May I know your name, sir?"
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said nothing.
He hadn't figured out what to say.
Wei Chao on the side reacted faster. He took a step forward and said, "You don't need to know the name of our master. I came here this time to ask you something."
"Please forgive me, sir. If it's just a token, I'm afraid I can't obey your order." Ma Qiandao said expressionlessly.
He had already begun to doubt the identities of the people before him. Just a token was not enough to explain the problem.
"That's right." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Your idea is absolutely right. Then I'll tell you my name. I'm Xu Xianchun."
After hearing this, Ma Qiandao shook his head, reached out and pressed the knife at his waist, and said in a somewhat fierce tone: "You can't be Lord Xu Xianchun. I have met Lord Xu Xianchun before. I used to be a captain under him. Who are you? Why don't you tell me your name? What is your purpose in coming here?"
"Someone come here!" After saying that, Ma Qiandao shouted to the outside.
Zhu Youxiao was helpless and a little embarrassed.
The attempt to show off failed.
A token from the Southern Pacification Office really couldn't convince the people below. In fact, it was indeed so. Without official credentials, he couldn't continue to forge it.
The attempt to impersonate Xu Xianchun failed. This guy actually knew Xu Xianchun. What a mistake.
"I didn't expect you to know Xu Xianchun." Zhu Youxiao stood up and said with a smile, and at the same time said to Wei Chao beside him: "Okay, then let's show our cards. I won't pretend anymore."
After hearing this, Ma Qiandao was stunned.
I?
emperor?
This made him hesitate.
It’s not because he believed Zhu Youxiao, nor was it because he was scared, but because the crime of impersonating the emperor was punishable by the death of nine generations of the family, and most people would not dare to do that.
Could this person really be the emperor?
Ma Qiandao had to be careful.
Is there anyone who dares to impersonate?
Ma Qiandao hesitated and stood there in a daze for a moment.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Wei Chao came directly to Ma Qiandao and showed the thing to Ma Qiandao.
The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department has the official certificate and official seal.
Qi Yuangong also came forward and showed Ma Qiandao the badge and official credentials of the commander of the Imperial Guard. Most importantly, he also showed him the pistol at his waist, and said with a smile, "Do you recognize this? Since you are Xu Xianchun's man, you should be familiar with this, right?"
Ma Qiandao was stunned when he saw the pistol on Qi Yuangong's waist.
He did not look at Qi Yuangong, but turned to look at Zhu Youxiao. Without the slightest hesitation, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed with a trembling body, and said: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I do not know your Majesty's face and have offended you rudely. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
"Get up." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "You did a good job."
Ma Qiandao stood up tremblingly and stepped aside.
He had no choice but to believe the reality. The eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department were serving him, and the chief imperial guards were guarding him nearby. No one else had such treatment except the emperor.
Look at the official seal in his hand, and then look at the gun on his waist.
Ma Qiandao had actually seen this pistol before, because Xu Xianchun also had a pistol, which was a reward from the emperor. It had various numbers on it, but Ma Qiandao had only seen it once from a distance.
Because the gun was kept by Xu Xianchun at home, it was not allowed to be seen easily.
Xu Xianchun also told Ma Qiandao that this kind of gun is basically not seen outside. Apart from the meritorious officials who were rewarded, the only ones equipped with this gun are the emperor's personal guards, and no one else.
Under such circumstances, Ma Qiandao had no choice but to believe it.
When he stood up from the ground, Zhu Youxiao sat back down again.
Unexpectedly, his identity was exposed before he even left Shuntian Prefecture and only reached Xianghe County.
It seems that this incognito visit plan is going to fail.
"I came here because I saw refugees on the road, all of them seeking survival in the capital from Xianghe. I was very curious. Xianghe County isn't suffering from famine, so why are these people fleeing?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Ma Qiandao and said, "So I came here to ask you, the Jinyiwei, if you know what's going on."
After hearing this, Ma Qiandao was not afraid or frightened, but became excited instead.
Taking a step forward, Ma Qiandao said, "Your Majesty, I know about this matter!"
