Ma Lao Wu is a shrewd person, who can't see the current situation? The bigger the official, the more deadly the pressure, let alone so many levels higher. Whether it's Wu Bingxiang or Yao Qizhen, with just a flick of their finger, they can crush me to death. This is not the time to reason, I must clear myself quickly.

  "Director, I received a call from the railway police station saying that they had arrested an escaped prisoner and came to take him away. When I arrived, the Railway Protection Corps comrades were already here and tied me up. Director, you have to take charge of this!"

  Ma Lao Wu had a bitter face, and his acting skills were also excellent. Unfortunately, Wu Bingxiang didn't buy it at all, and with one kick, he kicked him to the side, smiling apologetically: "Brother Yao, for my sake, call off the escort troops, it's not good for outsiders to see."

  Yao Cizhang is a high-achieving student at Waseda University in Japan, with exceptionally strong logical analysis skills. He knows his own daughter better than anyone else, and this clever girl must be harboring some wicked intentions to deceive these foolish police officers. This can be seen from her outfit today.

  Yao Yire received a Western-style education from an early age, attending English classes at church school, using knives and forks to eat, and wearing only Western-style clothes. However, today she is wearing a Chinese-style cheongsam dress, which seems vaguely familiar, probably because it's one of the maid's dresses. What's even more suspicious is that she's wearing a pair of black canvas shoes for men. With this outfit, it's hard not to be misunderstood.

  Moreover, the captain of this road protection team stationed at the train station, Little Li, is also one of the pursuers of his daughter. This young officer who graduated from the Japanese Military Academy, like other young people, was infatuated with Lelai and would do anything foolish for her.

  Then there was the rickshaw boy, although Yao Zicong didn't usually manage household chores, he still knew the servants and maids, but this rickshaw boy had never been seen before, and besides, his own family didn't even use a rickshaw.

  Considering all these elements, the truth is still not entirely clear, but it's almost there. The daughter of the family used a trick to deceive this group of police officers. However, it's hard to sympathize with these police officers, who arrested people and even put handcuffs on their own precious daughter. If it were an ordinary citizen's daughter, wouldn't she have been in trouble?

  So, Yao Cizhang still gave Wu Bingxiang face and ordered the road protection army to withdraw. Captain Li waved his hand and the soldiers retreated like a tide. Then Yao Cizhang kicked the ball back to the other side: "Old Wu, what do you think we should do about this? My daughter is still wearing handcuffs."

  Wu Bingxiang is the Director-General of Police, and if he can't see through such a small trick after all these years, then it's been a waste of his time eating imperial rations. But when you reach his level as an official, you're not just considering one side of the issue; in fact, there's no difference to him whether or not someone misunderstands him.

  What he cares about is Yao's feelings, although the Deputy Minister of Communications is not superior to himself in terms of rank, but Yao Qizhen is after all a big general of the Communications Department, and has a particularly good relationship with Cao Rulin and his pro-Japanese faction, and also has a close relationship with Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng. Moreover, there are rumors that Deputy Minister Yao may take on the concurrent post of president of the Bank of Communications, this gentleman is a hot potato, no one dares to offend him.

  So, Wu Bingxiang made a decisive decision and issued an order: "The police station's director and below will be dismissed and investigated. If there are any illegal or disciplinary offenses, they will be handed over to the Supreme Court for disposal. Ma Wu will be suspended from duty pending disposal. All hooligans involved in the case will be strictly dealt with without delay. The General Supervisor represents the Police Department in apologizing to Miss Yao."

  After finishing, he surprisingly bowed deeply to Yao Yiren, which startled her. She quickly said: "Alright, alright, you're a fair and just director, I'm very satisfied. However, since my family's chauffeur was injured, shouldn't there be some explanation for that?"

  If it were someone else's young master who was so arrogant, Wu Bingxiang wouldn't say anything out loud, but he would definitely harbor resentment in his heart. However, Yao Yire was after all a 17 or 18-year-old girl, and she had a way of making people love her with her coquettish ways, born with the capital to be spoiled and willful. So Wu Bingxiang didn't take it seriously either, smiling as he said: "I'll send someone to take him to the hospital right away, all expenses covered by the police department." As he spoke, he personally unlocked Yao Yire's handcuffs, and the crisis was resolved without a hitch.

  Wu Bingxiang personally escorted Yao Cichang and his daughter out of the police station, while Chen Zikun tagged along and was taken to Heping Hospital for emergency treatment by a police car.

  After sending off the plague god, Wu Bingxiang returned to the police station, where a group of subordinates gathered around him: "Director, do you think it's..."

  "The train station is so chaotic, it's time to get it in order. Especially these good-for-nothing thugs, stop causing trouble for me!" Wu Bingxiang threw down a harsh sentence and turned around to leave.

  Poor Ma Lao San, half an hour ago he was still swaggering around the train station, now he's become a prisoner under arrest. But even more miserable is Pi Hou, it's all because of his false report of military information that brought about this disaster. A group of police rushed up and beat him with fists and kicks, in a short while he could only exhale without inhaling.

  ……

  The Ma family's compound, Second Master's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, with high fever and cold sweats, talking nonsense, on the verge of collapse.

  "Trash, all of you are trash! I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Old Master Ma stood in the courtyard, scolding loudly, but no one knew who he was scolding, and the servants all hid far away, not daring to get close.

  Ma Shihai scolded for a while, slightly relieving the evil spirit in his heart. His eldest son was already gone, and his second son was half-dead. As a father, how could he not be distressed? The most infuriating thing was those traditional Chinese medicine doctors and Western doctors who only took money but didn't do anything. It was because of them that Er'er's illness had been delayed.

  Fortunately, he came to his senses and realized that the injury on his buttocks was different from others, so he had to ask a professional to take a look. Therefore, he sent someone to invite Liu, the successor of Xiaodao Liu in Fangzhuan Hutong, Di'anmennei, to diagnose and treat Lao Er.

  Xiao Dao Liu Ke is not an ordinary person. In the past, he worked as a servant in the Imperial Palace and was in charge of handling matters for the eunuchs who entered the palace during the Tongzhi Emperor's reign. He had a unique set of skills. Now that Old Xiao Dao Liu has passed away, his son has inherited his legacy and is also known as Xiao Dao Liu. Although the Xuantong Emperor no longer accepts new people into the palace, the craftsmanship remains.

  Tao Che invited people to his mansion, but Liu Zhen was no ordinary person. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "No, this won't do. First, use window paper to seal all doors and windows, not a single thread of air is allowed to leak."

  Old Master Ma hastily arranged for someone to do it, and accompanied Xiao Dao Liu to check the wound of Lao Er. After opening the Western-style bandage, Xiao Dao Liu immediately frowned: "Ridiculous!"

  "What's wrong?" Ma Shihai hastily asked.

  "The wound below the knife is not like other places, if it gets blocked and urine can't come out, people will suffocate to death." Little Knife Liu said, taking out a wax stick and inserting it into the wound, then gently covering it with the brought grass paper.

  "After three days, take out the wax strip and urinate, and the person will be fine," said Little Knife Liu.

  His nostrils suddenly flared and he asked: "Has the patient had a bowel movement?"

  The servant replied: "We serve the second master."

  "Has the patient eaten yet?" Little Liu's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

  "Yes, the doctor said that nutrition should keep up. Yesterday, Second Master drank milk and ate beef, and this morning he had bean juice and meat buns..."

  The servant had not finished speaking when Little Liu waved his hand for him to shut up.

  "Old Master Ma, I don't think this illness is looking good, you'd better be prepared for the worst." Little Knife Liu nodded and walked out.

  Ma Shihai hastily asked: "Master, what did you mean by this?"

  "Those who are fasting, strictly forbid eating and drinking, otherwise the wound will be contaminated with feces and urine, even gods can't save it. Your second master has eaten so much already, I'm also helpless, see you later." He then hastily left.

  Ma Shi Hai was furious, brandishing a rattan stick to chase and beat the servants. The house was in an uproar, with chickens flying and dogs jumping around. Suddenly, Old Five's groom rushed in to report that Third Master and Fifth Master had both been defeated!

  Ma Shihai was momentarily at a loss, "Folded in, folded where?"

  "Third Master was taken directly to prison, Fifth Master had his epaulets and shoulder badges removed and is being held at the police station."

  It's really a case of "when it rains, it pours", with the second son's life hanging in the balance and the third and fifth sons also getting into trouble one after another. Old Master Ma felt dizzy and his chest was churning with anger, but he suppressed it and asked in a low voice: "Who have we offended?"

  Ma Biandao said: "Offended the Deputy Minister of Communications, Yao, and the Director-General of the Police Department, Wu, personally ordered an investigation."

  "Alright, I know." Old Master Ma weakly waved his hand, his steps somewhat unsteady. His sons were not doing a good job, it seemed he had to take matters into his own hands.

  Ma Shihai had been in the capital for many years and had seen all sorts of situations. As long as he was willing to spend money, there were no troubles that couldn't be solved. However, this time the trouble was a bit bigger, and the expenses wouldn't be small either. He first instructed someone to prepare 1,000 yuan, exchange it for 20-yuan bills at the money shop, and put them in a box in preparation for visiting his son's superior, Li Dingbang, that night, asking Li Zhengzhong to mediate and see how much money it would take to settle this matter.

  ……

  Ma's family was busy smoothing out relationships while Yao Yire was at home being questioned by her father.

  "What's going on?" asked Yao Cizhang, puffing on his pipe as he sat in a recliner.

  "Dad, I don't understand what you're saying." Yao Yire changed back into her Western clothes and stood behind the chaise longue, massaging her father's shoulders on purpose.

  "Hum, where did the driver at home come from? Your aunt went to Shanghai last week, who are you going to find in Tianjin? Besides, how timely is the road protection army, as soon as you enter the police station they came over. If you don't give dad a clear explanation, then don't eat dinner."

  Actually, Yao Cizhang is also a hypocrite. His daughter's absurd behavior has gone too far, and today's incident isn't anything out of the ordinary, but he still needs to ask questions.

  Yao Yilei wasn't afraid at all, pouting and saying: "If you don't eat then don't eat, I was just thinking of losing weight anyway. Bad Daddy, I won't let you pinch me."

  Yao Cizhang sighed bitterly and could do nothing about it.

  The phone on the table rang, Yao Yile went to answer it and handed over the receiver: "Dad, Uncle Cao is looking for you."

  It was Cao Rulin's phone call. Yao Cichang hastily picked it up, said a few words and hung up the phone, saying to his daughter: "I'll go out for a while, you be good."

  As soon as Father left, Yao Yile sat still and arranged Ah Fu to prepare the car to go to Xiehe Hospital.

  Arrived at Concord Hospital, asked the nurse on duty, which ward is the injured person sent by police car today.

  The nurse said: "What wounded soldier? That man just had some red marks on his back and wasn't injured at all, he went home early."
