Summary of the previous chapter: The money transported by the Ma family from Ningyuan to Beijing turned out to be robbed halfway by the juniors of the Lu family...
Ma Xiaoquan received the emperor's instructions and immediately started to get involved in the training ground project.
Since Lu Zhan had already conspired with the Minister of Industry, they did not object to Ma Xiaoquan's intervention. However... Ma Xiaoquan's identity was the "supervisor". In view of his identity, the two old foxes specially set the construction period.
I suppressed him just to prevent Ma Xiaoquan from doing his job.
Ma Xiaoquan had already expected that since you don't give me any work, I will find work myself.
Supervisors in ancient times did not have a detailed division of labor like today. In modern society, there are supervisors for materials and supervisors for construction. In ancient times, supervisors were basically responsible for everything.
Ma Xiaoquan found someone to make a helmet in a decent manner, changed his outfit specially, and then went to the purchasing room.
The purchase of houses is the most important department in the entire training ground project. Although it has little power, it is extremely rich in oil and water. There are two people who control the purchase of houses. One is the brother-in-law of the Minister of Industry, and the other is
A member of the Lu family.
Ma Xiaoquan kicked open the door of the purchasing room and heard a burst of noise inside.
It turned out that the brother-in-law of the Minister of Industry was rolling over on the bed with a woman.
Ma Xiaoquan walked forward calmly, grabbed the guy's hair, and said: "Brother, buying a house is not a place where you use to prostitute women. Did you choose the wrong place?"
"You...you are Ma Xiaoquan, you...let me go!"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly, glanced at the guy's crotch, and said: "If I don't let go, buddy, if this matter comes to the emperor, I'm afraid that even if you don't die, you probably won't."
It will be cut, am I right?"
Ma Xiaoquan's words are true. There was a legislation in the Ming Dynasty, which stipulated that anyone who arbitrarily uses his office space as private property during the dynasty's projects will be severely punished and beheaded.
There is another very important reason... Ma Xiaoquan's status as a Jinyiwei.
The Jinyiwei is a department directly under the emperor. Its main responsibilities are investigation, assassination and other shady work. Ma Xiaoquan is now a fourth-grade Jinyiwei, and his power is very close to that of the commander-in-chief.
Of course, Ma Xiaoquan rarely exercises his power because he is afraid that using it too much will lead to false accusations. Therefore, he will exercise his power without reservation until it is necessary to exercise his power.
At present, the brother-in-law of the Minister of Industry has been caught by Ma Xiaoquan. Let alone Ma Xiaoquan exercising his powers, even if he fails to exercise his duties and powers, there is a high possibility that this guy will be beheaded.
"Ma... Ma Xiaoquan, I'm suing you. My brother-in-law is the Minister of Industry. If you dare to threaten me, I will make you walk around without food!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, nodded to this guy who was not afraid of death, and said: "Your threat is very good. I have written it down. Well, I will tell the emperor what you said as evidence in court."
"Ma Xiaoquan, don't use the emperor to suppress me. That carpenter emperor can't do anything!"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, and then felt overjoyed.
Zhu Youxiao is addicted to carpentry, but in terms of face, he doesn't like others talking about his hobby, especially calling him the Carpenter Emperor. If he hears this and implements it, he may even be punished by his clan.
The brother-in-law, Minister of Industry and Industry, reacted quickly. As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "Your Majesty has been wise and saintly for thousands of years. Ma Xiaoquan, you just scolded the Emperor, I wrote it down."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and patted the other party on the shoulder, saying: "Not bad, he is very good at raking! Well, not bad, not bad!" Ma Xiaoquan said, turned around and shouted outside the purchasing room, his voice fell, and he ran away immediately
Three guards in brocade clothes came in, carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists.
"Ma Xiaoquan, what are you going to do? What do you want to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan ignored it and just said softly to his three men: "You three, did you hear clearly what this guy just said?"
"Return to my lord, listen clearly!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, pull him down and torture him severely. Don't let up. When I go back, I hope to have his confession on my table!"
"yes!"
After saying that, the three Jinyi guards rushed forward aggressively and forcibly pulled the guy up.
"Ma Xiaoquan, do you dare?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Of course I dare, you insult the emperor in front of me, boy, don't forget who I am!"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said these words, the brother-in-law of the Minister of Industry suddenly remembered Ma Xiaoquan's identity as a royal guard, and his tone immediately softened.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to listen to his explanation at all. He waved his hand to pull him down quickly. The three guards nodded and dragged the unlucky guy away naked.
On the bed in the purchasing room, a delicate and pretty woman was shivering and covering her body with a quilt, looking at Ma Xiaoquan with horrified eyes.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, sat beside the bed, and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, but you have to tell me how you got here."
The woman looked at Ma Xiaoquan and shook her head vigorously.
Ma Xiaoquan's face darkened: "If you don't tell me, well, then I will sell you to a brothel, hum."
"Ah" the woman screamed as soon as she heard this, and then her tears flowed down.
Ma Xiaoquan's tone softened and he advised: "Girl, I guess you were pulled onto the bed by that guy unwillingly. It's okay. As long as you tell me how he pulled you here, I will leave a confession."
It’s none of your business. Not only that, I will also give you some money and arrange a good home for you..."
Upon hearing this, the woman choked up and said, "Sir... Sir, is everything you said true?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
The woman hummed and slowly narrated the process to Ma Xiaoquan.
...
When he returned to the office in the afternoon, several pages of paper were already placed on Ma Xiaoquan's desk. Ma Xiaoquan nodded, picked up the paper and looked at it, laughing with satisfaction. Then, he summoned one of the Jin Yiwei men and asked
: "How is the boy doing now?"
"Replying to my lord, I was a bit harsh at first, and then we broke one of my legs... Then I became more compliant, but my lord, we were a bit harsh..."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and asked: "How cruel is it?"
"Sir, I'm almost out of breath...but we're back again."
