Summary of the previous chapter: Mrs. Ye came to the door at night and asked Ma Xiaoquan to rescue her nephew...
Ma Xiaoquan was embarrassed by his actions: "Mrs. Ye, it is a great honor for me to help you, but this is a high-level management... eh"
Although Mrs. Ye is a woman, she has been married to Ye Xianggao for many years, and she is also very clear about official affairs.
"Deacon Ma, here, here is 20,000 taels. If it's not enough, tell me again. Well, there's this..." Mrs. Ye said, wiping off the jade bracelet on her wrist and handing it to Ma Xiaoquan.
.
"Mrs. Ye, what are you..." Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised. The prodigal named Liu was just her nephew. For such a worthless piece of trash, Madam Ye spent money on herself.
The bracelets were all put in.
"Deacon Ma, listen to me, listen to me, this bracelet of mine is a jade bracelet given by the late emperor. Well, it is worth more than 30,000 taels. If the money is not enough, Deacon Ma will take this bracelet and pawn it.
As long as I can save my nephew, I'll do anything..."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed inwardly, but still put the bracelet away.
After sending Mrs. Ye away, Ma Xiaoquan took out the bracelet again and played with it carefully in his hands.
Seeing this, Li Qinghan asked for the bracelet from Ma Xiaoquan and asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, this bracelet is worth a lot of money..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Ah?" Li Qinghan looked surprised, "Really, did you really give it to me?"
"Yeah, seeing as you like it so much, it doesn't hurt to give it to you."
Li Qinghan bit his lower lip lightly, thought for a moment, then shook his head and returned the jade bracelet to Ma Xiaoquan: "I can't take it. This is what Mrs. Ye used to save her nephew. Even if I took it, I wouldn't have the shame to wear it."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, then I'll just pawn this bracelet."
"No, Ma Xiaoquan!" Li Qinghan stopped him, "Can you keep this bracelet?"
"Keep it? Why?"
"If...I mean if...if you can rescue Mrs. Ye's nephew and return the bracelet to Zhao intact...Ma Xiaoquan, I think from now on, Mr. Ye will...
Nothing will happen to you."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, and then he slapped his forehead hard: "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Qinghan, you are really my good wife, that's right... If I tell this
Once it’s done, I’ll return the bracelet. Well, I’ll blow pillows on Mrs. Ye every day for that old guy Ye Xianggao. I guess Ye Xianggao won’t even dare to do anything to me in the future.”
Li Qinghan's face turned red and he lowered his head slightly.
"But..." Ma Xiaoquan suddenly sneered, "Although that kid can survive, I will never make it easy for him..."
Li Qinghan raised his head and gave a deep grunt: "I think so too, but Ma Xiaoquan, what are you going to do? If you don't do it well, it will be very detrimental to you."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and said: "Of course I won't do it myself. Well, not only will I not do it myself, I will also borrow a knife to kill people, oh no, I will borrow a stick to beat people."
"How do you do that?"
Ma Xiaoquan's lips curled up: "I have my own sense of discretion, hehe."
...
Two days later, a deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard came to Ma Xiaoquan and chatted with Ma Xiaoquan.
The deputy commander's name was Longtian, and he didn't have much interaction with Ma Xiaoquan.
The deputy commander was from the third rank, and Ma Xiaoquan was from the second rank. In terms of official rank, Ma Xiaoquan was two ranks higher than the other commander. However, Ma Xiaoquan did not act like a superior, but rather entertained the other party warmly.
"Haha... Mr. Long is looking for me... just to chat about home affairs, right?" Ma Xiaoquan asked while pouring tea.
Takata nodded: "That's right... Mr. Deacon, I heard that you recently arrested a guy named Liu?"
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "Mr. Long's ears are really well-informed. Yes, he caught one, um, from the Ministry of Punishment. This person was reported and said to be a Jurchen spy."
"A Jurchen spy? No way?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged his shoulders: "I don't think so, but the evidence is conclusive, and there is no evidence to retract the confession. Mr. Long, I think this person is dead."
"Uh," Takata thought for a moment and said, "Deacon, please don't talk too much about me. You shouldn't be able to enjoy such a good thing all to yourself, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and glanced at Longtian, who was shocked and smiled awkwardly.
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan suddenly smiled, "What are you talking about, Mr. Long? We are both Jin Yiwei, and Mr. Long is older than me. Even if you don't tell me, I would still want to share it with you.
....."
"Oh? Mr. Deacon, do you really mean what you say?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Of course, but..." Ma Xiaoquan changed the subject, "Mr. Long, it's not me who said it. Before you, several other deputy commanders also approached me about specific matters.
Son...well, you know."
"Huh? They also looked for you?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, Mr. Long, please let me talk more. There are factions in our Jinyi Guards. You know this, right?"
The commander nodded and sighed: "Yes, I feel worried when the deacon talks about this matter. I think that I, Takata, have been hanging around in the Jinyi Guards for so many years. No matter what, I should be..." Takata
At this point, I suddenly felt something was not right, so I quickly laughed and said no more.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "According to me, Mr. Long should be the best candidate for the commander, hey."
Longtian's eyes flashed and he said happily: "Master Deacon, what you said..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Master Long is senior and prudent in his actions. We all work on errands for the emperor. In fact, I know your ability in handling errands."
Longtian cupped his hands and said: "Deacon, you are a popular person around the emperor. If you have the opportunity, I hope you can say a few kind words for me in front of the emperor. I, Longtian, will thank you."
"Hey, sir, what are you talking about? You and I are both royal guards, why should we separate ourselves from each other? In this way, I will give you this prisoner."
"Ah? Mr. Deacon, what...what are you doing?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Hey, there are too many things going on at home recently, and it's a bit overwhelming. Anyway, you and I are both royal guards. Aren't my trials the same as yours?"
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Deacon. Then...I'll take my leave first."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and made a farewell gesture: "Okay, then I won't see you off. Mr. Long will go slowly."
