Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan spread the news that he was giving away people, and sure enough... not long after, Tian Ergeng and Longtian fought over the guy named Liu...
Ma Xiaoquan changed into simple clothes and put a covering hat on his head. Then, he borrowed a human skin mask from Li Qinghan and gently put it on his face.
Facing the bronze mirror, Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, and boasted: "Oh, hey, I am really a handsome guy. Is it so handsome?" As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan made a few deliberate moves,
Behind him, Li Qinghan and the three girls were seen covering their mouths and laughing softly.
"Okay, Ma Xiaoquan, please stop croaking. Don't you want to go out? Why don't you go quickly?" Dongfang Qingxue said with a smile.
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "Hey, hey, go now, go now, well, I have to go alone for this matter. You three are so beautiful. I don't worry about being dragged outside. You guys, just wait for me.
News."
"Well, then you should also pay attention to your safety."
"good"
...
After bidding farewell to the three daughters, Ma Xiaoquan slipped out of a side door of Ma's house that was not often opened. When he slipped out, there was no one around. Of course, just because there was no one around did not mean that no one was watching, so even before Ma Xiaoquan came out, he had already
He arranged for his confidants to thoroughly clean up the environment around the side door.
Ma Xiaoquan walked down the steps, looked around a few times, and then quickly ducked into the alley.
Just when he entered the alley, not far from the side door, a few sly-looking guys came out with their heads poked out.
"You guys, please follow closely, Eunuch Wei has ordered you to keep an eye on every door of the Ma family." The leader said in a sinister manner.
Someone behind said: "Eunuch Qiao, the Ma family's Jinyi guards came out to clean up this place. Do you think someone might have slipped out of the Ma family while we were away?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Even if you sneak out and come back, you can't say yes. Do you understand?"
"yes"
...
After passing through the alley, Ma Xiaoquan got into the crowd of people in Beijing.
Once he disappeared into the crowd, Ma Xiaoquan no longer stood out. There were so many people traveling to and from Beijing that people dressed like Ma Xiaoquan would be easily spotted in Beijing.
Walking to a fruit stall, Ma Xiaoquan deliberately asked the stall owner in a foreign dialect: "Boss, how do you sell pears?"
The stall owner nodded and asked, "Brother, judging from your accent, you are from out of town, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, I'm a businessman in the area. I came to Beijing to find a relative. By the way, boss, why was it that I was interrogated as soon as I came in? Did you say you wanted to investigate Jurchen spies or something like that?"
The stall owner shook his head and said: "Brother, you really asked the right person. It happens that a cousin of mine works in the East Factory. Well, he is not an eunuch..." The stall owner did not doubt Ma Xiaoquan.
He was very talkative and told Ma Xiaoquan some of the news that his cousin had told him.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded while listening to the news. When it was over, he bought a few more pears.
Walking on the road, Ma Xiaoquan was nibbling a pear in his hand and thinking about what the stall owner just said.
Although Ma Xiaoquan knew very well where Tian Ergen and Long Tian were fighting, that place was not a place that ordinary people could go. Besides, even if Ma Xiaoquan went there in his current capacity, he would probably not be able to get in.
, because that place is also a club, and it is... Wei Zhongxian's club.
Speaking of Wei Zhongxian's club, Ma Xiaoquan felt a little angry. When he first established the Heaven and Earth Club, Wei Zhongxian simply built a similar club. Although the staff in the club were not as high-level as Ma Xiaoquan's Heaven and Earth Club,
The entertainment items inside are much more than those in heaven and earth.
Ma Xiaoquan also admitted that since Wei Zhongxian's club opened, some of his customers have been diverted away, but fortunately, the customers in heaven and earth are not all here to have fun, but mainly to talk about things.
, so... From the current point of view, Beijing City is still the most high-end in Ma Xiaoquan's heaven and earth.
However... as a competitor, Ma Xiaoquan has always regarded Wei Zhongxian's club as a thorn in his side. Similarly, Wei Zhongxian also secretly stated that Ma Xiaoquan's Heaven and Earth is a thorn in his side. Although the two have never had a direct conflict,
But when it comes to the operation of the club, no one is slacking off.
Of course, because Wei Zhongxian was uneducated and illiterate, many of the entertainment projects he created were vulgar, but Ma Xiaoquan was different. He knew very well how sanctimonious the guys who came to the heaven and earth club were, so
When it comes to saving face, Ma Xiaoquan has put a lot of effort into it, and the results he has received are naturally very good. For example...he is also here for a drink, and Wei Zhongxian's club has sent a girl to accompany him as a drinker from the very beginning.
Ma Xiaoquan's club provides customers with the right to choose on their own. Customers can choose, or not choose, single choice, or multiple choices. Although the business intentions of Ma Xiaoquan and Wei Zhongxian are not much different, in the eyes of the guests,
, the level of comfort was different. Not long after, it was spread in Beijing that the heaven and earth were high-end, while Wei Zhongxian’s club was low-end...
Of course, Wei Zhongxian is unwilling to give up on continuing to compete with Ma Xiaoquan on the club matter. Since there is no way to compete with Heaven and Earth on the high and low ends, he has to do more projects than the other party. Not to mention, since Wei Zhongxian did this
, the business of his club is indeed much better than before. If there are more people, it will naturally attract some customers who come here. The more customers there are, the more powerful people will gradually appear.
At this moment, in Wei Zhongxian's club, Longtian and Tian Ergeng were fighting over a boy named Liu.
Since both of them were members of the Imperial Guard, it was difficult for them to get into too much trouble. After a fight, the two decided to make a bet to determine the outcome. As for the content of the bet, it was more interesting.
Some hopeless guy came up with the bad idea of betting on the number of hairs on the head of any guest.
Jin Yiwei has always done things vigorously and resolutely. After the two agreed to the bet, they immediately sent people to block the road and capture the customers.
The body, hair and skin are affected by the parents, and the person involved must not be willing to have all the hair cut off.
Although Jin Yiwei's notoriety spread all over the country, this time there was no commotion because... in name he was catching the guests coming and going, but in fact he was paying them.
Beijing was a gathering place for the rich in the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time there were also many poor people.
Jin Yiwei arrested several poor people, and after giving them two taels of silver, he picked up a razor and cut off the hair of these poor people.
