Summary of the previous chapter: After assigning the task, Ma Xiaoquan leisurely led Dongfang Qingxue to visit the mountain town, while Bei Mingshuang took it upon herself to "help" Ma Xiaoquan get rid of those people who looked suspicious to her. In response, Ma Xiaoquan
Feeling helpless and distressed...
These two bags were not big, but they seemed to be filled to the brim without any holes. Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly and asked one of them: "Did you buy what I wanted in this bag?"
"Yes," the man said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Open it and let me see"
The man hummed, knelt down and opened the bundle.
Dongfang Qingxue stepped forward and counted the items in the bag according to the pre-assigned task list. After confirming that there were no problems, she nodded to Ma Xiaoquan.
After receiving Dongfang Qingxue's affirmation, Ma Xiaoquan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't have high hopes. After all, with the money in hand, the bad roots of human nature will be exposed. Ma Xiaoquan himself can't guarantee that he will get the money.
Could there be any dissent, let alone these unknown people?
Now, at least there are two people standing in front of me. One is already qualified, so the other one should not have much problem.
Sure enough, after Dongfang Qingxue checked the second person's baggage, she also gave Ma Xiaoquan a positive answer.
"Very good." Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction and gave the two people a thumbs up, "You have completed the task I assigned, so... you can stay."
The two of them were naturally very happy when they heard they were hired.
"But..." Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "For the safety of all of us, I need you to pick up your family and go with you until all my things are done.
, I will give you and your family some reasonable arrangements."
Among the two, one of them didn't have any objections. After all, he had just gotten married and his wife happened to be with him. As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said it, the man immediately nodded in agreement; while the other one, because his family was not around, did not give.
Ma Xiaoquan replied quickly.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and threw ten taels of silver to each of them, saying: "Take it to buy some decent clothes, and then give some money to the family. Well, it doesn't matter if the family doesn't come. I'll tell you the location, and you can ask them to go directly."
Just go there and meet up.”
The two of them were holding the twelve taels of silver rewarded by Ma Xiaoquan in their hands, and they were very excited. It seemed that this performance had won them a generous master.
"Also" Ma Xiaoquan put forward the last condition, "From now on, you will call me master, and those women will all be my wives. You must also respect my wives as much as you respect me. If you have any objections or other ideas,
Let me discover it, and the clan will punish you!"
The two of them had seen Ma Xiaoquan's thunderous methods beforehand. People of their generation would naturally show their loyalty as long as they could find a backer.
The two of them looked at each other, knelt down and said: "Master, don't worry, I will serve my master loyally."
"Okay" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, "Go down and someone will tell you what to do next."
"yes"
...
After watching the two people leave, Hua Yue stepped forward, punched Ma Xiaoquan, and said angrily: "Ma San, what are you talking about? Who is your wife?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Sister Yue, isn't it easy for me to do things? Besides, I didn't mention which ones, are you overthinking them?"
"You, you bad guy, really love to take advantage!" Hua Yue said with a blushing face.
Hua Qingqing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ma San, why, you want me to be your wife, you can, but you have to pay the betrothal gift first. Well, our family has a lot of betrothal gifts, but you are rich,
It’s okay, hehe”
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Go, go, little girl, what are you mixing in?"
"Humph" Hua Qingqing pursed her lips and ignored Ma Xiaoquan.
Dongfang Qingxue stepped forward and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Well, are they just these two people?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked up at the sky and tutted: "Probably not, I'll wait. Well, you go to eat first, just bring me some."
"Um"
Time passed by bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye it was already dark.
Since the two people who came first in the evening, three more people have returned one after another. However, these three people did not return as loaded as the previous two people. On the contrary, all three people were injured to varying degrees.
After Ma Xiaoquan inquired, he learned the reason for the injuries of the three people: It turned out that the original intention of the three people was to complete the task, but the money was not in their hands, so after setting off as a group, their team leader and some of the team members had a problem.
They had the idea of embezzling money. During the quarrel, some people agreed to share the money, while others did not agree, so they started fighting... Ma Xiaoquan did not ask if there were any specific deaths.
All that is needed now is the results.
"Well, I understand." Ma Xiaoquan nodded and threw five taels of silver to each of the three people. "Go and have a rest, bandage the wound properly, and wait for my news."
The three people caught the money and didn't understand what Ma Xiaoquan meant.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and explained: "You can stay. Someone will notify you of the specific matters later. Well, that's it, go on."
"yes"
...
After waiting for a night, the number of people who finally returned was fixed at five. Although it exceeded Ma Xiaoquan's plan, Ma Xiaoquan was not too happy. After all, the world is becoming more and more unsafe. Can these five people help him go smoothly?
Taking over the copper mine is still unknown, and everything can only be decided after arriving at the destination.
...
After recruiting the personnel, Ma Xiaoquan had no intention of staying in the mountaintop town anymore. After packing everything, Ma Xiaoquan led the group and set off immediately.
Since five new people were recruited, plus Can Xinyi had six available subordinates, it was impossible for these six people to follow him on foot all the time. In view of this, Ma Xiaoquan divided the mounts of Hua Yue, Hua Qingqing, and Dongfang Qingxue among them.
After leaving these six people, Ma Xiaoquan arranged for the three girls to enter the carriage borrowed from the Hua family. As for Bei Mingshuang, Ma Xiaoquan also intended to arrange for her to enter the carriage, so that one more horse would be available, but she had to ride a horse.
Follow Ma Xiaoquan, okay, just ride a horse, as long as you don't run around again.
More than ten days passed, and Ma Xiaoquan led a group of people to hurry up and finally arrived at the destination at the end of the month.
It was already autumn at this time, and it was freezing cold. Ma Xiaoquan was riding on his horse. He looked back at Bei Mingshuang worriedly and asked, "Miss Shuang, it's a bit cold outside. I guess you can get in the car too?"
