Summary of the previous chapter: Jiang Batian raped the Niu family's little girl to death, and the Niu family brothers didn't know yet...
"Then what should I do? Now that my sister has become his, what do you want me to do?"
Niu Sandao: "Brother, why don't we two leave?"
Niu Er scolded: "You bastard, don't you care, little sister? It's a shame that you are still the second brother, and you can say such heartless words."
Niu San blushed and said, "Didn't you say that my little sister is with Jiang Batian?"
Niu Er sighed: "No matter what, we still have to see my little sister. Even if we quit and leave, we can leave with peace of mind."
"Well, okay"
Just as the two brothers were talking, the door suddenly rang. At the top,...
"Who?" The Niu brothers became nervous.
A voice came from outside the door: "Brother Niu San, it's me, Hu Han Sanma Xiaoquan."
Niu Er was stunned and turned to look at Niu San. Niu San nodded: "Second brother, this person is stupid and has no scheming..."
Niu Er opened the door, and Ma Xiaoquan ducked in.
Niu San looked at Ma Xiaoquan and asked, "Han San, it's so late, what are you doing?"
"Oh, this is Brother Niu. Hello, Brother Niu. I'm Hu Hansan."
Niu Er nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan looked around and said mysteriously: "Brother Niu San, I went out to pee after work the night before yesterday, and suddenly I heard a particularly miserable woman's cry coming from the boss's room. Oh, it was so scary. My soul was scared out of my mind.”
The Niu brothers looked at each other, and Niu Er said: "Han San, come on, sit down, and have a drink of water before we talk."
"Hey, okay." Ma Xiaoquan followed him and sat down in front of the desk, took a sip of water, and said, "Not to mention, the sound insulation of the boss's house is very good. I had the courage to listen carefully for a long time before I heard it clearly."
Niu San said impatiently: "Why do you do this when you have nothing to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "Isn't this just curiosity, hehe?"
Niu San glared at Ma Xiaoquan with disdain: "That's it. If nothing happens, hurry back and we brothers are still resting."
"No, no, no, no, Brother Niu, Brother Niu, what I want to say is, the woman who heard the scream from the boss's room, I heard that he killed her."
"What?" The Niu brothers were stunned. They all stood up and asked in unison, "Are you serious about this?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Oh, I didn't really watch it. In fact, I heard it from a Qing sect person."
"Qing faction?" Niu family brothers looked at each other, Niu Sandao said, "Isn't the Qing faction a small group of Fang Yun?"
Niu Er said: "Three, I feel something is wrong. Fang Yun is very good at asking for information. I think I should go find Fang Yun now to find out what's going on."
Niu San nodded: "I'll go with you."
"There's no need for you. We've been locked up for two days and haven't had much rest. You go to bed early. I'll be back soon."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Brother Niu, then I will go with you."
"Well, no need," Niu Er said, already out the door.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly laughed in his heart and did not follow him forcefully. He turned his head and said to Niu San: "Brother Niu San, how have you been these two days? Have you suffered?"
Niu San sighed: "It's okay, I didn't fight again, and I didn't move much. I'm not that hungry, I'm just very thirsty. By the way, Han San, you came so late and this is why you came here." ?”
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, took out a small wine jar from his arms, patted it and said: "Brother Niu San, we know you are good at this, so we made this. What's going on, brother, I want to have a drink with you?"
Niu Sanhe made a sound, nodded and said: "Not to mention, I've been really craving for wine in the past two days. Well, put down the wine. I want to drink this wine alone to satisfy my craving. You go back first. I'll meet you tomorrow.
Let’s drink with you again.”
"Okay, okay then I'll wait for you"
After walking out of the Niu family's hut, Ma Xiaoquan slightly raised the corner of his mouth. After going around two turns, Ma Xiaoquan came to a shadow.
"Has Niu Er gone?" Ma Xiaoquan asked in a low voice.
"Reply to your Majesty's words, let's go, my subordinates have already settled down."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, Fang Yun, you did a good job. I have to say that the news about you came very quickly. You even asked about Jiang Batian's sister who killed Niu Er Niu San."
"Thank you for your love, sir."
"Okay, you've been busy enough today, go back and rest."
"yes"
Ma Xiaoquan walked around Caobang several times to make sure there was no one around, then quietly changed into Ma San's clothes and sneaked back to the steward's residence.
Hua Yue was in the study, Bai~Wan\Xiao! said, when Ma Xiaoquan suddenly appeared in the study, Hua Yue was a little surprised.
"Aren't you pretending to be Hu Hansan? Why did you come back suddenly? Why, were you found out?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Tomorrow is my day off, so if I have time, I'll come and see you. I'll leave after I've finished."
Hua Yue felt warm in her heart: "Well, the matter of the Niu family's little sister..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, it seems that Fang Yun has also reported to you. This Jiang Batian, I was worried about how to deal with him, and he came to the door on his own. Hum, this time, the Niu brothers are afraid that they will jump over the wall.
"
Hua Yue said cautiously: "That's not necessarily true. I think even if the Niu family brothers knew about this, they would definitely not dare to say anything about it. Well, I don't think it would be better to do this. You pretend to be Hu Hansan and add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble."
How is it?"
Ma Xiaoquan smashed the bar and said: "I want to do it too, but how to provoke it?"
Hua Yue smiled softly, stood up, and pushed Ma Xiaoquan out of the study. While pushing, he said: "I don't care about this. You men's affairs can be solved by yourselves."
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and was pushed out of the study by Hua Yue.
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan found Niu San after work and told Niu San some of the "bad things" he had learned about.
After being blasted away by Hua Yue last night, Ma Xiaoquan was not idle. He found Fang Yun overnight and obtained many anecdotes about Jiang Batian from him. After Ma Xiaoquan's own "processing", he compiled these anecdotes.
All made up to be "bad things".
Listening to Ma Xiaoquan's description, Niu San didn't quite believe it at first, but when Ma Xiaoquan said that Jiang Batian couldn't do it but still wanted to find a girl to treat his illness, Niu San couldn't help it.
Niu San has not seen his little sister for several days, and Niu San's heart has been hanging. Although he guessed that something might have happened to his little sister, he still held on to hope since he didn't see anyone.
"Han San, how do you know so much?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "Hey, this is what I heard from Fang Yun's subordinates. We had a drink last night and the guy was drunk, so he told me what he said."
Niu San made a sound and said: "Han San, otherwise, that guy Fang Yun is very capable. You can find a way to get information from him or his subordinates..."
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately pretended to be stupid: "It's a trap, what kind of trap? Our Fujian faction has nothing to do with them..."
Niu San pulled Ma Xiaoquan closer and whispered: "My little sister was picked up by the boss, but she hasn't seen anyone for many days. The boss said she was unwell and she was taking it easy. Why do I feel so bad?"
Something is wrong..."
Ma Xiaoquan was deliberately confused: "Oh, Brother Niu, this matter is probably difficult. You also know that Fang Yun and our boss don't get along, and what's more, every time the boss sees Fang Yun's
Sister, your eyes are wrong..."
Niu Sandao: "The boss has always been obsessed with Fang Yun's sister. It's a pity that Fang Yun, that little thief, sent his sister to the chief steward..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Brother Niu, I heard that the boss is doing something to collect yin and replenish yang. I don't know if it is true or not..."
Niu San shook his head: "I don't know about this either, Han San, brother Niu San, I beg you, you must find a way to ask..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's okay to ask, but Brother Niu San, why do you need to treat me to dinner?"
Niu San rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan: "I know you want to eat delicious food. Here, here is a tael of silver. Take it easy..."
Ma Xiaoquan took the money and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Niu San, hehe."
Niu San waved his hand: "Let's go, let's do it more quickly, I'm in a hurry."
“Okay”
...
Another two days passed. During these two days, people in Caobang could always see Ma Xiaoquan inviting guests to dinner, either this person or that person. Everyone was talking about how Ma Xiaoquan had made a big fortune.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan had already been angry with Fang Yuntong before Niu San gave Ma Xiaoquan money. His dinner treat in the past two days was just a cover-up.
In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan went to Niu San and told Niu San the news about his "snooping".
"What? You said that my sister...Han San, is this true?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I think it looks like it, but I haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure. But Brother Niu, this matter is not groundless. I don't think so, but Brother Niu is secretly investigating..."
Niu San nodded: "Well, I have the same intention, Han San, thank you very much."
Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest and said, "Brother Niu San, if you can still be of use to me, speak up as soon as possible."
Niu San rolled his eyes and said: "Han San, if you really have this intention, then Brother Niu San will be rude. I really have something to ask you. You are a coward, so why don't you do me a favor?"
..."
Late at night, Ma Xiaoquan sneaked back to the steward's residence to discuss countermeasures with Hua Yue.
After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's retelling, Hua Yue frowned slightly and said: "Niu San is so shameless to ask you to help, Ma Xiaoquan, if you continue like this, your identity will be exposed..."
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and nodded: "I think so too, so Yue'er, I want to make an illusion, an illusion that I am dead..."
"How?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "If I want to drive a wedge between the Fujian and Henan factions, and more importantly, break Niu San's hatred of Jiang Batian, well, I can do this..."
