Summary of the previous chapter: Jiang Batian and his men wanted to take back the South Point Warehouse, but unexpectedly they encountered stubborn resistance from Fang Yun and others...
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, looking very surprised, and took the account book.c,
Jiang Batian's heart suddenly tightened. He was not afraid of Fang Yun, but he was afraid of losing his account books. Although he was very confident that he personally took care of the accounts, since Fang Yun could show them in front of everyone.
Account book, then there must be something in that account book, could it be...
Jiang Batian suddenly thought of Huang Tianhu. Did Huang Tianhu give that account book?
"Pa" Ma Xiaoquan closed the account book, his face suddenly darkened, "Jiang Batian, come here"
Jiang Batian secretly screamed that something was wrong, but he boldly suspected that Ma San was deceiving him, so he was not nervous.
"grown ups"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly and asked, "Are all the records in this account book true?"
Jiang Batian frowned and said, "I didn't see what was written in it. It's really not true. I don't know, sir, unless you bring me the account book to see."
"Okay." Ma Xiaoquan patted the account book and was about to give it to Jiang Batian. At this moment, an officer and soldier suddenly came to report: "Sir, there is a fight in the West Point Warehouse."
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was about to hand the account book into Jiang Batian's hand when he suddenly shrank his hand and shouted, "Take me there." After that, Ma Xiaoquan took the account book and left without waiting for Jiang Batian's reaction.
He left in such a hurry that Ma Xiaoquan didn't seem to notice. A small note slipped out of the account book and fell right at Jiang Batian's feet.
Jiang Batian had quick eyes and quick feet and quickly stepped on the small sticky note. Ma Xiaoquan didn't notice it at all.
"Jiang Batian, Fang Yun, you are not allowed to fight anymore. Let me come back to judge your matters. Really, you won't give me any peace of mind at all?" Ma Xiaoquan issued an ultimatum.
Jiang Batian was dissatisfied, but he knew that a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, so he said: "It's your Excellency."
Fang Yun also quickly handed over his hand.
After Ma Xiaoquan left, Jiang Batian quickly picked up the note he had stepped on, turned it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but get angry.
"Fang Yun, tell me the truth, where did you get this account book?"
Fang Yun snorted coldly: "Why do you care so much, Jiang Batian, what's the matter, the master is gone, do you still want to fight?"
Ma Xiaoquan appeared so suddenly. Jiang Batian, who was still angry at first, gradually calmed down. He held the note tightly in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "Let me tell you why my west corner and south corner warehouses were robbed at the same time today."
, We have been making trouble for a long time, Huang Tianhu, this is your poisonous plan, Huang Tianhu, I won’t mess with you, but you mess with me again and again... Good, very good," Jiang Batian said to himself
, suddenly raised his head and waved, let’s go.”
Although all the subordinates did not understand what Jiang Batian meant, the boss had spoken and everyone had to give up for the time being. Anyway, it seemed that there would be no results if the fight continued like this, so it was better to go back and discuss it first.
...
Back in the main hall, Jiang Batian threw the note in his hand in front of his third uncle and said: "This is what you call maintaining stability. Okay, I have always been patient. What did Huang Tianhu do to me?"
Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick up the note. When he saw the words on it, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Batian, based on this note alone, can you believe that Huang Tianhu did it?"
Jiang Batian said: "Isn't it true? Besides him, who else could write Huang Tianhu's eight characters that day?"
Uncle Jiang frowned and said, "I'm not sure. I can't guarantee that this isn't a counter-intentional plan by Chief Steward Ma San."
Jiang Batian also thought about it. After all, today's events were too coincidental. First, Huang Tianhu robbed the west corner warehouse, then Fang Yun and others robbed the south corner warehouse, and then, Ma San and Ma Xiaoquan suddenly appeared...
Jiang Batian dragged his chin and said: "Huh, counter-intentional plot? Although I had suspicions, it didn't seem like it. I led people to the south corner warehouse, and Ma San arrived just behind him. There was another fight at the west corner behind, and Ma San went there again.
Over there..."
Uncle Jiang sighed: "We lost the west corner and the south corner at the same time. Ba Tian, at least it didn't hurt our neck bones. I suggest that we don't act rashly for the time being and guard our most important territory. We will wait and see..."
Although Jiang Batian felt unwilling to do so, his third uncle was right, at least he did not move his neck bones.
"Hey, this can only be done temporarily."
...
At night, in the study of the steward's residence.
Ma Xiaoquan threw down the book in his hand and asked Hua Yue in front of him: "Yue'er, did Jiang Batian not take any more actions after he returned?"
Hua Yue nodded: "Yes, it seems that he listened to his third uncle's words, so he calmed down again."
"Jiang Batian's third uncle..." Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes, "I have met his third uncle once. At first glance, he looks like a scheming person... Well, there is such a person here.
I’m afraid Jiang Batian won’t be able to flirt with Jiang Batian?”
Hua Yue said: "How about I talk to Mr. Ding and find a way to make their uncle and nephew fall out?"
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "Okay, then there is Mr. Lauding. By the way, Yue'er, who is Mr. Ding? How do you know each other?"
Hua Yue smiled slightly: "Ma Xiaoquan, didn't I say that our Huahua family is not limited to our own clan..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I understand."
...
The next day, Uncle Jiang was drinking tea in the house when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Uncle Jiang went to open the door in person. As soon as the door opened, it was a lean man, about forty years old, wearing a long blue-gray coat with a deep bird's nest, giving people a sense of calmness.
"Excuse me, are you..."
The lean man chuckled, cupped his hands and said: "I am Ding Xuelin, you must be Mr. Jiang, please be polite."
"Oh, hello"
The lean man said: "Mr. Jiang, I am here from the capital. I have something I want to talk to Mr. Jiang."
"Jingcheng? Oh, please come in and sit in the room."
"Okay, I'm tired now."
...
At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan was quietly lurking behind Uncle Jiang's room, waiting quietly.
Ma Xiaoquan arrived at one o'clock earlier than Mr. Ding. To be precise, this was Hua Yue's message to Mr. Ding. Although Ma Xiaoquan was confused, he still did it.
Mr. Ding didn't stay in Sanshu Jiang's room for too long. The two of them talked and burned incense before Mr. Ding stood up and left.
Listening to Mr. Ding leaving, Ma Xiaoquan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, because next, it was his turn to appear...
Ma Xiaoquan hid in front of Uncle Jiang's house not to kill him. His purpose was very simple, just to scare Uncle Jiang.
According to the strategy Mr. Ding recounted to Hua Yue, Ma Xiaoquan needed to slightly intimidate Third Uncle Jiang, and then Ma Xiaoquan would secretly meet with Third Uncle Jiang as the chief steward. This would inevitably arouse Jiang Batian's suspicion.
Uncle Jiang closed the door and was about to take a rest when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the room.
"Who?" Uncle Jiang looked around, but there was no response.
Uncle Jiang shook his head and exhaled. At this moment, the rustling sound sounded again...
Uncle Jiang didn't know martial arts, so he didn't have much courage. His nerves became tense, and he quickly opened the door and called his servants to check around the room.
When Ma Xiaoquan made the second noise, he had already climbed to the roof. The servants came over and circled the house, but of course they couldn't find him.
After the servant left, Ma Xiaoquan jumped down gently and made a rustling sound for the third time.
In the room, Uncle Jiang pretended not to hear, but he was extremely nervous.
In this way, Ma Xiaoquan struggled for an hour, and Uncle Jiang was also nervous for an hour.
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan came to make noise again. This time, Uncle Jiang was so nervous that he simply stopped going home and went to Jiang Batian to ask for a room change.
Jiang Batian was worried about how to fight Huang Tianhu. When his third uncle made a request at this time, he was impatient and sent him away.
Uncle Jiang was resentful and complained to several servants, saying that Jiang Batian was stingy. Unexpectedly, one of them had been secretly bribed by someone sent by Ma Xiaoquan, and he learned what Uncle Jiang said about Jiang Batian's stinginess to Jiang Batian.
.
When Jiang Batian heard this, he was also angry, but since he was his third uncle, he didn't care much about it, but he already had a grudge in his heart.
Uncle Jiang couldn't change houses, so he had to continue living in his own house.
The third day......
Day four...
The fifth day...
Uncle Jiang appeared in front of everyone with panda eyes.
Jiang Batian looked suspicious and asked: "Third uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Jiang sighed and said aggrievedly: "Batian, my house is haunted, can you change it for me? I can't sleep well."
Jiang Batian said strangely: "You have lived in that house for several years, why didn't you ask me to change it before?"
Uncle Jiang: "It didn't exist before, but it exists now."
Jiang Batian sneered in his heart, but still changed the room for him.
But despite this, Uncle Jiang could still hear the strange rustling noise, which made him even more haggard.
At this time, Jiang Batian was negotiating with Huang Tianhu to return to the warehouse. He was very busy. He wanted to discuss many things with his third uncle and ask him to give him advice, but his third uncle always yawned every time he came.
I even fell asleep twice.
Jiang Batian was very unhappy, but he did not show it. He just secretly ordered his men to keep a close eye on Uncle Jiang and report immediately if there was any abnormality.
...
Third Uncle Jiang had already suffered a nervous breakdown from Ma Xiaoquan, so Ma Xiaoquan did not punish him in the next few days. On the one hand, it was enough, and on the other hand, it was also because he knew that Jiang Batian sent people to keep an eye on Third Uncle Jiang secretly.
According to Mr. Ding's plan, Ma Xiaoquan should have appeared at this time, so... in the evening of that day, Ma Xiaoquan went to find Uncle Jiang alone.
