Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan went to scare Uncle Jiang and made him suspicious and neurasthenic...
In the past, Uncle Jiang would have been suspicious of Ma Xiaoquan's sudden visit, but now he is really suffering from a severe neurasthenia, and his thoughts and reactions have been greatly affected.
After Ma Xiaoquan met Uncle Jiang San, he didn't say anything meaningful. He just asked him to persuade Jiang Batian to stop being so impulsive...
Uncle Jiang just agreed and didn't make any statement.
After about burning incense, Ma Xiaoquan said goodbye.
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan left Uncle Jiang's room, Jiang Batian found out about his visit to Uncle Jiang.
Sitting in the seat, Jiang Batian's eyes narrowed to a slit. In front of him stood the men he had ordered to secretly keep an eye on Third Uncle Jiang.
"Are you... telling the truth?" Jiang Batian asked the subordinate.
"Boss, it's all true. I heard it clearly. When Ma San spoke, he hummed, and it sounded very cryptic. The third uncle just hummed and didn't speak. It sounded like two people.
What sign language are you still using..."
"Well, how long will Ma San stay?"
"Probably a stick of incense."
"A stick of incense?" Jiang Batian sniffed and ordered, "Go and call my third uncle. I have something to ask him."
.......
In Uncle Jiang's room.
It was rare that he didn't hear that strange and scary rustling sound. Uncle Jiang planned to take a rest early to recharge his energy. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off his pants, someone called him outside, saying that Jiang Batian had something to do with him.
Uncle Jiang was a little angry. He had already told him so many times that he needed to take a good rest. What the hell was Jiang Batian doing?
In desperation, Uncle Jiang had to put on his pants and follow his men to see Jiang Batian.
As soon as the two met, Jiang Batian asked directly: "Third uncle, what did you do just now?"
Uncle Jiang said: "You didn't do anything?"
"You really didn't do anything?"
Uncle Jiang thought for a moment: "Yes, the chief steward came to see me, talked a lot of nonsense, and left again."
What Jiang Sanshu told was the truth, but it sounded to Jiang Batian that the third uncle had hidden something from him, especially since the third uncle used to call Ma San by his first name, but just now he called him "Master Steward."
"Oh, what did Ma San say?"
"I didn't say anything," Uncle Jiang said again casually.
"Oh, okay, I understand. Third uncle, please go back and rest."
Uncle Jiang San came to his senses and reminded Jiang Batian: "Batian, are you suspecting that Ma San and I have something to do with each other? I swear to God, it's absolutely impossible."
Jiang Batian chuckled: "I know, Third Uncle, I know it's impossible to be fine, please go back."
"Hey" Uncle Jiang sighed and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Batian called one of his men over and ordered: "Still the same, keep an eye on me..."
"yes"
...
Two days later, news suddenly spread in Caobang that the general manager, Mr. Ma Sanma, had found several doctors with good medical skills from outside to treat the workers in Caobang for free.
Naturally, no one from the Henan and Fujian sects dared to go, and other small sects were not restricted. After going and coming back, they all praised the doctor for being such a good person.
They provide food and money for medicine.
Although Third Uncle Jiang has been sleeping well recently, he has always been worried about Jiang Batian's words.
Uncle Jiang San wanted to re-establish his prestige in front of Jiang Batian, so he made up his mind to sneak into the chief steward's residence to see what kind of doctor Ma San had hired? What medicine was Ma San selling in the gourd?
...
Inside the Fujian Pai Zhengtang.
Jiang Batian had to throw the tea cup in his hand to the ground and cursed: "I am so good to that old guy. I have already ordered not to go to Ma San's place, but he went on my back? Humph, he also said that he did not go to Ma San's place.
The three colluded? Okay, very good. Huang Tianhu took the opportunity to rob my warehouse, and now even the third uncle betrayed me? Okay, great."
At this moment, Uncle Jiang came to Jiang Batian happily. As soon as he met Jiang Batian, he loudly said: "Batian, what do you think I did?"
Jiang Batian said angrily: "Huh, what else can I do, other than go to Ma San's place."
"Eh? How do you know?"
"How do I know? Third uncle, I treat you well, and I don't let you do any heavy work. Over the years in Caobang, how can I, Jiang Batian, not be sorry for you?"
"Ba Tian, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"Humph, you don't understand? Okay, then I'll let you understand and I'll ask you, what were you doing at the steward's residence?"
"I? I went to help you find out the news."
"Inquiring about information? Humph, I heard that you didn't sleep well the past few days, maybe you went to see a doctor?"
"I...how can I not, Batian, you can't talk nonsense, I am your third uncle."
"Humph, you still know, why didn't you want to be my third uncle when you were hooking up with Ma San?"
"Jiang Batian, why are you so ignorant?" Uncle Jiang was a little anxious.
Jiang Batian said angrily: "How shameless, I made you my third uncle and treated you with great courtesy. Why, you are using your status to oppress me just because you are my third uncle?"
Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "Okay, okay, even if I didn't say anything, then I won't say anything in the future, that's it."
"Hmph, you know what's going on. Someone's coming. Please go back, uncle, and watch carefully."
"yes"
Uncle Jiang shook his head and sighed quietly: "My Fujian sect is finished, finished..."
Uncle Jiang's sigh happened to be heard by Jiang Batian, and he became even more angry: "Pull me away quickly, I'm tired of looking at it."
...
In the study room of the steward's residence.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, clapped his hands and said: "Great, Jiang Batian and his third uncle have a falling out, great, great"
In front of Ma Xiaoquan, Hua Yue smiled slightly and said: "Don't get too happy yet, maybe their uncle and nephew are just acting."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, Yue'er, you are right, so what should we do next? Does Mr. Ding have any other opinions?"
Hua Yue nodded: "It's true. Mr. Ding asked me to hand this note to you. Well, he has already left."
"Left? Just left quietly? I still wanted to see him."
Hua Yue shook his head: "Mr. Ding still has something important to do. I spent a lot of time asking Mr. Ding to help me with this matter."
"Oh, it's really..." Ma Xiaoquan stood up and took Hua Yue's hand, "Thank you so much, Yue'er, you really helped me a lot. Open it and take a look. What's written in the note?"
?”
Hua Yue hummed and unfolded the note.
"Kill?" When the two saw the words written on the note, they couldn't help being stunned and looked at each other.
"What does the word "kill" written by Mr. Ding mean?"
Hua Yue shook his head: "I don't know either, but Mr. Ding said when he gave this note, when your vertical and horizontal combinations can't go on, you just..."
"That's it." Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, "I understand, hey, actually, we really made Mr. Ding laugh..."
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "If we move into Caobang with strong force from the beginning, maybe within two months, the salt transportation will be completely in our hands..."
Hua Yue also suddenly realized: "Yes, I just woke up when you said that... If I had known we..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "But it's not too late now, but since we have adopted political means to take back the power of salt transportation, we must continue to implement it and kill people at will. After all, it is not what you and I like to do..."
Hua Yue nodded in agreement: "Ma Xiaoquan, I'm not wrong about you. If you had chosen such extreme measures in the beginning, maybe I wouldn't be so dedicated to helping you now. Although you claim to be not a gentleman, you have a lot of ways.
More magnanimous than a gentleman.”
Hua Yue's praise was heartfelt. Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said humbly: "You are also a good woman. In fact, I have been thinking whether you are helping me like this to get closer to me or for your family...
It seems now that no matter what your purpose is, I will not betray you, just like our Ma family and your Hua family did not betray you a thousand years ago..."
With tears in her eyes, Hua Yue threw herself into Ma Xiaoquan's arms, gently hitting his chest with her pink fist: "You bad guy, I'm really jealous of Li Qinghan, I lose everything to her, even men
, I want to share it with her again and again, hey."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "I don't know how Qinghan is doing. Well, the Yanyun matter has been resolved. Let's go back to Beijing."
"good"
Ma Xiaoquan breathed out, walked to the window, opened it, and said: "You were right just now, Jiang Batian may be acting with his third uncle, so... I can't give him this opportunity...
....”
"Ma Xiaoquan, what are you going to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly, snapped his fingers and said: "If you don't do anything, we will arrest Uncle Jiang and put him in solitary confinement."
"You don't want to be tortured, do you?"
"Humph, I don't have that skill. On the contrary, I will serve him with good wine and good food. If that doesn't work, I will bring two beautiful women over to serve him. I don't believe that the old guy won't degenerate..."
"Ma Xiaoquan, you are so shameless"
"Hehe, isn't there something we can't do about it?"
...
Uncle Jiang sat in front of the table and sighed. He stood up several times and planned to go back to find Jiang Batian. However, he was pushed back by the people sent by Jiang Batian as soon as he went out.
, Uncle Jiang had no choice but to wander around Caogang in despair.
