Summary of the previous chapter: Wei Zhongxian acted very quickly, and even launched a conspiracy against the Zhang family's property a year ago. Zhang Tianhao encountered a crisis, and the insiders were unable to solve it. In desperation, he had to come to Ma Xiaoquan...
Ma Xiaoquan also expressed his depression. Although he was not the real Fourth Young Master, he had witnessed the death of Fourth Young Master and experienced the aftermath of his regretful marriage. No matter what, he had to seek justice from the Zhang family.
Zhang Tianhao also regretted it again and again. He had no good way to take care of his daughter. When Zhang Jing asked to break off the engagement, he agreed. Unexpectedly, Ma Xiaoquan would rise to the top. Not only did he become an official, but now he has become a second-rank concubine.
Deacon Jinyiwei, hey, I regret it, I regret it
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Uncle Zhang, I'm also confused. Your family and the Lu family are in-laws. Why don't you let them help you?"
Zhang Tianhao sighed: "Hey, Lu Zhan is short-sighted. To be honest, he doesn't have any big ambitions. I also regret letting Jingjing marry into their family."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said nothing.
He knew what the final goal of the Zhang family was, and he knew even more clearly what Zhang Tianhao was plotting. Zhang Tianhao wanted to plot against the world. He had written about this in the previous chapter, but this was impossible because he, Zhang Tianhao, had no role in history.
"Okay, there's not much to say. You can go back first. I will consider your family's affairs."
Zhang Tianhao nodded, with a hint of unwillingness on his face, and walked away slowly.
Not long after Zhang Tianhao left, Li Qinghan and Hua Yue came.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan alone, Li Qinghan said: "Uncle Zhang has left?"
Ma Xiaoquan turned around and said humbly: "Let's go."
"Didn't you promise him?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Of course it is impossible to agree, but I think Zhang Tianhao will come again. As for when, it is only a matter of time."
Hua Yue sighed and said: "In this case, the Zhang family may not have a good year this year."
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "That's not the case. As the head of the Yi family, Zhang Tianhao must let the family have a good year no matter what. So I think the property of the Zhang family has been misappropriated by Wei Zhongxian. I am afraid that except for Zhang Tianhao and a few other people, the Zhang family
Others don't know..."
Li Qinghan and Hua Yue did not speak. Ma Xiaoquan continued: "So... I may have to be a bad person again. I have to urge the emperor again and ask him to urge Wei Zhongxian to speed up the progress. In this case, Zhang Tianhao
He should come to me again...then...I can negotiate terms with him..."
...
Ma Xiaoquan's prediction was not wrong. Of course, it was also because he approached Zhu Youxiao again the next day. Although Zhu Youxiao felt that it was a little too fast, Ma Xiaoquan's righteous deception about "difficulties at the border" convinced Zhu Youxiao.
In the fog, Zhu Youxiao was filled with excitement and immediately decided to ask Wei Zhongxian to speed up the progress.
Wei Zhongxian was eager to do this. After the emperor's order, he immediately convened a "tiger and wolf conference" to summon his disciples and grandsons of "demons and monsters", and gave them tasks one by one, and asked them to be the best before the year before.
solve.
Wei Zhongxian also had ideas. He felt that the faster he solved the problem, the more property he would embezzle from the Zhang family, and the less clear it would be to give the share to the treasury and Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan knew what Wei Zhongxian was thinking, but he did not stop him because he was waiting, not only for the progress of Wei Zhongxian's embezzlement, but also for Zhang Tianhao's visit again.
Sure enough, Zhang Tianhao came to see Ma Xiaoquan early in the morning of New Year's Eve.
Ma Xiaoquan had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. Seeing Zhang Tianhao come in, Ma Xiaoquan stood up with a smile: "Are you here early?"
Zhang Tianhao was stunned: "Deacon, you are earlier than me."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and made a gesture to please sit down. After Zhang Tianhao sat down, he said: "I know the purpose of your visit this time. Let's talk straight to the point. I also found out that your Zhang family may have something to do this time." It’s dangerous…”
Zhang Tianhao originally expressed hope, but after hearing Ma Xiaoquan's words, he couldn't bear to say: "Why, why is it our Zhang family?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "I wonder if you have heard of Shen Wansan's story?"
Zhang Tianhao was stunned, sighed and shook his head: "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that our Zhang family would also go the same way as Shen Wansan, hey."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "You are still doing well. Shen Wansan died in depression in the past, but your Zhang family still has a chance to turn around..."
Zhang Tianhao's eyes flashed, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I hope the deacon will not hesitate to give me some advice."
"Where is it? I can't tell you what to say. I heard it from the emperor's mouth. Let's put it this way. This crisis in your Zhang family was actually directed by Wei Zhongxian. Even though he can't read two Chinese characters, he is more scheming than others. Everyone is important, I know, you may not feel it when I say so much now, but in two or three years, you should realize it."
"But Wei Zhongxian, why do you do this to our Zhang family? We have also..."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "Are you trying to say that you and Wei Zhongxian have a good relationship? Haha... You are just dealing with me, Ma Xiaoquan, being together temporarily, right?"
Zhang Tianhao's face turned red and he said nothing.
"Okay, I won't say much. I hope you know better than me that a big tree attracts the wind. So if you, the Zhang family, want to survive now, you should quickly withdraw from Beijing and go as far as possible."
"This..." Zhang Tianhao said with a bitter smile, "If our Zhang family leaves Beijing, all our hard work over the years will be in vain."
"Humph, at this time, you are still thinking about money. Zhang Tianhao, no matter what, you were once members of a wealthy hermit family. As you enter the world, have your mentality changed? You can see for yourself, or you can Hold your money jar and wait for Wei Zhongxian to snatch it from you, or... you lead your family and clan members and evacuate Beijing city as quickly as possible."
Zhang Tianhao sighed: "Even if we evacuate, there are so many businesses that can't be moved?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "You don't have to worry about this. I heard that Wei Zhongxian has already made a plan. If your business can be realized, it will be realized naturally. If it cannot be realized, give it away, or sell it to others."
"This..." Zhang Tianhao sat back on his butt and sighed.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't make any sound. He picked up the tea and drank it quietly.
Suddenly, Zhang Tianhao said: "Deacon, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Ma Xiaoquan put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "Zhang Tianhao, you don't want me to be your successor, do you?"
Zhang Tianhao was stunned: "Taking over? What do you mean?"
