Summary of the previous chapter: Wei Zhongxian accelerated the embezzlement of the Zhang family's property, and Zhang Tianhao naturally refused to hand it over. He found Ma Xiaoquan and wanted Ma Xiaoquan to help him...
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "What the Receiver means is that you want me to take care of your properties, right?"
Zhang Tianhao was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, I can't worry about others..."
Ma Xiaoquan sneered and said: "Your idea is a bit too simple. Now that Wei Zhongxian is on the rise, if you ask me to take over your business, it is equivalent to going against Wei Zhongxian. Although I, Ma Xiaoquan, am not afraid of him, I don't want to be troublesome. Besides,
..." Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and glared at Zhang Tianhao, "I will never forget all the things your Zhang family did to me..."
Zhang Tianhao was extremely embarrassed. Indeed, the Zhang family had not paid much attention to the Ma family since they broke off the engagement to the Ma family. So much so that the last time they teamed up with Lu Zhan and Wei Zhongxian to impeach Ma Xiaoquan, the Zhang family also came up with a lot of bad ideas.
"Sir Deacon, it is better to let go of enemies than to make them end. Our two families have already made peace. I am also willing to apologize to you on behalf of my family."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "You are here, and I will say it without any basis. I want to apologize, right? OK, show some sincerity. If it is not very sincere, I advise you to give up this intention as soon as possible.
"
Ma Xiaoquan observed Zhang Tianhao's facial expression as he spoke. Although the man was old-fashioned and had no big expression on his face, his eyes were the windows to the soul. Ma Xiaoquan could see anger and helplessness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly changed the subject and said kindly: "Actually, as you said, our two families have no big hatred to begin with, so I also plan to reconcile. Now that the Zhang family is encountering such difficulties,
Due to emotions and reasons, our Ma family has to help, but because Wei Zhongxian is too powerful now, I openly challenge him, which will not only be detrimental to myself, but will also drag your Zhang family deeper..."
Zhang Tianhao nodded, agreeing with Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan continued: "So what I can do now is to help you find out the news from the emperor. Oh, by the way, Tian Ergeng is Wei Zhongxian's man. If you think the information I got for you is inaccurate, you can tell me
Have the courage to ask him, but if he wants to do something to you, don't blame me for not warning you."
Ma Xiaoquan has said this, which means he has issued the farewell order. Although Zhang Tianhao did not get the result he ultimately wanted, at least Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth and was willing to help. Well, this is a good thing. At least there is hope for the Zhang family to be saved.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhao stood up and handed over his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Deacon. It's getting late, I think I'd better say goodbye."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and ordered his servants to send Zhang Tianhao away.
As soon as Zhang Tianhao left, Li Qinghan and Hua Yue appeared.
After Hua Yue arrived, Ma Xiaoquan was originally worried about her relationship with Li Qinghan, but now it seems that he was worried too much.
"Did you all hear it too?" Ma Xiaoquan asked the two daughters.
The two girls nodded, and Li Qinghan said, "Are you really not planning to take over Zhang Tianhao's business?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and smiled: "How is it possible? If I agreed to him today, there would definitely be a lot of restrictions. Instead of doing this, it is better to wait a little longer. Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I have to run around the palace these two days.
"
"That Zhang Tianhao's business..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Don't worry, with Wei Zhongxian's temper, Zhang Tianhao's business won't last long. Zhang Tianhao will come back in twenty-nine years at most."
The two women looked at each other and said nothing.
...
What Ma Xiaoquan said was not wrong. On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhang Tianhao came to see him again.
When the two met, before Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth, Zhang Tianhao knelt down in front of him and said mournfully: "Master Deacon, you must help me today."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and quickly helped Zhang Tianhao up: "What's wrong? Why do you need to give such a big gift?"
Zhang Tianhao stood up, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he said slowly: "Wei Zhongxian, this damned beast, in order to take away my family property, he actually harmed my children, I...my son...
..."
"Son? Which son?"
Zhang Tianhao cried loudly: "My eldest son, wuwu..."
"No way?" Ma Xiaoquan was also shocked. Although he knew that Wei Zhongxian would make big moves, from the information he had obtained in the past two days, Wei Zhongxian did not kill anyone?
Zhang Tianhao choked up and said: "It's all my fault that my son was incompetent and actually contradicted Wei Zhongxian. As a result... Wei Zhongxian broke his legs and hands... He is now a useless person..."
Hearing that Zhang Tianhao's son was not dead, Ma Xiaoquan was relieved. This Wei Zhongxian was not so bad at what he did. However, Zhang Tianhao's eldest son, his most valued son, was crippled by Wei Zhongxian. No wonder Zhang Tianhao was in pain.
"In my opinion, I still said what I said. In the current situation, you Zhang family should leave Beijing," Ma Xiaoquan suggested.
Zhang Tianhao wiped away his tears and nodded: "Master Deacon, my Zhang family's background has been greatly damaged this time. Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, it will take a hundred years to recover slowly. Sir, I
Zhang Tianhao has nothing to say. I just want to ask for one last favor. Please help our Zhang family escape from here on New Year's Eve."
Ma Xiaoquan talked for a while and said deliberately: "Has your business been handed over?"
Zhang Tianhao smiled bitterly and said: "How is it possible? Forget it, everything is there when the person is there, but nothing is there when the person is not there."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, it seems that's the only way it can be. Well, let's do it this way. I will make some plans today. Once there are results, I will send someone to inform you of the specific escape plan as soon as possible. One more thing, remember,
At the critical moment, if you want to save the most important person, just give up on ordinary people."
Zhang Tianhao was unwilling to give up, but what Ma Xiaoquan said was true. Wei Zhongxian could break his eldest son's hands and feet, but who knew if there would be more vicious tricks in the future. The whole Zhang family could only keep useful people.
...
After Zhang Tianhao left, Ma Xiaoquan immediately went to Wei Zhongxian's home to look for him.
Wei Zhongxian was at home at this time, but when he heard that Ma Xiaoquan was looking for him, he ordered his servants to say that he was not at home.
Ma Xiaoquan knew that Wei Zhongxian was at home, but he didn't reveal it because he just came to determine where Wei Zhongxian was at the moment, because the next step was what he wanted to do.
"In that case, when will Eunuch Wei come back?" Ma Xiaoquan asked in a pretentious manner.
When facing Ma Xiaoquan, the gatekeeper from the Dongchang Xiaohuang Gate did not dare to neglect at all, and said respectfully: "Return to the deacon, I never tell you when my father-in-law is out, and I don't even know about it."
"Well, well, in that case, I'll take my leave first. I'll come back in about half an hour. If Eunuch Wei is not here again, I will go to the palace to find him."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
