Summary of the previous chapter: Zhang Tianhao wanted Ma Xiaoquan to take over his Zhang family's business, but Ma Xiaoquan refused because he had other plans...
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan left, Wei Zhongxian poked his head out of the door. Summit Novels,...
"Ma Xiaoquan is gone?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
The little yellow doorman guarding the door said respectfully: "Back to my father-in-law, he has already left. He said he will come to see you in half an hour. If you are not here again, he will go to the palace to find you..."
Wei Zhongxian frowned and cursed: "That bastard Ma Xiaoquan won't give up. Come on, I'll just stay at home. Half an hour will pass quickly. I'll just wait for him." After that, Wei Zhongxian retracted his head.
...
"Ah," Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his nose and murmured, "Someone scolded me. Well, it must be Wei Zhongxian. Hum, this old guy is at home but pretends not to be there. Well, I can just do my thing." "
Ma Xiaoquan quickened his pace and arrived at the entrance of a gambling house a quarter of an hour later.
The door of the casino was closed, but the shouts of gamblers could be heard from inside. A big man squatted at the door. When he saw Ma Xiaoquan coming, he immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Stop, this is..." Before the man could finish his words, he saw the embroidered spring knife on Ma Xiaoquan's waist and the unique horned dragon order of the "Jinyiwei" deacon, and he was frightened. He jumped and quickly changed his words, "Deacon, you..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I was passing by and heard the sound, so I came here to take a look. Well, you guys are quite courageous. This is the palace, how dare you gather people to gamble?"
Upon hearing this, the big man quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Sir, please calm down, little one, you just..."
Before the big man finished speaking, the door of the casino was kicked open from the inside, and several stern-backed guards rushed out, each holding a weapon in their hands, looking like they were going to kill someone.
However, the moment these guards saw Ma Xiaoquan, they quickly threw away the things in their hands. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed like grandsons meeting their grandfather.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head, saying: "You guys are really courageous. Not only did you gather people to gamble in the palace, but you actually raised a knife against me, the deacon. Well, okay, I heard that you are all Wei Zhongxian's people. In recent days, You are used to being arrogant and domineering. This deacon should not be in charge, but to use a knife on this deacon is a capital crime. Well, even if Wei Zhongxian is here, I can't protect you..."
"Sir, please forgive me, you guys really don't know who you are, you really don't know."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Well, your death penalty can be avoided, but your living crime cannot be forgiven. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I don't want to punish people anymore. It doesn't matter, this matter comes at a good time. If it weren't for your Eunuch Wei who has something to do for you. Arrangements, it is impossible for this deacon to meddle in this business..."
"My father-in-law, do you have something to arrange?"
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "Nonsense, otherwise you think this deacon, a second-grade official, would come to your place? If he hadn't lost the bet with that old guy Wei Zhongxian, I wouldn't have come to help him pass the message. You guys Listen up, everyone, what Eunuch Wei asked you to do, you should do it smoothly, don’t delay any more."
Several guards looked at each other, and one of them boldly said: "Sir, it seems that my father-in-law didn't arrange anything for us?"
"Nonsense, I'm here. Isn't this already arranged? Why do you still doubt me, the deacon?" Ma Xiaoquan said coldly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare"
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "That's pretty much it. Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore. After all, you are not my people. I will keep the story short. You..."
When several people heard this, they were surprised and said, "Sir, is this arrangement a little difficult for me?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Is it difficult? I don't care about my business. If I lose the bet, I will just tell you that you can do it if you are willing to do it. If you don't want to, forget it. Anyway, you are not my deacon. Oh, by the way, this matter
If you go public, don't blame me for being unkind, do you understand?"
Several people looked at each other and said in unison: "Don't worry, adults, I definitely don't know anything."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "That's nice to say. Okay, let's do it. Remember, you are all within the scope of this deacon's surveillance at all times. Don't do anything inappropriate. Do you understand?"
Several people nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go and do the work. By the way, Eunuch Wei has arranged this for you, but there is a lot of money. How you make money and whether you can make it depends on your own abilities. Well,
, don’t blame this deacon for not reminding you, you need to know how to cover it up, do you understand?”
"I understand, I understand?" The few of them winked at each other, went into the gambling shop, took back their gambling money, and left in a hurry.
Watching these people leave, Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said to himself: "Maybe what I did was wrong, but if you want to dominate the world, you must take this step. Zhang Tianhao, don't blame me, this is just me.
I got it from your Zhang family."
...
On the way back, Ma Xiaoquan was delayed for some time.
On New Year's Eve, the streets are filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. The vendors are shouting loudly, and the officers and soldiers who usually patrol the streets are also smiling. It can be seen that everyone is looking forward to the New Year.
Ma Xiaoquan walked around, looking here and there.
At this moment, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Turning around, he saw a strange woman. The woman's appearance was ordinary, but the clothes she wore were somewhat similar to those worn by Li Qinghan.
"Girl, you are..."
The woman chuckled and whispered: "It seems that sister Yue'er's disguise skills are much better than mine."
"Yue'er?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He approached the woman and whispered, "Are you Qinghan? Why did you come out?"
The woman blushed: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I have to go out and choose new year's goods. Oh, by the way, if my father and brother don't come back this year, Ningyuan won't be able to escape."
"Oh, that's a pity, but it doesn't matter. We have more people this year, so it's still lively."
"Well, okay, let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to buy new year's goods."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and watched Li Qinghan leave after disguising himself.
...
In the evening, Li Qinghan returned home with a full load. In addition to bringing back a lot of new year's goods, he also brought an extra jar of wine to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan rarely drinks alcohol. Taking the glass of wine from Li Qinghan, Ma Xiaoquan was surprised and said: "Qinghan, this wine..."
Li Qinghan blushed and whispered: "This is a tonic wine. Drinking it is good for the body."
"Uh." Ma Xiaoquan instantly understood what Li Qinghan meant. Tonight is the 29th of the New Year, and tomorrow is the 30th of the New Year. In the next few days, we have to visit from house to house to pay New Year greetings, so there will definitely be no time. There is no time now.
Will Li Qinghan's public rations be delivered soon...
Ma Xiaoquan hugged Li Qinghan and whispered: "I don't need to take supplements. I have a great body. It's not like you don't know."
Li Qinghan lowered his head and his voice became even lower: "It's not me, it's Sister Yue'er. She said she wanted to have two drinks with you tonight. I think you guys will..."
"Yue..." Ma Xiaoquan was shocked, "Yue'er still...isn't this not good?"
Li Qinghan shook his head: "It's hard to say this. Hey, you and I are really stupid. Sister Yue'er is such a good woman, but you are indifferent to her?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, saying that women are selfish when it comes to relationships, but Qinghan was not only unselfish, but also pushed himself towards Huayue, which is really a thorn in the bottom of a woman's heart.
"But she and I..." Ma Xiaoquan wanted to make the final argument.
Li Qinghan said: "You don't have to worry about this. Sister Yue'er is not young anymore. She can make many decisions on her own, which is an advantage for you. I don't even know what you are good at..."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips. Although he felt that he would not go overboard with Hua Yue, he still had to take it easy when the beauty was around.
It's just that tonight we have to plan the route for Zhang Tianhao and his family to escape from Beijing. What if Yi and Huayue drink too much? What if Yi and that... they must have no energy?
When he was worried, a subordinate suddenly came to report that a murder had occurred in Zhang's yard.
Ma Xiaoquan said sincerely that he had come at the right time, and quickly ordered his men to get ready and lead them to the Zhang family residence.
The courtyard door was ajar, so Ma Xiaoquan pushed it open and entered, finding several corpses lying scattered in the courtyard.
Rushing into the main hall, Ma Xiaoquan found Zhang Tianhao.
When Zhang Tianhao saw Ma Xiaoquan, he felt as if he had seen a savior. He threw himself in front of him and cried bitterly: "Master Deacon, you must help our Zhang family, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian..."
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "I know everything. Okay, don't be anxious this time. Do you believe what I say?"
Zhang Tianhao nodded.
"I've almost planned the route to escape Beijing," Ma Xiaoquan lied. "Come to me tomorrow morning. Well, tonight, I will send people to guard here, but I have to move the corpses in the yard.
Well, I don’t think those corpses in the yard belong to your Zhang family, but with this warning, I guess you are also in danger, right. Are you ready with everything you should prepare?"
Zhang Tianhao helplessly wiped away his tears and said: "Everything is ready. Everything that can be turned into banknotes has been obtained, but these antiques..." Zhang Tianhao said, turning to look at the many antiques in the main hall.
Although Ma Xiaoquan was also greedy, he did not show it: "Okay, saving your life is more important than anything else. Wei Zhongxian must be rare for these antiques like yours, but it's okay, at least he won't destroy it for you, so you can just take it as a
Let's change the owner," Ma Xiaoquan said, looking at the Zhang family in the main hall.
