Summary of the previous chapter: An official created a vacancy and brought Ma Xiaoquan closer to the whirlpool of the storm. Of course, this was just the beginning...
Zuo Guangdou's good intentions, in Ruan Dajue's view, mean something else entirely.
After reading Zuo Guangdou's letter, Ruan Dayue couldn't help but curse.
That night, Ruan Dajue went to his old friend, the Criminal Department, to complain to Fu Kui, who was involved in the incident.
Ruan Dayue's outburst of complaints could be said to play into Fu Kui's hands. Fu Kui was Wei Zhongxian's man. Upon hearing Ruan Dayue's dissatisfaction, Fu Kui quickly persuaded Ruan Dayue to take part in the book.
Ruan Dajue was so ambitious, so happy with his achievements, and willing to repay kindness with vengeance. Fu Kui was so provocative that he immediately took up a pen and wrote a ginseng book, accusing Zuo Guangdou of using power for personal gain and corruption and perverting the law. Not only that, he also listed Zuo Guangdou and Zuo Guangdou in the ginseng book.
Among the people related to Guangdou, there are several important figures... Wei Dazhong is definitely inevitable, and there is another one, that is... Wang Wenyan.
...
It is a pity that Ruan Dajue's eloquent ginseng book with several thousand words could not be passed on because the Emperor of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao, did not go to court at all, and the ginseng book was detained by the cabinet before it reached the emperor's hands.
There are people from the Donglin Party in the cabinet, and Ruan Dayue is also a member of the Donglin Party. His internal fighting must have caused dissatisfaction among many members of the party. However, the Donglin Party members believe that their enemies are not their own, so several important members of the party
The characters discussed it and decided to suppress the matter. After all, it was a family scandal, and the family scandal should not be made public.
...
Ma Xiaoquan, who is the deacon of Jinyiwei, is naturally very clear about this whole process. Firstly, he has a data device in his body that can help him understand the history. Secondly, he secretly ordered people to monitor all the people involved in order to reconcile the history in the data device.

It just so happened that at this moment, Wang Wenyan suddenly came to see Ma Xiaoquan.
Although Ma Xiaoquan and Wang Wenyan were familiar with each other, they had no contact with each other, so Wang Wenyan simply explained his intention when they met and asked Ma Xiaoquan to borrow money.
Borrowing money is a very sensitive matter. You can borrow money, but you have to tell me what you want to borrow the money for first, right?
But... Wang Wenyan didn't know why, but he just refused to say why he borrowed the money. When Ma Xiaoquan asked him how much he borrowed, Wang Wenyan simply held out five fingers.
"Five hundred taels?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Wang Wenyan shook his head.
"Five thousand taels?" Ma Xiaoquan guessed again.
Wang Wenyan still shook his head.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Master Wang, you can make fun of me. Do you want to borrow fifty thousand taels?"
Wang Wenyan clapped his hands and nodded: "The deacon is so smart, I just want to borrow so much money."
"What, fifty thousand taels?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head, "Master Wang, I am just a deacon of the Royal Guards, and I also receive a salary from the court. If you ask me to borrow fifty thousand taels, who should I ask to borrow it from?"
Wang Wenyan secretly scolded Ma Xiaoquan for being cunning, but he dared to speak openly, so he had to turn around and said: "Master Deacon, what should I say? You are secretly controlling so many businesses, and you have to collect fifty thousand taels."
, it is estimated that it will only take ten days and a half. What's more, if it doesn't work, I will take out 50,000 from the salary for transporting food to Ningyuan, Liaodong. When I use it up, I will naturally return it to the deacon."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wang, your calculations are really good. You are right. I can indeed raise so much money, but you have to tell me that you are going to use this money."
What are you going to do with the money?"
Wang Wenyan smacked his mouth, as if he was thinking about something. Ma Xiaoquan thought he was going to tell the truth, but unexpectedly he suddenly stood up, cupped his hands towards Ma Xiaoquan, and said: "In this case, I won't say more,
For today’s matter, just pretend that I never came here.”
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and watched Wang Wenyan leave.
This Wang Wenyan, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
...
After Wang Wenyan left, Ma Xiaoquan immediately summoned one of his men and ordered: "Go out and keep an eye on Wang Wenyan to see what he is doing."
"yes"
...
At night, his subordinates came back to report that Wang Wenyan had borrowed the money to save a person.
"Save someone?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and quickly called the data device in his body. Then he slapped his head and shouted that something was wrong.
Ma Xiaoquan's shouting attracted Li Qinghan and Hua Yue. Seeing that he was regretful, the two girls left the servants, closed the study door, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head repeatedly and said: "What's wrong with this Wang Wenyan? He came to me... Hey, I was really negligent. I forgot to check the data file... I didn't expect it."
Ah, I really didn’t expect that..."
"What happened?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Xiong Tingbi has been detained for two years. Do you two know this?"
"Yeah, I know." The two girls nodded in unison.
"All the officials in the book want Xiong Tingbi dead. What do you think you would do if you were him?"
Li Qinghan said: "Of course I have to find a way to save myself, but how can I save myself?"
Hua Yue said: "If Xiong Tingbi is outside, he still has a chance to talk nonsense, but he has been imprisoned for two years, so if he wants to survive, he has only one way, and that is to spend money."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, spend money. Do you know how much Xiong Tingbi's head price is?"
The two girls shook their heads.
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out four fingers.
"Forty thousand taels?" Hua Yue blinked and said first.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Yes."
Li Qinghan asked: "What is Wang Wenyan doing today?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "Borrow money"
"Borrow money? How much? Forty thousand taels?"
"Humph, it's not 40,000 taels, but 50,000 taels."
"Fifty thousand taels?" Li Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "With Wang Wenyan's temperament, he is probably borrowing money from a middleman, right?"
"Well, that's what I thought too"
Hua Yue reacted faster: "If you put it this way, Wang Wenyan is just coming in vain?"
"Haha, what Yue'er said is absolutely right."
"Then did you lend it to him?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Of course not. This fifty thousand taels is not a small amount. Although I can take it out at any time, even if I have it, I can never take it. Once I take it, my Ma family's business will be ruined."
But it’s all exposed.”
"Um"
Hua Yue asked: "Since you didn't borrow the money, why do you still look so... regretful?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said: "Because after this incident, a very sensational event will happen."
