Summary of the previous chapter: Wang Wenyan, who had little contact with Ma Xiaoquan, suddenly came to borrow money. Ma Xiaoquan neglected to receive him for a while. After Wang Wenyan left, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly remembered to access the data device. Seeing this, he regretted it...
...
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Donglin Party, I'm afraid this time it's not going to be good. Wang Wenyan, Wang Wenyan, if you can borrow it from someone, you have to come to my place. I'm afraid that people have already known about his coming to my place."
Even if I, Ma Xiaoquan, don’t do anything, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape my involvement.”
"What should we do?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I haven't come up with any good ideas for the time being. Now I can only take it one step at a time. Well, you all have to go out less these days."
"good"
...
Wang Wenyan walked out of Ma's house and was immediately targeted by Jin Yiwei's eyeliner hidden in the corner.
Although Ma Xiaoquan is also a Jin Yiwei, he is a deacon, and he and the commander are on different lines. In order to distinguish them, all those who command Tian Ergen will not only wear an embroidered spring knife on their waist, but also have an embroidered spring knife on their waist.
Specially made large copper coins.
The person staring at Wang Wenyan right now is the person with the copper coin, Tian Ergen's subordinate.
...
Back at the base camp, his subordinates told Tian Ergen the news.
Although Tian Ergen colluded with Wei Zhongxian, he was not Wei Zhongxian's subordinate. Tian Ergen colluded with Wei Zhongxian purely for profit. To put it simply, for money and power.
Sitting on the seat, Tian Ergen took a sip from his tea cup and asked, "Did you know what Wang Wenyan was doing?"
The subordinate said respectfully: "Replying to my lord, I heard that Wang Wenyan wanted to ask the deacon to borrow money."
"Borrow money?" Tian Ergeng narrowed his eyes and put down the tea cup, "There have been some rumors in the palace recently, saying that Eunuch Wei wanted to rescue Xiong Tingbi, but it only cost 40,000 taels, and Wang Wenyan suddenly went to borrow money...
How much does it cost to borrow?”
The subordinate answered truthfully: "I don't know, but judging from the shape of Wang Wenyan's mouth when he came out, it seems to be fifty thousand taels."
"Fifty thousand taels? Well" Tian Ergeng said, "There is a difference of 10,000 taels between forty thousand taels and fifty thousand taels. This 10,000 taels...excluding the management fees of all parties...
....There should also be money from the middleman...Well." Tian Ergen clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "Wang Wenyan, Wang Wenyan, it turns out that you borrowed money from Ma Xiaoquan to save Xiong Ting, but you
We are mortal enemies with Wei Zhongxian...so...humming is a bit interesting."
After thinking about the whole thing, an idea suddenly flashed in Tian Ergen's mind. He called his men to him and ordered: "You quietly spread the news in the palace, saying that Wang Wenyan recently borrowed money from Wang Wenyan."
Got some money..."
As soon as his men retreated, Tian Ergeng's nephew suddenly came out and shouted: "Uncle, my nephew is back."
"Huh?" Tian Ergen turned around and chuckled, "Tian Yu, your kid is finally back. You've been having fun as a newlywed for so long. Are you fooling around on the bed with that little girl from the Liu family all day long?
Haha... finally you remember me, your third uncle?"
The visitor was none other than Tian Ergen's nephew, Tian Yu, who had married Liu Yijing's granddaughter Liu Xiangxiang a few days ago.
Tian Yu smiled respectfully and said: "Third uncle, please forgive me. My nephew is also delayed because of something unforeseen. However, my nephew's trip is not in vain... My nephew will do whatever my third uncle asked me to do."
After some investigation..."
"Oh?" Tian Ergeng raised his eyebrows when he heard Tian Yu's words, "Then tell me, what happened to Ma Xiaoquan and his Ma family's family business?"
Tian Yu took a breath, frowned, and said: "Third uncle, this Ma Xiaoquan is really not an ordinary person. As far as I know so far, his Ma family has a hand in many of our business in Ming Dynasty, but his Ma family has a hand in it."
It seems that no one came forward. Those businesses are basically managed by a family named Hua."
"Hua?" Tian Ergen frowned and said, "Under the whole world, there have always been rumors of hidden wealthy families. Well, Tian Yu, you continue to investigate for the third uncle. This time, you investigate the hidden wealthy families.
matter......"
Tian Yu said respectfully: "It's the third uncle. Oh, by the way, my nephew felt something was wrong with what the third uncle ordered his servants just now."
"Improper? What's wrong?"
Tian Yu said: "The third uncle wants to take possession of Ma Xiaoquan's wealth and power, but has the third uncle ever thought that Ma Xiaoquan did not lend money to Wang Wenyan? The third uncle has so rashly sent his subordinates to spread untrue news, and I am afraid that Ma Xiaoquan will be
Knowing this, not only did it not cause any trouble to him, it would actually allow Ma Xiaoquan to take the opportunity to counterattack Third Uncle Yi's army..."
"Okay." Tian Ergen waved his hand, signaling Tian Yu to continue.
Tian Yu continued: "Furthermore, Ma Xiaoquan now has a higher official position than the third uncle, and the emperor will protect him, so if the third uncle fights with Ma Xiaoquan, the emperor will definitely favor him more, so the nephew feels it is inappropriate."
Tian Ergen nodded while listening: "Tian Yu, you are right, but with such a good opportunity, if Ma Xiaoquan is not given a stumbling block, my third uncle will not be happy."
Tian Yu chuckled and said sinisterly: "Third Uncle, in fact, what you just said is not impossible to spread, it just needs to be changed."
"How to change?"
Tian Yu licked his teeth and said: "If Third Uncle wants Ma Xiaoquan's money and power, he must make the palace go crazy. Now the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian are mortal enemies. Let's give them some incentives."
When the two factions fight, if Ma Xiaoquan protects the Donglin Party, then the third uncle can take the opportunity to join him in the book. If he does not protect the Donglin Party, the third uncle can also join him, but the reasons are different..."
Tian Ergen nodded and said hesitantly: "It's true that the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian are mortal enemies, but Tian Yu, if we want to do this, we can't be involved. After all, I, Tian Ergen, am not an enemy of the Donglin Party.
Of course, they can’t be friends.”
Tian Yu nodded: "Third uncle, don't worry. Hey, your interests and those of Wei Zhongxian are tied together. Therefore, what we do must make Wei Zhongxian bigger. Those guys from the Donglin Party,
It’s time to suppress them properly, hehe.”
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and laughed one after another.
...
At the door, a woman was hiding quietly. She could hear clearly the conversation between Tian Ergen and Tian Yu.
"Tian Yu, Tian Ergeng, you are so vicious, no way... I must tell Ma Xiaoquan this news and ask him to be careful..."
