Summary of the previous chapter: Zheng Long was arranged by Wei Zhongxian in a high-end hotel, and he was not allowed to meet the emperor for the first time...
Zheng Long was resting in a high-end hotel, but he didn't feel at ease. He wanted to visit Ma's house, but with his public status, if he rashly went to Ma's house, not only would he not be able to help Ma Xiaoquan, but he might be harmed.
After discussing with his wife, Zheng Long decided to secretly go to Ma's house at night.
...
In the evening, after Zheng Long had dinner, under the leadership of Hua Yue, he went to Ma's house to visit Mrs. Ma to discuss how to rescue Ma Xiaoquan.
As soon as Zheng Long left, Wei Zhongxian arrived with his hind legs.
Seeing Mrs. Zheng, Wei Zhongxian pretended to ask why he didn't see Zheng Long.
Of course, Mrs. Zheng couldn't say anything about Zheng Long's visit to Ma's house. She made up a lie, saying that Zheng Long was taking a bath and that if he had anything to do, he could talk to her first.
Wei Zhongxian didn't care what Zheng Long was doing. Anyway, he wasn't here right now, so he could implement the plan.
Wei Zhongxian took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Mrs. Zheng, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zheng, I once had the honor to accompany the late emperor on his journey to Jianghuai. It is said that in the Jianghuai generation, there was a famous prostitute named
Huang Yingying..."
Mrs. Zheng's face darkened and she said alertly: "Eunuch Wei, what do you mean by this?"
Wei Zhongxian chuckled: "Nothing else, I'm just curious. Well, the letter in Madam's hand is just a small greeting gift. If Madam has any doubts, you can go to me! Farewell!" After that, Wei Zhongxian turned his head.
Leave.
Mrs. Zheng slowly opened the envelope, read the contents of the letter, and then tore the letter into pieces. Her heart could not calm down for a long time...
...
Inside the prison, Ma Xiaoquan was discussing social issues with Zhang Mazi.
Zhang Mazi had a lot of questions, and Ma Xiaoquan patiently told Zhang Mazi some unnecessary information that he knew. Of course, it involved some advanced knowledge, and Ma Xiaoquan couldn't answer it, but Ma Xiaoquan gave Zhang Mazi some answers.
This idea is that when all questions cannot be answered perfectly after thinking through any answer, then the question should be raised to a philosophical level.
Zhang Mazi asked Ma Xiaoquan, what is philosophy?
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said with a smile, you will understand later.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what philosophy was, because this subject was too complex and grand. Unless he relied on his immortal body and studied it for a hundred years, he might be able to explain it to Zhang Mazi.
Zhang Mazi was not obsessed with what philosophy was. On the contrary, he admired the novel vocabulary that kept popping out of Ma Xiaoquan's mouth. Zhang Mazi was convinced that this Ma Xiaoquan was definitely not simple. He definitely had some top secret. If he wanted Ma Xiaoquan to continue
If you continue to speak, you must be sincere.
...
Ma Xiaoquan also knew that Zhang Mazi was thinking about him, and he wanted this effect, but the time was still not yet ripe, so he had to work harder.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Brother Mu, is there anything new happening in Beijing recently?"
Zhang Mazi raised his head and said: "It's true. Zhang Zhenglong, the leader of the Hebei training army, has come to Beijing! From what I see, he should be here to save you!"
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded: "It should be, I Zeng Tingrui...well, my father said that Zheng Long has always had a good relationship with our Ma family and is a trustworthy and loyal friend!"
Zhang Mazi said humbly: "Yes, Brother Ma's father was Zheng Long's savior, and he was also a matchmaker..."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know the past between Zheng Long and the Ma family, but he couldn't show his ignorance.
"Yeah." Ma Xiaoquan just hummed softly.
Zhang Mazi was confused and couldn't understand Ma Xiaoquan's attitude, but he also thought that given Ma Xiaoquan's previous identity and what he knew, such a reaction seemed to be the most reasonable.
"So where is Zheng Long now? Is he alone?"
Zhang Mazi shook his head: "No, when Zheng Long came to Beijing, he couldn't come to rescue you directly, so he had to find some reasonable reasons. Well, he wrote to the emperor, saying that the Hebei Army had successfully trained and specially asked the emperor to review it."
"I see. So General Zheng Long must be at my Ma's house now, right?"
Zhang Mazi nodded: "That's right!"
"Well" Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Mu, I want to ask you for a favor..."
"Please tell me!"
.......
Mrs. Zheng walked back and forth in the inn room, feeling very uneasy. The words Wei Zhongxian said before and the letter she tore up made her more and more irritable.
"Why haven't you come back, husband?" Mrs. Zheng was a little anxious.
"No, I have to go find Wei Zhongxian. I must not let my husband know about that matter!" Mrs. Zheng made up her mind, packed up hastily, and walked out the door.
At the gate of the inn, two of Zheng Long's guards saw Mrs. Zheng and said respectfully: "Madam, do you want to go out? The general has ordered us to protect Madam!"
Mrs. Zheng said: "No, I'm just in a hurry, and the toilet inside is not very good. I'm going to the toilet, do you want to follow me?"
"Uh, this..."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, I'm not a three-year-old child. Just wait a moment. I'll be back in a minute!"
"yes!"
Mrs. Zheng nodded and hurriedly left the inn. After turning a corner, Mrs. Zheng quickened her pace and went straight to Wei Zhongxian's house.
Wei Zhongxian was the only one in Wei Zhongxian's family. The other servants and members of the eunuch party seemed to know what he was going to do and chose to avoid it at the same time.
Wei Zhongxian was only wearing a loose robe, squinting his eyes slightly and sitting upright on his seat.
With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes, and under the dim oil lamp, smiled evilly: "Mrs. Zheng, I knew you would definitely come!"
Mrs. Zheng walked into the manor alertly, looked around, and asked: "Master Wei, what do you want? Now that I'm here, what do you want?"
Wei Zhongxian stood up and casually pulled off the robe on his body. He was actually wearing nothing under the robe.
"You, Mr. Wei, what are you doing?" Mrs. Zheng covered her eyes with her hands and said in shame.
"Humph, Huang Yingying, stop pretending. I know you used to be a showman and not a person, but you come from a prostitute, so you naturally understand what I mean. Come on, make me feel comfortable. I won't do that thing about you.
Tell your husband, otherwise..."
"You! You are so despicable!" Mrs. Zheng said hatefully.
"Despicable? I don't think so, Mrs. Zheng, oh no, Huang Yingying, you threw your own flesh and blood into the river, why didn't you think you were a despicable person?"
