Summary of the previous chapter: Wei Zhongxian was afraid that he would get nothing, so he ordered Li Zongyu to steal other people's lottery tickets secretly. Unfortunately, there were still two second prizes, but he was not...
Wei Zhongxian's eyes widened and he looked carefully at the lottery ticket in Sister Cui's hand, and then his face suddenly turned red.
"Yi...No. yi? Is...it's me?" The thin man who first spent fifty cents to buy the signature suddenly widened his eyes and shook his head in disbelief.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, took a look, and said with a smile: "Brother, it is indeed you. Oh, come on, come on, show me the signature in your hand, and I will verify it."
"Oh, okay, here, sir!" The thin man held the sweaty scroll in his hands and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan while shaking.
Ma Xiaoquan took the ticket, glanced at it, and said loudly: "Congratulations to our number one, well, the grand prize of seven days of fun at Haoyuexuan belongs to him!"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, sounds of anger, envy, and regret resounded throughout the room.
No one expected that the final grand prize would actually be taken away by the person who spent fifty cents first. Fifty cents, fifty cents. It would be amazing if these fifty cents could buy at most fifty steamed buns.
...
Wei Zhongxian was anxious, stepped forward with his hands on his hips, and slapped Sister Cui hard. Since Sister Cui was still blindfolded, she couldn't avoid it. This slap hit Sister Cui firmly on the face.
.
"Pa" Sister Cui fell to the ground.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Ma Xiaoquan, this doesn't count, this doesn't count, you cheated!"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Eunuch Wei, cheating? Everyone is watching with their eyes open. This lottery note was written by your bastard Li Zongyu. Many people here know his handwriting. What? What do you mean, you, a eunuch,
Do you still want to be the first and then play with women?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said the words, he immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Wei Zhongxian blushed and said: "Anyway, if I say it doesn't count, it won't count. Hmm, let me see who dares to play in this Haoyuexuan today?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Wei Zhongxian, this is your fault. The emperor came here just now. What, you mean you don't even obey the emperor's orders? Or... you rush back now, under the pretense of the emperor's order."
In my name, you can prepare an imperial edict to deal with me?"
"Ma Xiaoquan, you, you don't have to spit on anyone!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Okay, don't pretend. Who are you, Wei Zhongxian, do you think I don't know? Even if you are, why don't you still make money if I give you money?"
"You!" Wei Zhongxian was just about to speak again, when Li Zongyu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Master Wei, there are too many people here, and there are too many people talking. Even if Master Wei is powerful, it is not easy to be so powerful here. With my subordinates,
Look, we’d better retreat first.”
Wei Zhongxian was unwilling to give in: "But the emperor..."
Li Zongyu said: "Master Wei, the emperor just asked you to play for me, and didn't say what would happen, so it doesn't matter even if you are empty-handed. Master Wei, think twice!"
Wei Zhongxian hummed softly and nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
After that, Wei Zhongxian led a few losers and left.
When Ma Xiaoquan saw this, he did not continue to add insult to injury. He knew that quick words would not have any effect. Besides, Wei Zhongxian would definitely find a way to retaliate. Next, he should think about how to deal with Wei Zhongxian's revenge.
Ma Xiaoquan helped Sister Cui up and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
There was a red five-finger handprint on Sister Cui's pretty face. Ma Xiaoquan took out the handkerchief he had brought with him and handed it to Sister Cui: "Go down and rub it well."
"Yes!" Sister Cui took the handkerchief handed over by Ma Xiaoquan, put it away carefully, and nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Okay, it's time to go, go have some fun, and go home if you need to!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan did not leave Haoyuexuan, but sneaked into Sister Cui's bedroom.
At this time, Sister Cui was carefully wiping the red fingerprints on her face with the handkerchief Ma Xiaoquan gave her.
For Wei Zhongxian, Sister Cui already hated her to the core of her bones, but for Ma Xiaoquan, Sister Cui suddenly felt an unspeakable admiration for him.
Ma Xiaoquan pushed the door open and Sister Cui hurriedly hid the handkerchief.
"Sir...sir..." Sister Cui lowered her head and said with a red face.
"Well, Sister Cui, you're lucky." Ma Xiaoquan sat down opposite Sister Cui, not noticing Sister Cui's abnormality. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it all.
"No, it's unfortunate, but my lord, Wei Zhongxian will definitely not give up. What should we do?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I'm not sure now, especially with the sudden arrival of the emperor. I never thought that, well, I have to go to the palace to see the emperor today. I'm afraid that after today, I will have to go far away."
"Ah? Sir, where...are you going?"
"Ningyuan!"
"Ningyuan, it's so far there, and there's still a war going on! Sir, be careful when you go there."
"Well, don't worry, I'll be fine. Well, Sister Cui, is Wei Zhongxian really gone?"
"Well, let's go, we should go home."
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Then I'll take a short break to burn incense, and then go to the palace. Well, Wei Zhongxian, this bastard... has to be on guard!"
...
After Wei Zhongxian left Haoyuexuan, he went home directly.
Having met the emperor before, Wei Zhongxian couldn't believe that the emperor would go to such a romantic place. Just when he was depressed and confused, Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, suddenly came to visit.
As soon as the two met, Tian Ergen said: "Master Wei, what? You look very unhappy. What happened?"
"Hmph." Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly and said, "It's not all that guy Ma Xiaoquan who actually made money in my business. I'm so angry!"
"Ma Xiaoquan?" Tian Ergen frowned, with a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, "Master Wei, do you want me to..." At this point, Tian Ergen stretched out his hand and made a cutting motion.
The implication was to kill Ma Xiaoquan.
"Well, that's exactly what I meant. If Ma Xiaoquan is not eliminated, it is also my worry."
Tian Ergen asked: "Master Wei! If Ma Xiaoquan is eliminated, will the Ma family be able to..."
"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "We will discuss this later. Okay, I will rest for a while and then go to the palace. Later, Ma Xiaoquan will go back to meet the emperor. It just so happens that he is ordered by the emperor to go to Ningyuan to deliver money and food. I
