Summary of the previous chapter: Hua Yue was successfully rescued by the bold Li Yao, and Tian Ergen led people into Ma's house...
Tian Ergen winked at one of his men, who understood and led several brothers to sneak around the backyard of Ma's house and search quietly.
Ma Xiaoquan was not blind. He looked at Tian Ergen and his men and winked, but he did not stop him. He just laughed and said: "Tian Ergen, you came to my Ma's house and said you were helping me investigate the cause of my brother's death. But what should I do?"
Just looking at the people you brought with you, I didn’t see any clues you could give me?"
Tian Ergen was shocked and secretly scolded Ma Xiaoquan for being deceitful. However, Ma Xiaoquan was indeed right. Since he was here to help, it would be unreasonable not to provide some decent information.
Tian Ergen chuckled and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are also a Jinyiwei. I don't believe that you haven't read any of the Jinyiwei's secret records?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Of course I have seen it, but there are so many, I can't understand it at all. I have naturally investigated the cause of my brother's death, but so far, I still can't find any reliable basis...
...Tian Ergeng, what about you? You are the commander, and it seems that you have more opportunities to read secret records than I do, right?"
Tian Ergen laughed: "What you said is true!"
Tian Ergen frowned slightly and said: "The cause of your brother's death is indeed strange. To be honest, when our Jin Yiwei went to investigate, your brother was already dead. You must be aware of this, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
"However, the former commander of the Jin Yiwei also conducted a case reconstruction on this matter."
"The case will reappear? When?" Tian Ergeng was appointed commander of the Jinyi Guards ahead of schedule, and Ma Xiaoquan immediately thought of Mo Dao.
Tian Ergen shook his head and said: "Of course you don't know this, because the files on the reappearance of the case have been kept in the emperor's palace for a long time, and they have been forgotten. If the emperor and his concubines were not in the palace,
...Playing, well, even if it’s just playing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to show up..."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed. As a royal guard, he had indeed never seen the case files that Tian Ergen mentioned. It was also kept in the emperor's palace. Even his most personal eunuchs would not dare to do so.
Move and turn as you please.
"So where is the file that reproduced the case now?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Tian Ergen chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, Tian Ergeng, you are so stupid, you don't let go of the hawk when you see the rabbit, but you and your dog owner are wrong, because I, Ma Xiaoquan, am not the real fourth son of the Ma family at all, hum, so
You want to use Ma Zhi's death to catch me.
"In this case, that's all we can do. Wait until Mr. Tian has time. Even if I go there in person, that's okay."
"Well, haha, let's do it this way. As for me, because I am quite busy, I will send some people to station at your house. You are also a guard in uniform. Can you tell me anything? How about it?"
Ma Xiaoquan cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be natural and smiled: "That's not necessary. My Ma family has my Ma family's affairs. I'm familiar with the brothers in Jinyiwei. There's no need to go to such trouble. In this way,
I don't think it's better for you to live in a private house outside. If anything happens, we can contact you at any time. After all, my Ma family is not a rich man. I, Ma Xiaoquan, can only have one or two meals for my brothers when it comes to providing water and food.
I won’t take advantage of you if you do too much, so Mr. Tian, please forgive me for offending you.”
Tian Ergeng's face darkened. He did have plans to send people to eat and drink at Ma's house for free. Unexpectedly, Ma Xiaoquan was too cunning and directly picked on the public. If he forced himself again, let alone a meal or two.
I guess half of the meal may not be available.
"In that case, that's okay, then let's get a private house!"
...
Tian Ergeng stayed at Ma's house for more than an hour before leaving. During this period, he kept sending his men to search Ma's house.
The Jin Yiwei were more experienced and more meticulous in their searches than the group of eunuchs in the East Factory. Whenever there was anything suspicious, they made a record of it in case they had the opportunity to come back to Ma's house to continue the search.
After all the Jinyi guards left, Ma Xiaoquan ordered the Ma family's servants to tidy up.
Fang Yun came over respectfully and complained to Ma Xiaoquan: "Sir, this Tian Ergeng is such a big deal. He wants to station here here. Isn't this a changed man who wants to keep an eye on you?"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered: "Of course I know, so I refused, but...well, Fang Yun, I have to warn you, these Jin Yiwei are no better than those eunuchs in Dongchang. They are ruthless in doing things. As a
My men, don’t let anything happen to them, do you understand?”
Fang Yun nodded repeatedly.
Ma Xiaoquan whispered again: "Also, you should not go to gathering places to meet your sweetheart recently."
Fang Yun blushed, and he was very surprised. He went to meet his lover, but he did it very secretly and didn't tell anyone. How did the adults know?
Ma Xiaoquan patted Fang Yun on the shoulder: "There are some things, don't think you did it flawlessly, it's just that I didn't say it. Do you understand?"
Fang Yun was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. If you say this, wouldn't you also...
Just as Fang Yun was about to kneel down, Ma Xiaoquan supported him and said with a smile: "I will eat some meat, and you will drink some soup anyway, but don't be too greedy. Fang Yun, I, Ma Xiaoquan, think I will treat you well."
, I’m even more kind to your sister. After all, you can be considered my brother-in-law. I don’t speak secretly, so we can be considered a family. Do you understand what a family means? "
Fang Yun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand! I understand, little one!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and patted Fang Yun on the shoulder: "Go ahead, you know what to do, right?"
"Know!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, and Fang Yun bowed and retreated.
...
At Wei Zhongxian's house, Tian Ergen recounted what happened to Wei Zhongxian. Of course, because Wang Kui was knocked unconscious and one person was let go, Tian Ergen did not report this to Wei Zhongxian.
After listening to Tian Ergeng's report, Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, that bitch, is really cunning. If he won't let you in, then there must be something wrong with his Ma family."
On the side, Li Zongyu suggested: "Master Wei, I think it's better to go to the suburbs and dig out what they buried."
Wei Zhongxian said humbly: "That's fine, let's do this as soon as possible."
Li Zongyu received the order and left with great joy.
Tian Ergen curled his lips, cursed a few words in his mind, and then respectfully said to Wei Zhongxian: "Master Wei, then Ma Xiaoquan..."
"In this case, then keep watching and look for another opportunity!"
