Just when Ma Xiaoquan and the two girls were speechless, several Vulcan believers in green robes heard the sound and came to see the underground door. They were about to ask questions, but when they saw it was Ma Xiaoquan, they hurried up.
He stepped forward and said respectfully: "God of Fire, you... why are you here?"
Ma Xiaoquan's right hand still hurt. He swallowed and asked, "Can't I come?"
"No, no, no, the God of Fire has never been here since the Empress of the God of Fire was gone..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, take me to the main hall and call all the leaders in charge. "
"yes!"
...
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan left, two craftsmen came to the gate of the house with tools on their backs. They saw a gate lying upside down on the ground. One of the craftsmen said depressedly: "Hey, this door is missing a bolt. I pushed it open."
Just pour it."
Another craftsman shook his head and sighed: "If I had known, I would have pinned it with a wooden stick first, so that it would not fall down. Come on, stop talking nonsense and lift the door."
"Why!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan walked into the main hall of the house, looked around, nodded and praised: "Qinghan is not here, I thought that this house would be uncleaned, but now it seems, well, I was wrong."
Shui Ling'er frowned slightly and said, "Captain, why do I always feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Well, it's okay. I'll take a look and ask after those little bosses arrive."
A moment later, seven men wearing dark green robes walked into the main hall. When they saw Ma Xiaoquan, two of them showed happy expressions, while the other five had expressionless faces.
"I've seen the God of Fire." Seven men in dark blue robes said respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan in unison.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and responded politely: "Well, hello everyone, please take a seat."
As soon as the seven people sat down, Ma Xiaoquan said straight to the point: "After Qinghan left, I didn't come to see the church for the time being because of my busy schedule. Now that I have some time, I came to take a look. Well, it's a fact that Qinghan left.
Therefore...this Vulcan Sect must not decline. Do you...do you have any views or opinions?"
The two little leaders who had looked happy towards Ma Xiaoquan looked at each other. One of them stood up first and said respectfully: "Master Vulcan, the Vulcan Empress has been gone for some time. We, the Vulcan Sect, can't."
There is no owner for the day, so I sincerely ask the God of Fire to take charge of the overall situation."
Another person also stood up and said respectfully: "Master Vulcan, please take charge of the overall situation."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, and glanced at the other five leaders who had not expressed their opinions from the corner of his eye. He raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to press it, and asked the other five: "What do you mean?"
The five people looked at each other, and a tall man stood up and said in an unfriendly tone: "Master Vulcan, this Vulcan Cult was created by the Empress. The Empress has put a lot of effort into the Vulcan Cult, but
God of Fire has been busy with his own affairs. During the absence of the Queen, we have been maintaining the affairs of the church. If God of Fire suddenly comes to intervene, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the believers, right?"
The two little leaders looked at Ma Xiaoquan for a moment, then looked at the leader with an unfriendly tone, and shouted: "Wang Biao, what are you talking about? God of Fire is the husband of the empress, the Vulcan Cult established by the empress, God of Fire
He also put in a lot of effort. Wasn’t it all repaired with the money from the Lord Vulcan to build the Vulcan Mansion?”
Wang Biao, who was named, snorted coldly and said: "So what? Even if the Vulcan Lord doesn't pay, the empress can still promote the Vulcan Sect."
"Wang Biao, you!"
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to stop it, "Everyone, please stop arguing. Well, your name is Wang Biao. You are right. Qinghan founded the Vulcan Sect by himself, but I was busy with my own affairs.
Neglected the construction of academic affairs..."
The two people who supported Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but become worried when they heard what he said.
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at the two people, then changed the subject and continued: "However, the establishment of the Vulcan Sect requires a lot of money. I, Ma Xiaoquan, paid for this money. Isn't that right?"
None of the five opponents gnawed.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and continued: "Since I paid for it, let's do the math. Well, since this house originally existed, but no one has lived in it for a long time, I, Ma Xiaoquan, bought the house and spent a total of
I paid 184,327 taels of silver, and... most of all the decorations in the house were my money. I did some calculations and found that a total of 31,000 taels were spent.
, Well, the clothes you believers wear and the food you eat are also my money, Ma Xiaoquan. I also did the math, and there are a total of 127,000 taels. These sums of money add up.
.....The total is three hundred and forty-two thousand, three hundred and twenty-seven taels. Well, I can give you a small change, let’s call it three hundred and forty thousand. Those of you who oppose me, if you can get it
If you pay three hundred and forty thousand taels of silver, I won't say anything else? How about that?"
"Three...three hundred and forty thousand taels..." Wang Biaowei's opponents were all shocked when they heard such a large amount.
The five people looked at each other and swallowed hard. Three hundred and forty thousand taels, how much money this is. Even if they sell everything in their house a thousand times, they probably won't be able to collect it.
ah.
Seeing that the five opponents remained silent, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and asked, "How about it? Are you going to pool this money together and give it to me, or what?"
"We..." Wang Biao opened his mouth and said two words, but couldn't continue.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Isn't it just three hundred and forty thousand taels? I'll pay for it."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned. He turned to look at the door and saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a sinister look on his face. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a proud look on his face.
"Zhang Tianhao?" Ma Xiaoquan was shocked, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Tianhao walked into the main hall with square steps and said with a smile: "Why, can't I come? Ma Xiaoquan, haven't you seen the clothes I'm wearing?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zhang Tianhao carefully, frowned and said, "Why are you wearing the robe of the Vulcan Cult?"
Zhang Tianhao proudly walked around in front of Ma Xiaoquan, raised his arm and said, "Isn't it possible?"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered and said: "Yes, of course you can, but will you pay for these 340,000 taels?"
Zhang Tianhao smiled: "Haha, this is natural..."
Ma Xiaoquan was not wordy: "Okay, since you are willing to take the money, I don't have to preside over this Vulcan Sect, but I am the Vulcan God, so I, Ma Xiaoquan, still have a place in this Vulcan Sect.
"
"Ma Xiaoquan, your request is a bit too much, isn't it? Since I gave you money, you should take the money and leave!"
"Take the money and leave?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled, "That's okay, but if you are willing to pay for it, I want cash, not banknotes!"
