Li Yongzhen was afraid that Ma Xiaoquan would say this. Before he came to Ma's house, Wei Zhongxian had repeatedly told him that if Ma Xiaoquan didn't mention King Xin, he could rely on him no matter what. If he mentioned King Xin, he would discuss it first.
"Well, this is also the purpose why Mr. Wei sent me here," Li Yongzhen said with a smile, "Since the deacon has insisted that Mr. Wei sent someone to do it, then we won't say anything. House is dead now, even if we say
It's useless no matter how much, I think it's better to just let this matter rest."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "The matter has come to an end. It's good to put things to rest, but I, Ma Xiaoquan, are not in charge of House's family... I think it's better for Eunuch Li to go back and report.
How about we meet and invite King Xin here to make a decision?"
"This..." Li Yongzhen hesitated.
"Humph, Eunuch Li, this is the biggest concession I, Ma Xiaoquan, have ever made. If you still hesitate on this condition, don't blame me."
Li Yongzhen sighed and said: "Okay, then I will report to Mr. Wei when I go back."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Thank you for your service, Eunuch Li. Come, please send Eunuch Li back!"
...
The next day, Li Yongzhen came again. This time, he brought a personal letter from Wei Zhongxian.
It was said that it was written by Wei Zhongxian, but in fact it was just written by someone else. There was only one content in the letter, which was that he was willing to make peace with Ma Xiaoquan, and that Ma Xiaoquan's conditions would be met. As long as they were not excessive, they would all be satisfied.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly smiled in his heart, but outwardly he shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Li Yongzhen was also in a dilemma. After he reported the situation to Mr. Wei after returning yesterday, Mr. Wei was very angry. However, before the matter could be concluded, King Xin Zhu Youjian sent someone to deliver a letter.
Although Wei Zhongxian was powerful and powerful, he was still unwilling to touch King Xin. Somehow, Wei Zhongxian always reminded himself and the people around him again and again to be careful of King Xin.
The tone of the letter was quite calm, but Wei Zhongxian could tell that King Xin was threatening him.
After weighing it again and again, Wei Zhongxian decided to make some compensation to Ma Xiaoquan. Anyway, House is dead, so isn't it just compensation? Since Ma Xiaoquan loves money, it would be better to give him some. Anyway, when the time comes, he will destroy Ma Xiaoquan and put him to death.
Get the money back.
Wei Zhongxian did not have any discussions with King Xin, but the two of them agreed on the same idea. They both believed that Ma Xiaoquan loved money, and they also believed that Ma Xiaoquan would not spend money recklessly. Instead of letting Ma Xiaoquan pester him so annoyingly, it would be better to first
Give him the money and let him keep it for safekeeping. When the time comes, kill Ma Xiaoquan and get the money back.
In the Ma family, Lisa and James were also there. Ma Xiaoquan stood aside and didn't say much. The whole bargaining process was basically done by James and Lisa. In the end... they decided on a compensation price.
After Li Yongzhen left, Ma Xiaoquan said to James and Lisa: "Sorry, the compensation you just requested may be more or less. In any case, this is the biggest way I can get it back from you. Anything else,
There is nothing I can do."
Lisa didn't care about the amount of compensation. Ma Xiaoquan was able to do this, which was the best reply to her. After hearing the amount of compensation, James finally let go of his grudge.
Seeing that James remained silent, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Father-in-law, let's do this. From now on, as long as Lisa and I's children are boys, the first one will be adopted to your Groot family. What do you think?"
James raised his head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Right now, I think the only children who can inherit the blood of your Groot family are mine and Lisa."
James flattened his mouth and nodded: "Then...thank you."
"What are you talking about? We are one family, why don't we talk about two families?"
...
On the third day, Li Yongzhen came to Ma's house again. When he came, he also brought gold and silver as compensation.
After the inventory was completed, Ma Xiaoquan kept Li Yongzhen for a light meal, which made Li Yongzhen feel aggrieved that he had been deceived but couldn't express it.
After sending Li Yongzhen away, Ma Xiaoquan asked Lisa and James to come over to get the money. The father and daughter weighed it and thought that they did not have the strength to guard the wealth, so they decided to deposit the money with Ma Xiaoquan. Of course, Ma Xiaoquan had to pay them a certain amount of interest.
.
Of course, Ma Xiaoquan could not pay them the interest in vain. The three of them discussed and decided to set up a bank whose main business was to exchange coins and resell salt and tea notes.
The coin exchange business is the strength of the Groot family, and the reselling of salt and tea banknotes is even more profitable. Of course, every business has its own rules. Before establishing a bank, Ma Xiaoquan still needs to send someone to the bank.
It is up to people to manage the relationships between all parties.
...
Li Yongzhen went back to inform Wei Zhongxian, but he did not dare to say that he had a simple meal at Ma's house. Wei Zhongxian asked him about Ma Xiaoquan's attitude, but Li Yongzhen could only lie, saying that Ma Xiaoquan was too young.
Wei Zhongxian was shocked, and thinking of King Xin, he decided to pay an additional part of the compensation to Ma Xiaoquan.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian immediately ordered Li Yongzhen to go to the bank to withdraw money.
Li Yongzhen was also depressed. She just told a lie, but she didn't expect Master Wei to actually believe it. Well, now she didn't dare to say that she lied, so she had to go to the bank to collect the money and go to Ma's house again.
Ma Xiaoquan was drinking tea at home when he suddenly heard that Li Yongzhen was coming again. He thought it was because Wei Zhongxian had changed his mind and wanted compensation.
Ma Xiaoquan was hesitant to meet Li Yongzhen, so Hua Yue suggested that she should go out and meet Li Yongzhen to see the situation.
Ma Xiaoquan agreed.
In the main hall of the Ma family, Li Yongzhen was holding tea and sipping it depressedly. On the table in front of him was a stack of banknotes. Although the face value was not large, it added up to 15,000 yuan.
Two.
Hua Yue walked out with a smile, greeted Li Yongzhen politely, and asked: "Eunuch Li paid a sudden visit, and Ma Xiaoquan happened to be away, so the poor woman came to greet Eunuch Li on his behalf. Well, how does this Dahongpao taste?"
"
Li Yongzhen sighed and said: "Okay, don't be polite to me. I came here this time just to obey Master Wei's order and give you another fifteen thousand taels. Remember, this money cannot be said."
, and you’re not allowed to say anything!”
Hua Yue was secretly shocked, but on the surface she nodded naturally and said: "In that case, the poor woman has nothing to say, just accept the money on Ma Xiaoquan's behalf."
Li Yongzhen hummed, stood up and was about to leave. After taking two steps, Li Yongzhen suddenly stopped and asked: "How...are you so beautiful? Compared to the previous Vulcan Empress Li Qinghan."
Don’t you want to make more concessions?”
Hua Yue smiled brightly and said, "The poor woman is Ma Xiaoquan's second wife. Eunuch Li is very polite."
"Oh, Hua Yue... OK, I will remember you." Li Yongzhen nodded and left Ma's house.
