Several other bosses also said: "Yes, you have to be targeted when catching traitors. This aimless arrest all over the capital is just random..."
"Yeah, yeah, it's just nonsense..."
...
Mr. Wang was sitting in the main seat with his eyes straight. He didn't listen to a word of what his colleagues said.
"Mr. Wang..." Boss Ma with a mustache said, "Is it because of your respect..."
Mr. Wang came back to his senses, sighed and nodded.
"Jingzhi is always cautious in his actions and rarely appears in public. Besides, Jingzhi is a native of the capital. How could he be involved with foreign enemy spies?"
Mr. Wang raised his head and glanced at the colleague who was speaking, and said with a wry smile: "I also want to know this question, but Ma Xiaoquan detained Jingzhi and refused to allow him to see anything other than to deliver meals. Alas...
"
"Mr. Wang, if you want me to see it, why don't you ask Mr. Wei about this?"
Mr. Wang shook his head: "This is not possible. The order comes from the emperor. Even if Mr. Wei is very capable, I am afraid it will be difficult to interfere. Besides, the emperor gave Ma Xiaoquan full authority to handle this matter. I think we should find another way.
?”
"Mr. Wang, didn't we say we wanted to save Ma's Bank? I think we can negotiate terms with Ma Xiaoquan in the name of rescue."
Mr. Wang thought for a while and sighed: "This is the only way..."
In fact, Mr. Wang was very frightened in his heart, because the Wang family lineage was actually a secret agent planted by the Jurchens in the capital, responsible for collecting news from the capital, and then spread the news to the Liaodong area.
Wang Jingzhi, Wang Lao's son, is the most valued son of Wang Lao. In the past, Wang Jingzhi handled the tasks of communicating with the Jurchens. During the years that Wang Jingzhi handled it, nothing happened to the Wang family.
...
Late at night, Ma Xiaoquan received an invitation letter from the Bank Alliance, which said that he would be invited to the Alliance House tomorrow to discuss matters related to the rescue of the Ma Family Bank.
Ma Xiaoquan shook the invitation letter in his hand and said with a smile: "They contacted me so quickly? It seems that Wang Jingzhi really has a problem."
At this time, Hua Yue walked in, saw the invitation letter in Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and smiled: "It has been found out, Wang Jingzhi, well, it should be said that the Wang family has a close relationship with the Jurchens..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Zhang Mazi also gave me information about other bank bosses, but they are not so obvious collaborators."
"So, in the entire bank alliance, only the Wang family has problems?"
"We can't draw a conclusion so quickly. It is said that the bank alliance has been established for a long time. If Mr. Wang can be the leader of this term, he has a close relationship with other bosses. To put it simply, only the Wang family and his daughter
It really has something to do with it. I'm afraid even if it is finally implemented and reported to the emperor, the emperor will not believe it. As the saying goes, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. If Wang Laoyi's family is caught, all the bank bosses in the capital will probably be implicated."
"Then what do you mean..."
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes, thought for a while and said: "This is the end of the matter. If we want to do it, let's do it big. Well, we still have a few years before we leave Beijing. Hum, we can't waste this time.
,hey-hey......"
...
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan came to the place where the "suspected collaborators" were detained and successfully found Wang Jingzhi.
Wang Jingzhi is about forty years old. He is not tall and not fat. He has a Chinese character face and a neatly trimmed beard on his chin. This appearance is typical of the Chinese people. It is very difficult to say that he is a traitor who collaborates with the enemy.
It's hard to believe.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan, he stood up politely and bowed his hand to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Are you Wang Jingzhi, Mr. Wang's son?"
"To tell you the truth, that's right!"
"Well, do you know what it means to be detained here by me?"
Wang Jingzhi's eyes flashed slightly, he shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know."
"I don't know? No way?" Ma Xiaoquan said, "Don't the people who came in with you talk about it?"
Wang Jingzhi said: "The younger one doesn't know why the adults want to arrest the younger one. The younger one is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty who abides by the law. I don't know if those people are colluding with foreign enemies..."
"Ha" Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth, snapped his fingers, and said, "You are very smart. You don't answer my question directly, but you indirectly say that you are innocent. Well, it's a pity. If we can't find enough evidence to prove your innocence,
, I can’t let you out.”
Wang Jingzhi was obviously not provoked by Ma Xiaoquan. He nodded calmly and said, "I know that I am innocent. I also believe that the adults know that I am innocent. It will be a matter of time before I get out. Why should I be anxious?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said nothing.
After exiting, Ma Xiaoquan summoned two of his men and ordered: "Keep an eye on Wang Jingzhi secretly. If there is any trouble with him, report it immediately."
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant of the Ma family came over respectfully, whispered in Ma Xiaoquan's ear: "Sir, Mr. Wang from Yongsheng Bank has something to ask you for, and he is waiting for you at home now."
"Mr. Wang? Haha, Cao Cao will be here soon. Ask Mr. Wang to wait for me for a moment. I will be there later."
...
In the main hall of the Ma family, Mr. Wang sat quietly with his hands behind his back without saying a word. Next to him, there were several other bosses from the bank alliance sitting beside him.
"Mr. Wang, we are here to see Ma Xiaoquan today. Do you think he will not give us face? Not see us?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang, Ma Xiaoquan is not at home now..."
While several people were talking, a servant from the Ma family came in and said with a smile: "Boss, my lord has said that he will be here shortly. Please take a break."
Upon hearing the servant's words, the few of them looked at each other, and their hearts that were still a little anxious suddenly felt a lot calmer.
Since Ma Xiaoquan is willing to meet, it proves that this matter is easy to negotiate. Then the bank alliance's plan to rescue the Ma family bank and exchange Wang Jingzhi's affairs on this condition is tantamount to having a preliminary conclusion.
Mr. Wang stood up, smiled politely at the servants of the Ma family, and said, "Well done!"
...
A quarter of an hour later, Ma Xiaoquan entered the main hall with a smile. When he saw Mr. Wang and others standing and holding hands with him, Ma Xiaoquan laughed and returned the favor.
After everyone sat down, Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Mr. Wang, this bank alliance is not just yours, Yongsheng Bank, right?"
Mr. Wang chuckled: "Of course, it's just that my useless son is with the adults, so..."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wang's son is called Wang Jingzhi, isn't he?"
"Haha, exactly!"
"Then what Mr. Wang means by coming here today is that he wants me to let Wang Jingzhi go?"
Mr. Wang smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"I'm afraid that's not possible, right?" Ma Xiaoquan said, "I have been ordered by the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of foreign enemy spies in the capital. Well, you also know that the war in Ningyuan, Liaodong, in our Ming Dynasty is tense at present, and the emperor has already given an order.
After a thorough investigation, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to ask me to release him without any reason.”
