When Ma Xiaoquan got up, it was almost noon. He turned around and looked at Hua Yue and Lisa who were still sleeping soundly. Ma Xiaoquan took a long breath and sat up with his hands on his waist.
In order not to be a coward last night, Ma Xiaoquan could be said to have used all his strength. Although the result satisfied all three parties, in fact, the continuous fighting was too much for him.
"No, the last two days must not be like last night, otherwise I will really die of exhaustion." Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his temples and murmured to himself.
"Well" Hua Yue suddenly turned over, and Ma Xiaoquan was so frightened that he quickly hid. The bed was not big, so Ma Xiaoquan couldn't avoid it no matter how hard he hid.
Fortunately, Huayue just hummed and did not wake up. Ma Xiaoquan swallowed and secretly glanced at Lisa on the other side.
Lisa didn't wake up either.
"Well" Ma Xiaoquan breathed out again, tiptoed off the bed, hastily put on his clothes, pants and shoes, and quietly slipped out of the bedroom.
As soon as I closed the door, I met Fangfang with a bulging belly.
"Sir..." Before "Sir" Fangfang could finish speaking, Ma Xiaoquan covered his mouth and said, "Fangfang, don't talk. In another hour, you will go in and you will be happy."
My son and Lisa yelled, they wanted to ask me what I was doing, so they said I was busy and had something to do these two days."
Fangfang looked up at Ma Xiaoquan's dark circles, pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, stop talking and get me something to eat. Well, if you want meat, I want to eat meat."
"Um"
...
After dinner, Ma Xiaoquan hurried out of Ma's house. Although it was daytime, if Huayue and Lisa got up and pestered him to come back a few times tonight, wouldn't it be... well
, without further ado, let’s go out first.
After walking out of Ma's house, Ma Xiaoquan felt that he had nowhere to go. Let's go to the bank. The bank has not yet opened for cleaning today. There is no point in going so early. Let's go to the business gathering place. There seems to be nothing important to deal with.
Just when Ma Xiaoquan was hesitating, a deep male voice came from behind him.
"grown ups"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw that it was the fat businessman he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Oh, it's you? What's going on?"
Since the fat businessman became Ma Xiaoquan's agent at the merchant gathering place, he has been working diligently for Ma Xiaoquan.
"Sir, let me take a step to speak..." the fat businessman whispered.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and led the fat businessman to a teahouse. After sitting down and pouring the tea, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Let's take a sip of tea first."
"Well," the fat businessman picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Your Excellency asked me to investigate Wei Zhongxian's movements, and I have been following up... Sir, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou,
I’m afraid it’s dangerous.”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Of course I know. I have been busy with the bank's affairs these days, and I haven't paid much attention to Brother Yang Lian's affairs. Now that you talk about it, I know it well."
"Sir, do you mean to save them?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Wang Wenyan has been killed, and Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members are facing the emperor, so I can't save them."
"Are you facing the emperor? I don't understand."
"Haha, do you think Wei Zhongxian alone can move the Donglin Party? He didn't deceive the emperor, and the emperor gave the order. Otherwise, how could Wei Zhongxian have such courage?"
"Oh, I understand, sir, what should I do next?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said, "Just keep watching. By the way, has anything happened at the gathering place recently?"
The fat businessman shook his head: "It's nothing. It's just that when Fang Yun was transporting silver a few days ago, he took his sweetheart away. He said it was your wish."
"Well, that's what I meant."
The fat businessman rolled his eyes and whispered: "Sir, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Sir, I feel that Fang Yun seems to be hiding something from you."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Everyone has a little secret. Fatty, do you dare to say that you have nothing to hide from me?"
The fat businessman was stunned and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with some horror.
Ma Xiaoquan reached out and patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. I eat meat, so I can't let you drink soup. But don't betray me, otherwise, you will know my methods."
The fat businessman nodded vigorously.
"Okay, let's go get busy." Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand.
...
Not long after the fat businessman left, Ma Xiaoquan also paid and left the teahouse. He was hesitant about where to go just now, but now that the fat businessman said this, Ma Xiaoquan had an idea in his mind.
Arriving at the door of a private house, Ma Xiaoquan looked around and after making sure that no one was there, he knocked on the door.
"Please come in" a man's voice came from inside the room.
Ma Xiaoquan pushed the door open and entered.
In the room, a man was writing something with his head down. Ma Xiaoquan came in. He raised his head and glanced, then put down the brush in his hand, stood up and said politely: "Why do you have the heart to come to my place, Mr. Deacon?"
Ma Xiaoquan returned his hand and said, "Brother Mu, you told me about this private house. I have nothing to do, so I came here to look around, haha."
The man chuckled and said, "Sir, you are joking. I'm afraid you want to get some news about Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and the others from me, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, sat down casually, and said, "Brother Mu is still awesome. Yes, I came here today for this very reason."
"Yes." The man nodded, "If you don't come to me, I will come to you. This is what Yang Lian and the others have been doing recently."
Ma Xiaoquan took a few pieces of paper from the man's hand, stood and looked at it, then frowned and said, "I only know that Wang Wenyan has been killed. Who would have thought that Brother Yang Lian and the others would be so miserable now."
"Hey, no one who has entered the Zhenfusi Prison is intact..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that so many things have happened recently. It seems that the Donglin Party really has no way to save the day."
Zhang Mazi and Zhang Muzhi said: "Actually, this is fine. Although the Donglin Party members have some capable people, forming a party for personal gain has always been taboo in all dynasties. It's just because the emperor is young and doesn't understand it very well. Otherwise, otherwise
..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "According to this, isn't the eunuch party also an example?"
"That's true, but the Eunuch Party is currently very powerful, and the emperor doesn't care much about it. Wei Zhongxian just talks nonsense all day long, so the Eunuch Party is still safe for the time being."
