"That's not good. What if it comes to light and my father-in-law pursues it?"
"Hey, what should I do? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's make it more similar. Well, let's go out and string together some words later and compare them carefully. That'll be it."
"This...that's good, I'll listen to you."
"Well, let's go"
As soon as the words fell, the two heads retracted into the darkness...
Ma Xiaoquan walked out of Zhenfusi Prison and let out a long breath.
"Haha, Zuo Guangdou is worried about whether Shi Kefa will grow up. I think after this time, Shi Kefa will also grow up. Well, I should say, not only grow up, but also grow up to a super level, hehe...
..."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at the night sky. There were many stars.
"The Donglin Party has been destroyed in the past few months. Maybe...I am also starting to prepare..."
...
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan left, in the Zhenfu Prison, Yang Lian shook his hands and pulled out a bloody rag from his arms. On the cloth was Yang Lian's suicide note written in blood.
"This is my final suicide note. Although I have finished writing it, I cannot send it out. Is it true that God wants to kill me?"
Yang Lian smiled bitterly and stuffed the suicide note into a crack in the wall of a cell that was closer to him. Just as he stuffed the suicide note, several prison guards opened the cell door with a bang, and then,
A man was thrown into the prison by the prison guard and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bang" the cell door closed again. After a while, Yang Lian endured the severe pain all over his body and crawled to the man's side.
"Gu Dazhang?" Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"
Gu Dazhang groaned for a long time before he regained his composure.
"Oh, it's Dahong, Yang Lian's nickname... Haha, you are from Donglin, and so am I. Why don't I come in?"
Yang Lian sighed and said: "Wei Zhongxian is so heartbroken that he will not die well..."
Gu Dazhang endured the severe pain and sat up, wiped the blood on his face, and said with a wry smile: "I hope so too, but now you and I may not live much longer..."
"Hey, I will definitely go before you, so I have something to ask of you, and you must agree to it."
Gu Dazhang did not say a word, but nodded slightly.
Yang Lian pulled out his final suicide note from the crack in the wall and handed it to Gu Dazhang with shaking hands: "Everything depends on you."
...
The next day, Yang Lian was taken away from the cell. Gu Dazhang said nothing. He knew that if Yang Lian was taken away this time, he would probably never return.
Not long after Yang Lian was taken away, the prison guards came in for inspection. Since Gu Dazhang also brought Yang Lian's suicide note with him, he was easily caught by the prison guards.
Facing the interrogation of the prison guard, Gu Dazhang suddenly felt relieved. He said to the prison guard calmly: "The matter is just as written in Dahong's suicide note. If you want to kill or scrape, I have nothing to say."
The prison guard read Yang Lian's suicide note. After a brief silence, he suddenly took the suicide note into his arms.
Gu Dazhang was stunned.
"This suicide note will never fall into the hands of Wei Zhongxian." After the prison guard said this calmly, he closed the cell door and left.
...
After Yang Lian was taken away, he was tortured and interrogated again, but Yang Lian was obviously tougher than the others.
Xu Xianchun, who was in charge of the interrogation, used almost all methods, but still couldn't kill Yang Lian. It would be bad if this was delayed and spread to the ears of Master Wei, and he would be blamed.
Therefore, Xu Xianchun decided to kill Yang Lian.
The tortured Yang Lian knew that he would die soon, so he endured the pain, bit his fingers, tore off the only piece of clothing that was slightly intact on his body, and wrote a blood letter with his blood.
The night... is very quiet and deep...
In Ma's study room, Ma Xiaoquan yawned.
Since the last time he was released from Zhenfusi Prison, Ma Xiaoquan began to plan his departure.
We had some discussions with Madam Ma before, but Madam Ma rejected Ma Xiaoquan's invitation on the grounds that she was old and could no longer travel long distances.
Ma Xiaoquan can also understand that Mrs. Ma has lived in the capital for almost her whole life and has long been accustomed to everything here. Besides, she is indeed old and is really not used to traveling long distances.
Since Mrs. Ma is not leaving, there will naturally be some people left in the capital to serve her. Ma Xiaoquan is not worried about what will happen to Mrs. Ma after he leaves. After all, not long after, Zhu Youjian came to power. At that time, his
The energy was mainly focused on purging the interior of the imperial court, rather than irrelevant people from outside.
These days, Ma Xiaoquan has been interviewing the servants of the Ma family one by one. As he expected, nearly half of the servants he interviewed chose to stay in the capital.
Ma Xiaoquan knew that these people were unwilling to leave because there were frequent wars in Ningyuan where they were going, while the capital city was relatively stable. Even if the war broke out, the capital city would still be in tatters for at least a while.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't force it, or in other words, he didn't care at all.
Fortunately, the few followers of his Vulcan Sect have all expressed their loyalty to him and expressed their willingness to leave with their leader.
Ma Xiaoquan wrote a letter and sent it to Ningyuan, telling Ma Ruiqing that he would leave the capital for Ningyuan in the near future. He did not detail what he was going to do in the letter.
After receiving Ma Xiaoquan's letter, Ma Ruiqing, who was far away in Ningyuan, shook his head and said: "What is supposed to come will always come..." After that, Ma Ruiqing burned the letter on the candle flame.
...
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and a few months later, it was the day when Fangfang gave birth.
When Li Qinghan gave birth to Feng'er, Ma Xiaoquan was not at home, so this time when Fangfang gave birth, Ma Xiaoquan specifically asked the emperor for leave to accompany her during the birth.
It was rare for a husband to accompany his daughter-in-law to give birth in this era, or even for hundreds of years to come. Everyone said that it was an ominous sign for a man to see the dirty blood from a woman giving birth.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't care, because he was a modern man, and any bullshit ominous sign was just deceiving.
In the bedroom, Fangfang, who was about to give birth, was shaking in pain due to contractions one after another. However, because of Ma Xiaoquan's encouragement by her side, Fangfang was extremely strong and did not say a word.
When Po Wen, who was facing Fangfang, saw this scene, she couldn't help but admire it secretly.
"Work hard, work hard..." Po Wen gritted her teeth and followed Ma Xiaoquan to encourage Fangfang.
...
That afternoon, Fangfang successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and Ma Xiaoquan named him "Ma Zhifeng."
Zhi is in memory of Ma Zhi, the deceased eldest grandson of the Ma family, and Feng is in memory of Ma Xiaoquan's son Feng'er who was born by Li Qinghan.
What Ma Xiaoquan didn't expect was that just after Ma Zhifeng grew up, he became the strongest head of the Ma family. Of course, this is all a story later.
