Bei Mingxue laughed at Ma Xiaoquan: "That's not because you sacrificed your appearance. Hey, what's there to show off?"
"Uh~~Having said that, I didn't take the last step with her." Ma Xiaoquan defended.
"You dare?" the two women said in unison.
Ma Xiaoquan quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare!"
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare, otherwise, I will ask my sister to castrate you!" Bei Mingxue threatened.
Ma Xiaoquan was so frightened that he quickly covered his crotch and smiled apologetically: "Don't worry, no, absolutely not, hehe."
...
A few days later, Ma Xiaoquan heard that the guest Yinyue had returned to the palace, and his trip was even more exaggerated than before.
In response to this, some officials came to Ma Xiaoquan secretly, intending to drag the deacon to find an opportunity to read the book "Yin Yue".
Naturally, Ma Xiaoquan would not do this, but he could not offend these talkative guys. After entertaining them with good food and rice, he beat them away one by one.
...
That evening, the emperor suddenly issued an order to summon Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan had just picked up his rice bowl and had only taken a few bites before he dressed up and went to see the emperor, which caused quite a bit of criticism from the female family members.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled helplessly and said consolingly: "The emperor is looking for me so late. Something must have happened."
Hua Yue said: "What can happen to the emperor? The spies have just come to report it, and Wei Zhongxian is the one who got in the way."
"Hmph, that old eunuch..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled contemptuously, "Don't worry, to be honest, I won't die."
Bei Mingxue didn't believe it: "You won't die? What if they ambush some swordsmen on the left and right and chop you down? What will you do?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, reached out and picked up the fork on the table, pointed it at his own hand, and stabbed it hard.
"Yeah~" Fangfang, who was holding the child, was startled. Before she could fully react, the fork had already been placed on the back of Ma Xiaoquan's hand.
Wait...it seems wrong, it's not crossed on the back of the hand, but...
Bei Mingxue's eyes widened, she looked closer and said in surprise: "You...are you invulnerable? This fork can't hurt you at all? The fork tips are even bent."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said: "So I said, I am not afraid of any swordsman or axe. Okay, I will leave. You guys, eat in peace and wait for me to come back."
"Hmm~~"
...
When Ma Xiaoquan arrived at the palace, as expected, he did not see the emperor, but met Wei Zhongxian first.
When Wei Zhongxian saw Ma Xiaoquan, he felt a surge of resentment in his heart.
Wei Zhongxian already knew about Ma Xiaoquan's previous visit to Ke Yinyue's house, and Wei Zhongxian also knew the length of Ma Xiaoquan's stay in the guest house.
Based on his understanding of Ke Yinyue, Wei Zhongxian knew very well what happened between her and Ma Xiaoquan. Although Ke Yinyue would always look for men to have fun when he was away, Wei Zhongxian didn't care, but... Ma Xiaoquan couldn't.
.
The more he looked, the more angry he became, and the more he looked, the more jealous he became. Wei Zhongxian said sourly: "Ma Xiaoquan, I heard that you went to Mrs. Fengsheng's house a few days ago?"
Ma Xiaoquan knew what Wei Zhongxian was referring to, so he didn't provoke anyone. He shrugged and said, "Well, we just drank tea and chatted about home affairs. Why, does Eunuch Wei think that I have a tryst with Madam Feng Sheng?"
"Huh, don't you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smashed his lips and said: "Wei Zhongxian, this is how petty you are. I, Ma Xiaoquan, have a family, and Mrs. Fengsheng also has someone to eat with. Well, it's you. You said that Mrs. Fengsheng has someone to marry her. I
Are you still plotting against her? Besides, you, a great man... er, a great eunuch, don’t have any confidence in yourself? "
"You!" Wei Zhongxian was choked by Ma Xiaoquan and was speechless.
"Okay, it's your fault, Eunuch Wei, you are not young anymore, and your anger can easily harm your body. By the way, the emperor summoned me, why don't you see the emperor?"
Wei Zhongxian sneered and said: "The Emperor is very busy, so I asked you to wait."
"Very busy? What are you busy with?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just wait when I ask you to wait!" After saying that, Wei Zhongxian flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhang Mazi, the leader of Tianlao Prison who rarely appeared in the palace, suddenly appeared in front of Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised and asked: "Brother Mu, you want to see me for something?"
Zhang Mazi nodded: "I asked someone to go to your home to find you, and was told that you had entered the palace, so I came to find you myself."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Zhang Mazi showed a slight surprise, then calmly said: "Wei Zhongxian has paid money to bribe the idle vagrants in the capital to work for him to find out information. So far, he has wrongly arrested a hundred and ten people."
"Oh? Wei Zhongxian is too arrogant, right?"
Zhang Mazi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just telling you this. Because of this, my sparrows also suffered some losses."
"Is it big?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Zhang Mazi shook his head: "It's not big, but it does hurt my vitality. Well, Brother Ma, I think the time is almost here. I think...it's time to hand over all my sparrows to you."
"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows, pulled Zhang Mazi aside, and whispered: "Why did Brother Mu make such a sudden decision?"
Zhang Mazi smiled bitterly: "It's unfair to say that one of my cousins was caught and exposed because of some words. Although we think it's okay, he violated Wei Zhongxian's taboo and is currently locked up in the Jinyi Guard Prison."
"Oh, what Brother Mu means is that you want me to save your cousin?"
Zhang Mazi nodded.
"Hey, look at what you said. Why would you hand over all the sparrows you control to me for a cousin? It looks like we are trading?"
Zhang Mazi shook his head: "No, no, I really want to leave the sparrows to Brother Ma."
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Okay, then, brother Mu also knows that I, Ma Xiaoquan, have one code and one code, and I don't do loss-making business. I need a list of all the sparrows, not one less, and their details.
."
Zhang Mazi nodded: "Okay, no problem."
"Okay, since Brother Mu is so forthcoming, I will protect your cousin. Come on, Brother Mu, tell me about your cousin..."
...
Half an hour later, Wei Zhongxian walked out of the Yangxin Hall and saw Ma Xiaoquan still waiting, and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Hey, Mr. Butler, are you still waiting?"
Ma Xiaoquan glared at Wei Zhongxian and said nothing.
Wei Zhongxian was not angry when he saw that Ma Xiaoquan ignored him, because he had just received news from Tian Ergen, saying that a group of people had been arrested, and they were all suspicious elements who were disrespectful to Mr. Wei. He hoped that Mr. Wei would come back and take a look.
.....
"Oh, ignore me, okay, I won't ignore you either, just wait..." After that, Wei Zhongxian left proudly.
Not long after Wei Zhongxian left, Ke Yinyue walked out of the Yangxin Hall. When she saw Ma Xiaoquan, Ke Yinyue stepped forward happily: "Xiao Ma, why are you here?"
"Oh, sister Ke, the emperor has summoned me, shouldn't I wait?"
