Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan was deeply moved by the ladies' firm determination... At the same time, in the modern underground world, Ming Yuexin was still unconscious...
The master's departure without saying goodbye made Ma Xiaoquan feel a little depressed. He originally wanted to ask the master to give him some advice and get some things he wanted to know from the master. Unexpectedly, the master and his wife Hua Yuexin disappeared after talking about something.
Missing?
"Hey" Ma Xiaoquan sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
While he was sighing, Cao Pi's aide Sima Yi suddenly came to visit and said that he wanted to meet the Lord Shangxian.
Ma Xiaoquan, who was still in a heavy mood, was not surprised by Sima Yi's arrival. He just said lightly: "Let him come in."
Sima Yi walked up to Ma Xiaoquan with square steps, bowed to Ma Xiaoquan respectfully, and said: "Sima Yi has met Lord Shangxian!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked: "Zhongda, why are you here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
Sima Yin said: "Yes, Master Shangxian, the master has promised to help solve the matter of Mr. Cao Zhi..."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan came to his senses and asked again, "Xiao Cao pointed out that Cao Cao is not afraid that those old Han ministers will take the opportunity to criticize him and look for him, isn't he?"
Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. It's just that people talk a lot. The reason why my lord didn't come forward rashly before has his own reasons."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Zhongda, aren't you from Xiao Cao, referring to Cao Pi? What? Xiao Cao refers to Cao Cao who asked you to come?"
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Yes!"
"Oh, did Xiao Cao say how he dealt with his son's affairs?"
Sima Yi said: "Yes, but... my lord said that I need your help, Lord Immortal..."
Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: "Is my help too little? Tell me, how can I help?"
Sima Yi was overjoyed, approached Ma Xiaoquan, and repeated Cao Cao's meaning to Ma Xiaoquan.
After listening to Sima Yi's retelling, Ma Xiaoquan frowned and said, "Xiao Cao wants to do this? Zhongda, I'm afraid Xiao Cao also has your suggestion in his meaning, right?"
Sima Yi chuckled: "Master Shangxian is so flattering, how can my subordinates dare to offer advice casually..."
Although Sima Yi resisted, looking at his raised eyebrows, Ma Xiaoquan knew what the old boy was thinking.
"Okay, stop pretending. Regardless of whether you have it or not, at least this matter is beneficial to me, right? Zhongda, your political sense is indeed very keen!"
"Master Immortal, you are really ridiculous, haha"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "It's not wrong. It's just right. Zhongda, you just said that thing can be done. It can be done. It's just that the little emperor has to give some excuses. Come on, think of a way for me to get the best of both worlds."
."
Sima Yi pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Sir, there is a way, but this method requires you to discuss it with a few young masters."
"Oh? Tell me and listen."
Sima Yi said: "My lord, it is not difficult to save Mr. Cao Zhi with this method. However, due to public opinion, my lord will definitely have to bear a lot of pressure. Therefore, the method my subordinates thought of is called... transfer."
"Transfer? Tell me in detail."
"Well" Sima Yi nodded respectfully, "That's right, Lord Shangxian can do this...and then...the final result..."
After listening to Sima Yi's suggestion, Ma Xiaoquan fell silent.
Sima Yi's suggestion was to let him design a scene. Well, the word scene was also what Ma Xiaoquan told Sima Yi at the beginning.
This scenario involves all three brothers, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, causing the three Cao brothers to "disrespect" Ma Xiaoquan, which in turn triggers Ma Xiaoquan's anger. Of course, Sima Yi's last suggestion was very vague, but the meaning was to let Ma Xiaoquan
Beat up these three boys...
"Zhongda...isn't your move a bit underhanded?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Sima Yi playfully.
Sima Yi blushed: "What's the big deal? Master Shangxian, think about it, you are the Immortal Marquis of this big man, and you also have an important position with the Emperor. If you beat them publicly... uh publicly
If you are not happy, the emperor will definitely be happy. In this case, the blame of Young Master Cao Zhi will naturally be transferred, and then the lord will just borrow the slope to get off the donkey... Hehe..."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "Oh, I've been working as a gunman for you for a long time. Well, let me think about it."
"Master Shangxian, you don't have to think about it!" Sima Yi clapped his hands and immediately walked in from outside the door. Several big men carried several large boxes and placed them in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a clang.
"Master Shangxian, this is a small thought from my lord..." Sima Yi said, stepping forward to open a box, and the room suddenly became brighter.
"Holy shit!" Looking at the orb necklace in Sima Yi's hand, Ma Xiaoquan swallowed hard.
Although he is not short of money, it does not mean that he does not need money. The money can make his family richer. Even if he leaves, he will not worry too much about his family being sad because of poverty.
"Okay! Xiao Cao is indeed very party-minded..."
"Party spirit?" Sima Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at Ma Xiaoquan suspiciously.
"Oh haha..." Ma Xiaoquan blushed in embarrassment, "What I mean is that Xiao Cao is very good and suits my taste very well, haha..."
Sima Yi said "oh" and was also very happy. You must know that before he became a "lobbyist", he had very doubts about the judgment of his lord Cao Cao.
The lord said: Master Shangxian has no other hobbies, he only loves money, so I will pack a few boxes of treasures for the demon and keep them safe.
Sima Yi didn't really believe it at first, but what he saw now was that he was completely speechless by Ma Xiaoquan's money-obsessed look.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, looked at Sima Yi's frown, and suddenly said seriously: "Zhongda, do you know why I like money so much?"
Sima Yi felt a little contempt for Ma Xiaoquan in his heart, but pretended to be respectful and shook his head.
"Because I will leave one day, but I want my family to live a good life. In this era, either you have money or power, it's that simple. Zhongda, do you understand?"
Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and found that Master Shangxian's eyes had become very sharp at this moment, and the money-obsessed look just now had been replaced by a solemn expression.
After thinking for a moment, Sima Yi suddenly enlightened and laughed loudly: "I finally understand, I understand, haha... It turns out that Master Shangxian is taking precautions, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "It's good that you know, Zhongda. In the future, when I am away, my family will depend on you."
Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lord Shangxian. Other subordinates cannot guarantee that this can be done."
"Okay, that's good. With Zhongda's words, I won't say anything else. Come on, get ready. I need you to help me plan in detail..."
Sima Yi bowed slightly: "As you wish!"
...
Four days later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was far away in Xudu, suddenly heard a piece of news that surprised him: There was a rift between Shenxian Hou and Cao Cao's three sons, and he beat two of them, especially Cao Zhi, who was said to be beyond recognition.
....
"Come...someone is coming..." Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, shouted hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" A Han official came forward and knelt down in front of Liu Xie.
"The news from Yecheng...well, is it true that Shenxianhou and Cao Cao's three sons had a falling out?"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. Not only that, the Immortal Marquis also said that as long as the three Cao brothers dare to show up, they will be beaten again!"
When Liu Xie heard this, he laughed loudly and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, great, my uncle is finally willing to help me with something, haha..."
Beside Liu Xie, Queen Fu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you think this happened a little strange?"
Liu Xie said oh, thought about it for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, there is indeed something fishy. Send the order and let me investigate thoroughly what is going on!"
"As you command!"
...
At the same time, in the Ma family's courtyard in Yecheng, Ma Xiaoquan crossed his legs leisurely and listened to the report of his servants.
"Oh...that guy Cao Zhang just came back?"
The servant said: "To answer my master's question, Mr. Cao went out to suppress the rebellion a few days ago, so you didn't hit him..."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips: "That kid Cao Zhang...what about Cao Pi and Cao Zhi?"
"Replying to my master, Mr. Cao Pi is bedridden, and Mr. Cao Zhi...he..."
"Tell me, what happened to Cao Zhi?"
"Reply to the master, Mr. Cao Zhi said that he is not convinced!"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly, shook his head and said: "Let him refuse. Hum."
At night, Ma Xiaoquan lurked into Cao Zhi's home alone. At this time, Cao Zhi was lying on the bed and resting.
Ma Xiaoquan gently patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder and woke up Cao Zhi.
When he saw Master Shangxian suddenly appearing in front of him, Cao Zhi was not surprised. Instead, he smiled and said, "Sir Shangxian arrived earlier than I expected."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, "How do you say this?"
Cao Zhi said: "I expected Master Shangxian to come tomorrow, but I didn't expect Master Shangxian to visit late at night, haha..."
