Summary of the previous chapter: Zhang Tianhao wanted Ma Xiaoquan to take over his Zhang family's business, but Ma Xiaoquan did not agree because he had other plans

++++++++++++++++++++

Not long after Ma Xiaoquan left, Wei Zhongxian poked his head out of the door.

"Ma Xiaoquan is gone?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

Xiao Huangmen, who guarded the door, said respectfully: "Back to my father-in-law, I have already left~ Father-in-law, he said that he will come to you in half an hour~ If you are not there, he will go to the palace to find you"

Wei Zhongxian frowned and scolded: "Ma Xiaoquan of this dog day, don't give up, you have to get it, I'll stay at home, half an hour will pass soon, I'll wait for him." With that, Wei Zhongxian retracted his head

"Ah sneeze~" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his nose and muttered, "Someone scolded me, well, it must be Wei Zhongxian, hum, this old guy is at home but pretending not to be there, okay, I can do my business." ”

Ma Xiaoquan quickened his pace, and arrived at the door of a gambling house a quarter of an hour later.

The door of the gambling house was closed, but the sound of gamblers shouting came from inside, and there was a big man squatting at the door.

"Stop, this is here" Before the big man finished speaking, he saw the embroidered spring knife pinned to Ma Xiaoquan's waist and the horned dragon order unique to the "Jinyiwei" deacon, and was startled, and quickly changed his words, "Lord Deacon, you"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "Passing by, I heard the voice, let's take a look, well, you guys are not small, this is the palace, you dare to gather people to gamble?" ”

When the big man heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Adult, adult is angry, small, small are just"

Before the Han finished speaking, the door of the gambling house was kicked open from the inside, and several guards rushed out, each holding a guy in his hand, looking like he wanted to die.

However, the next moment these guards saw Ma Xiaoquan, they quickly threw away the guys in their hands, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if their grandsons had seen their grandfathers.

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head with a smile, and said: "You guys are really not small, not to mention gathering people to gamble in the palace, you actually raised a knife to this deacon, well, good, very good~~ I heard that you are all Wei Zhongxian's people, and you have been arrogant and domineering in recent days, and this deacon should not have taken care of it, but if you use a knife against this deacon, this is a capital crime~ Well, Wei Zhongxian is here, and he can't protect you."

"Adults, adults spare their lives, the little ones really don't know that they are adults, they really don't know~"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Well, your capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, seeing that the New Year is approaching, this deacon doesn't want to punish people, no matter what, this matter is also in a hurry, if it weren't for your father-in-law Wei to arrange something for you, this deacon would not be able to take care of this idle matter."

"Father-in-law has something to arrange?"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Nonsense, otherwise you think that this deacon is from a second-rank official, what are you doing here?" If it weren't for the old guy Wei Zhongxian's bet and lost, Deacon Ben wouldn't have come to help him pass the word, you guys listen, what Grandpa Wei asked you to do, you do it slowly, don't delay any longer~"

Several guards looked at each other, and one of them said boldly: "My lord, my father-in-law doesn't seem to have arranged things for us?" ”

"Nonsense, I'm here, isn't this arranged~ What, you still suspect Deacon?" Ma Xiaoquan crossed his eyebrows and said coldly.

"Don't dare, don't dare~"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's pretty much the same, okay, this deacon doesn't talk nonsense, you are not deacon's people after all, this deacon will make a long story short, you"

When a few people heard this, they were surprised: "My lord, my father-in-law's arrangement is a bit difficult, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Difficult? Regardless of my business, this deacon is to pass on a message if you lose a bet, you can do it if you want to, forget it if you don't want to, anyway, you are not this deacon's person, oh yes, if you want to make a noise about this matter, don't blame this deacon for not being emotional, understand? ”

Several people glanced at each other and said in unison: "Don't worry, the little ones definitely don't know anything~"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "That's beautiful, okay, go ahead, remember, you are under the surveillance of this deacon all the time, don't do anything out of line, understand?" ”

A few people nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go, go and do things~ By the way, Gonggong Wei has arranged this for you a lot, how do you fish, whether you can fish, it depends on your own ability, well, don't blame Deacon Ben for not reminding you, you have to know how to cover up, understand?" ”

"The little one understands, the little one understands?" Several people glanced at each other, entered the gambling house and got their gambling money back, and left in a hurry.

Seeing these people leave, Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said to himself: "Maybe it's not right for me to do this, but if you want to dominate the business world, you must take this step, Zhang Tianhao, don't blame me, it's just what I got back from your Zhang family~"

On the way back, Ma Xiaoquan was delayed for some time.

On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, the small traders were shouting loudly, and the officers and soldiers who usually patrolled the field without smiling also put on smiling faces, and it could be seen that everyone was looking forward to the New Year.

Ma Xiaoquan stops and goes, look here, look there.

Just then, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

When I turned my head, it was a strange woman, the woman's appearance was average, but the clothes on her body were somewhat similar to the clothes worn by Li Qinghan.

"Girl, you are"

The woman sneered and whispered, "It seems that Sister Yue'er's disguise skills are much better than mine~"

"Yue'er?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, leaned in front of the woman, and whispered, "Are you cold?" How did you get out? ”

The woman's face flushed: "It's almost the New Year, I have to come out and choose New Year's goods, oh yes, my father and brother won't come back this year, and Ning Yuan can't get out of it." ”

"Oh, that's a pity, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of us this year, and it's still lively~"

"Well, okay, let's not talk about it yet, I'm going to buy New Year's goods~"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and watched Li Qinghan leave after changing his face

In the evening, Li Qinghan returned with a full load, in addition to bringing back a lot of New Year's goods, he also brought an extra jar of wine to Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan rarely drinks alcohol, and when he took Li Qinghan's cup of wine, Ma Xiaoquan was surprised and said: "Qinghan, this wine"

Li Qinghan's face flushed, and he whispered: "This is tonic wine, and drinking it is good for the body." ”

"Uh~~" Ma Xiaoquan instantly understood Li Qinghan's meaning, tonight is the twenty-ninth year, tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the next few days will have to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings, then there will definitely be no time, this no time, Li Qinghan's side of the public grain will not be able to pay soon

Ma Xiaoquan hugged Li Qinghan and whispered: "I don't have to make it up, my body is great, you don't know~"

Li Qinghan lowered his head, and his voice became quieter: "It's not me, it's Sister Yue'er, she said that she wanted to have two drinks with you tonight, I think you will"

"Yue" Ma Xiaoquan was taken aback, "Yue'er, this is still not good, right?" ”

Li Qinghan shook his head: "It's hard to say, hey~ You are also you, you are really an elm head, Sister Yue'er is such a good woman, you are indifferent to her?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, saying that women are selfish in their feelings, but Qinghan is not only not selfish, but also pushes herself to Huayue, which is really a needle in a woman's heart.

"But I'm with her," Ma Xiaoquan wanted to argue in the end.

Li Qinghan said: "You don't have to worry about this, Sister Yue'er is not small, she can make her own decisions about many things, but it is cheap for you, hum~ I don't know where you are good"

Ma Xiaoquan pouted, although he felt that he would not cross the thunder pool with Hua Yue, but the beauty was on the side, so he still had to take it easy.

It's just that tonight I have to plan a route for Zhang Tianhao's family to escape from Beijing, which is in case he and Huayue drink too much, in case that one will definitely have no energy?

When he was worried, a subordinate suddenly came to report that there had been a murder in the courtyard of the Zhang family.

Ma Xiao said wholeheartedly that it was really timely, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to get dressed up and lead them to the Zhang family's mansion.

The courtyard door was hidden, Ma Xiaoquan pushed the door in, and found several corpses lying in the courtyard.

Rushing into the main hall, Ma Xiaoquan found Zhang Tianhao.

When Zhang Tianhao saw Ma Xiaoquan, as if he had seen a savior, he threw himself in front of him, crying bitterly and said: "Lord Deacon, you must help our Zhang family, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian."

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I know everything, okay, don't worry~ This time, you believe my words, right?" ”

Zhang Tianhao nodded.

"I've almost planned the route to escape from Beijing City~" Ma Xiaoquan lied, "Tomorrow morning, you come to me, well, tonight, I will send someone to guard here, but the corpses in the yard, I have to move away~ Well, the corpses in the courtyard, I don't think they are from your Zhang family, but with this warning, I estimate that you are also in danger~ By the way, are you all ready?" ”

Zhang Tianhao wiped away his tears helplessly and said, "It's all ready, everything that can be made into a silver ticket is all done, but these antiques" Zhang Tianhao said, turning his head to look at the many antiques in the main hall.

Although Ma Xiaoquan was also greedy, he didn't show it: "Okay, saving your life is more important than anything else, you antiques, Wei Zhongxian must be rare, but it's okay, at least he won't destroy you, and you will change hands~" Ma Xiaoquan said, looking at the Zhang family in the main hall.
