Summary of the previous chapter: Jiang Batian led people to search for Jiang Monkey's house, but unfortunately nothing was found

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

Jiang Batian frowned and glanced at Jiang Monkey's wife, hey, he is almost forty years old, his figure is a little out of shape, he is not good-looking~

"Hmph~ Jiang Monkey, count your old boy lucky~ Jiang Long, let's go!" Jiang Batian waved his hand and led Jiang Long and a few other subordinates to leave in a hurry.

Jiang Monkey collapsed to the ground with a pop, but his wife put on her coat very calmly, walked up to him, slapped his head, and scolded: "Useless man~ What are you still doing in a daze, get up~~"

Jiang Monkey came back to his senses, quickly stood up, pulled his wife into the room, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what did you do?" What about money? ”

Jiang Monkey's wife grinned, took off her shoes, and then knocked the soles of her shoes and pulled out a few silver tickets from them: "Oh, here~"

Jiang Monkey's heart was overjoyed, hugged his wife and kissed him fiercely: "Daughter-in-law, you are simply amazing~"

"Hmph, I knew that your money was not coming properly, so I had an extra heart, and I originally took out a silver ticket to show you, although it was exchanged by the black money bank, but the silver ticket was a regular big money bank's ticket Who thought you were a useless person who shook off the silver ticket, and was discovered by Jiang Batian, but fortunately, I was quick to eat it~"

Jiang Monkey smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a pity, it's a pity, most of it has been saved."

"Hmph, you're really useless, Jiang Batian is here today, and he will definitely come back later, I don't think it's okay, let's go~ Anyway, the babies are all in their hometown."

Jiang Monkey nodded: "Okay, then go home, hum, but what Jiang Batian did to us today, I will definitely not spare him~"

"Yes, never spare him, monkey, what do you think?"

Jiang Monkey smiled: "Isn't Jiang Batian and Huang Tianhu having a lot of trouble recently, it seems that the previous alliance is about to collapse, when we leave, give him a boost, hum~~"

"Hey, okay, I'll listen to you~"

Two days later, on the night, Jiang Monkey suddenly came to Ma Xiaoquan and said that he wanted to ask the chief steward for a favor, and he wanted to meet Huang Tianhu.

Ma Xiaoquan knew Jiang Monkey's motives, so he simply agreed, but in view of Huang Tianhu's absence from the Cao Gang recently, this matter could not be done for a while, so Ma Xiaoquan suggested that Jiang Monkey had something to say to him, and when Huang Tianhu came back, he could help tell him first.

Jiang Monkey originally wanted to talk to Huang Tianhu about Jiang Batian in person, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was going to leave anyway, so it was better to talk to the chief steward again.

After listening to Jiang Monkey's retelling, Ma Xiaoquan was secretly surprised, originally thought that Jiang Monkey was nothing more than a gambler, a loafer all day long, who expected the content from his mouth, but it was very rulely, and the thinking was clear.

Ma Xiaoquan frowned throughout the whole process, and after listening to Jiang Monkey's retelling, his brows suddenly stretched, and he said with a smile: "Jiang Monkey, listening to your retelling, it seems that you have also read books, right?" ”

Jiang Monkey nodded and said: "Back to the adult, the little one has indeed read books, and he is still a showman, but because his family is poor, he hastily married his daughter-in-law, and later I heard that Jiang Batian mixed well in the Cao Gang, and felt that he was a little related to him, so he came to defect, and this stay is more than ten years."

"I see, so why did you go back to your hometown this time? Is the Cao Gang bad? ”

Jiang Monkey's old face turned red and said: "Don't hide it, I have already exchanged the silver ingots given by the adults into silver tickets, and now I have money in hand, so I don't want to stay here anymore." ”

"Oh, so, you changed all the money?"

"Hmm~~"

Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin: "You went to the money bank in the town to change?" Does no one doubt you? ”

Jiang Monkey smiled and said, "My wife went to the black money village to change, a little loss, it can still be exchanged, and the exchange is still a regular silver ticket."

"Hehe, Jiang Monkey, Jiang Monkey, you are so smart, okay, how much you have lost, I will make it up to you~"

"Ahhh

Ma Xiaoquan did not hesitate, directly took out a silver ticket of twenty taels from his sleeve pocket, and threw it to Jiang Monkey: "Take it, since you want to go back to your hometown, just be a little more beautiful, well, what you said about Jiang Batian, I will write it down, Jiang Monkey, you have made a great contribution to the imperial court~"

Jiang Monkey used to be a showman, and naturally he has always been yearning for the road of official eunuchs, and now Ma Xiaoquan said that he made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and Jiang Monkey was naturally very happy.

"Adult, the little one has a reluctant request~"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Monkey, do you want to serve the imperial court?" ”

Jiang Monkey was stunned for a moment, fell to his knees with a pop, kowtowed, and said, "My lord is wise~"

"Hehe, it's good to have this heart, but do you know that you said so many bad things about Jiang Batian, even if you enter the imperial court, I'm afraid you will be abused by your fellow countrymen, Jiang Monkey, can you stand it?"

Jiang Monkey raised his head and said, "What's unbearable about this, it's all temporary~"

Ma Xiaoquan sighed secretly in his heart, I have to say that from ancient times to the present, the people of the Celestial Dynasty have admired official power, the so-called three years of county prefect 100,000 snowflakes of silver, which official's ass is clean (including Ma Xiaoquan himself), no matter how unbearable this person is, as long as he becomes an official, it won't take long for the people around him to come back and worship him

Facing Jiang Monkey kneeling in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt very unbearable, if he was not the deacon of Jinyiwei and the chief steward of this salt transport, then what status would he have now? Will Jiang Monkey still kneel in front of him like his grandson?

"Jiang Monkey, you get up and go down first~ I'll think about your affairs"

"Yes, my lord~"

After Jiang Monkey left, Ma Xiaoquan immediately sent someone to find Fang Yun and ordered him to spread the news of Jiang Monkey's exchange for money to Jiang Batian.

The next day, Jiang Batian sent Jiang Long to the town secretly, pretending to exchange money for news, and sure enough, as soon as the people in the black money village heard that the accents were all Fujianese, they said a lot Two days ago, a woman came over with ten ingots of silver to exchange money.

Jiang Long was careful and asked what kind of silver ingots they were, and the people from the black money village were not suspicious, and took out a silver ingot that had not yet melted and showed it to Jiang Long.

Jiang Long held the silver ingot in his hand, looked at it carefully, and was secretly surprised in his heart, because he found that this silver ingot had the unique mark of Huang Tianhu's side, that is, this silver ingot was the ticket silver that flowed out of Huang Tianhu.

Jiang Long pretended to be moved, and with tears in his eyes, he begged the shopkeeper of the black money village to give him this silver ingot, and in return, he was willing to exchange it for twenty taels of silver, and the shopkeeper asked the reason, Jiang Long lied and said that when he saw such a silver ingot, he remembered a previous life-saving benefactor.

Of course, the most important reason is that Jiang Long is willing to buy this silver ingot at a high price, anyway, he doesn't lose money, he makes money both horizontally and vertically, and it is a fool not to do such a deal

Jiang Long hurried back to the Cao Gang with the silver ingot, handed the silver ingot to Jiang Batian, and repeated the words of the black money dealer to Jiang Batian.

Jiang Batian weighed the silver ingot in his hand, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he put down the silver ingot and asked, "Jiang Long, so to speak, this silver ingot was changed by Jiang Monkey's wife?" ”

"Well~ The store of the black money village said it himself, there is absolutely no falsehood~"

"Then how did this money come out of the Governor's Mansion?"

Jiang Long guessed: "Brother Deception, Huang Tianhu has not been in the Cao Gang recently, but before he left, he did go to the Governor's Mansion, it is possible that he has colluded with Ma San, and this money is very likely to be put down by Huang Tianhu when he left."

Jiang Batian nodded, he agreed with Jiang Long's inference.

Jiang Long was affirmed by Jiang Batian, and continued: "Huang Tianhu is very insidious, he knows that if he clashes with us head-on, he will not be able to maintain stability, and there may be an accident, so Ma San will take the opportunity to make straw, so he asked Ma San to buy Jiang Monkey, in this way, Ma San thought that Huang Tianhu was submissive to him, but in fact, Brother Batian, Huang Tianhu is likely to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Damn~~" Jiang Batian threw the silver ingot to the ground and scolded, "Jiang Long, lead some people, now go to Jiang Monkey~"

"Brother Deception, slow down~" Jiang Long stopped Jiang Batian and said, "Even if we go now, Jiang Monkey will definitely not admit it, after all, the thing is no longer with him~"

"Hmm~~" Jiang Batian calmed down and asked, "Then what should I do?" It would be nice if the third uncle was here, by the way, why haven't you seen the third uncle recently? ”

Jiang Long said angrily: "The third uncle was invited to the house by Ma San, and the grapevine heard that the third uncle often lives in Ma San's mansion as the chief steward~"

"What?" Jiang Batian was furious when he heard this, "The third uncle actually betrayed me? ”

Jiang Long sighed and said, "Brother Deception, don't worry, we still have a chance now, it depends on whether Brother Deception decides~~"

"Opportunity? What chances? ”

Jiang Long's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said gloomily: "Huang Tianhu is just not here, Brother Batian, the power of his Henan faction is greater than that of our Fujian faction, so Huang Tianhu can have no fear, he even robbed your woman, I think we might as well take advantage of his absence to take advantage of his absence, and take the gang of grandsons of the Henan faction in one fell swoop."

Jiang Batian hesitated a little and did not say anything.

Jiang Long said: "Brother Batian, the situation is very unfavorable to us now, if we don't take action again, even if we don't get rid of Ma Sanduan, I'm afraid we will be gradually eaten away by Huang Tianhu, we have already lost two warehouses, if we don't take action, I'm afraid we will be out of luck."
