Summary of the previous chapter: Huang Tianhu bribed Ma Xiaoquan to do things for him, and Ma Xiaoquan agreed on the surface

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

In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan slipped back to the chief steward's mansion and talked to Hua Yue about Huang Tianhu's intention to buy him.

Hua Yuexiu frowned slightly after listening to Ma Xiaoquan's retelling, and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, if I were you, I would also agree to Huang Tianhu's request for bribery." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "So I didn't refuse, but I helped Huang Tianhu do things, that is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Jiang Batian, if Jiang Batian finds me, then I will die a miserable death, similarly, if Huang Tianhu feels that I have no use value, he will get rid of me like throwing away something he doesn't need, Yue'er, what do you say I should do?" ”

Hua Yue pondered for a moment and suggested, "I think you should tell Jiang Batian about Huang Tianhu's bribery of you. ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I think so too, but it's already evening, if I go now, Jiang Batian will definitely say that I am slow and have ideas to play tricks."

Hua Yue smiled: "You can lie, you just say, you are resting, Huang Tianhu suddenly sent someone to bribe you, well, I will inform Fang Yun later, let him spread a gossip from Jiang Batian of the Fujian faction, just say that the people from the Henan faction came to you in the evening, I don't know what I did"

Ma Xiaoquan praised while listening: "Or Yue'er has a way, hehe"

Hua Yueqiao blushed and urged Ma Xiaoquan: "Okay, don't delay, let's go see Jiang Batian now." ”

"Good~"

Cao Gang, in the main hall of the Fujian faction.

Jiang Batian weighed a ten taels of silver in his hand, and in front of him, Hu Hansan, who Ma Xiaoquan was pretending, was waiting respectfully, without saying a word.

Jiang Batian squinted his eyes, lightly buckled the official silver in his hand, and asked, "Han San, in this way, is Huang Tianhu planning to give you money and let you turn against me?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, pretending to be respectful: "Yes, boss, then Huang Tianhu doesn't want to think about it, I'm from Fujian, how can I betray my fellow villagers, it's ridiculous."

Jiang Batian was very satisfied with Ma Xiaoquan's attitude, not long before that, he had just received a message from Fang Yun that the people from Henan had gone to find Hu Hansan (Ma Xiaoquan) after getting off work in the evening, so Huang Tianhu was indeed bribing Hu Hansan.

Jiang Batian nodded with satisfaction: "Your reaction speed is very fast, which shows that you are indeed from my Fujian faction~"

Ma Xiaoquan arched his hand and said: "Boss, don't say anything else, as long as you can give me more food~ It's nothing, I'll go~"

"Slow down~" Jiang Batian stopped Ma Xiaoquan, "You just leave like this, then Huang Tianhu will send someone to ask you again, how do you answer?" ”

"Oops, this" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, "I haven't thought about this, just disagree." ”

"Idiot~" Jiang Batian scolded with a smile, "You accepted other people's money, but you didn't agree, do you say that people can spare you?" ”

"Oh, that head, or I'll return ten taels of silver to Huang Tianhu, won't it~"

Jiang Batian smiled secretly in his heart: This Hu Hansan is really a stunned young man, he took other people's money for a night, and then retreated, who can he give it to?

"Okay, what about the silver, you can take the delicious food and drink, but on the surface, you must promise Huang Tianhu"

Ma Xiaoquan was embarrassed: "Boss, then Huang Tianhu still asked me to steal our account book, and I can't read or write."

Jiang Batian smiled: "This is easy to do, doesn't he want an account book, I'll give you a copy, you just give it to him~"

"Huh? How can that be done, chief, isn't that the Yellow Sky Tiger?"

Jiang Batian smiled: "Of course I have done something with this account book, um, and you, Hu Hansan, since you pretended to defect, you have to find a way to get close to Huang Tianhu, and strive to steal a few account books from him for me, do you understand?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and arched his hand: "Obey~"

"Okay, let's go down~" Jiang Batian threw the ten taels of official silver in his hand to Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan took the official silver and bowed back

The next day, Jiang Batian sent someone to hand over Ma Xiaoquan an account book, and the content of the account book was naturally fake, but in view of the superb skills of being a dummy, ordinary people could not see any way.

Ma Xiaoquan took the account book and asked, "Didn't the boss say two days, why is it so fast?" ”

The person who gave him the ledger didn't make a sound, just made a gesture that you should do it as soon as possible, and left in a hurry.

Ma Xiaoquan saved up the account book, found a place where no one was, and secretly looked at it, and after making sure that there was nothing unfavorable to him, he put the account book away.

If this kind of thing is done too quickly, it will arouse Huang Tianhu's suspicions, so it has to be delayed for a few days, making Huang Tianhu think that this matter is very difficult to do, of course, Jiang Batian's side can't let him see it, he has to hide if he can.

Three days later, Ma Xiaoquan sent the account book given to him by Jiang Batian to Huang Tianhu.

Huang Tianhu looked at the account book, nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Han San, you did a very good job, but this account book doesn't seem to have any very important running water written in it?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "Master Hu, I can't read either, so I can't read either, or Master Tiger will tell me what are the most important in the account book?" ”

Huang Tianhu laughed, shook his head and said, "Teach you?" Then I have to teach you to read, it's too long, so let's be bold, find a way to do a big vote, and steal all the account books of Jiang Batian to me, I will be rewarded~"

Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "Master Tiger, it's impossible to steal them all, right?" It's too difficult to do, and you know that there are several people in charge of the ledger~"

"This is easy to do, aren't you very familiar with Niu San, you give this letter to Niu San, and after he reads it, he will help you~" Huang Tianhu said, throwing a letter to Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan deliberately turned the envelope upside down and nodded: "Okay, I'll go~"

Niu Sanjia.

"My sister, she's unexpectedly" Niu San was so angry that he tore the letter to shreds.

"Third Brother Niu, what's wrong with you?" Ma Xiaoquan knew what Niu San was angry about, because the content of the letter was the news that Niu San's sister was killed by Jiang Batian.

Niu San gritted his teeth and said, "Han San, Huang Tianhu gave you this letter, did you say anything?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan didn't hide it, and said: "Third Brother Niu, I actually pretended to help Huang Tianhu do things on the orders of the leader (Jiang Batian), Huang Tianhu asked me to steal the account book of the head for him, I sent a copy before, Huang Tianhu said there was nothing to see."

Niu San snorted coldly: "What a Jiang Batian, I spent you to deal with Huang Tianhu, hum, he gave you the fake account book, then Niu San Brother gave you the real ~"

"Really? Third Brother Niu, what are you doing, you don't want to betray the leader, right? ”

"Betrayal?" Niu San's eyes were red, "Han San, you wait for me for an hour, and after an hour, I will give you an answer~"

"Good~"

An hour later, Niu San found Ma Xiaoquan and secretly stuffed him with two account books.

"Shhh

Ma Xiaoquan was surprised: "Third Brother Niu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Niu San said: "Jiang Batian killed my sister and threw her body in the wild, I just found my sister's body with my second brother, poor her has been eaten by wild wolves and there is nothing left, if I don't recognize her clothes, I won't let Jiang Batian go, you take these two account books and give them to Huang Tianhu, after he sees it, he understands everything~"

Ma Xiaoquan sighed and stuffed the ledger into his arms.

At night, Ma Xiaoquan sneaked back to the chief steward's mansion and carefully read the two account books given by Niu San.

Compared with what Jiang Batian gave before, these two account books are not only much more detailed in content, but also clearly marked many problematic flows.

Ma Xiaoquan detained one of them and handed it to Hua Yue, and he kept the other one and planned to hand it over to Huang Tianhu tomorrow.

Hua Yue proposed: Don't hand over the other one to Huang Tianhu, because these two account books are very useful, and you should leave them to study carefully and find that Jiang Batian's side is tired.

Ma Xiaoquan objected, thinking that if they were all detained, they would not be able to gain Huang Tianhu's trust, and at the moment Huang Tianhu might still be suspicious, if he could successfully hand him over an account book, Huang Tianhu might be able to trust himself more.

Hua Yue smiled and objected: Huang Tianhu and Jiang Batian have a strong clan concept, and the people they identify are generally from the same place as themselves, that is to say, no matter what Ma Xiaoquan does, it is impossible to get their complete trust.

Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, thinking that Hua Yue was reasonable.

"So," Hua Ye concluded, "It doesn't matter if the clan has a strong concept, I'm afraid of cronyism, so even if it is big, it will perish As a counterexample, my Hua family and our family have been absorbing outstanding talents from outside for more than 1,500 years, regardless of whether his surname is Hua or not, we have established a good relationship with him, of course, to envelop a person, sometimes marriage is also essential, so we have survived for a long time."

Ma Xiaoquan sighed at Huayue's overall view: "You are right, the Ma family has been adhering to this practice since I was established in the late Han Dynasty, so although it is not as good as before, it is not easy to survive in this troubled world."
