【1314】Salt Transport(9)
Summary of the previous chapter: The two factions in Fujian and Henan promised to send the operation flow, but most of them had done tricks and did not see the problem, except for one copy, which seemed to be omitted by the negligence of the person
++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the Cao Gang, in the Fujian faction clerical room, two men, one tall and one short, were gathering together and discussing in a whisper.
The taller man looked surprised: "What, you said that you were careless and lost one of the books?" ”
The shorter face looked guilty: "Oh, didn't I tell you, second brother, you said that we are brothers, you must help me in this matter, if this matter is known by the leader, don't say it's me, it's you, our family, can't escape it~~"
"Hey, you, you, you said you were fine, you have to drink something, go to work in a daze, can you not have an accident? Really, I regret dying too, I shouldn't have asked you to send the book~"
"Hey, don't say anything, second brother, do you think the book will be taken away by that Ma San?"
"How do I know? Let you send it, tell you that you will have those few copies, who knows how many copies you took? By the way, how many books did you take? ”
"I, I don't remember either, anyway, there are more than a dozen copies~"
"Hey, you~ Fortunately, I still have a copy, no, I think it's good to change the cover, I hope the boss doesn't notice it when he looks at it~ Next time you can't drink anymore, it's a mistake!"
"Alas, I know, I must remember not to drink~~"
In Ma Xiaoquan's study, Hua Yue carefully flipped through the problematic book, marked all the unknown places in it with red marks, and after doing these things, Hua Yue handed the book to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan according to the red mark marked by Hua Yue, according to the understanding of the operation of salt transportation in the past few months, he figured it out one by one, and exchanged a few words with Hua Yue from time to time.
Two hours later, the two of them had figured out nearly half of the problem, and the other half had no clue.
Hua Yue poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, I see that most of the funds of Yanyun are unknown, and it is related to these problems that have not been figured out~"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "There is a great possibility, well, we also said before, the person who came to deliver the book, I also investigated~ His name is Niu San, he is a person from the Fujian faction, and his second brother is responsible for the text accounts of the Fujian faction, I think, we start with this Niu San, we should be able to follow the vine and find a way to hold the handle of his second brother, in this way, the accounts of the Fujian faction, I should be able to figure it out~"
"Well, having said that, it's actually very difficult, presumably that Niu San also thought of the fact that the book is here, so I think he must be very vigilant~"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Even so, we can still threaten Niu San with this booklet, Niu San can mistakenly send this book to us, then he must have a weakness, definitely!" ”
Hua Yue nodded: "Okay, then listen to you~"
The next day, Hua Yue helped Ma Xiaoquan dress up in disguise and changed a human skin mask for him.
Ma Xiaoquan, who has changed his appearance, is difficult to detect flaws if he doesn't speak.
Hua Yue asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan said: "If you want to investigate clearly, you must find a way to break into their faction, we can pay attention to the Henan faction for the time being, don't move it yet, the Fujian faction, we must pull it out as soon as possible~"
"Why, at the last banquet, I thought the boss of the Henan faction was a reckless man, he should be easy to get rid of?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Although the Henan faction is easy to get rid of, but they have Wei Zhongxian's support behind them, so they can be removed, but it is difficult to get rid of it, if you want to get rid of the Henan faction, I think that in the end you must use Jinyiwei and the Fujian faction is behind Lu Zhan's support, according to my understanding of Lu Zhan, he is more stingy, as long as there is a problem about interests, he will always show a buckle and shrink In other words, although this Fujian faction is supported by Lu Zhan, it must not be supported much, moreover, the Lu family's hometown is in Nanyang (belonging to Henan), But he chose to support Fujian, presumably there are a lot of changes~"
Hua Yue's beautiful eyes flashed: "Then what do you mean"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Lu Zhan must have pinched some weakness of the Fujian faction, so the two will cooperate, as long as I find the weakness that Lu Zhan pinched, and then use it for my use, this Fujian faction can be uprooted~"
Hua Yue nodded and hummed softly
Ma Xiaoquan sneaked out from behind the bedroom, made a big circle, and delayed outside for half a morning before slowly walking towards the destination.
Recently, the Cao Gang has been recruiting, regardless of faction, as long as you are physically strong, you can get a job.
When Ma Xiaoquan arrived at the recruitment point, he saw that the black pressure in front of him was full of heads.
"Hey~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, and suddenly remembered the extravagant life in Beijing, compared with it here, it is really a heaven and an underground, this Ming Dynasty is crumbling.
Squeezed to the front, Ma Xiaoquan said with a big grin: "I want to work~"
The person in charge of recruiting raised his head and glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is the person?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan said: "My hometown is Fujian, but I grew up in Beijing. ”
"Huh? Where are you from Fujian? ”
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and said a specific location, and the latter grabbed this position and asked several questions, until he was satisfied with the question, he did not continue to ask.
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, in order to blend into the circle of the Fujian faction, Ma Xiaoquan has done his homework, hum, if you want to ask me these few questions, there is no door.
The recruiter glanced at Ma Xiaoquan again, pouted and said, "You don't know Hokkien, what do you mean by recruiting you?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan was a little dissatisfied: "Isn't it possible that those who grew up in other places can't recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?" Don't you all say that the villagers have tears in their eyes when they see the villagers, hum again, the words of a village and a village are not the same~"
"Hey?" The other party grinned, stood up and patted Ma Xiaoquan's shoulder, "Boy, I'll just say this to you, come on, I want you~ Go to the Fujian faction~"
Ma Xiaoquan was overjoyed and blinked his eyes: "Really~ Okay, then I'll go back and clean up~"
"Wait!" The other party's face sank, "Where are you going to clean up?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "It's just under the East Bridge, where is my burden, hehe, I haven't eaten for a day, can I eat first?" ”
"Hmph, really, okay, okay, go, go, go, go back!"
"Okay~"
Ma Xiaoquan ran under the East Bridge, pulled out a shabby bag from under the bridge, opened the baggage, and Ma Xiaoquan changed into a dress that seemed clean, but was actually not clean at all, and there were several patches on the clothes.
On the east bridge, the eyes of the two Fujian factions secretly stared at Ma Xiaoquan's every move, and when they saw Ma Xiaoquan wearing patched clothes, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Since the chief steward (Ma San, actually Ma Xiaoquan) came, the boss has become suspicious, no matter who it is, even if it is an old man who has been in the Fujian faction for a long time, he has to thoroughly investigate his identity and provenance.
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at the bridge out of the corner of his eye, packed up his baggage, put it on his back, and walked on the bridge happily.
Not far away, a peasant woman who set up a stall to sell vegetables watched Ma Xiaoquan leave, and the corners of her mouth were gently raised
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan became a member of the Hokkien faction, but since he did not know the dialect, everyone in the faction called him "Little Beijing".
Ma Xiaoquan works very hard, giving people a very down-to-earth feeling, plus he said that he grew up in Beijing, so in his spare time, he will always tell some jokes about Beijing for everyone to laugh at, and after half a month, he has become familiar with most of the people in the gang.
The Cao Gang does not provide a place to live, only for food, so everyone works during the day, and at night they go back to their respective homes.
There is a kiln nearby, and every time the bachelors of the Cao Gang have nothing to do, they will always go to the kiln together.
Ma Xiaoquan went with everyone, but Ma Xiaoquan didn't dare to compliment the "quality" of the kiln girl, he just looked at it, and then left under the pretext.
But as a bachelor without a "home", after Ma Xiaoquan left, he also found a cheap inn to make do with, and after a long time, the people of the Fujian faction laughed at him for not being able to find his mother-in-law.
Ma Xiaoquan was not convinced, and swore that he made a bet with everyone in the faction, saying that he must spend a few months to get a little widow to live with.
Not to mention, there are really a lot of little widows in this Cao Gang realm, some with children, and some alone.
As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and the bachelors in the Cao gang are strong, with strong male hormones, and they have nowhere to spend their money after making money, and over time, they live with some widows who look at each other, and some even have children.
There are a few people in the Little Widow Team who are particularly smart, and one of them is called "Cold Beauty" by the Cao Gang, who is particularly interesting.
However, although this "cold beauty" is beautiful, she has strong martial arts, and generally no man dares to deliberately approach, because I heard that anyone who approaches a man with bad intentions has been beaten by a cold beauty.
It is said that Leng Meiren used to be the daughter of the dart head of the dart game, but I don't know what happened, my father and the man died, so I ended up alone.
Many people in the Cao Gang, including the leaders of the two major factions, wanted to take her as a concubine, but the little widow said that she would not obey her unless she was in the main house.
At that time, there were many people who didn't believe it, and some people even tried to rob people on the spot, and the little widow simply threatened that if anyone dared to use force, she would commit suicide, so that no one could get it.
