【1347】The Strategy of the Two Tigers (17)
Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan sent someone to kidnap Uncle Jiang
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The meticulous work sent by Ma Xiaoquan secretly followed Uncle Jiang and monitored his every move.
The praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and the people sent by Jiang Batian did not notice the identity of Ma Xiaoquan's dispatch, on the contrary, the two greeted each other amicably after they met.
It's just that Ma Xiaoquan sent two fine works, and Jiang Batian only sent one person to stare at his third uncle.
With a little trick, the two of them played Jiang Batian's subordinates in a daze, and when the other party reacted, Jiang Sanshu also lost it.
"Hey, come on, I've been following for a long time today, presumably Uncle Jiang can't go anywhere, it just so happens that I have an urgent need to urinate, let's go to the toilet first~"
Seeing Jiang Batian's subordinates leave, the two fine works glanced at each other.
At this time, Uncle Jiang happened to walk to a corner where there was no one, and the two of them went up one after the other, and before he could react, a hand knife slashed at the back of Uncle Jiang's neck, and the other party's eyes turned white and he fainted
After a stick of incense, Uncle Jiang slowly woke up, and he found that he was locked in a claustrophobic room, but his hands and feet were not tied.
Third Uncle Jiang stood up and looked around, searching carefully, trying to find a place to escape.
"Hehe, Third Uncle Jiang, don't bother much, this is the basement of the chief steward's mansion~~~" Ma Xiaoquan suddenly appeared and said with a smile.
When Uncle Jiang saw Ma Xiaoquan, he was stunned: "Ma San, is it you?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, I'm sorry, I thought about it for a long time, but I still thought of this way to find Uncle Jiang~ Well, nothing else, I just want to ask Uncle Jiang to live here for a while~ Oh, don't worry, I won't do anything to you, but your freedom will not be there for the time being."
"Ma San, you~~~ Did I figure it out, it turned out to be you, all the troublemakers, it's you, why do you do this?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either: "This salt transport originally belonged to the imperial court, and I was sent by the imperial court, but what about it, the two factions in Henan and Fujian have backers behind them, and they are against me everywhere Uncle Jiang, I, the chief manager, deserve to be aggrieved, do you understand?" ”
Third Uncle Jiang was silent.
"Oh yes, I heard that you don't do anything in the Fujian faction, except for walking around every day, you just occasionally go out to play with women, well, Jiang Batian doesn't know much about this, but I know it very well?"
"Ma San, don't talk nonsense, I'm this old"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "This age? You're just over fifty, I'm okay to look at, well, in that case, you just keep it, I'll find you two women to serve you in Ming'er~"
After that, Ma Xiaoquan turned around and left.
Uncle Jiang San stopped Ma Xiaoquan and pleaded: "Ma San, oh no, the manager is an adult, please, let me go back, I promise, don't say anything, really, don't say anything~"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I should have killed you, because only the dead will say nothing, but I have no grievances with you, there is no reason to kill you, Uncle Jiang, if I can let you go, it has already proved that I am extraordinarily kind to you, so don't say anything more, okay?" ”
Third Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then I will be cheeky and ask the chief steward again, if the adult takes back this salt luck, I hope that the adult can let go of the tyranny, the nature of others is not bad, but over the years, it has changed."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and did not speak
Walking out of the basement, Ma Xiaoquan saw Huayue.
"You heard what I said to Uncle Jiang just now, right?" Ma Xiaoquan asked Hua Yue.
"Hmm~ Ma Xiaoquan, will you kill Jiang Batian?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and shook his head: "I don't know, if Jiang Batian obediently restrains his hands, maybe I will consider it, but if he resists desperately"
Hua Yue sighed and shook his head: "I also think that Uncle Jiang's words are reasonable, can you not kill Jiang Batian, just leave him alive~"
"Let me think about it more~~"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't plan to let go of Jiang Batian, after all, he was Lu Zhan's person, although he was not Lu Zhan's direct cronies, but he could be tied to Lu Zhan, it must not be much better, besides, people will change, Jiang Sanshu kept saying that Jiang Batian's nature was not bad, it was all a few years ago, and this kind of person would become a scourge if he stayed, rather than this, it was better to think about it, otherwise, he might unite with Huang Tianhu to deal with him
"Well~~ The plan has not been fully implemented, and it is time to implement it thoroughly." Ma Xiaoquan said to himself.
Back in the study, Ma Xiaoquan called Fang Yun and ordered him to spread rumors in the Cao Gang, saying that Third Uncle Jiang came to the chief steward's mansion alone, and he didn't know what to say to the chief steward Ma Sansan, so he didn't see Third Uncle Jiang come out since then.
Fang Yun took the order and left.
On the other hand, Ma Xiaoquan sent someone to bring a message to Huang Tianhu, telling him that Jiang Batian had promised to smooth himself, and he was waiting for Huang Tianhu to succumb.
After Huang Tianhu received Ma Xiaoquan's message, he was furious, although he and Jiang Batian have been negotiating these days, there has been no major friction between the two sides.
Huang Tianhu originally thought that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, but he didn't expect Jiang Batian to take refuge in Ma San during the interval of negotiations, how could this be reasonable, how could it be reasonable?
Thinking of this, Huang Tianhu was furious.
At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to Jiang Batian, and even two beautiful women, of course Jiang Batian couldn't accept it, but in the evening, Jiang Batian pondered in the study, he thought about it, if he continued to stay in the Cao Gang, I am afraid he would not be able to fight Huang Tianhu, and now the chief steward Ma San is very mysterious and does not know what premeditation is being carried out, in case people are really serious, this arm can't twist the thigh, rather than this, it is better to find a way to make a windfall, and then lead the clansmen to withdraw from the Cao Gang and find another way to make a living.
Jiang Batian told the clansmen about this idea, and after discussing it, the clansmen agreed that this matter was feasible, so Jiang Batian sent someone to secretly give Ma Xiaoquan feedback, saying that he was willing to accept those gold and silver treasures, as well as the two beauties
In the study of the chief manager's mansion, Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head, and in front of him, Fang Yun stood respectfully.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't raise his head, he just hummed and asked: "Jiang Batian is a little interesting, he doesn't accept it openly and secretly, well, this obviously wants to slip away, Fang Yun, let me ask you, do you want to be the boss of the Cao Gang?" ”
Fang Yun was flattered and almost blurted out his thoughts, but reason told him that this might be Lord Ma testing him.
Fang Yun knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "Adult, the little one just wants to follow the adult and make cattle and horses for the adult."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, Fang Yun is a thief, well, but it's good that he has this idea, at least for now, such a person is worth using.
"Okay~" Ma Xiaoquan pretended to say, "Fang Yun, I know your loyalty, but I'll leave here one day, but I don't want this salt transportation business to fall into the hands of others, what about you, you have a certain brain, I believe that after you take over, you will take care of this place very well, but what, this is a money-making business, one day you will be the head of this place, I hope you don't forget your roots, otherwise, when will Jinyiwei come, I can't say it, do you understand?" ”
Fang Yun nodded hurriedly, not to say anything else, just talking about Jin Yiwei, it already made him very frightened, as a person who escaped from Jin Yiwei, Fang Yun was very aware of Jin Yiwei's ruthless methods.
"Okay, you go down~ Remember, do something for me, I won't treat you badly, well, your sister, I won't treat her badly~"
"Thank you, my lord, the little one will retire~~"
After Fang Yun left, Hua Yue flashed out from behind the screen, walked up to Ma Xiaoquan, and asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, Fang Yun can be reused, but his sister, do you really plan to consume, his sister has been here with you for some time, you basically don't see it much, the little girl has been wronged, but she will tell her brother"
"Then what should I do, I don't have any feelings for his sister, you can't force me to see him, right?"
Hua Yue smiled: "I know, but the little girl is wholeheartedly devoted to you, Ma Xiaoquan, no matter what, you can't live up to her heart, I think so, you might as well accept her as a personal maid, well, when our ladies are away, you can too"
"What do you say?" Ma Xiaoquan straightened his face, "Even if I, Ma Xiaoquan, am a beast, I can't be so kind to a little girl?" Yue'er, I really can't believe that this is coming from your mouth, you are both women, if it were you, what would you do? What would you do? ”
Hua Yue was stunned.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Forget it, I'll go and see it, no matter what, I have to make it clear to others~~"
Fang Yun's sister was settled in the west wing of the chief manager's mansion by Ma Xiaoquan, and since she came to the chief manager's mansion, Fang Yun's sister has rarely been able to see Ma Xiaoquan.
There were many times when she wanted to go to the study, but each time she was stopped by the guards.
Fang Yun's sister was very aggrieved, she didn't know what she had done wrong, why did the chief steward say the same thing as her brother, why didn't she want to see her?
Sitting alone at the table, the little girl sobbed aggrievedly.
"Bang bang bang~~" The door suddenly rang.
The little girl flattened her mouth, raised her head and asked, "Who?" ”
"Uh, it's me, Ma San~"
