[562] Buying a house
Summary of the previous chapter: While Ma Xiao and Ma Zheng brothers are methodically implementing the "gentleness" plan, Ma Xiaoquan has also completed his recuperation from his master Huang Shigong
++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, stretched his waist with a smile, and said, "Master, that's what I said, hehe, your old man has a lot of good things for me these days!" ”
Huang Shigong glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and shook his head helplessly, although this apprentice, although he seems to be cynical and naughty, he is actually honest and unpretentious in his heart, and it is not much more than the Zhang Zifang that he received hundreds of years ago.
"Okay, Quan'er, after going down the mountain this time, you have to pay attention, the dragon er who is now guarding the Lu family in Nanyang County is a ruthless character, this person is not easy to deal with!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "Since Master has calculated it, it is better for Master to help me, Master, I heard you say before that the master of the guy named Long Er was killed by you, Wow Master, your old man is too powerful, so Master came out of the mountain, let alone a dragon er, it is a group of dragon two, and you must not wash it up and wait for Master you to kill it~"
"Smack~~" Huang Shigong couldn't help it, and slapped Ma Xiaoquan fiercely, hitting Ma Xiaoquan on the back of the head impartially.
"Bastard thing, the master who killed the dragon two in the first place, it was because his master killed innocent people, and the teacher was doing the right thing for heaven."
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed the back of his head and said: "Long Er also killed someone, and Master, I also know that they have been looking for a young woman for Lu Xian, and what else do they want~~ Female, I don't know what to do." ”
"Huh?" Huang Shigong raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and said, "Looking for a young virgin~~~ woman?" Hiss~~~ Could it be that Lu Xian's kid stole the thing that Yuan put on? ”
Ma Xiaoquan asked, "Master, did Lu steal Uncle Zuo's things first?" ”
Huang Shigong frowned and said: "Yuan Fang has studied the art of the house for many years, and accidentally got an ancient book, which has many examples of people being the Ding Furnace, and the most terrible of them is to use the blood of a virgin ~~ woman, and the body of a virgin ~ woman to collect yin and supplement yang."
"Huh? Got such an amazing book? ”
Huang Shigong glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and said in his heart, what kind of expression do you stinky boy have, but he still said slowly on his face: "But there is, I have read this book and Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang just used this book as an example to learn from, I didn't care because of the different directions of study, I just heard Yuan Fang say that when he first accepted Lu Xian as an apprentice, he had inadvertently omitted that book, and then Yuan Fang was busy with other things, so he forgot about it, but I just listened to Yuan Fang and said that the book was gone."
Ma Xiaoquan swallowed his saliva and said in his heart: Good guy, now it's the end of the Han Dynasty, and the book called an ancient book by the master, the earliest one must be the Qin Dynasty, right?
"Master? Is the book paper? Or is it bamboo? ”
Huang Shigong shook his head: "Made of human skin." ”
"Human skin?" Ma Xiaoquan was taken aback.
How many human skin masks do you have here, human skin books? Ma Xiaoquan had only heard Mrs. Hua Yuexin mention it, but he had never really seen it.
Huang Shigong waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, if Lu Xian does take what Yuan put on, then he will personally take action for the teacher, but Long Er, Quan'er, you have to solve it yourself." ”
When Huang Shigong said this, his expression was slightly heavy. In the past few months with Master, anything that makes Master have a heavy expression is not a simple thing.
However, since the master said it, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't refute it anymore, so he could only nod and agree.
"Master, I don't think you have a way down this mountain? I'm going to go down the mountain, how do I get down? ”
Huang Shigong smiled, picked up the dust and shook it twice in front of Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes, and then fainted
When Ma Xiaoquan woke up, he found that he had gone down the mountain, and he was still in the same position as when he was taken away by Zuo Ci.
What surprised Ma Xiaoquan even more was that the horse he rode a few months ago was stopping in front of him sturdy at the moment, looking at him obediently, as for Master Huang Shigong, Ma Xiaoquan didn't see it......
"I'm kao~~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head incredulously, took out the human skin mask from his arms and pasted it, stepped on the horse, and ran towards Nanyang County
disappeared for a few months, Nanyang County is still the same Nanyang County, and the Lu family is still the same Lu family.
Due to Ma Xiaoquan's sudden disappearance, the shadow guards stationed at the Lu family changed from a state of full alert at the beginning to a partial alert.
In fact, this can't be blamed on these shadow guards, after all, most of them have been transferred, and now in the Lu family, there are only about 20 people when the number of shadow guards is full, for such a huge courtyard, 20 or so people are too few.
"Boss~~" A shadow guard stepped forward and respectfully whispered a few words in Ryuuji's ear.
"Huh?" After listening to the report of his subordinates, Long Er's eyebrows instantly twisted into Chuanzi, "Didn't Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang already take most of the people to join their masters?" How could such a mess come about? ”
The subordinates were also quite helpless and said: "Boss, Ma Xiao of the Ma family is really cunning, I don't know where I got the news, I sent someone to ambush Lu Wang, fortunately, the brothers are strong in martial arts, and there are no dead people, but they are injured a lot, and now the brothers are at the master's place, and they have not yet recovered."
"Hmm~~~" Ryuuji dragged his chin and thought for a moment, "I know about this, but you said that there are other things happening in the Ma family?" ”
The subordinate nodded and said: "Yes, the boss, the former master led people to attack the Ma family, if it weren't for Cao Pi's people, the master was likely to succeed in one blow, but because Ma Xiao borrowed a lot of soldiers from Cao Pi, the master failed to succeed but now it's okay, I heard that Cao Pi and Ma Xiao fell out, and even the soldiers were taken back, and the current Ma family is also facing the same shortage of people as us, hehe"
Ryuji nodded: "Does the master know about this?" ”
"Don't worry, boss, this is what the master asked me to tell you."
"What's the owner's doing?"
The subordinate shook his head and said uncertainly: "I don't know, but the subordinates feel that the master should be waiting for an opportunity, although the Ma family was taken away by Cao Pi, but there is still some background." ”
"What about Mao Gang, what's going on?"
"Not for the time being, when Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang went out to run errands a few months ago, I met a man, coincidentally, that man is also called Mao Gang."
"Huh? Mao Gang? These two people don't have anything to do with each other, right? ”
The subordinate shook his head and said, "Probably not." ”
"Well~~ Whether there is or not, if you meet it again, give me a good eye on it, now is a very moment, we must guard the Lu family's mansion with peace of mind, there can be no difference!"
"Yes!"
Ma Xiaoquan returned to Nanyang County, first found an inn and had a good meal, and then went to the most famous local cloth shop to change his "gorgeous" head.
Because there were no silver tickets in circulation at the end of the Han Dynasty, when they came to Nanyang County, Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Zheng and his son brought a lot of money.
Later, Ma Zheng left halfway because he wanted to report to his brother Ma Xiao, and squatting in Nanyang County became Ma Xiaoquan's task alone.
Fortunately, there is money, so Ma Xiaoquan is not worried about his livelihood.
After solving the "food and clothing problem", Ma Xiaoquan immediately went to the Lu family's mansion.
In order to observe the movements of the Lu family's mansion, Ma Xiaoquan planned to buy a private house not far from the Lu family's mansion.
In view of his current fake identity, Ma Xiaoquan did not deliberately hide the matter of buying a private house, but did it with great fanfare.
Nanyang County was Cao Cao's sphere of influence, and the county guard at that time was also Cao Cao's cousin who could not be far away.
Although the relationship is far away, this county guard is rigorous. Ma Xiaoquan thought that he could do something with some money, but because of the crime of bribing officials, he first squatted in prison for two days, and only after he came out did he buy the private house.
Although buying and selling real estate in ancient times is not as complicated as in modern society, it also has to go through some necessary procedures, and Nanyang County is not cheap because of its good location.
After paying the price of 100 gold, Ma Xiaoquan finally took the house smoothly. [Let me explain, the gold of the Han Dynasty is mainly copper, and the real use of gold basically starts at the end of the Ming Dynasty] Ma Xiaoquan's buying action attracted the attention of Long Er, and on the day of moving in, Long Er sent a shadow guard to take a look, and it just so happened that this shadow guard was the shadow guard that Ma Xiaoquan met at the beginning.
Ma Xiaoquan lied to the other party that he was from Yanzhou, and because he killed someone, he temporarily avoided outside, and after a few years, he would go back after the limelight.
After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's description, Ying Wei didn't doubt it much, in his eyes, a rich boy who dared to kill people was worth continuing to understand.
"How long will Brother Shi Ken stay in Nanyang?" [Ma Xiaoquan's name is surnamed Mao, the word Shiken, doesn't it sound a bit like] Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: "Hey, Yanzhou is one of Cao Cao's bases, my father used to be a scholar, but he has never been treated by Cao Cao, although my family has money, but after all, I killed someone."
Ying Wei was secretly happy when he heard this, such a person, firstly, he was rich, and secondly, he was still a child of the scholar clan who did not have a good relationship with the Cao family, well, just right, go back and report to the chief, and see if there is any dangerous work for this guy to do, so that even if he dies, he can shirk responsibility, saying that this person is a murderer from Yanzhou who fled to Nanyang County, and was punished by us on the spot
