Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan pouted Zhu Youzhen to lead the team to Wei Jinzhong's territory to catch the thief, which made Wei Jinzhong very depressed, but soon, Wei Jinzhong deceived a fief from the Emperor of the Apocalypse with his clever mouth, and Wei Jinzhong also made this fief a circulation place for merchants to come and go, with the purpose of competing with Ma Xiaoquan

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ma's house, in the study.

Ma Xiaoquan's right hand rhythmically tapped on the table, and in front of the table, there were two young men dressed as brocade guards.

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, smiled and asked, "So, this old guy Wei Jinzhong is determined to fight me?" ”

One of the brocade guards said: "Reply to the master, it is true! ”

"Hmm~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "You two are doing very well, I arranged for you to mix into Jinyiwei, it seems that there is no arrangement in vain, um~~ You remember, follow me, not only yourself, including your father's mother, my Ma Xiaoquan will take good care of you!" ”

The two brocade-clothed guards knelt on the ground with a puff: "It's okay to go to the soup for the master!" ”

"Okay, let's go down and continue to monitor Wei Jinzhong's movements!"

"Yes!"

Dongfang Qingxue came to Ma Xiaoquan's side, watched the two brocade guards out of the study, and said slowly: "Ma Xiaoquan, although Wei Jinzhong has not openly competed with you, this is already an indisputable fact, what are you going to do?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "Wei Jinzhong has an advantage that I don't have, and I also have a strength that he doesn't have. ”

Dongfang Qingxue nodded: "Wei Jinzhong's advantage is that his connections are much wider than yours, and your advantage is because of your true identity and your experience in that world, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Qingxue girl, you are so smart!" ”

Dongfang Qingxue blushed and did not speak.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed, and said strictly: "But my advantage is not necessarily an advantage, well~~ The fiefdom has just come to an end, and I have to hurry up to get back the businessmen who were lost a few days ago." However, in the recent period, I have to renovate the gathering place, repair what should be repaired, eliminate what should be eliminated, well~~ make it a good fiefdom. Qingxue, you can help me write a letter to Zhang Jiude about this, and I want to make an appointment to meet him. ”

"Okay, I'll do it!"

That night, Zhang Jiude came to Ma's house to meet and talk to Ma Xiaoquan, and was a little surprised to learn that Ma Xiaoquan was going to renovate the fief.

Zhang Jiude believes that renovation and new construction are actually the same trouble, not to mention the long time, but also very expensive.

Zhang Jiude raised his hidden worries, and Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "Lord Shilang misunderstood me, I said that the renovation is not a major repair, but just to tidy up the things on the façade, well, it happens that the emperor is getting married, I can do it under this guise, so the emperor will definitely be very happy." ”

Zhang Jiude nodded: "I see, then leave this matter to me, Deacon Ma can rest assured, and it will be done before the emperor's wedding." ”

Ma Xiaoquan arched his hand: "Then thank you Lord Shilang, oh yes, the salary, I will pay double the usual amount!" ”

Zhang Jiude raised his eyebrows, nodded and laughed

The next day, Ma Xiaoquan entered the court to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao, and put forward his request to renovate the fiefdom.

Zhu Youxiao was naturally very happy, there was such a loyal minister who was dedicated to him, and Zhu Youxiao immediately approved a special fund to give Ma Xiaoquan to renovate the fief.

Ma Xiaoquan was overjoyed, he originally paid out of his own pocket, but now he counts it, and the money he paid is only one-third, haha, this transaction is worth it, it's too worthwhile

Wei Jinzhong learned that the emperor rewarded Ma Xiaoquan again, and he was quite jealous, he immediately set off to the Yangxin Palace, and wanted to coax the emperor with his old face and clever mouth, but who knew that Zhu Youxiao refused sternly this time, and also punished him with a board because Wei Jinzhong disturbed his study of carpentry.

Fortunately, Wei Jinzhong was powerful in the palace, and the eunuchs who were responsible for beating him were all his people, and after a few symbolic beats, the eunuchs who played the board stopped and lied to the emperor about the results

In late March, only a month before the emperor's wedding, colorful buildings were erected in the city of Beijing, attracting people from surrounding states and counties to come in and watch.

Wei Jinzhong has always been responsible for the security of the capital, but Wei Jinzhong has been dissatisfied since the last time he was punished by the emperor, in his opinion, this qiē is caused by Ma Xiaoquan, for which the emperor's wedding is approaching, Wei Jinzhong said to the emperor, asking Ma Xiaoquan to be responsible for the security of the capital.

The job of guarding the capital is not easy to do, not only do they not rest, but they also have to work overtime every day.

On this day, Ma Xiaoquan led a few henchmen and guards in civilian clothes to patrol the capital.

After half a day, the group was dry and hungry.

happened to pass by the Yuhe Bridge, and some of his subordinates were eating something in the small shop next to the Yuhe Bridge, and Ma Xiaoquan agreed.

Entering the small shop, several people found a quiet corner to sit down, asked for a table of good dishes, served two pots of soju, and set them down to drink.

While eating and drinking, there was a sudden noise in a private room next door.

Ma Xiaoquan frowned, and ordered one of his subordinates: "Go over and listen secretly, what's the situation~"

"Yes~" The subordinate nodded, got up and walked to the door of the private room, and listened quietly.

After a while, his subordinates came back and whispered: "Boss, you really guessed it, there is indeed a situation. ”

"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows, glanced at a few of his subordinates, and motioned to go up and get someone.

The subordinates were in an instant spirit, as long as the work was done well, the leader would definitely have a reward.

Ma Xiaoquan's popularity in Jinyiwei is very high, firstly, he is generous, never wronged his subordinates, and he goes out on errands with him to eat and drink spicy, and secondly, if the task is completed well, Ma Xiaoquan also takes out his own money to reward his subordinates.

A few brocade guards walked to the door of the private room and were about to push the door, when the door suddenly creaked open, and three people came out of the door.

"Stop?" A brocade guard stretched out his hand to stop the three of them.

The three of them glanced at each other, stopped, and a man spoke in the local dialect of Beijing: "What are the masters?" ”

A brocade guard lifted it slightly, revealing the embroidered spring knife on his waist.

"Embroidered spring knife? Jin Yiwei? The three of them were stunned, looked at each other, and then shouted loudly, and ran away.

The brocade guards were a little caught off guard by the sudden outburst of the three people, but fortunately, they were usually well-trained, and after a little panic, they took all three of them.
