Summary of the previous chapter: After solving the misunderstanding with Huang Zhenyi, Ma Xiaoquan was also a little relieved, but what Ma Xiaoquan didn't expect was that in this short period of time, Huang Zhenyi had already thrown himself into Cao Cao's arms, and he was lustful Cao Cao, and he really lived up to his reputation

In May of the nineteenth year of Emperor Jian'an of the +++++++++++++++++++++++ Han Dynasty, the news of Ma Chao's attack finally reached Cao Cao's ears.

Along with the news of Ma Chao's attack, there was also the news that Ma Chao was defeated by Xiahou Yuan.

The main reason for such a concentrated transmission of news is that Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan are too far apart, and it is also the result of Xiahou Yuan's first cut and then play. Of course, Cao Cao didn't care much about this matter, after all, Xiahou Yuan was also guarding the western region for him, as the so-called employment of people is not suspicious, Xiahou Yuan has been loyal since he followed Cao Cao to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he has never complained, and Cao Cao has no reason to doubt this cousin.

Half a month later, Chang'an came to the military report again, saying that after defeating Ma Chao, General Xiahou wanted to continue the campaign and strive to destroy Han Sui's forces, but due to the abruptness of the last time, Xiahou Yuan admitted his mistake in a letter to the lord Cao Cao this time, and at the same time implored the lord to give strategic deployment and affirmation on the matter of conquering Han Sui.

After receiving this news, Cao Cao immediately convened an emergency meeting to quickly make strategic arrangements, and conveyed his strategic intentions the next day.

Xiahou Yuan received the letter from the lord, unfolded it and read it carefully, and felt that the lord Cao Cao had a good strategy, and then according to Cao Cao's strategic intentions, coupled with the current actual situation, he began to make an intensive deployment

At the same time, a small storm was also set off in the Ma family compound in Yecheng.

After returning from the last meeting with Cao Cao, the head of the family, Ma Xiaoquan, immediately conducted a thorough inventory of all the people and affairs in the family.

From every family member, descendant, and even the chickens and ducks raised at home, Ma Xiaoquan made detailed inquiries.

In terms of economy, Ma Xiaoquan completely tried the "number one" actual policy, and ordered his wife Hua Yuexin and apprentice Mao Gang to take out all the account books, and Ma Xiaoquan began to check them one by one.

This move made the whole family panic, of course, in fact, there are only a few people who are panicked.

For example, Mao Gang.

Mao Gang never thought that Master Ma Xiaoquan, who had never managed the family affairs very well, seemed to be a different person after returning from Cao Cao's house, and his attitude towards not only himself, but also everyone in the family was much stricter.

Mao Gang lived in the Ma family's compound and secretly took away a lot of treasures from Ma Xiaoquan, and in order to hide people's eyes, Mao Gang transferred these treasures to Yuyang early.

Ma Xiaoquan also has a mansion in Yuyang, and the scale of the Yuyang mansion is much larger than the current Ma family compound in Yecheng. Ma Xiaoquan's original intention was to move his family to Yuyang after returning to Yecheng, but due to the existence of Lu Xian's unstable factor, Ma Xiaoquan temporarily put this idea on hold.

Mao Gang is very smart and knows that the most dangerous place is also the safest place, since the master will not move for the time being, he will not do anything to transport all the treasures he has looted to the Yuyang mansion.

Ma Xiaoquan really doesn't know about this qiē

Because Ma Xiaoquan is not in Yuyang, he can't find out from the accounts, but Ma Xiaoquan doesn't know that there is a person who just went to Yuyang

Yuyang County, the Ma family's mansion.

A not-so-strong boy squatted on a low wall of the mansion, carefully observing the layout of the mansion. Ever since he came here, he's loved it so much.

My father had said that one day the family would move here, and now that I think about it, my father's decision was wise.

The boy exhaled and jumped off the low wall, under which was a small patch of grass, unmowed but growing well.

The young man put his hands on the back of his head, lay on the grass, looked at the blue sky, and muttered, "It's been a long time since I came out."

As soon as he finished exclaiming, there was a sound of the door lock opening at the gate.

The boy got up alertly, and then quickly jumped into a dry well not far from him.

The dry well is not deep, about 8 feet more, the boy estimated it, such a distance is easy to climb up, besides, out of the past two years, he also carried a rope hook with him.

As soon as the boy jumped into the dry well, the door of the mansion was opened.

"Hurry up~~Hurry up~~"

There was a sound of shredded footsteps, accompanied by the occasional crash of metal.

"Tap~~ What the fuck are you guys doing, the master has ordered, move smaller!"

The boy's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the voice above.

In his impression, this mansion belonged to his own family, and besides, the "master" in the mouth of those people on the dry well made the young man feel a little strange.

"No, I'm going to see," the boy said to himself.

As soon as the words fell, a deep man's voice suddenly came from the dry well: "Someone~~"

Karei immediately remembered the sound of his sword drawn.

The boy was startled, and quickly pressed his body against the inner wall of the dry well, and then held his breath.

The structure of the dry well is gourd-shaped, that is, the mouth is small and the abdomen is large, and the boy sticks his body close to the inner wall of the dry well, and when he looks down from above, he can't see anything on the inner wall at all.

At this moment, several pairs of eyes came to the mouth of the dry well, looked down, and then two fire folds were thrown down from it.

The boy's heart tightened suddenly.

Although the boy is confident that he will not be discovered, if someone jumps down from above to search, he is afraid that he will be discovered.

The young man swallowed softly, and at this moment, he had been holding his breath for a while.

At this moment, a relatively shrill male voice suddenly came from the well: "Who is anyone, you spent the night with the little lady in the drunken spring building last night, and you didn't sleep, right?" ”

"Fuck you! When has Lao Tzu been all night? ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, do serious things, the master has instructed that this place can't stay for a long time for the time being, or it's not good to let Cao Cao's people know."

After a stick of incense, there was no movement outside the well.

The young man did not jump out of the dry well at the first time, he concluded that those people just now might be playing sloppy, in case he went out, those people were ambushed, wouldn't he become a turtle in an urn?

The young man's judgment was very accurate, and after another stick of incense time, a voice came from Inoue: "Damn, there is really no one, it seems that Lao Tzu really didn't sleep well yesterday~~hum~~~"

"Look, look, I'll just say, it's you who didn't sleep well, let's go~~"

In the middle of the night, the boy quietly crawled out of the dry well, looked around quickly, and the boy quickly hid in a shadow.

"Can't let Cao Cao know?" The young man whispered to himself, "Could it be that my father still has a secret that Cao Cao doesn't know?" ”

With a stomach full of doubts, the young man quietly slipped into a side room.

Since there are no people living in the mansion yet, although the layout is basically in place, there is no popularity, and it always feels very desolate.

The boy tiptoed to the end of the side room, stretched out his hands and touched it carefully.

After a few touches, the door of the side room was suddenly opened.

The boy was startled, and quickly tiptoed back a few steps, retreating into a shadow in the side room.

The man who opened the door couldn't see clearly, but by the moonlight, which was not too bright, the boy could see that he was tall.

The boy was nervous, but at the moment he was cornered, as long as the tall figure lit the fire fold and took a few more steps, he would definitely be exposed.

Sure enough, the tall figure felt out the fire fold and was about to light it, but at this moment, a low male voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Niu Shan, what are you doing here?"

The tall figure snorted, and quickly extinguished the fire that had just been a little spark.

"Hey hey Mr. Ding, hey hey"

"I ask you, what are you doing here?"

"Mr. Ding, I'm a little tired"

"Tired? What did the master say, leave as soon as you're done, why do you want to sleep here? ”

"No, no, Mr. Ding, how dare I?"

"Okay, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Cao Cao's left-behind troops will come to inspect every two days, I'm afraid they will have to come during the day tomorrow, pack up and leave immediately."

"Yes!"

There was a "bang", and the door was closed from the outside.

The young man's body softened the moment the door closed, and it took a long time to regain his strength.

"Mr. Ding?" The young man frowned slightly, "Why does the voice sound so much like Uncle Ding Yi?" ”

The more I thought about it, the more strange it felt, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and in the end, the boy decided to stay here for a few days and investigate it properly

A few days later, when the boy entered the side room again, he had already figured out a lot of secrets.

"Mao Gang Dark Ding Yi" The young man muttered softly, "It turns out that you did such a rebellious thing behind your father's back"
