Summary of the previous chapter: Liang Chao, a government official, visited Ma's house and wanted to inform Ma's old lady Ma Xiaoquan of the bad news of her death, but when she entered Ma's house, she was surprised to find a "Ma Xiaoquan" whose hair had been cut short

+++++++++++++++++++ "Ma Xiaoquan, be honest, go in~"

"I'm not"

"What are you? You bad guy, you touch Xiaocuihua is Liu Yijing's concubine, you are really bold, who is Liu Yijing? Donglin Party's cabinet scholar, don't you want to die? ”

"Not really"

"What the hell, hurry up and go in, I'll give my grandmother an errand~"

"I~~Hey~~" The man walked into the small black room dejectedly, only to hear the door slam, followed by the sound of locks and padchains.

The man shrugged his shoulders and looked around at the "little dark room" left and right.

It is said to be a small black house, but it is not dark, and the space is also very large, if you look at it by modern standards, it is almost 100 square meters.

There was only a bed, a table, and a chair in a large room, and a screen in the corner, behind which was a toilet with a lid.

"I'm the next Olympics~~" The man was completely speechless.

"Hey~gott~~ Ma Xiaoquan be Ma Xiaoquan, anyway, my name was Ma Xiaoquan, but I don't know if this Ma family is my ancestor" The man lay on the bed and closed his eyes gently, instead of thinking nonsense, it is better to sleep well first

In his sleep, the man dreamed of a beautiful woman, the woman was graceful, her voice was gentle, and the two people in the dream, holding hands and playing in the stream

"Ah~~ Beauty, don't run, don't run~~" The man was dreaming while grabbing his hand in the air, and suddenly, the man's hand touched a very soft place.

In a trance, the man subconsciously pinched the softness, and then, a crisp slap woke the man up.

"Uh~~" The man opened his eyes, felt that the right half of his face was hot and painful, and then looked at it, and a beautiful woman was standing in front of him.

The woman covered her chest with her hands, and a pair of big eyes were looking at her viciously.

"What's wrong with me?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, you are really a hooligan, shameless"

"Me? Why am I shameless, what the hell is going on? ”

The woman was so angry that she stomped her feet several times, and pointed at the man with a red face: "Ma Xiaoquan, you wait, I'll go and sue grandma~"

The woman left the small black room in a huff, and locked the door tightly when she went out.

The man shook his head helplessly, he really didn't know what had just happened.

"Hey, it seems that this family really regards me as their Ma Xiaoquan, okay, then I, Ma Xiaoquan, will be the Ma Xiaoquan of this family for the time being."

The man stood up, stretched, walked to the window, and gently pushed the window.

The windows were closed and seemed to be nailed from the outside, but it wasn't any glass that glued the windows, and of course, there should be no glass in this era.

There were a few "bangs", the sound of chains sounded outside the door, and then, with a "creak", the door opened.

There was an old man and a young man standing at the door, needless to say, the young one was naturally the woman just now, and the old one, in fact, needless to say, was the old lady of the Ma family.

The old lady slammed the crutch to the ground and reprimanded, "Little rabbit, come over to me."

The man silently read his name in his heart, and repeated his current "fake identity", nodded and said, "Oh~"

Walking up to the old man and the young man, the man exhaled, and silently recited in his heart, "I am Ma Xiaoquan of this Ma family", and then he said: "Grandma~~"

"Hmph~ You still know how to call grandma, when did you treat my old woman as your grandmother?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, leaned in front of his grandmother and said, "Oh grandma, how can you see the outside like this, no matter what, you are my grandmother, I am your grandson, hehe"

Beside the old woman, the woman glared at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Grandma, do you see it, I said that he was pretending, right?" ”

"Hmm~~" The old woman squinted her eyes slightly, paused and said, "Quan'er, you are not young, your eldest brother left early, and the second brother and the third brother are in Ningyuan with your father, and my Ma family is now in Beijing City, you can't be a man like you."

Ma Xiaoquan interrupted: "Grandma, I really didn't do anything today?" ”

"Well, you really didn't go to the Inn?"

"Ouch grandma, where am I going to Yuelai Inn~"

"Then what did you do when you let the earth egg take you out through the side door early in the morning?"

Ma Xiaoquan's heart tightened, and he said in his heart: Damn, the original Ma Xiaoquan of this family will go to Xiaocuihua, but my mother's body has crossed over.

"Grandma, I just panicked at home and went out for a walk"

"You really didn't go to the Joy Inn?"

Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest: "I really didn't go~"

"Well, okay, I see~" The old woman nodded, and turned her head to leave.

Ma Xiaoquan hugged the old woman's arm: "Grandma, didn't I do anything today, I'm grounded"

The old woman gave Ma Xiaoquan a blank look: "Don't think about it, give me three days in the inner wall of the house, it's cold, you bring some books to Quan'er."

The woman nodded, glared at Ma Xiaoquan in disgust, and said respectfully: "Yes~"

The door was locked again, and Ma Xiaoquan was locked back again.

In the main hall of the Ma family, Mrs. Ma was thinking thoughtfully about what happened today, and at this moment, the housekeeper Ma Tong walked over.

"Madam~" Ma Tong bowed slightly.

Old Madam Ma snorted and asked, "Ma Tong, how is the investigation?" ”

Ma Tongdao: "Back to Mrs., I have checked, there was indeed a murder in Yuelai Inn today, two people died, a man and a woman, the woman is indeed Xiao Cuihua, that is, Liu Yijing Xinna's concubine, and the man and the young master are almost exactly the same~"

Old Madam Ma frowned: "Have you seen it on your body?" ”

"Back to Mrs., I've read it."

"How's it going?"

"Madam, there is a knife mark on the back vest of the young master, and there is also a knife mark on the back vest of the man, which is exactly the same as the young master~"

"What?" Old Madam Ma stood up and said with some excitement, "Ma Tong, can you see clearly?" ”

Ma Tong nodded: "Madam, forgive the old slave for saying too much, the one who died may be the young master~"

When the old lady heard this, her body went limp, and she sat down on the chair for a long time before she regained her strength.

"So, there's a good chance that the one that's locked in the house is fake?"

Ma Tong nodded.

"Hmm~~" Mrs. Ma closed her eyes gently, feeling sad for a while, if the man who died was indeed her grandson, then who is this man who looks almost exactly the same at home now?

"Ma Tong, who else knows about this?"

Ma Tongdao: "Liang Chao, but Liang Chao is not sure now, after all, the only one who knows that the young master's vest has a scar is my Ma family." ”

"Oh~" Mrs. Ma nodded, "Okay, I know, Ma Tong, you go and ask Liang Chao to bring the male corpse, I want to see it myself, by the way, as for this fake one, don't startle the snake first"

Ma Tong nodded and said, "Madam, if this person is a fake, then what is his purpose?" ”

Mrs. Ma shook her head: "My Ma family doesn't have any treasures worth thinking about, if you want money, there are ** people who are richer than my Ma family."

Ma Tong thought for a moment and said, "Madam, if this person's purpose is" Ma Tong didn't say anything at this point, but Old Madam Ma already understood what he meant.

"Ma Tong, are you talking about the "Secret Records of the Hundred Arts Clan" of my Ma family?"

Ma Tong nodded: "Madam, the "Secret Record of the Baiyi Clan" is the only and most important thing in my Ma family, Madame has handed over this secret record to the old slave for many years, and the old slave feels that if this person beats my Ma family's idea, he must be playing the idea of the secret record." ”

Old Madam Ma thought for a while, nodded and said: "It is very likely that before the old man died, he specially asked me to hand over the secret record to you for safekeeping, just because I am afraid that our rival will remember this thing in my hands Ma Tong, you have worked hard all these years."

Ma Tong shook his head and said: "Madam, Ma Tong has no father and mother since he was a child, and he wanted to enter the palace, but after cutting the baby, he was driven out, and everyone looked down on me, it was the lord and Mrs. who took Ma Tong in, and gave Ma Tong the surname Ma, and regarded Ma Tong as a family, Ma Tong has no wishes in this life, just hope that my Ma family will prosper."

Old Madam Ma sighed and asked, "Ma Tong, I've worked hard for you, but who do you think would be if someone beat my Ma family's "Secret Records of the Hundred Arts Clan"?" ”

Ma Tong thought for a while and said, "Madam, could it be Lu Zhan?" ”

"Lu Zhan?" Old Madam Ma frowned, and snorted coldly, "Lu Zhan, this brute, harmed my husband's life, this account will be settled with him one day, well, what you said is not unreasonable, the Lu family beat my Ma family's "Secret Record of the Baiyi Clan" It is not a day or two Ma Tong, you know martial arts, you help me keep an eye on this fake guy." ”

Ma Tong nodded respectfully: "Yes, madam~"
