Beautiful mayor's wife

General military mansion.

Forecourt hall.

Sitting on the chair, Ma Xiaoyao looked at Hua Rui curiously: "Are you Tian Zhengang's wife?"

"Yes." Huarui nodded.

"What do you want from me?" Ma Xiaoyao asked straight to the point.

"I'm here to surrender to Zongbing Ma, oh, to be precise, I'm here to surrender to Zongbing Ma on behalf of my husband Tian Zhengang." Huarui didn't make any detours, and said her intention very happily.

"Surrender?" Ma Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes: "I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Huarui smiled slightly: "Mr. Ma, you are a smart person. You must understand me. I am here today with sincerity. As long as you nod, my husband and I will only follow you."

Ma Xiaoyao stared at the stamen for a while, and then said, "Why doesn't Tian Zhengang come by himself?"

"His current situation is a bit dangerous, and it is inconvenient to show his face." Huarui explained: "Let me just say it, Ding Xiong and others want to join forces to deal with Ma Zongbing, but my husband is not willing...so he I was hated by Ding Xiong, Ding Xiong is a very insidious person, and he will definitely send someone to monitor my husband, just to be on the safe side, I can only take Zhengang's place."

"Oh, that's it." Ma Xiaoyao nodded noncommittally.

"Mr. Ma, please give me an accurate answer. Do you accept the surrender of our husband and wife?" Hua Rui asked straightforwardly.

Ma Xiaoyao didn't give an answer in a hurry, but closed his eyes for a moment of meditation, and then slowly opened his eyes: "If you say you want to surrender, you will surrender. How can I trust you?"

"Since I've come to surrender, I'm naturally bringing my name." Huarui had expected Ma Xiaoyao to ask this question, so she wasn't surprised at all.

"Certificate of honor? What is the certificate of honor?" Ma Xiaoyao became a little interested.

"Because you formed an investigation team to investigate the misappropriation of military expenses by the generals at the bottom, which made Ding Xiong and others very angry. Later, you got the support and support of 10,000+ soldiers. Ding Xiong and others couldn't sit still, so they got together Discuss how to deal with you..." At this point, Huarui's tone became serious: "Ding Xiong proposed to hire a killer to assassinate you, and as long as you die, the matter will be settled."

"Hire a killer? Assassinate me?" Ma Xiaoyao's face changed: "He is so courageous!"

"Ding Xiong is always bold and reckless." Hua Rui said with a wry smile, "And you have pushed him to a corner, he will definitely fight to the death."

"Did Xiong also embezzle military expenses?" Ma Xiaoyao asked suddenly: "Otherwise, he couldn't be so nervous."

Huarui nodded: "Yes, Ding Xiong is also a mortal, and he also has needs, and he also married many concubines, and his daily expenses are very high. His salary alone cannot support so many people, so he can only think of other things. There is a way to make money." Speaking of this, Huarui paused for a moment: "I can tell you with certainty that Ding Xiong is the biggest moth in the White Tiger Banner military camp. With him as an example, the generals below embezzle military expenditures so brazenly, this is a typical example of a crooked top beam and a crooked bottom beam."

"What about your husband?" Ma Xiaoyao looked at Huarui with interest: "Has he embezzled military expenses?"

"He..." Huarui bit her thin lips: "I'm not going to hide it from you, my husband did embezzle military expenses... but the amount was not large, and my husband has already regretted it and decided to return the military expenses that were corrupted... ..." Speaking of which, Huarui raised her head and glanced at Ma Xiaoyao who was expressionless: "Actually, my husband has always been very principled. The reason why he embezzled military expenses was to show Ding Xiong and others. After all, they It’s a colleague, and I don’t look up and down every day. If my husband behaves too differently and is too out of group, it will be difficult to get the approval of Ding Xiong and others. At that time, my husband’s situation will be difficult. I said so much, I don’t want to Excuse my husband from responsibility, but ask Ma Zongbing to give him a chance to reform and make a new one for the sake of my husband's timely repentance."

This woman is so eloquent!Tian Zhengang married a good wife!Ma Xiaoyao secretly admired in his heart, he admitted that he was moved by Huarui, in fact, he really needs Tian Zhengang's help now...but...he still can't fully believe Huarui, he is worried that this is a trap, a carefully arranged Trap... Ma Xiaoyao has gone through countless hardships and obstacles along the way. He is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning. It is impossible for Ma Xiaoyao to easily believe in the stamen that he has only met once.

Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a while, and finally decided to observe and observe again. It is always right to be careful in everything. Ma Xiaoyao considered his words and said: "Mrs. Hua, I am very happy that you can come to me today, and I am also very happy." I am willing to accept your husband and wife, but..."

As soon as he heard the word "but", there was a wry smile on Huarui's face: "Ma Zongbing has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"After all, we are only meeting each other for the first time. It is really difficult for me to trust you [-]%." ​​Ma Xiaoyao said slowly: "I speak directly, I hope Mrs. Hua will not be angry."

"I don't dare to be angry with Zongbing Ma." Huarui smiled sweetly: "I know Zongbing Ma is still suspicious of me, I understand this very well, really, I really understand, if it were me, I wouldn't I will easily trust a stranger, but I will prove it with practical actions, and sooner or later, I will let you Ma Zongbing trust our husband and wife."

"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I will give you an accurate statement today. If you husband and wife sincerely trust me, I will never treat you badly. I, Ma Xiaoyao, will do what I say!"

"I definitely believe in Zongbing Ma." Huarui smiled and said, "Zongbing Ma, have you ever been to the Imperial City?"

Ma Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "I have been."

"There is a well-known killer organization in the Imperial City called the Black Shadow Society. I wonder if Zongbing Ma has heard of it?" Huarui continued to ask.

A gleam flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes: "The Black Shadow Society? This is the first time I've heard of this name."

"Ding Xiong is going to hire the killer of the Sombra Society to assassinate Ma Zongbing." Huarui has something to say now: "The Sombra Society has been established for many years. It is said that the backstage is very hard. One very important point is that the killers of the Sombra Society are very powerful, and almost all the missions they accept will be successful."

"The Black Shadow Society, it's interesting." Ma Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the temple. Someone hired the killer from the temple to assassinate him, but it failed in the end. I didn't expect that there was a similar killer organization in the secret territory.

"Mr. Ma must be careful. Sombra will only recognize money but not people. They don't care if you are the commander-in-chief. Once you accept the mission, they will never stop with you." Seeing Ma Xiaoyao, he didn't seem to take it seriously , Huarui was a little anxious, she bet the fate of her family on Ma Xiaoyao now, and she didn't want to see Ma Xiaoyao have the slightest accident.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."

"That's all I have to say. If Ma Xiaoyao has no other orders, I'll go back first." Huarui has always been straightforward in doing things, never procrastinating, and she has explained everything, so there is no need to delay any longer, and she came out It's been a long time, Tian Zhengang will be worried if he doesn't go back.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Take me a word to Tian Zhengang, as long as he really repents, I can give him a chance to reform himself."

Huarui's face beamed with joy: "My husband and I are relieved with Ma Zongbing's words, Ma Zongbing, the little girl is leaving." After saluting with both hands clasped fists, Huarui turned and left.

Looking at the back of Huarui leaving, Ma Xiaoyao slowly smiled: "In this world, there are still many smart people."

……

Ding Xiong is very quick to do things. It took him only three days to contact the Black Shadow Society. After some discussions, the Black Shadow Society offered a price of 30 taels of silver. Ding Xiong was impatient when he heard it. Blackmail people? 30 taels of silver is enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers, and this price is too outrageous!

Ding Xiong wanted to bargain, but Sombra's attitude was very firm. Sombra said that the risk of assassinating a general soldier is very high. Their offer of 30 taels of silver is already the reserve price. If Ding Xiong doesn't agree, then Don't talk about it any more.

Seeing that Heiyinghui's attitude was so firm, Ding Xiong was at a loss. He would never be able to afford 30 taels of silver by himself. In the end, he had no choice but to call the other nine ten thousand chiefs over to discuss how much silver to deposit.

"What? 30 taels of silver? This is clearly the lion's big mouth! They slaughtered us like rabbits!" Wu Haibiao was the first to get angry: "It's really unreasonable!"

"The price is indeed high."

"Insanely high."

"30 taels of silver...they really dare to ask for it."

……

Everyone agrees that the price is too high.

"People have said that the risk of assassinating a general is too high, that's why the price is so high." Ding Xiong said helplessly.

"Old Ding, you don't really want to give Sombra 30 taels of silver?" Wu Haibiao frowned.

"At this point, do we have any other options?" Ding Xiong asked back: "Ma Xiaoyao has raised the butcher knife high, and it will fall on our necks at some point. It’s about to fall into a desperate situation.”

"But 30 taels of silver is too much..." Wu Haibiao said with some pain.

"It's really a lot for one person, but it's not too much for ten of us." Ding Xiong stretched out his hands: "On average, each of us only needs to pay 3 taels of silver. In other words, 3 taels of silver should be available, right?"

"My money is very tight recently." Liu Zihao said with a twitching face.

Ding Xiong glanced at Liu Zihao: "I just want to ask you: Is money more important or life more important?"

"I..." Liu Zihao was immediately stopped by the question, held back for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "I did it! Isn't it just 3 taels of silver? I'm out! It's a big deal and I'll slowly get the silver in the future!"

"That's about the same." After Liu Zihao was settled, Ding Xiong's confidence doubled, and he began to ask other people's opinions: "What about you? What's your idea?"

"Old Ding, let me ask you a question: How sure is Soi Ying that he can get rid of Ma Xiaoyao?" Wu Haibiao asked with a solemn expression.

"This...according to Sombra's past record, I should be [-]% sure." Ding Xiong thought for a while and said.

"Ninety percent sure? So, there is still a possibility of failure?" Wu Haibiao's mouth twitched.

"There is no such thing as perfect in this world. It is really not low to be [-]% sure. As long as there are no major accidents, Ma Xiaoyao will definitely die." Ding Xiong said confidently.

"Okay, since you are so confident, then I will accompany you crazy once." Wu Haibiao also made a decision: "Since Ma Xiaoyao is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous!"

The others hesitated for a moment, but they all agreed, and even Tian Zhengang finally nodded without objecting.

Ding Xiong looked up at Tian Zhengang: "Old Tian, ​​you seem to be very silent today? Do you have any thoughts in your heart?"

Tian Zhengang was startled, why?Did Ding Xiong see a flaw?Although he was a little nervous in his heart, Tian Zhengang remained calm on the surface. Anyway, he is also an old man, so he still has some concentration: "Old Ding, what you said sounds harsh to me. The first two times I spoke , you thought my words were not pleasant, and you beat me up, I kept silent today, and you are dissatisfied again, so what do you want me to do?"

"You misunderstood, I don't mean anything else, I just feel... something is wrong with you today." Ding Xiong laughed, and then changed the subject: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, then this matter That's it, and you will all send the money by tomorrow night at the latest, and what we discussed today must be kept secret, if anyone dares to leak it, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Having said that, Ding Xiong slammed A terrifying murderous aura emanated from the ground.

"Old Ding, don't worry, now we are all grasshoppers in a boat, we can't escape you, and we can't escape me, as long as we are not fools, we will definitely not leak the secret." Wu Haibiao said carelessly.

"Yeah, how could we make fun of our own heads." Others also expressed their views.

"Okay, everyone go back." Ding Xiong politely sent everyone outside the door, and then reached out to grab Wu Haibiao when others were not paying attention: "Old Wu, I asked you to monitor Tian Zhengang, did you do anything?" ?”

"I did." Wu Haibiao nodded: "Of course I will do what you ordered."

"How is it? Did Tian Zhengang play any tricks?" Ding Xiong asked in a deep voice.

"Old Ding, I didn't say you. You are so surprised that you don't even believe your old buddy for many years." Wu Haibiao shook his head: "I sent someone to monitor Tian Zhengang for several days, but I didn't find any evidence Something's wrong."
