Aspirations

Chapter 164
"It's not just the victory over Cui Fuzun, but also Yanhao and Gao Jianyuan, Hou Pingpan, and His Highness Xingwang..." Lian Ruohan smiled calmly, "Victorious over all those who dare to stand in the way of Xia Xianzun. People of the road!"

Afterwards, Lian Ruohan, Xiao Jia, and Cao Shuli got up and went to Xiajiazhuang and Wenyuan, planning to start building a house today.

Besides, when Xia Xiang and Cao Shujun arrived at the county government office, after they sat down, Cao Shujuan still angrily talked about what happened last night, and asked Xia Xiang to dispatch the county government office to search the whole city to find out the whereabouts of the murderer.Xia Xiang smiled and said that there is no need to make a fuss, with the other party's skills, even if he searched for three days and three nights, he still couldn't find out where she was hiding.

Lu Dongliang came to report, and Xu Wangshan, Ma Qingyuan and Liancheng asked to see him.

What, Ma Qingyuan and Liancheng are back?Xia Xiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Outside the door stood Xu Wangshan with a smile on his face, Ma Qingyuan with a tired but joyful face, and Liancheng with a calm face.

Several people greeted Xia Xiang respectively, Xia Xiang was not polite, he grabbed Ma Qingyuan with his left hand and Xu Wangshan with his right hand, and invited them into the room.Liancheng followed closely behind with a calm face.

Ma Qingyuan didn't wait for the tea, and the first thing he said after taking his seat was: "Xia Xianzun, Ma is lucky to fulfill his mission."

Xu Wangshan then said: "After Ma Yuanwai came back, he didn't even have time to go back home, so he came directly to the county government. I happened to meet Xu on the Zilong Bridge, and Xu had something to report to Xia Xianzun, so let him go. Come together."

Xia Xiang nodded approvingly: "Mr. Ma has spent many days in the city, thank you for your hard work."

Ma Qingyuan just took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth and said: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work at all, but it's very interesting. Dong's firm was really plotted against. If it wasn't for Xia County's respectful wisdom, he sent Liancheng to go there early." To help Dong Duan, Dong's firm may have been renamed Zhuang's firm at this time."

"Zhuang Feifei?" Xia Xiang remembered Zhuang Feifei's name clearly. Last time Ding Ke almost brought Zhuang Feifei to the real world, but was abruptly snatched back by the guards stationed in Shile, which shows that this person is very important.

I also remembered that according to Fu Ke, Zhuang Feifan, Liu Changting, and Xie Huagai echoed each other and jointly operated the horse and weapon business. Don't think about it, Zhuang Feifan must be Cheng Tianqing's right-hand man in Shile County, and also the star king and marquis Pingpan is a key pawn in Shile's layout.

"It's him." Ma Qingyuan thought of Zhuang Feifan's arrogant face, and couldn't help being angry, "I heard from Liancheng that before Zhuang Feifei used a forged IOU to annex Dong's firm, but after being found out, he was almost escorted back. It was true, but was forcibly snatched back. Ma originally thought that after this incident, Zhuang Feifei would restrain himself a bit, but he didn’t want Ma to come across Zhuang Feifei trying to force Liancheng to submit when he arrived at Shile.”

Liancheng got up, and said respectfully: "Xia Xianzun, after the villain helped Dong Yuanwai sort out the accounts, Zhuang Yuanwai came to the door and brought out some agreements, saying that Dong Dayuanwai had business dealings with him back then, and he still owed money. He paid a total of 50 guan..."

"What a Zhuang Feifei." Xia Xiang couldn't help sneering. Before, Zhuang Feifei forged IOUs and asked for 30 yuan. He didn't want to repeat the same trick, and dared to ask for another 50 yuan. Fa, let him know that Daxia is bright and clear, and don't allow him to confuse black and white."

"Xia Xianzun, please calm down. Ma is not talented. Although he can't deal with Zhuang Feifan, it still makes him ashamed and touched his nose." Ma Qingyuan laughed, "If Ma doesn't even have this ability, wouldn't he have failed Xia? The trust of the county lord?"

Liancheng said: "The villain is incompetent, he only knows how to check accounts, and he has no ability to deal with bad people."

Xia Xiang waved his hand and said, "Even the accountant doesn't have to blame himself, I also want to thank you for helping Dong solve the account."

"It's also thanks to the accountant. Without him sorting out the accounts, Ma would not have confidently tidied up Zhuang Feifei." Ma Qingyuan respectfully invited Liancheng to sit back in his seat, and then smiled proudly, "Even the accountant is serious." Well, the accounts he handles are clear and accurate, much better than Mr. Ma's accountant. The agreement in Zhuang Feifei's hands can't be seen from the signature. Even Dong Duan said it was Dong Duan's account. In the accounts handled by Lian Account, the corresponding date also indicates that there was indeed a transaction on that day. In this way, people have to be convinced. Later, Ma and Lian Accountant sang together and asked When and where Zhuang Feifei signed the deal, another person checked the accounts of that day, and finally saw through Zhuang Feifei's trick..."

"What's the trick?" Cao Shujun was fascinated, "Could it be that the agreement that Zhuang Feifei took was forged?"

"The deal is real."

"Is the amount owed forged?"

"It's true too."

"That's weird. Could it be that Dong Xian really owes Zhuang Feifan 50 guan?" Cao Shujun couldn't figure it out.

"Even Ma almost fell for Zhuang Feifan's tricks at that time." Ma Qingyuan smiled complacently, "Fortunately, Ma is well-informed. Although he doesn't harm people, he also knows some ways to do harm. Mr. Cao Lang has As far as I know, the date and amount on the agreement are all true, only one point is false..."

"Say it quickly, Ma Yuanwai, where is it fake?" Cao Shujuan was inexplicably excited, and jumped up, "Let me learn a lot, so that I won't be deceived in the future."

Ma Qingyuan smiled slightly: "It was stated in the agreement that the payment should be paid in one lump sum within three days, but it was changed to three years by Zhuang Feifei. That is to say, the payment has already been paid in full, and Zhuang Feifan wants to ask for it again. With the current situation of the firm, if it really owes Zhuang Feifei 50 crowns, it will definitely go bankrupt."

"Seeing that the matter was brought to light, Zhuang Feifei not only didn't feel ashamed, but said plausibly that no matter who is going to uphold justice for Dong Duan, Dong's firm will be in his pocket sooner or later. Not to mention Ma, even Xia Xianzun can't do it." Stop it." Ma Qingyuan's face was a little stern, "Ma originally wanted to advise Zhuang Feifei that he must forgive others and forgive others. Huo Duo may just want to annex the other party. Ma is not a friendly person, and he is a little angry. He immediately responded to Zhuang Feifei and said that with Xia Xianzun and Ma, Dong's firm can only be Dong Duan's firm , it will not be any outsider's firm. Zhuang Feifei sneered a few times and left."

"What happened later? What happened later?" Cao Shujun couldn't wait to know what happened next.

Xia Xiang's face was calm, and he took a sip of tea lightly. Although he was furious, he still restrained his emotions.Behind Zhuang Feifei's aggressiveness and eagerness to annex Dong's firm, apart from having Tian Qing's backing to make him confident, there are probably some people who are worried about the huge assets of Dong's firm and urgently need the money of Dong's firm.

Reminiscent of Guangjin Commercial Bank not only having to compete with the prosperity of the wealthy country in terms of iron ore supply, but also facing the encirclement and suppression of Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan in terms of grain purchases. The firm can solve the urgent need.

"Later..." Ma Qingyuan smiled meaningfully, "Later, Tian Qing and Fan Li came forward one after another, intimidating and luring, using various means to persuade Ma to make concessions, and even proposed to divide Ma after annexing Dong's firm. Good thing. Ma has no spare time to deal with them, so he immediately refused. They became angry and wanted to be unfavorable to Ma, thinking that Ma came from Zhending and was unfamiliar with Shile’s place of life, but they didn’t expect that Ma went all over the place For many years, I also have deep connections in Shile.”

"Bo Lu Qingyuan, the owner of Shile County, is Ma's distant relative." Ma Qingyuan chuckled, with a sly smile and a bit of complacency. Bo inquired about some things, and learned that although Tian Qing was scheming but very fearful of inward-looking people, he chose to keep a concubine outside, so Ma made a special trip to Tian Qing's concubine's home, falsely claiming that Tian Qing picked her up. Going to the capital, she gladly traveled with Ma. Ma placed her in Dong's firm, and even chatted with her to amuse her when she was free. I didn't want this chat to reveal a shocking secret."

Xia Xiang couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect Ma Qingyuan to have such a method. Although it was not very upright, it was not too much to deal with corrupt officials like Tian Qing.

"What's the secret?" Cao Shujun was completely overwhelmed by Ma Qingyuan, he shook Ma Qingyuan's arm, "Mr Wai Ma, I admire you so much, you are amazing, really amazing."

Ma Qingyuan laughed: "The secret is... Zhuang Feifei pays for all Tian Qing's outside flowers and food. Over time, she hooked up with Zhuang Feifei. Tian Qing didn't know it, and even called Zhuang Feifan a brother, but he didn't know Zhuang Feifei has already planted a Mongolian prairie above his head, haha."

"Haha." Xia Xiang was also amused by Ma Qingyuan's words, "What a Mongolian prairie, Ma Yuanwai is really a master."

Ma Qingyuan waved his hands again and again: "Xia Xianzun is over the award, Ma is just a layman and a rough person, not an expert. But sometimes he has some skills when dealing with scoundrels and corrupt officials. Tian Qing also has no vision, although Hua Xiaohua She's pretty, but she's a flirtatious woman, and after only getting along for a day, she wanted to seduce Ma. Ma pretended to flatter her and sacrificed some of her looks to get her words out."

Cao Shujun gave a thumbs up: "Dedicating himself to the country, Ma Yuanwai was really a hero at that time."

"Cao Langjun is envious?" Ma Qingyuan chuckled, "If you really want to envy, Hua Xiaohua is really determined at this time, and Ma can send her to Cao Langjun's room at any time."

"Really? Well, I'll greet you." Cao Shujun thought Ma Qingyuan was joking, but when he saw Ma Qingyuan's serious face, he panicked, "Forget it, forget it, I only like Miss Xiao, um , as well as Lady Mantuo, as for other ladies, I don’t like it for now, and we’ll talk about it later.”

Xia Xiang was also taken aback: "Did you really bring Hua Xiaohua to Zhending?"

"It's not just Hua Xiaohua, there's also Dong Duan and the entire Dong's firm!" Ma Qingyuan crossed his hands at Xia Xiang, "I also hope that Xia County Lord will forgive me, Ma has made his own decision to bring people to the real world, and there are some inconsiderations. Even Xia Xianzun criticizes it."

Xia Xiang stretched out his hand to support Ma Qingyuan: "What did you do wrong? Tell me why you brought everyone back to Zhending?"

Ma Qingyuan continued: "From Hua Xiaohua's mouth, I learned that although Pei Shuozhang is the magistrate of Shile, he is not as effective as Tian Qing in Shile. It's not that Pei Shuozhang doesn't have the authority of a county magistrate, but that Pei Shuozhang's mind is not in Shile, He only wants to be promoted. Another point is that Tian Qing has been an official in Shile for many years and has a deep network, which is far beyond what Pei Shuozhang can compare. On the surface, Pei Shuozhang has the final say on many things in Shile, but in fact it is Tian Qing's idea. "

"Tian Qing's brilliance lies in maintaining Pei Shuozhang's majesty as the majesty of the county at all times. In many things, he is in the way of side-talking or slowly persuading, or pushing back. His own decision is actually to make wedding clothes for Tian Qing. But it is precisely because of this that Pei Shuozhang, a foolish official, is not wronged. He has not participated in many things about Shi Le, but is innocent."

Xia Xiang nodded, Pei Shuozhang only wanted to be transferred from Shile, and only hoped to be promoted to a capital official as soon as possible. He was indifferent to the suffering of the people in Shile, but stayed out of it because of slack, which was ridiculous and sad.

"Tian Qing didn't know that Ma had taken Hua Xiaohua away. When he came to Dong's firm again and made a gesture of swearing that he would not give up until he reached his goal, Ma pretended to have slipped his mouth and ordered an item that only had flowers. Xiaohua and the secret he knew, he was stunned and almost lost his composure. Fortunately, Ma told him in a timely manner, don't panic, there are some things that only God knows and you know, as long as you speak well, nothing can't be solved Yes. As soon as he heard it, he knew that Ma did not want to break his face, and he changed his face to talk to Ma. Ma put forward three conditions. Tian Qing cannot stop Dong's firm from moving out of Shile to Zhending. The third is that Ma wants to bring Zhuang Feifei back to Zhending..."
