Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan did not intend to kill Li Wei, but he left the life and death of the foreman to Luan Hongyan...
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the dagger, was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked Hua Qingqing behind him: "Why is your emerald green dagger in her hand?"
Hua Qingqing giggled and said, "Sister Shuang is so kind to me, so I'll just give it to her. What's wrong? I can't?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly in his heart, this Bei Mingshuang was already terrifying, but now that he has a handy weapon in his hand, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
...Bei Mingshuang knelt down, used the emerald green dagger to gently cut open the front of the foreman's clothes, and murmured: "Well, this emerald green dagger is highly poisonous. I'll hit you a little bit."
With such a touch on your body... you are almost done. What, do you want to give you a good time, or let you slowly die of poisoning? "
"No, don't, don't do this, Hongyan, please, Hongyan, please"
Luan Hongyan took a breath and suddenly said: "Sister Shuang, please stop."
"Huh?" Bei Mingshuang was stunned for a moment and looked at Luan Hongyan in confusion.
"Let him go, I don't want to see him again."
"Sister Hong, are you sure you want to let him go?" Bei Mingshuang said.
Luan Hongyan nodded.
While Luan Hongyan nodded, Can Xin beside her suddenly felt a little disappointed.
"Well, okay" Bei Mingshuang sighed, made eye contact with Ma Xiaoquan, and then cut off the rope that tied the foreman.
After regaining his freedom, the foreman rolled and crawled away, but before he could run a few steps, he suddenly turned around, took out a blowpipe from his arms, and blew a cold arrow towards Luan Hongyan.
It happened so suddenly that no one except Canxin noticed it.
Can Xin couldn't speak, so she jumped up and stood in front of Luan Hongyan.
With a "Pfft" sound, a cold arrow pierced Can Xin's throat. Can Xin screamed, covering his throat, and fell to the ground, his body shaking.
The giant dragon reacted the second time. Its head expanded and contracted, biting half of the foreman's body, and then with a click, bit him into two pieces.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan and others reacted.
"Canxin" Ma Xiaoquan hugged Canxin, "What are you doing? Is it worth it?"
Can Xin raised her head and glanced at Luan Hongyan, then nodded lightly.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said: "But...Sister Hong...what are you doing this for? What are you doing for?"
Can Xin smiled slightly, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Luan Hongyan knelt down, reached out to hold Can Xin's face, and suddenly burst into tears: "Fool, why do you want to help me block the cold arrow? We are not familiar with each other?"
Canshin couldn't speak, but his expression was very satisfied. Then, his pupils began to dilate... and gradually lost their vitality.
"Ah" Luan Hongyan suddenly stood up like crazy and shouted angrily towards the sky.
Ma Xiaoquan walked to Luan Hongyan, took her into his arms, and let her cry bitterly in his arms... for a long time... for a long time...
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan led Li Wei to his mansion.
The handover procedures went smoothly, and Ma Xiaoquan also took over all the rights to the copper mine. Ma Xiaoquan did not pursue Li Wei's behavior towards him too much. Instead, he asked for a strange medicine from Bei Mingshuang.
Help Li Wei recover.
Li Wei is actually not a bad person. If it weren't for himself in the past few years, he wouldn't have done so many bad things. Not only has he not been killed, but he has also received a strange medicine from Ma Xiaoquan. Li Wei is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Ma Xiaoquan.
Bei Mingshuang was very puzzled by Ma Xiaoquan's approach. In her opinion, a duplicitous person like Li Wei should be killed to avoid future troubles. However, Ma Xiaoquan did not think so. After all, Li Wei had been a pawn here for several times.
His parents are officials at the age of 18 and are very familiar with this place. Moreover, Li Wei is from the imperial court after all. Although he is the deacon of the Imperial Guard and has the right to kill first and then report later, he is currently playing the role of Ma San, not himself. Besides,
Political struggles never require too much fighting and killing. Sometimes, you can subdue the opponent without using a knife.
...Although Ma Xiaoquan took over the copper mine, he needed some capable people to help him share the burden. He thought Luan Hongyan could do it, but unexpectedly, Canxin's sudden death directly caused Luan Hongyan to lose her voice. Look
Come on, this copper mine needs to find another capable person.
At night, Ma Xiaoquan and others gathered together to discuss the next plan.
The copper mine has been taken over, and only management is left. As the new takeover, Ma Xiaoquan is not ready to leave immediately. There are many things in the mining area that he has to sort out, so until suitable management talents are recruited, Ma Xiaoquan needs to do it himself. At the same time,
It's also time to monitor Li Wei's movements. After all, Li Wei is related to Wei Zhongxian. Who knows if this guy will turn against him later?
In order to facilitate management, Ma Xiaoquan simply lived in the mining area. The residence was the manor where the foreman lived.
The foreman died, and his manor became Ma Xiaoquan's office. Of course, Ma Xiaoquan was not the kind of person who wanted to spend all his time and enjoy himself without doing anything. After he dismissed most of the women in the manor, only a few remained.
Helpless. Since these women are also good-looking, in many cases, even when Ma Xiaoquan goes to the toilet to urinate, he is secretly monitored by Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingshuang.
Ma Xiaoquan also knew that the two of them were spying on him. After all, they had promised Li Qinghan to watch him. Hey, just spy on him. Anyway, he was walking and sitting upright.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past half month, Ma Xiaoquan has eliminated most of the mining area management. He has re-appointed several deputy foremen. As for the candidate for the full foreman, he has not decided on it. Of course, he has no plans to do so.
It was settled so quickly.
...
Another month has passed. During this month, the copper mine has been operating in an orderly manner, and many large and small copper ingots have been produced. However, there is no place for refining, and these copper ingots are relatively rough.
Ever since she knew Ma Xiaoquan's true identity, Hua Yue had been by Ma Xiaoquan's side, playing the role of "secretary". Regarding her knowledge of Ma Xiaoquan's identity, Hua Yue did not tell Dongfang, Beiming or Hua Qingqing.
However, women are sensitive animals. Hua Yue's inadvertent glances several times attracted the attention of Dongfang, Bei Ming, and Hua Qingqing. Together, the three women decided to find a day to ask Hua Yue...
..Women's war... begins...
The scenery in the mining area is actually pretty good. Since the news of a giant dragon emerging from the mine ditch was exposed, some miners spontaneously formed a guild to worship the giant dragon.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't stop him. After all, with the worship of these people, the giant dragon's food was finally found.
Ma Xiaoquan would pull a rope down the mine trench every now and then to communicate with the giant dragon. Of course, he still didn't understand what the giant dragon said, so he still needed Hua Yue to translate.
On this day, Ma Xiaoquan finished the work at hand and prepared to ask Huayue to go down to the mine to meet the giant dragon. Dongfang, Beiming and Hua Qingqing got the news and they all clamored to go together. In desperation,
, Ma Xiaoquan had to bring several women with him.
Although Hua Yue has complaints in her heart, she understands that if she intervenes, it will take a long time for Dongfang, Beiming and the woman in Beijing to accept her. However, Hua Yue is confident, because she has done so in the past few times.
She and Ma Xiaoquan went down to find the giant dragon. She had this confidence and believed that Ma Xiaoquan must also be interested in her.
To be honest, Ma Xiaoquan really does have some interest in Hua Yue, but the meaning is not a dirty one, but an appreciation one.
As a woman, Hua Yue has a strong ability to do things. During the days when she took over the copper mine, Bei Mingshuang stayed in the house all day long and didn't know what to do. Anyway, she was here and there every day. Dongfang Qingxue was okay,
But after all, she doesn't have much foreign-related experience, so most of the time she is managing internal affairs; and Hua Qingqing, this heartless little girl, only eats, plays and sleeps. After two months, she has become a girl
Her face has become rounder and her figure seems to have grown a lot.
Fortunately, Hua Yue was there. If she hadn't helped sort things out, Ma Xiaoquan alone, even if he was half exhausted, wouldn't have been able to sort things out neatly in such a short period of time.
Ma Xiaoquan has been thinking that if a capable woman like Hua Yue were born in his modern era, she would definitely be a very attractive strong woman, female executive, and CEO.
...
Several people came to the edge of the mine ditch, and the servants had prepared the equipment for going down the ditch.
After Ma Xiaoquan took over the copper mine, he transformed the trench into a place open to the public. Of course, he no longer allowed people to jump down. Even spontaneous worship by the Miners' Guild had to be approved by Ma Xiaoquan.
Standing on the hanging board in Xiagou, Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and looked to the east, Bei Ming and Hua Qingqing, and said calmly: "Hold the rope around you, it may be a bit wobbly when you go down."
"Yeah." The three girls nodded in unison.
Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue looked at each other. The latter was not nervous because he had been in the trenches with him several times. If the other three women were not present, Hua Yue would have held Ma Xiaoquan's arm like he had done several times before.
Down the ditch.
"Creak, creak, creak, creak..." The windlass rolled up the rope, making a heart-wrenching sound. Although the hanging board was a little wobbly, it still landed smoothly without any danger.
Before this, Ma Xiaoquan ordered the miners who worshiped the giant dragon to come down several times. After resting, the mine trench was now brightly lit, and the piles of corpses were buried and disposed of.
