Summary of the previous chapter: Huang Jingming’s image briefly introduced several superpowers to Ma Xiaoquan, and also suggested that Ma Xiaoquan’s next physical time travel should go to the late Ming Dynasty...
At the beginning of the 19th year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty (AD 214), Liu Xie suddenly issued two imperial edicts in succession.
The first imperial edict announced the removal of Ma Xiaoquan from the title of Immortal Marquis and demoted Ma Xiaoquan to a commoner; the second edict was to urgently summon Cao Cao.
At that time, the whole of Xudu and Yecheng all rose up. After receiving the news that Ma Xiaoquan had been demoted to a commoner, some good people immediately lined up to go to the Ma Family Courtyard in Yecheng to watch the fun, and there were also some people who had plans for Mrs. Mingyue.
Ma Xiaoquan was very angry and immediately summoned all the servants of the Ma family and beat up those who dared to provoke.
But...you can't do anything if you're not in the government. All the people who had a little fun with Ma Xiaoquan in the past ran out, especially Liu Miao who danced the most happily.
Relying on his surname Liu, Liu Miao confidently led a group of people to find a place at the entrance of Ma's courtyard.
The last time his nephew was raped by Ma Xiaoquan, Liu Miao had a lot of complaints in his heart. Now it's better. The emperor issued an imperial edict and removed Ma Xiaoquan's title and demoted him to a commoner. It's so cool. It's so damn cool.
...
"Ma Xiaoquan, come out here for me, and call Mrs. Mingyue up when you come out, haha..."
In the Ma family's courtyard, the fists of Liang Long and other celebrities were clenching, but the owner, Ma Xiaoquan, smiled calmly and said nothing.
After burning the incense, Zhang Gong couldn't bear it any longer: "Master, I can't bear it any more. Just let me out. I'll shoot that stupid thing to death with one arrow..."
"Shoot him to death?" Ma Xiaoquan squinted at Zhang Gong, "Do you know who is shouting outside the door?"
Zhang Gong snorted: "It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he insults the master, I will beat his mother."
"Hit your mother's legs!" Ma Xiaoquan slapped Zhang Gong on the back of the head and cursed, "Don't tell me whether you can shoot the yelling guy outside the door. As long as he depends on you, Zhang Gong, don't tell me about you.
Your life is at stake, that is, your woman and your children must die. Even if you don’t die, your woman will be sold and your children will be given away. Zhang Gong, can you bear it?"
Zhang Gong touched the back of his head and said, "Then can I escape?"
"Escape?" Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile, "Can you escape as well as the monks can escape from the temple? You think too simply. If you offend that guy, he will definitely dig three feet into the ground to find you!"
"
Hearing this, Zhang Gong couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said: "Then... what should we do? We can't stay together all the time."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Of course I won't stay here anymore. I will definitely get back what happened today, but not now! Humph!"
Ling'er hugged the child and stepped forward and asked, "Ms. sir, are you hiding something from us?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "How can it be? Wife Ling'er, you are thinking too much."
Ling'er pouted: "I don't believe it. You asked Zhang Gong to send a letter to Cao Cao two days ago. You must have written some bad things in the letter. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so confident."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, shook his head, and said nothing.
Ma Xiaoquan did write a letter to Cao Cao two days ago. The content of the letter was about the recent movements of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. There were several sentences in which Ma Xiaoquan said very obscurely, but with Cao Cao's intelligence, he must have understood them at a glance.
After reading the letter, Cao Cao sent a message back to Ma Xiaoquan, saying that he understood everything.
Zhang Gong came back and delivered Cao Cao's message. Ma Xiaoquan laughed and praised Cao Cao's intelligence.
On the other hand, after receiving Liu Xie's imperial edict, Cao Cao did not go to Xudu immediately, but made good preparations first.
In fact, Cao Cao's preparations started as early as when Ma Xiaoquan wrote him the letter.
"The little emperor wants to kill me, haha... It's so stupid..." Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.
Next to Cao Cao, Cao Pi asked: "Father, everything has been arranged by Xu Du. As long as Liu Xie takes action, we can turn against the guest at any time and even kill Liu Xie..."
Before Cao Pi could finish saying "kill", Cao Cao gave him a fierce look.
Cao Cao said: "It's not enough to kill Liu Xie. It's just that this idiot Liu Xie removed the title of Master Shangxian, which is equivalent to giving us the most powerful and powerful ally, haha..."
"The most powerful ally? Father, I don't understand."
Cao Cao smiled and explained: "Pi'er, do you know who granted the title of Immortal Marquis to Master Shangxian?"
Cao Pi nodded: "The Emperor's seal...ah, father, what you mean is...I understand, I understand."
Cao Cao nodded: "I understand, haha, God helps me, God helps me, haha..." As he said that, Cao Cao picked up his sword and rushed out of the door.
...
Half a month later, a bombshell news suddenly came from Xudu: the emperor and the queen conspired to kill the Prime Minister Cao Cao, and Cao Cao discovered it. After verification, it was found that the matter had nothing to do with the emperor, and was all the work of the queen Fu Shou.
.... Empress Fu and her accomplices were arrested and executed on the same day.
When the news reached Yecheng, it was already late January.
In the Ma family compound, Ma Xiaoquan and Qing Yi were learning the language and writing of the Baiyi tribe. Hua Yuexin suddenly appeared in front of the two of them and told Ma Xiaoquan the news that Queen Fu was beheaded.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Madam, Qingyi, I can guarantee you that your husband-in-law will be restored to my title within three days."
Hua Yuexin smiled and said, "Is this true?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Of course! But this time, your husband-in-law, I don't care about this title anymore."
"Oh? So my husband, what do you need?"
"I, I need you both...haha..."
"Ah...my husband hates it..."
...
Things went as Ma Xiaoquan said. On the third day, the emperor issued an imperial edict announcing the restoration of Ma Xiaoquan's title of Immortal Marquis. However... the eunuch in charge of announcing the edict waited at the gate of Ma's courtyard for a whole day.
No one came out to receive the order.
The eunuch was very anxious. If he couldn't get it done today, he would have to go back to see the emperor.
The door opened with a "creak" sound.
The eunuch was very happy and hurriedly came forward. However, the person who came out was not Ma Xiaoquan, but a servant of the Ma family.
The servant took two long coats and some food, handed them to the eunuch and said: "Father-in-law, my master ordered this for you. It's cold, so please wear more clothes. There are some warm ones here."
Eat, father-in-law, how can you do it without eating or drinking for a whole day? Hurry up and eat and drink."
The eunuch smiled bitterly and grabbed the man's hand and said: "Brother, don't leave yet. I beg you, I beg you, you must invite Mr. Hou out. It's not a pity for me to die with my old bones, but Mr. Hou
Grandpa must come out."
"Father-in-law, I am just a servant. I have no right to interfere with the master's affairs. Father-in-law, hey, father-in-law, please don't pull me..."
The eunuch was willing to let go and finally caught a member of the Ma family. Today, he is risking his life to get the Shenxian Hou out.
"Presumptuous!" Suddenly, a deep male voice came from behind.
The eunuch turned his head and took a look. He couldn't help but be so happy that he ran towards the source of the sound.
"Master Marquis, I'm waiting for you. Please, this is the emperor's decree. The emperor has said it, you don't need to kneel down, just take it!"
Ma Xiaoquan pushed him away and refused: "Go back and tell Liu Xie that I, Ma Xiaoquan, don't care about this Immortal Marquis anymore."
"Master Hou, you"
Ma Xiaoquan threw a bamboo slip to the eunuch and ordered: "Give this to Liu Xie and tell him not to bother me again in the future."
The eunuch didn't dare to pester him anymore, so he had no choice but to take the bamboo slips and leave.
As soon as the eunuch left, Cao Pi came with his hind legs.
When Ma Xiaoquan saw Cao Pi, he was a little surprised and asked: "Little Cao, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Cao Pi said: "Master Shangxian, let me ask you on behalf of my father, are Liu Miao... going to be beheaded together?"
"Liu Miao?" Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although Liu Miao is a bit domineering, he has not done anything too extreme. Moreover, it is said that Liu Miao is more talented and is currently employing people. It is inevitable that he will be killed.
It's a pity, in my opinion, exile is enough."
Cao Pi hesitated and said: "Master Shangxian, isn't it a bit too... womanly?"
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "Little Cao, don't do anything too extreme, be merciful to others and leave them some way to survive."
Cao Pi suddenly understood and bowed respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan: "I understand. Thank you, Master Shangxian, for your advice!"
"Well, go down and do it!"
...
As soon as Cao Pi left, Ma Xiaoquan called Zhang Gong forward.
"Zhang Gong, I've assigned you a task, do you dare to do it?"
Zhang Gong patted his chest: "Master, please tell me, Zhang Gong is bound to kill people and set fires!"
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoquan patted Zhang Gong on the shoulder, "I just want you to kill people, and no one will be spared!"
Zhang Gong said: "Master, who is it?"
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Zhang Gong, if you were given a choice, who would you most like to kill?"
Zhang Gong blurted out without hesitation: "Liu Miao's family!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Go ahead! Do it cleanly!"
Zhang Gong took the order and left.
"Humph, Liu Miao, Liu Miao, don't blame me. You came to tease my woman over and over again, and even squatted in front of my house to humiliate me. If you were still a member of the imperial court, I would be afraid, but now...
...I'm sorry...I, Ma Xiaoquan, am not a stingy person, but for you Liu Miao...I will definitely retaliate!"
