Chapter 537: Malaysia Volunteers
In the third hall of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Ma Weimin was temporarily staying in the side room. Old Ma felt guilty and made up his mind to admit defeat and tell all his secrets.

Speaking of the crucial juncture between Qiu Weizhen and Lin, Ma Weimin elaborated on the so-called four methods of not arresting extremely corrupt officials.

When Xiao heard that he was leaving, he suddenly realized something, as if he had suddenly realized something.
I really didn't expect that these cabinet members would have such affairs in private.

It seems that I am still a little bit lacking in experience when it comes to party struggles and official fights. There is a huge gap between me and them!

It takes a moment to digest.

Xiao Jingchuan came back to his senses and continued asking questions, considering that Lao Ma's account book was an important piece of evidence.

"Ugh"

"I never thought that corruption would have so many hidden secrets."

"It must be my own fault for not considering it carefully."

"Hey, that's right."

"Old Ma, you just said you had an account book, where is it now?"

"I dug you here directly from the Jiangning Court trial. I guess the item shouldn't be on you, right?"

"Do you need someone to fetch it and protect it?"

"just in case"

Xiao Lang responded that, thinking of the account books, he wanted to intervene and take charge of them to avoid any problems in the future, which would result in nothing happening.

But when he heard this question, Ma Weimin closed his eyes and stared at him, then pointed to his head with a sly smile.

"Haha, how can you remember this kind of thing with a pen?"

"Here it is, all in my old Ma's head."

"Don't worry, you can't throw it away."

"Haha, brother, but let's put it another way. Right now, I, Ma Weimin, have to keep everything intact. If I break up with them, I will be left alone."

"Damn it, with all this fuss, everyone who should be offended has already been offended."

"From now on, how I, your elder brother, survive, will all depend on you, Brother Xiao."

"Of course, you won't lose anything either."

"From now on, whoever you ask me to do, I, Old Ma, will find a way to do it."

"As long as it's not one of the big ones, we can't move it because of our limited strength."

"What about these provincial and county governments down there? They are so peaceful, huh?! Hahaha."

The meaning of Ma Weimin's words could not be clearer.

Even if he wanted to surrender and serve as a pawn, he would use his own bad background to do the dirty and shady work for Xiao Lang and take on the shameful job.

Hearing this, Xiao was delighted.

"Haha, you, look at how you show off. Can you do the task I give you?!" Xiao Lang wanted to provoke him.

"Eh? Why does this sound so annoying, huh?"

"When you were dealing with Yan Yingyuan in Changzhou, I could tell that you were determined to cultivate your own people in the court."

"If you ask me, that's right. Take advantage of this opportunity to do official business and make some money!"

"Saving people and making money are actually the same thing."

"No matter whether it's in public or in secret, if you've got the right person, give him some favors and then give him a promotion. Then he will be yours, right?!"

"From now on, whether you are in charge of the court or commanding troops to fight outside the country,

"You need to have your own team to do this!"

"When everyone adds fuel, the flames rise high!"

"In the past, my brother, you had your own team in the army. You were good at fighting, and I, Old Ma, would not interfere."

"But this is the court..."

"Haha, your foundation is too shallow, maybe you can't play it well?!"

"Not afraid!"

"From now on, I, Old Ma, will definitely hang out with you, Brother Xiao!"

"Look at you, you've gained quite a lot from this imperial mission! Huh?! Hahaha."

"And I am not bragging when I say Ma Weimin."

"You saved me, so from now on my life will belong to you!"

"From now on, if you need any help, just give me the order!"

"Especially when it comes to fighting against those corrupt officials in the court, just leave it to me!"

"Look, I've finished my performance!"

"Ah! Yes!"

"As I just said, there is one more section, which is our bet."

"I, Ma Weimin, am a gambler and a man. I am willing to accept the loss." "So, when you come to Zhenjiang this time, don't worry about the grain transfer from Changzhou. Leave it to me."

"What the hell is the Zhenjiang prefect and the river manager?"

"No matter how powerful his background is, as long as we, Old Ma, take action, he will definitely obey orders and do our work. Do you believe it, brother?!"

Ma Weimin took charge of everything, understood Xiao Lang's thoughts, and wanted to understand what Xiao Lang was thinking.

Seeing this enthusiasm, Xiao Jingchuan was quite satisfied.

"Uh, are you going to pressure Mei Gongheng for me to transfer the grain to Changzhou?!" He continued to ask.

"Hehehe"

"Anyway, just don't worry about it."

"How to deal with this old guy? I can do it alone."

"Too many people is a bad thing."

"Well, two days!"

"Brother, our old horse will only take two days!"

"If you can't borrow the food within two days, I'll chop off my head and use it as your chamber pot!"

Ma Weimin was very clear about what he said and immediately challenged Na to submit a letter of surrender.

When Xiao Wei heard this, he thought carefully and was stunned for a moment.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome to get food."

"Even if I, as an imperial envoy, seized his granary, I think Mr. Mei Heng would not dare to confront me!"

"We can't just do it directly. Is there any other consideration here?!"

Xiao Jingchuan still had his own calculations about the grain transfer, and felt that it was not as difficult as Lao Ma said.

But when Ma Weimin heard such slanderous words, he was speechless.

"Hey, brother!"

"Well, stop calling me brother. You're my real brother!"

"There's no reason to do this kind of thing."

"This is purely for the good of your country, Master."

"If you want to gain a foothold in the court, you can be a new noble, but you'd better not offend people like Qiu Weizhen and Ma Shiying easily in the short term!"

"You also saw the situation during the trial in Jiangning."

"The fight between Ni Yuanlu and Qiu Weizhen was intense and fierce, like a tit-for-tat fight."

"We are just taking advantage of this opportunity, and the most important thing is to profit from it!"

"It's never a good idea to make too many enemies right from the start."

"Old Ma, these are all from the bottom of my heart. Brother, why don't you reconsider it?!"

Ma Weimin came to persuade him earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang also thought about how Zhizhong and Yao Zuyin had also given him advice before coming to Nanjing.

To be on the safe side, it seems that Ma Weimin is the only one who can handle this matter.

After comparing their thoughts, Xiao finally compromised and changed his words to accept the request.

"Hu——" Then he exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Fine!"

"You have more experience in fighting in the officialdom than me, so I'll just listen to you for now!" Xiao Yun.

"Haha, okay!"

"Just wait and see, my dear brother!"

As the saying goes, Ma sets the standard for the people.

But at this moment, Xiao glanced at the door and saw Changting tilting his head to warn him.

Seeing him looking over, Xiao hurriedly waved his hand to stop talking.

At the same time, footsteps were heard outside and Qin Jing walked in.

"My lord!"

"The teams outside have been clearly assigned."

"The thief's body has also been dealt with."

"Well, after the team doctor examined the bodies, he found poisonous pills at the collars of many of them."

"And the ingredients in this poison pill may be somewhat special."

"If we continue to investigate this way, we may gain some results, but we don't know for sure."
