The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Ma Shan knelt in front of the coffin, clenching his hands into fists, and veins popped out on his neck. But he finally held back and did not argue with He Chengjun.

Chanali quietly winked at Zheng Jiahao, who nodded understandingly and ran out immediately.

The embarrassment in the mourning hall lasted for a few minutes, and was quickly resolved by the guests who came to express their condolences. Grief and crying became the main theme.

Zheng Jiahao worked very efficiently, and he came back soon with white linen clothes.

Chanali said a few words in Zheng Jiahao's ear. Zheng Jiahao nodded and went out again.

Although it was a temporary piece of cloth and the linen clothes didn't fit very well, it at least complied with the rules, and Mashan finally looked like a filial son.

However, the people of the He family obviously did not intend to recognize him as a "family member" and did not leave him the position of "filial son". Mashan could only kneel silently in the corner and accept the condolences and condolences from the guests.

Seeing this look, the guests naturally noticed something strange and even smelled the smoke. The dominance of one gambling king in the gambling city that He Jiachang won over the past ten years may be about to be broken, and a new battle for gambling kings seems inevitable.

This forced the big guys who came to attend the gambling king's funeral to consider taking sides. Some people are optimistic about Mashan and will go over to express their condolences. Some people will only greet the descendants of the He family and ignore Ma Shan.

Of course, some people feel that before the situation is unclear, it is not appropriate to place a unilateral bet, so they will please both sides.

"Master Ma is at the height of his power. I think Haojiang will be Master Ma's world in the future!"

"That's not necessarily the case. After all, Mr. Ma has a foreign surname and is from the north. He is not of my race! I'd still bet on the He family."

"Then how about a bet? Let's bet on who will become the new gambling king of Haojiang in the next three years."

"Okay, okay, this is okay. With this bet, you can support one side and bet on the other side. This way you can hedge and minimize risks and losses."

"Tch, you are such a coward. You only think about hedging to reduce losses. Why don't you just put all your money on it? If you bet correctly, you will be prosperous!"

"Hey, what Old Ding said makes sense. Mr. Ma is at the height of his power now, but the He family has a deep background. If the two sides fight, the outcome is hard to say. When gods fight, mortals suffer. If we can achieve a hedging balance and reduce losses, we will be lucky. "

He Jiachang's body is still cold, the flags and white flags are still flying, and people in the garden have already started gambling for the future gambling king.

"Haha, that's because you can't see the situation clearly. Once you see the situation clearly, it's easy to place a bet."

"Can you see clearly?"

"Of course! You all think that the He family and Mr. Ma are equally powerful, and it's hard to predict whether they will win or lose. But you have forgotten that Mr. Ma is a person, and more than one person in the He family wants to take over. The old man has many aunts and wives, except for the eldest lady who is now the head of the family. , and several children, and there are countless illegitimate children out there!"

"It's okay. I heard that the old man made a will a long time ago and named the head of the family."

"Tch, what's the use? You've never heard of the story of nine sons seizing the heir, haven't you? The old man can still suppress him when he's here, but once he leaves, who among them will obey whom? People's hearts have been like this since ancient times. It's easy to share adversity, but it's hard to share wealth and honor!"

"But even so, Mr. Ma may not have a chance of winning. No matter how powerful Mr. Ma is now, if he doesn't have the support of the old man, who will obey him in Haojiang?"

"That's right, the person named Ma is backed by the Li family in the capital. The rise of the Li family is all due to Mr. Li. I heard that he was a member of Xuanmen and could call the wind and rain, exorcise ghosts and summon gods. However, he was expelled three years ago. It’s time to leave school.”

"But isn't the Jingli Group at its peak? Now it's a big company, overwhelming the Li family in Xiangjiang."

"What's the use of just having money? If Li falls, the Jingli Group will be divided up sooner or later. I heard that Mr. Li hasn't been seen in three years. Maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

"Hey, you see what is written in martial arts novels, those who are kicked out of the master have to lose their martial arts!"

"What you said seems to make sense. I'm not optimistic about Mr. Ma anymore. After all, Haojiang still belongs to the He family."

……

After the funeral, a report first appeared on a not-so-well-known online media: "The old man passed away, and the godson and his wife appeared in formal clothes. Is this a funeral or a wedding banquet?" 》

At the end, the author also asks: Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?

It was originally just a piece of gossip, but someone discovered that the picture accompanying it was the recently deceased couple He Jiachang and Mashan.

I saw the Mashan couple appearing at the He family in grand formal attires, which formed a sharp contrast with the white linen clothes everywhere.

As a result, the news quickly spread, various reports emerged one after another, and the pictures accompanying it became more and more outrageous.

"The King of Gambling's corpse is still cold, and the new Yinsha Ma Ye wants to take his place!" 》

"The old and new gambling kings alternate, and the new gambling king demonstrates to the He family"

"Don't you need to be filial to your godson?" Two thousand years of Chinese culture have been lost! 》

"Where are the horses competing? Where will the future of Haojiang go?" 》

"Mainland Tsai plots to seize territory, Haojiang people stand up and support the He family!" 》

……

Ma Shan sat in the office on the top floor of Xin Yinsha, his face sinking after reading the news on the forum.

Chanali poured a glass of red wine, walked over and handed it to him.

"Don't be angry, have a glass of wine to calm down."

"I'm not angry." Ma Shan did not pick up the wine glass. "I just feel sad. In the three years I have been in Haojiang, I have never done anything to regret the He family."

Chanali said: "But you took away the cake from Haojiang Casino."

"Mu Chen and I won this."

"But they won't think so. They will only think that everything in Haojiang belongs to them, and you are just a foreigner."

Mashan's face was as gloomy as if a rainstorm was about to come.

"Did Jiahao find anything?"

"We are still investigating. Director Lin of Maria Hospital did not know. Doctor Liu was the one who treated the old man at that time. He went abroad after the accident, saying he was traveling. Jiahao had already flown to Las Vegas, and soon There will be news."

"Hmph, there is no three hundred taels of silver here!" Ma Shan sneered, "If I find out that my godfather did not die a normal death, they will be dead!"

"Actually, you can ask for the coffin to be opened and the autopsy done at the mourning hall that day." Chanali said, "No matter what means are used, they can't escape our eyes."

Ma Shan shook his head: "No, I always have to save some face for my godfather. Even if I leave, I will leave in glory. If it is found out that an unfilial son of the He family did it, my godfather's reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life." ”

Chanali sighed: "Your loyalty is your strength, but it is also your most fatal weakness."

Ma Shan smiled, suddenly hugged Chanali's waist, and asked: "Then do you like a loyal husband, or do you like a cunning and unprincipled husband?"

Chanali groaned and fell into Ma Shan's arms.

At this moment, the phone rang.

"Master Ma, we found Dr. Liu. The old man had obvious signs of suffocation. He was not sure whether it was man-made or not, but Dr. Peter gave him five million and asked him to change the death report."

Zheng Jiahao's voice came from the phone.

"understood."

Mashan only said three words and hung up the phone.

Then stood up and said, "It's time to go talk to Dr. Peter."

Chanali said: "I will go with you."

"No." Ma Shan kissed her on the forehead, "book a ticket for me to Las Vegas and let them know that I went to see Dr. Liu. Next, while I'm away, , they will definitely take action against Xin Yinsha. Liu Qiming may not be able to withstand it alone, I need you to help me take charge of Xin Yinsha."
