At this time, a person came up from Ma Shiying's mansion.

Unlike usual, this man was carried into the couch by four people lying down.

Chen Hongfan didn't die, but he couldn't stand up, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed without two or three months of recuperation.

Mafu is now full of guests.

Those who came were all eunuchs back then, or people related to the eunuch party, and of course there may be some people who can only reach it with eight poles.

Those who claim to be clear and want to rely on their own identity will not be in the same stream as Ma Shiying.

Just one night after returning to Beijing with Wu Zheng, Ma Shiying had already received no less than ten waves of visitors.

The gifts received were no longer stacked in the East Wing Warehouse, and those that were slightly inferior were thrown directly across the courtyard.

Gold and silver alone are no less than 100,000 taels.

Is it ridiculous? The Qingtai Dynasty couldn't even make up the salaries of the recruits, or Chen Zilong came with a "shy" face, but in two days and one night, Ma Shiying collected 100,000 taels of gold and silver alone, not counting jade jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings.

At this time, Ma Shiying really didn't want to accept these, although his eyes were hot and his hands were itchy, he had spent a lot of time by Wu Zheng's side, and he knew the proportions and the bottom limit, compared with the future future and the name he wanted, these really couldn't get into Ma Shiying's eyes.

Receiving is Ma Shiying's strategy, being an official, popularity is the first.

The so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, leaving a line for doing things, and it will be good to see each other in the future.

So Ma Shiying opened up to receive, as long as people dared to send, he dared to receive.

No, I was so tired that hundreds of servants in the Ma Mansion were sweating, and they couldn't even straighten their waists, and they shouted "I can't stand it".

Chen Hongfan dared to come, not because he was lightly injured, nor because he wanted to be loyal to the Qing court with his life and make meritorious contributions.

It's really because Hong Chengchou is forced to come.

Hong Chengchou also has no choice, knowing that doing this will chill the hearts of the people around him, but this matter can really only be let Chen Hongfan come.

Who let Ma Shiying have the grace of promoting and recommending Chen Hongfan?

Isn't this kind of relationship a tyrannical thing if it is not exploited?

Chen Hongfan, who couldn't even turn his head and lost a few teeth, and spoke slurred and leaky, was carried into the Ma Mansion like this.

When she saw the post, Ma Shiying thought about it again.

After decades of ups and downs in the sea, Ma Shiying has been able to weigh the weight.

But it is really too tempting to "Ah Block", Hong Chengchou has a very large hand, two thousand taels of gold.

Not even a white one, I think it was for the sake of ease of carrying on the mission.

Looking at this piece of yellow and clear color, Ma Shiying was moved.

This led to another private meeting between Chen and Ma after more than two years.

Chen Hongfan knows that Ma Shiying is a person, and when the old horse sees the money, he wants to squeeze out a tael of oil and water from the stone slag, and he did not receive his filial piety back then.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Hongfan dared to come, otherwise, needless to say, Hong Chengchou was persecuted, even if Hong Chengchou put a knife on his neck, he would definitely ...... Play dead.

Ma Fu was in the middle of the room, Ma Shiying looked at Chen Hongfan, who was swollen into a pig's face, and secretly enjoyed in his heart.

Chen Hongfan's identity naturally cannot be entertained in the main hall.

Ma Shiying stretched his legs and circled around Chen Hongfan, with a wonderful look on his face.

After a long time, Ma Shiying squeezed out a trace of sadness and said, "Yo, Lord Chen, you have suffered." If you're walking down the street, we won't really recognize you. ”

Chen Hongfan couldn't change his head, listening to Ma Shiying's words with deep "feelings", the tears were gushing out like a spring.

He slurred his words: "Mao Xiang...... Mao Guo is old, Cheng Mou...... It's really rare to commit a small benevolence. ”

Ma Shiying looked sympathetic, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Zhenguo Gong is too ruthless...... But I said that you too, negotiate and sit down and reason, why do you want to beat him up? Don't you know, Ma has more than half a hundred people, and in front of him, he still has to kneel down and ask for guilt from time to time...... You say, I didn't kneel a few times in front of Emperor Hongguang back then. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying sighed and sighed.

Chen Hongfan had a feeling that it was difficult to find a bosom friend, and this full stomach of words came to his mouth, but his speech did not allow him to speak sharply, so he could only make a "hmm" sound to express his complete agreement.

Ma Shiying patted Chen Hongfan on the shoulder again and said with relief: "I understand, I understand, Lord Chen is hard to say, so there is no need to say more." ”

Chen Hongfan's eyes rolled and he squinted at his right shoulder.

Ma Shiying immediately understood, bent down, searched under Chen Hongfan's right shoulder, and took out a folded letter.

Opening the letter, Ma Shiying glanced at it a few times and fell silent.

"Mao Xiang...... Mao Xiang, you are all bitter and bad. ”

Ma Shiying thought for a while and said, "Lord Chen is inconvenient to speak, next, what I say, you just nod or shake your head, okay?" ”

Chen Hongfan nodded busily.

"Scholar Hong wants Ma to remove Wu Zheng from the errand of the chief negotiator in the cabinet?"

Chen Hongfan nodded.

"What is the promise of this letter and the reward of a large sum of money...... Uh, two thousand taels? ”

Chen Hongfan shook his head.

"Three thousand taels?"

Chen Hongfan shook his head.

"Five thousand taels?"

Chen Hongfan nodded.

"Gold?"

Chen Hongfan nodded.

Ma Shiying paced back and forth twice, turned around and asked, "How to deliver after the deed?" Belch...... Can it be delivered to my house on the same day? ”

Chen Hongfan nodded vigorously.

Ma Shiying nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although Wu Zheng Yu Ma has the grace to take him in and carry him, but in this world, no matter how great the favor is, it can't be more intimate than this gold and silver." Well, I'll do that. However, the ugly words are ahead, Ma only agrees not to propose, and whether the thing is successful or not has nothing to do with Ma, how about it? ”

Chen Hongfan nodded.

Ma Shiying laughed, "Lord Chen is injured, Ma will not be forced to stay, and when Lord Chen's injury heals in the future, Ma will hold a banquet to conspire with Lord Chen to get drunk." ”

Chen Hong Fan Qiang squeezed out a smile and nodded again and again.

"Please, I won't be far away!"

……。

Since ancient times, there have been many villains and talented people.

For example, the Tang Dynasty poets Shen Yan and Song Zhiwen, the Song Dynasty had Sun Mao, Fang Hui, Cai Jing, and the Ming Dynasty had Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua.

And every time the country is about to die or in the era of rapid change, it is especially common to see such "elites" with poor character but brilliant literary talents.

Such characters have existed in the past, are in the present, and will be in the future.

Eunuch Ruan Dacheng and Donglin Party Qian Qianyi can be described as their teachers.

Ruan Dacheng is dead, it is said that when he went south to Fujian with the Qing army, he suddenly fell ill on the Wutong Ridge, and his head and face were swollen and died.

But Qian Qianyi is alive and well, and he is now in Yingtianfu.

Speaking of which, Ma Shiying also carried the black pot for Qian Qianyi.

Everyone in the world said that it was Ma Shiying who recommended Ruan Dacheng as the secretary of the military department, and Ruan Dacheng acted perversely.

But in fact, when Ma Shiying was the first assistant, he recommended Qian Qianyi as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, then Qian Qianyi recommended Ruan Dacheng as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and finally it was Ma Shiying who promoted Ruan Dacheng from the head of the Ministry of War to the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Among them, only a few parties know what kind of transaction there is.

But I have to say that the leaders of the eunuch party and the Donglin party, who are incompatible, are secretly linked so closely that I am afraid that they will blind the eyes of the world.
