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

Unlike ordinary people, this man was lying in with a soft couch by four people.

Chen Hongfan was not dead, but he just couldn't stand up. He was afraid that he would not be able to get out of bed after two or three months of rest.

The Ma Mansion is now full of guests.

Those who came to the eunuch party or those who were associated with the eunuch party were of course some people who could only be able to reach it.

Those who regard themselves as Qingliu, who think they are based on their identity, will not be in mingle with Ma Shiying.

It was only one night that Ma Shiying had received more than ten waves of visitors.

The gifts received were no longer piled up in the east warehouse, and the ones that were slightly inferior were thrown directly into the cross-yard.

Just gold and silver are no less than 100,000 taels.

Is it ridiculous? The Qingtai Dynasty could not even raise the food and salary for the new recruits, but Chen Zilong came to beg for alms with a shy face. However, in two days and one night, Ma Shiying collected 100,000 taels of gold and silver, regardless of jade jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, etc.

At this time, Ma Shiying really didn't want to accept these things. Although he was jealous and itchy, he had spent a lot of time with Wu Zheng. He knew the degree and the bottom line. Compared with his future and the reputation he wanted, these really couldn't catch Ma Shiying's eyes.

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

As the saying goes, everyone is carrying a flower sedan chair, and keeping a line of things in the future will make it easier to meet in the future.

So Ma Shiying opened up to collect, and as long as someone dared to give it away, he would dare to collect it.

Look, the hundreds of servants in the Ma Mansion were so tired that they were sweating profusely, and they couldn't even straighten their waists, and they shouted "I can't stand it anymore."

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

It was because Hong Chengchou forced him to come.

Hong Chengchou had no choice. He knew that doing this would make people feel cold, but this matter really allowed Chen Hongfan to come.

Who made Ma Shiying promote Chen Hongfan and recommend him?

Wouldn’t this kind of relationship be useless, wouldn’t it be a waste of natural resources?

He couldn't even turn his head, had a few missing teeth, and spoke vaguely, and the air leaked Chen Hongfan was carried into the Ma Mansion.

When he saw the reply, Ma Shiying thought about it after repeated thought.

After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, Ma Shiying can tell the importance.

But it is really too tempting to be "A Duwu". Hong Chengchou made a lot of money, two thousand taels of gold.

I don't even have white ones, I think it's for the convenience of carrying on a mission.

Looking at the yellow color, Ma Shiying was moved.

This happened more than two years later, Chen and Ma met again in private.

Chen Hongfan knew that Ma Shiying was a human being. Lao Ma was jealous of money and wanted to squeeze out a liang of oil and water from the stones. He had received a lot of filial piety from that year.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Hongfan dared to come. Otherwise, not to mention Hong Chengchou was forced, even if Hong Chengchou put a knife on his neck, he would definitely... pretend to be dead.

In the side of the Ma Mansion, Ma Shiying looked at Chen Hongfan with a swollen face and felt secretly happy.

Chen Hongfan's identity is naturally unable to entertain in the main hall.

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

After a while, Ma Shiying squeezed out a trace of sadness and said, "Oh, Lord Chen, you have suffered. If you were walking on the street, we really couldn't recognize you."

Chen Hongfan couldn't even turn around. Listening to Ma Shiying's deep "emotional" words, the tears were pouring out like a spring.

He said in a daze: "Mao Xiang... Mao Guo is old, Cheng Mou... he is really desperate to commit Xiao Ren."

Ma Shiying looked sympathetic and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "The Duke Zhenguo is too ruthless to start... But I said you are the same. Just sit down and reason to negotiate, and why do you do it? You don't know. Ma is over fifty years old, so he has to kneel down and apologize from time to time in front of him... You said, I haven't kneeled a few times in front of Emperor Hongguang back then."

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying sighed and sighed.

Chen Hongfan felt like he was hard to find a soulmate. These words rushed to his mouth, but he could not speak sharply and could only make a "hmm" sound to express his complete recognition.

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

Chen Hongfan's eyes turned and he squinted 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 looked at it for a few times and fell silent.

"Mao Xiang...Mao Xiang, you are talking badly."

Ma Shiying thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen is inconvenient to speak. Next, if I say, you nod or shake your head, okay?"

Chen Hongfan nodded hurriedly.

"Master Hong wants Ma to remove Wu Zheng's negotiator in the cabinet?"

Chen Hongfan nodded.

"The promised work in this letter will be paid a lot of money. How much... 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 it after the matter is done? Uh... can it be delivered to our mansion that day?"

Chen Hongfan nodded vigorously.

Ma Shiying nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although Wu Zheng had the kindness of taking in and supporting Ma, no matter how great the grace is, the gold and silver are, it is not as caring as possible. Okay, I agree with this matter. But in the beginning, Ma only agrees and does not advocate it, and whether the success or not has nothing to do with Ma, what about it?"

Chen Hongfan nodded.

Ma Shiying laughed loudly, "Mr. Chen is injured, so Ma will not force him to stay. When Mr. Chen's injury is healed in the future, Ma will hold another banquet to plot with Mr. Chen to get drunk."

Chen Hongfanqiang squeezed out a smile and nodded repeatedly.

"Please, I'll send it not far away!"

....

Since ancient times, many villains have been talented.

For example, the poet Chen Qi of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty asked Sun Qi, Fang Hui, Cai Jing, Yan Song, Zhao Wenhua and others in the Song Dynasty.

In every era when the country is about to perish or changes rapidly, it is especially common for such "elites" with poor character but outstanding literary talent.

Such characters have been there in the past, now, and in the future.

The eunuch Ruan Dacheng and the Donglin Party Qian Qianyi can be regarded as the role model.

Ruan Dacheng was already dead. It is said that when he followed the Qing army south to Fujian, he suddenly suffered a serious illness on Wutongling, and his head and face swelled. It seems that he had done too much evil, and God did not let him go.

But Qian Qianyi lives well and is now in Yingtian Mansion.

Speaking of which, Ma Shiying also took the blame for Qian Qianyi.

Everyone says that Ma Shiying recommended Ruan Dacheng as the Minister of War, which led to Ruan Dacheng's actions against the enemy.

But in fact, when Ma Shiying was the chief minister, he recommended Qian Qianyi as the Minister of Rites, then Qian Qianyi recommended Ruan Dacheng as the Minister of War, and finally Ma Shiying promoted Ruan Dacheng from the Minister of War to the Minister of War.

Only a few parties involved know what kind of transactions there are.
