"A cup of bitter water instead of elixir, half a lifetime of glory and a dream. The cold palace is deeply wronged, and the Lantern Festival is lonely and sad for a long time. ”

The Hua Dan's face was sad, and the old man also leaned forward slightly with the poignant and melodious singing, as if he was thinking.

"I didn't know my son's life and death for 12 years, and I was heartbroken. Twelve years of unclear and unjustified grievances, when to dispel the fog and see the sunshine. ”

.......

At the end of the excerpt of the song "Tanuki for the Prince", the old man seemed to have tears on his face, and seemed to be pleased with the happy ending in the play. After the last gong came down crisply, the old man opened his eyes for a long time, and slowly took a sip of the tea that the butler had just made, not cold or hot, and there was no mediocrity of lukewarm, the tea was just right.

Wu Ying has been standing in front of the door of the wing room for more than an hour, Lu Li has made many phone calls in this hour, Wu Ying knows that something important must happen, but Wu Ying understands that no matter how big the matter is, he has to wait until he talks about things with Ma Ye.

At this time, the housekeeper quietly whispered a few words on the old man's side, and the old man slowly turned around, got up from the couch and walked over, leaning forward slightly according to the etiquette of the previous dynasty.

"Mr. Wu. ”

"Master Ma, I don't dare to be the boss in front of you. Wu Ying also imitated the old man's salute, but his body bent a little more.

The old man is Ma Ye, and his real name Wu Ying is unknown, but he only knows that this person lives in the capital and has a deep background.

When he first came to the Buddha and met Ji Han, he decided that this child must have extraordinary abilities, so he quickly used the connections he could use, and found relevant organizations to cooperate in just three days.

In fact, the Buddha didn't know anything about this organization at the beginning, what he thought of as an organization was a formal department dedicated to scientific research, but in fact, this organization was just a smuggling syndicate, and the person behind the organization at that time was this Ma Ye. Later, the organization was completely seized by the relevant departments because of the container and the east window incident. But because Ma Ye was only behind the scenes, he did not actually participate, so he did not receive any involvement.

For Ma Ye, investing in this scientific research at the beginning was just to legalize the money obtained from smuggling through relevant scientific research. Wu Ying was just a small follower of Ma Ye at that time, and he was just a little minion in charge of the smuggling group's capital accounts. In the process of investment, Wu Ying took advantage of some loopholes in fund management to fill his private pockets and slowly accumulate the first pot of gold, which led to the later Yingdali Group.

Later, after the smuggling group's east window incident, Wu Ying simply broke away from Ma Ye's organization and fell to Hanjiang City to stand on his own. Relying on the funds to withhold research funds and relying on some of his personal connections in the organization, Wu Ying soon developed Yingdali into the largest enterprise in Hanjiang. Although Ma Ye has not asked about this investment over the years, Wu Ying knows that Ma Ye will understand more or less, but this money is not worth fighting for Ma Ye. After all, Ma Ye's philosophy of life is so-so, and it is rare to be confused.

"This play just now, is it okay?" Ma Ye let Wu Ying into the side room, and returned to the couch by himself, his eyes slightly closed as if he was recuperating.

"Good show, reply to Ma Ye's words. Wu Ying stood up respectfully, bowed deeply, and said.

There are not too many modern furnishings in the wing, and there is a long bench opposite the private tea table, Wu Ying sits in one corner of the bench, and his butt even sits on the bench in that corner a little hung, so that he can get up and talk back at any time. Hearing Ma Ye ask about his play, he hurriedly stood up and answered.

Ma Ye's eyes widened slightly, motioned for Wu Ying to sit down, and then Ma Ye said thoughtfully: "This play, I've listened to it dozens of times, but I still can't tell the good and evil in it, Mr. Wu, tell me, who is good and who is bad in this play?"

Wu Ying was anxious, but he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face, although the drama of changing the tanuki for the prince was popular and widely spread in the streets and alleys, but Wu Ying himself did not like opera, and he had not studied it deeply, so he thought for a moment and got up and replied:

"This great eunuch Guo Huai is a great evil, this Bao Gong is a great loyalty, this Concubine Liu deserves to be punished and dies, and Concubine Li suffers a lot but has a good death. ”

Ma Ye didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and motioned for Wu Ying to sit down again, and after pondering for a while, he continued:

"Everyone in the world is good and good has good and evil repays the reunion finale, I can't imagine that Mr. Wu is so mediocre. ”

Wu Ying didn't sit down, he still stood opposite the private tea table with his head down, patiently listening to Ma Ye's teachings.

"In a small way, you can distinguish between good and evil, and in a big way, you can only talk about success or failure. If there is no Concubine Liu, don't say that this benevolence can be a great thing, but it is just a woman's benevolence. The ancestors of the Ma family have been on errands in the deep palace for many years, and they also know a little about the inhumane rights and wrongs, so they have a so-so family motto, although this family search sounds a little ridiculous, but it contains countless wisdom and truth. ”

Wu Ying thought about it again and again, and said thoughtfully: "Ma Ye taught me a lesson, and the little brother has been taught. ”

Ma Ye quickly glanced at Wu Ying, and saw that Wu Ying looked a little flustered, so he asked:

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, Mr. Wu has something?"

Wu Ying hesitated again and again, fell to his knees with a thud, smashed his head on the ground, and said while kowtowing:

"Master Ma, damn it, I took a lot of money from you on that scientific research project back then, but I didn't actually use that much money at that time. I deserve to die, please punish me. ”

Ma Ye was not too surprised when he saw Wu Ying suddenly kneeling down to him and saying these words, but laughed loudly.

"Wu Ying, Wu Ying, it's rare that you are willing to reveal your heart to me, you must have encountered something!"

Wu Ying saw that Ma Ye did not blame himself for this, but asked about other things, and was shocked in his heart, "Could it be that Ma Ye already knew?"

"Back to Ma Ye, your old man is high, I have indeed encountered some tricky things, so I came to ask for help. Wu Ying stopped kowtowing and knelt in front of the square tea table and looked up at Ma Ye.

From Ma Ye's point of view, the square table covered most of Wu Ying's body, leaving only one head that seemed to be on the tea table.

"Okay, you Wu Ying, you ate me, I don't blame you, now you can come to me to help you in the name of apologies?" Ma Ye had a smile in his eyes, but there was a violent air in his words.

Wu Ying buried his head deep in his arms again, lay down and cried: "Master Ma, Wu Ying knows his mistake, but now this matter is really tricky, and I hope that Master Ma will give me a hand for the sake of me serving you for many years." ”

Ma Ye is not unmissive, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Let's hear it, I'm old and old, and I haven't asked about things outside for a long time, but you might as well come and let me listen, I also want to know what can be difficult to get you Wu Ying, such a vicious person. ”

Hearing Ma Ye call himself a vicious man, Wu Ying raised his head, and there was a hint of a smile on his face. You must know that it was you, a vicious person, who pinched the throat of Wei Ning, the bodyguard who was about to stab Ma Ye, alive, and Wu Ying was stabbed more than a dozen times that time, almost dying. At that time, Ma Ye didn't reward Wu Ying with anything, but just said four words: "Vicious!"

In fact, Wu Ying also guessed that Ma Ye didn't know what he was deducting from it, but he just turned a blind eye and didn't delve into it. However, what he didn't think Ma Ye knew was that after the smuggling organization ended the project, he sold the project to an overseas organization, and obtained a large amount of money.

Wu Ying saw that Ma Ye still remembered that he sacrificed his life to save him, so he became a little presumptuous, and then said:

"After the organization abolished the research project, I saw that the researchers of the project were pitiful, so I found another foreign organization to fund them, but I didn't admit that the research was not a worthless study, but a research that transcended modern science, although I am not sure now, but the research object is very likely to be a demon. ”

"Demon?" Ma Ye smiled and continued to be silent.

"The most terrible thing is that, according to the information I received, the overseas organization that funded it at the beginning seems to have discovered something recently, originally I thought there was no proof of death, but now the experimental subject suddenly appeared again......"

"Bastard!" Ma Ye scolded, suddenly interrupting Wu Ying's words.

"You think I'm smart, do you think I'm not going to know what you're doing? That foreign organization doesn't just belong to a small organization, it's a research project supported by a top foreign consortium, and they can even use the armed forces of many countries in the world, as for the armed forces hidden underneath, we don't know at all. Do you think that the old man can help you mediate?"

Hearing these words, Wu Ying's whole body was cold, he didn't expect that there was such a huge stake behind this.

Ma Ye yawned, his expression gradually returned to calm, and he said:

"People live for a lifetime, so-so, peaceful, and passable. But since you provoked these plague gods, you still have to send them away yourself, the old decay ability is meager, I'm afraid I can't help it. All the things you and I had before have been written off, and we will go our separate ways in the future, so let's clear it!"

Ma Ye closed his eyes and seemed to be really asleep. Wu Ying always felt like an eagle, overlooking the earth, but today he realized that the real eagle was facing the sky, like the tree in the yard, like the horse who seemed to have fallen asleep.

Wu Ying got up from the ground tremblingly, looked at Ma Ye again, bowed deeply, and exited the room.

After Wu Ying walked out of the courtyard, he walked in the box, the sky became more and more gloomy, and a few small snowflakes fell down, this is the first snow in the capital this year, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, but Wu Ying didn't know how to deal with it next, whether he could see next year's harvest year. The snow is falling heavier and heavier, the sky is windy, and the pedestrians on the road are driven faster and faster by the wind and snow. Wu Ying's footsteps are getting heavier and heavier, the snow is not cold, the snow is cold, Wu Ying feels colder and colder, maybe it will be colder tomorrow.
