Here, Han Da calmed down the incident, and immediately arranged for carriages and horses, and asked his subordinates to seal some small red envelopes for the soldiers. Then, he took Zhou Zheng and went to General Ma's mansion together. And those soldiers and men were all attached to the back of the two of them, not letting them out of their sight.

Although Pingjiang Mansion City is not small, it is the same as Jinshui Town, rich people love to get together, and they will never be neighbors with the poor. And the Han family firm is already in the most prosperous place in Pingjiang Mansion, not far from General Ma's mansion. Therefore, in just over a quarter of an hour, Zhou Zheng and his party arrived in front of the Mafu Gate.

Han Da and Zhou Zheng got out of the car, and he introduced Zhou Zheng: "This is General Ma's mansion." ”

Zhou Zheng took a look, only to see that against the background of the prosperity around him, the Mafu looked a little cramped and old, and it was not as grand as he imagined. If it is compared with the houses of the Han and Li families in Jinshui Town, it will be even more like a little sparrow seeing an eagle, and it can't even compare to other people's eggs.

But after thinking about it again, Zhou Zheng also understood. Pingjiang Prefecture has always been peaceful, there is basically no military activity, and the garrison commander naturally has no chance to gain power. In addition, General Ma's top boss is the fast son-in-law of the Kunshan Wang family, and he is a dragon crossing the river with full color, and it is easy to eat his local loach. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for a person surnamed Ma to buy a house in the center of Pingjiang Mansion, and no matter how big it is, it is beyond his ability.

Han Da on the side didn't know that Zhou Zheng's mind was turning so quickly, and said bitterly: "I have some old feelings with General Ma, and since Chinese New Year's Eve, I have also given a lot of gifts. You wait for the door first, I'll go inside and make a front stop, and when everything is done, I'll have someone call you. When you meet General Ma, you have to remember that you must lower your posture, otherwise you and I will not have good fruit to eat. ”

Zhou Zheng was a little helpless, but still nodded silently. Seeing that he had no objections, Han Da arched his hand to the soldiers outside and said hello: "Everyone, I will go to see General Ma, and I hope you will wait." ”

said that it was a wait, but in fact, it was to let the soldiers pay attention to it and stop contradicting Zhou Zheng. In the eyes of the soldiers, no matter what the result is, anyway, when Zhou Zheng arrives in Mafu, that is when they complete the task. Moreover, they have received the red envelopes from the Han family, and they are all satisfied, so they are naturally full of praise and are happy to watch the play.

In this way, Han Da saw that everything was ready, so he straightened his appearance and walked to the door of Mafu. He said to the guards guarding the door: "Two military masters, I am Han Da of the Han family in Jinshui Town, and I have some old friendship with your general. ”

The two guards actually knew Han Da, so they didn't make it difficult, and replied: "Uncle Han, then please wait a while, and we will let people go in and report." But there is one thing I have to tell you first, that is, the angel who announced the decree arrived yesterday afternoon, and it is the most favored eunuch today, Ma Hongjun and Ma Gonggong. At the reception banquet, this father-in-law Ma hit it off with our general, so he lived in our house. Therefore, the rules in this house have changed slightly, and everything is afraid of colliding with Ma Gonggong. Therefore, we can give you a general message, but now the people in the house are mainly Ma Gonggong's people making ideas, and I am afraid to see or not to see. ”

"Ah......h

When Han Da heard the news, he was also stunned. He has always been well-informed, and he also knows that Ma Gonggong has arrived in Pingjiang Mansion. But he didn't expect that Ma Gonggong would be attacked by General Ma so quickly, and he also lived in Ma's mansion. But when he thought about it again, he was surprised, but it was okay to do that. Whether it is him or Zhou Zheng, he has no enmity with Ma Gonggong in the past and no injustice in the near future, and he will not have twists and turns because of this.

Besides, eunuchs have always been open-minded about money. As a representative of the local squire, Han Da had the duty to meet with Ma Gonggong and express the "heart" of the local people. At this time, although this "heart" has not yet been expressed, everyone knows in their hearts that this "heart" will arrive sooner or later, and it is expected that Ma Gonggong's people will not make it difficult.

Sure enough, just like Han Da thought. When the house heard that it was the local squire of Pingjiang Mansion who came to visit General Ma, he did not stop him, and Han Da entered the mansion so smoothly.

After entering the Ma Mansion, Han Da went to General Ma's study under the guidance of Jia Ding. And General Ma was also very face-saving, he had prepared melons and fruits and refreshments, and welcomed Han Da in with a smile.

"Uncle Han, rare guest, what kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blew you here."

"Isn't there something to ask for at your door?"

"You're slapping me in the face, can we brothers use the word 'begging'? It's so out-of-this, I don't even treat my horse someone as a brother! ”

"Seeing that you are going to be promoted, there are more things to beg you for in the future, so I will practice first."

"Hahahaha, you who have read books are good at everything, but you are too polite. Come on, don't stand outside, come in and sit down, let's sit down. "Han Da is a person, so General Ma said this.

Han Da humbled for a while, sat down with a smile, organized his language, and said tentatively: "General Ma, you are now proud of the spring breeze, and everything is going well?" ”

When General Ma heard this, he burst out laughing, and there was a smile on his oily face that couldn't be hidden, but he still pretended to be modest: "What's this, it's vulgar to talk about what spring breeze is proud." Those of us who eat the emperor's food, right, a brave and loyal only knows loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, where is the accounting more than what personal gains and losses? What doesn't exist, what doesn't exist! ”

"Yes, yes, depending on your realization." Han Da sneered twice in his heart, still with a sincere smile on his face, and three points of sincere shame: "Alas, I was originally an aspiring scholar, but in recent years, I have become a businessman and made a copper smell, which is far inferior to you." ”

"You're laughing, and you don't work in public, so you don't have to think about this." After praising each other, Commander Ma took a sip of tea, and then asked the topic: "Uncle Han, tell me, why did you come to the door this time?" ”

Han Da saw that General Ma had said something, so he no longer concealed it, and talked about Zhou Zheng: "This Zhou Zheng Zhou Xiaolangjun is a relative of my family and a nephew of my mother. During this year, he was supposed to come to my house for the New Year, but he met a robber, and he lost his belongings, not to mention that he didn't even have a memory. Our family also searched for him a lot before they got him back.

Somehow, just now, a group of soldiers stormed my family's trading house, saying that they were going to arrest Zhou Zheng. That's why I came to you to ask, I don't know how he offended you? If you can, I just hope that you don't remember the villain and let him go. ”

It is quite clear when he says this, that is, Han Da wants to protect Zhou Zheng. Of course, it is impossible to calm General Ma's anger for no reason, and there must be some blood. Han Da doesn't care about this, he has a lot of filial piety in the official face all year round, not a little more.

If you really want to say that there is a so-called, even if Han Da said something, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know how General Ma would reply to him. He was really afraid that General Ma would slap the table and say "no way". However, according to what Zhou Zheng said, according to the logic of Han Da, things should not come to this point.

According to Han Da's thoughts, now that General Ma has been rewarded, but he has not yet transferred the actual officials, he should stop there. If he is now taking any strange undead creatures to sacrifice, it will seem too deliberate and suspicious of being a showman. So whether General Ma is going to arrest Yuan Zijiu or target Zhou Zheng, it should be just to export his evil anger. In other words, there should be no irresolvable contradictions between the two, it is purely a battle of will. And the battle of wills, as long as one party is willing to give in, it can be easily resolved.

But it's useless to think clearly, after all, the decision of the matter is still in the hands of General Ma. Han Da said his excuse, but he was still a little worried in his heart, smiling and waiting for General Ma's reaction. I saw that as soon as he heard the word Zhou Zheng, he frowned, his face sank like water, and his face was very ugly.

These fell into Han Da's eyes, which made his heart half cold, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that I miscalculated, this surnamed Ma actually holds a grudge against Zhou Zheng?" No, the surname Ma has always been interested in the first place, and he is by no means a person who wants to save face, what's going on today, is there still a secret? ”

General Ma didn't speak, still frowning and thinking there, while Han Da was worried and didn't dare to bother. The atmosphere in the study seemed to freeze, cold and heavy.

After a long while, General Ma slowly spoke, but the tone and demeanor of this speech were completely beyond Han Da's expectations-

"Well, it's just a little bit of a thing, and it's really shocking that you made it so formal." General Ma is like a chameleon, with a fat and oily face like pork belly, but it is still cloudy and cloudy, and this time the clouds are raining and the sun is shining, and even seems to have a little rainbow: "This group of soldiers, let me tell you, are all temporarily transferred, and they don't obey my command at all." When did I send someone to arrest Brother Zhou, there is no such thing! We are all family, how could I possibly do that? What doesn't exist, what doesn't exist! ”

"Huh?"

I can't complain that Han Da can't figure it out, it's really the world changing too fast. If he hadn't seen a soldier arrest Zhou Zheng with his own eyes, he might have really believed General Ma's words. General Kema is now proud, he is a popular fried chicken in Pingjiang Mansion, and the lord of the mansion doesn't say let it, at least he respects him for three points. What kind of person and what is it that made Master Ma change his mind and become his own family with Zhou Zheng?

"What the hell is going on?" Han Dabai was puzzled, but soon he understood.
