When Hong Chengchou appeared and spoke, it was when he wanted to visit the man in black.

It was Hong Chengchou's appearance that made him no longer care about the man in black.

And the time when the man in black came out of the restaurant also coincided with Hong Chengchou's appearance.

All of a sudden, Ma Shiying figured out that the person Hong Chengchou met here must be this man in black.

Moreover, the whereabouts of this man in black are secretive, and there must be something unspeakable.

Ma Shiying paused again and again, crying out in her heart for pity.

If I insisted on seeing the face of the man in black first, I am afraid that I would have achieved a great success.

Thinking of this, Ma Shiying hurried downstairs.

After going out, he looked for his two attendants.

At this time, Qian Qianyi had already arrived, and when he saw Ma Shiying coming in a hurry, he thought he was afraid that he was in a hurry.

"Qianyi has seen Ma Xiang."

I don't want Ma Shiying to respond casually: "Forgive me, brother, Ma has an urgent matter to be dealt with, please wait for a while." ”

After speaking, ignoring Qian Qianyi's willingness or unwillingness, he dragged the attendant to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Can you see the appearance of the man in black." ”

"It was too dark, and he lowered his head, and the villain did not see his face."

Ma Shiying secretly sighed with pity and asked, "Then where did this person go?" ”

The attendant pointed to the alley to the west and replied, "The little one saw him go west." ”

To the west, in the direction of Tongji Gate, there are a large number of mansions of important ministers of the imperial court, Wu Zhengguang restored Tianfu, he did not choose a mansion, and as soon as the imperial court moved back, the officials instantly "occupied" a large area of mansions west of Hongwumen.

These houses are close to Hongwu Gate, occupy geographical advantages, highlight their status, and were originally the best choice for dignitaries and dignitaries.

It's just that once the son of heaven was a courtier, the prominent officials and dignitaries of the past have faded in color, how dare they confront today's important ministers?

So the family moved in disgrace.

Ma Shiying sighed again and again at this time, he knew that he wanted to track down the whereabouts of the man in black, and there was no hope for this.

If there is no shadow and no boundary, can you still dare to search the mansion of the important ministers of the imperial court?

If that's the case, Ma Shiying is afraid that he will become the target of everyone in an instant.

Ma Shiying shook his head, and when he turned around, he had already changed his smiling face.

"Brother of Labor has been waiting for a long time."

Qian Qianyi smiled slightly, he smiled strangely.

In fact, he entered the restaurant from the main entrance, and accidentally saw the man in black, which felt a little familiar, which aroused curiosity.

After snooping, Qian Qianyi broke out in a cold sweat.

Later, after following the man in black, hearing the noise at the south gate, and finding Ma Shiying, he thought about it, so he went out of the north gate again and turned to the south gate, as if he had just arrived.

At this time, Hong Chengchou left, and soon saw Ma Shiying appear, even a fool could guess that the two must have been together before.

So what to say? Qian Qianyi smiled meaningfully, today I have met two people who have a private meeting with Hong Chengchou.

Seeing Qian Qianyi's demeanor, Ma Shiying coughed slightly embarrassed and said, "Brother Acceptance, please come in and speak." ”

Qian Qianyi bowed his hand and humbly said, "Ma Xiang, please first." ”

Back in the room, Ma Shiying asked the store to re-serve a table of wine and food.

Qian Qianyi felt a little strange in his heart, where did Ma Shiying sing?

If you don't even have a hint of taboos, aren't you afraid that the matter of meeting with Hong Chengchou in private will spread out?

Look at Ma Shiying's calm appearance...... Could it be that he was ordered by the imperial court to discuss official affairs with Hong Chengchou?

In this way, Qian Qianyi didn't think much about it.

But who knows, Ma Shiying has been thinking about the man in black, and he has neglected Qian Qianyi at all.

Ma Shiying raised his glass and invited: "The brother of labor has been waiting for a long time, Shiying is full of drinking this cup, even if he is making amends to the brother of the recipient." ”

Qian Qianyi hurriedly raised his glass and got up and said: "Ma Xiang is polite, speaking of which, a few years ago, Qianyi's kindness recommended by Ma Xiang has not been reported yet, how dare he be Ma Xiang's reparation?" ”

Ma Shiying smiled and said, "It's been so long, what do you remember about Brother Shou?" ”

Qian Qianyi said solemnly: "The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, if you don't repay the kindness, how is it different from the beast?" ”

"Good, good! The brother who received it is indeed a person who values love and righteousness, come, sit down and talk. ”

"Horses, please."

After Qian Qianyi sat down, he asked tentatively: "Today, Ma Xiang summoned Qian to come here, I don't know what to see?" ”

Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi paused and continued: "When Qian was waiting for Ma Xiang outside the restaurant, he saw Bachelor Hong going out...... I was going to come forward to say hello, but I thought that I wanted to go to the horse to meet, and second, after all, each was its master, and it was not good to be too close, so I didn't say hello. ”

Ma Shiying sighed in her heart, and then she came back to her heart, and she didn't think about it.

However, Ma Shiying was not worried, after all, he was assigned by Wu Zheng, so he responded with a smile: "Ma and Master Hong are also a bit of incense, and now that the negotiations are deadlocked, Ma wants to explore the reality of the Qing court in private." ”

Qian Qianyi looked at Ma Shiying's eyes, and saw that Ma Shiying's expression was calm, not like a lie, and secretly said that maybe he was really thinking too much.

So he smiled: "Ma is hard." ”

Ma Shi Hero shook his hand and said, "It's a matter of time." Today, I invite the brother to come, and there is nothing else important, I just want to ask the brother who received it, and the brother who received it came to the house that day, and asked Ma Xiang to seconded the impeachment and dismissal of the main envoy of the Zhenguo Gong negotiations...... Hehe. ”

Qian Qianyi opened his mouth wide, daring to be affectionate, this Ma Yaocao invited herself to come today, just to urge the remuneration due that day?

It's really a coffin to reach out and ask for money!

Qian Qianyi scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was still like a spring breeze and said: "Ma Xiang rest assured, the 30,000 taels promised by Qian will be sent to the house tomorrow." ”

Ma Shiying suddenly smiled and bent her eyes, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just asking casually, I invited the brother to come today, just to have a good time with the brother of the recipient and conspire to get drunk." ”

After Qian Qianyi guessed Ma Shiying's thoughts today, a table of delicacies was like chewing wax.

After drinking two cups, Qian Qianyi thought about leaving.

How could Ma Shiying not see it, just as Qian Qianyi was about to get up, he suddenly said: "It is rumored that the public service of Zhenguo is in Sheji, but he was dismissed by the cabinet ministers, and they all say that some of us and others have been ...... by the Qing court Cough, brother of acceptance, to be honest, Ma couldn't sleep at night. Before you said that this was what Shoufu meant, Ma didn't want to ask Shoufu to verify this matter in person at that time. But now people's words are terrible, and in order to prove my innocence, I can only confirm it with my brother. ”

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "Ma Xiang must not talk lightly about rumors, Qian Mou was indeed driven by the first assistant to come to Ma Xiang for help." Qian can swear to heaven that I will never collude with the Qing court in private. ”

Ma Shiying squinted at Qian Qianyi and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Brother Shou, Ma is naturally convinced of Brother Shou in his heart, but his words are terrifying...... You also know that Ma has a ...... reputation in the market It's unbearable, if you are guilty of treason again, it will be terrible. If there is something offended, I hope that the brother who receives it will not be blamed. ”
