"Deputy Envoy Ma, why did you come to Yiqiumen today to find your brother? Since Deputy Envoy Ma was transferred to the Infantry Division, we haven't seen each other for two years. I heard that Deputy Envoy Ma became the deputy commander of the Guards Infantry Division, which is really prosperous. The brother wanted to go to congratulate, but he was afraid of being a sycophant, so he didn't go to congratulate. Please also ask Deputy Envoy Ma to forgive me! ”

Feng Yuan can talk, and after meeting, he began to explain that he had not met Ma Bin for several years. Ma Bin was kind to him back then, and Ma Bin was promoted, but it was actually unreasonable for him not to congratulate him. When I saw Ma Bin, I felt a little weak.

Ma Bin waved his hand and smiled: "What is this?" I don't care about that. But in fact, I am still a little unhappy with the estrangement of my brothers. Back then, I was the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division, and I was so happy to laugh and laugh with your brothers. Later, everyone had their own things, and I went to work in the Guards Infantry Division, and the old brothers also had their own places to go. I was both happy and a little sad. Happily, my Imperial City Division has spread its branches, and all the brothers have taken root and sprouted in all directions, each with its own achievements, and they have all been promoted to become wealthy. That's a good thing. Sadly, there is much less contact between the brothers. I think the happy days when we drank together and ran errands together are no longer there. However, that's fine, you have to mix it up, don't you? You can't mix in the Imperial City Division for the rest of your life, so it's useless, isn't it? ”

Feng Yuan nodded and praised: "Deputy Envoy Ma is still as considerate of his brothers as he was at the beginning. The brothers were ashamed. Deputy Envoy Ma came to see his brother tonight, but he didn't know why he came? Deputy Envoy Ma is in an important position and busy with military affairs, how could he suddenly come to see his brother? ”

Ma Bin smiled: "What? Can't I come and see you? I heard that you entered the Guards Ma Military Division and became a captain. No, I stopped by to congratulate you. ”

Ma Bin spoke, reaching out and groping in his arms. Lin Jue, who was beside him, took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Ma Bin, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the things are here." ”

Ma Bin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help admiring Lin Jue's quick wit. He was just putting on a show, but Lin Jue immediately took out the silver ticket and counted it. Feng Yuan accepted the silver ticket, so it would be easy to do things.

Looking at the stack of silver tickets handed over by Ma Bin, Feng Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How dare you, your brother didn't go to congratulate you when you were promoted, how dare you accept your congratulatory gifts?" ”

Ma Bin was dumbfounded: "Is it too little?" Isn't it...... One thousand taels...... Silver? What is this? ”

Ma Bin glanced at the denomination and number of the silver ticket, and felt a little pain in his heart. Lin Jue was really generous, and the ten silver tickets were all one hundred taels of denominations, which was a thousand taels of silver. This congratulatory gift is also too heavy. Of course, it is a good deal to buy the path of this city gate.

Feng Yuan refused, but the temptation of this thousand taels of silver was really not small. Through Ma Bin's words, he took it over, and said in his mouth: "So...... But it was disrespectful, and the brother laughed at it. Hey, how is this good? actually asked Deputy Envoy Ma to break the fee. I didn't say it, another day the brothers will be the east, and our brothers will have a good time. ”

Ma Bin smiled and said, "Okay, I also have this intention." ”

Feng Yuan kicked the silver ticket in his arms and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Ma said that he had something to ask his brother for help. But I don't know what it is. As long as the brother can help, it must be a matter of words. ”

After winning the silver tael, Feng Yuan's attitude was very different. took the initiative to ask about the purpose of Ma Bin's visit. This is the power of silver. When taking people's money, it is natural to take the initiative.

Ma Bin smiled: "It's not a big deal. I just learned that my brother is on duty in Yiqiumen, and I want to ask you to be accommodating. Well, I have a friend from a rich family who lives in the inner city. You should have heard of it, too, there is a lot of commotion and chaos in the inner city. This friend of mine is more timid and afraid of disaster. So the whole family packed up and wanted to go out of the city overnight to the country manor to avoid trouble. He begged to come to me, and I didn't want to make too much noise, so I took their family out of the city from Yiqiumen. After inquiring about it, he knew that it was Brother Feng who was guarding the city gate here, so he came to ask my brother to make it convenient for my friend's family to go out of the inner city from here. ”

Feng Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and frowned: "Deputy Envoy Ma, Privy Envoy Yang has issued a strict order, and all city gates are forbidden to enter and exit. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Otherwise, the loan will be severely punished. You must have received this order. Why do you risk taking people out of town? Yang Shumi is not easy to mess with, knowing this, I am afraid that he will be dealt with by military law. ”

Ma Bin smiled: "Yes." I naturally knew Lord Yang's order, and I was supposed to be on duty at Xishuimen tonight, but I had other duties temporarily. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Brother Feng. I knew there was some risk in this, otherwise I wouldn't have come to discuss it with my brother. Based on the relationship between Brother Feng and me, I think this is not a matter of one sentence? ”

Feng Yuan frowned and shook his head and said, "Deputy Envoy Ma, it's not your brother who refutes your face. I'm afraid this is not easy to do. If this matter is known, it is going to lose its head. Not only did I dare not be accommodating, but I also advised Deputy Envoy Ma not to do this. Today's order is strict, Yang Jun is not good at talking, your friend is staying at home, hundreds of thousands of people in the inner city have not left the city, what is he afraid of? ”

The smile on Ma Bin's face slowly disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Feng, is there less silver?" I'll give you some more silver, and you can stop your brothers. It's just a trivial matter, so why worry about it? ”

Feng Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is not a matter of silver, it turns out that this thousand taels of silver is not a congratulatory gift, but a purchase of road silver." Then I don't dare to take this money. The deputy envoy of the silver horse took it back, and the Ming people between our brothers don't say secret words, I really can't do this matter. ”

Feng Yuan said solemnly, reached into his arms and took out the ten silver tickets and handed them back.

Ma Bin's face became extremely gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Feng Lao Liu, are you not giving me face?" I, Ma Bin, are not thin on you. You don't want to think about where you are today, who saved you from disaster in the first place? Five years ago, when you were still in the Imperial City Division, when you were on an errand, you lost your morality after drinking, raped and killed a woman in Dongcheng, and was recognized and sued Kaifeng Mansion. Who knelt in front of Lao Tzu at that time and begged for accommodation. I relied on being scolded by the leader, and I took care of you up and down, and comforted the woman's relatives for you, and finally the people agreed to compensate the silver two and no longer pursue it, and you were able to get out. Otherwise, murder will pay for your life, and you will be beheaded after the autumn. Anyway, I, Ma Bin, also saved your life, everything you have now, although you have grown a little, but if I hadn't fished you out at the beginning, your grave would have been overgrown with thatch. Now I come to beg you for such a trivial matter, but you are pretending to be a grandson with me. Feng Lao Liu, you really turned your face and didn't recognize people. ”

Feng Yuan's face was red, this incident was a stain on his life, that year he went on an errand, got lustful after drinking, and raped and killed a woman. When you wake up, you can't destroy it. When it seemed that there was no way to live, it was Ma Bin, who was still the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division at that time, who brought a group of brothers to intercede for him, and the relationship was accommodating. In the end, although Feng Yuan went bankrupt and spent all his solid family wealth, he also saved his life and settled the matter.

This incident had a great impact on Feng Yuan, and he had been getting rid of the influence of this incident on him for a long time, which was why he later tried every means to enter the Guards Ma Jun Division as a forbidden army, that is, to leave the original circle and avoid being mentioned about this matter. And cut off contact with Ma Bin and others, and even Ma Bin was promoted, he didn't go to congratulate him, largely because he didn't want to face Ma Bin and others anymore, because it was easy to remind himself of that ugly incident.

After that, Feng Yuanan kept to himself and acted cautiously, but he ended up with a good reputation. In the past two years, Lian has been promoted, and he has also become the number one person in a platoon in the Ma Jun Division. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to guard the gates.

But at this moment, Ma Bin said this mercilessly, reprimanded him for being ungrateful, and taught him to feel guilty and annoyed. Now is different from the past, he is already a gatekeeper lieutenant in the Guards Ma Military Division, and he can be regarded as a middle-level general, with a head and a face. Although Ma Bin's official rank is several levels higher than his own, the Guard Infantry Division is the second of the three major yamen, and he is not his own boss, and he also uses this matter to count himself, which makes Feng Yuan a little annoyed and angry.

"Deputy Envoy Ma, I Feng Yuan remember the kindness of the year, and every time I think of it, I am grateful. But is Deputy Envoy Ma going to use that incident to blackmail me? This order to defend the city was issued by Yang Shumi, not a brother, I refuse to help, this matter is going to lose my head. Does Deputy Envoy Ma not care about his brother's life or death? Deputy Envoy Ma, one yard to one yard, Feng Yuan naturally felt the previous things, but now this is official business, Feng Yuan does not dare to show favoritism. I also asked Deputy Envoy Ma to bear with me. Take the money. Please ask Deputy Envoy Ma and his entourage to go down to the city for their own convenience. Feng Yuan said coldly.

Ma Bin glared at Feng Yuan, and suddenly laughed and said, "I often hear that there are ungrateful people in this world, but today I saw it." If you use it, you will be called your grandfather, and if you are not needed, you will be pushed out. How can there be such a person as you? If I hadn't thought you were a good person, how could I have tried to avenge you. It's better for you to rape and kill women and beasts, and I feel ashamed of others and ruined my reputation when I save your life. But in exchange for your face. It's just that I, Ma Bin, don't know anyone. ”

Feng Yuan said coldly: "It's useless to talk more, please ask Deputy Envoy Ma to leave the city quickly." ”

Ma Bin laughed and said, "You do the first year of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth." You are unkind, and I am unjust. I saved your life, and I can get it back. Dog's day, shameless for face. ”

Ma Bin's voice fell, and he suddenly became difficult. Zong stepped forward and reached for Feng Yuan's collar. Feng Yuan was already on guard, dodged behind his body, and shouted, "What are you doing?" It has to be a rebellion. I suspect that Yang Shu sealed and locked the city gate just to guard against you. ”

Ma Bin scolded: "Holy shit, you guessed right. ”
