The first time I went to see the prefect of Hangzhou, this gift is indispensable. Wang Laohu inquired that this prefect does not love sex, he is old, he can't bear it, he doesn't come to gamble, he prefers money, this is something that most people like, and it is exactly what Wang Laohu does not lack.

Wang Laohu took four personal guards and went to the prefect of Hangzhou.

The prefect of Hangzhou is surnamed Ma. In the name ceremony, people are like their names, and they only come and go in the ceremony. Wang Laohu went to visit, but Ma Zhifu did not come to greet him, but just called a housekeeper to come out to greet him, the housekeeper's surname was Zheng, forty or fifty years old.

came to the inner hall of the prefect's mansion, the prefect of Ma was not in the hall, this is what Wang Laohu expected, this prefect is a few official ranks, how can I see you, a little common man, it is good to be able to meet you.

Wang Laohu sat down on a board, and a little maid brought a cup of tea. Steward Zheng said: "Master Ma has something to deal with, Prince Wang, you sit down for a while, Master Ma will come as soon as he finishes his business." ”

Wang Laohu smiled, whether this Lord Ma is doing serious or idle things, I have to wait: "There is a housekeeper Lao Zheng." ”

Steward Zheng stepped back first.

Wang Laohu drank a cup of tea, drank another cup, got up from his position, paced back and forth, and sat down again and did not see Master Ma come out.

It seems that this Lord Ma's official authority is quite great.

Steward Zheng came up to the hall again: "Prince Wang, I've kept you waiting for a long time, Master Ma is really busy with this matter, and he hasn't been busy yet, you see?" The implication is to let Wang Laohu come back tomorrow

"Ma Daren is indeed very busy, but I will leave Hangzhou City tomorrow, so I ......" Wang Laohu was a little embarrassed, and a personal guard took out a bag of coins and secretly stuffed it into the hand of Steward Zheng. Steward Zheng pretended to excuse himself, and after a few clicks, he put it in his pocket.

"Wang Gongzi, I'll help you take a look, maybe Master Ma has already finished taking care of things." Steward Zheng said.

Master Ma was leisurely playing chess, humming a little song in his mouth. Steward Zheng came to the back hall and saluted: "Master Ma, that prince has been waiting in the hall for two hours, see if you want to meet him." ”

"I just want to kill his arrogance, how can I be so easy to enter the prefect's mansion." Ma Zhifu Road.

"Yes, yes, Master Ma is wise and martial. But the prince has a lot of filial piety. ”

"Does he dare not come to pay respects? When he asked me to do something, he dared not come to honor me. ”

"Yes, yes, this time he came to the door in person, presumably there must be something to ask for, why don't you go out and meet?"

"It's almost time, and when I'm dressed, I'll go see him."

Within a few minutes, Steward Zheng came to the hall with Master Ma, Wang Laohu got up and saluted Lord Ma, and the two sat down.

"As the parent official of Hangzhou City, Master Ma works day and night, and has all kinds of opportunities every day, but you have to pay attention to your body."

"As the parent official of Hangzhou, this official should seek a blessing for the people of Hangzhou. It's just that the official feels that what he has done is not enough. ”

"But along the way, I found that the people of Hangzhou City are thriving, living and working in peace and contentment, and a peaceful scene, which is all the credit of Lord Ma, and Hangzhou City has Lord Ma in charge, which is the blessing of the people."

"Where, where, the official who said Wang Gongzi can't sit still" Although he said this, people always love to listen to good words, and this heart is already happy.

"Master Ma, I think Hangzhou City has everything, and there is one thing that needs to be improved."

"Wang Gongzi, what do you think needs to be improved?" Master Ma was a little displeased.

"As a parent official, Ma Daren sees the suffering of the people, while as a businessman, I only see business opportunities."

"Then you talk to me about it, but there are any business opportunities."

"I opened a clothing workshop in our small county, specializing in the production and sale of women's clothing, with large sales and bright prospects, and I see that Hangzhou City just lacks such a sales store."

"Wang Gongzi's vision is really unique, and his mind is beyond ordinary people, but this Hangzhou City wants to open such a sales store, and this approval is ......."

Wang Laohu knows about this approval matter, there are many insiders, if you don't give some benefit fees, you can't do things" Master Ma didn't say, I also understood that this approval matter, large and small, has to run more than a dozen departments, and this point is indispensable. Wang Laohu said, "Come on, bring the things." ”

A personal guard took a few boxes of gift bags, and Steward He took them and put them on the table.

Master Ma seems to be unhappy with the benefit fee, and these small gifts also want to be sent away, "Wang Gongzi, I think there are some problems with your new sales, and we have a big ...... Da Ming ...... "When Lord Ma said this, Wang Laohu opened a gift box, and the gift box was full of shiny coins, which caused Lord Ma's mouth to stutter a little, "Although Da Ming didn't have it, can it also create a precedent." ”

"Don't worry, if the store makes money, I won't forget about it."

"Wang Gongzi is really a smart person, and he is a worthy friend of my Ma."

"Master Ma, tomorrow I will go to the capital to visit some old friends, and I will hand over the business of Hangzhou City to my insiders, and Lord Ma will take care of it."

"Wang Gongzi seems to be very busy, and this business is also very big, I don't know which friends are visiting in the capital?"

"Master Ma seems to care about me very much, and there is no one, that is, Lord Li, Lord Zhao, and Lord Cao from Xingbu; There are also Lord Wang, Lord Qi, and Lord Huangfu of the Ministry of War. And ......"

Lord Ma was already dumbfounded when he heard it, these bigwigs in the capital, you know one who is already very powerful, Wang Laohu said so much at once, it seems. This king tiger is not simple.

"I heard that Lord Ding has been arrested and imprisoned? Is this true? Ma Zhifu asked.

"Lord Ding was arrested and imprisoned for plotting rebellion."

"Does Wang Gongzi think this Lord Ding really wants to rebel?"

"Lord Ding is dedicated to the people, and he is a clean official like Lord Ma, how can he rebel and cause chaos, there must be a misunderstanding in this, so I went to the capital this time to understand this matter clearly."

"Wang Gongzi, this rebellion is a big crime, and others can't avoid it, why do you still make up for it?"

"I also know the power of this, but everyone is a friend, how can you sit idly by and watch if something happens to a friend, besides, this Lord Ding is a well-known Qing official, and the official has not come up with decent evidence of rebellion, I think there must be a misunderstanding in this."

"Wang Gongzi's friend is worth it."

"Master Ma, when my clothing shop opened, you remember to attend the opening ceremony."

"Wang Gongzi invited me so warmly, even if I am busy, I will definitely come to participate."

"That's it."

Seeing Wang Laohu leave the mansion, Ma Zhifu opened a gift box again, full of shiny coins: "This Wang Laohu, it's not simple, maybe, it won't be long before it will be above my official position." ”

Wang fu.

Cheng Cheng also came back, she was angry, this Qian Kebai was the same as his son, and he was not an easy person.

"Miss Cheng Cheng, I can't stand this anger."

"Childe, it turns out that you already knew about it, and let Sister Cheng Cheng go." Qingqing Road.

"Some things have to be experienced to become clearer, since this Qian Kebai is so ignorant, don't blame me. Miss Cheng Cheng, you don't have to pay attention to this money, I want to know the reaction of this Qian Liangyu. ”

"Qian Liangyu still seems to hold a grudge against me, it seems that this person is very stingy." Cheng Chengdao.

Wang Laohu pondered, will this Qian Liangyu do it when he is no longer there? If so, how do you deal with it?

"Miss Cheng Cheng, this matter of Bian Yifang, you and Miss Qingqing and Uncle Bian hurry up and prepare for it, and strive to open it as soon as possible, I have already contacted the prefect of Ma, and when it opens, call him, which is good for our business."

At night.

Wang Laohu, Rong Yu, Zhang Zheng, Pan Tai.

"Childe, you are going to leave for the capital tomorrow, do you have anything else to explain?" Zhang Zhengdao.

"In this way, tomorrow Rong Yu, Pan Tai and I will go to the capital, and I will only bring four personal guards to go, and the rest will stay here for Zhang Zheng to send."

"Childe, but don't worry about that Qian Liangyu?" Zhang Zheng asked.

Wang Laohu didn't answer, "Zhang Zheng, can you master the use of carrier pigeons?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, I only know a little bit."

"Pan Tai, you and Rong Yu go and prepare, prepare to go to the capital tomorrow, your brother will stay here, don't go."

Pan Tai and Rong Yu quit.

"Zhang Zheng, I feel that something is going to happen in this Hangzhou City, especially this Qian Liangyu. Now the number of Hangzhou City special forces is small plus male and female guards, there are only more than 30 people, this Qian Liangyu's subordinates are full of talents, if he comes to make trouble, remember, don't have a head-on conflict, if you can't avoid it, I will secretly cripple him, pay attention, be clean and neat, don't make trouble. ”

"Childe, I made a note of it."

"Also, that young girl has good archery skills, the special team will find a few brothers who are sharp, let them learn this crossbow well, and we will set up a sniper team, so that we can kill the enemy from a distance, and there will be no such thing as Ruyi girl."
