Summary of the previous chapter: At the same time as Wei Zhongxian recruited troops, the information was also mastered by Ma Xiaoquan

+++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his temples and exhaled a long breath.

In any case, Gu Bingqian and Wei Guanghui are now Wei Zhongxian's people, although these two people have nothing to do with themselves, but if they become Wei Zhongxian's people, they may go to the opposite side of themselves.

And what makes Ma Xiaoquan even more jealous is that one of these two is the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, such a high-ranking and powerful person is much more difficult to deal with than other small characters.

At this moment, Li Qinghan pushed the door in, saw Ma Xiaoquan's sad face, and asked, "Ma Xiaoquan, what's wrong, have you encountered anything difficult?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, shook his head and said: "It's true, and it's a tricky problem, um~~ But fortunately, the current information is in my first-hand hands, and then, it depends on what I do."

Li Qinghan walked over, picked up a page on the table, read it, and said, "Wei Guanghui? Is this person a bad person? ”

Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Li Qinghan and said, "Shouldn't he be a bad person?" ”

Li Qinghan shook his head: "Ma Xiaoquan, I don't think Wei Guanghui is a bad person, I should say that he is a good bad person." ”

"Good bad guys? What do you mean? Ma Xiaoquan looked at Li Qinghan, it was the first time he had heard such a term.

Li Qinghan explained: "The word good and bad guy is still what my grandfather said to me when he was there, and the general meaning is that if such a person is polite to him and good to him, he can also be polite to you and good to you, but if you persecute him again and again or disagree with him, such a person may become a bad person." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I see~ I understand, Qinghan, do you mean to let me meet this Wei Guanghui?" ”

Li Qinghan snorted: "Ma Xiaoquan, your goal is to make the Ma family rise, so on the way to rise, if you can make as few enemies as possible, try to make as few enemies as possible, although I don't know what your ultimate goal is, but I still hope that everyone will be harmonious." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "What you said is reasonable, okay, then I will go to visit Wei Guanghui tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan set off to visit Wei Guanghui at the Ministry of Rites.

Ma Xiaoquan is a second-grade deacon, Wei Guanghui is a second-grade Shangshu, the two of them are both second-grade officials, and there is no concept of superiority and superiority, but Wei Guanghui is the head of a department after all, according to today's official equivalence, he is a deputy state-level official, so no matter what, after Wei Guanghui sees Ma Xiaoquan, he will have some small shelves.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't mind letting the other party play tricks, because what Li Qinghan said was very right, and in the conversation with Wei Guanghui, Ma Xiaoquan felt that this person could indeed be a good person, and he could definitely become a bad person.

The most direct way to mingle with people in the Ministry of Rites, or with people you don't know well, is to give them some "small gifts" or benefits.

The Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of Rites was direct when they saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites giving gifts, and the "small" gifts that Ma Xiaoquan took were not only not small, but very large.

Of course, the gift must also have a level, if ~ naked ~~ to send, I am afraid it will be difficult to send out, maybe there will be no way from this, so Ma Xiaoquan decided to dilute the action of "sending".

After chatting with Wei Guanghui for a quarter of an hour, Ma Xiaoquan naturally took out a pair of jade pieces from his sleeve pocket.

Wei Guanghui is a relatively tall person, and he likes to compare himself to jade, not only that, he prefers to play with jade, and he has some attainments in the study of jade and jade.

Ma Xiaoquan deliberately "shakes" out the jade handle, which seems to be inadvertent, but it is actually designed by him. Since Wei Guanghui likes jade so much, then I will seduce you, hum~~ Sure enough, after Wei Guanghui glanced at the jade handle in Ma Xiaoquan's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Lord Deacon, what you have in your hand, but the jade handle?" Wei Guanghui raised his eyebrows and asked Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Actually, I don't know, this is also an occasional get, Lord Wei, I don't know how to play jade, I heard that adults are quite good at playing this, so I brought it for adults to help take a look." Ma Xiaoquan said, handing the jade piece to Wei Guanghui.

Wei Guanghui took the jade handle from Ma Xiaoquan's hand with bright eyes, first took it in his hand and weighed it, and then looked at the bright place again and again, looking like he couldn't put it down.

Ma Xiaoquan was secretly happy in his heart, and when he saw Wei Guanghui's appearance, he smiled and said, "Lord Wei, how is this jade handle?" ”

Wei Guanghui shook his head and praised him: "Good things, good things, Lord Deacon, this jade piece is more than five hundred taels, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, five hundred taels? Five hundred taels, you buy a JB, this jade piece cost you Ma Ye and me a thousand taels of silver.

Thinking so, Ma Xiaoquan buttoned it up and said: "Ouch, Lord Wei is worthy of being an expert, at a glance, you immediately know the price, high, it's really high~~"

Wei Guanghui nodded proudly, looking very useful.

At this time, at the entrance of the ceremonial department, a subordinate suddenly came to report, saying that someone from Jinyiwei had come to find the deacon.

"Looking for me?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Wei Guanghui, meaning Lord Wei, I'm in your territory, if you don't speak, that person can't come in.

Wei Guanghui nodded, and signaled to Deacon Ma, you don't have to be polite, your subordinates must be in a hurry to find you, I think you can let you in.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and thanked Wei Guanghui.

As soon as the order was announced, a brocade guard walked in, only to see him looking nervous, as if something was wrong.

Jin Yiwei leaned over to Ma Xiaoquan's right ear and muttered a few words.

"What?" Halfway through hearing the words, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly replied "couldn't help it".

Wei Guanghui was startled, and the jade handle in his hand was almost scared off by Ma Xiaoquan's sudden shouting.

Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan's expression suddenly became very solemn, Wei Guanghui asked curiously what was wrong.

Ma Xiaoquan pondered for a moment, suddenly stood up, and arched his hand at Wei Guanghui: "Lord Wei, I suddenly received an urgent matter sent by the emperor, and it seems that I can't invite Lord Wei to dinner today, so let's get together another day, and get together another day." With that, Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to leave.

"Wait!" Wei Guanghui suddenly stopped Ma Xiaoquan and pointed to the jade handle he was playing with, "Lord Deacon, you have to take this jade handle." ”

Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Wei Guanghui, although the other party said so, but the hand that played with it was only grasping.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, shook his head and said: "I'm going to go on a mission, what if this thing bumps on my body, in this way, I will temporarily store this jade piece here, and I will come to pick it up again when I have time, Lord Wei, how about it?" ”
