【1162】Dark Deal(17)
Summary of the previous chapter: The ransom given by Zhang Tianhao was 100,000 taels more than Ma Xiaoquan expected, and Ma Xiaoquan was naturally happy in his heart, of course, his surface was not revealed
++++++++++++++++++ Zhang Tianhao nodded lightly, Ma Xiaoquan's words were very clear to him.
"Siquan'er, then you say, Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng joined forces to investigate me, what is it for?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, although you have always kept a low profile, and your style is also very steady, but your eyeliner and eyes all over the court cannot guarantee that they are all like you." ”
Zhang Tianhao hummed and motioned for Ma Xiaoquan to continue.
Ma Xiaoquan continued: "Uncle Zhang, your Zhang family has a long history, and it can be regarded as an old family, well, but in the past hundred years, your Zhang family's style of acting is a little too exposed, and there are some introductions to the hidden wealthy family in the genealogical classics of my Ma family, among which there is a lot of space for the introduction of Uncle Zhang's Zhang family, Uncle Zhang, it is a junior who is presumptuous, and the Zhang family has deviated a little from the purpose of the wealthy family." ”
Zhang Tianhao smiled, shook his head and said: "Of course I know about the deviation, Siquan'er, I won't tell you, starting from my grandfather, our Zhang family has indeed adjusted the development direction of the family, well, of course, it may be my generation, it will go a little fast, hehe"
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, the Zhang family wanted to rebel, he had already overheard some from Zhang Yi and Zhang Jing's mouths last time, of course, Zhang Tianhao didn't say it, Ma Xiaoquan would never mention it.
Raising his head, Ma Xiaoquan sighed, and said: "Besides, Uncle Zhang, how can you guarantee that the eyes and ears of your Zhang family deployed in the court, how can you guarantee that they will definitely only listen to your Zhang family?" ”
Zhang Tianhao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Most of them are supported by the financial resources of my Zhang family, which one is not popular and spicy?" Are they not satisfied? ”
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No, no, Uncle Zhang, it's not enough for a person to have money, when the money is enough to spend, the extra money can't increase happiness, but a lot of power in his hands, which will make that person more interested, well, this is why the ancestor always said, 'Three years of county prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver'." ”
Zhang Tianhao hummed, saying that he agreed with Ma Xiaoquan's words very much, and at the same time, he also remembered the same thing that his grandfather and father had said.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zhang Tianhao's solemn expression, and then said: "Don't talk about anything else, for example, my Ma family, to be honest, my Ma family is also a family with a history, but why my Ma family began to approach the court several generations ago, it is also because of the temptation of power, and for example, my father and my brother, they are all generals, although there are not many soldiers under him, but there are people to call, it must be different, well, and me, I am the deacon of Jinyi Weizheng Erpin, although my power is not as good as commanding Tian Ergeng, But Tian Ergeng definitely didn't dare to touch me, what is this, this is the temptation of power, the ~~~ power of power. ”
"The power of power?" Zhang Tianhao nodded and chewed on Ma Xiaoquan's last words.
"Yes, the power of power can make you immortal, it can make you mess around, and it can make you wantonly ravage the power of others"
Ma Xiaoquan seems to be unintentional when he says this, but in fact he is tempting.
After hearing Zhang Yi and Zhang Jing's conversation last time, Ma Xiaoquan immediately secretly conducted some investigations on the Zhang family, but the Zhang family acted cautiously, and many of them had no clue, so after thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan definitely tested the head of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Tianhao.
Zhang Tianhao is also a human being, no matter how scheming he is, it is impossible to be 100% hidden, Ma Xiaoquan deliberately lowered his head, but in fact, he had already found an angle where he could see Zhang Tianhao's expression, and secretly observed the changes in the other party's expression.
Zhang Tianhao saw Ma Xiaoquan bow his head, and the nerves that were still a little tense loosened slightly, which made the corners of his eyes twitch involuntarily.
This small action was clearly seen by Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan exhaled, and when he raised his head, Zhang Tianhao had already returned to his serious appearance.
"Siquan'er, you're right, hey, it seems that my Zhang family is still a little later than your Ma family, hehe"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, Zhang Tianhao, Zhang Tianhao, what you said tested me in turn, well, amazing, amazing.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but think of another person.
Cao Cao.
As a famous politician, military strategist, and writer in Chinese history, Ma Xiaoquan had many dealings with Cao Cao, and in the process, Ma Xiaoquan learned a lot of political ideas from Cao Cao.
Cao Cao once said to Ma Xiaoquan: Any political struggle is actually a struggle between people, as long as you don't let your opponent see your eyes more, or continue to remain silent, then you will be invincible.
The moment Cao Cao's words flashed in Ma Xiaoquan's mind, the impulse he had originally wanted to speak suddenly turned off, and was replaced by only a smile of silence.
Zhang Tianhao looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and fear suddenly appeared in his heart.
What he said just now was indeed a counter-test of Ma Xiaoquan, if Ma Xiaoquan answered just now, then it means that his coming today was premeditated.
It's a pity that Zhang Tianhao's temptation failed, and in the face of Ma Xiaoquan, who was smiling and silent, he actually had a sense of fear.
After a while, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, I don't think I will mention this matter first, I think you will definitely investigate it in detail, well, I have to remind you of a word, for Wei Zhongxian, don't provoke, don't get close, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhang Tianhao snorted, but he had other ideas in his heart.
"Uncle Zhang, there is one more thing" Ma Xiaoquan felt that the time was almost up, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I am very interested in cooperating with your Zhang family's 'wild landscape'." ”
When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he was slightly unhappy in his heart.
Wild landscape is the most profitable project of the Zhang family in Beijing, this thing is only done by his Zhang family in Beijing, and now Ma Xiaoquan wants to intervene, I am afraid that even if he Zhang Tianhao himself agrees, those old seniors in the family will not agree.
"Siquan'er, I'll talk about this in a few days."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Uncle Zhang, I see that you misunderstood me, I definitely didn't mean to compete with you, to be precise, I wanted to be an agent, well, it is the operating model I talked about in my previous correspondence with you." ”
"Agent? Hmm~~" Zhang Tianhao thought about it quietly and said with a smile, "Is this possible?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Of course it is feasible, Uncle Zhang, you sell me water, and I am solely responsible for the rest of the distribution and sales, well, that is to say, Uncle Zhang, your Zhang family only cares, and the trading and distribution will be handed over to me, of course, I will actually eat a price difference, and Uncle Zhang, because you have less links in the sale and distribution, you can do it more with one mind." Wild landscape', when the time comes, not to mention anything else, I'm afraid this quality may also be upgraded to a higher level, well, at that time, Uncle Zhang will launch high, medium and low grade water to meet different groups of people, so isn't there a lot of silver? ”
"Huh?" Hearing Ma Xiaoquan's words, Zhang Tianhao was moved.
Zhang Tianhao has been worried about the "wild landscape" recently, of course, it is not that the "wild landscape" is not easy to sell, but because their Zhang family colluded with the officials of the capital to monopolize the business of digging wells in the capital, just for this matter, someone has already written to impeach, and furthermore, although the "wild landscape" is facing the "high-end crowd" (dignitaries), but every time the sale and distribution are more or less incorporate.
The Zhang family is a family of merchants, and the pursuit of profit by businessmen has remained unchanged for eternity.
"Well, Siquan'er, Uncle Zhang hopes that you will give me a case as soon as possible, and let me give you an answer as soon as possible after discussing it with the old seniors in the clan."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, Uncle Zhang, then I'll go back to work on the case, and I'll send it in person when the case is done." ”
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan stood up and bowed to Zhang Tianhao.
Zhang Tianhao returned the salute and made a gesture of please: "Siquan'er, please~"
Ma Xiaoquan returned to Ma's house and threw himself into his bedroom with a sigh of relief.
Li Qinghan walked into the bedroom, saw Ma Xiaoquan lying motionless, and asked with concern: "Ma Xiaoquan, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”
"No, no, I just want to take a break~ Qinghan, can you do me a favor?"
Li Qinghan stepped forward: "What? ”
Ma Xiaoquan turned over and sat up, hugging Li Qinghan's slender waist: "You kick my waist?" My waist is a little sore~"
Li Qinghan's face flushed, and said, "You didn't do anything, and you're still young, so why don't you have any back pain." ”
"Eh, eh~ Of course, back pain doesn't mean doing everything, you kick me, it's also called massage health care, besides, we haven't had it these days"
"Go, go~" Li Qinghan broke free of Ma Xiaoquan and said angrily, "Why are you so, ignore you~"
"Don't don't, okay, don't talk about it, really, my waist is really a little sore, you know, going to Zhang Tianhao's house and talking to him must be more tiring."
Li Qinghan sighed: "Okay, but I can say okay, I'm quite heavy." ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "It's okay, Qinghan, you are heavy where you should be heavy, and the place that shouldn't be heavy is definitely not heavy~"
Li Qinghan gave Ma Xiaoquan a blank look, and pushed Ma Xiaoquan down on the bed.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, quickly turned over and lay on the bed, and waited for Li Qinghan honestly.
Although Li Qinghan was a little embarrassed in his heart, he slowly took off his shoes
