"Starling, what did that bastard boy say?"

As soon as Hongqing left, the tenth master had already hurriedly broken into the eighth master's office, and before he even sat down, he was already impatient to ask.

"People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, alas, ......"

It's okay that the tenth master didn't ask, but under this question, the smiling face that the eighth master had originally pretended to be immediately collapsed, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head and sighed with dark clouds on his face.

"Huh? What does Starling mean by this? ”

As soon as he heard that the eighth master's emotion was not right, the tenth master's face immediately looked a little unpleasant, and he looked at the eighth master's face suspiciously, and then asked in disbelief.

"Well...... you can't do anything, that kid is here to get benefits,......, but fortunately, that guy doesn't have the intention of killing them all, and the situation is still under control."

The tenth master is an absolute confidant, and the eighth master will not hide too much from him, and after he grows out of his mouth, he will babbble about the negotiation with Hongqing in detail.

"What? How does this make! Let's not say that the artillery was made out by the brothers at a great cost, let's just say that the people who were the fourteenth brother at the time, and they were really replaced, how can the brothers explain to the old fourteen, no, this matter must not be done! ”

The tenth master is a cannon man, just one point, no, the eighth master's voice had just fallen, and he was already angry and roared.

"Confession? Oh, for the elder brother, you have to give an explanation to the fourteenth brother, so I don't know what the fourteenth brother should give to the elder brother, and the tenth brother will take a look. ”

The eighth master was obviously a little unbearable to the fourteenth master, and at this time, he heard that the tenth master was an old fourteenth, and the anger in his heart surged up, his face sank, and he reached out and took out a booklet from the drawer under the copy, and threw the booklet into the arms of the tenth master while saying hatefully.

"This, this ......, the old fourteen is crazy, how can he act like this, no, the master has to reason with him!"

The booklet is not thick, just a few pages, the size of dried tofu, densely filled with small characters, speaking of which are some records like running accounts, others may not be able to see why, but the more the tenth master looks, the more frightened he is, at the end, his face is as black as the bottom of the pot, there is no other, the booklet is recorded in how the fourteenth master squeezed out the eighth master's manpower in the army, and how to secretly cultivate his own confidants, the details of the record are obviously not like a fake, although the tenth master is reckless, but not stupid, He could distinguish the truth from the fake, and under this anger, he suddenly jumped to his feet and roared.

"Hey, how can there be so many reasons to talk about, it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, it's all a reluctant thing, the road is chosen by each person, what are the consequences, then you can only bear it yourself, this matter is good for you and my brother, spread it, it's not good for anyone."

The reason why the eighth master took out such a confidential pamphlet at this time was of course because of a moment of righteous indignation, but more of it was to make some preparations for breaking with the old fourteenth in the future, and it was basically to test which side of the tenth master's mind was, and it was out of this consideration that the eighth master's words had a little more faint hints.

"Hmph, the old fourteen is a white-eyed wolf, he doesn't want to think about who helped him fight for such a handsome position now, hey, after crossing the river, he thought about demolishing the bridge, it's really a villain, starling, you say, how to fix it, the little brother listens to you!"

Although the tenth master is not a very intelligent person, but at the end of the day, he is also a prince cultivated by elite education, naturally not stupid, even if the eighth master hints extremely vaguely, he can also hear the unfinished words hidden in the words, and he will not hesitate, patted his chest, and boldly showed the attitude and center of following the eighth master.

"This matter is not in a hurry, there will be retribution in the future, and now that the situation is broken, the important thing is to clean up the end of the hand first, and this matter will be handled by the tenth brother."

The eighth master was obviously very satisfied with the tenth master's statement, but he did not say how to deal with the old fourteenth, but changed his words and returned to the current mess.

"Starling don't worry, the little brother knows what to do."

Since it is known that the old fourteenth has changed his mind, the tenth master is too lazy to fight for the mere one-time support, and he has no resistance to the eighth master's explanation, so he simply accepted it neatly......

"Lord Yu, King Renjun is here."

Compared with the calm of the household department, the military department that was also involved in the review of military expenditure was busy and nervous, as the general manager of Hongqing shook his hand and was in charge, and the old thirteen who were responsible for cooperating with the review naturally could not be idle, no, from early in the morning, the officials and officials who came to the ceremony were endless, and it was only at noon that they had some time to eat, but before the old thirteen took a few mouthfuls of food, he saw that his guard commander had hurriedly come in from the office, and grabbed the copywriter in a few big strides and bowed, hurriedly said a word.

"Hey, this kid, he's really good at picking the time, gotta, please."

Hearing that Hongqing had arrived, the old thirteen eyebrows immediately raised, and he laughed and scolded angrily.

"Wow!"

The old thirteen could laugh and scold, but the commander of the guards who came to pay tribute did not dare to be the slightest slack, hurriedly agreed to the promise, and hurriedly withdrew from the room.

"The little nephew has seen the thirteenth uncle."

Hongqing has always been very polite in front of people, even if he is already familiar with the old thirteen, but with the presence of his subordinate guards, Hongqing will not have the slightest rudeness, this time when he saw the face of the old thirteen, he immediately walked a few steps, and greeted him very respectfully.

"You stinky boy, don't come to this with the master, anyway, what's the trouble again, do you want the master to wipe your ass?"

Lao Thirteen was really annoyed that Hongqing was so polite, although after getting along for so many years, he had long known that Hongqing was just a trick of "hypocrisy", but he still couldn't help but roll his eyes and scolded loudly.

"Hey, it's still the thirteenth uncle who is very wise, and the little nephew has relied on the help of the thirteenth uncle these days, and he can finally cope with the current errand."

Hongqing didn't care about the "bad" attitude of the old thirteen at all, and explained with a smile.

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Lao Thirteen's face immediately became solemn, but he didn't rush to ask what was going on, but waved his hand at the guard commander who was waiting on the side, and shouted in an unquestionable tone: "Stand down!" ”

"Wow!"

As soon as the old thirteen gave this order, the commander of the guards did not dare to delay it slightly, so he hurriedly answered the promise, and with a twist of his heels, he withdrew from the room.

"That's it? You kid is not authentic, just use the master as a disguise, anyway, how many benefits have you knocked this time? ”

The old thirteen have been busy in the military department these days, and they really don't have time to care about Hongqing's deployment, and when they heard that Hongqing actually finished the mission quietly, he was really curious in his heart, and as soon as the commander of the guards withdrew, he immediately asked a little impatiently.

"Not much, thanks to the care of the fourth uncle and the eighth uncle, I promised the little nephew some real shortcomings, hey, the fourth uncle was generous, and gave the two Qing officials in Guangdong and Zhejiang to take out satin boils and paint two libraries, the eighth uncle, the bearing was a little smaller, so he only gave an arsenal division, and the little nephew recommended Ning Zhang, and the eighth uncle was entangled for a long time, which was reluctantly allowed."

The relationship with each other is good, but Hongqing doesn't intend to tell the old thirteen about the specific negotiation process, so he just briefly said the result.

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, the old thirteen's brows immediately frowned unconsciously, no side, the arsenal palm seal Langzhong is indeed fat, Ning Zhang'a is also the old thirteen's Xinzhong's subordinate servants, but compared to taking down the entire military department, it is obviously not a big gain, although there was an agreement with Hongqing earlier, this time the military department is just a fake fight, but after these days, the old thirteen has seen the opportunity to grasp the power of the military department, and there will inevitably be some further thoughts in his heart, but such an idea is not easy to say for a while, can only be noncommittal and soft.

"Thirteenth Uncle Mingjian, as the saying goes: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, some things have to be seen from the overall situation, and it is the way to make progress in moderation, but it may backfire, this must not be careless."

Although Lao Thirteen did not say it explicitly, Hongqing could see the true thoughts in Lao Thirteen's heart at a glance, even if he was reluctant, he could only say it clearly.

"Well, let's talk about it, what do you want to do?"

Hongqing had already said it so clearly, the old thirteen was no longer entangled in his own thoughts, and raised his eyebrows, already asking about the right thing.

"Thirteenth Uncle Gaoyi, the little nephew thanked him first, if the Western Front military strategy is ready, the little nephew will go to meet Huang Mafa tomorrow, and this matter will be over."

Seeing that Lao Thirteen was no longer entangled in the power of the military department, Hongqing's tense heartstrings were immediately loosened, and he thanked him first, and then politely made a request.

"You kid knows how to call the master, yes, don't mess with you, take it!"

The old thirteen understood what Hongqing Xie was, rolled his eyes, scolded angrily, shook his hand, took out the thick fold from the wide sleeve, and threw it into Hongqing's arms casually.

"There is Uncle Lao, you continue to eat, the little nephew is hungry and panicked, and he has to fill up his five internal organs, so he won't disturb Uncle Thirteen much."

Hongqing copied it in his hand, took the fold in his hand, quickly flipped through it, and a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he laughed haha, and walked away in the laughter and scolding of the old thirteen......
