The enemy may not be as terrible as you think. A so-called friend may not be as reliable as you would like.

Ma Rentan cannot deny that whether it is in terms of identity or cultivation, he is very far behind Fan Siwen. This distance grows farther and farther with age.

When Ma Ren walked his dog and amused the birds into the capital, Fan Siwen worked hard in the Goose Lake Academy, and his talent was even heard of by His Majesty who was high in the capital. After Fan Siwen returned to Beijing, he specially summoned him once, greatly appreciated him, and promised to seek an official position in the DPRK and China to experience first. This kind of experience is also directly under the disciple of Taiwei Fan. This kind of treatment that made everyone jealous was rejected by Fan Siwen because he was young and lacked knowledge. Your Majesty did not get angry, but did as he pleased. I am afraid that this grace is unique.

Will Ma Rentan feel that he is a friend of Fan Siwendi?

Of course not!

He knows how many catties and taels he has, and Fan Siwen is gloomy and cautious, unprofitable and extremely cherishes the feather land cleanliness, once he loses the value of the land, he is likely to be wiped out!

If Fan Siwen really regards himself as a "friend" who is being wooed, there is only one possibility. That is, he did a thorough and accurate investigation of himself.

For more than a month, the prince's party to which Fan Taiwei belonged has made frequent moves.

Because, it is said that the emperor is sick.

When he asked about his father in the palace, he responded coldly and harshly, telling him to inquire less and participate less!

In the original words, you are a mallet! Being involved in this bloody battle with a false head and brain, a careless one will end up being slaughtered!

He had scruples about Fan Siwen, telling himself a lot of things, and letting himself participate in the means of seeing him, in order to deter and drag him into the water.

If Fan Siwen really didn't have the slightest scruples about him or his father, he wouldn't have taken so many roundabout measures. At the very least, Fan Siwen didn't dare to touch him! Therefore, he expressed his attitude in a stern manner.

Fan Siwen looked at Ma Ren who was a little excited, his brows furrowed, he didn't like this kind of noise. After Ma Rentan finished speaking, he regained a calm expression on his face, and said slowly: "What if I can win a pair of death-free gold medals for you?"

Ma Ren was stunned when he heard this. The gold medal for avoiding death means that even if Fan is guilty of treason, he can be exempted from the crime.

Fan Siwen glanced at Ma Renyan lightly, his voice was full of bewitchment, and said, "Brother Ma, are you worried that I won't be able to get this?"

Ma Ren pursed his lips and was silent, and the prince obeyed Fan Taiwei's words. And Mrs. Fan attaches great importance to Fan Siwen, a talented young son.

Fan Siwen saw that Ma Ren's expression was a little loose, and he aggravated the surprise, and said: "Brother Ma, people live for a lifetime, and the grass and trees are autumn." Do you want to continue to live the good life of good food and wine and beautiful people as you are now, or do you want to shrink your head and live after we have achieved great momentum?"

Ma Renyan raised his head, his eyes sharpened at Fan Siwen's slightly threatening words.

The phrase "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither" has been exposed to him since he was a child.

Everyone wants to be that "general", not one of the ten thousand dry bones.

Based on his years of experience in the underworld of the capital, he also knew that the end of the wall grass would not be better than that of the betrayer.

Don't look at King Ning'an, he looks like a beautiful scenery and has a great future. But in the end, the background is much thinner. Even if the Seventh Prince has mastered a large part of the military power, through Fan Siwen's analysis, it is really hard to say how many people can really be loyal to the Seventh Prince.

The prince's party, operating for the New Year. are all civil servants and ministers, and those civil officials and scholars who look at Hexi's smile are far more ruthless than the military generals with swords and guns.

The division commander Lu Changfeng was defeated in the mouths and pens of those people. So far, he has been charged with a fictitious treason.

Fan Siwen ignored Ma Ren's cowardly gaze and laughed softly: "Sending charcoal in the snow or licking flowers on the cake, I think Brother Ma is a smart person and should be able to make the right decision." ”

Ma Ren sighed in a low voice, his expression discouraged. To a large extent, he was persuaded by Van Sven. He raised his head and asked unwillingly, "Why did Brother Fan find me instead of going directly to my father? Wouldn't it be better to convince him directly?"

The implication is that he is just a gentleman, far inferior to his brothers who hold military power.

When Fan Siwen saw Ma Ren's attitude change, he knew that he had basically been persuaded by himself. I didn't plan to continue to test with him, and said straight to the point: "Because, I know." You will be the next head of the Ma family!"

Ma Renyan's expression suddenly became cold.

Fan Siwen didn't see it, looked at the ships on the Qingming River that were getting farther and farther away, and said, "Now I don't hide with Brother Fan." The foolish stuff you've made is just a disguise. This is the helplessness of being in a big family. We are always afraid that the family will be too strong and cause the emperor to be suspicious. You've got two promising brothers, and it's only a matter of time before you become a general. I heard that Brother Fan was jealous of the Qinglou after drinking with Wei Wuji, the son of the king of Jing'an County, and he drew his sword and believed that he almost hacked him to death. According to my investigation, Wei Wuji looked like he had been slashed a lot. Isn't it strange that a drunken man still keeps his sanity and doesn't hurt his vital point?"

Fan Siwen turned his head and asked Ma Renyan with a smile, "I have been observing all this time, why are you not observing me? ”

Ma Renyan took back the sharp gaze in his eyes, and even the drunken innocence was nowhere to be seen, and only after a long time did he sigh and said, "Alas...... Brother Fan is the real smart person. I have to say that during this period of contact, the methods designed by Brother Fan were eye-opening. ”

Fan Siwen didn't laugh proudly because he was praised, pointed to the still bustling night market in the distance, and said: "There are talents in the country, it's really my generation! Brother Fan, why don't you join hands with me and share the beauty of this world?"

Ma Rentan was not excited by Fan Siwen's ambition, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Fan is so generous. The younger brother is just a bluestone brick in the middle of the capital, and it doesn't play a big role. doesn't have the pride of Brother Fan, all he thinks about is guarding this family business and being quiet. ”

Ma Ren stood up straight, put his right hand on the railing and looked into the distance: "My father is modest, he has high hopes for me, and my brothers deliberately show their talents, so that I can guard this family business." The elder brother said that one day they would die on the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for the country, and through such a price, the emperor would remember a few friendships, and there was no need to be afraid. So as to exchange the descendants of the land to sprout shade. I don't dare to say it for thousands of generations, but it is possible to maintain the prosperity of my Ma family for a hundred years. ”

Fan Siwen smiled as he listened to the confidence in Ma Ren's tone behind him. What made him even happier was that when Ma Ren revealed his heart, it showed that he was already on his side. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Promises are all false things for people like us. ”

Ma Ren nodded in agreement. He looked at Fan Siwen and waited for the next step. The main topic is coming, Fan Siwen has all the foreshadowing, waiting for his nod. Now that he has nodded, it is time for the other party to offer conditional bargaining chips.

Fan Siwen moved his five fingers and said lightly: "I will implement some of these promised benefits, at least let Brother Ma see our sincerity." It even said that we are willing to throw up the chips and let Brother Ma judge for himself whether it is worth paying. ”

Ma Renyan's face was calm. Just turned his head to look in the direction of Ning'an Town, pointed his finger slightly, and said, "I think Ning'an Town is good." It's even better to be back to the place before it was restored!"

Fan Siwen was slightly puzzled and a little embarrassed.

The annual income of Ning'an Township occupies 5 percent of the national treasury. Ma Renyan pointed out this place directly, which means that he wants to control it.

Seeing that Fan Siwen was silent, Ma Ren did not urge, and only continued after a while: "I want to build the outer wall higher and stronger. After that, I stayed there and never came out again. ”

Fan Siwen frowned, and after a long time, he said: "Brother Fan has great talent, so he really doesn't want to become an official?

Ma Rentan shook his head and said, "Now that I have shown my hole cards, I don't need to hide them." I think it's nice to be there, and I want to spend my life there. But if there are talented people in the descendants who are willing to serve the court, of course I will be happy to see them succeed. ”

If his descendants are officials, he will not hinder them. It is for the proton, and it is for him. From another point of view, it is also to let them stop suspecting that he will have other thoughts. Others will not leave, and their children and grandchildren are still in the capital, as long as the court needs it, the fate of his children and grandchildren is also controlled by the court.

Fan Siwen sighed leisurely and said, "Brother Fan, isn't there something ......?"

"Don't you want to make progress?" Ma Renyan took what Fan Siwen didn't say, smiled, and said, "So to speak." I don't have much desire for conspiracy and power, but I have some great interest in this gold, silver and white thing. I think those things are very good, and over the years, the only things that have really made me feel at ease are those things of gold and silver. Literally there, literally you bite into it, it gives you a toothache. Time is everything, only this thing makes me feel at ease. ”

"Brother Ma is talented and still very young. Fan Siwen persuaded.

Ma Renyan shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. ”

Fan Siwen looked at Ma Ren seriously, and Ma Ren looked back at him.

After a long time, Fan Siwen sighed leisurely, and said with a somewhat low expression: "If I don't find Brother Fan, Brother Fan won't have the idea of putting Nanshan in the south like this and putting knives and guns into the warehouse." ”

Ma Ren laughed a few times with a "haha", he didn't even want to think about the lost look on Fan Siwen's face. He shook his head and said: "My father has been in the palace all the year round, and with his experience, he can naturally feel a kind of mountain rain about to come, and the wind is throbbing all over the building. I also know that with his character, he will never be able to persuade him to leave the capital. He didn't want to go, and he couldn't go. And I, can go. But I refused. My home, my roots, are still here. ”

"With Brother Ma's talent, the foundation is not only here, right?" Fan Siwen smiled.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say directly that I want that Ning'an Town. Ma Ren looked at Fan Siwen with a smile, he needed to throw out more of his strength to obtain greater benefits, even if he didn't need to say how many places there were, he thought for a moment before saying, "I want the entire Ning'an Town, but I will divide the income into three parts." One portion is forty percent and is handed over to the treasury. A tripartite is given to the ministers of the DPRK and China as a source of income. I am confident that the harvest will at least double as before. In addition to more, it is also cleaner. What does Brother Fan think?"

Fan Siwen looked as if he had become a philistine businessman but was content, and knew how to advance and retreat, and shook his head with a smile, this is not too much of a request. He raised his hand and said, "Deal!"

Ma Renxian smiled even more happily, and stretched out his palm to strike Fan Siwen in the air. He wants more, but he also knows that greedy people will die very early. A lot of gold and silver is good, but the most important thing is that you have the life to spend it.

After Fan Siwen said "wait for the order" to close the coffin, he changed his clothes and left. When he left, he glanced at the blonde beauty lying on the bed, and said secretly, it's a pity.

Ma Ren didn't send him off, and his body opened slightly to let Fan Siwen walk out. looked at the blonde peerless beauty who turned over in her sleep with some regret, and also muttered "It's a pity".

After finishing speaking, he slowly walked to the edge of the blonde beauty bed and sat down, looked at the beautiful woman, and reached out to pinch her neck expressionlessly......

It's a very bad thing.

Neither he nor Fan Siwen allowed a third person to be present to hear their conversation, even if the woman didn't necessarily hear it.
