Chapter 45 Visit the Ninth Master and ask for help with gifts
The vermilion gate looks extremely noble in the reflection of the sun, with blue bricks and green tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and looks very macroscopic from a distance. There is a copper-colored sandalwood lazy chair placed on the side of the round stone bench in the courtyard, and the man in the red brocade dress lies lazily on it, smelling the fragrance of tea, holding a scroll in his hand, bathing in the sun, and the whole person looks very comfortable.
"Master, I'm going to visit the eighth master later, and the things you ordered to prepare have been prepared. In fact, the villain has a sentence hidden in his heart for a long time, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. A middle-aged man in plain clothes was half-bent over, looking very respectful, muttering with a sad face. This person's name is He Laifu, the ninth master Yinyu's close body and mind, and he is well organized inside and out.
"Laifu, come and listen, I forgive you for your innocence." The man lying in the chair stopped shaking his body, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person standing on the side, he pursed his lips, and said lightly.
"Laifu really can't figure it out, now that the eighth master has no hope of competing for the throne, why doesn't the master plan for himself, but he has worked hard to make friends with the minister to support the eighth master behind his back, not to mention that the emperor likes you very much......" He Laifu also slipped up, and saw that the ninth master had already spoken, so he simply said quickly.
"Stop...... Laifu, how can these words be said casually, you won't understand the matter between me and Starling, although he was imprisoned by Huang Ama, as long as Huang Ama is still alive, he will have a chance to turn over. I've always liked Western culture, and I'm not interested in the battle for the throne, but now that I'm seeing my starling being framed, I will never stand idly by as a sibling. never thought that the fourth child would do things so decisively, and he couldn't let the hand of the throne fall into the hands of such a person for this point. You must not say this casually in the future, Huang Ama is now old, and he has already taken precautions against the matter of seizing the heir, and he does not like the wall between brothers. Listening to what Laifu said, the Ninth Master suddenly sat up, interrupting what he hadn't had time to say, and there was quite a lot of rhetoric in his words.
"Come to Fu to know the mistake, please punish the master, how can the vision and mind of the master be guessed by the villain at will, I will be careful to do things and speak in the future, where the master hits, I will point." He Laifu listened to Jun's words and read for ten years, and he had always admired the intelligence and alertness of the ninth master, and felt deeply about the sincerity in his words, so he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Come on, the master said that you are not guilty, not to mention the ...... I asked you to say" Seeing this, the ninth master began to shake the chair again, shaking the folding fan on the side, and talking with a smile, "Get up, do what you have to do, don't block my sun here." ”
"Thank you, master......" He Fulai listened to what his grandfather said, stood up numbly, his face was full of joy, and he was just about to run away when he heard the guard at the door come to pass the word.
"Qi Qi Ninth Master, Lord Yin Leng Lingfeng came to visit, and he was waiting at the door at this time, I don't know if I see it or not?" The guards dressed in the imperial palace hurriedly ran in, and after the luggage was stunned, they spoke respectfully, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the ninth master not far away.
"Leng Lingfeng, this old thing is here, but he hasn't been here for a while, there must be something coming, please let him in." The ninth master listened to what the guards said, thought for a long time, and said to He Laifu on the side.
"Go ahead, didn't you hear what the Ninth Master said? Let Leng Fu Yin in. He Fulai knew what his master meant, and when he saw the guards on the side, he didn't react for a long time, urging him to speak.
"The villain takes the order." Seeing what He Laifu said, the guards hurriedly retreated and went out.
After a while, I saw Leng Lingfeng and Xu Jingui in the mansion walking towards the courtyard of the inner mansion one after the other. Seeing the Ninth Master in the courtyard from a distance, they greeted him in a hurry, making a big salute, and said with a flattering face: "The villain Leng Lingfeng greets the Ninth Master!" ”
"Lord Leng, please hurry up, I don't know that the gust of wind blew you here, why did you want to come to Master I today, I thought that you still had lingering palpitations about the matter of Master Leng that day." The Ninth Master said coldly, as if expressing his dissatisfaction, "I don't know why I came here today?" ”
"Where did the Ninth Master say, thanks to the protection of the Ninth Master last time, I Leng Lingfeng escaped a catastrophe, and the dog did not suffer, I came to visit the Ninth Master today. There happened to be some rare things in my hand, so I hurriedly sent them over at the first time. Leng Lingfeng listened to what the Ninth Master said, he knew that he had indeed not been here for a while, and it was obvious that he had not come for some days to make people unhappy, so he immediately stepped forward to take the box and offer it, and he was flattering all the time.
"Wow, such a transparent jade, it is really a rare treasure in the world, you really please this king. Laifu accepted it and gave Lord Leng a seat. Listening to what Leng Lingfeng said, the Ninth Master couldn't help but smile as he looked at the jade in the box.
He Laifu took the box and instructed the other subordinates to make tea for Leng Lingfeng to watch, so the courtyard at this point was really warm.
"Lord Leng, let's talk about it, what do you have to report this time?" The Ninth Master has always known Leng Lingfeng's personality, and he gave such a heavy gift, it seems that this time is not ordinary, so he simply sold him a favor and asked in detail.
"The ninth master is really discerning, you know everything in my heart, and you villain won't hide it from you. For so many years, the master and the fourth master have wanted to take the power of Ma Jia Mansion and Fucha Mansion as their own, and tried every means to win them over, who made Ma Jia Guihai and Fucha Mingbo completely unappreciative, just take the last incident as an example, it is obvious that the fourth master actually came out for them, it can be seen that the two have a choice. The villain has some new ideas, and is about to explain to the prince that since these forces can no longer be used by us, why not re-woo a group of people, presumably you should have heard of the really hot golden rice store in the capital. Leng Lingfeng spoke one by one, speaking step by step, his eyes staring at the Ninth Master tightly, for fear that something would go wrong.
"I have heard of the Golden Rice Shop, and it has caused a lot of turmoil in the capital, and I heard that the two old guys Ma Jia Guihai and Fucha Mingbo have been tossed enough, do you mean to cultivate him?" Leng Lingfeng opened his mouth, and the Ninth Master knew what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, pretending to be confused.
"Nine masters are wise, villains have this intention, the boss of the Golden Rice Shop is a small student Hu Yunda in the south of the Yangtze River, with strong financial resources, and now there are more than a dozen large and small shops in the capital, such as rice shops, pawn shops, bun shops, tailor shops, etc., and there are also many businesses all over the country, which did not appear in the capital before, and now become famous in one fell swoop, all walks of life have compared Ma Jia Guihai with Fucha Mingbo, and his way of doing business is very marketable, and the shops are endless. The villain thinks this is a good sign, and in a while it will be the triennial screening season, as long as Hu Yunda is on the list, the power in his hands will naturally work for us. I don't know if the prince still remembers that the Jin family, which was famous in the capital many years ago, was robbed of the limelight by Ma Jia Guihai and Fucha Mingbo because of the defeat of the screening season, and the business was ruined, and the Jin family was completely defeated, and the resources and forces in their hands were occupied by latecomers. Leng Lingfeng continued to chatter, as if everything he said was so beautiful, and he felt that his plan would be seamless.
"In this way, it is also a good idea, but the emperor attaches great importance to the triennial screening season, how can it be that ordinary people in the business of the rivers and lakes can be like the law. Majia Mansion and Fucha Mansion have been in a row for many years, and no one has ever shaken their status, and even many merchants have never been willing to compete with them, which has led to the dominance of the two families and dominate the capital. How is Hu Yunda? The ninth master felt that what Leng Lingfeng said was indeed reasonable, he had invited Ma Jia Guihai and Fucha Mingbo many times before, but they had been rejected, and now the two of them had changed their minds and taken refuge in the fourth child. Since some things can't be used for oneself, they can't be taken possessed by others, and destroying them is not an option, cultivating new power for one's own use is really a way to get the best of both worlds.
Hu Yunda knew the current affairs at this time, the villain had contact with him several times, and secretly sent people to investigate, the way of doing business is indeed very talented, Jiangnan business is very big, and it can quickly attract attention in the capital It can be seen that his ability is extraordinary. Now he has not gained a firm foothold in the capital for the time being, and he is in opposition to Ma Jia Guihai, Fucha Mingbo and others, although the enemy of the enemy is a friend, he is definitely a person who can be trusted, he has been looking for an opportunity to let the villain visit the ninth master for him. Leng Lingfeng saw that the ninth master was really interested, and spoke with relish.
"Okay, since this person is sincere, I also want to meet the influential people in the capital." The Ninth Master nodded and spoke with a smile, "Since you have thought of such a good method, it seems that I should reward you well." ”
"As soon as the ninth master said this, he saw the outside, but since the master spoke, I can't refute the master's face, and it just so happens that I want to ask the master for help." Leng Ling spoke in a sloppy manner, as if he had some scruples.
"Say, what the hell is the matter?"
"The dog was severely beaten in the mountain behind the academy, and now he is sick in bed and has a miserable leg. The villain wanted to take revenge on Fucha Mansion and Fucha Mansion before, intending to let the dog marry Fucha Mingbo's daughter, but before the matter was mentioned, someone came to warn my son, Hugh wanted to fight Fucha Xiangning's idea, and also spread a message to let the little one not be arrogant. ”
"What? You actually want to make Gongzi marry Fucha Mingbo's daughter, what do you think in your heart? The ninth master is really different, and asked.
"Don't get excited, Fucha Xiangning is Fucha Mingbo's beloved daughter, it can be said that he cares about the most, if the villain takes his weakness, the old guy has to be obedient. Listening to the dog, the attacker is strong in martial arts, if he can catch this person as soon as possible, it will also remove a harm in the future, I only hope that the ninth master can help the villain. ”
"Help you, how can I help you? It's a good idea, but I didn't think of it for a while, so let's go back first, and I'll let Laifu notify you as soon as there is any movement, how about it? The Ninth Master thought about it for a long time, but his heart was still unsettled, and he responded tactfully.
"Okay, thank the ninth master first, and then leave." Leng Lingfeng didn't dare to refuse the Ninth Master, he knew the rules, and left the Ninth Master's Mansion in a hurry.
Seeing Leng Lingfeng leaving, Jiu Ye looked at He Laifu on the side and muttered: "I didn't expect this Leng Lingfeng to be a very thoughtful person, we can try his method, as for how to help him, this has to be discussed in the long run." That's it, Laifu, you go to investigate the matter of the screening season that year, I heard the eighth master mention the inside story before, maybe it will help him. ”
"Got it, master, I'll check it out. It's not too early, it's time to go to the Eighth Master's Mansion. ”
"Let's go, help me with that cloak."
Immediately, the master and servant went out.
