Several boats laden with planks slowly stopped at the wharf of the modern shipyard at the foot of Zhaobao Mountain, and the workers waiting at the wharf and the stevedores on board began to unload the planks from the ship.

There is a public house next to the warehouse... Accounts... However, it was not Mr. Ledger who was sitting in the account room at this time, but Ma Hanshan.

Ma Hanshan is making tea, using the kung fu tea method brought from his previous life to make tea, and in Dasong, no one has ever made tea like this.

The tea had just been brewed, the light at the door dimmed, and a man dressed as a stevedore's costume came in... Half a man... Because he is a eunuch.

"Father-in-law, please sit ......." Ma Hanshan glanced at the person who came in and smiled.

"Brother Ma, our family treats you as a brother, and you treat our family as an outsider, it's too unkind." The one who came in, of course, was the popular eunuch Li Dangchen.

"Haha, okay, then... Will you be called Master Li in the future? Ma Hanshan said with a smile.

Li Dangchen's face changed a few times, his expression was strange, he wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed lightly and said: "Alas, our family actually wants to be like Meng Shilang and become brothers with different surnames with Master Hanshan, but our family is an incomplete person, a cripple, and an inauspicious person... This wish can only be thought about in ...... heart alone. ”

When Ma Hanshan heard this, he was happy, this old man actually wanted to worship himself? Hehe, don't say that you are just missing a little bit, useful people, even if you are missing half of your body, it doesn't matter, and I don't want to marry you home.

For eunuchs, in fact, Ma Hanshan does not look down on him at all, he hates sexism, physical discrimination, and occupational discrimination ...... very much. As far as Ma Hanshan is concerned, eunuchs are just a special profession, and he will never be like those guys who are full of benevolence and morality, while enjoying the services of prostitutes and scolding other people's for corrupting morals.

"What Master Li said is from the heart?" Ma Hanshan looked at Li Dangchen and said.

"Li Dangchen has never said a word of falsehood to Ma Hanshan, such a statement is false, and the sky thunders." Li Dangchen actually casually swore a poisonous oath.

"Someone... Set up an incense case ...... for Ben Shao at the door. Ma Hanshan felt that his brain's reaction was getting slower and slower, Li Dangchen was the henchman of the emperor's henchmen, why couldn't he think of swearing to him.

"Look at the mountain... You... You really... Are you really not afraid of other people's jokes? Li Dangchen was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Ma Hanshan meant, he was so excited that his body was trembling.

Eunuchs, no matter how much the emperor trusts him, no matter how much power he has, are looked down upon, discriminated against by others in this world, and even relatives will be estranged, parents do not recognize children, and brothers do not recognize relatives. Ma Hanshan is not afraid of the dislike of secular people and worships him, which... This is an incredible thing, can Li Dangchen not be moved, not excited?

"Although Ma Hanshan is not a big man, he has never disdained to be in the company of those secular people, in my eyes, eunuchs and generals, untouchables and nobles, as long as their thoughts are noble, they are all worthy of respect, they are all the same." Ma Hanshan took Li Dangchen's hand and walked out and said, "Brother, let's go to worship the heavens, and after the sacrifice to the heavens, you and I will be brothers who share life and death, honor and disgrace." ”

"Brothers who share honor and disgrace in life and death... Good... Good... Good brother ....... Li Dangchen was so excited that his whole body trembled.

So, Li Dangchen sacrificed to heaven with Ma Hanshan in a stunned state and became a brother of the opposite sex.

What others will think and say, Ma Hanshan is not calling at all, he only knows that from now on, he has a pair of eyes and ears in the palace.

"Good brother, the younger brother toasts the elder brother three cups with tea instead of wine." Returning to the account room and sitting down, Ma Hanshan picked up the teacup and said, "Turn back, I want to put on a feast and get drunk with my brother." ”

"Slow... Wait... Brother Xian, after all, my brother is disabled, and I serve in the palace, so, in front of people, we are still the same as before, Brother Xian can call me father-in-law, Lord Li, and father-in-law, don't call me brother, I'm afraid that I can't help ......but kill people when I hear others say that I ridicule my brother. Li Dangchen held Ma Hanshan's hands and said, "Moreover, since you and we are meeting in secret today, we shouldn't make any noise, drink, and when the virtuous brother returns to Lin'an, we will have a good drink." ”

"Okay, it's up to my brother." Ma Hanshan took out a stack of silver darts from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Dangchen's arms and said, "However, the meeting gift is to be given anyway, and the elder brother will take it, this is a little bit of the younger brother's heart." ”

Silver is a thing that can be earned without it, but favors are not something that can be earned if you want to, Ma Hanshan felt that he knelt down in front of the incense case, said a few words in his mouth and said something like happiness and sharing, and spent a little silver, in exchange for Li Dangchen's endless intelligence, as well as his "good words" in front of the emperor Lao'er, it was simply a lot of money.

Li Dangchen took the silver ticket stuffed by Mahan Mountain, tears flowed, his own brother has never asked for it only from himself, but he never dared to admit that there is a brother who is a eunuch, but this righteous brother has always given himself silver, and has never asked for it... This is my own brother.

Hehe, with the complete emotion of this moment, Ma Hanshan asked for it in the future, and he also felt that Ma Hanshan did not ask for it, Ma Hanshan was the best, closer than the pro.

Li Dangchen took off a red Yu fish-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ma Hanshan and said, "Brother Xian, you hold this jade pendant... The thing in the palace, this piece of blood jade flying fish, is not only priceless, but more importantly, it is a mark for the brother. There are spies from the Imperial City Division in various places, and when they see this jade pendant, they will retreat, of course, if the virtuous brother is in trouble, they will definitely help. Brother Wei also has a little bit of a thin name in the martial arts, if the virtuous brother has a conflict with the people in the martial arts, show this jade pendant, they will also give a few thin noodles. ”

Haha, great, his grandmother's, the spies of the Imperial City Division don't need to talk about it, but people in the martial arts will definitely have to deal with it often in the future, with this thing, isn't it ......, Ma Hanshan was happy in his heart.

After the "brothers" gave each other the so-called meeting gifts, they rested for a while, their moods recovered, and they began to talk about business.

"Is there anything important for Brother Xian to send me a message to come to Mingzhou quietly?" Li Dangchen first turned the topic to the purpose of this trip.

"Yes, it's important." Ma Hanshan paused for a moment and said, "Do you know that there is a Wujiazhuang in Changguo County?" ”

"Well, I've heard of it, and I've also heard that Brother Xian has an unpleasant quarrel with him." Li Dangchen said.

"It's not that I'm having trouble with him, it's that Turtle Jie, the turtle grandson, wanted to occupy Fan's shipyard, but I happened to stop him. Brother may not know that Fan Ziyuan has already given half of this boat yard to his younger brother, and that turtle Jie wants to use a contract trap to occupy the boat yard, which is equivalent to robbing my things. Ma Hanshan glanced at Li Dangchen and said, "Ma's things, others can grab them if they want to?" ”

"Then he's so hateful, what do you want to do?" Li Dangchen's face was also full of anger, how could it be reasonable to rob our younger brother's things? I'm tired of living.

"It's all a trivial matter, if it's just such a trivial matter, why bother my brother to take a trip." Ma Hanshan took out a stack of materials and handed it to Li Dangchen and said, "This turtle has done all the bad things, and the evil is full of evil, and the people along the coast are eager to eat its flesh and drink its blood." The most infuriating thing is that this bastard not only preys on the common people and oppresses the good, but he also colludes with pirates to raid the coastal areas, and over the years, the pirate looting incidents in the coastal areas have been related to him. ”

"Huh? So hateful? Our family asked the emperor to decree the destruction of his nine clans. Li Dangchen was furious.

It is also a coincidence that Li Dangchen's hometown was plundered by pirates, and his brother died under the pirates' swords, so his hatred for pirates is much greater than others.

Although the pirate who killed his brother has nothing to do with Wu Guangjie, who has only colluded with pirates in recent years, Li Dangchen will not care about this, he thinks that pirates deserve to die, and those who collude with pirates deserve to die.

"Calm, calm, at any time, we should maximize our interests, brother, think about it, why is Turtle Jie so bold? He was not discovered today because of the pirates, why has he been living so chic? Ma Hanshan said.

Syllable!

Li Dangchen slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "There are people behind him, there are backers, corrupt officials, and evil officials, ......." ”

"Yes, there must be a string of corrupt officials behind him. It's easy to destroy Turtle Jie, but it's not easy to destroy this group of people who are more hateful than Turtle Jie together, so we have to use tactics, plan and then act, and wipe them ......all out. Ma Hanshan said solemnly.

"They... I'm afraid it's not easy to catch them all... If I'm right... Behind those people, there are backers ....... "Li Dangchen has lived in the palace for decades, although he is a eunuch, but he understands officialdom better than many people who mix in the officialdom, and he knows very well that it is impossible for any evil official to do evil on his own, and a string of people are involved behind him.

Perhaps, the local evil officials and petty officials, behind them are only the bosses... Or the boss of the boss has nothing to do with the people at the top, but in fact, the center of the entire network of relations must be some senior members of the DPRK and the central government, an independent individual, no matter how evil they are, it is impossible for them to become evil.

"Hehe, my good brother, the so-called all-in-one net is only a partial one-net, for example, the relationship along the way, the relationship network of the house. In short, the more people who pull them out, the better, and the emperor will definitely be happier. Ma Hanshan said with a smile.

"Yes, what exactly do you want to do for my brother, please explain it." Li Dangchen said.

"I don't need my brother to do anything, my brother just needs to bring these materials back to the emperor Lao'er, and let him press some people in the court when he needs to, this time, I want them to bite their own people, hum." Ma Hanshan looked up at Li Dangchen and said, "Does my brother know when Hu Yu will take office in Mingzhou?" ”

After knowing that Hu Yu was going to be transferred to Qingyuan Mansion, Ma Hanshan decided to let Hu Yu run Wujiazhuang. Hehe, although Hu Yu is not Shi Liyuan's most appreciated member of the Shi Party, he is the most exquisite person in the Shi Party, and he is also the least determined person in the Shi Party.

To put it bluntly, he is a wall-riding party that favors history, but he is a very smart wall-riding faction, such a person knows how to weigh the pros and cons the most, and also values his own pros and cons the most, and such a person is best to take advantage of.
