A knife in love

Chapter 2195
Madame knows that the comforter is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat easily, and Ma Langzhong speaks in a strange way, so he is not a good person to get along with.Therefore, although she persuaded Ma Langzhong to come back, she was always worried that the two would be hostile to each other, which would inevitably cause big trouble.At this time, Madam was startled when she heard what the comforter said, she was worried that Ma Lang would get annoyed, pat his butt and leave, fearing that the comforter's illness would break out again and his life would be in danger.Thinking of this, Madam was about to say something to persuade her, but she heard Ma Lang chuckled and said: "After so many years, Mr. Zhao still refuses to let go of the past, isn't he too narrow-minded? The villain has gone through a lot. The turmoil of life and death has long been taken lightly in the past, and I don't have the slightest intention to reverse the case, so you can rest assured."

Hearing what Ma Langzhong said, the pacifier gave himself a step down, so he nodded, and said: "This is the best. If you can cure this official's disease, how much gold, silver and jewels do you want? Just ask." That's right."

Ma Lang raised his eyebrows, glanced at the comforter, with a sarcasm on his face, and said: "Master Zhao has always regarded himself as an upright official with a very good official reputation, but now he promised to give gold, silver and jewelry to the villain. If the villain opens his mouth and asks Mr. Zhao for a few hundred thousand taels of silver, then where will the adult go to find silver to reward the villain?"

After hearing what Ma Langzhong said, Murong Danyan thought to himself that this guy is really capable, but he is too mean.Uncle no longer speaks badly to him, and has the intention of making friends, but he wants to pick a stone out of an egg and provoke a verbal dispute, which is too ignorant.

Thinking of this, Murong Danyan couldn't help being a little worried, for fear that the appeasement envoy would get angry and have an affair with Ma Lang again, and refused to let him treat his illness.Unexpectedly, the appeasement made the expression calm, without the slightest anger, just smiled lightly, and said in the mouth: "Mr. Take one penny for one penny. If it weren’t for this, Mr. Ma’s case back then would have offended many people, and no one would take it over. Finally, it would be handed over to this official. Later, this official was framed by traitors and expelled from the capital , was intercepted and chased by traitors again, panicked like a bereaved dog, and spent all the meager dozens of taels of eunuch money. Although in the end, thanks to the great grace of the emperor, he returned to Beijing and was promoted to an official position, but the salary alone I can only barely make ends meet, let alone gift a few 10 taels of silver to my husband, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get even a few taels of silver.”

The appeasement envoy sighed at this point, looked past the crowd, and looked straight out of the hall.Murong Danyan saw that the appeasement envoy's expression was dignified, and he was a little bit sad. He thought to himself, in order to escape for his life, Xiaoyu's biological parents had to stay away from the customs. They had suffered so much along the way, and they were already in a desperate situation. Otherwise, she would never entrust younger sister Xiaoyu to the old thief Yagyudan Mashou.Looking at Uncle's appearance, it seems that he remembered the situation of fleeing back then, which made him so sad.

When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, he heard the pacifier continue to say: "Although this official is poor, I don't want to embezzle and accept bribes like those filthy officials to make money. Maybe it's because of God's pity that this official made a fortune. In that year, I was ordered to go to the frontier on a mission. Unexpectedly, the Tatar army suddenly appeared and wanted to capture the frontier. The border guards rushed out and were ambushed by the Tazi soldiers. As a result, the entire army was wiped out. At that time, only There are more than a thousand old, weak and remnant soldiers, if they fight the Tartars to the death, they can only die. In desperation, I had no choice but to imitate the old story of Xian Gao rewarding the army and retreating the Qin soldiers, pretending to be imperial envoys, and went to the Tartar camp.

"The gathering of the Tartar army is actually just to force the imperial court to agree to open the market, and has no intention of attacking the Central Plains. After I arrived at the Tartar camp, I checked his face and saw the intention of the commander of the Tartar army, so he falsely declared The imperial court intends to re-open the market with the Tartars. The commander of the Tazi soldiers is overjoyed, but he is afraid that the official will deceive him, so he keeps the official in the camp and secretly sends someone to report the matter to the Tartar King. The Tartar King listened Said that the imperial court agreed to open a market for each other, and was overjoyed, so they sent envoys to the Tatar camp to sign a covenant with this official. Although I do not have the power to sign contracts with the Tartars, for the safety of the border, I still use the Guan Fang signed a covenant with the Tartars.

"After the agreement was made, the Tartar commander and envoy were overjoyed. They not only sent me out of the camp respectfully, but also presented me with several carts of gifts. The cart was loaded with 10 taels of silver, 5000 taels of gold, and a hundred bolts of silk and satin. .In addition, there are more than ten boxes of jewelry and jade, enough to be worth 50 taels of silver."

When the pacifier said this, not only Murong Danyan was stunned, but even Ma Langzhong, whose face was sinking all the time, widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.Zhao Da, who had stumbled and fell to the ground earlier, had already got up, his face and body were bloodstained, and he looked very embarrassed.After he got up, he originally planned to wash his face and hands, and then change into clean clothes, but the comforter and his wife didn't speak, and he didn't dare to leave without authorization, so he stood by the side and waited on him.Hearing what the pacifier said, he was also very terrified, thinking to himself that the day we left the Tatar camp, the Tartar commander really sent over a dozen carts of gifts to the master.The master rewarded most of the cloth, gold and silver, etc. to the generals defending the city, and I also shared 15 taels of silver.It's just that I didn't expect that besides the gold, silver and cloth, the Tartar commander would also give jewelry and jade. The master had never mentioned this before.Hmph, these adults are all full of benevolence and righteousness, but which one is not duplicity and insatiable greed? !
Among all the people in the hall, only the madam had a calm face, without the slightest hint of surprise. Presumably she already knew that the pacifier had made a fortune.I only heard the pacifier go on to say: "After getting this windfall, I distributed most of the gold, silver, cloth and silk to the soldiers guarding the city at the border. However, the jewels and jades cannot be cashed in at the border. I plan to take them back to the capital and find some A jewelry and gold store to exchange for cash silver, and then give it to the families of the soldiers who were ambushed by the Tartars and died in battle. However, after returning to the capital, I was framed by villains, and was immediately appointed by the court as a pacifier, and returned to the border. Guarding. Therefore, I have been forced to leave the capital and return to the border before I can convert the jewels and jades into cash, so these jewels and jades have been kept in my mansion."

When the appeasement envoy finished speaking, Ma Langzhong sneered, and said, "Master Zhao is the commander of the frontier, and he cannot yet convert jewelry and jade into cash. If it is given to a villain, it is no different from a pile of chaotic stones. It's just that the little People are a little strange, since your lord intends to use these jewels to comfort the soldiers who died in battle, although you can't go back to the Central Plains to convert the jewels into cash, you might as well send your confidantes to sneak back to the Central Plains with the jewels and find a few jewelry and gold shops to exchange them. into silver bills, and then give the silver bills to the families of the fallen soldiers. However, the adults keep these jewels and jades by their side, which cannot but make people suspicious."
