Chapter 93 Water Prison
"Lord Ma, isn't this too... a lower official also has a family to support, Sanqi is a bit too..." Tao Jianxian hesitated, hesitating.

Ma Xizhong sighed, and spread his hands helplessly: "Master Tao, our family sees you as a smart person, and cooperation will be indispensable in the future, so we tell you the truth. Do you think that seven cents have gone into our pockets? The upper layers of our family, I don’t know how many people there are! Our family can’t go up layer by layer? So here, our family should not be too much.”

Tao Jianxian struggled undecided, Ma Xizhong patted him on the shoulder, and said kindly like an old friend: "This is for Master Tao's sake, if it were anyone else, our family would be worth eight points...Master Tao, come on!" Shanyuan, don't be shameless."

The eunuch's tone was friendly, but the second half of the sentence revealed a cold threat.

Ma Xizhong was the eunuch with palm seals in the palace. When Tao Jianxian was in Kuaiji, he had heard how the eunuch smiled like a tiger. Now that he was dealing with him for the first time, he realized that he had to add three words before the words: weasel.

After a long time, Tao Jianxian's fingertips in the official robe turned white, and he said in a low voice: "...Okay, according to the seven-point conversion, seventy Hepu pearls, I will offer you with both hands."

"That's right, Mr. Tao is really a smart person and knows how to do things! This time, the official circles in Biandu say that you eat alone, let us help you settle it!" Ma Xizhong smiled, but suddenly changed the subject, and his subordinates became stronger, "...But Master Tao, what are you planning to do in Biandu official circles to ask me to report your merits? This kind of little trick is easy to fool when we are Beijing officials? Let me tell you, who is not shrewd to be able to gain a firm foothold under the feet of the emperor? Like a ghost? How can you and other local officials be able to calculate?"

The eunuch's strength was unexpectedly heavy, Tao Jianxian felt a huge force coming from his shoulders, his face turned pale, and his knees suddenly fell three inches.

He hastily apologized: "Master Ma, please forgive me. It is because I have eyes that I don't know Mount Tai, so please trouble your lord. Everyone from Biandu will hold a banquet at the Quick Green Hall tonight. It is an apology to welcome your lord. I hope your lord will reward you!"

Only then did Ma Xizhong let go of his hand, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "...it's not impossible to send me a job, but there's no such thing as free benefits in the world, so if you negotiate the price in advance, you can talk about anything! Our family still values ​​Mr. Tao Yes, more cooperation in the future, everyone will be happy!"

Tao Jianxian's waist was almost folded in half, he nodded and bowed and even said yes, and at the same time he secretly said that all the officials in the capital are ruthless characters, and now he has really seen it.

It seems that in dealing with Beijing officials in the future, one has to be very careful.

Tao Jianxian taught himself a lesson, Ma Xizhong put the green jade bucket into his arms, and was about to leave contentedly, but stopped at the door, turned his head slightly, and said meaningfully.

"Today, Mr. Tao let our family hear the conversation between you and Miss Huang. Our family accepted this heart-to-heart sincerity. No matter what you want to do in the future, our family can turn a blind eye to it... Just negotiate the price in advance."

"Yes, more cooperation in the future, everyone will be happy."

Tao Jianxian bent down and repeated Ma Xizhong's words over and over again. It seemed that this bet was right, and it wasn't all bad after all.

Ma Xizhong smiled, turned and left, the moment the candlelight disappeared behind him, his eyes became pitch black like the night outside.

—He doesn't care what happens to this Congress.

People in the world don't regard eunuchs as human beings, so there is no need for him to treat this country as his own.

After confirming that Ma Xizhong had left, Tao Jianxian put on a hooded cloak and walked into the night. He didn't light a lamp, and he didn't have any servants. He cut through the night like a ghost, and walked into a water prison somewhere in the county prison.

"You can go." Tao Jianxian stopped and looked at the half of the person exposed on the chest-high water.

The pitch-black water smelled sour. Mosquitoes flew around and buzzed so loudly that it made the scalp numb. The detainee in the water was only exposed to the upper body, and his hands were chained to the opposite bank. Because of the long-term soaking, his whole body was numb. Swollen into hair.

"Heh, Lord Tao made such a move to kill me and Sun He in the face of the limelight, and now he can let them go so easily?" The person on the water slowly raised his head and sneered hoarsely, "...Could it be Lord Tao, There are also times when plans fail?"

Tao Jianxian shrugged and did not hide it: "Shenshou Yan, congratulations, you guessed it right. Yes, I lost to Jin Mingwei. She and her grandmother put me together. I can only let you go, otherwise the people outside will wait and see." I will demonstrate it myself, and if I check it, I can find it on my own head."

After a pause, Tao Jianxian added: "Of course I don't think that Jin Mingwei saved you out of any good intentions. After all, because of Lu Xingshan's case, she probably still has a grudge against you. It's just that now that she saves you, it's not good for her." It's a good plan."

Yan Shenshou was silent for a moment, then tugged at the corner of his mouth: "...you are magnanimous."

"I don't regard you as an enemy. I value you and Xu Qi very much. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future." Tao Jianxian said in a sincere tone, "Even if you and Sun He want to report on me, I have no choice but to kill you." You are just talking about the facts, not against you... If you really die, I will visit your grave every year and give you a drink."

"A matter of fact? It should be said that you will do whatever it takes to achieve your own goals." Yan Shenshou showed a hint of sarcasm, "So you just acted ruthlessly and sent a total of 18 of Sun He's brothers to Dahuiying and the government. Did they have a reputation as a master in their transactions?"

"It was they who came to Bian to look for me... I have warned them before, not to come." Tao Jianxian said lightly, "Bian is no better than Kuaiji, and they don't make trouble with bandits. , I’m afraid that if I haven’t seen me, I will die at the hands of officials.”

"Don't come? I'm afraid you want to trap them in Kuaiji and treat them as victims of your plan! Fortunately, they still regard you as the only hope and way out, waiting for you to save them." Yan Shen's voice trembled, and he When he heard all this from Sun He, just listening to it made his blood boil.

What kind of heart of stone do you have to have to deceive your comrades who have lived with you for more than ten years, and treat them like sheep and keep them at the gate of hell?
Kick them at any time for planning, and kick them into the iron frying pan of hell.

"I used to follow Xu Qi's order to make deals with you, and I thought you were a man of means. Now it seems that you have nothing but means, no human heart, no human warmth." Xu Gritting his teeth, Qi said, "You're a lunatic..."

"So, don't stop me, no one else."

Tao Jianxian interrupted suddenly, he was facing the light, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but in the dim light, his teeth were white and white, like a demon wandering in the world.

One word at a time, heart-stirring.
