The next day, while having breakfast, Ma Hanshan wanted to continue the topic he had left last night. A Niu was very alert this time and spoke before he could speak.
"Master, we have studied it. Wang Lianhua's greatest advantage is his filial piety." A Niu glanced at Ma Hanshan and continued, "His greatest advantage is also his greatest weakness. Wang Lianhua lost his father in his early years and was raised by his widowed mother.
big……."
"Let me pick the key points." Ma Hanshan said while eating.
"Yes... Wang Lianhua's mother had a sweetheart... who was a white-faced scholar... who was actually a ruffian..." A Niu said calmly.
"She actually raises a pretty boy, wouldn't Wang Lianhua be so angry?" Ma Hanshan paused and then said, "Aniu, are you saying that this pretty boy can be used?"
A Niu grinned twice and said: "You can't hide anything from the young master. Wang Linghua is indeed very angry, but he is the most filial person. It must be because his mother has been widowed for many years and raised him, so understand her, he
He actually pretended to be deaf and dumb about this matter. The Queen Mother dotes on the pretty boy and almost obeys her every word, and Wang Lianhua especially listens to his mother, so..."
"Well, although this plan is a bit unpopular, it is still a way. Is there any other way? Everything should be recorded before doing it." Ma Hanshan said calmly.
"Yes... there is a record..." Liu Heizai said excitedly, "Woman... Wang Lianhua likes a woman very much, and that woman also likes him, but that woman's father is a member of Shi Liyuan's party, and she dislikes him very much.
…….”
"Haha, Hei Zai, do you want to be a matchmaker... Well, this method is better than A Niu's. Adult beauty is always a good thing. Who is the woman's father?" Ma Hanshan was very happy. These two guys are really attentive.
I came up with two solutions in one night.
"Then...that woman's father is Hu Ju, who is currently serving as a prisoner and deputy chief of the Privy Council." Liu Heizai reported.
"Very good, very good. You did your homework well. Well, this Hu Ju... What kind of official is an official serving as a prisoner?" Although Ma Hanshan studied the official positions of Da Da Song, there were too many, and he only remembered some important ones. This
This was the first time he heard about officials serving as prisoners.
"Young master, I heard that he is the emperor's butler..." Liu Heizai scratched his head and said.
Haha, it's okay for Liu Heizai to say this. This official is indeed one of the emperor's stewards. Because the official is in charge of: palace buildings, gold, jade, pearls, rhinoceros treasures and the production of exquisite utensils and gauze.
The embroidery and various unusual utensils are used to create official offices.
Look, it's all about serving the emperor, isn't that what the housekeeper does?
"Well, then what is the role of the deputy chief of the Privy Council who carries out decrees? He specializes in delivering decrees? Isn't that the job of a eunuch?" Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Young Master, I know this. It's not about passing the decree, it's about keeping the decree. The important documents of the Privy Council are handed over and kept by Du Chengzhi." A Niu rushed to say.
"Oh, Du Chengzhi is the director of the office, and this guy is the deputy director. Well, that's great. What grade is he? Do you have his information? Prepare a copy for me." Ma Hanshan nodded and said.
"He is a third-grade officer, young master." Liu Heizai said, "His information has been prepared by the liaison station and will be ready tomorrow."
"Well, okay...what about other aspects? Is there any other news? What have you done these days?..." Ma Hanshan was quite satisfied with the performance of these two guys.
"Brother Xian...Brother Xian, have you had breakfast..." A Niu was about to report other things, but Meng Lianggon ran in shouting and interrupted their conversation.
"Brother Meng, why are you here?" No matter who it was, he would be very annoyed if he interrupted his business talk.
"Haha, brother Xian, don't you welcome me here?" Meng Lianggon didn't care about Ma Hanshan's displeasure. He continued, "I'm here to take you, brother Xian, to see the house."
"What? You helped me find a house so quickly? Brother Meng, you don't want me to live here for a long time. Just find a house for me to look at." Ma Hanshan, a conspiracy theorist, sometimes gets really choked up when he talks.
of.
"Brother, what are you talking about? The longer you stay here, the happier I will be. Why don't you welcome me?" Meng Lianggon finally put away his smile and said seriously, "Just now, I mentioned to my father that you wanted to
When I was looking for a house, I scolded me at first. Later, I said that Xiandi’s people would live in the capital forever, so my father told me that there was a very good house in Baoenfang, but because...because it belonged to the former great scholar Liu Zhonghong, so
No one has dared to take over.”
"Since it is a good house, why don't you dare to take it over? Is the house haunted?" Ma Hanshan immediately forgot that Meng Lianggon interrupted his conversation with A Niu.
"It's not that the house is haunted, but because... because the house belongs to the Liu family. You don't know, Liu Zhonghong is a confidant of former Prime Minister Han Qizhou, and now Han Ye is scolding Prime Minister Han... so..." Meng Lianggon took a look.
Ma Hanshan said, "If you are not afraid of gossip, this house will be extremely cheap."
"It's just gossip, right? It's not illegal, right?" Ma Hanshan became interested.
His aim is not to take advantage of the situation and make lightning strikes.
Besides, he hates the leaders and factions of the surrender faction the most, and he is extremely disdainful of the current Prime Minister Shi Liyuan. Therefore, he is very interested in this house. As long as it does not break the law, why should he not dare to buy it?
"That's not illegal. This is the property of the Liu family, and it was confiscated by the court. It is traded normally. What kind of law is it breaking?" Meng Lianggon shook his head and said, "It's just that the public opinion of the government and the public is now controlled by Shi Liyuan's faction. I'm worried..."
"Haha, I'm not an official. I'm afraid of gossip... Go for a walk... Let's take a look... Oh Brother Meng, you reminded me, are there any other houses or other properties in Lin'an that belong to the so-called criminal officials? I bought them all.
"Ma Hanshan suddenly became excited, damn, this is a great opportunity to make a fortune.
When Meng Lianggon heard this, he felt suffocated. Oh, my brother is really different. Others are avoiding him, but he still wants to move forward. Alas, I really don't know what he thinks.
"This...that...should be there, but I have to go find out." Meng Lianggon scratched his head and said.
"Well, you can find out. As long as the acquisition is successful, I will give you a commission back." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Ah...we are brothers...your business is my business..." Meng Lianggon said with a blushing face.
If you have money to collect, then it's good to be kind.
Although the Meng family looks prosperous, Meng Zhong, as the name suggests, is too loyal and upright, so the Meng family is actually not rich. A general who is not rich will naturally have little money. Brother Meng Lianggon has always had money on hand.
He was not well-off, and because of this, when Ma Hanshan gave him shares, he said there would be millions of dividends, and he almost fainted with joy.
Now he said that he was getting money for helping to find a house. How could he not be happy? He felt that Ma Hanshan was closer than a real brother.
Ma Hanshan waved his hand and said: "Brothers are brothers, business is business, this matter is settled, we will go to see that bachelor's house later."
"Okay..." Meng Lianggon responded with a smile.
"Master, we also found a house... very good... but outside the city..." A Niu said anxiously.
"Ah? Really? Haha, great, where is it?" Ma Hanshan originally planned to look for real estate in the city and outside the city, but he didn't expect Aniu to find a house without even asking him. Well, not bad, not bad.
"Opposite Tianzong Water Gate, on the north bank of the Grand Canal..." A Niu whispered, looking at Ma Kanshan's face, because that place is already a suburb of the city, and there is a canal across it. Most people don't like it.
of.
"Ah, Aniu, you're talking about Lin'an Garden, right... That place... is pretty good, but... that's... Brother Xian, that place is really haunted..." Meng Lianggon exclaimed, "Lin'an Garden and the west side of the city outside Yuhang Gate
Across the water, the tile house turned out to be a villa belonging to a wealthy businessman. It occupied a large area and contained not only courtyards, gardens, but also woods and gardens... But... just a few years ago, the wealthy businessman's concubine was killed by his wife.
This villa has been haunted ever since..."
"Really? Lin'an Garden... That's awesome. Build a Lin'an Garden opposite Lin'an City. Haha, good, good, it suits my temper..." Ma Hanshan laughed.
Although he has now been shaken by the theory of ghosts and gods, unlike in his previous life, he never believed in it. However, he believes that it is impossible for a concubine to die and be haunted. Even if there is a ghost, as long as it is cheap, he is not afraid of it. The worst is to catch ghosts.
.
This guy is so courageous. Meng Lianggon looked at him and was speechless. He couldn't understand why his brother Ma Xian was so courageous and always did things that others didn't dare to do.
Which era's heroes and celebrities were not courageous? Although Ma Hanshan always said that he just wanted to build Wagang Village and wanted the villagers to live a good life. But the reality gradually made him deviate from his original ideal, and the reality forced him to gradually
He didn't even realize that he was following the trend of the times.
"Young Master, are you really not afraid?" A Niu raised his head and asked.
"Are you afraid? What are you afraid of if you're not afraid of me? Haha, Aniu, I'll leave this matter to you Heizi. Contact the seller right away. We've seen the bachelor's house and then went to see Lin'an Garden." Ma Hanshan particularly likes Lin'an Garden.
This name belongs to your uncle. The emperor has Lin'an City, and I have Lin'an Garden. Although it is not as big as Lin'an City, my life is definitely more comfortable than yours in Lin'an City.
This is true. The emperor is actually the most unhappy person. Even a foolish emperor is not happy. He says that he is the son of heaven and that all places belong to him and all his people are his subjects. So what? When the emperor can't even walk
How can you be happy if someone is taking care of you when you sit or lie down?
"Yes, young master, we will contact you right away." A Niu and Liu Heizai stepped back, and Ma Hanshan also went to see the house of Academician Liu with Meng Lianggon and Qi Nanyue.
The great scholar Liu is Liu Dexiu, whose pseudonym is Zhonghong and his nickname is Tuixuan.
This scholar, Liu, was not only an official, but also a poet, among other things. However, he was not the sour and rotten scholar that Ma Hanshan hated. On the contrary, he was a very advanced and fierce literati. He was the first to oppose Neo-Confucianism.
One person suggested that Neo-Confucianism was pseudo-science.
Liu Zhonghong was born as a Jinshi. He was awarded Zuo Di Gonglang and was known as a military household in Nankang. He rose through the ranks and held thirty-seven positions in the officialdom for more than forty years. Many positions were promoted after he had just arrived. Speaking of the number of official positions,
It is truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
The highest honor was to be granted the title of Duke of the Founding of the County, to be promoted to the imperial rank of Zhuguo, and to be given a purple gold fish bag. What's even more awesome is that this guy was not killed by Shi Liyuan. Historical records: He died of illness and died at the age of seventy-three.
At the age of 18, when I heard about the memorial, I was so moved that I decided to leave the court for one day.
