Rich and powerful

Tian Jingyu was very cunning, and with a few words, he dismissed Ma Ji's sarcasm.

"Come on! Please sit down!!"

Only then did Ma Ji happily take the seat.

Naturally, drinking was indispensable at the wine table. These officials seemed to be ordered to toast Ma Ji enthusiastically.

I can't see the unhappiness just now.

But Ma Ji sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He understood that these guys were deliberately acting for him.

Fortunately, he has an amazing capacity for alcohol, drinking one cup after another, but he is still unaffected.

Tian Jingyu saw it, and said with emotion: "Director Ma is really a good drinker! No wonder at this age, he is sitting in the position of Chief of the Yucheng Internal Affairs Office!"

Ma Ji is only less than 40 years old this year. In the officialdom, this age is the best period.

Energetic, flexible mind, coupled with profound experience, belong to the peak of ability.

Ma Ji's face was already a little red, and he waved his hands and said: "Master Tian is ridiculously praised! It's hard to turn down an official's hospitality, so please don't make it difficult for Mr. Tian to be an official!"

These words are also very profound.

Tian Jingyu could hear it naturally.

After all, Ma Ji is just an errand runner, and Tian Jingyu's making things difficult cannot solve the actual problem.

"Haha!! Alright! Let's let Manager Ma go for now! Let's eat vegetables!!"

As he said that, Tian Jingyu took the initiative to put a piece of fish in his bowl.

Ma Ji saw it in his eyes, but he cursed secretly in his heart.

It’s okay to add food, which means enthusiasm, but the meaning behind the food is worth tasting.

This Tian Jingyu is obviously telling himself with actions that no one in Haocheng can resist his request.

Ma Ji didn't eat, but put down his chopsticks.

Because he saw a middle-aged man walking in from the door.

This person is extraordinary, wearing a moonlight robe, with long hair tied behind his head by a jade hairpin, and he is shrewd all over his body.

Ma Ji asked: "This is..."

He understood that this banquet was arranged by Tian Jingyu for himself.

There is no way this meal will be smooth.

Therefore, he is extremely sensitive to strangers.

As soon as Tian Jingyu looked at the person, his eyes lit up immediately, he got up and introduced: "Director Ma, this is the master invited by me, named Lin Jinbiao!"

Lin Jinbiao clasped his fists and smiled, and said, "Boss Ma, I've heard of you for a long time!"

When Ma Ji heard the name, his heart was shocked, and he tentatively said: "What a coincidence! There is also a son named Lin in Yucheng, who is the Lin family of the vassal king. I don't know if Mr. is..."

Lin Jinbiao jokingly said: "Then it seems that Mr. Lin and I are a family!"

Ma Ji's complexion changed suddenly.

As an official under the jurisdiction of Fengyang County, who doesn't know how powerful the Lin family is?
And the person in front of him was completely beyond Ma Ji's expectation, and Lin Yun had never mentioned it before, which made him a little at a loss.

At the same time, I realized something was wrong.

Judging from the fact that this person is about 40 years old, he must be from the older generation of the Lin family.

Could it be that the son's plan has been exposed to the Lin family?Did the Lin family send someone to play tricks on purpose?

This was Ma Ji's first reaction.

He forced a smile, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "Since Mr. Lin is from the Lin family, why did he become a master in Haocheng?"

"If you want to talk about this, it's a long story! How about we talk about it when you have time some other day?"

Lin Jinbiao smiled.

Ma Ji can only nod.

Tian Jingyu sneered in his heart, this Ma Ji had never been humble before, but when he learned of his master's identity, he lost his sense of control.

This point, he just saw clearly.

Immediately, he winked at Lin Jinbiao and said, "Master Lin, come and sit down quickly! Have a drink with Manager Ma!"

Lin Jinbiao pretended to be unrestrained, and finally sat down, took the initiative to pick up the wine cup, and said, "Come on, Mr. Ma, this glass of wine is toast to you! Thank you for making a trip in person to deliver food to Haocheng and relieve us. Haocheng is urgent!"

One sentence forced the topic to food.

The accompanying officials all around remained silent, but stared at Ma Ji with ill intentions.

Ma Ji could only drink this glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, this batch of food can't be moved yet! We have to wait for my lord to come! Please bear with me!"

"Hey, since Mr. Qiu is willing to send food, he must be a person who is sympathetic to the people. It is better to distribute this batch of food directly, so as to alleviate the disaster as soon as possible! This early distribution of food can save countless people from starvation. A matter of immeasurable merit! I don’t know what Manager Ma wants?”

Ma Ji gritted his teeth secretly. He couldn't pretend anymore when he said this, and said in a deep voice: "No! The next official is only performing official duties! Mr. Tian, ​​don't embarrass the next official! Moreover, at the most tomorrow, my lord will Come here in person, just wait another night, it won't hurt!"

"Humph!!"

"boom!"

Lin Jinbiao suddenly turned his face, slapped the table, and shouted: "Ma Ji, you, the head of the House of Internal Affairs of Yucheng, dare to disobey the orders of my Lord Fu Yin? The sky is big, and the people's will is the greatest! Today , even if the Holy One is here today, I will plead for the people!!"

"That's right!! Master Lin is right!!"

"That is, you outsiders can't understand the suffering of the people of Haocheng!"

"These grains will be distributed earlier, and the people of Yucheng will surely have enough to eat tonight!"

The officials around spoke to each other one by one, as if Ma Ji didn't agree, it was a big treason.

And Tian Jingyu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just stared at Ma Ji with a smile on his face.

To be able to sit in the position of Fu Yin must not be an ordinary person.

In the face of old foxes like Lin Yun and Qiu Guangri who have become fine, he dared to be tough.

He didn't take it to heart at all for a mere racing season.

What's more, he moved Lin Jinbiao out to put pressure on Ma Ji on purpose.

He knew that Lin Yun and Qiu Guangri would come tomorrow, so he had to collect the food as early as tonight.

At that time, even if Lin Yun and Qiu Guangri get mad, he will not be afraid.

The other party will not kill him directly.

Even if you kill him, you still can't find the food.

Still have to go back to the negotiating table and renegotiate.

And it's cheap.

Seeing that all the officials around him were targeting him, Ma Ji stood up abruptly, and said with a sneer, "Okay! Since you and others have already discussed it! Then I, Ma Ji, will also leave the word here. The 20 catties of grain are outside the house. If you have the ability, go grab it!"

Lin Jinbiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Boss Ma, let me ask you one last time, are you really not going to order the distribution of food?"

Ma Ji shook his head resolutely, and said with a sneer: "If Master Lin uses the elite of the Lin family, he will definitely be able to grab this batch of food!"

"You!! Okay, you asked for this!! Come here!!"

Invisibly, Lin Jinbiao had already emptied Tian Jingyu.

He is just a master, but he oversteps the bounds and exercises the power of the governor of a city!
