The Tianjin Tax Envoy Ma Tang has been very popular over the years. This person was originally a young prison in the Seal and Shoujian. Later, he took no idea who he had taken. He was sent as a Tianjin Tax Envoy and was also in charge of the Linqing Tax Customs.

It has to be said that Ma Tang has great means to make money, and he gave much filial piety to the palace, which won the emperor's favor. Therefore, even though there was a civil war in Linqing a few years ago, merchants collectively sacked the market, and even gathered people to set fire to the government office, his status as a Tianjin tax envoy has never wavered.

However, in the past few days, Eunuch Ma has been very thoughtful. Yesterday, Shi Yuanya's visit from the fourth division of the East Factory made him more worried. He was very angry with Gao Huai, the Liaodong Mining Supervisor who was disrupting the situation, but he couldn't do anything to the other party.

Shi Yuanya brought Ma Tang the words of Si Li and Eunuch Chen, who was very concerned about this matter, Dongchang could help intercept people, but why did the aftermath be cured?

The implication is that Chen Ju cannot take this matter to the end. It is best to be good. If he cannot be good, he will not help each other. After all, Chen Ju cannot tear him apart from Gao Huai and make a big fight.

You should know that although Chen Ju is the eunuch in charge of the seal of Sili, Silijian is not the one that he can cover the sky with his hands. The rest of his pens are all watching this matter.

If the task is too ugly, no one will mention it to the emperor, and then things will be out of control.

Ma Tang had nothing to say about this, and who made this matter his hand. If he was not doing things cleanly, he would naturally be exposed one day.

But this incident was really wrong, but it happened to be at the critical moment when Ma Tang was promoted to Si Li Bing. If the matter could not be suppressed, most of the time, Ma Tang would never have the hope of becoming eunuch Bingbi in this life.

Now, in addition to the people from the East Factory taking action, Ma Tang also sent a lot of people under him. Can he intercept the person? One can see the will of heaven, and the other is to see what Gao Huai's actions are behind his back.

Now, except for waiting for news, Ma Tang didn't know what he could do.

There is no possibility of arguing with his competitor Gao Huai at all.

There is only one missing pen, either he or Ma or Gao Huai, and there is no third result.

Whoever rises, who cannot rise, is related to their future status and even their destiny.

With a lot of worries, Ma Tang lost his mind to go to the front hall to give his subordinates today. He sat in the room and decorated his beard in front of a mirror.

Unlike the outside world who thinks that all husbands are pale and have no beards, many of the eunuchs in the palace are actually beards, and roughly one out of the dozen people has a beard.

This is because in addition to collecting young children after being castrated, the palace also recruits people who are castrated as adults from time to time.

This move once aroused strong opposition from the Foreign Court, but no matter how fierce the Foreign Court opposes, thousands of "self-deprecating" in Beijing every year seek the opportunity to enter the palace to be husbands. If the palace interrupts the way these people enter the palace, it will undoubtedly eliminate the hope of these people and even take the lives of these people. Therefore, no matter how fierce the Foreign Court opposes, the palace should still attack them.

If a large number of adult eunuchs are recruited, there will naturally be a bearded husband.

Ma Tang himself was not a "self-immortal" background, but a palace that he entered at the age of eight. Perhaps he ate too much good food after he became an adult and had a beard growing again without realizing it, which made Ma Tang very proud.

This kind of pride is a bit abnormal, but it is a true portrayal of the eunuchs in the palace.

The beard is a symbol of a complete man, even if there is nothing below.

It is said that many foreign eunuchs will stick a fake beard to show their majesty in front of officials.

The Tax Supervisory Office of Matang is located on the east side of the Tianjin Bingbei Yamen. There are many "Haoshima Rods" and "Shihu" in the Yamen. These are all tax collectors recruited by Matang. The number is three or four hundred, and there are many outlaws in it.

It is precisely because of these rogue villains that Ma Tang showed off his power in Tianjin and used all his skills to make money for the emperor.

The more money you send to the palace, the more stable Ma Tang's status will be. On the contrary, if Ma Tang wants to have a stable position, he will have more subordinates to recruit.

With a large number of people and power, coupled with the identity of the tax supervisor, Ma Tang is like a local tyrant in Tianjin, and no one in Tianjin's civil and military affairs dares to provoke him.

Of course, in addition to sending money to the palace in recent years, Ma Tang has also made a lot of money himself. This is something that everyone knows, and even the emperor knows.

However, the foreign dynasty cannot earn money for the emperor, and the emperor can only rely on these internal priests. Even if they know that these internal priests are greedy, they still trust them very much. For this reason, the emperor would rather bow to the outside on the "foundation of the country", but never lay off the mining priests.

When Ma was decorating his beard in the house, outside, a stick named Pang Bao, with a hundred taels of silver notes in his hand, asked to see Ma with hope.

This is the first time Pang Bao has asked to see Eunuch Ma after being a tax supervisor for the first time three years, so he is very nervous.

After handing over the red envelope of Ma Qijin and five taels of silver that Ma Qijin brought from the capital, Ma Qijin led Pang Bao to the backyard of the tax supervisor.

The Tax Supervision Office was originally a house of a wealthy businessman in Tianjin, but because the wealthy businessman was very blind, the whole family has now gone to Nanzhili.

When he arrived at the backyard, Ma Qijin asked Pang Bao to wait, and went in and sent a message to him.

"Pang Bao?"

Ma Tang has a good memory. When his subordinates talked about the name of the person, Pang Bao's appearance appeared in his mind. This person seemed to be a good man who recruited the yamen three years ago. He looked not outstanding on weekdays.

"What did he ask our family?"

Ma Tang was a little unhappy. If Ma Qijin hadn't been his distant nephew in his hometown, he would have been scolded a few times.

"I guess I want to ask Uncle San to give me a better job."

"How much did you charge me?" Ma Tang glared at the distant nephew.

Ma Qijin smiled embarrassedly, Ma Tang snorted slightly, not quarrel with him, and waved his hand: "Let him come in."

"Why!"

Ma Qijin felt relieved and hurried out to bring the person in.

"Little Pang Bao has met his father-in-law!"

As soon as he entered the room, Pang Bao shouted softly, then stopped moving forward, lowered his head, stood by the door, looking very respectful.

Pang Bao's appearance made Ma Tang nod slightly. He looked up and down at Pang Bao, who was not good-looking, and slowly spoke: "What's the matter with us?"

"I replied to my father-in-law, and the young man wanted to go to the palace to serve, so I asked my father-in-law to give me some advice."

After staying in the tax supervision office for more than three years, although he had never been seen by Eunuch Ma at all, Pang Bao knew Eunuch Ma and knew that Eunuch Ma liked to go straight and talk to others, and did not like to circle around. The more direct you are, the better. If you are not tactful enough, it would make him angry.

"Enter the palace?"

What Pang Bao asked for made Ma Tang stunned: I am afraid that this person will be thirty years old, so why do you still want to enter the palace?
