What can I do if I have to drive him away before the silver is received, the shopkeeper frowned and looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Lord Lin, if you don't receive the silver for dinner, the villain can't make a difference, do you think it's ......?"

Seeing that he looked like he was not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, he didn't understand what his face and advance and retreat were, and several people were also a little impatient in their hearts. Pei Yuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, snorted, "Lord Lin, I haven't been here for a few days, and your shopkeeper here has become more and more conscientious." Did you ask me to come here today to see this?"

The mocking words refer to Sang scolding Huai, which sounds good is conscientious, and if it is ugly, it is no rules, implying that Lin Lan is not right on the sea and has no way to control his subordinates, and he is embarrassed. It's disrespectful to not know the master, and now I can't understand what is happening here with a dead face. They are all court officials, so naturally they will not do such a thing as eating the overlord's meal, and today is Lin Lanhai banquet for them to eat, so it is reasonable for them to come forward to be the first bird to rush to pay the bill. Now that such a thing happened in his inn, it can be said to be big or small, but if it is not handled well and it is spread by others, not to mention Lin Lanhai, they will also have a plummeting reputation.

"Presumptuous, I said why are you so blind, Lord Lin invited a few adults to his inn to eat, it was to give the inn a long face, and be careful of your little life if you are messing around. Glancing at the sarcastic smiles that slowly hooked up at the corners of the mouths of several other people, Wu Jingren frowned and secretly screamed that it was not good, and while Lin Lanhai had not yet attacked, he took the lead in scolding.

"You go, you won't be used tomorrow. Lin Lanhai said sharply with an unkind face. With an aggrieved and angry face, he was obviously angry, but he still endured it and didn't have a seizure.

The shopkeeper stood honestly in place, facing the few powerful people in front of him who had high-ranking officials and Houlu who could pinch him to death at will, he was as small as an ant, but he did not show the slightest cowardice. looked at Lin Lanhai with a puzzled look, and said with a puzzled face: "The villain is dedicated to doing things for the Lord, if there is anything that is not thoughtful, I hope Lord Lin will bear with it." As for not doing things here, the villain will obey the master's arrangement, so Master Laurin will not bother. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Lanhai's originally endured anger suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption, and he slapped the table hard in annoyance, stretched out his hand and pointed straight at the shopkeeper, "Presumptuous, you are so bold, you dare to talk to Lord Ben like this and call your shopkeeper here." "A lowly subordinate dares to climb on the head of his master lawlessly, and he wants to see that he can't clean him up today.

Hearing that he was looking for the shopkeeper, "Okay, adults, please wait a while, and the little ones will come when they go." The shopkeeper hunched back a few steps before turning around and going out.

Lin Xiaoyou and Lin Xiaoyu still stood by the wall and listened quietly, it seems that they have gained a lot from going out today, not only reunited with their senior brother, but also heard a good show, she is waiting to see how Lin Lanhai will step out of this door today. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but raise his head to see Lin Xiaoyu's reaction, but found that he was also looking at himself with burning eyes. Hurriedly lowered her head, and secretly scolded herself: Didn't she just want to observe him and confirm the speculation in her heart, whether it was this qiē arranged by him, there was no need to arrest her right at once!

I wanted to say something, but the voice next door sounded, presumably the shopkeeper had already brought the shopkeeper over. Inevitably missing the show, Lin Xiaoyou hurriedly concentrated on listening.

"The little one has seen all the adults, and the shopkeeper is not good at greeting the adults, please forgive me. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin body and a kind complexion, and a plain robe that has the elegant taste of a scholar. When he entered the door, he first saluted everyone kindly, and then turned around and lectured the shopkeeper next to him: "What should you do? You don't have long eyes, don't you go up to accompany the adults. ”

The shopkeeper pursed his lips as if he was unwilling, and retorted: "It is a matter of course to pay the bill for dinner, and the villain is just doing things according to the rules." ”

"Wrong is wrong, you still quibble. The shopkeeper's face sank, his eyes flashed with light, and his elegant appearance revealed a calm and atmospheric appearance, and he was a person who had seen the world at a glance.

Even the shopkeeper is not the person he used to be, what is going on? Although Cao Lizhi and the others were puzzled in their hearts, it was difficult for outsiders to interfere, so they had to stand quietly and watch

"Are you the shopkeeper here?" Looking at the visitor, Lin Lanhai frowned slightly, his eyes were deeply sharp and inquiring. Although he has not intervened in the management of the property under the name of the Lin Mansion, the Wu family will generally report to him if there is anything. Now that the inn he often comes to has changed people, but the Wu family has never mentioned it to him, causing him to lose face in front of everyone, which is really damned.

Hearing Lin Lanhai's questioning question, the shopkeeper looked at him calmly, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to Lord Lin, the villain is." ”

This Wu family is really becoming more and more lawless, he doesn't report anything to him, and he dares to hide it from him even though he has changed people. Lin Lanhai glared at him with a fierce look in his eyes, and his ruthless expression made him extremely gloomy, "Where is the white shopkeeper before?" Lord Ben wants to ask him, is he afraid to eat fat after working here for so many years, and the cash register has actually received from Lord Ben. ”

"Oh, doesn't Lord Lin know?" asked the shopkeeper with a surprised look on his face. seemed to be very surprised by what Lin Lanhai didn't know.

Sure enough, his surprised reaction immediately lifted Lin Lanhai's heart, knowing? What should he know? He only knew that he was hosting a banquet for his colleagues today, and no matter what happened, he should report it privately, instead of messing around like this. As the shopkeeper didn't know how to restrain himself, Lin Lanhai glared at him dissatisfied, in front of everyone, he was now riding a tiger, and said coldly: "In this case, you can tell Lord Ben about the matter, if you can't tell the reason, you should know the consequences." At the end of the sentence, there was a word of warning.

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and said in a steady and polite voice: "It's like this, Lord Lin, as far as the villain knows, this Jin Xiangrui Inn was an industry under your name before. But since yesterday, the Lin Mansion has sold it to my master, and the deed has been passed, does Lord Lin really not know about this?"

"What did you say?" With a loud sound, Lin Lanhaijing grabbed the jade bowl on the table and threw it towards the shopkeeper's feet in an instant, what did he really mean that he didn't know about this, as if he knew it and deliberately concealed it. "Why did a good inn sell to your master, if you don't explain it clearly to Lord Ben today, Lord Ben will never give up. He has been in a high position for a long time, and his usual expression of not being angry is already terrifying, but now he is really angry, and his body exudes a thick bloody aura.

The shopkeeper, who was still fearless and entangled just now, was so frightened that he lowered his head in fear and didn't dare to look at it again. Secretly said: It's good to find the shopkeeper, otherwise he will be finished today, and he will only go out horizontally if he comes in vertically.

The shopkeeper stood calmly in place, not afraid or annoyed, his eyes swept over the other people present, and he raised his voice slightly and said: "Lord Lin, if it weren't for the Lin Mansion's intention to sell this inn, how could my master get it! ”

This is a beautiful statement, one of them is that because the Lin Mansion wants to sell the inn, the owner of his family will accept it easily, and he will make his position simple and effective. Second, as for the reason why the Lin Mansion wants to sell the inn, to put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with them. If it was his turn for an outsider to intervene in the affairs of the Lin Mansion, then Lin Lanhai, the main owner of the high-ranking official Houlu, would not be very good. Eating imperial food but not even taking care of his own family affairs, how can such a person be able to live in a high house. No matter how angry Lin Lanhai was, the shopkeeper was calm and polite, but the words he said were worth reverie.

The people present were all members of the imperial court, as a person in the officialdom, how cunning his mind was, and the shopkeeper was not light or heavy, Cao Lizhi and others immediately understood, and they all shot their deep suspicious eyes at Lin Lanhai, with deep meaning in their eyes. As an official of the imperial court, he has no ability to handle the affairs of the palace well, and he came out here to play prestige and bully a subordinate, such a person's character is problematic.

Lin Lanhai couldn't believe what he heard, not to mention that the inn was sold, and a small subordinate even ridiculed himself in front of everyone. For a while, the heart and lungs exploded, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed. looked fierce, and the hatred in his eyes wanted to immediately eat the shopkeeper alive.

Wu Jingren looked at Lin Lanhai, then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, knowing that this time the matter was a big problem. My sister quietly sold the inn, and I hadn't heard her mention such a big thing, so I couldn't help but complain secretly. Most of the properties of the Lin Mansion are hidden in his name, and the wealth in the mansion is abundant, not to mention that it is okay, even if there is really something, he will definitely not go to the step of selling the inn to deal with the emergency, not to mention that it is still a prosperous shop in this excellent location. Could it be that she really encountered any trouble, and she didn't dare to tell Lin Lanhai, so she took the risk to do so.

After thinking for a while, Wu Jingren opened his mouth and asked: "Shopkeeper, can you think clearly, what kind of person is Lord Lin, our lords who were once officials are naturally bright-eyed and clear-minded, is it possible that you dare to doubt your lords' vision." You have to dare to stir up trouble in the middle, don't say that Lord Ben can't spare you, this Lord Pei is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and none of your thoughts can escape his eyes, with Master Pei's fair and strict style, the Criminal Department can empathize with one thousand and eight kinds of capital punishment. He put a high hat on everyone, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Pei Yuan beside him for the shopkeeper as a warning.

Pei Yuan snorted, but didn't say anything.

"That's right, we still know very well what Lord Lin is. At this time, Cao Lizhi actually stood up to speak for Lin Lanhai. In any case, Lin Lanhai has been an official for many years, and he still has a certain number of connections in the officialdom, and he can't be unhappy with him for this trivial matter.

Receiving everyone's support, Lin Lanhai breathed a sigh of relief. The inn was sold privately, and Wu did not report it to him in advance, and the account was settled for her when she returned home. Now that the matter has come to this point, if he continues to pursue it, wouldn't it really prove to others that he can't handle his own affairs well, and he will take people here to spill it. He was sure that if he did this at this time, he might be angry for a while, but early tomorrow morning, the emperor would receive a few copies of the impeachment of him. In the desperate struggle for power and profit in the DPRK, how many eyes are staring at his position, in case he is not careful, the wolf meat will be caused by a commotion, and his position is in danger.

Lin Lan has been in the officialdom for decades, and the thoughts of the people who have come over in the wind and waves are not ordinarily simple. Thinking like this, he just put away the domineering attitude just now. As soon as the anger went down, his heart was much clearer, and he couldn't help asking: "You are a master, and now in front of all the adults, you will tell this master, who is your master?"

"Please forgive Lord Lin for this, the villain is not the master's direct subordinate, so the villain does not know the true identity of the master. The shopkeeper's half-truths and half-truths, and his words were extremely sincere, but no one could make mistakes.

"Really?" Lin Lanhai agreed coldly, and said after a while: "It's okay, sooner or later, when we meet, Lord Ben will have a banquet for you today, and the meal money will be counted on Lord Ben's head." ”

"Understood. Today's events are all misunderstandings, and there are a lot of them, so please don't mind. The shopkeeper stepped forward and bowed. Then he said, "As for the food, there are twenty-six thousand three hundred taels of silver. ”

Good guy, as soon as the words came out, Rao is Cao Lizhi and the others couldn't help but gasp.

"Bold, you dare to blackmail the court officials?" Before Lin Lanhai could say anything, Wu Jingren had already shouted and asked menacingly.

Lin Lanhai's face finally eased and darkened again, how could his own inn not know the price, even if he ordered all the most expensive dishes, it was only a few hundred taels of silver, and besides, their table was full of only a dozen dishes, no matter how much he calculated, it was impossible to tens of thousands. He was going to do this, but the other party was always pestering him like a snake. couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "Your master has such a great ability, and the cost of a meal is dozens of times more expensive than Biluoju." ”

The shopkeeper grinned: "Open the door to do business, don't steal and don't rob, about the crime of extortion that Lord Wu said, the villain can't afford it." The master instructed that whenever Lord Lin patronized, we must take care of it wholeheartedly, so the price of the dishes ordered by Lord Lin will increase a hundredfold. ”

"What? You're too deceitful. Wu Jingren roared angrily, and was stopped by Lin Lanhai when he wanted to say something.

Now, he is a fool and understands that today's incident must have been deliberately arranged for him, and people came prepared, so he couldn't be entangled. Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "You go to the Lin Mansion account room to settle the bill by yourself." "When he went out and wanted to eat at his inn, he didn't have much money on him at all, and he didn't bring anyone with him, and now it is impossible to send someone back to get the silver.

"I'm sorry Lord Lin, our inn only accepts on-site payment, and silver and silver tickets are fine. The shopkeeper once again politely dismissed Lin Lanhai's words.

"So if Lord Ben doesn't accept on-the-spot payment, he won't be able to get out of this door, right?" Lin Lanhai's tone was not good, and his sharp eyes swept towards the shopkeeper.

In the face of a group of big people whose status is many times higher than his own, the shopkeeper still does not change his face and is respectful and polite. If you do your duty well and do not allow you to be oppressed, how can such a person be a fool. At this moment, as soon as Lin Lanhai opened his mouth, he immediately looked at his thoughts in his eyes, his eyes rolled, and he smiled and said: "Whatever Lord Lin says, it is natural to go, but as soon as you walk out of the door like this, if people who don't know make waves and say that you eat overlord meals, the villain is very worried that this will damage the prestige and career of you and your adults." He cleverly counted Cao Lizhi and the others together, saying that he was worried, and there was no shadow of worry in that smiling face.

Almost instantly, everyone's fierce gaze shot towards Lin Lanhai, and their gloomy eyes contained dissatisfied anger. This Lin Lanhai's own affairs in his own house are not handled well, and it will also harm them, so he would not have come here if he knew about it, and he would be angry after having a meal, so it would be better to have less contact with him in the future. Before he knew it, everyone had already separated from him.

Okay, well, it's also threatened, it's really good, thinking about when he was so angry, Lin Lanhai laughed angrily and terrifyingly.

On this day, Lord Shang Shulin of the dignified ministry squandered tens of thousands of taels of silver at the Jin Xiangrui Inn, and finally because he didn't bring people and enough silver, in desperation, he cheekily borrowed money from several other adults present, and the five of them finally scraped together the money for this meal.

It is said that after this incident, the story of Lord Lin borrowing money and squandering it accidentally spread all over the Dragon Studios, and various versions circulated one after another, becoming an amateur joke used by people to spend their leisure time after dinner on the streets and alleys. It has become a negative teaching material used by the noble mansion to warn oneself and his subordinates to be cautious in their words and deeds.

The other officials who received the news excitedly put down the affairs in their hands one by one, and rushed into the study to refuel and write the excerpts of impeachment overnight.
