Chapter 593: Void and Grievance (Part II)
Lan Ziyi reached out and picked up the letter on the table and distributed it to Qiu Wenruo and the Tao brothers, and several people were grateful and quickly opened the letter to read it, and then circulated it to each other. After a few people finished reading the letter in their hands, everyone knew about what Luo Yingmin had done. After reading the last letter, Lan Ziyi crumpled the letter paper into a ball, and he opened his mouth and scolded:
"Luo Yingmin, this old thing, really deserves to be killed! He actually forbade grain to come in. ”
Qiu Wenruo said:
"I wonder if something is wrong. Even if the Beijing merchants have insufficient transportation capacity and manpower in the north, and the Kekehe River is such an important town and has a large population, how can there be merchants to transport grain to sell. In order to raise the price of grain and sell grain to make money, he Luo Yingmin actually ordered that grain from Heyin was not allowed to enter, and grain merchants from other places were actually banned from entering the country. ”
Tao Zhuhu said hatefully at this time:
"Young master, this Luo Yingmin is full of evil, and now the evidence is ironclad, what else do we have to wait for? It's time to go to the court and arrest Luo Yingmin and behead him for public display! ”
Lan Ziyi was filled with indignation when he first read the letter, but what Tao Zhuhu said was like a thorn, piercing all Lan Ziyi's anger. Lan Ziyi sat back on his seat like a deflated ball after Tao Zhuhu finished speaking, shook his head and sighed, he said:
"Big brother, have you forgotten what we are here for? After arresting Luo Yingmin, who can I borrow from? “
Peach Chase Tiger Road:
"Then young master, have you just left the people of Heyin alone?"
Peach Rabbit Road:
"It's better to use the things we have now as bargaining chips to blackmail Luo Yingmin, as long as these things are there, I'm not afraid that Luo Yingmin won't agree to our request."
Yue'er had already changed her clothes in the inner room at this time, and was pushing the door into the outer room, when she heard this, she said:
"San Lang's idea is good, but tearing his face like this, is Luo Yingmin willing to cooperate with Wei Hou with peace of mind? What Wei Hou wants to do is to bring down Zhang Mingyue, this matter is not something that can be done overnight, we will cooperate with Luo Yingmin for a long time in the future, and we will threaten it now, I am afraid that many things will not be discussed in the future. “
Peach Rabbit said angrily:
"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, how the hell is it going to work? What can be done if you are tied? ”
When a few people were talking, Qiu Wenruo got up and collected the letters scattered everywhere and reassembled them, he stumbled the letter paper in his hand neatly and put it in his arms, and then said to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, I came to Luo Yingmin this time for one thing, and asked Luo Yingmin to impeach Zhang Mingyue and protect the interests of Boss Cao. Now there is one more thing, that is, to quickly get food to help the victims of the Heyin disaster. Other things are just trivial things that revolve around these two things. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"That's true. But how can we do these two things well? Does Mr. Wen Ruo have a plan? ”
Qiu Wenruo said:
"It's nothing more than using both soft and hard, using means to force Luo Yingmin to let go."
Peach Rabbit smiled:
"Mr. Wenruo, I just said your method."
Qiu Wenruo shook his head and smiled:
"San Lang, you only said the means of brightening the knife, but you didn't say the means of giving sweetness, then Luo Yingmin shook his face at Wei Hou today, but he just wanted to ask for some benefits, if Wei Hou didn't give any benefits, he couldn't talk about it tomorrow, "
Peach Rabbit Road:
"So what to do?"
Qiu Wenruo smiled, looked at Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou, after meeting Luo Yingmin tomorrow, we just need to ...... like this"
That night, after everyone carefully considered and decided the details of tomorrow, everyone rested. Early the next morning, the moon waited for Lan Ziyi to bathe and change clothes, after a night's rest, Lan Ziyi's complexion recovered a lot, coupled with the countermeasures that everyone had discussed last night, Lan Ziyi looked extremely confident today.
After Lan Ziyi cleaned up, Luo Yingmin's people invited Lan Ziyi to go to breakfast together. Of course, Lan Ziyi knew what Luo Yingmin's calculations were, so he called the others to go to the banquet with Luo Yingmin's servants.
Luo Yingmin arranged breakfast in the back garden of Taishou Mansion, in the early morning garden in the fragrance of birds and flowers, fragrant leaves, when this hot day in August, choose to eat in such a place, it is very cool.
After Lan Ziyi was led to the place, he arched his hand and said to Luo Yingmin:
"A good place for Luo Da to choose is a good place to cool off and cool off."
Luo Yingmin said with a smile:
"Heyin, a large population, the old man here every day to see in addition to people is people, very upset, this back garden is a piece of pure land, no, I made a special trip to ask Wei Hou to come over a quiet and quiet. Wei Hou, please sit down, everyone sit together"
Under Luo Yingmin's greeting, everyone took their seats, and after sitting down, everyone picked up their own dishes and chopsticks to eat. It's just that Luo Yingmin is not very patient, and he didn't wait for Lan Ziyi to take a few more bites before asking:
"Wei Hou, what did you think about the matter I mentioned yesterday?"
Lan Ziyi's chopsticks were halfway raised, and after hearing Luo Yingmin's words, he put down the chopsticks, and he smiled:
"Lord Luo, as long as Beishang transports grain into the river, the shortage of grain will be alleviated, and you don't need to spend so much effort to collect grain and do thankless things."
Luo Yingmin's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted:
"Wei Hou still wants me to impeach the so-called Zhang Mingyue for sheltering the Beijing merchants, and the Beishang is tragically unjust? This matter is just chasing after the wind and shadows, and it is not the truth at all, and impeachment will not have any results. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"It is a well-known thing that Beijing merchants have a license to transport grain, and it is self-evident where their concession comes from, as long as they are willing to impeach, they will definitely be able to pop up the results."
Luo Yingmin said:
"The old man has not asked about the temple for many years, Zhang Mingyue is the head of the court, how can he say that impeachment can be impeached? I advise Wei Hou that you should be realistic and don't keep thinking about these nonsensical things. “
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"Impeaching Zhang Mingyue is certainly not an easy task, but Lord Luo's current situation is such that he can not be impeached without impeachment? The river ** is starving all over the wilderness, the displaced people are everywhere, the imperial court issued a decree to order all places to open warehouses and release grain, and the river ** has no movement, and the foreign government and grain merchants cannot enter Heyin, this kind of thing is impossible for the court to ignore, it is really necessary to wait until the court takes the initiative to intervene, Lord Luo, your situation is very passive. I heard that Lord Luo, your relationship with Zhang Mingyue is not very good. “
Luo Yingmin's face is not very good-looking now, and Lan Ziyi's words poked the pain in his heart, and his brows trembled. Lan Ziyi observed Luo Yingmin's face, and then said:
"Lord Luo, strike first to be strong, and then to suffer, if you don't move Zhang Mingyue, Zhang Mingyue will move you sooner or later,"
Luo Yingmin sneered:
"Wei Hou, it's not so persuasive to persuade people, if Zhang Mingyue is so easy to deal with, how can he be the first assistant for so long? If he wants to move me, I can only accept my fate, but I am afraid that it is not him Zhang Mingyue who moves me, but Wei Hou you. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"Lord Luo, what you said is chilling. Ziyi is wholeheartedly working for the benefit of Lord Luo, my lord thinks, as long as Beishang can obtain the grain transportation license, the grain road from Pingcheng to the old capital can be unimpeded, and then I can guarantee that all the grain in the river will be distributed by Lord Luo. With so many people waiting for food, Lord Luo, you don't get a little bit of a dividend. ”
