Chapter 430: Loss of Proportion
Lin Yutang's panic when he heard the news had calmed down a lot, and he also knew that since this news could come here so quickly, it would show the attitude of the government. I have been operating here for such a long time, and the money is sprinkled enough, and I already have enough relationships to rely on.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice:
"Little Liu, did you arrange this matter!"
Hearing his master ask, Lin Liu's face suddenly became mournful, and he said there:
"Master, you just give me the courage to do such a big thing!"
"Lin Liu, you go to the counter and bring up two thousand taels of silver, go to the yamen to make some things up and down, keep your mouth shut, don't let the Jiang boss of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank know, hurry up and prepare a carriage and horse for me, and I will go to meet the Lord Yanyun!"
When his housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went out to get busy, Lin Yutang sat alone in the house, and the servants and maids in the distance looked at their master so angry, and he dared to come and find it uncomfortable, Lin Yutang stayed for a while, picked up the teacup in his hand and slammed it on the ground, and it was shattered immediately, he sat on the chair, panting and whispering:
"Who did it, these two turtle grandsons, Lao Tzu wanted to sell them in the limelight in the past, what a fucking ......"
After being bored for a long time, Lin Yutang raised his voice and shouted outside:
"Invite the new nursing master Liu to the flower hall, and I will come back to see him in the evening."
The so-called young guy who ran out after beating the drum, a few very impatient officials went out to receive him, and when he heard that he was going to sue Lin Yutang, the largest local salt merchant, all of them were pale, and they half-pushed and half-dragged the young man who complained about it into the court, and the official who tried the case was the local magistrate, but unfortunately there were more than three rivers and salt transporters above this seven-grade official, and there was any power to manage things.
Hearing the complaint of the young man covered in blood below, he was immediately speechless in fright, but everyone above the yamen was watching, and there was no reason to push it out, so he could only detain this young man in the cell on the grounds that the matter was too big to be judged lightly, and then asked for instructions layer by layer.
The entire Yamen at all levels in Jining were fed with money by the salt merchants, and with such a big news, someone immediately rushed out to deliver a letter to Lin Yutang.
Lin Fu's reaction was also extremely fast, and soon a lot of silver was spilled, and the movement up and down was actually an hour after this guy complained, and the news was completely suppressed, saying that the human and physical evidence was insufficient, and it was going to be retried the next day, and many 'witnesses' stood up to testify, saying that Boss Lin had been busy with the affairs of the Salt Society in the past few months, and had not been in contact with any indiscreet people.
What made Lin Yutang breathe a sigh of relief was that Jiang Huifeng, who was from Sanjiang Commercial Bank, finally moved out of the Lin Mansion and lived in the residence arranged by Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and it was said that he would live here for another half a month before leaving, and Lin Yutang did not go to Jiang Feng to return to Tang Xuan, and now he wanted to cover up this matter.
After Jiang Feng lived in the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, there were not the original fifteen guards, but seven of them were said to have returned to Liaoyang, at least to the outside.
There are fewer people around him, and when he waits for Jiang Feng to eat and dress, Tang Xuan took the initiative to take it, although it is stunning, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation of serving people, and even cooking and cooking, are all done well, according to Jiang Feng's words, such a girl can be called perfect, I really don't know how to cultivate it.
However, Tang Xuan is liberated from the cage every day, and he is lively and happy every day, often pestering Jiang Feng to ask endless questions, and the funny thing is that he always inadvertently asks Jiang Feng what he is doing here, such a careful eye naturally can't hide Jiang Feng, of course, he said that he came from the head office of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, checked the branches in various places, and saw how the business and trading were.
But no one will believe this sentence, Tang Xuan still keeps asking, no matter what, it is always quite a pleasing thing for such a cute and beautiful woman to pester you to ask questions, Jiang Feng is not bored, there are questions to answer, and at the same time, he also opened his mouth to ask Tang Xuan's family background or something.
Tang Xuan always says that she is a Yangzhou person, she was sold into the troupe by her parents since she was a child, and she has always grown up in the troupe.
After entering the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Jiang Feng arranged Tang Xuan to live in the adjacent courtyard, whether the Sanjiang Commercial Bank knew Jiang Feng's true identity or not, but the identity of the head office owner was placed there, and he had to be careful to serve, and when he saw Tang Xuan, the girl, he thought it was the concubine of the owner.
didn't dare to speculate too much, but sent two mothers-in-law to serve carefully.
Jiang Feng's side also seems to be a lot cleaner, no one bothers there, Sanjiang Commercial Bank is not a big business like Liaoyang or Jingshi in Jining, and the traders in Jining and Sili and Eight Townships are all connected, which is also Jiang Feng's business in Shandong for many years, and various forces are intertwined.
There must be a channel for interconnection in all localities, and merchants must travel everywhere to buy and sell goods, and it is also fair and upright to lead them down the road of the Yamen.
Recently, it may have just passed the New Year's Pass, and the shops around the country need to be purchased, and there are more people in and out of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and we all know that the shopkeepers and stewards of the small shops in the Shandong branch of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank are gathering in the inner hall to talk about business matters.
In fact, in the inner courtyard, there is indeed a hall where the shopkeeper and the stewards are chatting and drinking tea, but when talking with the Jining branch shopkeeper, they all go to a small room in the back hall to meet and talk alone. In fact, Sima Zheng's identity in Daming is mainly the steward and associate of the firm.
In the small room, that is, the space for three people, the shopkeeper of the Sanjiang firm sat in the middle, and the steward or the man who came in sat opposite.
However, today's situation is more special, although the house is small, but it is still nondescript to place a screen, the room has become a lot more cramped, but no one will care about such a trivial matter, even if it is standing and saying that it is the same, this person is a guy who sells goods in Zoucheng, his face is full of wind and frost, and he looks like the most ordinary merchant, and after coming in, he bows very respectfully to the shopkeeper, quite humble.
"The brothers have already caught up with those people in Dongchang Mansion quickly, and they have already asked to understand, they are just buying for Lin Yutang, Lin Yutang's shop is located in Rongyang, opened in the name of his wife and brother, and now the thirty counties in Lunan are basically salt there."
The shopkeeper who sat at the top nodded, picked up the hard pen in his hand and wrote a few strokes on the account book of the coffee table, looked up and said:
"You go and call the steward of Tengzhou in, and when you leave, go to the counter to withdraw your expenses for this year, an extra three hundred taels, which is considered a reward this time."
Hearing this, the guy quickly stood up and thanked him and said:
"Thank you to the shopkeeper, your subordinates must be loyal."
The fellow went out and closed the door, when a voice came from behind the screen and said:
"If Lin Yutang falls, what will happen to the salt industry in the seven northern provinces?"
It was Jiang Feng's voice, Sanjiang Commercial Bank has two big semicolons in Shandong, one is mainly in Jining, which is mainly the monitoring of the salt industry, and the other is in Linjia Island, Laizhou, the shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank is also quite clear to the salt industry, and he replied there with a little groaning:
"In the past three or four years, Lianghuai and Tianjin have gradually touched the way we used to operate, and gradually developed a set of systems, if it weren't for the green forest road and the salt transport to suppress there, I'm afraid it would have fallen apart long ago, last year Lin Yutang originally belonged to Huazhou after the elements were assigned to Shanxi on the bright side, it is no longer possible to maintain this scene, there are more and more salt not in the salt society in various places, and the authority of the salt society is almost gone, if in the past, where would there be businessmen elsewhere roaring at Lin Yutang at the conference!"
The door was pushed open, and the steward of Tengzhou walked in, this steward looked quite strong on the outside, and as soon as he entered the room, he bowed down and said:
"The subordinates confirmed it again in the river, and except for the little guy who was scheduled to go to the complaint, there was no more life left!"
Jiang Feng didn't hear these words, he sat behind the screen and suddenly recalled many things back then, Lin Yutang to put it bluntly is a shopkeeper of his Huazhou business abroad, although a large amount of silver goes in and out every year, Lin Yutang himself can't make any big money, and even the embezzlement of design means is inevitable, after all, it is not his own lineage, but it is just a distant branch of the Lin family.
I vaguely remember that in modern times, I always saw things like bo, what layer of purchases and so on in the newspapers and TV, although I couldn't figure it out, but it was vaguely similar to Lin Yutang's method of selling Huazhou's salt industry to his own shop.
Jiang Feng, who was sitting there, stroked the scabbard and laughed silently:
"Do you think that a certain family's knife is not good?"
In the prison of Jining, several men wearing the uniforms of the servants walked silently with the jailers, and the prisoners in the cells on the side looked at these men with quite faces, obviously never appeared.
"Put this packet in the water."
A man took out a small paper bag and handed it to the jailer in front of him, who hesitated for a moment, looked at the other party's gloomy eyes, and still reached out to take it. Turning and walking deeper, the jailer stumbled back in a short time, with an expression of disbelief on his face:
"People...... The man is gone!! ”
