Chapter 175: Going to the Banquet
"Amin, my eldest brother won't accompany you to dinner tonight, someone invited me to a banquet, and I won't be back until late, you don't have to wait for me to come back, you go to bed early." Bar"
Yang Lin rubbed the little girl Zhao Min's head, explained affectionately, and saw the little girl with her little head up, with a reluctant face, and her little mouth pouting, he knew that she was very dissatisfied and wanted to go with her.
"Amin, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to take you there, but this banquet is special and inconvenient to take you. Moreover, most of the reason why I went was to solve some things, out of business, not simply to attend a banquet, otherwise it would be okay to take you. ”
Zhao Min's little head lowered, and he thought about it like an adult, and after a minute, the unhappiness on his face gradually disappeared, and he said coquettishly: "That~ big brother, it's okay if I don't go, but you have to promise me that after this busy time, you have to take me out to play, look at Sister Li, I miss her a little." ”
Yang Lin smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, I promise you, after this busy time, after the transition of the work in hand, I will take you to Xiangshan County, visit your sister Youlan, walk around, by the way, look at the sea, see the sea, how about it?" Are you still satisfied with this arrangement? ”
"A word is a certainty, big brother, you have to remember today's promise, and you are not allowed to play tricks in the future~!"
"Yes, a word is a decision, and never a word is broken."
Under Zhao Min's reluctant gaze and Yang Xiao's worried gaze, Yang Lin strode away, slowly moved away from Yaxing, and disappeared into the night.
In the governor's yamen, in the hall, all the tables, chairs and benches were ready, just waiting for Yang Lin's arrival.
However, although it is a banquet, there are only three small wine tables, which are more like a close person's gathering and gathering.
At this moment, there were only the governor and Li Lianying at the banquet, one of them sitting in the first place, and Li Lianying was on the right side, looking at her brother-in-law.
"Lian Ying, before Yang Lin comes, there are some things that I still have to talk to you about, take the lead in communicating, as a bargaining chip for this reconciliation, the conditions of exchange, after saving for a while, you will be surprised."
"Brother-in-law, you say it directly, I know that everything you do is for my good, no matter what, as long as you can get through this difficulty, I am willing and agree."
"Well, with your words, it doesn't disappoint me too much, and it's worth my time today."
"Next, no matter what I say, if you have any doubts or puzzles, don't interject, listen to me quietly, and you will understand my intentions."
"Brother-in-law, you say, I just listen."
Looking at Li Lianying, who was seated down, for his performance tonight, at least so far, the governor was still very satisfied, nodded slightly, and slowly spoke.
"Lian Ying, as a condition for reconciliation, not only do you apologize to him today, but also swear that you will never pester Yang Lin again in the future, and no longer fantasize about the position of president of a foreign bank. Not only that, but you also have to resign from the customs department to show your sincerity and apologize. ”
Li Lianying's face suddenly became ugly, without the official position of the Customs Department, how will he mix in the future? How to show off in front of some boys? How can you wear official uniforms and swagger through the streets?
I was reluctant to lose my official position, so I begged one or two to see if there was room for maneuver, but before the words in my stomach could be spoken, I was immediately glared back by the governor, and the voice of explanation sounded.
"Lian Ying, there is no way to let you resign from the official position of the Customs Department, after all, it is impossible to touch the skin up and down, a sorry can resolve this grudge, you need to pay the price and be punished, and resigning from the official position is your sincerity and the punishment you deserve."
Seeing that his brother-in-law was still reluctant and aggrieved and entangled, the governor sighed and said helplessly: "To tell you the truth, just resigning and apologizing can't soothe the other party's anger at all, after all, this time, you not only want to put people to death, but also trouble his family again and again." ”
"I might as well reveal a little to you, I am going to give him some of the interests of the Guangzhou Mansion, so that he can forgive you, take over this matter, and suppress the public opinion turmoil in the Guangzhou Mansion to avoid the limelight."
seems to be usually presumptuous, relying on the support of her sister, Li Lianying interrupted the governor's words, either unconvinced, or did not realize the seriousness of the matter, thinking that the two sides have not yet reached the point of tension, and said sourly: "Brother-in-law, you are also the governor of Guangdong, the feudal official of the imperial court, as long as there is an order, that Yang Lin must not bow his head, as you say." ”
At this moment, the governor really had a feeling of teammate cooperation like a pig, and he hated that iron could not become steel, but thinking of Li Lianying's sister's haggard face, he still said calmly: "That Yang Lin belongs to the Guangdong Customs Department and is under the supervision of the superintendent, I can't help him at all, how can I order him?" ”
"What's more, that kid has an unusual relationship with He Shen's son Feng Shen Yinde, and with his relationship with He Shen's world, it is impossible for the superintendent to stand aside and let me rectify Yang Lin. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Feng Shen Yinde. ”
"Moreover, the most important thing now is to calm down this turmoil and tide over the difficulties, if the IOU you said really appears in Guangzhou Mansion, Yang Lin will bite it tightly, not only will you be imprisoned, but I don't want to have a good life."
Hearing her brother-in-law's remarks, Li Lianying's last hope was shattered, and she was not ready to struggle for her official position in the Customs Department, so she was ready to resign as her brother-in-law said and apologize to Yang Lin.
However, hearing the governor's last sentence, Li Lianying was afraid for no reason, and said with confusion and concern: "Brother-in-law, the kidnapping of Yang Lin was done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with you, how can it affect you?" ”
In fact, Li Lianying's heart is not concerned about the safety of the governor, but knows that once her powerful brother-in-law suffers, she will not want to live happily in Guangzhou Mansion in the future, let alone escape from prison.
Just as the governor was about to explain why he was involved, a servant quickly walked in and reported loudly: "My lord, Yang Lin, the head of the Yaxing Bank, has arrived, and he is waiting outside the door. ”
Standing up suddenly, ignoring anything else, he said again and again: "Dog minion, how are you bad?" How can you keep guests waiting outside the door? Let people in! ”
The official was about to retreat, but the governor felt that it was better to go out to greet him in person, which would better reflect the sincerity of today's conversation and facilitate the negotiation at the wine table tonight, so he immediately left the table and walked out, and at the same time did not forget to call Li Lianying.
"Lianying, don't stand stupidly, go out with me to greet us, show our sincerity, don't let people misunderstand, think that we are in a lofty posture, to talk about reconciliation."
Although I was very reluctant in my heart, I refused in every way, but when I saw my brother-in-law's appearance at this time, I knew that it was not asking for my own thoughts, but ordering, and the thought of not wanting to go flashed by, and immediately replied: "Okay, brother-in-law, I will go too, give him enough face, okay." ”
Li Lianying quickly left the table, walked quickly to the governor, walked out of the hall together, and disappeared into the night.
At the entrance of the governor's ya, under the faint light, Yang Lin stopped and stood, looked up at the word governor, and couldn't help sighing, in the late Qianlong period, at the beginning of Jiaqing, the Qing court's officials were really corrupt to the extreme.
However, Yang Lin just sighed, without too much emotion, because in his heart, there was no need for the Qing Dynasty to exist, and his crossing was to put an end to this ignorant, ignorant, and arrogant ruling group.
At the same time, Yang Lin was still thinking in his heart, what will this governor do tonight? How can you reconcile the contradictions between yourself and Li Lianying?
In fact, when Yang Lin heard that the governor invited him to a banquet, he guessed his intentions and wanted to resolve his hatred with Li Lianying.
When he got to this, Yang Lin couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, muttering to himself, he really wanted to come to something, God help me, and I was worried about finding some excuse to let go of Li Lianying's villain so that he could carry out his plan.
Yang Lin stood quietly at the entrance of the yamen, and when he was happy in his heart, a rush of footsteps sounded, and a voice sounded.
"Haha, nephew Yang Xian, I'm really sorry, I'm slacking."
