The banquet was over, and on the surface, Lin Zhao had lost a good table of wine and food, but there was no progress in any substantive surname.

However, Lin Zhao does not think so, no progress does not mean no gain.

"Childe, these people don't give face, it seems that they are determined to make black money!" Yu Xuan was slightly disappointed, he didn't expect the grain merchants in Qiantang County to be so arrogant, and the dignified county order issued a speech, without giving any face.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "It's not everyone, have you noticed it?" These grain merchants seem to be tied up in a group, and they are all looking forward to a certain person! ”

"Qinghe's Lu brothers!" The obvious things are clear to everyone.

"That's right!" Lin Zhao asked, "Bozhou, what are the results of your investigation over there?" ”

Su An replied: "Qinghe is the largest grain store in Zhejiang and Fujian, and its influence in the Qiantang grain market is very large. The other grain merchants were either complicit in it, or they were afraid of Qinghe's strength and were forced to participate in it. ”

Lin Zhao concluded: "Then two conclusions can be drawn: first, they are not monolithic and can be disintegrated; Second, as long as the Lu brothers are dealt with, the other grain merchants should bow their heads, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Any clues?"

Su An said: "Zhang Ziheng of Guangji Grain Bank has always been benevolent, and he may be afraid of Qinghe's prestige and forced to participate in it, which can be fought for." There are also some small grain merchants who can also divide and disintegrate and use them for my use. ”

"How much do you know about the Lu brothers?" Lin Zhao groaned: "I always feel that the Lu brothers are very arrogant, and that confidence is not something that a simple businessman will have. ”

"The Lu brothers are from Fujian, and there seems to be nothing surprising about their family background, but there are rumors in Hangzhou that the Lu brothers are very tough in the background."

"That's right, no wonder they are arrogant, it turns out that there is someone behind them, but I don't know who is behind the two brothers?" Lin Zhao snorted coldly, such a result was expected.

However, Lin Zhao doesn't care very much, how about having a backstage? After killing a county king, are you still afraid of others? If you make money with your conscience and do things that hurt nature on the ground in Hangzhou, you have to get along with me, then you have to blame me for being unkind!

"Bo Zhou, you find a way to find out as soon as possible and see where the Lu brothers' backstage is?" Lin Zhao instructed: "Also, the situation and hobbies of those oppressed grain merchants, I want detailed information!" ”

Although this matter is more tricky, Lin Zhao believes that Su An has the ability to do it. Some resources are not your own, but as long as you are around, you should use them as low as possible.

Since someone wants to play, they can only accompany them to the end!

However, Lin Zhao had an interesting and bad premonition in his heart, why did Lu Ji emphasize it and push the Meng family to the forefront? Could it be that this guy has some kind of conspiracy? Lin Zhao couldn't help but be a little worried about Meng Ruoying.

On the way back ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~, Lu Shan said, "Big brother, what do you mean by Lin Zhao's attitude?" ”

Lu Ji, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and said, "What do you mean, it's just a temptation to let us come today, but it's a pity that he didn't get the answer he expected!" ”

Lu Shan said: "But on the surface, this Lin County Commander has always been kind and pleasant, and he has no dissatisfaction!" At a young age, it is not easy to control your emotions so well! ”

"Hey, if he doesn't even have this ability, can he become the commander of Qiantang County?" Seeing it today, Lu Ji already felt that this Lin County Commander was not simple.

"The eldest brother rejected the proposal in person, will he hold a grudge?" Offending the magistrate is not a good thing after all, Lu Shan is somewhat worried.

"Perhaps, but what? Are we going to follow his will? Lu Ji said: "He doesn't want to buy grain, he is testing us, hoping that the grain market will recover!" If we don't refuse today, it will be difficult to do it later, and if we offend the Lin County Order, we have to do it as a last resort, even if I don't want to, but there is nothing I can do! ”

"If you offend, you will be offended, carefully speaking, Da Lang and Lin County Ling are also all the way, he won't be so ruthless, right?"

Lu Ji shook his head and said: "Da Lang is different from him, not to mention that this is the idea of Erlang and San Lang, Da Lang may not know much about it, and it is not possible to expect Lin Zhao to give face." However, with Da Lang here, everything can be taken care of for us, so there is no need to be afraid of him Lin Zhao.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, even if there is really any problem, Wang Gongzi will never sit idly by, he definitely does not want to see Lin Zhao and Da Lang conflict. ”

"Unless Lin Zhao finds his own death, he will not destroy his future, so this time he will lose his dumbness!" Lu Shan was self-righteous and smiled proudly, with a villainous expression that was very obscene.

Lu Ji said: "Actually, no one wants to clash with him unless it is necessary, but some things are inevitable!" That's it...... There's no turning back......" With a soft sigh, Twilight peeked through the crack in the window, motionless, unaware of what she was thinking.

"That girl from the Meng family is too uninteresting!" Lu Shan complained: "If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have come to this point!" ”

Lu Ji said: "Meng Ruoying is naturally nothing, the Lin County Order behind her needs to pay attention, I don't know that the behavior of the Meng family is not what Lin Zhao meant!" ”

"That's right!" Lu Shan said: "San Lang attaches great importance to this business, and it is urgent, if it is not as soon as possible, I am afraid that I will lose my temper again." So...... Big brother, I'm afraid that the affairs of the Meng family will have to be done quickly! ”

"Don't worry, the Meng family won't be able to see it for a few days!" Luji seems to have a mature mind.

Thinking of the previous words, Lu Shan knew that the eldest brother must have some perfect plan.

When he returned to Qinghetang, someone came over and whispered a few words, and Lu Ji sent his brother to leave.

Lu Shan knew that there must be something secret, and even if he left, he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

I was never allowed to participate in confidential matters, and a feeling of not being taken seriously suddenly permeated my heart, but because of the power of my eldest brother, I couldn't say anything!

The backyard of Qinghetang, Lu Ji's study, is a very secret and rigorous place, and ordinary people can't go in and out casually.

"Are you the only one coming back?" Lu Ji entered the door and saw that there was only one person in the study, and he was a little surprised.

"Don't be surprised by Lord Lu, the three of us brothers are safe and sound, and my brother is tired, so I am the only one who comes over to rest at home!"

What kind of character Lu Ji is, experienced and experienced, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, I understand it below, but Your Excellency has helped Lu a lot, how can you take revenge, you think too much!" ”

The idea was seen through, and the person who came didn't feel strange, and said: "My brother is making a living by licking blood on the knife, thank you for your understanding, I won't keep much in the future, and the rest of the money ......"

"Is everything done?" Lu Ji asked in a deep voice first.

"It's done, our brother will make a move, and naturally there will be no mistakes!" The person who came was very confident, and as for some details, I don't know if they deliberately ignored them or didn't notice them at the time.

"Didn't show any feet?" Lu Ji's request is to work neatly and neatly, without leaving any handles.

The person who came swore and said: "The old grandson of the Meng family may think of us, but unfortunately none of them can survive, not to mention that they don't have any evidence, this matter is seamless!" ”

"It's best to be so natural!" Lu Ji nodded with satisfaction, at least for now, things are under control and developing in the expected direction.

"That money ......"

Lu Ji nodded and said: "You should get it, naturally there will be no less, but there is one point, you must hide your tracks, and it is best to leave Liangzhejiang Road temporarily." ”

"We understand this truth, Lord Lu can rest assured!"

Lu Ji said: "According to the rules, I will pay you another 30% today, and after the news is confirmed, the rest will be served!" ”

"Good!" After the person got the money, he left cautiously.

Lu Ji looked at the long-lost blue sky outside the window, muttered for a long time, and sighed lightly: "There is no room for turnaround, then ask for the surname and do not stop, the enmity is doomed, it must be your life and death!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meng Ruoying waited at the Hangzhou dock for three days, but never waited for the cargo ship to arrive. On the contrary, when I was worried, I waited for a very terrible news.

There is a big ship sinking in the Jiangnan River in Suzhou!

This news was like a boulder falling into the water, and it was like a stormy wave in Meng Ruoying's heart.

Even if the flood water has not yet receded, it is not possible to salvage and explore and confirm the ship's information. But Meng Ruoying had a hunch in her heart, this sunken ship was likely to be owned by herself, Master Sun was personally at the helm, and the ship was silent? Meng Ruoying couldn't believe it, and before she got the exact news, she had a trace of luck in her heart.

As a result, the Meng family's grain sales opportunities in Hangzhou have been greatly affected. Because this one is the only one that sells as usual, the inventory is depleted very quickly. In less than two days, the grain stock in the Meng family's shop was sold out, and only 5,000 stone in the granary in the south of the city remained.

Coincidentally, there was a rush for grain in Qiantang County, and there was an endless stream of queues every day. At the same time, there is also news that the Meng family is transporting a large ship of goods, which will arrive in Hangzhou soon, which is even more exciting.

The Meng family gained a good reputation for a while, but it was also pushed to the forefront, and only Meng Ruoying knew the inner dilemma, and the Meng family was completely in a very embarrassing situation.

However, the grain in the warehouse is getting less and less, and the cargo ship carrying the grain has not yet arrived, so it is difficult to continue. At this time, Meng Ruoying finally really felt the trouble!

Under internal and external troubles, although Meng Ruoying was very reluctant to cause trouble to Lin Zhao, she now had to come for help. In the critical situation, she didn't have many ideas, and she needed his advice.

Just when Meng Ruoying was in Qiantang County, an old man in his fifties and sixties, dressed in rags, was very weak and tired, but he still held his steps and came towards Qiantang County.

When he saw a few big characters at the city gate, the old man was excited, and his wrinkled face suddenly burst into tears!
