Chapter 666: Flipping the Table
On the second floor of another restaurant, there are more than a dozen wealthy businessmen.
These people are all big salt merchants in Yangzhou, and they had a meeting together two months ago to study how to deal with Lin Ruhai.
At that time, they didn't take Lin Ruhai's family seriously, so they just received them according to the previous means.
Who knew that two months had passed, and Lin Ruhai had shown terrible officialdom methods, constantly persecuting this group of salt merchants, forcing them not to pay the full salt tax, and they would become tax resistance and rebels.
Wei Chunhua actually still despises Lin Ruhai and regards him as Hai Rui, who has super wrist ability but no one behind him, so he wants to send his own clansman to pull Lin Zhao into the water.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao slapped Wei Yang in prison with a backhand.
That's why we have today.
At this time, all the salt merchants showed their momentum, after all, there were thousands of tenants under them, life and death were in their thoughts, and the gold and silver that could be used in their hands amounted to millions of dollars.
Wei Chunhua's gaze swept over a few people: "Brothers, Lin Zhao is so ruthless, how should we deal with it next?"
The middle-aged fat man named Tong Zhaohe said: "Master Wei, I said two months ago that the Lin family is insidious, get rid of it as soon as possible. But I didn't expect him to be so ruthless and shameless, and asked me to say, let's hurry up and do it, then he will kill him! In fact, we have killed fewer officials? Not to mention that his son who visited the flower is just a small history, and he killed all of his Lin family, so what? There are not many of them, and there are not many of them, and there are many of them. ”
Another person chuckled and said, "What Lao Tong said is very true, unless he is protected by a large army when he travels, any of our bandits who are raised by the police station can kill that dog official and little official." ”
Wei Chunhua nodded slightly and said, "What you brothers said is right, I underestimated him before, and I will deal with it myself at this time!"
Everyone nodded their heads.
After all, there are so many salt merchants in Yangzhou, and only the Wei family is the leader.
There are many salt workers in his family, especially those salt lords, all of whom are outlaws, and once they are ferocious, they are enough to quell the Cao Gang and exterminate the Salt Gang.
Therefore, the Wei family can occupy 30% of Yangzhou's salt industry.
What a rich country!
After everyone dispersed, Wei Chunhua walked into a carriage, and a horseman in a strong suit said to Wei Chunhua: "Master, where are we going?"
"Go to that house by Slender West Lake!"
The groom nodded, and immediately waved his whip, who knew that the carriage was only more than ten feet ahead, and several figures stopped in front, but the first person was a guy that Lin Zhao had been collecting for half a year, named Lin Dafei, and he could only hear him screaming towards the stopped carriage: "Wei Chunhua, get off!"
The groom was slightly stunned, but he was about to attack.
He was originally a man who fought in the rivers and lakes, and when the long whip shook, he was about to pull out a killing move, but he knew that with a "whoosh" sound, a sharp arrow was directly nailed to his throat.
Then the groom stiffened and fell under the cart.
"Ants, dare to talk to us!"
A family member put down his bow and arrow and said with a disdainful expression.
Wei Chunhua in the carriage sighed, secretly being too careless by himself.
is so light and simple, no wonder someone paid attention and took advantage of this to intercept him.
He glanced at Lin Dafei and immediately recognized the identity of the other party.
In fact, he remembered the appearance of Lin Ruhai's family and everyone around him.
Lin Dafei said with a smile: "Master Wei, Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen is invited!"
Wei Chunhua smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that we, a grass people, would be able to send people to invite us to work in the history of Lin Dian!"
In fact, the classic history is a petty official who is not in the stream, with Wei Chunhua's net worth status, where would he put such a sesame big official in his eyes?
So at this moment, he deliberately bit the word "classic history" very hard.
But even so, he had to obediently get out of the carriage, and at the same time knew in his heart that he had underestimated that little Lin Dian Shi.
It's not that Wei Chunhua was arrogant and defenseless, and directly selected a group of strong people among his tenants, but Wei Chunhua never thought that Lin Zhao would dare to be so crazy and directly slaughter hundreds of people.
It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no official has ever dared to do this!
The knots dared to do this because they had soldiers in their hands!
Those gentlemen dared to call for their servants to beat people to death, but they only dared to kill one or two people.
Even so, you have to find a way to get through the officialdom and come up with a large sum of money in order to get by.
Besides, in Wei Chunhua's expectation, Lin Zhao will definitely die this time, just like Linzhou and Suzhou, they are also tenants who are directly transferred, and they will casually launch a few scapegoats out afterwards, isn't it calm?
Several officials stepped forward and pulled Wei Chunhua off the carriage, and then tied him up, but in the process, Wei Chunhua seemed very calm, and even had a little smile on his face.
Of course, he wouldn't know that at this moment, there was a patrol team that had just seen human blood and was preparing to completely attack the Wei family, and Lin Zhao had already made up his mind to completely clean up the Wei family in Yangzhou.
Wei Chunhua has dominated Yangang in Yangzhou for decades, going up to the imperial court, hooking local officials, and training a lot of scribes to show his family, and the days of Weifu in Yangzhou for his own use are too long, so long that he has forgotten the sentence "the county order of the broken family, the prefect of the destroyed door".
From the legal point of view, if the Yamen of the Imperial Salt Patrol finds that there are signs of tax evasion and evasion in the merchants under its rule, they can communicate with the local government to deal with the matter, but in case of emergency, they can cut it first and then play it.
Now that the Yamen of the Imperial History of Salt Patrol has been besieged for a long time, the local government has not shown up at all - they naturally will not show up casually, which gives Lin Zhao a chance to turn the clouds and rain.
This opportunity is bound to be left to him by the enemy.
Since the local government is deliberately slow to react, then don't blame Lin Zhao for being ruthless!
Yangzhou salt merchants, the Wei clan is the most powerful, his family not only has a large number of clansmen, but also has a lot of good men in the rivers and lakes, on the surface is a wealthy businessman, but the power behind the scenes is strong, knowing its details, that is, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the two rivers are unwilling to provoke the Wei family.
However, this time, Lin Zhao sent someone to call him murderously, which directly caught the Wei family off guard.
Those thugs and heroes were shot by sharp arrows before they could make a move, and some clan elders relied on the old to sell the old to pull the relationship, but only half of the words were spoken, and they were shot through the throat by a sharp arrow.
It can be said that the Wei family didn't have time to resist at all, so they were attacked by the salt Ding of the Yanshi Yamen, the family property was confiscated, the clansmen were captured, and those thugs were killed.
The tens of millions of family properties accumulated by the Wei family were deprived of a fine light by the Yamen of the Imperial History of the Salt Patrol.
When Wei Chunhua saw this scene, his heart ached even more, and he vomited blood and fainted in the lobby of the Imperial History Yamen.
But now that he has no property, no wings, and has become an old man in his last years, who will take care of him and throw him directly into prison.
Zhao Quan and Zhong Yanding were both excited and confused.
He never expected that his martial arts skills would be so high!
No matter how fierce the dead soldiers raised by the Wei family are, they are not his opponents, those high-ranking guys are certainly good at martial arts, but when they use it, in the eyes of Zhao Quan and Zhong Yanding, it is as if they are doing slow motion, and they poke it with a shot, and they will die with a whimper.
"The Wei family is a dead soldier, very brave, the result is not our enemy with a shot, it seems that those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen have also been deceived by a group of rivers and lakes, I thought they were so shrewd!"
With this mentality, the more property is confiscated, the more contemptuous the salt dates the better the mentality, and it is very important to stab all these guys to death.
Their martial arts are so strong and their knowledge is so far-reaching, but they are confused by the methods of this group of wealthy businessmen, thinking that they are all scheming, long-sleeved and good at dancing, shrewd and strong.
I knew this was the case, why was I so afraid of them in the first place?
Thinking of this, the salters' pushing and shoving movements became even more ruthless: "Be honest!"
On a gazebo in a courtyard in the distance, listening to the news from the subordinates, a middle-aged man in an official uniform stroked his beard and was silent.
The other person next to him was also wearing an official robe, gently raised the white chess in his hand and put it on the chessboard, and said: "Mu Zhifu, the Wei family is completely finished, what are we going to do next?"
That Mu Governor is Mu Tianyan, the Governor of Yangzhou, he stroked his beard at this time, calmed down, raised the sunspot and took a step, drank a cup of hot tea, and said with a slight smile: "It's just that we underestimated Lin Ruhai's ruthlessness, seized the opportunity, and acted decisively, and didn't even give me the opportunity to make a move." They are Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen, caught the salt merchants' illegal anti-tax activities, executed, and reported afterwards, which is completely in line with the procedures, even if the official goes, there is nothing he can do!"
"Still. Mu Tianyan paused, and sneered: "But the old man doesn't believe that he dares to slaughter Yangzhou, if nothing else, he is going to kill people, but it's a pity that those salt merchants are used to being comfortable, and they can't withstand his offensive at all." I'll wait and see what happens, the salt merchant changes every ten years, and now he changes a batch, and it's just to pick peaches for future generations. ”
The official was slightly stunned, then nodded slowly: "What Mu Zhifu said is very true, but the lower official is stupid! It's just that the lower official is worried that the Wei family is angry and will bite at will." ”
Mu Tianyan looked in the direction of the Wei family, and said with a bit of uncertainty in his eyes: "It was originally the fault of the Wei family to raise the dead and besiege the yamen! It is normal to bite at will, you can rest assured, I have been communicating with Lin Ruhai for a long time, this person is also born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and will not cross the line! His son Lin Zhao is even more a shrewd person. ”
Yangzhou officialdom watched coldly, but those salt merchants were frightened.
What Tong Zhaohe, Zhao Qixiang, or what surnamed Chen surnamed Wang, at this moment, there is no Zhizhu in his hands, and his eyes are empty of all arrogance.
Everyone was in their own homes, listening to the terrifying report, and one by one they collapsed weakly in their chairs, with a look of fear in their eyes.
Although they all have fox-like hearts, they are helpless in the face of the yamen who do not play cards according to the routine and directly lift the table and take a knife.
"I only hope to destroy the Wei family, this Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhao's father and son, let's stop it!"
I don't know how many people are praying in their hearts.
