Chapter 159: Calm Things Down
The merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were present were boiling in an instant. In these years, the status of business is low, and the interaction with officialdom is extremely limited, but now the chief bachelor of Wenhua Palace, the world's first talent, and the head of the household department, Lord Xu Wei, has come in person, but it is for these business masters to grow face.
President Yu hurriedly got up from the ground, and Tao Dongcheng also walked to the door to greet him with Tao Wanying's support.
This Xu Wenchang, it's really the right time to come, Lin Wanrong looked at the eldest lady and smiled.
Xiao Yuruo listened to Lord Xu Wei's arrival, first he was surprised in his heart, but then he became worried, even if Lord Xu Wei and Lord Xu came, even if he admired Lin San's talent, but he was also an official of the imperial court, could he be partial to Lin San?
Xu Wei was dressed in a bright red official uniform, with a slight smile on his face, and there was some majesty hidden in his thin face, and he walked in slowly, followed by the Hangzhou Mansion Yin who had just met and dozens of officials from Zhejiang.
"See Lord Shangshu, see all of you." President Yu hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Student Tao Dongcheng, I've seen Lord Xu, I've seen all of you." Tao Dongcheng also saluted and said.
Everyone knows that this Xu Wei was the first adviser of the emperor's palace in the past, and now he is the national pillar of the Dahua Dynasty, in charge of money and food, and is the most trusted person of the Dahua Emperor. As long as he gets his favor, Feihuang Tengda will definitely be just around the corner.
"Presidents, colleagues, please excuse me." Xu Wei nodded and smiled, helping everyone up.
Everyone got up, Xu Wei saw the swollen pig-headed faces of Yu Tao and the others, and was taken aback and said, "Two presidents, what's wrong?" β
President Yu knelt on the ground with a thud and howled: "Lord Xu, you have to be the master for me, for my chambers of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." β
Tao Dongcheng gritted his teeth, and knelt down with President Yu and said, "Please make decisions for the students." β
Xu Weiqi said: "What's going on, two, please get up and speak." The two of you are in charge of the chamber of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and you are the leader of the merchants, but what's wrong? β
Yu Fatzi snorted and said with tears: "My lord, it's all the Xiao family's Ding Lin San-" His fat and thick fingers pointed at Lin Wanrong and said: "Not only insulted me and the Chamber of Commerce of the two places, but also beat me and Tao Gongzi and many of my chamber of commerce in public, it is really an insult to the world's merchants, and please ask the adults to be the masters of the two of us." β
Lin Wanrong scolded secretly in her heart when she heard this, this Yu Fat Chang is really shameless. Lao Tzu obviously just beat the two of you, but when you said it, it became a bunch of people, shameless, better than me.
Xu Wei sighed, glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said to Tao and the others: "What does President Yu mean is that this little brother beat you and Tao Gongzi and many people in your chamber of commerce?" β
President Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Exactly, please also ask your lord to make decisions for us." β
Xu Wei said: "Don't be in a hurry, the old man will ask things clearly, and he will definitely be fair and straightforward." What President Yu means is that this Ding Linsan beat President Yu, Tao Gongzi and so many others, that is, he beat you all, yes or no? β
"Yes, yes, yesβ" President Yu hurriedly shouted, "All the brothers in the Association present can testify. β
"A crowd beating up many people?" Xu Wei asked, walked two steps in front of Lin Wanrong, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, are these people telling the truth?" β
Lin Wanrong hadn't spoken yet, but the eldest lady had already spoken: "Lord Xu, today's incident is because of my Xiao family, and it has nothing to do with Lin San, and all the blame is borne by my Xiao family." β
Xu Wei looked at Xiao Yuruo and said, "You, is Miss Xiao?" β
The eldest lady saluted, "It's the little woman." β
Xu Wei looked at her and sighed: "Like, like, it's really like." β
The eldest lady glanced at Xu Wei in confusion, not knowing what Lord Xu meant.
Xu Wei sighed and said, "Miss Xiao, how has your mother-in-law, Miss Guo, been doing well all these years?" β
Xiao Yuruo was stunned for a moment, this Lord Xu called his mother Miss Guo, and he seemed to recognize his mother, but where did he talk about it?
Lin Wanrong knew a little, and when she saw that the eldest lady was in a daze, she gently touched her sleeve. The eldest lady was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Mother, everything is fine, Lord Xie cares." β
Xu Wei sighed and said: "Miss Xiao, don't be surprised, Lao Yu and Miss Guo also had some interactions in the past, and they admired Miss Guo's intelligence very much. In the past, I said goodbye to Miss Guo in Beijing, and it has been more than 20 years. After seeing the old man now, he didn't know each other, which made people feel nostalgic. β
When the eldest lady heard that Lord Xu actually had a relationship with her mother, she felt some comfort in her heart, and she did not ask Lord Xu to be favoritial, but begged him to be fair and selfless.
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Miss Xiao, although you are the queen of the deceased, but today's matter, since someone sued your Xiao family, the old man can't be partial, only to act impartially, Miss is not strange." β
Xiao Yuruo hurriedly said: "The little girl has nothing else to ask for, but she wants the adult to be fair and selfless, and her wish is fulfilled." β
President Yu and Tao Dongcheng were also taken aback when they first heard that the Xiao family was actually the deceased of Lord Xu, and they were relieved to see that Xu Wei didn't seem to be biased.
Xu Wei nodded, and said to Lin Wanrong again: "Brother Lin, are these two true or false?" Have you beaten up so many of them? β
"Gang fighting? No, I don't. Lin Wanrong said in a daze: "Lord Xu, how can I beat a group of people by myself?" Even if I had three heads and six arms, I wouldn't be able to do it. β
Xu Wei nodded, turned to look at Yu Fatzi and said, "President Yu, this Lin Sanyi crowd beats many of you, even if he has his hands, feet, and limbs together, it is difficult to do it, are you mistaken?" β
Beads of sweat rolled on the fat man's forehead, he was too greedy, what kind of group beating, he hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, it was this Lin San who beat me first, and then beat Tao Gongzi, everyone present can testify." β
Tao Dongcheng also continued: "President Yu's every sentence is true, and the student guarantees his life with his net worth. β
Xu Wei hummed and said: "Then it's not a group fight, it's a mutual fight, yes or no?" β
This time, Yu Fatzi learned to be obedient, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it was Lin San who took the lead, and before we could fight back, we were beaten by him." β
"That's it, Lin San, have you ever beaten up this President Yu?" Xu Wei turned to Lin Wanrong and said.
"It's not about beatings, it's just a brief discussion. Those who know me well know that I have always liked to 'convince people with virtue and be shameless and authentic.'
The shopkeeper Li immediately jumped out and said: "What nonsense, you beat President Yu and Tao Gongzi, but we saw it with our own eyes, and you still want to quibble?" β
Xu Wei nodded, but his voice raised a lot: "Lin San, are you guilty?" Why did you beat up the two presidents? β
Lin Wanrong hadn't spoken yet, but President Yu hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, we are just discussing business issues with the Xiao family, and if we don't say a word, then Lin San will beat people, and please ask your Excellency to investigate." β
"Oh," Xu Wei looked understanding: "President Yu, this is the boundary of Zhejiang, Lin San is a small family, powerless and powerless, how dare he beat you?" It's too arrogant to forgive. β
Over there, Liu Yue'e couldn't listen to it anymore, jumped up and said: "Lord Xu, don't listen to their nonsense, it was President Yu who bullied the market, and they bullied people too much, so Lin San fought back angrily." β
Liu Yue'e told a series of cannons how the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce coerced the Xiao family, how Tao Dongcheng aided and abused, and how the Jinling Chamber of Commerce subdued. She seems to be a rough tube, but she is actually a good person, involving how the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is domineering and coercive, it is a big book and a special book to explain it in detail, when it comes to Lin Wanrong beating people, but it is said that Lin San acted out of anger based on righteous indignation, otherwise with his small family, no matter how strong he is, how can he beat these two leading figures in court.
Xu Wei's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't see what his attitude was. Lin Wanrong is a smart person. In the few words asked by the old man Xu, there is a lot of knowledge and mystery.
After listening to Liu Yue's description, Xu Wei frowned, looked at Yu Fatzi and said, "President Yu, is there such a thing?" β
President Yu hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, my Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has no intention of dominating the market, but just discussed with the eldest lady about the business." β
"Discuss?" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "How did President Yu discuss?" It is to let the Xiao family hand over the management rights of this province to the shopkeeper Li, otherwise the Xiao family will not be allowed to operate in Hangzhou, is this the so-called discussion of President Yu? β
President Yu's lips twitched a few times, but he didn't dare to deny it.
Lin Wanrong hugged his fist at Xu Weiyi and said: "Lord Xu, you are the head of the household, you naturally know the truth of this business, and the business is the great plan of the people's livelihood in the world. In the long run, not only will the people of Hangzhou and Zhejiang not be able to enjoy the latest products, but even the atmosphere of free business will be completely suppressed. This business thing is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Under such suppression, how can the operation of Zhejiang Province improve? The Tao Gongzi of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but he doesn't think about the merchants in the association, and colludes with President Yu to squeeze out the Xiao family, who is this who gives him such a bold amount and can let him bully others? Widening trade and encouraging competition is the right way, but bullying and dominating the market is the foundation of our Dahua business, and we must not condone it. β
These words were sprinkled, but they raised this bullying market to the height of Dahua's operation, and everyone listened to it in a daze, as if they understood but did not understand.
Xu Wei's face was serious, he looked at Yu Fatzi and said, "President Yu, is this Lin San telling lies?" β
President Yu didn't dare to speak, Xu Wei glanced at Tao Dongcheng again and said, "What does Tao Gongzi think?" β
Tao Dongcheng didn't speak, but Tao Wanying defended her brother: "Lord Xu, this Lin Sanyi faction is talking nonsense, framing my brother, and asking the adult to call the shots-"
Xu Wei snorted heavily and said, "If you don't make a sound, then it's true that Lin San beat people, but it's also true that you bully and dominate the market?" β
Everyone didn't dare to speak, Xu Wei sighed: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is the foundation of my Dahua economy, the granary of the world's prosperity, today's annual meeting of Jiangsu and Zhejiang business, the emperor attaches great importance to it, and specially appoints the old man to meet with you, to understand what difficulties you still have in the business matters?" But I never thought that such a thing would happen, which really disappointed the old man. β
Xu Weiwei is famous, and his momentum is extraordinary, and everyone in the hall is silent and dare not speak.
Xu Wei snorted and said to Hangzhou Mansion Yin: "Lord Gu, according to my Dahua regulations, what crime should I be guilty of beating others?" β
Although Yu Fatzi and Tao Dongcheng are the presidents of the chambers of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are non-governmental organizations, and Lin Wanrong beat these two, but they are not even beating the court officials, at most they can be regarded as beating the gentry.
"According to my Dahua law, those who beat people in public will be punished with a cane at least and imprisoned at a heavy level. Judging from Lin San's beating of the two presidents, at least 200 canes are required. "Ancient people.
"How can we punish bullying and dominating the market and disrupting business?" Xu Wei said again.
"According to the laws of Dahua, those who bully and dominate the market will be fined and confiscated official property, and at worst they will be confiscated into the army." Hangzhou Mansion Yin Dao.
Yu Fatzi's face was pale, and Tao Dongcheng gritted his teeth and didn't speak, this crime of disrupting business is not small. The two of them are used to running rampant in Jinling and Hangzhou, how can anyone ever feel sorry for them? At the moment, Xu Wei was ruthless, striking hard, and caught the two of them off guard.
The eldest lady didn't speak for a long time, but after listening to Xu Wei's words, she was happy in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at Lin San, but saw that he was smiling, and it seemed that she had already made up her mind.
Xu Wei sighed and said: "Lin Sanshang is okay to say, President Yu and Tao Gongzi are the pillars of my Dahua, but the theory of bullying and dominating the market has not yet constituted a fact, Lord Gu, in your opinion, how should this matter be good?" β
Hangzhou Mansion Yin Dao: "My lord, according to his humble opinion, the two presidents of Yu Tao should not be the first, and Lin San beat the people behind, but they are all at fault, it is better to let the three of them know right from wrong, reflect on it, and take it as a warning." β
This Hangzhou Mansion Yin obviously understood Xu Wei's meaning, and this method is the most peaceful. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, it is inevitable that Lin San will hit the board, but the guilt of the two presidents is not small.
Xu Wei smiled slightly and said, "In this way, what do the two presidents think?" β
Yu Fat didn't dare to speak, Tao Dongcheng gritted his teeth and said: "The adults are so gracious, the students dare not say much." It's just that Lin San beat up the students and President Yu today, although the two of us can not care, but where did he put my chamber of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Today, the adults don't care about our mistakes, and the students are very grateful, but the Xiao family's crime of contempt for the chambers of commerce of the two places, and the students, as the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, cannot sit idly by. Today, in the presence of adults, I will have a fair competition with the Xiao family. β
"Oh?" Xu Weida said with great interest: "Compared to what? β
"Wendou Martial Attack!" Tao Dongcheng gritted his teeth and said.
