The matter of Guazhou Port in Zhenjiang Prefecture spread to all directions like a wind, and it was transmitted to Yangzhou for the first time.

The ancient city of Yangzhou, a deep house somewhere in the west of the city, in a lobby.

The decoration in the lobby is extravagant, and the splendid gold and carved beams are just waiting for leisure.

Gold depicts silver, water mill fine carving.

All show their kung fu in the corners and inconspicuous places.

Perhaps it is precisely in this way that the guests in the hall will inadvertently find amazing places.

And such a luxury, without dozens or even hundreds of years of accumulation and drilling, I am afraid that this will not be possible.

It's just that everyone in the hall doesn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to this, or they have become accustomed to it.

"If you want me to say, this kid has a way and knows some martial arts, but everyone shouldn't be frightened by him, don't they all say that there are a few emperors around him to worship? They have no intentions, what is the difficulty of killing a rude man? Now it is rumored that the son of the Lin family is like a fairy and a monster, it is really a fuss, we are still crazy at his age, what can we do?

If you want me to say, then Lin Ruhai is from Tanhualang, this mind must be transparent, we do it according to the usual way, as long as we are one and the same, solid as gold, even if the Lin family boy and those few worshippers are strong in martial arts, what can they do?"

A middle-aged fat man dressed in a foreign suit, with a big belly, gold and silver, and a jade body, said with disdain on his face.

He sat in second place in a chair on the left side of the lobby, showing that he was not inferior in this group.

"Brother Zhaohe, you can't say that, we have a clear understanding of the situation at Guazhou Wharf, and we haven't missed a single detail, and Guo Tianhong, the president of the Zhenjiang Chamber of Commerce, is Brother Qixiang's sworn brother, and he won't hide anything from us. Brother Qixiang, am I right?" said a thin middle-aged man.

He began to say to the big middle-aged fat man, but in the end, he turned to the person sitting at the end of the seat opposite.

He sat in the third place on the right, and Brother Qixiang was sitting opposite him.

Obviously, neither he nor Brother Qixiang have a high status in the circle.

Brother Qixiang is called Zhao Qixiang, and he is the sworn brother of Guo Tianhong, president of the Zhenjiang Chamber of Commerce.

He held a folding fan in his hand, and did not unfold it, but gently patted it in the palm of his hand, and sighed: "I won't hide it from you, just last night, my righteous brother had already passed on the book and explained the matter in detail. The son of the Lin family does have great magical powers, and his strength is not trivial, and it is not an illusion to kill people with one thought. ”

"I thought so too. The thin middle-aged man just now said: "President Guo is not only the president of the Zhenjiang Chamber of Commerce, but also the leader of the Cao Gang, he has a lot of experience and knowledge in the rivers and lakes, and he can't deceive him by idle tricks, but he bows down to the son of the Lin family and offers 500,000 taels of silver, he must be terrified in his heart! The person who can make the Guo gang leader frightened in his heart is not an ordinary young man?"

500,000 taels of silver!

Although the big guy had received the news a long time ago, he still couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard the news now.

Even if it is a prosperous family with tens of millions of dollars, it is absolutely nerve-wracking to take out 500,000 taels of silver in one go.

If it weren't for this Guo Tianhong being extremely scared, how could he grit his teeth and take out so many silver taels?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes changed.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!

This new salt patrol Yu Shi Lin Ruhai is really not an ordinary person.

His son Lin Zhao alone is so powerful, so what kind of guy is this Lin Ruhai?

Such a guy with official authority, fists, or the emperor's henchmen served as the imperial history of the salt patrol, once he looked at everyone here, wouldn't everyone have to break their bones?

"Hehe!" The big fat man called "Brother Zhaohe" was disdainful, and said coldly: "What kind of bullshit is extraordinary? I think that Guo Tianhong is obviously ignorant! He was directly scared away by his courage! The salt patrol five years ago, there was an offering by his side, and he could hurt people invisibly with his gestures, and at first the big guy thought it was a demon way, and in the end, it was not that Wei Ye was highly knowledgeable, and he knew what kind of trick it was, and I think this Lin Zhao is also roughly like this.

Lao Chen, after so many years, your old problem of complicating simple problems has not changed, Brother Qixiang, you are too, Guo Tianhong presented a silver ticket and jewelry, who can see with his own eyes that it is worth 500,000 taels? Who knows if these two families are playing some tricks, Xiang Zhuang is dancing with a sword, which is intended for Pei Gong, maybe his purpose is a good show that we people sing on purpose! Hmph!"

When the old Chen heard this, he was not annoyed, at least on the surface, he smiled, but he looked at the big fat man's eyes a little subtle.

He shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Zhaohe, you think like this, it's not funny, but you have to think about it, he Lin Yushi just passed by Zhenjiang Mansion and got 500,000 taels of silver, so how much money did he get when he came to Yangzhou to satisfy the appetite of this new salt inspector?"

"Even if I don't say it, Grandpa Wei must think of it. Lao Chen arched his hand at the one sitting on the main seat and said: "This Lin Ruhai is from Tanhualang, he has done such a noble position as a doctor in Lantai Temple, and he has a close relative like Rongguofu, so he will not be easily confused by money, then he will definitely be loyal to the emperor, be a scraper, and squeeze us crazily, just like those tax supervisors in the former Ming Dynasty!"

Everyone who said this was speechless.

Yes, Lin Ruhai, a small place in Zhenjiang, dares to extort 500,000 taels of silver, so when he arrives in Yangzhou, how much silver can feed him?

If only he was fed, it would be fine.

But this Lin Ruhai was born in a family, there is no shortage of gold and silver, and he is the first foreign official appointed by the emperor, in order to win the favor of Long Yan, how can he not scrape the ground and persecute the big guy to death?

Thinking of this, the dozens of salt merchants present suddenly looked colorless. They have money, and the forces behind them have power, and it stands to reason that they can stop ordinary people.

But it may not be able to stop the henchmen appointed by the emperor!

This Lin Ruhai really wants to raise taxes, do the forces behind them really dare to go against Lin Ruhai?

It is none other than the Yangzhou salt merchants who suffer the loss, could it be that those guys behind them will take one or two less silver?

If an agreement is reached above, in order to cope with the increased taxes, won't the big guys have to cut their own flesh?

"Hey, old Chen, what can I do?"

"I'm going to write to Duzhong to see what has changed?"

"If you don't stop Lin Ruhai, are we going to bankrupt?"

A group of salt merchants panicked and shouted.

But even though they shouted and screamed, their faces showed panic, but their eyes were still full of brilliance.

It doesn't seem to be taken seriously.

It also seems to be waiting for something.

At this time, one of the two people sitting at the top of the center coughed softly, and the noise in the court suddenly stopped.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. ”

The two people sitting in the middle of the head, one with white hair and silver hair, with a peaceful face, was the one who spoke, although his voice was very soft, and he was not very angry, but as soon as he spoke, even the middle-aged man beside him straightened his waist, and the person sitting below was even breathing much lighter, and his face was solemn.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, this is the old rule for many years, is it possible that an emperor appreciates Tanhualang came to be an official, and there is a martial arts boy brother under him, we are afraid? On the official face, on the fight against the Han, on the operation in Yangzhou, who are we afraid of? That person named Lin Zhao, is it difficult to kill only two people, look at you to surprise. ”

"That's what Wei Ye said!"

"Wei Ye said it!"

"Yes, just a Tanhualang, just a Yanai who dares to kill, what are we afraid of?"

"That Cao gang is afraid, we still have the Salt Gang, the White Lotus Sect, and the Zoroastrian Sect as foreign aid! Even if that kid dares to do it, we don't need to use our own people, we can still clean up the other party!"

"Wei Ye, what do you say we should do, what will we do?"

"Hehe, what should I do? Of course, follow the officials at all levels in Yangzhou and go to the dock to welcome the new Lin Yushi!"

Wei Ye smiled slightly, as if Zhizhu was in his hands.
