Chapter 141: The Predecessor (Reward for Maryane)
Lord Xu nodded, "Lord Zhang, Qian Zhengqin is already unofficial and light, we still have to work under Lord Lin!" ”
Lord Zhang was still very hesitant, of course he understood what Lord Xu meant, but if he gave the account book to Lin Ruhai, it would be equivalent to putting his net worth and life into Lin Ruhai's hands, and he would have to obey Lin Ruhai in the future. He is already in his fifties, and it is already very shameless to work under a young junior in his twenties, if you still have to bow down to him...... The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.
Seeing that Master Zhang was still hesitant, Lord Xu was very anxious, if it weren't for the fact that the account book was still in Lord Zhang's hands, he wouldn't have wasted words with him here at all. So, Lord Xu said a little impatiently: "If Lord Zhang still wants to continue to insist, then don't blame me for being unrighteous!" Lord Lin has the emperor's secret decree in his hands, obviously the emperor has long been clear, Lord Lin has given us the opportunity to make up for our mistakes, and has been waiting for us to take the initiative to hand over the money and account books received, but it is impossible for people to wait so long. Lord Zhang wants to save face, but I am afraid that if I continue like this, I will lose face, and I will take my own life, I am not better than Lord Zhang, and there is a family waiting for me to feed! After Lord Xu finished speaking, he ignored Lord Zhang, turned around and went straight to Lin Ruhai's office.
Lord Zhang was also anxious when he saw that Lord Xu was gone, he just wanted to find a better way to keep his old face, if Lord Xu explained the truth to Lin Ruhai one step ahead of him, his situation would be passive, Lord Xu was going to fight for the first credit! Master Zhang didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly returned home, found the account book in the secret compartment of the study, and hurriedly returned to the yamen, and went directly to find Lin Ruhai.
In Lin Ruhai's room, Lord Xu had just explained the ins and outs of the matter to Lin Ruhai clearly, "Lord Lin, those old silk merchants almost didn't follow suit, most of them were Lord Lin's clansmen, and those who didn't do the red deed were those rising stars, and the fields they held in their hands were also the most!" In fact, in the people, the common people rarely return to the yamen to apply for the red deed, because they don't want to pay the silver for the red deed, but the money and grain that should be paid are all sent by the government to collect it below, and there is no underpayment or non-payment. But Lord Qian came up with such a way to help those silk merchants evade a lot of taxes. Of course, I also got some benefits, but the big ones were taken by Lord Qian. The lower officials are willing to return all the money they have received, and they are willing to accept the punishment! ”

Lin Ruhai looked at Lord Xu, he didn't expect that Lord Xu was a person who dared to act, he came alone, Lord Zhang was unwilling to take the initiative to take responsibility, and he didn't fall into the well in front of him, trying to reduce his guilt, which made Lin Ruhai think highly of him. Lin Ruhai had already decided in his heart that he wanted to protect Lord Xu, and if he was a usable person, Lin Ruhai would reuse him.
Lin Ruhai was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door, Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while, and knew who it was.
"My lord! Mr. Zhang asks to see you! Outside the door, Lin Xing said loudly.
Lin Ruhai and Lord Xu glanced at each other, and Lin Ruhai said expressionlessly: "Please come in, Lord Zhang!" ”
After Lord Zhang came in, he looked at Lin Ruhai's face, glanced at Lord Xu, and felt angry that he didn't wait for him to come together, "Why did Lord Xu come first?" It's not like you're going to find >> together
