Chapter 46: Waiting for the Fish to Take the Bait

Just when Tao Yao was heading to Nansu, Xiaoshan's side suddenly had a storm.

"Lord Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time-" An uninvited guest came to the Jiang Mansion in the morning, but he still had to treat people politely.

"Yo, isn't this Gong Li. How did you come to my poor country after all this thousands of miles? Jiang Barium stood up, his face full of hypocrisy.

"Lord Jiang's words are low, Luoyang County and Nansu are very close, and trade is active here, but it is a rich land. Master Jiang, how can you talk about the last poor word? Li Mingtao had something to say.

Jiang Barium pursed his lips, and scolded secretly in his heart: Okay, you Li Mingtao, you are saying that Luoyang County is rich, you are clearly saying that I am rich! "What does Gong Li mean? Does it mean that I, Jiang Barium, bent the law for personal gain, and failed to take bribes? "Jiang Barium is also an old fox, and he knows that if he deals with such a person, it will be bad for him to go around too much.

"What are you talking about, Lord Jiang, I mean that the people of Luoyang County are outstanding people, and Lord Jiang has a good way of governance! Aha! Li Mingtao pretended not to know.

In fact, Jiang Barium was not wrong at all, Li Mingtao came here for the sake of Linglong Pavilion, in his heart, Linglong Pavilion must have given Jiang Barium countless benefits, which made this usually cautious old thing come out and bite people. Otherwise, how could he, a court official, compare his wealth with him, and secretly I don't know how much benefit he has received. It's good that this is exquisite, no matter how he says it, it's all in his mouth, how can Jiang Barium tolerate him? Is it possible to dare to give him a hard button?

"What is the so-called matter of Li Gong's visit this time?" Jiang Barium didn't plan to be a man with his tail between his legs when he was determined to have a showdown with the Li family, and he would sit down with his ass in his ass, and he didn't have the goodwill to invite him at all.

"I just arrived in Luoyang County, and Master Jiang is in the house, how can Li not come to visit first?" Li Mingtao didn't say it directly, businessmen are not good at this, they always love to go around in circles.

Jiang Barium frowned, Li Mingtao came to visit him? Isn't this a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken!

"Gong Li is polite, but my Jiang Mansion is not like the Li Mansion with a lot of money and wealth, there is nothing to entertain, and I have to wronged Li Gong!" Jiang Barium smiled perfunctorily, thinking that even if there is, it will not be used for you!

Xiao Shan also sent someone to send some good tea and wine before, but Jiang Barium didn't want to take it out, what could he do.

"Master Jiang has been raised, in fact, Li still has something to ask for when he came this time-" Li Mingtao said tentatively, and then looked at Jiang Barium's expression without blinking.

"It's a joke, Li Gong is famous all over the world, no matter where he is, who doesn't know the reputation of the Li family, and who doesn't know that the Li family's wealth is rivaled by the country. Li Gong will have something to ask for his own official? Jiang Barium was still sitting there, neither letting anyone bring tea nor driving Li Mingtao away.

"Master Jiang, Li is just a commoner, and his friends in the business field promoted Li, so he gave Li such a false name. Now someone wants to use adults to harm Li, and Li has nowhere to complain! Li Mingtao sighed and said slowly.

"Oh? Li Gong still has such troubles? Jiang Barium was silent, thinking to himself that you can't help the matter of Linglong Pavilion, this will be the first to complain about the bitterness, it is shameless to this point, he Jiang Barium has thrown himself to the ground.

"My Li family has been in business for generations, and they are also conscientious, and they dare not do anything illegal. Who knew that Linglong Pavilion, which had only been in business for a year, had sold weapons, and wanted to use the name of the Li family. This...... Isn't that wronged? Li Mingtao's old eyes were cloudy, as if he was about to cry, if Jiang Barium didn't know who he was, I'm afraid he would really be deceived by him.

"Linglong Pavilion? Isn't that the shop that sells jewelry? Jiang Barium pretended to be stupid.

"Yes, Lord Jiang doesn't know? A few days ago, this Linglong Pavilion came out of a Linglong family, not at all to do jewelry trading, but to do everything! After Li Mingtao carefully analyzed the model of the Linglong family, he was like a great enemy, if this trouble was not eliminated, his Li family would definitely no longer be able to maintain the status of a single tree.

"Linglong's family? I've been there before, isn't it just a shop that buys and sells oil, salt, sauce and vinegar? Li Gongmo didn't listen to the villain's slander, so he said this, this can't be compared with weapons! Jiang Barium's eyes widened, obviously not in disbelief.

Li Mingtao also knew that this guy would not admit to secretly colluding with Linglong Pavilion, but he didn't know it directly, and he was also extremely angry.

"Master Jiang doesn't know, Linglong's family is originally engaged in the business of renting shops, Lord Jiang thinks, anyone can sell it, anyone can buy it. Isn't this just a way to sell stolen goods? "Li Mingtao's brain hole is also big, and he can be framed so justifiably.

"Oh-I see-" Jiang Barium suddenly realized, and just when Li Mingtao despised the other party and was about to open his mouth to add another fire, he pinched the flame for Jiang Barium again.

"Then Li Gong must have some evidence, if so, Li Gong can rest assured. I, Jiang Barium, will definitely present it truthfully and give a bad breath for Gong Li! Jiang Barium said that it was incumbent, and his face was full of righteousness, which made Li Mingtao's breath of vitality go down.

If he had substantial evidence, would he still use it? Isn't he making evidence, it's just that this evidence can't stand scrutiny, and if the Jiang clan really gets in the way, there is nothing he can do.

Jiang Barium actually has a conservative attitude towards Linglong Pavilion, although it is a verbal truth, but what if people really collude with foreigners? With Jiang Barium's conservative temperament, he must investigate clearly, and if Li Mingtao really has any evidence in this trial, he will naturally do something else. If Li Mingtao has no evidence, he wants to borrow the Jiang family's hand to help him eradicate Linglong Pavilion.

For Li Mingtao, the disappearance of Linglong Pavilion is imperative.

"Linglong Pavilion's methods are not ordinary, Li only has part of the evidence, the master of this Linglong Pavilion is a sinister and cunning person, and he has destroyed a lot of evidence. Therefore, this is also a matter for Li to come to ask Lord Jiang. Li Mingtao said with a calm face.

"Oh? Li Gong can't help it? So what can I do as a minor official? Why don't you talk about it? Jiang Barium asked with a smile.

"Master Jiang just needs not to meddle in this matter." Only then did Li Mingtao say what he meant.

"Don't meddle? Li Gong also needs a famous saying. Jiang Barium knew in his heart that this Li Mingtao could do such a net worth, I am afraid that he would do this kind of thing behind his back!

"If this Linglong family becomes the climate, it will be a disadvantage for us in Beigao, if Lord Jiang can temporarily stop the shop of the Linglong family, and search according to the law, maybe something unexpected can be found. When the time comes, it is not impossible for Lord Jiang to ascend to Xiaocheng! Li Mingtao thought about it before he said it, he also wanted to see Jiang Barium's attitude, since he had already come, he was not afraid of startling the snake.

"What does Gong Li mean is that he has already gotten the news that there are bad things in the Linglong family?" Jiang Barium was surprised and asked.

"This news was given by Xianchi Building." Li Mingtao continued to flicker.

"That's it-Gong Li, this official still has to think about this matter for a while, why don't you go back first, and when I think about it, I will send someone to inform you." Jiang Barium then issued an eviction order, thinking about whether to notify the Linglong Pavilion.

"Master Jiang, what does this mean? I also have to think about it, isn't it that Lord Jiang has received what benefits from Linglong Pavilion? Li Mingtao is not afraid to say it in front of people, he just wants the Jiang family to know that the Li family is not something they can compete with, no matter where they are!

"Li Gong!" Jiang Barium was furious, he was simply deceiving people too much, but he slowly controlled his emotions and opened his mouth coldly: "Linglong's family is now known to everyone in Luoyang County, and the people often go there, if it is rashly sealed, but nothing is found out, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty?" Li Gong is too anxious, I'm afraid it's not for Beigao, but for himself. "Although Jiang Barium is traditional, he is not a fool, and he will not allow others to ride on his head for convenience.

"Humph! Since this is the case, Li is waiting for the good news from Master Jiang. However, there is a sentence to advise Lord Jiang, be careful of getting on the wrong boat, the ship will be destroyed and people will die! After Li Mingtao said this, he waved his wide sleeves and left without looking back.

Jiang Barium sat upright on the chair for a long time, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and only after a full stick of incense did he raise his head slightly, his eyes full of resentment.

"Someone." Jiang Barium called.

"Master—" The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this.

"Go and call the young master." Jiang Barium put down the teacup hard, and the cup made a heavy bang, as if he had made some decision.

"Father, what is the matter with calling your son?" Jiang Barium was full of smugness, but he didn't dare to come out in front of Jiang Barium.

"You go to Linglong's house now, and say that Li Mingtao is here, saying that there are unclean things in Linglong's house." Jiang Barium said word by word, saying it very clearly, but Jiang Mu didn't understand.

"The head of the Li family is here? Father, but for that thing? Jiang Mu looked a little flustered, he didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, Li Mingtao would come in person.

"Well, let Linglong's family wipe their butts clean!" Jiang Barium instructed again.

"My son understands, so my son will go." Jiang Mu was also about to go to Linglong's house to find Xiaoshan, but when he saw that something was wrong, he was even more anxious to find someone.

"Wait!" Just as Jiang Mu turned to leave, he was stopped by Jiang Barium again.

"Father?" Jiang Mu was puzzled, was there anything else?

"If the Linglong family can't even settle this matter, you will cut off all relations with them." Jiang Barium said solemnly.

"Father? …… The son got it. Jiang Muben still had questions, but when he saw his father's serious expression, he closed his mouth with interest.

"Go ahead." Jiang Barium waved his hand tiredly, this son is his hope and the hope of the Jiang family, but he still doesn't know if he can take on the big responsibility, which is why he is so stern and unsmiling at Jiang Mu.

"Yes, my son is leaving." Jiang Mu cautiously retreated and went straight to Linglong's house.

And Xiao Shan had already learned the news of Liming's arrival in Luoyang County long before Jiang Mu came, and he was ready at this time, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
