Chapter 65: Lin Yin
Zhang Wenyue was really forced by Zhang Yuelu to have no choice but to tell Zhang Yuelu about the situation related to Lin Yin's case.
Lin Yin, who was originally also engaged in maritime trade business, was not rich and expensive, only had one ship, at most he was an ordinary family, and he ate with his mouth.
Just a few years ago, Lin Yin took over a deal related to the provincial government, transporting a batch of goods to an island that was not on the normal route.
The province built some fortifications on that island, and at first it was by flying boat, not by sea, so it didn't matter if it was within the normal course or not.
Later, the provincial government decided that it would be too expensive to transport supplies by flying boat, so they outsourced this part. Subordinate chambers of commerce that are not part of the provincial government will come forward to recruit ships.
Because it is not in the normal route, and it has to pass through a reef, and there are krakens infested, the risk is greater, although the price given by the Taoist government is quite not low, but there are still not many people willing to take it, after Lin Yin took the deal, after several twists and turns, after going through hardships and dangers, he finally arrived smoothly, and drew the corresponding chart, marking how to avoid the reef and the kraken, which is considered to have opened up a new route.
For a period of time after that, Lin Yin was always in charge of the transportation of materials here, because the demand was very high, and the chamber of commerce's bid was high enough, so Lin Yin made a lot of money, and even began to plan to save money to buy a second ship.
At this moment, the Chamber of Commerce suddenly asked Lin Yin to hand in the chart. People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Lin Yin wanted to count on the Chamber of Commerce to do business, although he was reluctant, he still handed over the chart.
Unexpectedly, not long after Lin Yin handed over the chart, the Chamber of Commerce kicked him out and handed over the transaction to the Nanyang United Trading Company.
This Nanyang United Trading Company has a deep background, a big business, and does all kinds of business, and its tentacles have extended to all corners of the maritime trade, and this little profit is not let go.
Things have come to this point, and there is really nothing. Although Lin Yin was resentful and angry, he knew that Nanyang United Trading Company had a big business, and it was really not something he could afford to provoke, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Later, Lin Yin heard that the Nanyang United Trading Company always sank, either hit the reef or was robbed by the Kraken, and suffered great losses.
This made Lin Yin feel very strange, he obviously handed over the chart, why was the Nanyang United Trading Company still sunk?
Is there something greasy in this? So Lin Yin found an opportunity and decided to secretly follow the ships of the Nanyang United Trading Company to the sea to see what was wrong.
As a result, Lin Yin found that the Nanyang United Trading Company did not sink the ship at all, but embezzled the goods in the name of the sunken ship, and this part of the loss was actually borne by the provincial government.
In other words, it is the corner of the Nanyang United Trading Company in the province of Dig. After Lin Yin found out about this situation, he thought that he could not do this with Nanyang United Trading Company alone, and he must be in collusion with the Chamber of Commerce, so he couldn't go to the Chamber of Commerce, so he decided to report the matter to the provincial government.
Lin Yin came to the branch of the Fengxian Hall of the Provincial Government to report the matter. The Fengxiantang branch of the provincial government attached great importance to Lin Yin's report, and the response was also very fast, and it was quickly approved to the Fengxiantang branch of the Eastern Metropolitan Mansion, and the Fengxiantang branch of the Eastern Metropolitan Mansion was pressed down again, and it was approved to the side of the Chamber of Commerce.
Then there was no movement. The Chamber of Commerce has been pressing for more than half a year. Lin Yin later reported several times, and finally it was approved by the Chamber of Commerce for processing.
As Lin Yin expected, the Chamber of Commerce had long been in collusion with Nanyang United Trading Company, how could it check itself?
The steward of the Chamber of Commerce even shouted at Lin Yin: "You just go to the main hall of Yujing Fengxian Hall to complain, I won't do it for you, and you can't do it!" On the other side, the people of the Nanyang United Trading Company knew about Lin Yin's report on him, and immediately sent someone to find Lin Yin, threatened him, taught Lin Yin a hard lesson, beat Lin Yin all over his body, and scuttled Lin Yin's ship.
The boat is Lin Yin's lifeblood, but at this point, the situation is still under control. Lin Yin reported to the provincial government again, but the provincial government still reacted quickly, and pressed the case to the side of the Fuguan of the Eastern Capital Prefecture, Lin Yin did not mention the collusion between the Nanyang United Trading Company and the Chamber of Commerce to embezzle ink this time, but reported that the Nanyang United Trading Company scuttled his ship.
The Fuguan of the Eastern Capital Prefecture checked it decently for a few days, but finally ended up without a problem. Lin Yin went to look for it a few more times, but was prevaricated by the people in the government on the grounds of insufficient manpower and insufficient funds.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yuelu said that Lin Yin reported the situation to you in accordance with the rules and reported all kinds of illegal affairs of Nanyang United Trading Company, and you don't care.
However, according to Zhang Wenyue, Fuguan's side is not careless, in fact, it is in charge, and the head of Fuguan found the people of Nanyang United Trading Company and asked them to pay compensation to Lin Yin, solve the matter as soon as possible, and don't make a big deal about it.
As a result, Nanyang United Trading Company was used to being domineering, and on the surface, they promised to come down, and turned around and found Lin Yin for the second time, but it was not compensation, but a threat, this time, they kidnapped Lin Yin's wife.
The two sides started negotiations, and the specific negotiations are unknown to outsiders, but the result is that Lin Yin's wife was sold by the people of Nanyang United Trading Company, and it is also said that she was stuffed into a wooden barrel and sunk into the sea, in short, the negotiations completely collapsed.
At this point, the situation was completely out of control, and it entered the stage where Lin Yin solved the problem in his own way.
After such a series of changes, Lin Yin has lost his trust in the Daofu, he himself is a congenital person, at this time, alone, without any worries, he directly found Qibaofang, scattered his family wealth, and bought a handful from the black market
"Shoot the Sun Long Gun" and seven rounds
"Longyan Yiyi", after a period of investigation, launched a revenge against the Nanyang United Trading Company, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Provincial Government.
Needless to say, only heaven and man can withstand it, and after the general congenital people encounter it, it is difficult to escape death.
So in a very short period of time, Lin Yin killed three managers of the Nanyang United Trading Company in a row, including two people who negotiated with him, and one person who taught him a lesson and scuttled his ship.
There are two stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, including one who said that he would go to Yujing to complain. One person was injured on the provincial side and saved his life.
This incident caused the Daoist government to be extremely angry, and sent a spirit official to arrest Lin Yin. This time, the provincial government acted very quickly, and there was no prevarication, perfunctory, prevarication, and no shortage of manpower and funds.
Lin Yin knew that he was cornered, and finally chose to commit suicide. Afterwards, the provincial government convicted Lin Yin of a heinous crime.
This is also why Zhang Yuelu said, you also said that Lin Yin is unreasonable, does not pay attention to the rules, does not speak of the law, and confronts the Taoist government, which is a great crime.
Among them, what made Zhang Yuelu most angry was not Lin Yin's desperate revenge, nor the collusion between inside and outside to dig up the wall, but the fact that the Taoist government lost control of the below, was insensitive, and routine.
The provincial government has a clear rule that this kind of thing must come and go. The provincial government approves the matter to be dealt with below, and it is definitely not a sentence to finish the matter, but to issue an official letter, which is
"Come". After the following person receives the above official letter, after dealing with it according to the official letter, he must reply to the above again, stating the specific processing result, which is
"Back". That's a complete process. To put it more broadly, it is related to the level of the deputy governor, and there is one more process.
The following people present an official letter to the deputy governor, yes
"Come", the deputy head of the house carried out
"Approve red", sign your own order or disposition opinion, and then return it, this is
"Back". The last extra procedure is that the following people will carry out the implementation according to the opinions of the deputy governor, and then report the specific results of the implementation to the deputy governor.
That's a complete process. It turned out that this thing was only
"Come", no
"Back". The person above seemed to react quickly, sent an official letter to the bottom, and then ignored the question. The following dragged on, there was no reply, no result, and finally it was over.
It's routine, it's insensitivity. This matter could have been nipped in the bud at the very beginning, but because of the inaction of the Daofu, things developed in an uncontrollable direction step by step, and finally became the current situation, Lin Yin's family was ruined, and those stewards were not spared.
That's it, because this is just what Zhang Yuelu said about not solving the problem in advance. But after this happened, the fuse of all this, the business that Lin Yin was in charge of at the beginning, was still done by the people of Nanyang United Trading Company, or the shipwreck every month, as if nothing had happened.
This is what Zhang Yuelu said and will not solve the problem afterwards. Something like this happened, and it's business as usual. Not to mention reflection, there is not even a little vigilance and remedy.
How can Zhang Yuelu not be annoyed? So she repeatedly asked Zhang Wenyue whether she was right about things or people, or not about people.
She can not ask Lin Yin whether it is right or wrong for the time being, she only asks one point, is there a problem here, and if there is a problem, why not solve the problem?
This is the same as Qi Xuansu's line of thought, when Qi Xuansu punished Huang Jiaoqing, he also put aside the controversial places for the time being, and did not ask whether Huang Jiaoqing was right or wrong to deal with it like this, but grasped the key point and held Huang Jiaoqing accountable for privately calling the spirit official.
As newcomers, the two of them did not have enough strength to cut through the mess quickly, and if they wanted to quickly open the situation, they had to find a thread from this mess, and then peel off the cocoon along this thread.
As for Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Yuelu thinks that he probably has no interest entanglement with Nanyang Trading Company, after all, he was born in the Zhang family, and unlike Zhang Quanquan, who has to raise so many mistresses, plus he is relatively young, the family has given a lot of support, and there is no shortage of Taiping money at all, he will not dirty his hands because of a little profit, and he still cherishes his feathers.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Wenyue has no problems, a lazy inaction cannot escape, and the light is the same as the dust, a ball of harmony, and timidity.
Zhang Yuelu explicitly ordered Zhang Wenyue to immediately arrest the relevant people involved in the case, including those who did not act.
She wants to investigate the case thoroughly.
