Hearing the latest official identity of Lin Daguan, Zhao Dawu bowed his head and said: "Zhao Dawu, the deputy leader of the thousand households, see Chief Lin!" ”

Lin Tailai understands that it seems that Zhao Dawu has been promoted and changed from a hundred households to a thousand households.

And listening to the name of "Lingyun", you can know that it is indeed his subordinate who supervises and commands serious affairs.

The Suzhou Cao army who was present nearby also came over one after another and knelt down together, and there were about 100 people.

Lin Daguan waved his hand, "Get up!" The official didn't care about these red tapes, and waited for this breath for you. ”

After finishing speaking, he moved his arms and walked impatiently towards the warehouse not far away.

"Chief Lin, slow down! Don't be impulsive! Zhao Dawu hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

Lin Daguan said impatiently: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Facing his direct boss, Zhao Dawu held back for a long time, and could only hold back one sentence: "If you have something to say, you really can't do it." ”

Today, beating people in Shuicicang for the issue of grain delivery is to provoke the existing rules, and it will be even more uncomfortable when the Suzhou Cao army comes to pay grain in the future.

It was supposed to be a process of pulling each other, but if the nature of the beating changed.

Lin Daguan still didn't listen to persuasion, and said unmoved: "If you have nothing to say, shut up." ”

In a hurry, Zhao Dawu said again: "Chief Lin thinks twice! If you cause an accident in Shuicicang, which is directly under the household department of the imperial court, your hard-won official position is likely to be gone! ”

Just wait for this sentence! Lin Daguan looked around, and said loudly and arrogantly:

"In order to vent the anger of the Cao Jun brothers, what is an official position!"

Then he shook off Zhao Dawu and strode towards Cangjian with his entourage.

When the nearby Suzhou Caojun heard the words of Lin Daguan, he immediately felt that some people shouted with their arms: "Commander Lin stands up for us, and we can't sit back and watch Commander Lin get into danger!" ”

The army's heart is like this, Zhao Dawu has no choice but to quickly lead people to catch up.

Lin Daguan suddenly turned around and shouted: "I have a meritorious official body protection, so don't follow me later, so as not to be punished!"

Zhao Dawu listens to military orders! You led all the Cao troops present to stay put! ”

Even the two words of the military order were shouted, so Zhao Dawu had to wait in place.

After a while, Zhao Dawu heard the sound of shouting from behind the wall of the warehouse. Don't think about it, it must be Chief Lin who is making another surprise attack.

Lin Daguan has repeatedly broken more with less, in addition to the courage factor, often taking the lead in surprise attacks by the other party is also an important reason.

After a while, I saw Lin Daguan walking out from behind the wall of the warehouse with a scribe in one hand, and the other attendants also dragged two scribes.

There were also many warehouse soldiers who were responsible for guarding the water warehouse, and they followed Lin Daguan and his party, but they didn't dare to use the rat trap.

Zhao Dawu patted his face painfully, it was difficult to deal with the aftermath now!

Lin Tailai walked back, shook the two scribes in his hand, and motioned to Zhao Dawu: "Which one is the barn official who is making things difficult?" ”

Zhao Dawu was very tired and didn't want to speak, but another Cao Jun shouted: "It's the person on Chief Lin's right hand!" ”

When Lin Tailai heard this, he ordered his entourage to tie the storekeeper in his right hand to the tree.

Then he pointed at the warehouse official and reprimanded: "The imperial court uses you to manage the water storage of grain, in order to facilitate the transfer of grain, not to let you take the opportunity to make it difficult for the Cao Jun brothers!"

Today, you are in the hands of my Lin Tailai, how can I spare you! I, Lin Tailai, will punish you on behalf of the hearts of the people! ”

Immediately, Lin Daguan broke off the wicker by the river, used it as a whip, and beat it fiercely.

The barn was playing dead, but after being whipped by the wicker, he screamed in pain.

The surrounding Cao Jun didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and cheered loudly together, this newly appointed commander really has a bit of "righteousness and thin clouds" and "doing the right thing for the sky", which is definitely worth following.

Only Zhao Dawu was silent, he felt that he was now the calmest person in the audience.

At this time, dozens of warehouse soldiers appeared, and they were surrounded by an ugly and angry Zhengliupin official.

Zhao Dawu was the first to see it, and hurriedly shouted to Lin Tailai: "Peng Cangguan is here!" ”

Generally, in warehouses, warehouses, fields, bureaus, including customs and other places, there are ambassadors as chief officials, and the grade is only nine grades.

However, in some extremely important places, it is often directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs also serve as ambassadors. For example, the capital of the king of Hushuguan is to serve as the official director of the household department and the tax customs ambassador.

The same is true of the Yangzhou Water Warehouse, which is located in the hub of Caoyun, and the same is the official position of the head of the household department to concurrently serve as the ambassador of the Water Warehouse.

Therefore, this Peng Cangguan is not a minor official of the ninth grade, nor is he a magistrate, but an official of the household department of the sixth grade, and his status is more noble than that of ordinary state and county magistrates.

After all, in the Ming officialdom, there is a tradition of emphasizing the inside and the outside, and the Beijing officials have a higher character than the local officials, and even if the household officials are sent to the outside, they are also considered Beijing officials.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Dawu didn't dare to make a mistake before, and wanted to stop Lin Daguan from doing it.

The angry Peng Cangguan walked up to Lin Tailai and reprimanded sharply: "You are just the leader of the Cao army, and you dare to lynch the cangist!" ”

To be honest, Lin Daguan's behavior is indeed a bit foul.

According to the unwritten rule of officialdom, if you want to clean up other officials, you must first say hello to the other party's boss and get permission.

Lin Tailai asked rhetorically: "Now that there is a matter of blackmailing the Cao army, this official wants to seek justice for the Cao army, so what do you think of Peng Cang?" Remind you, think about it before answering! ”

Peng Cangguan replied: "Shuicicang has its own rules, and it is not your turn as an outsider to instruct!" ”

Lin Daguan smiled "hehe", raised the wicker whip again, and continued to beat the barn official tied to the tree in front of Peng Cangguan.

The mouth is still repeated: "A garbage guarding Caocang, shameless face, makes you ignorant!" You don't know what to do! ”

I don't know who Lin Daguan is talking about, Peng Cangguan is so angry that his face is red, he has not been treated like this in the local area since he was sent on a foreign mission as an official of the household department!

Peng Cangguan took another step forward and shouted angrily: "This official ordered you to stop!" ”

Lin Daguan seemed to be so frightened that his hands trembled, and the wicker whip shook it obliquely, and directly slapped it on Peng Cangguan's head.

Immediately, everyone saw that Peng Cangguan's official hat was directly pulled away by the wicker, and a trace was also left on his forehead.

Peng Cangguan's entire face became distorted, and he didn't know whether he was in pain or angry.

It is a mere fourth-grade military attache who dares to do something to the honorable civil officials of the household department, and he still humiliates him like this, which is simply against the sky!

Lin Daguan was busy apologizing again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" It's all my fault! Slippery hands for a while! Please forgive me for your forgiveness! ”

At this time, a large number of soldiers poured out of the water warehouse, the number was about two hundred, and the most important thing was a number of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows.

In an important place like Shuijikura, there must be a warehouse guard stationed under the command of the warehouse officer.

The soldiers of Yangzhou Shuicicang were all transferred from Yangzhou Wei and Gaoyou Wei nearby.

Peng Cangguan slowly retreated, and ordered the Cangbing soldiers: "Surround them all!" ”

Zhao Dawu sighed, the time to come has finally come.

And those Suzhou Caojun, who have always been not afraid of big things and applauded Lin Daguan, finally realized that they seemed to have gone too far? Could it be that he just fell into a frenzy and blindly obeyed blindly?

Then Peng Cangguan, whose hair was scattered, gritted his teeth and said to Lin Daguan:

"Lin Tailai! You dare to make trouble in the water warehouse and disturb the luck, the sin is unforgivable! I can't spare you today! ”

Lin Daguan suddenly turned his head and asked Zhao Dawu, "The matter has come to this, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Dawu muttered helplessly: "I will be charged with Shen Sheng, and you will kill him to find a savior." ”

After all, Lin Daguan has a bit of a relationship at the top, and there is still hope of finding someone to settle down.

Moreover, according to the Ming system, the punishment of military attaches must be approved by the emperor, unless they have the privilege of "acting cheaply".

Therefore, Zhao Dawu knew that even if he was arrested, he would not suffer too much for the time being, and he would take time first.

"Something with no ambition!" Lin Daguan scolded, and then ignored Zhao Dawu.

Then he said to Peng Cangguan: "Don't worry, don't worry! I've got something good to show you! ”

At this time, the left protector Zhang Wen hurriedly took out something from his leather bag, sandwiched it with two layers of hardwood, wrapped in silk cloth on the outside, and stamped it with a seal.

Those who are familiar with officialdom will know at a glance that this is the form of an important official document.

Lin Daguan pointed to the official document and said: "I went south from Beijing this time, and the household department asked me to bring an order to Yangzhou Shuicicang, and Peng Cang personally opened it to take a look, so as not to miss the big thing." ”

Peng Cangguan was shocked, he also knew that Lin Tailai would never dare to forge official documents, so he took it, opened it and read it after checking it.

The content of the official document is very simple, in a nutshell, in order to reduce the friction in the process of putting grain into the warehouse, all the warehouse soldiers of Yangzhou Shuicicang were transferred from Suzhou Wei, and all the scribes of Yangzhou Shuicicang were requisitioned from Suzhou Prefecture.

In other words, all the warehouse soldiers of Yangzhou Shuici Warehouse should be replaced by Suzhou guards, and all the warehouse officials should be replaced by Suzhou people.

Anger rose from his heart, and Peng Cangguan viciously threw the official document to the ground! Which bastard came up with this trick?

If all the warehouse soldiers and warehouse officials are replaced by Suzhou people, wouldn't there be a possibility that his warehouse official would be hollowed out?

While Peng Cangguan was still pondering, Lin Daguan stretched out two fingers and said:

"Peng Cang! Now you only have two paths to take, the first is to accept the orders of the imperial court; The second is disobedience and rebellion! ”

Peng Cangguan felt that his heart and lungs were about to explode, he had been an official for more than ten years, and he had never been so aggrieved as he was today, why should he suffer such grievances!

Suddenly, I remembered that Lin Tailai had just said a sentence of "I'll answer after thinking about it." Is it because I made a mistake in what I just said?

Lin Tailai looked around and said in a loud voice: "This official Suzhou Wei Inspector Yun commanded Lin Tailai, with the permission of the imperial court, from today onwards, he will begin to arrange the defense of Yangzhou Water Warehouse!" ”

Then he shouted: "Zhao Dawu! Order you to prepare for Yangzhou Water Warehouse for the time being! ”

Zhao Dawu was stunned and forgot to respond, what is the situation in the confusion?

Lin Tailai slapped Zhao Dawu in the face, made him wake up, and continued to command:

"You first take the Cao Jun brothers who are willing to stay for the time being, familiarize yourself with the situation of the water warehouse, and then wait for me to return to Suzhou, and then send troops to fully change the defense."

Zhao Dawu was in a daze and accepted the order.

The surrounding Suzhou guards kept chanting: "Commander Lin is mighty!" ”

Lin Daguan's prestige among the Suzhou Weicao Army, on the basis of the benefits of transporting salt last time, is estimated to be directly full today.

Lin Tailai nodded secretly, and it was not in vain that he had been tossing for half a day.

Only then did the Zhang family brothers, the left and right protectors, understand what it meant to sit in the hall and say that they would turn Yangzhou Shuicicang into a base.

There are hundreds of people in Shuici Cangcang's soldiers, if they are all sent from Suzhou, wouldn't it be equivalent to sitting in Yangzhou with hundreds of thugs?

Lin Daguan instructed his entourage: "I don't want to stay in Yangzhou for a long time this time, now that I'm done, I will set off immediately and continue south to Suzhou!" ”

At this moment, Zhao Dawu had regained his senses, and he wanted to keep Chief Lin for a day or two. However, it was unsuccessful, so he could only watch Chief Lin get on the boat and leave.

This is really a resolute, stormy boss who doesn't give people time to react at all.

As soon as Chief Lin was sent away, Zhao Dawu, the freshly baked acting deputy of the Imperial Household of Shuici Warehouse, saw that Wang Yuanwai, a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou, ran over out of breath.

"Slow! Still a step slow! After inquiring about the situation, Wang Yuanwai said with annoyance.

After crossing the river from the Guazhou ferry, Lin Daguan returned to Jiangnan, where he had been absent for several months.

So Lin Daguan was no longer low-key, and the honor guard cards or something were all played on the boat.

The three ships form a small fleet, and the most striking first pair of official plaques is on the bow of the lead ship.

On one side is written "No. 1 in the world", and on the other side is written "Peerless Warriors".

On the second pair of official plates, they are written "Sanyuan Wukui" and "Hand-picked Champion".

On the third pair of official cards, it is "supervising the transportation of Su grain" and "acting affairs".

The official card is so exaggerated, the momentum must be pinched out, and the achievements of life must be blown out, otherwise how can you bluff people when you play it?

After crossing the river, they arrived in Suzhou a few days later, and the high Yangtze River greeted them at the junction of Suzhou and Changzhou.

After getting on the boat, Gao Changjiang took the initiative to report: "The welcome ceremony over there in Fengqiao is ready, absolutely grand, worthy of the identity of the museum!" ”

Lin Daguan said lightly: "The ceremony is a trivial matter, but before I left Suzhou, did I complete the test I gave you?" ”

Gao Changjiang said suspiciously: "There are too many tests to sit in the hall, which one are you talking about this time?" ”

Lin Daguan reminded: "It is the place in the south of the city, which is occupied by monks. As I said, you have to get it done before you come back. ”

"It turned out that it was Canglang Pavilion!" Gao Changjiang suddenly realized, "I have already taken it!" ”

Then he reported: "Those monks are really as they guessed, and they usually lend money.

We found a victim of the suffering, he mortgaged his property to ask the monk to borrow a debt, but later he couldn't pay the debt, and wanted to use the property to pay off the debt.

But the monks were still greedy and pretended not to accept the property, maliciously driving down the housing prices.

This bitter lord was desperate, so we kindly took over the matter, and after making trouble to the yamen, we stripped the Canglang Pavilion, which belonged to the public land, from the hands of the monks. ”

Lin Daguan nodded, and rarely praised Gao Changjiang: "I have made progress in doing things!" ”

Then he said: "Now based on the Canglang Pavilion, let's build the Lin Mansion, and complete it before the summer of next year!" ”
