The banquet in Huizhenlou dispersed, but the crowd did not disperse, and dozens of salt merchants were still talking around Wang Yuanwai.

Originally, most salt merchants didn't know Lin Tailai, and they didn't have any intuitive feelings and personal pain.

But just now, Lin Tailai suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and he spoke and behaved like a super villain, which brought strong pressure to everyone.

Moreover, what Lin Daguan shows is not the kind of villain who cares for his own selfishness, but a villain who wants to subvert the existing pattern and redivide all interests.

This made the vested interests present feel fear from the heart, and a series of events have shown that Lin Tailai is not a madman who can only talk high, but really has a strong ability to act.

Although Lin Tailai has left, there seems to be a terrifying ghost wandering in the Huizhen Building, and only around Wang Yuanwai can there be a sense of security.

The two merchant gang leaders, Mr. Sun of the Western Merchants and Zheng Yuanwai of the Hui Merchants, glanced at each other and felt that they had lost a lot of things.

In the nearly 100-year commercial history of Yangzhou City, there has never been such an industry figure who is respected by Westerners and Hui people at the same time.

At this time, Wang Yuanwai was already standing on the chair, ensuring that his voice could be heard by everyone and his demeanor could be seen by everyone.

"Colleagues! It's not that I, Wang Qing, am great, but that there are some things that can only be said by me, and some things that can only be done by me!

Because Lin Tailai won't kill me in the short term, at least I won't have any worries for a month! ”

Wang Yuanwai's words are very real, but it is because they are true that they make people feel credible.

Then Wang Yuanwai continued: "Regarding the future, I will only say two points to you.

First, as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to resist Lin Tailai's disruption of the salt industry!

The silver of Taicang has a large proportion of the salt industry, and Huai salt occupies half of the salt industry in the world!

If the silver in Taicang is sharply reduced because of the disruption of the salt industry, no one can afford this responsibility, not even Lin Tailai and his backers!

But the premise is that there must be unity, and the result of fighting alone can only be eaten by the invaders! ”

This sentence can be regarded as cheering everyone up and making everyone realize their own advantages.

Next, I heard Wang Yuanwai say: "Second, we still have to be cautious, and we must not act rashly for the time being!"

Although Lin Tailai said that he would leave Yangzhou temporarily, it could not be ruled out that he was luring the snake out of the hole.

So we don't want to do anything these days, just pay attention to Lin Tailai's movements, and wait for Lin Tailai to leave Yangzhou clearly!

In the future, I will be in the light, and you will be in the dark, even if there is any accident, I will be held accountable by the above, and I, Wang Qing, will bear all the responsibility! ”

"Good!" Everyone cheered and cheered for Wang Yuanwai, who was strategic, advanced and retreated.

In the face of the fierce dragon crossing the river, the salt merchants finally had the backbone, found the guide, and clarified the direction of the future.

On the other side, after Lin Daguan left from Huizhen Building, he went directly out of Lijin Gate, got on the boat and left.

Lin Daguan, who was regarded as the big demon king by Yangzhou salt merchants, did not deceive people, he really went back to Suzhou.

He really didn't want to lure the snake out of the hole and want to catch it, but Fan Niangzi and Huang Wuniang, two women, were about to give birth.

Both of them are due from the end of August to the beginning of September, and it will be too late if they don't rush back.

For the boss with a huge foundation, the most feared thing is that there will be no one to follow.

Therefore, Lin Daguan attaches great importance to giving birth to offspring, and this time he came to Yangzhou to do business, and there were no scandals, but he was worried that it would affect the mood of the two pregnant women.

Even the four-hundred-year-old white Oiran that was kept in Wang Yuanwai's courtyard and within reach didn't dare to touch it, so he could only leave it for next time.

Feelings are such a thing, how can the upcoming heir be important.

Different from the low-key smuggling when he came, when he went all the way to the city, he made a big show and swaggered through the city, and Lin Daguan openly left Yangzhou City under the watchful eyes of the public.

From officials to businessmen in Yangzhou City, they were a little relieved, but they didn't dare to relax completely.

On the other side of the east gate, there are still 300 Suzhou guards, which seems to have become a base of Suzhou guards, and Lin Tailai will make a comeback at any time.

A day later, the city of Yangzhou got the exact news that Lin Daguan had crossed the river and entered the south of the Yangtze River.

Ma Yongdeng, who was still in Yangzhou City and refused to leave, immediately became active again and summoned more than a dozen representatives of salt merchants, including Wang Yuanwai.

Ma Xun said with enthusiastic encouragement: "The Lin family has done evil, and you are miserable, and this court has always served the people as the masters, and it is resolutely on your side."

If you find any clues or are infringed, you can complain to this court, and this court will definitely accept it! ”

After the salt merchants came out of the inspection institute, they talked about the attitude of the horse inspection.

Most people feel that Ma Xunji has also been bullied by Lin Tailai, which can be called the same hatred, and this channel can be used.

Only Wang Yuanwai said: "This person is not enough to conspire." ”

Two days later, an imperial edict arrived in Yangzhou to make a final ruling on the events of early August.

Ma Xun was directly demoted to Guangxi as a post keeper on the charge of "overstepping his authority and causing chaos", becoming the biggest victim.

This inexplicable result surprised the entire Yangzhou City.

In everyone's impression, in this incident, the people most responsible should be Governor Yang and Lin Zhuangyuan.

And Ma Xunpress is just a supporting role who has appeared for less than half a day, neither the instigator nor the leader of the incident, but he was beaten the hardest.

Even Governor Yang, who caused the accident first, ended up being only demoted by one level, and was deprived of the dispatch of Governor Fengyang, and only retained the governor Hecao, which was much lighter than Ma Xun's punishment.

No one can understand the political logic in this, and even Ma Xunji himself didn't expect that when he was still planning to retaliate against Lin Tailai, he was actually uprooted and became the worst one.

I don't know what others think, anyway, the salt merchants were convinced by Wang Yuanwai's foresight, and they admired Wang Yuanwai more and more.

As for Lin Zhuangyuan, he was heavily fined for one year, removed from the title of acting commander, and retained the official of Zhengwupin Thousand Households to continue to be responsible for supervising the transportation of Suzhou grain.

Commander Lin's title is not yet hot, and he has become Lin Qianhu again, but it doesn't seem to be a big difference, what should he do or what he does, and his actual authority has not been affected.

When Lin Daguan received the punishment edict, he was in Jingkouyi.

Seeing that he had changed from the nominal fourth grade to only the fifth grade left, Lin Daguan couldn't help but be fierce and sigh at the sky.

After only two months in office, he was demoted!

After feeling the unpredictability of the sea and the uncertain life situation, Lin Daguan, who was demoted to the fifth grade at the age of nineteen, naturally took over the pen and ink from the left and right protectors and began to write poems on the wall of the post house lobby.

"The Xiguan is unbiased, and the heart is far away. The morning glow is full of sunset dew, and the water birds are smoking.

The tree on the wall of the cloud stay, the spring on the stone with the wind ringing. The rivers and lakes are infinitely thoughtful, lingering in front of the sand gulls. ”

With a small song of five laws, it expresses the frustration of officialdom and the idea of returning to the rivers and lakes.

The blow of the demotion to Lin Daguan, a rookie in officialdom, is really too big.

On the way back home along the canal, in the most conspicuous places on the walls of the lobbies of the post stations, there were traces of the angry ink of Lin Daguan.

Compared with Lin Daguanren's previous works, the artistic style of these works has changed greatly, fully demonstrating the influence of life experiences on artistic style.

When he arrived at the Xishan Station outside the south gate of Wuxi County, Lin Daguan was moved again, and wrote a poem on the wall, entitled "More Leakage: Original Meaning".

"The oblique moon is horizontal, the stars are sparse, and the autumn night is really eternal! The voice is slow, dripping, and the eyes are not easy to open.

Frost leaf pendant, ghost insect flocculent, how can thin wine get drunk! The affairs of the world, the heart of a young man, are clear and deep. ”

After writing, the left and right protectors skillfully put away the pen and ink, and then Zhang Wu said to Lin Daguan:

"Sit down! I heard that the people of Wuxi are very unfriendly to you, and the poems written on the wall here are afraid that they will not be kept for long, and they may be shoveled or erased in two days. ”

It was rare for Zhang Wu to put forward a reasonable opinion, so Lin Daguan encouraged and asked: "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhang Wu turned his head and said to Yi Cheng: "The poems we write on the wall are all important works of the renewal society, and they should be kept for at least half a year!"

Before next summer, we will send people to regularly patrol the canal.

If the poems on the wall are damaged, then you are the enemy of our renewal society, and if you say that you will destroy your whole family, you will destroy your whole family! ”

Seeing the growth of his subordinates, Lin Daguan's depressed mood because of being demoted was somewhat soothed, and he said with relief: "The children can be taught." ”

Continue to move forward, this day is to Hushu Pass again. It's a pity that the people of the past have taken the yellow crane to go, and there is no king tax envoy in Hushu Pass.

Because of the needs of work, Wang Zhi did not go to the prosperous Yangzhou, and continued to be transferred to Jiujiangguan on the Yangtze River as a tax envoy as the head of the household department, and by the way, he also had a deputy envoy for military equipment.

It was called Chaisang in ancient times, and it was also the place where Bai Juyi wrote the pipa line, and Song Jiang also wrote here "Dare to laugh at Huangchao is not a husband".

Now the new tax envoy from Hushu Pass is surnamed Dong, what is the specific situation, Lin Daguan didn't care too much, and met with him politely.

Wang Zhidu left a letter to Lin Daguan, which was forwarded to Lin Daguan by the new Dong tax envoy.

In the letter, because the place of employment was changed from Yangzhou City, which was expected to be close to home, with more money and less trouble, to Jiujiang Pass, which is said to be frequented by river pirates, Wang Zhidu gave a three-page cordial greeting to Lin Daguan.

Lin Daguan put down the letter, walked to the account room of the customs office, and saw that there were people coming and going, all of whom were tax payers, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took the pen and wrote a poem of seven laws on the wall of the account room, entitled "Answer to Wang Shufeng's Book".

"The dream of wandering the rivers and lakes is not settled, and it is lingering from the thought.

The sin words are only worried, and the loneliness and anger who know the difficulty of retributing the country.

The herbs are almost full in the mountains, and the Heyi River is not cold.

Men are wandering ordinary things, thank you for the fish book ink is not dry. ”

The Dong tax envoy who was reading in the back was speechless, and the reply should be written on paper and sent over, how can there be a reason to write it on the wall?

However, Dong Shui didn't say anything, everyone is a cultural person, and they can't do anything about burning the qin and cooking cranes, after all, it is elegant to write poems on the wall of the journey.

After writing it, Lin Daguan said to the Dong tax envoy: "Please ask the envoy to copy a copy and send it to Jiujiang." ”

This tone is like calling a clerical master.

Although the Dong tax envoy felt that "it was my business", he still agreed.

Seeing that Dong Shui seemed to be a good person, Lin Daguan sold face again and said:

"Don't move the Mudu Port Customs, but the Hushu Pass and Likou Port are separated, and you can do it yourself."

Dong Shui made him happy, Lin Daguan was too face-saving, and he actually gave the vast majority of his share to himself.

Originally, I heard that after Lin Daguan was demoted, he was in a bad mood and burst with negative energy, and he was quite worried that his new official would hit a bad head.

Is it the reason for the heating, these two nights have been sleepy, and the code word rhythm is messy
