Chapter 338: Regulations and Farce (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

A few days later, the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division convened the salt merchants to recognize the nest and lead the nest to 5,000, which took the form of bidding on the surface.

This form is a bit like the tenders of later generations, and of course it will be like many tenders, and the results are often "predicted" in advance by insiders.

More than a dozen big salt merchants stood outside the lobby of the salt transportation division, chatting and laughing, while waiting for the recognition to begin.

This time the atmosphere was not tense, everyone reached a tacit understanding in advance, and now there is only a group of harmony.

But when everyone saw that a tall and majestic figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, the harmonious atmosphere seemed to disappear quietly.

This is the Salt Transportation Division, and the industry affairs pay attention to a profession, and the salt merchants don't think that Lin Tailai, a layman, can accomplish anything.

But even if it's just looking at him here, it's disgusting.

Looking at Lin Tailai behind him, there is also a white and beautiful young woman, and I don't know what to do!

Could it be that Lin Tailai regarded this place as a garden for taking women to enjoy the scenery in spring? This is an insult to professionalism!

However, Zheng Zhiyan recognized that this little young woman was the wife of one of his subordinates, Wu Deng.

Lin Daguan also walked to the front of the lobby and said contemptuously: "I told you a long time ago, so that you don't waste your efforts, why don't you listen?" ”

The salt merchants still "dare to be angry but dare not speak", not because Lin Tailai has more entourage than everyone, nor because Lin Tailai can fight dozens of them at a time.

Lin Daguan was still saying, "What's wrong? Don't even dare to put a fart? ”

In this world, there is still no shortage of people who dare to speak up.

When others were silent because of cowardice, Wang Yuanwai, who was famous for his righteousness and courage to fight, stood up!

Although he has been forced to pay out 5,000 salt and a daughter, Wang Yuanwai still did not bow to evil.

"Lin Tailai! What are you doing here? Wang Yuanwai came out of the crowd and scolded Lin Daguan loudly: "According to the regulations, you don't meet the conditions for recognizing the nest at all, you have been rejected by the Yun Division, and you are not qualified to appear here today!" ”

Lin Daguan pointed to the beautiful young woman and replied, "It's not me who came to participate in the confession, but Wu Tian's family to participate."

She is fully compliant, and she has also found someone to vouch for, what's the problem? ”

Hearing this answer, all the salt merchants were stunned for a moment.

Lin Tailai's operation was completely unexpected by everyone.

If Lin Tai came to find a man as a cover, everyone could understand, but what does it mean to bring a woman over?

On behalf of everyone, Wang Yuanwai asked: "How can a woman be on the same level as me?" ”

Lin Daguan glanced into the lobby a few times, and explained casually:

"According to the rules mentioned by Fei Yun, there is no clause that only men and women are allowed, so why can't women participate?"

Wang Yuanwai shouted: "In our salt industry, only men can stand here and participate in the confession!"

And you Lin Tailai only dare to hide behind women, it's ridiculous! ”

Everyone silently praised Wang Yuanwai, and dared to directly attack Lin Tailai, there is a kind!

Lin Daguan sneered at each other: "Since you said that only men can stand here, then I have an idea."

Now kick your eggs to pieces, and you're not a man, and then you're not eligible to participate in the nest bidding, are you? ”

Everyone: "."

Do you Lin Tailai really want to do this, or is it just humiliation?

Wang Yuanwai was furious, seemed to have lost his mind, and shouted: "You have deceived people too much! It's true that our salt merchants can't make it in the mud! ”

Wang Yuanwai and Lin Daguan insulted and abused each other, and on the side of the courtyard wall a little farther away, Wang Yuanwai's entourage and Lin Daguan's entourage could not bear each other, and suddenly began to fight.

Then the brawl spread to the rest of the retinue, and it suddenly became a scuffle in which all the retinue participated.

In fact, there are only a few entourages brought into the atrium, and it is impossible for the Yanyun Division to let too many entourages in, and most of the entourages are on the side of the gate and the front yard.

But after the fight started on the atrium side, it immediately spread to the front yard, so there was movement from the front yard.

The brawl came very quickly, and when it was completely out of control, the atrium and the front yard battlefield were connected, and it developed into a big brawl of nearly 200 people.

When the fight rose, there were those who hid in the lobby due to lack of physical strength, but they were chased into the lobby and beaten, which made the lobby furnishings messy.

Of the more than 200 followers who participated in the brawl, more than 100 were brought by Lin Daguan.

Lin Daguan, who has always taken the lead, did not make a move today, but only stood on the side, shouting seriously: "Stop fighting!" Stop it! ”

It wasn't until the Salt Transport Division dispatched all the salt dices that the big brawl, which was gradually one-sided, subsided.

But at this time, the people who could still stand at the scene of the brawl were basically the "family members" of Lin Daguan's experienced battles.

At the same time, outside the gate of Yunsi, there were more than 100 new men speaking Suzhou accents. Maybe you are tired of walking, so you just stand outside the gate and rest still.

Fei Yunenvoy appeared in the atrium of the Yunsi, standing on the platform outside the lobby door, his face pale.

Today's incident is a laughing stock when it gets out!

Looking at Fei Yun's extremely difficult face, Lin Daguan, who was prescribed one routine after another, finally had a clear idea.

It's too tiring to play with your eyes, so it's easier to do it directly.

After the idea was reached, Lin Daguan treated people with much enthusiasm, and greeted him loudly:

"Messenger! According to the regulations, our entourage beats each other, what should we do?

I propose that we all be expelled and banned from participating in the pledge bid. ”

Fei Yun's envoy was choked and couldn't speak, so Zheng Zhiyan, who had a close relationship with Fei Yun's envoy, had to stand up and accuse:

"Even if this Wu Tian clan wants to participate in the bidding for the nest, what does it have to do with you Lin Tailai? What's your reason to be here? ”

Lin Daguan said contemptuously: "You Zheng Zhiyan simply knowingly asked, Wu Tian's family and your Zheng Zhiyan have a deep blood feud, how can you not have the heart to take precautions?"

So of course I was invited to escort the Wu Tian clan, to guard against wicked people like you, what's so strange about this? ”

Zheng Zhiyan said again: "Thousands of dignified households, willing to be cheap, it's a joke!" ”

Lin Daguan responded calmly: "In ancient times, Zhao Kuangyin sent Jingniang thousands of miles away, and it has always been rumored to be a beautiful talk. I, Lin Tailai, also do good deeds and accumulate virtues, what's wrong?

How can it be like you, Zheng Zhiyan, who has always been rich and unkind, only knows how to do evil, and there is no apology for destroying the Wu family. ”

Zheng Zhiyan: "."

It's just that you Lin Tailai don't do personnel, and you don't talk about people here!

When Zheng Zhiyan was speechless, Wang Yuanwai jumped out excitedly, "Lin Tailai!" I'm not done with you! ”

"Enough! Shut up! Fei Yunenvoy shouted angrily.

The salt merchants saw that the salt envoy was angry and stopped talking, but Lin Daguan turned a deaf ear to the word "shut up" and still shouted:

"Messenger! You just say that this Wu Tian clan meets the regulations! Our 200 righteous men who protect the weak women and children are still waiting to be spoken! ”

Fei Yunchen took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and waved his sleeves and ordered:

"Scattered today! Recognize the nest bidding time, wait for the notice! ”

I can't do anything today, so I can only wait for the heat to pass.

Lin Daguan spat out a fragrant sentence: "Stipulate an egg!" Then he turned around and left.

Zheng Zhiyan couldn't help but complain to Wang Yuanwai: "Brother Wang is too impulsive, why did he match Lin Tailai?"

After all, this is the home of the Salt Transportation Division, and everything has its own luck! We're not masters, and we can't stand up for the sake of people who don't like the eye!

Today's major event has been stirred up like this! ”

Wang Yuanwai muttered in his heart, his task today is to cooperate with Lin Tailai to create a mutual fight, and stir up the yellow nest bidding.

But he said indignantly: "Then Lin Tailai is so annoying, I don't want to bear it if I can't bear it!" ”

The good thing has not come to pass, Zheng Zhiyan sighed. If you follow the tacit understanding from top to bottom, you should have funded the nest today and won the 5,000 new nests!

Wang Yuanwai comforted and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a few days late." When today's matter fades, the Yun Division will definitely call me to bid for the nest.

As long as the bidding starts, it will be a fight for silver, and the chief official will help us, so Lin Tailai can only be helpless.

Could it be that Lin Tailai dared to take one or two hundred thugs again and forcibly lower the price to admit the nest? What's the difference between that and robbing the Salt Transportation Division? ”

Zheng Zhiyan nodded, the truth is indeed the truth, and he can only wait for a few more days.

In fact, Wang Yuanwai, who was arranged to do things, didn't understand, what is the point of Lin Tailai creating a farce like this today?

The bidding involving tens of thousands of silver income of the Salt Transportation Division cannot be canceled because of a farce.

Today's big fuss is at most a few days of jokes and a few days of delaying the procedure.

So, Lin Tailai's purpose is to stall for time? But delaying time won't change the situation.

The crowd dispersed, and the aftermath rippled.

Today's farce of the Salt Transportation Division has been spread in Yangzhou City for several days and has become the hottest topic in the city.

Some commentators on current affairs said that Lin Daguan did not kidnap the salt envoy, indicating that his ruling power had declined.

A few days later, when the topic of heat dropped slightly, the Salt Transportation Division hurriedly convened the salt merchants to recognize the nest, intending to finalize the ownership of the five thousand nests as soon as possible.

Still in the lobby of the Salt Transportation Division, more than a dozen salt merchants gathered here again.

Lin Daguan also lived up to expectations and protected Wu Tian's family.

Today, all the entourage was not allowed to enter the gate, and all stood outside the gate, guarded by hundreds of salters.

"Why do you dare to come?" Lin Daguan unscrupulously provoked the salt merchants, "Aren't you embarrassed and unwilling? ”

This time, no one responded to Lin Daguan, didn't even look at Lin Daguan, and refused all words and deeds that might cause disputes.

There should be no off-the-plate moves, and the silver will see the real chapter! I don't believe you, Lin Tailai has more money than a dozen of our top salt merchants!

Fei Yunchen sat behind the official case with an expressionless face, and the scribe read the relevant documents in a rambling manner.

After the scribe finished reading the document, Fei Yunenvoy didn't bother to speak, and said directly: "Five thousand leads, the reserve price is ten thousand taels of silver, let's start." ”

Mr. Sun, the leader of the Western merchants, said, "I will pay 11,000 taels." ”

Wang Yuanwai also made a gesture and said loudly: "Twelve thousand taels." ”

Then Zheng Zhiyan spoke: "I will give 14,000 taels." ”

What looks like an astronomical amount of silver to ordinary people is just a number on this occasion, and this is the financial power of the top salt merchants.

However, the other salt merchants gave Zheng Yuan a lot of money, so they didn't continue to shout prices, which was a tacit understanding in private.

But as long as Lin Daguan is present, if there is no accident, there will definitely be an accident.

"Fifteen thousand taels!" Lin Tailai shouted loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Lin Tailai hurriedly explained, "Wu Tian's family is a woman's family, and it is unseemly to shout publicly, so I spoke out on behalf of Wu Tian's family." ”

Zheng Yuanwai, who was bound to win, did not hesitate to increase the price, "Sixteen thousand taels!" ”

Lin Daguan didn't think twice and shouted: "Eighteen thousand taels!" ”

At this time, the rhythm of the shouting stalled slightly.

Zheng Yuanwai stared at Lin Daguan angrily, what are you shouting about a few poor and blind people, do you have 18,000 taels of silver?

Others secretly thought, could it be that this Lin Tailai is maliciously raising the price?

Zheng Yuanwai gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely: "Twenty thousand taels!" ”

At this price, it has doubled the reserve price, but Zheng Yuanwai still can't give up 5,000 new nests.

Lin Daguan was not entangled at all, and quickly followed: "Twenty-two thousand taels!" ”

Everyone looked at the Wu Tian clan beside Lin Daguan, after all, nominally, the real bidder was the Wu Tian clan.

But seeing that this beautiful little young woman's face was pale at the moment, and her whole body was trembling, obviously frightened.

Now the pressure came to Zheng Yuanwai's side again, but Zheng Yuanwai withstood the huge pressure and shouted: "Twenty-five thousand taels!" ”

As long as you can get 5,000 leads, you will not lose money after a few years of careful management!

In everyone's sight, Lin Daguan slowly raised three fingers and shouted with amazing momentum: "Thirty thousand taels!" ”

The lobby, which was quiet except for the shouting of prices, immediately seemed to be a fried pot, and everyone was in an uproar!

Everyone is one thought, you Lin Tailai is sick, you are seriously ill!

It's understandable that you maliciously raise the price, but what is the use of raising the price like this except for pit yourself?

I know you Lin Tailai wants to make trouble, but you don't make such trouble!

Could it be that the 30,000 taels of silver you shouted out were drawn on paper money!

Wang Yuanwai was speechless, you Lin Tailai tried his best to delay time, and the result was this?

Can I start thinking about how to be truly independent after getting rid of Lin Tailai?

Zheng Yuanwai, who had been bidding, suddenly disappeared in anger, and when he looked at Lin Tailai again, he felt like he was looking at a fool.

Shouting 30,000 for two days to compete for 5,000 leads, isn't it stupid?

Fei Yun, who had not been silent, shouted: "According to the regulations, if the bid cannot be cashed, it will be regarded as defrauding the salt transportation department of tax money!" Confiscate family property, and go to the court to sentence! ”

Wu Tian's mind was blank, because the nominal bidder was her!

Could it be that Lin Tailai maliciously disrupted the official duties of the Salt Transportation Division by deliberately sacrificing himself?

Anyway, she is just an insignificant little woman, and there is not much loss if she sacrifices.

Fei Yunenvoy suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his words, and hurriedly added: "The accomplice is regarded as an accomplice and will be punished together!" ”

Lin Daguan, who was standing in the center of the whirlpool, was extremely calm, and said lazily: "I didn't say that I couldn't honor it, do you all hope that I can't honor it?" ”

It seems that the "30,000 taels" he shouted just now is really a number.

Although it was too late, I couldn't help but catch up and continue to ask for a monthly pass!! Please support !!
