Yangzhou City is a very important, very special and irreplaceable city, otherwise Lin Daguan would not have worked so hard to lay out in Yangzhou, and three times and twice in person.

Originally, Lin Daguan planned that this time it would take two months to completely form his forces in Yangzhou.

At least it must reach the level of the Lin Group in Suzhou after the initial reorganization in June and July of the previous year.

Originally, the situation was very good, and he successfully snatched 5,000 leads, subdued the command of Yangzhou Weiwan, surrounded Shugang, and at the same time controlled the Salt Inspection Institute and the Salt Transportation Division, and it seemed that it was about to be completed.

Unexpectedly, the plan still couldn't catch up with the changes, and at the critical moment when it was only the last end, there was an accident like the first assistant's swing.

According to the officialdom rules of the Ming court, after the cabinet minister was impeached, he should resign, and when the situation is more serious, he must close the door to thank guests, which is a very common political behavior.

In many cases, closing the door at home means that the official position is unstable, and it is often a prelude to the dismissal, and of course, it may also be a consolation.

No matter how Lin Daguan tosses in the local area, he needs to be "legalized" through additional certification by the imperial court in the end.

Once the cabinet does not apply for the time, then who can help Lin Daguan complete this procedure?

So Lin Daguan really wants to question Shen Shoufu, can't your old man wait for himself to clean up the affairs of Yangzhou, and then put it up a few days later?

But living in this era is impossible, and it is impossible to achieve instant communication after 2,000 miles.

In fact, the fact that Shoufu Shen Shixing closed his door at his home in Beijing was originally not directly related to Yangzhou City, but it attracted a lot of attention in Yangzhou City.

Because there is a Lin Daguan who dares to act recklessly with the support of the first assistant, he is currently active in Yangzhou City.

If the standard villain character script is followed, the bully who has lost his umbrella should be liquidated.

For example, shouldn't the five thousand new nests eaten by Lin Daguan be spit out?

Therefore, many citizens have regained their attention to Lin Daguanren and are curious about what Lin Daguan will do.

But after the end of the literary conference, Lin Daguan did not appear in public again, and moved from the Lin Mansion in the city to Shuicicang outside the city, and then did not come out.

This kind of unwilling and very weak performance is too much like a bully who has lost his umbrella.

Now the other most painful figure is the commander of Yangzhou Weiwan. It's only been a few days since I followed Lin Tailai, why did the good guy suddenly go against the wind again?

Now he has the biggest question in his hand, how should he write the mutiny?

Now, under the appeasement of Wang Shizhen, a squire of the Nanjing Military Department, and a group of literary bigwigs, the mutiny has been "quelled".

Therefore, it was time to write a summary to the imperial court, and according to Lin Tailai's instructions, of course, the responsibility for the mutiny should be completely shifted to the Yanwu Yamen.

But yesterday, Master Qian, who was patrolling the salt Cai Yushi, came to visit and told him that he couldn't write like this.

Commander Wan mainly didn't understand, even Cai Yushi knew it, so he hurriedly sent his master over to win over himself, a key person.

But why didn't Lin Tailai move at all? Could it be that in Lin Tailai's eyes, he is not worth wooing?

If Lin Tailai doesn't win himself over, how can he sit on the ground and raise the price?

This feeling made Commander Wan a little unhappy, but he didn't want to ask Lin Tailai directly, so he found Lu Junbi, the big shopkeeper of Lin's salt industry, to inquire.

"What's going on now? What are the new arrangements for your Lin Sitting Pavilion? Commander Wan asked.

Lu Junbi replied: "He didn't say anything in the hall, and there were no new arrangements. ”

Commander Wan was a little unconvinced: "How can you do nothing?" ”

Lu Junbi said with certainty: "There really is no instruction, and I don't need to lie to you." ”

Commander Wan asked tentatively, "Then what should I do now?" How should we write about the mutiny now? ”

Lu Junbi still said: "I still haven't said anything about sitting in the hall." ”

Commander Wan took the opportunity to complain: "Isn't this too contemptuous for me? Yesterday, Cai Yushi's master had already found me to discuss how the mutiny should be characterized, but he didn't care about me when he sat in the museum. ”

Lu Junbi glanced at Commander Wan, and said, "I once heard something from Brother Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu.

When Lin Zaoguan first started, he opened a hall on Nanhao Street outside Suzhou, and there were more than a dozen guys under his hands, which was the earliest team.

At that time, the wealthy and powerful Huqiu Xu family wanted to send someone to smash the entrance of the hall, and more than a dozen guys under Lin Zaoguan were panicked.

Faced with this situation, Lin sat in the pavilion without attracting anyone, and just watched most of the guys leave.

In the end, only the Zhang brothers and the other four guys remained, and later known as the left and right protectors and the four King Kongs, all of them were backbone leaders. ”

Commander Wan said, "Are you persuading me to follow the example of those guys who stayed? ”

Lu Junbi snorted, "No, I'm not trying to persuade you anything, I'm just telling you about it."

The Zhang brothers once told me that when encountering headwinds, Lin Zaikan never tried to win over people, but would only look at everyone coldly.

Sometimes, Lin will even pretend to be a headwind scene, just to test the reaction of others.

So don't say that the museum doesn't pay attention to you, maybe the museum is quietly observing you. ”

Commander Wan suddenly felt a chill in his back, was this intimidating himself?

I heard Lu Junbi continue: "The Zhang brothers also said that most of those who wavered in their stance when the wind was headwinded did not end well. ”

Commander Wan asked, "Then about this mutiny, I still write according to the agreed content?"

But there is no one in the court, so the same recital may not be able to play the same role, right? ”

Lu Junbi said indifferently: "Whatever you want to write, I believe that according to the habit of sitting in the hall, there must be a backup hand in important matters."

In other words, even if you break the previous agreement, there will definitely be a way to make amends. ”

"That can't! Am I a traitor? Commander Wan quickly said.

After chatting with Lu Junbi about the same, Commander Wan got up and said goodbye.

But when he walked outside the door and got on the horse, Commander Wan suddenly reacted.

The words that Lu Junbi said to himself today must have been taught by Lin Tailai in advance! Just wait for yourself to come to the door and say!

But even if you see it, what can you do? Do you have the courage to bet that Lin Tailai doesn't have any backhand against him?

At this time, the usefulness of Lin Daguan's use of Yangzhou Shuicicang as a base was suddenly reflected.

Lin Daguan and related personnel all moved into the official building of Shuicicang, and the things of Lin's salt industry were also transferred to Shuicicang for storage.

And the water warehouse was guarded by the Suzhou guard army, which was completely under the orders of Lin Daguan, and ordinary outsiders could not enter at all.

Some people wanted to make some small moves, but found that there was nothing they could do, so they could only scold Lin Tailai for being like a shrunken turtle hiding in a turtle shell.

In fact, there was no movement in Lin Daguan's place, not because he was really a turtle with a shrunken head, but because he was no longer in Yangzhou.

After entering the water warehouse with great fanfare, he quietly boarded the boat from the back water gate and hurriedly returned to Suzhou.

Only Zhao Dawu, the general of the water department, is still under the banner of Lin Zi, pretending that Lin Daguan is still here.

This time back to Suzhou, Lin Daguan traveled day and night on the boat, and arrived in Suzhou City in just a few days.

Lin Daguan's appearance was too recognizable, so in order not to alarm people, he did not enter the city through the city gate.

just sent a guy to the city and called the troublesome Second Master Shen out to the residence of the Renewing Academy outside Xu Gate.

Without waiting for Lin Tailai to ask, Shen Yongjia took the initiative to tell what happened.

"I had planned to build a garden in Taohuawu, but there were many wealthy families living there. I asked my family member, Shen Bing, to go there to be responsible for acquiring the land and preparing the land.

At that time, there was a person who took the title deed and said that he would sell the house to our Shen Mansion, and after the transaction was completed, Shen Bing went to collect the house.

But I never thought that the owner of the house said that it was not sold, and that it was just a house slave who stole the title deed.

Later, under the dispute, Shin Byung beat someone to death. Later, the government arrested Shen Bing and sentenced our Shen family to bully others, forcibly seize the farmhouse, and kill people's lives.

The prefect of the dog also said that if the domestic slave violates the law, the master is also guilty, and I will be held accountable. ”

Lin Daguan didn't ask whether it was right or wrong, and whether it was really the Shen family who was deceived in the transaction, or whether he used means to rob other people's real estate, he listened first.

Second Master Shen continued: "Of course I wasn't convinced, so I made a big fuss in the government and brought Shen Bing back.

And then you probably know what happened.

In order to help our Shen family, Governor Li accused the Shi Governor of embezzling 5,000 taels, which aroused public outrage and caused a lot of trouble. ”

Now the governor of Jiangnan is no longer Zhao Zhigao, and the new governor Li Lai has taken office.

Lin Daguan still thinks this thing is very strange, not to repair the garden or to kill people, but to frame the prefect for embezzling 5,000 taels.

But first complain a few words and say: "I told you before I left, you must be careful when doing business recently."

I was really not sure, so I suspended the demolition and repair of the garden first, why didn't you listen to it? ”

Second Master Shen asked rhetorically, "Did you expect something to happen?" Deliberately waiting to see me laugh? ”

Of course, Lin Daguan couldn't admit it, "I said that the person who came here is not good, who is to blame for your refusal to listen?" ”

Second Master Shen sighed, who would have thought that the Shoufu family would repair a garden and cause these things.

And he just can't figure it out, just like that, even if he is impeached, will his father resign and stay at home?

His greatest spell is only one move, and that is to summon his father. As long as my father is still in the cabinet, he can always suppress big and small things.

Now that my father is not in the cabinet, and he is being targeted by the "iron-faced and selfless" prefect, he is a little blind.

Lin Daguan defended Shen Shoufu and said: "The situation in Beijing is unpredictable, and Shen Xiang may encounter something, so he can only protect himself by staying at home and closing the door." ”

Second Master Shen blinked, still unable to understand.

Leaving the cabinet center temporarily, isn't that handing over power to others, and how can you protect yourself?

In Shen Erye's cognition, even if he is impeached, he should occupy the cabinet position and not leave, and then think of a counterattack.

It's like him Shen Erye, no matter how sarcastic others are, he still has to occupy the position of the honorary leader of the renewal society.

In order to prevent Second Master Shen from continuing to stab Lou Zi, Lin Daguan had to explain a few more words:

"The Son of Heaven has the intention of establishing the third son of the emperor as the East Palace, what if it happens to be a whim recently and forces Prime Minister Shen to make a public statement for this?

If you reject the Son of Heaven, you may lose your grace; And if you promise the Son of Heaven, you will cut yourself off from the officials.

In case you really encounter such a dilemma, you can only find a random reason and stay at home. Compared to the Son of Heaven, what are the other things? ”

Shen Yongjia said suspiciously: "Is this the truth?" How do you know? ”

Lin Daguan replied: "The above is my pure speculation, but it can be used as an example to illustrate the complexity of the court issue.

Therefore, Shen Xiang is temporarily away from the cabinet, and he must have his considerations and concerns, and there is no need to complain about anything. ”

Second Master Shen can complain about his father, but Lin Daguan can't complain about Shen Shoufu.

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Lin Daguan said: "Second master, please go back to the house and sit down, I will solve the foreign affairs!" ”

Shen Yongjia hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't need you to solve the trouble for me when I called you back."

But because after this incident, rumors were flying all over the sky, and people were panicked for a while, and I was worried that the foundation of the renewal society was unstable, so I called you to come back and sit in town. ”

Lin Daguan thought in his heart that the foundation of Suzhou would probably not collapse without Shen Xiang, and he did not start by Shen Xiang at the root.

But he only asked: "The governor accused the prefect of corruption, causing a big turmoil, and the court is not good at listening to and believing, so it should always send someone to Suzhou to investigate, right?" ”

Second Master Shen said: "I received news that the imperial court sent a Fengxian official from Nanjing to Suzhou to investigate whether the prefect was corrupt, and it would be there in about a day or two." ”

Lin Daguan sneered: "You don't need to think about it to know, the investigation result must be that there is no corruption in the Shi Governor's Mansion, and Governor Li maliciously framed it, and it is suspected that it was instigated by Prime Minister Shen!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Daguan fell into deep thought again.

After a while, Second Master Shen asked curiously, "What is your difficulty?" ”

Lin Daguan came back to his senses and replied: "If I can't make up my mind, do things this time, do you want to lower the bottom line." ”

Second Master Shen almost blurted out, "Do you still have a bottom line?" ”

Lin Tailai continued: "First of all, I think that the matter between Governor Li and Governor Shi this time is an extremely bad thing.

The bad thing is not that they want to deal with Shen Xiang, but that their methods are too inferior.

First, they have different political views, and they do not solve problems based on political opinions, but only rectify people for the sake of rectifying them, and even do not hesitate to rely on fabrication to attack.

Second, running to someone else's hometown to get someone else's stupid son is a bit of a broken rule?

Third, they dare to use such a clumsy trick in Suzhou, do they take us for fools? Don't you look down on us too much?

This time, we will not kill a hundred people, and any cat or dog will dare to come to Suzhou to make trouble in the future!

So since they gave up the bottom line and dared to come to Suzhou to jump the beam, then I don't have to worry about the bottom line!

If necessary, it is not impossible for them to commit suicide with a rope! ”

Second Master Shen exclaimed: "No! ”

"Anyway, this matter can't be delayed, it must be thunderous and cut through the mess quickly!" Lin Daguan said murderously.
