Chapter VI Intermediaries

The thick-eyed guest led by Xiao Er was conclusive, so he asked the address of this "non-speakable" trading company and went directly to the door. Xiao Er naturally pointed out the direction happily, because he introduced this person to go, and there was extra consistent money in his pocket, plus the guest's previous consistent reward, which was enough for half a month's expenses.

This thick-eyebrow guest came to the "unspeakable" calligraphy and painting shop, see that this place is still very elegantly decorated, take a closer look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall is even more surprised, it stands to reason that these calligraphy and paintings are also mediocre, but the following payment is staggering.

Hanging in the middle hall turned out to be the masterpiece of Yang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, in addition, there are also Gu Tangqi of the Criminal Department, Zhao Hanlin, Hu Yushi and other official titles are all in a variety of ways, which is dizzying!

There are more than 100 calligraphy and paintings hanging in this shop, which can be said to be dazzling, and if there are people in Xiangdu who dare to take out the fake calligraphy and paintings of these people to deceive, they can't wait for dark at all, not to mention Xiangfan's officials, even those overbearing family members dare to go directly to the door and beat the owner to death, and then tattoo the face and go to the southern island to feed the fish. So there is almost no possibility of falsification!

The thick-eyebrow guests watched for a while, and suddenly saw a figure dressed as a housekeeper coming out of it, talking and laughing with a middle-aged fat man, and the housekeeper held a pair of calligraphy and paintings in his hand, thanked him again and again, and went with a smile.

The middle-aged fat man saw the thick-eyebrow guest at a glance, so he immediately beckoned him to sit in the warm pavilion next to him, and asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows hesitated for a moment and said:

"Under the surname Luo, I was entrusted to come to Beijing, but I encountered a troublesome thing, I heard that the owner of this place, Lin Zhang, has great powers, I don't know if there is a way to help me with this?"

The middle-aged fat man said with a smile:

"Below is the shopkeeper Lin, how can he be worthy of the title of the vast supernatural power, but the people on the official face are more familiar, and friends are willing to sell this face to help the foil. If Master Luo has any difficulties, you might as well say it and let me refer to it for a detailed time, and he will definitely keep the secret on his behalf. ”

Master Luo said:

"The proprietor below is the county magistrate of Juwen County. I've been in office for seven years, and I was suppressed by my boss and couldn't be promoted, and the proprietor asked me to come to Beijing to find his master, Lord Wang, who wanted to find some way, but I didn't expect that Lord Wang had already died a year ago, making me embarrassed."

After listening to Master Luo's words, Shopkeeper Lin muttered:

"Does your owner want to be promoted, or is it a change in fat?"

Master Luo heard that there was a way, and immediately said:

"You can do both. ”

Shopkeeper Lin shouted to the people inside:

"This matter should be on the Ministry of Officials, see which Lord of the Ministry has not opened this month?"

Soon someone reported the information, and Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said:

"It's really a coincidence, I have a younger brother who has a way to be in the Ministry of Jiaolang. But as the saying goes, Hades is good, but it's hard to be a ghost, even if it's a brother here, you can't be busy in vain. At present, there are two methods, the first way is to pay a referral fee of fifty taels of silver, I will include Jiao Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, Master, and then you will talk slowly, as for the extent of talking. Whether the matter collapsed or went badly is not a matter of brothers at all. ”

This Master Luo thought about it, his daily expenses in Xiangfan cost five or six taels of silver, and the fifty taels of silver reported by the shopkeeper Lin was really not expensive. But he couldn't help but ask:

"What's the other way?"

Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile:

"That is, this matter is on us, and after it is done, the officials can give the money after the order, but the price will definitely be hehe, and we will also investigate. If your owner makes people angry and the people's grievances are boiling, then we will not do it. ”

Master Luo thought about it. After the end, I chose the path of "referral".

Next, this Master Luo gave fifty taels of silver, and sure enough, he saw this Jiao Langzhong, and as soon as he talked about his own affairs, Jiao Langzhong said a few official words on the spot, saying that whether he was promoted or transferred, he was within the scope of his official authority, and he would definitely be punished impartially, and then stood up and left, leaving the housekeeper in the house to negotiate with this Master Luo slowly, and the final negotiation was 1,300 taels, but Master Luo's silver money was in hand, so he immediately took out the silver ticket to pay.

However, at this time, the housekeeper refused to accept the money, and told Master Luo that their master had always been very poor, and he painted a peak work three years ago, but he was forced to pawn it to the side of Buyanli because of lack of food and clothing, and he still sighs every time he says it.

This Master Luo was very stunned, and when he saw that he didn't want to give money, he asked a few more words, and the housekeeper took these few words over and over again, after all, he didn't leave my family's old work, pawn, and a few key words. This Master Luo was very dazed, thinking that this Jiao Langzhong is not a famous Confucian all over the world, how much money can a pair of calligraphy and paintings be sold for? What is the blame here?

So Master Luo asked the pawn date of the calligraphy and painting, and what was written, so he went out of this Jiaofu and rushed to "Buyanli" again, planning to redeem this calligraphy and painting with dozens of taels, and then send it into Jiaofu with the silver ticket, you should be satisfied.

As a result, after Master Luo went to "Don't Say Anything" and asked about the calligraphy and painting, he suddenly realized! It turned out that the pawn price of the calligraphy and painting to be redeemed was actually a full 1,500 taels!

At this time, the shopkeeper Lin didn't come forward, but just sent a smiling guy to greet and wait, serve tea and water snacks, no matter how you lose your temper and say good things, it is a smile and a price of 1,500 taels. If you stand up and make a gesture to leave, people will immediately send people out of the house with very eager curtains, and let you go out with a smile, so that you can't get angry!

Master Luo has the heart to change his family, but if he wants to have a way, why should he delay here for so long? More importantly, he is willing to spend 1,300 taels of silver, and the extra 200 silver is definitely not an unaffordable expense. When you reach the end, you can't just obediently obey!

Needless to say, Master Luo's Shangguan had come true, and he would get an additional two hundred taels of silver intermediary fee without saying anything, and Jiao Langzhong would naturally accept the 1,300 taels sent by Wu Yanli! If you get it like this, Jiao Langzhong will not be able to get any money, but the main body of the transaction between the two sides is "calligraphy and painting", and he will not be able to get his flaws if he breaks the sky!

In the past two months, I don't know how many similar stories have been staged in this "unspeakable".

Needless to say, the boss behind the self-explanatory benefits is Lin Fengjin. That Lin shopkeeper is a clan uncle he invited from his family, but a prisoner, who assisted two magistrates outside, when Lin Feng invited him, the family was so poor that it was tinkling, and now in just two months, it is said that the purchase of a house and land has been made.

When Lin Fengjin came out of the Tian Mansion that day, he still had 18,000 taels of silver on his body from selling goods and profits, so he asked Li Hu, took General Tian's greeting post, and walked around the current Tian officials in the name of giving gifts.

As soon as he came to have General Tian's greetings, this was "potential", and secondly, he had a rich New Year's gift to open the way, and those officials either looked at the face of the money or the face of the Tian family, and nine times out of ten they were still willing to see him, and then Lin Fengjin took advantage of the situation to ask for calligraphy and painting! Without calligraphy and painting to win the trust of others, then "no profit" would inevitably have no business.

At this time, it is still a very elegant thing for someone to come to ask for calligraphy and painting, just like the current finding someone to sign is a reason, which is almost like a sycophant, so Lin Fengjin did not spend any thought, so he collected almost all the calligraphy and paintings of "Tian Party" officials.

The next thing is to buy the nearby idlers, the restaurant shop Xiaoer, etc., these people are the most well-informed, outsiders must ask them about something, because the "Tian Party" covers many aspects of the imperial court, so the business scope is also very wide, so soon someone came to the door.

Lin Fengjin asked this person's requirements clearly at this time, and then prepared a gift and went to the relevant "Tian Party" officials to find out, these people are not incorruptible, otherwise they would not be dragged into the water by the Tian family, so that the things that make money are naturally a hit.

Now that the business of "self-interest" is on the right track, the officials like to toss it in this way, because of safety! From head to toe, this official has only received a pair of calligraphy and paintings from the customer, and it is also his own calligraphy and painting.

Moreover, when "not speaking for profit" to accept the transaction, he is also very cautious, and Lin Fengjin has set the rule of three nos: do not accept those who poison the people, do not accept those whose lives are at stake, and do not accept those who are too risky. Most of the officials who were asked to come to the door had to do things that went down the river, and they were rarely asked to break the law.

Therefore, even if someone with a heart secretly snoops on him, if he wants to get hold of the evidence, he can only go to the "Buyanli" and get the account book inside! However, what is the place of Buyanli now?

Therefore, there are now more than 100 officials who have business dealings with Bu Yanli! If you want to move this place, it is equivalent to picking up the soap of more than 100 people at the same time! Therefore, can this kind of thing be kept secret? Can this group of people sit still and wait for death? How much resistance will there be? What is even more terrifying is that once it does not succeed, and then it is attacked by these more than 100 officials, there are really very few people in the Southern Han court who can afford it! (To be continued......
