Chapter 430 Losing the measure

Lin Yutang's panic when he heard this news was much calmed down. He also knew that since the news could come here so quickly, it means the attitude of the government. He has been operating here for so long and has enough money to spend, and he has enough relationships to rely on.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice:

"Xiao Liu, did you arrange this matter?"

When Lin Liu heard his master ask this, he suddenly burst into tears and said:

"Master, even if you give me great courage, I don't dare to do such a big thing without authorization!"

"Lin Liu, go to the counter to bring two thousand taels of silver, go to the yamen to make some things, keep your mouth shut and don't let the boss Jiang of Sanjiang Trading Company know. Hurry up and prepare a carriage for me, and I'll go to see the salt transport commander!"

When his housekeeper heard this, he quickly agreed and hurriedly went out to work hard. Lin Yutang sat alone in the house. The servants and maids in the distance watched their master's rage. The one who dared to come over and find it uncomfortable. Lin Yutang stayed for a while, picked up the teacup in his hand and fell heavily on the ground. It was immediately shattered. He sat on the chair, panting and whispered:

"Who made it? I wanted to sell these turtle grandsons from Lianghuai. It's so fucking..."

After being bored for a long time, Lin Yutang shouted to the outside:

"Please invite the new hostel Master Liu to the flower hall. I will come back to see him in the evening."

After the so-called young man who ran out came out, several very impatient yamen runners went out to receive the reception. When they heard that they were going to sue Lin Yutang, the largest salt merchant in the local area, each of whom was pale and half-spoken, he brought the young man who complained to the court. The officials who tried the case were local magistrates. Unfortunately, this seventh-rank official also had river channels and salt transport envoys above the third rank, so what power was there to manage the matter?

When I heard the complaint of the blood-covered young man below, I was so scared that I couldn't speak, but there was no reason for the public to take it out. I could only use the reason why this matter is so serious that I cannot easily judge. I first detained the young man in a cell, and then asked for instructions one by one.

All levels of Jining were fed by salt merchants with money. With such big news, someone immediately ran out to deliver a letter to Lin Yutang.

The Lin family's reaction was also very fast. Soon, a lot of silver was spilled down. The movement of the upper and lower parts was actually suppressed by the news after the clerk complained for an hour. It was said that the evidence was insufficient and the trial was to be retried the next day. Many "witnesses" stood up to testify, saying that Boss Lin had been busy with the salt club for the past few months and had never contacted any people who were not incompatible.

What made Lin Yutang relieved was that Jiang Huifeng, who came from Sanjiang Trading Company, finally moved out of the Lin Mansion and moved into the residence arranged by Sanjiang Trading Company. It is said that he would stay here for another half a month, and then leave. Lin Yutang did not go to Jiang Feng to ask Tang Xuan to go back to Tang Xuan. Now he wants to cover up this matter.

After Jiang Feng lived in Sanjiang Trading Company, the guards below were not the original fifteen, but seven were said to have returned to Liaoyang, at least that's what they said to the outside world.

There are fewer people around him. Tang Xuan took the initiative to take over the matter of serving Jiang Feng’s food and clothing. Although it is amazing, she does everything well in serving people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even cooking skills. According to Jiang Feng, such a girl can be called perfect, and I really don’t know how to cultivate it.

However, Tang Xuan looked like she was liberated from the cage every day, and she looked lively and happy every day. She often pestered Jiang Feng and asked endlessly. What was funny is that she always asked what Jiang Feng was doing here inadvertently. Such a prudent mind naturally could not hide it from Jiang Feng. Of course, she said that she came from the general account of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, checked the semicolons in various places, and saw how the business and transactions were.

However, no one would believe this sentence. Tang Xuan was still asking questions. No matter what, such a cute and beautiful woman pestered you to ask questions is always a pleasing thing. Jiang Feng was not tired of it. He answered questions and answered questions there. At the same time, he also asked Tang Xuan about his family background.

Tang Xuan always said that she was from Yangzhou and was sold into the opera troupe by her parents since she was a child. She has always grown up in the opera troupe. She doesn't know anything else, but she is still very strict in her tone.

After entering Sanjiang Trading Company, Jiang Feng arranged Tang Xuan to live in the adjacent yard. Sanjiang Trading Company knew Jiang Feng's true identity, but the identity of the head of the general company had to be carefully served. Seeing Tang Xuan, the girl, he thought she was the concubine of the boss.

I didn't dare to make too much speculation, but instead sent two mothers to serve them carefully.

Jiang Feng also seems much more pure, and no one is disturbing there. Sanjiang Trading Company is not a big business in Jining like Liaoyang or the capital. It is related to vendors in Jining in Silibaxiang. This is why Jiang Feng has been operating in Shandong for many years and has mixed forces.

All regions must have an interconnected channel, and merchants must travel around in and out of the transaction, and it is also open and upright to lead the way to the yamen.

Recently, it may have just passed the New Year, and stores in various places need to be purchased. There are more people coming in and out of Sanjiang Trading Bank. Everyone knows that shopkeepers and managers of small shops in the Shandong Branch of Sanjiang Trading Bank are gathering in the inner hall to talk about business matters.

In fact, there was indeed a hall in the inner courtyard where the shopkeepers and the managers were chatting and drinking tea. However, when they talked with the shopkeepers of Jining Branch, they all went to a small room in the back hall and met and talked separately. In fact, the Sima people in the Ming Dynasty were mainly managers and clerks of the business.

In the small room, there is a space for three people. The shopkeeper of Sanjiang Business is sitting in the middle, and the manager or the friend who comes in sits opposite him.

However, today's situation is quite special. Although the house is small, it still has a screen inappropriately, and the house becomes much more cramped. But no one cares about such trivial matters. Even if you stand, it will be the same. The person who came was a shopkeeper selling goods in Zoucheng, his face was full of wind and frost. He looked like the most ordinary peddler. After coming in, he bowed respectfully to the shopkeeper, and was quite humble.

"Brothers have already caught up with those people in Dongchang Mansion. They have already figured out that they are just part of Lin Yutang's purchase. Lin Yutang's shop is located in Yuyang, and it is opened in the name of his wife's brother-in-law. Now, there are basically salt produced in the 30 counties in southern Shandong."

The shopkeeper sitting in the head nodded, picked up the hard pen in his hand and wrote a few strokes on the account book of the coffee table, raised his head and said:

"You go and call the Tengzhou manager in. When you leave, you go to the counter to collect your expenses this year. There are 300 taels more, which is considered a reward this time."

Hearing this, the guy quickly stood up and thanked him:

"Thank you, the shopkeeper, I must be loyal to you."

The guy covered the door after going out, and then made a sound behind the screen and said:

"If Lin Yutang collapses, what will happen to the salt industry in Beiqi Province?"

It was Jiang Feng's voice. Sanjiang Trading Company had two big semicolons in Shandong. One was mainly surveillance in Jining, and the other was on Linjia Island in Laizhou. The shopkeeper of Sanjiang Trading Company was quite clear about the salt industry. After a little pondering, he replied there:

"In the past three or four years, Lianghuai and Tianjin have gradually found the way we used to manage. They have gradually developed a system. If it weren't for the suppression of Green Forest Road and the Salt Transportation Envoy, they would have fallen apart long ago. After Lin Yutang distributed the participants who originally belonged to Huazhou to Shanxi on the surface last year, he could no longer maintain this scene. There are more and more salt in various places, and the authority of the Salt Association is almost gone. If it were the past, there would be no merchants elsewhere roaring at Lin Yutang at the conference!"

The door was pushed open, and the manager from Tengzhou walked in. The manager looked quite talented on the outside. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed and said:

"I confirmed it again at He. Apart from the servant who was scheduled to sue, there was no more survivor!"

Jiang Feng didn't hear these words. He sat behind the screen and suddenly recalled many things from that year. Lin Yutang said bluntly that he was a shopkeeper of his foreign business in Huazhou. Although he had a lot of money in and out every year, Lin Yutang himself could not make much money. He was jealous and even designed to embezzle him. After all, he was not his own direct line, but just a remote branch of the Lin family.

I vaguely remember that in modern times, I always saw things like Bo on newspapers and TV, and what layer of acquisitions, etc. Although I couldn't figure it out, it was vaguely similar to Lin Yutang's method of selling Huazhou's salt industry to his own store.

Jiang Feng, who was sitting there, stroked the scabbard and grinned silently:

"Do you think a certain knife is not good?"

In the prison in Jining, several men in yamen runners' uniforms followed the prisoners silently. The prisoners in the cell next to them looked at the men who were quite handsome, and they obviously had never appeared before.

"Put this bag of medicine in water."

A man took out a small paper bag and handed it to the jailer in front. The jailer hesitated for a moment, looked at the other party's gloomy eyes, and reached out to take it. He turned around and walked deeper. Soon, the jailer stumbled back, with an expression of disbelief on his face:
