Chapter 431: Putting the bait

Lin Yutang's abacus was very good at making a good plan. The magistrate of Jining tactfully put the people in the prison cell. He sent someone to silence him. At that time, it would be a matter of death without evidence. He had all the witnesses, as well as a number of guaranteed gentry, and the salt transport envoy's comments.

This false accusation can be easily washed away, but the person just ran away, or disappeared without a trace, and things suddenly became strange.

Lin Yutang became a little suspicious. The messenger from Shandong's salt transportation envoy left. The messenger was a minor official in the salt transportation yamen. He was always polite when he saw Lin Yutang, but today he looked like he was doing his job and brought the message from the salt transportation envoy.

The words were very high-sounding. It was said that it was a business of official salt. You must follow the king's laws and do not break the rules. You also understand that doing this is a matter of killing people to silence people. This is a matter of not following the rules of the game. The situation of the Salt Industry Conference that has finally been maintained is about to collapse.

Shandong Salt Transportation Envoy was at most fifth place in the salt affairs offices of various places in the Ming Dynasty. Lianghuai was known as the number one in the world. However, Jiang Feng's ups and downs in Shandong brought Shandong's salt affairs to the center of gravity of the country in disguise. Zuo Salt Transportation Envoy naturally did not want to be ruined like this.

However, Lin Yutang, who was in a state of suspicion, felt that the people around him were deviating from him or abandoning him. He even wondered if it was because Tang Xuan was not sent to the mansion of the salt transport envoy, that he would be polite to him and treated him with friends.

Once a person reaches this state, his usual calmness and calmness will disappear completely. Lin Yutang is just a lucky person who was promoted from the Lin family to the presidency of the salt association. Most of his success is based on Huazhou's strong strength and style, and his almost omnipresent relationship in Shandong. Of course, the foundation laid in the past is the most important reason. However, Huazhou headquarters and the Lin family have been away from the Ming Dynasty for many years, and the monitoring of Lin Yutang is extremely relaxed. In order to avoid interference between each other, Sima employed people in Huazhou can harbor Huazhou's industries in the Ming Dynasty, such as Sanjiang Trading Company, but the identity they use can only be the so-called so-called acquaintances introduced to the past work.

These people cannot interfere in the business as Sima is engaged in. In terms of business, only Zhao Xiucai, the chief clerk of the prefect, can evaluate it. This is also a means to avoid outsiders interfering in the business of the insiders. However, because the chief clerk is far away in North Korea, the assessment indicator is basically how much silver is paid every year. However, the Jiang family's business is very large. As long as the transactions in the Ming Dynasty are basically extremely profitable, they are expanding every year, so it is very easy to complete this indicator. The next things cannot be monitored at all, and there are too many opportunities to get started.

Lin Yutang is such a person. He thought that the business that was extremely successful because of the power behind him was his own method. Lin Yutang saw a large sum of money coming in and out of his hands every day. In his heart, these money were earned by me, Lin Yutang, and why did they all hand it to the head of the Lin family? As time goes by, he had a strange intention and wanted to poach the corners.

He never thought that if he had worked alone there, who would have given him such a great deal of face to the Green Forest Road in Shandong, the salt merchants and salt owls in various provinces, and the salt transportation officials, would have given him such a great deal of face.

Tang Xuan has been in Sanjiang Trading Company these days and has been extremely frustrated. It turned out that she was a maid serving Jiang Feng, but she was worshipped by Sanjiang Trading Company.

It is not that I have never enjoyed the treatment of an official lady. The so-called Yangzhou thin horse was cultivated not as a slave or a villain, but as a young lady. Especially Tang Xuan, who was extremely outstanding, has never been angry.

When Lin Yutang redeemed her from Yangzhou, she spent 3,000 taels of silver. This was really a sky-high price. An outstanding girl like Tang Xuan was naturally very unwilling to serve the Zuo Yan Transportation Commissioner. Moreover, the Zuo Yan Transportation Commissioner had a very poor reputation in Jining City, especially some evil hobbies. Thinking about what would happen if he fell into the hands of the Salt Transportation Commissioner Zuo Bargu, Tang Xuan was shuddered.

But a weak woman was kept in the Lin Mansion and could not have any chance to escape. Until a few days ago, Lin Yutang suddenly found her.

Originally, I had to give it to the salt transporter after I bought it, so even Lin Yutang had to avoid suspicion and could not meet the girl too much. However, Lin Yutang still met Tang Xuan. After the meeting, what the girl expected was that Lin Yutang told him about the conditions, saying that if they could find out from Jiang Feng's mouth, they would give Tang Xuan a freedom and give money to help her go home to meet her biological parents.

Even Tang Xuan was smart and was blinded by this promise. She was a girl who grew up in a brothel and had no impression of her parents. She still didn't know whether she was an orphan or bought by her parents. As she was old, her desire to see her parents became stronger and stronger. This desire for family affection and fear of the salt transportation mansion made Tang Xuan accept the commission without hesitation.

To be honest, Tang Xuan has a bad impression of Jiang Feng. In the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the lady of the official family or the daughter of ordinary people, she always thinks that her man is a gentle and elegant scholar. When she meets, she pinched her voice and said, "What's the little student?" is the dream lover of these girls. Tang Xuan, who grew up in a romantic place, is even more unavoidable. Her cultural level is very good, and she naturally sees a lot of books.

Of course, what moved Tang Xuan the most were the wonderful dream plots of the courtesan and the top scholar falling in love with each other, falling out of the fire pit, and then flying to the branch to turn into a phoenix.

Although Jiang Feng is calm, he always reveals some inadvertent aura. For some reason, he always reminds Tang Xuan that when he was in Yangzhou, not everyone had the thugs guarding the outside world and the Lin Mansion’s guards. A few of these thugs had this feeling.

Tang Xuan didn't know what such an aura was, but she always disliked and feared such a feeling. If people who have experienced the vicissitudes of the world would clearly judge such a breath. This is a bloody and murderous aura, and warriors will have such an aura.

What made Tang Xuan even more uncomfortable was the look of Jiang Feng looking at him. From the initial surprise and the attitude behind him, Tang Xuan could feel that Jiang Feng had no feelings about her beauty and charm, but she always felt that when she was watched by Jiang Feng, she seemed to be an inanimate object.

She was taken to the yard of Sanjiang Trading Company for three or four days, but she had no chance to contact people outside. Tang Xuan was getting more and more anxious inside the house, fearing that her message would be delayed, which would affect Lin Yutang's promise to her. However, Tang Xuan also knew that there was no secret worth reporting.

Suddenly, Tang Xuan, who was bored in the room, heard the woman outside say:

"Miss, please come over, Miss," said Jiangdong's family.

After hearing this, Tang Xuan almost jumped up excitedly. A little girl under the age of sixteen, no matter how scheming she is, she is just a half-year-old child.

After packing up and dressing up, Tang Xuan followed the woman out. Tang Xuan felt that the Sanjiang Trading Company had a lot of rules. When she saw her walking on the road, the men kept their heads down to the point where they were shining. In the Lin Mansion, when she was walking on the road, there were often bold servants sneaking around.

Suddenly, Tang Xuan had an idea that it might be a good choice to join Jiang Feng now, but she immediately denied it. How could a shop owner compare with a big salt merchant like Lin Yutang, let alone the other party and the officials' backstage.

When they walked into the yard where Jiang Feng lived, the women reported loudly and waited by the door and stopped moving forward. Tang Xuan walked in by herself. When she was about to reach the door, she heard a few people inside saying in loud voices:

"The old man from the Lin family asked me to come and check the accounts. I, Jiang Huifeng, must have done it wholeheartedly. The problem has been found out, and I am waiting to repay him!"

Hearing this, Tang Xuan was shocked and couldn't help but move for a few times, making some noises. The room suddenly became quiet, and someone shouted loudly:

"Who, who is outside."

Tang Xuan took a secret breath and replied calmly:

"Sister Tang Xuan, the mothers said it was the master who summoned me..."

"Oh, I'll hold you a little girl in the yard these days. You must be very frustrated. I'll arrange a few servants to accompany you on the street."

When he heard this sentence, Tang Xuan just wanted to refute the sentence "I'm not a child anymore", but then he was surrounded by ecstasy. He received the key news and could be released from Sanjiang Trading Company again. Could it be that he could complete the task assigned by Lin Yutang?

Holding back on his emotions, Tang Xuan thanked him very carefully outside:

"Thank you for your concern. I'm going back to your room and preparing."

The spy arranged by the Lin family around Sanjiang Trading Company, just seeing the managers from all over the Sanjiang Trading Company coming in and out these days, Tang Xuan did not come out. She was so anxious that she seemed to be an ant on a hot pan. While she was wondering if she was climbing over the wall and suddenly saw Tang Xuan coming out of the Trading Company, and someone was preparing a carriage there.
