Every question from Lin Yanchao was as if he was hitting Wang Mosong's heart.

Thinking of his alleged official career, he sighed a long time now. Since he felt guilty, he was more shocked that the other party was so clear about his past, as if he had nothing to hide in front of him.

Mr. Ma, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, said: "Old parents are here, and this person is pretending to be a ghost. Why bother to pay attention? Just get arrested first."

After hearing what Mr. Ma said, Li Mosong felt deeply that the other party was so invisible, but when he was in office, he collected a lot of money from the Ma family, so it was hard to say that Mr. Ma was the one who changed to others, he would have scolded him long ago.

Wang Mosong calmed down and immediately asked Lin Yanchao: "I am indeed sponsored by Lord Guo. I dare to ask if I am familiar with Lord Guo?"

"I am really familiar with each other, but I am still a regular visitor." Lin Yanchao did not deny it.

Wang Mosong showed a relieved expression and immediately said, "Mr. Guo is a wise minister in the court and a former student of the Linbu Hall of the Ministry of Rites. It is not an ordinary person to be able to communicate with him at his feet."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I am not an official or a businessman. If you don't believe it, you just think I am a master."

"Teacher?" Wang Mosong frowned.

Dushi was a person who was virtuous in ancient times but was unwilling to be an official. However, over time, many people used Dushi to gild their faces, and even merchants called themselves this way.

Therefore, those who have fame and fortune disdain to call themselves Masters.

Mr. Ma sneered: "I believe that some of my parents often call themselves ministers, but they often deal with gentry. They should be on the rivers and lakes and live in the temple, fly to camp bells and cauldrons, and want to take a shortcut in Zhongnan."

"These people are either raising guests or invited teachers. They rely on seeing some world and hearing some official news. They go out and cheat everywhere, so they have ten cents of money to shake their clothes and make a sound. They will talk to others about their noble relatives."

When Mr. Ma said that, his entourage laughed, as if Lin Yanchao raised Guo Zhengyu, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, to put gold on his face.

Wang Mosong heard Mr. Ma’s words and shook his head. Yes, there were people like Mr. Ma in the officialdom, but he was trying to figure out the other party’s background in his officialdom, so he still had some perspectives on people.

Mr. Ma said unyieldingly: "Old parents, this person hides his head and tail. If he has no fame and fortune, he will not bow to the official position and will be punished first. Even if he has fame and fortune, he will not be from Yangzhou. He needs to have a study tour guide issued by the school, otherwise he will leave his home without authorization."

How could Wang Mosong be a gun envoy? Finally, he couldn't help saying: "Mr. Ma, this is the county government, and I have my own opinions."

Lin Yanchao kept not talking, but the other party repeatedly provoked and his eyes couldn't help but swept on Mr. Ma.

"However you look at it, can you check my bottom?" Mr. Ma laughed and his sleeves shook.

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "I do know a little about the details of the Ma family in Tongzhou, but the former chief assistant, Zhang Wenyi, and former cabinet minister, Ma Wenzhuang, still have to give face, so I won't tell you about it for the time being."

Mr. Ma's face changed. Ma Ziqiang, a former cabinet minister, came from Tongzhou, Shaanxi and was a great businessman in Shaanxi.

After Ma Ziqiang entered the court as an official, his son Ma Qing took Zhang Siwei's daughter, and his brother Ma Zixiu specialized in business. His father, President Ma, the Salt Merchants Association, was Ma Zixiu's third son.

Ma Gongzi said immediately with his face: "Since I know the background of my Ma family, why dare to be arrogant?"

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "You are really notorious. When Duke Zhuang of Ma Wen was in court, he participated in the maintenance service and was highly respected. The emperor also gave the words "Pretending the Lord and leading the subordinates". How could a wise minister like Duke Zhuang of Ma Wen have such an unworthy junior?"

Mr. Ma was shocked at this moment. The four words "Zheng Ji and Ruo" were given by the emperor when Ma Ziqiang was appointed Minister of Rites. They are still hanging high on the main hall of his old house in Tongzhou. How could this person know so clearly?

"How do you know about this? You know that you are the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one

Lin Yanchao said lightly: "Duke Wenzhuang died of illness in the sixth year of Wanli. I was still studying at that time and I had no chance to see him."

I was still studying at that time? Now?

Mr. Ma's forehead was covered with cold sweat and said, "According to what you said, have you met Mr. Zhang Wenyi?"

Speaking of Zhang Siwei, Lin Yanchao has not only seen him, but also has a lot of fighting.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Mr. Ma, but saw that the other party's body was trembling slightly, and immediately shook his head and said, "You don't believe it, it's better not to mention it."

When Mr. Ma saw Lin Yanchao's appearance, he felt creepy. Only then did he realize that he was wrong. He was really wrong.

"I was really offended before the time being. Please forgive me. Today's matter will be written off."

Everyone was relieved, but Lin Yanchao asked back: "Is that true? Let's just forget it?"

Mr. Ma thought to himself that he would not be beaten in vain by you?

Mr. Ma immediately said, "I know I am wrong. Can you give Mr. Wen Yi's eldest son a face if you are not satisfied?"

"oh?"

"The eldest son is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He will come to our mansion tomorrow. He is very caring to his servants. For his sake, he begs me to give me a chance to come to apologize."

Lin Yanchao knew in his heart that he was talking about Zhang Siwei's eldest son Zhang Taizheng. Zhang Taizheng was the same year as him. Since this is the case, he would not make things difficult for this person.

Lin Yanchao said: "Okay, this is all right, but there is no need to apologize from the door."

Mr. Ma suddenly showed a disappointed look. Isn’t even Zhang Taizheng’s face useful? This person is now the Ma family’s thigh.

Lin Yanchao said to Zhang Mosong: "Since Mr. Ma withdraws the lawsuit, I wonder if I can leave."

Li Mosong dared not stop him and said immediately: "Of course you can leave at any time. Please let me give you one."

After seeing this scene, the people in the county government were unbelievable. What was Lin Yanchao's origin that he could actually be sent to the magistrate.

But seeing that Lin Yanchao was not at all wrong, he left the county government with his family.

When he arrived at the county government gate, Li Mosong looked nervous. Lin Yanchao turned around and looked at the other party and said, "At the time of parting, I will give you a poem 'When it is black, there are bones, and when it is very red, it turns into gray'."

Li Mosong heard this and said with shame: "What does this mean?"

Lin Yanchao said: "This poem is about black charcoal. It still has some backbone before it enters the stove, but it turns into ashes when it burns red. The same is true for being an official. The longer you can't be an official, the less backbone you loses when you are the one you were in."

Li Mosong trembled all over his body when he heard this. Lin Yanchao's words really made him feel ashamed deep in his heart, and all the things about Ren Guan passed through him.

Li Mosong immediately bowed to Lin Yanchao, and the face of Mr. Ma who was following behind him was even more ugly.

Lin Yanchao nodded. It was already dark at this moment. Li Mosong immediately ordered someone to escort Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao did not refuse, and directly asked them to take them to the Meijia Villa where he was staying, and asked them to go back to the place.

At this moment, Lin Yanchao had just arrived in the Mei family courtyard, and the eldest son Mei and Mei Kan were already hurriedly greeting him.

Mei Kan hurriedly said, "Mr. Master Budo, we haven't been back for so long, but we have worried about it."

Master Mei said, "Yes, we sent people everywhere in Yangzhou City to inquire about the news. Fortunately, the master of the ministry came back first."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just going to the county government office."

Both young masters Mei showed surprise, and immediately went to the flower hall to have tea. Lin Yanchao briefly said the matter.

Mei Kan heard this and said, "It turns out that he is the son of President Ma. This person is used to being accustomed to being accustomed to the public. He is not as good as his father when doing business."

Master Mei smiled and said, "Of course, the Ma family is not as good as before, but Lianghuai Salt Industry can still get a share of the pie."

Speaking of this, Master Mei talked about the past and present: "When today, the Ma family in Tongzhou operates the Lianghuai Salt Industry, Puzhou Xiangyi Gong runs the Changlu Salt Industry, and the former chief assistant Zhang Wenyi Gong runs the Changlu Salt Industry, so most of the salt matters cannot be separated from these companies."

Mei Kan immediately said, "Brother, is this Xiangyi Duke of Puzhou the former Minister of War Wang Chonggu?"

Grand Master Mei nodded and said, "That's right, Wang Chonggu is the uncle of Zhang Siwei of Yuanfu, Wang Chongyi, Wang Chongyi, Wang Wenxian, the elder brother of Wang Chonggu, are all Changlu salt merchants, brother-in-law Shen Tingzhen and nephew Shen Jiang are salt merchants in Lianghuai, Zhang Sijiao, the younger brother-in-law Zhang Sijiao is a salt merchant in Hedong. For example, the second son Zhang Taizheng and Zhang Jiazheng, married the granddaughter of Yang Pu, the Minister of War, and his daughter married the son of Ma Ziqiang, the former cabinet minister. It can be said that when the salt industry is in the salt industry today, Wang, Ma and Zhang San's family are half."

Lin Yanchao saw that Mr. Mei had a very different attitude today, and he had some ideas that he knew everything, but he didn't know who he had given guidance.

Lin Yanchao just nodded and said, "I already know these."

Master Mei said, "Now, Zhang, Wang, and Ma have passed away one after another. Now Xu Ge Lao from Huizhou is in power, and all the Hui merchants in Yangzhou are selling Xu Ge Lao's face. The Wu family in our Lianghuai salt merchants is Xu Ge Lao's in-laws."

Lin Yanchao heard about this back then.

Xu Guo's father-in-law ran a rice shop. One day, he opened the store door and saw a thin-dressed Xu Guo curled under the eaves, and shivered all over. He hurriedly brought Xu Guo to the fire brazier in the store. Xu Guo was a scholar in the county at that time. He came back late yesterday to visit his mother and closed the city gate. He had to sleep under the eaves of the rice shop. Seeing that he was thin and elegant, his father-in-law regarded him as a confidant and provided him with food and accommodation for a long time. Later, he married his daughter to him and helped him go to Beijing to take the scientific examination.

Xu Guojin was on the list and began to become an official. His father-in-law Wu family has been supporting Xu Guo in various financial resources and contacts.

After Xu Guo became a senior, he also returned to the Wu family. The Wu family has developed rapidly in Yangzhou in recent years, so this story has also been rumored to be a good story.

Master Mei said: "At the moment when the salt industry in the two Huaihe River is changing, if someone in the court is willing to support our Mei family, our Mei family is willing to work hard for the front and horses."

Lin Yanchao said: "I heard from you that if you don't have Zhang Puzhou, Ma Tongzhou, Wang Sikong, and Xu Ge Lao's current background, I'm afraid you would not be able to gain a foothold in Yangzhou's salt industry. Do you have a candidate in your Mei family?"

Grand Master Mei and Mei Kan looked at each other, and Grand Master Mei immediately smiled and said, "It depends on when the master of the ministry will come to the cabinet to worship the minister."??
