The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

After making up his mind, Lin Daguan and his men walked towards the gate of Yi Laoyuan.

During these few steps, Lin Tailai recalled the history of Yi Laoyuan in the original time and space, which had something to do with the separation of the Anhui and Jiangsu families.

During the Kangxi period in another time and space, the 200-acre Humble Administrator's Garden had been divided into two or three small and medium-sized gardens, so the 80-acre Yi Lao Garden became the largest garden in Suzhou City at that time.

Jiangnan Province, which evolved from the Southern Zhili Province of the Ming Dynasty, was divided into two provinces, Jiangsu and Anhui.

At that time, the Jiangsu Chief Envoy Department was located in Suzhou, and the southern half of Yilaoyuan was directly used to build the government office.

It can be seen that the area of ​​​​Yilao Garden is large, and half of Yilao Garden is enough to serve as the chief envoy's office.

As for the northern half of Yi Lao Garden, it gradually disappeared into the long river of history with the decline of the Wang family, leaving only the sighs of the Wang family's descendants at the ups and downs of the world.

Later, during the Republic of China, Suzhou City opened a new city gate called Kinmen to ease traffic pressure, which should also be here.

It can only be said that this location is really suitable for building a city gate. No matter who comes to investigate and design, they will choose this place.

Thinking of this, Lin Daguan snorted coldly, the Qing Dynasty could do it, the Republic of China could do it, but Lin Tailai couldn't do it?

Your Wang family is also a giant family in the Dongting Merchant Gang. When the Xi family organized the coalition, how dare you say that you didn't know anything about it?

Not to mention that the Dongshan Lu family, which is closely related to the Wang family, also sent out manpower!

When they arrived at Yi Lao Garden, they knocked on the gate. Lin Daguan and his uninvited guests were not invited inside, but were led to the front yard inside the gate.

Not long after, Wang Yusheng, who had competed with Lin Tailai for the top spot in the government examination, came out.

The main residence of the Wang family is in Dongshan on Taihu Lake, so it is called the Wang family in Dongshan, while Yi Lao Garden is a separate property.

Since Wang Hao, no one in the Wang family has passed the Jinshi examination. Including Wang Hao's eldest grandson, Wang Youren, they all relied on Wang Hao's kindness to serve as officials.

Wang Yusheng was Wang Youren's son, and he was also the most talented person in the Wang family's generation. He was highly valued and was arranged to live in Yilaoyuan in the city to facilitate his interactions with scholars.

The young man had not yet finished cultivating his Qi. Wang Yusheng, who was in his twenties, grimaced when he saw Lin Tailai.

"What's the point of your sudden arrival today?" Wang Yu said in a strong voice.

Lin Tailai replied: "For the sake of our friendship with the same case, I came here to give you a great meritorious deed for the Wang family."

Wang Yusheng didn't want to believe a word of Lin Tailai's words.

He looked at the more than 20 thugs behind Lin Tailai, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Sending people to the West is also giving merit?"

Lin Tailai pretended not to hear and said to himself: "I happened to pass by your Wang family's Yi Lao Garden today and found something extremely inappropriate. Yi Lao Garden is obviously substandard!"

Wang Yusheng felt baffled. Lin Tailai came over and asked, "What are you doing?" Is it possible that you still want to demolish Yi Laoyuan?

Lin Tailai pointed to the west city wall and said: "The city wall was built for safety and defense. Building such a large garden close to the root of the city wall is obviously a huge hidden danger!

It can be assumed that thousands of men and horses can be hidden in the garden. In an emergency, these thousands of men and horses can directly set up ladders from the garden to climb the city wall and seize the city head! "

Wang Yusheng's anger gauge was full in an instant. Why did Lin Tailai's nonsense sound so irritating?

He couldn't help but rebuke: "That's nonsense! I, the Wang family, have been blessed by the country, how could I have such evil intentions?"

Lin Tailai responded: "Think about Cao Cao and Sima Yi, they both said they had no intention of becoming emperor!

Even if your Wang family doesn’t have any evil intentions, you should always avoid suspicion, right? "

Wang Yusheng didn't want to continue talking, so he turned away the guests and shouted: "Get out!"

But Official Lin hadn't finished speaking yet and didn't want to leave, so he had a friendly exchange of martial arts with the Wang family's slaves.

After a while, more than twenty slaves of the Wang family were allowed to lie on the ground and rest.

Then Officer Lin led another group of people, surrounded Wang Yusheng, and said sincerely:

"As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is bad for the ears but good for the deed. For the sake of the Wang family, you'd better hear me out."

Wang Yusheng found that there was nothing he could do at this moment except staring at Lin Tailai fiercely.

Seeing that Wang Yusheng agreed to continue the exchange, Lin Tailai said seriously:

"Anyone with a clear eye can see that an eighty-acre garden should not be built in a place close to the city wall.

I don’t know why the government approved it in the first place or why it gave this land to your Wang family. I just don’t know why. "

Gao Changjiang, who was in charge of city affairs and followed to watch the excitement, heard this and said:

"At that time, the ancestor of the Wang family was a very famous bachelor of Ge Lao. Wouldn't it be very simple to build a garden in his hometown?

Suzhou City is densely populated, and there probably can't be such a large open space anywhere except near the city wall. "

Lin Tailai suddenly understood, said a long "oh", and said repeatedly: "No wonder, no wonder!"

He pointed to the west city wall again and said to Wang Yusheng: "It has been six or seventy years, and no one has corrected such a large illegal building. I am really shocked."

I don’t know what others think, but the old subordinates like the Protector and Gao Changjiang all feel familiar and the formula is familiar.

Unknowingly, they took the moral high ground again, created a reputation for justice, and put the other party in the scapegoat.

Everyone in the world thinks that the strongest point of Zuoguan is his martial arts, but only he knows best that the strongest point of Zuoguan is actually his weaving ability.

Wang Yusheng finally spoke again, sneering: "What? Do you want to demolish the entire Yilao Garden?"

Lin Tailai replied: "You can't say that. I said it when I came in just now. I want to give your Wang family a good deed.

You see, the traffic in and out of Suzhou in the west is huge, and the Changmen and Xumen are extremely congested, and the people are miserable.

If a new city gate is opened here, wouldn't it benefit the local area and benefit the future generations?

I think such a great merit should be accepted by your Wang family, and it will also eliminate the fault of the garden not being compliant."

Wang Yusheng: "."

Are you sick, Lin Tailai? In order to build a new city gate, the 80-acre garden of the Wang family has to be demolished? How can you be so embarrassed to ask?

Lin Tailai said: "If it doesn't work, demolish half of it."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Wang Yusheng refused without thinking.

No one in the Wang family dared to agree to demolish Yilao Garden without asking his father, even if they offered the best conditions in exchange!

This is the residence of Wang Ao, the most glorious ancestor of the Wang family, in his later years. It is a symbol of the glory of the Wang family for six generations after it separated from the Lu family!

This is the place where Wang Ao socialized with Wu Kuan, Shen Zhou, Yang Xunji, Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Zhu Zhishan!

Lin Tailai said lightly: "If you don't take what God gives you, you will be blamed. If you don't take the great merit given to your Wang family for free, you will be punished.

More than a decade ago, when Xu Wenzhen, the prime minister of Huating, retired to his home and illegally occupied 200,000 acres of land, he also felt that it was impossible for anyone to force him to clear the land."

Faced with this naked threat, Wang Yusheng said angrily: "Then you try it!"

"Try it!" Lin Tailai said tit for tat, and waved to his men.

Then he started to fight again, but did not rush into the depths of the garden.

He just smashed the gate and the flower beds and gardening inside the gate, and removed the door panels of the gate of Yi Laoyuan.

The nearby Xueshi Street is a main road with many pedestrians. When they saw the movement at the gate of Yilaoyuan, some people immediately gathered to watch.

In broad daylight, the gate of his residence was smashed, and Wang Yusheng was already furious and his face was red.

As the most outstanding and promising scholar in the Wang family today, Yilaoyuan may be managed by him in the future!

Now that his door was smashed like this, where can he put his face?

And Wang Yusheng immediately understood what it meant to be a scholar meeting a soldier, and he couldn't explain his reason.

He said with great resentment: "We, the Wang family, will never give up!"

Mr. Lin responded even more arrogantly: "Your Wang family acquiesced and condoned the Xi family's attack on me, and the Lu family, who has a close relationship with your Wang family, also personally went into battle. This account has not been settled for the time being, so should I just give up?

To be honest, it's not that I'm arrogant. Under the current circumstances, your Wang family can't beat me at all, and you can only go through official channels.

But if you want to file a complaint, don't go to the county government, it won't work; don't go to the governor's office, it won't work either.

So I suggest that you should file a complaint at the government office, maybe you can still have a chance of winning."

After that, Mr. Lin walked out of Yilaoyuan with more than 20 followers.

Looking back at the shabby gate of Yilaoyuan, Mr. Lin shook his head and muttered something that no one could understand: "Could I, Lin Tailai, be worse than the Qing Dynasty?"

On the way, Lin Tailai asked his elder brother Lin Shilai again: "Watching me handle things today, have you learned any essence?"

While thinking, Mr. Lin answered several times, but did not get Lin A Si's praise.

Lin Tailai asked Gao Changjiang again: "What do you think is the essence of today?"

Gao Changjiang answered confidently: "As for the essence of today, it is what the host said to Wang Yusheng-you'd better go to the government office to complain!"

Lin Tailai laughed a few times and praised: "You have finally made some progress!"

After that, Wang Yusheng returned to the main house in Dongshan and reported to his father Wang Youren what happened in Yilaoyuan.

Needless to say, the Wang family must respond to this immediately, otherwise how can the face of the century-old family be saved?

But after the father and son discussed, they found that the fastest way to deal with it was to complain to the government office.

Moreover, although the prefect Zhu is not taking any action at present, he must be in urgent need of collecting evidence of Lin Tailai's crimes for future use.

So going to the government office to sue Lin Tailai at this time can be regarded as a perfect match with the prefect.

According to the rules of officialdom, the prefect rarely directly hears cases.

There are prosecutors in the government office who are responsible for criminal cases. Generally, the cases are first heard by the prosecutors and then summarized to the prefect.

But after the division of the camps that day, the prefect Liu directly claimed to be ill and did not join Zhang Siwei's gang.

So the Wang family's complaint against Lin Tailai was directly sent to the prefect's desk, and no one else dared to take it anyway.

The head of the Lin family continued to follow the craftsmen to survey the terrain. This time he went to the southernmost end of Changzhou County, which was very close to Wujiang County in the south.

The nominal ancient Sanjiangkou is in this large area, and the specific location is not important.

Anyway, find a suitable place in Changzhou County to name it, and start the river dredging project in the future.

But there were problems in the surveyed places, which caused dissatisfaction from Wujiang County.

First, they believed that the ancient Sanjiangkou was in Wujiang County; second, the river project in Changzhou County was likely to affect Wujiang County.

So officials from Wujiang County arrived and clashed with the survey team in the county.

Lin Ada, the chief engineer of the Lin family engineering team, looked at the thirty thugs assigned by his fourth brother, then looked at the opposite side, and ordered: "Fight!"

Then he quickly added: "Only hit the clerks and runners on the opposite side, don't touch other people!"

Looking at the Wujiang County clerks and runners lying on the ground, Lin Ada thought for a while and said fiercely:

"No county government can do anything about this matter today, and the governor won't do anything about it! If you don't accept it, you'd better go to the government office to file a complaint!"

Since he personally observed Lin Tailai's experience in handling demolition affairs, although Lin Ada was a little confused, he imitated it very well. After all, they were brothers.

His cognition was very simple. If he hit ordinary people on the other side, the people would go to the county government to file a complaint.

But if he hit people from the other county government, the county government could only go to the government government to file a complaint.

So this time he let ordinary people go and picked the clerks and runners representing the county government to fight.

Wujiang County is very close to Suzhou City, and in later generations it was merged into the urban area.

Encountering such a thing, the Wujiang County government would definitely not tolerate it, so the government immediately received another accusation document from Wujiang County.

People who follow Lin Tailai find it very strange. It seems that Lin Tailai deliberately forced others to file a complaint at the government office?

Why is it like deliberately giving the enemy a handle? No one can understand why.

Even Prefect Zhu himself felt something was wrong, wondering whether to interrogate Lin Tailai first and test him?

There are too many people who pay attention to Lin Tailai, but if you ask who pays the most attention to Lin Tailai, Mr. Shen can definitely be ranked in the top five.

Since the welcoming ceremony of Governor Zhao, Mr. Shen has been low-key as if he has disappeared, and he is extremely disappointed.

Compared with Lin Tailai's fearless spirit, he feels that he is too cowardly and cowardly.

As the son of the prime minister, facing the dilemma of his father's impending loss of power, he is not as strong as an outsider.

Lin Tailai dared to openly slander Zhang Siwei by name and directly draw a line to determine the enemy, but Shen Yongjia did not have this courage!

These days, Mr. Shen has put in his greatest energy to watch Lin Tailai's every move, but every time he finished watching, he felt even more disappointed.

As the leader of the Renewal Society and an indispensable supporter of Lin Tailai, he found that Lin Tailai didn't seem to need him at all.

When Lin Tailai was openly promoting the "Zhang Siwei's minions gang" outside, he could only sit at home and drink to drown his sorrows.

It seemed that Lin Tailai no longer needed his support for anything he did.

Lin Tailai caused trouble and didn't ask him to solve it.

Lin Tailai ignored him completely these days. Was he dissatisfied with him as the leader?

Mr. Shen couldn't help but fall into the ultimate philosophical thinking, what is the meaning of his existence?

I'll keep the update in mind, but it depends on whether I have enough ideas and time!
