As soon as Zhang Yunlai and Guo came out of the backyard and entered the front hall, they met the singer and attendants in Yuan Qingfang. These people were surprised when they saw Guo's embarrassed expression. The Guo family in Yuan Qingfang was extremely powerful and domineering.
Unexpectedly, today, Mr. Guo's face was swollen, and even one of his faces was swollen into the shape of a pig's head.
This situation is extremely miserable.
Many people are actually a little happy because Guo is usually extremely domineering. After all, she is the Madam, the person in charge of Yuan Qingfang, and has great power. Now that I see the Guo family in such a state of desolation, I feel a sense of joy.
Not long after, Zhang Yunlai and Mrs. Guo arrived at Lin Feng's private room, and Mrs. Guo went directly to knock on the door.
boom! boom!
There was a knock on the door.
After a while, Lin Feng came out and opened the door.
Lin Feng saw Guo's swollen face and miserable appearance, and then saw Zhang Yunlai standing aside, and roughly understood the situation. Although he had a guess, he still had a cold face and asked: "Come here, what's the matter?"
Zhang Yunlai smiled and said: "Master Lin, next Zhang Yunlai is the person behind Yuan Qingfang. Today, the Guo family is the one who made the decision regarding your brother Huan Suzhi. I am really sorry. Can you tell me about this matter? Let’s go inside and talk?”
"please!"
Lin Feng waved and spoke.
Zhang Yunlai made it clear from the beginning that Guo was the one who was good at making decisions and even appeared to apologize. Under such circumstances, Lin Feng naturally first looks at the other party's intentions, and then considers how to solve the problem in the future.
The group of people entered the elegant room and took their seats.
Lin Feng said: "Master Zhang is here, how do you plan to solve it?"
Zhang Yunlai looked sincere and said seriously: "As for today's matter, let me clarify my attitude first. This conflict is Guo's fault and my Yuan Qingfang's fault. I didn't know about this matter originally. Today I happened to come to check the accounts, and I met Mr. Guo happily saying that he had earned five thousand taels of silver, and wanted to show off his merits, looking very proud of himself."
"After I inquired, I learned that Mr. Lin was involved. Mr. Guo was extremely domineering in this matter. In view of the impact this incident had on Mr. Lin, I, Yuan Qingfang, will fully bear the responsibility."
"And I will compensate you."
"First, Mrs. Guo made a mistake and was domineering. She is here, at the disposal of Young Master Lin. She can be killed or beheaded as he pleases."
"Second, Huan Suzhi's food and accommodation expenses in Yuan Qingfang have been written off in one stroke. This time, it is my Yuan Qingfang's fault. So on this basis, I, Yuan Qingfang, will compensate Mr. Lin fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Thirdly, I heard that Mr. Lin is going to work in Guzang County, Weiwu County, and I have another piece of news for Mr. Lin. On the surface, the Yang family in Guzang County is a big business family. In fact, everyone from top to bottom in Guzang County They are people from the Yang family, they are all won over by the Yang family, the Yang family is the emperor of the earth and the overlord of the earth."
"Master Lin, be careful."
Zhang Yunlai looked sincere and said, "Master Lin, what do you think?"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, her eyes were surprised.
This compensation is too heavy.
She was even more frightened in her heart, because Zhang Yunlai was the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and he actually apologized to Lin Feng in person, which was terrifying.
thump!
Mrs. Guo directly knelt on the ground, kowtowed with her head, and said: "Master Lin, this servant is in the wrong. I beg Master Lin to spare my life. I am willing to be a cow or a horse, but I only ask Mr. Lin to spare my life."
Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yunlai and was very surprised. Zhang Yunlai was so generous.
In other words, this courage is amazing. The matter was not complicated, but Zhang Yunlai actually gave such a large compensation. Not to mention fifty thousand taels of silver, this piece of news about the Yang family was worth a lot to Lin Feng.
This made Lin Feng even more wary of the Yang family.
Lin Feng thought to himself, he is a person who always respects me and others. The other party has a very good attitude. He is not arrogant and domineering. On the contrary, he apologizes as soon as he comes up, and he does not go around in circles and directly talks about the compensation plan.
Lin Feng asked: "Master Zhang, don't you feel that you have suffered a loss by making such compensation?"
Zhang Yunlai smiled slightly and said: "As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. It is also fate that we can get to know Mr. Lin through this."
Lin Feng said: "Zhang Gongzi is benevolent and righteous, and I can't help but express it. The compensation of 50,000 taels is fine. I'm not short of money. I accepted the news about the Yang family. In addition, I don't want to know about the Guo family." I saw her again in Yuan Qingfang."
Zhang Yun came to look at Mr. Guo and scolded him, "I still haven't thanked Master Lin yet."
"Bang! Bang!"
Mrs. Guo kowtowed quickly and said, "I am deeply grateful to Mr. Lin for not killing me."
At this moment, Mr. Guo was both happy and disappointed.
Fortunately, she survived. If Lin Feng wanted to kill her, she would definitely die. After all, she was just a slave of the Zhang family. She was disappointed because she couldn't stay in Yuan Qingfang. When she returned to the Zhang family, she would be a servant serving others. How could she be as comfortable as her life in Yuan Qingfang?
Guo kowtowed and left.
Zhang Yunlai said immediately: "It's rare to meet Mr. Lin today. Can you give me a chance to treat Mr. Lin to a banquet?"
Lin Feng said: "I won't be polite."
Zhang Yunlai immediately arranged for wine to be delivered. When the waiters filled the wine bottles, Zhang Yunlai held the wine bottle and said, "Mr. Lin and Mr. Huan, what happened today is that my people did not behave properly. Please forgive me."
Huan Su said: "Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. What happened this time is my problem."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I won't say anything anymore. Everything is in this glass of wine. Mr. Zhang, brother, please."
"please!"
Huan Suzhi and Zhang Yunlai opened their mouths to answer.
Both of them held wine bottles and drank down the wine in one gulp.
Zhang Yunlai said directly: "Master Lin, speaking of which, I have wanted to get to know you for a long time. Unfortunately, we have no chance to meet you. This time, the Xia State united with the Jin State, Qi State and Yan State to attack our Great Qin, and the situation was very critical. "
"But Mr. Lin went to the Jin State alone as an envoy, and quarreled with the officials of the Jin State. Then he went to the Qi State, where he tried to change the emperor's mind. No matter what happened, it would make people's blood boil."
There was yearning in Zhang Yunlai's eyes, and he said: "This is what men of my generation should do!"
Lin Feng chuckled and said: "Young Master Zhang praised Miao, this is nothing at all. What's more, this is also the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, your majesty's sage, and the unity of the Qin Dynasty. That's why the Jin and Qi countries changed. If Your Majesty is ignorant and the Qin Dynasty is in chaos. Even if I have a sharp tongue, I will not be able to lobby successfully."
Zhang Yunlai's eyes sparkled and he smiled and said: "I am lucky to be able to have a drink and chat with Mr. Lin. Speaking of which, I have another piece of news, which is also about the Yang family and is also beneficial to Mr. Lin. As the saying goes, sending Buddha to the West. , I will tell Young Master Lin all the news I know about the Yang family."
Zhang Yunlai felt good about having a simple conversation with Lin Feng. Lin Feng was not domineering, nor did he have the arrogance and condescension of the Xia scholars.
This is what Zhang Yunlai admired.
Although Zhang Yunlai did not want to become an official, he was passionate and admired Lin Feng's courage.
Use one person's power to lobby both countries.
Really awesome.
Lin Feng said: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Zhang very much."
Zhang Yunlai said seriously: "The Yang family in Guzang County is a prominent family in Guzang County. The head of the Yang family is named Yang Shanlong. The eldest daughter is married to the leader of the Di people in Guzang County, and the second daughter is married to a leader of the Di people in Guzang County." The leader of the Qiang people.”
"The two major Hu tribes are the backing of the Yang family. Furthermore, the Yang family itself owns tens of thousands of slaves. It is so powerful that in Guzang County, the Yang family is as good as a local emperor or a local tyrant."
"This is the most fundamental problem in Guzang."
Zhang Yunlai said: "Even further news is that Han Qianshan, the prefect of Weiwu County, said that he died after falling from his horse. In fact, it was Yang Shanlong's fault. This is the general situation."
After Lin Feng heard this, his brows rose, and he was even more surprised because the news about Zhang Yunlai went further.
This opened up the foundation of Weiwu County.
This is true.
Lin Feng cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you very much."
Zhang Yunlai shook his head and said: "You're welcome, I run Yuan Qingfang and I know this news. If it weren't for Yang Xisheng of the Yang family who has been doing business in Xianyang and he likes to come to Yuan Qingfang, I wouldn't have known about it. Furthermore, my father often mentions Mr. Lin, and I admire you very much for many things. So, being able to help you now can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."
Lin Feng said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang. If Brother Zhang doesn't dislike it, then you and I will become brothers."
Zhang Yunlai took advantage of the situation and said, "How old am I? I call you my wise brother."
Lin Feng said: "That's right. Brother Zhang's father mentioned me. I wonder who your father is?"
Zhang Yunlai said: "My father Zhang Yi."
When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately knew the identity of the other party. He sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect him to be the son of Duke Zhang. I'm sorry! Brother Zhang has outstanding abilities, quick thinking, and generous sentiments. Why don't you become an official?"
Zhang Yunlai said with a smile: "I don't like the strife and intrigue in the officialdom. It's good to be free and free like this."
Lin Feng said: "What a pity."
Zhang Yunlai said: "It's no pity if you are born like this."
The two were chatting, and Huan Suzhi would interject from time to time. The atmosphere between the three of them quickly became warm because of the wine and meat. In particular, Lin Feng and Zhang Yunlai also felt that they were compatible because Zhang Yunlai's temperament was quite free and easy.
Lin Feng felt that he could make friends with such people.
After drinking and eating, the relationship became even closer. Even when Lin Feng and Huan Suzhi left Yuan Qingfang, Zhang Yunlai personally saw Lin Feng off.
When Lin Feng returned to his house, Gao Xiaoyu was still collecting money. After all, it is five thousand taels of cash, which is not a small amount. It needs to be counted and packed in a box before being transported, which is a bit more complicated.
After Lin Feng saw Gao Xiaoyu, he ordered Gao Xiaoyu to put all the money back. He and Huan Suzhi went to the study. They sat down and Lin Feng said, "Brother, the situation in Guzang County is a bit complicated."
"This matter must be dealt with in advance. Dozens of people from my Lin family have already gone to Guzang County to find out information for me. Now it seems that it is obviously not enough. What do you think about this matter? ?”
Huan Suzhi's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "The Yang family's strength is not only because they raise private slaves and are powerful. It is also because they are supported by the Qiang and Di tribes, especially many Di and Qiang people. In the mountains and wilderness in the valleys, these tribes include settled people and non-settled people, so it is difficult to deal with them.”
"That's why the Qiang and Di people are difficult to solve. This time, in order to win, we need to have the right to mobilize troops. Without the army in charge, things will be extremely difficult. With the army in charge, things will be easier."
Huan Su said: "This is my idea."
Lin Feng thought about it carefully and said: "That's true, and Weiwu County really needs to be reorganized. I will go to the palace tomorrow morning and ask your Majesty for an order to grant military talismans and mobilize the garrison in Weiwu County."
Huan Su said: "This is the best."
The two discussed it again, and then Huan Suzhi went down to rest.
Because Lin Feng had dinner at Yuan Qingfang, he had dinner with Bai Yuyao. After Bai Yuyao finished eating and rested for some time, Lin Feng walked with Bai Yuyao every day.
The two of them walked around and chatted in the pavilion. Lin Feng said: "Yu Yao, originally I was going to take up my post in Guzang County in a few days. But today, I learned something about Guzang County. The situation is more complicated. Therefore, I have to go early and can't accompany you."
Bai Yuyao's expression dimmed, but a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "It doesn't matter, my husband has gone to Guzang County, so we can still write letters to each other. And this time, since my husband is in Guzang County, I can also write to you."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "I will go to Guzang County and resolve the matter as soon as possible so that I can return as soon as possible."
Bai Yuyao nodded.
She said nothing and leaned against Lin Feng's body, feeling the warmth of Lin Feng's body.
With Lin Feng here, she feels at ease.
