Lin Mansion is actually not far from Wanglufang. Although the area is not too large, the garden composed of corridors, rockeries, ponds, and pine forests is also particularly elegant.
A study room has bookshelves, calligraphy and painting shelves on both sides, and screens on both sides. Both sides are made of hollow bricks, which can dissipate heat in winter. In summer, it faces the pond, and the scenery is unique at first glance.
But the atmosphere was heavy at the moment. There were more than a dozen people sitting there, but no one spoke.
These people are all wearing casual clothes, but when they gather together, they can see the shadow of arrogance. They all have a lot of power, and now their faces are ugly, and they don't even touch the refreshments brought by the maid.
The ones who are anxious are not just the master who sits at the top. Among them, who have followed to Dazheng and worked hard for nearly twenty years, who feels better now?
No one said a word in the huge conference hall, but being silent was also an attitude, which made Lin Yuqing sitting at the top even more embarrassed. For a while, the study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yes, after years of hard work, everything was ruined because of Lin Yuqing's incident. How could he not have any ideas?
After all, Lin Yuqing had been working in Dazheng for more than ten years, and he still cultivated some close friends. Some people couldn't see it, so he started with difficulty: "Now there are more than ten families, no, hidden in the dark, there are more powerful people, such a tacit understanding We can't resist the blow at all, so tell us, how should we respond?"
After one person opened his mouth, someone finally sighed and spoke.
"It's difficult. There is no solution to this matter."
"I can still think of ways to do other things, but this is difficult!"
A man who looked quite strong frowned at this moment, looked around, deliberately avoided the person sitting at the top, and asked: "Where is our network of relationships? After all, we have been operating for nearly twenty years, and we have spent at least Two hundred thousand silver, countless favors sold, and when the trouble comes, no one is willing to help?"
A scribe on the side smiled bitterly: "A few days ago, even if we accidentally offended the emperor, we could still find a few people to intercede with us based on our connections."
"Over the years, we have traveled to all parts of Dazheng without encountering many difficulties, which is proof of this."
"But once this happens, these people won't be able to avoid it. Who dares to come forward?"
If a family has no female relatives, on the one hand they are suspicious that their female relatives are being tampered with, and on the other hand they have helped, so it is easy to attack them in groups. When the mud falls into the crotch, it is not shit, but shit.
"You won't even help?"
"Yes, I sent people to ask for help, but they all avoided him. Not to mention seeing the master, all the polite stewards in the past have changed and become disrespectful." The scribe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is terrible. You really fed a bunch of white-eyed wolves.”
In the past, how much money was spent?
When the young master first arrived in Dazheng, he was not valued by the royal family of Lin State, nor was he cared about by the king. He felt that he was just giving up a son as a hostage.
It was only when the young master gradually gained a firm foothold that Lin Guo began to gain support.
And they followed the young master, had a difficult start, and slowly gained their current power. They originally thought that even if they were fed, they would be able to feed a group of useful people, but now they are really in trouble, and they are avoiding each and every one of them!
"You also said that if something like this happens, it's too late to avoid it. Who dares to step forward?"
"This is not an aboveboard matter. If you can help me say something, it would be embarrassing to say such things!" At this time, someone actually snorted disdainfully and cursed in a low voice: "If you ask me, it's It’s all your own fault! Now like this, I can’t blame others for hiding!”
This is enough to say the following.
But because he said this, he was someone who had followed the king before and was sent by the king to seep the sand. He had such confidence in treating Lin Yuqing.
And what happened to Lin Yuqing this time was also embarrassing.
Being teased and joked like a clown by the entire Zheng capital city not only insulted Lin Yuqing, but also insulted all the royal family members of the Lin Kingdom. It is no wonder that Lin Yuqing was blamed.
Among the people present, those who were attracted by Lin Yuqing looked at each other and sighed.
There was no way, even a few of them were speechless at the moment. They felt too embarrassed to scold this person for paying attention to his words.
No wonder everyone was silent or complaining just now. Although this human network, or rather the intelligence network, was initially created by Lin Yuqing, it was not just Lin Yuqing’s private property. It was the Lin State’s continuous input of manpower and resources that allowed it to be truly built.
Not only can he earn money every year and obtain many materials needed by the Lin Kingdom, but he can also master a lot of key information about Dazheng.
In the matter in the southwest, we can only provide support because of intelligence.
Now, because of Lin Yuqing's personal affairs, he was paralyzed and collapsed.
The conference hall fell silent again.
Lin Yuqing sat at the top, like a clay sculpture from the beginning, motionless or speaking, just sitting silently, with sadness in her heart.
Back then, I only had an old slave following me, and I didn’t know how much hardship I endured. I still took the blame and struggled to survive. When I made some achievements, people in the country were filled with people and sand was poured out. Now, I have encountered trouble. The first reaction is to accuse.
"Sure enough, it's just a name and a tool, and you can't give it to anyone."
At this time, an entourage suddenly came in from outside the hall. His appearance made Lin Yuqing feel a little moved.
Lin Yuqing raised his eyelids slightly and looked over. The attendant looked solemn, walked up to Lin Yuqing, handed over a note, and whispered a few words at the same time.
After just one glance, Lin Yuqing's expression changed and veins appeared on his hands.
When the man went out, Lin Yuqing had read the note more than once and held it tightly in his hand.
"Let's talk about it again. How should we deal with it now? We can't let it go anymore. Look, is there any other way to stop this matter from getting worse?" Lin Yuqing spoke in a dry voice.
The scribe who had spoken sighed: "My lord, it's difficult. The current situation can never be reversed. Even if we try to persuade King Qi and King Shu to speak, we can't withstand this pressure on our behalf."
"In fact, although we have worked hard for twenty years, this is Dazheng after all, not Lin State. Even if we develop power, it is mostly in the dark and cannot have much influence."
"What I'm talking about is that I heard that there are still people plotting to continue to attack us. If this continues, let alone preventing the situation from spreading, it may be difficult for us to return home. Those people wish that we would all die here, so that everything would be over."
Whether it is the hatred of humiliating a wife or a daughter, it cannot be easily eliminated. This cannot be solved by spending money.
Moreover, this young master, perhaps because his mother was from a lower background, particularly likes noble girls with good family backgrounds. How can he lack that little money?
The more a family is like this, the more they value reputation. However, the young master has stepped on the things that people care about most, and stepped on them again and again in public. It would be strange if he is not hated to the bone now.
