If Zhang Suxing is to be promoted to Lingxiao County Sheriff, then the post of Wangjiang County Magistrate will be vacant.
Lin Jingyun and Zhang Wenjian have a good relationship and know some inside information, so that the Lin family can make preparations earlier.
Although the Lin family is now the richest man in Wangjiang, it is still just a family of merchants.
If they cannot establish a good relationship with the new magistrate and the magistrate wants to embarrass them, they will have almost no power to fight back.
After all, he couldn't always ask Wang Quanzheng for help with many things.
Although the Wang family has some influence in Shangliang, Wangjiang's affairs are beyond their reach, and it is not a long-term solution to bother him all the time.
Therefore, Lin Zhengying felt that not only should he maintain a good relationship with Zhang Suxing, but he should also quickly please the new magistrate.
However, when he saw Lin Jingyun's frown, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.
"Father, Wen Jian said that the new county magistrate is the third son of Shang Liang Guan's family." Lin Jingyun's face showed a troubled look.
Lin Zhengying's face couldn't help but tremble.
Shangliang Guan family is the second largest family among the four major families in Shangliang.
Their status in Shangliang is second only to the Zhang family.
Guan Xing, the third son of the Guan family, had some issues with them back then.
Guanxing was the number one scholar who came first in the palace examination five years ago. He was talented and famous for his talent in Shangliang.
It's just that this person's character is not very good, and he is particularly lustful.
Moreover, he also boasted that it would be useless to be a young man if he was not romantic, as if it was abnormal for a romantic and talented man like him not to be lustful.
It is said that a talented man loves beauty and should be called elegance...
Back then, Lin Zhengying took Lin Shu'er as a guest at the royal residence of Wang Quan of Shangliang Dynasty, and they happened to meet Guan Xing.
When Guan Xing saw Lin Shu'er, his eyes almost went straight.
His words were very frivolous, and he repeatedly used words to tease Lin Shuer, which made their father and daughter very unhappy.
But because of Wang Quanzheng's face, it was difficult for them to have an attack.
But unexpectedly, Guanxing became more aggressive and started to touch Lin Shuer.
Lin Shuer, who had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, couldn't bear it anymore and beat her up.
Fortunately, Wang Quanzheng had a good relationship with the Guan family, and Guan Xing was at fault first, so the Guan family never pursued the matter.
But the relationship between the Lin family and Guan Xing was thus forged.
Later, Lin Zhengying no longer dared to take Lin Shuer to Beijing because he was worried about meeting Guanxing again.
He felt that if he couldn't afford to offend him, he could just hide away.
The sky is high and the Emperor is far away, so he, a young master from Kyoto, will not come to this small place to cause trouble for him.
However, he didn't expect that this world could be such a coincidence.
Guanxing was actually appointed to be the magistrate of Wangjiang County.
If Guan Xing still remembers what happened back then and wants to bring bad luck to the Lin family, then the good days of the Lin family may be coming to an end.
What Lin Zhengying was most worried about was that Guanxing would use the county magistrate's authority to blackmail them into harming Lin Shuer.
You know, when Guan Xing met Lin Shu'er, she was only twelve years old and already well established.
More than two years have passed since the girl's eighteenth transformation, and Lin Shu'er has become even more graceful.
Lin Zhengying was worried that if Guan Xing saw her again, he might have evil intentions...
All three brothers of the Lin family knew about Lin Shuer's violent beating of Guanxing.
When he heard the name Guanxing, Lin Jingfeng's face immediately changed. "Father, I'm afraid I can't let my sister stay at home."
"But if your sister doesn't stay at home, where can you let her go?" Lin Zhengying said with a look of reluctance. "You can't send her to your uncle. That's not appropriate either."
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
After a long time, Lin Jinglei said, "Father, if you want me to tell you, I will send my sister to Duanjiabao."
"Nonsense, how can that be done?" Lin Zhengying's face was stern. "It's already shameful for us to lower our status and marry the Duan family. Why, they haven't agreed yet, and you still want me to lick my old face and bring your sister into their arms." Can’t it be done?”
Lin Jinglei snorted, "Is it possible that father wants to leave his sister to Guanxing?"
"You stinky boy!" Lin Zhengying was furious when he heard this, and threw the teacup in his hand directly at Lin Jinglei.
Lin Jinglei quickly dodged and the teacup hit the wall with a loud bang, shattering immediately.
Lin Jinglei stared at Lin Zhengying and spoke again, "Father, didn't Duan Wenjun say that he hadn't gotten along with his sister for so many years and didn't understand each other, so he didn't agree to the marriage? Let's send our sister to Duanjiabao so that they can become more familiar with each other. It’s not like we’re forcing them to get married right away, it’s just to let them get to know each other better.”
"Duanjiabao is not far from Wangjiang County. If my father misses my sister, he can visit her at any time." Seeing that Lin Zhengying didn't speak, Lin Jinglei continued, "With my sister's skills, she won't suffer any loss in Duanjiabao."
"Father, I think Third Brother's idea is a good one." Lin Jingfeng nodded thoughtfully, "In this case, we can use my sister's marriage to Duan Wenjun to shirk Guan Xing, and then we can try to eliminate the previous problems." It’s time for the holidays.”
"Well, this is a way." Lin Zhengying nodded. "Guanxing definitely needs local support when he first comes to Wangjiang. Our Lin family is the head of the Wangjiang squire. I think if Shu'er is not here, he will not be too If you make things difficult for us, you may have to rely on us."
At this point, Lin Zhengying suddenly had a plan in his mind: "Jing Lei, in this case, I will leave it to you to send your sister to Duanjiabao; Jing Feng, prepare a generous gift and wait for the new magistrate to arrive." , let’s go see him immediately!”
Not to mention that the Lin family father and son wanted to send Lin Shuer to Duanjiabao and used Duan Wenjun as a shield to block Guanxing, the new magistrate, Duan Wenjun was also in a very difficult position at the moment.
The last time he was in Gong County, Chai Jingyun told him that the general attack on Moon Island was expected to take half a month.
If he followed his previous plan, he would have plenty of time to convince Zhao Dachui.
But unexpectedly, the time for the general attack has suddenly been advanced.
Chai Jingyun said that this was the emperor's wish. Dongshi Island has been pacified, and Moon Island must be defeated quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.
Moreover, the "carrot and stick" policy proposed by Duan Wenjun needs to be put into practice immediately.
Chai Jingyun only gave him five days.
Five days is a rush!
So, he and Mo Shoucheng quietly went to the island along the secret passage of the waterway directly under the leadership of Zhao Xiaowu.
Seeing Zhao Xiaowu and the two of them standing in front of him, Zhao Dachui's expression changed slightly.
When he was about to scold Zhao Xiaowu for being stupid and choosing to come back to die at this time, he was suddenly stunned.
His eyes looked at the two people behind me, Zhao Xiaowu, "Are you Master Duan and Master Mo?"
Obviously, Zhao Dachui is not too stupid and has already guessed their identities.
If you are smart, things will be easy for you.
Duan Wenjun nodded, stared at Zhao Dachui and said, "Master Zhao, you should know the purpose of our visit today."
Zhao Dachui was stunned when he heard this, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "Master Duan, thank you for taking care of Xiaowu. I will pretend not to see you go to the island today. You should leave as soon as possible!"
"If you don't think about yourself, you should think about Xiaowu and the thousands of brothers on the island." Duan Wenjun looked at him and said slowly.
Zhao Dachui shook his head, with a sneer on his face, "Young Master Duan must also know the fate of Dongshi Island. Their camp claimed that Azhen has surrendered, but there is still no one alive on the island..."
"Do you mean that Zhang Azhen of Dongshi Island surrendered or was killed by the imperial court?" Duan Wenjun was shocked when he heard this.
Hearing the news, he seemed to have some chills running down his spine.
Although Zhang Azhen's Dongshi Island is not as big as Moon Island, it still has more than a thousand people.
Hearing Chai Jingyun say that they were a typical example of the big stick policy, but he was still shocked to hear that no one was left alive.
He had to sigh, in this world, human life is really worthless...
"Not bad!" Zhao Dachui's expression became extremely solemn. "Zhao Dachui thanked Master Duan for repaying evil with kindness. Regardless of the suspicion of kidnapping that day, he was still thinking about our Moon Island. However, this court cannot be trusted."
"What if I tell you that after you surrender, everyone will be incorporated into my Duan Family Fort?" Duan Wenjun stared at him and spoke again, "If I promise you, I can give them work every day. , make money every day, and slowly live a good life?"
Zhao Dachui shook his head, "Master Duan, do you think you can believe this? Although the Duan family is quite powerful in Wangjiang, in the eyes of the court, it is just a small businessman's home. How could the court agree to let Yue Yue go? Are there thousands of bandits on the island following the Duan family?"
"In the eyes of the imperial court, we are all bandits who kill without blinking an eye. Since the imperial court is determined to pacify Moon Island, how can it possibly give us a way to survive?" He shook his head, "Master Duan, maybe the Duan family has money. It’s not difficult to buy a few hundred domestic slaves. But it’s not feasible to use this method to take in the people on Moon Island. If someone is taking advantage of it, the Duan family will suffer. "
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dachui could still consider him at this time, which was beyond his expectation.
