Several civil servants in the court were very grateful to Lin Linyou because he caught several businessmen who lent Beijing debt, and these officials all borrowed the Beijing debt from these businessmen.
Because their official reputation is hindered, they are most afraid of others knowing that they have borrowed debts, so they naturally dare not report or expose them, let alone default on their debts.
Therefore, lending debt to Beijing is the most profitable business, because Beijing officials value their reputation the most. After serving as an official in Beijing for a few years and making a few small profits, they can pay off the debt and land it ashore. Therefore, money lending merchants, There is basically no risk of bad debts.
Now that the creditor has been caught, several civil servants who borrowed money are secretly happy. Although the roster and account books must have fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei at the same time, at least they don't have to pay back the high-interest Beijing debt. As for the handle left in Lin Linyou's hands, It doesn't matter, Jin Yiwei wants to deal with them, and if they want to catch them, they don't lack an account book.
Of course, if you have the chance, you still have to get close to Lin Linyou and build a relationship.
Unfortunately, they oversimplified the matter because they did not know who the real creditor was behind the Beijing debt.
The civil servants celebrated with each other, but Li Chun was angry in his heart. Cutting off people's wealth was like killing their parents! This Lin Linyou, in just a few days, has cut down several money trees of his own. If he continues like this, it will be a big deal!
The matter of the memorial was irreversible. At this point, Li Chun could only tell the truth to Ji Gang.
In the evening, as the sun set, Ji Gang was dressed in simple light silk casual clothes, wearing a light green gauze hat, carrying a small tin watering can, and leisurely watered the rows of orchids in the garden.
Li Chun stood aside silently.
"Even if you are free, don't keep running to me." Ji Gang finally watered the flowers. Li Chun hurried forward, took the tin pot from Ji Gang's hand, followed him, and walked into a pavilion with a meandering water basin. .
As soon as Ji Gang sat down, maids filed in, offering sweat towels to wipe his face and hands, and tea and fruit snacks.
After Ji Gang finished wiping his face and hands and took a sip of tea, Li Chun came forward and said: "Recently, Lin Linyou arrested several of our business friends and took away their shops. I don't know who is behind it. So bold.”
"Didn't you provoke him first?" Ji Gang pulled off the sweat towel on his face and threw it away.
Li Chun's face turned pale, he calmed down, and asked cautiously: "Where is the emperor..."
"It's just a memorial, but you want to make such a big fuss!" Ji Gang snorted, "You are the only martial arts scholar among us. I also said that you are outstanding in literary skills, why do you do such unreasonable things?"
Li Chun breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Gang scolded him to show that it was okay. The more fierce the scolding, the smaller the problem. If everything was calm, he would have to be prepared to apologize or even get out.
"Me too, I was thinking about it...but I didn't expect that he, a small family member, would dare to..." Li Chun murmured.
"Hundred households? What if you hadn't come up with a plan to kill three scholars with two peaches? How could I have given him the hundred households?" Ji Gang said angrily, "Now, good, they ate the peaches! Scholars, did you kill them?"
Li Chun said: "The lower official was negligent. Who knew that Yang Fang was so unsatisfactory and not ruthless enough? Even if he was transferred to the elephant training center, he could still be so calm."
Li Chun's so-called "two peaches kill three men" was originally intended to take advantage of Yang Fang's desire to be promoted and get some secret information about Zhang Bian, Lin Linyou and others from his hands. Unexpectedly, even the Jinyiwei commander Pan Chen stood in front of him. He couldn't seize the opportunity before him.
Peach is the rank of Jin Yiwei. When Zhang Bi and Lin Linyou both took a bite of peach, Yang Fang was the only one among the three brothers who did not. Unexpectedly, he was not stimulated at all. The relationship between the three of them was still deep. They were brothers and sisters. They gave each other a chance. He's gone, he's useless!
It seems that there are really people in the world who can endure the temptation of fame and fortune without betraying their brothers?
"You think of others too simply." Ji Gang said, "Zhang Ben is lustful and Yang Fang admires fame. But Lin Linyou, who is greedy for money, lustful and admired, can take advantage of everything, but he is the most unpredictable and difficult to deal with. .”
Li Chun: Isn’t that just like you? Of course it's difficult to deal with.
"Can we just open a vacancy?" Li Chun asked.
"Where was your first day in Jinyiwei?" Ji Gang glared, "It was you who wanted to win over them, which made them climb to this position, and you want me to get them down again? Otherwise, you can follow them by yourself. Your Majesty, do you want to go?"
Although Ji Gang is in charge of Jinyiwei, he does not have the right to open or fill vacancies for Jinyiwei to join Shangguantang. He has to ask the emperor for approval.
What's more, when he was promoted to Lin Linyou from a hundred households and Zhang Bi to a thousand households, he believed Li Chun's "two peaches kill three scholars" and asked the emperor for promotion. Now he went to tell the emperor that he had taken away the rank given to them. What do you think the emperor would think? What would the people around the emperor say?
People around him will definitely say: Ji Gang is playing tricks on you, Your Majesty!
Li Chun felt a little aggrieved: "When they investigated the Jiaofang Division case, they investigated it so closely that they were afraid that the subordinate officials would be incompetent..."
Incompetence refers to the fact that last year on the boat on Mochou Lake, he failed to kill Zhang Bilin and Lin Linyou, but was almost killed by the two of them. Later, Li Chun hid in Ji Gang's house, and then came up with the "two peaches kill three people" strategy.
But Ji Gang felt that his incompetence was not only reflected here: "Jianwen, you didn't find anything useful for me. Didn't Rui'er die in vain?"
If you can't even manage one hundred households, how can you expect this guy Li Chun to achieve anything big? I had such high hopes for you in vain!
However, Ji Gang wanted to take advantage of the internal strife between Li Chun and Lin Lin to find out Zhang Bi's background, and thereby get a glimpse of Zhang Fu's background.
That time when Zhang Bi, Lin Lin and You took Li Chunlai to his house, Ji Gang left Zhang Bi alone to have a long talk.
As for the content of the long conversation, Zhang Bi only teased Lin Linyou with a joke. Of course Lin Linyou also knew that this was just a joke. The commanding officer of the second rank of Jinyi Guards, left you alone to talk. A "let me clean it"?
What Kingo Jingo likes is a fair-haired little prostitute. Although I, Lin Linyou, are handsome, I am not narcissistic enough to be infatuated with Kingo, nor do I have the charm to be infatuated with Kingo.
Starting from this joke, Lin Linyou slowly found out that the rumors were indeed true. Zhang Bi was indeed the younger brother of the British Duke Zhang Fu!
Although they are half-brothers, although they are concubines, this guy is undoubtedly Zhang Bi's powerful golden finger in the Ming Dynasty!
The person Ji Gang chatted with Zhang Bi was also Zhang Fu, and his words revealed that he had a close relationship with Zhang Fu.
Zhang Bi just said that he admired Zhang Fu very much, but although they had the same surname as Zhang, they had no acquaintance or any relationship, just like his third brother Yang Fang had no relationship with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu. Zhang Fu is a general, but in his eyes, Ji Dajinwu is the real general of their imperial guards!
Ji Gang just smiled slightly, which meant a lot.
At present, judging from Jin Yiwei's intelligence and Zhang Fu's performance, he seems to be leaning towards Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu. Ji Gang and Zhu Gaoxu themselves also believe this, although they are not very convinced...
It's just that Zhang Bi's performance was wavering. I heard that he had private discussions with the prince? If he is really Zhang Fu's brother, this would be very serious.
Therefore, Ji Gang must investigate clearly and give an explanation to the King of Han. If something unexpected happens, it is best to prepare and arrange countermeasures in advance. After all, the Zhang family, which holds the power of soldiers and horses, is the most important trump card in the future!
"Lin Linyou, let him go! Don't worry about this matter for now." Ji Gang was disappointed with Li Chun and no longer believed in his ability. "If there is no big event in the future, don't come here."
Li Chun felt sad, not in the mood or face to stay in Ji Gang's mansion, and bowed to leave.
After leaving the mansion, Li Chun's face darkened.
It was also getting dark.
Residential buildings in the capital were filled with the sound of wiping cards one after another...
