Zhu Biao looked at Li Jin with a retarded look on his face, wondering what Li Jin was up to.
Li Jin saw Zhu Biao's appearance and hurriedly said:
"Don't get me wrong, although I am recruiting people in Yiwu County, it is to recruit crew members."
"I plan to build a large water port in Shanghu County to provide water transportation."
"crew?"
Zhu Biao looked suspicious and didn't understand why Li Jin did this.
"Even if you want to recruit crew members, shouldn't you also recruit people from the seaside?"
"The people of Yiwu County are in an inland area. They have not seen many rivers, let alone the sea. Aren't you looking for the distance instead of the near?"
"You know, your Songjiang Mansion is not only backed by the Yangtze River, it even faces the sea. There are many people with good water properties."
The more Zhu Biao talked, the more suspicious he became. Shanghu County, with its river and sea, was a good place to recruit sailors. Why did Li Jin go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers?
Li Jin was speechless, why else? Of course it is for the legendary invincible Qi Jiajun!
You must know that a hundred years later, these good men from Yiwu were built into the world's most powerful soldiers. The first modern infantry in Chinese history was born from these common people.
But of course Li Jin couldn't talk to Zhu Biao about this. He could only say vaguely:
"The people in Yiwu County are simple and honest. Since I went to Yiwu County for disaster relief, I have been very impressed by the people in Yiwu County."
"That's why I decided to recruit boat workers in Yiwu County. After all, I also want to recruit more reliable employees, right?"
"Water nature can be practiced. But a simple character is very valuable."
"Master, are you right?"
Zhu Biao didn't know whether the people in Yiwu County were simple or honest. He only knew that Li Jin was probably lying to him.
"If that's the case, then why did you recruit the people but then expel others?"
"As a result, people directly reported you to the court, saying that you were plotting to rebel."
At this point, Li Jin knew what happened.
The few people from Yiwu County who were kicked out were local gangsters. When they heard that Li Jin was recruiting boat workers and the rewards were very generous, they wanted to sign up.
However, Li Jin's criteria for recruiting people are those from good families. He will resolutely crack down on such ruffians and refuse to hire them.
So these gangsters threatened the people around them to testify for them, and finally they were able to get Liangjiazi's certificate.
In this way, several people finally got into Li Jin's recruitment queue.
But after returning to Shanghu County, these people couldn't stand Li Jin's training at all. They usually cheated and cheated, and they were too lazy to do anything.
The instructor quickly discovered something was wrong. After confirming it to all parties, these people were kicked out directly.
Even the resettlement allowance and other benefits previously paid to them have been fully recovered.
These people were unwilling to give up, so they framed and discredited Li Jin at the intersection of Shanghu County, hoping to vent their anger.
If Hu Weiyong hadn't happened to arrive at that time, I'm afraid these people would have been secretly killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Li Jin suddenly became furious when he thought of this, and told Zhu Biao all the ins and outs of the future.
After Zhu Biao heard this, he looked at Li Jin's furious expression and felt that Li Jin didn't seem to be lying. He changed his tone and asked:
"Then the magistrate of Yiwu County said that you bribed the county magistrate to help cover up your recruitment behavior. How could this be true?"
Zhu Biao's words stunned Li Jin. Bribery?
He never remembered any officials he bribed.
Besides, the magistrate of Yiwu County is very hard-nosed and self-righteous, and he doesn't know how to accept his own money.
"Sir, did you make a mistake?"
"I have never bribed Zhao Dahai, let alone asked him to keep my secrets."
"Besides, Zhao Dahai is smelly and tough. Even if I give him money, he will throw it in my face and call me a corrupt official."
"Then why did you give the county magistrate ten thousand taels of silver?"
Zhu Biao didn't believe it. He didn't know what kind of character Li Jin was.
"Ten thousand taels of silver?"
Li Jin then remembered that when he left, he gave Zhao Dahai ten thousand taels of silver, but it was not dirty silver.
"I did give him 10,000 taels of silver, but the 10,000 taels of silver were for the settlement expenses of these Yiwu people."
"Since these people are willing to follow me, I naturally can't treat their families badly."
"This money is my compensation to their families. I was afraid that these people would spend the money randomly, so I gave the money to Zhao Dahai for safekeeping."
"Wait until everyone has left before distributing the money."
Although what Li Jin said seemed to make sense, Zhu Biao was still a little skeptical.
Seeing Zhu Biao's suspicious eyes, Li Jin hurriedly said:
"Sir, even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe in Zhao Dahai."
"That's really a good official. He can't be framed like this in vain."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and said:
"Now that you are talking empty words, how can I believe you?"
"You must know that others are relying on real evidence. If you can't produce corresponding evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape this disaster."
Hu Weiyong was in the court with great fanfare and evidence, and it was clear that he came prepared.
If Li Jin does not have any substantive evidence, he is definitely dead, and Hu Weiyong will not give up.
When Li Jin heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he seemed to have thought of something and immediately stood up and said:
"This is a simple matter. Just follow me to our boatman training base and you'll know everything, right?"
When Zhu Biao heard this, his eyes lit up and he agreed:
"That's very good."
"Without further ado, let's set off now."
Zhu Biao said that he was going to get up and leave, and asked Li Jin to take him to the boatman training base to have a look.
Li Jin stopped Zhu Biao and said:
"Don't worry, we finally had a party today. Let's have fun before leaving!"
When Zhu Biao heard the word party, his face suddenly turned red again and he said:
"That pool party of yours was so ridiculous."
"Those women were not wearing any clothes at all. It was really indecent."
When Li Jin heard this, he immediately looked at Zhu Biao with disgust and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm obviously wearing a lot of clothes, okay?"
"They are regular housekeepers. They are just prostitutes and not prostitutes, okay?"
"Does their outfit count as wearing clothes?"
Zhu Biao gestured to his chest exaggeratedly and said speechlessly:
"Those clothes are more attractive than no clothes at all."
"Hahaha, it seems that the young master is also of the same mind."
Li Jin laughed. What Zhu Biao said was so pertinent. This was the effect he wanted.
"That kind of clothing is called a bikini, and I invented it."
"Since the emergence of this kind of clothes, the business of brothels in Shanghu County has skyrocketed."
"Now the young master feels the same way. It seems that heroes really think alike."
Zhu Biao's face instantly turned red. He didn't expect Li Jin to be so shameless.
He stood up and prepared to leave again, but he didn't know if it was his imagination, but Zhu Biao felt hot all over.
"Li Jin, what did you do to me?"
Zhu Biao was shocked and questioned Li Jin loudly. He thought Li Jin had some evil intentions towards him.
"Calm down, it's just a sauna!"
Li Jin acted very calmly and even took off his bathrobe, leaving only his boxer briefs, exposing his toned figure.
"Don't be so nervous. Steaming more often will be very beneficial to your body."
"I'll do some cupping for you later, wash your feet, and let you know what it means to decide to enjoy!!"
Zhu Biao turned around and left. He didn't want to enjoy anything!
But no matter how Zhu Biao pulled the door bolt, the door seemed to be welded shut and did not move at all.
