After making up his mind, Lin Daguan and his men walked towards the gate of Yi Laoyuan.
During these few steps, Lin Tailai recalled the history of Yi Laoyuan in the original time and space, which had something to do with the separation of the Anhui and Jiangsu families.
During the Kangxi period in another time and space, the 200-acre Humble Administrator's Garden had been divided into two or three small and medium-sized gardens, so the 80-acre Yi Lao Garden became the largest garden in Suzhou City at that time.
Jiangnan Province, which evolved from the Southern Zhili Province of the Ming Dynasty, was divided into two provinces, Jiangsu and Anhui.
At that time, the Jiangsu Chief Envoy Department was located in Suzhou, and the southern half of Yilaoyuan was directly used to build the government office.
It can be seen that the area of Yilao Garden is large, and half of Yilao Garden is enough to serve as the chief envoy's office.
As for the northern half of Yi Lao Garden, it gradually disappeared into the long river of history with the decline of the Wang family, leaving only the sighs of the Wang family's descendants at the ups and downs of the world.
Later, during the Republic of China, Suzhou City opened a new city gate called Kinmen to ease traffic pressure, which should also be here.
It can only be said that this location is really suitable for building a city gate. No matter who comes to investigate and design, they will choose this place.
Thinking of this, Lin Daguan snorted coldly, the Qing Dynasty could do it, the Republic of China could do it, but Lin Tailai couldn't do it?
Your Wang family is also a giant family in the Dongting Merchant Gang. When the Xi family organized the coalition, how dare you say that you didn't know anything about it?
Not to mention that the Dongshan Lu family, which is closely related to the Wang family, also sent out manpower!
When they arrived at Yi Lao Garden, they knocked on the gate. Lin Daguan and his uninvited guests were not invited inside, but were led to the front yard inside the gate.
Not long after, Wang Yusheng, who had competed with Lin Tailai for the top spot in the government examination, came out.
The main residence of the Wang family is in Dongshan on Taihu Lake, so it is called the Wang family in Dongshan, while Yi Lao Garden is a separate property.
Since Wang Hao, no one in the Wang family has passed the Jinshi examination. Including Wang Hao's eldest grandson, Wang Youren, they all relied on Wang Hao's kindness to serve as officials.
Wang Yusheng was Wang Youren's son, and he was also the most talented person in the Wang family's generation. He was highly regarded and was arranged to live in Yilaoyuan in the city to facilitate his interactions with scholars.
The young man had not yet finished cultivating his Qi. Wang Yusheng, who was in his twenties, grimaced when he saw Lin Tailai.
"What's the point of your sudden arrival today?" Wang Yu said in a strong voice.
Lin Tailai replied: "For the sake of our friendship with the same case, I came here to give you a great blessing to the Wang family."
Wang Yusheng didn't want to believe a word of Lin Tailai's words.
He looked at the more than 20 thugs behind Lin Tailai, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Sending people to the West is also giving merit?"
Lin Tailai pretended not to hear and said to himself: "I happened to pass by your Wang family's Yi Lao Garden today and found something extremely inappropriate. Yi Lao Garden is obviously substandard!"
Wang Yusheng felt baffled. Lin Tailai came over and asked, "What are you doing?" Is it possible that you still want to demolish Yi Laoyuan?
Lin Tailai pointed to the west city wall and said: "The city wall was built for safety and defense. Building such a large garden close to the root of the city wall is obviously a huge hidden danger!
It can be assumed that thousands of men and horses can be hidden in the garden. In an emergency, these thousands of men and horses can directly set up ladders from the garden to climb the city wall and seize the city head! "
Wang Yusheng's anger gauge was full in an instant. Why did Lin Tailai's nonsense sound so irritating?
He couldn't help but rebuke: "That's nonsense! I, the Wang family, have been blessed by the country, how could I have such evil intentions?"
Lin Tailai responded: "Think about Cao Cao and Sima Yi, they both said they had no intention of becoming emperor!
Even if your Wang family doesn’t have any evil intentions, you should always avoid suspicion, right? "
Wang Yusheng didn't want to continue talking, so he turned away the guests and shouted: "Get out!"
But Official Lin hadn't finished speaking yet and didn't want to leave, so he had a friendly exchange of martial arts with the Wang family's slaves.
After a while, more than twenty slaves of the Wang family were allowed to lie on the ground and rest.
Then Officer Lin led another group of people, surrounded Wang Yusheng, and said sincerely:
"As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is bad for the ears but good for the deed. For the sake of the Wang family, you'd better hear me out."
Wang Yusheng found that there was nothing he could do at this moment except staring at Lin Tailai fiercely.
Seeing that Wang Yusheng agreed to continue the exchange, Lin Tailai said seriously:
"Anyone with a clear eye can see that an eighty-acre garden should not be built in a place close to the city wall.
I don’t know why the government approved it in the first place or why it gave this land to your Wang family. I just don’t know why. "
Gao Changjiang, who was in charge of city affairs and followed to watch the excitement, heard this and said:
"At that time, the ancestor of the Wang family was a very famous bachelor of Ge Lao. Wouldn't it be very simple to build a garden in his hometown?
Suzhou City is densely populated, and there probably can't be such a large open space anywhere except near the city wall. "
Lin Tailai suddenly understood, said a long "oh", and said repeatedly: "No wonder, no wonder!"
He pointed to the west city wall again and said to Wang Yusheng: "It has been six or seventy years, and no one has corrected such a large illegal building. I am really shocked."
I don’t know what others think, but the old subordinates like the Protector and Gao Changjiang all feel familiar and the formula is familiar.
Unknowingly, they took the moral high ground again, created a reputation for justice, and put the other party in the scapegoat.
Everyone in the world thinks that the strongest point of Zuoguan is his martial arts, but only he knows best that the strongest point of Zuoguan is actually his weaving ability.
Wang Yusheng finally spoke again and sneered: "What? Do you want to demolish the entire Yi Laoyuan?"
Lin Tailai replied: "You can't say that. I just said it when I came in, and I wanted to give you a meritorious deed for the Wang family.
You see, the traffic flow in and out of the city in the west of Suzhou is huge, Changmen and Xumen are extremely congested, and the people are miserable.
If a new city gate is opened here, wouldn't it benefit one party and benefit the future?
I think the Wang family should accept such a great merit, which will also eliminate the non-compliance of the garden. "
Wang Yu said: "."
Are you, Lin Tailai, sick? In order to build a new city gate, eighty acres of the Wang family's garden must be demolished? Why do you have the nerve to open your mouth?
Lin Tailai said: "If it doesn't work, just split it into half."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Wang Yusheng refused without even thinking.
There is no need to ask his father for permission. No one in the Wang family dares to agree to demolish Yi Laoyuan, no matter how good the terms are in exchange!
This is the residence of Wang Hao, the most glorious ancestor of the Wang family, in his later years. It is a symbol of the glory of the six generations after the separation of the Wang family from the Lu family!
This is the place where Wang Hao socialized with Wu Kuan, Shen Zhou, Yang Xunji, Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Zhu Zhishan!
Lin Tailai said calmly: "If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed for it. The great merits of the Wang family are given to you for free. If you don't want it, you will be punished.
More than ten years ago, when Huating Prime Minister Xu Wenzhen retired to his home and illegally occupied 200,000 acres of farmland, he felt that no one could force him to clear the land. "
Faced with this naked threat, Wang Yusheng said angrily: "Then you give it a try!"
"Just try it!" Lin Tailai said tit for tat, and waved to his men.
Then he moved his hands again, but did not rush into the depths of the garden.
They just smashed the door and the flower beds and gardening inside the door to pieces, and also tore off the door panel of Yilaoyuan's door.
Xueshi Street next to it is a main road with many pedestrians coming and going. When they saw the movement at the gate of Yi Laoyuan, people immediately gathered around to watch.
In broad daylight, the door of the residence was smashed, and Wang Yusheng was already flushed with anger.
As the most outstanding and potential scholar in the Wang family today, Yi Lao Garden is likely to be managed by himself in the future!
Now that your appearance is being smashed like this, where should you put your face?
And Wang Yusheng immediately understood what it means for a scholar to encounter soldiers.
He said with great resentment: "Our Wang family will never give up!"
Official Lin responded even more arrogantly: "Your Wang family acquiesced and allowed the Xi family to attack me, and the Lu family, who is closely related to your Wang family, even went into battle personally. This debt has not been settled for a while. Should I just let it go?
To be honest, it's not that I'm arrogant, but given the current situation, your Wang family can't defeat me at all, so I probably can only take the official position.
But if you want to file a complaint, don't go to the county government, that won't work; don't go to the governor's procuratorate, that won't work either.
So I suggest that you better go to the government office to file a complaint, and you may have a slight chance of winning. "
After finishing speaking, Lin Daguan and more than 20 followers walked out of Yi Lao Garden and walked away.
Looking back at the shabby gate of Yi Laoyuan, Lin Daguan shook his head and muttered something that no one could understand: "Can I, Lin Tailai, be inferior to Da Qing?"
On the way, Lin Tailai asked his eldest brother Lin Shilai again: "Look at how I handled things today. Did you learn anything essential?"
Boss Lin thought about it and answered several times, but he never got Lin Asi's approval.
Lin Tailai asked Gao Changjiang again: "What do you think is the essence of today?"
Gao Changjiang replied confidently: "The essence of today is what he said to Wang Yusheng while sitting in the hall - you'd better go to the government office and file a complaint!"
Lin Tailai laughed a few times and praised, "You have finally made some progress!"
After that, Wang Yusheng returned to the main house in Dongshan and reported to his father Wang Youren what happened in Yilaoyuan.
Needless to say, the Wang family must react to this immediately, otherwise where will the face of a century-old family be?
But after the father and son discussed it, they discovered that the fastest way to deal with it was to file a complaint with the government.
Moreover, although Magistrate Zhu is currently on hold, there is certainly an urgent need to collect Lin Tailai's accusations for future use.
So going to the government office to sue Lin Tailai at this time can be regarded as hitting it off with the prefect.
According to official rules, prefects rarely hear cases directly.
There is a referee in charge of criminal names in the government office. Generally, the referee will hear the case in detail and then summarize it to the prefect.
But after the camps were divided that day, Liu Tuiguan of the government directly stated that he could not recover from his illness and did not join Zhang Siwei's gang of minions.
Therefore, the complaint filed by the Wang family against Lin Tailai was sent directly to the prefect's desk, and no one else dared to take it anyway.
The eldest son of the Lin family continued to survey the terrain with the craftsmen. This time he went to the southernmost tip of Changzhou County, which was very close to Wujiang County in the south.
The nominal ancient Sanjiangkou is located in this large area, and the specific location is not important.
Anyway, we just need to find a suitable place in Changzhou County to name it, and then start the river dredging project.
However, problems were also encountered in the areas surveyed, which aroused dissatisfaction from Wujiang County.
One is that the ancient Sanjiangkou is within Wujiang County; the other is that the river project in Changzhou County is likely to affect Wujiang County.
Therefore, officials from Wujiang County came to the scene and clashed with the survey team on the county border.
Lin Ada, the director of Lin's engineering team, looked at the thirty thugs sent by his fourth brother, then looked at the other side, and then ordered: "Hit!"
Then he quickly added: "Only hit the officials and government officials on the opposite side, don't touch other people!"
Looking at the Wujiang County official lying on the ground, Lin Ada thought for a moment and said harshly:
"No county government can take care of this matter today, and neither will the governor! If you don't accept it, you'd better go to the government office and file a complaint!"
After personally observing Lin Tailai's experience in handling demolition matters, Lin Ada, although a little unclear, imitated it very well. After all, they are brothers.
His understanding is very simple. If he hits ordinary people on the other side, then the people will go to the county government to file a complaint.
But if someone from the other county government office is beaten, the county government office will have no choice but to file a complaint with the government office.
So this time we let ordinary people go and picked the officials and government servants who represented the county government to fight.
Wujiang County is very close to Suzhou City and was merged into the urban area in later generations.
The Wujiang County government office would certainly not be able to tolerate such a thing, so the government office immediately received another official document of accusation from Wujiang County.
People who follow Lin Tailai find it very strange. Lin Tailai seems to be deliberately forcing others to complain to the government?
Why does it sound a bit like deliberately giving the enemy camp an excuse? No one can understand why.
Even Magistrate Zhu himself felt something was wrong and was wondering whether to interrogate Lin Tailai first and conduct a test?
There are so many people who pay attention to Lin Tailai, but when it comes to who pays most attention to Lin Tailai, the second master of the Shen family can definitely be ranked in the top five.
Ever since the welcome ceremony for Governor Zhao, Mr. Shen had been as low-key as if he had disappeared. He felt extremely disappointed.
Compared with Lin Tailai's fearless spirit, he felt that he was too cowardly and cowardly.
As a son of the Prime Minister, he was not as strong as any outsider when faced with the predicament that his father was about to lose power.
Lin Tailai dared to openly slander Zhang Siwei by name and directly draw a line between ourselves and the enemy, but he, Shen Yongjia, did not have such courage!
In the past few days, Mr. Shen put out the greatest energy to watch Lin Tailai's every move, but every time he finished watching, he felt even more disappointed.
As the leader of the Renewal Society and Lin Tailai's indispensable backer, he found that Lin Tailai seemed to have no use for him at all.
While Lin Tailai was openly promoting "Zhang Siwei's gang of minions" outside, he could only sit at home and drink to drown his sorrows.
Lin Tailai no longer seemed to need his support for anything he did.
Lin Tailai caused trouble, but he didn't come to ask himself to solve it.
Lin Tailai has completely ignored him these days. Is he already dissatisfied with himself as the leader of the alliance?
Mr. Shen couldn't help but fall into the ultimate philosophical thinking. What is the meaning of his own existence?
I will remember to make updates, but it also depends on whether I have enough ideas and time!
