Su Jin turned to look at Lang Shaodong, reached out to pull him up, and sighed: "Lang Shaodong, you look like this, making outsiders think that I am persecuting you, but you should be happy."

Lang Shaodong thought in his heart: Didn't you force it?Otherwise, why would I beg you for mercy.

"Su Dong's family, you didn't force me, I did it voluntarily..."

"This is the only sentence. This matter will benefit you and will not harm you. You will understand this in the future."

"Yes..." Lang Shaodong got up and said, "But I don't know what you want to do next? I can't do things that are too difficult."

Su Jin smiled and said: "It's very simple. I want you to do three things. The first thing is to use your relationship with the Chamber of Commerce to keep an eye on Zhu Shiyong and everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, and report their words and deeds to me. I want to take them down. You must know yourself and the enemy, and you must not grope blindly."

Lang Shaodong scratched his head and said, "But... how could they say something confidential in front of me? How can I find out useful news."

Su Jin said: "This is the time to test your ability. They exclude you because they are worried about you; I can give you a trick. From now on, you have to show favor to them, such as Zhu Shiyong , not only can't you show jealousy because he beat you, but you have to come to apologize sincerely, scold yourself for being ignorant of current affairs, and show complete repentance; It is a bad behavior at home, you should take the initiative to visit Zhu Zhifu with a gift, in order to dispel their wariness towards you."

Lang Shaodong thought in his heart: Damn, I am going to be a grandson. If I am beaten up, I have to come to the door to admit my mistakes. My face is completely gone.

"But Su Dong's family, just like this, I'm afraid they may not be able to gain their trust. It may be very difficult for them to confide in the bottom of their hearts immediately."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Of course, attitude is the premise. Of course, you have to take practical actions to make them trust you; I have prepared four heavy gifts for you. You immediately take the gifts to Zhu Shiyong and the three presidents of the chamber of commerce. Come to the house to repair it; I have also prepared a super gift for you, once this gift is given out, you will immediately gain their trust. ()”

Lang Shaodong said in surprise: "What super gift?"

Su Jin beckoned and said, "Come here with your ears!"

Lang Shaodong quickly lowered his head and stretched his ears, Su Jin whispered a few words in his ear, Lang Shaodong became more startled the more he listened, his legs became weak, and he sat down on the chair, speechless for a long time; The pain on the bed was completely ignored.

"Su Dong's family... Are what you said true?" Lang Shaodong swallowed and said.

"Will I tell lies? Now you understand that I am saving you? If you are involved in this matter, how many heads can you keep?"

Lang Shaodong nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand, now I really understand; did the prefect Zhu really write a letter to inform the bandits?"

Su Jin hissed, and cautiously ran to the entrance of the hall to look around. Seeing that there was no one around, he turned around and scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about? Can you say this out loud?"

Lang Shaodong hurriedly apologized, and said in a low voice: "Su Dong's family, I have a doubt."

Su Jin said: "If you want to ask, just ask. Since we cooperate, I won't let you be kept in the dark. I'm not the Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Shiyong."

Lang Shaodong was a little moved, and said softly: "You want me to tell Zhifu Zhu that the letter he wrote has fallen into the hands of Ouyang Zhongcheng, and Chen Laogen, who sent the letter, is also in the hands of Ouyang Zhongcheng. Did they tip off the news?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "It is indeed a tip-off, otherwise how can there be a good show?"

Lang Shaodong blinked his eyes in a daze and didn't understand; Su Jin laughed and said, "How do you think Zhu Shiyong will react when he finds out?"

Lang Shaodong frowned and thought hard, his face suddenly turned pale, he shook his head and said, "I dare not speculate."

Su Jin said: "It's fine if you don't dare to speculate, but you don't need to speculate. What Zhu Shiyong wants to do is his business. You only need to send this big gift package to complete the task."

Cold sweat dripped from the tip of Lang Shaodong's nose, and he couldn't help thinking that Zhu Shiyong dared to send a letter to the bandits, letting them rob Yangzhou of grain. Lang Shaodong didn't know about this at all; The matter is also unknown.

Assuming that this matter is true, what is Su Jin's intention to reveal the news to Zhu Shiyong?Isn't this a reminder to Zhu Shiyong to be on guard?Isn't he going to bring down Zhu Shiyong?Why did you suddenly help him again?

Lang Shaodong was puzzled. It seemed that Su Jin would not tell his true intentions, but one thing was correct. As long as the news was true, telling Zhu Shiyong the news would be a great achievement, and he would be able to Gain Zhu Shiyong's trust; but the way of telling must be careful, you must not say it bluntly, this matter is a matter of life and death, you must pretend to be vague and do not understand the inside story, otherwise you will be holding Zhu Shiyong's handle; The tail can be held in the hand, but the tail of a tiger must never be grasped.

Lang Shaodong made up his mind, his face calmed down a little, and he asked in a low voice: "Su Dong's family, what if Zhu Shiyong asks me where I got this news from?"

Su Jindao: "Of course I can't say that I told you. You can say that your buddy and my personal companion accidentally found out when they were drinking in a restaurant. In short, you decide how to explain the source of the news. If you want me to tell you about such things If you teach them hand in hand, it will appear that you are incompetent."

Lang Shaodong cursed inwardly, but there is really no need to teach this matter, and the source of the news can't hide it, so it's a fart.

"The third thing I want you to do is to find a way to invite the owners of several car dealers in Luzhou to have a drink at Hefenglou. I might as well tell you that people from the chamber of commerce and the Yamen are all guarding the car dealers." The monitoring is because I am afraid that I will contact the car dealer; because when the grain was transported, Zhu Shiyong ordered the car dealer not to rent the car to the imperial army who escorted the grain, in order to delay the time of transporting the grain and let me work in Yangzhou. If it’s a mess, I need to get a statement from the owner of the car dealership, so that I can convict Zhu Shiyong in the future, and if this is done, you will have made great contributions; after completing these three things, you can rest easy.”

The more Lang Shaodong heard it, the more startled he became. He didn't expect that there were so many things in Luzhou that he didn't know. Lang Shaodong was both annoyed and thankful. What was annoyed was that the Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Shiyong never took themselves seriously. I don't know anything about what happened underground; fortunately, I didn't participate in it, otherwise Su Jin would never be able to sit here and talk to me, and I might be just like Zhu Shiyong, Tang Jiyuan and others in the dark Waiting to die here.

"Don't worry, Su Dong's family, I will do my best to handle these matters well, but I have a small request."

"Please say."

"If Zhu Shiyong finds out that I'm being used by you, he's afraid he'll kill me. I'll ask Mr. Su to protect me. They can do anything."

Su Jin laughed and said: "I will give you an authorization. Once you feel that your life is in danger, you can come to me immediately, and I will protect you. I have nearly two hundred guards and horses on hand to protect a little boy." It's not a problem for you."

Lang Shaodong was grateful and thanked repeatedly.

Su Jin said indifferently: "Since you said your ugly words first, I will also put your ugly words in my head; I have already told you the most core confidential matter, and it is up to you if you want to find your own death; The imperial envoy came down to thoroughly investigate this matter, a person like you will be easily crushed like a small bug, if you don't believe it, you can gamble your life; there are many people in Yangzhou Mansion who are a hundred times smarter than you, The backstage is a hundred times tougher than you, but they are lying in the mud and rotting with maggots because they are on the wrong team and following the wrong people; you should cherish this opportunity I gave you."

Lang Shaodong actually understood this truth a long time ago. Su Jin's words were just superfluous. When what Zhu Shiyong and others did without telling him was exposed before his eyes, Lang Shaodong knew that Zhu Shiyong and everyone in the chamber of commerce were doomed.

Fortunately, I did not become one of the victims. Su Jin took the initiative to give her a thigh to hug her. This is already favored by God; Whether you can keep it or not depends on your own performance.

Su Jin ordered Xiao Zhuzi to take down the four prepared packages from the car and hand them to Lang Shaodong: "I have done my best to you, and even the presents have been prepared for you, so you don't need to spend a penny; that big package The inside is 30 taels of gold, and these three are 30 taels of silver, which is enough for you to sell."

Lang Shaodong clicked his tongue, not because of such a large amount of money, but because of Su Jin's careful arrangement. This gift was prepared from the very beginning, which shows that Su Jin actually knew that he would give in. Jumping for a long time has actually been in other people's calculations.

Until this time, Lang Shaodong finally understood why this Su Ji's young master's family was so prosperous. Compared with him, he was like a shining star in the sky, while his family was just a cold lump of shit on the ground.
