King of Song

Chapter 163 Let's Talk

In the Qinghe Hall, Lu Shan asked in surprise, "Did Zhang Ziheng lend food to Lin Zhao?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said: "I borrowed it, and I have already delivered it, but there are not many!"

This guy has been with Zhang Ziheng for a long time, but it doesn't mean that he is absolutely loyal.From the fact that he persuaded his boss to hoard, drive up grain prices, and make black-hearted money, it can be seen that this guy has bad intentions and is a greedy and profit-seeking master!

This shopkeeper Wang is indeed the case. He saw that other stores are stockpiling food and raising prices. The boss makes money, and the shopkeepers can follow suit and share more money.Especially for a big shopkeeper like him, it's easy to make a fortune from it.Unexpectedly, he met a boss who was a little old-fashioned and showed great kindness, so he never had such an opportunity.

As time went by, this feeling was very unpleasant, so I moved my mind, and began to feel a little bit tempted.

After Lin Zhao visited Guangji Food Company last time, the Lu brothers paid more and more attention to Zhang Ziheng, and naturally wanted to know his every move.

Zhang Ziheng couldn't get close, so he could only think of a way. Shopkeeper Wang was a successful breakthrough.So they arranged for people to approach shopkeeper Wang, and finally pulled him over step by step.Take advantage of its money-greedy characteristics and buy it off!

Lu Ji was able to confirm that the source of food for the Meng family was Changping Cang rather than Guangji, and it was the shopkeeper Wang who took the initiative to inform him.

Today, Zhang Ziheng asked him to deliver food to the Meng family. This guy thought it was a major discovery, so he rushed to report the news.

However, this message itself seemed very important, but it made the Lu brothers a little confused, even inexplicable.

Shopkeeper Wang was sent away quickly. As long as this kind of person is given money, what can't he do?It's just a tool to use.The Lu brothers have now added up!
"Brother, according to what the surname Wang said, what does Lin Zhao use to order food over there? A drop in the bucket, it's not enough!" Lu Shan has been very puzzled!
Lu Ji also fell silent, this trick is indeed a bit incomprehensible!

Lu Shan guessed: "There are two possibilities. Either Lin Zhao didn't use too much food, or Zhang Ziheng was playing tricks. The food actually supporting Lin Zhao is definitely more than this!"

"It's hard to say, Lin Zhao has always been secretive in his work, and I really can't figure out his intentions." Lu Ji shook his head and said: "From the beginning to the end, we are all guessing, and there is no real evidence at all, so what happened? Hard to say!"

"This...Brother, are we just watching like this? Doing nothing?" Lu Shan always felt that this matter was not easy, so he was always worried!
"But what can we do?" Lu Ji shook his head lightly: "I can't find the weakness of the place, and I don't know what the other party is doing? How can we talk about countermeasures? Knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can win all battles, but we only know ourselves and have a deep understanding of others. nothing!"

Inadvertently, Lu Ji also had a bad premonition in his heart!Lin Zhao did not understand the so-called knowing oneself and the enemy.In fact, he may not know everything about his side, at least his judgment of the situation is somewhat wishful thinking.So some things are destined...

"Forget it, just wait and see what happens. Erlang and Saburo are coming. They may bring more news, maybe they will have a more accurate judgment!" Lu Ji felt that it would be bad to act rashly now.

"That's right, I heard that officials from the Third Division will be arriving in Hangzhou soon, let's wait and see!"

Zhang Mingyuan came very quickly. Because of his special identity, he revealed his identity when passing through Huainan.The news of going south quickly spread to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Zhao was not completely caught off guard. Even if the time was short, it gave him a chance to make up for it.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Mingyuan was even more anxious, almost non-stop, and went straight to Qiantang County, Hangzhou.

Before that, Zhang Mingyuan was just a small detainee officer in the third division. He was not well-known, and no one cared at all.But now he is completely a man of influence in Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, and many people in Hangzhou are paying close attention to his every move.

His existence is related to the interests of many people, even their lives.Zhang Mingyuan never thought that he would have such a high degree of attention today.

As soon as he arrived at Hangzhou Guanyi, the Zhizhou Zhao Yan invited him to a banquet in the state government office to clean up the dust.Although his official position is not high, but he is appointed by the emperor, and he represents the third department, so the courteous treatment of local officials is understandable.However, Mr. Zhao Bian's qualifications and status don't seem to be necessary...

Some people find it strange, and many people praise it, saying that Mr. Zhao Bian is humble!
Zhang Mingyuan was a little flattered. Zhao Bian was a person who blocked the government in Kaifeng, and his status and influence were extraordinary. If he was treated so favorably, how could he not show face?

Even though he really wanted to rush to the Changping warehouse in Qiantang County immediately, he had no choice but to obediently attend the banquet first.Although he had the intention of avenging public and private revenge, he couldn't make it too obvious.Zhang Mingyuan's emotional inspection has lost its suddenness, but there is nothing he can do about it. I hope he can achieve something by then!
Zhao Zhizhou pulled down his old face just to buy more time for Lin Zhao, and everything was well prepared.

When Zhao Bian was entertaining Zhang Gou's detainee at the state yamen, County Magistrate Lin was not idle, and was patrolling Changping warehouse, doing the final inspection.

Lin Zhao has been the county magistrate for almost a year, and Chang Pingcang is the most important thing. Naturally, he must have his own confidants, especially today, if he wants to keep important secrets, he must be more careful.

As a result, some people were sent home on vacation, and the rest were reassuring, or they were loyal servants transferred from the Meng family.When the craftsmen hammered down the granaries one by one, Lin Zhao showed a satisfied smile as each granary was filled to the brim.

"How about it? Yaofu and Bozhou, can they confuse the real with the fake?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

Yu Xuan chuckled: "I understand now, I never thought that the young master had a plan, and it seems that he can indeed cheat the world!"

Su An was also amazed. In fact, this method is very simple, but no one dared to be so arrogant before, and dared to tamper with such an important matter as Changping warehouse.Mr. Lin is not so creative, nor is he so courageous!
Lin Zhao saw Su An's surprised eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Think about it carefully, what can I do to hide from the emperor Zhao Xu?Simply let you see it for real.Anyway, I have no selfish intentions, right and wrong are in the hearts of the people, so you can figure it out for yourself!

"On the surface it seems to be fine, but inside... I hope this chapter will not be too difficult for the detaining officer." Lin Zhao sighed softly and said, "Be careful, you must remember to adapt to the situation tomorrow, as long as you get through this One pass, we will win!"

At this moment, someone came and whispered something in Lin Zhao's ear, and County Magistrate Lin was shocked.Although Chang Pingcang is nervous, there are some things that have to be done in a spare time!

When Lin Zhao came to Meng's House, Meng Ruoying was already waiting in the front hall!

"That person woke up and kept yelling to see his benefactor. He seemed very anxious and wanted to leave, so he notified you because he had no choice!" Meng Ruoying apologized. She knew that Lin Zhao was very busy these days, so she didn't dare to disturb her easily.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "It's okay, everything is ready there, it's not bad to come out for a while!" Then he smiled and gave the beauty some encouragement.

"Ok!"

"By the way, are you ready to explain everything?" Lin Zhao asked softly before going in. This time the matter is important and the division of labor is clear, and Meng Ruoying will also participate in it.

Meng Ruoying said: "The money has been prepared and is sufficient. I have rented several warehouses in the city. Everything that needs to be prepared is in place, so you can rest assured!"

"That's great!" Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Remember, snap up the products as soon as the price drops. We have lost too much money and must make up for it! Let them spit out as much as they swallowed."

"Yeah!" Meng Ruoying nodded, her face was full of concern, and she said worriedly: "You...be careful!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he walked to a room in the backyard.Meng Ruoying still stood where she was, looking at Lin Zhao's back, her eyes filled with concern and worry.

Lin Zhao went in to meet someone, the boss of Qianjiang Sanjiao!

Since he was revived that day, he has been secretly letting him recuperate in the Meng family's courtyard.Meng Ruoying knew that this person was related to the sinking of the cargo ship and the deaths of dozens of boatmen including Lao Sun, and he was a crucial clue and witness.Even though he knew he might be an enemy, he still took good care of him.

Today, after Boss Qian woke up, he kept yelling that he wanted to leave. Although he was seriously injured, he insisted very much.Meng Ruoying had no choice but to send someone to inform Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao originally planned to talk to Boss Qian after he fully recovered, but now it seems that it has to be earlier, and there will be a gap!Chatting with him, it's also good to know, when the good show is over, it's time to settle the score!
Walking outside the room, I heard someone shouting: "Let me go..."

"No, your injury has not healed, so you can't leave!" The young attendant kept trying to dissuade him, but the effect didn't seem to be obvious.

"Who is your master? I can't pay respects to Mr. Xie in person, and I must always know his name. I will try to repay you in the future!"

"Sorry, I don't dare to call the Patriarch's name..."

Boss Qian was aggressive and kept asking questions, but the young attendant was obedient and refused to answer directly.

After a while, Boss Qian became a little anxious, and when he was about to lose his temper, an imposing young man pushed the door away.

"Master!" The young attendant heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Lin.

Lin Zhao waved his hand, and the young attendant left as if he had been pardoned!
Boss Qian didn't know Lin Zhao, he only knew that he was a rich man, and asked inquiringly, "Did you save me?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you for saving my life. I don't know your son's name? How should I call him?"

"Lin Zhao!"

"Ah!" Boss Qian hesitated for a moment, and when he realized it, he suddenly exclaimed!
"Don't be surprised or confused. I am Lin Zhao, the magistrate of Qiantang County. I can find you. You must know many things in your heart. Let's talk about it!"
