Lin Tailai said confidently: "It's up to me!"
Then he shouted to the gate: "Master Li Hou! Your son Li Zongcheng has always been at odds with me. He smashed my boat, injured my people, and tried to arrest me!"
Now that I have been sent to your door, why are you as timid as a mouse and dare not accept me?"
But no matter how much Lin Tailai shouted, there was no response from the garrison.
Lin Tailai could only helplessly say to Mr. Zhang: "I tried my best."
Mr. Zhang had nothing to say, so he could only escort Lin Tailai to the military headquarters in the east of the city.
After reporting the same thing, he soon received instructions from Wang Shangshu:
“When the headquarters sent a message to look for Lin Tailai, it was just a search and had no intention of arresting him.
But a few days ago, someone went to the Ministry of Punishment to sue Lin Tailai, so Lin Tailai is the defendant of the Ministry of Punishment and can be sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
General Zhang's status was too low and he had no ability to oppose the instructions of the masters.
So we could only continue running, escorting Lin Tailai to the Criminal Department in the north of the city.
When I got to the Ministry of Punishment, I reported it again and got a response very quickly.
The Ministry of Punishment believes that the principle of whoever arrests should be responsible should be followed.
It was the Jingwei officers and soldiers who captured Lin Tailai and brought him back to Nanjing, so it should be taken over by the garrison office responsible for the dispatch of the Jingwei officers and soldiers.
Lin Tailai couldn't help but blocked the door of the Ministry of Punishment again and shouted: "Mr. Wang Yanzhou! I heard that you have officially taken up the post in the Ministry of Punishment?
Now that you have accepted the case against me, why don’t you dare to take me into custody?”
The response to Lin Tailai was still silence, without any reply.
Lin Tailai muttered: "What kind of world is this? Even leader Wang and Lao can tolerate it so well."
Seeing the result of running to three government offices, Mr. Zhang went crazy.
He also guessed that the old man might be unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable!
Does the majestic capital of Nanjing still need a little boss like him to step forward and take on everything?
In fact, Mr. Zhang knew very well in his heart that the hero in front of him, who had set off a storm of tax resistance across Suzhou Prefecture, was a hot potato and could not be kept in his hands.
He is just a small checkpoint manager and cannot get involved in deep political affairs.
You know, after the news of the tax resistance in Suzhou reached Nanjing, the price of food has tripled!
At present, Nanjing City officials import one million stone tax grains every year, of which about 400,000 come from Suzhou Prefecture.
Once the 400,000 yuan is missing, there will be no place to make up for it.
Although there are still grains stored in various Wei warehouses and Taicang of the household department to support them, what will happen after the grains are used up?
Everyone knows that in the whereabouts of Suzhou Mansion’s money and grain, the first priority is to ensure the white grain and gold and silver used by the royal family;
The second is to protect the grain used by the imperial court; the third is to protect the expenses of local government and garrison.
Fourth is Nanjing City. Because the team of Nanjing City has no real power and cannot affect the interests of Suzhou officials, the priority is relatively low.
Therefore, once the Suzhou government collects insufficient money and grain, it will most likely suspend delivery to Nanjing City, giving priority to the capital and local expenditures.
Therefore, the slogan "Stop paying Nanjing grain" seems to be unworkable because there is no separate tax category of "Nanjing grain".
But it can be realized from another perspective through the "self-regulation" of the power operating mechanism.
The Nanjing Grain Market also responded honestly, with grain prices rising threefold.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and food prices have always been the information that rulers need to pay most attention to. Once food prices rise sharply, it is often accompanied by famine.
Therefore, the entire Nanjing officialdom was shaken by the Suzhou Prefecture's tax resistance turmoil and the skyrocketing food prices in Nanjing City.
When things have developed to this point, how can Mr. Zhang, who knows how much he has, dare to get involved?
His only thought now is to get Lin Tailai away from him as soon as possible!
For a moment, Zhang Ba always wanted to ask Lin Tai, "Can you turn around and run away immediately? He can pretend not to see you."
Little did they know that at this moment, several government offices who had received the news were cursing, which heartless bastard took Lin Tailai back to Nanjing?
Whoever takes in the "criminal" Lin Tailai is equivalent to taking over a heavy responsibility.
Taking over this responsibility means either trying to calm down the situation or sharing the blame with the officials in Suzhou City.
Mr. Zhang asked Lin Tailai in despair: "What should we do now?"
After careful consideration, Lin Tailai replied: "There are so many yamen in Nanjing, why not try one by one? I think there will always be someone to accept me, right?"
Mr. Zhang: "."
What is the difference between this kind of performance art and neurosis? Do you, Lin Tailai, regard this as a tour?
Three well-connected yamen refused to accept people, and other yamen with no connections were even less likely to accept people.
Lin Tailai said again: "Then you can try to find Wei Guogong again?"
Wei Guogong is a descendant of Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He is the first aristocratic family in Nanjing and often serves as the official position of Nanjing's garrison minister.
The Lords with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty were headed by Wei Guogong, and they were both special and transcendent existences in Nanjing.
If there is anyone in Nanjing who dares to accept Lin Tailai, it is only Wei Guogong.
