If the Salt Transportation Department colludes with Lin Tailai, it will be very detrimental to our Salt Inspectorate!"
Cai Yushi suddenly laughed "haha" several times, and all the anxiety he had accumulated for several days was swept away, and he said to Master Qian: "Lin Tailai is nothing to worry about!"
Master Qian was stunned and asked quickly: "Why did the proprietor say this?"
Cai Yushi also wanted to share the joy with his confidants, "I just received a letter saying that Shen Shoufu has submitted his resignation and has been behind closed doors for many days!"
Master Qian, who has a certain understanding of court politics, was also overjoyed. He asked again, "Why is this?"
Cai Shiding replied: "The Shen family built a garden in Taohuawu, Suzhou City, but the Shen family slaves were too overbearing and accidentally injured people.
The prefect of Suzhou was upright and arrested the slaves of the Shen family and prosecuted other members of the Shen family.
At this time, Governor Li of Jiangnan suddenly accused the prefect of Suzhou of embezzling five thousand taels of silver.
The courtiers were in an uproar, thinking that Governor Li had been instructed to deliberately frame the Suzhou magistrate.
In order to prove his innocence, or pretend to accept the court investigation, Shen Shoufu had to close the door and thank guests."
Master Qian finally understood why the proprietor was suddenly so relaxed.
Lin Tailai's biggest reliance was the support of his chief minister. As long as he could hold his own, the court would basically lean towards Lin Tailai.
For the same thing, there are two completely different results if there are people in the court and there are no people in the court.
This is why the proprietors became anxious after the mutiny occurred.
Cai Yushi added: "If the first assistant is not in the cabinet, then the second assistant will replace the first assistant.
However, the current assistant Xu Guo was from Huizhou and had close relations with Yangzhou salt merchants, so he definitely did not like Lin Tailai.
Another scholar, Wang Xijue, was a close friend of the literary leader Wang Shizhen from his hometown.
So in the cabinet, no one can speak for Lin Tai now.
We should take advantage of this time to get rid of all the troubles quickly!"
Master Qian was convinced that without the support and endorsement from the top, Lin Tailai would have been sent three thousand miles away based on what he did.
After thinking about it, Master Qian reminded him: "Shen Shoufu just stayed behind closed doors, and he was not dismissed from office.
Even if we settle the matter now, it will still be a bit troublesome if Chief Shen returns to the cabinet in the future."
Cai Shiding did not answer directly, but said with a strong hint: "Someone asked me to try my best to detain Lin Tailai in Yangzhou City before. I didn't understand what they meant, but now I finally understand."
What this implies is that our forces have long planned a conspiracy against the chief minister. The current situation is a natural outcome and is irreversible.
If you can understand it, just understand it. If you don't understand it, forget it.
Cai Yushi further analyzed: "To say the least, Shen Shoufu is too busy taking care of himself now, so how can he have the extra energy to take care of Lin Tailai?
Even if he returns to the cabinet, he must be cautious in the short term and not dare to bend the law for personal gain to protect others.
All in all, at least in the recent period, Lin Tailai's good days are over."
Master Qian and Yushi Cai have a mutually exclusive relationship. They have been running around for peace recently, and their mood is quite depressed.
When I heard the good news today, I immediately felt a lot more relaxed and said with a smile: "It's too late and the opportunity can't be missed. Please tell me how to do it, the proprietor!"
Cai Shiding then ordered: "There are two things at present. First, spread the news about the chief minister and shake everyone's confidence in Lin Tailai!
If you lack confidence in Lin Tailai, who would dare to cooperate with him again?
Second, you go to Commander Wei Wan of Yangzhou and persuade him to take care of himself and take back the rebels first!
Then, tell everything about how you colluded with Lin Tailai, and it doesn't matter if you put all the blame on Lin Tailai!
You also need to remind him that if there is no one to protect the court and he is just accused of condoning mutiny, he, the commander, will not be able to bear it!"
Master Qian wrote them down one by one, and then asked: "What about the Salt Transportation Department?"
Cai Yushi sneered: "The capricious clown is of no importance at this time!"
Lin Daguan, who just came down from Shugang, actually also received the news.
The Second Master of Shen Yong and Jiashen sent a slave from his hometown named Shen Zhong to Yangzhou to find Mr. Lin.
When Shen Zhong saw Senior Official Lin, he immediately begged: "Something happened in Suzhou City. My second master asked Senior Official to return to Suzhou as soon as possible!"
After Lin Daguan asked a few questions, he sighed: "Why would something happen without me?"
Shen Zhong said anxiously: "Second Master, I don't know what to do. I really need help from senior officials!"
Official Lin asked people to take Shen Zhong down first to settle down, and suddenly he saw Lu Junbi hurriedly stepping into the study.
"Have you heard about the news circulating outside?" Lu Junbi said a little annoyed: "I knew earlier that it would not have been delayed between the Procuratorate and the Yunsi. I didn't expect such a change at the top."
After Lin Daguan had the upper hand, both the Salt Inspectorate and the Salt Transportation Department had the idea of ​​betraying each other to ensure safety.
Lu Junbi, as the spokesperson of Lin Daguanren, raised the price back and forth between the Procuratorate and the Salt Transportation Department in order to demand more benefits.
Therefore, what these two yamen fear most is that Lin Daguan will file a complaint with the court.
Now that Shen Shoufu is gone for the time being, they must no longer be afraid of sitting in the hall, and may even beat him up, so what else is there to talk about?
Lin Daguanren said: "I really didn't expect that such an accident would happen during the period, but it's not a big problem."
Lu Junbi quickly asked: "In this situation, what are the instructions for sitting in the restaurant?"
Official Lin seemed to have just remembered, "Didn't I file a complaint? The Procuratorate has never given a reply. If you go to press tomorrow, how will they decide?
Also, I haven’t seen Commander Wan of Yangzhou Guard for several days, please go see him on my behalf!”
Lu Junbi said in astonishment: "I'm the one going? Then why are you sitting in the restaurant?"
Lin Daguan said: "Yangzhou City is unstable. It is safer to hide in Shuicicang. After all, they are all our own people from Suzhou."
Damn, I don’t know what to write anymore. I feel like there’s nothing to write about.
