Lin Ya is not the kind of cold-blooded, ruthless person.
It’s not like Jiang Long, who must avenge his enemies!
But now, there is something that has to be decided by Lin Ya.
"Madam, what do you plan to do with the people in the car behind?"
The people Sang Zhu mentioned were the secret spies sent by the Lin family to Ningyuan County to covertly coordinate, monitor, and plan to assist Lin Ya, Du Juan and others.
Now that the situation has reversed and Lin Ya wants to go back to the Lin family in person, these people can no longer let her stay in Ningyuan County.
Sang Zhu led several Jingfu guards to capture them all and tied them to a carriage at the back.
In addition to the people sent by the Lin family, one of them was a guard of the Jing family.
This guard has been fascinated by beauty and bribed with money.
Hearing Sang Zhu's question, Lin Ya thought for a while and replied: "Take them back to the Lin family. Go talk to them and let them testify about what the Lin family did. We are not going back this time to fight with the Lin family."
, I want my brother to inherit the position of head of the Lin family.
Once they spoke out, the Lin family felt even more at fault.
We have an advantage in terms of momentum."
If it is a tit-for-tat confrontation with no mercy, and a sword-and-gun confrontation, there is no need to keep these people.
But Lin Ya and Lin Zhi both have the blood of the Lin family in their bodies, so naturally they cannot really turn against the Lin family.
It's not as simple as killing with one knife and paying for it with blood.
Then by keeping these people, your side will be more reasonable and you will have an extra bargaining chip.
The Lin family is a wealthy local family, and even if Lin Zhi becomes the head of the family, he will be involved in many things in the future.
And Lin Ya is already the young lady of the Jing family, so it is impossible for her to stay in the Lin family to help.
Then it is necessary to win over a group of Lin family members.
Of course, when taking revenge, they will also suppress a group of Lin family members.
Thinking that her biological father would be involved, Lin Ya couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
There is no love between father and daughter. The love between her and her father has been wiped out by her father's indifference and alienation over the years, as well as his father's indifference to his younger brother.
It was embarrassing because after all, he was her biological father.
In this era, filial piety was valued, and the court also valued it very much.
When the Ministry of Civil Affairs evaluates officials every year, it will also examine the officials' moral character and reputation in detail.
If Lin Ya retaliates too harshly against her father, she is worried that it will be detrimental to Jiang Long's career.
Naturally, Lin Ya didn't know the current situation of Jing Mansion.
Jiang Long would not tell Lin Ya before the time came.
Madam Jing felt that Lin Ya was still young, too immature, and could not bear too much responsibility on her shoulders.
"Du Juan, just let her go?"
Sang Zhu was a little reluctant, and she didn't like Du Juan, who was greedy for money and snobbish.
She felt that with Du Juan's behavior, dying a hundred times would be enough.
"Forget it."
A blue face suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ya's eyes. She was startled for a moment, then shook her head gently. She suddenly felt a little tired, "I'll take a rest."
"yes."
The mulberry spider fell silent.
In Lingtong County, in a shop, the shopkeeper has a sad face.
These days, the waiters who used to greet customers with smiles all the time have lost their enthusiasm.
When he saw a guest coming in, he just pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a dry smile.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe came in with two boys.
"Boss, you're finally here!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it, and he hurriedly came up to greet you.
The middle-aged man was dressed gorgeously, but the hem of his robe was covered with dust. He was obviously on the road, and he didn't show any politeness to the shopkeeper. He just frowned and said urgently: "What on earth happened? Tell me from beginning to end."
Once again.”
"Yes!" the shopkeeper immediately replied: "That's what it is..."
Just yesterday, several government servants suddenly came in outside the door and went straight to the shopkeeper, wanting to buy a store.
Of course the shopkeeper would not agree.
The owner saw that Lingtong County was developing and had good momentum, so he bought it at a high price.
The shop mainly deals in cloth, ready-made clothing, and embroidery business.
The owner estimates that it won't take long for the store's prices to increase several times. Of course, the owner's purpose is to operate and do long-term business, not to make profit from the price difference.
But the shopkeeper didn't expect that the several government servants who came in were very arrogant.
Screaming, you have to sell it even if you want to sell it, you have to sell it even if you don’t want to sell it!
No matter how good-tempered the shopkeeper is, he is still a little unhappy.
No need to ask around, the boss is a well-known figure in the entire Wangsha City.
A mere government official from Lingtong County also wants to embarrass his own family?
It was only after he reported his employer's name that he realized that the other party was a servant serving in the Wangsha City Government Office.
And he told all the details about his employer.
This is obviously prepared!
The shopkeeper is now anxious.
After the government officials left, they immediately sent someone back to deliver the message.
The owner of the store is named Xu Huaicai. The Xu family is quite prestigious in Wangsha City. They have always had the habit of marrying local officials. However, in the past ten years, the Xu family has not given birth to a daughter, and all the babies have been boys.
The Xu family also favors sons over daughters.
But it’s not okay if they are all boys!
A daughter has the advantages and uses of a daughter. As long as she is married to some officials and protected by officials, who would dare to bully the Xu family?
The Xu family is an authentic businessman. When they made their fortune, they did not have any land.
Is a businessman.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants ranked lowest.
It is already too late to buy land after you have made a fortune.
This is something that the ancestors of the Xu family did not consider carefully.
The Xu family was originally from a poor family. One man went out to make a living. Because of his good temperament, he got along well with a businessman and became friends. Later, he opened a shop with cloth on credit.
This person is shrewd, honest, and his business is booming and out of control.
But although business is good, the price of farmland is extremely high.
If you use the money you earn to purchase land before it is truly developed, it will affect your current business.
Not to mention that in the beginning, he bought goods on credit. Although business was good, he was still short of money.
The income from the shop is very high, so of course this person is not willing to spend money to buy land.
How much money can you make per year by buying farmland?
But as the Xu family's reputation grew and they were labeled as businessmen, it would be too late to buy farmland at this time.
The ancestors of the Xu family also regretted it afterwards, but how can everything really be perfect?
There were difficulties at that time.
Although the Xu family was rich, their status was low, so they had no choice but to marry an official, otherwise it would be the end of the family fortune one day if a corrupt official took advantage of it.
But who would have thought that the Xu family could not give birth to a girl in the past ten years?
All with handles!
When other families give birth to boys, they are all happy and do not want girls.
The Xu family wanted a girl but couldn't get it.
Without the ability to marry officials and without the protection of a backer, the Xu family has long been in decline.
Squeezed out by merchants with strong backing.
Although it is still not decadent, no one is too afraid of the Xu family anymore.
It is precisely because of this that Peng Xi focused on this cloth shop with an excellent location and a prosperous business.
With Pang Chengan as his backer, Peng Xi has always acted unscrupulously.
Why do you bully and occupy ordinary people's property?
There is not much money to be greedy for.
Peng Xi always targeted those big families with wealth but no backers.
"Those government officials reported the name of Mr. Peng Xipeng, the chief minister of merit."
Peng Xi?
Xu Huaicai frowned tightly when he heard this.
The Xu family's ancestral home and most of their properties were located in Wangsha City. Xu Huaicai was naturally familiar with Peng Xi. The shopkeeper here had been working in surrounding counties, so he did not recognize Peng Xi, Wei Yong and other government officials.
If he were the steward of the Xu family's business in Wangsha City, he would have recognized Wei Yong and others at a glance.
"Boss, I have heard of Peng Xi's name from other people before. This person seems..." The shopkeeper looked worried.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Huaicai interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Let me be quiet first!"
The shopkeeper shut up immediately.
However, after a long time, Xu Huaicai still couldn't come up with any good solution. The shopkeeper had to speak again, "They only gave them two days and said they would take over the store after two days. If there is no goods in the store by then,
After moving, they will treat it as a gift from the owner."
"What a beautiful idea!" Xu Huaicai was furious and swung his sleeves fiercely!
After all, the Xu family is one of the richest families in Wangsha County. How can they be allowed to be manipulated by others?
And if he admits to being a coward this time, there will definitely be more corrupt officials in the future who will pounce on him like hungry wolves trying to tear him apart.
A strong family background and huge property must have matching strength to protect it.
Otherwise, the gold and silver in your hands will only become the source of trouble.
As a descendant of the Xu family, Xu Huaicai has always set his sights on others, and since he became one of the heads of the family, he has become even more self-reliant.
How can you be willing to be bullied by life?
It's just that now the Xu family doesn't have a strong backer, and the officials they know are just face-to-face friendships.
It is impossible for these officials to stand up and offend Peng Xi on his behalf.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
But I really want to ask someone to come forward, but I don’t know how much money it will cost. Instead of doing that, I might as well give the store to Peng Xixi.
"Are there any police officers coming from Lingtong County?" Xu Huaicai thought for a long time and asked.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
Xu Huaicai's eyes suddenly lit up. He had heard someone say that Jing Jianglong and Pang Chengan seemed to be at odds with each other.
Otherwise, why would Pang Chengan only give a little support and funding when Jingjianglong was making waves in Lingtong County?
Xu Huaicai himself found this statement credible.
Jing Jianglong's father, Jing Xian, was a military commander with both civil and military abilities.
Pang Cheng'an was a civil servant, and he vigorously promoted education and the way of sainthood, and looked down upon generals in the army. For this reason, he often had conflicts with the generals who were good friends with Jing Xian in the past.
As Jing Jianglong's son, the connections left by Jing Xian are the resources available to Jing Jianglong.
For this reason, it is natural that Jing Jianglong and Pang Chengan are at odds.
There are only county officials, not county government officials. Doesn't it mean that Peng Xi is doing something secretly?
Xu Huaicai stood up and walked around the store. In this case, he could use Jing Jianglong's help to resolve this difficult matter.
"How much do you know about Lingtong County Magistrate?" Xu Huaicai spent most of his time in the county taking care of business. He had heard a lot about Jiang Long, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes or had any real contact with it, so it didn't count at all.
Find out more.
The shopkeeper became more energetic after hearing this.
Immediately, he poured the beans into the bamboo tube and told everything he knew.
