Even though Jin Feng was at the dock, Tang Xiaobei asked Hong Taoping to write a memorial to defend the Ninth Princess.
Even if Hong Taoping had no political wisdom and no understanding of the ways of the world, he understood at this time that Tang Xiaobei meant not to let him go to Jin Feng.
Of course, Hong Taoping could also ignore Tang Xiaobei and go directly to Jin Feng.
But there will definitely be revenge from Tang Xiaobei later.
Just when Hong Taoping had not yet decided how to choose, Hong Er made the choice first.
Kneeling down towards Tang Xiaobei, he took the initiative and said: "Mrs. Xiaobei, I realize that I have made a mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment of the rod!"
"Second uncle, you..."
"Young Master, I was wrong this time, and I deserve to be punished!"
Hong Er still had some sense. Just now he felt that Jin Feng valued Hong Taoping, and Hong Taoping was here again, so he wanted to give Tang Xiaobei a try.
But Amei's slap woke him up.
At this time, he had already understood that Tang Xiaobei was determined to deal with him this time.
But he was caught by Tang Xiaobei.
If Hong Taoping continues to persist, even if Hong Taoping goes to Jin Feng and is exempted from the punishment of the stick this time, Tang Xiaobei is in charge of the financial power of Sichuan and Sichuan, and he can block the funds of the shipyard with just his hands. Once he is targeted by Tang Xiaobei
In the end, only Hong Taoping and the dock will suffer in the end.
After thinking about this, Hong Er kowtowed to Tang Xiaobei: "Madam, I am willing to accept the punishment of the rod, but the young master is completely unaware of this matter, and I hope that the madam will not punish the young master!"
"You've made me look at you now!" Tang Xiaobei finally lowered his head and looked at Hong Er: "But now that I have punished you, I will not take it back, and I am doing this for his own good!"
"For the sake of the young master?"
"You should know your young master better than I do. He and my husband are the same people. They like shipbuilding and don't like dealing with mundane affairs. If you let him be the person in charge of the shipyard, he will probably be deceived.
He is still the one who bears the responsibility!”
Tang Xiaobei said: "Removing him as the person in charge means that he can concentrate on his favorite shipbuilding business and no longer have to worry about shipyard affairs. If something goes wrong in the future, he will not be implicated!"
Tang Xiaobei's words seemed to be answering Hong Er's question, but they were actually meant for Hong Taoping.
Knowing Hong Taoping's character, Tang Xiaobei's words were very straightforward and did not mince words.
Sure enough, after listening to this, Hong Taoping looked thoughtful.
Hong Er also had a look of regret on his face: "It was me, lard, who deceived my heart!"
"You are indeed blinded by lard!"
Tang Xiaobei said coldly: "According to my husband's ability, I believe that more and more large ships will be launched from here in the near future. If you assist your young master in managing the dock as before, I believe Hong
The name of our shipyard will definitely become famous all over the world along with these big ships!
It's a pity that you were blinded by lard and did such an unwise thing just for a little profit!
When you encourage the elders of the Duo tribe to do this, do you think that my husband-in-law covets the Hong family dock? To put it bluntly, the whole of Sichuan and Sichuan belongs to my husband-in-law now. It won’t be long before the whole world will also belong to him. Do you think he will?
Come to rob your dock?"
Hong Er was willing to admit his mistake just now, mainly because he was under pressure from Tang Xiaobei, but now that Tang Xiaobei said this, he realized that he might really be wrong.
Tang Xiaobei said it right. With Jin Feng's ability and trust in Hong Taoping, if he continues on the previous path, the Hong Family Shipyard will definitely be famous all over the world, and Hong Taoping will also be famous in history.
If Hong Er does well, he might even leave his name in the history books.
But everything disappeared when he conspired with the clan elders.
At this moment, Hong Er finally realized the gap between him and Tang Xiaobei.
His vision was still too short-sighted. He only stared at the dock, and never thought about the larger stage.
Hong Er had been worried about Jin Feng robbing the Hong family's dock. Now he suddenly realized that in his eyes, the dock and the Hong family were everything, but in Jin Feng's eyes, what did a dock mean?
At this moment, Hong Er really regretted it.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. In the eyes of superiors, people who make mistakes are stained. No matter how much he guarantees now, Tang Xiaobei will never continue to use him.
"Seeing as you still have some brains, let me remind you again: after you go out, don't think about investigating who told me this, let alone take revenge."
Tang Xiaobei said: "Because he saved your life!"
Hong Er was immediately startled and broke into a cold sweat. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
At this time, he was really convinced and understood that Tang Xiaobei was not trying to scare him.
On his side, he conspired with the clan elders, and Tang Xiaobei knew about it. This kind of intelligence ability was terrifying.
If he and the clan leader really succeeded in their conspiracy, it would be impossible to hide what they did.
Tang Xiaobei might really kill him directly by then.
"Okay, you can lead the law enforcement team yourself!"
Tang Xiaobei waved his hand and gave the order to expel the guests.
Hong Taoping wanted to say something else, but was pulled away by Hong Er.
Qing Mulan looked at the backs of the two of them: "Xiaobei, are you just going to let him go?"
"Otherwise, what else could we do? Did we really kill him?"
Tang Xiaobei said helplessly: "Hong Er is a relative to Hong Taoping. This time the matter did not succeed. Twenty military sticks are enough. If I really kill Hong Er, Hong Taoping cannot accept it. Maybe he will
Give birth to alien thoughts."
"Now there is no guarantee that Hong Taoping will not have alien intentions." Qing Mulan said: "Logically, such a person can no longer be reused."
This is also a common practice for powerful people. If they find that their subordinates have done something wrong, they will either treat it as ignorance, turn a blind eye and continue to use it, or replace it directly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Hong Taoping doesn't know about it. I removed him from the position of person in charge, which is the limit of what I can handle. If I really drive him away, I'm afraid the local workers won't agree, and the normal work of the shipyard will definitely be affected."
will be affected.”
Tang Xiaobei said: "Now that my husband is in a hurry to use the boat, let him continue to work."
"Actually, I think Hong Taoping is quite diligent in his work. Unfortunately, like my husband, he likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he doesn't have my husband's vision, so he found an unreliable person to take charge of things."
Qing Mulan sighed, and then reminded: "Xiaobei, you must have offended Hong Taoping this time. You need to find someone to keep an eye on him to prevent him from having bad intentions."
"I understand," Tang Xiaobei nodded: "Let's go to the kitchen."
The matter has been dealt with, and it's time to tell Jin Feng the result.
I also need to ask Runniang to prepare some more kelp for use at night.
"Then I won't go with you," Qing Mulan shrank her neck: "Be careful, sir, he might be very angry."
