Chapter 148 Treating the symptoms but not the root cause
After Lin Tailai looked around, he saw that no one jumped out to question him again, so he was sure in advance that this wave of trials was stable.
The county and provincial examinations are different from major examinations such as the provincial examinations. They are open to the public, and the names on the test papers are not even clear.
The rules are all set by people, and good and bad are all of the same nature. Openness has the disadvantages of being open, but it also has advantages.
For example, today, if this quarrel had not been made publicly, if my name appeared on the government examination list, I would definitely be accused of being a shady person again.
But after having such a public quarrel, he was completely justified. He must be on the government examination list, otherwise it would be a shady case.
There were so many ingenious problem-solving skills displayed on the spot. If you can't even pass the government examination, what is this if it's not a shady plot?
Even if Magistrate Zhu no longer wants to see him, as long as he is still a bureaucrat with basic rationality, he will not be guilty of such obvious shady suspicions, because his efforts are not proportional to his gains.
After all, he, Lin Tailai, is a troublemaker who has support, the ability to make trouble, and the courage to make trouble.
When Lin Tailai was walking outside the examination room, he suddenly thought of something and said loudly to Wang Yusheng:
"I heard that your Wang family in Dongshan has many business talents. It is known as Wuzhong's richest business and is the leader of the Dongting merchant gang. I guess there are already many people who want to dislike me.
If you are jumping out to embarrass me today because you are filled with righteous indignation, then I advise you to follow the example of your great-grandfather Wang Wenke, who was eloquent, concentrate on your studies, and stop meddling in other people's business!
If someone instigates you to jump out, then I advise you to beat him to death when you go back!"
The Dongting Merchant Gang originated from the Dongshan and Xishan Mountains of Taihu Lake. The area along Taihu Lake is the basic base of the Dongting Merchant Gang.
Now Lin Tailai has extended his tentacles along the Xujiang River to the coast of Taihu Lake, and he has to engage in customs duties and market management, which are all businesses that pluck the hair from industry and commerce.
So it can be foreseen that there will definitely be some friction with the Dongting Merchant Gang in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yusheng from the Wang family in Dongshan jumped out today, and Lin Tailai couldn't help but think a little more.
Afterwards, as soon as Lin Daguan left the dragon gate of the examination courtyard, another old man covered in silk, with gray beard and hair, and a dozen strong men blocked the way.
The old man who arrived uninvited did not even show any courtesy and said directly: "I am from Dongshan."
After only saying five words, Lin Tailai suddenly slapped him with his backhand, directly hitting the old man's face.
The next moment, the old man fell on his back and hit the ground heavily. His face was visibly swollen and he was already unconscious.
Official Lin wiped his hands and cursed: "Do you really think I, Lin Tailai, won't hit the old man?
What kind of old cat or dog dares to act pretentious in front of me? Next time, let me find someone who can talk!"
The cohesion of this group of people is still very strong. After the old man was beaten, the other ten strong men were not afraid and instead pressed forward. I don't know if they were Lian Jiazi.
"Who dares to be rude!" Someone shouted at this time!
Then I saw the guardians on the left and right of Lin Siguan, namely Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, each with ten people, surrounding him from both sides.
After the Western Expedition, the hall expanded its recruitment, and the number of the guardians on the left and right, the leaders of the Four Vajras, increased from five to ten.
Therefore, when Lin Tailai travels, in addition to the Zhang brothers, he is often accompanied by about twenty people.
He yelled at the dozen or so strong men in a arrogant and powerful manner: "Poke your mother's front and back doors! There are more people than there are!"
Zhang Wen asked Lin Tailai for instructions: "How to deal with these people?"
Lin Tailai waved his hand and casually ordered: "Everyone interrupts one."
As he was talking, Lin Tailai suddenly spotted Xiao Feng Menglong's father, Doctor Feng, among the crowd outside, looking at him eagerly.
It is not surprising that Doctor Feng appeared here because his son took the government examination.
But Doctor Feng was surrounded by several suspected colleagues, all of whom were carrying medicine boxes and looking forward to it.
For some reason, Lin Zuiguan felt that he was too kind, so he decided to carry out his kindness to the end and changed his words:
"I, Lin Tailai, have never bullied others by relying on the power of numbers! Let's spare them this time!"
There is nothing wrong with this. Lin Tailai has never bullied others by relying on the power of numbers. Most of the time, he has used the small number to hit the large number.
Zhang Wen immediately praised loudly and said: "It is really noble to sit in the restaurant!"
Lin Daguan left the city from Xumen and came to the entrance of Shijiaxiang Hall. In the front yard, he met Yu Gongjing, one of the Four Great Vajras.
Now that the power is expanding too fast, the other three Vajras have been sent out to take charge, leaving only Yu Gongjing to guard the headquarters.
Lin Tailai asked respectfully: "Has Lao Gao come back?"
A few days ago, Huang Xiaomei and Mrs. Fan were at war with each other again in Mudu Town. Lin was busy preparing for the imperial examination, so Gao Changjiang was forced to voluntarily mediate.
Yu respectfully replied: "I'm back, just in the side hall!"
Just as they were talking, Gao Changjiang also came out of the room to welcome him.
Lin Tailai sat down in the National Accounting Department and asked Gao Changjiang: "How is the situation over there?
I see that you are completely unscathed, so you must have failed?"
Gao Changjiang replied enthusiastically: "Sitting in the palace is too underestimated as a military advisor!
Fortunately, I lived up to my mission this time and successfully resolved the confrontation between Huang Wuniang and Fanzi!"
Lin Tailai said a little disbelievingly: "How did you successfully mediate?"
Gao Changjiang said calmly: "It's very simple, I called these two empresses over!
Then we sat down and had a casual chat, and we succeeded in persuading peace!"
After Lin Tailai was stunned for a moment, he slapped the table and said, "Gao Changjiang! Are you telling me fantasy stories to entertain me?
If we are called to negotiate together, even I may not be able to escape unscathed, but you can still come back intact?"
Gao Changjiang quickly shouted: "It's absolutely true, how can such a thing be false?
It’s just that this negotiation location is quite special, it’s Luziwei in the Thirteen Capitals and Five Maps.”
In Suzhou today, most of the rural areas outside the cities and towns are marked with place names such as Du, Tu, and Wei.
Lin Tailai didn't react for a moment. Where is this? Why does it sound familiar?
Gao Changjiang waited for a while, but when he saw that Lin Tailai had no response, he reminded him carelessly: "This is your home."
Lin Tailai said in confusion: "My home? Which one is my home? Which one is my home?"
Gao Changjiang continued to add: "To be more specific, it's your father's place.
I called the two empresses to your father, and then started negotiating and persuading them to make peace."
Lin Tailai: "."
Wu County’s Thirteen Capitals, Wutu Luziwei, isn’t that the location of your household registration?
Should we praise these two women for pretending to be virtuous and respecting their elders when meeting their fathers?
"Look, things have been settled like this." Gao Changjiang asked for credit: "When will I, the chief accountant of the Nanhao Market Management Office, take office?"
Lin Tailai said angrily: "Don't the clubs have rules? Family members are not allowed to be involved in Jianghu affairs!"
Gao Changjiang replied neatly: "But I think the conflict between the two parties is not a political matter, but a family matter."
Lin Tailai criticized again and said: "You are treating the symptoms but not the root cause. They are just trying to calm things down for the sake of my father's face!"
Gao Changjiang responded angrily: "If I had that great ability and could cure the root cause of the conflicts between the two empresses, how could you still sleep peacefully while sitting in the restaurant?"
