Chapter 63 The official law is like a furnace! (Part 2)
Lin Tailai didn't know how many gardens there were in Suzhou City today, but it was conservatively estimated to be at least a hundred, which was not the number at its peak.
This shows how popular the trend of building gardens is in Suzhou today, which is no less popular than drinking flower wine.
As long as you are a celebrity or a member of a mixed cultural circle, no matter whether you have money or not, it seems that if you don't have a garden, it doesn't match your status.
Thinking of this, Lin Tailai suddenly felt that if he wanted to develop in an all-round way, wouldn't it be fashionable to have a garden?
So Lin Tailai asked the old and crooked Zhang Youyu for advice: "Is there any way to get a garden with cultural heritage with minimal investment? The price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient?"
Although Zhang Youyu is crazy, he certainly knows his stuff. His elder brother Zhang Fengyi's Qiuzhi Garden is one of the famous gardens today.
Zhang Youyu glanced at Lin Tailai and said, "You are a Jinbu, but you still want to start a garden? How much money do you have?"
Because he was begging for advice, Lin Tailai swallowed the word "Jinbu" and simply said: "I still have one or two hundred taels on hand for the time being, and I can borrow another two hundred taels."
Zhang Youyu nodded: "Although the garden is a bit lacking, it's not bad. I know a place that suits your desire to be both cheap and showy."
Professor Lin was overjoyed: "I hope the old man can give me some advice!"
Zhang Youyu held up his sleeves with his hands and looked at the sky, "Look at your performance."
When Lin Tailai was still about to pester him and ask questions, suddenly a steward from the Xu family came running over with a few servants.
It has to be said that the Xu family has been at ease for too long, and has lost the ability to respond quickly to danger, and has become too slow up and down.
Professor Lin and Zhang Youyu had been talking about garden art for a long time, and then someone in charge came out to deal with it.
If Professor Lin really wanted to force his way in, he might have already reached the bedroom of Yin Qing, a famous prostitute in Jinling.
Lin Tailai showed his cards and shouted directly: "Stop talking nonsense! I was ordered by the tax envoy to find Yin Qing, a woman from Jinling. Take me to see her!"
The steward said contemptuously: "You are just a servant, what do you want to do with her?"
Lin Tailai scolded: "What qualifications do you, a dog slave, have to inquire about government affairs?"
The steward also said angrily: "Not just any servant can come to the Xu family's place to run wild!"
Lin Tailai sighed: "I originally wanted to get along with your Xu family as an ordinary official, but what I got in exchange was to be treated lightly. Okay, I won't pretend anymore."
Before he finished speaking, I saw Professor Lin whipping his right leg and kicking his left leg. The wooden railing of the first small bridge in the West Garden Gate was broken on the spot!
The steward's expression changed drastically, and he was speechless for a moment.
As if everything was a basic operation, Lin Tailai said calmly: "The bridge in the West Garden is not as strong as the Yinma Bridge in the city."
Wu, the leader of the Changzhou County government office, had no choice. As a local government official, he could only take the initiative to be a peacemaker and said to the frightened steward:
"We don't have to go in now, so as not to disturb the inside. But within a stick of incense, I would like to ask the steward to call the person here for questioning.
Otherwise, if Iron Fist and Golden Whip really want to attack directly, and then fight from the West Garden to the East Garden, the trouble will be out of control, and it will be difficult for you, the manager, to explain to the master.
Is it worth it to you for a girl from Jinling?"
Lin Tailai was a little surprised. The professional quality of this officer Wu was not bad. He had a set of words that would not be out of date in hundreds of years.
The steward left his servant here to see what was going on, and ran in quickly.
Not long after, I saw a group of servants, surrounded by a man and a woman, coming out of the inner courtyard behind the bamboo forest.
The man is about thirty years old, he can be said to be majestic and well-dressed, and he looks like a luxurious person at first glance.
The woman has picturesque features, an outstanding temperament, and is young, probably around seventeen or eighteen.
Anyway, he agreed to give it to Zhang Youyu, so Lin Tailai didn't bother to take a closer look at this woman, mainly because he was a little tired of beauty in recent days.
Zhang Youyu laughed a few times and introduced Lin Tailai in a low voice: "This man is my good nephew Lu Shiren!
He was good friends with Fan Yunlin, the Xu family's adopted son-in-law, and he probably borrowed the Xu family's West Garden.
And the woman must be Yin Qing, also known as Xiaoma Xianglan, the two of them must have spent the night together last night."
Lin Tailai took a few steps forward and said loudly to the man in fine clothes: "Is it Xu Yunlin in person?"
The greeting made everyone in the audience confused. Who the hell is Xu Yunlin? Is there someone named Xu Yunlin?
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "I heard that Mrs. Xu's servant Tai Shigong has a son in Suzhou who is responsible for taking care of family affairs. Isn't he Xu Yunlin?"
Team leader Wu quickly reminded: "The person you are talking about is Mr. Fan! He just married into the Xu family, but he did not change his surname."
Fan Yunlin is the seventeenth generation grandson of Fan Zhongyan and the clan brother of Fan Yuru, the sister-in-law of Heyi Hall.
The family was in extremely decline, so Fan Yunlin married into the Xu family and married Xu Taishi's only daughter, Xu Yuan.
Lu Shiren's sister is called Lu Qing, and together with Fan Yunlin's wife Xu Yuan, they are known as the two most talented women in Suzhou, and they are close friends.
Lin Tailai seemed to suddenly realize it, and once again clasped his fists at the man in Chinese clothes and said, "I made a mistake! It turned out to be Fan Yunlin in person!"
The man in the splendid suit turned a little darker. Team leader Wu once again tried to smooth things over and said, "This is Mr. Lu in front of me! Shiren!"
Lin Tailai slapped his forehead and said angrily: "I'm so confused! But I really can't tell the difference between Lu Shiren and Fan Yunlin. Whose turn was it to sleep with Yin Ji last night?"
Everyone: "."
I haven't heard such inhuman words in a long time.
Zhang Youyu quietly took a few steps back and sighed to the Zhang brothers: "I finally understand why you are practicing martial arts for self-defense while sitting in the palace. Otherwise, how could he survive?"
The Zhang brothers still worked very hard to maintain Lin Zuoguan's character to the outside world, and immediately replied: "We in Zuoguan were really not good at practicing martial arts in our lives, and we loved studying literature the most."
Lin Tailai's words were so unpleasant that Yin Meiren was so angry that her face turned pale.
She turned around and said coquettishly to Lu Shiren: "This bitch can't spit out ivory. I'm going to knock out his teeth!"
Lin Tailai approached Team Leader Wu and said, "She threatened me in front of you, a county official. Can you take care of her?"
Team leader Wu was really helpless, so he shouted at Miss Yin: "He has a ticket on him, and he is an official official, so he cannot make mistakes!"
The subtext is, you are a Leji woman, don’t act stupidly and cause trouble!
Lu Shiren snorted coldly and threatened: "When I submit a report to the government, we will deal with this rogue carefully!"
Lin Tailai said nonchalantly: "Whether it's Wuxian or Xushuguan, you can file a lawsuit wherever you want! Go quickly, I'll be waiting!"
However, Lin Tailai was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Shiren and shouted to the back of the bamboo forest: "Xu Yunlin, come out, I know you are hiding and watching in the dark!"
Captain Wu felt very tired, wiped his sweat and reminded: "It's Fan, surnamed Fan!"
Professor Lin corrected his mistake when he realized it, and continued shouting: "Fan Xu Yunlin! If you don't come out again, I won't be polite!"
The steward of the Xu family quickly stopped and said, "Master Fan is not here!"
Zhang Youyu shook his head and said to the Zhang brothers: "Aside from being brave, you guys don't look like members of a gang at all."
The Zhang brothers asked in surprise: "Why did the old gentleman say this?"
Zhang Youyu then commented: "You are missing something despicable and sinister. Look at him, he doesn't even know how to rob a girl!"
Zhang Wu muttered: "That's not a folk girl either."
Zhang Youyu said disdainfully: "Don't care who she is, just watch you sit in the hall and yell at her for a long time, it's of no use at all!
I'm worried when I look at him, I'm better than him at all!"
Lin Tailai finally looked at Beauty Yin, "I wanted to give the owner of this place a face, but he didn't come out, so I had to come with me, Beauty!"
Lu Shiren stepped forward and protected Yin Meiren with great courage: "What reason do you have for taking Yin Ji away? Tell me if you have something to say!"
Lin Tailai scolded: "Go away! The official is asking the person involved, it's none of your business!"
Then Lin Tailai continued to say to Yin Qing: "When you arrive in Suzhou City, the Xushu Customs Office determines that you crossed the border illegally and should be punished!"
Yin Meiren got the clear support of Lu Shiren and became bolder again, "What a joke! Jinling and Suzhou are both the territory of the Ming Dynasty. How can I become a stowaway from Jinling to Suzhou?"
I’m afraid it’s because you, a bitch like you, have lost face, so you got angry and fabricated the slander!”
Leader Wu of Husband’s Gate shook his head and stayed out of the matter.
Yin Meiren's stupid words made him feel the same way. If you don't seek death, you won't die!
He could only say that this beauty was too young and didn't even know what it meant to be an official.
Among all the tickets, for the government officials, the law enforcement tickets are the most precious and the most maneuverable!
She thought that law enforcement tickets could be issued at will? As long as the tolerance can convince the official to issue such tickets, it means that he is absolutely sure to get things done!
Although he was pointed at the nose and scolded as a bitch, Lin Tailai was not angry at all and responded calmly:
"Why did the imperial court set up tax customs in the important places of Guan and Tianjin? All commercial goods entering Suzhou through Xushuguan must pay taxes here!"
Yin Meiren retorted: "I didn't carry any goods! It's none of your business!"
"Hahaha!" Lin Tailai suddenly laughed three times, pointed at Yin Meiren, and said extremely harshly: "Isn't your prostitute yourself a commodity?"
Hearing this, everyone else subconsciously exclaimed, this idea is a bit strange.
Only Yin Meiren was immediately filled with shame and anger, her face turned red, and she held a breath in her chest, almost out of breath.
Lin Tailai sneered repeatedly, "What are goods? Things that are used for profit trading are goods, and taxes should be paid!
Whether you are a performer or a prostitute, aren't you making a profit from your business? Shouldn't your goods pass through Xushuguan and pay taxes?"
According to the current trend, young famous prostitutes like Yin Meiren are usually favored most of the time, and they even have the right to pick customers. Those who don't like or disdain will not be entertained.
Talking and laughing, talking and talking with scholars but not having sex, I am used to being treated as a noble lady, how could I have ever encountered such a naked person who directly compared her to a commodity!
Lu Shiren also felt that he was being humiliated, so he couldn't help but shouted: "Shut up!"
Lin Tailai didn't care about other people's mood and said aggressively: "The ancients once said a word called business woman!
What does a business woman mean? She is a commodity! You Leji women, don’t forget your responsibilities!
Yin Qing came to Suzhou not to sell himself and make money? But he dared to maliciously evade inspection and sneak into Xushuguan, and his crime will be increased!"
Yin Meiren was in a daze, feeling that she had been insulted repeatedly.
It’s as if a voice keeps nagging in my ears: You are a commodity, you are a commodity, you are essentially for sale!
Her mood collapsed due to humiliation, and the beauty screamed uncontrollably: "What on earth do you want!"
Lin Tailai said with an upright face: "Our Anletang has a slogan, paying taxes in accordance with the law is the obligation of every citizen of the Ming Dynasty!
You must know that the official laws are very strict and cannot tolerate your deliberate tax evasion! I am looking for you today just to enforce the official laws!
If anyone is dissatisfied, we will appeal to each level, and we are not afraid of taking this tax evasion lawsuit to the imperial court!
I believe that the Holy Emperor’s Cave Zhaozhujian will definitely approve my actions!”
I have already finished 6,500 words today. I will finish another chapter tonight to reward the leader of the Silver Alliance.
