Lin Xu was not idle either. While Sun Chong and Xia Dahai went to find the mother and daughter, Lin Xu found Zhou Changmin's housekeeper Zhou Kui and asked him about the powerful litigants in Suzhou Prefecture.
During this period, although Zhou Changmin had not returned from Beijing to report on his duties, Lin Xu had already had a heated fight with Zhou Kui, because he knew that Zhou Kui could be the chief steward of the governor of Jiangsu, and he was definitely a powerful man with all-round skills. He was very knowledgeable about Jiangsu affairs.
, especially regarding matters involving Suzhou Prefecture, this person is absolutely well-connected.
Having a good relationship with him will make many things much easier.
In addition, Zhou Kui must be Zhou Changmin's absolute confidant. As a feudal official, Zhou Changmin must be busy with official duties on weekdays, so he can't see him just because he wants to!
And Zhou Kui was the window through which he met Zhou Changmin or communicated with him.
In fact, before Zhou Changmin came to Beijing to report on his work, he already knew that Lin Xu might come to Suzhou in the near future, so he specifically told Zhou Kui to receive Lin Xu well.
Of course he did not dare to neglect his master's orders.
At first, he didn't take Lin Xu too seriously. He just thought that Lin Xu might just be the son of an old friend of his master, and there was no deep relationship with him.
However, Zhou Kui is a thoughtful person, and his information network is very well-informed!
So, he specifically inquired about Lin Xu's situation to make complete preparations!
As a result, he was stunned by this inquiry!
It turned out that Lin Xu was not only on good terms with his master, but was also the guest of Liu Mingju and Liang Shijie, the two big bosses in the southeast!
Liu Mingju even gave Lin Xu the rank of a fifth-grade guerrilla general, and also gave him a quota to form an army.
However, what made him feel most incredible was the notoriously unruly and willful eldest daughter of the Yan family in Beijing. It was said that this little girl could not even handle the powerful Mr. Yan Ge, but she was made submissive by Lin Xu.
, and also became a female soldier under Lin Xu!
How unbelievable!
After learning this information, Zhou Kui admired Lin Xu from the bottom of his heart, and naturally paid great attention to Lin Xu's arrival!
When Lin Xu was dating Zhou Kui, he did not regard Zhou Kui as a servant at all, but treated him as a friend. He invited him to have a big drink every now and then, and often gave him some valuable gifts!
Zhou Kui was very touched. This was a feeling of being respected!
Therefore, Zhou Kui not only treated Lin Xu warmly, but also truly regarded him as a friend!
At this moment, Lin Xu and Zhou Kui were sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea and chatting.
After listening to Lin Xu's narration, Zhou Kui immediately cursed: "Ye Rongsheng is really no good! He is the best at bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. In front of the common people, he is like a fierce spirit, but if he is in front of the truly powerful people, he will immediately grovel.
He has become a gray grandson and is extremely flattering!"
"Who says it's not the case! This kind of person is the most disgusting!"
Lin Xu also cursed!
Zhou Kui is a very measured person. He knows what he can and cannot do as Zhou Changmin's chief steward. For example, he is very disdainful of Ye Rongsheng's behavior, but he just scolds people and gives out ideas.
It's okay, but he will never do the specific things!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but that his status determines that he represents his master in everything he does. In other words, if it is not arranged by the master, he must not do it without authorization!
"Mr. Lin, you want to use this matter to put pressure on Ye Rongsheng, which is a good way! But please allow me to pour a basin of cold water on you. Even if you win the lawsuit, I'm afraid you can't do anything to Ye Rongsheng!"
