Song Wentang shouted angrily: "Why did the Governor's yamen requisition our food without our consent?! I am not convinced! I want to go to the Governor's yamen to seek justice!"
"That's right! Let's follow Mr. Song and go to the governor's office to seek justice!"
Seeing that Song Wentang was willing to stand out, the merchants got up one after another to support him!
"hehe......"
Lin Xu smiled faintly, no longer cared about these people, looked at the soldiers guarding the pier and grain ships not far away, and strode over.
"Who is the commander?"
When he came to the group of soldiers, Lin Xu bowed and asked.
Soon, a burly middle-aged man with a black face wearing a fifth-rank military uniform walked out. Seeing Lin Xu very elegant, he knew that he was extremely human. He suddenly remembered someone in his mind, so he bowed his hand.
, said politely: "In the lower Zhang Shun, he was in charge of the military affairs of the docks, what do you call him? But Mr. Lin?"
"That's right, it's Lin Xu. Under the order of the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Mr. Liu, I came to inspect the grain ships. Zhang Qianhu and his subordinates were temporarily under my control. This is Mr. Liu's handwriting."
Lin Xu took out a handwritten warrant and handed it to Zhang Shun.
After Zhang Shun unfolded, he carefully identified it and confirmed that this was Liu Mingju's order. His attitude became even more respectful: "I am obedient and willing to obey the orders of the gentleman."
"I'm going to check the grain ship and lead the way!"
"Sir, please!"
......
On the other side, Song Wentang stared blankly at Lin Xu to check the grain ship. For a moment, he felt at a loss, as if his body had been hollowed out!
"Young Master Song, let's go to the Governor's Office to seek justice!"
"That's our food, why should the governor's yamen requisition?!"
"Young Master Song, those foods are our lives and wealth! If they are requisitioned like this, will we drink the northwest wind?"
"Drinking the northwest wind is not the worst! The worst thing is being chased by creditors who are loan sharks!"
"Mr. Song, your father is a former governor of Jiangsu after all. Lord Liu doesn't look at monks and Buddha's faces. As long as you plead with love, he will definitely give face!"
"Yes, Mr. Song, please take us to the Governor's Office! You have thirty ships of food, the largest number among us. You can't watch so much food waste!"
Just now, Song Wentang said he wanted to go to the governor's office to seek justice, but he was just bluffing. In fact, he didn't have the courage at all!
His father was just taken to the capital by the Jinyiwei for a crime. What crime would he be sentenced to in the end? Whether he was beheaded or imprisoned? It is still unknown now. How dare he go to the governor's office to cause trouble!
Besides, the person acting in the Governor's office is not his father's former subordinate, but Liu Mingju, who was originally a bigger official position than his father!
Although he had never seen Liu Mingju, he had heard that Liu Mingju was the commander who led troops and was never ruthless in killing people. Even those vicious Japanese pirates felt cold when they heard Liu Mingju's name, let alone him!
However, after repeated instigation from these merchants, and he was reluctant to let the thirty ships of food be wasted, he finally gritted his teeth and took the merchants to the governor's office!
Half an hour later, Song Wentang and his group arrived at the Governor's Office.
Speaking of which, although his father has never served as the governor of Jiangsu, he doesn't know how many times he has been to the governor's yamen. He used to think it was nothing, and he would follow the teahouse when he came here. If those officials were the books.
Ah, if he is negligent, he will scold him at any time!
