After settling the matter of inviting Zhou Changmin to attend the opening of the store, Lin Xu was ready to talk about putting pressure on the Ax Gang. However, this matter could not be mentioned too abruptly. He had to lay the groundwork first and then mention it smoothly.
This is the only thing that will do.
The same thing, how to say it and when to say it, the final effect may be completely different!
As for how to pave the way, he has already thought about it, and that is to use Yan Ning as the pavement!
Originally, this matter was related to Yan Ning, and Zhou Changmin also cared about Yan Ning, so using Yan Ning as the foreshadowing was of course perfect!
Just when he was about to talk about it, Zhou Changmin mentioned Yan Ning first!
"Mr. Lin, how is this girl Yan Ning doing lately?"
After hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but smile secretly. Since you mentioned Yan Ning first, that's the best thing!
"Yan Ning...she hasn't been doing well recently. She hasn't thought about food or food for several days and can't sleep at night! I'm really worried that something will happen to her over time!"
Lin Xu said very sadly.
"What? What happened?"
Zhou Changmin asked very worriedly.
Lin Xu then told Zhou Changmin in a concise and concise manner what happened to Wang Yu being detained by the Ax Gang.
"How audacious!"
Zhou Changmin turned livid with anger, slammed the table hard, and shouted angrily: "How dare a small business gang do such a thing? Are they a bandit den?! Mr. Lin, regarding this matter
, do you have conclusive evidence?”
"Well... to be honest with you, this matter is difficult to prove. I don't have conclusive evidence!"
Lin Xu said frankly.
"If there is no evidence, it would be a bit difficult..."
Zhou Changmin's forehead wrinkled slightly.
Speaking of which, although the Daning Dynasty was a feudal society, it was also a society governed by the rule of law. Any matter involving criminal charges must have evidence!
If there is no evidence, even though Zhou Changmin is the governor of Suzhou, it is not easy to arrest him directly!
Because once a political opponent gets hold of this matter and submits a letter to him, even though it is only a small matter, it is enough to make him drink a pot!
Lin Xu naturally understood this, and went on to say: "Although I have no direct evidence for this matter, there is both human and material evidence for the other matter!"
"What's up?"
"A few days ago, Ye Rongsheng led a group of men on Fuchun Street and beat to death an old man carrying a pole! Now, the old man's family has gone to the prefect's Yamen to complain about this matter, submitted a complaint, and invited
Yang Dingyuan is a litigant! The prefect’s Yamen has also signed the sea arrest document and is looking for Ye Rongsheng! However, Ye Rongsheng is very cunning and has hidden himself somewhere. He has not yet been brought to justice!"
Zhou Changmin naturally knew what Lin Xu meant by his words, and said coldly: "I never thought that under my rule, Zhou Changmin, there would be such a bold villain! Zhou Kui, go and invite Mr. Song Chaoshan over.
Even if I turn Suzhou Mansion upside down tonight, I will find Ye Rongsheng!"
"yes!"
Zhou Kui will go out as soon as he promises!
"Brother Zhou, wait a minute!"
Lin Xu stopped him: "Master Zhou, I have something to ask of you, please don't take offense!"
"Say it!"
"I have an idea on how to apprehend Ye Rongsheng..."
