Song Wentang shouted angrily: "Why did the governor's Yamen requisition our grain without our consent?! I don't accept it! I'm going to the governor's Yamen to seek justice!"
"That's right! Let's follow Mr. Song and go to the governor's Yamen to seek justice!"
Seeing that Song Wentang was willing to come forward, those businessmen jumped up one after another to support him!
"hehe......"
Lin Xu smiled faintly and stopped paying attention to these people. He looked at the sergeants guarding the docks and grain ships not far away, and strode over.
"Excuse me, who is the leader?"
Arriving in front of the group of sergeants, Lin Xu cupped his hands and asked.
Soon, a burly, dark-faced middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of a fifth-grade military general came out. Seeing Lin Xu's extremely elegant temperament, he knew that he was definitely an ordinary person. He suddenly thought of a person in his mind, so he raised his hand.
, said very politely: "I am Zhang Shun, who has taken the post of Qianhu and is in charge of the military affairs of the dock. What should I call you? Mr. Lin?"
"Yes, I am Lin Xu. I came here to inspect the grain ships on the orders of Mr. Liu, the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Zhang Qianhu and his subordinates are temporarily under my control. This is Mr. Liu's order."
Lin Xu took out a piece of warrant and handed it to Zhang Shun.
After Zhang Shun unfolded it, he carefully identified it and confirmed that it was Liu Mingju's order. His attitude became more respectful: "I accept the order from my humble position, and I am willing to obey your instructions."
"I'm going to inspect the grain ship, please lead the way!"
"Sir please!"
...
On the other side, Song Wentang watched blankly as Lin Xu went to inspect the grain ship. For a moment, he felt at a loss as if his body had been hollowed out!
"Mr. Song, let's go to the governor's Yamen to seek justice!"
"That's our food, why should the governor's office requisition it?!"
"Mr. Song, those grains are our wealth and life! If they are requisitioned like this, how can we drink the northwest wind!"
"Drinking the northwest wind is not the worst thing! The worst thing is being chased by loan sharks!"
"Song Gongzi, after all, your father is the former chief envoy of Jiangsu Province. Mr. Liu does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. As long as you intercede, he will definitely give you face!"
"Yes, Mr. Song, take us to the governor's office quickly! You have thirty ships of food, which is the largest among us. You can't just watch so much food go down the drain!"
Just now, Song Wentang said he was going to the governor's Yamen to seek justice. He was just bluffing. In fact, he didn't have the courage at all!
His father had just been taken to the capital by Jinyiwei for committing a crime. It is still unclear what the final sentence will be, whether he will be beheaded or imprisoned. How dare he go to the governor's Yamen to cause trouble!
Besides, the person in charge of the governor's office now is not his father's former subordinate, but Liu Mingju, who originally had a higher official position than his father!
Although he had never met Liu Mingju, he had heard that Liu Mingju was a marshal who led troops and would not show mercy when killing people. Even the most vicious Japanese pirates felt cold in their hearts when they heard Liu Mingju's name, let alone him!
However, after repeated instigation from these businessmen, and because he was reluctant to bear all the thirty ships of food being wasted, he finally gritted his teeth and took the businessmen to the governor's Yamen!
Half an hour later, Song Wentang and his party arrived at the governor's Yamen.
Speaking of which, although his father has never served as the governor of Jiangsu, he has come to the governor's office countless times. In the past, he always thought it was nothing. When he came here, he would just follow the teahouse. If those doormen, book office
If you neglect me, he will scold you at every turn!
