Master Qiao Ba was very efficient in doing things. After a while, he sent the silver notes. Old Mrs. Lin didn't order it, so he directly gave it to Tang Yuxiang. Twenty thousand taels of silver was indeed not a small amount, but it was not enough to give it to him.
Old Lady Lin lost her value and was greedy for her.
Holding the silver note, Tang Yuxiang's eyes shone brightly and she swallowed with difficulty. She thought that when she was a traveling doctor in the countryside, she ran around to see people all day long. She suffered enough pain, let alone money, even if she could do it for a day.
Even though she earned dozens of copper coins, she was quite good. Now she was holding 20,000 taels of silver notes in her hand, how could she not be excited?
Secretly glanced at the side face of Mrs. Lin, she hesitated, not knowing whether she should put it into her pocket. Maybe Mrs. Lin was just hypocritical and pretending to give her a false intention, or just asking her to help first.
Hold it.
Old Mrs. Lin was bold and meticulous in his work and was quite principled. She had been watching Qiao Ba’s compensation for the money he paid for his neighbors with her own eyes, and then she issued an order and went home.
When the Lin family members walked away, Qiao Ba suddenly spitted hard at the ground, with a lot of blood mixed in it, "Mr. Zhang, Qiao Ba's face was lost today. What revenge do you have?
Good strategy? If so, just tell me, Qiao Bajue is absolutely right!”
"Bang!" Zhang Xiu turned around, swung his arm, slapped Qiao Ba hard, and cursed with a dark face: "It's all you idiot, you are not good at blackmailing anyone, but they just got offended the Lin family.
Can we provoke an ancestor? Lord Chengshou Wang has long wanted to attack the Lin family, but until now, he is still afraid of the identity of this old woman. Now, I am slapped in the face in public.
, You said, how do you ask me to face my subordinates and officials in Luocheng in the future!”
Although Qiao Ba was tall and big, he couldn't bear to eat Zhang Xiu's slap. With just one stroke, he was beaten and turned around several times and almost fell down. The slap made half of his face numb.
.
However, Qiao Ba is a tough guy after all, trying hard to gain a foothold and having a scheming in his heart. Since Lord Chengshou Wang wants to deal with the Lin family, he is not afraid of not having the opportunity to avenge the face-slapping revenge today.
With a slap, Zhang Xiu had some fire in his stomach. Looking at the direction of the Lin family's convoy, he said with a sinister look on his face: "Today's hatred will be rewarded in the future!"
Then, he told Qiao Ba, "You can find more people and start the Jule Gambling House again as soon as possible. In addition, I will take more than half of the money I earn in the future!"
After saying that, he led a hundred soldiers to turn around and leave.
Hearing Zhang Xiu say this, Qiao Bazhi gritted his teeth in anger, and someone burned Jule Gambling House. He took the silver to be responsible for the flip, but Zhang Xiu wants to eat big heads. How can he not be angry?
After all, he could only swallow it back to his stomach, and at the same time, he also counted the accounts on the Lin family.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go find someone to start work quickly!" Qiao Ba was so angry that he could only spread his body under his command. These people were all gangsters and scoundrels, but they didn't know how to build buildings and walls.
"oh……"
A few of the gangsters responded in scattered voices, and then scattered. Qiao Ba's face changed slightly, and he appeared sensitively from these people's eyes. They no longer respected him as much as before.
What I want is a face. Now that his face has been beaten by a woman in the street, his prestige will naturally decline. If it weren't for the big backer of Zhang Xiu, these gangsters wouldn't have beaten him again.
Take it seriously.
Qiao Ba gave a few more instructions, then turned around and left, looking for the doctor to heal his wounds, but he did not see a young man, slowly following him, and was placed behind him in a distance or near distance.
Lin Jingyi followed the carriage to the wasteland early in the morning. Because it rained heavily yesterday, the road was slippery and covered with small puddles. He arrived at the destination until noon. At this time, the food was already on the way to the wasteland.
The refugees were divided into several pieces, lined up to receive meals.
When it was time to eat, the elderly and children gathered together, making the wasteland that was already crowded and talkative, particularly lively.
The Lin family's carriage walked straight into a resettlement site and stopped. Many refugees carried their rice bowls and ran over while eating. The weather is getting colder now, and there are few clothes and quilts at home. Who can see these old cotton coats and old ones?
Quilts can also be jealous.
Although there are many people in the wasteland, with more than 100,000 people, Lin Jingzhi prepared in advance and asked all the managers and friends in the shops to help early, plus the managers and some servants in the mansion.
There are more than 200 managers, so I am quite familiar with the family situation of these 100,000 people.
When the great manager Pang Lu saw that his master was coming, he had already put down his food and quickly met him, "I wish you a blessing to the second master."
"Get up." Lin Jingzhi didn't wait for his salute and stretched out his hand to mix it on his arm. Since the construction of the wasteland and digging canal started, the manager worked hard and was extremely busy. He was not fat at first, but now he has lost weight again.
One round, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"No, no, no, this is what the old slave should do." Pang Lu quickly bent down and replied.
"Today I sent a large number of old cotton coats and old quilts, and planned to disperse them. You go and find all the people in charge. See which family has many elderly people and many children, so give them priority. The rest, wait for the next day.
The day after tomorrow, the Jia family transported all the cotton coats and quilts from nearby cities and distributed them uniformly." Lin Jingzhi opened his command.
Pang Lu responded quickly, and in a short while, all the people in charge were gathered together.
After some discussion, the managers drove the carriage to their respective resettlement sites to divide the items, and the refugees around them dispersed.
"Master Manager, today, in addition to splitting cotton coats and quilts, I have some major issues to discuss with you." Lin Jingzhi waved his hand. In addition to Aunt Yu and Daguan, all the servants guarding him scattered and on the side
alert.
Pang Lu helped Lin Jingzhi sit on the newly moved chair and asked, "What's the matter? Second Master, please give me the order."
"That's it." Next, Lin Jingzhi told the story of the current emperor sending an imperial envoy to the south to inspect, kill corrupt officials, and collect money, and also explained the situation of the Lin family very clearly.
After hearing this, Pang Lu frowned tightly and replied: "Second Master, it is indeed a good idea to use refugees to protect the Lin family, but there are more than 100,000 refugees here, and there are too many people. If they really follow the guidance of the Lin family
, and the dispute started with the government. Will Tian Ji and Wang Meng take the opportunity to label the Lin family as a rebellious person?"
"This should be done." Lin Jingzhi rubbed his swollen temples.
Aunt Yu interrupted at this time, "The dog officials are going to detain you. What can we do? The Lin family is in a very bad situation now. If they don't control the refugees early, the Lin family will be over."
"What the aunt said." The manager bent down and saluted, nodded, and then said again: "But I think we should still set up a way out in secret. In this way, even if we fight him in the future, there will be a way out.
It can be left."
"It's been a long time since I was preparing." Aunt Yu did not tell the official in detail about the secret guard of the Lin family. She was secretly preparing to retreat. This matter must be kept as hidden as possible and avoid people's eyes and ears, so that it will be safer
.
Next, the three of them gathered together and began to discuss ways to release the rumors. Lin Jingzhi thought the sooner the better, so the discussion was completed, and the manager hurriedly left, looking for a suitable person, and spread the situation that the government wanted to attack the Lin family.
