As mentioned earlier, Lin's consort came from a wealthy family in the capital, and Taisheng Coal Shop was an property of the Lin family.
In the Fuchengmenwai Coal Market, the Taisheng Coal Shop was originally quite large. After the Lin family married the Tian family, it became even bigger. Now it is considered the largest coal shop and the industry leader in the Fuchengmenwai Coal Market.
Li You is a smart man. Although he doesn't know much about coal trading, he walked around the coal market and saw that Taisheng Coal Shop was the largest store, so he guessed that this abnormal market was indispensable for this company. Because no matter what industry,
If there is turbulence in the market, there must be big businessmen among them.
Therefore, with the current situation in the coal market, I am afraid that Taisheng Coal Shop must be involved. Mr. Li went into Taisheng Coal Shop to kill the chicken to show the monkey, but he really didn't know that this was the Lin family's property.
Consort Lin married into the Tian family and suffered greatly, making great sacrifices for the family. The Lin family transferred the profits from Taisheng Coal Shop to Consort Lin, which became his largest source of private money. Princess Guide also turned a blind eye to this.
One eye.
Today, Prince Consort Lin went to Taisheng Coal Shop to settle accounts and withdraw dividends for the year. Recently, he was planning to raise a sum of money to raise a small troupe for fun in the coming year.
Unexpectedly, it was not because enemies were not getting together. When he entered the shop, he saw Li You commanding the sergeant to arrest his shopkeeper and waiter, and he was putting seals on the counter, doors and windows. Consort Lin was immediately furious, no matter how good his temper was.
People can't be calm anymore! They are indeed bullying others too much!
Consort Lin, as a talented man whose life became distorted because he married into the royal family and met a strange princess, felt that he was tolerant and generous enough, but Li You couldn't push it to such an extent. In addition to taking away his wife, he also had to cut off his wife.
Is it the road to wealth?
However, as the old saying goes, the scholar's rebellion did not take place for three years. Lin's consort became angry and sulked twice. After getting over the impulsiveness, he hesitated a little. In the capital, his biggest reliance was naturally his wife's signature, playing Princess Guide.
The flag of the emperor is generally unfavorable. From the emperor to the officials, everyone wants to give him three points.
But the problem is that Consort Lin knows that his biggest sign has no effect on Li You. If he is the eldest princess's nominal husband, then Li You can simply be called the eldest princess's spiritual husband. Compared with blowing pillows,
I'm afraid Li You is more powerful than him, not to mention that he actually has no pillow to blow off now.
When it comes to real power, the difference is even greater. Now that Li You is in charge of governing the capital, even if he can't do anything to him, his family members are all making a living in the capital, and they don't have the skin of a consort to protect them.
Here the consort is hesitating, and over there Li You is also struggling. For a man as thick-skinned as Mr. Li, after the adultery with the eldest princess has developed to the point where the adultery has turned into a family relationship, it is a bit embarrassing to face her current real first wife.
At the same time, Li You was also worried that if Lin's consort was overly stimulated and said something that shouldn't be said, things would be very troublesome. No matter whether others believed it or not, he would not be able to meet Guide Chitose anyway. This was definitely a mistake.
If there is a heavy loss, you may have to leave Beijing to avoid suspicion.
In addition, if he had a dispute with Lin's consort, the eldest princess Guide might not be willing to help but stand on his side. After all, Lin's consort is the eldest princess's nominal husband, and they are husband and wife in the eyes of others.
Yes, if Prince Consort Lin loses face, the eldest princess will also lose face, and her prestige will be damaged.
When this happened, Her Majesty Chitose must have been decisive. In order to maintain her high-end image, she must have made a small sacrifice to him, Li You, which was not a good thing.
On the other hand, Consort Lin was thinking cowardly, if he really had a head-on conflict with Li You, would he be humiliated and defeated, and his hard-earned happy life be ruined? It's really not good to have Li You's name there.
What's more, he may have come on someone's orders this time.
On the other side, Li You thought cautiously, the clay figurine also had a third nature of fire, which drove Lin's consort into a panic, and the consequences were very unpredictable and beyond his control. He should leave a thin line in life so that we can meet again in the future.
As a result, Mr. Li and Prince Consort Lin had a lot of thoughts in their minds, and they both threw the rat weapon into the trap. They both felt troubled, and before they knew it, they were staring at each other for a moment.
The emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was. There was indeed a real eunuch in the house. He was wondering why the two of them fell silent when they met, instead of causing thunder and fire.
"If you don't say anything, Prince Consort, I'm afraid this shop will close down immediately, and you'll lose all your money." Mr. Huang, the deputy of the Xixin Division, provoked the Prince Consort Lin in a very unskilled way. The success was once again in Lin Prince Consort's heart.
A small flame was lit.
This damn eunuch definitely has no good intentions! Li You cursed a few times in his mind, glanced at Lin's consort, and gave in to him.
Then Master Li laughed and said cheerfully: "It turns out that this place belongs to Brother Lin. I am really rude. So instead of closing the shop and arresting the clerk, how about I just ask the shopkeeper to go to the Yamen and ask a few words?"
This can be regarded as a mutual compromise idea. Taisheng Coal Shop continued to operate as usual. Mr. Li grabbed the shopkeeper and showed it to others. There were steps on both sides.
In any case, Li You is also inspecting the coal market on behalf of the government. After making such a big fuss publicly, if Mr. Li just runs away without doing anything as soon as Lin's consort comes forward, it will be very damaging to the official prestige. Come back to the coal market next time
In the city, who would still take him seriously? He might be impeached as a subordinate of a powerful person, which would be an insult to the official motto.
The strangest thing about people's hearts is that you can never predict what will happen in the next moment. If Li You showed fear and flinch, Lin's consort might let it go, but Mr. Li's calm and unrestrained behavior just made Lin's consort unhappy——
How can you be so calm and free in front of me?
Before Prince Consort Lin said anything, Eunuch Huang spoke again: "Master Li, he comes when he wants and leaves when he wants. He beats people and closes the shop. It's unjustifiable if he doesn't apologize."
Apologize? As a fifth-grade magistrate who was ordered to govern the capital, Li You has his own authority and dignity. How could Li You have the concept of apology in his mind during the normal and faultless law enforcement process, especially in public!
Even if there is a mistake, it is for the superior to apologize and he will not apologize easily! For example, it is common for the censor to impeach a minister, but has he ever expressed humility to the person being impeached?
Li You's face suddenly turned cold, and he slowly touched the jade belt around his waist with both hands. He stared at Eunuch Huang for a while, and then said calmly: "You talk too much."
Lord Li's arrogant posture and emphasis once again successfully aroused Lin's consort's disgust. What's the point of a fifth-grade man? He had seen Li You's humble and cautious face in front of his wife, even though he was the same person two years ago.
It happened when I was not prosperous.
He couldn't help but followed Eunuch Huang's words and said sarcastically: "Master Li broke into the store to arrest people. It's so disrespectful."
Does this person know what happened? Li You asked: "Does Prince Consort Lin know what is going on?"
"Isn't it just a contract with the Xixin Department to sell coal? What's wrong with that?" Consort Lin didn't care at all.
"Do you know what this means?"
Consort Lin continued not to care, "You said the price increase? What does that have to do with me? Shops are opened to make money."
What a political idiot! Li You could only sneer. Ever since they met, Lin's consort has shown himself to be a political noob more than once or twice. He just lacks such a brain. It makes no sense to reason with him, so let's not waste time.
, Li You waved his hand and ordered the shopkeeper of Taisheng Coal Shop to be taken away.
Consort Lin summoned up the courage to get angry and said: "Li You, don't make trouble unreasonably. Do you think you can hide your conspiracy from me?"
Mr. Li was puzzled by Lin Consort's words and couldn't understand. "I have a clear conscience and am upright. How can I be scheming? You are clearly the one making trouble without reason!"
Consort Lin excitedly accused: "Bah! You are willing to work as a lackey for a woman to rob other people's property, but not for a man!"
Li You swayed a few times and almost vomited a few mouthfuls of blood when he heard this. He really didn't understand Lin's consort's thoughts.
Hearing this, Prince Consort Lin actually thought that he had come to seize this shop on the orders of Princess Guide. How different from ordinary people's minds must be to have such an idea? Who is making trouble unreasonably?
In recent months, Princess Guide has completely let go of Lin's consort. On the one hand, she concentrates on running the Shaofu, and on the other hand, she has a fierce fight with Li You. Her consort has basically disappeared from sight. Although the Shaofu Qing's
The title was placed on the prince's head, but he only acted as a puppet occupying his position.
Consort Lin also knew what the young man was responsible for. With his level of knowledge, he felt that this nominal wife was becoming more and more greedy for money.
She really goes wherever she has money, and Huangzhuanghuangdian is not enough. She also extended her hands into the salt industry, and with the help of Li You, she has achieved great results. Recently, I heard that she has started to engage in banking again, and she is still partnering with Li You!
Seeing Li You breaking into the shop and closing the shop to arrest people today, Lin's consort subconsciously wondered whether the coal market was soaring recently and the market was booming, so the lustful wife was planning to extend her clutches into the coal market again? Maybe the shameless Li You
You have to act as a vanguard again, just like in the salt industry and banking industry.
Prince Consort Lin couldn't help but be suspicious. If Princess Guide wanted to enter the coal market, it seemed that occupying Taisheng Coal Shop would be the most trouble-free and labor-saving way. Taisheng Coal Shop itself was the industry leader in Fuchengmen Coal Market, and it was ready-made.
secondly, even if Princess Gui De occupies the Taisheng Coal Shop, it will look like a household matter between husband and wife. It is difficult for upright officials to settle household matters, and it is not easy to cause public outrage.
Li You was shocked speechless for a long time by Lin's consort's whimsical thoughts that were a bit persecuted. When Lin's consort saw it, he felt that he had uncovered the truth. He pointed at Mr. Li and shouted: "There are some things that you are hiding.
You can conquer the world, but you can't hide it from my eyes!"
Mr. Li put his hands on his forehead and sighed. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's good that you know, so can you stop me?"
After hearing the exchange between the two, the third party, Eunuch Huang, looked unhappy. What is going on?!~!
