Daming talker

Chapter 217 eloquent
Lin Tailai replied without thinking: "Whether the court believes it or not depends on how you report it, my lord.

As long as it is reported by you, my lord, the imperial court will definitely believe it. "

Hai Rui turned around and asked again: "The crux of the whole matter now is, where did the soldiers who arrested you come from?

This is the direct trigger of the tax resistance turmoil. If you speculate about Linhuai Hou Li's family, that is just your one-sided opinion. "

Lin Tailai complained in his heart, Hai Qingtian, you have been holding on to this doubtful point endlessly, haven't you?

Then he used a trick to turn the truth into a lie: "No, no, this is not the most important point. No matter who sent these officers and soldiers, as long as they come from Nanjing, they are destined to cause a storm of tax resistance!"

Then there was another trick: "It can even be said that even if there is no incident of my being arrested, there will be a tax resistance incident!
Because of the sentiment of the people of Suzhou Prefecture towards taxation, it has accumulated to a critical point in the past ten years!
Under this kind of public opinion, all that is lacking is a reason to resist taxation, and what the reason itself is is not important! "

Hai Qingtian couldn't understand some new terms, and asked in confusion, "What is the meaning of critical point?"

Lin Tailai thought to himself, I'm not afraid that you don't understand, I'm afraid that you understand!If you understand everything, how can you fool around?

Then he directly gave an example: "Thinking back 15 years ago, my lord, you also served as the governor of Jiangnan, why did you win the praise of all people in just a few months?
Isn't it because you, my lord, cleared up a large number of lands occupied and hidden by the tyrants, expanded the tax base, and reduced the tax burden of other ordinary households?

If you think back to the time when public opinion was eager for tax cuts, it was at a tipping point! "

Then Lin Tailai pointed out sharply and pointedly: "Economic issues are a small cycle every few years, and the current state of public opinion is similar to that of 15 years ago.

This is the key to the tax resistance turmoil, and it is the most urgent problem that you, the imperial envoy, need to solve! "

After thinking about it, Hai Qingtian nodded and said, "That makes sense! So, who sent those soldiers who arrested you?"

Lin Tailai was speechless, Hai Qingtian, are you a devil?Always pay attention to these little details!

With Lin Tailai already fully fired, most people couldn't stand it long ago and were led away by the nose.

Mr. Lin also has a temper, and said angrily:

"I am clearly an innocent victim, but the boss seems to question me repeatedly, it is simply inexplicable!
If the boss is really serious, then go and check it yourself, and ask me what this victim is doing! "

Although Lin Tailai seemed agitated, his words were a little disrespectful, putting emotional pressure on Hai Rui.

But Hai Rui remained as calm as water, and said lightly, "It's not certain who is the victim."

Lin Tailai: "."

Why is Hai Rui so stubborn?Holding on to a doubt that has nothing to do with the overall situation is not to let go!

Hai Rui continued: "You have spent ten days with those soldiers, and with your keenness, you can see some clues.

Is it because you really can't see through their origins, or do you not want to tell? "

Lin Tailai was really convinced, Hai Rui seemed sure that he must know something.

Yes, he did know, but he really couldn't say it!
Then he replied: "If my lord wants me to say something, then I can give you two ideas!

The first idea is to interrogate the biggest suspect, Li Zongcheng, and dig out information from him.

Previously, my lord could not arbitrarily interrogate Linhuaihou's son, but now my lord has been appointed as an imperial envoy by the imperial court, so I can go to investigate Li Zongcheng! "

Hai Rui responded, "You don't need to teach me this point, this court will naturally do it."

Lin Tailai immediately PUA said: "This is what a normal imperial envoy should do!
Instead of asking me the victim, I always want the victim to provide clues! "

But Hai Rui didn't answer Lin Tailai's words at all, and asked again: "Then what is your second thought?"

Lin Tailai replied: "The second idea is that the biggest beneficiaries are often the biggest suspects!
The boss just needs to think about it, who will be the biggest beneficiary if the next one is rectified? "

Duke Xu Bangrui of the State of Wei heard that Hai Rui had suddenly come to the West Garden, so he hurried over from the nearby Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

As soon as I got closer, I heard Lin Tai say "the biggest beneficiary", and I couldn't help but "thump" in my heart!
If it is involved in Linhuai Hou Li's family, the biggest beneficiary is of course Xu Bangrui, the Minister of Defense of Nanjing City, directly in his hands!
How dare Lin Tailai guide Hai Rui like this?How is this different from getting burned?
Hai Rui felt that he had never heard any useful information from Lin Tailai until now, staring at Lin Tailai sharply, he asked, "Then tell me, who will benefit the most?"

Lin Tailai said impassionedly: "If I am punished, imprisoned and convicted, the biggest beneficiary will be the leader of the literary world, the leader of the retro faction, and Wang Yanzhou, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Hai Rui: "."

Lin Tailai continued to talk eloquently and said: "The people who have expressed hostility to me and acted, except for Li Zongcheng, the son of Marquis of Linhuai, is Wang Yanzhou!
As the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, he personally accepted the appeal of the Xi family. Isn't this worthy of attention?

And after rectifying me, Li Zongcheng may only be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but there may not be much actual benefit.

But Wang Yanzhou is different. Physically getting rid of me, the ancient enemy, will bring him both fame and fortune! "

Hearing that Lin Tailai pulled out Wang Shizhen again, Hai Rui felt dizzy and frowned tightly.

Now that there are a lot of clues, how can I still have the energy to start Wang Shizhen's line!

Lin Tailai muttered loudly: "Of course, if the boss is concerned about Wang Shizhen's status and influence in the literary world and doesn't want to investigate Wang Shizhen, then just ignore it!"

Hai Rui came to Lin Tailai suddenly, the original intention was to get first-hand information from Lin Tailai, and to clarify his thoughts.

As a result, the more you listen, the more disordered your thinking becomes.

In such a short Kung Fu conversation, Lin Tailai kept pouring out information crazily, and countless messy opinions and guesses seemed to roll back and forth in his mind.

For a while, analyze the root cause of the predicament, and for a while talk about the crux of the problem;

Every item has to be taken seriously, and every item has to be checked, that would be too messy.

At this time, I heard Lin Tai say again: "In half a month, the Jiangnan region will start to collect taxes.

Time waits for no one, the boss does not have a few days to spare, so you must hurry up. "

Half a month, and subtracting the time spent traveling back and forth to the imperial court and the imperial court's decree, there would be less than three to five days left for Hai Rui to investigate.

After reminding Hai Rui that time was running out, Lin Tailai patted his forehead and shouted, "By the way, I thought of a suspicious candidate again, please investigate carefully, my lord!"

"That's enough! Shut up!" Hai Rui finally couldn't take it anymore, and scolded.

Lin Tailai whispered, "The one who insists on me saying something is the boss, and the one who tells me to shut up is the boss. It's really hard to be a man!"

Hai Rui was so angry that he walked away, not wanting to say a word to Lin Tai.

After watching Hai Rui leave the West Garden, Mr. Sheng dared to speak and sighed to Lin Tailai:

"Hai Qingtian is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Lin Jieyuan was so eloquent that he insisted on telling Hai Qingtian to run away."

Then Mr. Sheng said seemingly indignantly: "During this turmoil, there are so many evildoers!
Hai Qingtian only grabs you, the captured person, and doesn't care about others, it's biased! "

But Lin Tailai said: "No, you've got it wrong, Governor Wei and the Xi family must be doomed!

Hai Qingtian didn't spend any more time today talking about the governor and the Xi family!
This shows that in Hai Qingtian's heart, they are all dead, so there is no need to talk about them! "

Mr. Sheng admired the five-body cast, even if it wasn't for Xie Yuan, Lin Tailai could still succeed as a "commoner", which is really not unreasonable.

I heard Lin Tai say again: "The thing I should consider now is who will be the new governor."

Mr. Sheng: "."

Please be sober, the new governor will probably be recommended by the imperial envoy Hai Rui, what qualifications do you, Lin Tailai, have to consider?

Lin Tailai sighed: "It's not that I, Lin, are selfish and greedy for power, but for the sake of the overall situation, in order to quickly calm the storm, it is best for the new governor to get my approval.

I believe that Hai Qingtian must be a person who takes care of the overall situation, and he is running out of time. "
