Daming talker

Chapter 249 I’m a little angry lately
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Daguan was ready to leave, but suddenly there were several violent coughs from behind.

Turning around, I saw that the person who coughed was Lu Junbi. He also took the exam paper and hurried over to hand it in.

Lu Junbi couldn't be in a hurry. He had no way to deal with the Grand Master in advance. If he walked out of the examination room today and hundreds of test papers were piled on top of each other, would the Grand Master know who he was?
Lin Tailai burst into laughter. It seemed that Lu Xiucai still couldn't resist the temptation to make progress.

So he pointed to Lu Junbi and said to Fang Ti: "This gentleman is ten times more talented than me, but he didn't meet a master in the last scientific examination, and he only ranked fourth. The great master might as well interview him."

Fang Tixue's face was as black as ink. Lin Tailai, don't go too far. Do you even want to interfere in Yangzhou's affairs?
Lu Junbi trotted over quickly and respectfully placed his test paper on the examination form.

Then he bowed deeply and said: "Old Grandmaster, please be polite!"

This style of behavior is more than ten times higher than Lin Daguan's emotional intelligence, and the word "Li" has a long pronunciation, which everyone can understand.

Fang Tixue felt a little more comfortable. Although he couldn't change Daguan Lin's will, at least Lu Junbi's attitude made him feel comfortable.

They all come here to take the exam, so why is there such a big gap between what they do and what they do?Will you, Lin Tailai, die if you pretend to respect your teacher?
Seeing Fang Tixue also draw three circles on Lu Junbi's test paper, Lin Daguan had nothing else to do and turned around and walked out of the examination room.

Lu Junbi was still saluting the Grand Master and saying something.

When Lin Tailai reached the intersection, Lu Junbi finally caught up from behind.

"I'll be the host on the boat tonight! I'll arrange four for you!" Lu Junbi invited.

Lin Tailai said helplessly: "Who in Yangzhou today doesn't know that I have a deep affection for Bai Huaoi? Are you trying to ruin my character?"

Lu Junbi: "."

You Lin Jieyuan acted in a play, and you were quite into it?

"You're tired, let's take a rest!" Mr. Lin waved his hand and said.

This is not a lie. With the material conditions of this era, exams are an all-round torture for candidates, from body to mind.

For example, in some places where special examination booths are not built, county examination candidates need to carry their desks and go to the county office to answer the papers while sitting on the ground or standing.

Therefore, during county examinations, all the desks near the county government offices are often borrowed by candidates.

Even the highest-level palace examination was done in the open air, in the wind and sun, in the square outside the Jinluan Palace, while standing and bending down with a pen to write, and the whole day was spent writing.

In theory, the examiner of the imperial examination is the emperor. Which candidate would dare to sit down and answer the exam?

Given Lin's physique, he felt a little tired after the exam and just wanted to go back to his residence and collapse.

Lu Junbi was also very tired, so he didn't say anything more. He cupped his hands and said, "I'll thank you again tomorrow."

For Lin Daguan, the main goal of going to Yangzhou City this time has been achieved, and the Taoist test has become a thing of the past.

Other candidates have to look forward to the release of results in a few days, but Lin Daguanren does not have to wait for this at all.

Because his name is definitely not on the list of Jiangdu County in Yangzhou City. His name will only appear on the list of Wu County in April.

Afterwards, Lin Daguan returned to his residence, which was the courtyard lent by Lu Junbi, and was greeted by Zhang Wen, the left-behind guardian.

Now that Lin Daguan has enough manpower, he does not take Zuo protector Zhang Wen with him when he goes out. Instead, he asks Zhang Wen to stay at his residence and be responsible for receiving visitors.

Lin Tailai asked: "Did Mr. Wang come here, or did he send someone?"

Zhang Wen replied: "No."

Lin Tailai asked again: "Are there any other powerful local figures coming to visit or posting?"

Zhang Wen replied: "None."

Lin Daguan sighed, in this world, most people have a conservative mentality when facing changes.

After all, those who dare to gamble and take risks, and who can't eat or cook with five pots of food, are only a minority.

I thought that there would be many adventurers in Yangzhou City, a city with a strong commercial character, but I was still disappointed.

Even though he had already made his move, there was still no one who dared to place a bet and cooperate. Even Wang Yuanwai was hesitant.

Could it be that the strength he showed was not enough?Others don't think that they can really suppress the Zheng family in Yangzhou?

Official Lin is not a god. If no one responds, he will have to change his mind.

Official Lin asked again: "Is there anyone else coming to see me? For example, a local scholar or a country official."

Zhang Wen said: "Actually, there was a person who came to seek refuge, but that person had no strength and was of no use."

As a confidant, Zhang Wen certainly knew what kind of person was waiting in the restaurant.

If they are just thugs or errand runners, it is really useless. There is no shortage of such people in the restaurant.

Lin Tailai didn't care and said casually: "Forget it if you don't have the strength. We don't have time to train an agent from scratch in Yangzhou."

Zhang Wen continued: "This person is a young woman. Although she is fair and good-looking, she is really of no use."

After the exam, Lin Daguan, who was bored, slapped Zhang Wen and shouted: "I've been asking you for a long time, why didn't you tell me earlier!
Do you know the allusion of Qianjinshi horse bones?How do you know it's useless if you don't see it? "

Zhang Wen grimaced in pain, and while instructing his men to bring someone over, he introduced:

"This woman calls herself Wu Tian, ​​and her husband's surname is Wu Mingdeng. Her ancestors came from Huizhou, and she is now running a gang in Jiangbei. From her vague words, it seems that she has a blood feud with the Zheng family."

Lin Tailai asked a very crucial question: "Blood feud? Her husband was killed by the Zheng family?"

Zhang Wen said: "That's not true. Her husband is still alive, but he is hiding somewhere else. She didn't give details. He must wait until he is seated."

Lin Tailai searched his memory and was sure that the man named Wu Deng was not a historical figure, and he immediately lost interest.

A self-employed person who runs a single gang has absolutely no value for cooperation to Lin Daguan.

The only thing I'm curious about is why Wu Tianshi, the wife, showed up to do things?
Zhang Wen also introduced: "Wu Tian came with a child under one year old, who is currently in the concierge.

She said it was very risky to come here to visit in public, and if she left here, she might not survive today. "

Lin Tailai was very puzzled, "Is this a moral kidnapping of me? If I don't take her in, will she die?"

Zhang Wen said: "In my opinion, it shouldn't be that way. Maybe there is some real reason, otherwise why would you bring your child here to show yourself?"

Official Lin also had nothing to do, so he was ready to meet.

Not long after, I saw a tall, fair-skinned, pretty young woman walking into the front hall with a baby in her arms.

Official Lin was too lazy to take the initiative to speak, so he picked up a tea cup and drank tea.

Wu Tianshi knelt down directly on the ground and said: "The slave family asks the officials to give me a way to survive!"

Lin Tailai was speechless. If these words spread, I'm afraid others would misunderstand what he had done to this young woman.Then he scolded: "Speak carefully! I have never met you, who will not give you a way to survive?"

Wu Tian took two steps on his knees, got closer to Lin Tailai, and said eagerly: "I was in a hurry and said the wrong thing!
In fact, it was the Zheng family that did not give the Nu family a way to survive. Now only Lin Daguan can keep the Nu family alive! "

There was something wrong with this position. Lin Tailai was condescending and subconsciously glanced at the young woman's collar.

Maybe it's because I've been sticking to the deeply affectionate character lately, which has caused me to get a little angry.

Lin Tailai put down the teacup and said coldly: "Maybe you have some grudges with the Zheng family, but why should I help you?"

Wu Tianshi said quickly: "My husband has five hundred salts!"

Lin Daguan sneered, how much money can you earn from five hundred salts? 300 taels?
For ordinary people, 300 taels is a huge sum of money, but does he, Lin Tailai, seem to be in need of these 300 taels?
Although Lin Daguan wanted to enter the salt industry, he really didn't care about the hundreds of salt dollars.

Wu Tianshi quickly added: "These five hundred salt guides are enough to carry salt to Suzhou!"

This is good, Wu Tian finally aroused the interest of Lin Daguan.

Although five hundred Yanyin is not much, if it can transport salt to Suzhou's Yanyin, it will be an opening worth opening.

As we all know, the Suzhou area is monopolized by the Zheng family, and it is difficult for others to obtain salt from Suzhou.

Besides, according to the current popular calculation of two hundred kilograms per salt, five hundred kilograms is equivalent to one hundred thousand kilograms, so carrying hundreds of thousands kilograms of private salt is not too much, right?

"Where is the salt?" Lin Daguan asked. He didn't ask whether it was true or not, because he didn't dare to lie to him.

Wu Tianshi replied: "It's all with your husband."

Lin Tailai asked impatiently: "Then where is your husband?"

Wu Tianshi replied in detail: "Hiding in the salt field across the sea, he dare not show his face in public, nor dare he take the road to Yangzhou."

Official Lin did not continue to ask, but brought up other topics: "Is there any blood feud between you and the Zheng family?"

The young woman first lowered her head and coaxed the baby in her arms a few times, and then spoke to Mr. Lin in detail.

It turns out that Wu Tian's husband, Wu Deng, was originally from Huizhou, and his ancestors came to Jiangbei to make a living.

Wu Deng's father and the Zheng family were half partners, responsible for collecting and transporting salt.Later, Wu Deng's father accumulated part of his fortune, became self-reliant, and wanted to go to Suzhou to sell salt.

Then Wu Deng's father was inexplicably regarded as a private salt dealer, was surrounded and suppressed, and died a violent death.Later, it was verified that it was all done by the Zheng family.

Lin Daguan asked very suspiciously: "I can understand your husband hiding in the chaotic salt field.

But how do you, a delicate woman like you, protect yourself? "

If this question is not solved, Lin Daguan will definitely not believe the other party.

The young woman shifted the baby to her left hand and held it steady, then suddenly stretched out her right hand and waved towards the pillar in the house. In the blink of an eye, she saw a sharp dart inserted into the wooden pillar.

Lin Tailai: "."

Fortunately, I am a decent person, stay calm and have no evil intentions.If you accidentally get hit by one, it will be uncomfortable.

"The slave family still has some self-defense skills." Wu Tianshi lowered his head and said.

Official Lin sat up straight, no longer looking at the snow-white collar, and said seriously: "If you have this ability, you don't need me to give you a way to survive."

Wu Tianshi gently caressed the child and said helplessly: "The Zheng family must have put spy tape outside the door of the high official and saw the Nu family entering here.

If the Nu family goes out again, even if they can break out of the siege, they may not be able to save the flesh and blood of the Wu family. "

This reason was recognized by Lin Daguan. Carrying a child under one year old was indeed a huge drag, unless his name was Zhao Zilong.

After all the background questions were asked, Lin Daguan got to the point: "Then you show up in public and come to me even if you don't hesitate to attract the attention of the Zheng family. What do you want to ask for?"

Wu Tianshi said: "The Nu family has no choice. On behalf of the husband, on behalf of the Wu family, they want to seek refuge with high-ranking officials.

Five hundred salts are just useless paper in the hands of the Wu family now. It is better to use them to cooperate with high officials.

The high officials have strong soldiers and horses, so they can send a team of people to escort the slave family to the seaside salt field. After finding the husband, they can collect and transport the salt on the spot. "

Lin Tailai questioned: "There are many people, but how can I trust you? How could I know that this is not a trap, just to eliminate my people?"

Wu Tian raised the child slightly and said decisively: "The slave family is willing to mortgage their son to a high official!"

Lin Tailai was unmoved, "I didn't know you before, and I don't even know if this baby is your biological son.

If you find a random child to fool, wouldn't I become the laughing stock? "

Wu Tianshi gritted his teeth and said: "This son Wu Xiang is the biological son of the slave family and the son of Wu Deng.

Our Wu family used to help the Zheng family, but later the family members changed. The high officials can go and inquire about the situation carefully. "

Lin Tailai was slightly surprised by the name of this child. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Wu Sangui, one of the most famous figures in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in history, his father’s name was Wu Xiang.

Although these two generations of father and son are bad people, their fame cannot be denied.

Lin Tailai carefully recalled the information. Wu Sangui's ancestors went to Huizhou and then moved to Gaoyou, Yangzhou, Jiangbei.

It was Grandpa Wu Sangui’s generation again, who suddenly moved to Liaodong for some unknown reason.Then Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and their sons guarded Liaodong.

At this time, Lin Tailai asked an incomprehensible question: "What would you and your wife plan to do if I didn't show up in Yangzhou?"

Although Wu Tian felt strange, he still replied: "In order to avoid the Zheng family, I must flee far away.

I heard that a relative went to Liaodong to sell horses, and he might want to seek refuge there. "

Lin Tailai: "."

It sounds like they should be close to each other, otherwise how could everything be a coincidence?
So maybe Wu Tian is Wu Sangui’s biological grandmother?
Is Wu Tian's husband Wu Deng Wu Sangui's biological grandfather who has no name in history?
And the child under one year old in Wu Tian's arms is Wu Sangui's biological father Wu Xiang?
History really makes a joke on itself. As the butterfly wings flap, the trajectory of history begins to change in various ways.

It seems that this Wu Tian family is unlikely to be a trap sent by the Zheng family. If he is so important in the rich Zheng family, then why did Grandpa Wu Sangui in history go to Liaodong?

In addition, it can also be inferred that Wu Tianshi and Wu Deng are not too poor in ability, otherwise they would not be able to make a fortune in Liaodong historically.

Looking at Wu Tian who was kneeling in front of him, Lin Daguan, who had been very angry recently, suddenly felt that he was even more attractive. After all, he had the bonus of the celebrity halo.

But Lin Daguan still suppressed his inappropriate thoughts. There is still a difference between humans and animals, and they cannot be inferior to animals.

　There was a lot going on yesterday, and I was stuck thinking about the next stage of the outline. I owe another chapter, and I owe 3 chapters this month.If nothing goes wrong, I'll start fixing it tomorrow.
