Chapter 358 This place is very evil

The accident in Suzhou City was actually expected by Lin Daguan. To say it was an accident mainly refers to the time of occurrence.

Originally, according to Lin Daguan's expectation, it would take a few months for this kind of thing to happen again before it seemed more reasonable.

After all, as soon as the prefect and governor took office, they immediately gave eye drops to the chief minister. This was a bit unsightly, and no fig leaf was needed.

But Lin Daguan didn't expect that they would start performing within two months. The bottom line was so low that even Lin Daguan was amazed.

Finally, Lin Daguan said to Mr. Shen: "You will stay at home these few days, and don't worry about anything else."

After seeing off Second Master Shen, Lin Daguan urgently summoned his subordinates to make task arrangements.

More than a dozen people stood in the front yard of Xinxin Academy and entered the study one by one to meet Lin.

The first one was Gao Changjiang, who took the initiative to ask: "Do our projects, especially those involving demolition, need to be suspended?"

"Don't stop the project, continue!" After the official Lin ordered, he asked: "How is the reputation of the new prefect Shi? It should be very good, right?"

Gao Changjiang replied: "After the prefect took office, he arrested more than two hundred street gangs in the city, closed four gambling houses, and burned a lot of bonds.

At the same time, the backlog of prison cases was cleared and many people stranded in prison were released. The image of an upright official was established. "

Lin Daguan then instructed: "Then you send a message and let the storytellers talk seriously about the new prefect!"

Most industries and commerce have trade offices in the city, but the profession of storyteller does not. Because this industry relies entirely on audience appreciation, there is no need for industry organizations to coordinate prices and divide the market.

But Lin Daguan originally asked Gao Changjiang to set up a storyteller office, and he didn't have to manage anything. He just contacted him when nothing happened, organized gatherings of colleagues, or helped someone when he was bullied.

If Lin Daguan hadn't mentioned it today, Gao Changjiang, who had been busy with engineering and building a new college recently, would have almost forgotten that he also held the social position of the general manager of the Storytelling Agency.

"It's not easy to discredit the prefect now, it's a bit difficult." Gao Changjiang told the truth, "Prefect Shi has a good reputation in the city, so it's not easy to embarrass him."

Official Lin sneered and said: "We are all good citizens, how can we do something like that to smear an upright official?

On the contrary, we should vigorously praise Magistrate Shi, praise Magistrate Shi, and give him the title of Qingtian!

Within three days, I want the name Shi Qingtian to be spread in the city! "

Gao Changjiang didn't quite understand the decision to sit in the pavilion, but he vaguely felt that he wanted to "praise and win" by sitting in the pavilion. But at present, he can only see how to "praise", but not how to "kill".

The first iron rule of the Lin Group: Regarding the instructions regarding sitting in the hall, those who understand must be followed, and those who do not understand must also be carried out.

After Gao Changjiang exited the study, the second person who came in was Yu Gongjing, the leader of the Four King Kongs. The law enforcement team of the Lin Group was put in charge of Gongjing.

There are currently more than 100 people in the law enforcement team, most of whom have followed Lin Daguan to Yangzhou, participated in the mutiny, and arrested the governor.

For respect, Lin Daguan only asked one sentence: "Do you dare to do what you did in Yangzhou City again?"

Yu Gongjing had never read a book and didn't even recognize a few words. Naturally, he couldn't say something nice, so he simply responded with one word: "Dare!"

After meeting Gao Changjiang and Yu Gongjing, Lin Daguan's instructions to the other leaders were much the same.

"If the order goes down, each clerk must summon at least five relatives and friends, and then arrive at the designated place at the designated time! I don't want any excuses, I just want to see people!"

The prefect Shi of Suzhou caught the crimes committed by the chief minister Shen's family and wanted to convict the chief minister's son. In the blink of an eye, Governor Li directly accused the prefect of embezzling five thousand taels. This official farce in Suzhou City caused an uproar in the court.

Most people believe that Governor Shi was framed by slander, and the reason why Governor Li did this must have been influenced by the chief assistant.

Governor Li's behavior aroused public outrage in the officialdom, and most middle- and low-level officials hated this behavior.

Therefore, the imperial court quickly sent Li Shida, a heavyweight minister of Nanjing Zuodu Censor, as an imperial envoy to Suzhou to investigate whether Magistrate Shi had embezzled five thousand taels.

The imperial envoy arrived from Nanjing very quickly. Lin Daguan had just returned to Suzhou, and the two sides had only handed over public rations once before the imperial envoy arrived in Suzhou City.

Still following the old rules, officials from various government offices in the city went out of the city to Fengqiao to welcome the arrival of the imperial envoy Li Shida.

On the shore, Governor Li and Magistrate Shi were in the same situation, each standing on one side, while most of the county officials stood slightly towards Magistrate Shi.

At this time, the atmosphere in the scene was very depressing. No one was even chatting, and everyone kept their mouths shut.

"I'm late!" Suddenly, someone shouted from behind, breaking the tranquility on the shore.

Lin Tailai, the official of Qianhu of Suzhou Guard, once again represented Suzhou Guard and came to the shore to participate in the welcoming ceremony.

Most of the officials from the prefecture and county government seemed to have found a backbone, and they immediately gathered around Mr. Lin, talking in all directions.

But there was still no one around Governor Li and Magistrate Shi.

Looking at this scene from a distance, one would have thought that Lin Daguan was the governor or prefect.

After a few words of greeting from Official Lin, he walked through the crowd and stepped forward to greet the two largest officials.

First, he said to Magistrate Shi: "I personally supervise the transportation of grain to Yangzhou. I just came back from Yangzhou the day before yesterday and I heard that the people have already called the governor Shi Qingtian!

The master of the palace deserves to be called Xiao Hai Rui, and he is truly worthy of his name, and I admire him very much. "

Magistrate Shi didn't want to talk to Lin Tailai, and just said: "I heard that you and Shen Er are friendly, and it is only right to persuade Shen Er to surrender as soon as possible and plead guilty."

We just chatted to death and couldn’t say anything further.

Official Lin turned to Governor Li again and said politely: "I'm going to be the governor of Suzhou, Yun Qianhu Lin Tailai. I have admired the name of the army for a long time, and I hope the army will take care of me!"

Governor Li's attitude became much better and he said with a smile: "I heard that you are a disciple of Prime Minister Shen. Our court and Prime Minister Shen have always been on good terms with each other. You and I are not outsiders."

What the governor means implicitly is that you and I, Lin Tailai, are on the same team!

But Lin Tailai completely disagreed with this, and he did not dare to be with Governor Li.

In this official farce in Suzhou City, the prefect's punishment of the Shen family was actually a trivial matter and could not sway the chief minister.

Governor Li, a member of the chief minister's party in the eyes of others, obviously had many ways to smooth things over, but he directly accused the prefect Shi of embezzling 5,000 taels without following any rules, which directly put Shen Shoufu into a huge passive position.

Although there is no evidence and no supporting evidence in historical materials, Governor Li's actual behavior is completely like an undercover agent who dragged Shen Shoufu to commit suicide.

So no matter what Governor Li was thinking, no matter whether Governor Li was a pig teammate or an undercover agent, Lin Daguan and others could only treat him according to the principle of "discussing the deeds but not the heart".

Even though Official Lin's attitude was so cold, Governor Li was still enthusiastic.

He kept taking the initiative to find topics to chat about, and he just had to shout in public: I, Mr. Li, and Lin Tailai are both candidates for the Party!

It wasn't until Imperial Envoy Li Shida's boat appeared on the water in the distance that Governor Li became quiet. Li Shida has a very good reputation and has done a lot of practical things. He does not seem to have an obvious political tendency at present.

However, in front of the sharp-eyed Lin Daguan, what kind of background did Li Shida have? He could hide it from others, but he could not hide it from Lin Daguan.

All etiquette procedures were carried out step by step, until it was Lin Daguan's turn to come forward to see Li Shida, the imperial envoy of the second rank.

Then I heard the imperial envoy asked Lin Tailai: "I heard that this place is very evil. In the past two years, various accidents have always happened during the welcoming ceremony here, and they are often related to you, Lin Qianhu, right?" "

"Rumors are all rumors!" Lin Daguan denied it and gave an example: "When Yuan Xianzun of Changzhou County took office, there were no accidents, and when the former governor Mr. Zhao took office, there were no accidents! "

Li Shida looked around and said, "I hope everything will be safe today."

Hearing these words of conversation, Magistrate Shi suddenly shook his body and became nervous.

He realized that he might have been careless today and did not arrange at least a few hundred strong men to protect him when traveling!

After all, Lin Tailai's best trick is "solving with force"!

If Lin Tailai decided to take action today and bring out hundreds or even thousands of rioting soldiers or civilians, he would have no ability to resist now and would have no place to hide!

Just when I thought of this, I suddenly heard noises coming from the other side of the river. Magistrate Shi looked up and found that a large crowd had gathered on the other side!

Magistrate Shi's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously approached the Imperial Envoy Li Shida, as if this would give him a sense of security.

The rest of the people looked at each other, could they see another big show today? You won't suffer the disaster of Chiyu, right?

At this time, the crowd on the opposite side suddenly shouted uniformly and repeatedly: "Shi Qingtian! Shi Qingtian! Shi Qingtian!"

There are many unruly people in Suzhou, and there are many people making troubles. The officials, who have been frightened by the past civil uprisings, were a little confused for a while. Doesn't this style look like a civil uprising?

Only Lin, the official, laughed and said: "Shifu Zun is indeed so popular among the people! He has only been in office for two months, but he has been so loved!"

Governor Li promptly expressed his hostility towards Magistrate Shi and said, "Did you do it on purpose to show the imperial envoy?"

Lin Tailai came forward to defend Magistrate Shi again and said: "This is public opinion. There is a scale in the hearts of the people!"

Governor Li glanced at Mr. Lin, where are you from?

Others did not dare to speak at all, only feeling that there was something strange going on between Governor Li, Magistrate Shi, and Official Lin.

It was as if these three people were wearing a thick veil, and their true faces could not be seen clearly.

At this moment, another row of people suddenly appeared on Fengqiao, and someone shouted loudly:

"The Dog Inspector! The Dog Inspector is here too! The Dog Inspector who slandered Shi Qingtian is also here!"

The people on the bridge also cursed together: "Dog Governor! Dog Governor!"

Governor Li looked very ugly. No matter what he was thinking, it would not be easy to be publicly insulted like this.

Official Lin quickly ordered the government officials and sergeants on duty outside, "Go to the bridge quickly and disperse the people!"

The crowd on the other side seemed to be infected. They stopped chanting "Shi Qingtian" and began to curse "Dog Inspector".

Governor Li just felt that his face was dull when he stood here, so he said to Li Shida, the imperial envoy minister: "Since I have seen the superior officer, I will take my leave first!"

In terms of official position, Governor Li was only one level lower than Li Shida. It would not be too rude to leave after seeing him and not accompany him to the mansion.

So Governor Li left the welcoming ceremony and walked outside with his long entourage. His boat was parked not far away.

Suddenly there was a sound of cannon, and three groups of people shot out from the front street, back street and Maple Bridge direction! Each branch has hundreds of people, adding up to at least a thousand people!

Magistrate Shi, who had already relaxed, fell into panic again. This time it was really a wolf. Who but Lin Tailai would dare to start such a battle?

The three groups of people secretly coordinated their military tactics, showing the trend of encirclement and outflanking, and each group had dozens of leaders, sweeping in menacingly!

"Lin Tailai! You are so brave!" Shi Zhifu shouted with a stern expression.

Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with me?"

Magistrate Shi refuted: "How to lay an ambush near Fengqiao, how to plan the marching route, and how to deploy manpower everywhere, who else but the person named Lin can have such rich experience?"

Mr. Lin: "."

Soon enough, in full view of everyone, the mob suddenly pounced on Governor Li and his pacesetters!

The governor cannot always bring hundreds of pacesetters with him when he goes out every day, so today there are only a few dozen personal soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, the governor's personal soldiers were overwhelmed by thousands of mobs. Governor Li, who had no time to escape and had no way to escape, was directly drowned in the mob!

There were also a few kind-hearted people with big muscles and round waists, shouting at the officials: "Shi Qingtian! We Suzhou people will always support you!"

The officials at the welcoming ceremony were all dumbfounded. They couldn't understand it at all.

If this gang of rioters was organized by Lin Tailai, why didn't they take action against their archenemy, Prefect Shi, but instead flushed out Governor Li?

Amidst the scoldings of "Governor Dog", everyone saw another person who was suspected to be Governor Li. His face was so bruised and swollen that they couldn't see his true face. He was stripped down to only a pair of pants, and then he was lifted up and thrown directly into the In the river.

"Save people! Save people!" Lin Qianhu actively directed the sergeants, "Go into the water and rescue the governor!"

Until now, in the history of the civil uprising in Suzhou City during the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a tragic scene. At most, the governor's sedan chair was overturned.

Obviously the imperial minister was the largest among the people present, but everyone looked at Senior Official Lin.

It turns out that Lin Tailai always acted with a certain degree of propriety. Even those officials who were hostile to Lin Tailai had not suffered direct personal injury.

But today it happened like this. What do you want to express? Do you want to express your anger at this official farce?

What will happen to the emperor's wrath, where millions of corpses are laid to rest, the common man's wrath, where blood flows for five steps, and the wrath of Lin Daguan?

"Look, people are angry, this is people's anger." Lin Daguan pointed again and said deeply: "Tang Wenhuang said it well, the people are like water, they can carry a boat or capsize it."

Magistrate Shi's mind was clear and clear. What happened? Do you think you have survived the disaster?

He felt even more frightened. Governor Li always ended up like this, but what about him?

After waking up, a somewhat angry Magistrate Shi shouted at Lin Tailai and asked: "As a military attache, you have the courage to stop a hundred people with one force, why don't you command the sergeant to stop it?"

Official Lin said in surprise: "You actually spoke for that dog official who slandered you?"

Magistrate Shi replied: "Right and wrong are subject to the court's own punishment, so how can they be lynched?"

Official Lin looked at the crowd again and sighed: "Public opinion cannot be violated. I, Lin Tailai, cannot go against the will of the people. The court should also understand."

He is worthy of being the leader of the largest evil force in Suzhou City.

Li Shida, the second-grade imperial envoy, was silent for a long time. He wanted to get back on the ship and go back to Nanjing. He didn't want to stay in Suzhou at all.

This place is so evil, and the people in this place are even more evil.

　Please give me a monthly pass! My thoughts are finally flowing smoothly. I will probably be able to write more tomorrow.
