Chapter 234 Wuxi Night Banquet (Three)
"Begging for alms?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when Tan Zong said this word so arrogantly. Even Lin Qingyun opened his eyes and looked at Tan Zong with surprise. Obviously, he couldn't imagine how Tan Zong dared to say such words here. This was simply openly asking for bribes, which was really a taboo in the officialdom! Not to mention that Cao Qiaomu, the chief supervisor of the Supervision Office, behind him, even if there was an official standing behind him, he would be impeached by the people from the Censorate until he died.
However, when Lin Qingyun looked at Tan Zong, he saw Tan Zong looking light and light, as if he didn't know how much trouble his words would cause. He looked leisurely and contented. On the contrary, the woman named Huang * Yao looked shocked, but opened her eyes wide and looked at Tan Zong with incredible eyes.
Obviously, the woman who was pushed out by Tan Zong did not know Tan Zong's plan beforehand.
With Lin Qingyun's understanding of Tan Zong, Tan Zong would never be so unwise, nor a person who is wise and stupid. Thinking of this, Lin Qingyun understood a little. Since Tan Zong is not such a person, there must be some content after Tan Zong's words. He only needs to watch the show quietly at this time.
At this time, Boss Zheng suddenly burst out laughing and said while laughing: "Mr. Tan is indeed a young hero, and he acts differently!"
Except for Huang * Yao, no one present was a person who was not a human-like figure. He changed his color at the first time he heard it. He was obviously scared by Boss Zheng's words. If Tan Zong said this sentence was bold, then Boss Zheng's words would be considered to be a real offensive - Tan Zong's bribery was still at the verbal stage after all, and it was just a verbal expression before it became a fact; but Boss Zheng's words can be regarded as a heart-slaughtering statement.
The so-called different form is nothing more than a satirizing that Tan Zong openly solicited bribes in public regardless of the laws of the court. If this matter is exposed, it will be really a real person to make a fuss.
But Tan Zong smiled after hearing this, and even had the time to look around and took everyone's expression into his eyes. What Tan Zong expected was that Lin Qingyun did not lose his sense of duty, but what was beyond Tan Zong expected was that Yao Yu, the boss of Yao Ji who had given him a kind smile, returned a kind look again, as if he had confidence in him, Tan Zongji.
"This Yao Yu is quite interesting." Tan Zong smiled again in his heart and secretly recorded the man.
The change in the face of others gave Boss Zheng a great courage. In addition, the plaque given by the official in his family gave him enough confidence. At this time, the look at Tan Zong unconsciously brought some disdain and he didn't speak politely: "But since Lord Tan has spoken, our colleagues in the trading club naturally don't want to just wipe out Lord Tan's face like this. Everyone can get together, and they can still get 10,000 or 20,000 taels for the adults. I think it should be enough for the adults to buy some clothes and jewelry for the new lady."
Speaking of this, Boss Zheng's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying, "But now that the seven counties are being robbed at the same time, the market prices in the surrounding areas have risen sharply. Especially this jewelry was snatched away by those barbarians that day. I believe that if you want to buy it again, the price will probably be lower. Even if the adults feel sorry for the new wife, they still need to pay attention and don't spend money in vain."
At the end of the day, Boss Zheng smiled proudly, obviously very satisfied with his knocking. Even if he looked, he was too lazy to see Tan Zong again. In his thoughts, Tan Zong must have been so shameless that he had said something.
Of course, Zheng Luntai is not a very powerful person, so he naturally understands the management points in the officialdom, so he is willing to take out the 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver that he just mentioned. However, even if he pays money, he will beat them. Although they are considered to have a big family, if they want to raise up to 20,000, each family will have to pay two or three thousand taels of silver. In the past, it is not much, but if they are killed by Shanyue people, these two or three thousand taels of silver are a lot, so they will naturally have to spend more money.
If you send it out rashly, you may not only not get any benefits, but you may not even get favors.
As for what it is, he has said just now, and Zheng Luntai thinks Tan Zong should be able to understand.
After hearing what Zheng Luntai said, Tan Zong's face did not change at all. Instead, he smiled like a smile, as if Zheng Luntai's sarcastic words were not like himself. He turned his head and patted Huang * Yao's hand, who was already a little white, to relax the woman who had not experienced any big scenes. Tan Zong chuckled and said, "If this is true, Tan Zong would like to thank you for your kindness."
Tan Zong's words, coupled with his expression at this moment, made him look very real and frivolous. The bigwigs from the trading clubs opposite were frowning, not knowing why Tan Zong could still laugh at this time.
But Tan Zong ignored their thoughts and continued, "But, this is probably not enough for the 20,000 taels of silver to satisfy my appetite. Do you think it's, Lord Lin?" Tan Zong turned his head to look at Lin Qingyun who looked at him again, and smiled, regardless of whether Lin Qingyun would complain about this, and simply said to Zheng Luntai: "I have a very big appetite this time. If I want to satisfy me, I am afraid that this little money is really not enough. But..."
Tan Zong looked around everyone again, and saw that most of the people's appetites were raised by him, so he spoke: "If every family here is willing to pay 20,000 yuan, plus those who have not been present, it will probably be almost done."
"Mr. Tan is really a big appetite!" Before Zheng Luntai could speak, Ma Bolai next to him spoke first.
This Ma Bolai is like his surname, and his family is doing business with carriages and horses. This time, the Shanyue people robbed the county town, which was the most serious. The horses placed in the city were all snatched away by those Shanyue people. You must know that this is in the south. Even if a horse cannot be sold at a sky-high price of thousands of taels, it is still worth hundreds of taels. In summary, the loss of horses alone is probably tens of thousands of taels. If it weren't for some horses stored outside the city, I'm afraid that the carriages and horses would not be able to drive them.
At this time, Ma Bolai was still chattering: "Let's not mention our Wuxi Trading Company. Just the cabin, each with 20,000 yuan, wouldn't it be 120,000 yuan? You still want our entire Wuxi Trading Company to come together. Lord Tan, aren't you afraid of eating a stomachache? But be careful that you have the life to eat today and the life to lose your life tomorrow."
Ma Bolai is a rough man, and he always looks like this no matter who he talks with. But in this situation today, it is not worth talking so carelessly. Because these words are too direct, even a little room for maneuver. Not to mention Huang Wenda, the old fox, even Zheng Luntai couldn't help but curse a fool in his heart, sighing that the person who sleeps with beasts all day is indeed as stupid as a beast.
But at this moment, the entire Wuxi trading company is one. Even if Ma Bo said something wrong, Zheng Luntai had to stand up and support him. However, Zheng Luntai was not stupid enough to go up and force Ma Bolai directly. Instead, he used a strategy of defaming first and then leaning on him. He criticized Ma Bolai: "Brother Ma said this wrongly."
After saying that, Zheng Luntai made another whisper, then pretended to behave and criticized Ma Bolai for a few words without any pain. Zheng Luntai turned his head and showed a three-point sincere and sincere smile and said: "However, Lord Tan, please forgive Xiaomin for saying something inappropriate: If you really insist on this, I am afraid that even if we here can figure it out, we can't represent the entire Wuxi trading company. I'm afraid that there will be some troubles in the future. It should be noted that the people in Wuxi City are now floating, which is a big taboo."
Seeing Zheng Luntai's performance, Tan Zong wanted to laugh again. Zheng Luntai's words were actually not much better than Ma Bolai just now. However, Zheng Luntai was obviously used to taking the conspiracy route. While he was talking affectionately, he also expressed the threatening nakedness. He was also considered a strange person - a shameless strange person.
However, I have to say that Zheng Luntai's words made these Wuxi men feel proud. Zheng Luntai's words were really slapping Tan Zong in the face. Moreover, unless Tan Zong tear his face, he would probably have to suffer this aura.
But Tan Zong quickly made everyone understand a truth, and he could not use common sense to speculate.
After getting off the seat, Tan Zong ignored others. He first brought Huang *yao up, and then said in a deep voice: "If you want to talk about it, my concubine has just passed the door, and she hasn't even finished the notes from the county government. After a few days, she still has to worry about Lord Lin's care."
Lin Qingyun couldn't help but nodded when he saw Tan Zong mentioning him. Lin Qingyun could see that Zheng Luntai's personal words just now seemed majestic and had no temper at all. But from beginning to end, Tan Zong didn't seem to be a little kicked. He was clearly confident. So Tan Zong stood up and spoke at this moment, and must have a curse and was ready to fight back at the moment when Zheng Luntai and others were most proud.
At this time, Tan Zong changed his heavy expression and put his hand on Huang *yao's head without hesitation. Then he slowly spoke: "If my concubine enters my Tan family, even if she doesn't say it out, maybe everyone knows it, so I won't go into detail." Speaking of this, Tan Zong's voice became even more low-key, but then he gradually rose: "It's not a glorious thing to say, but I can't help but want to ask Lord Lin, more than 400 public officials in Wuxi County fought for the people of Wuxi County that day, but what did our Wuxi County do for these warriors? What did our Wuxi County do for these warriors?"
When Tan Zong spoke, as the word order gradually progressed, his voice became louder and louder, and in the end it was already louder. Especially when Tan Zong glared at Lin Qingyun, Tan Zong seemed to be majestic!
At this time, almost everyone, including Lin Qingyun, thought that Tan Zong came to accuse Lin Qingyun today!
ps: Finally, I should have written it more carefully here, especially this process of getting higher and higher emotions. If I could write it in detail, it would probably be very exciting... Unfortunately, I don’t have time and energy.
