Chapter 276 Lin Run treats guests
Zheng Yuanshao dared not refuse this time, and took the ticket with both hands and said, "Lin Zhongcheng is wise and will not be fooled by it easily."
"No matter how awesome he is, he doesn't have three heads and six arms. He has to rely on the bottom to do things. He can do it alone." Xu Ying sneered:
"I won't hide it from you now. Many of Lin Run's men are already standing by our side. With your help from Zheng Zhan, he just waited to sit on the wax!"
Zheng Yuanshao didn't know whether this was true or false, but he had no intention of verifying it. Now he just wanted to stay alone, and it would be even better if there was a crack in the ground that could get into it.
No matter what the Xu brothers said, he responded in a daze, and then he got off the pleasure boat in a daze.
Looking at his disappearing back, Xu Ying couldn't help but ask curiously: "How did the elder brother know this guy's secret?"
"Thanks to Lu Bing." Xu Fan chuckled and said, "The Jinyiwei under his command was very powerful and specialized in spying on the secret scandals of civil and military officials around the world, and then blackmailed them."
"I know this." Xu Ying nodded and said, "This is the case among the crimes announced by the court last year."
"But the Jinyiwei collected too much black material and could not blackmail it at all. They packed the black accounts of officials below the fifth rank and prepared to enjoy it in a few years when they were promoted and made a fortune."
"After Lu Yi took over, he felt that the situation was not good, so he ordered people to send the boxes of black accounts back to his hometown in Pinghu, and to use them as amulets for his tribe members in the future." Xu Fan said lightly: "Later, the Lu family was confiscated and recovered the stolen goods. Those boxes of black accounts followed the Lu family's property and came to our house."
"Hey, why didn't I find it?" Xu Ying couldn't help but feel ashamed: "I have read all the accounts of the Lu family, nothing unusual."
"Of course you can't understand." Xu Fan smiled faintly and said, "They used the secret text of the Jinyiwei, and they must learn it specifically."
"That's it." Xu Ying suddenly realized and said with some concern: "Brother, the person surnamed Zheng will not be repeated, right? What if we sell it with Lin Run?"
"Don't worry, he will never do it." Xu Fan said with disdain: "It sounds better than the singing. In fact, it's just an official fan. As long as he can continue to be an official, it won't hurt to shoot his father, let alone the Lin's surname is not his father..."
"That's good." Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, put away the 10,000 taels of tickets on the table, and couldn't help but smile: "Can anyone named Lin return to Songjiang again? Maybe we'll be in vain."
"That's best." Xu Fan also chuckled: "If the silk sales route is not solved, Suzhou will not be able to stop for a while."
"Then our beloved Lin Zhongcheng, some of them are busy." Xu Ying was so happy. "I didn't expect that the situation that seemed so passive would be settled by the elder brother in every possible way."
"Where is this?" Xu Fan sat back on his seat with satisfaction and asked the opera troupe to play again: "I haven't acted seriously yet."
"Brother is so awesome!" Xu Ying hurriedly poured wine for him, thinking that if he would tell the matter of Meichuo Meichuan to the eldest brother and ask him to come up with an idea?
But in that case, he couldn't hide the secret of collusion with Japanese pirates at home behind his back... That was two different concepts from selling goods to maritime merchants!
Thinking of the serious consequences after saying this, Xu Ying finally held back and didn't mention it.

Suzhou, Governor's Office.
Lin Zhongcheng was also treating someone to dinner.
He specially ordered the chef he brought from Fujian to carefully cook a table of top-quality Fujian cuisine.
First, to express gratitude, and second, to show my face to the chef in my hometown in front of the boss of the world's No. 1 restaurant.
He sent two invitations in total, respectively, including Jiang Xueying, president of Jiangnan Company, and Mr. Zhao, who doesn't know what position he has in Jiangnan Company.
But just like when I invited the Lu Gu family in the previous episode, this time there was only a idle young master Zhao, and President Jiang found a reason to refuse the invitation from the governor.
Every time a dignified governor treats a guest, there are always ordinary people absent, which is really a bit of a shame for self-esteem.
But this is the fact that in bulk Nanzhili, the people often go out to the streets to make trouble.
These wealthy families with deep backgrounds have no awe of the government and only consider their own interests in everything.
The boy in front of you is the best example.
Not only did Lin Run not be able to act like a governor in front of him, but he also had to forget the gap between age and identity and patiently coax him.
"Come on, try this 'Chrysanthemum bass' and see how it compares to the 'squirrel mandarin fish' in Suzhou?" He smiled and pointed with chopsticks. The dish looked like chrysanthemums, with a very beautiful appearance.
Zhao Hao then picked up a golden chrysanthemum-shaped fish piece and put it into his mouth for a taste. He felt it was crispy, tender, sweet and sour, and could not help but praise: "It's sweet and sour, let's have a meal."
"Uh..." Lin Runxin said, what is his comment?
Then he used a spoon to scoop a piece of jade ring-like dish and delivered it to the plate in front of Zhao Hao. He smiled and said, "Come on, try this 'ring ring-like scallop' again."
"What is this and what?" Mr. Zhao looked at the white and yellow thing and asked curiously.
"Outside is a sleeve made of white radish, inside is a scallops with water off the edges, steam it in a pot for an hour, then pour the steamed sauce on it, and then serve it with a little seasoning." Lin Zhongcheng opened his mouth and became a glutton.
"Yeah." Zhao Hao took a bite and praised: "Fresh and salty food, too."
"This drunken rib..." Lin Zhongcheng recommended another one.
"Spicy and sour taste? This one is more for dinner!" Mr. Zhao's comments are still very friendly.
"Are you the boss of Weijixian?" Lin Run finally couldn't hold back and said with a blank look: "You can't say a few words of lingo?"
"You Hu Jianren is still 'Yaya'." Zhao Hao muttered secretly, picked up a veil and wiped his mouth and said, "I used curry in the drunken ribs. Where did this thing come from?"
"It's indeed an expert." Lin Run praised and said for granted: "I have already opened a sea in Fujian. Isn't it very reasonable to have spices from Tianzhu?"
"Reasonable, very reasonable." Zhao Hao nodded and couldn't help but say casually: "Hu Jianren is so happy, and he can still do business with overseas."
Seeing that the boy finally showed his fox's tail, Lin Zhongcheng couldn't help but curl up his lips, and his smile could fascinate the young woman in Suzhou.
"What, are you envious?"
"Of course." Zhao Hao smiled frankly and said, "If Jiangnan Company eats so much silk, wouldn't everything be fine if it can be sold overseas?"
"Yes, the provinces in the Ming Dynasty can basically be self-sufficient, and the demand is limited after all. You can't sell so much silk by domestic sales." Lin Run asked casually:
"You never thought about whether the silk merchant's head was squeezed by the door or kicked by the donkey, why did he produce so much silk before?"
"No." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and said, "I also find it strange."
"Okay, don't pretend to be stupid!" Lin Run knew that this guy was playing Tai Chi and pushed two people, so he pointed out:
"Originally, 70% of their goods were sold overseas, and the entire Jiangnan silk weaving industry was supported by smuggling!"
