Chapter 178 Treasure Competition(2/6)
After all, the first priority is to go to Jiangnan treasures this time.
...
Three days later,
Tang Qi walked into the hall quickly and said respectfully: "Sir, several families in Yingtian Mansion want to invite you to the banquet."
Lin Mang put down his pen and smiled, "I didn't expect these guys to be unable to sit still so soon."
He had long guessed that his actions would inevitably touch the interests of the Yingtianfu family.
Recently, the court has once again implemented Zhang Juzheng's new policy, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people.
The person who implemented the new policy at that time was Zhang Juzheng, so he could naturally suppress it, but it was not certain that he would change someone.
Although the prime minister Shen Shixing is also determined, he does not have the courage of Zhang Juzheng after all.
His series of decisive actions were also forcing these people to appear on their own initiative.
It seems that these guys are preparing to stage a "treat first and then soldiers".
If you think about it carefully, it seems that you have always had no good things whenever you attend a banquet.
Lin Mang stood up and looked out the window, chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, then see you."
...
Nanjing, Tianhai Tower.
This building is the first floor of Nanjing City. Although it is a little worse than the first floor of Beijing City, it can be called the first floor in Jiangnan.
As soon as Lin Mang arrived, five people rushed out in the restaurant.
The five people were dressed in a sense of luxury and luxury from the inside to the outside.
This outfit alone is much more expensive than the flying fish suits given by the Jinyiwei.
Lin Mang sighed inwardly.
The luxury of Jiangnan is indeed not a false statement.
He is rich.
The leader is an old man about sixty years old, but he is full of energy and has a great majesty while walking.
This person is the head of the Ling family in Nanjing. Ling Xuan is also famous in the world.
The Ling family is famous for its stick technique and is second only to the four major families in Jiangnan in the world.
Ling Xuan took the initiative to step forward, bowed and said, "Caomin has seen Lord Lin."
Seeing this, the remaining heads of the family looked at each other and greeted each other.
To be honest, they didn't plan to come up with it.
This person acted without regard to the interests of major families at all and had already touched their bottom line.
Some things are easy to swallow, but it is difficult to let them spit them out again.
If Ling Xuan hadn't insisted repeatedly, they would never have come out.
Lin Mang chuckled, shook his head and said, "You don't have to be polite."
"Let's go."
"I also want to try the food in Nanjing."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xuan and others looked at each other silently, as if this one was quite easy to talk to.
Everyone came all the way to the private room on the top floor.
On the side of the box, a dancer danced slowly, dancing graceful dance.
Lin Mangdingqing glanced at him.
It is said that women in Jiangnan are gentle, but when they see each other today, they are really extraordinary.
It has a unique flavor.
Ling Xuan and his others took the initiative to give up Lin Mang.
When the wine and food were served, Lin Mang did not hesitate to eat it directly.
However, Ling Xuan and the others were full of words but couldn't speak.
After a long time, Lin Mang wiped his mouth with satisfaction and smiled, "Don't you eat me?"
Ling Xuanyang looked at the empty plate on the table and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
What to eat?
However, they invited Lin Mang here today, not to have a meal.
"Mr. Lin." Ling Xuan bowed and said, "I wish you this cup."
"Mr. Lin first arrived in Yingtian, and we have not come to visit us. I am here to apologize to Mr. Lin."
As he said that, he coughed gently.
Soon, two luxuriously dressed women walked in with brocade boxes outside the hall.
"Mr. Lin, a little gift is not worthy of respect."
Ling Xuan looked at Lin Mang in a faint way and signaled the woman to open the brocade box in her hand.
One of the brocade boxes contains a night pearl the size of a fist.
Just this night pearl is already valuable.
As for the other brocade box, there is a stack of silver notes.
Ling Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please accept a little gift."
"Just think it was donated to the Jinyiwei."
Ling Xuanren is a mature man, so he naturally will not say such words as bribery.
Not only these two, but even these two women were carefully selected.
If this policing envoy needs it, you can send it to him.
As long as the money is collected, things will be easier.
Many officials came to Jiangnan were honest officials before they came, but what happened after they came? They all lived a life of luxury.
Isn’t the same with the Jinyiwei in Jiangnan?
Lin Mang gave him a meaningful look, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"I heard that Jiangnan is rich. When I see you today, I will be well-known."
It is better to give yourself such a generous gift than to prevent the implementation of the new policy, which shows how huge the benefits there are.
Listening to Lin Mang's words, Ling Xuan's expression moved slightly, and his heart was inexplicably sank.
An old man bowed and said, "Mr. Lin..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Mang said coldly: "You don't have anything to say here!"
Lin Mang put down his wine glass and said bluntly: "You don't have to do so many twists and turns."
"Since I have come, I have no plans to leave empty-handed."
"You have to listen to the new policy in Jiangnan, and you have to listen to it even if you don't."
"This is the major plan of the court. If you don't cooperate, you are causing trouble for your official."
"I don't like trouble, so I usually solve all the people who cause trouble."
"Of course, if you have enough courage, you can also meet with me."
If you dare not rebel, you have to be obedient!
Lin Mang smiled coldly and said coldly: "At that time... let's see if your head is hard or if my official's sword is hard."
quiet……
In the private room, he suddenly fell into silence.
The few of them were a little stunned.
After saying that, Lin Mang got up and took the two brocade boxes.
"As for this thing, I suspect it is related to a theft case and will be temporarily detained."
When Lin Mang walked to the door, his steps suddenly stopped.
"It seems that the few of them look like rich people, so why don't you give some to the court."
"A family of 300,000 taels is not too much, right?"
Lin Mang looked back at everyone with a cold expression.
To be continued...
