"Si De, don't panic, you must stay calm. When the sky falls, the wife and young lady will carry it first, and then it will be our turn." Lin Wanrong laughed. The eldest lady gave him a blank look.
Si De was out of breath, out of breath, and said anxiously and panicked: "Third Brother, Miss, it's not good. Master Biao, Master Biao was beaten—"
"What? Was someone beaten?" Lin Wanrong asked in shock.
Although Young Master Biao is flamboyant, he is not a troublemaker. What's more, with the material and financial resources of the Xiao family, although it is not possible to walk sideways in Jinling, not everyone dares to bully them. Why did someone beat Young Master Biao? Damn it, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, don't you know that Young Master Wuchang is covered by my third brother Lin
"Who, who hit my cousin?" The eldest lady hurriedly said.
Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered that Young Master Biao took Side and others to ransack Tao's shop in a pretentious manner. Could it be that Tao's people beat him up
Si De said anxiously: "We went to take over the shop of the Tao family with Young Master Biao, and we happened to meet Master Tao. Without saying a word, they started beating us and arrested Master Biao. The little one escaped desperately, just to ask Madame and Miss report, and now I will go back to save the young master."
Save the fart, you ran away when you ran away, and you said it in a high-sounding way, comparable to Lao Tzu. However, there is nothing wrong with this point. Run away if you can't win.
After hearing what he said, the eldest lady said anxiously: "We are still discussing how to deal with this matter. Why did my cousin go so recklessly? Can't wait for a while?"
"Master Tao? Is Tao Yu weaving in Suzhou?" Lin Wanrong asked the young lady. It seems that what Master Xiao Si said just now was right, this Tao Yu really rushed to Jinling, but I don't know what happened to Tao Dongcheng and that little girl from the Tao family.
The eldest lady said angrily. "It's this person. Cousin is a bit reckless. But the Tao's store already belongs to my Xiao family, so it's only natural for my cousin to take over. How can Tao Yu beat and arrest people casually? I'll go and reason with him."
Lin Wanrong hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Miss, are you crazy? Reason with the officials? Official words, where are you going to reason with them?"
Lin Wanrong is not a brat, he knows that it is useless to say anything at this time, if you want to fight with officials, you must compare your strength.
"Lin San, what do you think should be done?" The eldest lady pondered for a moment. What Lin San said was right, she may have all kinds of means to do business, but if she wants to fight the villain, Lin San, the villain, has to do it.
Although Young Master Biao was a bit coquettish, he was still good to Lin Wanrong. What's more, it's Yushuang's cousin again, so no matter what he says, he can't be bullied by Tao. Damn it, this guy named Tao clearly shows the integration of government and business. Those who are both referees and athletes are fooling the common people.
"Si De, go to Governor Luo's mansion right away, and invite Brother Gao, the high chief who came back with us, to tell him what happened here. Then, please tell Master Luo to tell Master Luo to go to Tao's house Shop to see how the officials under him oppress good people. Fish and meat people." Lin Wanrong ordered.
After hearing what he said, the eldest lady hurriedly said: "Lin San, why did Master Luo come when you talk like this?"
Lin Wanrong smiled, Lao Luo and Xiao Luo and I are buddies, and I am still the noble person in their hearts, it would be strange if Lao Luo didn't come.
He smiled mysteriously, ignored the young lady's words, and said to Si De: "Go quickly. Be sure to find Brother Gao. After this is done, I will ask the young lady to increase your salary."
"Thank you third brother, Miss Xie." Si De went happily.
Seeing his mysterious appearance, the eldest lady couldn't help but said: "You don't want to give others some benefits casually, you are becoming more and more self-righteous."
Seeing that Lin San's arrangements were made properly, she felt much calmer. She was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and refused to show her face, so she snorted and stopped talking.
When Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady came to Tao's store, they saw many people watching the excitement around the door. Young Biao Master Guo Wuchang was strenuously tied up by several members of the Tao family and was cursing.
Lin Wanrong searched around, but did not see Tao Dongcheng and Tao Wanying. But there was a fat man in an official uniform standing in the middle, who looked a little like Tao Dongcheng, and had a lot of official authority. It must be Tao Yu weaving in Suzhou. The servants of the Tao family kept coming and going, moving the cloth from the shop to the carriage outside the door.
"Shameless." The young lady scolded softly, before the Xiao family could take over with the Tao family, the Xiao family would lose as much cloth as the Tao family moved.
"They transferred this cloth just to make my Xiao family an empty shell. It's really shameless." The eldest lady said bitterly.
Lin Wanrong nodded: "Although the method they adopted is shameless, we have no way to stop it. Cloth is certainly an income, but it is not the most important thing. What is more valuable is real estate such as shop real estate. These are fixed assets, and they are also sold. Channels, without channels, no matter how much cloth they have, it will rot at home.”
The eldest lady knew that what he said was right, she nodded her head, and seeing Guo Wuchang's miserable state, she couldn't help but sighed and said: "My cousin acted a little recklessly, this time I suffered a loss, next time I see him he still doesn't learn Be smart."
"I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, maybe it's a good thing. We're going to take over the Tao family's shop, and some small conflicts are always inevitable. After Master Biao made such a fuss, everyone knows that the classics are very beneficial to the Xiao family, and bad things can happen." It can become a good thing." Lin Wanrong calmly analyzed.
The eldest lady thought for a while, and there was indeed some truth, so she glanced at him and said nothing.
Lin Wanrong was waiting impatiently, when suddenly someone patted on the back, and said in a hearty voice: "Mr. Lin, I'm here." He looked back, and saw Gao Shou and Gao Chief brothers standing behind him Smile.
Lin Wanrong chuckled: "Thank you for your hard work, the two elder brothers. The two elder brothers have already understood the matter in front of them."
Gao Chief nodded and said: "Young Master Lin, please rest assured, Mr. Xu has already confessed before I left that there is written evidence for the establishment of Tao Dong, and Mr. Xu personally testified, so the Tao family can't deny it if they want to."
"In this way, isn't our behavior extremely just? Righteous?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and the two Gao brothers laughed together.
Lin Wanrong walked out behind the eldest lady. When the young master saw the two of them appearing, he immediately shouted loudly: "Cousin, cousin, come and save me. Lin San, come and save me—"
The eldest lady stepped forward, saluted Tao Yuyingly and said, "Minister Xiao Yuruo, I have met Master Tao."
Tao Yu sneered and said: "Miss Xiao is so imposing, she even sent someone to take over my Tao's shop, why do you take me seriously? I can't afford this gift from you."
Day, you dog official, you are doing business with the power in your hand, and you have the nerve to ask others to take you seriously? I have seen shameless ones, but I have never seen you so shameless, Lin Wanrong looked at the fat and fat Tao Yu, and sneered in his heart.
Miss Xiao said sternly: "Why did your lord say that? Yuruo has been in business for many years, and has always been self-restraining and law-abiding. Everything she says and does is in accordance with my Dahua's laws and regulations. I don't know what your lord means by this."
Tao Yu said coldly: "Miss Xiao, you sent someone here today, saying that you want to take over my Tao family's ancestral property, but you don't know why? I am a weaving official in Suzhou, and I am in charge of textile affairs in a province. What kind of business is it?" Busy, how can you be so presumptuous?"
Xiao Yuruo snorted and said, "Master Tao, the fact that my Xiao family took over the Tao family's cloth village is well known in Jinling business circles. Could it be that my lord really doesn't know? At the annual meeting between Hangzhou and Jinling, Mr. Tao and My Xiao family made a bet on the cloth shop of the Tao family. Unfortunately, Mr. Tao lost two rounds in a row, so he lost the shop to my Xiao family according to the agreement. There are documents from Mr. Tao as proof, and there are two sets in Jinling and Hangzhou. Hundreds of merchants from all over the country witnessed it in person, and Xu Wei, a scholar of the Wenhua Pavilion and Minister of the Ministry of Finance, personally notarized this matter. This matter cannot be faked. From the moment Mr. Tao wrote the document, this shop of the Tao family has belonged to my Xiao family. Yes, my Xiao family took over the property according to the agreement. It is legal and legal. What's wrong? Although your lord is expensive for Suzhou weaving, you have no right to arrest people at will. My cousin is not guilty or at fault. Why did you beat me for no reason? , Capture my cousin?"
Although Xiao Yuruo's tone was gentle, her voice was impassioned and resounding. Everyone in the audience heard that this was the legendary Miss Xiao. Seeing that she was not afraid of the powerful and powerful, and she was so graceful, they instinctively developed a good impression of her. Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, but today Miss Xiao is fighting for reason in the street. This kind of courage makes ordinary people feel at ease.
Tao Yu rolled his eyes, and said with a straight face: "Miss Xiao, the Hangzhou bet was caused by someone deliberately framing my son Dongcheng. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. I have already reported to Jiangsu Metropolitan Commander Cheng Cheng." Master De Cheng, Master Cheng is about to personally send someone to investigate this matter and return my Tao family's innocence. Your bet is beyond measure."
My day, I really deserve to be an official, with thick skin to such an extent, then Cheng De is from the military faction, you are from the political faction, even if you report to the higher authorities for a thorough investigation, you should report to Luo Min, the governor of Jiangsu, to do it What about Cheng De's bastard? Besides, this matter was witnessed by so many people, you overthrow it when you say it is overthrown? Damn it, a dog official is a dog official, and he can say such a high-sounding thing in one go.
Miss Xiao heard Tao Yu so confused black and white, confused right and wrong, her pretty face flushed with anger, and said angrily: "What does Mr. Tao mean by this? Could it be that he doubts the vision and wisdom of hundreds of merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Or is he suspicious of the customers? Minister Xu Wei, Mr. Xu’s justice? Then, Mr. Tao, please invite Young Master Ling, and if I, Xiao Yu, would like to argue with him in front of all the elders of Jinling present—”
