Lin Wanrong hurriedly gave the young lady a hand, are you confused, you little girl? Now that Tao Dongcheng himself has written evidence in his hands, he can just take over the Tao family, what's the point of arguing? Even if the Xiao family is a fraud, your surname Tao can only admit it. Tao Dongcheng has done so many bad things. I blackmailed him once. Do you have the guts to bite me
Tao Yu said: "My son Dongcheng accidentally contracted an illness yesterday, and he is recuperating at home now. When the injury recovers, it won't be too late to confront you."
Aftercare? I'm afraid it's being recuperated on the belly of some chick. Lin Wanrong thought of his masterpiece and felt amused.
The eldest lady snorted, "Lord Tao, I'm just a commoner girl. You are an official of the imperial court, so naturally you know more laws and regulations than I do."
She took out a contract from her bosom, which was exactly the document that Tao Dongcheng signed and pledged on the Qingyu Building that day: "This document was signed by Mr. Tao in the Qingyu Building, and there is Mr. Xu Wei, a first-rank scholar. Sign it with your own hand to show that he personally notarized it. This written evidence is clear evidence, and the facts are all there, so Master Tao also wants to deny it?"
"Bold Xiao Yuruo, how dare you deceive me? Master Xu is a virtuous minister of the court, with such a noble status, how can you know Master Xu as a woman? I'm afraid you forged this seal." Tao Yu said savagely. .
"Bold!" Gao Chief stepped forward, pointed at Tao Yuhuo and shouted, "You little Zhima official, how dare you doubt Master Xu Wei's seal? Dog's eyes grow to the sky?"
"Who are you?" Tao Yu shouted hurriedly when he saw that this man was tall and strong, with sharp eyes.
Gao Chief took out a golden token from his waist, waved it in front of him and said, "I am the first-rank guard with a sword in the palace, and I am ordered to protect Lord Xu Wei. The seal on this book is written by Master Xu Wei himself. Worried about someone cheating. You specifically asked me to go to Jinling to clarify the matter. You dog official saw the seal but pretended not to know it. Could it be that you are going to reverse it?"
The high chief served as a guard in the palace, and all he saw were princes and ministers. In his eyes, Suzhou Weaving is just a sesame official. The people around the emperor, even if they didn't have any official positions, were three points higher than every official. He kept scolding Tao Yu as a dog official, so Tao Yu naturally didn't dare to speak.
The eldest lady didn't talk nonsense with Tao Yu, and handed the written note to Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong took the note and walked around in front of everyone in the field, shaking the written note: "Fathers, you can see clearly, This is Tao Dongcheng's personal signature and pledge. It is a clear proof that Tao's cloth village will be transferred to my Xiao's family. Our eldest lady is kind and compassionate, and she didn't want to deliberately make things difficult for the Tao's family, so she gave them a day to move. How could I expect the Tao's family to move today? You are so arrogant. Not only did you beat up the reception representatives sent by my Xiao family, but you also forfeited the documents, even the ones you personally signed and affixed? Mr. Tao is an official, but I would like to ask all the folks , Can an official bully our kind-hearted people at will? Today he bullied the Xiao family. Will he bully the Zhang family and Li family tomorrow? Is there no place for reason in this world?"
Lin Wanrong's words were half-truth and half-false, and the coquettish Biao Young Master changed suddenly in his mouth. He became the reception representative sent by the Xiao family, the messenger of justice, and the embodiment of bravery. Young Master Biao felt refreshed when he heard that, he held his head high and said, "Let go of me, let me go quickly."
Lin Wanrong's last few words were extremely provocative, and he made it clear that he wanted to provoke a harmonious relationship between the government and the people. Immediately, there was a burst of shouts from the crowd, "Let me go, let me go". After a while, the voice resonated and became stronger.
The eldest lady saw the booing people in the crowd, they looked very familiar, they looked like servants of the Xiao family's inner mansion, she even saw Xiao Feng and Side, among the crowd they were the ones who shouted the most. Lin Wanrong winked at her and smiled slightly, yes, this is Tuo.
Seeing the anger of the people, Tao Yu couldn't help but change his expression, stepped back a few steps, and shouted loudly: "Close the door—"
"Lord Luo, the governor of Jiangsu, has arrived—" a long cry woke up everyone in the field. A small sedan chair was carried up from a distance.
Lin Wanrong sighed secretly, Luo Min, an old fox, always chooses to play at critical moments, probably to scare my life away. Needless to say, this old boy must have been hiding in a dark corner to watch a good show before. Seeing that Tao Yu had nothing to say after the eldest lady had argued, he showed up to pick a ready-made cheap one.
Hearing that the Governor had arrived, the crowd fell silent, Lin Wanrong winked, and Side retreated with a group of nurses.
Luo Min got off the sedan chair with a big belly, looked around pretending to be serious, and said with a straight face: "I am out of the city on business, passing by here, but I saw people gathered here, what happened, why is this place so noisy?"
"My subordinate, Tao Yu, I have met Lord Shouxian." Seeing that the Governor-General came in person, Tao Yu hurried forward to meet him. He secretly colludes with Cheng De, but he also understands that this Luo Min is by no means something that a small Suzhou weaving company like him can offend.
"Hey, Master Tao, are you here too? When did you return from Suzhou? Why didn't the government get any news?"
Luo Min said in an official tone. An official ordered by the imperial court to leave without permission from the Supreme Constitution is not a light crime. If Luo Min read a book on this, it would be enough for Tao Yu to drink a pot of land.
Tao Yu hastily said respectfully: "Your Majesty returned to Jinling due to an urgent matter at home. Because of the urgency of the situation, I have not had time to ask for leave. I am going to report to the Lord's residence. I did not expect to meet the Lord here."
Luo Min let out a long sigh and said: "So that's the case. Mr. Tao's family has urgent matters, which is understandable, and the government will not pursue it. It's just that these people gathered in front of your residence today, what is the matter?"
"This, it's just some trivial folk matters. The lower officials have already dealt with them, so I don't dare to worry about adults." Tao Yu said respectfully.
"What are folk trifles? Master Tao said it lightly." The eldest lady sneered, stepped forward slowly, and saluted Luo Min respectfully: "Minister Xiao Yuruo, I have met Lord Luo, and I ask you to be the master of my Xiao family and return me." The Xiao family is fair."
Luo Min glanced at Tao Yu and said, "Why did Miss Xiao say that? You are an old descendant of Xiao Ge, who dares to bully you? I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in the middle?"
Xiao Yuruo presented the letter with both hands, and respectfully said: "This seal was written by Master Xu Wei himself, and the bet was justified by Master Xu himself, and Master Xu also specially appointed a first-rank guard in the palace, Master Gao Chief, to come to Jinling to prove it in person. This matter. Please look into it carefully, my lord."
Gao Chief clenched his fists and said, "I will tell Master Luo that this betting matter was witnessed by Master Xu, and I wrote a pen to prove it, so I came here specially for this."
Luo Min nodded, glanced at the seal, and said in surprise: "Mr. Wen Chang really mentioned it himself."
After reading the contents of the note, he frowned, pulled Tao Yu aside, and said softly, "Master Tao, is this really your son's handprint?"
Tao Yu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes."
Luo Min sighed: "Lord Tao, it's not that I'm talking about you, it's just that your son is really reckless this time, how can this Tao's shop be used to gamble with others so easily? He even signed calligraphy and painting and put a mortgage on it, making it an ironclad proof?"
Tao Yu sighed heavily. Tao Dongcheng was young and old, shrewd and capable, and he had always been reassuring in his work, but he couldn't figure out why he fell on the Xiao family this time.
Luo Min continued to sell and said: "Master Tao, you and I are officials in the same province, and we have the friendship of subordinates. If it is normal, I will definitely help you suppress this matter. But the bad thing is that your son messed with you." Who is not good enough to offend Mr. Xu Wei. Even if I tear up this document now, Mr. Xu Wei still knows about it. You and I know who Mr. Xu is. To put it in a bad way, you and I Taken together, it is not enough for Master Xu's little finger strength, how can I help you?"
Luo Min narrowed her small eyes tightly, with a heartbroken look, as if she was sincerely thinking about the Tao family. Tao Yu's brows were silent, depressed, and both of them seemed to be worried. Except for Lin Wanrong, how could anyone else see the two of them? Is it true that they seem to be in harmony with each other, and each is his own master
Luo Min whispered a few more words to Tao Yu, Tao Yu's face turned miserable, he glanced at the eldest lady, snorted fiercely, thought for a long time, and finally nodded cruelly.
Luo Min walked over and smiled at Xiao Yuruo: "Miss Xiao, there is some misunderstanding in this matter, I have explained it clearly to Master Tao. Since Master Xu Wei is the guarantor in person, there will be no problems, Master Tao has already agreed Transferring the Tao family cloth shop to the Xiao family, I hope that the eldest miss will remember Master Tao's teachings for good business management, and don't let Master Tao lose the capital."
"Since that's the case, Yu Ruo thanked Master Tao for his understanding and righteousness, and also thanked Master Luo for being fair and straightforward." The eldest lady said softly with a smile on her face. Tao Yu snorted angrily and walked away.
Lin Wanrong secretly gave the old fox Luo Min a thumbs up. Luo Min smiled and went back home. He came here just for this matter.
The next thing will be much easier. Tao Yu has left, and the servants of the Tao family will naturally not stay. The property of the Tao family's cloth village, including the cloth, all belong to the Xiao family. According to Lin Wanrong's words, this time it is really developed. ***, marry a hundred wives, and make a hundred clothes for each person, and the cloth can't be used up.
Inventory, inspection, receiving, the eldest lady was busy conscientiously, but Lin Wanrong was not interested in these trivial matters at all. I was born to be the chairman of the board. He looked at the figure of the eldest lady and smiled.
It's okay to be busy, but now that he's free, he feels uncomfortable, the weather is getting colder, and the Chinese New Year will be a month away. After the new year, I want to go north to the capital to find Qingxuan, and the second lady can go to the capital to study together, but what about coincidence? Do you want to leave that girl alone in Jinling? Isn't this killing me
When he was thinking about his thoughts, he had already arrived at the downstairs of Shi Weixian, and Qiaoqiao's surprised voice came from upstairs: "Brother, are you back?"
