But there was also someone who defended Lin Yuqing. This man had a round face and a short stature. He stood up and said, "Looking at it, I don't actually blame the young master."
"When the young master came to Dazheng and had nothing, why should he open up the situation?"
"Let alone a powerful official, who can think highly of a young master? In January, the Zheng Dynasty only distributed 16 taels of silver, while the country did not allocate a penny."
"Sixteen taels may seem like a lot, but this is the capital, where food, housing, and transportation are all expensive. With this little money, I can't even buy charcoal in the winter, and I almost freeze to death!"
"If the young master hadn't mastered piano and chess, won the appreciation of the noble lady, gradually gained fame, and was included in the inner circle of the government, why would he have the foundation he has today?"
"This kind of thing is a matter of your own free will, and the master has never forced me to do it. Unless someone makes this matter public, even if someone occasionally says something, as long as there is no evidence, it is just a harmless affair."
It happened that someone exposed it in public, which made those people lose face and at the same time deeply hate Lin Yuqing.
"Yes, the person who did this is really hateful. Who is this person?" Speaking of this, everyone was a little embarrassed. Yes, if Lin Yuqing hadn't become a first-class duck, why would they be in Dazheng?
To gain a foothold, does it depend on ability?
There are so many capable people, but they are all lying dead in the streets.
Then the topic changed and someone began to speculate about this enemy.
If you continue to stare at such vicious tactics, there is no guarantee that another vicious trick will not be used.
They were already very sad. If they were hit again, they might not be able to return to Lin Country.
In the past twenty years, even though Lin Yuqing had always been kind in Zheng Dynasty and did not easily get grudges with others, in fact, Lin Feng would destroy all the good things. If he wanted to build a good reputation, he would always step on some people to rise to power. These people
Here, it may not be that he doesn’t hold grudge against Lin Yuqing.
The dozen or so people present followed this line of thinking and guessed who was behind the scenes.
Some people said that they were some of the people who had lost to Young Master in the chess master competition before.
Others say, is he a love rival? After all, Lin Yuqing has many admirers, and it is inevitable that these rich ladies have related people. It is possible that they can't stand the young master.
But after everyone guessed, no one guessed Su Ziji's head.
Lin Yuqing held the note in her hand, and her heart was almost bleeding. If it hadn't been for this note to remind him, he might not have thought of Su Ziji.
After all, even if this person has recently risen to prominence, he is not considered to have any weight in the entire capital. At best, he is just a novice who has never even entered the political gate.
But unfortunately, this person was probably the one who tripped me.
There are some things that I am afraid of being reminded of. If no one reminds me, I would never think of it. But once someone reminds me, all the inconsistencies will be explained.
"No wonder Su Ziji didn't mind the fact that my men injured the guest, and he didn't even mention it. It turns out that he had been planning such revenge for a long time."
"It's a pity that I have grown by more than ten years, and yet I was fooled around by a teenage boy. How ridiculous."
As for whether the words on the note are true, although I have doubts, when I think about Su Ziji not coming back, I am fine, and when I come back, I will be in trouble, this suspicion is indeed very high.
Lin Yuqing closed her eyes, suppressed the sweetness in her throat, and said, "Everyone, sell Mingli's property immediately, and then we will prepare to retreat."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was immediately shocked.
One person said anxiously: "Master, must this be the case?"
These industries have been operating for nearly twenty years. Even though they have always felt that the situation has become serious enough that it may affect their return to the country, they are still very reluctant to give up now.
Some people also pointed out the biggest problem: "Sir, you want to return to the country, but Emperor Zheng has not allowed us to leave, so you are selling off your property like this. If you can't leave now, wouldn't it be..."
madness!
Lin Yuqing opened her eyes suddenly, looked at the speaker, and glanced around again.
Some of these people are talented and have been attracted by him, and some are sent by Lin Guo's father who is worried about him to assist him, or in other words, to monitor him.
In his opinion, many of them are idiots. They can delegate some things at ordinary times, but they will only delay them at critical times.
It's not what happened this time, it's all his own fault. He really can't take the blame. He can't scold him. I'm afraid he can't bear it now.
But because it was all about himself, he had to work hard to suppress all the intense emotions in his heart: "Listen, it's Akari's property."
"If we don't cut off the industry in the open, why don't we just wait for others to find out the clues and wipe out all our secret forces?"
"Since Akari's property will suffer losses no matter what, and it will be copied if it is not sold, why not sell it at a low price and cut off contact with Anri?"
"Our twenty years of operation is no small matter. As long as we cut off contact, at least half of it can be retained in Dazheng, which can be slowly restored."
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at each other, it was really reasonable.
"As for the Emperor, there is no need to wait for permission. We must retreat decisively. Otherwise, we will not be able to leave. I will give you five days to prepare. After five days, no matter what the outcome, we will evacuate immediately!"
After saying that, Lin Yuqing waved his hand to signal the meeting to end.
When only a few of his own people were left, Lin Yuqing rubbed his eyebrows and sneered at the scribe: "Mr. Cen, even if everything I said is reasonable, I can't refute a word, but some of them must be dissatisfied."
"I can't trust them, Mr. Cen. I heard that you know Jianghu Ke - I mean Yijian Chunhan Zeng Nianzhen. I hope you can contact him. As long as you escort me back to Lin Country, I will give him three thousand taels of silver!"
Lin Yuqing's expression returned to calmness, but his tone was different from his usual gentleness and seemed aggressive.
Mr. Cen was still calm at this time and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will be able to find him, but there is no guarantee whether he is willing or not."
Yijian Chunhan Zeng Nianzhen is a famous swordsman, followed by many people in the world, and has a lot of potential power. Why is he said to be a potential power, because this person has not officially established a gang.
"If you can find it, it's a great achievement if you spread my message." Lin Yuqing seemed to not mind smiling: "The rest depends on God's will."
Watching Mr. Cen go out, the round-faced and muscular man did not move. After a moment, the round-faced man asked: "Is there something suspicious about Mr. Cen?"
"Cen Rubai is not suspicious at all, but he is from Zheng, not from Lin. He has been coming here all the time. Although I treat him with more courtesy, I can only call him son, not lord."
"I have to be careful - Lu Yu, you keep an eye on me and let the people behind the scenes break away from their original contact and command."
Round-faced Lu Yu heard this and responded loudly.
"Chi Yingrui, please contact Dalin's fleet directly. I remember that they have already arrived and ordered them not to enter the capital, but to wait in the suburbs along the river."
"Yes!" Chi Yingrui, a muscular man, also responded.
After the two orders were issued, Lin Yuqing finally relaxed the pressure and couldn't help but turn his eyes outside, only to see darkness, thick clouds in the sky covering the light, and a slight howling wind carrying raindrops, making people shiver.
"You go and do things!" Lin Yuqing took a deep breath and said to the attendant: "Go and prepare the ox cart. I'm going to Taohua Lane to visit Su Ziji."
The last few words, he said slowly, had an unforgettable flavor.
