Zhang Wenyue was really forced by Zhang Yuelu and had no choice but to tell Zhang Yuelu about the situation related to Lin Yin's case.
Lin Yin was originally engaged in maritime trade. He was not rich by any means. He only had one ship. At most, he was an ordinary person, just making a living.
Just a few years ago, Lin Yin took over a deal related to the Taoist government, transporting a batch of goods to an island that was not within the normal route. The Taoist government built some fortifications on the island. At first
, it went by airship, not by sea ship, so it doesn’t matter whether it is within the normal route range.
Later, the Taoist government believed that transporting supplies by flying boat was too expensive, so it outsourced this part. A subordinate chamber of commerce that was not part of the Taoist government came forward to recruit ships.
Because it is not within the normal route, it has to pass through a reef, and there are sea monsters in sight, so the risk is relatively high. Although the price given by the Taoist government is quite high, there are still not many people willing to take it. After Lin Yin accepted the deal,
After many twists and turns and hardships, we finally arrived successfully. We drew corresponding charts and marked how to avoid reefs and sea monsters, thus opening up a new route.
In the following period, Lin Yin has been responsible for the transportation of materials here. Because of the huge demand and the high enough bid from the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yin made a lot of money and even began to plan to save money to buy a second ship.
At this moment, the Chamber of Commerce suddenly asked Lin Yin to hand over the nautical chart. People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Lin Yin wanted to rely on the Chamber of Commerce to do business. Although he was reluctant, he still handed over the nautical chart.
Unexpectedly, shortly after Lin Yin handed over the chart, the Chamber of Commerce kicked him out and handed the sale over to the Nanyang United Trading Company.
This Nanyang United Trading Company has a profound background and a large business. It does all kinds of business and has its tentacles extended to every corner of sea trade, even if it is a small profit.
It was actually nothing when things had developed to this point. Although Lin Yin was angry and angry, he knew that the Nanyang United Trading Company was a big business and he was really not someone he could afford to offend, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Later, Lin Yin heard someone say that the Nanyang United Trading Company always sank, either ran aground on the rocks, or was robbed by the sea monster, causing great losses. This made Lin Yin very surprised. He had clearly handed over the chart to Nanyang United.
Why is the trading company still a shipwreck? Is there something fishy in this?
So Lin Yin found an opportunity and decided to secretly follow the ships of Nanyang United Trading Company out to sea to see what was wrong. As a result, Lin Yin discovered that Nanyang United Trading Company did not sink the ship at all, but used the name of the shipwreck to embezzle the goods. This part
The loss was actually borne by the Dafu. In other words, it was the Nanyang United Trading Company that dug the walls of the Dafu.
horn.
After Lin Yin found out about this situation, he thought that Nanyang United Trading Company alone could not handle this matter. It must be in collusion with the Chamber of Commerce, so he could not go to the Chamber of Commerce. He decided to report the matter to the Taoist government.
Lin Yin came to the Fengxiantang Branch of the Taoist Prefecture to report the matter. The Fengxiantang Branch of the Taoist Prefecture took Lin Yin's report very seriously and responded quickly. It was quickly approved by the Fengxiantang Branch of Dongdu Prefecture.
The Feng Xiantang branch in the capital once again suppressed the situation and approved it again on the side of the Chamber of Commerce.
Then nothing happened.
The Chamber of Commerce has been suppressing it for more than half a year.
Lin Yin later reported several times, and they were eventually handled by the Chamber of Commerce. As Lin Yin expected, the Chamber of Commerce had long been in cahoots with Nanyang United Trading Company, so how could they investigate themselves? The stewards of the Chamber of Commerce even reported to Lin Yin
Shouting, "You just go to the main hall of Yujing Fengxian Hall to file a complaint. If I don't handle it for you, there's nothing you can do!"
On the other side, people from Nanyang United Trading Company learned about Lin Yin's report on him, and immediately sent people to find Lin Yin, threatened him, gave Lin Yin a severe lesson, beat Lin Yin black and blue, and also killed Lin Yin.
The ship sank.
The boat was Lin Yin's lifeblood, but at this point, the situation was still under control. Lin Yin reported it to the Taoist government again, but the Taoist government's response was still rapid, and the case was passed to the Dongdu Prefecture. Lin Yin
This time Yin did not mention the collusion between Nanyang United Trading Company and the Chamber of Commerce and corruption, but reported that Nanyang United Trading Company had scuttled his ship.
The Fu Guan of Dongdu Prefecture conducted a decent search for a few days, but finally came to nothing. Lin Yin went to look for it a few more times, but was put off by the Fu Guan people on the grounds of insufficient manpower and insufficient funds.
Because of this, Zhang Yuelu said, Lin Yin reported the situation to you in accordance with the rules and reported various illegal activities of Nanyang United Trading Company, and you did not care.
However, according to Zhang Wenyue, Fu Guan did not ignore it, but actually took charge of it. The director of Fu Guan found the people from Nanyang United Trading Company and asked them to pay compensation to Lin Yin and resolve the matter as soon as possible without making the matter a big deal.
.
As a result, Nanyang United Trading Company was used to being domineering, and on the surface they agreed, and then they found Lin Yin for the second time. However, it was not compensation, but a threat. This time, they kidnapped Lin Yin's wife.
The two sides started negotiations. The specific details of the negotiations are unknown to outsiders. The result
But it was Lin Yin's wife who was sold by people from the Nanyang United Trading Company, and some said she was stuffed into a barrel and sunk in the sea. In short, the negotiation completely collapsed.
At this point, the situation was completely out of control and entered a stage where Lin Yin solved the problem in his own way.
After such a series of changes, Lin Yin has lost his trust in the Taoist government. He is an innate person himself. At this time, he was alone and without worries. He directly found Qibaofang, dispersed his family wealth, and bought a new one from the black market.
Using the "Sun-shooting Long Gun" and the seven-shot "Dragon Eye Yiyi", and after a period of investigation, they launched their revenge against the Nanyang United Trading Company, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Provincial Government.
Needless to say, how powerful the "Sun Shooting Gun" is, only heavenly beings can withstand it. Generally, people with innate abilities cannot escape death after encountering it.
So in a very short period of time, Lin Yin killed three managers of the Nanyang United Trading Company in succession, including the two who negotiated with him, and the one who taught him a lesson and scuttled his ship. The Chamber of Commerce
There were two people in charge, including the one who asked him to go to Yujing to file a complaint. One person on the Taoist side was injured and his life was saved.
This incident made the Taoist government extremely angry and sent a spirit officer to arrest Lin Yin.
This time, the Taoist government acted very quickly. There was no push-back, perfunctory, prevarication, or problems of insufficient manpower and insufficient funds.
Lin Yin knew that he had no choice but to commit suicide.
Afterwards, the Taoist government convicted Lin Yin of a heinous crime.
This is why Zhang Yuelu said that you also said that Lin Yin was unreasonable, unruly, unobservant of laws, and that he committed a heinous crime by opposing the Taoist government.
Among them, what angered Zhang Yuelu the most was not Lin Yin's desperate revenge, nor the collusion between inside and outside to poach people, but the Taoist government's loss of control over the subordinates, insensitivity and routine.
The Taoist government has clearly stipulated that this kind of thing must come and go.
When the Taoist government approves matters to be handled by the subordinates, it is definitely not done with just one sentence, but an official letter is issued. This is "coming". After the people below receive the official letter from the above, and deal with it according to the official letter, they must reply to the above.
, write down the specific processing results, this is the "return". Only in this way can it be considered a complete process.
On a larger scale, when it comes to the deputy palace master level, there is one more process. The people below submit official letters to the deputy palace master, which is "come", and the deputy palace master performs "red approval" and signs his own orders or processing.
opinion, and then hand it back, this is "return". The last additional procedure is for the people below to execute it according to the deputy palace master's opinion.
Then the specific results of the execution will be reported to the Deputy Palace Master. This is considered a complete process.
In the end, there was only "come" and no "reply" in this matter. The people above seemed to respond quickly, sending official letters to the people below, and then ignored them. The people below just dragged on, with no reply, no results, and ultimately nothing happened.
Of.
This is routine, this is insensitive.
This matter could have been nipped in the bud from the very beginning. As a result, due to the inaction of the Taoist government, things developed step by step in an uncontrollable direction, and finally turned into the current situation. Lin Yin's family was destroyed, and those who
The stewards were not spared either.
That's all, because this is just what Zhang Yuelu said about not solving the problem beforehand.
But after this incident, the trigger of all this, the business that was originally in charge of Lin Yin, was still being run by people from the Nanyang United Trading Company, and it was still sinking every month, as if nothing had happened. This is
What Zhang Yuelu said will not solve the problem afterwards.
When something like this happens, everything is business as usual. Not to mention reflection, there is not even a hint of vigilance and remediation.
How could Zhang Yuelu not be angry?
So she repeatedly asked Zhang Wenyue whether he was right about the problem or the person, or whether he was right or wrong. She could not ask whether Lin Yin was right or wrong for the time being. She only asked one thing, whether there is a problem here, and if there is a problem, why not solve the problem?
?
This is the same idea as Qi Xuansu. When Qi Xuansu punished Huang Jiaoqing, he also put aside the controversial aspects for the time being, and did not ask whether Huang Jiaoqing's handling was right or wrong. Instead, he grasped the key points and held Huang Jiaoqing accountable.
Qing Qing secretly called the spiritual officials.
As newcomers, the two of them did not have enough strength to cut through the mess quickly. If they wanted to quickly open up the situation, they had to find a thread in the mess, and then follow the thread to peel off the cocoon.
As for Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Yuelu thinks that he probably has no interest entanglements with Nanyang Trading Company. After all, he is from the Zhang family, and unlike Zhang Kuquan, he does not have as many mistresses. In addition, he is relatively young and has sufficient support from his family.
There is no shortage of peace money, and he will not dirty his hands just because of a small profit. He still cherishes feathers.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Wenyue has no problems. There is no escape from laziness and inaction. He is harmonious and cowardly, but he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Zhang Yuelu ordered Zhang Wenyue to immediately arrest the relevant persons involved in the case, including those who did nothing.
