Pawn Crossing the River

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, 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 the beginning, they passed by flying boat, not by sea ship, so it didn't matter whether it was within the normal route range.

Later, the Taoist government thought that transporting supplies by flying boat was too expensive, so it outsourced this part. Subordinate chambers of commerce that are not within the provincial government's establishment will come forward to recruit ships.

Because it was not within the normal route, it had to pass through a reef, and there were sea monsters, so the risk was relatively high. Although the price offered by the Taoist government was quite high, not many people were 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 the reefs and sea monsters, which can be regarded as 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 sea chart.

Unexpectedly, shortly after Lin Yin handed over the chart, the Chamber of Commerce kicked him out and handed the deal 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's actually nothing when things have 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 couldn't afford to offend him, 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, but why did the Nanyang United Trading Company still sink?

Is there something fishy here? So Lin Yin found an opportunity and decided to secretly follow the Nanyang United Trading Company's ships to sea to see what was fishy.

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 goods. This part of the loss was actually borne by the government.

In other words, Nanyang United Trading Company is poaching the corner of Daofu. After Lin Yin discovered this situation, he believed 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 Taoist Fengxian Hall branch to report the matter. The Fengxiantang Branch of the Taoist Prefecture paid great attention to Lin Yin's report and responded quickly. It was quickly approved by the Fengxiantang Branch of Dongdu Prefecture. The Fengxiantang Branch of Dongdu Prefecture once again suppressed the report and It was approved by 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 the matter several times, and it was eventually handled by the Chamber of Commerce.

As Lin Yin expected, the Chamber of Commerce has long been colluding with the Nanyang United Trading Company. How could it investigate itself?

The steward of the Chamber of Commerce even yelled at Lin Yin: "You just go to the main hall of Yujing Fengxiantang to file a complaint. If I don't handle it for you, there is nothing you can do!" On the other side, people from Nanyang United Trading Company learned about Lin Yin's report. Regarding his own affairs, he immediately sent someone to find Lin Yin, threatened him, gave Lin Yin a severe lesson, beat him black and blue, and scuttled Lin Yin's ship.

The boat is Lin Yin's lifeblood, but at this point, the situation is still under control. Lin Yin once again reported to the Taoist government, and the Taoist government responded quickly, and pushed the case to the Dongdu Prefecture. This time, Lin Yin did not mention the collusion between Nanyang United Trading Company and the Chamber of Commerce for corruption, but reported The Nanyang United Trading Company scuttled his ship.

The Dongdu Prefecture's government office conducted a decent investigation for several days, but in the end nothing happened. Lin Yin went to look for it a few more times, but was put off by the people at Fu Guan on the grounds of lack of manpower and insufficient funds.

Because of this, Zhang Yuelu said, Lin Yin will report the situation to you in accordance with the rules and report various illegal activities of Nanyang United Trading Company, and you will 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. On the surface, they agreed, and then turned around and 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 were unknown to outsiders. The result was that Lin Yin’s wife was sold by people from the Nanyang United Trading Company. Some said that she was stuffed into a barrel and sunk in the sea. In short, it was thoroughly negotiated. 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 one from the black market. Bundle

"Sun-shooting blunderbuss" and seven-shot

"Long Jing Yiyi", after a period of investigation, launched a revenge against the Nanyang United Trading Company, the Chamber of Commerce, and the government.

It goes without saying 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 successively killed three managers of the Nanyang United Trading Company, including the two who negotiated with him, and the one who taught him a lesson and scuttled his ship.

Two managers of the Chamber of Commerce, including 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 the law, and resisted the Taoist government, which was a heinous crime.

Among them, what angered Zhang Yuelu the most was not Lin Yin’s desperate revenge, nor the collusion between inside and outside to poach, but the Taoist government’s treatment of

The Taoist government has clearly stipulated that this kind of thing must come and go. The Taoist government approved the matter

"Come". The above reply letter states the specific processing results. This is

"Back". This is a complete process. On a more serious level, when it comes to the deputy palace master level, there is one more process.

"Come", the Deputy Palace Master said

"Ban Hong" means signing one's orders or handling opinions and then handing them back. This is

"Back". The last extra step is to report to the Deputy Palace Master.

This is a complete process. As a result, this matter was only

"Come", no

"Back". The people above seemed to respond quickly and get results, but in the end nothing happened.

This is routine, this is insensitivity. This matter could have been nipped in the bud at 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 about not solving the problem afterwards. When something like this happens, everything remains the same. Not to mention reflection, there is not even a little bit of vigilance and remediation.

How could Zhang Yuelu not be angry? So she repeatedly asked Zhang Wenyue whether he was doing the right thing but not the person, or whether he was doing the wrong thing to the person.

She can not ask whether Lin Yin is right or wrong for the time being. She can only ask one thing, is there a problem here? 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 believed that he probably had no interest entanglements with Nanyang Trading Company. After all, he was from the Zhang family, and he did not have as many mistresses as Zhang Kuquan. In addition, he was relatively young and had sufficient support from his family. There is no shortage of peace money. 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, cowardly and fearful of trouble.

Zhang Yuelu ordered Zhang Wenyue to immediately arrest the relevant persons involved in the case, including those who did nothing.

She wants to investigate the case thoroughly.
