    Chapter 541 Taking advantage of the situation

    Less than ten meters away, the pride on the middle-aged man's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a businessman's usual smile.  However, his smile was more affectionate and friendly.

    This sudden change came when he saw the flower feathers on Wang Chengyi's helmet at the city gate.

    This flower feather is the symbol of the fourth rank.

    The middle-aged man named Zhang Tianquan is the largest tea merchant in Qianhuang County. He has often seen fourth-rank officials. In Qianhuang County, as a third-rank official in the county, he also has some contacts with the fourth-rank officials under him.  Some of the top officials can even be called brothers.

    But this is the capital city where there are so many officials. In the capital city, any person you pick up on the street is more or less the son or nephew of the seventh or eighth aunt of a sixth- or seventh-grade official. And these sixth- and seventh-grade officials  The rank officer is more or less acquainted with a third-rank or fourth-rank official After all, when people from out of town come to the capital, as long as they are not severely oppressed, they usually give in.

    Although Zhang Tianquan doesn't care about the ordinary people in the capital, such as the city guards who may have gotten into the lucrative position of city gate guard because of their connections, he can also just ignore them. At most, he can only make some money.

    But for a fourth-grade general, he didn¡¯t dare.

    Who can be an official is not attached to one or two larger officials, or may even be a member of a certain faction.  Wang Chengyi can take the important position of General of City Guards, and having a big backer is a sure thing.  This is going to be a big deal, and more than a hundred carts of tea can be seized on just one charge.  And after checking, he could only look at the sky and cry, there was nothing he could do.  Not to mention that his friendship with Qianhuang County's Commander-in-Chief was so good that even if it was nothing to say, Qianhuang Commander's Commander-in-Chief might be a good person in Qianhuang County, but when he came to the capital, not everyone would buy his account.

    Because of this, Zhang Tianquan not only smiled, but also involuntarily touched the skirt of his clothes with his right hand.  There were a lot of banknotes there.  It is said that the King of Hell is more difficult to deal with than the imp, but in the eyes of a wealthy man like him, the King of Hell is the most difficult to deal with.

    About five meters away, Zhang Tianquan¡¯s heartbeat suddenly accelerated when he saw Wang Chengyi approaching him.  It was his first time to come to the capital, so naturally he would not know anyone here. The dignified fourth-grade general came forward to greet him. In his opinion, he might have come for the tea leaves in the more than a hundred carriages behind him, but it was definitely not because of it.  He has a lot of money and comes to show his courtesy.

    A dignified fourth-grade general, and a general guarding the first gate for the emperor. Not to mention a wealthy man in the county, a wealthy man in the capital might not be worthy enough to welcome him in person.

    Four meters, three meters Zhang Tianquan's heart was about to jump out. He couldn't understand how a dignified fourth-grade general could personally accompany a few city guards to defend the city in the cold weather. Although this was under the emperor's feet, there was no such thing as  Such conscientiousness to this extent.

    But he couldn't think clearly anymore, and the matter was already in front of him. Zhang Tianquan took a sharp breath, raised his hands, arched towards Wang Chengyi, and said with a smile: "General, I, Zhang Tianquan, the owner of Xiafeng Tea House in Qianhuang County, I don't know what the general is doing."  call?"

    Wang Chengyi cupped his hands, but also smiled at Lin Dong: "Shopkeeper Lin, have you got a guest?"

    Lin Dong nodded, Ma Chun returned the favor and said, "Thanks to General Wang and Boss Zhang for taking care of me."

    "Congratulations, congratulations!" Wang Chengyi quickly congratulated him.

    Ma Chun could only thank him with a smile.

    Beside, Zhang Tianquan was a little confused.  This situation doesn't seem to be directed at his more than 100 carts of tea?

    "Shopkeeper Lin, Manager Ma, please come in." Wang Chengyi made a gesture of invitation, thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Tianquan, and said politely: "Boss Zhang, please come in."

    Zhang Tianquan was a little flattered. He nodded hurriedly and took out a stack of banknotes from his lapel and put it in his sleeves. Then he took a few steps forward and stuffed it into Wang Chengyi's hand: "General, it's disrespectful to be careful. It's so cold. Give it to your brother."  Let¡¯s buy a bowl of hot tea.¡±

    "Boss Zhang, what are you doing?" Wang Chengyi suddenly straightened his face and looked at Zhang Tianquan coldly, with a look of solemnity slowly emerging.

    Wang Chengyi can become a general who defends the city. In addition to having a strong relationship, he must also have real abilities.  This stern face has a murderous aura.  Zhang Tianquan couldn't resist this murderous intent. His legs went weak. If he hadn't experienced such a big scene, he would have almost fallen to the ground in fright.

    "Drink, drink tea!" Zhang Tianquan's teeth were trembling. He didn't understand. Officials in the capital were not officials?  There are a few officials who don't need money.  What's more, before coming here, he also asked businessmen who had been to the capital to inquire about it, and even knew the price of paying favors to the guards in the city.

    But the current situation is obviously not what he expected. As long as he has money, he can talk.

    How did he know that Wang Chengyi didn¡¯t want it, so a stack ofAmong the banknotes, he could clearly see that the top one was in denomination of one thousand taels. If they were all the same, it would be equivalent to more than ten thousand taels of silver.  This is already a large amount for him.  But by chance, the shopkeeper of Lin Kee Inn was present.

    Wang Chengyi knows the reputation of Linji Inn. It is too good to say anything. The owner of this kind of shop is naturally upright, otherwise he would not be able to make friends with King Qingliu, who is also upright.  If the shopkeeper of Linji Inn saw that he had received a large sum of money, it would be easier to handle it if he spoke to his face and just returned it. But if King Qingliu went to Linji Inn and talked about it as a trivial matter, it would be enough to make him suffer.  He walked away. With King Qingliu's dislike of corrupt officials, it would be fine if he didn't catch the evidence. If he caught the evidence, he would have to kill him if he couldn't guarantee it.

    ¡°Ten thousand taels of silver is a lot of money, but it is far from the level where Wang Chengyi can take risks, so he naturally behaves righteously.

    "Drinking tea? Drinking tea requires so much money? Besides, we are all working for the emperor, so if we give you so much money, is there something wrong with your goods?" Wang Chengyi scolded him coldly. He couldn't receive more than 10,000 taels of silver.  He did not dare to complain against Lin Dong, so he could only pile his grievances on Zhang Tianquan.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? have to spend so much money to seduce yourself, but don¡¯t know how to give it secretly, if not blame this boss Zhang, who should blame him?

    Zhang Tianquan was anxious, burning with anxiety, but he didn't know what to do.  The banknote in hand does not matter whether you accept it or not.  It's not that he has never dealt with officials. Among the officials he has dealt with, there are also some who are upright, some who set up memorial monuments, and some who like to put on airs. But there is a prerequisite that he is not afraid of.  A wealthy man in a county would be in awe of the officials of the county. Other officials, even if they were enemies, could not shake his foundation.

    This fourth-grade general, like the county commander, holds his wealth and life in his hands.  But it's not like Juntai, who will still be arrogant when seeing Yinzi, but he won't be uncertain.

    "Boss Zhang doesn't know that General Wang is fair and honest, and it's reasonable to mistakenly think that he is just like the generals in other cities. He who doesn't know is not guilty, General Wang, please calm down." Lin Dong suddenly interjected, there is no way, this Boss Zhang  He is the first customer introduced to the storage room of their Linji Inn. It is not only as simple as money, but also has the function of testing whether the value of the storage room is as expected.

    "Don't dare!" Wang Chengyi was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, the murderous look on his face gone.  He found that he had overestimated the sense of justice of Shopkeeper Lin. This Shopkeeper Lin was also a mortal, and he was still more or less oriented towards the guests of his inn.

    Zhang Tianquan¡¯s eyes bulged, and he looked at Lin Dong in disbelief. There was deep awe in his bulging eyes.

    He finally understood that General Wang was coming towards Shopkeeper Lin, whom he had just scolded coldly.

    A dignified fourth-grade general flatters an innkeeper. How much support does he need to do this?

    An inn is a small business everywhere. An inn that requires the innkeeper to come out to solicit customers in person. This small business is obviously not doing well. It can actually make friends with people who even have to be groveling for fourth-grade generals. Zhang Tianquan truly understands  On the streets of the capital, any person you pick out may have a shocking backer.

    The person in front of you is the best evidence.

    "Thank you, thank you very much, Shopkeeper Lin, for your kind words. I have offended you a lot, please forgive me, please forgive me." In the cold wind of early winter, cold sweat began to flow on Zhang Tianquan's forehead, even faster than when he faced Wang Chengyi just now.

    He suddenly remembered that his attitude towards Shopkeeper Lin just now was not good.

    "Boss Zhang, General Wang, can you start inspecting the goods?" Lin Dong smiled and shook his head and looked at Wang Chengyi.

    "Inspecting the goods?" Wang Chengyi was stunned, and looked at Lin Dong carefully. Seeing that his expression was normal, and he didn't seem to be deliberately trying to find a place just now, he nodded quickly and waved: "Enter the city!"

    Zhang Tianquan felt relieved. Although this experience was short-lived, it was the most frightening moment in his life.

    Fortunately, everything is over.

    Zhang Tianquan ordered the guard captain to lead the team into the city to check the safety of the goods, and he began to talk around Lin Dong, as if Lin Dong was his honored guest, for fear of making the other party unhappy by being a little silent.

    The goods were inspected one by one, and there was no doubt that they were all tea. The convoy began to enter the city.

    Arriving at the Lin Kee Inn not far away, Zhang Tianquan was naturally shocked and puzzled again when he saw the size of the Lin Kee Inn and the clothes of the diners coming in and out.

    In terms of accommodation conditions, Zhang Tianquan naturally couldn¡¯t fault it.  As for the price of accommodation, although the price is a bit high, let alone what happened at the city gate, even if it hadn't happened, it was just a drop in the bucket in Zhang Tianquan's eyes, so he naturally had no objection.??

    After settling the fleet, Lin Dong was used to personally watching the whole process on the first day when various features were launched, so he and Ma Chun once again led a group of guys straight to the city gate.

    "The difference from before is that this time Lin Dong, Ma Chun and others were sitting in the doorway enjoying the good tea prepared by Wang Chengyi himself.

    The reason, of course, is that Lin Dong figured it out. Using Wang Chengyi to attract customers can get twice the result with half the effort.  Although Wang Chengyi does not have the habit of blowing cold wind at the door on weekdays, it is of great benefit to him to help Lin Ji Inn raise his status all day long. After all, making friends with Lin Ji Inn is also indirectly equivalent to being with Qingliu Wang La.  Got into a relationship.

    After that, everything went smoothly and the sky gradually turned from bright to dark. It was almost time for the city gate to close. Lin Dong was about to get up when three tall horses roared towards him from a distance.
