The Cai family originally lived in Xiangyang, and Cai Lei was originally a younger brother of Cai Mao. After Cai Mao's death, Cai Lei moved his family to Jiangling and took root here. ¦çCai Lei's sister has married Fu Xun, the director of the Department of Commerce, and Fu Xun has also helped Cai. Therefore, the Cai family has always been arrogant and domineering. Relying on the wealth of the family, she has repeatedly suppressed the three families of Li, Tang, and Mao. Even in business, the Cai family is also the leader of the city. Even if the property of the three families of Li, Tang, and Mao is combined, it may not be enough. There are many Cai's. I thought that if the Marquis secretly supported the Li, Tang, and Mao families and used the financial resources of the three families to suppress the Cai family, and at the same time conduct a thorough investigation of Fu Xun, as long as Fu Xun did not help the Cai family, the Li, Tang, and Mao families could gradually suppress the Cai family. Cai's. Cai Lei is irritable and has a bad temper, and then he can use some tricks to anger the Cai family. In this case, Cai Lei will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and then cause trouble for the Li, Tang, and Mao families. The Cai family has private soldiers. As long as they dare to move, the Marquis can take the Cai family to the pot. As long as the Cai family falls, the other wealthy businessmen will be extremely grateful to Mr. Hou and will definitely obey Mr. Hou's advice. "After hearing this, Lin Lin smiled and said: "The strategy proposed by Lord Zhuge is a brilliant idea. Rather than letting the Cai family dominate, it is better to support other businessmen and make them grateful to the government. What a clever idea. " As he was talking, Lin Lin's bodyguard immediately walked in, walked straight to Lin Lin's side, and then said: "Sir, this is a secret message from Soochow. It rained two days ago and the carrier pigeon was delayed on the way. Time is up, please take a look. " Lin Lin hurriedly opened the secret letter. When he saw the words "Everything is normal" written on the secret letter, he frowned and thought slowly in his heart: "Everything has been normal for half a month. Could it be that Zhou Yu has become a different person since I fainted last time? Or has my aunt never found out the truth? " Zhuge Jin saw Lin Qi's brows furrowed. He looked thoughtful, so he asked, "Master Marquis, has something happened? " Lin Qi handed the note in his hand to the guard. The guard took the note and walked out of the hall consciously. According to the usual news, he specially collected the secret letters. Lin Qi, on the other hand, With a smile on his face he said: "Nothing. Lord Zhuge, let¡¯s continue the topic we just talked about. I think the strategy you mentioned is feasible, so I'll do it as you said. It's getting late, so I've already asked people to prepare some food and wine. Lord Zhuge, just finish eating with me before leaving. "Zhuge Jin has been getting along with Lin Qi day and night in the past few days, and he is no longer as polite as he was at the beginning, so he nodded and agreed. At noon the next day, the Zhizhou Mansion was full of guests, all officials of the seventh rank or above in Jiangling City. They all arrived, and more than fifty merchants from Jiangling City also came. Lin Qi first entertained them warmly, and then got to know the people at the banquet one by one through Zhuge Jin. After eating and drinking, Lin Qi did not let these people leave, but kept them. It happened that the sun was shining brightly. The courtyard of the Zhizhou Mansion was large enough, and everyone sat together quietly to celebrate the new appointment of Jingzhou Zhizhou. People knew very well that Lin Qi was the eldest son of the emperor. If he could get involved with Lin Qi, he would definitely become famous in the future. If Lin Qi became the prince, then they would be more confident in taking the top position. He picked up a cup of tea, stood up in front of everyone, then looked around and said amiably: "You are all well-known people in Jingzhou. Everyone here, whether they are officials or businessmen, are people that this government should respect. A new official has taken office in this government. It is his first time here. I would like to ask for your help in some areas. I would like to offer tea instead of wine to you all. I hope that our government and businessmen can cooperate happily in the future and jointly make a contribution to the prosperity of Jingzhou. " Zhuge Jin and others all picked up the teacups and drank them respectfully. After putting down the teacups, Lin Qi's expression changed and he said sternly: "Jingzhou is the southernmost part of the Huaxia Kingdom. There is also the Wu Kingdom in the southeast. Here It is a fertile and developed land, but it is also a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, as an official or doing business here, you must abide by the law. From today on, if this government knows that someone does not act in accordance with the regulations, it will definitely be severely punished. "No one here said a word, just sitting there quietly listening to Lin Qi's speech, but Cai Lei's face already showed displeasure. Lin Qi noticed this, but didn't care, and then continued: " I know that everyone here, whether they are officials or businessmen, has an extraordinary relationship with each other. For example, Mr. Fu, the director of the Jingzhou Department of Commerce, seems to be the brother-in-law of Cai Lei, the richest man in the city. Master Fu, am I right? "Fu Xun hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "What you said is true at all. Beizhi is indeed Cai Lei's brother-in-law, but Beizhi has always acted impartially and did not dare to show favoritism at all" "Well, what Master Fu said is true. The government is convinced. ?So, I will put the ugly words first. Officials are officials, and businessmen are businessmen. If you want to operate normally and legally, the officials will not interfere. If you do something sneaky and unconscionable, I will not be lenient once you find out. I invite you all to come here today just to get acquainted with each other, and I hope that we can live in harmony in the future and work together to contribute to Jingzhou's economy. " Lin Qi said. "Everyone was silent, and then Lin Qi casually said two irrelevant words and dismissed everyone. After the meeting, officials followed the official path and businessmen followed the commercial path. It really no longer wanted to be like before, where officials and businessmen were at the same time. Going in and out of a place is like wearing a pair of pants. Over the next seven days, Lin Qi and Zhuge Jin worked together to rectify the officialdom, and secretly supported the three businessmen of Li, Tang, and Mao, and suppressed the Cai family. Zhuge Jin also secretly took some small measures. One night, seven days later, just after dinner, Lin Qi saw Zhuge Jin coming in a panic, so he asked, "What happened?" Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, Cai Lei indeed used private soldiers. The two hundred private soldiers he raised surrounded the houses of the Li family, the Tang family, and the Mao family, and threatened to set fire to the houses of the three families." " Lin Qi immediately stood up and hurriedly ordered: "Go to the military camp in the north of the city quickly, convey this matter to the general stationed here, Fu Tong, and ask General Fu Tong to lead troops into the city to strangle Cai Lei's private soldiers. Zhuge Jin said: "Master Hou, I have already sent someone." I'm afraid that General Fu has already led his army into the city by now, so the Marquis can just wait here! " Lin Qi nodded. When he was planning this matter, he contacted the garrison outside the city early in the morning. Fu Tong also agreed with this suggestion and was waiting for this matter to arrive every day. " Two quarters of an hour later . Fu Tong personally escorted Cai Lei to Zhizhou Mansion. After seeing Lin Qi, he clasped his fists and said, "Master Marquis, this man has been captured, and all his private soldiers have surrendered. " Lin Qi said to Fu Tong: "Thank you, General Fu. " "The Marquis made a serious statement. The general is just a trivial task. Besides, these Cai family's private soldiers surrendered immediately as soon as they saw the official troops entering the city. It took no effort at all, no casualties, and not hard at all. Mr. Marquis, this person has taught Mr. Hou that if the army stays in the city for too long, it may cause riots in the city, so the general will retire first. Fu Tong said. Lin Qi cupped his fists and said, "That's fine, General Fu, walk slowly." " After Fu Tong said goodbye to Lin Qi, he left the Zhizhou Mansion with his soldiers, and then assembled the troops entering the city. He left Jiangling City, while Cai Lei was guarded by Lin Qi's personal guards. After Lin Qi watched Fu Tong go, Seeing Cai Lei being tied up and gagged, looking at him with frightened eyes, he just sneered and said, "This person raises private soldiers with evil intentions and will not be punished. Pushed out and beheaded in public display. All of Cai's family property was confiscated. All confiscated! " Poor Cai Lei could only stare. Without even a word of explanation, he was dragged out and beheaded. Then, Zhuge Jin led the government servants to confiscate Cai's family property, and all the property was confiscated, leaving an empty house and some The gold coins were given to Cai to survive. The next day, the news of Cai¡¯s property being confiscated spread throughout the streets, and the entire Jiangling City was shocked. For ten consecutive days, Lin Qi first deposed Ding Fei and put him in the dungeon, and now he After killing Cai Lei and confiscating his family property, everyone felt that Lin Qi had a hard-line style, so they did not dare to disobey his orders at all. Lin Qi's killing of Cai Lei was nothing more than killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and Cai Lei did have some skills. After Cai Lei's death, Lin Qi published a list of thirty-six crimes against Cai Lei. When other businessmen saw Cai Lei's fate, they did not dare to do anything unusual. At the same time, those officials in Jingzhou, They were also completely shocked. Everyone knew that Xun You's era had passed, and the eldest son of the emperor could not be messed with. Since Lin Qi killed Cai Lei, Jingzhou's officialdom had also been rectified. Lin Qi re-employed Zhuge Jin and wrote. The memorial requested that Fu Xun be transferred from the post of director of the Department of Commerce and replaced by Zhuge Jin, and then be sent to the imperial capital Under the scorching sun, Lin Nan led the civil and military officials in person outside the west gate of Luoyang. Waiting and watching from a distance, General Wang led Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Sima Yi and others to return in triumph, and he was extremely happy. "Play music!" "Jia Xu shouted immediately. Soon, the agitation team played a triumphal victory song, and Lin Nan and all the civil and military officials were even more excited. Lin Lin was riding a red dragon horse, wearing silver armor, and holding a Fangtian painted halberd. Wearing a silver helmet, he looked majestic. He took the lead and ran quickly. When he saw Lin Nan waiting at the city gate, his face was full of joy. When he was about to reach Lin Nan, Lin Lin reined in the red dragon horse. Jump from horsebackAfter getting down, he threw Fang Tian's painted halberd to the surrounding guards, then quickly ran in front of Lin Nan, then knelt on the ground with a thump, kowtowed and said, "My son, I kowtow to my father!" Lin Nan personally He helped Lin Lin up, and saw that Lin Lin had dark skin, a resolute face, and a strong figure. Although he was only fifteen years old, he often lived in the open air in the army and was weathered, so that he looked two or three years older. Even more so. His eyes were full of tears. He patted Lin Lin's strong and thick arms with both hands. He raised his head slightly and looked at it. Then he burst into laughter and said happily: "Good son, we have been separated for ten years, but I didn't expect to grow up." He is taller than me, and his body is much stronger than mine" Lin Lin has never gone back since he left the palace at the age of five, and has never seen Lin Nan again. Counting on his fingers, he is already Ten years. For the past ten years, Lin Lin has missed his father all the time, but he knows that his father has placed high hopes on him, and he must achieve something before he can go back to see his father. At this moment, Lin Lin's mood is complicated. Although his father is still the same as he remembered when he was a child, time has left traces on his father's face, and many wrinkles have appeared on his face. He couldn't restrain his inner excitement, tears burst into his eyes, he hugged Lin Nan so tightly, and cried: "Father" The words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to say, Lin Nan The same is true for Nan, and the same is true for Lin Lin. In order to temper his son's will, Lin Nan sent Lin Qi and Lin Lin to the palace early. He was not worried about Lin Qi, because there were people taking care of Lin Qi wherever he was, but Lin Lin was different. Under such conditions, he had to start as a soldier and go into battle to kill the enemy. Every time he heard that Lin Lin was going out with the army, Lin Nanjiu was worried, fearing that something unexpected would happen to Lin Lin. Now that his son was in his arms, he wanted to say a lot, but in front of many civil and military officials and onlookers, he suppressed his tears and just patted Lin Lin's back gently, saying slowly He said authentically: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back" When the father and son met, the scene moved the officials present and made them shed tears. "As you return to the palace, I will give a good banquet to the soldiers who have returned in triumph!" Lin Nan let go of Lin Lin, turned around and shouted loudly. Lin Nan celebrated Lin Lin¡¯s triumph in the grandest way, and all the civil and military officials could see Lin Nan¡¯s doting on Lin Lin. At the banquet that night, Lin Nan asked Lin Lin to sit next to him, and then asked Lin Lin to pay tribute to his colleagues in the Western Expedition one by one. If it weren't for them, Lin Lin would not have won the battle. After three rounds of drinking, Lin Nan, Lin Lin and all the civil and military officials were in high spirits. At this moment, Gai Xun stood up, held up his wine glass, saluted Lin Nan respectfully, and then slowly said: : "Your Majesty, thirteen years have passed since the founding of our Kingdom of China. During these thirteen years, our Kingdom of China has become stronger and stronger year by year. Now the second prince has conquered the countries in the Western Regions, which has expanded the territory of our Kingdom of China. , at this time of joy, the old minister thought that the appointment of the crown prince should also be put on the agenda. The second prince started as an ordinary soldier, and in just four or five years, he had become the king with his merits, and he also served as the second prince bravely championing the three armies. , the three armies were impressed by it, and the old minister thought, wouldn¡¯t it be better to ennoble the second prince as the crown prince, as the mainstay of the country?¡± (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
