Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 345
Lin Pingzhi was riding a horse, looking at the door of his house with his own curiosity.

At this time, Lin Zhennan and his wife followed a senior official out of the mansion.

Lin Pingzhi looked at the senior official carefully.This senior official is not young, at least 50 years old.He was wearing a crimson official robe, and the patches on the official robe were embroidered with golden pheasants.

Lin Pingzhi could tell that this senior official was a second-rank official.Moreover, the embroidery colors of the official uniforms of civil servants and generals are different.This person embroiders a golden pheasant, so he is naturally a civil servant.

However, after much deliberation, he realized that the second-rank senior officials who could appear in Fujian were civil servants.In addition to the local governor.He couldn't think of anyone else either.

After exchanging a few words with Lin Zhennan, the high-ranking official boarded his official sedan chair.

Then the gong was sounded to clear the way, Lin Pingzhi also got off his horse at this time, and then stood aside silently.

The surrounding officials all held their spears and stood aside to guard.

After the high-ranking official left in a large sedan chair carried by eight people, the officials slowly withdrew.Then the entire Ximen Street was restored to its original order.

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help laughing as he looked at this majestic court official.

Although this second-rank official is very prestigious, but now Lin Pingzhi dismisses it.

Lin Pingzhi led his horse to the door of Fuwei Escort Bureau.

Mrs. Wang was very happy to see her precious son back.

He hurried forward and hugged his son.

Mrs. Wang pressed Lin Pingzhi's shoulder, then looked her son up and down and asked, "My son, what brought you back? Where are the daughters-in-law? Why didn't you come with you?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Mother, this time I went out by myself. After finishing the work, I was going back to Hengshan, so I stopped by to visit the second elder. Well, don't talk about me now. What happened to the official just now?" ? Judging from his appearance, he is a second-rank feudal official. Before our family could not even reach the magistrate's family, how can we let such a big official come to our house to pay a visit in person this time?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Don't rush to talk about these things. My son has traveled all the way and entered the house. Let your father tell you slowly."

Lin Pingzhi nodded, and then followed his mother back to the main room.

The biggest thing about Fuwei Escort is that Lin Pingzhi has returned home.

Immediately, Mrs. Wang ordered the kitchen to prepare the banquet.

Lin Pingzhi talked about it with his father in the main room.

"Father! Recently, our Fuwei Escort Agency is very good at the market, and even let a second-rank official come to the door in person. My father has opened his business to the government?" Lin Pingzhi held a cup of hot tea and looked at the door. The father in front of him said.

And Lin Zhennan put his hands in his sleeves and lay on his back on the Taishi chair.Although Fujian and other places are located on the coast, the impact on winter is not very great.But the bone-chilling dampness is still very uncomfortable.

The end of the new year is coming soon, and it is the coldest month of winter, the coldest time of the year.

Lin Zhennan said with a smile: "This, of course, is because of my precious son's face. Because my son has a big face, the development of our Fuwei Escort Bureau has grown stronger during this period. Many small sects are willing to join us. Under your father's command, be an escort and get a share of the pie."

"Now our business has not only opened to the customs, but also expanded to Liaodong. Just now, the governor came here because he wanted to use the contacts of our Fuwei Escort Bureau to escort a batch of supplies to Liaodong together with the officers and soldiers. Our Wuwei Escort Bureau is black and white. Daodu has some contacts, and hanging our dart flag can save a lot of trouble."

Lin Pingzhi asked in confusion at this time: "Oh? Our Fuzhou Prefecture is located on the southeast coast. If you want to transport things, it is best to use canals or sea transportation. Why hire us as an escort?"

Lin Zhennan said: "It's like this. Although there are no Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, there are still many pirates on the sea. Now the navy of the imperial court is preparing for war and has no time to take care of these pirates. As for the canal waterway, the water transportation is not smooth now, and it is difficult to It will recover in a short period of time. So we can only rely on our escort agency to go overland."

"And I heard from the governor that the imperial court is going to make big moves recently."

Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi recalled that when he was in Longquan, officials from the imperial military department also came to Longquan Qi Mansion.

Lin Pingzhi asked curiously: "Oh? Could it be that our imperial court is going to expand its territory?"

Lin Zhennan shook his head at this time and said: "I don't know about this father. I'm afraid even the governor doesn't know the details. My father only knows that the navy of the imperial court and the officers and soldiers from all over the country are frequently mobilized. Listen It is said that many of them have been transferred to Liaodong, Northwest, and Southwest. And our Fujian is the most rich in tea, so the governor entrusted our Fuwei Escort to help the imperial court send a batch of tea to the outside of the pass."

Lin Pingzhi asked: "So, Dad has accepted the deal?"

Lin Zhennan nodded and said: "Yeah, at first Dad didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the court. Because of the affairs of the court, the water is much deeper than the rivers and lakes. A slight mistake is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. What's more, I heard that the Governor Said, this time the tea is military supplies. So I don’t want to continue.”

"It's just that the Governor came to the door in person this time. If we don't know how to praise, we will lose face. Although Dad is a little embarrassed, he can only go on. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Lin Pingzhi asked, "Then what's the price?"

Lin Zhennan replied: "There is no need to say more about the price. This time, the governor promised that if we do him this favor, then he will give us three times the amount of bodyguard silver. Not only that, but also give you the price of money in the court." With a certain future, at least next year's provincial examination, he will be able to move around and give you a reputation as a candidate."

Lin Pingzhi shook his head and said: "My son's heart is not in the court, and he has no interest in serving the court, serving as a hawk or dog. But it's not bad to give three times the dart money."

Lin Zhennan waved his hands at this time and said: "Hey! My son is good in everything, but you don't know anything about 'rolling pin blowing fire' in terms of worldly wisdom. He will give you a future or something. That's all. We can't take it seriously. As for the three times the dart silver, do you think it's all for us?"

Lin Pingzhi instantly understood, first give you a high price that you cannot refuse, and finally, if you are profitable, you will be given a dividend.

This behavior is commonly known as "eating kickbacks".

He said: "Hehe, this old guy is greedy enough to grab this kind of money, not to mention that he is already a second-rank official, a real frontier official, is he worthy of taking money from us?"

Lin Zhennan smiled at his son and said, "Hehe, this is sophistication. My son should learn more. In the end, if we make some money, they will also make some money. This is called a win-win situation."

Lin Pingzhi put down the teacup, and then said with a smile: "Hey! Dad is underestimating the boy. The boy is not a rigid person, and he can understand this bit of human affairs. It's just that you should be careful when doing things for these officials. It's better to be cautious. I'm not worried about Dad's current martial arts. If something happens, Dad can write a letter and let the child know as soon as possible. Don't let us who are pots and pans be reluctant."

Lin Zhennan was thoughtful after hearing his son's words.
