Chapter 193 Shameless

And sitting next to him under the autumn light was a middle-aged man wearing an official robe.

This man has a thin face and deep-set eye sockets. It seems that he has not had enough rest recently and has worked hard day and night.

Lin Yun cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Yun has met Mr. Fu Yin!"

Even if he only holds a false position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is still a member of the Communist Party of China, and he still needs to have the proper etiquette.

Qiu Guangri immediately stood up, laughed, and said in welcome, "I'm sorry to have you come all the way, Mr. Lin, please take a seat!"

This statement was extremely abnormal. He was a fourth-rank official. It was a bit excessive to treat Lin Yun, a sixth-rank official, by inviting him to the table.

Lin Yun was just stunned for a moment, and then he unceremoniously sat on a chair nearby.

In his position, he happened to be facing the middle-aged man in official robes.

Lin Yun asked deliberately: "Master Fu Yin, this is..."

Qiu Guangri then explained: "This is Yin Tian Jingyu of Haocheng Prefecture! I am a colleague of mine!"

Tian Jingyu then stood up, clasped his fists at Lin Yun and said, "I have heard that a strange man came out of Yucheng. When I saw him today, Mr. Lin is indeed well-deserved!"

Lin Yun pretended to suddenly realize it, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Tian, ​​how disrespectful! I heard before that something happened in Haocheng not long ago. I wonder if the situation has been alleviated?"

"The 100,000 catties of grain donated by Lin Yuanwai have now enabled the people of Haocheng to survive the famine safely! I came here specifically to express my gratitude to Lin Yuanwai!"

Although Tian Jingyu said it politely, his words were neither humble nor arrogant.

The look in Lin Yun's eyes was always meaningful.

Lin Yun sighed secretly. Through these few words, he could see that Tian Jingyu was not simple.

It seems that he is very polite to himself, but he tastes it carefully and seems to mean something.

On the side, Ma Ji was also sitting next to Lin Yun, but he did not dare to say a word. He just lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart.

At this time, Qiu Guangri said: "Mr. Tian, ​​now that Lin Yuanwai has arrived, you should tell us the main purpose of this time, right?"

Lin Yun also pricked up his ears. He also wanted to know what Tian Jingyu wanted to do.

Tian Jingyu then nodded, sat down again, sighed quietly, and said: "The famine in Haocheng has been temporarily overcome! But because of the huge food shortage! The 100,000 kilograms of food outside Yuan Lin can only give the people a mouthful of porridge. , I won’t starve to death! I thought this matter could be overcome, but just the day before yesterday, officials reported that some victims had already committed cannibalism!”

Lin Yun suddenly frowned.

He heard the mysterious meaning.

First of all, cannibalism must be a very cruel thing.

But Tian Jingyu came to him specifically and mentioned the matter in front of him. His purpose was self-evident.

In the final analysis, we are still here for food. However, this time no imperial envoy came forward, but he took the initiative to come to the door.

Lin Yun didn't say anything and listened silently.

Qiu Guangri, on the other hand, looked surprised at first. After looking at Lin Yun, he gnashed his teeth and shook his head and said, "Master Tian, ​​I'm afraid this trip will be in vain! I don't have any food left in Yucheng now!"

Tian Jingyu nodded and said: "I know that Mr. Qiu has no surplus food in his hands, so he specially came to borrow food from Lin Yuanwai for the hundreds of thousands of people in Haocheng! This way we can tide over the difficulties! I'm sure Lin Yuanwai will never leave him alone. Bar?"

On the surface, these words were a plea, and even hundreds of thousands of people were moved out, but in fact they were reaching out to Lin Yun to ask for food.

They were not stupid either. They had already inquired clearly and knew that Lin Yun had planted a thousand acres of land this year, and there was no way he could only produce a mere 120,000 kilograms!

Not only did he not believe it, Qiu Guangri didn't believe it either, otherwise he wouldn't have done something stupid and assassinated the imperial envoy, almost risking his own life.

When Tian Jingyu spoke this time, the corners of Qiu Guangri's mouth curled up vaguely, and he turned to look at Lin Yun.

He wanted to see how Lin Yun would answer. In fact, he had already guessed how Lin Yun would answer.

On the side, Ma Ji's face was even more livid. Tian Jingyu really didn't regard himself as an outsider, and he could say such shameless words.

Lin Yun sighed, sat up straight and said, "It is indeed a tragedy that something like this happened in Haocheng! But I have already taken out all the remaining food before leaving! With the Imperial Envoy as a guarantee, Master Tian still doesn't believe it?"

"Moreover, Mr. Tian's words are not only a distrust of the subordinates, but also a complete disbelief of the imperial envoy! If this matter is reported back to Beijing, I'm afraid..."

Lin Yun was so scheming that he wanted to play these word games with him. How could Tian Jingyu be his opponent?
  Tian Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said: "I have no intention of despising the imperial envoy! This time I came here not to shamelessly ask Lin Yuanwai for food, but because there is really no other way! Lin Yuanwai's subordinates also feed 500 villagers. , you should be able to understand my feelings of loving the people as my own children, right?"

Lin Yun sneered, moved his body, and simply leaned on the Taishi chair, saying: "Since Mr. Tian loves the people as his own son, why did he allow such a tragedy to happen in Haocheng? I once heard the imperial envoy say that Mr. Tian secretly withheld food. Filling one's own pockets and using it for other purposes! This is the root of the tragedy! What? Mr. Tian made a mistake and did not find a solution himself, but now he has to leave the trouble to the subordinates? What's the truth? "

For this reason, Lin Yun is not afraid of offending Tian Jingyu at all. Even if there is someone behind him as a guarantee, Lin Yun will never back down.

Tian Jingyu snorted angrily and said: "How dare you, a small member of the Communist Party of China, to speak arbitrarily about my actions? Lin Yun, if I put this aside today, you immediately come up with another hundred thousand kilograms of grain. I can Let bygones be bygones, if not, then don’t blame me for being dishonest! Do you really think you can hide the food in your hands or not?"

Lin Yun said with a joking smile: "Whether I have food or not is none of your business! You, a corrupt official from Haocheng, dare to point fingers at me? In front of me, you are just an ugly wolf! Don't be so shameless!"

"you!!"

Tian Jingyu stood up suddenly and pointed angrily at Lin Yun who didn't know how to threaten him. He could only look at Qiu Guangri and said, "Master Qiu, is this the official under your command?"

Lin Yun turned to look at Qiu Guangri and said jokingly: "Master Fu Yin, this Master Tian is right! Why don't you punish me severely?"

His words contained two meanings. Ma Ji understood it, and Qiu Guangri also knew it well.

He really didn't know anything today, but it affected Chi Yu and made him feel bad.

However, when he saw Lin Yun's cold eyes, Qiu Guangri immediately reacted, picked up the teacup on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Since Sir Tian has mastered the crime of bullying my officials, why don't you report it directly to the police?" The imperial court? Why are you showing off your prestige here?"

Tian Jingyu was surprised. He didn't expect that he would collude with a little Yuanwailang on this autumn day.
