wealthy lord

Chapter 295 The dead duck has a tough mouth

Lin Jinbiao was dumbfounded, but he didn't think it was Ma Ji's idea. He suddenly looked at Lin Yun and said, "Lin Yun, I admit that I have indeed made a lot of money over the years, but there is a saying that all dynasties There is no official in the past who is not greedy! I am not the first, and I will never be the last!"

Lin Yun shrugged and said, "What are you telling me? It's not my order!"

"Hmph, it's your boy's style to come up with such an idea of ​​​​drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron! Don't deny it! Also, I have spent the money on ups and downs a long time ago. If you really want to get it all back, then go to the Lin family Want it!"

Lin Jinbiao is not stupid. He has paid such a heavy price for this. If he spits out the money again, then he will really get nothing.

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Lin Yun just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At this time, Ma Ji sneered and said: "Okay! You said one hundred thousand taels of silver will be used for up and down management, but there is always some leftover, right? Tell me the number! If I can feel your sincerity, I might not be able to spare you. One life!"

Unknowingly, Ma Ji already had the aura of a city governor, especially his strategizing demeanor, which Lin Yundu admired very much.

This is the person you like.

Lin Jinbiao gritted his teeth secretly. If looks could kill, Ma Ji might have been cut into pieces.

"Master Ma, let's keep a thin line as human beings so that we can meet each other in the future. Don't do things too badly. It won't do any good to any of us!"

Ma Ji ignored his threat, took out another account book from his arms, opened it on the spot, and read out: "In the first year of Chongde, that is, the year when the emperor just ascended the throne, it was also the day when you were transferred to Haocheng! Tian Jingyu gave you 150,000 taels of tax money in the name of paying taxes to the Lin family, and you handed over 120,000 taels to the Lin family and withheld 30,000 taels!"

"In the second year of Chongde, there was a great harvest in Haocheng. In the name of supporting the King of Zhennan..."

Ma Ji ignored his threats and directly recounted the old debts one by one.

This made Lin Yun very happy. Ma Ji could do his job to such an extent, which showed that he really put his heart into it this time.

And just hearing that Lin Jinbiao had embezzled thirty thousand taels of silver at one time made him very jealous.

I have worked hard to sell perfumes and medicines, but together they are almost the same amount this year, maybe a little more, but the money is not easy to make.

If he hadn't improved the barren land in Niubei Mountain and grown hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, he would never have the confidence and strength he has now.

But Lin Jinbiao made a lot of money just by expressing his attitude with his words.

I secretly sighed that this corrupt official really made money, but such people usually died miserably.

After all, you have to pay it back sooner or later, and this is definitely a good opportunity to harvest Lin Jinbiao's wealth.

Sure enough, Lin Jinbiao couldn't hold it anymore and shouted quickly: "Stop talking!! I promised to hand over some money, but there must be a specific amount, right?"

Ma Ji directly closed the account book and said jokingly: "It's not much. 70% of the total amount in your hand will be used for disaster relief. I will keep you safe! Lin Jinbiao, these days, there are not many opportunities to spend money to buy peace. You'd better Get a grip!"

Ma Ji's coercion and inducement completely made Lin Jinbiao lose his temper. Like a deflated ball, he sat directly on the ground, sweating profusely.

For a corrupt official, killing him is not the best way to relieve his hatred.

Since he likes silver, let him eat and vomit as much as he wants. This is the greatest torture.

Lin Yun sometimes nodded with satisfaction and sometimes smiled.

In his opinion, Ma Ji really got his true inheritance.

After this combination of punches, Lin Jinbiao, a tough-talking duck, could only open his mouth obediently. However, this method is indeed effective. It can not only save their costs, but also weaken Lin Jinbiao.

But in Lin Yun's view, the most important thing is that through this bone scraping therapy, Lin Jinbiao can be completely tied to his camp.

After all, his pigtail is held in Ma Ji's hand.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun suddenly realized something.

If I want to expand my power in the future, the best way is to deal with these corrupt officials.

Not only can he exploit others to strengthen himself, but he can also take advantage of their crimes and completely control them.

It's definitely a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

At this time, Lin Jinbiao gritted his teeth and said: "I still have a total of 70,000 taels of silver in my hand now. I can use 60,000 taels for disaster relief. The rest..."

Ma Ji suddenly spoke up, walked to him, helped him up, and said with a smile: "The remaining ten thousand taels will be left for you to live with! Master Lin, this money is an external thing. If you are too persistent, the final result will be You have the life to make money but not the life to spend it! But as long as you sincerely serve the young master, your good days are still to come!"

"I used to be just a general manager of the Yucheng House of Internal Affairs, but since I chose to join the Young Master, in less than a year, I was promoted to the position of Haocheng Prefect. I say this, Master Lin should understand this Is there a reason for this?"

Lin Jinbiao's expression was gloomy and uncertain, but after listening to what Ma Ji said, and looking back on his promotion, it was indeed Lin Yun's secret manipulation, and most importantly, it was able to alert the current emperor to personally issue an edict.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

There must be intertwined interests involved here, which also proves that Lin Yun also has support in the capital.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinbiao sighed quietly and said: 'That's it! '

With that said, he took Ma Ji's outstretched hand, stood up directly, bowed to Lin Yun, and said, "Lin Jinbiao meets Mr. Lin!"

Although the two are from the same family, at this moment, their identities are completely different.

Lin Jinbiao also had to admit that Lin Yun was indeed powerful. If he followed him, he might indeed be able to rise to the top in the future.

Lin Yun raised his head and laughed, saying: "Haha! Okay, Master Lin, there is no need to be polite!"

Lin Jinbiao then straightened up, and Hou stood aside respectfully.

Lin Yun stood up on the Taishi chair, came to Ma Ji's side, patted his shoulder happily, and said: "Master Ma, your performance today really surprised me, but your current state is really surprising. I’m relieved! You are also the most capable among the people around me, don’t let me down!!”

Ma Ji felt proud in his heart and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, young master, no matter how big an official I am, I am still yours. As long as you say a word, no one dares to disobey me!"

"Okay! I won't let you go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. As long as you run Haocheng well for me, you have made a huge contribution!"

Lin Yun praised.

Ma Ji nodded, turned to look at Lin Jinbiao, and said, "Master Lin, it's time for you to take out the money now, right?"

Lin Jinbiao was completely convinced, so naturally he did not dare to hesitate anymore and said: "I hid the banknotes in the back house, I'll get them right away!!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.
