"Si De, don't panic. You must calm down. If the sky falls, Madam and Miss will hold it up first. Then it will be our turn. "Lin Wanrong laughed. Grand Mistress gave him a hateful look.
Si De panted and was out of breath. He said anxiously, "Third Brother, Grand Mistress, it's not good. Young Cousin, Young Cousin was beaten — — "
"What? Did someone beat you up? "Lin Wanrong exclaimed.
Although Young Cousin was flashy, he was not a master who would cause trouble. Moreover, with the material and financial resources of the Xiao Family, although it could not be said that they could do whatever they wanted in Jin Ling, not everyone dared to bully them. How could someone beat Young Cousin? Damn, if you want to beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. Don't you know that Young Master Wuchang is under the protection of my brother Lin San?
"Who, who beat cousin?" Grand Mistress hurriedly said.
Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered that Young Cousin took Si De and the others to the Tao Family's shop to confiscate it. Could it be that the Tao Family beat him?
Si De hurriedly said, "We and Young Cousin went to take over the Tao Family's shop. We happened to meet the Tao Family's Master. They didn't say anything and began to beat us. They also caught Young Cousin. I risked my life to escape, just to report to Madam and Miss. Now I will go back to save Young Master."
Save my ass. If you ran away, then you ran away. How can you be compared to me? But this was not wrong. If you can't win, then run. This is called resourcefulness. If you don't run, then wait to be beaten?
Grand Mistress listened to his words and said anxiously, "We are still discussing how to deal with this matter. How can cousin go so rashly? Can't wait for a while? "
"Tao Family's Master? Is it Suzhou Weaving Pottery House? "Lin Wanrong asked the Grand Mistress. It seemed that Fourth Elder Xiao was right. This Tao Yu really came to Jinling in a hurry, but he didn't know how Tao Dongcheng and that Tao Family girl were doing.
The Grand Mistress said angrily, "That's him. Although my cousin was a little rash, the Tao Family's shop already belonged to my Xiao Family. It was natural for my cousin to take over it. How could Tao Yu beat people up and capture people as he pleased? I'll go reason with him. "
Lin Wanrong hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Grand Mistress, are you crazy? Reason with the officials? How are you going to reason with them? "
Lin Wanrong was not a young boy. He knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. If he wanted to fight with an official, it was a competition of strength.
"Lin San, what do you think we should do?" The Grand Mistress pondered for a moment. Lin San was right. She might have all kinds of methods to do business, but if she wanted to fight against evil people, she still needed Lin San.
Although the Young Cousin was a little arrogant, he was still good to Lin Wanrong. What's more, he was Yushuang's cousin. No matter what, he couldn't let the surnamed Tao bully him. Damn, this surnamed Tao clearly showed that he was an official and a businessman. He was a referee and an athlete. He was fooling the people.
"Si De, go to Governor Luo's mansion immediately and ask Brother Gao Qiu, who came back with us, to tell him what happened here. Also, ask Brother Gao to tell Luo Daren to go to the Tao Family's shop and see how the officials under him bully the people. "Lin Wanrong ordered.
When the Grand Mistress heard him say this, she hurriedly said, "Lin San, if you say this, how will Luo Daren come?"
Lin Wanrong smiled. I, Kleinloh, and Luo are brothers. I am also a noble person in their hearts. It would be strange if Luo didn't come.
He smiled mysteriously and ignored the Grand Mistress's words. He said to Si De, "You go quickly. You must find Brother Gao. When this matter is done, I will ask the Grand Mistress to increase your salary. "
"Thank you, Third Brother. Thank you, Grand Mistress." Si De happily left.
When the Grand Mistress saw his mysterious appearance, she couldn't help but say, "How can you give benefits to others? You are becoming more and more self-righteous."
When she saw that Lin San had arranged everything properly, she calmed down a lot. She was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She was unwilling to lose face, so she snorted and didn't say anything else.
When Lin Wanrong and the Grand Mistress arrived at the Tao Family's shop, they saw that there were many people gathered at the entrance to see what was going on. The Young Cousin, Guo Wuchang, was tied up by several members of the Tao Family and was cursing.
Lin Wanrong looked around but didn't see the siblings, Tao Dongcheng and Tao Wanying. He saw a fat man dressed in official robes standing in the middle. He looked similar to Tao Dongcheng and had the prestige of an official. He should be Tao Yu of the Suzhou Weaving Factory. The Tao Family's servants were constantly coming and going, moving the cloth from the shop to the horse carriage outside.
"Shameless." The Grand Mistress scolded softly. The Xiao Family didn't have time to hand over to the Tao Family. The Xiao Family lost the same amount of cloth the Tao Family moved away.
"They moved the cloth so that the Xiao Family would have an empty shell. It's really shameless." The Grand Mistress said hatefully.
Lin Wanrong nodded, "Although the method they used is shameless, we can't stop it. The cloth is certainly a source of income, but it's not the most important. The more valuable things are the real estate such as the shop. These are fixed assets and also their sales channels. Without these channels, no matter how much cloth they have, it will rot at home. "
The Grand Mistress knew that what he said was reasonable and nodded in agreement. When she saw the miserable appearance of Guo Wuchang, she couldn't help but sigh, "Cousin's way of doing things is indeed a bit rash. He has suffered a loss this time. Let's see if he doesn't learn to be smarter next time."
"I don't think it's a bad thing. It might even be a good thing. We are going to take over the Tao Family's shop. Some small conflicts are inevitable. After the Young Cousin's actions, everyone knows that public opinion is very beneficial to the Xiao Family. Bad things can be turned into good things. "Lin Wanrong analyzed calmly.
The Grand Mistress thought for a while and felt that it was reasonable. She glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Just as Lin Wanrong was about to lose his patience, someone patted him on the back and a clear voice said, "Young Master Lin, I'm here." Lin Wanrong turned around and saw Gao Shou and Gao Qiu standing behind him, smiling.
Lin Wanrong chuckled, "It's been hard on the two Gao Brothers. I'm sure the two of you are clear about the situation in front of you. "
Gao Qiu nodded, "Young Master Lin, don't worry. Before I left, Lord Xu had already informed me that Tao Dongcheng had written a contract and Lord Xu was his witness. The Tao Family can't deny it even if they want to."
"If that's the case, then aren't our actions extremely righteous? Extremely righteous? "Lin Wanrong said with a smile. A trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes. The two Gao brothers laughed together.
Lin Wanrong followed Da Xiaojie out. As soon as Young Master Biao saw the two of them appear, he immediately shouted, "Biaomei, Biaomei, quickly come and save me. Lin San, quickly come and save me — — "
The Grand Mistress stepped forward and gracefully bowed to Tao Yu, "This commoner's daughter, Xiao Yuruo, greets Lord Tao."
Tao Yu sneered, "Lady Xiao has quite an imposing manner. She actually sent people to take over my Tao Family's shop. How could she still put this official in her eyes? This official is not worthy of such a bow. "
F * ck, you dog official. Using your power to do business, you still have the face to ask others to put you in their eyes? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you. Lin Wanrong looked at the fat Tao Yu and sneered in his heart.
Lady Xiao sternly said, "Why does Lord Tao say such a thing? Xiao Yuruo has been in business for many years and has always been law-abiding. Everything she says and does is in accordance with the laws of China. What does Lord Tao mean by this? "
Tao Yu coldly said, "Lady Xiao, you sent people here today, saying that you want to take over my Tao Family's ancestral property. I don't know the reason behind this? This official is the Suzhou Weaving Master, in charge of the textile industry in a province. How can I tolerate your impudence? "
Xiao Yuruo snorted, "Lord Tao, everyone in Jinling's business world knows that my Xiao Family has taken over your Tao Family's cloth shop. Do you really not know about this? In this year's annual meeting in Hangzhou and Jinling, Young Master Tao made a bet with our Xiao Family, betting on the Tao Family's cloth shop. Unfortunately, Young Master Tao lost two rounds in a row and lost the Tao Family's shop to our Xiao Family according to the agreement. With Young Master Tao's written document as proof, hundreds of merchants from both Jinling and Hangzhou witnessed it, and the Grand Secretary of the Pavilion of Literary Splendour and the Minister of Revenue Xu Wei personally notarized, this matter cannot be falsified. From the moment Prince Tao signed the document, this Tao Family's shop has already belonged to my Xiao Family. My Xiao Family took over the property according to the agreement. It's reasonable and legal. What's wrong with that? Although you are the Suzhou Weaving Master, you have no right to arrest people at will. My cousin is innocent, so why did you beat and arrest him for no reason? "
Although Xiao Yuruo's tone was gentle, her words were impassioned and powerful. When the onlookers heard that this was the legendary Lady Xiao, they saw that she was not afraid of the powerful and had such a graceful appearance. They instinctively had a good impression of her. Since ancient times, ordinary people did not fight with officials. Today, Lady Xiao argued on the street. Such courage and boldness made the ordinary people feel carefree. When the Grand Mistress finished speaking, the crowd fiercely shouted, "Good!"
Tao Yu rolled his eyes and said with a straight face, "Lady Xiao, the bet in Hangzhou was deliberately framed by my son, Dongcheng. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. I have reported it to the Jiangsu Commander-In-Chief, Cheng De, Daren Cheng. Daren Cheng will personally send someone to investigate this matter and prove my Tao Family's innocence. Your bet doesn't count. "
My god, as expected of an official, his face is so thick to this extent. That Cheng De is from the military faction and you are from the political faction. Even if you want to report it to the higher-ups, you should report it to the Jiangsu Governor, Lomin. What does it have to do with that old bastard, Cheng De? Besides, this matter was witnessed by so many people. How can you overturn it just because you say so? Damn, a dog official is a dog official. How can you say it in such a dignified way?
When Lady Xiao heard Tao Yu distort the truth and confuse right and wrong, she was so angry that her face turned red. She said angrily, "What does Daren Tao mean? Are you doubting the eyesight and wisdom of the hundreds of merchants in Zhejiang and Jiangsu? Or are you doubting the fairness of the Minister of Revenue, Daren Xu Wei? Then please ask your son to come out. I, Xiao Yuruo, am willing to debate with him in front of all the people in Jinling — "
