The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 426 Dare to take action
When I came to the reception hall, I saw a man in his 50s sitting with a horn beard.

It looks quite majestic.

You don't need to guess to know that this person must be the prefect.

Lin Hai walked forward quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Lin Hai, the salt merchant, has met the prefect!"

The prefect was also looking at Lin Hai.

I was a little surprised that he was so young.

"What do you want from me?"

Lin Hai sneered after hearing this: "You really know how to pretend. If you are so well prepared, you must have known about buying things and giving gifts.

Still pretending to know nothing. "

Lin Hai said: "I heard that the salt here is of high quality, and I want to buy some salt from here and sell it elsewhere.

Naturally, we need the full help of the prefect.

I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts.

I just passed by a pawn shop and took a fancy to a small object, and I would like to ask an adult to taste it! "

Lin Hai asked Shitou to take the pair of jade lions forward and put them on the table in front of the prefect.

When the magistrate saw the pair of jade lions, his face was immediately filled with smiles.

"This little item you brought is really good, it can be said to be the best.

It's rare that you and I have the same hobbies.

Come sit down and chat! "

The prefect became very enthusiastic.

If you don't know, you really think it's two friends talking about antique calligraphy and painting.

Lin Hai sat next to the magistrate.

"I first came to Guibao Land, and I don't know anything about the rules here.

I have to ask the prefect to take care of me! "

"This is easy to say. In this world, what I say still has some weight!"

"That's right, the prefect is the parent official of this state. Who dares not to give face to the prefect!"

"Tell me, how big a business do you want to do here?" The prefect did not continue to beat around the bush, he picked up the tea and asked while blowing the tea leaves.

"Not much, only 30 catties a year! My business is small and I can't do much business!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

The prefect suddenly stared at Lin Hai closely.

"30 kilograms of salt, you have such a big appetite!"

"You don't know, adults, the business of selling salt seems to be very profitable. But the salt I sell is relatively far away, and I consume a lot of money along the way.

If the quantity is too small, you won’t make any money at all.

In addition, I also heard that the prefect has good calligraphy.

It's just a good time to ask the prefect to help me inscribe a calligraphy. I am willing to pay 5 taels of silver as the writing fee. "

As soon as Lin Hai said these words, the prefect was also shocked.

He has been an official here for many years, and no one has ever made such a big move.

This made him so excited.

I just like a powerful merchant like Lin Hai.

"Hahaha, yes, young people are bold in doing business.

Since you and I have so many common interests.

Of course I fully support it. "

"Thank you sir!"

"Speaking of inscriptions, my hands are really itchy. Someone is here. Bring me a pen and paper."

It is undeniable that the prefect's handwriting is indeed quite good.

I wrote an article in one breath.

"Look at my handwriting. Can you still read it?"

Lin Hai stood up and walked over to admire it.

He nodded and said, "It's indeed good. Being able to pass the Jinshi examination and be promoted to the prefecture is really impressive.

It's a pity that such a talented person never thinks about the people.

I think about corruption and money every day.

If you don’t have a good future, you are seeking your own death! "

The prefect was stunned at first, and then became furious.

"You are so brave. Do you know where this place is? How dare you say these words to me.

I take it you are not here to do business. Who are you? "Open your dog eyes. This gentleman is Lin Hai, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Lord Lin."

This person is Lord Yuhua Shiyu, the marshal of the Northern Army. "

Shitou shouted and revealed the identities of the two people.

The prefect was shocked and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Suddenly thought of something.

He suddenly took a few steps back and shouted outside: "Here are the people coming, arrest all these unruly people!"

With an order, a team of government officials rushed in instantly.

He drew his sword and surrounded Lin Hai and others.

"Bold, this is the imperial envoy appointed by the Queen Mother, how dare you draw your sword at me.

Does this person want to rebel? "

Shitou yelled at the people outside.

The government officials looked at each other in shock after hearing this, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

If the person in front of them is really an imperial envoy, doing this would be a serious crime of beheading.

The prefect shouted loudly: "Don't listen to their nonsense, these people are liars.

How dare you take money to bribe my official, but your official found out.

He also pretended to be an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court.

All of these people deserve death. Catch them as soon as possible and put them in prison. "

Naturally, the yamen servants had to obey the orders of the prefect.

He rushed forward with his knife in hand.

"Protect adults!"

Shitou took out a small crossbow and shot at the first person who came up.

The other guards followed suit and attacked.

In an instant, several government officials were injured by arrows.

The other people were so scared that they no longer dared to move.

I have never seen such a scene before, and there are actually people holding crossbows in the government office.

No matter how powerful they are, they don't dare to compete with crossbows.

"Shitou, take out my official seal and let them see it."

"Yes, my lord."

Shitou took out the big seal and opened the silk wrapped outside.

"Open your dog eyes and take a look. This is the official seal of the imperial envoy."

The remaining government officials no longer dared to resist, they all put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Sir, have mercy on me. I have eyesight but I don't know Mount Tai. I don't know that the imperial envoy is coming."

When the prefect saw the official seal being produced, he no longer had any reason to resist.

He was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the spot.

If the men Lin Hai brought did not have such powerful weapons, he could first ask the government officials to forcibly arrest Lin Hai and others.

This is his territory anyway.

Just treat him as a fake imperial envoy and kill him, and then find a way to frame him to the bandits.

You can report them to the court and say that they were robbed and killed by bandits on the road.

Spend a little more money and you can easily pass the level.

But he didn't expect that the men Lin Hai brought were so powerful and even had crossbows hidden on them.

No matter how many government servants come to such a powerful weapon, they are still no match for him.

What's more, the official seal was produced on the spot. No matter how courageous the government servant was, he would not dare to confront the imperial envoy.

"Your Majesty, you are very courageous. Not only did you accept bribes in front of me, but you also tried to imprison me.

I think you are so bold and you deserve death! "

"Please forgive me, sir. I will never dare to do it again. As long as I can be spared this time, I am willing to give you a generous gift."

"Oh, are you willing to hand over all the hundreds of thousands of corrupt dollars?"

Lin Hai looked at him with a half-smile.

The prefect did not dare to answer, he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

I don’t want to spend all the money I’ve accumulated over the years through corruption.
