Just as Lin Huaizhang's words fell, a large group of Jinyiwei suddenly arrived outside the gates of Lin Mansion.

These Jinyiwei were extremely skilled in their work. After arriving at the scene, they first surrounded Lin's mansion completely. Especially the batch of silver being escorted to the treasury was immediately confiscated by a large group of Jinyiwei on the spot. With blades drawn, all the people from Lin's mansion were pushed aside. Anyone who dared to step forward would be killed without mercy.

This scene made Lin Huaiyu and Lin Huaizhang's hearts suddenly jump into their throats.

The sound of hooves drumming approached, a line of elite Jinyiwei officers rode in. The one at the front was menacing, with a scar at the corner of his eye. His bearing alone was enough to silence even a crying child, and he didn't need to speak for his ruthlessness and malice to be felt. He was clearly someone best left unprovoked.

When Lin Huai Zhang saw the other party, his heart was even more alarmed, but he still forced a smile onto his face at the first moment and went forward to say: "Hu Qianhu, what wind brought you here If you have anything to do, just tell someone to bring a message, and I will immediately get it done and deliver it to your door. Why go to such great lengths"

Hu Fei sat on his horse, staring at Lin Huaizhang, a smile that didn't reach his eyes playing on his lips. "Mr. Lin," he said, "your family business is vast and your affairs are many. If this humble chief officer hadn't come here in person, I fear the people below wouldn't have been able to handle things properly."

Lin Huai Zhang walked up to Hu Fei, bowed deeply, and said with utmost humility: "Hu Qianhu, I don't know if I have offended you in any way If there is something, please speak. Whatever the condition, Lin will accept it without hesitation, just hoping that Hu Qianhu would be magnanimous and give me a chance."

Hu Fei dismounted and said faintly, "Lin Huaizhang, your Lin family is a well-known wealthy family in Suhang. You have a good relationship with the government, donating generously every year. You are a famous philanthropist. My Jinyiwei garrison in Suhang has received your kindness during every festival. When I first arrived in Suhang to take up this post, my predecessor told me that in Suhang, it doesn't matter if you offend the magistrate, but if you offend your Lin family, you will find it impossible to move an inch."

"What you said isn't far off. In the eyes of the common people, you are a great benefactor. To the officials, you are someone who understands their difficulties and is considerate. Whenever the local government needs money to repair or maintain things, you always lead the fundraising."

"It was going well, but when it came to the important part, how could you be so confused"

The more Lin Huaizhang listened, the heavier his heart became.

As expected, the court's retaliation has arrived.

And these Jinyi Guards before me, despite the fact that they'd smile and call each other brothers when I sent them silver in the past, they are the first to turn their backs on you at a critical moment.

Over the years, not to mention the officials, just bribing the Jinyiwei from top to bottom would cost at least 10,000 taels of silver a year. But now, this little bit of favor, it seems like it's not even worth a fart.

Wearing a strained smile, Lin Huizhang said, "Hu Qianhu, what's going on"

Hu Fei pointed at the pile of silver and said, "Don't you know what's going on The imperial court is in a difficult time right now. You are forcing the court to take out money, and you can't even take the lead. Instead, you are spreading rumors in Suhang that the imperial court bank is about to go bankrupt, and everyone's hard-earned money will be lost. Don't you think the Jinyiwei are fools"

When Lin Huaizhang heard this, a mouthful of blood almost surged up his throat. man in the world to be emperor. He was born to be emperor! His wisdom couldn't possibly miss this point, and his charm is irresistible!"Stunned by Zhou Ping'an's fervent expression, Zhou Changshou wa...
