Zhao Lin asked, "It's only two months until the New Year. You're so anxious. Aren't you afraid that your subordinates will arbitrarily assign flowers and stones to fulfill their duties, causing harm to the people?"
Zhao Chenhan said: "Nothing is perfect, there is nothing we can do about it."
"What a helpless thing! You say 'nothing', but do you know how many people's families will be destroyed? For your own selfish interests, you ignore the lives of the people." Zhao Lin glared at Zhao Chenhan: "Is this what Zhao Jingzhou taught you?"
Zhao Chenhan said angrily, "Zhao Lin, although you are the chief envoy, it is just a temporary title. Your status is not higher than mine. Please be polite when you speak."
"Polite? You guys in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are full of thieves and whores. You've lost all your skin for a little benefit. Why should I be polite to you?" Zhao Lin said coldly, "If you dare to do that, I will beat you to death."
"you?"
Zhao Chenhan was so angry that his face turned pale.
He didn't expect Zhao Lin to be so disrespectful. He actually wanted to beat him to death in front of the governor just for some untouchables.
Feng Siyuan quickly advised, "You two are both working for the court. Don't be so unfaithful. Just take your time to discuss it."
"No need." Zhao Lin refused directly: "I am the chief envoy, so naturally everything is under my command. If you, Zhao Chenhan, dare to give orders without my knowledge, I will beat you to death. If you don't believe me, just try it."
Zhao Lin sneered, "Then I'll hang your head together with Qiu Cheng's and send them to various provinces. That way I won't have to go and tell everyone one by one."
Zhao Lin suddenly realized: "Yes, what a good idea. Zhao Chenhan, hurry up, do as you say. Hurry up."
Instead, Zhao Lin urged Zhao Chenhan to give such an order, which made Zhao Chenhan so angry that his hands were shaking, but he didn't dare to give such an order.
He was really afraid that Zhao Lin would beat him to death.
"Useless thing." Zhao Lin cursed.
An assassin appeared last night, and Zhao Chenhan arrived today. Zhao Lin was 80% sure that it was Zhao Chenhan who did it, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him. Anyway, Feng Siyuan testified for him. If the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion really wanted to investigate, Li Xingye would naturally take the blame.
Unfortunately, Zhao Chenhan was a coward and just retreated.
Feng Siyuan was also disappointed.
Among the so-called Seven Young Masters of the Capital, except for Bai Shiyuan who is worthy of the title, the others are just show-offs.
Feng Siyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, please sit down and talk. Harmony is the most important thing."
Zhao Lin sat down casually and said to Feng Siyuan, "Sir Feng, we inspectors only have the responsibility of inspection and no other powers. So please take care of the matter of the Flower and Stone Gang."
"Of course I should." Feng Siyuan said, "Master Zhao, are you planning to leave?"
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "I still have to go on an inspection tour of other provinces, so I can only say goodbye to you for now. But I will come back when you need me."
"Yes, yes, official business is important, so I won't keep you here." Feng Siyuan nodded with satisfaction, seeing that Zhao Lin was smart enough.
Zhao Lin took the 10,000 taels of silver in front of Zhao Chenhan and said, "Thank you for helping me make a fortune. I'll have Master Gao send your 5,000 taels later."
Feng Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Let's make money together. I like people like you."
Zhao Chenhan was anxious: "Master Feng, what do you mean? Why did you give him the banknote?"
Feng Siyuan's face darkened. "Young Master Zhao, Deputy Envoy Zhao, do you have any objections to me?"
Zhao Chenhan was startled and said quickly, "No, no. But this banknote is a gift to you, sir. Why give it to him?"
Feng Siyuan asked, "Young Master Zhao has worked tirelessly to help His Majesty and the people. What's wrong with me giving him some silver notes to help him relieve his fatigue? Could it be that Young Master Zhao is reluctant to part with the silver notes and wants to take them back?"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I'm just worried that you've been cheated." Zhao Chenhan could only say with gritted teeth.
"Humph, as a governor, I've seen everything. How could I be deceived?"
The more Feng Siyuan looked at Zhao Chenhan, the more unhappy he became.
Originally, Zhao Chenhan took out a gift of 10,000 taels of silver when they met, and Feng Siyuan was very satisfied. However, compared with Zhao Lin, Zhao Chenhan was not as good as him.
Zhao Chenhan does things without considering the consequences. If there is any disturbance due to the flower and stone gang issue, won’t he, the governor, be the one who will be in trouble?
On the other hand, although Zhao Lin didn't get any benefits in return, just a random suggestion was enough to please the person behind him, and it could also help him take the blame. Isn't that better than that little bit of silver?
Comparing the two, Feng Siyuan disliked Zhao Chenhan even more. He said to Zhao Lin, "The governors of the nearby provinces aren't as easy to talk to as I am. Do you want me to introduce you to one or two?"
"It would be great if you are willing to help, sir." Zhao Lin said quickly.
With Feng Siyuan's recommendation, Zhao Lin can get things done more easily than if he goes there on his own. At least those people will give face to Li Xingye and Feng Siyuan, and even if they pretend to obey, it won't be too much.
Feng Siyuan immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen to write a letter of introduction to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Chenhan's face was distorted as he watched from the side.
What kind of magic potion did this bastard feed Feng Siyuan that made Feng Siyuan help him like this?
It's a pity that I had to bear the expectations of both Prince Yu's Mansion and Marquis Zhenbei's Mansion, spent so much money, and all of it was in vain?
There are three provinces near Jiujiang Province, namely Yangchang Province, Jing'an Province and Yuanling Province.
The governors of these three provinces often had contacts with Feng Siyuan, and they wanted to make money together, so Feng Siyuan wrote letters of introduction to the three of them.
"This letter of introduction can only help you meet them better, it has no other function." Feng Siyuan said.
Zhao Lin nodded: "Just seeing them is enough."
As the governor, if he doesn't want to see people, it will be useless even if Li Xingye comes in person.
Feng Siyuan asked curiously, "They don't have requests like I do. How do you plan to convince them?"
Zhao Lin smiled slightly and said, "The governor is also a human being, he is not immortal..."
Feng Siyuan's face darkened.
Zhao Lin quickly said, "It's just a joke, Lord Feng, don't take it seriously."
Zhao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I am serving as an Inspector General under the orders of Lord Li. Lord Li was personally appointed by His Majesty to oversee the Flower and Stone Project. Therefore, indirectly, I am also an imperial envoy. If they disobey me, they will be committing treason against His Majesty and deserve death. I might even have to take their heads and conduct an inspection tour of the surrounding areas."
Feng Siyuan was suddenly shocked.
Thinking back to when we met yesterday, this guy looked me up and down. I thought it was just a normal look, but now I think he has already made up his mind to take action if we can't reach an agreement.
Where does he get the courage from?
Zhao Chenhan next to him was happy.
If Zhao Lin really killed a governor, there would naturally be someone who would make Zhao Lin doomed without him having to do anything.
"As expected, heroes emerge young," Feng Siyuan praised. "But a governor is not a county magistrate. Li Xingye can bear the consequences for killing a county magistrate, but he can't bear the consequences for killing a governor. Besides, every governor has people in the court. You're courting death by doing this."
