Rich and powerful

On the other side of the autumn sun, sat a middle-aged man in an official robe.

This person has a thin face and deep eye sockets. It can be seen that he has not had a good rest recently and worked hard day and night.

Lin Yun clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "My subordinate, Lin Yun, has met Mr. Fu Yin!"

Even if he only had a false post in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was still a Yuanwailang, and he still had to have the proper etiquette.

Qiu Guangri immediately got up and laughed loudly, and said in welcome, "Mr. Lin, please come from a long way, please take your seat!"

This statement is extremely abnormal. He is a fourth-rank official, and it is a bit too much to treat Lin Yun, a sixth-rank official, to invite him to sit.

Lin Yun just froze for a moment, and then sat down on the chair beside him unceremoniously.

His position is just opposite to the middle-aged man in official robes.

Lin Yun deliberately asked: "Master Fu Yin, this is..."

Only then did Qiu Guangri explain: "This is Yin Tian Jingyu of Haocheng Mansion! He is a colleague of this official!"

Tian Jingyu then stood up, clasped his fists to Lin Yun and said, "I heard that there is a strange person in Yucheng, and I saw you today, Mr. Lin really deserves his reputation!"

Lin Yun pretended to be enlightened, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Tian, ​​what a disrespect! I heard that there was an accident in Haocheng not long ago. I wonder if the situation has eased?"

"The [-] catties of grain donated by Lin Yuanwai has now allowed the people of Haocheng to survive the famine safely! I am here this time to express my gratitude to Lin Yuanwai!"

Although Tian Jingyu spoke politely, his words were neither humble nor overbearing.

The look in Lin Yun's eyes is always full of meaning.

Lin Yun sighed secretly, through these few words, he could see that this Tian Jingyu was not simple.

It seems that he is very polite to himself, but he tastes it carefully, and seems to have something to say.

At the side, Ma Ji was also sitting beside Lin Yun, but he didn't dare to say a word, he just lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart.

At this time, Qiu Guangri said: "Master Tian, ​​Yuanwai Lin has also arrived now, so you should talk about the main purpose of this time, right?"

Lin Yun also pricked up his ears. He also wanted to know what Tian Jingyu wanted to do.

Tian Jingyu just nodded, sat down again, sighed quietly, and said: "The famine in Haocheng has been temporarily overcome! But because of the huge food deficit! The [-] catties of grain outside Lin Yuan is only enough for the common people to drink a mouthful of porridge , so as not to starve to death! This official thought that this matter could be overcome, but just the day before yesterday, the officials below reported that some victims of the disaster had already suffered a tragedy of cannibalism!"

Lin Yun frowned suddenly.

He heard the mysterious meaning.

First of all, cannibalism must be a very cruel thing.

But Tian Jingyu specially found him, and brought up this matter in front of him, his purpose is self-evident.

In the final analysis, it is still for food.

However, this time there was no imperial envoy, but he took the initiative to come to the door.

Lin Yun didn't say anything, just listened silently.

On the contrary, Qiu Guangri was surprised at first, and after taking a look at Lin Yun, he sucked his teeth, shook his head and said, "Master Tian, ​​I'm afraid this trip will be in vain! I don't have any food left in Yucheng now!"

Tian Jingyu nodded and said: "I know Master Qiu has no surplus food, so he came here specially to borrow food from Lin Yuanwai for the hundreds of thousands of Li people in Haocheng! This is how to tide over the difficulties! Presumably Lin Yuanwai will never die Bar?"

On the surface, these words seemed to be pleading, even moving out hundreds of thousands of Limin people, but in fact they were reaching out to Lin Yun for food.

They are not stupid, they have already inquired clearly, and know that Lin Yun has planted a thousand acres of land this year, and it is impossible for him to only produce a mere 12 acres of land!

Not only did he not believe it, but Qiu Guangri also did not believe it, otherwise he would not have done stupid things to assassinate the imperial envoy, and almost risked his own life.

This time when Tian Jingyu spoke, the corners of Qiu Guangri's mouth curled up, and he turned to look at Lin Yun.

He wanted to see how Lin Yun would answer, but he had already guessed in his heart how Lin Yun would answer.

On the other hand, Ma Ji's face was even paler. Tian Jingyu really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and he could say such a brazen thing.

Lin Yun sighed, sat up straight and said, "It is indeed a tragedy that something like this happened in Haocheng! But the rest of the food has been brought out before leaving! There is an imperial envoy as a guarantee, so don't you believe Master Tian?"

"Furthermore, Mr. Tian's words are not only distrustful of the subordinate officials, but even the imperial envoy is completely disbelieving! If this matter is reported to Shangjing, I'm afraid..."

Lin Yun is so scheming and wants to play these word games with him, how can Tian Jingyu be his opponent?
Tian Jingyu raised his eyebrows, and said: "I have absolutely no intention of despising the imperial envoy! This time, I came here not to shamelessly ask for food from members of the forest, but because there is really no other way! Members of the forest also support five hundred villagers , you should be able to understand how this official loves the people like a son, right?"

Lin Yun sneered, moved his body, leaned back on the grand teacher's chair, and said, "Since Mr. Tian loves the people like a son, why did such a tragedy happen in Haocheng? I have heard the imperial envoy say that Mr. Tian secretly withheld food. Enriching his own pockets and using them for other purposes! This is the root cause of the tragedy! What? Mr. Tian made a mistake, and instead of finding a way to solve it himself, now he wants to leave the trouble to the lower officials? What is the reason for this?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yun is not afraid of offending Tian Jingyu, even if there is someone behind him as a guarantor, Lin Yun will never back down.

Tian Jingyu snorted angrily, and said, "You little Yuanwailang, how dare you talk about what I have done? Lin Yun, I'm going to put my words here today. If you immediately take out another [-] catties of grain, I can do it for you." Don't blame the past, if not, then don't blame me for being dishonest! Do you really think you can hide the truth if you have any food in your hand?"

Lin Yun joked and said, "Whether I have food or not is none of your business! You, a corrupt official from Haocheng, dare to tell me what to do? In front of me, you are just an ugly jackal! Don't be ashamed!"

"you!!"

Tian Jingyu stood up abruptly, pointing at Lin Yun angrily, but he didn't know how to threaten him, so he could only look at Qiu Guangri and said, "Master Qiu, is this the official under your command?"

Lin Yun turned his head to look at Qiu Guangri, and said jokingly, "Lord Fu Yin, this Lord Tian is right! Why don't you punish me severely?"

There are two meanings in his words, Ma Ji understands it, and Qiu Guangri knows it well.

I really don't know anything today, but it hurt Chi Yu and made him feel bad.

However, when he saw Lin Yun's cold eyes, Qiu Guangri reacted immediately, picked up the teacup on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Tian has grasped the crime of deceiving the emperor by my officials, why don't you just report it directly?" The imperial court? What kind of arrogance do you come to me for?"

Tian Jingyu was taken aback, he didn't expect that Qiu Guangri would be in cahoots with a little Yuanwailang.
