The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Lin Tailai replied without thinking: "Whether the court believes it or not depends on how you report it, sir.

As long as it is reported to you, Sir, the court will definitely believe it. "

Hai Rui turned around and asked again: "The key to the whole thing now is, where did the soldiers who arrested you come from?

This is the direct trigger of the tax resistance turmoil. If you speculate about the Li family of Linhuai Marquis, that is just your one-sided statement. "

Lin Tailai complained in his heart, "Hai Qingtian, you've been clinging to this doubt forever, right?"

Then he used a move to turn reality into fiction: "No, no, no, this is not the most critical point. No matter who sends these officers and soldiers, as long as they come from Nanjing, they are destined to trigger a tax resistance storm!"

Then there was another move that changed the world: "It can even be said that even if I had not been arrested, there would have been a tax protest!

Because the people's sentiments about taxes in Suzhou Prefecture have accumulated to a critical point in the past ten years!

Under this kind of public opinion, all that is missing is a reason to resist the tax. What the reason itself is is not important! "

Hai Qingtian was very puzzled by some new terms and said in confusion: "What does critical point mean?"

Lin Tailai thought to himself, I'm not afraid that you don't understand, I'm afraid that you understand! If you understand everything, how can you still fool me?

Then he directly gave an example: "Think back fifteen years ago, sir, you were also the governor of Jiangnan. Why did you win the praise of all people in just a few months?

Isn’t it because, Sir, you have cleared out a large number of fields occupied and hidden by powerful people, expanded the tax base, and reduced the tax burden of other ordinary households?

If you think back to the public's desire for tax cuts at that time, it was at a critical point! "

Then Lin Tailai pointed out from a high position and to the point: "Economic problems have a small cycle every few years, and the current public opinion situation is similar to that of fifteen years ago.

This is the key to the tax resistance crisis, and it is the most urgent problem for you, the imperial envoy, to solve! "

After Hai Qingtian thought deeply, he nodded and said, "It makes sense! So, who sent those soldiers who arrested you?"

Lin Tailai was speechless, Hai Qingtian, are you a devil? Always pay attention to these little details!

When he, Lin Tailai, was already firing on all cylinders, most people would not be able to withstand it long ago and would be led away by the nose.

Official Lin also had a temper and said angrily:

"I am obviously an innocent victim, but Mr. Boss seems to be interrogating me repeatedly as a criminal. It is simply inexplicable!

If the boss is really serious, then go and investigate it yourself and ask me what this victim is doing! "

Although Lin Tailai seemed excited, his words were a bit disrespectful and put emotional pressure on Hai Rui.

But Hai Rui remained as calm as water and said calmly: "It's not certain who is the victim."

Lin Tailai: "."

Why is this Hai Rui so stubborn? Hold on to a doubt that has nothing to do with the overall situation and just don’t let go!

Hai Rui added: "You have been living with those soldiers for more than ten days. With your keenness, you can still see some clues.

Is it because you really can't see through their origins, or do you just don't want to tell them? "

Lin Tailai was really convinced, and Hai Rui seemed sure that he must know something.

Yes, he does know, but he really can’t tell!

Then he replied: "If the boss wants me to say something, then I can provide you with two ideas!

The first idea is to interrogate the biggest suspect Li Zongcheng and dig out information from him.

Previously, the boss could not interrogate the Prince of Linhuai without authorization, but now that the boss has been appointed as an imperial envoy by the court, he can interrogate Li Zongcheng! "

Hai Rui responded: "You don't need to teach me this, this hospital will do it naturally."

Lin Tailai immediately said: "This is what a normal imperial envoy should do!

Instead of questioning me, the victim, you always want me, the victim, to provide clues! "

But Hai Rui didn't take Lin Tailai's words at all and asked, "Then what is your second idea?"

Lin Tailai replied: "The second idea is that the biggest beneficiary is often the biggest suspect!

The boss only needs to think about, if you are punished, who will be the biggest beneficiary? "

When Wei Guogong Xu Bangrui heard that Hai Rui had suddenly arrived in the West Garden, he hurried over from the nearby Zhongshan Palace.

As soon as I got closer, I heard Lin Tai talking about "the biggest beneficiary", and I couldn't help but feel "thumped" in my heart!

If the Li family of Linhuai Marquis is involved, the biggest beneficiary will of course be Xu Bangrui, the Minister of Defense of Nanjing City will directly get it!

How dare Lin Tailai lead Hai Rui like this? What is the difference between this and setting yourself on fire?

Hai Rui felt that it was only now that he heard really useful information from Lin Tailai. He stared at Lin Tailai sharply and asked, "Then who will benefit the most?"

Lin Tailai said impassionedly: "If I am punished, imprisoned and convicted, the biggest beneficiary will be Wang Dianzhou, the leader of the literary world, the leader of the retro-revolutionary faction, and the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Hai Rui: "."

Lin Tailai continued to talk and said: "The only people who have expressed hostility towards me and taken action are Wang Danzhou, except Li Zongcheng, the prince of Linhuai Marquis!

He personally accepted the Xi family's appeal as the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Isn't this worthy of attention?

Moreover, after rectifying me, Li Zongcheng may only be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but there may not be much actual benefit.

But Wang Danzhou is different. By physically getting rid of me, the archenemy of the retro style, he will gain both fame and fortune! "

Hearing Lin Tailai bring up Wang Shizhen again, Hai Rui felt overwhelmed and frowned.

Now there are so many clues, how can he have the energy to open up the Wang Shizhen line!

Lin Tailai muttered loudly: "Of course, if the old man is concerned about Wang Shizhen's literary status and influence and doesn't want to investigate Wang Shizhen, then just ignore it!"

Hai Rui suddenly came to Lin Tailai, intending to get first-hand information from Lin Tailai and sort out his thoughts.

As a result, the more he listened, the more confused his thoughts became.

In such a short conversation, Lin Tailai kept frantically instilling information, and countless messy opinions and speculations seemed to roll back and forth in his mind.

Sometimes he analyzed the root cause of the dilemma, sometimes he talked about the key to the problem; sometimes he said this person was suspicious, and sometimes he said that person was the beneficiary.

If we take every item seriously and check every item, it will be too messy.

At this time, Lin Tailai was heard saying, "In half a month, the Jiangnan region will begin to collect taxes. Time is running out, and the old man has only a few days to use. You must hurry up." Half a month, minus the time spent on the road to report to the court and the imperial edict issued by the court, Hai Rui only has three to five days left for investigation. After reminding Hai Rui that time was running out, Lin Tailai patted his forehead and shouted, "By the way, I think of another suspicious candidate. Please investigate it strictly!" "Enough! Shut up!" Hai Rui finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded. Lin Tailai whispered, "The one who insisted that I say something is the old man, and the one who told me to shut up is still the old man. It's really hard to be a man!" Hai Rui was so angry that he walked away, not wanting to say a word to Lin Tailai. After watching Hai Rui leave the West Garden, Mr. Sheng dared to speak, and sighed to Lin Tailai:

"Hai Qingtian is really hard to deal with. Fortunately, Lin Jieyuan is eloquent and managed to persuade Hai Qingtian to run away."

Then Mr. Sheng seemed indignant and said: "There are so many evil people in this turmoil!

Hai Qingtian only holds on to you, the arrested person, and ignores others. It is a bit biased!"

Lin Tailai said: "No, you said it the other way around. Governor Wei and the Xi family are definitely finished!

Hai Qingtian didn't spend any more time today talking about the governor and the Xi family!

This shows that in Hai Qingtian's heart, they are all dead, and there is no need to talk about them anymore!"

Mr. Sheng was full of admiration. Even if he was not Jieyuan, Lin Tailai could still thrive as a "commoner". It was not without reason.

Then Lin Tailai said, "Now what I should consider is who should be the new governor."

Mr. Sheng: "."

Please be clear-headed. The new governor should probably be recommended by the imperial envoy Hai Rui. What qualifications do you have to consider it?

Lin Tailai sighed, "It's not that I am selfish and greedy for power, but for the sake of the overall situation and to quickly calm the storm, the new governor should be approved by me.

I believe Hai Qingtian must be a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. He doesn't have much time left."
