The Golden Age Chapter 782: Cost

Although the Lin family is the largest family in Hangzhou, it has always been very low-key. Baofenglong is famous all over the world, but most people don’t even know that the behind-the-scenes owner of Baofenglong is Lin. As for Musk Moon, it is Baofeng. Long's real master, naturally, the people who know it are even rarer.

Although Lin's Mansion is also considered grand, it is not the largest mansion in Hangzhou. Among the many grand mansions in Hangzhou, it is not very eye-catching.

When Qin Xiao came to the Lin House, it was already dawn.

The entire forest house is guarded by officers and soldiers of the Shence Army. The main courtyard and the west courtyard of the house hold many prisoners, but most of these prisoners are originally held in Hangzhou prison, but the family members are all Not being held here.

The east courtyard is heavily guarded, there are people inside and outside the courtyard, and Lin Hong is detained in the east courtyard.

The news of Xiahouning's assassination is naturally impossible to spread to the outside world for the time being, so the officers and soldiers of the Shence Army here know nothing about Xiahouning's death, and they are still guarded strictly.

Qin Xiao knew that if he went directly into the house to look for Lin Hong, the guards would not necessarily let him in. He didn't want to be out of line. First he found Qiao Ruixin and asked Qiao Ruixin to send someone to follow him, so that it would be unimpeded.

Qiao Ruixin hesitated, but Qin Xiao claimed that he wanted to interrogate the assassin from Lin Hong, and the officials of Dali Temple also had the right to interrogate. Qiao Ruixin had no choice but to send Lang general Qishen with Qin Xiao.

With Qi Shen accompanied, entering the Lin House is naturally very easy.

When I arrived at Dedongyuan, the sky was slightly bright. Although the courtyard was small, there were still soldiers patrolling back and forth. It can also be seen that Xia Houning paid enough attention to Lin Hong.

I opened the door and entered, but the room was very dim. There was even an oil lamp on the table. In the corner of the room, a man in casual clothes was kneeling on the ground. On the wall in front of him, there was a picture of Guanyin hanging on the wall. , When Qin Xiao entered the door, the man was as if he hadn't heard him, and he didn't get up and turn his head.

Qin Xiao shut the door and walked behind the man, only to see the man with a rosary on his hand, turning the rosary while muttering.

"Are you Lin Hong?" Qin Xiao walked over to a chair to sit down and asked straightforwardly.

The man stopped the rosary in his hand, and then turned his head to look around. He was a little surprised when he saw Qin Xiao, but the color of surprise faded in an instant, his face was calm, and he asked, "I don't know which adult it is?"

Qin Xiao saw that Lin Hong was forty-five-six years old, and his figure was quite thin, and his appearance was even very elegant.

"Dali Temple Shaoqing Qin Xiao!"

"Are you... Master Qin?" Lin Hong was even more surprised, and couldn't help looking up and down Qin Xiao a few times.

Qin Xiao asked back: "Do you know me?"

"The villain dare not climb high." Lin Hong put down the rosary in his hand, stood up slowly, tidied his clothes, bowed to Qin Xiao, and said: "The villain has heard of the reputation of adults."

Qin Xiao knew that what he had done in Kyoto had long been spread, and the Lin family was well-informed, and it was not surprising that Lin Hong knew his own affairs.

Qin Xiao thought for a while, then raised his hand to signal Lin Hong to sit down and speak.

Lin Hong is a salute again, not humble or arrogant. He sat down in the opposite chair and stopped talking first.

"It seems that Master Hou is good to you." Qin Xiao looked around: "It's much more comfortable here than prison."

Lin Hong is indifferent

Laughed and said: "My lord is here, I don't know what you can do?"

"I heard that you are brilliant, Baofenglong was created by you." Qin Xiao stared at Lin Hong: "I want you to guess, what is the purpose of my trip?"

Lin Hongyun said calmly: "The villain no longer has the need to show off shrewdness. Prisoners under the ranks don't have much to do for adults. The adults have any orders, but it doesn't matter."

"It seems that these days have really depressed your will." Qin Xiao sighed: "The officials of Dali Temple appeared, I thought you would think that you were going to review your Lin family's case, and Dali Temple would intervene. If the Lin family is wronged, there may not be no chance to wash it away. But you don’t care. Can I think that you have nothing to say about the Lin family’s crime of treason and have already admitted?"

Lin Hong asked back: "The villain doesn't admit that it is useful? The house is surrounded by Lord Hou's subordinates. If adults can come in, they can't do it without Lord Hou's permission." After a pause, his expression calmly said: "Master Hou has determined that the Lin family has rebelled. This is an iron case and no one can turn it over. He did not want to see the adults reverse the case when he allowed the adults to enter the house. ?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "As expected of Baofenglong's owner, he is really shrewd."

"But the villain's intentions for adults are also very strange." Although he is a prisoner, life and death are in the hands of others, but Lin Hong deserves to be a son of a family, his appearance is correct, elegant and gentle, and his tone is also uneventful. Surprised: "The adult will not come to retrial the case, and should not take the villain to the execution ground, so the villain really cannot guess the purpose of the adult's trip."

"Why do you think I will not take you to the execution ground?"

Lin Hong smiled lightly and didn't speak.

"Suzhou Qian's rebellion, you know about it naturally." Qin Xiao's expression became grim: "If someone says that the Qian's rebellion, the other big families of Jiangnan Qi's family are not involved, don't you believe it?"

Lin Hong shook his head and said: "I don't believe it."

"In that case, the Lin family is really involved?" Qin Xiao stared at Lin Hong's eyes.

Lin Hongwei pondered, and then said: "As far as I know, after the Qian family rebellion, Master Qin seems to have escaped from Suzhou City with the princess, holding on to Shuning City. Your lord is now in Hangzhou, does it mean that the Qian family rebellion has been Ping Ding?"

"It seems that there is indeed a connection between you." Qin Xiao sighed.

Lin Hong also looked at Qin Xiaodao: "Master Qin came to Hangzhou this time, is it the order of the princess?"

"What do you think the princess sent me to Hangzhou for?"

"The villain doesn't know."

Qin Xiao seems to want to see through Lin Hong’s mind and stare at his eyes, but Qin Xiao also has to admit that Lin Hong’s self-cultivation skills are not comparable to those of ordinary people. The whole person is as calm as a mountain, and his eyes are also abnormally calm. On his face, it is difficult to see his current mood.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "If the Qian family succeeds, and the princess is really taken hostage in Suzhou, even under the banner of the princess, will your Lin family raise a flag to respond?"

He thought that Lin Hong would definitely avoid such a question, but Lin Hong's answer surprised Qin Xiao.

"The roots of the Jiangnan family are on the princess. If the princess opposes the Tang, the Jiangnan family will follow along without hesitation." Lin Hong calmly stated, "Not only the Lin family, Jiang

At least 70% of the aristocratic families in Nan will follow, and of course the seven surnames in Jiangnan are the first to bear the brunt. "

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It seems that you really don't care about your own life and death."

"Whether the villain cares, it doesn't make any sense." Lin Hong smiled and said, "At most three years, when the villain's head falls, the villain's life and death is doomed." After a pause, he continued: "But what the lord said just now was a bit wrong. The Jiangnan family followed the princess, not against Tang, but against Xiahou. No one would go against Tang."

Qin Xiao nodded and asked: "You said that within three years, do you mean that Xiahou's family will slowly take over Baofenglong from your hands?"

"It is not important to take over the bank. What is important is how to operate the No. 1 bank in the world." Lin Hong said calmly: "It is not difficult for Xiahou's family to spread all over the bank in the Tang Dynasty. Hundreds of banks can operate in an orderly manner." Slightly raised his head, not without pride: "Except for the Lin family, I am afraid that no other family in this world can do it."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Are you too confident? What the Lin family can do, can't the Xiahou family do it?"

"Do you know how many years did the Lin family prepare to connect the world?" Lin Hong stood upright, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "It has been a hundred years since Lin Jiazu gave birth to the idea of ​​connecting the world. Over the past hundred years, the Lin family has been preparing for Huitong the world. Each generation will specialize in training a person who manages the affairs of the bank, so as to prepare for one day to achieve their wishes. The operation of Baofenglong is the accumulation of the Lin family over the past century. Experience, this kind of business is completely different from tea horse silk salt. If it can be replaced at any time, how can the villain live to the present?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "So you know why you are alive."

"Everyone knows it." Lin Hong said lightly: "Killing a Lin Hong is just another head on the ground, but leaving Lin Hong, he can make a lot of money. The adults feel that I am willing to kill me when I am happy. Xiahou's family wanted to take Jiangnan from the princess, in the final analysis, only for the few ounces of silver, and among those few ounces of silver, the biggest source is Baofenglong. An Xinghou knows this clearly, so what? Are you willing to kill me?" A strange smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "He was worried that I would suddenly die suddenly, so he left many of the Lin family members in order to hold him...!" He sighed and murmured. : "If the interests are relevant, who cares about decent, any shameless means can be used."

"What did you tell me for?"

"Maybe there is still a desire to survive." Lin Hongqian smiled: "The adults came very suddenly and strangely. The villain doesn't know why. But the villain hopes that the adults can understand the value of the villain, maybe the adult Suddenly I feel that the villain is not useless, and even gave birth to the idea of ​​helping the Lin family. Wouldn't it be a way of helping the Lin family? No matter whether this is possible or not, it is better to try than to do nothing." A cup of tea was brought in front of Qin Xiao with both hands. After Qin Xiao took it, Lin Hong sat down again, still smiling calmly: "The villain is a businessman. When negotiating with a businessman, he always lets the other party know that he has strong strength. The villain is now just a prisoner of the ranks, and the only capital that can be taken out is the means to operate Baofeng Leong. No matter what needs the adults come here today, the villain will reveal the only capital that can be negotiated. There should be nothing wrong with it. ."

Qin Xiao stared at Lin Hong for a moment, and finally said: "Your life and death should be in my hands now, so I want to know, what reason do you think I have for you to live? Your only capital, again What benefits can it bring to me?"
