Chapter 391

Li Lin is very uncomfortable sitting here. Unlike the other patriarchs sitting here, he has no influence at all. He can talk to them on an equal footing here, completely relying on the rules established by the country for who knows how many years .

Li Lin vaguely remembered that this country was split from the Mingyan Kingdom tens of thousands of years ago. Every time he thought about this, Li Lin knew that this society was very deep. What he saw now was still the surface, and even the strength of each family. How is still unknown.

Viscount Lezheng sat on the main seat and said, "About noon today, the investigation team sent by the noble council will arrive. How should we entertain them then?"

At this time, the Baron Chunyu Lan, who met Li Lin for the third time, spoke in a careless and lazy tone: "Entertainment? What is the hospitality? As usual, let's hold a banquet here and invite them once, right? There are so many things, and people are called over."

After saying this, several nobles around nodded their heads, thinking that this was reasonable, since they came here, it would be fine to hold a special banquet for them.

At this time, Viscount Le Zhenglan said: "Three titled nobles and two dukes are here. Is this a hasty matter?"

Tai Shuliang and the others didn't have much reaction to these words, but the nobles who were standing outside started talking after hearing this.

Baron Chun Yulan said in the same nonchalant tone: "Who am I? I made such a fuss. It's as if your ancestors have never had a title of nobleman. It's just a banquet as usual. Aren't the specifications universal? Just come."

Viscount Le Zhenglan frowned, but soon relaxed, and then said: "After all, he is a duke and a titled nobleman. Wouldn't it be disrespectful if he followed the rigid rules?"

"Disrespect?" Baron Chun Yulan seemed to have a grudge against Viscount Le Zhenglan, and said again: "What's so disrespectful, does it mean you can go further by flattering them?"

After finishing speaking, Baron Chun Yulan suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, and then said: "Oh, I forgot, you can take yourself a step further."

"Clap!!!"

With a crisp sound, Viscount Le Zhenglan crushed the pearl chain in his hand. After hearing this, the nobles standing outside all shut their mouths. No one dared to continue talking. They were no longer at this level. I can participate.

This situation reminded Li Lin of a story that his uncle Lingling told him before.

The story goes that Baron Chun Yulan and Le Zhenglan were a couple before they became barons. Chun Yulan was the first heir and Le Zhenglan was the third heir. The two were about to get married, but Le Zhenglan rescued King Liangqiu Yuankui by mistake, and then ignored the agreement with Chun Yulan and became the head of the Lezheng family with the help of King Liangqiu Yuankui. For this reason, the family was valued by the king and deliberately gave many gifts. Opportunity, and then promoted to the Viscount family in the past few years.

Because Le Zhenglan has become the head of the family, he can only marry, but cannot marry. On the day that Le Zhenglan inherited the title, Chun Yulan's father happened to die again, so the two of them inherited the title at the same time by mistake. The title, the two separated.

And Chun Yulan also loved deeply and was hurt deeply, so he hated Viscount Le Zhenglan.

"I thought it was fake at first, but now it seems." Li Lin looked serious at the side, but smiled in his heart: "It's wonderful." Then he looked at the other patriarchs: "I don't know the story between them. Whether true or false."

There are deep ties between the heirs of various families, and they often stayed together when they were young, so there will be various rumors.

At this time, the Baron Tai Shuliang said: "Chun Yulan, Lord Viscount is one level higher than you anyway, you are going too far."

Baron Chun Yulan showed a disdainful smile. To put it bluntly, their level only represents the size of the fief, not their status. If you have to talk about status, it is equivalent to the status difference between the chief steward and the butler. There is no difference , but still bowed his head instinctively.

"I apologize for my inappropriate words."

Hearing this, Viscount Le Zhenglan went down the steps, and stopped saying what he said before, but said: "What is the purpose of the investigation team coming this time, everyone knows, right? The strength will not be lost, so we should fool them away, as for other things, we will deal with them ourselves."

"Handle it yourself?" The newly appointed Baron Shen Tufeng stood up and said with a livid face: "My father and my younger brother both died in this accident, so is that all?"

Viscount Le Zhenglan said: "We just need to investigate clearly. There is no need for outside forces to intervene."

Baron Shen Tufeng said with a sneer: "The status of all the adults present is about the same. Even if we find out, you can handle it, or who can?"

Baron Tai Shuliang said: "In that accident, not only your family died, but also many people in my family died. What's more, how your father died is still unknown. Maybe someone is fishing in troubled waters."

"This requires the power of the council even more." Baron Shen Tufeng blushed, held back his anger, and said in a blunt tone: "My father, the baron, is dead. No one will admit such a crime, so The power of the parliament is needed to find out who died at the hands of."

When saying these words, Baron Shen Tufeng kept staring at Li Lin, which made Li Lin a little unbearable, so Li Lin mocked: "This happened because your men killed people. If you punish them first, The first one is you, you are the least qualified to stand here and say such things."

"Let's talk about it." Li Lin continued to sneer: "It depends on who did it, then it depends on who gets the most benefits here."

This sentence pierced his heart like a sharp knife, especially the thoughtful eyes of the people around him, which made him extremely unbearable, so he drew out the decorative long sword at his waist , took a few steps towards Li Lin, then put the long sword against Li Lin's neck and said, "Li Lin, I want to fight you to the death."

"Pay attention to the identities of you and Li Lin." Viscount Le Zhenglan frowned and said, "You are a baron now, and the country stipulates that life and death duels are not allowed above barons, so put down your weapons quickly."

The baron Tai Shuliang smiled, and then said: "This is the biggest joke I've ever heard. An ordinary level 10 actually challenges the limit of a healthy person."

"Haha."

Baron Xianyu, who had been watching the show next to him, laughed softly, but when he saw Shen Tufeng's red eyes, he coughed a few times and then closed his mouth.
