"Yes!"

The chief guard nodded vigorously with a group of guards, and turned around without delay, preparing to leave the meeting hall.

"and many more!"

Lin Shi suddenly said, and under the puzzled eyes of the guards, he looked at the sixth elder's body: "Take him out."

"Yes!"

As soon as the guards stepped out of the gate, they immediately felt relieved.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was too weird, which was the last thing they wanted to face.

In contrast, it was a little easier to arrest the members of the Six Elders' lineage, which was one of their specialties.

"Let Lin Shi handle this matter."

Lin Zian said with a smile on his face: "Elders, who is in favor? Who is against?"

"We agree! We agree!"

A group of elders said again and again.

Lin Zian nodded slightly: "Since the matter has been resolved, the elders should leave too. It's so late, so that no one will say that I neglected the elders and didn't let you sleep."

Several elders stood up and laughed again and again: "Where is it, the Patriarch has done his best for our Lin family, so it doesn't matter if we clan elders are a bit tired."

"We already have martial arts, don't say we go to bed late, even if we don't sleep for three or four consecutive days, it won't cause any serious problems."

"Patriarch, whoever dares to blame you, I will abolish him on the spot!"

"..."

Hearing the flattering voices of other elders, the First Elder and Second Elder's heart sank even more.

You know, the other elders were the only ones who obeyed them. Except for the odd number of the third elder, the Lin family can be said to be under their control.

But now, in just one day, or more precisely, in just a moment, the object of these people's allegiance has suddenly changed to another person, and their attitude towards the two of them is even more humble than the original attitude.

Looking at the smiling elders around him, Lin Zian said calmly, "Let's go."

Immediately, the elders who were flattering swallowed the next section without any dissatisfaction, and walked out of the meeting hall with smiles on their faces.

The First Elder and the Second Elder couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing this, they quickly got up and walked out among the elders.

After a while.

In the meeting hall, only Lin Zian who was sitting on the seat, and Lin Shi who was standing aside were left.

"Homeowner..."

Lin Shi looked at Lin Zian, whose complexion was a little pale, and his excited expression was mixed with a little complexity.

Lin Zian smiled: "Uncle Clan, do you have something to tell me?"

The original owner was originally a descendant of the collateral line of the Lin family, and his parents were of the same generation as Lin Shi, so there was nothing wrong with calling him uncle.

When the original owner's parents died, Ben was adopted to other members of the family.

But because the original owner was already a teenager at that time, no adoptive parents were found for him.

Later, due to her amazing talent in martial arts, after gradually showing her prominence, and the fact that the original owner didn't want to have multiple parents, no one mentioned it.

As a result, Lin Zian also avoided some embarrassment.

Hearing Lin Zian's name, Lin Shi's mood eased a lot, he paused and said: "I think the Patriarch should not be very clear about what happened in the past three years, right?"

Lin Zian nodded: "I only learned about it from the old housekeeper."

old butler?

Lin Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the old man who had been the housekeeper in the family for many years, but his name had long been forgotten, so he said: "Then let the old man tell the Patriarch in detail what happened in the past three years..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Lin Shi said.

Lin Zian listened.

On the way, a servant girl came in to add some oil to the burning oil lamp.

After Lin Shi drank the eighth cup of tea, he finally stopped.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Lin Zian, only to see that Lin Zian, who had been listening carefully just now, was slightly lowering his head at this moment, wondering what he was thinking, and was still flipping a special copper coin in his right hand.

Seeing this, Lin Shi blinked, said nothing, and waited quietly.

The copper coins kept turning over at Lin Zian's fingertips.

The reason why the original owner was able to lead the Lin family from a small third-rate family to the three major families in Qingshan City, even the first family, and also served as the master of Qingyumen.

Among them, the one who helped him the most was his wife Li Qingman, a woman who dared to love and hate, and also had means.

And the reason why the wealth of the Lin family was able to expand so much was not due to the original owner, it was all due to Zhao Qingluo's business methods.

What the original owner did was just a messenger.

Originally, even after the death of the original owner, relying on Zhao Qingluo's means, the Lin family would never fall to the present situation.

But in the past three years, the First Elder and the Second Elder have been oppressing Zhao Qingluo all the time, preventing her from interfering with any family at all, and only giving her the lowest monthly salary, even worse than a servant.

Even if Zhao Qingluo wants to go out and do some small business, they will use all means to stop them, they will do everything they can.

And half a year ago, Zhao Qingluo disappeared suddenly, and then news of her death came.

Just hearing this news, Lin Zian also frowned.

Although he didn't want to have an extra wife out of nowhere, he didn't want Zhao Qingluo to die like this.

Judging by these things, the water was deeper than he had imagined.

Slowly, Lin Zi'an's mouth curled into a smile: "Interesting!"

Immediately when he raised his head, he saw Lin Shi showing a puzzled look, as if he thought he was called just now.

Lin Zian didn't explain either, and bowed with his hands clasped together: "Thank you, Uncle Clan, for telling me about these things."

"You're welcome."

Lin Shi explained: "I just don't want to see the family continue to be in charge of moths, otherwise, our Lin family may never rise again and become the laughing stock of Qingshan City."

"Anyway, I still want to thank the uncle."

Lin Zian laughed.

Although he could slowly inquire about the news through various channels, it was not as fast and complete as what he heard from Lin Shi.

Not to mention, because of Ping'er's marriage, Lin Shi had quarreled with other elders for a whole day.

"Since you already know everything, the old man should go back and rest."

Lin Shi stood up and walked towards the gate. Near the gate, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head and said, "Are you still you?"

Lin Zian smiled slightly: "I have always been Lin Zian."

"it is good."

Lin Shi nodded neither sad nor happy: "With your words, I feel relieved."

The door opened, and the sound of Lin Shi's footsteps gradually disappeared outside the house.

The smile on Lin Zian's face also slowly faded.

He is not the original owner, and he will not pretend to be a good old man of the original owner in order not to expose himself when he has absolute strength. That would be too tiring.

The other elders probably have already suspected him, but since his appearance and memory have no flaws, they just think that his personality has changed because of the so-called nameless mental method.

Only Lin Shi, who was close to the original owner, could vaguely see something different, but he was not sure.

But Lin Zian is not worried about Lin Shi, as long as he is beneficial to the Lin family, Lin Shi will always support him.

What's more, Lin Zi'an did not deceive Lin Shi, after all, his real name is Lin Zi'an.

Putting away the copper coin in his right hand, Lin Zian walked out of the meeting hall, and returned to Lin Ping'er's courtyard under the awe-inspiring eyes of several guards.

"Master!"

At the gate of the yard, as soon as he saw Lin Zian appearing, the old butler immediately came up to him.

There were more than [-] people standing outside the courtyard, all of them were standing up straight at this moment, and they forgot to come here in high spirits.

"Ah."

Lin Zian asked, "Is there nothing wrong?"

"The servants of the First Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Sixth Elder came to see, but we blocked them outside the courtyard."

The old housekeeper replied.

"well done."

Lin Zian nodded with a smile, and looked at everyone beside him: "Thank you for your hard work, it's so late, everyone, go back to sleep."

"Homeowner."

The old housekeeper said forcefully, "We are not sleepy!"

Lin Zian looked at the others, everyone was full of energy and no sleepiness, and seemed to agree with the old housekeeper's words.

He shook his head and said, "This is an order!"

"Respect Patriarch's order!"

The boss's family bowed deeply with everyone, and then gradually dispersed.
