Jia Min's Counterattack

When the sky was just dawning, before the sun started to scorch the whole earth, and the occasional wind was still refreshing, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard of the inn where Lin Ruhai and the others rented.Uncle Thirteen was in charge of guarding in the second half of the night. Before the people outside the door approached their small courtyard, he sensed that someone was coming. He hid in the tree of the small courtyard and looked outside the courtyard. They came from the gate of the courtyard, and they arrived at the gate of the courtyard in a short time.

Uncle Thirteen quickly got down from the tree, and after waking up Old Shadow and the others, he walked outside Lin Ruhai's room and shouted, "Master! Are you awake? Smith is here!"

There was rustling sound of dressing in the room, and Lin Ruhai opened the door and asked, "Why did he come so early?"

"It is estimated that you were busy raising gold and silver all day yesterday. I am afraid that you really did not get the gold and silver as compensation before you left today and killed him."

"Let him in, I'll wash up and go there!"

Just as Smith knocked on the courtyard door, the door opened from the inside, and Smith instinctively took two steps back in fright.He looked at the thirteenth uncle who came to open the door in surprise, guessing whether they were prophets or their speed was amazing.

"Mr. Smith is here so early!" Uncle Thirteen said with a playful smile.

"Yes yes yes! I'm afraid of delaying Lin Daozhu's schedule! Is it too early, making Lin Daozhu sleep?"

"Our master asked you to come in and talk!" Uncle Thirteen didn't intend to chat with Smith at the gate of this small courtyard, so he opened the gate wide and invited him in.

Smith was brought to the hall of the small courtyard by Uncle Thirteen, and Uncle Eight brought him some refreshments.Just as Smith was about to pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea, he heard Lin Ruhai's voice.

"It's early, Mr. Smith! Have you had your breakfast yet?"

Smith hastily put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and bowed respectfully and said, "I'm very sorry for disturbing Master Lin's rest! I'm just afraid that I will be late and delay Master Lin's schedule."

"Eighth Uncle and Thirteenth Uncle went to see if the breakfast in the inn is ready, bring some here for use, presumably Mr. Smith hasn't had breakfast yet, let's bring his night together!"

"Thank you Lin Daozhu! You are such a good person!" Smith smiled flatteringly, making Old Shadow and the others secretly roll their eyes.

After a while, Uncle Bashi and Shisan brought breakfast, and Lin Ruhai invited Smith to sit at the dining table, and the two sat down and finished their respective breakfasts silently.

After Smith had a full meal, he felt a little better, and he relaxed unconsciously.

“林岛主，给您的那些赔偿应该是10万两黄金和10万两的白银，但是我如今只能筹集到8万两黄金和10万两的白银。剩下的那2万两黄金能否用宝石来抵？”

"That depends on what kind of gemstones Mr. Smith brings out. You also know that my requirements are very high. I don't want non-exquisite gemstones!"

"Of course! Of course! I don't dare to show ordinary gems to you, Master Lin. I know that only those top-quality gems can get into your eyes!" Smith said from the pocket of his coat. He took out two velvet bags, opened the bags, took out the gems inside, and showed Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed when he saw the sea-blue diamond and the blood-red diamond in Smith's hands. He never thought that Smith had such top-quality gemstones in his hand.The still-colored diamonds were deep and clear, and the blood-red diamonds were indeed gorgeous and eye-catching. Both diamonds were large and of very good quality.Lin Ruhai calmly removed the surprise in his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table and thought.

Smith clenched his fists nervously, his heart was beating up and down with the sound of Lin Ruhai's knocking on the table, and when he felt his heart was about to jump out in the next moment, Lin Ruhai said, "This diamond is for me. In fact, it’s not very useful, but since Mr. Smith has difficulties, then I’ll accept them and offset the 2 taels of gold you owe!”

Smith's heart fell to the ground following Lin Ruhai's words. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said to Lin Ruhai with a smile, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your understanding! I also want to thank you for this matter." Apologies, and thank you for your generosity!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and did not answer, but gave Old Shadow a wink, and Old Shadow stepped forward and put away the two diamonds.

Together with the eighth and thirteenth uncles, Smith set off first with a dozen carriages full of gold and silver.Smith volunteered to help deliver so much gold and silver to a pier on the east coast of Luzon, where ships from Linjiadao were docked.

Not long after they left, Rothlett also came, saying that he was going to see Lin Ruhai off.

"Master Lin, you must have known about the Great Elder. What the Great Elder did this time was too much. I am very grateful that you didn't take your anger out on me!"

"Master Chief's words are far from right. This is the fault of the Great Elder and Smith, and it has nothing to do with you, Chief. I, Lin Ruhai, am not a person who doesn't know right from wrong!"

"Of course I know Lin Daozhu is not that kind of person, I really treat you as a friend!"

"Since everyone has become friends, don't say such outrageous words anymore!"

"Okay! Here is a gift I prepared for you, please accept it! I hope you will come to our Luzon again when you have time!" Rothlett waved his hand, and the servants who followed were holding several big and small rosewood box up.

Lin Ruhai signaled to Old Shadow to accept the gift and put it on their carriage, then smiled and said to Rotlett: "Thank you, Chief, for your kind hospitality these past few days, the biggest reward for me this time is getting to know your friend I also sincerely invite you to come to our Lin Family Island as a guest when you have time, and then let me do my best as a landlord!"

"Good! Good! Good! I must go to see the legendary Lin Family Island when I have time!" Rothlet said with a smile.

After Lin Ruhai said goodbye to Rothlett, he boarded the carriage and headed for the east coast of Luzon.

The old shadow on the carriage asked Lin Ruhai: "Master! This chief is really strange. He indulged the great elder to strengthen his own strength. After so many years of enduring it, why did he suddenly attack the great elder this time?"

"This is the so-called emperor's art. While he manipulated the elder to seek personal gain, the elder also helped him deal with some people who opposed him. Once the behavior of the elder reached the bottom line that he could tolerate, then he promptly You can take the Great Elder's hard work for so many years as your own. Of course, this also requires a good grasp, no more or less!"
