Chapter 155 -- Family Contradictions
Lin Yuan is already famous in Qianxing Town. He is not only the first master of the young generation of the four major families, but many people think that even among the predecessors of the time-honored brand, he is the number one.
After all, when the Lin family happened, almost everyone knew Lin Yuan's strength. Lin Yuan saved Lin Jiazhuang, but they were still not very clear about Lin Yuan's appearance. In addition, this was the periphery of Qianxing Town. Although it was well-informed, they did not pay special attention to Lin Yuan.
"The owner of the lonely family, this is Lin Yuan." Lin Jianxin said bluntly and directly.
Dugu Ba's expression moved slightly. Although he did not see Lin Yuan's strength with his own eyes, he still knew that Lin Yuan saved Lin Jiazhuang alone.
Although Lin Jian is a master of the seventh floor the day after tomorrow, as long as he is not blind, he knows that there is no difference between him and Lin Yuan.
Duguba turned his eyes in surprise and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Duguba's face changed slightly, because in his eyes, Lin Yuan was like a deep pool of well water, which could not be seen to the bottom at a glance.
Duguba's eyes suddenly emitted a light, and his heart also trembled. He was a martial artist in the nine-fold realm of the day after tomorrow. Although he was not as good as Lin Qingming, his own strength could not be underestimated. At this time, he could not even see through his cultivation.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's really a hero. I didn't expect that I would miss him."
Lin Jian smiled and said, "Uncle Dugu, since we have come, you can also say directly about the situation at this moment."
The smile on Dugu Ba's face was slightly stiff, and he smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story, and it's also the misfortune of my Dugu family that such a thing happened."
Lin Ying and others were slightly shocked, and they vaguely felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as they thought.
Duguba waved his big sleeves and suddenly shouted, "Set up a banquet for me. I'm going to wash the dust for you."
That night, a large banquet was held in the Dugu family, which not only greeted the core children scattered throughout the family, but also some important stewuls of the family returned to the manor.
Duguba made it clear that he wanted to use the ability of Lin Ying and others to suppress the people who were ready to move at this moment.
Although Lin Ying and the three have known the purpose of the old man for a long time, the old man's purpose coincides with their intention to come here, so even Lin Yuan, who is unwilling to show his face, is the only mud bodhisattva who sits above the chief and is as smiling as them.
On the contrary, Lin Jian is quite adaptable to this kind of occasion and responds properly, which makes people feel good.
At the banquet, Duguba solemnly introduced Lin Ying, Lin Jian and Lin Yuan. When everyone heard that it contained two martial artists from the nine realms of the day after tomorrow, everyone's faces showed a surprised smile.
During this period, they were forced into a dilemma by the Zhou family, and their hearts were like a boulder. It was not until now that they relaxed.
The nine-fold master the day after tomorrow is like an unattainable mountain for them, which brings them unimaginable pressure.
However, not everyone showed an ecstatic expression. On the faces of several old and young people in the second seat, there was a strange look, and there was even a little confusion and panic.
Dugu Ba glanced at them and said loudly, "Second Elder, please go to Zhou's house tomorrow and tell them that I have considered the shops in the town and the surrounding farmland. It's all the foundation of our lonely family. No matter how much money they pay, we won't sell them.
At the second table, an old man slowly stood up. His age was similar to Dugu hegemony, and his face was vaguely similar, but there was a pair of triangular eyes on his face. The cold eyes like poisonous snakes were chilling.
"Master, the Zhou family is also a goodwill, and the fields around our village are fine. But now the business of the shops in the town is not good. If you open it for a day, you will lose a day. In this case, why not cash it out?
Duguba snorted coldly and said, "Two elders, don't you really know why the stores in the town are losing money?" He paused and sighed, "Those stores are all century-old names inherited from the first generation of the elders of the Dugu family. In any case, they can't be lost from my hands."
A young man suddenly stood up at the second table. He was about the same age as that man and was wrapped in black. When he stood up, he suddenly took on a fierce momentum.
He took a step forward and said, "Master, although the store is a time-honored brand, since it is not well managed, you might as well sell it temporarily. If you have money in the future, can you still buy it?"
Duguba glared at him angrily and finally stood up.
Under his angry eyes, the man in the seat lowered his head, even the first old man.
Duguba suddenly sighed and said, "I have something to say to a few elders. Let's leave first."
There was a sound from the table, but after a while, except for the chairman and some people at the second table, they walked away.
Lin Jian and Lin Ying were about to leave, but they were firmly held down by Dugu Ba. He shook his head slightly, and everyone immediately understood that there must be an inside story.
After Duguba treated everyone to leave, he said, "Second elder, third elder, I know you want me as the head of the family. But even so, you should not rely on the hands of outsiders to seek home property.
The old man suddenly looked up, and his triangular eyes were cold and fierce. He sneered and said, "Master, since you said so, do you want to completely break with me?"
Duguba sighed and said, "Six hundred-year-old brands in the city are in your hands. It turned out to be a loss for years. Instead, Zhuangzi asked you to subsidize your family. I think for the sake of my family, I have been forbearance. But now you have become more and more united with the Zhou family and use the power of the Zhou family to coerce me. At this point, can I put up with it again and again?
Lin Yuan and others suddenly realized that with more than 100 years of foundation, the Dugu family could not find the nine-fold master rescue here the day after tomorrow. Instead, they asked Lin Jiazhuang to take action.
And the Zhou family is just an emerging family. Unexpectedly, they have such a huge appetite and suddenly stared at the Dugu family, which has been inherited for a hundred years.
All this unreasonableness has the best explanation at this moment.
Internal thieves are difficult to prevent. Since they are the direct relatives of the Dugu family, it is naturally difficult for the rest of the family to intervene at will.
Lin Jian shook his head slightly and suddenly said, "Uncle Dugu, I have something to ask you."
The second elder's eyes flashed fiercely, but since he knew that Lin Jian was the son of Lin Qingming, and Lin Qingming was a martial artist at the ninth peak of the day after tomorrow, he did not dare to be rude in front of him anyway. He had to hold his fist from afar and said, "Lin Jianxian's nephew, please."
Lin Jian picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then said, "Second Elders, if I didn't expect it wrong, you and the Zhou family should have made an agreement. As long as the store and field are really included in the name of the Zhou family, they will return it to you in the future, right?"
The second elder hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing. However, looking at him like this, he chose to default.
The Lin family sighed and said, "Two elders, you are also a wise man. Do you really believe what the Zhou family said? Or did the Zhou family give you any guarantee to make you believe that they will fulfill their promise after obtaining the store and field?
Lin Yuan and Lin Ying looked at each other and sighed in their hearts at the same time.
All their minds are devoted to cultivation, and the rest is a little unsatisfactory.
Lin Jian can find out the entanglement of the problem and express it in some way, but they can only be a strong backing for Lin Jian.
