Lin Ruochen had been secretly observing, and found that these guards didn't seem to have hearing, no matter how lively the street was, none of them looked up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As the procession walked through the crowd, the villagers automatically moved out of the way, waiting for them to pass and then look at what they were interested in. Maybe the villagers are used to it, because Sima Nan goes out like this every year. But Lin Ruochen gradually discovered that something was wrong, because someone joined the team.

The people who joined were wearing the same clothes and masks as the guards, and they couldn't be spotted if they didn't look closely. But more and more people joined, Lin Ruochen didn't believe that no one noticed it, the guards should have noticed the abnormality first, after all, there were many people behind him, but they didn't react.

There is also Sima Nan, it is impossible for him not to know that there are nearly ten more people behind him, as long as he looks back, he can find it, but Sima Nan did not look back once.

"It's so strange!" Sima Tan whispered to Lin Ruochen, "Why are there so many people?

Lin Ruochen shook his head, "Don't worry!

Sima Tan didn't know why Lin Ruochen was so confident, but since he was so sure, there would definitely be no accident. Sima Tan believes in Lin Ruochen, although I don't know when this trust started, but now it is real.

Sima Nan led everyone to an ancestral hall and stood still, waiting for the guards to step forward and push the door open. Lin Ruochen looked up and found that the plaque on the door read "Sima Ancestral Hall". Needless to say, I also know that the ancestors of the Sima family are naturally enshrined in the ancestral hall.

Entering the ancestral hall, someone brought three one-person high incense sticks to Sima Nan, and after Sima Nan took it, someone handed over a burning torch to light the incense in Sima Nan's hand.

Sima Tan muttered in a low voice: "Is it so exaggerated? If you really respect your ancestors, even if you don't burn a stick of incense, your ancestors won't blame you." ”

Lin Ruochen naturally agreed with Sima Tan's statement in his heart, but he didn't say it. After all, so many people are watching here, and a disrespectful gesture can make them a public enemy.

"Stop talking, be careful of getting into trouble. ”

The two lowered their heads and whispered, and Sima Nan in front of them pulled the ten princes to kneel down and kowtowed to their ancestors and ancestors three times.

After worshipping, Sima Nan led the three of them into the living room behind the ancestral hall. Without waiting for Lin Ruochen to stand up, Sima Nan opened his mouth and said to him: "Do you want me to hand over the rights in my hand to Zhen'er?"

Lin Ruochen was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Sima Nan meant, could it be a temptation? Lin Ruochen quickly denied this idea, and he replied boldly: "I don't want to!"

The Tenth Prince misunderstood what Sima Nan meant, and said anxiously: "Grandfather, do you want to hand over your rights? But you can't do it here! And we haven't known each other for a long time......

"Zhen'er, you don't have to speak, I just want to hear what Lin Gongzi means. ”

Sima Nan waved his hand, sat on the chair in the middle and looked at the three of them, and finally stopped his gaze on Lin Ruochen.

"Why don't you want Zhen'er to take over my class? There must be a reason!"

Lin Ruochen suddenly had an idea in his mind, that is, he didn't know if it was the same as Sima Nan's thoughts.

"The identity of the Ten Princes is sensitive, and if the power is too great, it will become a common goal for everyone. Even if the other princes secretly fight and have a discordant relationship, they will unite for the sake of a common enemy, and when the time comes, let alone the ten princes, it will not be easy to survive. ”

Sima Nan nodded, obviously satisfied with Lin Ruochen's answer.

"I thank you for thinking about Zhen'er's future, and I am relieved to have you thinking about him. ”

"What does City Lord Sima want to do?

Lin Ruochen frowned, both wanting to guess Sima Nan's thoughts, but also afraid of really guessing his decision. But it backfired, and what Sima Nan said next was exactly what Lin Ruochen was thinking just now.

"I'm going to stay away from here in the future, so I need a successor. After Sima Nan finished speaking, he looked at Sima Tan fixedly, the latter was uncomfortable by him, and when he was about to speak, he heard Sima Nan continue: "I want to give all the money and military horses in my hand to Sima Xing." ”

Lin Ruochen shuddered! Sure enough, Sima Nan still decided to leave.

"I ...... I ......" Sima Tan suddenly stammered, wasn't he joking?

"After a while, all the stewards will come, and I will tell them personally: I, Sima Nan, have accepted the righteous son, and I will give him everything I have. ”

"Sima City Lord, please think twice, this decision is not necessarily a good thing for Brother Sima. Lin Ruochen opened his mouth to stop.

But Sima Nan shook his head, obviously not wanting to change his mind. He looked at Sima Tan and said, "I will give you everything in my hands, firstly because of your father's relationship with me, and secondly because I believe that you will use your ability to protect Zhen'er." And more importantly, I believe in you as a person, unconditionally!"

Sima Tan still hasn't woken up from Sima Nan's decision, this gift is too great.

"But, I ...... Castle Lord......"

Sima Nan shook his head: "You should call me my father-in-law!"

Sima Tan pounced and knelt down in front of Sima Nan: "Father-in-law, I am very content to have you as my father-in-law, but I ...... I ......"

"Sima Xing, you go outside with me, and I'll take you to meet my stewards in various places. ”

Sima Nan couldn't help but pull up Sima Tan, raised his legs and walked out. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and grabbed the Ten Princes with his other hand, and the three of them walked out of the door together.

Lin Ruochen shook his head, Sima Tan's personality was really not suitable for managing such a large industry, he was not careful enough, and he didn't have enough experience, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to subdue the many subordinates here in a short period of time.

But Sima Nan is too good at doing things, and he doesn't want money and power when he says he doesn't want it, he himself is easy with such a character, but he suffers from these people around him.

Sima Tan really regretted that he had not studied hard before, and when the first steward reported the year's harvest, Sima Tan at least remembered most of it. When the second steward came in to report, Sima Tan had already forgotten the previous one. After a few more people came in one after another, Sima Tan no longer knew what he had said earlier. There were countless numbers spinning in their heads, but they couldn't get them to sit in the right seats.

Sima Tan felt a little dizzy, and his brain had completely turned into a paste.

Oh my God, let him be a robber! It's too hard for him to be rich.
