Liu Chengmin noticed that Jiang Hanqing's eyes seemed to be worried, and he knew what the reason was, so he smiled faintly, "As for the quota of the township test, since the city lord has promised you, he will naturally not go back on his word." ”

At this moment, Jiang Hanqing was completely relieved, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Lord City Lord......!

He wanted to say something, but Liu Chengmin stopped, "Needless to say, this city lord needs you to do something." ”

"Lord of the City, please speak!"

"You find some ruffians, and then let them go to that shop twice in three days. Liu Chengmin looked at Jiang Hanqing and said his thoughts, which shows that he still misses that shop.

"This ...... It seems a little inappropriate!" Jiang Hanqing naturally understood Liu Chengmin's intentions, but he didn't want to cause trouble anymore.

"You don't have to worry too much, and the city lord will cooperate with you when the time is right! I believe you understand what the city lord means. Liu Chengmin saw Jiang Hanqing's hesitation, and there was a secret warning in his words.

Jiang Hanqing had no choice but to agree. However, after he left the City Lord's Mansion, he was secretly scolding: What a shameless old fox, you want me to have a grudge with that kid, and test for you if there is really an elder of the Alchemist Alliance behind that kid, don't think about it!

————

After sending Jiang Hanqing away, Liu Chengmin secretly sneered: "What about getting the IOU back, in this Qingluo City, there is nothing that the city lord can't get!"

Then he ordered one of his subordinates: "Go! Call Lin Tianxiong!"

A soldier from the City Lord's Mansion immediately received the order to go out, and at this moment, a figure appeared in front of Liu Chengmin and stopped the soldier, "Slow!"

This is a middle-aged man with small eyes, a mustache, and sharp-beaked monkey gills, which gives people the feeling of a roe deer at first glance.

This person's name is Chai Jiudao, and he is a counselor of the City Lord's Mansion.

People can't look good, if this person is just a small counselor, it would be a big mistake, just listen to his name - Chai Jiudao, you know that he is not a good type.

He is not only ruthless, but also scheming, in addition, his strength is also quite good, and more importantly, he can be Liu Chengmin's right-hand man, he has his own uniqueness, and what he is best at is to give advice, so he has won Liu Chengmin's trust and respect, otherwise he would not be able to appear by Liu Chengmin's side at this time.

"Counselor Chai, do you have anything to say?" Liu Chengmin naturally knew that Chai Jiudao must have his intention to stop the soldiers, so he was not angry.

"Lord of the City, this is the period of Sengan, and it is probably a bit inappropriate for you to call Lin Tianxiong so publicly, after all, the Lin family was named by 'above', and the subordinates are worried that the adults will be misunderstood. Chai Jiudao is very respectful, don't look at him as a powerhouse in the Zhengang Realm, but he must be cautious in front of Liu Chengmin, and even bow his head.

Liu Chengmin was also quite satisfied with his performance, and at the same time nodded, "Well, you're right, I'm negligent about this." Why don't you go to the Lin family?"

"My subordinates are willing to go, but I don't know why the city lord wants his subordinates to go?" Chai Jiudao obviously didn't know Liu Chengmin's intentions.

"It's very simple, you just go and tell Lin Tianxiong and ask him to find a way to force Lin Tianxiao to hand over the title deed of 'Desheng Zhai'. ”

"It's just that they are willing to give in? After all, as long as that Desheng Zhai is still in Lin Tianxiao's hands, it still belongs to the Lin family, and that 'mysterious person' ......" Chai Jiudao is still puzzled.

"Don't worry, Lin Tianxiong has long been a frightened bird, and the entire Lin family is a group of soft eggs, when the city lord accompanied the three princes to arrest Lin Weiliang, no one dared to stand up...... And I promise them now that I won't let people disturb the other shops of the Lin family, and they can't wait to work for me, hahaha......"

Yoo Seungmin was confident, and he couldn't help laughing.

"High! It's really high! The city lord's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone! His subordinates admire it so much!" Chai Jiudao lost no time in making a big slap, and Liu Chengmin was also quite useful.

————

When Chai Jiudao came to the Lin family, the Lin family was really flattered, but after calming down, they decided to let Lin Tianqi come forward, and Lin Tianxiong, as the patriarch, did not show up for the time being, and first understood the other party's intentions before making plans.

Of course, Lin Tianqi also personally greeted Chai Jiudao at the gate to show his attention.

"It turned out to be Counselor Chai, what a rare guest, please sit inside!" Lin Tianqi was very earnest, and his face was full of smiles, as if the other party was an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

Chai Jiudao was not polite, and walked directly into the Lin family.

Soon, the two entered a hall, which was naturally the Lin family's living room.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Lin Tianqi spoke first: "I don't know what wind blew the big red man next to you, the Lord of Liucheng!"

"It's nothing, I just want to visit an old friend, but I don't know why I can't see Patriarch Lin Tianxiong?" Chai Jiudao didn't see Lin Tianxiong, and his heart was naturally dissatisfied, and even his face was a little gloomy.

"It's really unfortunate, my brother went out a few days ago and hasn't returned yet, so I hope Counselor Chai will forgive me, if Counselor Chai has something important, Lin can also be the master. ”

Lin Tianqi saw that the other party's face was not good, but he was still smiling and enthusiastic.

"Hehe, that's good, Brother Lin, I heard that your grandson had a conflict with Lin Yan, and you also lost face in front of that kid. Chai Jiudao was not so enthusiastic, even a little yin and yang, and quite a bit mocking.

Not only that, but his title to Lin Tianqi made Lin Tianqi secretly annoyed, because he was much younger than Lin Tianqi, and the title "Brother Lin" really shouldn't come out of his mouth, but Lin Tianqi didn't dare to be angry.

In the wild world, everyone knows that only strength is the standard for measuring who is right and who is wrong.

It's not who is right if it makes sense, but whoever has a big fist is right!

Because Chai Jiudao not only holds great power, but also has stronger strength than the entire Lin family, Lin Tianqi can only reluctantly accept the seemingly affectionate title of "Brother Lin", and does not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

There was a breath of anger in his heart, but there was no way to vent, which made Lin Tianqi's face quite ugly, but he knew very well that he couldn't get angry at the other party, and he could only vent his anger on Lin Yan.

"That kid is so arrogant and hateful that the old man can't wait to slap him to death. He admitted what the other party said in disguise.

But looking at his gritted teeth, people who don't know really think that he hates Lin Yan, but as everyone knows, at this moment, he secretly scolded Chai Jiudao in his heart, because Chai Jiudao not only called him "Brother Lin", but also exposed his scars to his face, which was undoubtedly a slap in his old face!

Although Chai Jiudao's face was expressionless, he was very satisfied, because he was testing Lin Tianqi's attitude towards Lin Yan, and he really hated Lin Yan very much.

Then he smiled at Lin Tianqi, and his tone was quite kind, "Since Brother Lin hates this kid so much, why don't you give you a task?"

He also doesn't plan to talk too much nonsense with the other party and gets straight to the point.

Lin Tianqi heard the other party call him "Brother Lin" again, and his old face was already angry, but he held back his anger and said in a low voice: "May I ask Counselor Chai, is it the Lord of Liucheng who asked you to come?"

"Brother Lin, don't guess, can't I come to see you?" Aren't I welcome?" Chai Jiudao was as cunning as a fox, how could he drop the handle and deny it directly, and his tone became a little cold.

If he admits that he was sent by Liu Chengmin, if he is stabbed "above", he may be used by someone with a heart to play the topic, this is officialdom, you must always be careful, you can't easily leave a handle on people, and he is also well aware of this.

"Don't misunderstand Counselor Chai, you can come here, my Lin family is already flourishing, how can you not know what to do!" Lin Tianqi hurriedly apologized, and his face was "sincere", he was very worried about offending the other party.

"What does Brother Lin think of what I just said, if you can handle this matter well, the city lord will be very happy. Chai Jiudao's words had already made the meaning clear, and he believed that Lin Tianqi would definitely be able to understand.

Sure enough, Lin Tianqi immediately asked: "Please Counselor Chai make it clear! As long as it is the order of the city lord, my Lin family is willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

He said this, in fact, he wanted the other party to understand that the Lin family and Lin Yan would no longer have anything to do with each other, and he also hoped that the City Lord's Mansion would no longer embarrass the Lin family.

"Hehe, very good!" Chai Jiudao finally smiled, and seemed quite satisfied, so he ordered: "Then please ask Brother Lin to find a way to force him and Lin Tianxiao to leave 'Desheng Zhai', in addition, you must send someone to keep an eye on him day and night, and be sure to find out who is behind him." ”

The reason why this task was handed over to Lin Tianqi was because in Chai Jiudao's opinion, there was no one more suitable to complete this task than Lin Tianqi, and he was also sharing his master's worries, of course, he didn't know that Liu Chengmin had already sent someone to Lin Yan, and the spy was still a member of the Lin family, that is, the middle-aged man.

However, he also has his own selfishness, after all, he also knows that after Lin Yan was seriously injured by the third prince a month ago, not only mysteriously disappeared, but he was able to recover miraculously recently, and he also mastered a cultivation method that even Liu Chengmin couldn't understand - the Spirit Dao.

Everything of this kind revealed a strange aura, which also made him have some thoughts about Lin Yan, but he couldn't judge what Lin Yan's true situation was, which had to make him a little jealous in his heart.

"Counselor Chai, why don't you just kill that kid?" Lin Tianqi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and at the same time, he made a downward movement with his right palm.

On the issue of Lin Yan, it can be said that he is more anxious than Chai Jiudao, and even more vicious and vicious, and with his scheming, where can he see Chai Jiudao's intentions.

"Hmph, it's just an ant, and he can't make any big waves!" Chai Jiudao snorted coldly, his tone extremely disdainful.

It was easy to kill Lin Yan, but neither he nor Liu Chengmin could figure out the secret of spiritual path cultivation.

Besides, the three princes didn't want to kill Lin Yan when they left, so why did he have nothing to do, of course, he was also afraid of the "mysterious old man", but Lin Tianqi couldn't think about these problems now, and he didn't bother to explain anything.

"But ......" Lin Tianqi was even more puzzled.

"It's nothing!" Chai Jiudao interrupted, obviously, he didn't intend to continue the topic, "You just do what I want, as long as you and the Lin family can handle this matter well, I promise that the city lord will try to help your Lin family in the future!"

"Okay, I promise that our Lin family will do our best to serve Counselor Chai and the city lord from now on!" Although Chai Jiudao did not allow Lin Yan to be killed, Lin Tianqi was very dissatisfied, but he could only nod helplessly.

After all, he also wanted to take the opportunity to improve the relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, although he couldn't change the royal family's opinion of the Lin family, but if he could get Liu Chengmin's "forgiveness", whether it was him or the Lin family, life in Qingluo City would be much better.

"You must listen to me, once you find something, you must report it to me as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......" Chai Jiudao did not forget to admonish, but his tone was a little threatening.

"Please rest assured, Counselor, I will send all my cronies to keep an eye on that kid day and night, as long as I find any abnormalities or secrets, I will definitely report it immediately!" Lin Tianqi swore that it could be said that he had completely surrendered to Chai Jiudao on behalf of the Lin family, but Lin Yan had become his name, or that he was going to betray Lin Yan completely.

"Very good, as long as the land deed of that shop is handed over to the Liu City Lord at that time, I also guarantee that there will be no more trouble for the other shops of the Lin family in the future. At this moment, Chai Jiudao really confessed to Lin Tianqi.

"What? Which shop is it?" Lin Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

"Of course it's Desheng Zhai, isn't it in Lin Tianxiao's hands now?"

"This ......" Lin Tianqi hesitated, and his face changed.

"What? Even Lin Tianxiao was expelled from the Lin family, which means that your Lin family gave up that shop, and you are still reluctant to give up on it? If that's the case, then I didn't say those words just now! I don't have to continue to talk nonsense here, and say goodbye!" Chai Jiudao's tone was very tough, and his face was extremely cold.

With that, he was about to get up.

"Please also ask Counselor Chai to stay!" Under Chai Jiudao's coercion and temptation, Lin Tianqi panicked, if he offended Chai Jiudao again this time, it would undoubtedly be a complete loss of the opportunity to improve relations with the City Lord's Mansion.

He immediately explained: "Counselor Chai misunderstood, Lin is not reluctant to give up that shop, as long as I can get the title deed from Lin Tianxiao, I will naturally give it with both hands!"

"That's right!" Chai Jiudao finally showed a satisfied smile, he knew that the purpose of his trip had been completely achieved.

However, after he left the Lin family, he said to himself coldly: "Do you really think that the royal family will let the city lord let your Lin family go, it's really naïve! If you let your Lin family know, the three princes will unswervingly suppress the Lin family, I don't know how you will feel!"

As Liu Chengmin's right-hand man, he naturally knows some of these things.

————

Three days passed in a flash.

Although Lin Yan has taken back that kind of IOU, in the past few days, the old man Lin Tianxiao has become more and more worried, first of all, for some reason, the chairs that were originally placed at the door of the shop have been destroyed, and from time to time there are groups of beggars who come here to make trouble, and even disturb the guests, causing fewer and fewer guests.

That's not all, because he and Lin Yan have been expelled from the Lin family, the Lin family has also stopped supplying, which makes the shop's operation even worse.
