Text Chapter 237 Sabre rattling
The Lin Mansion meeting hall was overcrowded.
The space that can carry 100 people is crowded with people.
The patriarch of the seventy-two road branches of the Lin clan gathered in the hall.
The patriarchs of these Lin tribe branches have turtles and turtles on the top and young children on the bottom.
Even when the Lin family worshiped their ancestors, they had never gathered so completely.
But on today's ordinary day, there is no absence.
The patriarchs of the seventy-two branches of the forest clan are lined up on the left and right.
And sitting on the left and right are Lin Yihong and Lin Yitu.
Lin Yihong and Lin Yitu are the initiators and one of the most powerful clan chiefs.
The two of them were dressed in brocade clothes, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat below, angry and majestic.
In particular, Lin Yihong on the left is more stylish.
Among the two brothers Lin Yihong and Lin Yitu, Lin Yihong is the leader.
On weekdays, it is Lin Yitu who comes out to play as a striker, and Lin Yihong is the controller who gives advice behind his back.
It can be said that Lin Yitu is only Lin Yihong's head.
The eldest lady Lin Ruoxian sat on the high platform, her beautiful eyes were full of anger, staring at Lin Yihong and Lin Yitu with an arrogant face, gritting her silver teeth, and taking the lead in her voice: "Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, early in the morning, you led the elders of the Lin family to besiege the Lin Mansion, what does this mean?" You smashed the gate of the Lin Mansion, which is equivalent to trespassing on the Lin Mansion, which is a great crime. ”
Lin Yitu smiled: "The eldest lady's words are wrong, although everyone is a side branch of the Lin Mansion, but they can't write two Lin characters in one stroke, this time when they go back to the Lin Mansion, it's the same as going home, what do you say trespassing?" Hehe, eldest miss, you are taking the patriarch of our Lin family's seventy-two road branch as an outsider. ”
This is said very trickily, secretly buttoning a big hat on the eldest lady's head, and it is impossible to take it off.
Lin Ruoxian frowned, Qianqianyu slapped her hand on the armrest of the chair, Huo Ran stood up, raised his head, walked to Lin Yitu, stared at his folded old face, and snorted arrogantly.
"The sixth uncle played a good trick of 'bringing the patriarch to order Ruoxian'. As the eldest lady of the Lin family, I want to gather the seventy-two branches of the Lin clan but can't get it. But under the order of the sixth uncle, the patriarch of the seventy-two road branch of the Lin clan was like a small soldier worshipping the general, and he was on call, and this ability amazed me. ”
"I really don't understand, when did the patriarch of the seventy-two road branch of the Lin clan become the puppet of the sixth uncle, or did he become a dog loyal to the head of the household?"
As soon as these words came out, those patriarchs were red in the face, like monkey butts, suffocating very much, and couldn't say a word.
Lin Yitu was also choked by Lin Ruoxian's words, and didn't know how to answer.
Lin Yihong, who was sitting on the other side, smiled coldly, suddenly stood up, and said sonorously: "The eldest lady's words are wrong, the patriarchs of the various branches of the Lin clan are opinion leaders, how can they be compared with dogs?" Isn't this gathering of people to save the Lin family and rescue the Lin family from the dire situation? ”
"Everyone worked hard for the Lin family, but the eldest lady used the metaphor of a cheap dog, didn't it chill everyone's loyalty to the Lin Mansion?"
When those patriarchs heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.
"The eldest lady is really not a good person, and she even compares us to dogs."
"I was still a little hesitant, but since I have become a cheap dog, do I still need mercy from my subordinates?"
"A woman is in charge, and she really has a vicious mouth."
……
Everyone gossiped and pointed the finger at Lin Ruoxian.
Lin Ruoxian secretly complained in her heart.
Just now, she patronized her mouth and was happy, wanting to give the patriarch of the seventy-two road branch of the Lin clan a face to shame and stifle their arrogance.
Originally, this plan was successful.
But I didn't expect that although Lin Yitu was stumped, he didn't stump the cunning and sinister Lin Yihong!
was said by this guy, and he not only resolved the embarrassment, but also kicked the ball back.
The spearhead of the crowd is directed at himself.
"What a mistake."
Lin Ruoxian was very sorry, frowned, and looked at Lin Yihong coldly, although she pretended to be calm, she was very flustered in her heart.
At the moment, she regretted it.
"Last night, I should have listened to Yan Qi's suggestion and defeated the patriarchs of the seventy-two branches of the Lin clan."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive."
Lin Ruoxian stared at Lin Yihong, thinking that this guy was really an old fox, who had been dormant for so long, and finally came out to bite.
Lin Ruoxian calmed down, adjusted her mentality, looked at Lin Yihong, and said coldly: "Fourth uncle, you brought all the patriarchs here today, is there anything else?" Yesterday, I already negotiated with you, so why do it again today? ”
"Hehe, negotiated?"
Lin Yihong pouted proudly: "Yesterday's matter can be regarded as a negotiation." But today, what I want to talk about is related to the life and death of the Lin people, and we must not prevaricate indiscriminately. ”
Lin Ruoxian's beautiful eyes went up and glanced at Lin Yihong: "The future of the Lin clan is very good, the career is thriving, and the reputation is quite good, why can't I see the aim of defeat?" Fourth uncle, your words are too exaggerated, right? ”
"Hmph, you said that these are all false, we might as well speak with facts."
Lin Yihong had a dark smile on his face.
Lin Ruoxian frowned: "Fourth uncle, please say, what are the facts?" ”
Lin Yihong waved his hand.
More than a dozen people in the back, carrying more than a dozen boxes of ledgers, were placed on the ground.
Lin Yihong pointed to these account books, his face was cold: "These account books are the facts of the decline of the Lin family, come here, open the account books, and read them out in public." ”
A few bookkeepers snatched it out, picked up the account book, and read it out loud in front of the elders of the Lin family's seventy-two road clan.
"Lin Family Ruyi Fang lost 50,000 taels of silver in the first quarter, Mingde Fang: lost 70,000 taels of silver in the first quarter: Honghai Fang, lost 100,000 taels in the first quarter; Qingfeng Fang lost 64,000 taels in the first quarter......"
Hearing Mr. Bookkeeper announce the account book to the public, all the patriarchs of the Lin branch were stunned.
"How can this be, the Lin family has lost so much."
"Oh my God, the Lin family is going to end, and none of the stores are profitable, this is only the data of the first quarter, what about the second quarter, what about the third quarter, in the long run, the Lin family will definitely be squeezed out of the list of the rich people in Jinling."
"Miss, you have to give us an explanation, the Lin family is in a good situation, why they lost so much money."
……
Lin Yihong raised his head with his chest straight, a pair of triangular eyes bloomed with a scorching light, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point at Lin Ruoxian, and scolded loudly: "Lin Ruoxian, did you hear it?" Only in Jinling, the Lin family's more than 30 stores have all lost money, and none of them are profitable, and as for the stores in Waifu, they are even more unbearable. ”
"Lin Ruoxian, when your father was alive, he founded the glory of the Lin family, and I am your father's right-hand man, and I have made great contributions to the glory of the Lin family."
"Your father died, and the Lin family business passed into your hands, but in a short period of time, the foundation of the Lin family was squandered by you and destroyed, what is the truth, don't you understand?"
Lin Ruoxian gritted her silver teeth and said word by word: "What kind of truth, Ruoxian doesn't understand, please ask the fourth uncle to teach me." ”
Lin Yihong pointed at Lin Ruoxian and said sharply: "The truth is: one soldier bears, and one bears will be bears." Lin Ruoxian, it's time for you to step down......"
