Chapter 66: Three Acres of Land
"Shopkeeper, no, Tianhao and Miss Bai Qi are going to fight!"
In the room, Lin Dong was sprinting towards the fifth thirty-sixth week, when a hurried knock sounded.
Helplessly, Lin Dong got out of bed and opened the door, the sun was setting, and the afterglow that was turned away from the door of the room sprinkled in.
"What's going on?"
Lin Dong was a little puzzled in his heart, Tianhao really wanted to fight with Bai Qi, and he would not worry that Tianhao would suffer. But this is Lin Ji Inn, although Tianhao understands that he is no longer as afraid of him as he was before, but five or six years of habits can not be changed in a short time. No matter how bold Tianhao is, he will not dare to fight with others under his nose.
"It's because of Dean Fu." The thin bamboo pole explained as he walked: "Miss Bai Qi went out to breathe, and it happened that Dean Fu entered the door, as if she didn't pay attention for a while because she was preoccupied, and the two bumped into each other. Miss Bai Qi scolded Dean Fu, but Dean Fu was angry and reasoned with her, and the two argued. ”
"The sixth brother couldn't persuade me, for fear of causing trouble, so I asked me to come to the backyard to find the shopkeeper, Tianhao happened to be practicing in the yard, and I passed after hearing about it. As a result, seeing that Dean Fu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he quarreled with Miss Bai Qi......"
Lin Dong frowned, this Bai Qi is becoming more and more disagreeable, and he will actually have an argument with an old man.
The two entered the lobby, and Wang Liuxi hurriedly stepped forward.
"What about people?" Lin Dong asked.
"Tianhao may be afraid of affecting the inn's business, so he lured Miss Bai Qi out with words." Wang Liumole explained.
Lin Dong laughed dumbly, good boy, he can play the radical method!
"Alright, I'll take a look."
Out of the lobby, after a few glances left and right, it was dusk, there were not many passers-by and stalls on the street, and soon found that the three of them were in a small open space more than ten meters away.
"Get out of the way, whatever you say today you have to teach this uncle a lesson." Bai Qi stared coldly at Fu Chunjian, who was standing in front of Tianhao.
"Uncle Muwu?" Fu Chunjian's long white beard was so angry that he said: "Even if I hit you just now and apologize, not only did you not have any damage, but I fell, why do you still scold me for being blind?" When did you ever have an elder in your eyes? ”
"Worldly people are also elders?" Bai Qi snorted coldly.
"Your father is also a worldly man." Behind him, Lin Dong replied coldly.
"My dad is my dad, what does he have to do with me?" Bai Qi said unhappily.
Lin Dong was too lazy to take care of it, arched his hand towards Fu Chunjian, and said with a smile: "Dean Fu, are you here to see Tianhao?" ”
Fu Chunjian smiled bitterly: "I came to Xilan City to do business, seeing that it was late, I wanted to come over to see if Tianhao had returned to Guhuan Sect, and stayed by the way, who knew that this would happen." ”
"Forget it, let's go back!" Lin Dong greeted.
"You said forget it?" Bai Qi's face was covered with frost and said: "Don't think that you can call my father a brother, it's great to have a spiritual speed array, that's just your luck." ”
"Bai Qi, for the sake of Brother Bai's face, I warn you, don't think of yourself as a character. Otherwise, if you really want to provoke someone, you can't afford the consequences. Lin Dong frowned and said, "Believe it or not, Sect Master Xiao accepted you as an apprentice, and I facilitated it." ”
"You made it? Could it be that you still have any friendship with Master? Bai Qi pouted as if he had heard some big joke: "A secular person can let a sect master make an exception to accept disciples, say it, do you believe it?" If you really want to have this kind of friendship with my master, why did my son become my master and nephew? ”
"Sect Master Xiao should come over in a few days, and I will ask him to explain to you." Lin Dong looked at Bai Qi indifferently, he couldn't bully the small with the big, and Tianhao's strength should not be revealed, for the sake of Bai Jingtai's face, he could only ask Xiao Tianchi to teach this Miss Bai a lesson.
Bai Qi scoffed, in her opinion, this was just a delaying tactic.
Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Lin Dong knew that she didn't believe it, and he didn't bother to explain, so he said hello to Fu Chunjian and Tianhao again, and seeing that Bai Qi was about to stop him again, he said in an unkind tone: "Also, if you want to lose your temper now, I will immediately close the Spirit Speed Array." ”
"You threaten me?" Bai Qi's silver teeth clenched.
"It's not too stupid."
Lin Dong smiled indifferently, leaving Bai Qi, whose face was cloudy and extremely struggling, and took Fu Chunjian and the others back to the inn.
"Dad, she also knows about the Spirit Speed Array?" Tianhao asked in a low voice.
Lin Dong nodded: "Uncle Bai was anxious to let her meet the standard of accepting apprentices of the Guhuan Sect, so I helped out. ”
Tianhao suddenly thought, no wonder this woman would come to the inn, it turned out that she knew about the Spirit Speed Array a few months ago.
After returning to the inn and asking the thin bamboo pole to arrange a guest room for Fu Chunjian, Lin Dong introduced Fu Chunjian into the backyard and sat down at the stone table.
Remembering that the thin bamboo pole had said that Fu Chunjian was preoccupied, Lin Dong couldn't help asking: "Dean Fu, I heard you come to Xilan City to do business just now, is the matter done?" ”
"Don't mention it, it's a stomach." Fu Chunjian shook his head.
Lin Dong was happy in his heart, it wasn't that he had any schadenfreude thoughts, Fu Chunjian had already lived in the inn, and if he encountered something that couldn't be solved, it was a hidden task.
After pondering for a moment and sorting out his thoughts, Lin Dong spoke: "Dean Fu is highly respected in Xilan County, who can make you angry?" ”
Fu Chunjian snorted: "It's not the county master who sees money. ”
"Something very important?"
"A maid."
"A maid?" Lin Dong was puzzled.
"Niujiazhuang's cattle shed broke his leg half a year ago when he went up the mountain to collect medicine, and his family was missing his pillar, and it was difficult for him to survive. Recently, I have a pen to pay land tax, and I have no choice but to sell my little daughter to a big cattle family in the same village as a maid. said that it was five taels of silver, and the contract was signed, but I didn't expect this big cattle farmer to turn around and take the contract to force the cattle shed to hand over his family's three acres of land. The cow shed was illiterate, and thought that this contract was originally negotiated to buy a maid. Confidently pulled the big cow family to the county office, but he was beaten home with a board. ”
Fu Chunjian sighed: "Every time I send a young student home, I will encounter this kind of thing, to be honest, I don't dare to go out." ”
Lin Dong was silent, he was framed by Fu Zizhou at the beginning, but fortunately the old beggar helped. Afterwards, he rented a house to support the old beggar, and allowed him to adopt orphans and widows. Up to now, there are nearly 100 orphans and widows in the house. There are so many beggars in a small city of Sealand, and you can imagine the situation of the villages under its jurisdiction.
Therefore, Lin Dong has always been reluctant to go out of the city, and even when he goes out to breathe, he only walks around the nearby streets. Not wanting to waste time is the main reason, and like Fu Chunjian, he is afraid of encountering any injustices, especially those that cannot be solved with his current strength.
There are too many injustices in the world, you can pretend not to know if you don't see it, and if you see it, Lin Dong is afraid that he will take care of it regardless of the consequences.
"Dad, Dean, I'll go find that big cow!" Tianhao stood up suddenly, his eyes blazing with anger.
"It's useless, hurt him, he may lose the money and change the contract back, but it will get worse afterwards. Kill him, he still has a son, you can't kill his whole family, right? Even if you do...... His land and wealth have not yet fallen into the hands of another big cattle owner. Fu Chunjian shook his head and said: "The real source is the parent official, but killing the official is a great crime." ”
"Then you can't just leave it at that, right?" Tianhao retorted.
"Dean Fu, three acres of land is only fifty or sixty taels of silver, and it is impossible for a big Niu family to pay more silver to send Cheng Wencai. Cheng Wencai won't bother with you, how can this be? ”
Lin Dong was puzzled, Fu Chunjian had countless disciples, and he was kind to others, and his prestige in the entire Xilan County was unmatched. If it is related to a few thousand taels of silver, Cheng Wencai is not afraid of being infamous for not respecting a virtuous teacher, so he has to give Fu Chunjian this face for a matter of dozens of taels of silver.
"Didn't Shopkeeper Lin receive Cheng Wencai's invitation?"
"What invitation?" Lin Dong was puzzled.
"Cheng Wencai's cat died, and all the merchants in Sealand City were invited, and the cat was buried the day after tomorrow." Fu Chunjian said lightly.
Lin Dong was dumbfounded, even a dead cat can send an invitation, I don't want to go crazy with silver!
That's not right! What does this have to do with the maid's business?
Lin Dong frowned, pondered for a moment, and when Fu Chunjian was about to speak, he suddenly said, "Cheng Wencai is leaving?" ”
Fu Chunjian was stunned: "How could you guess that Cheng Wen was leaving?" ”
Lin Dong couldn't cry or laugh: "Cheng Wencai even has to make a fuss about a dead cat, and even the dean of Qiushui Academy dares to offend for dozens of taels of silver, is it very difficult to guess?" ”
Fu Chunjian knew that he was out of shape, and said apologetically: "Forgive the shopkeeper Lin." ”
Lin Dong shook his head, and after a slight groan, he spoke: "I think I should be able to solve this matter." ”
"Shopkeeper Lin has a way?" Fu Chunjian stood up suddenly, his eyes were a little incredulous, in his memory, this Lin shopkeeper was honest and honest, and he didn't even have the courage to make friends with a servant, let alone have any dealings with Cheng Wen.
Lin Dong nodded: "Ten percent can't be said, ninety percent should have." ”
Fu Chunjian sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I am surprised that the Lin Ji Inn has expanded several times, and I didn't expect that the shopkeeper Lin still has a relationship with Cheng Wencai." ”
Lin Dong said with a smile: "I don't have much to do with Cheng Wencai, the main thing is that the tigress often visits the customer store, and I shouldn't refuse this little favor." Cheng Wencai didn't give me an invitation, probably because the tigress said good things behind her back. ”
"Tigress?" Fu Chunjian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that Shopkeeper Lin knows the tigress, this is easy to do, what Cheng Wen can do, the tigress is just a sentence." ”
"Tianhao, you accompany Dean Fu first, and I'll go to see if the tigress is still in the inn." Lin Dong got up.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Lin ......" Fu Chunjian hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "Can you find a way to find out who will succeed you?" ”
Lin Dong nodded, who is the new county magistrate of Xilan County, not only for the people of Xilan County. Before Lin Kee Inn opened a branch, it also had a lot of influence.
