Chapter VII: Negative Damage
"Patriarch. Lin Bo walked to the middle of the hall, "Last year, I was traveling outside, and I accidentally met a few people who spread rumors and ruined the reputation of the patriarch, so I arrested them, and under interrogation, they insisted that the patriarch did not pay them back, and they still wanted to repay the debts, so they would do this kind of thing, I thought that my Lin family is a big family, and it is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, how can I owe them money?" I can't let these people ruin our family's reputation, and at the same time, in order not to damage our Lin family's reputation of benevolence, righteousness and generosity in the rivers and lakes, I will definitely bring them back to confront you, not only to find out the truth, but also to protect my family's reputation. β
"Is there anything else?" Lin Kang looked puzzled, not only Lin Kang, but also Lin Ao, Li Yue'e and even the other people in the hall were also puzzled, whispering.
"Bring them up. Lin Bo said to Tian Jue's group of people.
At this time, in full view of everyone, several people in the crowd escorted the two to the middle of the hall.
One of the two people who was escorted was three thousand, shaped like a withered tree, not human-looking, and with a frightened face.
The other was dressed in black, with a slender figure and a scholarly appearance.
"Patriarch, look, these two are the two people I caught earlier who ruined my family's reputation. Lin Bo walked up to the black-clothed scholar, pointed at him and said: "This person's name is Mu Han, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the ghost sword scholars, and he used to be a first-class killer in the famous killer organization 'Night Prison' in the rivers and lakes. β
Speaking of this, Lin Kang's eyes changed imperceptibly, and the game screen gave a close-up, and then switched to Lin Bo.
"This ghost sword scholar poured a few more cups of yellow soup in a restaurant in Boyun City that day, and actually robbed the storyteller's job, and talked about his glorious deeds, during which he said that he took a job from the head of the family and you gave him, saying that he was asking him to kill the third uncle, but you didn't give him money after the incident, and you still wanted to kill him, do you think it's ridiculous?" Lin Bo laughed as if he had heard a joke, and continued: " A killer who doesn't know his name and acts quietly and cautiously, but he talks about his identity and deeds in front of everyone, and he really feels sad for his IQ. β
Lin Bo said as he pointed at the ghost sword scholar and sneered.
"Nonsense!" Lin Ao rushed to Lin Bo, pointed at Lin Bo and shouted, "Lin Bo, today's clan meeting, you brought two outsiders here to slander my father, what do you mean?"
"Lin Ao, what are you doing here?" Lin Bo pretended to look at Lin Ao with a puzzled expression and said: "These two people have ruined the reputation of the patriarch, and I brought them back for the patriarch to deal with, is there anything wrong?"
"Even if these two people ruined my father's reputation, you can just execute them on the spot, why do you bring them to your house? What are your intentions in saying unfounded slander above the clan council?" Lin Ao glared at Lin Bodao.
"I said, I'm just for the reputation of the family, the patriarch is known for his benevolence and righteousness, are you still afraid of the slanderous words of the little ones?" Lin Bo asked rhetorically, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You, strong words. Lin Ao choked, his face flushed with anger.
"Patriarch, there are three thousand flowers for this. Lin Bo pointed to the ghost sword scholar next to the three thousand and said: "He said that you bought his unique poison 'Rongyuan Gu' from him, and when it was delivered, he took the opportunity to poison him, and wanted to eat black and black, if it weren't for his experience in the rivers and lakes, he would almost fall in love with your way, patriarch, I have already brought you people, you can watch it." β
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Lin Kang with different expressions.
"The slanderous words of a bunch of petty people, come and cut off their tongues, so that they may remember them for a long time. Lin Kang said with a light and breezy look.
"Wait. A middle-aged man suddenly stood up at the table on the right, and said with a gloomy face: "Let me ask them." β
"Fourth brother, what's the matter?" asked Li Yue'e with a frown.
"Patriarch, my father was killed, and there is still no trace of the bones, and there is no clue about the murderer, since this ghost sword scholar said that he killed my father, I should interrogate it, and ask the patriarch to give me some time. The middle-aged man said.
"The fourth brother also believes this person's nonsense? This is clearly a bitter trick used by Lin Bo, and I don't know where to find a few people who want to destroy the unity between our brothers. Li Yue'e glared at Lin Bodao.
"Limbo, what is your intention in doing this today? If you can't say it, don't blame me for being polite. Lin Ao said viciously.
"This kid clearly wants to cause internal turmoil in the family, and his intentions are sinister. A man on the left said.
"Such a blatant slander against the head of the family is punishable. Another chimed in.
"I suspect that this Limbo is a fake and should be arrested and interrogated. β
In the hall, there was a lot of noise. In the face of everyone's accusations, Limbo was undaunted.
"Shut up. Lin Kang's voice was soft, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
"Since this ghost sword scholar said that I hired him to kill the third uncle, I would like to ask, did you see me hire you with your own eyes?" Lin Kang looked directly at the ghost sword scholar and said.
"Don't hide it, do our killer business, only ask the target, don't ask the employer, as long as the money is in place, I won't think about anything and ask more. When I took the order to kill Lin Han, I also worked as usual, and went to collect the final payment after finishing the work, but I didn't know that this masked man wanted to kill me or kill me, fortunately, I had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I had already been prepared, although I was seriously injured by a sneak attack, but there was still a breath left, and in the haze, I saw a jade plaque hanging from the masked man's waist, which was engraved with a word, which was the word 'Lin'. "Then I survived and vowed revenge.
Thinking that the person I killed was also surnamed Lin, so I put the target on the Lin family in Fengyi City, and through my many investigations, I finally found out that the person who hired me was the current head of the Lin family, Lin Kang. β
"Just a jade plate?" Lin Kang smiled disdainfully.
"It is indeed difficult to conclude that a jade plate is you, but the jade plate of the masked man is the best ice jade, containing cold yuan, rare in the world, in order to find the enemy, I lurked in your house for nearly a year, and finally I saw the jade plate in the depths of my memory, and also saw you, in order to confirm my conjecture, I sneaked into your house many times, and finally determined that the employer was you. The ghost sword scholar said firmly.
"My house is heavily guarded, so you can come in?" Lin Ao said unconvinced.
"Boy, my ghost sword scholar has been in half my life, I have killed countless people, and the places I have been to are also very dangerous, I really don't look down on you in this Lin Mansion, are you blowing out my name?"
"You lie, you are so powerful, how can you still be caught by Limbo, you are fake, acting with Limbo and slandering my father. Lin Ao said angrily.
"Hmph, if I hadn't been hit by the 'Illusion Incense' that day, do you think he would have caught me?"
"Smack!"
In the hall, there was a sudden sound of cracking.
Everyone looked for the sound and saw that it was the middle-aged man whose father had been killed before, and at this time this person was trembling violently, one hand was tightly grasping the broken porcelain, the blood was not stopping, his eyes were bloody, and his face was sad and angry, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.
"Master of the house, can you show me the jade plate you are wearing? The middle-aged man said word by word, as if pleading, but his tone could not be refuted.
"Fifth brother, don't believe the words of others, this is obviously someone who wants to slander me and plot to harm our Lin family. Lin Kang still looked calm and comforted.
"I understand what the head of the family means, but please let me see the piece of Xuanbing jade that Grandpa gave you, I want to confirm it, the head of the family will not disagree, I am not afraid of the shadow, is the head of the family afraid of something?"
Lin Kang's eyes were stunned, and he heard the threat in his voice.
"Family master, what Lin Li said makes sense, he is not afraid of shadows, take out your jade card, and show this ghost sword scholar how about it, I, Lin Ru, can guarantee that if it weren't for you, I would definitely give you justice." The old man from before also looked at Lin Kang and said.
"Fourth uncle, what if you show him, if he bites on the jade plate he has seen, can it prove that my husband killed the third uncle?" Li Yue'e said angrily.
"I'm measured in this matter. Lin Ru said.
The eyes of everyone in the hall stared at Lin Kang, Lin Kang glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the ghost sword scholar.
I saw that he slowly took off the jade plate on his waist, with a complicated expression, and a servant took it into Lin Li's hand, Lin Li grabbed it, and walked to the ghost sword scholar.
"Let's see, if it's this piece, you have to look carefully. β
The ghost sword scholar took it in his hand, took a closer look at Lin Li, then looked at the jade plate, flipped it over, then showed a sneer, looked up at Lin Li again, and said for a long time: "It's this jade card, that's right." β
The hall was in an uproar!
"Okay, you Lin Bo, the ghost sword scholar on the rivers and lakes has only heard of his name, no one has ever seen him in real person, you find someone to pretend to be, and slander the head of the family here, you really deserve to die. Li Yue'e looked flustered and said angrily.
"People can pretend, jade cards can't pretend to be, although everyone in the Lin family has a jade card, but the head of the family has the Xuanbing jade card only he has, and only the brothers of the same generation know this jade card, and there are elders, because this jade card is exclusive to the head of the family, a symbol of status, if it weren't for the ghost sword scholar to tell me, I didn't know that the Lin family still had such a jade card. Limbo retorted.
"Lin Kang!"
The uproar in the hall was stopped by this thunderous sound, and it fell silent in an instant.
"What is your explanation?" Lin Li's tone gritted his teeth, and his whole body trembled, as if he was trying his best to suppress it.
"Fourth brother, don't believe the lies of others, the third uncle has been running around for many years for the family business, I admire him very much, how could I poison him. Lin Kang said righteously.
"Six years ago, the Lin family and the Yang family outside the city because of a Yuan stone mine conflict, swords against each other, in the end both sides lost, and finally agreed to Wuding belonging, Lin Bo's father Lin Xiao cultivated for the true yuan quadruple, at that time, looking at the entire Fengyi City, is also the top ten masters, he is on the Yang family genius Yang Li, is also the true yuan quadruple cultivation, before that, the two have participated in the martial arts meeting in the city, there have been confrontations, Lin Xiao won all, when we saw the Yang family sent this person to compete, thinking that the Yang family had no one, thinking that this battle would be won, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, Lin Xiao suddenly Zhenyuan died against himself, which shocked the whole family at the time, and later came to the truth after a post-mortem examination, Lin Xiao's whole body is as brittle as tissue paper, it is because of poisoning, but no matter how we verify it, we can't find out the poison in Lin Xiao. Lin Ru had already come to Hua Sanqian as he spoke, and everyone's eyes followed Lin Ru, looking at him and saying: "Later, a close friend of mine told me that there is a black stone gate in the side gate of the rivers and lakes, and they have a powerful poisonous Gu, which is like clear water, and there are Gu worms inside, which are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, colorless and tasteless. Ordinary people take it, the vitality in the body will be sucked up by the Gu worms, turned into a dry corpse, the martial artist will take it, corrode the muscles and veins, and the true yuan of the whole body will also be sucked up, and finally the body will explode and die, spend three thousand, what I said is not a sign of Rongyuan Gu poisoning?"
"Yes, yes, yes, old man, I am a disciple of the Black Stone Sect, what you said is right, it is really worthy of Jiang or the old spicy!"
"Have you ever sold Rong Yuan Gu to Lin Kang?" Lin Ru asked.
"I did sell it to others before, but it's only twice, old man, I don't know if someone buys Rongyuan Gu and uses it to harm your nephew, if I know, I won't sell it if I kill you. Hua Sanqian tried his best to quibble.
"Then how are you sure that the person who bought your Rongyuan Gu is Lin Kang?" Lin Ru turned around and pointed to Lin Kang on the first seat, at this time, Lin Kang's face was gloomy as water, staring at Hua Sanqian.
"To be honest, at first I didn't know that he sold my things, I was going to be abolished martial arts because I was molesting the female apprentices in the door, so I ran away secretly, and when I left, I only took two copies of Rongyuan Gu, thinking that I would buy a good price in the future and escape, after all, this thing was not available except for the Black Stone Gate, but at that time, I ran for my life again, and I didn't dare to sell this thing casually, and then I came to Fengyi City in disguise, and saw that your Lin family recruited medicine garden handymen, I used to grow herbal alchemy in Heishimen, and I knew a few hands of alchemy kung fu, so I was recruited by you and became a medicine garden handymanγ Once, I stole the herbs from the medicine garden and fed them to the Rongyuan Gu worm, I guess you don't know, this Rongyuan Gu worm is very delicate, if there is no host, you have to feed the herbs containing vitality every day. That day, when I was secretly feeding the herbs to the Gu worms, I was discovered by Lin Kang and asked me what I was doing? As soon as I was scared, I said everything, and my Rong Yuan Gu was also confiscated by him. Unexpectedly, this Lin Kang was very good to me later, and he was very respectful, which moved me. Later, he asked me if I still had Rong Yuan Gu, in order to continue to eat and drink here, I lied to him and said that this thing was difficult to make and it would take time, I thought that I could drag it for a day, it was a day, and then I really saw that he was impatient, so I gave him my last Rong Yuan Gu, he got the thing, his face changed again, and he encouraged me to do more. I don't know what he did when he took these things, and I didn't dare to ask, until today, I didn't know that Lin Kang actually killed your nephew Lin Xiao with Rongyuan Gu, I really damn it, I'm really sorry for you!"
Lin Ru glanced at Hua Sanqian lightly, and then turned his gaze to Lin Bo, "How have you survived all these years?"
"Fourth uncle, please also administer justice for my father and me!" As he spoke, Lin Bo suddenly knelt down.
"Fourth uncle, please also uphold justice for my father. Lin Li also walked over and knelt in front of Lin Ru.
Lin Ru's eyes were red, he patted the shoulders of the two, stood up straight, and turned to look at Lin Kang on the first seat.
"Lin Kang, what else do you have to say?"
"Hmph, fourth uncle, originally I thought that you were old and left you to live in your old age, but now, no wonder me. Lin Kang's expression became murderous.
"Come on, grab everyone in the Lin family. β
Suddenly, Tian Jue only felt a bloody shock on the game interface, and the names on the top of the game characters' heads turned red and green.
Countless government soldiers poured in at the door, and the group of people on the left side of the hall rushed to the people on the right, and the two sides fought.
Tian Jue was watching them tear and look at it in a daze, and this time he entered the battle mode, a little dazed, and saw that two government soldiers rushed towards him, and hurriedly responded to the battle.
Just then, a voice rang out in the game.
