Chapter 6 Watching the Theater
The game interface went black, and after three days of display, the interface was restored.
Tian Jue's game character still stays in place, followed by Hua Sanqian.
Following the mission navigation, Tian Jue came to the Dongcheng District of Fengyi City, the area where the Lin family's compound is located, where the mountains are high and dense, and it is extremely secluded.
The time in the game is night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is an owl crying in the forest, which is very terrifying.
In the woods, Tian Jue found Lin Bo, only to see dozens of people standing behind him, all dressed as people from the rivers and lakes.
"Everyone is here, tonight is the annual family meeting of the Lin Mansion, everyone come with me and go to the Lin Mansion. Limbo said to the crowd.
No one spoke, silently following behind Lin Bo, who was the first to start.
The group came to the gate of the Lin Mansion, the gate was towering, the wall was high, and it looked like a rich family's house.
"Who? This is the private territory of the Lin Mansion, hurry up and leave. The two gatekeepers in front of the gate asked loudly when they saw a group of people standing in front of the door.
"Hurry up and spread the word, just say that I, Lin Bo, is coming back to participate in the family meeting. Limbo stepped forward and commanded the janitor.
The two guardsmen looked at each other when they heard this, and then looked at Lin Bo.
"Wait here, I'll pass it on. The two apparently knew Limbo.
Soon, the messenger ran out.
"The family invited Young Master Lin Bo to go in, and the others waited outside the house. ”
"These are my guests, and according to the clan rules, they can go with me. Limbaugh said.
The janitor hesitated, and Lin Bo pushed him away directly and led everyone into the gate.
Entering the house, the group walked through the door and porch under the leadership of Lin Bo, and walked for a while before finally coming to the main hall of the Lin Mansion.
During the whole process, the game characters cannot be controlled, and they force themselves into the story mode.
As soon as Lin Bo and his party entered the hall, all the people sitting at the tables on both sides of the hall stood up. looked at Lin Bo and was silent.
On the first seat of the main hall, there is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a majestic appearance, dressed in a black dress, his eyes are like electricity, and his momentum is extraordinary, it is Lin Kang, the patriarch of the Lin family.
Limbaugh stepped forward to the underside of the man, and the rest of the group stood silently in the doorway.
"Lin Bo, outsiders are not allowed to participate in the family association, have you forgotten?" Standing next to the first man stood a handsome young man the size of Lin Bo, who stepped forward and asked Lin Bo loudly.
"The junior Lin Bo has seen the patriarch. Lin Bo ignored the young man who spoke, and said lightly to the man in the first seat, neither kneeling on the ground, but also giving his hands.
"Limbo, what do you want to do when you ran away from home three years ago and are back now?" the young man asked condescendingly as he walked up the steps again.
"Naturally, it is to go out to travel, as a martial arts person, going out to experience is the way to go, staying at home to be a blessing, just sitting in the well and watching the sky, the frog at the bottom of the well, how can you be promoted to the peak of martial arts?" Lin Bo said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hmph!" The young man snorted coldly: "Go out to practice, it sounds good, do you know that your mother became depressed because of your departure, and finally passed away, and she failed to keep filial piety until she died.
The young man asked loudly, and the others in the hall watched quietly, and that Lin Kang also looked at Lin Bo and remained silent.
"It's my own business, but you, I haven't spoken, you young patriarch is so majestic!" Lin Bo sneered.
"You're empty-hearted. The boy said triumphantly.
"Okay, Ao'er, today is the family clan meeting, don't discuss these trivial matters, Lin Bo's affairs will be discussed by the clan. Lin Kang, the man in the first seat, stopped him, and then said, "Okay, Lin Bo, where have you been in the past three years? Why can't the family find you?"
"When I go out to travel, naturally the farther away the better, I also came back recently, thinking that today is the family meeting, as a member of the Lin family, I can't help but participate, so I came back. Lin Bo said.
"In that case, find a place to sit yourself. Lin Kang said.
Lin Bo turned around and looked around, and found that there was no place to sit on the tables on both sides, so he walked to the door by himself, at this time, there was already a person who found a small stool, Lin Bo did not dislike it, so he sat at the end of the table on the side, and dozens of people who followed him consciously stood behind him.
Tian Jue's game characters also stood together.
Lin Bo smiled and greeted a person in the family beside him, who smiled awkwardly and hurriedly got up and moved the stool away from Lin Bo.
"Alright. Lin Kang coughed and said, "The person has arrived, let's continue the meeting." ”
Lin Kang straightened his sleeves for a long time, and a beautiful woman beside him pushed down the cup of tea in front of Lin Kang as if she had been instructed. Lin Kang picked up the teacup, picked up the lid, blew the tea leaves in the cup, took a sip, with a comfortable expression, and then put down the teacup again, and continued.
"I, Lin Kangchu, is in charge of the door, the family in the Xinde clan helps, although it has not made contributions, but it is also stable, it is really embarrassing, today's clan meeting, I hope that the elders in the clan, brothers and all the guests will give direct advice, speak freely, I will accept the teachings with an open mind, so that the Lin family will be prosperous and strong. ”
Everyone in the hall, Lin Kang's left-hand table was sitting precariously, and they all looked at him, listening carefully. And the people at the table on his right are all preoccupied.
"The head of the family is serious, who doesn't know that since the head of the family took office, he has done several major things one after another, not to mention, just say a few mines in the east of the city, when the old family owner was in power, the original mines were the disputed places between our Lin Mansion and Xiang Fu, so they bothered to speak, and they also moved their hands and feet, but after Lin Kang's head of the family took office, he only saw the side of the head of the family, and after talking once, he resolved the dispute and collected those mines in the house, which shows the prestige of the head of the family. A man on the left stood up and said respectfully and praisefully.
"That's right, that's right!"
The crowd on the left side echoed for a while.
"That's it. Another man on the left stood up, bowed to Lin Kang, and then praised: "In the mountains to the west." Baicao Valley', originally the Li family and my Lin Mansion in the city jointly developed the place, because of the close to the Li family, and at the same time because of the support of the City Lord's Mansion, after the development of the want to occupy for himself, the family owner is also alone to come to the door theory, not only let the Li family dispel the idea of monopolizing the Baicao Valley, but also gave us all their original share, it can be said to expand our Lin Mansion industrial territory, this is a greater achievement than the family industry to increase profits!"
"Yes, yes. The crowd on the left side echoed again, and everyone spoke very loudly, as if they were afraid that their voices would not be heard by the head of the house.
The person on the right is silent, quietly watching the person opposite perform.
The people on the left side are more and more excited, the more they talk, the more energetic, the louder and louder, one after another get up and praise constantly, as if they are afraid that they will lag behind, like a "relay", they generally say words praising Lin Kang's achievements after taking the position, all of them are sloppy words, saying that Lin Kang and the beautiful women around him are smiling, red faces, and say "ashamed, ashamed".
"The old man has something to say. ”
Just as everyone on the left was clapping their ass, suddenly an old man's voice sounded, not loud, but as if it was extremely majestic, so that the noisy people in the hall suddenly quieted down, silent.
Everyone looked for prestige, only to see an old man with a white beard standing up on the innermost seat of the table on Lin Kang's right.
"Fourth Uncle, you don't have to stand up and speak, hurry up, help Fourth Uncle sit down. When Lin Kang saw the old man, he hurriedly pointed to the people beside the old man and said.
The people around the old man also hurriedly got up and helped the old man sit down, the old man's body trembled, and it was estimated that he was over sixty years old, but he still sat down.
"What do you have to say from Fourth Uncle?" Lin Kang asked respectfully.
"A few days ago, I received some report letters, all of which reported that some stewards in the family used their power for personal gain, filled their pockets, and stole the family's things, I was afraid that the interests of the family would be damaged, so I sent someone to investigate the matter.
"Really?" Lin Kang looked puzzled, looked at the beautiful woman beside him, and asked, "Yue'e, you are now the new head of the family, do you know these things?"
The beautiful woman looked calm and said: "Fourth Uncle is not too worried, I think you also know that half a year ago, the family began to carry out system innovation, you also agree, it is bound to touch the interests of some old schools in the family, if these people have the intention to sabotage the family system innovation, it is inevitable to use some villain means, the fourth uncle, as the former head of the family, must have experienced more things than me, such things must have been encountered, fourth uncle rest assured, starting tomorrow, I, Li Yue'e, will thoroughly investigate this matter and will not tolerate it." ”
"Yue'e doesn't know, according to the evidence I have, it can indeed prove that these people took advantage of the system reform and mismanagement to enrich their own pockets, and did not wronged them, just because the family is in the process of system reform, they cannot be tolerated, I suggest that these people be severely punished to set an example. The old man's voice was not loud, but his words were loud.
"Does Fourth Uncle know who they are?" asked Li Yue'e.
"I have a list here for the patriarch to see. The old man took out a booklet from his arms, and someone soon took it and sent it to Lin Kang.
"Yue, thoroughly check the people on the list, if it is true, you will never spare it!" Lin Kang glanced at the list, handed it to Li Yue, and said without doubt.
"Yue'e, you have the heart to do your part for the prosperity of the family, I can see it, but everything will be steady and gradual, you can't rush for a while, your family has been in business for generations, and it has indeed taken a lot of effort to cultivate a lot of talents, but the same is true of my Lin family, as the head of the Lin family, you should consider the overall situation, you can't reuse it because you know it, and put it aside if you don't understand it, that will be detached, not to mention, you are now the wife of the Lin family, and you must know how to unite people's hearts. The old man seemed to be soft-spoken and soft-spoken, but when he said it in front of so many people, there was no warning meaning, Li Yue'e's role was red and white, and she didn't dare to attack in front of her elders, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, Yue'e has been taught." ”
"The fourth uncle has been in charge of the family business for a lifetime, and he has rich experience, and Yue'e will definitely benefit a lot if she can get the fourth uncle's professor. Lin Kang's wife was said that she didn't look angry at all, but looked humbly and educated, and comforted Li Yue'e.
After Lin Kang finished speaking, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Second brother, I also have something to say. ”
At this moment, someone spoke, breaking the silence, and a middle-aged man beside the old man stood up.
"Third brother, you say!" Lin Kang looked at the man and said gently.
"Half a year ago, in the intra-clan competition of the younger generation of the family, my son Lin Xuan overwhelmed everyone and won the first place, according to the usual practice, in addition to being able to get the first place in the ten 'Forging Pills' reward, the monthly salary provided by the family to the younger generation of martial artists for cultivation will also be doubled, but now half a year has passed, not to mention the reward, even the monthly salary has been halved, I want to know, why is this?" The man was obviously a straight man, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Yes, is this the case?" Lin Kang was puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Li Yue'e again.
Li Yue'e blushed, and then explained: "Third brother, don't be angry, I am also to blame for this matter, I have been busy with the reform of the family system recently, so I forgot about this matter, you can rest assured, I will handle this matter as soon as possible." ”
"The cultivation of the younger generation of the family is related to the future of the family, and this matter cannot be neglected. The old man interjected again.
"The lesson of the fourth uncle is that Yue'e, there must be no such thing in the future. Lin Kang looked at Li Yue'e reproachfully and said.
"Yes. Li Yue'e lowered her head and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a clan meeting, not a clan meeting, everyone try to say something about the development of the family, and don't talk about other trivial matters. Lin Kang said this, obviously dissatisfied with what the man said just now, after all, his wife's face was missing, and at the same time, his own face was dull.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent again, and no one spoke.
After a long time, Lin Bo, who had been sitting quietly and drinking tea, finally stood up and slowly walked to the center of the hall.
Everyone in the hall looked at Lin Bo with a puzzled expression, and a text bubble appeared above everyone's head.
"Didn't the Ghost Sword Scholar say that he had already killed Lin Bo? Why is he back now? Looking at his bearing, it seems that his strength has recovered. Lin Kang thought.
"What does this waste want to do?" thought Lin Ao, the young man beside Lin Kang.
"Lin Bo's parents are dead, what is he doing when he comes back?"
"I heard that this person was originally a good seedling of martial arts, he could read and write at the age of six, practice the heart method at the age of seven, and break the true yuan at the age of eight, he was originally the key training object of the family, but it is a pity that he participated in the family competition at the age of fourteen, and when he competed with others, he suddenly became a waste person, and a dazzling new star fell directly from the clouds to the mortal dust, what a pity!"
"Alas, my father was originally the recognized heir to the patriarch in the clan, but unfortunately he died in the war outside the family, and his son also fell into this fate, and his mother also died of depression, and the family was ruined, which is really pitiful!"
Text bubbles popped up on the heads of everyone on the right, each with their own ideas, and the game screen was also given close-ups one by one, apparently to let the player understand the plot.
"Lin Bo, what do you want to say?" Lin Kang asked as he broke everyone's thoughts.
Everyone in the hall also looked at Lin Bo.
