The Lin family's mansion is magnificent, although it can't be compared with the big family in Yecheng, but in the realm of Qingyuan City, it is definitely one of the biggest forces.

The ancestors of the Lin family are a family of cultivators, who quit the cultivation world many years ago, abandoned martial arts and literature, and had a huge family capital, which can be described as more than 10,000 people under one person in Qingyuan City.

Lin Xiu stood in the council hall with an embarrassed face, at this time the council hall was already full of people, and at the top sat a tall middle-aged man with a gloomy face, he was Lin Guangyuan, the head of the Lin family, and Lin Xiu's father.

Dressed in brocade clothes, his eyes were slightly closed, listening to Lin Xiu's words below, anger spread all over his face.

"Dad, this is clearly looking down on our Lin family, not only openly insulting the child in public, and even bullying the child's maid, but also insulting you!"

Lin Xiu looked up at his father's expression and sneered in his heart. Dare to offend Lao Tzu, look at how I play you to death, I really don't know how thick the sky is.

Speaking of Lin Guangyuan's experience, it is also legendary, when he was young, he followed his father in the cultivation world, and he was decisive. The battle between cultivators was so thrilling, but at a young age, he had tried his best to turn the tide many times, making his own power famous in the cultivation world.

Not only did he cultivate to a high level and reach the middle grade of the Na Realm realm, but he also had excellent luck, and the Lin family had a lot of fate and suffered many disasters in the cultivation world. But they were all resolved one by one, there was no danger, and since he got older, he was tired of the disputes between cultivators, and came to Qingyuan City with his family.

As a literati, he started almost from scratch and established himself here. In just a few years, the Lin family has become the number one force in addition to the Shangshu Ling Mansion. It is even stronger than the family that has been stationed in Qingyuan City for a hundred years.

In his vision, he naturally knows what kind of virtue his son is, but because he is also old, he is almost like a merchant emperor in Qingyuan City, who is used to being powerful and lucky, so he naturally can't tolerate the bullying of others.

He didn't care if what his son said was true or not, he already had the idea of killing that foreign guy.

After all, in front of the public, it was the Lin family's face that was lost, and Lin Guangyuan had to stop this matter, otherwise others would really think that the Lin family was not as good as before.

Lin Guangyuan opened his eyes, coughed, and said: "My Lin family has been in Qingyuan City for more than ten years, and now it can be regarded as completely rooted here, and the children have grown up in recent years. ”

After the words fell, Lin Guangyuan glanced at Lin Xiu, and snorted coldly: "However, this son can't be successful, Wu Lai can't do it, Wen is a half-ass, if we want our Lin family to be prosperous, we must take necessary measures." ”

"Not everyone can step on our Lin family's head, although this is a small matter, we also have to do it as a big thing. Lin Xiu, this will also serve as a test for you to inherit the family business, and I will prepare a helper for you to eradicate this son. ”

"Thank you, father. Lin Xiu secretly laughed wildly.

"I'm going to go to Shangshuling Mansion today, although the people don't fight with the officials, but it's time for us to sit on his head. "Lin Guangyuan's ambition is quite big, he is already the number one force in Qingyuan City, but he still has the idea of fighting the government.

When he came to Shangshuling Mansion, he met Lord Shangshuling of Qingyuan City in the lobby, and after being polite at first, Lin Guangyuan said: "My lord, you should be very clear about the power of our Lin family. As the saying goes, I don't have anything to do to go to the Three Treasures Hall, and I want to cooperate with adults. ”

"Cooperation, what kind of cooperation method?" Shang Shuling is over fifty years old, with white sideburns and a square face. For what Lin Guangyuan said, he obviously didn't understand.

"There is a county attached to Qingyuan City, which is a three-regardless zone, which can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, and there is a lot of trouble. Lord Shang Shuling should be very troubled by this, and my Lin family can help adults and completely control this county. There are many bandits in the surrounding mountains, arrogant and domineering, it is a tumor of the Great Qi, if it can be eradicated, the adults are also a great achievement. ”

"I naturally hope to be able to exterminate them, but what the Lin family master said about cooperation should also be conditional, right?" Shang Shuling frowned slightly, looked at Lin Guangyuan, and said.

"Since it is a cooperative relationship, of course we have to be mutually beneficial, the Lin family helps the adults to exterminate the mountain bandits, and the adults also need to relax the rules for our Lin family and turn a blind eye. Lin Guangyuan said lightly.

Shang Shuling sneered in his heart, you think beautifully, do you kill people and set fires, and Lord Ben has to turn a blind eye?

Lin Guangyuan seemed to know what Shang Shuling was thinking at the moment, and said: "My lord, please rest assured, we will naturally not violate the bottom line of the adult, the mountain bandits are rampant, and the adult is very distressed." I believe that adults will not want to be a greater threat, which is beneficial and harmless for both of us. ”

Shang Shuling was completely able to understand what he meant, and the so-called greater threat was naturally the Lin family. It's not a negotiation of cooperation at all, it's a threat to yourself.

Lin Guangyuan glanced at him lightly and continued: "Only when there are contacts can it be regarded as cooperation. I can help adults, naturally it can't be the only one, my Lin family has developed in Qingyuan City so far, and it can be regarded as a local snake, and there are businesses and inns in Qingyuan City. How much salary can an adult get for being an official in the court?"

This is a blatant bribery of money, Lin Guangyuanyang is in disobedience, don't look at it and say that he wants to help Shang Shuling, but in fact, he has other ideas in his heart, which is nothing more than to overthrow Shang Shuling, so that the Lin family will be dominant in the future.

And looking at Lord Shang Shuling's face, he didn't look like a person who would accept bribes, but he hesitated for a moment and agreed to Lin Guangyuan.

The two have a cooperative relationship, Lin Guangyuan is secretly happy, everything is within his plan, and he has begun to yearn for the feeling of being a real emperor in this Qingyuan City.

Not long after Lin Guangyuan left, behind the screen in the lobby, several figures suddenly walked out.

Shang Shuling turned around and took a look, hurriedly bowed his hand, and said, "I have seen Su Gongzi, and the lower officials have already done what you instructed." ”

Su Yang smiled and said, "This person has a deep city and great ambitions, and he is the real cancer. Now it seems that it is reasonable for me to want to subvert the Lin family. ”

Shang Shuling's official position is not low, but in front of Su Yang, he still has to call himself a subordinate official, and said with a smile at this time: "Lin Guangyuan, the subordinate official has long been unable to see me, and he doesn't take me seriously at all on weekdays." This move can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, which is very happy. ”

Su Yang nodded and said, "Just follow his plan, you will go to him early tomorrow morning to exterminate the mountain bandits, and then do as I say." ”

"Xia Guan understands. ”

"The prince is coming, the lower official wants to entertain himself, and there is a big feast in the evening, and the lower official has ordered someone to prepare a guest room for you. Shang Shuling said.

"Good work. Su Yang nodded indifferently.

Lin Guangyuan's good luck seems to be coming to an end, Shang Shuling is secretly happy in his heart, if it weren't for the thorn of the Lin family, Qingyuan City, as a city closer to the imperial capital Yecheng, would definitely be more prosperous than now.
