Chapter 155 - Family Conflicts
Lin Yuan is already famous in Qianxing Town, not only is he the number one master among the young generation of the four great families, but many people think that even if he is the predecessor of the time-honored brand, he can be regarded as the number one person.
After all, when the Lin family's time happened, almost everyone knew Lin Yuan's strength, and it was Lin Yuan who saved Lin Jiazhuang, but Lin Yuan's appearance, they still didn't know very well, plus this was the periphery of Qianxing Town, although they were well-informed, they didn't pay special attention to Lin Yuan.
"Dugu family master, this is Lin Yuan. Lin Jianxin was straightforward and said directly.
Duguba's expression moved slightly, although he didn't see Lin Yuan's strength with his own eyes, he still knew about Lin Yuan's saving Lin Jiazhuang by himself.
Although Lin Jian is a master of the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, as long as he is not blind, he knows that there is not a slight difference between him and Lin Yuan.
Dugu Ba turned his gaze in surprise and looked at it seriously.
After a while, Duguba's face changed slightly, because in his eyes, Lin Yuan was like an unfathomable pool of well water, and he couldn't see it at all.
Dugu Ba's eyes suddenly shot out a fine light, and his heart also trembled, he was a martial artist in the ninefold realm of the day after tomorrow, although he was not as good as Lin Qingming, but his own strength was not to be underestimated, and at this time, he couldn't even see through his cultivation.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's really a hero out of a young man, I didn't expect even the old man to look away." ”
Lin Jian smiled and said, "Uncle Dugu, since we are already here, you can also tell me what the situation is at the moment." ”
The smile on Dugu Ba's face stiffened slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "This matter is a long story, and it is also the misfortune of my Dugu family, such a thing can happen."
Lin Ying and the others were slightly shocked in their hearts, and they vaguely felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as they imagined.
Dugu Ba waved his sleeves and said loudly suddenly: "Set up a banquet for me, I want to give you virtuous nephews and nephews to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”
That night, a banquet was held in the Dugu family, not only the core children of the family scattered all over the country were beckoned, but even some important stewards of the family returned to the manor for this reason.
Dugu Ba made it clear that he wanted to use the ability of Lin Ying and others to suppress the clansmen who were about to move at the moment.
Although Lin Ying and the three of them had already known the old man's purpose, the old man's purpose was exactly in line with their intention to come here, so even Lin Yuan, who was reluctant to show his face, was the only one who sat on top of the chief and was as smiling as they were.
On the contrary, Lin Jian was quite suitable for this kind of occasion and dealt with it decently, which made people feel good.
At the banquet, Dugu Ba solemnly introduced Lin Ying, Lin Jian and Lin Yuan, and when everyone heard that this actually included two martial artists of the Acquired Ninefold Realm, everyone's face showed a smile of surprise.
During this time, they were forced to be embarrassed by the Zhou family, and their hearts were like pressing a boulder, and it was not until this moment that they relaxed.
The acquired ninefold masters, for them, are like an unattainable mountain, bringing them unimaginable pressure.
It's just that not everyone showed ecstatic expressions, but the faces of several Dugu family members above the second seat were filled with a strange look, and there was a little dazed and panicked among them.
Dugu Ba's gaze glanced at them, and said loudly: "Second Elder, please go to the Zhou family tomorrow and tell them that I have already thought about it, the family's shop in the town, and the surrounding farmland. It is the root of our Dugu family, no matter how much money they pay, we will not sell it. ”
On the second seat, an old man slowly stood up, his age was similar to Dugu Ba, his face was vaguely similar, but there were a pair of triangular eyes on his face, and his eyes were as cold as poisonous snakes.
"The head of the family, the Zhou family is also very kind, and the fields around our village are just that. But now the business of the shops in the town is not good, and if you open for a day, you will lose a day, so why not cash out. ”
Dugu Ba snorted coldly and said, "Second Elder, don't you really know why the shops in the town are losing money?" He paused and sighed: "Those shops are all century-old brands inherited by the first generation of Dugu family elders, no matter what, they can't be lost from my hands." ”
On the second seat stood a young man, about the same age as the man, wrapped in black. This stood up, and suddenly brought a fierce momentum.
He took a step forward and said, "Master, although the shop at home is a time-honored brand, since it is not well managed, you might as well sell it temporarily, and when you have money in the future, can you still buy it?" ”
Dugu Ba glared at him angrily and finally stood up.
Under his angry gaze, everyone in the table bowed their heads, even the old man in the first place.
Dugu Ba suddenly sighed and said, "I have something to say to a few elders, so let's leave first." ”
There was a commotion at the table, but a moment later, except for the chairman and some of the people in the second table, they were all gone.
Lin Jian and Lin Ying were about to leave, but they were firmly held down by Dugu Ba, he shook his head slightly, and everyone immediately understood that there must be an inside story.
After Dugu Ba waited for everyone to leave, he said: "Second Elder, Third Elder, I know that you want me as the head of the family. But even so, you shouldn't rely on outsiders to get your family's property. ”
The old man raised his head suddenly, a pair of triangular eyes were cold, he sneered twice, and said, "Family master, since you say this, do you want to break with me completely?"
Dugu Ba sighed and said, "Several century-old brands in the family in the city are in your hands, and they are actually losing money year after year, but you want Zhuangzi to subsidize your family." For the sake of my kindred, I have been forbearing. But now you have intensified, and you have even joined forces with the Zhou family, and used the power of the Zhou family to coerce me. Now that it's come to this, can I endure it again and again?"
Lin Yuan and the others suddenly realized, no wonder the Dugu family, with a foundation of more than 100 years, could not find the master of the Nine Layers of the Day After Tomorrow here to help, but asked Lin Jiazhuang to take action.
Moreover, the Zhou family is just an emerging family, and it has such a huge appetite, and it suddenly set its sights on the Dugu family, which has been inherited for a hundred years.
All these unreasonable places have been explained in the most haode at this moment.
It is difficult to prevent internal thieves, since they are mixed with the relatives of the Dugu family, then the rest of the family is naturally not easy to meddle at will.
Lin Jian shook his head slightly, and said suddenly: "Uncle Dugu, there is something I want to ask for advice below." ”
The second elder's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but since he knew that Lin Jian was Lin Qingming's son, and Lin Qingming was a martial artist at the peak of the Nine Heavens of the Acquired Heaven, he didn't dare to be rude in front of him no matter what. I had to clench my fists from afar and said, "Lin Jianxian's nephew, please ask." ”
Lin Jian picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then said, "Second Elder, if I'm not mistaken, you and the Zhou family should have made an agreement, as long as the shop and the land are really under the name of the Zhou family, then they will be returned to you in the future, right?"
The second elder hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. But looking at him like this, he chose to acquiesce.
Patriarch Lin sighed and said, "Second Elder, you are also a wise man. Do you really believe the words of the Zhou family, or do you have some guarantee that they will fulfill their promise after they have obtained the shop and the land?"
Lin Yuan and Lin Ying glanced at each other, and the two of them sighed secretly in their hearts at the same time.
All of their minds were devoted to cultivation, and the rest of the aspects were inevitably a little unsatisfactory.
Lin Jian can find out the entanglement of the problem like a fire and express it in a certain way, but they can only be Lin Jian's strong backing.
