Chapter 66 Three acres of land
"Shopkeeper, it's not good. Tianhao and Miss Bai Qi are going to fight!"
In the room, Lin Dong was sprinting towards the fifth thirty-sixth week, and a rapid knock on the door sounded.
Helplessly, Lin Dong got out of bed and opened the door. The sun set, and the afterglow of the door was turned away.
"What's going on?"
Lin Dong was a little puzzled. If Tianhao really wanted to fight with Bai Qi, he would not worry that Tianhao would suffer a loss. But this is Linji Inn. Although Tianhao realized during this period that he was no longer as afraid of him causing trouble as before, his habit of five or six years could not be changed in a short time. No matter how brave Tianhao is, he would not dare to fight with others under his nose.
"It's because of Dean Fu." Shou Zhugan explained as she walked: "Miss Bai Qi went out to get some breath. It happened that Dean Fu came in. It seemed that because of his worries, they didn't pay attention for a while. The two bumped into each other. Miss Bai Qi scolded Dean Fu. Dean Fu was so angry that he argued with her, so the two started arguing with her."
"The sixth brother couldn't persuade him. He was afraid that something would happen, so he asked me to come to the backyard to find the shopkeeper. Tianhao happened to practice martial arts in the yard. He heard that he would pass afterwards. As a result, seeing Dean Fu so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he started arguing with Miss Bai Qi..."
Lin Dong frowned. Bai Qi was becoming more and more disgusting. She would actually argue with an old man.
When the two entered the lobby, Wang Liuzhi hurriedly came forward.
"Where are people?" Lin Dong asked.
"Tianhao may be afraid of affecting the inn business, so he led Miss Bai Qi out with words." Wang Liuzhi explained.
Lin Dong laughed silently, good boys can play provocation!
"Okay, I'll go and have a look."
After leaving the lobby, I glanced at the left and right. It was dusk. There were not many passers-by and stalls on the street. Soon I found the three of them on a small open space more than ten meters away.
"Get out of the way, I will teach this boy who is not a teacher a lesson anyway." Bai Qi stared at Fu Chunjian standing in front of Tianhao coldly.
"Uncle Wushu?" Fu Chunjian's long white beard was so angry that he raised his head: "Even if I hit you just now, I apologized. Not only did you not hurt you, but I fell down. Why did you still call me blind? When did you have elders in your eyes?"
"Silent people are also considered elders?" Bai Qi snorted coldly.
"Your father is also a secular person." Behind him, Lin Dong suddenly replied.
"My father is my father, what does he have to do with me?" Bai Qi said unhappily.
Lin Dong was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he bowed to Fu Chunjian and smiled and said, "Director Fu, are you here to see Tianhao?"
Fu Chunjian smiled bitterly: "I came to Xilan City to do business. I saw it was late. I wanted to come over to see if Tianhao had returned to the ancient Huanzong and stayed at the same time. Who knew that this happened?"
"Forget it, go back!" Lin Dong greeted.
"You said forget it, forget it?" Bai Qi covered her face and said, "Don't think that you can be brothers to my father. It would be great to have a spiritual speed formation. That's just that you are lucky."
"Bai Qi, for Brother Bai's sake, I warn you, don't treat yourself as a person. Otherwise, if you really want to mess with someone, you can't afford the consequences." Lin Dong frowned and said, "Believe it or not, I'm the one who takes you as my disciple."
"You made it? Could it be that you still have any friendship with your master?" Bai Qi curled her lips as if she heard some huge joke, "A secular person can make an exception to accept disciples. If you tell me, do you believe it? If you really want to have such friendship with my master, why has your son become my nephew?"
"Zheng Master Xiao will come here in a few days, and I will ask him to explain to you." Lin Dong looked at Bai Qi indifferently. He could not bully the small by the big one, and Tianhao's strength should not be revealed. For Bai Jingtai's sake, he could only ask Xiao Tianchi to teach this young lady Bai a lesson.
Bai Qi scoffed at her. In her opinion, this was just a delaying strategy.
Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Lin Dong knew that she didn't believe it, and was too lazy to explain. He greeted Fu Chunjian and Tianhao again. Seeing that Bai Qi was about to stop him again, he said in a bad tone: "Also, if you want to lose your temper now, I will immediately shut down the spiritual speed formation."
"Are you threatening me?" Bai Qi clenched her teeth.
"It's not too stupid."
Lin Dong smiled indifferently, leaving Bai Qi, who was struggling extremely in a state of uncertainty, and took Fu Chunjian and the other two to return to the inn.
"Dad, she also knows the Spirit Speed Formation?" Tianhao asked in a low voice.
Lin Dong nodded: "Uncle Bai was anxious to get her to meet the standard of Gu Huanzong's disciple recruitment, so I helped."
Tianhao suddenly realized, no wonder this woman came to the inn. It turned out that she knew about the Spirit Speed Formation a few months ago.
After returning to the inn and asked Shou Zhugan to arrange a guest room for Fu Chunjian, Lin Dong brought Fu Chunjian into the backyard and sat down at the stone table. After a few words of politeness, Liu Hao came over to serve tea.
Remembering that Shou Zhugan said that Fu Chunjian was worried, Lin Dong couldn't help asking: "Director Fu, I just heard you come to Xilan City to do business. Has the matter been done?"
"Don't mention it, you'll get angry when you mention it." Fu Chunjian shook his head.
Lin Dong was happy. It was not that he had any gloating thoughts. Fu Chunjian had already moved into the inn and encountered something that could not be solved, so it was a hidden task.
After pondering for a while, after sorting out his thoughts, Lin Dong said, "Director Fu is highly respected in Xilan County, who can make you angry?"
Fu Chunjian snorted: "Isn't the county magistrate who is jealous of money?"
"It's very important?"
"A maid."
"A maid?" Lin Dong was confused.
"The Niu Dahuang in Niujiazhuang went up the mountain to collect herbs and broke his leg after half a year ago. The family lacked his pillar. The life that could still survive began to be difficult. Recently, I had to pay the land tax again, but I had no choice but to sell my little daughter to Niu Dahu's house in the same village as a maid. I agreed to have five taels of silver and signed the contract. Unexpectedly, the Niu Dahu turned around and forced the Niu Dahu to hand over three acres of land. The Niu Dahu was illiterate and thought that the contract was originally negotiated to buy a maid. I took Niu Dahu to the county government with confidence, but I was beaten home."
Fu Chunjian sighed: "Every time I send elementary school students home, I will encounter such a thing. To be honest, I don't dare to go out anymore."
Lin Dongran was silent. He was framed by Fu Zizhou, but fortunately the old beggar helped. Afterwards, he rented a house to raise an old beggar and allowed him to adopt orphans and widows. Until now, there are nearly a hundred orphans and widows in the house. There are so many beggars in a small city of Xilan. You can imagine what the situation in the village under his jurisdiction is.
Therefore, Lin Dong has always been reluctant to leave the city, and even went out to get some breathing, he just walked around the nearby streets. The main reason was that he didn't want to waste time. Like Fu Chunjian, he was afraid of encountering any unfair things, especially for encountering unfair things that he could not solve with his current strength.
There are too many unfair things in the world. If you don’t see it, you can pretend not to know it. When you see it, Lin Dong is afraid that he will ignore the consequences and keep it to the end.
"Dad, Dean, I'll go find that great man!" Tian Hao stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.
"It's useless. If you hurt him, he may compensate and change the contract back, but it will become worse afterwards. If you beat him to death, he has a son. You can't kill all his family, right? Even if you do this... his land, property, family wealth has not fallen into the hands of another big-name household." Fu Chunjian shook his head and said, "The real source is the parents' official, but killing officials is a great crime."
"Then you can't just let it go, right?" Tianhao retorted.
"Director Fu, three acres of land are only fifty or sixty taels of silver. It is impossible for a big Niu to pay more money to send Cheng Wencai. Cheng Wencai will not be bothering you, why is this happening?"
Lin Dongxin was puzzled. Fu Chunjian had countless disciples and was kind to others. His prestige in the entire Xilan County was unmatched. If it was related to thousands of taels of silver, Cheng Wencai was not afraid of being accused of being disrespectful to his master. He had to give Fu Chunjian the face for only a few dozen taels of silver.
"Didn't Manager Lin receive Cheng Wencai's invitation?"
"What invitation?" Lin Dong was puzzled.
"The cat that Cheng Wencai has been raised is dead. He has sent invitations to all merchants in Xilan City and buried the cat the day after tomorrow." Fu Chunjian said lightly.
Lin Dongran is stupid. Even a cat can send invitations when he dies. Don’t you think Jinzi is crazy!
No! What does this have to do with the maid’s affairs?
Lin Dong frowned and pondered for a moment. When Fu Chunjian was about to speak, he suddenly said, "Chen Wencai is leaving?"
Fu Chunjian was stunned: "How could you guess that Cheng Wen was leaving?"
Lin Dong was amused and crying: "Cheng Wencai even had to do something when he died, and even the dean of the dignified Qiushui Academy dared to offend him for dozens of taels of silver. Is it difficult to guess?"
Fu Chunjian knew that he had lost his composure and apologized: "Forgive me, Manager Lin."
Lin Dong shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "I think I can solve this matter."
"Shopkeeper Lin has a way?" Fu Chunjian suddenly stood up, his eyes a little unbelievable. In his memory, this shopkeeper Lin was honest and had no courage to make friends with a yamen runner, let alone any interactions with Cheng Wen.
Lin Dong nodded: "It's not 10% but 90% should be."
Fu Chunjian sighed: "I haven't seen each other for a few months. The expansion of Linji Inn has surprised me. I didn't expect that Manager Lin had dated Cheng Wen."
Lin Dong smiled and said, "I don't have much relationship with Cheng Wencai. The main reason is that the tiger often visits the inn. I shouldn't refuse this little busy. Cheng Wencai didn't give me an invitation, because the tiger said good things behind the scenes."
"Tiger?" Fu Chunjian was stunned and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that Manager Lin knew the Tiger, so it's easy to do. Only Cheng Wen can do the things that the Tiger can do is just one sentence."
"Tianhao, please accompany Dean Fu first, and I'll see if the tigress is still in the inn." Lin Dong stood up.
"By the way, Manager 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 Xilan County Magistrate is not only of great importance to the people of Xilan County. Before opening a branch in Linji Inn, he also had a considerable influence.
