Chapter 48: Assassination

"Did anything happen to the family business?"

Lin Hai's sudden question made the concierge who was following behind him confused. How could he know the things in the books? He just replied with a smile:

"I've never heard Uncle Wang mention it. Besides, I've only been out for half a day, so how can anything happen?"

Maybe he remembered something, and the servant asked again: "What did the young master bring when he came back? If the master doesn't come back today, I will say hello to Uncle Wang and make arrangements early."

Lin Hai nodded: "That's right. I'll ask Uncle Wang. After you go down, pack your things and prepare to leave the city with our family. There will be a disaster in Youzhou soon. Call Uncle Wang."

The servants did not dare to ask any more questions and retreated nervously. Lin Hai sat alone in the middle hall, drinking tea as usual and chatting with the servants in the mansion. After a while, Uncle Wang, who got the news, hurried over and said something

Before the young master said anything else, Lin Hai had already put down the tea cup and ordered one by one:

"Yes, something is going to happen in Youzhou. Immediately close all the shops under the Lin family's name, gather the long-term workers, and check the character of those who are willing to go with you. Take away all the gold, silver, and soft goods, and put those who can't take away with you.

Hidden in the cellar, you can come back and get it in case something happens in the future. You will coordinate all the arrangements in the house. If you have anything to do, just ask the Town Secretary. I have already said hello. You can bear it by yourself.

Don't go there until there's a big disaster. If you have anything else to ask, ask it as soon as possible and then go down and take care of it."

Uncle Wang reluctantly collected his thoughts and asked, "Master, how are they doing now?"

Lin Hai was quite satisfied with his question. This old man who had followed Lin Qinghe for many years, when he heard about such important matters of life and death, the first thing he thought of was not just himself, but asking about his master's safety. Lin Hai straightened his sitting posture.

After pondering for a while, I decided to focus on reassuring people:

"I have arranged for you to go out a long time ago. You just asked me to come back because you were thinking about your family. I asked you to pack up and leave the city quickly."

"Is the young master's news really safe?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Will you come back later?"

"You should be able to get it back, so be sure to hide your things and only take what you can take away."

"Old slave, go down and prepare now, it will take two days at most..."

The Lin family has a big business, and two days is already an incredible speed for such a giant, but Lin Hai shook his head:

"At most, no one should be left in the house until this time tomorrow."

Uncle Wang made a sad face: "But the Lin family tree is very windy. If there is not enough manpower to protect it, I am afraid..."

"In terms of security, you have the protection of the Town and Fu Department. What you want to do is to prevent civil strife among your own people, so the guards are expensive and not expensive. Those who are unfamiliar and have bad character should be paid enough to persuade them to leave, so as not to

I will regret it later."

Lin Hai waved to Uncle Wang to go down and do his work. The latter just walked to the door and remembered something and added:

"Don't touch my room or anything here. Dad told me that I have other things to do. I'll leave later than you."

When Uncle Wang heard this, he turned around and said with some thought: "Do you need some manpower if the young master stays? The old slave's family..."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry about this little thing."

Lin Hai declined with a smile, and the old man nodded clearly. Which family in China has been passed down for hundreds of years without some private taboos that are unknown to outsiders? The old man was older and had seen a lot, so he stopped insisting and nodded.

Arrange evacuation matters from the mansion.

Lin Hai was the only one left in the main hall. He closed his eyes gently, and the sword energy in his body flowed like water, spreading silently to every corner of the Lin Mansion.

The renovation of the Lin family homestead was under the guidance of an expert. It is located in the main hall that welcomes guests for meals, which connects the Feng Shui of all parts of the house. If an expert is here to take charge, he can single-handedly coordinate the yin and yang Feng Shui of the house to balance it.

Invisible disasters, disasters and other things.

Regarding the authenticity of this statement, Lin Hai still doesn't know if the Feng Shui master is exaggerating. There is only one thing he can be sure of, that is, he is sitting in the middle hall and can indeed use Qi to communicate with the people buried in the four corners of the house.

Chalcedony King Statue.

Time passed like this, and at night, the Lin family had lost most of its popularity. The butler, Uncle Wang, was the right-hand man who followed Lin Qinghe to the shopping mall. He retreated to the house to take care of things when he was old. In the hearts of many servants, the majesty of this old man was

Sometimes it was even worse than the young master Lin Hai, so everything he was told was carried out with all his strength. In only half a day, there were not many people left in the Lin family.

At dinner in the evening, Lin Hai specially called all the stewards in the mansion to the central hall, and it was considered as a farewell to everyone who had been working together for many years. Because there were still many things in the mansion that had not been sorted out, this farewell banquet was also very restrained and rarely attended.

Someone is drunk.

Finally, not long after, Uncle Wang, who was about to rest, put on a coat and came over, telling him that there was a group of people from Zhenfusi outside the house who wanted to see Lin Hai.

Lin Hai, who wished he could spend all his time on the refining sword array, asked without even opening his eyes: "What are they doing to come to me?"

"You said you still had a disciple there during the day. Chief Yan was worried that he would come back alone, so he sent someone to escort him."

Uncle Wang's face looked a little strange, and Lin Hai opened his eyes:

"Then just bring the person here, why do you need to communicate?"

"The old slave also said the same thing. It's just that all the officials are loyal to their duties and insist on bringing the person to you before they go back. This...even the old slave refuses to accept the red seal."

Lin Hai nodded understandingly and said with a smile: "Well, just bring them to the central hall to meet me. Remember that the red envelope will be thicker later, but it will be less than one portion."

Uncle Wang didn't know what he meant by these words, but Lin Hai closed his eyes again, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Soon, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion. The young man in the lead was seen by Lin Hai during the day. He seemed to be one of Yan Chixia's deputies. I really can't remember his name.

"The lower official was entrusted by the chief of the department to escort Mr. Lin's students here. Due to the chief's instructions, he did not dare to neglect. He had to see Mr. Lin face to face before handing over with confidence."

The deputy stepped forward and bowed with his hands raised, and in his speech there was a bit of Yan Chixia's upright demeanor, which made people feel good about him. Lin Hai also rarely stood up from his seat.

After an afternoon of training, his injuries were still not fully healed, but his behavior was no different from that of an ordinary person, and he said with a smile on his face:

"Thank you for your hard work, sir. Lin has prepared some small gifts for you in private, as a token of gratitude for your hard work."

Uncle Wang presented the red seal at the right time, and the officers and soldiers accepted it with smiles one by one. Even the deputy who behaved very aboveboard did not say anything and accepted the bribe very calmly, because his status was different from other soldiers.

Therefore, Lin Hai personally handed over his red envelope.

"I have already talked about this matter with Brother Yan during the day. Since you all came here all night, I must have a lot of things going on in the company, right?"

Lin Hai handed over the red envelope and asked this question seemingly unintentionally, but the expressions of all the officers and soldiers changed. It was not because there was anything wrong with Lin Hai's words, but because it reminded them of a strange thing that happened during the day.

The deputy shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed to say that Sir Yan ordered me to escort him not long after he returned. However, he suddenly encountered a strange fog on the way. No matter how he walked, he couldn't get out. He has been delayed until now."

No wonder they insisted on handing over in person. Lin Hai previously thought that they thought the reward was too small, but now it seems that the incident during the day made them nervous.

"My lord, please accept your hard work."

Lin Hai handed over the red seal with both hands. The deputy didn't dare to say anything and took it with both hands.

The moment his fingers touched the red envelope, his whole body suddenly froze there, and his originally drooped head suddenly lifted up!

Without waiting for the humble and polite Deputy Zhenfu to make any move, Lin Hai stepped forward and stretched out his big palm, directly grabbing his face with one palm, as if he wanted to crush his entire face!

The harmonious atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became stiff. The officers and soldiers of the Zhenfu Division put their hands on the handles of their swords at their waists almost at the same time, but the next moment they were froze in place by the mournful wailing.

The deputy who led the team was actually an outsider pretending to be someone else!

Lin Hai held the man's face with an expressionless hand, and the surging sword energy in his body instantly sealed off many of his air points. With his other hand, he slowly crushed the empty red envelope and said coldly:
Chapter completed!
