It was a winter night, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the old lady was bleeding and fainted on the spot.
Everyone in the Zhao Mansion did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of being killed by the innate master who came to the door. The guests who came to the banquet even complained secretly, wondering why they were involved in this muddy water.
Possibly losing your life.
After all, since ancient times, rivers and lakes have come to seek revenge and massacre the whole family. It is not uncommon for city gates to catch fire and damage the fish in the pond.
You could hear needles dropping in the square, and the cold wind was blowing. I don't know if everyone was shivering because of the weather or their mood.
"Bang!"
There was a sound of the jug falling to the ground, and everyone's heart suddenly trembled. Turning around, it turned out that the dancer next to the young man in white was too scared, and her hands trembled when she was pouring the wine, causing her to lose her grip on the jug.
.
"Slower."
Lin Shan stretched out his hand to hold the dancer's tender and white lotus root wrist, and asked with gentle concern:
"But just now, did I accidentally disturb the girl?"
With tears in her eyes, the dancer shook her head desperately, trying not to make a frightened and choked sound. She looked even more pitiful as she knelt on the ground.
Lin Shan couldn't help but doubt himself and touched his face. Am I so terrible? It seems that I have been eating and drinking since I entered the door. It was during this period that someone attacked me, so I fought back in self-defense.
Shaking his head and seeing everyone on the field cowering like quails, Lin Shan stood up helplessly.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, everyone stepped back as if they had seen a ghost!
Finally, Lin Shan couldn't hold himself any longer and waved his sleeves toward the door:
"Within ten breaths, all irrelevant people will leave this place!"
At the same time, he smiled coldly, showing his white teeth.
“Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed toward the gate like a horse running for their lives.
For a moment, in Nuo Da Square, the sound of panicked footsteps, the sound of tables and chairs being kicked over and fruit plates being kicked over, and the cries of dancers could be heard endlessly, as if there was some kind of savage beast in the courtyard.
Mr. Zhao, who was standing on the same spot, was suddenly pushed by the crowd rushing towards him. He didn't even care to look back to see who it was. He just guarded Lin Shan with sweat on his face, for fear that he would suddenly kill him and he would not be able to kill him the next moment.
life.
…
Twenty breaths later, Lin Shan looked at the last old man speechlessly as he stumbled out of the Zhao Mansion gate.
I finally managed to show off and was slapped in the face.
However, he didn't care too much about it. These people were irrelevant and there was no need for him to kill them randomly. In a blink of an eye, he looked at the remaining Zhao family members in the yard. They were all holding swords and facing him with panic on their faces.
"Mr. Zhao, next, we can have a good chat about the things between us."
Mr. Zhao looked around with a bitter look on his face. He did not hate these guests who had escaped, even though they had always been in contact with each other on weekdays, and some were bound by interests and in-laws.
But now that the Zhao family has been approached by an innate master to seek revenge, it would be good if they didn't add insult to injury, and they wouldn't stay and die.
The rest are all direct blood relatives of the Zhao family. Their wealth and life have long been bound to him, so it is not surprising that they can stay.
He knew that at this point, he could neither fight nor escape. For the sake of the Zhao family, he could only admit his mistake and submit.
"I feel ashamed to say that what happened back then was because I was greedy, so I ordered to attack the young master.
Everything is Zhao's fault! I am willing to bear all the consequences! Please be noble and spare the innocent old, young, women and children of the Zhao family. It will not bring harm to the family.
I am willing to die to apologize!"
After saying "Plop", he knelt down on his knees, bowed deeply, and waited for his resignation.
Among all the clan members behind him, although some did not know what the head of the family had done back then, they also knew that when it came time to be judged, they hurriedly knelt down one by one.
...
Lin Shan looked at the hundreds of people kneeling in the courtyard. No one jumped out to resist him, just like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
I couldn't help but feel in a trance for a while.
A year and a half ago, I also lived in such a big family. My martial arts skills were low, I had no direct relatives, and I was obedient and respectful to everyone.
Time flies by, and now I have the ability to control the life and death of such a big family...
For a moment, I suddenly felt that my interest was waning. The hundreds of people in front of me looked at Lin Shan eagerly, waiting for this young innate powerhouse to decide their fate tonight.
Unexpectedly, this strong man slowly came up with a new idea...
"I have always been alone, and I have relied on my own exploration and chance to find Gu Yun. But if there is a force that does this for me, wouldn't I save a lot of time?"
Lin Shan looked at the large group of people in front of him and had some thoughts in his mind.
"Although it is easy to kill them, after killing them, I will have to find Gu Yun alone. If I keep them, the Zhao family is also a wealthy and prominent family in Zangqi County, and I can use both information and connections.
Right now, it happens to be an opportunity..."
Thinking of this, Lin Shan coughed,
"Master Zhao, let's not talk about whether or not to kill you and your family. First, let's talk about the fact that you stole my treasure, an antique gold clock worth three thousand taels. What are you going to do?"
After saying this, Lin Shanruo glanced at Mr. Zhao meaningfully. Mr. Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, met this look and could not tell the meaning in the words of the man in front of him.
Who is willing to die if there is a chance to live?
As a staff member of the county governor, Mr. Zhao's mind was racing. He immediately began to guess the hidden meaning of Lin Shan's words, and said respectfully:
"The golden bell is a treasure that belongs to the young master, and it should be returned to the young master! At the same time, compensation should be made for this. The Zhao family is willing to compensate the young master another three thousand taels... five thousand... uh no! Eight thousand taels of gold!"
The entire Nuoda Zhao family has only a mere ten thousand taels of gold, which is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver. When Mr. Zhao thought of the lives of the entire clan, he naturally risked his life.
The surrounding elders in charge of the Zhao family also felt that there seemed to be room for change in this matter, and they quickly nodded in unison: "Yes! Yes! You must compensate! You must take it!"
When Lin Shan heard about money, the blood in his body became inexplicably excited. After all, he was afraid of poverty before, but...
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Well, it's not bad. But the golden bell has been kept in your Zhao family for more than a year. How do you calculate the interest?"
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he knew there was something interesting!
He nodded quickly and said sternly: "Yes! The golden clock is of extraordinary value. I have admired and played with it for so long, so I should be compensated together with the interest. I think the young master loves antiques very much, and is willing to turn the Chengxi Antique Shop into a business, together with all the people and belongings in the shop."
Give them to the Young Master together."
Elders of all clans: “It should be so!”
Lin Shan nodded secretly, calling Mr. Zhao the right person in his heart. But he still pretended to be hesitant and said: "But I am still young and have no experience in running an antique shop..."
"No problem! Our Zhao family can take care of it for you, and there is no need for any maintenance fees. We are completely voluntary!"
Elders of all clans: “It’s completely voluntary!”
Lin Shan looked displeased: "How can that be done! You take care of my property for me, and I won't pay you management fees. If you tell me, wouldn't it be like giving someone a hand?"
Mr. Zhao immediately shook his head: "Young Master, what you said is wrong! Being able to serve someone as innately strong as you is something that no one else dares to think about. If the Zhao family can help you, that is the blessing they have earned in eight lifetimes!"
Elders of all clans: "That's right! Blessing!"
"But I haven't done anything to help the Zhao family. How can I expect the Zhao family to help me so wholeheartedly? No, no, no!" There was something in Lin Shan's words.
Mr. Zhao understood instantly and immediately climbed up the pole.
"Young Master has really brought trouble to the Zhao family. We haven't treated you well yet, so how dare we ask a strong man like you to work for us? If you don't give up, the Zhao family is willing to hire the young master as the Zhao family's guest minister. He will saddle the young master's horses on weekdays. I also hope that the young master will work for us.
Have mercy!"
Elders of all clans: "I hope you will show mercy to me!"
