"Unfortunately, I feel ashamed to accept Shibo's kindness in gifting my store. However, my grain store has always been very particular about three entrances and three exits, so I also want to buy another store next to it. In addition, I
I heard that another grain merchant in the county, Shen Dahu, was rich and unkind. He bought big buckets and sold small buckets, making the people miserable. I guess Yang Captou, who always hates evil and hates evil, will never tolerate this kind of thing."
As soon as the two people heard Lin Fengjin's request, they immediately felt overwhelmed, secretly thinking that this little fox was more difficult to deal with than the old fox! He actually wanted to take advantage of the two shops, and even wanted to kill the most powerful competitor!
It is true that Mr. Shen had a notorious reputation for being rich and unkind, and even cost several people their lives. However, he had relatives in the state who were in charge. Lin Fengjin had specified that he wanted to bring down his family. I am afraid that he was only half-hearted about getting rid of harm for the people.
, the most important thing is to bring down Shen Dahu and let the Lin family dominate the grain business here!
There is no doubt that Lin Fengjin posed a big problem for these two people, but when Lin heard about this, he squirted out the medicine he was drinking, and immediately went to Lin Fengjin anxiously. The flesh on his cheeks
They were all shaking with anger, poking his head with anger and saying:
"What do you know, you idiot! You only know that looking at the immediate interests, the word greedy should not be used when doing business. What should you do if those two people really agree to your conditions? Do you really want to risk it with them?
It’s a huge risk.”
Lin Fengjin shrugged his shoulders and said:
"What does it matter? Anyway, I will go out to study soon. If they can't do it, I will leave. If they can do it, I will leave. So why not take advantage of it?"
Lin Yuanwai felt that his head was getting bigger:
"Shouldn't you be going to Fei Gong Academy? What are you going to do with the caravan to Xiangdu?"
Lin Fengjin wondered:
"Dad? Who said I want to go to a non-gong academy?"
"But aren't we the closest there?" Lin Yuanwai suddenly felt that he seemed to have thought of something wrong again, so he lost the confidence to speak.
Lin Fengjin sighed and said:
"Dad, non-gong academy is all about one's hands-on ability. My poor son, I've been spoiled since he was a child. Before he was ten years old, he didn't even have to pee or wipe his butt by himself. Even now, he can't live without a maid or servant to wait on him.
Zi Zi, you actually think that I should go to a non-gong academy to study? I heard there that you even have to farm your own land!"
The fat on Lin Yuwai's fat face trembled a few times, but he remained silent. Lin Fengjin then struck while the iron was hot and said:
"So, I think Donglin Academy is good for me. Didn't they say that a gentleman lives far away from the cook? Although there is no requirement for family background in Zhige Academy, the words "poor scholar, rich man" are not just casual remarks. This
These two places are my first choice. There must be people in these two academies in Xiangdu... So old man, even if they agree to my conditions, if you think about it carefully, it is equivalent to the county magistrate giving us a place.
A good shop fronting the street, plus helping us eliminate competitors, and finally a large number of bodyguards were organized to escort me to Xiangdu for activities and walking..."
"But judging from Magistrate Wu's attitude, there will definitely be many dangers along the way! You little bastard!" Lin Yuwai might have been a little angry, so he roared angrily.
Lin Fengjin shrugged and said:
"Well, even if the worst happens and someone comes to intercept the goods, their target should be the gift from the county magistrate. Do you think those guys will leave the gift to me for safekeeping? So I will just run away when the situation is bad.
That's good, with Li Hu protecting me, are those robbers stronger than the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty?"
Lin Yuanwai didn't know what to say. He stared and huffed and panted for a while. Then he suddenly turned around and walked back. He heard the old man yelling very irritably:
"Bring the hookah, hurry up! By the way, ask the kitchen to make two rock sugar pig's trotters at noon! Master, I want to replenish it, hey... I can't help you because I'm so big."

In the afternoon, Li Hu suddenly came to Lin Fengjin and said:
"Master, the government has taken action. There are many people sneaking around Shen Dahu's grain store. It seems that they have been prepared. Master, your request is just a trigger."
Lin Fengjin said calmly:
"County Magistrate Wu was bleeding heavily, so of course he had to plunder the private sector to make up for the loss. Moreover, Shen Dahu's backers in the state were not at odds with Magistrate Wu, so it was almost expected that this guy would be captured and slaughtered.
For them, my request is just a push-over. No matter whether Wu can take the road to Xiangdu or not, he will probably not stay in Huishui anymore. After the new county magistrate takes office, my family will not have a stable footing.
In other words, you are on the same starting line as the rest of the Jin gentry, and it is easier to gain a foothold."
Li Hu glanced at Lin Fengjin with admiration, but he was loyal and then said with some worry:
"I heard that in half a month we will have to form a caravan to go to Xiangfan. In such a short time, it will be difficult for me to train these people to look good. There should be many events along the way. Master, if there is no way to protect your safety, it will be fine
It’s guaranteed.”
Lin Fengjin sneered:
"Do you really take this matter seriously? Let me ask you, if you want to escort the valuables out, what is the most important thing?"
Li Hu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and said:
"Could it be... of course it's a secret!"
Lin Fengjin snapped his fingers:
"Old man Wu has been an official for decades and has become a treacherous old man. He certainly knows this truth. Therefore, according to my speculation, our caravan is probably just a push-up at the front desk.
It's just a cover, the real escort team is probably hidden behind the scenes, but..."
"But what?" Li Hu asked.
Lin Fengjin said calmly:
"If I were the magistrate of Wu County, I would hand over the things that I really want to escort to our caravan in the open, and instead use the caravan in the dark as bait. This should be the truth in the art of war.
, the truth is the truth. And I have an intuition that this Magistrate Wu may not have told the truth, and what he wants to escort is probably not a gift to bribe the superior..."
"But I'm not interested in going into this muddy water. What we have to do is very simple, that is, just watch and do the rest. I guess other forces in the caravan think the same way, so
We don’t stand out as special.”
Li Hu nodded. Lin Fengjin explained it very clearly, and he understood it thoroughly, so he immediately went down to continue training his servants. As a result, the next day news came that Shen Dahu was raided and his store was confiscated. Then in the afternoon
There was a servant who brought over the title deeds to the left and right sides of the Lin family grain store!
Both Team Leader Yang and Wu Yuanwai did not come forward. They obviously took advantage of Lin Fengjin's words and were determined not to give Lin Yuanwai any reason or excuse to evade. They also hinted that if the Lin family retorted, they would fall out.
mean.
However, Lin Fengjin also made up his mind to stop with silence. All he had to do was swallow the opponent's bait, but it was really not that easy to get him to take the bait. Lin Fengjin nodded and promised to join.
Later, he also received news that Wu Shilang's birthday was three months away, and the caravan still had one month to prepare.
After learning the news, Lin Fengjin felt more and more that there must be some inside story, but he also knew that sometimes the more you knew, the quicker you died, so he kept it quiet and gave it a month to prepare.
, enough for Li Hu to train dozens of usable servants. At the same time, another strong player, Tuobad, can already eat at this time, and will be able to take action in a month.
When it comes to commanding the enemy and breaking through formations, Li Hu, who is destined to break the army, does his part, but when it comes to personal lethality in the battle formation, Tuoba De's bows and arrows are even more frightening!

Time passed quickly. On the fifteenth day of this month, Lin Fengjin originally planned to give it a try to see if it was possible to meet other demons. Unfortunately, it was cloudy for two or three days in a row, and even
It was also raining, not to mention the moon, not even a single star could be seen, so we had to give up.
However, Lin Fengjin also felt that the fifteenth day was always a night of full moon. The so-called absence of the moon was just because it was covered by clouds. On that night, his energy and resilience were
, and even personal combat power will rise to the top! If you encounter a strong enemy that you have to face in the future, and it is not a demon fate, then this is a big advantage that can be used.
Fortunately, since Lin Fengjin's lung spirit awakened in his body, the mental skills of the pregnant five gods have also improved by leaps and bounds. In this month, under normal circumstances, his mind has been able to shrink from the original size of a fist to the size of a thumb, and he can still maintain this for about an hour.
.Although no other one of the Five Gods has awakened yet, he himself feels that what is lacking is just an opportunity.
Lin Fengjin's memory fragments of the demon star have also awakened a little bit again with the improvement of Yu Wushen's mental method. However, with this kind of ordinary improvement, usually these memory fragments obtained are not very important and will not
Ancient secrets such as "Incomplete Xiao Yan Jiao" appeared. Instead, they were some techniques to fully utilize and develop his current abilities.
At this time, after Lin Fengjin closed his eyes, three memory fragments appeared in the dark sea of consciousness.
These three memory fragments all look like broken bamboo slips, and some even have burnt marks on their edges. The surface is half or a very strange ancient hieroglyph, but the colors of the fragments are all
