Lin Yan quickly left Xia Mansion, but he didn't want to remember the disgusting things in this house. Many people in Xia Mansion did not hold a grudge, but Lin Yan always had his heart for the old accountant who saved him ten years ago.
gratitude.
Unfortunately, in the second year he entered Xia Mansion, the old accountant died of illness and failed to give him a chance to fulfill his filial piety.
Now, he suddenly thought of this old man and decided to go to the cemetery to take a look.
The old accountant's surname is Xin, and the old housekeeper Xin Lengran who protected him all the way out of Tiandi City. Lin Yan was walking towards the hometown of Mr. Xin, and he thought of Butler Xin, who was buried in the official road.
The grave next to it.
A few years ago, he went to see it in the neighborhood of the official road, but probably because his memory was too blurry when he was seven years old, and the official road was renovated, he couldn't find the grave.
It's right.
This also became an eternal regret in his heart.
Because of this, he once handed over the money accumulated by working as a servant to the village chief of the village where the old accountant was located, and asked him to help repair the old accountant's grave to make it look better.
Only then did he feel better in his heart.
Because in his heart, Butler Xin and the Old Accountant Mr. are actually good people and elders worthy of his respect. Since he could not fulfill his filial piety during his lifetime, he could always do more for the two old men after his death.
When he arrived at the old accountant's village, it was already around 1:00 pm. Lin Yan used a ingot of silver to buy incense, candles, paper money and a bottle of good wine from the grocery store, and went straight up the mountain.
The old accountant has no children, and his wife dies early. Except for Lin Yan visiting him a few times a year, there is basically no one else going there.
Lin Yan lit the incense candle, burned some paper money, poured out all the wine, and after careful worship, he began to pull out the weeds around the cemetery.
After nearly half an hour of sweating and drying, Lin Yan finally cleared all the weeds, leaned over to the cemetery and began to go down the mountain.
At this time, an old man who was building fruit branches in the orchard at the foot of the mountain called Lin Yan.
"Young man, are you here to visit your loved ones?" The fruit farmer asked suddenly with a yellow straw hat and dark skin. Although it was a bit abrupt, it seemed that he had something to say.
Lin Yan then smiled and said, "Yes, old man."
"There are few young people like you who are filial now, but," the fruit farmer glanced at the green mountains behind him, with a sense of sorrow in his eyes, and said, "If you still want to come to worship in the future, you may have to move for them.
One place.”
"Old man, what do you mean?"
Lin Yan was a little confused. Is there anyone still thinking about the barren mountain?
"That whole mountain," the fruit farmer gestured with his hand and enclosed a large area including the cemetery of the old accountant. "It was bought by Cao Sanshui in Xiaoshui City. I heard that it will be in half a month.
Build a brick kiln factory there.”
Lin Yan frowned and felt surprisingly angry.
It would be fine if someone was thinking about going up the barren mountain, but he insisted on moving these graves in order to build a shit brick factory. Could it be that this person's conscience was all for food?
"What should I do if I can only move out of the grave? Doesn't he understand the principle that the deceased was buried for peace?"
"Young man, don't be impulsive," the fruit farmer waved his hand quickly. "Cao Sanshui has a background. I heard that when buying this land, hello to the government in advance. Don't expect such people who only care about making money will consider the deceased.
If you don't move the grave, I'm sure they will flatten the graveyard. Now that the graves on this mountain have almost been moved away, young people, hurry up. Alas, although it's helpless, it's better to move it than to let your relatives
Are their corpses exposed in the wilderness?”
Relocating the grave? An angry light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.
With him here, no one can think of touching the old accountant who has been buried in peace!
Mr. Xin’s grave can no longer be found. If even the old accountant is very good to him, he will be troubled by living people after his death, then how can he explain to the old accountant’s spirit of heaven? Then how can he repay the old accountant
Mr. Fang’s life-saving grace ten years ago?
When Lin Yan thought of this, the anger that rose in his heart wanted to burn the Cao man to death!
After asking the kind-hearted fruit farmer uncle about Cao Sanshui, Lin Yan hurriedly left Liuxi Village and walked towards Xiaoshui City.
This village called Liuxi Village is still in Qingyang Town. Qingyang Town is not far from the center of Xiaoshui City. Lin Yan didn't usually go up. After speeding up his pace, Lin Yan finally arrived in the city around 4 pm.
The city is undoubtedly the most prosperous place in Xiaoshui City. The streets are spacious and tidy, the houses are tall, and the traffic is bustling, and it is a prosperous scene, but Lin Yan is not in the mood to appreciate it.
When pedestrians on the street asked the exact address of Cao Sanshui's house, Lin Yan identified the direction and walked straight towards Cao's house.
"I want to see you Mr. Cao."
After being stopped by two servants in front of the grand and luxurious gate of the Cao family, Lin Yan said without being humble or arrogant.
Seeing that Lin Yan's appearance was handsome, his clothes were not glamorous. He was obviously not a nobleman or a wealthy businessman, so he looked arrogant and asked coldly: "Is there an invitation?"
"No, please inform me. I am from Liuxi Village and want to talk to your master."
Lin Yan is still neither humble nor arrogant.
"It's OK to inform me, but," one of the servants laughed dryly, stretched out a hand to Lin Yan, rubbed his thumb and index finger, and made a move to ask for money.
"It's easy to say," Lin Yan suppressed his anger and quietly took out the last two ingots of broken silver. "I'm sorry, this brother."
It is easy to do things with money. After a while, the servant who went to the inner courtyard to report back came back happily. Naturally, his face turned into a flower and made a "please" gesture at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan entered the inner courtyard and met Cao Sanshui in the hall. After a few polite greetings, both sides sat down.
Cao Sanshui has a medium-sized and short figure, about forty years old, with horoscopes and brisk eyes, and it is easy to see that he is a businessman from his appearance.
When Lin Yan was quietly observing Cao Sanshui, Cao Sanshui, who looked puzzled, also took the opportunity to look at the uninvited guest. If it weren't for the handsome young man, and the handsome appearance, and the servants just told him a few good words to him,
With his clothes, he really suspected that this person was here to cheat food and drink.
"I heard that the young master is from Liuxi Village?" After putting away the gaze that was staying on Lin Yan, Cao Sanshui asked with a smile.
"I am from Liuxi Village, my surname is Lin, but I went out many years ago and I only came back recently."
Lin Yan looked calm and spoke clearly, and his voice sounded very comfortable to Cao Sanshui. But in fact, Lin Yan was very angry. If he hadn't wanted to find out the man's bottom first, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started.
For the sake of his own selfish interests, he forced others to move the grave. If he did not move, he would destroy the grave. He did not even leave a place to rest for the deceased. Even if he was beaten to death, Lin Yan would not think that he would be able to do so.
Any guilt.
At this time, the maid just presented the incense tea. Cao Sanshui picked up the white porcelain teacup, opened the lid and blew it, pretending to be inadvertently asked: "Why is Mr. Lin coming to the humble house this time?"
"I want to discuss business with Boss Cao."
Lin Yan turned his mind and continued to deal with Cao Sanshui, holding the teacup in both hands but not picking it up. His face was very sincere, and he looked harmless.
Cao Sanshui's mind quickly moved. Although the young man in front of him had unknown origin and did not know what he did, there was no harm in talking to him. He just cheated on food and drink and was just a fool. If he really did it with himself, he would be beaten out.
For business, maybe a deal can be achieved in just one cup of tea, so why not?
So Cao Sanshui still smiled very well.
"Mr. Lin is young and promising, and has just returned to his hometown recently. Could it be that he wants to do something practical for Liuxi Village?"
"In Shangyan Business, as long as you have money to make money, I will come back to do business with Boss Cao."
Knowing that Cao Sanshui has been thinking about money, he will be excited as long as he talks about money, and he will definitely show his strength in front of his "cooperation partner", so that he can have a chance to find out his bottom line. Lin Yan said directly
.
Cao Sanshui had no extra expression on his face, but just picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip, but said in his heart, "There is a chance."
"Mr. Lin wants to cooperate with me in the brick kiln factory in Liuxi Village? I'm not to be hiding it. Although I have some friendship with the government, the government even came forward to the construction of the brick kiln, which avoided many troubles. However,
Liuxi Village has been hunting for generations and the people are strong, so there will inevitably be no trouble in the future. Since Mr. Lin is from this village, if he can become a business partner with Mr. Lin, it will be very beneficial for me to open up the situation in Liuxi Village."
Cao Sanshui said something polite, but he passed on a key message to Lin Yan: I have an official background.
Lin Yan kept listening quietly. He didn't hold up the teacup for the first time after Cao Sanshui finished speaking. After lifting the tea cover, the water vapor immediately blurred his handsome and resolute face.
"I will discuss the brick kiln matter later. I want to do another business with Boss Cao first."
Cao Sanshui's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he felt that the blurry face hidden behind the water vapor had a special weirdness, but the word "Li" was the first to start, and he quickly smiled and said, "Oh, we're going to negotiate business so soon, Mr. Lin
I am really decisive in doing things. I am very curious, what is this business?"
"I want to sell you a few pieces of cemetery. What do Boss Cao think?" Lin Yan continued to let the water vapor cover his face, and said slowly, not as if he was joking at all.
The temptation was over, and he had a clear mind and decided not to circle around Cao Sanshui and start doing the serious business directly!
"Bang!"
Cao Sanshui smashed the teacup heavily on the table and stood up "wow", so angry that his horoscope almost flew out.
"My surname is Lin, you are deliberately playing with me, right?"
"You are the one who plays with us. If we ask the people in Liuxi Village to move the graves, okay, then we will move the graves to your house. I think it's good to move them to this hall."
Lin Yan was still sitting, as peaceful as a rock. Through observation and conversation, he had already determined that Cao Sanshui's strength was not as strong as heaven, so he decided to seek justice in person.
