King

Lin Yan left Xia Mansion quickly, but he didn't want to think about the disgusting things in the past in this house. There are many people in Xia Mansion, and he doesn't hold any grudges. For the old accountant who saved him ten years ago, Lin Yan has always had a heart. gratitude.

Unfortunately, in his second year in Xiafu, the old accountant passed away due to illness, and he was not given a chance to fulfill his filial piety.

Now, he suddenly thought of this old man and decided to go to the cemetery to have a look.

The old accountant's surname is Xin, which is the same surname as Xin Lengran, the old housekeeper who protected him all the way out of Tiandi City. Lin Yan walked towards the old house of the accountant, and thought of the housekeeper Xin again, thinking that the housekeeper Xin was buried in the official road The grave next to it.

A few years ago, he went to look around the official road, but probably because his memory was too vague when he was seven years old, and the official road was repaired again, he couldn't find the grave anyway. up.

This has also become an eternal regret in his heart.

Because of this, he once handed over the money he had accumulated as a handyman to the head of the village where the old accountant lived, and asked him to help make the old accountant's grave look better.

Doing so made him feel better.

Because in his heart, Steward Xin and the old accountant are actually good people, elders worthy of his respect, since he couldn't be filial in life, he can always do something for the two old people after death.

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when we came to the village of the old accountant.Lin Yan bought joss paper money and a bottle of good wine at the grocery store with an ingot of broken silver, and went straight up the mountain.

The old accountant had no children, and his wife died early. Except for Lin Yan who came to visit a few times a year, basically no one else went there.

Lin Yan lit the joss sticks, burned some paper money, poured out the wine, and after earnest worship, he began to pull out the weeds around the cemetery.

After sweating profusely for nearly half an hour, Lin Yan finally cleared away all the weeds. After bowing down to the cemetery, he began to descend the mountain.

At this time, an old man who was repairing fruit branches in the orchard at the foot of the mountain called Lin Yan to stop.

"Young man, are you here to visit your relatives?" The fruit farmer, wearing a yellow straw hat and dark skin, asked suddenly. 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 very few filial young people like you nowadays, but," the fruit farmer glanced at the green hills behind him, with a look of sadness in his eyes, and said, "If you still want to come to worship in the future, I'm afraid you will have to move to another place for them." A place."

"Old man, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Yan was a little puzzled. Is there anyone still thinking about the barren mountain?

"The whole mountain," the fruit farmer gestured with his hands, enclosing a large area including the graveyard of the old accountant, "it was bought by Cao Sanshui in Xiaoshui City. Build brick kilns there."

Lin Yan frowned, feeling surprisingly angry.

Some people think about going to the barren hills, but they insist on removing these graves in order to build a bullshit brick factory. Isn't this person's conscience eaten by dogs?

"What about the cemetery, can it only be moved out? Doesn't he understand the truth that the dead can be buried in the ground?"

"Young man, don't be impulsive," the fruit farmer hastily waved his hand, "Cao Sanshui has quite a background, I heard that he bought this land with the government in advance, don't expect this kind of person who only cares about making money to think about the deceased, If you don't relocate the grave, I'm sure they will level the cemetery. Now almost all the graves on this mountain have been relocated, young people, hurry up. Hey, although it is very helpless, it is better than letting your relatives move Are their bones exposed in the wilderness?"

Move the grave?An angry light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

With him here, no one can touch the old accountant who has been buried in the ground!

Butler Xin's grave has been lost. If even the old accountant who was very kind to him is still tossed by the living after his death, how can he explain to the old accountant's spirit in heaven?Then how would he repay the old accountant for saving his life ten years ago?

Thinking of this, the anger rising in Lin Yan's heart wished to burn that Cao to death!

After asking the kind-hearted 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 usually didn't go there. After quickening his pace, Lin Yan finally arrived in the city around [-]:[-] pm.

The city is undoubtedly the most prosperous place in Xiaoshui City. The streets are spacious and tidy, with tall houses and heavy traffic. It is a thriving scene, but Lin Yan is not in the mood to appreciate it.

After asking passers-by on the street the exact address of Cao Sanshui's house, Lin Yan walked straight to Cao's house after confirming the direction.

"I want to see you, Master Cao."

After being stopped by two servants in front of the grand and luxurious gate of the Cao family, Lin Yan said neither humble nor overbearing.

The servant saw that although Lin Yan had a handsome appearance, his clothes were not fancy. He was obviously not a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, so his face had a look of arrogance, and he asked coldly, "Do you have an invitation?"

"No, please inform me. I'm from Liuxi Village, and I want to talk to your master about something."

Lin Yan was still neither humble nor overbearing.

"Notification is fine, but," one of the servants laughed dryly, stretched out a hand towards Lin Yan, rubbed his thumb and index finger interlacedly, and made a gesture of asking for money.

"It's easy to talk about it," Lin Yan held back his anger, and calmly took out the last two ingots of broken silver, "I'm sorry, big brother."

Money is easy to do, and after a while, the servant who went to the inner courtyard to report came back, with a smile on his face, and he made a "please" gesture to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan entered the inner courtyard, and met Cao Sanshui in the lobby. After exchanging a few polite greetings, the two parties sat down as guests and hosts.

Cao Sanshui is short in stature, about 40 years old, with a mustache and bright eyes. It is easy to tell from his appearance that he is a businessman.

When Lin Yan was observing Cao Sanshui quietly, Cao Sanshui, who looked puzzled, also took the opportunity to look at the unexpected guest.If he hadn't seen this young man's stately appearance and dignified appearance, and the servant had said a few good things about him when he was notifying him just now, he would have really suspected that this man was here to cheat for food and drink just based on his clothes.

"I heard that the young master is from Liuxi Village?" Cao Sanshui asked with a smile after putting away his gaze from Lin Yan.

"I'm from Liuxi Village, surnamed Lin, but I went out many years ago and only came back recently."

Lin Yan looked calm and spoke clearly, his voice sounded very comfortable to Cao Sanshui.But in fact, Lin Yan was very angry in his heart. If he didn't want to find out this person's background first, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started.

For his own self-interest, he forced others to move the grave. If he didn't move it, he would destroy the grave. He didn't even leave a resting place for the dead. Even if he was beaten to death, Lin Yan didn't think it would be a bad idea. Have any guilt.

At this time, the servant girl just brought the tea, Cao Sanshui picked up the white porcelain teacup, lifted the lid and blew on it, pretending to casually ask, "Then why Mr. Lin came to the humble house this time?"

"I want to discuss a business with Boss Cao."

Lin Yan changed his mind and continued to deal with Cao Sanshui, holding the teacup in both hands but not picking it up, with a sincere expression on his face, as if he was harmless to humans and animals.

Cao Sanshui's mind quickly became active.Although the origin of the young man in front of me is unknown, and he doesn't know what he does specifically, but there's no harm in talking to him. It's just that he's cheating for food and drink. If he really does business with himself, maybe a cup of tea A deal can be concluded during tea time, why not do it?

So Cao Sanshui is still smiling.

"Mr. Lin is young and promising. He just returned to his hometown recently. Could it be that he wants to do something practical for Liuxi Village?"

"In business talk business, as long as there is money to make, I come back to do business with Boss Cao."

Knowing that Cao Sanshui was focused on money, he would be excited when talking about money, and would definitely show off his strength in front of his "partners", so that he would have the opportunity to find out his bottom line, so Lin Yan said directly .

Cao Sanshui had no expression on his face, he just picked up the tea and took a sip comfortably, but said in his heart, "There is a joke".

"Mr. Lin wants to cooperate with me on the brick kiln factory in Liuxi Village? To tell you the truth, although I still have some friendship with the government, the government stepped in to build the brick kiln, which avoided a lot of trouble. However, People in Liuxi Village have hunted for generations, and the folk customs are strong, so it is inevitable that there will be no troubles in the future. Since Mr. Lin is from this village, if we can become business partners with Mr. Lin, it will be very beneficial for me to open up the situation in Liuxi Village."

Cao Sanshui said some polite words, but he conveyed a key message to Lin Yan: I have a government background.

Lin Yan listened quietly all the time, and waited until Cao Sanshui finished speaking before picking up the teacup for the first time. After removing the lid, the water vapor immediately blurred his handsome and resolute face.

"I'll talk about the brick kiln later. I want to do another business with Boss Cao first."

Cao Sanshui's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he seemed to feel that the fuzzy face hidden behind the water vapor had a special strangeness, but he quickly smiled and said: "Oh, we are going to talk about business so soon, Mr. Lin You are really quick and resolute in doing things, I am very curious, what is this business?"

"I want to sell you a few cemeteries, what does Boss Cao think?" Lin Yan continued to let the water vapor cover his face, and said in a leisurely manner, not at all joking.

The temptation is over, he has a bottom line in his mind, and decides not to go around in circles with Cao Sanshui, and directly starts to get down to business!

"boom!"

Cao Sanshui slammed the teacup on the table, stood up with a "huh", and was so angry that his mustache almost flew out.

"My surname is Lin, you're playing tricks on me, right?"

"It's you who is playing tricks. If we want the people in Liuxi Village to move their graves, okay, then we can move all their graves to your house. I think it would be good to move them to this hall."

Lin Yan was still sitting, calm as a rock.Through observation and conversation, he has judged that Cao Sanshui's strength is not all-powerful, so he decided to seek justice in person.
