"How can such a frizzy person accomplish anything?" Lin Zude raised his head and scolded.

"Father, isn't this an emergency?" Lin Yucheng walked up with a playful smile. He is Lin Zude's only son and his favorite son. He has not been afraid of his father since he was a child.

Lin Zude knew what kind of virtue his son had. However, the Lin family members were a little irritable when they were young. They would gradually calm down when they grow up and mature, so he was not in a hurry.

"What's important?" Lin Zude took his fingers off the abacus and raised his head and asked.

"Xu Santong, the governor of the county governor's office, wrote a letter to our family." Lin Yucheng took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table.

"Oh? It's strange that Mr. Xu is actually interested in writing a letter to our family." Lin Zude raised the corners of his lips and showed a smile on his face.

"Have you read the letter?" Lin Zude pressed his palm on the envelope of the letter.

"Father, if you haven't read it yet, how can I see it? The people from the Sheriff's Mansion have said that they want to give it to you for review."

No matter how impatient Lin Yucheng was, he knew the priority of the matter and naturally would not open the letter privately and read it.

"Okay, let me see what kind of medicine Xu Santong sells."

Lin Zude took out the letter and looked around carefully, his eyes becoming more and more solemn.

"Father, what did Governor Xu say?" Lin Yucheng asked curiously.

"The fact that our Lin family harbored Wei Linqi has been exposed." Lin Zude sighed.

"Isn't it possible? Did Xu Santong betray us? Hasn't Wei Linqi been taken into the prefect's mansion?" Lin Yucheng asked doubtfully.

"No, Wei Linqi was not brought into the prefect's mansion. What Xu Santong meant is that he doesn't know the whereabouts of Wei Linqi..."

"As for how the news leaked...Xu Santong said that Wei Wuji of the Wei family went directly to the prefect's house to ask for someone, implying that it was our Lin family who told him the news." Lin Zude said.

"Why is Wei Wuji like this? Didn't he promise us not to tell anyone about our Lin family?" A look of anger flashed across Lin Yucheng's face.

At that time, they told the Wei family that Wei Linqi was being harbored by the prefect's mansion, and asked the Wei family to agree not to tell them who told them.

The Wei family obviously agreed!

What is going on now?

This is treachery.

"There are two possibilities. The first one is that the Wei family did not inform about this matter. Xu Santong learned about it from other channels. He wanted to drive a wedge between our two families. The second one is that the Wei family said this matter.

The idea of ​​using our Lin family as a stepping stone."

"Both are possible. We must be prepared to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes."

Lin Zude smelled something bad from this incident.

Maybe there is some unknown conspiracy hidden there.

"No matter what, father, we can't dig deep into the Wei family. The Wei family are not good people. Back then, the Wei family wanted to wipe out our Lin family. If we hadn't been lucky, the Lin family would have been doomed." Lin Yucheng said.

"Yes, the Wei family is indeed untrustworthy. I was mistaken. Even if our Lin family cooperates with the imperial court, it won't be a big problem. After all, the Lin family has no objections, but the Wei family...hehe, that's hard to say."

Lin Zude sneered.

"No way? The Wei family still dares to rebel against the imperial court?" Lin Yucheng said in shock.

It's not a big deal for aristocratic families like them to be small overlords in the local area. If they were to actually confront the imperial court, they wouldn't do it.

If the aristocratic family could really stand up to the imperial court, they would have taken advantage of the situation when the Southern Dynasty was in chaos.

If it couldn't be done back then, how is it possible now.

"The Wei family is related to the Zoroastrian Cult in the north. Do you understand?" Lin Zude said lightly.

Lin Zude stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at a century-old tree outside.

"Father, since the Wei family is related to the Beimen Zoroastrian Cult, do we, the Lin family, continue to have contact with them?"

Lin Yucheng's voice was a bit flinching.

I don’t blame him for being timid, I can only say that the Northern Zoroastrian Demonic Sect has also brought great oppression to the people in the Northern Territory of Da Qi.

"We still can't stop, at least we can't let the Wei family see it."

"You have to understand that the Wei family is the Wei family and the Demon Sect is the Demon Sect. They are not the same family. It is unlikely that the Wei family will use the Demon Sect to destroy our Lin family. If they could do it, they would have done it long ago, so why bother?

Wait until today."

"However, we have to be on guard. Especially recently, the situation in the north has been very strange and inexplicable. No one can say how deeply the Wei family is connected with the Northern Demon Sect." Lin Zude said lightly.

"The Wei family is really not afraid of death. How can the Northern Demon Sect be so easy to provoke? Which of our aristocratic families in the Northern Territory has not been harmed by the Northern Demon Sect before?" Lin Yucheng sighed.

"As things change, everything will be variable. There is no need to be too anxious. As long as you stand still, you will figure it out...Although the Northern Demon Sect is powerful, how can the Great Qi court be a vegetarian? If they are really invincible, why don't they defeat the Leopard Fang Pass?

To put it bluntly, they can’t do it!”

Lin Zude sneered.

The aristocratic families in the Northern Territory of Da Qi have records in their families. After the establishment of Da Qi, the Northern Demon Sect cooperated with Daliao and fought against Da Qi.

Although Da Qi did not completely defeat the Northern Demon Sect and Daliao, it did not fall behind after all, and Da Qi was the great dynasty that truly occupied the Central Plains.

As for Daliao... they had no choice but to withdraw from the Pass after their defeat. In fact, they were no match for Da Qi.

If Taizu Taizu of Daqi had not passed away suddenly, Daliao would have inevitably fallen into ruin.

"Yes, father, our Lin family still hides its capabilities and bides its time. It doesn't matter what they do, it has nothing to do with us." Lin Yucheng said.

"There are giants on both sides. We can't afford to offend anyone, so we have to do this."

It is said that they are hiding their capabilities and biding their time, but in fact, they have no choice but to do so. Although the Lin family is a local leader in Taian City, their strength is limited and they cannot get involved.

…

"Two days have come."

Luo Xingchen left the room early in the morning and saw Zi Yan.

"What's the arrangement mentioned by Fengqingwu?"

"Don't worry, let's go to the meeting hall first."

After Zi Yan was dressed, she stood up and walked outside.

When they arrived at the meeting hall, they found Feng Qingwu and Zhu Suiliang already waiting inside.

"You are here at the right time. My master's arrangements have already arrived."

Feng Qingwu's fair and handsome face had a hint of joy.

Zhu Suiliang was stunned for a moment. He had just arrived and didn't see any arrangements.

"Master Feng Hall, where are these arrangements?" Luo Xingchen asked after sitting down.

"Right here, the message arrived as expected."

Feng Qingwu raised her hand and took out a letter, took out a dry petal from it and laid it flat on the table.
Chapter completed!
