Chapter 45 - Words can’t be wrongly said
Outside the granary, Lin Fan waved his paper fan and shook his head regretfully, “Ha, I just can’t watch. Who did it? To actually steal an entire granary, how terrifying.”
While speaking, his expression was one of fear.
“Rage Points +66.”
Where did the rage points come from? Just as he was thinking about it, he realised that Old Master Liang had brought people out of the granary.
Moreover, he had heard what he said.
The target was just in front of him. If he didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t feel good about it.
Civilians surrounded the area.
The Liang Family granary being robbed was a huge matter.
They treated this whole matter as a show. At the same time, they were shocked. Who was so bold to actually dare to rob the Liang Family’s granary? Did they want to die.
However, to the civilians, they were really happy to hear and see such things.
Originally, news of the Liang Family granary being robbed wouldn’t spread out. If they wanted to blame someone, they had to blame the guard who started to scream when he noticed it. That was why the entire city found out that their granary was robbed.
“Old Master Liang. I heard that your granary was stolen from. Who did it? The losses have to be huge.” Lin Fan smiled as he said that, he didn’t bother to hide the fact that he was gloating at all.
“Rage Points +111.”
Old Master Liang had a serious expression as he stared furiously at Lin Fan.
Someone stealing from the granary made him furious. Now that this kid appeared and said such words. What was the point?
Did he purposely try to anger him?
“Ha, the old quote was good. What was it? The Heavens have eyes. Is it so easy to take the stored grain of others. Take a look now, your retribution came.” Lin Fan said.
“Rage Points +233.”
“Haven’t you said enough?” Old Master Liang raged. If he weren’t the Lin Family Young Master, he would have attacked.
Lin Fan shook his head, “I definitely haven’t said enough. Since there is so much excitement, then let’s all take a look. We can study it together. Who knows, we might be able to find some clues.”
“Don’t worry. I am really sympathetic to the Liang Manor for this issue. I definitely didn’t come here to gloat.”
When he said those words, even he himself didn’t believe it.
Zhou Zhongmao doubted what his cousin said.
As for other people, they understood. Young Master Lin was lying with his eyes wide open. He was just making his words sound good.
“Father.”
At this moment, Liang Yongqi hurried over. His expression was really ugly. When he learnt that his family’s granary was robbed, his soul nearly left his body.
“Father, I heard that our granary was robbed. Is that true?” Liang Yongqi asked.
This would be his in the future.
Now that it was gone, it was like a stick broke his leg.
Old Master Liang’s face was cold as he acknowledged it.
Liang Yongqi’s pupils constricted in disbelief, and he ran into the granary. Not long after, he ran out in despair.
Suddenly, Liang Yongqi looked at Lin Fan, who was standing there and gloating. He seemed to have thought about something. He walked forward in rage and tried to grab his collar. However, Zhou Zhongmao stopped him.
“It is you! It had to be you!”
That shout attracted everyone’s attention.
The Liang Family Third Young Master pointed at Lin Fan and said that he was responsible.
This stunned everyone.
Lin Fan waved his fan calmly, “Liang Yongqi, sh*t can be randomly eaten, but words can’t be said without a thought. If you want to eat sh*t, I won’t stop you, and I could even give you some warm ones. However, if you are slandering me, then I will fight you to death.”
“You…” Liang Yongqi was so furious his eyes turned red. He turned around his head and said, “Father, just now, he was distributing grain to the Zhang and Qin Family Villages. Now our granary has been stolen. How can there be such a coincidence?”
“Rage Points +123.”
Old Master Liang looked towards Lin Fan. His eyes were dark and sunken like he felt that this matter was quite problematic.
“Keke, interesting. What does my Lin Family handing out grain have to do with you. I have money, so I do whatever I want with it, is there anything wrong?” Lin Fan wasn’t afraid. If he didn’t have a strong backer, he might have really felt afraid.
But now?
Come, come, we will fight and see who loses first.
That old fellow from Yuan Family had to shrink back after being stared at by Father. This Liang old man was far weaker.
After which, Lin Fan shouted, “Guys, stop looking, stop looking! Liang Family has gone mad! They are like mad dogs blaming everyone! Today I have some strength and am not afraid of them. If they blame you, it won’t end well!”
The commoners took a step back, looking at the Liang Family members in fear.
Young Master Lin’s words did make sense.
If they wanted to plant evidence, they wouldn’t be able to get away from it.
“Rage Points +333.”
“Shut up!” Old Master Liang stared at Lin Fan furiously, “Young Master Lin, your words are too much. Our granary has been stolen from, and you were distributing grain today. What evidence do you have to prove that you are innocent?”
Lin Fan looked at Old Master Liang like he was looking at an idiot.
“Innocent? Why do I have to prove anything? If you want proof, then find my father. He would be happy to discuss this.”
He directly let his father handle it.
“Oh, that’s right. My Lin Family distributed the grain to those villagers, but don’t think about robbing them. Or else you will be enemies with us, as for the outcome, you have a rough idea.” Lin Fan said.
His words were a little heavy.
The three aristocratic families of You City had many small conflicts these past few years, but they hadn’t truly fought.
Even Lin Fan didn’t know how the war would begin if it did.
Forget it.
Just say some vicious words first.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to gain a footing.
Old Master Liang’s fingers clenched up; rage built up in his chest as he stared angrily at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was totally unafraid.
“Old Master Liang, don’t look at me like that. What is the point of looking at me? Your grain won’t come back on its own. However, I feel that you need to check for traitors.” Lin Fan said.
“Rage Points +444.”
“Rage Points +666.”
The rage points directly jumped up. Old Master Liang’s rage got more and more fiery.
Zu Xiang was in deep thought.
With his past experience, when things occur, the culprit would appear on the scene.
Young Master Lin was a huge culprit, but he couldn’t say things randomly.
Lin Manor’s strength couldn’t be underestimated, especially that of Lin Wanyi. Although they hadn’t clashed before, he saw him personally. Lin Wanyi gave one the feeling like he was a deep ocean that couldn’t be judged and weighed.
Moreover, Young Master Lin’s strength was not enough to cause such a matter.
He was overthinking it.
Actually, if Lin Fan knew what Zu Xiang was thinking about, he would put his thumb up.
He was so amazing.
To be able to guess it just like that. However, he didn’t have the balls.
If he was bolder, everything would have been good.
“Cousin, the weather is so good, things are good. I feel good. Let’s go to Drunk Fragrance Pavillion to drink. Old Master Liang, if the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come. Your Liang Family suffered heavy losses, so why don’t I treat you all to a street stall to eat tofu and nourish your throats?” Lin Fan said.
“Despicable.” Liang Yongqi clenched his fists, “Surname Lin, don’t be too arrogant.”
“Rage Points +133.”
This fellow was really trash.
The rage points were too little. Couldn’t he be a little angrier, like a volcano that exploded?
Old Master Liang calmed himself down, “Forget it. Young Master Lin can go eat it yourself.”
He flicked his hands in rage and didn’t even look at Lin Fan.
“Cousin, let’s go.” Lin Fan smiled and looked at Liang Yongqi. His gaze was one of provocation.
If you are not happy, then come and beat me up.
In the end, it was down to who will beat up the other.
How would commoners not know about the conflict between Young Master Lin and Liang Family?
Their words were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Lin Family Manor.
Lin Wanyi frowned. The grain in the granary didn’t decrease, but the back courtyard was filled with grain. At the same time, Liang Family’s granary was robbed.
Even someone dumb would guess who did it.
No, that person wouldn’t know that the Lin Family granary didn’t have any decrease in grain.
“How did that kid do it?”
“No.”
“Brother Wu, head to the granary and arrange two guards to guard within.”
For the unfilial kid to be able to clear out the entire Liang Family granary without any signs, then if one day he had brain problems, he might even rob their own granary.
He had to defend against that.
