"Something happened to Young Master. Just now, he sent someone to inform me to control the families of those people. I reckon that those people must have angered Young Master. In a moment of desperation, Young Master decided to target their families. But don't worry, with me here, the sky won't fall. At most, those people will suffer some physical pain and be paid some wages. In the future, they will do whatever they want. Do you understand? "Pass my words to the people below. They have to act properly. At this time, we can't add oil to the fire. Only by doing things well can we have the right to take the initiative!”
"If you do not do your job well, even my old face will not be able to plead for them. Pick up your seriousness. This matter is a piece of cake for you. However, we have to be careful not to lose a single person. This way, we can still be considered perfect. We will add a lot of points to Young Master's heart! I can only say this much to you. There are some things that I don't need to say. All these years, you've been with me, and you've never been hungry. If he messed up this matter, he would have to wait to eat gruel for the second half of the year!”
The Mountain didn't mind the first part of the sentence. After all, although he knew some things with his brain, there were too many twists and turns. Sometimes, if he wasn't careful, he would be confused. Although he had not been rich all these years, he still drank and ate meat often. When he heard that he would have to eat gruel for the second half of the year if he did not handle this matter well, Big Mountain felt uncomfortable. The brothers had put their heads on their belts in order to have a full meal. If anyone dropped the ball on this matter, they would be the enemy of all the brothers!
"Head Butler, don't worry. I will arrange this matter and explain the powerful relationship to my brothers. I guarantee that this matter will be done beautifully. If anyone messes up, they will be everyone's enemy.”
"Alright, you can leave now. Hurry up and do this matter well. Try your best to do this within two hours. If you don't have enough time, I'll give you four hours. I can spend more time, but I can't allow any fish to escape the net. Even if it's the illegitimate child of those guys, I have to find him!”
After Big Mountain received the order, he began to convey the order to the others. When the others received the news, they were all like injected stimulants. They no longer pretended to be sick like before. Instead, they began to arrest wave after wave. They arranged for the people who were arrested to be in a courtyard. When the time came, they could be escorted to the Lin Manor. As there were many people involved and the people were scattered, it took nearly two real hours to arrest all of them.
It was not an easy task to escort so many people to the Lin Mansion. Moreover, if they were to be escorted publicly, it would cause too much of a commotion. In the end, there was no other way. It would be difficult to explain to the leaders in the county. They had to control some things within a certain range of influence. Otherwise, the others would have thought that something had happened in the county. Fortunately, this matter had been settled by Lin Yunhai. But even so, he didn't dare to go overboard. Sometimes, he still had to leave some face for the higher-ups. Face was mutual. Over the years, Lin Yunhai had deeply understood the essence of it!
As batches of people were escorted to the Lin Mansion, Lin Yuanshan's previous actions could no longer be hidden. After all, the entire Lin residence belonged to the second and third branches of the Lin family and had nothing to do with the Lin family. It could be said that Lin Yunhai had nothing to do with the Lin residence now. Lin Yunhai was equivalent to a stray dog.
When Lin Yunhai heard about this from the informant, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He never thought that things would develop to this extent. The Lin Mansion and Lin Family's businesses had actually changed owners, and it had happened in these few hours under his eyes. How could he, who prided himself on being a wily old fox, tolerate being played like a monkey? Usually, he was the one who treated others as chess pieces in his hands. Now, he had become a chess piece in the other party's hands. This was simply a great humiliation.
However, now was not the time to think about these things. What he should be more concerned about was the money that Lin Yunhai had hidden in the underground warehouse. Part of it was his own, and the other part belonged to the bandits. If they were to be taken over by others, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, Lin Yunhai asked people to gather all the people. As for the families of those people, they were of no use to him now. Whether they were dead or alive had nothing to do with him. The most important thing for him now was to return to the Lin Mansion. Even if he could not continue to occupy the position of the Head Butler of the Lin Family, he had to transport the money hidden there. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Those bandits were ruthless characters who killed without batting an eye. If they mistakenly thought that he had stolen their money, his entire family would probably not be able to survive. With these dozens of guards, they could not guarantee the safety of his family at all, let alone when they had no money. How could these people still listen to his orders? Over the years, these people had been trained into wolves by him. If he did not give the wolves meat, it was very likely that the wolves would devour their masters.
Although he was extremely anxious, Lin Yunhai still looked calm on the surface. At this time, he could not be chaotic. If his subordinates knew about the money, there might really be a big mess. Since ancient times, wealth had moved people's hearts. Usually, he could still suppress them. In addition, he had the status of righteousness. Now that the entire Lin Manor had changed, if he could not handle it properly, he would not have the status of Big One and enough money. Then, his family would not be far from death.
After Lin Yunhai counted the number of people, he galloped towards the Lin Mansion. Although he cursed Lin Yuanshan countless times in his heart, how to deal with the thorny situation in front of him was what he really cared about. It concerned the life and death of his family. He could not afford to be careless in this matter! The key point now was to find out what had happened in the Lin Manor and whether there was still room for redemption. After arriving at the Lin Manor, he had to have a good talk with those two madams. Otherwise, he might really become a stray dog.
He arrived at the Lin Mansion in less than 15 minutes. Without waiting for anyone to inform him, he rushed straight into the Lin Mansion. All the servants and maids on the way were trembling with fear when they saw Lin Yunhai's appearance. Although the Lin family's assets were now owned by the Second and Third Madam, the entire guard team was in the hands of Butler Lin. If the two sides really fought, it was still unknown who would win!
After Lin Yunhai entered the Lin Mansion, he got off his horse and led a group of people aggressively towards the courtyard where the second and third branch of the Lin family lived. Everyone he met along the way was silent like cicadas in winter. Before this, the second and third household had already received the news and were waiting for Butler Lin at the entrance of the courtyard. The two sides soon met. After meeting, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very oppressive. In the end, both parties realized that this was not a solution. If they continued to confront each other like this, it would not be beneficial to the resolution of the matter. It was better to sit down and have a good talk.
Coincidentally, Zhang Hongyu's younger brother came out to mediate the situation and asked everyone to go to the living room to talk. Both sides gladly accepted this suggestion. The group of people walked towards the living room. However, on the way, the two sides were clear and did not interfere with each other. No one spoke along the way. They arrived at the living room in half a cup of tea's time. Before that, someone had already tidied up the living room. Tea and water were poured, and tables and chairs were arranged.
When they arrived at the living room, both parties stood on either side of a long table. On one side was Lin Yunhai, and on the other side were the second and third families. Both sides did not waste any time and found their seats to sit down, ready to start negotiations. However, Lin Yunhai felt that it was better for him to understand the situation before negotiating. He still had not figured out what had happened. Why had the Lin family changed so much? He did not know where Lin Yuanshan had gone.
"Before the negotiations, I have to ask, what exactly happened at the Lin Manor? I've only been out for four hours, but why does it feel like a dynasty has changed? Isn't this speed too fast? Moreover, there were no signs of it before. Or was it that someone was colluding with outsiders?”
"Butler Lin, there's no need for you to be so sarcastic. Since you want to know what happened in the residence, I'll explain it to you properly. It also saves people from slandering us and making others think that we colluded with outsiders to chase away the young master of the Lin family.”
"Hua Niang, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm a person with a stupid mouth sometimes. In addition, it's easy to offend people when I speak. Today, I'll be an honest listener!”
"Hong Yu, in that case, I'll take the responsibility and tell you everything that happened today in detail. "The cause of today's incident should be related to those shopkeepers and stewards of the grain trading company. As for what exactly happened inside, we still don't know. We only know that these people are all dead now. Moreover, these people had been tortured before. None of them had been tortured to death. Instead, their heads had been cut off by a knife. The entire room was like a battlefield, it was too scary, the floor was covered…"
"The two of us know what happened next. A group of soldiers came into the Lin residence. They said that a cat burglar had entered the head of the security regiment's house, but the cat burglar escaped. Now, the entire city is searching for the cat burglar. We protested a few times, but it was useless in the end. We could only follow their arrangements and enter the room. Hong Yu, I, and a few servants were locked in one room. The rest were locked in another room.”
