"It turned out to be something neither of us expected. The Snitch story was completely false. It was just a cover. There were also some problems in the kitchen. We don't know what the exact problem is. In short, the final result was that Er Gou was killed, and Chun Niang and Gou Dan were missing. According to our speculation, they should have run away with Lin Yuanshan. We can't be 100% sure about this. Perhaps the two missing people know something!”
"What happened next is still unbelievable to the two of us. Lin Yuanshan actually sold the entire Lin Mansion and the Lin family's property to us. Here are the deeds signed by both of us. Now these properties belong to the two of us. I also have the title deed of these properties in my hand.”
"I won't hide the terms between us from you. Lin Yuanshan's terms are too low. He only wanted the money that we had accumulated over the years, and only wanted cash and gold. He didn't want anything else like antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jade. He also took some of the grain stored in the grain trading company. With these conditions, he gave us all the Lin family's cloth workshop, restaurants, grain trading company, and the large courtyard of the Lin residence. I still feel that this deal is unbelievable. It's like a big pie fell from the sky and directly smashed into our heads.”
"Oh, one more thing. When Lin Yuanshan left, he took a group of maids and servants with him. Those people are all loyal to Lin Yuanshan. We know ourselves very well. We are very clear about the twists and turns in the hearts of the servants in the residence. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to stay in the Lin family for so many years!”
"And let us repeat one last time. We did not collude with any outsiders. Lin Yuanshan was willing to do all of this. He also told us that we can change the name of the Lin Mansion. In the future, all these things will belong to us.”
"This is the situation! Butler Lin, what are you going to do next? Should he continue to stay or leave the Lin family from now on?”
Ignoring Hua Niang's last taunt, Lin Yunhai knew that in the current situation, there was no need for her to lie to him. That meant that what she said was true. He began to analyze this matter in his mind.
" When Lin Yuanshan told me that this morning, I didn't notice anything unusual. Besides, the audit today has been delayed many times. It's time to check. There's no problem at all. Then the problem lay with the shopkeepers and stewards. According to Hua Niang, these people had been tortured before. According to their usual behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, they definitely couldn't withstand it. They must have confessed something. These people must have said that there was a traitor in the Lin family. However, when he did that, he did it in a more secretive manner. No one should have noticed that it was him.”
"If that's the case, Lin Yuanshan will definitely be more vigilant. With the existence of the traitor, then the Lin family's guards can no longer be trusted. After all, no one knows if there are traitors among them. If we alert the enemy, it is very likely that we will fall into a disadvantageous situation. One had to know that there were five or six people who wanted to fight against the grain trading company. In addition to the second and third branch of the Lin family, as well as that traitor, facing so many enemies at once, no one could withstand it?”
"From the previous clues, we can see that today's incident was indeed an accident. I guess Lin Yuanshan was afraid that the news would be leaked after getting so much inside information. Once the news was leaked, the entire Lin family could be said to be in danger. At this moment, it was a test of a person's decisiveness. Lin Yuanshan must have chosen to go all out. This kid was really ruthless. In order to prevent the situation from expanding, the guards were asked to arrest the families of those people and use them to threaten them. This would easily create a false impression to the outside world. Lin Yuanshan was at his wit's end. After the child was deceived, he became impulsive and did not care about anything. In addition, he had sent someone to secretly hint to him, making him unconsciously cover for him!”
"As for why Lin Yuanshan sold so many properties to the second and third families, it's easy to understand. Firstly, if he continued to occupy the Lin Manor, he would only become a target for more people. It was better to just leave. Secondly, the Lin family was very likely to be the scapegoat. However, there were some new developments in that matter that Lin Yuanshan did not know about. However, that news was already very shocking to him. For his own life, it was not impossible for him to give up the Lin family. Thirdly, Lin Yuanshan could get a large sum of money from his second and third family. With this money, he could go wherever he wanted in the future.”
"There's another important point. If Lin Yuanshan makes a move on the second and third branch, no matter what name he uses, there will be people who will say sour words. In this era, a person's reputation had a huge impact on them. This should be one of the important reasons.”
" After this move, Lin Yuanshan will truly be able to jump into the vast sea like a fish, and fly in the high sky like a bird. He will regain his freedom and no longer have to live in fear every day like before. Not to mention that there was a traitor in the Lin family. This was probably the source of his greatest unease. He really did not expect himself to be the main reason why Lin Yuanshan escaped!”
"Something's wrong. I keep feeling that something is wrong. Although he had secretly interfered with the grain trading company, no one had ever seen his true face. In other words, he had not been discovered! If that was the case, why didn't Lin Yuanshan take him with him? He had always been loyal to the Lin family. Even Old Madam Lin and Old Master Lin had been deceived by him for so many years. It was impossible for Lin Yuanshan to find out that there was something wrong with him. Then why would he abandon him? With his help, it should be easier to control the situation. In addition, he was older and had rich social experience. No matter what, he could give suggestions from behind.”
" Now that I've become an abandoned pawn, something must have happened in between. Something that I don't know about, and it's very important. It made Lin Yuanshan doubt my loyalty, and it might even make Lin Yuanshan confirm that I'm a traitor. What was the problem? Hua Niang and the others definitely weren't lying, and Er Gou wouldn't know that he was a traitor. So where did the loophole appear?”
"Could it be? Could it be from that tunnel? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. When he dug the tunnel, he was very careful. He only transferred a part of the property from the underground secret room, and every time he cleaned his hands and feet very cleanly. When it came to that secret passage, he had even specially asked the grave robbers for advice. With such a meticulous design, there should not be any problems! Where did the problem lie? No, I have to go to the underground warehouse to take a look. I have to confirm it before I can move on to the next step!”
A series of thoughts flashed through Lin Yunhai's mind. Some things could only be negotiated after they were confirmed. If there was no problem with the money, it did not matter if he left the Lin family. As long as he had the gun and money, he could completely create a new Lin family, and it would be his own Lin family.
"After listening to what you said, I have some doubts. There are some things that I need to confirm. After all, you guys have a red mouth and white teeth, and you guys pushed the matter away as soon as you touched it. It seems that you didn't make a single mistake in this matter. I suggest that we take a break first. I'll go investigate first. We'll continue talking when I come back!”
Hua Niang and the others did not say anything about Lin Yunhai's request. They could only nod in agreement. After all, what happened today was too surreal. Not to mention that others did not believe it, even they felt as if they were living in a dream. It felt a little unreal! It was reasonable to let the other party investigate. If not for the fact that the other party controlled the guards, he would not have the responsibility to negotiate with them. He would have directly chased them out.
Lin Yunhai hurried to his room to see if his underground warehouse had been touched. At the same time, he ordered people to go down and understand the situation. He also asked people to guard the door and not allow anyone to enter. After he entered the room, he went to the side of the bed where he was sleeping. He lifted the bed board and opened the entrance to the underground warehouse. After waiting for half a cup of tea, he entered the tunnel with an oil lamp in his hand.
After a short while, they arrived at the underground warehouse. Lin Yunhai let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the boxes were neatly placed there and that there were no traces of anyone touching them. Thinking of the account books here, his gaze fell directly on the table and found that the account books were lying there quietly. This time, he felt relieved. Although he still didn't understand why Lin Yuanshan didn't take him with him, his things were still intact. They were not important to him.
Lin Yunhai considered that if he stayed down there for too long, it would definitely arouse suspicion. At that time, it would cause some unnecessary trouble and people might even discover the secret here. After he realized that these things had not been touched by anyone, he did not plan to open them one by one to check. He directly walked up. As for the remaining things in the Lin family's secret chamber, they should have been taken away by Lin Yuanshan. Even if they weren't taken away, it wasn't the right time to take those things out. He had to deal with the second and third families first.
