Chapter 8 Lin Zhennan and his son

Yu Canghai gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xin, why do you have to take the lead in this matter? Could it be that the Lin family asked you to do this?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Master Yu, don't worry. I am not someone you can ask for favors just for free."

Yu Canghai looked at Xin Zhen's expression carefully and found that he looked frank and had an extraordinary demeanor.

Considering his background, it seemed that he was not someone that the Fuwei Escort Agency could reach, and I immediately began to believe it.

He hesitated and said, "So you are really considering your position. If you are transferred from Fuzhou in the future, will you not care about this matter?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be transferred out of Fuzhou in a year and a half."

Yu Canghai made a prompt decision and said, "Then I will wait for a while."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "What happens in the future is none of my business. Yes, while it's still early, Sect Leader Yu should set off this morning."

Yu Canghai turned around and shouted to the disciples, "Pack your things and leave immediately!"

Jia Renyong hurriedly said: "Master, my brother's body has not been found yet..."

Yu Canghai said decisively: "Come back in a year and a half, and then I will ask the Lin family to personally dig Zhier out of the ground, and then bury the Lin family in that pit!"

After hearing Yu Canghai's words, all the disciples hurriedly packed their bags. As they were all wanderers, packing their bags was not a big deal and they finished in a short while.

Yu Canghai took a deep look at Xin Zhen, then shouted, "Let's go!"

Xin Zhen watched the Qingcheng Sect members leave, and then said to Yu Rendian, "Send someone to keep an eye on them and make sure they leave Fuzhou.

In addition, the people from the Fuwei Escort Agency should not withdraw for the time being and continue to watch. "

Yu Dianshi quickly took the order and left.

Xin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, finally the plan to exterminate his entire family was averted... well, it couldn't be said to have been averted, it could only be said to have been postponed.

But Xin Zhen had no intention of seriously intervening.

Regarding the affairs of the martial arts world, Xin Zhen’s idea is to let go of the desire to help others and respect other people’s choices.

The same goes for the Fuwei Escort Agency or the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Whether they destroy the entire clan or the sect, it has nothing to do with him.

Well, even if the Huashan Sect has some relationship with Xin Zhen, Xin Zhen does not intend to interfere.

To put it bluntly, the affairs of the underworld have nothing to do with him.

Apart from Feng Qingyang, he didn't want to have any contact with people like Yu Canghai.

Although he also practiced martial arts, he did not intend to solve the problem with force.

As a modern man, killing people at will really challenges his three views.

So even though he knew that he was in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he had no intention of entering the world of Jianghu.

From the very beginning, he was determined to follow the path of officialdom. Even though there were factional struggles and infighting in the officialdom, the way of struggle was similar to that in the workplace in later generations, which Xin Zhen considered to be more civilized.

And this world... haha, it's so filthy!

Now Yu Canghai has been persuaded to withdraw. After a year and a half, he can do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with him anyway.

For Xin Zhen, the matter ended here.

After returning to the yamen, the servants put their swords, guns, bows and arrows back into the warehouse, and Xin Zhen's life returned to its previous track.

But there are some things that Xin Zhen can't avoid even if he wants to.

A few days later, a clerk came to report to Xin Zhen that some Fuzhou merchants had heard that Xin Zhen was raising funds to build roads in the city and were willing to donate money to join in the cause. Xin Zhen was naturally very happy and took the time to meet with them.

The visitors were a father and son. After reporting their names, Xin Zhen was a little surprised, because they were Lin Zhennan and his son from the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Xin Zhen observed the father and son carefully. Lin Zhennan did not look like a man of the world who lived on the edge of a knife, but more like an ordinary country gentleman.

Lin Pingzhi, on the other hand, was handsome and looked very heroic.

While Xin Zhen was observing the father and son, Lin Pingzhi also secretly observed Xin Zhen while his father was talking.

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but be amazed at this sight. He was often praised for his appearance and was called a young hero.

But the Fuzhou Tongpan in front of him looked a bit more handsome than him, and the key was that his demeanor was much better than his own. Although he looked young, his bearing was dignified, which made people feel awe-inspiring.

Xin Zhen suspected that Lin Zhennan came to thank him after learning that he had helped his family repel the enemy, so he tried to test him: "I heard that Mr. Lin is willing to help build bridges and roads in Fuzhou. I welcome it very much, but I do have some questions for Mr. Lin."

Lin Zhennan was very humble and said quickly: "The Lin family has lived in Fuzhou for generations. Since my ancestor Lin Yuantu, we have been taken care of by the people of Fuzhou and have been able to survive until now.

Now the roads in Fuzhou are dilapidated and the bridges are broken. The Lin family is willing to contribute to repaying their hometown, and has no other intentions. "

Xin Zhen chuckled and said casually, "Has your son encountered any problems recently?"

Lin Pingzhi was shocked.

Lin Zhennan was a little puzzled: "My son didn't encounter any problems..."

Lin Zhennan turned to look at Lin Pingzhi, but saw that his son's face was a little pale. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed to Xin Zhen and said, "Sir Xin, my father and I came here today without any other thoughts, but simply to repay our hometown.

As for the rest, I know nothing. Lord Xin seems to know something. Can you tell me about it? "

Xin Zhen carefully observed the expressions of Lin Zhennan and his son, and realized that Lin Zhennan really didn't know what had happened. Lin Pingzhi looked embarrassed, as if he felt guilty for not telling his father.

Lin Zhennan might be able to pretend, but Lin Pingzhi couldn't.

Xin Zhen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "There is no one else here, so it's okay to talk about it. Your son was involved in a murder case a few days ago..."

Lin Zhennan felt his whole body shaking violently, and his legs and feet felt a little weak.

It is true that he is a gangster and he had killed several people when he was young.

It's no problem for the gangsters to kill people, but if it gets to the government, it will be a big deal.

However, Xin Zhen seemed not to care much and said, "...the deceased is the son of Yu Canghai, the leader of Qingcheng Sect. Yu Canghai brought dozens of disciples from the sect to seek revenge on Fuwei Escort Agency, but I persuaded them to retreat.

As the magistrate of Fuzhou, I naturally cannot allow the gangsters to cause trouble. If a family massacre occurs, I will inevitably be punished.

When you and your son came here today, I thought you had received some news and came to thank me, but Mr. Lin should not be aware of it, which is a good thing.

I still appreciate those fellow villagers who are willing to give back to their hometown.

As for the murder case, I will not pursue it, so you and your son don't have to worry.

But Yu Canghai said that when I am transferred from Fuzhou, they will probably come to seek revenge, so your Lin family should make preparations early..."

Xin Zhen told the story slowly and steadily, but Lin Zhennan and his son seemed to be stunned by thunder.

The father and son both looked pale and were about to fall to the ground.

Lin Zhennan kicked Lin Pingzhi to the ground and cursed, "You rebellious son, how could you do such a thing!"
