Chapter 9 Evil-Repelling Sword Technique
Lin Pingzhi was terrified and quickly told the whole story.

Lin Zhennan did not care that Xin Zhen was present and asked about the matter in detail. Sure enough, he confirmed that what Xin Zhen said was true.

Lin Zhennan immediately knelt on the ground and thanked Xin Zhen, saying: "The Lin family is very grateful to Lord Xin for saving our lives. If it weren't for Lord Xin, the Lin family would have been wiped out!
I am Lin Zhennan, a lowly man. From now on, I will follow the orders of Lord Xin. Lord Xin wants to build a road, and the Lin family is willing to donate half of our property and let Lord Xin control it.

From now on, Master Xin can tell me anything he wants. All the heroes of the Fuwei Escort Agency and the Ten Provinces Escort Agency will be at your disposal without complaint!"

When Xin Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Zhennan say this.

He originally had no intention of repaying Shi En, but because Lin Zhennan and his son wanted to build bridges and roads, it proved that the Lin family was still a good family. Therefore, he could not bear to see them destroyed, so he pointed out the matter to them and asked them to prepare early.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhennan actually threw out a chip that made him somewhat excited.

Xin Zhen didn't care much about money, but the escort agencies in these ten provinces made him somewhat tempted.

Xin Zhen wanted to make a big splash in the officialdom. If he had the help of the escort agencies from ten provinces to collect various types of information, it would be of use at the critical moment.

But is it worth taking on this matter?

This matter needs to be thought about carefully. The pros and cons are quite obvious, and it will take some time to figure it out. However, Lin Zhennan and his son in front of us need to be comforted.

Xin Zhen helped Lin Zhennan up and said, "Let's not talk about the contribution of family wealth. I have no intention of buying favors. You can just donate some according to your previous ideas.

As for the affairs of the Qingcheng Sect, I will take up my post in Fuzhou within about a year and a half, so Yu Canghai will not dare to invade.

But you, the Lin family, should not leave Fuzhou City for now, and the escort agencies in various provinces should stop escorting for the time being.

The Qingcheng Sect cannot deal with you, but it can take action against your escort agency.

But no matter what, you should be prepared.”

Lin Zhennan expressed his gratitude. Although Xin Zhen said he didn't need to give much, he still sent several hundred taels of silver and various valuable gifts.

After Lin Zhennan and his son left, Xin Zhen considered the pros and cons of taking over the Fuwei Escort Agency for his own use.

The benefits are certainly huge. If we have the help of Fuwei Escort Agency, we will be able to know everything about where the escort agency is located, and even the places where the escort agency passes through.

It goes without saying how beneficial these information sources are to officials.

To put it another way, if the Fuwei Escort Agency is taken into his possession, he can use the power in his hands to expand the escort routes of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and then the Fuwei Escort Agency will be able to earn more money.

Being an official does not mean that you do not need money, but you need more money. If the Fuwei Escort Agency can provide funds, his future official career will be smoother.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the Fuwei Escort Agency is now facing the threat of the Qingcheng Sect... Oh, I'm afraid there is more.

The crisis of Fuwei Escort Agency was not because Lin Pingzhi killed Yu Canghai's beloved son, but because of the Exorcism Sword Technique.

Now, not only the Qingcheng Sect is coveting the Exorcism Sword Technique, but also the Huashan Sect, the Songshan Sect and even the Sun and Moon Sect are eyeing it.

"call!"

Thinking of this, Xin Zhen let out a long sigh. This idea could be stopped.

He could use his official status to persuade Yu Canghai to withdraw, but it would only have a temporary effect.

If you want to forcibly protect the Lin family, you can't do it.

If those desperate criminals were angered, they would really dare to assassinate him in the dark of night.

Lin Zhennan also knew that Xin Zhen would not offend Qingcheng Sect for the Lin family, so after returning, apart from giving him money and gifts, he did not deliberately come to make friends with him. Instead, Lin Pingshi would come over after he left the government office and invite him to dinner and drinks, and even go horseback riding and outings.

Xin Zhen did not refuse Lin Pingzhi's invitation. He didn't have many friends in Fuzhou, and he didn't like the eating, drinking and flattery in official circles. When he had free time, he had nothing to do except practicing sword.

In Xin Zhen's opinion, Lin Pingzhi was a pretty good person. He liked his youthfulness, straightforwardness and sense of justice.

Since Lin Pingzhi is willing to get close to me, there's nothing wrong with interacting with him.

As they interacted more and more, the two of them really became good friends.

With Lin Pingzhi by her side, life became somewhat interesting, but accidents always happened unexpectedly.

An official notice that arrived in Fuzhou with the autumn wind broke the peace.

Lord Yan’s revenge has come.

Xin Zhen didn't make any mistakes in Fuzhou, but if he wants to make trouble for you, he always finds a way.

Lord Yan's people found problems in the poems Xin Zhen wrote two years ago, saying that Xin Zhen was dissatisfied with the emperor and showed resentment, so they removed Xin Zhen from his official position.

Although there was no word that he would never be employed again, it was a fact that Lord Yan was increasingly valued by the emperor.

Xin Zhen handed over his seal, took off his official uniform, changed into scholar's clothes, and prepared to leave Fuzhou.

He was preparing to return to the foot of Mount Hua. He hadn't been back for three years, and it was a good opportunity for him to go back and see his parents and Feng Qingyang.

When Lin Pingzhi heard about this, he rushed over to see Xin Zhen.

"Brother Xin! Where are you going?" Lin Pingzhi looked very worried.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Let's go back to Shaanxi. I haven't been home for several years. It's a good time to go back and honor my parents."

Lin Pingzhi sighed and said, "Brother Xin, you are a good official, how could the court treat you like this?
Those corrupt officials are doing a good job as officials, but you, a good official, can't stay in office for long. This world is too dark."

Xin Zhen was not depressed, and said with a smile: "This is how the officialdom is. It is normal to have ups and downs. Maybe in a few years, my master will return to the court, and I can continue to be an official."

Lin Pingzhi nodded quickly and said, "Of course you can. Brother Xin will be the prime minister in the future."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I have no problem here, but has your father prepared a way out?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "My father is going to close the escort agency and go to Luoyang to seek refuge with my grandfather.

My grandfather is the great hero Wang Yuanba from Zhongzhou, he will definitely be able to protect my family."

Xin Zhen frowned when he heard this.

Seeing Xin Zhen like this, Lin Pingzhi quickly asked, "Brother Xin, do you think this is inappropriate?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Your father should have told you about the Lin family's ancestor Lin Yuantu, right?
Ling Zu built a great foundation with the Sword of Exorcism, relying on this sword of exorcism that could scare away gods and ghosts.

Yu Canghai of Qingcheng Sect said he was here for revenge, but he was actually here for your Exorcist Sword Technique. Did you know this?"

Lin Pingzhi was surprised and asked, "So the conflict between Yu Canghai's son and me was not accidental, but he deliberately clashed with me in order to seize my family's Exorcism Sword Technique?"
