Yuan Family.
“Father, the Liang Family granary has been robbed, and nothing is left. The person that did it is so vicious.” Yuan Tianchu hurriedly walked into the main hall. He saw that his father was drinking tea and told him about what had happened.
Old Master Yuan’s expression changed slightly. A granary being stolen from was a huge matter.
The Liang Family would definitely explode.
“Have they found out who did it?” Old Master Yuan asked.
Yuan Tianchu shook his head, “I don’t know. However, one matter was that the Lin Family trash was distributing grain to the villagers of the two villages in the morning. Father, is there a problem with his brain to be able to do such a thing that hurts himself and helps others? It isn’t so easy to be a good person.”
“He is really suspicious.” Old Master Yuan was in deep thought as he said, “The Liang Family granary was stolen from, yet he was distributing grain. Didn’t the Liang Family suspect him?”
“They did. Liang Yongqi was like a madman, insisting that Lin Fan did it. However, he didn’t have any proof, and it was just false accusations.” Yuan Tianchu said.
Although it wasn’t their granary that was stolen from, for some reason, he panicked.
To be able to rob an entire granary without any signs and without drawing any attention, that ability was really outstanding.
“Go, increase the protection of the granary.” Old Master Yuan ordered. If that person targets his Yuan Family, wouldn’t that be bad?
When one was in peace times, think about upcoming danger.
It didn’t happen, but it didn’t mean that it wouldn’t happen.
If it really happened and they didn’t do anything about it, wasn’t that worse?
Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
Lin Fan was really lax. After this period of shameless acts, he noticed that as long as he was in You City, he could do whatever he wanted.
As the aristocratic families of You City, Liang and Yuan Family, especially their two family heads, were mocked by him.
If Father really felt that he couldn’t offend them, he would have chided him and also made him apologise.
However, Father didn’t look like he cared about this matter.
He didn’t even give an explanation to them.
Putting it directly, Father didn’t give a damn about them, which was why he wasn’t afraid.
At most, he would just hide in You City.
If he wanted to head out to walk around, he would use the small support system to raise his stats. There wasn’t much of an issue.
Lin Family Manor.
When he returned, there were still many villagers queueing up for grain.
The villagers were really grateful to Young Master Lin. They didn’t try to hide it as they knelt down in thanks.
They knew how to show thanks.
They knew how to remember this kindness.
Lin Fan was prepared to return to the back courtyard to sleep when his father walked over, “Did you rob the Liang Family granary?”
“No, Father. Do you think I am a thief?” Lin Fan denied. It wasn’t him but the insects, since it wasn’t him, then he wouldn’t take the blame for the insects.
However, he noticed that Father’s gaze was a little weird.
Like he was asking if he thought his father was dumb?
“Father, you don’t believe me?” Lin Fan was hurt, “Father and son work together. Father, as your son, we should trust one another. You doubting me really hurts my heart.”
No words were said.
His father didn’t say anything.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Fan.
Facing such a gaze, he wasn’t weak. He had to calm down. His biggest dream was to enjoy riches as a young master. Therefore, he couldn’t reveal too much talent.
“Father, I hadn’t slept for an entire night. I can’t take it anymore, and I am going to sleep.” Lin Fan didn’t dare to stare right at his father, directly walking towards the back courtyard.
He walked and walked, but felt that it wasn’t right.
Did he reveal something just now?
He shook his head, that was not possible; he didn’t say anything wrong.
Lin Wanyi didn’t stop Lin Fan from leaving. Looking at the unfilial kid’s leaving back, he shook his head.
“Old Master, it seems like it really was done by Young Master.” Old Wu walked over.
“Scoff, to try to hide it from me. This unfilial kid is really getting bolder and bolder. Does he really want You City to end in chaos?” Lin Wanyi said.
Old Wu didn’t panic. Even if Young Master did cause chaos, nothing would happen.
He returned to the courtyard and really fell asleep.
He played with insects for an entire night and was really tired. He only wanted to have a good sleep.
Liang Family.
“Father, I can ensure that our grain was definitely stolen by that bastard.” Liang Yongqi said furiously.
They were totally being bullied at their door.
“Do you have proof?” Old Master Liang asked
His expression wasn’t nice to look at either. However, he wasn’t so dumb to ask for answers from the Lin Family.
You City’s three aristocratic families seemed peaceful on the surface, but they kept one another in check.
Actually, in the deep parts of his heart, he was still afraid of the Lin Family.
“No.” Liang Yongqi lowered his head; his hands were tightly clenched. Even if he didn’t have any evidence, he still felt that Lin Fan was the thief that stole the grain.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought about something.
“Father, why don’t we send people to the village to snatch the grain? Anyways it belongs to us, so we should take it back.”
Old Master Liang raised his head and looked at his kid with a weird expression, “Does your brain have a problem?”
He didn’t think his third son whom he had high hopes on would have such a dumb thought.
“Father, I…” Liang Yongqi wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
Kachi!
Liang Yichu pushed the door open and entered. Zu Xiang followed beside him.
Zu Xiang wasn’t from the Liang Family. He was more of a visitor, provided by them in exchange for some help.
The granary matter was a challenge for him
To find the truth from details that normal people couldn’t touch and understand.
Logically speaking, Lin Family Young Master was the most suspicious.
He wouldn’t be surprised if he were really the one who did that.
But…
Everything rested on that ‘but’ word.
“Father, I have investigated the granary with Mr. Zu, and we confirmed something.” Liang Yichu said.
Liang Yongqi frowned, “Big Brother, why did you come here?” Nothing is of your business here.”
“How can you speak to your older brother like that? Yichu continue.” Old Master Liang lectured.
Liang Yongqi was really hurt. Father, you actually scolded me because of Big Brother. At the same time, he felt uneasy and a sense of danger.
Big Brother was fighting him for Father’s affection.
“Mr. Zu Xiang, please speak.” Liang Yichu said courteously.
Zu Xiang thought about it for a moment and cupped his fists, “Old Master, after my investigation, I can confirm that it was Insect Valley that did it. A few days ago, I met a person in the city.”
“At the start, I wasn’t certain, but thinking about it, I noticed that the person was familiar. In the end, I confirmed that he was Insect Valley’s traitor Feng Poliu.”
Old Master Liang didn’t know who Feng Poliu was.
However, knowing who it was helped to clear the doubts in his heart.
“Old Master, this person obtained the legacy of Insect Valley. He is able to control insects, and this granary incident was done by him. I think we can only let the matter rest. We can’t offend him.” Zu Xiang said.
Liang Yongqi was still saddened upon hearing that, he instantly wanted to perform, “Father, I am willing to bring people to capture Feng Poliu.”
Zu Xiang raised his head and looked at Third Young Master in helplessness.
F***.
He didn’t even know what background that person had and wanted to capture him. His life might be lost in that person’s hands in the end.
“Third Young Master, it is better not to offend that person. Otherwise, Liang Family might be wiped out.” Zu Xiang tried to persuade him.
He had learnt of all this in the Imperial City.
In terms of knowledge, he was far better than the Yuan and Liang Family.
He knew many things that other people didn’t.
Old Master Yuan was shocked, “That person is so strong?”
Zu Xiang replied, “He is really strong.”
