Start with one punch

Chapter 22
With the morning breeze blowing on his face, Lin Huaian stood on the courtyard wall, silently looking at the calm lake water.

After the Zhao family left with anger yesterday, Lin Huai'an told the direct descendants of the Qin family what he was thinking.

The reason why he did this was simple, he wanted to cause trouble...

That's right, he is the spirit stone of the Zhao family.

As for why they spoke so rudely and angered the Zhao family, it was naturally to wait for the Zhao family to retaliate. As soon as the Zhao family retaliates, they will have a reputation here, and then they can counterattack and take down the Zhao family like they did against the Haihe Gang. industry.

Someone asked at the time, why were they sure that the Zhao family would retaliate?

Lin Huaian also answered. The financial resources displayed by the Zhao family can show that the Zhao family is by no means an unknown person. With such financial resources, they can long ago replace any of the four major families in Muyang County. But why is the Zhao family Didn't do this?

Lin Huaian couldn't guess what the reason was, but it was certain that the Zhao family must have a plan, and the Dongjiang Pier was very important to the Zhao family. Even if they didn't refuse strictly this time, they would have to use a tactful method. In order to get Dongjiang, the Zhao family Pier will fall out with the Qin family sooner or later. Since they are going to fall out sooner or later, it is better to just do it.

For the Dongjiang Wharf, the Zhao family will make trouble for the Qin family, but as long as they cause trouble, the Qin family will naturally become famous, and then they can naturally seize the Zhao family's property in Muyang County.

There are still people in the Qin family who are worried about the Zhao family's backstage. According to previous information about the Zhao family, the Zhao family moved from other states and counties. This may be an excuse, but it is very likely that the Zhao family has a big backer. Someone who can crush the Qin family to death with one hand.

Regarding this concern, Lin Huaian also answered, with just one sentence, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

The situation in the nine prefectures is now stable, and the grand masters are in charge. No one likes to see people from other prefectures and counties reaching out to their side. Even if the Zhao family has power in other prefectures and counties, they can't even think about causing trouble for the Qin family in an upright manner. They can only come secretly from behind, and Lin Huaian said that if it is from the front, he may not be able to hold it with one arm, and cannot protect so many people in the Qin family at the same time, but if it is secretly, the number of people coming will definitely not be large, so no matter how many people come from the other side, there will be no You can easily deal with it yourself.

In order to show Lin Huaian's strength, Qin Hua also specifically stood up and promised that she did not say how strong her uncle was, but she can tell you for sure, so you can rest assured.

With Qin Hua's guarantee, everyone here was also relieved. At this time, after thinking about Lin Huai'an's words, they really made sense. Naturally, they were also envious of the Zhao family's property. They were moved, but because they were weak, they didn't dare to show that greedy look on the surface. Now that the uncle has spoken, their hearts have stabilized.

Next, the entire Qin family was united, no one was struggling anymore, and they all expressed that they would continue to obey Lin Huaian's instructions.

"Uncle, this is freshly cut bamboo."

A servant appeared under the courtyard wall, interrupting Lin Huaian's thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he saw the servant in the mansion holding many freshly cut bamboos, and nodded to express his understanding.

The servant who delivered the bamboo put down the bamboo and looked out through the hole in the courtyard wall. When he saw no one, he said, "Master, that little beggar came again yesterday."

After hearing this, Lin Huaian subconsciously glanced outside the courtyard wall. Under the willow tree, there was no sign of the little beggar. Then he didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.

...Zhao family, Zhao Ping is still leaning on the chair. The words brought back by the steward yesterday made him very angry. It has been a long time since anyone dared to talk to him like this, and they actually threatened to break his neck.

"Hmph, ignorance and ignorance." Although a day had passed, Zhao Ping was still angry after thinking about it now, and couldn't help muttering. The manager next to him immediately lowered his head when he saw it, pretending he didn't hear it.

Zhao Ping didn't continue to mutter, he was silent for a moment, calmed down, and couldn't help sighing after clearing his thoughts: "Oh, I'm still too anxious after all..."

"Third Master, what's wrong?" the steward asked immediately.

Zhao Ping shook his head and sighed: "The Qin family did it on purpose. Not surprisingly, they must have guessed that we need this Dongjiang Wharf very much. The words yesterday seemed rude, but in fact they had ulterior motives."

The person in charge couldn't figure out the doorway inside, so he immediately acted like he was all ears.

Zhao Ping continued: "In the past few days, I have sent people to increase the price continuously, which gave them a feeling that our Zhao family is rich and powerful, and there must be some background behind it. They insulted us yesterday because they wanted us to take the initiative to find fault. Only then will they be able to fight back and take us down in one fell swoop.

They are very confident and have confidence in themselves. They know that we come from other places and cannot deal with them openly, but can only do it secretly. They feel that if we do it secretly, they can handle it..."

When the manager heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, Third Master, what do these cats and dogs really think of themselves?"

Zhao Ping did not laugh, he was very calm: "It's okay for them to plan like this. They probably really have confidence in themselves. The biggest source of this confidence should be the man named Lin Huaian. He has been keeping secret for these years. Once he makes a move, If we take down the Haihe Gang, our skills will definitely be great, but it's a pity that no matter how much they overestimate us, they still can't imagine that we are from Mengzhou, and they can't guess our backing."

After hearing this, the steward couldn't help but nodded, and even showed a hint of sigh on his face, and said with a smile: "Third Master, when you say this, I feel pity for them. They are so smart that they think everything is under control. But I never expected that existences with our status would actually appear in a small Muyang County. They are not the only ones who have this problem. Even if I think about it from their perspective, at most I think we are from a certain government. I never thought it would come from the state or county.”

Zhao Ping didn't say much, and looked calm: "Since they are so confident and want us to take action, then let them satisfy them and let Zhuang leave. Kill them all without leaving any one behind."

Hearing this, the steward was surprised: "Zhuang Li? Is he overqualified?"

Zhao Ping glanced at him lightly and said: "This chess game has gone wrong, which will inevitably reveal more surprises. The only way to overturn the chessboard is to leave no trace."

……

In the backyard of Zhao's family, in a small courtyard, a middle-aged man sat on the stone pier in the courtyard. The man looked lazy, wearing a blue linen robe and a knife on his waist. He had slender eyebrows and looked at the wind and leaves falling in the courtyard. Floating rapidly in the air, in an instant, his fingers were filled with fallen leaves. He threw them away at will. When these fallen leaves were thrown down, they seemed to be integrated with nature. The falling speed seemed to be separated from the branches and leaves. Floating and falling.
