Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 110 Forced
  The next morning, Jia Qiang came to the martial arts training ground. He was holding Lin's treasured gun in his hand and recalling the contents of "Lin's Gun Book" in his mind.

He didn't aim too high, but started practicing again from the basics.

Although there is a lot of content in "Lin Family Gun Book", he can memorize it with his spirit after reading it twice. This is also the confidence for him to dare to participate in the provincial examination.

Lin's treasured spear is raised horizontally, there are no fancy moves, there are just different ways of exerting force.

He is making up for the lack of basic skills. Compared with the marksmanship in "The Book of Acting Soldiers", his marksmanship is improving at an unusual speed.

The martial arts training ground was some distance away from other buildings. Although Lin's treasured gun made a harsh sound from time to time in his hand, it would not disturb other people.

This practice lasted for an hour. Don't underestimate this short hour. He practiced the basic spear skills of "Lin Family Spear Manual" one by one. Although he has not yet completely integrated it into his own spear art system, he will do it in the future. The only thing is that with continuous practice, his shortcomings in this area will become less and less.

Jia Qiang returned to the room with Lin's treasured gun. Today's practice made his whole body clear.

You must know that for such a long time, because he didn't have a big gun, he couldn't practice the big gun with all his strength.

As for weapons like big guns, the most important thing is the application of strength and skills. If you don't use them with all your strength, you will always feel like you can't let go.

Siyu fetched water, helped him wash up, and then put on plain clothes.

Before he could go to Lin Ruhai's place to say hello, he met Lin Ruhai on the way there. This made him very embarrassed, as if he had been caught sleeping in.

"Brother Qiang, I even forgot about your martial arts practice. You can't eat as lightly as we do. If you have any requests, just ask the old housekeeper!" Lin Ruhai didn't mean to blame him. Lin Ruhai knew about his martial arts practice in the morning and took the initiative to mention it.

Jia Qiang does not have the needs of ordinary martial arts practitioners in terms of nutritional supplements.

After practicing the 'Taixu Meridian', his body's supplements are obtained through the operation of mana, which is more direct and more high-end than extracting nutrients directly from food.

"I do have some needs!" Jia Qiang nodded and replied.

He thought of the medicine needed for the "Ten Thousand Jun Bone Refining Technique" and asked Old Butler Lin to help him buy it so that he could try to practice the "Ten Thousand Jun Bone Refining Technique".

Lin Ruhai was very happy that Jia Qiang had a request, and he hoped that Jia Qiang would not regard him as an outsider.

Ever since Jia Qiang said that she was willing to name Lin Daiyu's second son Lin, Lin Ruhai was ready to leave everything in the Lin family to Jia Qiang.

The two of them walked and talked. When they came to the main room, they saw three uncles and several young people following them.

"Did you come a little early?" Lin Ruhai asked slightly dissatisfied.

It's still early to worship ancestors. Previously, it was the direct lineage of the Lin family. It doesn't matter if the three major branches come here.

"Ruhai, we are here this time because we have something important to discuss with you!" The uncle seemed not to notice Lin Ruhai's displeasure and said with a smile.

"Then let's go into the house, but we don't have much time, so we can't delay the time of worshiping our ancestors!" Lin Ruhai said as he led a few people into the main house.

After entering the main room, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Qiang to sit next to him. He sat in the main seat, while the three uncles sat at the bottom, and several young people stood behind them.

When the three uncles saw Jia Qiang sitting down, their inner dissatisfaction became even more serious.

How could Jia Qiang's seniority sit so rudely while her elders were talking? Even if Lin Ruhai agreed, it would not be rude to consult the three elders for their opinions.

"Ruhai, according to old principles, your uncle, who is just engaged, shouldn't participate in ancestor worship!" The uncle was the first to ask.

"I have no children. Jia Qiang is my disciple and son-in-law. She is considered my half-son. What's the problem with participating in ancestor worship?" Lin Ruhai asked calmly.

"There are still people in our Lin family, how can we allow outsiders to participate in ancestor worship!" The second uncle couldn't sit still and said in a deep voice.

"When will it be the branch's turn to talk about my main lineage?" Lin Ruhai looked at his second uncle with cold eyes and said.

He finally figured out that these three people came here to cause trouble.

This was what he was most worried about in the past. He was not afraid of the dangers he faced while serving as an official outside. It was a sacrifice for great work and the pursuit of a scholar.

But he always thought that if he and Jia Min fell, his daughter Lin Daiyu would face difficulties from the Lin family branch.

The practice of eating has been around since ancient times. No matter how much status or status you have, as long as you give other people a chance, they will come and take a bite for the sake of profit.

At that time, he had considered sending Lin Daiyu to the Jia Mansion in the capital. With the protection of the Jia Mansion and the silver he left behind, he would be able to ensure that his daughter would be safe.

As for the property in Lin's ancestral home, let them go and take it if they want.

But after having Jia Qiang, especially after having a heart-to-heart talk with Jia Qiang yesterday, Lin Ruhai made new arrangements for everything in the direct lineage of the Lin family. Everything here belongs to her daughter and son-in-law, and no one else is allowed to interfere.

The most important thing is that Jia Qiang has the ability to keep her property. It doesn't matter even if Lin Ruhai falls.

Lin Ruhai knew better that when the three uncles said that Jia Qiang would not be allowed to participate in ancestor worship, they were clearly talking about ancestor worship, but they were actually talking about inheritance.

He did not expect that before anything happened to him, with his official position and good health, these three uncles would come to threaten him. If he and Jia Min fell down, what would happen to his daughter Lin Daiyu.

Thinking of this, he became even more angry, but this anger did not show up despite being an official for a long time.

"The Lin family is not yours alone. If the main line has no descendants, there will naturally be branches to adopt. This time I brought a few young people from the family over. Ruhai, you choose one of them to adopt. Don't break the main line of the Lin family. Incense!" Uncle Bo Tuqiong appeared and said.

This time he not only brought his second uncle's third son and third uncle's second son, but also the other two people who were close to him.

He also coveted Lin Ruhai's family property. When the branches jointly threatened the main line, he would definitely get a share of the pie.

"Remember, what is given to you is yours, and what is not given to you, you will not get a penny!" Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice.

He looked at the four young people, who were timid and timid, without any grace or courage, and they even thought of passing them on to him.

"Ruhai, we are a family after all. No matter what this kid is, he is still a foreigner, and the Lin family still needs the Lin family to inherit it!" The third uncle would not give up, he continued to persuade.

"Isn't this kid interested in your family property? It's not like our own family is here for family inheritance!" The uncle nodded and said.

"Do you really think Jia Qiang cares about the Lin family's property?" Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile as if he heard something particularly funny.

"Isn't it?" the uncle replied.

The uncle had his own ideas and came together to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival before they got married. This shows that Jia Qiang did not participate in his own ancestor worship.

As long as it is a big family, it will pay special attention to ancestor worship. Jia Qiang's identity cannot be from a big family.

"Haha, how could Brother Qiang take such a small amount of Lin family's fortune into consideration?" Lin Ruhai did not explain too much. The main reason is that Jia Qiang wants to keep his identity secret, and he doesn't want too many people to know.

Think about it, Jia Qiang is a first-grade Viscount. This kind of title, let alone in Suzhou, is a top lord even in places where powerful people gather in the capital.

Jia Qiang's family property, earned this time in Jiangnan alone, is what many big families have accumulated over hundreds of years.

Lin Ruhai, the salt patrol censor, has experienced a lot of silver in his hands, and he can also get some benefits from it, but the real benefits he gets from it are far less than what Jia Qiang gained in a short period of time.

Among them, the 50,000 salt envoys were able to seize food from the three major salt merchants by taking advantage of the name of the imperial envoy and coincidentally confiscating a large amount of private salt from the three major salt merchants before issuing the salt envelope.

Even so, Lin Ruhai almost paid the price of her daughter's death.

In real terms, the Lin family's property, except for the silver hidden in Lin Ruhai's hands, probably does not exceed one hundred thousand taels.

The greatest wealth of the Lin family is actually the collection of books and the inheritance of general training techniques.

The book collection was completely opened to Jia Qiang, and the inheritance of the sect's cultivation techniques was given to Jia Qiang. It can be said that the inheritance of the main line of the Lin family was left to Jia Qiang only with a name.

The reason why Lin Ruhai gave this name to Jia Qiang was for the future Lin Daiyu's second son. With this name, he could take over Lin Ruhai and the political resources left by the Lin family as the main line of the Lin family. use.

In fact, if the attitudes of the three major branches of the Lin family were better, Lin Ruhai wouldn't mind sharing some benefits.

But the more forced the three branches are, the less willing he is to share his wealth with these people.

The three uncles looked at Jia Qiang, their eyes full of hatred. The young people behind them also regarded Jia Qiang as the person who stole their happiness.

"It's almost time, we have to worship our ancestors at home!" Lin Ruhai picked up the teacup in front of him and gestured.

"Ruhai, don't regret it!" The uncle stood up and said in a deep voice.

Although the second uncle and the third uncle said nothing, the hatred in their eyes was very obvious.

"A group of clowns, I have benefited my neighbors over the years, but I never expected to develop such a character as theirs!" Lin Ruhai sighed and said to Jia Qiangshu as he watched the people leaving.

"It's not worth getting angry with them. Teacher, you still need to take care of yourself!" Jia Qiang advised.

Lin Ruhai was just a little depressed. It would be impossible to say that these people had any great influence on him.

Later, according to the procedure, Jia Qiang participated in the ancestor worship of the main line as the son-in-law. In fact, he did not need to do anything. He only needed to kowtow incense according to the instructions of old housekeeper Lin.

After going through the process, it was the turn of all the Lin clan to worship their ancestors.

Of course, in addition to worshiping their ancestors, there is also the most important thing for these Lin clan members, which is to have a feast at the main line's house.

The three uncles participated in the ancestor worship and meal as if nothing happened.

Jia Qiang did not take any action because of the malice shown by these uncles and nephews towards him. This was an ancestor worship ceremony, and he did not want to affect Lin Ruhai's mood.

He didn't take these people seriously. In his opinion, this was just a ridiculous little move.

He was busy just for this day, and he did not need to participate in the subsequent events, not even the female family members at home.

Although Old Butler Lin had also been busy all day, in the evening, he delivered the medicinal materials Jia Qiang mentioned in the morning.

Jia Qiang got the medicinal materials for practicing the 'Wanjun Bone Refining Technique' and returned to the guest room where she lived.

He picked through the medicinal materials, found out the amount of medicine, and asked Siyu to help brew it.

He was not too nervous during this training. He had practiced the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' nine times, which gave him a strong tolerance for the pain of practicing the general body refining technique.

It's just that he still needs to find a training environment, and there is no such condition in the Lin family's old residence.

After the medicine was ready, he opened the silk rain and stored the medicine in the inventory.

He said hello to old housekeeper Lin, rode on his white horse and left the Lin family's old house.

Just as he was leaving the Lin family's old house, he was seen by a person outside the door. When the person saw him, he ran away immediately.

Jia Qiang rode the white horse without letting up his speed. Before leaving, he asked old housekeeper Lin and found out that there was a cliff in the mountains outside Lin's Village.

There were the huge rocks he needed, and the necessary items for practicing the general body-refining technique were stored in his inventory for a long time, including iron sand packed in big bags.

He needs to find a suitable boulder and use the 'Qingfeng Sword' to cut it into a suitable shape to use as external pressure during cultivation.

Of course, there is no need to find a two thousand kilogram boulder. The two goddess statues weigh one thousand kilograms and can serve as half of the load.

He also needs to wait until it gets completely dark before he can practice formally, so he still has plenty of time.

Just when he left the village, he found a dozen men running from the village, holding various farm tools in their hands.

"Kill him, this kid who wants to rob the Lin family's property!" The leader was a young man, he shouted.

Jia Qiang was slightly startled. He did not expect to encounter such a thing again.

That young man was one of the young men behind the three uncles, and it seemed that he was doing it for the Lin family's property.

In this young man's mind, as long as Jia Qiang is killed, Lin Ruhai must find someone from the Lin clan to continue his relationship.

Among several candidates, he is the only one who has read several years of schooling. He is literate and good-looking. I believe that Lin Ruhai can definitely choose him.

As for beating people to death, this kind of thing is nothing in the countryside. Then the village can just push a fool out to take the blame, or spend some money to buy someone to take the blame.

He had never thought whether the people he led could beat Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang lightly patted the white horse. The white horse understood what he meant and suddenly accelerated towards the dozen or so people.

Jia Qiang didn't even move on the horse, letting the white horse kick left and right. After a while, more than a dozen people fell to the ground, and the least injured ones had a broken bone.

A white horse of the third level of good quality is more powerful than a jackal, tiger or leopard to these ordinary people.
