spn "Let's talk about it, what should we do about this matter?"

In the Lin family's meeting hall, Lin Jingtian, a group of elders, and several principals in the outer hall all looked solemn. During the discussion, Lin Jingtian asked in a deep voice.

But as soon as these words came out, everyone who was talking about it immediately shut their mouths. Even the Sixth Elder, who has always been the most irritable, couldn't say a word, and almost everyone had a bitter look on their faces.

Lin Jingtian sighed secretly, "I have already sent someone to inform Lin Feng and Lin Yun of this matter, I hope they can make it in time, before the deadline comes..."

"Patriarch!" Lin Jingtian hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, a housekeeper hurried in. [

Lin Jingtian couldn't help frowning, "Butler Liu, haven't I said before that you are not allowed to come in during the discussion... Forget it, tell me, what's the matter in such a panic?"

Butler Liu bowed and apologized to everyone, and then said happily: "Patriarch, all the elders, it is the eldest lady and the second young master who have returned!"

"Hey! Lin Xue and Lin Ze are back?" Lin Jingtian was taken aback for a moment.

At the same time, the elders and principals were also greatly surprised, and immediately rejoiced.

"Well, it's just in time to come back."

"As long as Lin Xue is around, the Lin family will be saved."

"Yes, now only Lin Xue can turn the tide."

Afterwards, under the gaze of everyone, two figures followed into the meeting room, it was Lin Ze and Lin Xue.

"Father, we are back." The two came to the hall and bowed.

"Okay, it's good to be back, it's good to be back..." Lin Jingtian stepped forward, patted the shoulders of the two, and said with relief.

Then, after a few greetings with the elders, Lin Ze didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Father, when we came back just now, we found the atmosphere in the house a bit heavy, and... did something happen?"

Lin Jingtian looked at the two of them, then looked at Butler Liu who was standing in a corner with his head bowed, and finally returned his gaze to Lin Ze and asked, "What do you know now?"

"On the way here, Steward Liu told me that the family's business has been frequently hit by the Lou family recently, especially in the past three months, the Lin family has reached an unprecedented loss, and... Lin Chen is disabled." Lin Ze said in a deep voice, and after he finished speaking, he clenched his hands tightly.

Lin Ze doesn't understand business matters, but in business, it is normal to have profits and losses. There is nothing to make a fuss about. With the financial resources of the Lin family, even if they lose money for half a year, it is difficult to shake the foundation.

However, Lin Chen was disabled, no matter how you look at it, it is a problem that cannot be ignored.

Along the way just now, Steward Liu didn't speak clearly, but only vaguely told them the fact, but he didn't say what happened specifically, so Lin Ze had no choice but to temporarily suppress his inner emotions and look at him with a questioning look. Looking at his father and the elders around him.

As soon as they heard Lin Ze's words, the joy that the elders had just felt disappeared immediately, and their faces were full of regret.Lin Chen, as a representative of the younger generation of the Lin family, is also one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Lin family in the past 200 years. His future prospects are limitless, but now he is disabled. No one knows what this means.

It is absolutely impossible for a disabled person to do anything in martial arts!

Lin Jingtian sighed heavily, and then told the two about what happened to the Lin family in the past six months. [

The conflict between the Lin family and the Lou family has always existed. Since decades ago, the struggle between the two families has never stopped. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

It's just that both of them are in the process of development, and a large-scale battle will not only bring victory for themselves, but will cause both sides to decline rapidly, and then others will gain the power of fisherman.Therefore, the two families have always been extremely restrained in this regard. Apart from the intrigue in the business field and behind the scenes, on the surface they are still indifferent.

The Lin family's business has always been very concentrated, mainly selling silk, ceramics and medicinal materials. Although there are also some hotel pawnshops in Tianhe City, these are only secondary, purely for the purpose of reducing daily expenses.As for the business of the Lou family, they have a wide range of businesses. Escort agencies, brothels, hotels, and all kinds of business, anyway, they do almost all of them that can make money.

It's just that in terms of time, the Lou family is a new family, and its background is nearly a hundred years behind the Lin family's accumulation. Therefore, even if the Lou family is getting stronger and stronger, it will not be able to hit the Lin family in terms of major business.

But this situation changed half a year ago.

That is, not long after Lin Zelin Xue left the Lin family and went to the dark forest, the Lou family got foreign aid from somewhere, and their power suddenly became much larger, first of all in the business field.

The Lou family, which was only slightly involved in silk medicinal materials, has started to focus on this aspect. It has invested a lot of money to open dozens of stores, and then a steady stream of goods comes in. I don’t know where they come from. The source of goods obtained, in short... This move of the Lou family immediately caused a huge impact on the business of silk and medicinal materials in Tianhe City.

Facing this kind of shock, several small families who only depended on silk medicinal materials for their livelihood couldn't hold on any longer. In desperation, they turned to Lou's family one after another.

The Lin family has a big business, and although it has also suffered a lot of shocks, it will not be hurt after all. In addition, there is Lin De, a genius in the mall, and the background accumulated over the years. After that, it gradually began to improve and return to normal.

But the actions of the Lou family did not stop there. A month later, the caravans of the Lin family began to be hijacked frequently.

You must know that the Lin family has been operating in Tianhe City for more than 200 years, and it has already been deeply rooted. As the real overlord of Tianhe City, ordinary robbers would not dare to put their hearts on the Lin family's caravan. , the Lin family caravan encountered more than in the past ten years.

Moreover, this group of hijacked people are masters who came out of nowhere, they moved quickly, and they were extremely decisive in both attacking and retreating. Even if the caravan was escorted by a strong alchemist, it would be difficult to react in time.

In addition, they are not like ordinary robbers who rob, but the Lord is destroying.Every time they encounter, at least half of the goods transported by the Lin family caravan will be lost, and sometimes the entire army will be wiped out.

With less goods, the Lin family's business naturally plummeted. Except for some old customers who have cooperated with them for many years, the Lin family's business field suddenly shrank, and immediately entered a serious loss state.

But this is still secondary, the most important thing is the business between the Lin family and the imperial capital.

Originally in Tianhe City, only the Lin family was doing business in the imperial capital, and no other businesses had the confidence.But since this incident happened, the Lin family had insufficient supply, while the Lou family was on the contrary, so most of the business was robbed by the Lou family at once.

The problem of the supply of goods cannot be solved, so that the Lin family is really in a state of being hurt.

In order to solve this problem, the first thing the Lin family had to deal with was the group of robbers who came out of nowhere.

However, before the Lin family started to deal with it, the Lou family played the most important card at this moment to settle the old score!

First of all, it was Lin Xue's account. After learning that Lin Ze might become a waste, Lin Xue rushed to the bodyguard of the Lou family in a rage and abolished the cultivation bases of several Lou family disciples with other surnames.For this account, the Lou family gave up after shouting a few times, giving people the feeling that it was anticlimactic, but now, when the business of the Lin family was severely hit, the Lou family moved out.

Secondly, it is also the deadliest accounting talent!

At the beginning, Lou Juncai wanted to plot against Lin Yao, but was beheaded by Lin Ze with a sword. Lin Ze threw his body in the back mountain. Several months passed, his body should have been eaten by wild beasts long ago. . [

But who knows, the Lou family moved out Lou Juncai's body, identified Lin Ze as the murderer, questioned Master Lin Jiaxing again, and at the same time publicized it in Tianhe City.

Lin Ze didn't mention Lou Juncai's matter to anyone, and Lin Yao didn't talk about it, so of course the Lin family dismissed Lou's accusation.

In addition, Lou Juncai's character and style in Tianhe City are well known to passers-by. Who knows how he died, maybe he molested a woman who shouldn't be molested, but was killed instead, and he deserved to die.It would be too much of a joke for the Lou family to identify Lin Ze as the murderer by just bringing up a dead body.

However, just when everyone thought so, a mountain guard from the Lin family stood up and confirmed what the Lou family said was true.According to what he said, he saw with his own eyes that Lou Juncai strayed into the back mountain of Lin's house and was bumped into by Lin Ze. Then, because of the conflict a few days ago, Lin Ze brutally killed Lou Juncai and dumped his body in the mountains.

As soon as these words came out, the situation of the Lin family suddenly turned bad. They never thought that the mountain guards would rebel and join the Lou family.

Although Lin Yao later came out to refute the rumors, it didn't work.After all, Lin Yao is Lin Ze's younger sister, and her words for her brother may not be credible, but the words of the guardian of the mountain are more trustworthy.

Killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course. This is a rule that even people in the Jianghu have to abide by. As for how to pay, of course it depends on strength and influence.

The Lou family held all the evidence in their hands, and it was only natural that they wanted to seek justice from the Lin family.

So logically, the Lou family began to persecute the Lin family, asking them to hand over Lin Ze and Lin Xue.

This is of course impossible, not to mention that Lin Xue and Lin Ze were not in the Lin family, even if they were both, the Lin family would not hand them over.

Obviously, the Lou family only made such a request when they knew that the two were not there. Otherwise, Lou Juncai would have been dead for several months, and the Lou family would have held his body for a long time. Why did they move out at this time?

It's not just to deal a fatal blow to the Lin family.

The fact is that the turmoil is out of control, and the two families almost want to start a war, but the subsequent development has taken unexpected changes... Just when the war between Lin's family and Lou's family was on the verge of breaking out, the state of Jin... People from the royal family and the Ye family, one of the five great families of Jin, came one after another, wanting to calm things down.

The Lin family and the Lou family, the battle between two second-rate families, unexpectedly attracted the attention of the Jin royal family and the first-rate family Ye family.

But this strange thing really happened.

The Lou family backed down first, and under the mediation of the Jin royal family and the Ye family, declared that the matter was caused by the younger generation, so let the younger generation solve it by themselves.

The Lou family set up a ring, and only the younger generations of the two families are allowed to fight. As long as someone from the Lin family can defeat their representative of the Lou family, the matter will be revealed.

The Lou family's generosity surprised everyone, and they gained a great reputation for a while.However, the Lin family is not a fool. At this moment, they finally understand why the Lou family has become so powerful all of a sudden... Behind the Lou family is not only the royal family of Jin, but also the Ye family, one of the five great families of Jin!

This was premeditated!

But the matter has come to this point, and other things are useless, the Lin family can only fight, otherwise the Lin family will offend the Jin royal family and the Ye family at the same time. At that time, with the two huge forces coming down, the Lin family will definitely be wiped out.

The strongest among the younger generation of the Lin family is Lin Feng and Lin Yun, but the two have been away for many years, and even the Lin family doesn't know their whereabouts.The next ones are Lin Chen and Lin Xue, and Lin Xue is not there, of course, only Lin Chen can play in the Lin family.

But the problem is that some time ago, in order to deal with the robbers who robbed the caravan, Lin Chen was seriously injured, and he has not recovered until now. It is too dangerous to fight with the injury, knowing the purpose of the Lou family.

Fortunately, the younger generation of the Lou family is far behind the Lin family. The most powerful of them is Lou Zhanming, the son of Lou Wangsheng, the head of the Lou family. He is now 22 years old and has the strength of the eighth level of Qi refining.

Lou Zhanming's aptitude is mediocre, the eighth level of qi refining is the eighth level of qi refining, but Lin Chen is a rare genius in the Lin family, the strength of the eighth level of qi refining is enough to challenge the warriors of the ninth level of qi refining, even if he is injured, It may not be lost to Lou Zhanming.

Unless the Lou family is shameless enough to invite young disciples from the Ye family and the Jin royal family to compete on stage.

But to everyone's surprise, the contestant was not Lou Zhanming, nor the Ye family or the Jin royal family, but Tang Yue, a young female disciple of the Shuiyue Sect.

This Tangyue is less than 20 years old, and her strength is already at the ninth level of Qi Refining. It can be seen that her talent is excellent, and more importantly, she is also Lou Zhanming's fiancée. She has already been engaged, so she can be regarded as a member of the Lou family.

Therefore, although she is a member of the Shuiyue faction, she is qualified to fight on behalf of the Lou family.

The result was obvious, Lin Chen was defeated, but defeat was defeat, the Lin family had nothing to say.Lin Chen only had the eighth level of Qi Refining and was wounded, so it was only natural that he couldn't beat Tangyue.

But what Lin Jiafa endured was that Tangyue had a vicious heart, and she was clearly winning, but instead played tricks. When Lin Chen was careless, she severely injured him with one move, and even forcibly broke two of his hamstrings. , causing Lin Chen to become disabled.

A generation of geniuses has thus been reduced to useless people.
