Need for money

In the hall, Lin Jingzhi was sitting on the top, looking intently at the teacup in his hand, as if the pattern on it could come to life, he would take a sip after a long interval, then close his eyelids, savoring it carefully.

Shi Mo already knew about his master's plan on the way here, so he is no longer anxious now, but just stands quietly behind Lin Jingzhi, and when the water in the teacup is shallow, he quickly picks up the teapot and fills up some more. Light and brisk, not only did not spill half a drop of water, even when the teapot was put back on the table, there was no sound at all.

Originally, the official was very imposing, but as time passed, it gradually eased down. In the end, he only felt that the atmosphere in the silent hall was getting more and more oppressive. He was so stuffy that he had difficulty breathing. The young man didn't say a word, but there was an inexplicable coercion scattered from his body, and unconsciously, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Lin Jingzhi's name is well-known in Los Angeles. In addition to being successful in the examination at the age of 14, his talent has spread far and wide, and he is also extremely business-minded. Otherwise, the Lin family in Los Angeles would have been annexed by someone with a heart a few years ago.

Although this official had heard about Lin Jingzhi's deeds before, he always thought that he was just a half-grown child. How outrageous.

Before thinking about it, the higher-ups only wanted him to test the attitude and depth of the Lin family. With a slight turn of his eyes, his whole body bent down, and he was half-short. Jingzhi resisted, and breathing became much more comfortable.

"Huo Gengsheng, the villain, please greet the second master. The villain waited for too long before, and then he got angry and offended the second master. Please forgive the villain once."

"Damn, you blind dog, you got angry all of a sudden? How dare you get angry in front of the second master?" Shi Mo saw that the other party had softened, and immediately beat the dog with a stick.

He is a slave, so naturally he can be shameless, scold him however he wants, and scold him for nothing.

Although this Huo Gengsheng was spit all over his face, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, he still bowed his head and smiled apologetically: "Yes, the villain is blind, he shouldn't have offended the second master, or else , you hit me twice to vent your anger?"

After Huo Gengsheng finished speaking, he actually turned his left cheek forward.

Seeing that the official in front of him was subdued, Lin Jingzhi was not happy but worried. If someone was really stubborn today, and after provoking a few words to make him angry, he might be able to get some useful news from him, but now that he is here A treacherous one, I'm afraid there won't be any gains.

Knowing that it was useless to dwell on the little conflict just now, Lin Jingzhi simply put down his teacup and waved his hand, "Forget about the past, I'm not a person without measure."

Huo Gengsheng nodded repeatedly, flattered his lips, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the second master has a big heart and does great things. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

Lin Jingzhi was no longer in the mood to play tricks with this official, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Huo Yamen servant, what's the matter with you coming to my Lin residence today?"

"Back to the second master, the villain came to your mansion today, just to ask, is there someone making trouble in the Lin family's shop recently?" Huo Gengsheng still had a monkey face and a mean look on his face when he spoke, but his pair of His eyes, however, were fixed on Lin Jingzhi's face secretly, as if he wanted to see clearly from there whether there was any change in Lin Jingzhi's mood.

"No such thing!" From the beginning to the end, Lin Jingzhi's calm face showed no waves.

"No? But the villain heard people say that not long ago, a shopkeeper in your branch was beaten. It seemed to be quite serious, and he broke a leg." Huo Gengsheng said again.

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Lin Jingzhi frowned, his face turned cold again, but he secretly guessed in his heart, what tricks are Tian Ji and Wang Meng up to?

Why do you want to bring up the fact that shopkeeper Hu was beaten?

Did he want to see what the Lin family's attitude was towards this matter, or did he think about the next move to rectify the Lin family after the Lin family reported to the government?

Seeing Lin Jingzhi, Huo Gengsheng refused to admit it, and said without giving up, "No, I remember that one of my friends happened to be patrolling the streets that day, and he saw it with his own eyes."

"Oh? Why didn't he care then?"

Lin Jingzhi's words made Huo Gengsheng choked up and couldn't speak, yes, there is no reason to ignore it after seeing it with his own eyes, and then go to the mansion to inquire after the matter is over.

But before he came, the higher-ups had already told him to try his best to persuade Lin Jingzhi to report to the official. As long as he had a relationship with the official, it would be much easier to do anything, so he bit the bullet and said: "Really no Is this the case? Then why is that shop closed?"

"Second Master, I only know about this. It was the shopkeeper who accidentally broke his leg, and couldn't find a suitable person to take care of him for a while, so he closed the shop." interjected.

Lin Jingzhi secretly gave Shi Mo a look of approval, and then pretended to suddenly realize: "Well, if you didn't remind me, I almost forgot about it."

Huo Gengsheng saw that the master and servant were cooperating flawlessly, so he had no choice but to drop the topic, and said: "Second Master, actually, I have something to ask when I come here this time, but if there is something wrong, I'll let you know." Please don't be familiar with villains."

A trace of vigilance rose in Lin Jingzhi's heart, and his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, "Whatever, just say it."

"Second Master Xie doesn't blame you. That's what happened. Not long ago, someone handed over an anonymous certificate to the government office, saying that Third Master Lin had forcibly robbed two civilian girls as concubines in the street a few months ago, and the two The women of the people are already married."

"What? There is such a thing? This bastard, the face of the Lin family, has been completely embarrassing!" Lin Jingzhi slapped the table hard, and the shaking tea bowl jumped high, then he turned his head and looked at the waiter. Mo asked sharply, "Do you know about this?"

When Huo Gengsheng said that there was one more thing to ask, Lin Jingzhi was really worried in his heart, for fear that the other party would catch something, but after hearing that it was this matter, he was relieved for a long time. It's a fluke, if he hadn't been careful a few days ago and thoroughly investigated Lin Lizhi, the Lin family might suffer a big loss this time.

Those two aunts were sent out of Luocheng by Shi Mo himself, so naturally they would not say they knew about it at this time, "Back to the second master, I have never heard of this matter before."

"Oh? Have you never heard of it?" Lin Jingzhi asked again, pretending.

Shi Mo quickly replied: "No."

"Second Lord, this matter is absolutely true, and the nameless certificate is still in the hands of my family." Huo Gengsheng stepped forward and said with certainty.

'Anonymous? Lin Jingzhi sneered in his heart, he was afraid that this nameless letter was written by your lord, "Have you checked it out, it was indeed done by the third master?"

"This?" Huo Gengsheng's breath was stagnant when he heard the words, and a trace of flush appeared on his face. They really found out about this matter, but they couldn't prove it, because all the family members of the victim had disappeared. After a little hesitation, Huo Gengsheng suddenly Said with a sure face:

"Back to the second master, this matter is absolutely true, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to investigate."

Hearing this, Lin Jingzhi and Shi Mo looked at each other, both of them were a little baffled, both of them couldn't understand why Huo Gengsheng suddenly changed his tone, and said with such certainty, could it be that the two aunts were killed with their family members? Chased back?

Lin Jingzhi shook his head secretly, it's impossible, if they were chased back, the two aunts would fall into the hands of each other, how could Huo Gengsheng let him track him down in the mansion, "It's not that I didn't investigate, but that the third master He was not in good health a few days ago, and was sent by the old matriarch to recuperate in the village outside the city, and the concubines around him also followed him."

As the sound fell to the ground, a light suddenly flashed in Huo Gengsheng's eyes. Although Lin Jingzhi pretended to be drinking tea, his eyes were still fixed on his face. Not only did this light not escape Lin Jingzhi's eyes, And it also made Lin Jingzhi instantly understand why Huo Gengsheng's tone changed drastically before, he was very sure, and he seemed to be convinced that he would definitely investigate.

Everything is on Lin Lizhi's body!
