He hated it!
The Lin family had already lost their heir, but the person who had caused it was not punished. Lin Fu felt depressed.
If that Courtesan Belle had been severely punished, he wouldnât have felt so bad.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, County Magistrate Zhang cowered. Not only did he cower, but he also cowered completely. He even drew a clear line with him.
This situation made his heart turn ashen. When he remembered that his family was already dead, his heart became even more complicated.
âI give you money every month, but you treat me like this.â
âOther people take money to do things, but you forget about it after taking money!â
Lin Fu gritted his teeth. His eyes were red, and his old face was filled with endless anger.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
It was as if the fire was about to rush out of his body, and he could not control
it at all.
He was old and his body was not in good condition. Lin Fu was angry and felt weak all over.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
âDonât come in! Do you treat my words as farts?â Lin Fu shouted.
No one dared to approach his courtyard, but at this moment, the door was pushed open and a masked man walked in.
âWho are you?â
No matter how angry he was, Lin Fu felt that something was wrong. Why would a masked stranger come in?
He returned to normal, his eyes filled with caution.
âOld Master Lin is very angryâŠâ Other than his hands, only his eyes could be seen. He lowered his voice and pretended to be hoarse.
âWhat do you mean? This is the Lin Manor.â Lin Fu was experienced in the business world. He had encountered this situation before, so he managed to maintain his composure.
âI came to see if you have any thoughts of avenging your son. âXu Bai said indifferently.
Revenge?
Lin Fu stood up instantly.
Did he want revenge?
Yes!
Even in his dreams, he thought,
Hearing this word, no matter how well he pretended, he could not help but react.
âIf you have something to say, just say it. What do you mean? What revenge?â Lin Fu forced himself to remain calm, but he still couldnât hide his emotions.
âYour only son is dead, but you canât avenge him. Do you feel aggrieved?âXu Bai said slowly.
Lin Fu did not say anything.
He looked straight at Xu Bai. No one knew what he was thinking.
âIn the end, the problem lies with County Magistrate Zhang. If he had helped you, how could you have ended up like this?âXu Bai said.
Lin Fu still didnât say anything, but from Xu Baiâs perspective, Lin Fuâs hands were clenched tightly.
âThere is no heir in the family. So what if you have a huge family fortune? His son was dead, and as a father, he couldnât avenge him. What kind of father was this?âXu Bai continued.
At this moment, Lin Fu finally reacted.
âDo you think I donât want revenge? Sheng County was the county town of County Magistrate Zhang alone. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. No one could deal with him.â
Of course, he wanted to take revenge, but he was held back by County Magistrate Zhang. How could he take revenge?
âPeople think of ways. As long as you want to do it, there will be a way.âXu Bai said with a smile.
âWhat is it?â Lin Fu asked.
At this point, he had already fallen into Xu Baiâs trap.
âAs long as you can take down Zhang, with your Lin familyâs power, itâs easy to kill a prostitute before the next county magistrate arrives. âXu Bai said slowly. Lin Fu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was in turmoil.
If County Magistrate Zhang heard this, he would be finished.
He had never even thought of this method because in his inherent thinking, the people would not fight with the officials.
However, after Xu Baiâs reminder, it was like a seed planted in the soil that gradually sprouted after being watered by rain.
It canât go away, and it canât be scattered.
Lin Fu swallowed hard and asked subconsciously, âHow can IâŠâ Take him down?â
The moment he asked, he immediately shut up.
âYou must know the amount of money youâve bribed better than anyone else. If this amount is made public, then no matter how capable he is, he wonât be able to reverse the situation. âXu Bai placed his hand on the long saber and said slowly.
âYouâre harming the Lin family. If something happens to the person who took the bribe, the person who bribed wonât have a good time either. âLin Fu said.
Although he said that, the feasibility of this plan had already appeared in his mind.
Sheng County was located in a remote area. It was a small county town. In Sheng County, County Magistrate Zhang could indeed cover the sky with one hand.
This plan was indeed good. Once the matter of County Magistrate Zhang taking bribes was exposed, the Great Chu State would definitely punish him severely.
A small county magistrate was gone.
Great Chu just develop period if this thing is exposed, will lead to the peopleâs hearts not stable, is to the emperor will never be soft.
Even without this small county magistrate, the emperor could still have the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
But⊠There was an important premise to this, and that was that the person who bribed him would also be severely punished.
Otherwise, why was County Magistrate Zhang so fearless?
Because everyone was tied to the same rope, if something happened, everyone would get into trouble together.
Lin Fu had to worry about the Lin family. If he really did this, it would definitely affect him.
âDo you still not understand what I mean? Everything has a reason. If you use your sonâs death as an excuse to do this, you will definitely be finished. âXu Bai shook his head.
Change the method?
Lin Fu felt that his brain wasnât enough.
No matter what method he used, he was bribing them.
Could he escape?
âThink about it carefully. If a person who has been bullied and forced to bribe really canât take it anymore and then sue County Magistrate Zhang, you will instead become a person who doesnât fear power. âXu Bai said straightforwardly.
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
Lin Fu seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of the matter. After a while, he asked, âWho are you?âââ
Now, he finally brought up the most important question.
âI have a grudge with County Magistrate Zhang. As for what it is, you donât have to ask. If I wanted to deal with you, I would have done it long ago.âXu Bai said.
He gave himself a reason. Otherwise, he would not be able to persuade this old fellow.
âGood!â Lin Fu finally made a decision.â I have an account book at home. I remember it clearly. When the time comes, Iâll bring it to the capital and make him suffer. âââ
He had already made up his mind. When he thought about how he could not even take revenge after his son died, and how he had no descendants, he could not help but feel angry.
In this day and age, those who were arrogant were afraid of death.
Lin Fu thought.
Xu Bai thought that Lin Fu could only write it down, but he didnât expect there to be a ledger.
A debt?
Even better!
âJust say that your sonâs death stirred up your thoughts of resistance, so you decided to announce this matter. That way, youâll be fine. Of course, thereâs still a process in between.âXu Bai extended his index finger.
âWhat process?â Lin Fu asked..
