Chapter 355 Lin Yu’s Marriage
Chapter 355 Lin Yu’s Marriage
"Chief, Magistrate Lin has returned."
A Lin family spy walked into the house and said.
"So fast? It seems that the bandits were not eliminated."
Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and frowned slightly.
If these bandits rob the people of their food, then they will get less, and they must find a way to get rid of them.
"No, the city guards who came back said that all the bandits have been wiped out."
The family spy then spoke.
"puff!"
Lin Xiao just drank the tea and spit it out in the blink of an eye.
"Are you sure? You can wipe out the bandits in just one day?"
There are often rogue bandits in Daqian, and they are notoriously difficult to deal with.
Even if the Qingzhou Army is dispatched, it will take at least more than a month to solve it.
And this time there are more than 400 bandits in Minfeng County. Even if Lin Xiaofan has extraordinary abilities, it will take several days to eliminate them, right?
"It's absolutely true, this matter has spread in the city. At the same time, Lin Xiaofan learned that many people died fighting for him, and ordered each family to be rewarded with ten taels of silver and provide a job."
The spy continued.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, these are trivial matters.
"You go down first. Yu'er, let's go find Magistrate Lin and celebrate his victory."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then said.
After leaving the family, the streets were still a little deserted. In order to prevent accidents from happening, Lin Xiao brought a total of twenty guards with him this time.
The distance between the Lin family and the Yamen was not far, but they arrived within a moment. Lin Xiao bumped into Wang Cheng who had just left the Yamen.
"Clan Leader Lin."
When Wang Cheng saw this, he pulled the person next to him and bowed.
After the incident at the restaurant last time, the two of them had not contacted each other again, and their relationship was not as strong as before.
"Chief Wang, you are well informed about the news in this city. As soon as County Magistrate Lin came back, he found the Yamen."
Lin Xiao said, but secretly scolded the other party, the old fox, for being one step ahead of him.
"I just happened to see Magistrate Lin when I was passing by the city gate. Magistrate Lin has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits. As the head of the Wang family, I must come to congratulate him."
Wang Cheng nodded and left immediately, seemingly unwilling to talk to Lin Xiao.
After the previous incident, he finally understood that Lin Xiao didn't care about the life and death of their family at all. If they hadn't had evidence of corruption in the Lin family, the two families would have fallen out by now.
In the yamen, Lin Xiaofan was talking to Huang Hong about the Lian Nu. When he heard that Lin Xiao was coming, he quickly took the bamboo slips next to him.
"The talented Magistrate Lin has wiped out the rogue bandits that Minfeng County had been unable to deal with for months overnight. Congratulations."
Lin Xiao's people arrived before they even made a sound.
"Haha, it's just a group of bandits, and the group of wine bags and rice bags in Minfeng County can't solve it. Chief Lin, do you have a lot of guards in the Lin family?"
Lin Xiaofan went out to greet them and saw the Lin family guards almost occupying the corridor. He couldn't help but sigh.
"There may still be danger in this city. I brought guards here to protect Magistrate Lin."
Lin Xiao laughed and fooled him, and then continued:
"County Magistrate Lin, you have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits. I want to give you a banquet to celebrate your victory. What do you think?"
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he also smiled and declined:
"Clan Chief Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but I have an appointment tonight. Let's discuss the celebration another day."
"County Magistrate Lin, how about we have a banquet tomorrow? To be honest, I recently got a jar of good wine. When the time comes, let's drink together."
Lin Xiao continued.
"Clan Chief Lin, I have something to do tomorrow. The previous Chengzheng of the Wang family was disobedient and was replaced by me. Tomorrow I will discuss with the Royal Clan Chief the candidate for the new Chengzheng."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Have you decided on this?"
Lin Xiao was immediately moved.
Cheng Zheng controls the City Guards. If they can get into the hands of the Lin family, the Lin family's power will further expand.
"It's almost settled. Magistrate Lin, the royal family leader gave me a heavy gift before, so I really can't give you this position."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to explain, while observing Lin Xiao's expression.
The latter's expression changed immediately, and after a long time he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
When everyone in the Lin family walked out of the Yamen, Lin Xiao was not in high spirits.
Before arriving, Duanmu Liangchuan had said that the Yan family might cooperate with Lin Xiaofan to take their place.
Although he understood that the Yan family was not a threat, the Wang family and the Xiang family were some threats to their family.
The power of these two families is only slightly weaker than that of his family. If they join forces, the Lin family may really be unable to withstand them.
When Lin Yu saw Lin Xiao's appearance, he thought it was because Lin Xiaofan didn't attend the banquet. , immediately said:
"This Lin Xiaofan is really ungrateful. We invited him to the banquet to give him face, but he refused over and over again."
"You traitor!"
Lin Xiao immediately cursed, then looked around to make sure no one heard him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't you even think about it. If it weren't for County Magistrate Lin, would you be able to achieve this position? Think before you speak from now on. You are not young anymore. In a few years, the family will be handed over to you. .”
"From now on, read more books when you have time, and don't hang out with those bad friends every day."
Hearing that the family was going to be handed over to him, Lin Yu's face immediately showed joy:
"Dad, I understand."
When you become the clan leader, won’t all the family’s money belong to you?
When the time comes, first redeem the bodies of the top brass in the brothel and get them into your own home.
Thinking of the happy days ahead, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"You are also eighteen this year. So, in these few days, I will find a marriage for you and get married first."
Lin Xiao said.
Many in the family are younger than Lin Yu, and their children can already walk.
The reason why he had not found a marriage partner for Lin Yu before was because his reputation was so bad that he couldn't even bring himself to propose marriage.
In recent years, his reputation has improved a little, and since he is still in charge of the book, he can find a marriage.
When Lin Yu heard that he was going to marry a wife, he immediately said:
"Dad, I want to marry Xiang Yan of the Xiang family, what do you think?"
A year ago, he had thoughts about Xiang Yan, but the other party remained unmoved by him.
Later, he tried to use force, but his plan was revealed. Not only did he not succeed, he was also beaten.
"Xiang Yan?"
Lin Xiao frowned when he heard this. He still had some impressions of this woman. Her appearance was natural, and she was well-educated and courteous.
Let Lin Yu marry Xiang Yan, and the Lin family and the Xiang family will marry, and their Lin family's status will be more stable.
It's just that the nasty thing his son once did made him embarrassed to propose marriage to the prime minister's family.
Moreover, Xiang Zheng, the head of the Xiang family, had verbally decided on Xiang Yan’s marriage, asking her to marry that boy from the Wang family. If he crosses the line, he will offend the Wang family to death.
At that time, if the Wang family's dog jumps over the wall, then...
"Dad, I have fallen in love with Xiang Yan. I don't want to marry anyone but her."
Seeing Lin Xiao's hesitation, Lin Yu began to plead.
"You... don't worry, Xiangyan will be Xiangyan. In a few days, I will go to the Xiang's house to propose marriage to you."
After Lin Yu thought for a moment, he agreed.
