Lin Mo had never doubted it, but even Lin Zhan himself said so, so he had to dispel his doubts.
Now that Zhou Chang went to Liufeng City with explosives and people, Lin Mo always felt that this matter was not easy.
"You mean that Zhou Chang went to Liufeng City because of my father?" Lin Mo asked with a frown.
"The old slave can't be sure, but the old slave can be sure that the Patriarch's injury was not caused by a strange beast, but man-made, and that all the people who went to Liufeng City in Sedum were taken away by Zhou Chang." Yan Bo looked serious. Said.
From this point of view, there are many doubts about Father Lin's death, most likely because of the people in Liufeng City.
As for why he didn't say anything, it was probably because he was afraid of revenge from his predecessor.
A father doesn't want his son to risk revenge, so it's not incomprehensible to hide the reason for his death.
As for Zhou Chang, if he really wanted to go to Liufeng City to avenge Father Lin, he would be determined to die.
He felt weird when Zhou Chang left, but now it seems that Zhou Chang had decided to avenge Father Lin at that time.
"This! Uncle Yan, do you think Zhou Chang wants to avenge my father! Do you think Zhou Chang is willing to die for my father?"
Uncle Yan sighed slightly, and said, "Zhou Chang is the schoolboy of the Patriarch. He grew up with the Patriarch and has a deep relationship with him. It is very possible that he would do such a thing."
Lin Mo touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and said, "Uncle Yan should have known about it a long time ago."
Yan Bo was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I guessed it before, but I'm not sure."
"Haha, I think Bo Yan, you are afraid that I will do stupid things with Zhou Chang." Lin Mo laughed.
Yan Bo was silent, his eyes flickered, it was obvious that Lin Mo was right.
Before, he was afraid that Lin Mo would be dazzled by hatred, so he kept hiding it.
But it is different now, he has become a martial artist, and the Lin family will have more and more martial artists in the future, and Lin Mo's temper is not as reckless as he imagined, so he believes that Lin Mo will definitely make the right decision.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo said: "Uncle Yan, you should go to Liufeng City to see how Zhou Chang and the others are doing. If they haven't acted yet, then bring them back. If they are dead, then Just investigate the real cause of my father's death."
"Yes, this old slave understands." Yan Bo said.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Uncle Yan, you must ensure your safety, and you must come back within ten days. I still need you here."
After Yan Bo left, Lin Mo lay on the rocking chair, recalling the memory of Father Lin.
Lin Zhan is a qualified father, and he is very loving to his predecessor. It may also be because of the early death of his mother, Lin Zhan's father's love is a little more tender.
Even if his predecessor's talent was not good, he still didn't feel disgusted in the slightest, and took good care of him. Every time he returned from going out, he would bring gifts to his predecessor.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo has already decided in his heart to avenge Lin Zhan.
For this memory of fatherly love, he must avenge him.
But revenge can't be rushed. First of all, he doesn't know who the enemy is now, but it is definitely not easy to seriously injure a senior martial artist. Secondly, the strength of the Lin family is still a bit weak. Two martial artists can't make the Lin family face the enemy calmly.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to investigate the situation of the enemy. I believe Bo Yan can complete this matter.
All that remains is to strengthen the strength of the Lin family, that is, to increase the number of martial artists.
"Second Uncle!" Lin Mo read softly.
He hadn't seen Lin Zhan for a long time, so he decided to visit Lin Zhan.
The Lin family occupies a large area. There are more than a dozen small courtyards like Lin Mo's. In addition to the small courtyards, there are servants' quarters and some other functional houses.
The ancestral hall is at the back of the Lin family, except for the annual ancestor worship, few people go there.
Lin Mo walked unhurriedly in the courtyard of the Lin family, admiring the scenery of the courtyard inside the Lin family.
I met many servants along the way, and they all saluted Lin Mo respectfully, which made Lin Mo feel a little uncomfortable.
Although he has lived in the Lin family for a long time, he still has not adapted to this kind of master-servant relationship, so he has rarely left his small courtyard.
When he walked to the gate of a small courtyard, suddenly a basin of dirty water poured out of the gate, causing Lin Mo to jump back in shock.
"Ah!" A scream sounded.
Lin Mo looked with some displeasure in his heart. It was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. At this time, the little girl was looking at him in horror, holding a water basin in her hand.
Undoubtedly, the murderer who splashed water was this little girl.
"Brother, brother, I, I didn't do it on purpose." The little girl was teary and stuttered in fright.
This little girl is Lin Zhan's youngest daughter, Lin Xi, also Lin Mo's younger sister.
Seeing her like this, Lin Mo smiled wryly in his heart. It seems that what happened to Lin Zhan also affected Lin Xi.
He could remember that Lin Xi was very close to him in the past, so he was not as afraid of him as he is now.
"Xi'er, is big brother that scary?" Lin Mo said speechlessly.
"Brother!" Lin Xi lowered his head, holding the wooden basin in his hand cautiously.
Lin Mo smiled gently: "What are you doing?"
"I, I'm doing laundry." Lin Xi whispered.
Lin Mo frowned, looking at the wooden basin in her hand with a bad expression.
do the laundry!The dignified lady of the Lin family wants to wash her own clothes, what does the Lin family do with so many servants?
"What's going on? Where are the servants in your courtyard?" Lin Mo asked.
Lin Xi looked up cautiously, and said like a frightened deer, "None of them are willing to help Xi'er."
Lin Mo walked into Lin Xi's small courtyard with a cold face, just in time to see two men and two women sitting and playing in the gazebo, as if they were from the Lin family and Lin Xi was a servant.
You don't need to think about Lin Mo to know that these servants must see Lin Zhan imprisoned in the ancestral hall, so they don't think of Miss Lin Xi as a lady.
Hehe, it's really funny that a servant deceives the master. This kind of thing that only happens to the protagonist actually happened to their Lin family.
There was a gloomy look in Lin Mo's eyes.
Coming into this world from a harmonious society, Lin Mo still recognizes that everyone is equal, and does not look down on those servants, but this does not mean that this servant can bully his master at will without distinction.
The Lin family is not bad at the servants in the family. They take care of food and housing and pay wages. During festivals, there will be rewards for marriage and childbirth, and they will not bully the weak or abandon the sick and old. .
For this kind of treatment, Lin Mo didn't think it was bad. In his opinion, the Lin family was already benevolent to their servants.
But why are these people still bullying a teenage child without knowing what to do.
"What are you doing?" Lin Mo said coldly.
Only then did the four servants see Lin Mo, and they all trembled, and walked quickly to Lin Mo, the joy on their faces was replaced by a look of panic.
"The villain pays homage to the Patriarch."
"I asked what are you doing?" Lin Mo asked again.
"Small man, small man..." The four of them felt the coldness in Lin Mo's tone, looked at each other, knelt on the ground trembling, and begged: "Please forgive me, Patriarch!"
They also knew that Lin Xi should not be bullied.
"Xi'er, call the guards here." Lin Mo said to Lin Xi, ignoring them.
Lin Xi was no longer afraid at this time, because she knew that her elder brother was venting his anger on her.
"Subordinate Lin Qizhi pays respects to Patriarch!"
Lin Qizhi is a small captain of the Lin family's martial arts team. He happened to be on duty today, and he was summoned by the head of the family, so he hurriedly followed Lin Xi.
Looking at the situation in the courtyard, he immediately understood in his heart, and at the same time he was glad that he didn't deliberately neglect Lin Xi.
"Slap these four people with twenty lashes and drive them out of the Lin family." Lin Mo ordered directly without talking nonsense.
"Yes!"
Lin Qizhi immediately took the four of them under pressure and dragged them out.
The four did not dare to struggle, but they still begged bitterly.
Twenty lashes is nothing, it's nothing more than suffering, but they don't want to leave the Lin family.
The treatment of the servants by the Lin family is the best in Jingshan City, leaving the Lin family, they may not be able to live better than before.
Moreover, they were kicked out by the Lin family. Once the news got out, they would not be able to find other jobs in Jingshan City.
No one is willing to offend the Lin family for a servant, and no one is willing to use a person who has no dignity.
Chapter 22 Goodbye Lin Zhan
After appeasing Lin Xi, Lin Mo came to the ancestral hall.
Pushing open the heavy door of the ancestral hall, the dim environment blinded Lin Mo for a while.
After he recovered his eyesight, Lin Zhan's slightly stooped figure knelt on the mat.
"Second Uncle!" Lin Mo called softly.
"Lin Mo!" Lin Zhan turned his head to look over, his eyes were dead silent without any fluctuation.
It seems that the failure of the Patriarch's competition has dealt him a great blow.
Walking to his side, Lin Mo lit three sticks of incense, and bowed to those ancestral tablets.
"Is Second Uncle willing to be buried in the ancestral hall?" Lin Mo asked peacefully as he knelt beside Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan said in a cold voice: "What is there to be unwilling about?"
"I went to Xi'er's small courtyard just now, and she is not doing well, even the servants bullied her." Lin Mo lowered his head and studied the cattail mat under him, as if he wanted to see how it was woven.
Lin Zhan's body hidden under the loose robe trembled slightly, with his eyes closed, he said in a hoarse voice: "She has grown up."
Lin Mo, who was observing secretly, knew his reaction clearly, and sighed secretly in his heart: Xi'er really is the heart of the second uncle.
Most practitioners in this world marry late because of their cultivation. Lin Zhan only got married in his 30s, and he was already 35 years old when Lin Mo was there.
And Lin Zhan married later, close to 40 years old, now in his 50s, Lin Xi is only 14 years old.
In the past, Lin Xi was Lin Zhan's Ni Lin, and Lin Mo believes that it is the same now.
The reason why I said this is that I don't want Lin Zhan to continue to be silent.
He is not afraid that Lin Zhan has ambitions, but he is afraid that Lin Zhan's heart is dead.
"Second uncle, don't you want to visit Xi'er?"
Lin Zhan opened his eyes suddenly, staring at Lin Mo coldly, clenched his fists in his sleeves.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Mo smiled slightly.
Lin Zhan's anger means that he cares about Xi'er, and it also means that his heart has not completely calmed down.
"I want to ask my second uncle to come out and continue to be in charge of the Lin family's martial arts team."
Lin Zhan was slightly stunned, his pupils constricted, and he was thinking about what Lin Mo was going to do next.
He didn't think Lin Mo would let him go so easily.
"Are you testing me?" Lin Zhan thought that Lin Mo was not at ease with him, so he came here specially to test whether he hadn't given up on the position of Patriarch.
"Testing! No, I'm here to invite my second uncle." Lin Mo said seriously.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Lin Zhan frowned and asked, "What happened at home?"
"No, everything at home is safe and better than before. Sedum is on the right track. I followed her on a mission before, and I just came back yesterday." Lin Mo said truthfully.
"Then why do you need me?" Lin Zhan asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will continue to compete with you for the position of Patriarch?"
With a confident smile on Lin Mo's face, he said, "I'm not afraid, I wasn't afraid before, I'm not afraid now, and I won't be afraid in the future, because my second uncle can't compete with me."
Seeing his arrogance so arrogant, Lin Zhan withdrew his gaze in disdain. If you didn't count Lin Qing as an anomaly, you have no right to say this in front of me.
Lin Mo didn't care about his disdain, but asked instead: "Is Second Uncle's dream to be the head of the Lin family?"
"Dream! That's my ambition, hehehe." Lin Zhan laughed at himself.
"Oh, does the second uncle know what my dream is?" Lin Mo asked again.
"What is it?"
"My dream is to become the king of Tianyun, and everyone must submit to me!" Lin Mo smiled brightly.
Little old man, today I will bluff you and let you know the power of the time traveler.
Lin Zhan stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth wide, and froze all over. He stared at Lin Mo blankly, as if he had heard the most exaggerated words in the world.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, calmly withdrew his stunned expression, and quietly looked at the ancestral tablets on the table.
