Ch 65: A Bunch Of Useless People! Old Useless!

“Head of the Family, what’s wrong with you? You seem unwilling to speak.”

“Hahaha, it must be that the Head of the Family is also shocked by our methods. He’s a man who keeps a straight face. Actually, he’s overjoyed inside.”

“Yes. He’s always been like this. Haha, we’re truly talented to come up with such a method. Zhen Guo Mansion still relies on us. Those younger generations are unreliable.”

Several Elders became more and more excited, more and more engrossed, completely ignoring Lin Pojun’s expression.

“Enough!!!”

Lin Pojun roared angrily, standing up furiously, his terrifying True Qi erupting, instantly sending the tables and chairs in the hall flying.

The wall hangings also fell one after another, and the windows were shattered.

Several Elders’ faces changed drastically, they retreated step by step, their faces full of shock.

“A bunch of useless things! Old useless things!! What kind of broken methods are these?”

“You’re only getting older, but your knowledge hasn’t improved at all? What’s in your heads?”

Lin Pojun flew into a rage, pointing at the Elders and shouting sharply:

“Is it Lin Che’s disobedient son’s problem? Is he the key? He merely understood what Her Majesty wanted and gave Her Majesty such an opportunity.”

“Our Zhen Guo Mansion is too ostentatious. Too much. Her Majesty doesn’t want us to inherit perpetually, so she implemented this Imperial Decree of Favors. Have your pig brains understood?”

“Do you think that by letting Lin Che plead, Her Majesty will change her mind? This is something she wholeheartedly wants to do. Even if the Former Emperors were resurrected, it wouldn’t change her mind. A bunch of useless things!! Good-for-nothings!”

Lin Pojun really wanted to rush forward and hit them one by one.

Just beat them to death.

At this time, they were still so naive, thinking that the Empress’s Imperial Edict was a joke?

“The only way now is for our Zhen Guo Mansion to establish great merit. Only then can Her Majesty continue to believe in us and allow Zhen Guo Mansion to continue to exist.”

“Merit! Understand? Merit!!”

The Elders looked at each other, finally sobering up after being scolded.

One of the Elders pondered for a moment, and said:

“The Head of the Family is right, if it’s about establishing merit. We also have a way. Now that Young Master Lin Che has become the Champion Marquis, it’s a great opportunity.”

“Doesn’t he need to hold a grand banquet in a few days? We’ll take this opportunity to repair our relationship with him. In two months, he will be going on an embassy to Yan Yun Kingdom.”

“Now that Prince Gong Chengyin is dead, the two countries are certainly in deep water and burning fire. As long as we fully assist Young Master Lin Che, allowing him to successfully go on his embassy to Yan Yun Kingdom. Upon his return, Her Majesty will surely reward him again.”

“At that time, our Zhen Guo Mansion will have another meritorious official.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Young Master Lin Che is our chance to turn things around. He’s a Champion Marquis at his age, in the future he might not only be a Duke, but even be ennobled as a King.”

Lin Pojun trembled with anger, wanting to scold them again.

But he didn’t know what to say.

To be honest, the method proposed by these Elders was indeed a brilliant one.

If in two months, Lin Che goes on an embassy to Yan Yun Kingdom, he will directly lead the Zhenyuan Army to the border of Yan Yun Kingdom. Tell Yan Yun Kingdom that if anything happens to Lin Che, the army will directly attack the Yan Yun Sixteen Prefectures.

When Lin Che returns, he will surely have established great merit.

But…

Damn it, Lin Che has no relation to him anymore.

“Let’s… let’s think of other ways.”

“Ah? Why? Head of the Family. No one else is better than Young Master Lin Che.”

Lin Pojun angrily said: “He’s not your Young Master Lin Che anymore. I, I have severed ties with him in front of Her Majesty. He, he is no longer a person of our Zhen Guo Mansion…”

“What??”

Several Elders were incredibly shocked, and then, one by one, they became angry.

These Elders were, in fact, Lin Pojun’s elders.

“Little Junzi, it’s not your second uncle saying this. Look at what you’ve done? How can you sever ties?”

“You’re such a grown man, and you’re the Head of the Family. It’s normal to quarrel with your son, but you sever ties? Is this something a father would do?”

“What did Lin Che do wrong? You must sever ties with him? Humph, Lin Yaoguang is so disobedient. Now he’s been sent to Fortune’s Great Wall, why didn’t you sever ties with him? What’s in your head?”

“Snot-nosed Jun, snot-nosed Jun. Zhen Guo Mansion is ruined by you. We thought we could repair our relationship with Lin Che, but you… it’s a foregone conclusion. I really don’t know what to say about you. Heaven wants to destroy our Zhen Guo Mansion!”

Lin Pojun wanted to retort, but he was indeed at fault.

Now he was even more distraught, and these Elders were really putting on airs.

“Disperse, disperse. I’ll think of a way myself.”

Lin Pojun waved his hand, not wanting to listen to these Elders’ nagging.

He himself knew very well that even if he hadn’t severed ties with Lin Che, he wouldn’t be able to ask Lin Che for help.

He is the father, in the world, how could a father ask for help from his son?

How could a father apologize to his son?

The father is the head of the family.

He is the father, he doesn’t need to compromise with any of his children. If they can’t even bear a little grievance, how will they adapt to survival in the future?

He has always been for the good of his children.

Moreover, after being disturbed by these Elders, he already had an idea.

There is still a long time to come, he can slowly establish merit.

As for his eldest son, Lin Yaoguang, although he is going to Fortune’s Great Wall, but… if on the way, he is unfortunately intercepted by bandits, Lin Yaoguang escapes, and his whereabouts are unknown, that is also possible.

In Daqian, Lin Yaoguang has no chance, but he can let Lin Yaoguang enter Jade Void Palace to cultivate.

In the future, if he becomes accomplished in cultivation, and even becomes the Head of the Daoist School, even the Empress will need to secretly acknowledge it.

His eldest son has the bearing of a Daoist Venerable!

……

Imperial Palace.

Outside the Imperial Study.

Lin Che waited patiently, having already drunk cup after cup of tea.

Seeing that it was already dark, and Jiang Li and Chi Feiwan hadn’t come out, he unceremoniously asked the maid for some snacks.

At this time, the creaking sound of wheels turning came from outside.

Minister of Justice Qian Linggong had arrived.

This limping fellow, with a faint smile on his face, nodded in satisfaction after seeing Lin Che:

“Very good.”

Although Lin Che was a Champion Marquis, his position was still Deputy Grand Master of Ceremonies, and he didn’t have much capital to be arrogant in front of the Head of the Legalists.

“Greetings to Legalist Zheng—hehe, I was just lucky enough to establish merit. It’s all because of Her Majesty’s boundless fortune that the Imperial Jade Seal was recovered.”

Qian Linggong gently shook his head: “I’m not talking about that, I’m saying, your Martial Arts are very good. When I first met you, your cultivation level was low, your First-Rank Body Tempering Realm hadn’t reached perfection, now, you’ve already reached perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.”

“Your cultivation level has progressed rapidly. Even Gong Chengyin died at your hands. Very good.”

Lin Che was slightly startled, and smiled: “It was just luck. It’s all because I received guidance from that Silver-Haired Man in the library. That’s why I have such a cultivation level.”

Oh!

Anyway, you dare not verify, this shield is simply invincible.

Sure enough.

Even Qian Linggong nodded thoughtfully after hearing this:

“No wonder. So it was him.”

“Right, Her Majesty has instructed the Bright Mirror Department to handle the embassy case. There has been some progress from all sides, but many key aspects still require the Champion Marquis’s cooperation in the investigation.”

Lin Che nodded: “Yes… but this time, don’t draw your swords and intercept me at the City Gate and forcibly arrest me to the Bright Mirror Department’s prison.”

“Hehe. Last time, it was all a misunderstanding.”

Misunderstanding your second uncle.

You are cooperating with the Empress, wanting to test if I disrespect the gods.

Qian Linggong seemed to subconsciously like to control the conversation, and immediately asked again:

“Fei Sanzhu confessed, giving you two million silver notes to bribe you to assassinate Gong Chengyin. This silver needs to be turned in, to be made into evidence.”

Qian Linggong’s sentence wasn’t asking whether this was the case. He directly skipped the key question and asked Lin Che to hand over the money.

Lin Che didn’t care now, after all, he had already reported this matter to Her Majesty.

He couldn’t keep this money, but he earned Skill Points.

Enough.

Lin Che was also straightforward: “Certainly. Two million, I’ll give it to you now.”

Lin Che reached into his bosom, counted the silver notes, and handed the two million silver notes to Qian Linggong.

Qian Linggong didn’t avoid anything, after receiving them, he asked again:

“When we examined Gong Chengyin’s body, we found that all his belongings were gone. Especially his Hidden Heaven Pouch was missing. Did the Champion Marquis help keep it?”

“No! What’s a Hidden Heaven Pouch?”

Lin Che blinked, his face full of innocence.

I gave you two million, that’s unavoidable, but Gong Chengyin’s Hidden Heaven Pouch was obtained by me through hard work and killing and robbing.

You haven’t even stood up, sitting here reaching out to ask for it?

Is your face so big?

“Really not? Think again.”

“No need to think, this, really not!!”
