Shopkeeper Liu groaned, as if weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
After a moment, he said slowly: "These things are half sold and half delivered to me. If you want it, Master, just take it all for a thousand taels of silver."
"Shopkeeper Liu is so happy, the deal is done."
After paying the money, Lin Yu called the two servants who were following him and asked them to carry these things back to the carriage.
Of course, he touched every burial object with his own hands before handing it over to the two of them, absorbing the energy contained in it.
As before, not every piece has an original power.
In the end, a total of 100 points of energy were sucked out from these funerary objects, and together with the original ones, the total was 240 points.
…
After returning home, Lin Yu did not rush to deduce martial arts, but ordered Lin Shan to take the funerary objects collected before and bury them outside the city together with today's ones.
Anyway, these things have no value to him anymore. If he keeps them, they might become a real disaster.
"Master, I want to inform you to gather in the lobby. There is something important to announce."
Just as Lin Yu was preparing to deduce martial arts, Wan'er hurried over and said.
"Is it important? Okay." Lin Yu had no choice but to stand up.
In the lobby of Lin Mansion.
The Lin family members came one after another, mainly Lin Chengye's wives, concubines and children, as well as his brothers and their brothers' families who stayed in the family.
"Everyone knows about the matter. In the past two days, there have been unidentified warriors in the city who are looking for trouble for wealthy families."
Lin Chengye looked tired, but he still maintained the dignified image of the head of the family.
"Don't worry too much. The government has made this matter a top priority and I believe it will be resolved soon."
"But before that, we still need to take necessary self-protection measures just in case."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions became tense and worried.
I didn't expect that things had reached this point, and it really felt like everything was on the line.
In all these years, those present have never faced death as they did today.
Murder cases that usually happen are just the subject of casual chats after dinner. How could they be related to him like this time.
So although Lin Chengye tried hard to dispel everyone's worries, everyone still couldn't relax.
"Okay, without further ado, everyone whose name I called will come forward."
After saying that, Lin Chengye began to call the names one by one.
When all the names were reported, everyone found that those who stood up were mainly Lin Chengye's sons, and in addition, the sons of two of his younger brothers.
Ages range from fourteen to seventeen.
Lin Chengye looked at Lin Yu and others and said: "The government will arrange for someone to come over later and send you and the young men from other families out of the city in batches. Be careful, you don't ask or chat with each other during this process, and the windows of the carriage are also closed."
It will be sealed and we will wait until we reach our destination."
At this point, everyone already understood.
It turns out that the self-protection measure Lin Chengye mentioned was to send the people most likely to be killed to hide somewhere else. As for why they were not allowed to chat and ask questions in the middle, it should be to prevent the news from leaking.
"yes."
Lin Yu and others agreed.
At this time, one of Lin Chengye's concubines suddenly asked with a sad face: "Master, Huan'er is also fifteen, why don't you include him?"
"He looks too young. Others will only think that he is eleven or twelve years old. The number of places is limited, so we won't send him out."
Lin Chengye replied calmly.
"Ah? Master, but, but..."
"But what?" Lin Chengye's other concubine interrupted her angrily: "If you give birth to a son but don't grow up, who can you blame?"
"Third sister, you!"
"Don't say a few words." Ning Yulan stopped her: "We are discussing important family matters now, and we won't tolerate your nonsense."
"I know I was wrong." The two of them immediately apologized.
Lin Chengye glanced at everyone and said: "Now that the meeting is over, remember to watch your mouth. If anyone dares to talk about this matter, we will take care of it."
The others quickly dispersed, but Lin Yu and others were not allowed to leave the lobby.
Lin Yu had no choice but to ask his mother to arrange for someone to bring the four martial arts books and the frost knife from the room.
…
afternoon.
After a long journey, Lin Yu and others finally arrived at their destination.
After getting off the carriage, everyone realized that this place was a small city within the territory of Tiger Gate, called Huju City.
Huju City was built near a mountain. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The main people living in the city are the families of Menghumen people, including the wives and children of many high-ranking men from Menghumen also living here.
So the security is very good.
Although Jianyang City's security is also top-notch, compared to Huju City, it has almost no experience and ability to deal with martial arts masters.
Therefore, the descendants of the wealthy families of Jianyang City who came here cheered and felt that they finally no longer had to face the threat of death.
"Everyone, since this is a temporary place, the conditions are not as good as those at your home. Please be patient."
The person in charge of the government who was responsible for guiding the way said to everyone.
Then, he began to arrange for his men to allocate houses to everyone.
The houses were temporarily requisitioned residences and were scattered throughout the city, so everyone present quickly left.
Lin Yu and his party followed a government official outside a tile-roofed house with a courtyard in the west of the city.
"This is it. As for how to live, you can make your own arrangements. You are all a family anyway."
After the clerk took everyone into the house, they bowed their hands and left.
The group of people stared at each other for a while, then all looked at Lin Yu.
He is the young master of the Lin family, so naturally he has the final say.
"Everyone sit down and take a rest first. Second brother and third brother, you can walk around the house with me to see how big it is."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he strode towards the back room.
The two people he called rushed to catch up.
After the three of them walked around the entire room together, they came outside to study the issue of allocating rooms.
This tile-roofed house has a total of four rooms except the main room and kitchen, and only six beds. There are nine Lin family members on this trip.
Lin Yu finally decided to put five of the beds in one of the rooms and put them together to form a bunk, so that everyone could make do with it.
As for himself, he naturally sleeps in a room alone and on a bed.
After handling this matter, Lin Yu said to the two of them: "Come with me to the streets and buy some food and supplies."
In order to hide my movements on this trip, I didn't bring anything with me except money, so I had to figure out how to pay for food and clothing by myself.
Lin Yu now felt a little envious of Lin Shan. He didn't have to worry about such trivial matters when he found an inn to live outside.
A group of three people walked out of the courtyard.
Lin Yu looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. Just as he was heading towards Huju City, two people who looked like police officers suddenly passed by him.
Originally this was nothing, but what the two said caught his attention.
They mentioned Yang Yuanzheng, and it seemed that the matter they wanted to deal with was related to Yang Yuanzheng.
