Lin Lingxian's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes seemed to burst out of fire when he looked at Lin Ziqi.
He stepped forward and slapped Lin Ziqi hard on the face.
Snapped!
Lin Ziqi was whipped to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood. Half of his teeth fell out and half of his face was swollen.
Lin Lingxian pointed his halberd and shouted: "You bastard, is what he said true?"
Lin Ziqi's mouth was bleeding: "I didn't..."
Snapped!
Lin Lingxian slapped Lin Ziqi hard on the face again, and said in a deep voice: "Think about it before you speak. If you dare to hide anything, don't let me take care of you anymore."
The matter was too big. If Lin Ziqi really participated in the assassination of Ye Huchen, the top priority should be to find a way to solve the matter instead of hiding it.
If Lin Ziqi really participated in the assassination of Ye Huchen, he would definitely not be able to hide it. It was only a matter of time before he was found out.
If a war breaks out between the two families, no one can afford the consequences.
It may even make the Lin family the target of public criticism.
The five major aristocratic families have always been on the same side externally. No matter how openly and secretly they fight behind the scenes, it is always a struggle for power and business, and it has never reached the level of a sword fight.
Lin Ziqi saw that Lin Lingxian was really angry, so naturally he did not dare to hide anything anymore. He lowered his head and said, "I was indeed the one who helped Pu Dayong contact the Blood Clothes Pavilion..."
"Evil son!"
Before Lin Ziqi could finish his words, Lin Lingxian kicked him hard.
Lin Ziqi was kicked out and a large mouthful of blood spurted out in the air. He fell to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing up blood.
Ye Huchen snorted coldly: "This kind of evil obstacle, if it were me, I would have killed it with one blow."
Ye Shaozheng, who was kneeling not far away, quickly lowered his head after hearing this, with a flash of fear in his eyes.
Lin Lingxian strode towards Lin Ziqi with a gloomy face.
Lin Ziqi covered his chest and said feebly: "Father, we don't want to kill Mr. Ye... We want to kill..."
He pointed at Chu Tianshu and said in a voice filled with resentment, "It's him!"
Chu Tianshu acted as if he hadn't heard anything, eating meat and drinking wine without even raising his head.
Lin Lingxian said in a deep voice: "Is this really the case?"
Lin Ziqi said: "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out."
Ye Shaoliu snorted coldly: "That's not what the killer we caught said."
Lin Lingxian turned back to look at Ye Huchen: "Shibo, although the dog is unkind, I believe he won't lie."
Ye Huchen narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean, my grandson is lying?"
"Junior, that's not what I meant."
Lin Lingxian hurriedly said: "There must be some misunderstanding here."
Ye Huchen said: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll find out once we check."
Lin Ziqi hissed: "Where is the killer you caught?
I am willing to confront him face to face."
Ye Shaoliu said: "Grandpa promised him that as long as he revealed the person behind the scenes, he would let him go."
Lin Ziqi burst out laughing, obviously not believing what Ye Shaoliu said.
At this time, two more groups of people rushed to the scene.
One group was Xuan Jia, led by Huangfu Zhaonan himself.
The other group was the group headed by Chu Tianqi.
Although they walked along the road at the same time, the leaders Huangfu Zhaonan and Chu Tianqi did not look sideways, and neither of them glanced at the other.
Looking at Huangfu Zhaonan who was approaching, and then at Chu Tianqi, Chu Tianshu's mood turned out to be a little complicated for a moment.
He smiled and said: "Uncle Nan, come over and have a drink. There is freshly roasted tiger meat and the fine wine that Mr. Chu has collected."
Only then did Chu Tianqi notice that what was on the table was the good wine he had left at the racecourse, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with those bottles of wine, but that he never liked others touching his things, especially without his permission.
Huangfu Zhaonan was not polite, strode forward, hugged Ye Huchen, and sat down next to Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu poured Huangfu Zhaonan a large glass of wine, and Ye Shaoliu brought another pair of chopsticks.
"Mr. Ye."
Chu Tianqi first saluted Ye Huchen, then stepped forward to lift Lin Ziqi up from the ground, and said with concern: "Ziqi, are you okay?"
Then, he looked at Ye Shaozheng who was kneeling aside.
Ye Shaozheng shook his head and said he was fine.
Ye Huchen chuckled and said, "Young Master Chu is worthy of being the leader of the princeling party in Beidu. This kindness and righteousness are really touching."
While Chu Tianqi handed Lin Ziqi over to his subordinates to deal with his injuries, Chu Tianqi said: "I'm ashamed of myself, I'm not the leader of a princeling party. It's just because of my good popularity that all the boys are willing to let me help when they encounter problems."
Ye Huchen said calmly: "Then Mr. Chu will definitely not let this matter go unchecked today?"
"In front of you, how dare I call myself young? Mr. Ye has really embarrassed the younger generation."
Chu Tianqi said: "Putting aside the friendship between me and Ziqi, whether Mr. Ye was assassinated or Ziqi was suspected of assassinating you, it is the matter of our ancient martial arts alliance. Now that my father is away from Beidu for something, Tianqi naturally wants to
Let me check on my father’s behalf.”
"good."
Ye Huchen pointed at Lin Ziqi, "Then I'll wait and see how the young leader will deal with this mastermind."
He deliberately emphasized the word "young alliance leader" very strongly.
Lin Lingxian said in a deep voice: "Shibo, Quanzi also said just now that their target is only the boy named Chu. You are completely implicated by that boy named Chu..."
Ye Shaoliu said angrily: "Let's not talk about whether Lin Ziqi was the mastermind behind the assassination of my grandfather. Even if their target was Mr. Chu and my grandfather was just accidentally injured, it is also true that my grandfather almost died today. How are you going to explain it?
"
Lin Lingxian frowned and said, "The Lin family will definitely give Uncle Shi a satisfactory explanation."
Chu Tian prayed: "How about this, the Lin family gives Mr. Ye some compensation, as for Zi Qi?
Just stay at home for now, and you are not allowed to go out until this matter has nothing to do with him."
"Can."
Lin Lingxian said: "I am willing to give this racecourse to Shibo as compensation."
"Okay, I'll accept it."
Ye Huchen took a sip of wine and said word by word, "But, it's not enough."
Lin Lingxian said solemnly: "I wonder what else Shibo wants?"
Ye Huchen picked up a pair of chopsticks to guard the barbecue that had just been brought to the table, and slowly ate a piece. Then he said: "After all, you call me Shibo, and I can't let you call me in vain. It's too embarrassing for you and it's inappropriate..."
He looked at Lin Lingxian and said with a smile: "Just give me the land No. 1 in Beidu."
Hearing this, except for Chu Tianshu, almost everyone else in the audience froze.
Land No. 1 in Beidu is a piece of land adjacent to the Forbidden City. It was originally an alley area decades ago. Because the Lin family's ancestral home was nearby, Lin Lingxian's grandfather bought all that land.
