Liu Yiyi looked at a group of potbellied old men from a distance, cast curious and disdainful glances around Cai Ji, and suddenly frowned.
Chen Tian felt something strange about her and couldn't help but sigh: "She is Gu Zhi's spy?"
"First she is a grass elf, a living person, and then she is my subordinate." Liu Yiyi turned her head and said softly.
Chentian has seen too many tragedies in the world, and it is not limited to the human race. All the powerful people who can show their status and luxury and are above all living beings never care about the life and death of the bottom.
He has always been jealous of this, but absurd dramas are being staged all the time in the world. At the beginning, he used his passion to fight against injustice.
Later, he gradually became numb without realizing it. Such was the social atmosphere and such was the law of law that the jungle prevailed, there was nothing he could do on his own.
In the end, it's all about being out of sight.
However, the distinguished families present were invited to attend the opening dinner, and they obviously had other agendas. They only gave Lin Maofeng a symbolic taste of Cai Ji, and then urged him to get to the point quickly.
"Uncles, you really don't want to try it anymore?" Lin Maofeng was very disappointed when he saw that everyone was not very interested, but because of everyone's face, he couldn't force him to play with it more carefully.
He waved his hand in disappointment, motioning for the servants to remove Nai Ji, and then carried up the iron boxes with rivets.
The warriors who filed in from the south gate were obviously high-level warriors with extremely strong physiques, but they could not withstand the continuous transportation and soon they were out of breath like a cow roaring.
Especially when the emerald coral tree, which was as tall as a magnolia, was moved to the atrium, the two warriors on the left and right turned pale from exhaustion and staggered, almost losing their balance, causing everyone to exclaim in shock.
"Oh my God!"
"Who said that the Lin family has dissipated all their wealth?"
"That's nonsense!"
Everyone looked down at boxes after boxes of gold and silver jewelry being carried up to the atrium. They were all shocked and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. However, they were still so excited by the aura of jewels that their blood surged.
Yin Jianyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Yin clan's coalition army, led eight thousand dragon and tiger cavalry to Gusu City. Within three days, in the name of military expenditure, a total of more than 70,000 boxes of gold were collected.
Later, wars broke out frequently, and the Lin family, as the richest man in Gusu City, was bloodied on a large scale, and the entire Liusha Chamber of Commerce almost spent money on military expenses.
All this was seen by everyone, and they thought that the Lin family's vitality had been seriously damaged since then, and it would take at least a hundred years to recover, so why should they give up the trade route for everyone to share food.
The result was unexpected.
Now his family background is clearly revealed.
"Uncles, you don't know something." Lin Maofeng saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces. He was obviously overwhelmed by the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, and his show off was beyond words.
He rubbed the gold bars and silver ingots beside him and said proudly: "The head of my family loves me very much. Hearing that I am obsessed with acting and spending a lot of money, he directly opened the family's secret treasury for me to play with."
"In the past two months, millions of gold and silver have been sent to me, which is enough for me to book the entire Zhangtai Road and taste all the stunning beauties in Yanliu Lane."
"Haha, the autumn rain has been heavy recently. I have to send thousands of people to dry gold and silver every day. It's miserable."
Everyone frowned, and regardless of Lin Maofeng's dancing and showing off, their thoughts arose one after another.
Let’s not talk about the sudden death of the Lin family father and son. As the second son, Lin Maofeng not only refused to mourn, but also enjoyed himself in a big way.
Shan said that Lin Maofeng suddenly called Lin Wei the patriarch, indicating that the Lin family has made big moves recently and must have integrated the internal split forces, and Lin Wei will soon officially intervene in various matters in Gusu City as the head of the Lin family.
at the same time.
Lin Wei's next move will determine how Gusu City will face the Yongtai Army. Whether it is surrender or war, a choice related to the prosperity and disgrace of his family is already before him.
As for the three or four trade routes in the hands of the Lin family, it is impossible to give them away in a short time. Even if the Quicksand Chamber of Commerce suffers heavy losses, the Lin family's heritage can still withstand consumption.
Everyone was thinking a lot, and when their eyes met each other, a thought suddenly came to their minds:
The centipede is dead but not stiff.
As long as the Lin family gives enough real money and silver, they can definitely get on the chariot, and it is not impossible to fight Yongtai City to the end.
The aristocratic families present at the scene have at least a good heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years. They have seen Gusu City go through ups and downs no less than a hundred times. They have reason to believe that this time the Yongtai army is approaching the city, there will still be no trouble.
Seeing everyone pondering, Chen Tian certainly knew the profound meaning of the Lin family's dinner party. The densely packed gold, silver and jewelry were like a shot in the arm, which not only attracted people's hearts, but also proved Lin Maofeng's difficulty in shouldering the responsibility of being the head of the Lin family.
Now Lin Wei can use all the gold and silver to silence the crowd, take office calmly, and no longer have to worry about the wrong position.
"No wonder Lin Wei didn't attend." After thinking deeply, Chen Tian concluded neatly.
But Liu Yiyi obviously hadn't recovered from her complicated thoughts. She subconsciously looked at Chen Tian and asked suspiciously: "What is Mr. Shang talking about?"
Chen Tian put down the tea cup and roughly told her the process of his thoughts. She nodded immediately and suddenly said: "There must be an expert behind this design. Who do you think Mr. Shang is?"
"Who else could it be?" Chen Tian smiled and made some hot tea for Liu Yiyi, "He is about to speak."
Liu Yiyi was very curious. She raised her eyes and followed his eyes, and saw Wu Yingzhe pressing his palms to signal everyone to be quiet.
Wu Yingzhe walked towards Lin Maofeng with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Gusu City is in a troubled time. The Lin family is generous and generous, and it is really worthy of the gratitude of the people in the city."
"Now Yongtai's army is approaching the city. They neither accept negotiations nor attack by force. They just assume the posture of a long-term siege."
"How can Gusu City surrender its soil and be willing to be a subject? Now the Lin family has stepped forward to take the lead. What they have done deserves my respect."
These words are accurate. You must know that the identity Wu Yingzhe represents at the banquet is the Lord of Gusu City. Since he has saluted Lin Maofeng, it means that Lin Wei's position as the head of the Lin family has been recognized.
certainly.
Lin Maofeng had no idea what it meant.
When he saw Wu Yingzhe, who had the highest status, saluting him, he couldn't help but smile, and secretly thought that the money was well spent.
"Master Wu, you don't have to be polite." Lin Maofeng grinned and returned the gift, "I don't have anything to give as a gift. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Master Wu by accepting this emerald coral tree."
Wu Yingzhe was stunned and ignored Lin Maofeng's gift of daughter-in-law in return and thanked him repeatedly.
He waved his hand to the door, and a dozen government servants carried in a large plaque with eight characters written on it -
A house that accumulates good deeds will always have something left over.
Everyone also recognized the situation and stood up together, followed by Wu Yingzhe and shouted in unison:
"The great achievements of the Lin family are shared by heaven and earth."
"The great achievements of the Lin family are shared by heaven and earth."
Lin Maofeng had never seen such a grand scene. The mighty worship suddenly made his face turn red, and he was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Okay, okay!"
"As long as your uncles like it, feel free to take it in your pocket!"
When everyone saw this, they immediately began to praise him again, which made Lin Maofeng so fascinated that he wished he could spend all his family wealth.
After all, he had been acting ridiculously before and was never recognized. Now he was suddenly being flattered one after another, so of course he was fascinated.
Chen Tian looked at Lin Maofeng sprinkling gold and silver from a distance, and then glanced at the plaque next to him, feeling quite ironic.
While he and Liu Yiyi were watching the farce with great interest, they suddenly heard a shout from the hall:
"Hey, who is that!"
"The boy sitting in the corner!"
"Why didn't you stand up and cheer just now?" "Me?" Chen Tian pointed at himself, and when he saw Lin Maofeng pushing away everyone and coming angrily, he sighed, "It's really me."
