A violent roar surged out from the main house of the Lin family, causing the roof tiles to rustle with dust. The waitress who was waiting at the side had already dodged away, but she still trembled when she heard the roar like a wild beast in the house.
Everyone can understand the current mood of the family leader Lin Wei.
After all, half a month ago, his eldest brother died tragically in Yongtai City because of his legitimate son Lin Yingfan. He was so angry that he died.
Unexpectedly, today, the Lin family hotel suddenly suffered a fire, and his nephew Lin Maofeng died at the hands of the miasma mountain ghost.
Anyone who suffers the pain of bereavement one after another will definitely be so angry that he will get angry and throw something at random.
But understanding is understanding.
There were more than a hundred servants and maids in the courtyard, but no one was willing to step forward to comfort Lin Wei's irritable mood.
Are you kidding me?
House servants who are as humble as a piece of grass don't care about how they survive in troubled times, but worry about their masters who are well-dressed and well-fed?
Too full to eat?
Lin Su, the highest-ranking butler, also understood this very well. He concentrated on welcoming guests and sending them off, and slowly entertained the guests who came from all walks of life to express their condolences.
Of course he knew that these people were all hypocritical, that condolences were just a pretense, and that inquiring was the true meaning.
But the incident at the hotel was caught off guard, the fire has not been extinguished yet, and everything has not been settled yet. Even though he had a lot of information, he did not dare to speak randomly.

But the housekeeper Lin Su is also happy to be a mute.
As long as you don't face Lei Wei's furious family leader Lin Wei, let alone being a mute, you won't have any complaints even if you act more cruelly and act deaf.
"In today's world, you can only be dumb and deaf, and your life is hard to save—" Lin Su sighed as he watched the last group of guests walk out of the door.
But before he could turn around, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the main house: "Lin Su! See me quickly!"
Lin Su was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. He calmed down his expression, walked across the courtyard tremblingly, and knelt down respectfully: "May I ask what the master of the house wants to do when he calls me?"
"Why are you visiting the place?"
"The main thing is to offer condolences, and secondly to ask for explanations."
"Tell me the details!"
"All the major aristocratic families in the city were invited to attend the warehouse opening dinner, but nine out of ten of them were injured..." Lin Su repeated his words and answered with difficulty.
Logically speaking, these things are obvious, but in fact it is easy to know without reporting them.
But Lin Wei was obviously carried away by anger, his thoughts were confused, and he could not think calmly at all.
"Bastard thing!"
"I collect money and run faster than anyone else, and everyone laughs. Now I am attacked by a miasma mandrill, and I actually have the courage to ask for an explanation!"
Lin Wei was furious and kicked over the tea table, splashing water all over the place. The loud cracking sound made everyone shrink their necks in shock.
"Ask me for an explanation? Then ask for it!"
"The Miasma Mandrill actually sneaked into the Lin family hotel easily, set fire to it, and looted it. There must be an accomplice in the city!"
"Now! It's now!" Lin Wei stepped on the pieces of the tea cup and crushed them into powder. "You lead your private army to immediately search the Baili Family near the East Gate Hotel. Anyone who resists will be treated as an accomplice!"
"If anyone from the major aristocratic families in the city has any objections, notify the city lord's palace to mobilize military symbols and kill them all!"
"This is asking for an explanation!"
"Is it clear enough?"
"Old slave, I understand." Lin Su felt the murderous aura and did not dare to give any advice. Anyway, he was not the one who suffered.
Just as he bowed and stepped back two or three feet, he suddenly heard Lin Wei shout again: "If that old guy Ye Xiangchen insists on visiting, I'll just beat him up with a stick!"
"As ordered." Lin Su's heart suddenly tightened.
You must know that the Ye family is considered a close friend of the family. For dozens of generations, they are also dear relatives and friends. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family is a family with blood thicker than blood.
Now we suddenly have no contact with each other?
"Stupid thing!" Lin Wei saw his hesitation and cursed, "Are you still standing there looking for death?"
Lin Su did not dare to dodge, and let a mouthful of old yellow phlegm spray on his face. He saluted and exited the main house, fearing that he would suddenly suffer a bloody disaster.
"There's nothing worry-free!" Lin Wei turned around angrily, angrily walked into the study room with his sleeves thrown away, and then lit a paper token shaped like a token with the help of a candlestick.
He was slumped in the recliner for only half a minute when a dark, masked figure quietly floated into his eyes, soundlessly.
"Jiang Tong, the retainer, pays homage to the master of the family."
Lin Wei didn't even look at the figure kneeling on the ground. He stared blankly into the lonely night and asked tiredly: "Have you checked everything?"
"You can see a leopard through a tube," Jiang Tong said in a low voice.
"Tell me something I don't know."
"Wong Tai Sin did kill Lin Maofeng with his own hands, and also got rid of those a few aristocratic families who had slightly evil intentions, but he did not enrich his own pockets, and the treasures in the secret vault were robbed by others."
Hear this.
Lin Wei showed a heart-wrenching expression of pain.
In order to ride on the chariot of the Yin family's coalition forces, he had already lost most of his family wealth, and even injured his Liusha Chamber of Commerce to the point where it was difficult to recover. The wealth accumulated over generations was even more lost.
As a result, Yin Jianyuan failed to live up to his high expectations. Not only were his 700,000 soldiers and horses killed by Yongtai's army, but he himself was killed in a surprise attack.
In order to maintain prestige and stability, Lin Wei had to open up the family's secret treasure house and ostentatiously transport it to the Dongmen Hotel, so that his unsatisfactory nephew could appease people's hearts.
This not only allowed the wealthy family that received the money to recognize him as the head of the Lin family, but also allowed outsiders to see his nephew's extremely ridiculous true face, thus allowing him to take over the Lin family business in an upright and fair manner.
Later, Wong Tai Sin led the miasma mandrills to appear and kill Lin Maofeng to avoid future troubles and completely secure his position as the head of the family.
At this point, everything was going smoothly, but then the script obviously slipped into an abyss.
According to the idea, after Wong Tai Sin completed his main task, he should kidnap everyone and recover their money, and then wait for an opportunity to extort a windfall.
In the end, he will step in, mediate, and stage a grand drama of bravely fighting against demons and monsters, thus integrating the aristocratic families and completely evacuating the city lord's palace.
What's the result?
The mountains of gold and silver within the treasure house have disappeared!
Thinking of this, Lin Wei's eyes burst into flames, and he wanted to dig deep into the ground to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and then cut his body into pieces!
Now the Lin family was completely depleted of money, and could no longer afford ten thousand taels of gold to maintain their trade routes. Lin Wei was forced to kill and take the lead in killing the prominent families in the city.
In the name of the hotel fire, Lin Wei believed that he could collect at least another hundred thousand gold before the news of the theft of the treasure house was revealed.
Then, as long as the spiritual weapon ship dragged to Cangxi arrives in Gusu City, the Yongtai army will surely be defeated without any attack, and the Lin family will definitely use this to achieve great success.
Although Lin Wei had taken remedial measures, thinking about the treasure house being stolen, Lin Wei's heart ached like needles and his breathing became rapid.
"check!"
"We must find out the culprit!"
Lin Wei slapped the table and yelled, walking up and down the hall with a look of anger on his face. He grabbed Jiang Tong's shoulders and shook his head violently: "The secret treasure house in our ancestral tomb has long been traced to being stolen, and even a bottle of it was leaked.
