"I heard that the Lin family has already given you enough compensation, why do you still go to the door of the Lin family to cause trouble?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Making trouble? What do we call making trouble? We just want justice. Besides, how did you hear that the Lin family gave us enough compensation? It's only 300,000 yuan. Is my son's life only worth 300,000 yuan?" The old man was excited.
's question.
"Three hundred thousand?" Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Will the Lin family just give you three hundred thousand? As far as I know, the Lin family is very rich. It's impossible to give just that little, right?"
"Do rich people have to be generous? The richer these days, the more stingy they are. Three hundred thousand is the price they offered to the traffic police. Give us three hundred thousand and let us sign an understanding agreement. Tell me,
Can I sign it? The person who killed my son was driving drunk. He committed a crime. Can he be exempted from the crime with 300,000 yuan? What kind of law is there!" The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red.
"So that's it!" Lin Zhiming nodded and said, "Then what do you want now?"
"We have only two demands. The first is to arrest the perpetrator and bring him to justice. The second is to pay us money, enough money!" said the old man.
"Okay, I'll remember these first. I'll go back and sort them out, and then I'll see if I can help you!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Thank you very much. I didn't expect that there would be journalists with such a sense of justice like you. By the way, I wonder what your last name is? What is your name?" the old man asked.
"My surname is Lin. It's a coincidence that I have the same surname as the Lin family. As for what my name is, you don't need to know. I will definitely try my best to seek justice for you!" Lin Zhiming said.
"I have no prejudice against people named Lin. There are so many people named Lin across the country. It's normal to have some scum. Reporter Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. We have no choice now, really!" the old man said.
"Well!" Lin Zhiming nodded, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving now, and I'll contact you later! By the way, this is my phone number. If you have anything, you can call me."
With that said, Lin Zhiming handed a piece of paper with his phone number written on it to the old man.
"Okay, okay!" The old man put the paper away solemnly.
Lin Zhiming nodded to everyone, then turned and left.
"There are still good people in this world!" the old man said with emotion.
"I think it's better not to have any hopes. The Lin family is not something that a small reporter can shake," the young man said.
"That's better than nothing!" said the old man.
On the other side, Lin Zhiming went downstairs and drove back to Lin's house.
On the way, Lin Zhiming called Lin Wei.
"Call everyone involved in Lin Feng's matter to the ancestral hall." Lin Zhiming said calmly.
"What's wrong, Patriarch?" Lin Wei asked nervously.
"Do I need to report to you?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm going to find someone right now." Lin Wei said quickly.
"By the way, Lin Cairong is also invited." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Half an hour later, Lin Zhiming's car drove into the Lin family villa area, and then drove straight to the Lin family's ancestral hall.
The Lin Family Ancestral Hall is located deep in the villa area.
Lin Zhiming specially spent a lot of money to build a huge ancestral hall.
Many ancestors of the Lin family are enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Some of the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Lin family who had surrendered to him were also placed in the ancestral hall by Lin Zhiming, so there were hundreds of tablets placed in the entire ancestral hall, which was quite spectacular.
At this time, Lin Wei was already waiting in the ancestral hall with a group of Lin family members.
Lin Zhiming walked into the ancestral hall, and everyone greeted Lin Zhiming one after another.
Lin Zhiming did not reply, but walked straight to the many tablets, picked up three incense sticks from the table, lit them, and then bowed three times to the tablets in front of him.
After that, Lin Zhiming inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner.
"Is everyone here?" Lin Zhiming asked calmly.
"Everyone is here!" Lin Wei said.
Lin Zhiming walked to the Grand Master's chair in the middle and sat down, then glanced at the people in front of him.
Except for Lin Cairong and Lin Wei, he didn't know anyone else.
"Master, what happened? Why did you suddenly summon us all?" Lin Cairong asked doubtfully.
"Who is Lin Feng?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It's me." A young man in his thirties quickly raised his hand and said.
"Master, Lin Feng is my cousin." Lin Cairong introduced.
"Did you hit someone to death while driving drunk two days ago?" Lin Zhiming asked calmly.
"What?! Did you hit someone while driving drunk?" Lin Cairong looked at Lin Feng in horror.
"It wasn't because of drunk driving. There was something wrong with that person. He was wandering around on the road at night. I just didn't see him and he hit him." Lin Feng explained.
"Have you been drinking?" Lin Cairong asked.
"I drank a little, but I'm definitely not drunk. Master, I can swear to God, I was very lucky at that time!" Lin Feng said excitedly.
"Of course you are awake and know how to run away from the scene as soon as possible." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes, I went to the traffic police to surrender myself the next day. By that time, I had already consumed all the alcohol, and they couldn't find out that I was drunk driving!" Lin Feng said proudly.
"Cairong, someone in your lineage drove drunk and killed someone, and you didn't even know?" Lin Zhiming looked at Lin Cairong and asked.
"This...I really don't know." Lin Cairong said with an embarrassed look.
"This is all a trivial matter. I asked a few tribesmen to figure it out and solved it. There is no need to trouble others," Lin Feng said.
"Is it a trivial matter to kill someone? When did my Lin family become so powerful, and why didn't I know about it?" Lin Zhiming asked with a joking look on his face.
"Master, the person I killed was just a migrant worker. As long as these migrant workers are given some money, they will be fine," Lin Feng said.
"Well, as long as you give me some money, you'll be fine. Then I would like to ask you, how much did you give me?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Give...three million." Lin Feng replied with some stuttering.
"Who gave him three million?" Lin Zhiming pointed at Lin Feng and asked.
"It's me, the head of the family." A middle-aged man raised his hand and said.
"Who are you?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"The head of the family, he is the steward responsible for clan-related affairs, his name is Lin Chaojie." Lin Wei introduced.
"The owner of the family, at that time, I considered that the money was not very much and it was within the scope of my right to decide, so I made my own decision and paid the compensation." Lin Chaojie said.
"Who did you give the three million to? The victim's family or Lin Feng?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I gave it to Lin Feng, and he said it would be best for him to pay the compensation." Lin Chaojie said.
"So...you gave three million to the family of the person you killed, right?" Lin Zhiming asked Lin Feng.
"Yes, yes!" Lin Feng nodded.
Lin Zhiming smiled slightly, looked at Lin Cairong and said, "Cairong, I am willing to give you face many times. After all, you are the first group of people to submit to me and have helped me a lot. However, in today's matter, you can
Don't blame me for not giving you face."
"What's wrong, Master?" Lin Cairong asked nervously.
Lin Zhiming did not answer, but looked at Lin Feng and said, "I gave you a chance just now, Lin Feng, but you didn't take it yourself. Let me ask you one last time, did you give the three million to others?"
Hearing Lin Zhiming's question, Lin Feng didn't know that his affair was exposed. He knelt on the ground and said nervously, "Master, I...I didn't give everything."
"How much did you give?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Three...three hundred thousand." Lin Feng stuttered.
"What?!" Lin Cairong asked in horror, "The clan gave you 3 million to compensate others, but you gave 300,000?"
"I, I think three hundred thousand is enough. He is just a migrant worker. How much money can he make?" Lin Feng said.
"In your eyes, do the lives of migrant workers not matter?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It's life, but it's not that valuable, right?" Lin Feng said.
"It's not that valuable. I really didn't expect that our Lin family actually has a master who cares about human life. Even I don't dare to say whose life is not valuable. You, Lin Feng, are really powerful, even more powerful than me.
Okay, do you think that because you have the Lin family at your back, you can do whatever you want in the imperial capital? Driving after drinking? No problem! Hitting someone while driving? A small matter! You can pay three million in compensation
Three hundred thousand is enough, because people’s lives are cheap! Haha, Cai Rong, listen to these words, these words actually come from the mouth of my Lin family! I have only been in charge of the Lin family for a few years, and the Lin family already has such a
Man, if it had been a few more decades, wouldn't the entire Lin family really have become villains?" Lin Zhiming said with a sinister expression.
"Master, this matter is my fault. I didn't manage my people well, so I let Lin Feng do such a thing. Master, Lin Feng is not a bad person. Please give Lin Feng another chance. Where is the victim?"
I will definitely give them a compensation plan that satisfies them!" Lin Cairong said excitedly.
"Master, I, I was wrong, please give me a chance to change my ways!" Lin Feng also begged.
"Lin Wei, I asked you to be the general housekeeper. I didn't ask you to only manage family affairs. The daily behavioral norms of family members and the popularization of family rules all need to be managed by you. But in the end, you managed such a thing for me.
Come on, if you want to say who is to blame for this incident, Lin Feng is the first, and you are the second!" Lin Zhiming said to Lin Wei with a dark face.
"Master, I was wrong, please punish me, master." Lin Wei bent down and said nervously.
"Please punish me, head of the family!" Everyone else who had something to do with this incident also bowed down and said.
Looking at the people in front of him, Lin Zhiming said calmly, "Lin Wei, from now on, you will be deprived of your position as chief steward. Go to Shengxi City to help Huang Jie deal with the Lin family in Shengxi City."
"Yes!" Lin Wei did not dare to disobey and nodded in agreement.
"Lin Cairong, you are unable to discipline your clan members. All dividends will be cancelled. In addition, you will be responsible for popularizing clan rules to everyone in the clan from now on." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes!" Lin Cairong nodded.
"As for you, Lin Feng..." Lin Zhiming looked at Lin Feng, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Remove yourself from the Lin family."
