Yue Mansion, Yue Xiong were practicing boxing. When they heard the news from their confidant butler, they punched the practice stake hard. The wooden stake that required two people to hug each other cracked open with a "click" sound.
He froze in place, and the muscles on his face twitched. After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes full of fear and happiness, and whispered.
"Seventh Rank? That's it! Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't act rashly last night!"
He Mansion, He Wen The book in his hand fell on the table with a bang. He stared out the window for a long time, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and murmured.
"In one year, Seventh Rank has been achieved. Fang Clan's rise is unstoppable. Prepare a generous gift. I will go to the Fang Mansion in person to congratulate you later."
Sun Estate, Sun Mang were so shocked that they jumped up from the chair. The jade ring in their hands fell to the ground and smashed to pieces without even realizing it. Their faces were pale, cold sweat was dripping down, and they said in a trembling voice.
"Thicken it by 30%, no, make it 50% thicker. The gifts must be well prepared and must not be neglected!"
After learning the truth, the last trace of unwillingness and luck in the hearts of the three Clan Head completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of awe and fear from the heart.
Fang Han has been promoted to Seventh Rank at such a young age. His talent is terrifying and his future is limitless, far beyond their imagination.
If you offend such a genius who is very likely to become a high-level Azure Profound Sect in the future, Lin Family's today may be the tomorrow of their three Lineage!
At this moment, they were extremely grateful for the decision they made last night to stand still.
The coveting of the Lin Family industry has long been transformed into how to make friends with the Fang Clan, which is rising strongly, at least not to make enemies.
Liangshui City's innocence has changed!
The morning after the destruction of the Lin Family.
The haze above my head for days has finally dissipated, and the long-lost sunshine shines through the window lattice into the room, bringing a bit of warmth.
Fang Han slowly stopped his power and opened his eyes. A ray of dark green light flowed under his eyes and disappeared immediately.
Pushing open the door, the sunshine is warm, and the air is filled with the unique coldness of winter and a faint aftertaste of the New Year.
"Brother!"
Fang Ying, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, saw him and immediately rushed over like a cheerful bird, took his hand and shook it.
"Brother, you promised to accompany us to play on the street today, don't go back on it!"
She raised her little face, her big eyes full of expectation.
"Okay, today my brother will go shopping with Xiao Ying and his parents."
Fang Han smiled and ruffled Younger Sister's hair, looking at his parents standing beside him with smiles on their faces.
Fang Zheng looks good today, and the gloom between his eyebrows has been completely relieved because Lineage has settled the important matter.
Lin Wan carefully adjusted Fang Han's collar and said softly, "After a busy day, it's time to go out for a walk and relax."
A family of four followed several Servant out of the Fang Mansion and merged into the crowd of people in the streets at the beginning of Liangshui City.
Although it experienced great changes the night before, the New Year atmosphere in the city has not dissipated.
The destruction of the Lin Family has just become a topic of conversation for the residents of the city. Liangshui City will not be unable to operate just because of the lack of the Lin Family.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street have opened, and the vendors selling New Year's goods are still shouting enthusiastically, and all kinds of lanterns and colored paper have not yet been removed.
The streets are crowded with pedestrians.
Someone recognized Fang Han and couldn't help but look sideways, their eyes full of awe, curiosity and a trace of unconcealable fear.
Low voices of discussion quietly rose up like a tide.
"Look, it's the one Fang Clan..."
"Hiss... that's him? One man and one sword..."
"Keep your voice down! Don't provoke..."
Fang Han was oblivious to the gazes around him, he just stood by his family and walked calmly.
Fang Ying was extremely excited, looking around with his little head, and soon his full attention was attracted by a street stall selling candied haws and various candied fruits.
"Brother, I want to eat that and that!"
She pointed at the crystal clear candied haws and the attractively colored candied dates, pulled Fang Han's sleeves and begged.
"Okay, buy them all."
Fang Han smiled and stepped forward to buy a bunch of candied haws and a pack of candied fruits. Fang Ying immediately cheered and took the candied haws. His eyebrows were crooked as he ate, and the sugar residue stuck to the corners of his mouth.
Lin Wan smiled and took out the handkerchief to wipe it for her, his eyes full of love.
Fang Zheng looked at his children, stroking his beard and smiling. With the destruction of the Lin Family, the worry on his face completely disappeared.
The family walked slowly along the lively street market. Fang Ying was full of curiosity about almost every snack he had never seen before, so Fang Han bought them one by one for her to try.
Behind him, Servant was holding various snacks in his hands, and the little guy was holding the newly bought snacks in his hands, eating them happily.
The sun shines warmly on the family, and the family enjoys the leisure and warmth of the New Year reunion.
After walking around for about an hour, it was noon, Fang Ying muttered.
"Dad, mother, brother, let's go to 'Hundred Flavors Tower' for dinner? I heard that the Eight Treasure Duck and Hibiscus Cake there are delicious!"
Fang Ying raised his face and suggested, his eyes shining with expectation.
Fang Zheng and Lin Wan looked at each other, hesitating slightly.
But Fang Han nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to Hundred Flavors Tower today and try the Eight Treasure Duck recommended by Xiao Ying."
Hundred Flavors Tower is a very famous restaurant in Liangshui City. The dishes are exquisite and the prices are high. Although their family was not in a tight situation in the past, they would rarely go to such high-spending places to dine.
However, with his current net worth, a meal of Hundred Flavors Tower is nothing.
When we arrived at Hundred Flavors Tower, we were sure to find a huge crowd of diners and all the seats had been reserved.
"I have met Master Han. It is our restaurant's honor that you come to our restaurant for dinner..."
The shopkeeper's sharp eyes recognized Fang Han, and his attitude immediately became extremely respectful and enthusiastic. He actually vacated a reserved private room and personally led Fang Han's family inside.
The dishes were served quickly, and they were all delicious and delicious. Fang Ying's mouth was shiny after eating them, and he praised them repeatedly.
The atmosphere at the banquet was warm, no one talked about the outside world, only interesting things at home.
After the meal, the family left Hundred Flavors Tower and returned to the Fang Mansion with satisfaction.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the mansion, a Servant quickly came up to him and saluted Fang Han respectfully.
"Master Han, Clan Head please go to the Pine Wave Pavilion conference hall immediately."
Fang Han heard this, his brows moved imperceptibly.
Lin Family has been destroyed and the overall situation has been decided. At this time, there is an urgent call. What happened?
A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, but his face remained calm as he said to his parents.
"Father, mother, you go back to the Rain-Listening Pavilion to rest first, I will come back as soon as I can."
After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the Pine Wave Pavilion.
Entering the meeting hall, I saw Clan Head Fang Lingyuan sitting at the main seat, and the four core members Elder, Fang Tu, Fang Yuan, Fang Mingde, and Fang Zhenshan, were sitting on both sides.
However, the atmosphere in the hall was not as relaxed and festive as expected, but instead exuded a depressing solemnity.
Fang Lingyuan frowned slightly and tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the rosewood chair unconsciously.
Fang Tu Elder sat with his arms folded, his face gloomy, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Elder Fang Yuan stroked his beard and said nothing, his gray eyebrows slightly frowned.
Fang Elder Mingde looked down at an account-like booklet in his hand, his expression not very good.
Even Fang Zhenshan, who always had an expressionless face, had colder eyes than usual.
The faces of the five people were all covered with a faint layer of sadness.
"Clan Head, four Elder, summoned me urgently. What happened?"
Fang Han's heart sank slightly, he took a few steps forward and bowed his hands.
"Fang Han, you are here, sit down."
Fang Lingyuan raised his head and looked at Fang Han, waved his hand, signaling Fang Han not to be polite, and spoke in a slightly low voice.
After Fang Han sat down, Fang Lingyuan pondered for a moment before continuing.
"Although Lin Family has been destroyed, the takeover and inventory of its industry have encountered some... strange things."
"Weird?"
Fang Han glanced at the expressions of several Elder, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded.
"Is there something fishy?"
Fang Lingyuan and Fang Tu looked at each other, and Fang Tu snorted coldly, with a bit of irritation in his voice.
"We checked Lin Mansion's warehouse and accounting room and found that the total value of cash silver, gold, and jewelry that can be easily converted into cash... is only more than 100,000 taels."
"Only more than 100,000 taels?"
Fang Han Hearing this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and for the first time his face showed a clear look of surprise.
"How is this possible?"
Lin Family has been entrenched in Liangshui City for decades and has many industries. Even though most of the wealth is in fixed assets such as mines, shops, and real estate, its flowing cash and valuables cannot be limited to this amount.
This is really too little, extremely rare!
"Although it is extremely surprising, it is what it is."
Foreign Affairs Elder Fang Mingde raised his head and put down the booklet in his hand. The smooth smile of the past was gone from his fat face, and it was filled with solemnity.
"We indeed only found financial assets worth more than 100,000 yuan in the Lin Mansion."
"We have repeatedly interrogated Lin Mansion's steward, accountant, and close servants of the core disciples. They all said that there are no records of large expenditures of property in recent years, but a large amount of money has disappeared without a trace."
Law Enforcement Elder Fang Zhenshan frowned.
"Did all this money disappear?"
Fang Han frowned.
"Not only that, when counting Lin Family personnel, it was discovered that there was one Lin Family Elder, and five Lin Family's highly respected Inner Hall disciples, but no bodies were found."
Fang Lingyuan's eyes were focused.
"Disappeared?" Fang Han was shocked, "But you took advantage of the chaos and escaped through the secret passage?"
"Lin Family does have several secret exits, but because our raid was extremely fast, no one had the chance to escape through the secret passage."
Fang Tu Elder shook his head.
"Then... six people?"
Fang Han's eyes were even more confused.
"According to the confessions obtained from separate interrogations of many Lin Family servants and maids, these six people... did not disappear that night, but disappeared two or three days before the New Year."
Fang Elder Zhenshan said in a deep voice.
"You left years ago?"
Fang Han Hearing this, his face instantly darkened.
A thought flashed through his mind. Did Lin Family know in advance that Fang Clan was going to take action, so he transferred his property in advance and sent away some of his core disciples to preserve his bloodline?
But as soon as this idea arose, he was immediately rejected.
Only the six people here know about the decision to destroy Lin Family.
The six of them share the same interests as Fang Clan, and there is absolutely no way they could leak it to the outside world, let alone tip off Lin Family.
Moreover, if Lin Family really knew such important news in advance, how could he send away only one Elder and five disciples?
The action will inevitably be bigger, either full-scale preparations for war, or the whole family will abscond.
