The fat old man looked at the fighting area for a while, shook his head, and got into the sedan chair. He shouted, "Return to the residence." The small sedan chair then slowly moved outside.
Lin Wanrong already knew who this person was. He immediately jumped out and shouted, "Mister in front, please wait."
His shout startled the few men surrounding the sedan chair. They immediately became nervous and surrounded the sedan chair, looking at Lin Wanrong with vigilance.
The old man opened the curtain and took a look. When he saw Lin Wanrong's face, he was stunned for a moment. An awkward smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand, saying, "Stop for a moment."
The old man slowly stomped down and cupped his fists at Lin Wanrong, saying, "May I know why this young master stopped this old man?"
Lin Wanrong saw that there wasn't much surprise in his expression, and he felt more confident. You old man, keep pretending. He laughed and said, "It's late today, so I came to this alley to play. I didn't expect to see old mister by accident. I think this mister must be very interested in this place. This can be considered fate, so I took the liberty to stop old mister. Please forgive me."
The few men guarding the sedan chair listened to his nonsense and thought, 'Play my ass. It's dark, and you're just a small servant. I'm afraid you're looking for trouble by stopping the sedan chair.'
"May I know what this young master wants?" The old man smiled, and the smile on his face squeezed his eyes into a small slit.
"Oh, I just happened to see a good show over there, and I'm a little scared. You have a pleasant countenance and a kind and benevolent countenance. You must be a magnanimous elder. I feel much better after seeing you, "Lin Wanrong boasted.
"Oh." The old man sighed and said, "I saw it too. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I came out to play. To be honest, I'm also a little scared, so I told the servants to leave early. I've become a joke in front of this little brother. "
What are you afraid of? You're even better at pretending than me. You're really an old fox. In the past, Lin Wanrong wanted to use Luoyuan's identity as the governor's son to strengthen Hongxing. And now this old man used Hongxing's power to restrain the Cheng father and son. Speaking of which, no one was easy to deal with. It was just that this old man had invested in his own son as well. His capital was a little too big.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Not a joke, not a joke. We're the same. Actually, I thought you looked familiar, so I followed you on purpose. "
The old man was surprised and said, "Oh, who do you think I look like?"
Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "In this piece of land in Jiangsu, you'll look like the biggest one."
The old man laughed and squeezed out a bitter smile, "Young Master Lin, there's no need to play riddles with me. Today, I've seen, and I've seen you before, and I've seen. I've seen, and I've seen. Long time ago, and I'm, I'm, and I've. you.
Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said with a respectful smile, "This one is Lin Wanrong. I pay respect to Lord Governor." Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and smiled respectfully. "My name is Lin Wanrong. Greetings, Governor."
Luo Min hurriedly said, "Young Master Lin, please don't be so polite. What bullshit innate talent and outstanding talent? You, this old fox, haven't even seen my face before and you're already duping me like this.
In terms of flattery, Lin Wanrong was an expert among experts. These few words of Lomin's were automatically filtered out by him. In terms of flattery, Lin Wanrong was an expert among experts. These few words of Lomin's were automatically filtered out by him.
He looked at Lomin curiously and said, "Where did Lord Luo's words come from? I'm just a lowly servant. I don't know how to read, nor do I know how to ride and shoot. I have neither power nor money, so how can I stand out? "
Lomin chuckled and said, "Reading, learning how to ride and shoot. Admittedly, there are some achievements, but in the end, you're still being ordered around. Let's not talk about it." The underlying meaning was that even if Lin Wanrong was ignorant and incompetent, he could still be a person above others. This was strange. Lin Wanrong had never interacted with him before. Why did this old man have such confidence in him?
Lin Wanrong looked at Lomin and probed, "That day when the restaurant opened, I was bestowed with a golden plaque by Lord. Today, you've also sent your son to help me. I'm really grateful. However, I've never met Lord before. How can I be valued so highly by Lord? "
Lomin looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled mysteriously, "Young Master Lin, you have outstanding talent. That day in the brothel, I've also heard about the three top courtesans. This old man is very much looking forward to it. You're skilled in business and have outstanding knowledge. I'm also very supportive of my son being on good terms with you. Knowing people is also my responsibility as the Premier of Jiangsu. There's such a talent in Jiangsu. How can I not take care of him? Although we haven't met, we've been friends for a long time. "
Damn, he was indeed a shrewd person. He didn't leak anything at all. Lin Wanrong didn't believe him. He smiled and said, "Since Lord Luo says so, I'm a little embarrassed. Fortunately, I've gotten to know quite a few scholars recently. I believe they'll be very moved after hearing Lord Governor's noble character and unquestionable integrity. I'm afraid that Lord Governor will receive a few golden plaques every day. "
Lomin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Young Master Lin, please don't joke. You've helped the Xiao Family and fought against the White Lotus. Your actions are extraordinary. It's only right for me to do something for you. "
What did that mean? Could it be that he was hinting that I've already been involved in some kind of battle? F * ck, it's fine if I take advantage of Lord Governor, but don't look for me for these factions' matters.
Lomin smiled mysteriously and continued, "Some time ago, I heard that Young Master Lin bravely fought against the White Lotus and rescued Lady Xiao. It's really a cause for celebration."
This old fox. Lin Wanrong cursed in his heart. Speaking of the White Lotus Sect, it's all because you, the Premier of the Province, didn't govern well. You still have the nerve to say that I fought against the White Lotus?
Lomin seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He sighed and said, "Although I have the heart to do anything about the White Lotus Sect, I'm also powerless. The troops and horses in my hands are all for the city's defense. That infantry camp is in the hands of Lord Cheng. Even if I have orders, I can't mobilize them. Occasionally, I've tried to arrest them, but they seemed to have received the news long ago and disappeared without a trace. "Lomin's eyes flickered with a shrewd light.
These words had a deep meaning. This old fox isn't a muddle-headed person. Lin Wanrong thought to himself. But this is a matter between you officials. What's the use of telling me? Is this your excuse to make use of Hong Xing? No matter how good Hong Xing's organization is, it's still a triad. It can't be compared to the Green Camp.
Lomin knew that this servant in front of her was a shrewd person who couldn't be deceived. She immediately said sincerely, "Young Master Lin, please be at ease. I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you. I believe that Young Master can also feel it. I came here today only because I'm worried about Little Yuan. This child has never fought with anyone in his life. "Speaking of Luoyuan, a trace of affection flashed in the old fox's eyes. It seemed that he loved this son very much.
Lomin didn't have any ill intentions. Lin Wanrong didn't doubt this. From the way he let Luoyuan get closer to him, it could be seen that this old man had bet all his capital on him. But the more it was like this, the stranger it got. I'm just a small servant. How could I make Lomin bet so much on me?
"Lord Luo, I'm very grateful for your kindness. But I'm a stubborn person. I don't believe that there's a free lunch in the sky. Lord's support for me must have been instigated by someone else. Am I right?" Since Old Man Luo didn't want to say it, I'll just point it out. Let's see if this old fox would admit it or not.
Lomin smiled bitterly. "I can't say it, and I don't dare to say it. Please forgive me, Young Master Lin. But please believe me. You have the protection of so many nobles. It's only a matter of time before you soar. "
F * ck, what protection? This old man only said half of what he wanted to say. It really made people anxious. Actually, Lomin's words had already given a very clear signal. There was indeed someone secretly helping Lin Wanrong.
Seeing that the old fox's expression didn't seem to be fake, Lin Wanrong was puzzled. Who was this person secretly helping him? Among the people he knew, Xiao Qingxuan was the most wealthy. Could it be that that girl really had a great background?
"Is it Qing Xuan?" Lin Wanrong asked tentatively.
Lomin's expression was calm. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Young Master Lin, please don't force me anymore."
F * ck, if I don't force you, who do I have to force? Old man, you're as slippery as a loach. You said the truth, but you still swallowed the second half. How could I not be depressed? But even if Qing Xuan was a princess, could a single sentence from a princess make this high official work so hard? With this old fox Luo's personality, he definitely wouldn't be so simple.
What a headache, what a headache. I don't know how big the background of this person is. Can he fight against the master behind Cheng De? If I choose the wrong side at a crucial time, I'll lose my head.
Seeing that he was thinking hard, Lomin said, "Young Master Lin, you don't have to guess anymore. Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare to tell you. You just have to do what you need to do and help the Xiao Family well. "
F * ck, why did the Xiao Family get involved again? Could it be that it wasn't Qing Xuan? The more I ask, the more troublesome it is. This old fox is playing Taiji with me.
Although he had some gains, it also gave rise to more problems. Lin Wanrong felt a bit of a headache. He looked at Lomin and said, "No matter what, Lord Xie Luo's advice is still very helpful. If you need my help with anything in the future, as long as it doesn't require money, just let me know. " Even at this time, he still did not forget his unscrupulous businessman nature. Apart from asking me for money, I can help you with anything else. Anyway, this Lomin is also under someone else's instigation to help me. It's fine as long as laozi means it.
Lomin nodded and said with a smile, "Young Master Lin is indeed straightforward. But I don't know if Young Master is free tomorrow. I would like to invite Young Master to a place with me. "
Lin Wanrong said with a chuckle, "Is it going to Myo Yuk Square? I haven't been there for a long time. I wonder if the sisters there still remember me? "
As the head of a province, Lomin could not stand his teasing. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to pick you up. You'll know when you get there."
After parting with Lomin, Lin Wanrong was still thinking about who was secretly supporting him from behind. Thinking about it, other than Qing Xuan, it seemed like there was no one else. But Lomin's expression told him that it would not be so simple.
Back at the Xiao Family, Lin Wanrong was worried about Qiaoqiao. He pulled a maid downstairs from Grand Mistress and said, "Did Miss Qiaoqiao, who talked to Grand Mistress last night, go back?"
The maid said, "Not yet. Grand Mistress made an appointment with Miss Qiaoqiao to have a long talk. Miss Qiaoqiao will be resting in Grand Mistress's room tonight. "
A long talk? Lin Wanrong, on the other hand, was taken aback. What could these two girls talk about? Through the lantern paper on Grand Mistress's window, he clearly saw two charming figures. Lin Wanrong was deeply confused …
