"I am Lin Hu, the head of the Lin Mansion. May I know how to address you, Lord?"
Lin Hu cupped his hands towards Ning Qi.
"River (Yin) City, Ning Qi."
Ning Qi smiled lightly.
"It really is Jiangyin City …"
Hearing this, Lin Hu's body trembled slightly, then he glanced at Zi Yun. In his heart, he could already determine Zi Yun's status.
"I see that you are in a dilemma, do you already know why we are here? If you have any difficulties, you can say it, I am not an unreasonable person. "
Ning Qi smiled.
Of course I am in a dilemma!
Lin Hu couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart. At that time, he'd bought this house for the sake of currying favor with the Zi Clan's Young Master Zi Tian, yet who would have known that this house didn't belong to Zi Tian? However, since Zi Tian had spoken, they had no choice but to brace themselves and buy it.
After buying, they were actually relieved, thinking that with Zi Tian around, even if the owner of the house came looking for them, they would not be afraid, but …
Who would have thought that today, the person who came looking for them would be a superior of Six Doors?
A purple Qilin robe, wasn't this an important person who was almost on the same level as Gongsun Tiehou of Six Doors?
"Master Lin, if there is anything, please speak your mind. My time is limited, I have rushed all the way from Jiangyin City to the capital, it is time for me to have a good rest."
Ning Qi said lightly.
"Lin Hu, Lord is asking you a question, you better tell him everything you know, otherwise, I will take you back to Six Doors."
Lu Heng said coldly.
Lin Hu's heart thumped, then he said in a low voice, "Reporting to Lord, this house was indeed bought from Zi Tian."
"Was the deed complete at that time?"
Zi Yun asked coldly.
Lin Hu glanced at her, his lips moved a few times, and then he muttered with a voice that was like a mosquito. "Although the deed to the house wasn't complete at that time, Young Master Zi Tian guaranteed that this house was ownerless, so this commoner directly spent a large sum of money to buy it from Young Master Zi Tian …"
Lu Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule, he looked at Ning Qi, "Lord, do you want to capture this cunning fatty and bring him back to Six Doors? I have a hundred ways to make him spill everything about how he peeked at the widow next door bathing when he was a child! "
"Your Excellency, please wait. I have never peeked at Widow Zhang bathing!"
Lin Hu quivered and subconsciously defended himself.
Lin Bin's expression suddenly became a little strange as he glanced at Lin Hu. Lin Hu also seemed to realize that he had said something inappropriate and hurriedly shut his mouth.
"Even if you didn't peep at the widow bathing, if you don't answer His Excellency's questions honestly today, I'll capture you and bring you back to Six Fan School. You didn't even know whose house this is. How dare you buy it without the deed? Taking a step back, you're trespassing on the residence of the commander of Six Fan School. According to the law, I can kill you ten times over!"
Lv Heng's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with killing intent, causing Lin Bin and Lin Hu to feel the temperature in the room drop by several degrees. They could not help but shiver.
"When you took over this house, you should already know that this house belongs to my wife, right?"
Ning Qi said carelessly.
Lin Hu hesitated for a few moments, then made what he believed to be the best choice he had made in his life!
"Your Excellency, this commoner doesn't dare to hide anything. At that time, this commoner wanted to curry favor with Young Master Zi Tian, so I proposed to buy a house under his name at ten times the market price!
So Young Master Zi Tian sold this house to this commoner. At that time, this commoner asked for the deed, but was told by Young Master Zi Tian that this house belongs to the Zi Mansion of River Yin City. However, the Zi Family of the capital is the main branch, and the Zi Mansion of River Yin City is only a side branch. Therefore, this house also belongs to him. This commoner didn't speak carelessly, it was all said by Young Master Zi Tian himself.
This commoner had no choice. I've already given the money, if I don't … I'm afraid that Young Master Zi Tian will feel that this commoner didn't give him face. This commoner is only a small merchant, how can I go against the Zi Family … "
Lin Hu did not hide anything and said everything.
Lin Bin was dumbstruck. "Father …"
He didn't know why Lin Hu didn't hide anything. In this way, as long as his testimony came to light today, wouldn't his Lin Family completely offend the Zi Mansion?
When he thought of Zi Tian's temper, and that incomparably gloomy swordsman who followed him all day long, Lin Bin's hair stood on end.
He saw with his own eyes that swordsman killed five or six martial artists of the pugilistic world who dared to provoke Zi Tian with a single sword strike!
Lin Hu looked at Lin Bin with a stern gaze, stopping him from continuing. Then, he carefully looked at Ning Qi. In his heart, he didn't know if his frank confession would be exchanged for an opportunity.
Lin Hu was a merchant, so he was very shrewd. He was shrewd enough to buy a house that didn't belong to Zi Tian at ten times the market price, just to curry favor with Zi Tian, and use his relationship to take on a few big business deals, earning back the money he spent to curry favor with Zi Tian by ten times!
Therefore, after he confirmed that Ning Qi was the commander of Six Doors, he didn't care how Ning Qi could sit in such a high position at such a young age. He used an extremely short amount of time to weigh the pros and cons, and finally concluded that Zi Mansion couldn't compete with Ning Qi!
This was the intuition of a merchant! If he was asked to give a reason, he couldn't!
"You're honest."
Ning Qi smiled.
"My husband, should we go to the Zi family?"
Zi Yun suddenly asked.
Ning Qi found a trace of expectation in her eyes. He smiled and patted the back of her hand. "We have to go sooner or later. But just now, someone secretly went to Zi Mansion to send a message. We might as well sit here for a while and wait for the Zi family to come. It won't be too late to go with them."
Lin Hu's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Lin Bin, who nodded with a bitter face. Seeing this, Lin Hu directly knelt down in front of Ning Qi.
"Your Excellency, I didn't teach my son well. Please forgive me."
"What crime did Master Lin commit?"
Ning Qi smiled. "Why don't you help Master Lin up?"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
A constable walked to Lin Hu's side and lightly scooped him up. Feeling the power contained in the constable's palm, Lin Hu became even more fearful of Six Fan School.
Ning Qi smiled and chatted with Lin Hu, inadvertently mentioning some aspects related to Xiangwu Temple. He had obtained a lot of information about Xiangwu Temple from Lv Heng, but he also wanted to see the views of ordinary people like Lin Hu about Xiangwu Temple.
Lin Hu's view of Xiangwu Temple was very ordinary, just like that of ordinary people. When mentioning the abbot of Xiangwu Temple, his face was full of reverence.
After chatting for a while, they heard a slightly sarcastic voice coming from outside.
"Hurry up. I'd like to see who gave the girl in Jiangyin City the courage to set foot in the capital again. She's such a jinx. Isn't she afraid of killing the main branch of the Zi family? Could it be that this girl has such a motive? "
