"How cowardly, I thought that young master would be able to fight me head-on." Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. He was really disappointed with Liang Yongqi. As expected from a third young master, their status and identity were already different.
"Cousin, I can smash that fellow with a single finger."
"If he dares to jump over, I will kill him."
Zhou Zhongmao didn't hold Liang Yongqi in any regard.
"Cousin, I told you that we were leaving, so why did you hit him?" Lin Fan said. His cousin's temper needed to change as he couldn't be too rash. He had to wait for one to finish their words.
If he had no patience, things would definitely go wrong in the future.
Zhou Zhongmao nodded his head. If other people said it he wouldn't bother listening; however, it was different when his cousin was the one saying it.
Suddenly, there was a commotion around them.
Many people ran towards the direction of the city gate.
"Something happened. Qin Family Village and Zhang Family Village gathered outside the city and are prepared to go all out against the aristocratic families!"
"That can't be true. Do they want to die?"
The commoners ran and discussed with one another.
This was a huge matter.
Daring to go against the aristocratic families was just asking to die.
"Let's go take a look." Lin Fan liked the commotion. Although he didn't get the full story, he roughly understood that the villages under the Yuan and Liang Families were going to rebel.
They were suppressed too heavily, which resulted in such a situation.
However, that had nothing to do with him.
That was really terrifying.
Outside the city.
The city protecting guards pulled their blades out and pointed them at the villagers. The shiny blades gave off a white light, and as long as anyone dared to move, they would be killed on the spot.
Many commoners watched.
They discussed secretly with one another.
They felt that these villagers weren't smart enough. How could someone with such a lowly position create trouble with the aristocratic families?
"Scram! Otherwise, I will kill you all without mercy!" At the front, a middle-aged male shouted in rage.
This was Manager Lu from the Lu Family.
At this moment, his face was dark and sunken. There was also a dangerous glow of anger in his eyes.
These villagers protesting here lost a lot of his face and made him seem useless in front of his master.
Manager Lu was in charge of the Qin Family.
Last time, he brought people to kill two people from Qin Family Village to threaten them. He gave them seven days for them to pay their farm taxes.
It seemed like it was not only useless, but it also caused them to revolt.
"Since you aren't letting us leave, then why will we be afraid of you killing us? You brought people to Qin Family Village and killed a mother and son pair! Are you still human?" The son of the village chief stepped out. His eyes were red as he shouted.
"Yes, that's right! Today you kill people from the Qin Family; in the future, our Zhang Family Village will also suffer the same fate."
"You and the Lin Family are all You City aristocratic families. They pitied the Wang Family Village and knew that there was a drought this year. Why can't you understand us?!" Someone from Zhang Family Village shouted out.
They had no good feelings towards the three aristocratic families of You City.
However, through the Wang Family Village matter, they noticed that the Lin Family was not that bad. They were reasonable and could understand them.
If they were people from the Wang Family Village, they would work hard to pay the taxes next year.
Manager Lu's face was cold as he said, "What connection do they have to us? The Lin Family Young Master is a fool. If you can't pay this year, then there is no need to pay in the future."
"Kill anyone who dares question an aristocratic family and dares to rebel."
With the order given, the guards wouldn't show any mercy.
To Manager Lu, even if they were killed, there would be people who would take over.
There were many refugees, and they didn't lack them.
A commotion!
The people from Qin Family Village and Zhang Family Village didn't expect Manager Lu to be so vicious.
Not bothering to talk to them.
He directly ordered the guards to kill them.
However, they weren't afraid. They linked arms and raised their chests to face him fearlessly.
Suddenly, a voice could be heard.
"F***! I came out for fun, yet someone said I am foolish. Who said that? Who is so bold?" Lin Fan wanted to take a fan and act cool, but he didn't have a fan. He had no choice and could only put his arms behind his back and walk out.
When Manager Lu heard that, he frowned. When he saw who came, he had a bad feeling.
When the Qin Family Village and the Zhang Family Village saw the person that came, they were a little restless.
"Young Master Lin, greetings."
The voice was really loud.
"En." Lin Fan nodded his head as a reply.
If it was before all this, the villagers wouldn't have any good opinion of Lin Fan.
After all, he was like a leopard of a hill.
However, Wang Family Village let them all see hope.
They felt that the Lin Family Young Master was different from the others.
"Gou'zi, someone scolded me just now. Who was it?" Lin Fan asked.
Gou'zi said, "It is the Yuan Family's Manager Lu."
Shua!
Lin Fan's eyes locked onto Manager Lu and said, "You useless fellow dared to scold me?"
"Lin…" Manager Lu cupped his fists; he didn't expect his words to be heard.
"Cousin."
"Yes, Cousin?" Zhou Zhongmao asked. He listened to cousin's words and calmed himself down. He had to finish listening to what he said, but he only said one word and didn't continue. He didn't know what to do.
"What are you doing being stunned there? Slap him." Lin Fan said.
"Okay." Zhou Zhongmao stared at Manager Lu before pushing off the ground. With a peng, he turned into a streak of light and struck towards him.
Manager Lu was shocked, and hollered in rage, "I am from the Yuan Family, you dare…"
That was what he said.
However, he didn't dare to be careless. He understood how strong Zhou Zhongmao is.
Really strong.
At this moment, Zhou Zhongmao appeared in front of Manager Lu. His arms locked onto his wrists and turned. With a kacha sound, both of his arms drooped down.
He then kicked at his knee.
Another kacha sound.
"Ah!"
Manager Lu cried out in pain.
"Scoff, with such strength, you dare to attack me? Let me tell you, if you scold my cousin, this is what will happen to you! You are lucky that you aren't killed."
Zhou Zhongmao threw a palm, and with a pa sound, he was smacked to the side.
Large amounts of fresh blood was seen around the corners of his mouth.
He walked back beside Lin Fan, "Cousin, was that okay?"
Lin Fan nodded his head, "Not bad, really not bad. You did well."
The place was totally silent.
No one expected that Lin Fan would issue an attack order.
The servants that followed Manager Lu over sneakily left.
No one noticed.
At that moment, Manager Lu knelt on the ground, his arms slouched down. He raised his head and looked at Lin Fan in anger, "Young Master Lin, you are too nosy. This is the Yuan Family's matter."
"Rage +66."
Lin Fan smiled, "You are lucky that I didn't kill you when you scolded me. Aren't you annoying? What a maniac, wanting to kill people. Should you clean the floor, or should you lick it clean?"
"Rage +88."
Manager Lu was in a bad state.
However, he didn't back down.
"This is the Yuan Family's matter, what does it have to do with you? If you want to be a good person, that is your problem."
"Qin Family Village belongs to the Yuan Family, and they should hand over their taxes."
"Or does your Lin Family want to interfere."
He said fiercely. It was okay for him to be beaten, but he had his master supporting him.
So what could the Lin Family Young Master do?
He didn't fear anything.
