East of the city, civilian area.
In a humble rented house.
Lin Hao sat down at the table, and the kung fu fly that had just flown in from the window placed a golden ring on the table.
This ring is inlaid with stone diamonds on the surface, but it is not an ordinary decorative ring.
Because some mysterious runes were engraved on the inner ring of the ring, it faintly emitted an invisible spatial energy fluctuation.
The energy atmosphere was the same as that of the storage bag.
Undoubtedly, this is a space ring that is even more advanced than a storage bag.
Although the object is small, the storage space area is hundreds of square meters.
And it is very convenient to wear on the finger and carry around.
However, this thing is very expensive. The market price of a space ring is five million liang, which ordinary people cannot afford.
In order to save money, Lin Hao had to settle for a storage bag bought from an appliance store for 200,000 liang.
But that ten square meters of space can only hold some daily necessities at most.
It was like a space ring, with a huge space inside, which was more than enough to move the entire mansion into.
That old bald pig is quite rich.
Lin Hao reached out and held the golden ring in his hand, playing with it and muttering to himself.
This space ring was taken from Li Qingshou by Kung Fu Fly before he left.
In this regard, Lin Hao could not help but feel that status determines everything.
But the higher the status of the person, the different treatment they enjoy, no matter what resources they use, they are the best.
Immediately, Lin Hao's mind moved slightly, and his spiritual power suddenly penetrated into the space ring.
However, except for some antiques with a sense of time, the rest are all tonic herbs for nourishing blood and qi, and most of them are mainly for strengthening the yang.
There are not many golden tickets, only hundreds of thousands, but unfortunately the golden card has a binding spell, so unless it's the owner, no one else can use it.
Otherwise, with the status of Li Qingshou, the old landlord of the Li family, the amount of money in the card would definitely be substantial.
"Hey, what are these iron boxes for?"
As he was counting the items, Lin Hao suddenly noticed ten large golden iron boxes stacked in the deepest space.
Lin Hao's mind moved slightly and directly took it all out.
Ten iron boxes that were as tall as a man suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It's a strong aura."
Lin Hao was shocked and clearly felt the aura of these iron boxes.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound rang out in the room, and Lin Hao immediately opened the front box.
But inside, there were blocks of red and translucent stones, which exuded a spiritual aura mixed with a hint of searing energy waves.
Are these... Lingyang Stones!
Although Lin Hao had never seen the Lingyang Stone, he guessed it at once.
These Lingyang stones are shaped like rhomboids, and each one is extremely pure in quality.
According to the market price, one Lingyang Stone is equivalent to 12,000 taels.
And this large iron box was neatly stacked with Lingyang Stones, presumably at least 300 or so.
This is a huge fortune!
Lin Hao managed to control his excitement and asked Kung Fu Fly and Tarantula to open all the remaining nine boxes.
What caught my eye was also the bright Lingyang stone, which cast a red glow on the entire room.
"Three hundred Lingyang Stones, ten boxes, that's three thousand in total, which is equivalent to... thirty million!"
Looking at the ten iron boxes filled with Lingyang Stones, Lin Hao had a hint of surprise on his face.
This fortune is undoubtedly a timely help for Lin Hao at present.
Since acquiring the God-level animal evolution system, he has already acquired three pets, spending nearly 20 million yuan.
If he didn't get any more, he might have to start cleaning again before the time when the Mansion paid him.
Fortunately, Li Qingshou, this old guy, has so many Lingyang Stones, which is a windfall!
"According to Chen Hu, the cooperation between the Lin and Li families will only begin after the wedding."
Lin Hao thoughtfully muttered, "But now, Li Qingshou's space ring has so many Lingyang stones. Could it be that the Li family has secretly mined in the mine?"
Thinking of this, Lin Hao's brow showed a hint of coldness.
That old guy is really a crafty old fox. He even used the Lin family's prestige to intimidate other forces in the city.
If we wait until next month to get married, I'm afraid there won't be many Lingyang Stones left in the mine.
In the name of cooperation with the Lin family, he secretly carried out this scheme, which not only collected a large amount of resources, but also allowed him to marry Lin Wanrong.
It's not a good thing to get both money and talent!
"The master of the Lin family can sacrifice anyone for the benefit of the family. I wonder how he will react when he knows he has been deceived this time."
In a flash, a wry smile appeared on Lin Hao's lips.
The expression of Lin Hongkang when he learned that he had been deceived flashed through his mind, and Lin Hao could not help but feel a sense of revenge.
Immediately, he waved his hand and directly put all the iron boxes into the space ring, planning to go to Lin's house again.
At this moment, the hall of the middle courtyard of the Lin family.
Lin Hongkang and four elders of the family's senior leadership were all gathered here.
"Has the inn received any relevant task orders regarding the assassination of the Li family leader?"
Lin Hongkang asked with a frown and a calm face.
It can be seen that he is extremely irritated at this time.
Although the mining output of Lingyang stone vein is not much, the total value is estimated to be several billion.
If they can share 50% of the resources, the family's industrial chain in the city will quickly develop to a certain scale.
However, now that Li Qingshou has died, it seems that the cooperation between the two families, which had been previously agreed upon, will be cancelled.
For the family, it is undoubtedly a great loss of interest!
"Report to the master, the black inn has never had such a task."
The bearded elder with white eyebrows shook his head and said with doubt, "The Lord of the Li Family doesn't know who he has offended, but he has already incurred a fatal disaster.
"Whoever it is, the assassin must be a highly capable and powerful person."
"Yes, he can kill the head of the Li family quietly under the eyes of many guards, he is definitely an expert!"
And the murder method is very similar to that of Li Dajiu, the owner of the gambling house who died a while ago, and Ma Feiyu of the auction house.
In the hall, the second, third, and fourth elders also began to discuss.
Hmm?
Lin Hongkang's face darkened slightly.
He looked at the four elders and frowned, "Is the person you're talking about the mysterious assassin, Jing Ke, who has emerged recently?"
Yes, that's him.
The Elder nodded and said hoarsely, "According to the situation, our Black Shop received a time-limited task half a month ago.
The execution site is located in the underground market trading center, which is our family's auction hall. And the assassination time must be precisely at the moment when the lights are turned off during the auction opening.
Lin Hongkang said calmly, "Well, I've heard about this too. According to the news from the shopkeeper Tong, the time-limited task was actually ordered by the people from the Hell Club as a test to select new members.
"And that Jing Ke, is the chosen assassin!"
At this point, Lin Hongkang's face became even more gloomy. If it was really this person, then things would be a bit difficult.
Could it be that the royal family of the Mofei Dynasty also knew about the Lingyang stone mine?
Is that why he wanted to kill Li Qingshou?
But on second thought, Lin Hongkang denied this idea.
After all, with the rich heritage of the royal family, how could they care about that small Lingyang stone vein.
Besides, even if you want to, why use a bull's knife to kill a chicken?
A word from the royal family can make the Li family surrender the ownership of the mineral vein.
Lin Hongkang couldn't understand this.
"Well, tomorrow you can follow me to Li's mansion to pay tribute to the master of the Li family."
Lin Hongshen sighed and said, "However, our main purpose is to find out who the successor of the new head of the family is, and then discuss cooperation with him on the mining of the Lingyang stone vein.
I see.
The four elders nodded slightly, but each of them had a hint of a smile in their mouths.
In their view, it would be better for Li Qingshou, the old lecherous pig, to die. Although the family's interests would be affected, at least Lin Wanrong would not be harmed by him.
You don't have to waste your energy.
Just then, a indifferent voice came from the gate.
Lin Hongkang and others looked slightly shocked, and five sets of eyes almost simultaneously cast their gaze in his direction.
But it was Lin Hao who came in.
Seeing Lin Hao, Lin Hongkang's frown unfolded.
"Four grandfathers, long time no see."
Entering the hall, Lin Hao first paid a family junior salute to the four elders.
I remember when I was young, they specially studied various treatment plans in order to regain their sight.
Although the results were not half-improved, in Lin Hao's impression, these four old people were quite good.
As for Lin Hongkang, he was ignored directly.
Being forced to marry into the Zhao family was a humiliation for his entire life.
And the main culprit is undoubtedly Lin Hongkang.
In order to tie up the financial backer of the Zhao family's black shop, this guy forced a marriage with the Zhao family on the pretext of improving relations between the two families.
But in the end, he agreed to let Zhao Ling'er marry a member of the Lin family, and chose himself instead!
Lin Hao, do you know that our master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time today?
Lin Hongkang stared at Lin Hao, asking with a tone of doubt, "Besides, what did you just say?"
Lin Hao shrugged and said, "After Li Qingshou's death, going there would only be a waste of time for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongkang felt displeased and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense. The complex interests between families are not something that a child like you can understand.
I really can't understand it, otherwise you wouldn't have sold it to me in the first place.
Lin Hao sneered and said, "To be honest with you, the mineral vein cooperation is just a delaying tactic of the Li family. Don't be too naive."
"A delaying tactic?"
Lin Hongkang and the four elders all looked at Lin Hao with a slightly shocked expression.
As far as I know, Li Qingshou had already ordered people to secretly mine Lingyang Stone in the mine vein a few days ago.
Lin Hao looked calm and said, "So I believe that you all understand the meaning without my excessive explanation.
What?!
Hearing this, the four elders' faces turned pale and their eyes flashed with anger.
Lin Hongkang was so angry that he stood up and slammed the table, which immediately turned into powder.
Long before, the Li family had dispatched a large number of guards to the manor of the mine vein and set up a restricted area. In fact, he had already suspected something.
I thought the Li family didn't have the courage, but they dared to put themselves in my way.
"You bastard!"
Lin Hongkang's anger grew as he stared at Lin Hao and asked, "Where did you get this information?"
Lin Hao said calmly, "A friend of mine told me that Li Qingshou's space ring contains a large amount of Lingyang Stone, about three thousand pieces."
Upon hearing this, the master of the Lin family and others looked a little bit solemn.
They were very clear that with the financial resources of the Li family, they simply could not acquire so many Lingyang Stones.
Moreover, the martial arts talents of Li family members are mediocre, at most reaching the level of a level-two warrior. Spending a lot of Holy-Yang Stones to cultivate them is undoubtedly a waste of money.
So, the only possibility is that the Li family has indeed been secretly mining the vein, violating the previous agreement with the Lin family!
Who is your good friend? What does he look like?
Lin Hongkang continued to ask, trying to control his anger.
After all, this matter is not trivial. As the head of the family, everything he does will affect the interests of the family.
He is an assassin named Jing Ke.
Lin Hao said lightly, "As for appearance, don't forget that I'm blind."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongkang's gaze froze and he looked at the four elders beside him in surprise.
The person who assassinated Li Qingshou was indeed the mysterious assassin!
For this, Lin Hongkang and his team seemed to have believed in Lin Hao's words.
At this time, their eyes on Lin Hao were somewhat impressed.
Obviously, it was unexpected that Lin Hao knew that assassin.
"Since the Li family does not uphold integrity, do not blame us for being ungrateful!"
Lin Hongkang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold voice was filled with a sense of ruthless murder. He immediately ordered, "Send word to all the warriors above level three in the family to mobilize and rush to the Li's Mountain Manor outside the city. Destroy them!"
After saying that, Lin Hongkang reached into his storage bag and took out a purple long sword. With the infusion of spiritual energy, the thunderous light flashed and filled with a terrifying and vicious aura.
"A strong breath."
Seeing this, Lin Hao felt a slight chill.
Compared to the previous time when he used his aura to oppress himself, he was now several times stronger.
Lin Hao was not ignorant of this, and knew that the head of the family had actually left a trick up his sleeve, but was only making a show of it in front of Li Qingshou.
If he really did it, with Lin Hongkang's level six peak strength and the power of his casual move, he might not be able to withstand it.
After a few minutes, in the front courtyard of Lin's mansion.
At this moment, more than a hundred Lin family guards and family members gathered here, all heavily armed and full of ferocity.
Ma Liu and Chen Hu were both among them.
At the front of the team, there is the family martial arts master, Lin Xionggang.
He had been in the battlefield for many years, and had been very skilled in fighting.
As the Elder Expert revealed the truth, the crowd was undoubtedly extremely angry, and most of their eyes were pointed at Lin Hongkang somewhat subtly.
I never thought that the master of the family would be deceived one day.
Lin Hongkang, with a long knife in his hand, his face changing, was also quite angry.
"Let's go! Let's destroy those bastards!"
Immediately, he waved his hand and led the many people of the Lin family to surge out of the gate of the mansion with an overwhelming momentum.
Then he rode the war horses prepared by his servants and headed for the Li's Mountain Manor outside the city, intending to seize the Lingyang stone mine.
The matter of Sister Wan has been resolved.
Not far away, Lin Hao watched silently, a hint of a smile forming on his lips.
