Zhou Xingfa walked around in the living room with his hands behind his back.

After a while, the servants hurried over and reported loudly, "Master, come, come!"

The voice was clearly excited.

Zhou Xingfa's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Is it really here?"

"Yes, sir," reported Xie Renhui, "A'Fu has brought him in."

As soon as the next person finished reporting, Zhou Xingfa saw Lin Deshan stepping in, and immediately greeted him, then clasped his hands loudly, and said apologetically, "Brother Lin, I'm really sorry!"

He knew that as long as Lin Deshan returned to Qingfeng City, he would immediately be noticed by his former enemies.

In addition, there are rumors in Qingfeng City that the young master of the Lin family took the Lin family to Baolin Ji and disappeared together with the thousand-year-old ginseng.

This Lin Ji Pharmacopoeia records the prescriptions developed by the ancestors of the Lin family for hundreds of years to treat various intractable diseases.

This kind of thing, but I don’t know how many people want to get Lin Kee’s recipes.

Now that Lin Deshan suddenly returns to Qingfeng City, how many people will miss him?

Lin Deshan immediately said clearly, "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about? If Brother Zhou hadn't helped Weixiong twenty years ago, whether Weixiong would still be alive is still a question. What? Brother Zhou is in trouble now, how can you turn a blind eye and stand by?"

Zhou Xingfa said with a look of shame, "Only this time, although I want your help, I'm afraid it will greatly affect you, Brother Lin!"

Lin Deshan pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Zhou, why are you being polite to brother Wei? What's wrong with him? Now brother Zhou is in trouble, brother Wei still doesn't know if he can help. If you can really do your best to help Brother Zhou out of the predicament, even if it is to exchange your brother's life, it will be at all costs."

Zhou Xingfa was very moved when he heard what Lin Deshan said, but he did not agree.

He said, "Brother Lin, please don't say that. If you really want to exchange Brother Lin's life for the safety of my Zhou family, I would rather remain depressed until I go bankrupt! "

Lin Deshan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, let's talk about our lives first, Brother Zhou, tell your brother Wei what's going on first? Let's discuss it later. Let’s take a look at countermeasures and solutions.”

Zhou Xingfa nodded, "Brother Lin, please!"

Zhou Xingfa made a gesture to invite people to sit down.

After the two sat down, they drank tea and talked about the cause of the matter.

"This matter has to be mentioned half a month ago..." Zhou Xingfa said.

Half a month ago, Yuwen Feiye, the third prince, suddenly came to Qingfeng City as an imperial envoy and came to Qingfeng City to thoroughly investigate the corruption and bribery of Qingfeng City Governor Zhou Anping.

It turned out that a month ago, the Inspectorate received a report that Zhou Pingan, the governor of Qingfeng City, accepted a bribe from Li Fazhi, a big businessman, and two million taels of disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court half a year ago to treat the victims.

Because Qingfeng City belongs to the prince's uncle's uncle, and Zhou Anping and the prince's uncle Ye Songyang are in-laws, Zhou Anping's daughter is married to Ye Songyang's second son, which is a match.

So, under the wrath of the sage, he ordered the three emperors Yuwen Feiye to be the commissioned minister to investigate the matter thoroughly.

As soon as Yuwen Feiye arrived, he immediately took Zhou Anping's family into prison, and then sent troops to surround the governor's mansion, and not even a fly could fly out.

As for the current situation of the Governor's House family, Zhou Xingfa has no way of knowing.

Zhou Xingfa and Zhou Anping belong to clan, Zhou Xingfa's grandfather and Zhou Anping's grandfather belong to cousins, and Zhou Xingfa and Zhou Anping have a good relationship since childhood.

After Zhou Anping was promoted to the Governor's Office, Zhou Xingfa's industrial management and development are inextricably linked with Zhou Anping.

This time, what happened to Zhou Anping, those partners, customers, dignitaries, etc. who saw the wind, did not dare to come and trade with Zhou Xingfa, for fear of causing trouble.

Therefore, Zhou Xingfa's Guangjuyuan auction house is in vain, and its business is directly declining. If it continues like this, it may never be possible to get up again.

As a last resort, he thought of selling purple cloud flowers to his Lindeshan.

Because Lin Deshan put forward a condition when he sold purple cloud flowers to him, and promised to cooperate further in the future.

Who knows what this means.

I'm not telling Zhou Xingfa that in the future, it is very likely that medicinal materials such as Ziyunhua, or more valuable medicinal materials than Ziyunhua, will be auctioned by Guangjuyuan Auction House.

Hearing Zhou Xingfa's elaboration, Lin Deshan asked with doubts and seriousness, "Brother Zhou, tell me the truth, did Governor Zhou greedy for the disaster relief money before?"

Zhou Xingfa immediately shook his head solemnly and said, "No, Brother Lin, you believe me, absolutely not! That whistleblower is absolutely untrue!"

Lin Deshan lowered his eyebrows and lowered the curtains, and said with some doubts, "If there is no, why is it suddenly reported? The person who reports must have evidence in hand to convince the sage, and this will be angry. of."

Zhou Xingfa shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, I believe that my brother will never do stupid things like digging his own grave. Brother, he is an in-law with the prince's uncle. In other words, he It is the prince's party. If he is really greedy, let alone the sage refuses to forgive him, even the prince and the others will not forgive him lightly. What's more, when this incident comes out, the prince will definitely be greatly affected, so this is very likely to affect him. The great cause of the crown prince. Therefore, my brother will never be so stupid to be greedy for disaster relief."

Lin Deshan listened without speaking, and seemed to be thinking deeply.

Zhou Xingfa said so, but who doesn't know, this money moves people's hearts.

From ancient times to the present, there are many corrupt officials who are greedy for disaster relief money.

Zhou Anping, Lin Deshan is familiar with him. He used to think that he was an ambitious and idealistic young man.

I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and I don't know if this human nature has changed.

Therefore, Lin Deshan cannot judge Zhou Anping's character by listening to Zhou Xingfa's one-sided words.

Lin Deshan said, "Brother Zhou, let's not talk about this for a while."

Zhou Xingfa also knew that Lin Deshan might not fully believe what he said, so he continued to talk about this matter, and he said, "Well."

Immediately, the two fell silent.

After a while, Lin Deshan said to Zhou Xingfa, "Brother Zhou, as brother knows, the only way to save Guang Juyuan Auction House now is to take out a shocking treasure."

Speaking, Lin Deshan took out a sandalwood brocade box from his arms and said, "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng. Brother Zhou, take it to help!"

When he heard that the contents in this brocade box were thousand-year-old ginseng, Zhou Fangfa gave a shocked "deng", stood up from his seat, looked at Lin Deshan in disbelief, and his voice trembled. Then he said excitedly, "Brother Lin, this...this...is this thousand-year-old ginseng in it?"

He guessed that Lin Deshan would bring him some kind of very precious treasure to help Guangjuyuan tide over the difficulties, but he never imagined that it would be the thousand-year-old ginseng that everyone in the imperial power aristocracy desires 's treasure.

Lin Deshan nodded and said, "Yes, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Zhou Xingfa opened the brocade box with trembling hands, and then saw a white ginseng with full beard lying inside.

Zhou Xingfa Zhou family has been running the auction house for decades, and has long been trained to have a pair of keen eyes. At a glance, it is confirmed that this is a real thousand-year-old ginseng.

However…

Zhou Xingfa immediately put down the brocade box, pushed the ginseng back, shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, no, this thing is too precious, I can't take it!"

Lin Deshan pushed the thing back in front of Zhou Xingfa and said, "Brother Zhou, this is a little bit of care for my brother to help you, no need to refuse!"

Zhou Xingfa looked at the brocade box, and his eyes showed excitement, but he still refused, "Brother Lin, for my brother I know that this thousand-year-old ginseng is the heirloom of your Lin family, how can you sell it? So, Brother Lin, you should take it back. Find another way for your brother!"

Lin Deshan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Brother Zhou, you may have misunderstood. This thousand-year-old ginseng is not the heirloom of the Lin family. I gave it to my father, but my father was annoyed that I defeated the Lin Family Zhibao, and he refused to take it. Later, the rest of the ginseng was stolen and ran away by the servant."

Zhou Xingfa was even more surprised when he heard it.

"Then this..." He wanted to ask the origin of this ginseng.

When asked about this, Lin Deshan smiled and said, "Oh, this ginseng is given by my precious granddaughter."

Zhou Xingfa was stunned for a moment, and said with great surprise, "Your precious granddaughter? Brother Lin, you... Do you actually have a granddaughter?"

Lin Deshan replied with a smile, "Yes, my brother already has a granddaughter."

…

In front of the Fulai Inn, the largest inn in Qingfeng City, a very low-key and unobtrusive carriage was parked.

As soon as the carriage arrived, a man dressed in black and guarding walked out of the inn.

He bowed to the carriage and clasped his hands, "Master!"

"Yeah!" Then Lin Yuelan got off the carriage under the service of Caixia Mingyue.

Lin Yuelan didn't want to make a fuss because of her appearance. After all, this Qingfeng City is not that small county town, just some small powerful and small forces.

This Qingfeng City is a bustling city with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

She is here now mainly for Lin Deshan, but she doesn't want to be targeted by other forces at first and get into trouble.

Into the hotel room.

"Master, the old master arrived at Qingfeng City at three o'clock today, and as soon as he entered the city, he went directly to the Zhou Mansion where the owner of Guangjuyuan, Zhou Xing, made his fortune, and has not yet come out. Ming guard I have been secretly following and protecting the old master." Lin Xuxing reported truthfully.

Lin Yuelan sat on the table and listened to the reports of her subordinates very calmly.

"Also," Lin Xuxing continued to report, "Guard Ming and I found out that the old master was being watched as soon as he entered the city!"

Lin Yuelan asked coldly, "Who?" She asked who was eyeing Lin Deshan.

"It's Chen Shanbiao from the Jinjuyuan Auction House, and Zeng Yongming, the owner of Zengji Pharmacy!"

Lin Yuelan tapped on the table top, and immediately ordered, "Guards Xing and guard Ming continue to protect grandfather secretly, guard Jie and guard Song, and immediately investigate grandpa and the Zhou family and Jin Juyuan auction house in Qingfeng City. As for the grievances between Zeng Kee Pharmacy Zeng Yongming, I want to hear the results of the investigation before the 11th hour tonight!"

"Yes, Master!"

However, Lin Xujie asked with some doubts, "Master, do you want to inform the old master about your visit to Qingfeng City?"

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said coldly, "No! Since grandpa is in a hurry to come from Anding County, it must be because of some sophistication. We just need to watch from the side and protect his safety, no need Feel free to step in!"

"Yes, Master!"

…

Guanfu Hotel

Yuwen Feiye sat in the first seat and listened to the reports of his subordinates.

After listening to their subordinate's report, the three staff members immediately shouted excitedly, "Your Highness, it's really God's help. I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Lin family, Lin Deshan, jumped out on his own!"

Assistant Ma said, "Your Highness, I heard that the reason why Lin Deshan will return to Qingfeng City is because Zhou Xingfa, the owner of Guangjuyuan Auction House, brought him back."

Yuwen Feiye said with some doubts, "Why did Zhou Xingfa find him back?"

It is possible that Zhou Xingfa's auction house can be brought back to life, so Zhou Xingfa will call people back to help."

Yuwen Feiye immediately said excitedly, "So, Lin Deshan really has those thousand years of ginseng in his hands!"

Staff Jiang nodded and said, "There should be nothing wrong."

However, Yuwen Feiye said in confusion, "Will Lin Deshan give it?"

The three staff immediately frowned, as if thinking deeply.

Afterwards, Staff Ji said, "Your Highness, whether or not Lin Deshan will give this thousand-year-old ginseng to Zhou Xingfa, what we need to do now is, how to get this thousand-year-old ginseng from Lindeshan? "

Dong said Feiye but smiled proudly, "It's not easy. I'll send two people to arrest him secretly."

The three staff members looked at each other after listening, "This..."

They feel that this method is a bit inappropriate, but Lin Deshan is a person with no power and no status and background, and directly arresting people is indeed the most feasible way.

…

"Master, this is the result of the investigation!" Lin Xujie showed Lin Yuelan the Yita data.

Lin Yuelan took a quick look at these files, and then asked, "Is that all?"

Lin Xujie replied, "Yes, master! The old master was the eldest young master of Linji Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Qingfeng City, more than 20 years ago, and he is also the heir of Linji Pharmacy. It's just that , Twenty years ago, Lin Kee Pharmacy was framed, and people caught the medicine and ate the dead. After that, a series of vicious circles, misjudgment by fainted officials, and framed by the enemy, led to the death of the head of the Lin family, and the Lin family was fragmented. In the end, the Lin family was completely destroyed. Destroyed, the old master hid in Linjia Village and became a shopkeeper of an ordinary small drug store."

After a while, Lin Yuelan closed the file and asked softly, "Who was the person who framed Grandpa's family at that time?"
