Chapter 10 - I will retaliate if you want to hit me

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

这上午所做的事情,对林凡来说,很有成就感.

Everything he did in the morning gave Lin Fan a sense of achievement.

百姓饱受重税的摧残.

He eased the cruelty of the civilians suffering from taxes.

他身为林家公子,那地位是杠杠的,直接一句话,减税,免税,就这么完事了.

As the Lin Family’s Young Master, that was something he had to intervene with and directly say something to reduce it and remove it.

“公子,小的感觉,那苏家老者好像已经知道了什么.”

“Young Master, I feel like the Su Family old butler seems to know something.”

陈管事在旁小声道.

Manager Chen said softly.

至于那七小姐,他倒是感觉,那七小姐眼睛可能有点瞎.

As for that Seventh Little Miss, he felt like she might just be blind.

当面被打.

She was smacked head-on.

竟然没看清打人者是谁.

And actually couldn’t recognise who it was.

林凡没放在心上,”知道就知道呗,没事,等找上门的时候在说.”

Lin Fan didn’t care, “So what if he knows? It is okay; let them come over and find us.”

他现在就是富家公子.

He was the son of a rich family now.

无法无天的.

He could do whatever he wanted.

不就揍了外乡人,有什么大不了的.

He just beat up someone who is not from this place; it wasn’t a big issue.

刚刚还关心了一下人家,对方也显的很受用.

He showed some concern for her, and it seemed like she was happy about it.

陈管事对自家公子真是不知如何言语.

Manager Chen really didn’t know what to say to Young Master.

“表弟,表哥对你不错吧,带你出门溜达,立马就能动手,感觉如何?”林凡搂着周忠茂的肩膀问道.

“Cousin, I have treated you good right. I brought you out, and you could beat people up, how did it feel?” Lin Fan patted Zhou Zhongmao’s shoulder and asked.

周忠茂微微一颤,表哥竟然搂自己肩膀,这可是好久都没有过的事情了.

Zhou Zhongmao shook, Cousin actually patted his shoulder. That was something that didn’t happen in a long time.

他很享受现在的氛围.

He loved the current atmosphere.

“表哥,太舒服了,能跟表哥出来,就是涨见识,什么苏家不苏家的,要是敢找表哥麻烦,我第一个就不同意.”周忠茂说道.

“Cousin, it feels great. To be able to follow you out helps me to grow my knowledge. Who cares about the Su Family, I wouldn’t agree with anyone who finds trouble with Cousin.” Zhou Zhongmao said.

林凡笑着,拍着对方肩膀,”舒服就好,以后机会多得是,况且这里是幽城,咱们的地盘,还能怕了外来者,不服就干他们.”

Lin Fan smiled and patted his shoulder once more, “That’s good, there will be more chances in the future. Moreover, You City is our territory, so who cares about outsiders. If they are unhappy, then just beat them up.”

周忠茂点着头.

Zhou Zhongmao nodded his head.

表哥说什么那就是什么.

Whatever Cousin says is right.

他是无条件服从的.

He would follow without any questions.

从小练武为的是什么?

What was the reason he cultivated?

那就是为了保护表哥,谁也不能欺负自己表哥.

That was to protect Cousin. No one is allowed to bully him.

林府门口.

Lin Manor entrance.

“陈管事,这事瞒是瞒不住的,你去跟我爹,如实汇报,就说我一意孤行,要打要揍,随意来.”林凡说道.

“Manager Chen, the matter of the taxes can’t be hidden. Go and report it to my father and said that I acted on my accord. If he wants to beat me up, then let him come.” Lin Fan said.

“公子…哎,小的明白.”陈管事想说什么,但最终只能同意.

“Young Master… Ha, I understand.” Manager Chen wanted to say something, but he could only end up agreeing.

他身份低微,将这事揽在身上,那怕是走不出林府.

He had a low status, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to walk out of the Lin Manor if he took responsibility.

不被老爷打死,也得躺十天半个月.

He would either be beaten to death or would have to lay down for half a month.

林凡从不做违心事,虽然目的是怒气,但有的事的确是过分了点.

Lin Fan never did things that went against his heart. Although his goal was for the rage points, the matter was indeed a little too much.

看不下去啊.

He couldn’t take it standing.

偌大的林家,要是靠苛刻的农税来养活,他都瞧不起自己.

The huge Lin Family, if they had to depend on such unreasonable farmer taxes, he really couldn’t live with it.

这挥霍潇洒,都没感觉.

Even if he spent money so freely, it wouldn’t feel good.

“表哥,不如让我来认吧,就算姨夫很生气,也绝不会打死我的.”周忠茂想将这事情揽到自己身上.

“Cousin, why not let me do it? Even if Uncle is angry, he won’t beat me to death.” Zhou Zhongmao wanted to take responsibility for it.

表哥让姨夫很失望,也很生气,日积月累,难说不会一下子爆发出来.

Cousin made Uncle disappointed and angry. It was something that accumulated over days and months, and it wasn’t certain whether or not it would explode in the next moment.

如果真要出了事,失了手,可不得了.

If something really happened, that would be bad.

“你认什么认?一人做事一人当,我干的就我干的,你认为表哥是那种畏惧的人吗?”

“What are you talking about? I was the one who did it. Do you think I am such a coward?”

“不说了,该干嘛干嘛去,我先回院落了.”

“Stop talking; just do what you should do. I will return to my courtyard.”

林凡摆着手,带着狗子离开.

Lin Fan waved his hand and brought Gou’zi away.

这怒气点有点多.

His rage points were a little high.

没事得琢磨一下.

得加加点.

He had to spend it and increase his stats.

周忠茂还想说什么,可此时,林凡早就离开,也不给他这机会.

Zhou Zhongmao wanted to say something, but Lin Fan left and didn’t give him a chance.

“陈管事,我跟你一起去,记住了,要是姨夫很生气,可一定要跟我说好话,知道吗?不然表哥得脱层皮.”

“Manager Chen, I will follow you over. Remember, if Uncle gets angry, you have to speak good things together with me. Understood? Otherwise, Cousin will die.”

“知道.”陈管事应道.

“Understood.” Manager Chen replied.

他人微言轻,能有什么用,真要说话,那也得靠你啊.

He was a lowly servant, how would his words be useful? If it was about talking, then it would be mainly him speaking anyways.

…

“公子,您要不就先去老爷那里认个错吧,此事有点重大,老爷知道肯定要大发雷霆.”狗子担忧道.

“Young Master, why not just head over to Old Master and admit your mistakes? This matter is huge, and he will definitely be furious.” Gou’zi said worriedly.

以前公子不爱修炼,就让老爷很生气,但至少没有做忤逆的事情.

In the past, Young Master didn’t like to cultivate, and that made Old Master really angry. However, at least, he didn’t go against him.

可如今.

突然降了税,更是免了今年的农税.

However, today, he lowered the taxes and even pardoned it for this year.

老爷要是知道,绝对大发雷霆.

If Old Master found out, he would definitely rage.

此时,林凡表现的不慌,但被他们说的心里都有些慌了.

At this moment, Lin Fan didn’t show any panic, but even he got a little worried since they talked about it so much.

有点道理.

That made sense.

虽然是儿子.

可真要教训一顿,也不为过.

Although he was the son, it made sense if he was punished.

“狗子,去给我找把刀来.”林凡沉思片刻,赶紧让狗子去拿刀.

“Gou’zi, help me find a blade.” Lin Fan was in deep thought and told Gou’zi to grab a blade.

狗子大惊,急忙道:”公子,不能冲动啊.”

Gou’zi was shocked and said anxiously, “Young Master, don’t be rash.”

“冲动什么,赶紧去拿,别问这么多.”林凡催促着.

“What rash? Just go get one, don’t ask so much.” Lin Fan hastened him.

还以为拿刀是要跟老爷拼命吗?

Did he think that he was going to take the blade to fight Old Master?

开什么玩笑.

What a joke.

虽然无法理解老爹的实力到底有多强.

但能靠自己一人,创立出林家,那能是简单人物?

Although he didn’t know how strong Old Master was, for him to create the Lin Family by himself, how could he be weak?

来到院落.

躺在椅子上.

Lin Fan was in his courtyard, lying on a chair.

天崩也得稳住.

Even if the sky fell, he had to calm himself down.

查看小辅助内容.

He looked at the stats.

Lin Fan

林凡

Physique: 18

体魄:18

内力:0

Internal Strength: 0

心法:

Heart Cultivation: Nil

功法:虎煞刀法（入门）

Cultivation Technique: Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique (Basics)

怒气点:1025.

Rage Points: 1,025

“体魄现在是十八,刀法已经入门,等会必须好好表现一下.”他琢磨着,现在到底该怎么加点.

“My Physique is now 18, and my blade technique is at the Basic level. I have to show off later.” He was thinking about what stats to increase.

别说什么修炼不修炼的.

等会要是没点表现,肯定得被揍.

Not to mention cultivation, he would be beaten up if he didn’t show off later.

不过暂时先别急.

However, he wasn’t in a rush.

看看这怒气怎么个涨幅.

Just look at the number of rage points he can spend.

没过多久.

Not long later.

“怒气+150.”

“Rage points +150.”

“怒气+200.”

“Rage +200.”

不好.

Not good.

完犊子了.

He was dead.

起步怒气就是一百五,足以说明,老爹正在暴怒的气头上.

He received 150 rage points right from the start, that showed that his father was furious.

林府大厅.

Lin Family Hall.

林万易面无表情站在那里.

Lin Wanyi stood there expressionlessly.

“老爷,事情就是这样.”陈管事畏惧的将农税之事说出.

“Old Master, the matter was like that.” Manager Chen described the farmer tax situation fearfully.

埋首,不敢跟老爷对视.

He lowered his head and didn’t dare to stare into his eyes.

不用想也知道,老爷肯定会怒.

Without even thinking, he knew that Old Master would be angry.

大厅内安静的很.

The hall was really silent.

暂时无声.

There was no sound at all.

周忠茂与陈管事有些疑惑,老爷怎么还不说话?

Zhou Zhongmao and Manager Chen was surprised, why didn’t Old Master say anything?

“逆子.”

“This unfilial child. ”

顿时,当听到老爷咬牙切齿说出这两字的时候,他们知道,老爷是真的怒了.

Instantly, when they heard him grit his teeth and say those words, they knew that he was furious.

陈管事微微抬头,发现老爷脸色铁青,那眼神里散发出来的神光,就跟要杀人似的.

Manager Chen raised his head and saw that his face was green, the gaze from his eyes looked like they could kill.

噗通!

Putong!

“老爷,是小的没劝住,还请老爷消气.”陈管事跪下,额头汗珠坠落.

“Old Master, I wasn’t able to stop him, please appease your anger.” Manager Chen knelt down; cold sweat dripped down his face.

林府里.

Lin Manor.

敢无视老爷的也只有公子.

Only Young Master dared to not bother with Old Master.

其余人都畏惧万分.

Everyone else feared him.

“姨夫,表哥他也不是有意的,今年大旱,表哥也是心软,才会这么做.”周忠茂也急忙说道.

“Uncle, Cousin didn’t do it on purpose. It is dry this year, and his heart turned soft for him to do that.” Zhou Zhongmao said hurriedly.

林万易怒声道:”想做好人,他没这资格.”

Lin Wanyi said furiously, “He doesn’t have the right to be a good person.”

话音落下.

他来到陈管事面前,”把你软鞭拿出来.”

The moment he said that, he arrived in front of Manager Chen, “Take out your whip.”

陈管事不敢多言,老老实实的将缠绕在腰间的软鞭双手奉上.

Manager Chen didn’t speak, handing over the soft whip that was around his waist.

林万易接过软鞭,什么话都没说,就朝着外面走去.

Lin Wanyi took it and walked out without saying anything.

显然是要去找那逆子.

He was going to search for that kid.

“姨夫,消消气.”周忠茂追上去,满头是汗.

“Uncle, please calm down.” Zhou Zhongmao rushed to keep up; he was sweating profusely.

林万易那是真的要气疯了.

Lin Wanyi was really letting the anger get to his head.

成事不足败事有余.

He was just making things worst.

怎么就生出这逆子.

He gave birth to such a kid.

农税是他能改的吗?

Was farm taxes something that he could change?

袁家,梁家都不敢随意改动农税.

The Yuan Family and Liang Family didn’t dare to change it easily.

逆子是要坏事.

This kid was going to spoil things.

后院.

Back Courtyard.

“公子,老爷来了.”狗子气喘吁吁的跑来,他听从公子的话,早早就在外面蹲守,只要看到老爷来,就赶紧来通报.

“Young Master, Old Master is here.” Gou’zi panted as he ran over. He listened to Young Master and waited outside. He was to report as soon as he saw Old Master.

林凡躺在椅子上,急忙将水果塞进嘴里.

Lin Fan laid on a chair and shoved a fruit into his mouth.

还真来了?

He really came?

他就在想,老爹来的可能性大不大?

He was thinking about how the chance of him coming wasn’t high.

如果没来.

那就暂时不急着加点.

If he didn’t come, then he didn’t need to rush to add points.

但看现在这样子,必须得加,否则来不及.

Looking at things now, he had to increase his stats or it would be too late.

快速加点.

He quickly spent his rage points.

体魄从十八提升到二十.

Physique went from 18 to 20.

消耗二百怒气点.

He used 200 rage points.

紧接着,他赶紧加功法.

After which he added some points to cultivation technique.

必须稳住.

He had to calm down.

来者气势汹汹,如果感动不了,那必须让老爹知道,想揍我,我可是会反抗的.

Old Master was angry. If he couldn’t impress him, then he had to let him know that he would fight back if he wanted to beat him.
