Chapter 14: So painful, eyes are swollen

That afternoon, comments about the Wang Family Village not having to pay taxes spread about all the villages.

When they heard it, no one believed it and felt like they were just rumors.

If one believed that an aristocratic family could nullify taxes, it would be like a pig climbing a tree.

To say that the people didn’t envy them was fake. Why didn’t they face such good things?

Some emotional ones wanted to go against the Liang Family and Yuan Family.

However, the other people suppressed such people.

Were they asking to die?

To resist the two aristocratic families’ violent tax systems would cause the entire village to be killed the very next day.

No one will plead for them.

However, after today, there were many people who remembered the Lin Family’s Young Master.

To them, he had done a good deed. Very quickly they started to thank him.

That night, the Liang Family was having a rich family feast.

As the third young master of the family, Liang Yongqi had a high position in the Liang Family.

However, he still had an elder brother and elder sister above him.

The elder sister was okay, as she would be married away sooner or later.

To him, his only threat was his elder brother Liang Yichu.

No matter it be looks, height, or martial path, his brother was much better than him.

However, even so, he was thinking about how he could become the heir and be in charge of the family.

The main head.

The Liang Family Head thought about the matter he heard in the afternoon. He placed down his chopsticks and looked around, “I got news in the afternoon that the Lin Family kid went to Wang Family Village and exempt them from taxes this year. He also said that in the future they would be taxed only 10 percent per year. If the Lin Family falls into his hands, they would be not far from collapsing.”

The moment he said that, he felt like it was really interesting and drank on his own.

Liang Yongqi said, “Father, that kid is just trash, he is just waiting to die and is totally useless. He actually cares for those people. When the Lin Family falls in his hands, who would bother to pity him?”

“En, you are right.” The Liang Family Head nodded his head and agreed.

To Liang Yongqi, the moment he thought about Lin Fan, the rage in his heart would boil up.

He had lost all his face in Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.

He wouldn’t let the matter slide just like that.

“Older Brother, do you think that brat is dumb?” Liang Yongqi smiled and asked.

Liang Yichu was really handsome; his sword brows shook a little as he said, “I don’t think he did something stupid. There is a drought this year, and the people have been greatly affected. Reducing taxes and even exempting them for this year isn’t stupid and helps give them a path for survival.”

“Father, I think that we can reduce taxes to, to let them remember the kindness of the Liang Family.”

Underneath the table, the two little misses of the family kicked him to make him be quiet.

“Hehe.”Liang Yongqi smiled, “Brother, your words are wrong. How can we pity them? There are so many people waiting for us to help them. One or two silver and they would give up their lives for us. Ten would let them forget about their past.”

Liang Yichu shook his head, “Third Brother, you can’t say that, no matter what they are all lives.”

He looked towards his father.

“Father with the Lin Family leading, we also do not lack in taxes this year, so why shouldn’t we exempt them too?”

When he said that.

Pa ta!

The Liang Family Head smacked the table, causing chopsticks and bowls to scatter, “Nice, you are so benevolent, how can I hand the family to you like that? You need to learn from your Third Brother!”

“The Zuo City’s Su Family’s Seventh Little Miss has come to You City and is at the Yuan Family. Tomorrow little third will follow me, while you reflect at home!”

The moment he said that.

He left the table and walked to the back courtyard.

Liang Yongqi smiled and looked at his elder brother in glee, “Older Brother, it is useless to be kind. Just look at how the Lin Family will fall in that kid’s arms.”

He seemed to have thought about something.

“I heard that when the Su Family Seventh Little Miss came to You City, she faced some issues. I have to make some arrangements. Elder Brother, Second Sister, enjoy your meal, I will take my leave.”

At the table, the old and weak women were just eating with their heads down.

How could they speak regarding these matters?

“Older Brother, look at Third Brother, you are both brothers, would there be such a need to target him?” Second Sister was a little unhappy.

Liang Yichu shook his head, “Third Brother is still young and he will understand in the future.”

At that moment, a maidservant walked over with a bowl of soup, “Young Master, Second Little Miss, this is the soup made by the chef, have a taste.”

The Second Little Miss looked at the servant and smiled, “Yafei, you were the one that made it right? You just made extra for me right?”

After teasing her, she didn’t say anything else.

After all, this is a dining hall, and there were many people present.

If other people saw that, it would be a little problematic.

That night, the moon hung high in the air.

The Lin Family back courtyard was really quiet.

Lin Fan laid on his bed asleep. He breathed with a rhythm, causing the quiet back courtyard to have a different feel to it.

Zhi Zhi!

The window was pushed and gave out an ear piercing sound.

A person just stood there.

His face had a mask on and looked really horrifying.

He wore black colored assassin clothing and just stood there quietly.

If it were normal people with some cultivation, they would have woken up already.

However, Lin Fan was sleeping well and having a good dream.

How would he know about what was going on?

The black shirt man by the window wore a mask so one couldn’t see his appearance. However, if one took off the mask, they would see a frown.

The sound was so ear piercing.

How could he continue to sleep?

After standing there for a while, the black shirt man couldn’t take it and dropped his dagger into the room.

Kuang Lang.

“Who, who…”

Lin Fan was woken up.

When he looked towards the window, he noticed the guy jump in.

He was shocked.

His heart jumped.

Someone wanted to assassinate him?

He thought about it for a moment.

He didn’t offend anyone.

Just that Liang Family kid.

Would he be so shallow to kill him just like this?

“Who are you? This is the Lin Family and I am the Lin Family Young Master. If you do anything to me, my father won’t let you go.”

“Save me!”

“There is an assassin!”

“Quick, save me!”

After Lin Fan said those nonsensical words, he started to shout.

“Rage +30.”

The black shirt man didn’t expect that.

He stepped forwards, his fingers clenched into a fist.

In this small and narrow room, there was nowhere for Lin Fan to run.

“You forced me, take my attacks!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He was anxious and could only try to see if he could defeat him.

His Physique rose to 24 and he shouldn’t be too weak.

He used his hand as a blade and struck at the assassin.

As long as he had a chance, he would step out of the door and flee.

In an instant, they clashed multiple times.

“Yi! ”

He could do it.

At that moment, he cheered himself on. He could beat this man and couldn’t act weak.

“A small assassin, with your skill you dare to find trouble with me. Didn’t your father tell you that without skills, you shouldn’t come over and assassinate others?” Lin Fan used his hand as a blade, once again slashing forwards.

“Rage +50.”

“Keke, you got angry. Come, I am not afraid of you!”

He was panicking like a dog earlier, but now he felt really relaxed.

He would take down this scum later.

Peng peng!

Noise spread in from the outside.

“Cousin, I am here! Hold on!” Zhou Zhongmao shouted and was really anxious.

Lin Fan and the assassin were on the same level, just as he said that.

Pa ta.

The assassin punched Lin Fan’s right eye.

After which, he jumped out of the window. Before he left, a book fell from his arms and then he disappeared into the darkness and was nowhere to be seen.

“My eye!”

“It is so painful!”

Lin Fan knelt down, and held his right eye as tears spurted out.

Wait and see.

One day you will be the one crying!

Kuang dang!

“Cousin, are you okay?” Zhou Zhongmao brought the guard and charged in, asking in panic.

“Something is definitely not okay! My eye has swelled up, how would I be fine?” Lin Fan covered his eye, he really suffered this time.

Zhou Zhongmao pointed at the guard, “Go, find that assassin!”

“Yes.”
