Chapter 299 Winning over the Lin family

"Yu'er, don't be rude!"

Lin Xiao shouted angrily, making Lin Yu shrink back in fear.

Seeing this, he looked at Lin Xiaofan with an apologetic smile and said:

"The dog doesn't understand the rules. I hope County Magistrate Lin has a lot of them, so don't mind."

As he spoke, he observed the changes in Lin Xiaofan's expression, hoping not to offend Lin Xiaofan. Otherwise, the position of county magistrate would be completely irrelevant to his family. If things go wrong, he may even develop hatred with Lin Xiaofan.

I usually neglected to discipline my son, but I actually let him speak so freely.

Lin Xiaofan looked at Lin Yu who was looking unconvinced. Not only was he not angry in his heart, but he suddenly had an idea.

This Lin Yu, at first glance, looks like he is more than capable of succeeding but more than capable of revealing. If he is used well, he might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the Lin family.

Thinking about it, he smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. Brother Lin Yu is well-read and it's normal to be a little arrogant."

The matter was settled and the banquet was officially concluded.

"Magistrate Lin, be careful on the road."

Lin Xiao greeted him with a smile on his face. After turning his head, his expression instantly became deserted.

At today's banquet, it was a sure thing to win the position of county magistrate, but in the end, Yan Wu showed up halfway.

"This Yan Wu has ruined my good deeds. It seems I can't keep him!"

This Yan Wu was obviously going against him. If Yan Jun really becomes the county magistrate, and Yan Xing is the chief secretary, the Yan family may be able to overtake the Lin family in one fell swoop if they gain power in Degao Town.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"The same goes for this county magistrate, who doesn't know what's good or bad. If he was really honest and willing to help us, the position of county magistrate would have been ours long ago. Dad, you have to find a way to force him to step down!"

Lin Yu spoke angrily.

This county magistrate actually thought that Yan Jun, a reckless man, could be compared with him, and even said that he would have to think about it for two days. This meant that he did not take him seriously.

If dad hadn't stopped him, he would have scolded the county magistrate to death.

"And you! For such a big man, can you have some brains!"

Lin Xiao got angry when he mentioned this, and pointed a big nose at his son's head.

"Dad, why are you beating me! Am I wrong? Besides, we have the support of the Cheng family behind us, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Lin Yu spoke unconvinced.

"Don't just think about women on weekdays, learn more about your real skills. Although Lin Xiaofan's foundation is still shallow, he has Zhao Shan's support behind him. Before you find out his true identity, you must give him the respect he deserves. At least you can’t antagonize him!”

Lin Xiao glared at Lin Yu again and educated Lin Yu earnestly. Then he sighed again.

This Lin Xiaofan seemed to appear out of nowhere, and he had no idea about his details.

"Clan Chief Lin, stay!"

A rough voice came from behind, and Lin Xiao turned around and saw that it was Bao Tianqing who was tall and thick.

Bao Tianqing trotted to catch up, showed a smile, and said:

"Clan Chief Lin, the county magistrate has asked you to go to Qianling Tower in three days to discuss the selection of the county magistrate."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he quickly responded:

"Okay, I understand. Please tell Magistrate Lin, Mr. Bao, that I will definitely go to the appointment in three days."

Looking at Bao Tianqing's leaving figure, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It seems that Lin Xiaofan still intends to win over the Lin family, but he just doesn't want to deny the Yan family face in front of everyone.

Or maybe Lin Xiaofan was afraid that he didn't give enough and wanted to discuss it. But these are not problems. As long as he can win the position of county magistrate, he will definitely earn much more money in the future than he does now.

Behind this Lin Xiaofan should be only Zhao Shan, not the Zhao family in the capital. Otherwise, there is no need to win over yourself like this.

During the day, Lin Xiaofan was just doing it for show. After all, Magistrate Cheng was going to lose his head due to corruption, so Lin Xiaofan couldn't be too showy at this time.

……

On the other side, Lin Xiaofan had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

At tonight's banquet, he at least understood the current situation. The Lin family, the Xiang family, and the Wang family are all working together, while the Yan family can't stand the three families, and the Gou family acts like it has nothing to do with them.

He had a plan in mind. He could first get Lin Yu into the yamen, give him a position, and then slowly grab his handle and take him down in one fell swoop.

It would be great if we could take this opportunity to bring down the Lin family.

However, he still has to give the position of county magistrate to Yan Xing. When the time comes, he will give Lin Yu the position of chief clerk. He will not be given much real power, but he will be given the opportunity to commit corruption.

With the current strength of the three families, it is not difficult to deal with them. What is difficult is how to get rid of them in one fell swoop. The first thing he has to do is to sow discord, make friends with one or two of the families, and sow discord between them.

The three tribes originally gathered together for their own benefit, and it was not difficult to achieve this.

There is also the matter of the City Guards. Since Degao Town is not a border area, there are currently only a few hundred City Guards. He was looking for an opportunity to replace all the city guards with his own people.

The commander of the city guards in ancient times was Cheng Zheng, and he had seen him today, and he was a member of the Wang family. The Wang family is also related to the Xiang family and the Lin family. If you want to put your hand in, you will offend the Xiang family.

There is also the matter of collecting criminal evidence, and try not to do it yourself, otherwise if it is exposed, it will alert the three families and make the three families cautious, and it will be difficult to find evidence.

Therefore, he needs someone to help in the dark.

Who to call?

Although there are many people under his command, none of them are suitable. Either their identities are too obvious or they don't have the strategy.

After thinking for a long time, there was only one name left in his mind - Duanmu Liangchuan.

According to Yan Xing, this man has great wisdom, but he cannot stand the darkness of officialdom and is unwilling to come out. Putting it this way, this person's strategy should be enough to complete this task.

Also, he and Duanmu Liangchuan had never had any contact. Even if his identity was revealed, no one would be able to suspect Lin Xiaofan.

To be on the safe side, I will send him a letter tomorrow to see if I can get him to do it. If you can, everything is fine. If not, think of another way yourself.

Thinking, he has returned home.

There was still a candle burning in the hall, and through the faint light, Li Xiaoran's pretty face could be vaguely seen.

At this time, she sat on the chair and fell asleep. She didn't wake up until Lin Xiaofan and others came closer.

Seeing that her husband was back, Li Xiaoran rubbed his eyes, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Husband, I bought the earthen kiln. When will the first batch of quicklime be made?"

She was afraid of delaying the process, so she kept waiting for Lin Xiaofan here.

Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoran. Just start work tomorrow. At that time, you can get some guards from Li Hu. Make sure there are people guarding you day and night."

The benefits of refined salt are so great that nothing can go wrong.

"Husband, you drank too much. Let me make you a bowl of hangover soup."

Li Xiaoran saw Lin Xiaofan's blushing face through the weak light, and was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but Lin Xiaofan held her back.

"what!"

Unprepared, she was suddenly pulled into his arms. Looking at Lin Xiaofan's slightly shining eyes, her face showed a bit of shyness that only a girl can have.

Lin Xiaofan looked at the beauty in his arms and kissed her without hesitation.

"Husband, your legs..."

"It's okay, it's almost done."
