Chapter 56: Chapter 56- So you are such a person
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Liang Yongqi definitely didn’t expect that Old Master Yuan would appear here.
To not have fun with his maidservants at night and actually stand guard here at the city gates. This really caught him off guard.
What should he do?
What should he do now?
For some reason, he started to regret doing this. He really didn’t expect that Old Master Yuan would be waiting for him here.
Not good.
He thought about one possibility.
That a surnamed Lin person predicted all of this, he dug a hole for him to jump into.
At that moment, Liang Yongqi’s thoughts were a mess.
He was deeply regretting things.
Why did he have to be greedy, to actually take the risk to move the grain away? What was wrong with his brain?
No! This had nothing to do with him; the guards by his side made him do it! He was confused and shouldn’t be blamed.
“Yuan… Old Master Yuan, why are you here?” Liang Yongqi wanted to be calm but couldn’t. His arms and legs were all shivering.
Old Master Yuan squinted and looked at Liang Yongqi, “Our Yuan Family granary was stolen, so is there anything wrong with me checking carriages that pass through here?”
“No problem, that is definitely okay. Old Master Yuan, you can continue investigating, I will take my leave.” Liang Yongqi wanted to flee.
“Why are you in such a rush?” Old Master Yuan blocked him, “It is so late, and you aren’t resting at home. Instead, you are transporting things with your guards. What is in it?”
Liang Yongqi swallowed his saliva and smiled, “Nothing. It’s really nothing. Just some simple things.”
Puchi!
Old Master Yuan stabbed his fingers into the gunny sack, and grain instantly fell out of it.
“It’s over.”
Liang Yongqi’s body trembled like a shocking secret was discovered.
“Hehe.” Old Master Yuan’s face turned dark and sunken, “This is the nothing you were talking about?”
“This…” Liang Yongqi’s face turned white, and he didn’t know what to say.
Old Master Yuan walked up, grabbing a bunch of grain and squeezing them tightly. Grain trickled down his fingers, “This belongs to the Yuan Family, right? You wanted to move them away since you were afraid of being found out, right?”
He really didn’t expect that it was really the Liang Family that stole it.
During the day, he remembered everything that Lin Fan said to him, but he didn’t think too much about it.
If the Lin Family did it to sow discord between the two families and to profit from it, then he shouldn’t do anything.
Once they left, he sent people to monitor both families.
He didn’t expect it to be true.
If it was to frame the Liang Family, then that could obviously be revealed. However, now it was really the Liang Family who stole it; otherwise, why would they transport grain at night?
“Old Master Yuan, someone is framing me.” Liang Yongqi panicked and then shouted, “It is him! It is definitely him! Lin Fan is framing me. He is framing me!”
“Old Master Yuan didn’t say anything, “Go inform Old Master Liang to head to the granary to give the Yuan Family an explanation.”
“Yes, Old Master.” The guard replied.
Liang Yongqi’s throat felt like it was being choked when he heard that. He looked towards the guard and noticed that the intelligent guard was sweating. Like he thought about the terrifying consequence about to occur.
Tonight, You City was definitely not harmonious.
The sky was bright.
Lin Fan yawned and stretched as he got up lazily.
“Gou’zi, where are you?” Lin Fan shouted towards the outside.
Gou’zi carried a basin into the room.
Lin Fan washed up and casually asked, “Did anything happen in You City last night?”
That was proof of whether or not Old Master Yuan had a brain or not.
If he was dumb and didn’t comprehend it, then he deserved to be robbed. He made things so clear. If he didn’t understand, then the grain was probably really gone.
“Young Master, I don’t know.” Gou’zi shook his head. He didn’t exit the Lin Manor, so he didn’t know what happened outside.
Lin Fan shook his head, “Who knows when my cousin will come back.”
He really missed him.
He was already gone for two days.
“Young Master, Teacher headed to Wei River. He should be more or less there. As for him finishing things and returning, that would need 4-5 more days.” Gou’zi said.
If everything went smoothly, 4-5 days was definitely enough.
“Wei River.” Lin Fan thought about it deeply. He knew that You City was a small place and secluded. However, it hid many secrets that people didn’t know about.
Those were things that he guessed.
You City Three Aristocratic Families.
Yuan, Liang, Lin, these three belonged to the strongest in the city, especially the Lin Family. His father was really strong, and the two other families feared him.
There probably weren’t any problems here.
However, to Lin Fan, the problem was huge, and it definitely didn’t look as simple as it did on the surface.
Maybe his head hurt from thinking so much, so he stopped.
“Yi!”
“F***!”
Lin Fan was shocked. He slept for a night, and the rage points in the small support system grew so much.
Rage Points: 4,716
It increased by so much.
What happened last night?
Liang Yongqi, that fellow was noticed and was heavily beaten up, then he continued to send rage points over to him.
He came to the hall.
He didn’t find Lin Wanyi, so he asked the guard, “Where is my father?”
“Young Master, Old Master left in the morning. I heard something happened at the Liang Family, so he went there.” The guard said.
The guard didn’t know what happened.
Lin Fan was delighted. It seemed like the thing really happened. Old Master Yuan was quite smart, and he didn’t waste his saliva yesterday.
“Gou’zi, let’s go to the Liang Family.”
He didn’t even eat breakfast and rushed right over. How could he miss such an interesting thing?
Liang Family Hall.
Liang Yongqi knelt there, and his face was injured. He was beaten up yesterday.
At this moment, Liang Yongqi felt that he was really wronged and was even crying.
“Father, I was really framed! I didn’t steal the Yuan Family grain!” Liang Yongqi cried out, and then looked at the six guards, “Whether or not you believe me, you can ask them! I really didn’t steal the grain!”
He was now like a dog, feeling very uneasy, unable to speak about his hardships.
The guard that Liang Yongqi thought was smart lowered his head and didn’t speak. He shivered.
He couldn’t say that Young Master didn’t steal the grain and couldn’t say that he was the one that told Young Master to ship it out of the city; otherwise, he would become the main culprit. To solve this matter, he would become the scapegoat.
Who didn’t want to live?
He wanted to live.
“Be quiet!” Old Master Liang shouted and then said, “Brother Yuan, I didn’t know anything about this matter. This unfilial kid did it, and I will give you an explanation.”
Old Master Liang was disappointed with his third son.
What had he done?
If he wanted to steal, he had to do a better job and not get caught. Now that he got caught red-handed, what else could he say?
If he was noticed in the granary, then he could say that people were framing them to sow discord.
However, he brought six guards to move the grain away on six carriages. Did he even have a brain?
“Third Young Master, who knew you were such a person?”
At this moment, Lin Fan walked in.
His tone was filled with sourness and pain.
The show was about to begin.
He was going to earn some rage points.
