Before the end of Chapter 331 - The Strange Lin Wangshi

Of course, some people who heard Lin Luoxi's words were worried that their fields would be left uncultivated and without income.

For these farmers, the land is their lifeline, and becoming strong is their dream.

But only when you're well-fed can you talk about the extravagant ideals of ordinary people.

Lin Luoxi offered a solution: rent the land to their family, and they would be hired to do all the work, from planting and weeding to tending the fields and harvesting. They would also receive rent at the end of the year.

In this way, while they become stronger, they can also have a stable income and solve their basic needs.

The villagers thought about how much more money they had earned working for Lin Luoxi over the past few years than they had earned from farming. Their families no longer had to worry about food and clothing.

As soon as Lin Luoxi presented the plan, the villagers of Wutong Village immediately agreed, all agreeing to rent their land to Lin Luoxi's family.

Seeing the villagers' enthusiastic response, Lin Luoxi did not disappoint them. She instructed Lin Yangshi to tally up the acreage of all the villagers' fields, and then distribute the money to them collectively.

Following Lin Luoxi's lead, Lin Yangshi's family's circumstances improved significantly. She earned money and not only paid off her debt to Lin Luoxi early on, but also hired maids and servants to serve her.

Now, as long as Lin Luoxi gives the order, Lin Yangshi immediately complies, sending someone back to fetch a book and starting to register each household.

Around noon, Lin Yangshi tallied up the acreage of the villagers' fields, and Lin Luoxi readily gave Lin Yangshi the rent to distribute.

The villagers, holding heavy silver coins in their hands, listened as Lin Luoxi instructed them to gather in the village the next day and wait for Lin Yi and the others to come and guide their training before returning home.

When she saw Lin Wangshi enthusiastically serving food to Li Muqing, she inexplicably felt that Lin Wangshi and Li Muqing looked somewhat alike. She was very puzzled as to how these two strangers could look so similar.

But thinking about how Li Muqing's entire family had been murdered by corrupt officials, she suppressed her doubts.

After finishing the meal and sending away the servants, Lin Luoxi, now surrounded by family members, brought up Li Muqing's matter directly at the table.

"Poor child..." Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Madam Lin felt a pang of sorrow, as if her heart were stuffed with cotton, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

When he saw Li Muqing crying uncontrollably with tears streaming down her face, he hugged her tightly and cried along with her.

“Mother…” Lin Wenqian and the others found Lin Wangshi’s unusual behavior strange, but considering that Lin Wangshi was always kind, they guessed that she was feeling sorry for Li Muqing.

"Smack!"

"The current imperial court is truly ruled by a bunch of parasites..." Lin Lingtian was so angry when he heard Lin Luoxi recount her experiences in the deep mountains and the ordeal of Li Muqing's family that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

They too had once suffered at the hands of those parasites, which caused them to be separated from Lin Dayou for more than thirty years before they could reunite.

Now, the entire family of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has been murdered. Those corrupt officials are becoming increasingly lawless.

"Grandpa, the appearance of those men in black today might also be related to those corrupt officials. Have you ever thought about who is really backing these corrupt officials who are so rampant?"

Lin Luoxi felt that those corrupt officials in the court either had other members of the royal family backing them up, or they were so powerful that they could control everything.

"Hmph, I will definitely investigate today's events thoroughly." He had barely left the capital when assassins were sent to kill him, a situation that infuriated Lin Lingtian.

"Grandpa, if we want to get to the bottom of this, we should set off right now..." In the past, he desperately wanted to avoid dealing with those young masters from prominent families in Kyoto, just to avoid getting involved in their mess.

But now, her grandfather is a king of a different surname, and her husband is a descendant of a loyal minister of the Xie family. She has no choice but to volunteer to get involved in this mess and stir it up as much as possible.

"Back to Beijing today?" Lin Lingtian looked at Lin Luoxi, who was so impulsive, and was a little surprised. He also didn't want to go back so soon.

"Do you want those people to keep sending assassins? Wutong Village hasn't grown up yet, and I don't want anyone to come and destroy this pure land."

Wutong Village is not yet strong enough to withstand so many assassinations.

“Alright, let’s go back now.” Lin Lingtian glanced at Su Xue’er first, and when he saw his princess nod to him, he immediately agreed.

"Grandpa, I want to go too..."

"Grandpa, I want to go too..."

"Grandpa, I want to go too..."

When Lin Luoxi told them she was going to Kyoto, Lin Wenqian, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning were also tempted and insisted on going too.

Lin Lingtian looked at Lin Luoxi with a troubled expression when he saw his grandchildren clamoring to go.

"Eldest brother, third brother, little sister, we have important business to attend to in the capital this time, not for sightseeing, but for investigation..."

"Too many people will attract attention. After we clear away all the obstacles in Kyoto, you can go to Kyoto with your father, mother, and grandmother."

"Of course, you also have a very important task. The safety of the villagers of Wutong Village, as well as your parents and grandmother, is entrusted to you..."

Lin Luoxi received Lin Lingtian's gaze, immediately looked at Lin Wenqian and the others seriously, and spoke righteously.

"Huh? Honey, aren't we going with them?" Lin Dayou looked at Lin Luoxi with a tempting expression when he heard her suggestion.

“Dad, you and Grandpa are just like two peas in a pod. If you go with him, people will immediately know that you are Grandpa’s long-lost son.”

"We'd better spare some attention to protect you, which would affect the progress of our investigation," Lin Luoxi said bluntly.

This is also why she didn't let Lin Wenqian and Lin Wentao go with her; their appearances were a problem.

"Alright!" Not having to rush to the front, Lin Dayou was happy to be free and readily agreed.

"Father, Mother, Grandmother, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Little Sister, I promise you, in one month, I will definitely have resolved things in the capital. Then, we will definitely come back to reunite with you..."

Seeing the disappointment in Lin Wenqian and the others, Lin Luoxi patted her chest and assured them.

Finally, Lin Jize, Doctor Yang, Li Muqing, Xie Hanchuan, Lin Luoxi, Lin Lingtian, and others packed up briefly and set off in the evening.

"Don't be discouraged. Although you can't go to Kyoto with us, it is just as important to guard this place."

"If you hold this place safe, Luo Xi and the others can focus on clearing out obstacles in Kyoto..."

When the old princess Su Xue'er saw that Lin Wenqian and the others became dejected after Lin Luoxi left, she immediately tried to talk some sense into them.
