"Anan, didn't you produce Yang Green and Imperial Green? Let uncle see them."
Lin Nan slapped his forehead and said, "Uncle, this is such a coincidence. I just took these to the auction."
Lin Qingshan thought that Yu Jin was just making excuses, but he didn't expect Lin Nan to actually put the Imperial Green up for auction.
His face darkened instantly, but he still said patiently, "Anan, this Imperial Green can be a family heirloom. Our Lin family's reputation is not as good as it used to be. You should take it back as soon as possible."
Only the person himself can take it back from the auction house, so Lin Qingshan can no longer touch Lin Nan.
However, the bid can be cancelled during the seven-day evaluation period before the auction, so he could only find a way to get Lin Nan to get it back.
Lin Nan looked at Lin Qingshan, a sneer flashing in his eyes. He knew Lin Qingshan's mind very well. His always dignified uncle seemed righteous, but he was actually greedy and ambitious.
But at the moment, Lin Nan is in a relatively advantageous position, so he is not in a hurry to reveal all his cards.
He smiled slightly, looking aggrieved and helpless. "Uncle, how about this? I'll go back and think about it carefully. I'll come back to discuss it with you when I have an idea."
Lin Nan's behavior made Lin Qingshan a little unhappy, but thinking of the imperial green in Lin Nan's hand, he didn't want to offend Lin Nan for the time being, so he had to endure it, "Well, well, you go back first, but this matter can't be delayed for too long."
Lin Nan nodded, looking aggrieved, and then turned and left the Lin family study. As soon as he walked out of the door, a sly smile immediately appeared on his face.
He asked about Yu Li and the others' room, then found them and told them about his conversation with Lin Qingshan.
Yu Li nodded after hearing this. "He probably won't attack us easily now because of the Emperor Green. So we should take this opportunity to find out the details of Ah Fei and Lin Qingshan. Lin Nan, do you know Ah Fei?"
"A Fei is a small local tyrant who has just risen to prominence. He has a bit of influence." Lin Nan paused and continued, "But his backers are quite powerful."
"Oh? Then who is his backer?"
“I heard it was a county leader, but I don’t know who it is at the moment.”
"So that's how it is. That's a bit troublesome." Yu Jin nodded thoughtfully, then fell into deep thought.
Su Susu frowned, "Then, where should we start?"
After hearing this, Lin Nan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I'll go find out first. I know some well-informed people."
Yu Li nodded, "Then go ahead. If we're here, your uncle won't let you stay at home."
"I have no choice but to inconvenience you, my benefactor." Lin Nan felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was because of him that Yu Li and the others were dragged into this mess of the Lin family.
Yu Li smiled and said, "What's the big deal? We've been tired from playing these past few days, so we can take a break."
Su Susu and Wang Sihan also nodded, "Yes, and it also includes food and accommodation."
"Looking at it this way, we're actually making quite a profit." Jian Yi put his arm around Zhao Mingyu's shoulder and laughed.
Sheng Shanyu and Yu Li looked at each other and smiled, as if there was some truth to it.
Seeing how nice they were, Lin Nan felt a little better. "Don't worry, I'll definitely find out the news soon."
After lunch, Yu Li and the others returned to their room, while Lin Nan left the house.
He came to the teahouse he used to frequent, ordered a pot of tea, greeted a familiar waiter, and began to wait quietly.
About half an hour later, a fat man hurried in. When Lin Nan saw him, he greeted him warmly, "Fat brother, long time no see, come and sit down."
The fat man sat next to Lin Nan, took two big gulps of tea, and then said, "Lin Nan, if you don't show up, I will think something happened to you."
Lin Nan said sadly, "After my parents died, my uncle took over the Lin family's property and kicked me out."
The fat man waved his hand and looked at me with concern. "Lin Nan, I heard about your situation. It's really unlucky. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Nan took a deep breath and smiled as if nothing had happened. Then he approached him mysteriously, "Come to think of it, I was wondering how Ah Fei suddenly became so successful? I heard that he has a big backer. Fatty, you're so well-informed, didn't you hear anything?"
The fat man touched his chin, a gleam in his eyes, "Hey, what? Are you interested in Ah Fei?"
I nodded, "Just curious."
"Hehe, curiosity kills the cat, Lin Nan." The fat man poked Lin Nan, a smug look on his face. "But you're lucky today. I have some information, but I won't publicize it. Do you understand?"
Lin Nan nodded quickly, looking serious, "Of course, I'm the best at keeping secrets."
He leaned over and whispered, "That backer is said to be a woman, a deputy director in the county, with a good background."
Hearing this, Lin Nan's heart moved, "Deputy Director, is it a woman?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but ask, "Does that female deputy director have a name?"
"Shh, that name is too hot to say." The fat man looked around, making sure no one was paying attention, and then continued, "Her name is Gu Qing, that is..."
"She is the county magistrate's niece, and is famous for her cruelty. Although she looks weak, she is very scheming, and it is said that she has the power over many people. Ah Fei was able to rise to power quickly, most likely because he got something on Gu Qing, and now the two of them are in collusion and want to dominate the world." The fat man lowered his voice, as if he was worried about being heard by others.
Lin Nan frowned, already realizing this wasn't a simple matter. "Hey, Fatty, it looks like I've really hit a wall this time."
Lin Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't give up so quickly, Lin Nan." The fat man smiled mysteriously, as if he had a trick up his sleeve. "I do know that Gu Qing has had a big event recently. Maybe you can get close to Gu Qing too."
The fat man's words made Lin Nan's heart move. Gu Qing was the county magistrate's niece, so it would be great if they could be friends. "Fat brother, tell me quickly, what's the big deal?"
"Gu Qing is in her forties and has an only son, who is frail." Fat Brother pretended to be mysterious and whispered in my ear, "Her only son is young and recently fell ill. Gu Qing has been seeking medical treatment and offering a large reward for a cure. If you can help, perhaps you can use this opportunity to get close to her."
Lin Nan's heart trembled. He vaguely felt that this was an opportunity, but also a risky move. "This... where can I find the secret recipe for curing the disease?"
Fatty laughed, "That's why this opportunity is so rare. Maybe you know some miracle doctor."
