The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 243

[Chapter 243: Another Mysterious Person]

Lin Tian frowned. This is the largest store in Ningjiang City. All the funds added up can only buy two or three items.

This is too incredible.

“Boss, although these treasures of mine are relatively expensive, they are not to an exaggerated extent! Don’t you want to buy them, so you say that?”

Lin Tian looked at the boss with some suspicion.

The boss felt a little wronged and explained with a bitter face.

“Sir, I have been doing business in Ningjiang City for more than ten years. Why should I deceive you? If I had all the funds, I would definitely buy them all. Moreover, the white jade and jadeite among these treasures are the most expensive. The store really can’t afford them.” Not

only that, even if the boss bought the white jade and jadeite, he might not be able to sell them in this huge Ningjiang City.

Although there are many rich people in Ningjiang City, the white jade and jadeite are priceless treasures, and ordinary rich people may not be able to afford them.

And the white jade and jadeite are a symbol of noble status, and are generally more often given as gifts between bureaucrats.

Lin Tian saw that the boss was telling the truth and there was no sign of lying. There was no need to embarrass a small boss.

He took out one of the treasures, a lamp, and sold it to the pawnshop owner.

After the transaction, Lin Tian left the shop.

Although the pawned lamp was not as valuable as white jade, it was equivalent to a good price.

He planned to give the money to the victims to rebuild their homes for free.

So he asked Lei Dian and his subordinates to convey his ideas to several surrounding villages and asked them to gather at the designated place in the afternoon.

The village heads represented by the village came, and when they saw Lin Tian, they greeted him warmly.

Lin Tian not only helped them cure the plague, but also found that there was a problem with the embankment, so that they quickly evacuated the dangerous area.

So the people in these villages had a good impression of Lin Tian.

Lin Tian responded one by one, and when he saw that almost everyone was there, he told them his plan, and the money in his hand was the start-up capital for their reconstruction.

After hearing this, several village heads almost cried with joy, and knelt down to kowtow to Lin Tian.

“Mr. Lin, you are really the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves the suffering! Not only did you help us drive away the plague, but you also personally paid for us to rebuild our homes. How can we be so worthy of your kindness!” “

Yes! Mr. Lin, you must be sent by the gods in heaven to save us from the sea of suffering! Since your appearance, we, the suffering people, have seen hope!”

“Mr. Lin, we can’t repay your kindness in this life. We can only repay you by working like cows and horses in the next life!”

The village heads of these villages are all old people. After experiencing so many difficulties, there are still people willing to help them rebuild their homes.

Only their descendants can repay this kindness.

Lin Tian looked at the old people kneeling on the ground and helped them all up.

After experiencing the plague and the disaster of floods, these people

are really pitiful. Lin Tian looked at their situation and really couldn’t bear it.

So he tried his best to help them.

“My fellow villagers, what you said really embarrasses me, Lin Tian. As the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid! We all live under the same sky, so I want to do my best to help you.”

Lin Tian’s words were all from the bottom of his heart, which moved several village heads even more.

Lin Tian not only helped them rebuild their homes, but also did not ask for anything in return.

This is much better than those local governors who deliberately put up the sign of charity but desperately forced them to work.

“Mr. Lin, you are really good to us. But if you help us without asking for anything in return, what if your life becomes difficult?”

A village head asked Lin Tian.

Lei Dian, who was standing next to him, heard this and said with a smile: “Village chief, our master has taken out money to help you, which proves that he is not short of money! So, you don’t need to worry too much, just rebuild your home well.”

“That’s right! So you don’t need to have any psychological burden, take the money, rebuild your home well, and all the haze will pass.”

Lin Tian comforted everyone, distributed the silver in the purse to these village chiefs, and gave them a few more instructions before going back. In

a small courtyard in the forest, a man in plain clothes looked around, holding his bag tightly with his hands.

After making sure that there were no suspicious people around, he entered the room in the courtyard.

In the room, a middle-aged man in white gorgeous clothes was leisurely brewing tea.

When he saw the person coming, he stopped his movements and looked at him with a smile, “I didn’t expect the governor of Ningjiang City to come so soon, what a rare guest.”

That’s right, the man in plain clothes was the governor.

And the person the governor came to see was the same person as Zhu Jinquan!

The governor smiled shyly and sat in front of the middle-aged man, his tone flattering.

“I have to come early to see you. If I am late, it will be disrespectful to you, right?”

I have heard of this man’s reputation.

He is vicious and is commonly known as a smiling tiger.

Moreover, many people in the circle have dealt with him

before, and the power in his hands is extraordinary. So this time he came all the way to pay a visit, it is impossible for him to be late in front of him.

Otherwise, if the first impression is not good, then all the efforts will be in vain.

“Oh, you are quite good at talking! Tell me, what do you want to see me this time? You should also know my rules, right?”

The middle-aged man showed an unfathomable smile.

The governor quickly understood, nodded and smiled, carefully untied the bag he brought, and handed the silver to the middle-aged man like a treasure.

“Don’t worry, sir. Of course I know the rules! This is what I brought. Please take a good look at it.”

The middle-aged man glanced at it and chuckled, “You want to bribe me with just this little bit of silver?”

“Sir, you know that I am just a small local official, and I can only take out this much money at once.”

“I can only wait for you to say a few good words for me in the court. When I get promoted and given more titles, won’t I be able to give you more treasures and silver?”

The governor said flatteringly. This time, he sold several valuable treasures to give this sir silver.

Unexpectedly, this sir still thought it was too little and actually looked down on his silver.

I think he is a high-ranking official in Beijing, so he doesn’t care about these silver treasures.
