After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

A land deed, eight thousand taels of silver.

Lin Siheng gave away all the New Year's money he had saved since he was a child without even blinking.

Upon seeing this, the manager's face immediately broke into a smile of good fortune, and he said a lot of nice things.

After several reforms, the government offices are now much more convenient for people to handle affairs; all the paperwork can be completed in just one afternoon.

The previous owner of this shop took almost all the furniture and decorations with him, and bought an empty shell for eight thousand taels of silver.

The shop has been purchased, but now we're struggling to decide what business to start.

Originally, Yuan Yuan and the others only planned to rent a small shop to sell some food, but now the shop has three floors and is about eight or nine zhang long from south to north, which is very spacious.

This must be the size of a restaurant.

The four people sat in a circle, heads together, and began to discuss.

Jiang laughed and said, "This place is so big, the four of us definitely can't take care of it. Why don't we just sublet it?"

Wang Yi said, "What the boss said is true. In such a big place, we need to hire someone to look after everything we do, and we don't have any money."

Wu Xiaogou said, "We can seal up the back door first, then we'll have a place to live again, and we can still get rent every month."

Yuan Yuan tapped Wu Xiaogou on the head, "This house costs eight thousand taels. I don't know when we'll be able to pay them back that much money just from the rent."

As he spoke, the group silently watched the two people standing and sitting by the window.

Lin Siheng asked, "Young Master, what kind of business do you think can be done here?"

"Although this place is in a bustling area, it is relatively quiet in front of the door, so you can do whatever you want."

Lin Siheng was speechless. "Isn't that obvious?"

Gongyang Xun said, "My opinion doesn't count; it depends on what Yuan Yuan and the others want to do."

Lin Siheng looked up and saw the four people whispering to each other for a long time, but they couldn't come up with any useful plan.

This can't be rushed. It will need to be renovated later. In addition, the houses behind the shop are empty and there are many places that need to be repaired. We can't move in for a while.

After having someone change the locks on both the front and back doors, Lin Siheng gave the keys and the land deed to Yuanyuan.

The main reason is that among these four people, only Yuan Yuan is the most reliable.

On the way back to the Lin family's villa, Lin Siheng was thinking, why not let them learn to read from Xinyu for a few days?

Before going to bed that night, he shared this idea with Gongyang Xun.

Gongyang Xun said, "That's wonderful. I heard from your servant that the teacher who teaches your younger brother is a great Confucian scholar, someone that is difficult for ordinary people to even meet."

If these kids study with such a great teacher for a while, even if they don't pass the imperial examinations, at least they won't be completely ignorant.

Lin Siheng said, "Then go tell Yuanyuan and the others tomorrow that I'm going to find Xinyu."

"it is good."

After a while, Gongyang Xun suddenly asked, "What do you think of Yuanyuan?"

Lin Siheng, who was about to fall asleep, yawned and asked, "What did you want to say?"

"I..." Gongyang Xundao said, "It's nothing, you go to sleep."

Lin Siheng: "What's wrong with you so late at night?"

Suddenly, a very light gust of wind swept across the roof.

Lin Siheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the window, it was pitch black, with a crescent moon casting a soft, bright light.

Gongyang Xun was secretly agonizing over his own thoughts when he was suddenly lifted up.

The next moment, he was thrown onto the bed, so hard that he saw stars.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the crisp, low sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath.

The Yellow Springs Sword has been drawn.

Gongyang Xun struggled to turn over and, by the moonlight, saw clearly that several sharp, thick steel needles were stuck upside down on the soft couch where he had been sleeping.

There were signs of corrosion around the steel needle; it was poisonous!

Lin Siheng's figure flashed by, chasing after the dark shadow outside the window.

Gongyang climbed to the side of the table, grabbed the wooden whistle, and blew it.

Upon hearing the urgent whistle, the guards grabbed their weapons and rushed into the courtyard.

Hearing the commotion, the four people living next door were the first to react, with Yuan Yuan being the first to react.

He had found this wooden whistle for the ram a long time ago, originally to help the ram find him, but now it had become a tool for sending messages.

Meanwhile, Lin Siheng chased the masked man across two courtyards before finally catching up with him.

"Who are you?" Lin Siheng asked.

The masked man did not answer, but instead drew his soft sword and attacked.

This masked man is very skilled; Lin Siheng really can't capture him in a short time.

Just then, the guards arrived. "Young master, we've come to help you!"

With the guards chasing him, the masked man turned and leaped from the rooftop onto the beam.

When Lin Siheng saw the window still lit by candlelight, he knew something was wrong!

Xin Yu was reading a book and preparing to go to sleep when she was suddenly kidnapped by a masked man who broke down the door.

When Lin Siheng caught up, he only saw his younger brother barefoot, dangling pitifully in mid-air.

He was short, and when he was being held hostage by the masked men, he couldn't even touch the ground.

Although it was very inappropriate, Lin Siheng still couldn't help but chuckle.

His younger brother is like a little doll.

"Get out of my way, or I'll kill him," the masked man said in a hoarse voice, his dagger already pressed against Xinyu's throat.

The sounds of a fierce fight had already woken everyone in the courtyard, and now Shen Qingheng had also arrived under the protection of the guards.

He saw Xinyu being held hostage at a glance and was so frightened he almost fainted.

The guards, fearing that this man might harm Xinyu, dared not approach to surround and attack him, holding their knives and at a loss.

Lin Siheng scoffed lightly, "So, your Thousand Crane Manor is planning to wipe us out completely?"

"Heh." The masked man didn't answer, but said, "Go and kill Gongyang Xun, or I'll kill your brother."

Lin Siheng said firmly, "I'm not going."

"Looks like you're planning to trade your own brother's life for that cripple's. Guishan Huangquan, you really do uphold the code of honor among the underworld." The masked man laughed heartily.

After he finished laughing, he brought the dagger close to Xinyu's neck and said viciously, "Are you really not afraid I'll kill him!"

Lin Siheng subtly signaled to the guards behind the masked man to launch a sneak attack.

He appeared relaxed, though. "Go ahead and kill him."

When Xinyu saw her brother, she thought he was her savior, but she didn't expect him to be the King of Hell!

What kind of brother is this?!

Xin Yu was furious, but the dagger was right next to his neck, and if he missed by even an inch, he would be decapitated.

He was terrified, but his jerk brother was still in the mood to joke around!

This is infuriating!

Seeing that the masked man hadn't made a move, Lin Siheng grew impatient. "Are you going to kill him or not?"

"I never imagined that a cripple could make you abandon your own brother." The masked man raised his dagger. "Then say goodbye to your brother."

Xin Yu was blinded by the cold glint of the dagger. He closed his eyes and prayed in his heart that he would never encounter such an unreliable brother in his next life.

"clang--"

Lin Siheng, however, swiftly moved in front of the masked man and blocked the dagger.

Xin Yu was still in shock when her brother rescued her from the masked man.
