Chapter 476: The Sheng family who regrets

Quzhou Prefecture Government Office.

Quzhou Martial Administration Office.

The two main officials, with many subordinates, hurried towards a certain street.

Finally, at the intersection of the street where the Li family is located, the two sides met.

"Lord Zhao."

"Lord Fang."

The Quzhou Prefect and the Martial Administration Office Chief looked at each other, nodded to each other, and didn't say much, walking towards the Li family together.

Both of them saw regret in each other's eyes. If they had known that the Li family had a relationship with Lin Chen, they would have come to mourn old Master Li's funeral no matter what.

As Prefect and Martial Administration Office Chief, they did not commit a crime by not coming to mourn old Master Li. The court did not stipulate that they must come to mourn when a martial artist who once served as the Martial Administration Office Chief passed away.

Being willing to come to mourn personally is giving the Li family face; not coming to mourn is just doing official business.

But the problem is…… the one they encountered is Lin Chen.

This is a person who can change the rules with one sentence. If Lin Chen is dissatisfied with them, he doesn't even need to express it. As long as there is a slight look, the news will reach the Dao Chief and the Hall Chief, and what awaits them will inevitably be promotion in name but demotion in reality, or being transferred to some empty positions.

A quarter of an hour later.

By the time the two arrived at the Li residence, they also found that the front hall of the entire Li residence was already full of people, and many families in the entire Quzhou Prefecture, whether they were ranked or not, had sent people to mourn.

The eyes of the two fell on an old man in the most upper seat, and they stepped forward quickly.

"Greetings, Hall Chief Qiu."

Qiu Rufeng, Deputy Hall Chief of the Martial Administration Hall of the Jiannan Dao, they had met a few times.

Qiu Rufeng looked at the two and said lightly: "The two of you are here to worship old Master Li, so wait here for a while. At this moment, Lin Chen is worshiping old Master Li in the mourning hall."

The two nodded and dared not have any opinions. Qiu Rufeng looked at the expressions of these two who were a bit absent-minded standing on the side, and also sighed in his heart. These two were transferred to the Jiangnan Dao from other lines.

The Jiangnan Dao is a line that Daliang focuses on now. Those who can serve in the Jiangnan Dao, and are still such main officials, not only need to have hard strength, but also strong family connections behind them.

Old Master Li was only at the Sixth Rank during his lifetime, and his descendants are not promising. If most people were in the positions of these two, they would make the same decision.

But there are some things in the world that are unreasonable, and it can only be said that these two are a bit unlucky.

"Back then…… when the Jiangnan Dao evaluated martial arts student models, this official recommended Lin Chen. And besides this official, the Quzhou Prefecture Martial Administration Office also recommended Lin Chen. The Quzhou Prefecture Martial Administration Office recommended Lin Chen because of old Master Li. Later, when I learned that Lin Chen was competing with another recommended student, old Master Li felt that this was unfair to Lin Chen, so he went to the Martial Administration Hall in person and slapped the table in front of Hall Chief Shao."

Qiu Rufeng decided to give these two some pointers, and also said it to everyone on the scene.

Lin Chen did not come to mourn old Master Li privately this time, but with such great fanfare, it was to announce to everyone that although old Master Li has passed away, with him here, no one can have ideas about the Li family. Lin Chen is here to support the Li family.

Hearing Qiu Rufeng's words, many people on the scene suddenly realized, so that's how it is……

"A few years ago, I heard that there was such a rumor, but the Li family never said it to the outside world, so this rumor was not spread anymore."

"Yes, I also heard this rumor, and there was another rumor at the time, saying that Lin Chen went to the Li family to ask for martial arts back then, but was looked down upon by the Li family and left in anger. These two rumors were completely opposite, so I didn't take it seriously."

Many martial artists in Quzhou also reacted. It turns out the rumors were true. Just because old Master Li slapped the table at the Martial Administration Hall for Lin Chen back then, no one could move the Li family.

Several men who had ideas about seizing the Li family's business were now full of lingering fear. Fortunately…… fortunately they hadn't started acting yet. If they really started acting, I'm afraid the family would be gone.

Qiu Rufeng took everyone's expressions into his eyes. Regarding the matter between old Master Li and Lin Chen, he had more important things to say.

Besides recommending Lin Chen as a martial arts student model, old Master Li also had the favor of passing on martial arts.

If Li An was promising, old Master Li would definitely not hide the relationship with Lin Chen, and the court would also take care of the Li family. But old Master Li refused, just because the descendants were not good.

Even with Lin Chen protecting them, Li An is not promising. The more resources the family has, the easier it is to be envied by others and designed by various people. Lin Chen is far away in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao and cannot pay attention to the situation of the Li family all the time.

Old Master Li understood this point, so he chose to hide the relationship with the Li family from the outside world, and did not accept the court's care. The Li family's current business will not cause major families to fight for it, and these small families in Quzhou Prefecture do not have the courage.

With Lin Chen as a backer, the Li family has a transcendent status and will not be envied and secretly calculated by those major families, and small families dare not target the Li family, so Li An can also keep the Li family.

"You said that when the eldest lady of the Li family proposed to cancel the marriage contract at this time, what was the reaction of the Sheng family?"

Someone suddenly spoke. This made many guests have strange expressions. This Sheng family…… this time is afraid of missing a great wealth.

Li Qi, old Master Li's only granddaughter.

If she becomes the Li family's son-in-law, relying on the relationship between Lin Chen and the Li family, flying to the top is just around the corner.

Since Canglan Island came into contact with the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, many martial artists in Daliang knew that the martial arts realm below Innate is actually not difficult. From the Ninth Rank to the First Rank, the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao has pills to improve the realm. As long as there are enough pills and the talent is not completely unbearable, relying on taking pills can also reach the First Rank.

The martial arts resources required for a martial artist from the Ninth Rank to the Upper Rank are a terrifying number for them, but for Innate experts, for Lin Chen, it should be nothing.

Unfortunately, the Sheng family failed to grasp this opportunity to fly to the top.

……

……

In front of the mourning hall.

Lin Chen stood quietly in front of old Master Li's coffin, with Li An and Li Qi, father and daughter, behind him.

Compared to Li Qi's excitement, Li An, as a father, had a more complex expression. The look at Lin Chen was excitement mixed with embarrassment, and embarrassment mixed with awe.

Looking at the old man with a peaceful face lying in the coffin, scenes from back then also appeared in Lin Chen's mind. ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
