Lin Feng knew that Shopkeeper Huang was the owner of those goods, and it seemed that he was here to claim compensation. Lin Feng naturally became nervous and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.
Shopkeeper Huang responded politely, interrupted Lin Feng's words, and said: "The deceased is the most important, and we will discuss the cargo later after I discuss it with the chief escort. You are being bullied by the bank, and I have heard that I said it before. I am not here to collect debts, but to mourn your deceased elders." Someone next to him handed over incense. Shopkeeper Huang took it and offered it as a gift.
Shopkeeper Huang looked at Lin Feng and Lan'er, his eyes paused on Lan'er's face for a while, and said: "You two, the deceased is gone, you still have to express your condolences!" Lin Feng and Lan'er returned the gift and thanked them. Shopkeeper Huang didn't say anything more and immediately went out with Deng Wei. Lin Feng looked at their leaving figures, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
After the two sat down, Lin Feng recalled the look and expression in Shopkeeper Huang's eyes when he looked at Lan'er just now, and felt that something had happened. Seeing that Lin Feng was silent, Lan'er asked softly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I was thinking that shopkeeper Huang's expression seemed a little strange just now. We'd better be more careful."
Lan'er nodded slightly and said, "Brother is right. I also think his eyes are weird and make people uncomfortable."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Lan'er, don't leave me too far from now on. You must let me see you or hear your voice."
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Lan'er felt warm in her heart and shyly responded in a low voice: "Yes, brother." While the two were talking, Luffy came in and said to Lin Feng: "Brother Lin, the chief escort invites you Go to the lobby and talk.”
Lin Feng agreed, stood up, and said to Lan'er: "Lan'er, let's go together." Lan'er nodded slightly and stood up.
Luffy only said that the chief escort only invited Lin Feng, and did not mention Lan'er. Lin Feng said that he was really worried about leaving Lan'er alone in a strange place. Luffy frowned slightly, and then he understood that Lin Feng was worried about the escort agency. He couldn't tell the truth or object anymore, so he turned around and led the way.
The three of them walked through the corridor and courtyard and arrived at the escort agency hall. Deng Wei and a woman were sitting in the hall, with Deng Dan and Deng Song accompanying them on both sides. The woman was very beautiful and very similar to Deng Dan. She was her mother Peng Yu. Lin Feng saw that she had an extraordinary bearing and a heroic spirit, and knew that she was also a martial arts practitioner.
Luffy took a step forward, saluted Deng Wei and his wife, and said, "Master and Master, Shaoxia Lin and Miss Zhang are here."
Lin Feng and Lan'er greeted the Deng Wei couple together and said, "Juniors Lin Feng and Zhang Lan have met the chief escort and his wife! I wonder what the chief escort's orders are when he calls us here?"
Deng Wei motioned for the two of them to sit down, and after they were seated, he said, "It's nothing important. I just want to know what your plans are in the future."
Lin Feng said: "We plan to find a piece of land tomorrow so that my uncle can be laid to rest. Chief escort, I wonder what the shopkeeper of the Salt Bank has to say about the goods?"
Deng Wei said: "We will discuss the matter of the goods later. I don't think you need to find a land. If you agree, the escort agency has an open space outside the city for you to use. In any case, Mr. Zhang encountered something unexpected, Quan Zi It’s hard to escape the blame. This is my personal intention, and I hope you two won’t reject it.”
Lin Feng glanced at Lan'er and saw that she was silent and had no intention of objecting, so he said: "Senior is so kind to me, I am very grateful to you. We are only borrowing it temporarily. When we have the opportunity in the future, we will move my uncle back." Ancestral graves by the river.”
Deng Wei said: "You're welcome. When are you going? I'll let Luffy bring someone to accompany you."
Lin Feng immediately replied: "Without further delay, I want to go tomorrow morning."
Deng Dan suddenly interrupted: "Brother Lin, why don't you let Miss Zhang stay with her father for a few more days?"
Lin Feng said quickly: "Miss Deng, we are already very presumptuous when we come to your escort agency. I don't want to disturb you any more."
Mrs. Peng glanced at Deng Dan and said, "Dan'er, Shaoxia Lin has his own opinions. Don't talk nonsense."
Then Mrs. Peng said to Lin Feng: "Young Master Lin, my daughter has always been willful, so don't pay attention to her."
Lin Feng said: "Madam, you are too modest. The eldest lady is enthusiastic and generous, heroic and courageous, and the younger generation admires her very much. She is also thinking about my sister-in-law, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the current situation is special, so I have to act in a hurry."
Deng Wei said: "Since you have decided, then do what you want." He said to the three of Luffy: "Fei'er, Dan'er, Song'er, you will bring more people tomorrow to help Shaoxia Lin and the others."
Lin Feng said hurriedly: "Chief escort, how can this be done? It will be too troublesome for you!"
Luffy explained: "Brother Lin doesn't know something. There are many people from money banks outside the escort agency. If you go alone, the master is worried that they will do harm to you. It is estimated that someone will come to the door tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Lin Feng had already expected that someone would be watching the bank nearby, so he said to Zheng Wei, "Thank you, Chief Bodyguard!" and then said to Luffy, "In that case, I'll help you."
Lin Feng no longer refused. He did not want to get entangled with the banker before burying Zhang An. With Luffy and others around, Qianzhuang didn't dare to act rashly.
Deng Wei said: "Young Master Lin, this is our responsibility. Once you enter the escort agency, you are our distinguished guests. Naturally, we cannot let you have any surprises."
Deng Wei paused for a moment, then turned to Luffy and said, "Fei'er, go get ready now! If people from the bank dare to cause trouble tomorrow, don't be polite." Luffy responded and left the hall with Lin Feng. Back to the backyard.
Lin Feng thanked Luffy and the other three, but Lan'er still hated Deng Song and just thanked Luffy and Deng Dan. Deng Song was angry and was about to speak, but Deng Dan stopped him. Several people discussed the funeral the next day, and then Luffy and the other two left.
At dawn the next day, Lin Feng and Lan'er walked with the coffin under the protection of everyone in the escort agency. The people from the bank were following him, but seeing that there were many people in the escort agency and Luffy and the other three were present, they didn't dare to act rashly. When Luffy saw this, he led people over and stopped them to prevent them from following. When they arrived at the ground, everyone quickly buried the coffin.
Lan'er watched her father being buried in the grave. She was so distraught that she fainted from crying several times. Lin Feng hurriedly rescued Lan'er. Deng Dan saw that Lan'er was weak and took the initiative to take care of her. Lin Feng tried his best to comfort her, and Lan'er slowly calmed down. Everyone stayed with Lan'er until the sun went down. Lan'er wanted to stay a little longer, but Lin Feng finally persuaded her, and everyone returned to the escort agency.
As soon as everyone entered the gate, a bodyguard came up to them and said to Luffy and the other two: "Headguard, the chief security officer told me that as soon as you come back, go see him and discuss important matters."
Luffy apologized to Lin Feng and hurried away with Deng Dan and Deng Song. Lin Feng supported Lan'er and returned to the backyard. Lin Feng helped Lan'er go to bed to rest while he guarded her by the bedside. Lan'er was overly sad and her body was already exhausted, so she quickly fell asleep.
More than an hour later, Lan'er woke up and saw Lin Feng guarding the bed. She quickly got up and said sheepishly: "Brother, thank you. I'm fine. You can go and take a rest!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I am a martial arts practitioner, you don't have to worry about me. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
While the two were talking, Luffy came in and said, "Brother Lin, my master invites you two to come over to discuss matters."
Lin Feng asked: "Lan'er, can you do it?"
Lan'er said: "Xiu had rested for a while just now. He's fine now. That's okay!"
Lin Feng said: "Then let's go over there." Lin Feng and Lan'er followed Luffy towards the hall. After a while, they entered the hall, and Deng Wei and Deng Song were sitting inside waiting.
Lin Feng and Lan'er came up to greet us and sat down, saying, "The chief escort has come to see us. Do you have anything to give us? As long as we can do it, we will never refuse!"
Deng Song coughed and said, "Young Master Lin, you're welcome. You two are still in mourning, so I shouldn't bother you. But the situation forces me to invite you over. The bank has sent someone here this morning to ask for news about you. "
Lin Feng said: "Chief escort, what did the banker say?" Deng Wei did not reply, but glanced at Luffy.
Luffy said: "Brother Lin, the bank hopes that you will leave the escort agency before noon tomorrow. Otherwise, they will not hesitate to turn against each other and force their way in to take away Miss Zhang."
Lin Feng said: "Uncle Zhang has been buried in peace, and we were planning to leave. It's just that the destruction of the goods has not been explained clearly, so we didn't mention it to you."
Luffy said: "Brother Lin doesn't know something. If it was just a bank, this escort agency wouldn't care. But now that the salt bank is involved, we are more than capable."
Lin Feng said: "Brother Lu, please speak frankly without any scruples."
Luffy hesitated and didn't answer immediately. When Deng Song saw this, he said: "The shopkeeper of the Salt Bank sent a message that if Miss Zhang agrees to do something for him, the goods matter will be cancelled. If Miss Zhang does not agree, the Salt Bank also hopes that you will leave the escort agency before noon tomorrow." Otherwise, they will receive double compensation for the goods at noon tomorrow."
Lin Feng asked in surprise: "What does Yanxing want Lan'er to agree to?"
Deng Song said: "Yanxing hopes that Miss Zhang will go to the capital to serve a nobleman for them. He is..."
Lan'er was furious, her face turned red with anger, she stood up suddenly and shouted: "Shut up! Who do you think I am!? Let me tell you, even if I die, I will not do such a despicable thing!"
Deng Song couldn't help being stunned when Lan'er drank, and said quickly: "That's not what I said. Besides, people can like you..."
Lin Feng quickly interrupted him and said, "Master Deng, please stop talking!" He pulled Lan'er again and said, "Lan'er, don't be angry. What they say is their business and we can't control it." Lan'er. After listening to Lin Feng's words, Er'er stopped making any sound and sat down angrily.
Lin Feng said to Luffy: "Brother Lu, what's going on?"
Luffy hesitated for a moment before telling Lin Feng the reason. It turned out that the Salt Bank had a very good relationship with a high-ranking official in the capital, so they prepared this batch of goods to give to that person, hoping to get his attention.
The salt bank wanted to use these goods in exchange for the right to continue operating the salt industry. There are many rare treasures in this batch of goods, which are extremely valuable. Now that the goods have been destroyed, the salt bank cannot explain to the high official.
