Chapter 17- Widespread fame

Drunk Fragrance Pavillion, at the side of the road.

Liang Yongqi laid there unmoving with his hair dishevelled.

No one knew whether he was dead or alive.

The legs of his servants shook, and only by kneeling were they able to feel safe.

"Why?" Liang Yongqi's tears covered his face; two tears streamed down his face, and he was unable to stop them.

He was totally lost.

His brain still hadn't reacted.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and hollered in rage.

"Lin Fan, we are sworn enemies! Never to share the light of day!"

His roar was as crazy as a wild beast.

"Rage +333."

The servants lowered their heads, not daring to look up.

Their Young Master was beaten.

He was extremely angry and whoever he met would be unlucky.

The civilians, who hid far away, looked on coldly like they were watching a show.

To them, no one from the aristocratic families is a good person.

However, recently, they heard that the Lin Family Young Master was not a bad person.

Liang Yongqi saw numerous eyes fall onto his body. He shook his head and hollered, "What are you looking at? Continue looking, and I will kill you!"

The civilians in the distance were expressionless; each of them was doing their own things.

They hated the aristocratic families, but they also didn't dare to offend them.

Liang Yongqi got up while fuming, he lowered his head and walked into the distance.

He remembered this hatred.

Bastard.

Manager Chen felt that Young Master had caused problems once more.

To beat up the Liang Family Third Young Master, they would definitely seek for an explanation.

With Old Master's impression of Young Master, he would definitely be angry.

More refugees gathered outside of the city.

To the aristocratic families, they weren't worth much; they were even worse off than ants.

"Manager Chen, where did they come from? Why does it feel like there are many more of them every day?" Lin Fan asked.

Manager Chen, "Replying to Young Master, they come from the various problem stricken areas. Some of them had their homes destroyed by beasts, and some were natural disasters. There are all sorts of possibilities."

"No one cares about them?" Lin Fan felt that things weren't right. What kind of broken world was this?

For such things to happen and no one actually cared at all.

The world that he lived in was much better.

Once a side faced problems, everyone would give assistance.

"No." Manager Chen shook his head and felt like Young Master was going to be nosy again.

In the past, he didn't notice that Young Master was so nice.

The weather was really hot.

The blistering sun hung high above. It was cool in the morning, but now it was noon; under the scorching heat, one might get heatstroke.

Lin Fan and the others stood at the city gate, looking out of place with these people.

Many of them noticed Lin Fan.

They were all expressionless; they didn't even have any weird expressions.

Logically speaking, some of them would kneel on the ground with their family members to beg him to save their loved ones in exchange for them working for him.

However, looking at the current situation, it was a little different.

Maybe to refugees, asking them for help was just asking to die. Not only would they die without dignity, but they would even be tortured.

"Manager Chen, if I pass the fertile farmland to them, will Father beat me to death?" Lin Fan asked.

The moment he said that, Manager Chen knelt on the ground.

"Young Master, you must not!"

Manager Chen had lived for decades and had never felt more afraid than today.

He was frightened to death.

"Come up, stop kneeling. I was only asking." Lin Fan said.

Manager Chen heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Following which, what Young Master said shocked him to death.

"I just asked. No matter whether or not Father would kill me or not, some things have to be done."

"This wasn't a matter of conscience."

"It is to protect the Lin Family. If we have land that we don't farm, then it would just be a waste."

Lin Fan was a knowledgeable and thoughtful person.

To let him continue his rich young master life, he had to make up for the previous void.

The previous farm taxes were vicious.

They were just killing people.

However, they didn't have enough farmland to use.

If they were going to split the remaining farmland, they might be able to make up for everything.

Manager Chen didn't know how to reply to Young Master.

His words seemed like they made a little sense.

However, for some reason, it didn't feel right.

"Cousin, do you think what I said is right?" Lin Fan asked.

Zhou Zhongmao nodded his head, "Yes, Cousin is right."

Gou'zi silently nodded his head.

Young Master was a person of foresight.

He was worth respecting.

"Manager Chen, don't worry just act like you don't know about this thing. I will take responsibility." Lin Fan patted onto Manager Chen's shoulder and said emotionally.

This Manager Chen matter wasn't simple.

He followed Young Master out, and also had to bear such huge psychological pressure.

He could understand, he could also sympathise.

However, he had no choice.

When one did things one had to bear a lot of pressure.

If one didn't, then one wouldn't be able to achieve anything in life.

"Gou'zi, speak to them and say that I want to split some land to them. Those who want to just follow us." Lin Fan said.

"Yes, Young Master. I will do so immediately." Gou'zi's father was a refugee, and due to his good luck, he was able to be a servant of the Lin Family. Although he didn't have freedom, he didn't need to worry about clothing and food. He was much luckier than them.

Very quickly, Gou'zi ran towards these refugees.

Manager Chen wanted to say something, but he stopped.

He wanted to say: Young Master, can we not do this?

If Old Master knew about it, he would really be furious.

Soon, the refugee crowd started to clamor about.

It was obvious that Gou'zi's words caused these refugees to be shocked beyond belief.

"Did everyone hear that? This person is my young master. He can't stand all of you starving here, and is giving everyone a chance to fight for yourselves. If you believe us, follow us! If you don't believe us, then don't!"

Gou'zi shouted at the top of his lungs.

He represented Young Master; naturally, his aura couldn't be weak and had to look like someone powerful from the aristocratic family.

At this moment, the refugees lying at the sides exchanged glances with one another.

"Is that real or fake?"

"Will aristocratic families really be so nice?"

No one moved.

Maybe they didn't believe that the Heavens would provide free lunches.

They also didn't believe that people from the aristocratic families would give them farmland.

Lin Fan felt that it was a little off.

Were aristocratic families so terrifying to people?

Free farmland and they didn't want it? What did they have to go through to actually make them see such free things in such a bad light?

Manager Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

Luckily the refugees didn't believe it.

It seemed like there was still some safety zone between them.

"What are you all thinking? My young master gave you all land, yet you all don't want it?" Gou'zi got anxious.

What was going on?

It was such a good thing, but no one followed!

At this moment, someone among the refugees said, "How would there be such good things for us? You must be trying to lie to us!"

Manager Chen said, "Young Master, I think you should just forget it. They won't believe you."

"No. Today I really don't believe that they won't trust us to give them farmland." Lin Fan waved his hand and said unhappily. He said, "I am the Lin Family Young Master and have never lied before, you…"

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion among the refugees.

"You are the Lin Family Young Master?"

"If you are, then I believe you!"

The refugees believed him!

When they came here and passed the Wang Family Village, they heard that the Lin Family Young Master is a good person. He saw that they were pitiful and removed this year's taxes.

To them, how would they think that such a good thing would happen?

However, he was able to prove that things were real.

"Then what are you all still hesitating for? Follow us; I am in a hurry! I still have to go to Drunk Fragrance Pavillion to have a good meal." Lin Fan rushed.

This matter seemed casual, and not on purpose.

Lin Fan was feeling really good.

He didn't expect his reputation to be so widespread.

That even refugees knew about him.

Not bad.
