Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

30: The emperor issued a decree to seize the land, and Liu Xingye cut off his arm.”Father, did you get the eight hundred acres of land? How much silver did it cost?”

Chen Chuanwen knew his Family’s finances; their savings were far from enough to buy eight hundred acres of land. He had thought his father only went to the county yamen this time to gather information.

He never expected that he would actually bring back the land deeds for eight hundred acres!

”Sigh, it was a complicated turn of events. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse...”

Chen Changsheng sighed softly and told Chuanwen about his cooperation with Baili Ce.

Chen Chuanwen lowered his head in thought for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes as he lowered his voice and said:

”Father, regardless of what that Immortal Official is thinking, we can use him as leverage. He’s using us to make money, and we can use his prestige!”

”At the very least, within Longwei County, he is the most powerful person besides the County Magistrate who controls everything!”

Chen Changsheng nodded silently, narrowed his eyes, and said to Chuanwen:

”Baili Ce is cooperating with us for profit. Therefore, the first month’s dividends must satisfy him. As a dignified Immortal Official, he will not cooperate with useless people.”

”So... the first step is to reclaim those eight hundred acres of land from the Liu Family. Are you confident?”

A cold smile played at the corners of Chen Chuanwen’s mouth. He touched the long saber at his waist and sneered:

”In terms of background and strength, how can the Liu Family compare to us?”

”If the Liu Family doesn’t know what’s good for them, I don’t mind staining my blade with blood to settle the debts of many years once and for all!”

Seeing that Chuanwen was confident, Chen Changsheng felt relieved. He wasn’t afraid of Chen Chuanwen going on a killing spree; he only feared that he wouldn’t have the heart to pull the grass up by the roots.

Fortunately, Chuanwen was a ruthless one!

”Then go and prepare. Head to the Liu Family to demand the land!”

Chen Changsheng gave the order and then went to the courtyard to teach Chuanjie martial arts. A Liu Family that had fallen from grace was no longer worth his concern.

Chen Chuanwen lightly stroked his saber, gave a cold laugh, and then called the Family’s farmhands to head straight for the Liu Family!

At the Liu Family residence, the once-bustling main gate was now deserted. The doors were tightly shut, with only an old man left guarding the entrance.

”Go call someone. Tell Liu Jinshan to come out and see me!”

Chen Chuanwen walked aggressively to the Liu Family’s gate and instructed Double Happiness, the farmhand behind him.

Although the Liu Family’s pillar had collapsed, their accumulated prestige among the villagers remained.

Double Happiness walked to the gate and politely expressed that the Chen Family’s Second Young Master wished to meet with Liu Jinshan.

The old man was quite old and slow-witted; he didn’t immediately realize who the Chen Family’s Second Young Master was!

He remained lying in front of the gate, slowly smoking his pipe with an arrogant air, seemingly wanting to get some silver from Double Happiness.

Double Happiness looked at Chen Chuanwen with some embarrassment. Chen Chuanwen had come today specifically to carve meat from the Liu Family; seeing this, he was in no mood to indulge the other party.

”Heh, can’t hear us talking? Then I’ll make some noise!”

Chen Chuanwen walked to the gate, glanced at the old man, and then walked over to the stone lion in front of the residence. He wrapped his arms around it, gave a low shout, and directly uprooted the stone lion, hurling it violently at the Liu Family’s gate.

*Crash!*

The heavy stone lion smashed a large hole right through the exquisite wooden gate. Chen Chuanwen stood at the entrance and shouted loudly toward the Liu Family residence:

”Liu Jinshan, get your ass out here! It’s time to pay your debts!”

The commotion instantly stunned the old gatekeeper. First, he hadn’t expected anyone to possess such valiant strength; second, he hadn’t expected anyone to dare provoke the Liu Family, the most formidable Family in the village.

The old man’s eyes were wide, and he stood as still as a petrified terracotta warrior, not daring to move an inch!

”Who dares to act so insolently before my Liu Family gate!”

Suddenly, a furious roar came from inside the courtyard. The provoked Liu Xingye strode out aggressively!
