don't show

The Patriarch of the Huang Family and the County Magistrate of Yunshui bent their waists and followed Lin Xiu, the Patriarch of the Huang Family flattered and said, "The reception is not good these days, and I still hope Master Lin will forgive you."

Lin Xiudao: "Not bad, since you are so sincere, I won't embarrass you this time, let's go, I will come back when I have time.

After speaking, he stepped onto the painting boat, and the painting boat slowly lifted into the sky and disappeared into the sky.

The Patriarch of the Huang Family and the Magistrate of Yunshui had dull expressions on their faces.

Also, doesn't it mean that they will come back, they will keep pretending like this?

In the end, it was the Patriarch of the Huang family who sighed first, and said, "Forget it, just treat it as a waste of money to save your life, a little money, and it's worth it..."

The county magistrate Yunshui couldn't help but said: "It's a little money for the Huang family, but not for this official. All of my net worth is invested in..."

The head of the Huang family heard the unwillingness in his tone, his heart jumped suddenly, he grabbed his collar, and said angrily: "Damn it, I managed to escape this catastrophe, you want to die, don't Pull me, if you dare to make any small moves, I will definitely let you go to the sea to feed the fish."

On the boat.

In A Ke's room, Lin Xiu looked at her and asked, "Is this much better than killing people here and there?"

A Ke nodded. Over the years, she had discovered that no matter how many people the Heavenly Dao League killed, it could not change Daxia's current situation. Although Lin Xiu didn't kill anyone, his methods were more effective.

The folk customs in Jiangnan are still very simple. It's not that those people don't want to change back to the past, but they dare not.

Donghai Mansion will also become the second Jiangnan.

He is fulfilling the promise he made to her step by step.

The common people don't need to be oppressed by the rich and powerful, and there are no rich and powerful in the world... In fact, she knows that this is an impossible task, but he has never complained.

She leaned her head gently on Lin Xiu's shoulder, slowly closed her eyes, Lin Xiu's hand was wrapped around her waist without showing any trace, A Ke's body trembled,

But he didn't do anything, which was a tacit consent to Lin Xiu's actions.

The agreement is the agreement, but the relationship is like a tornado, when it should come, it cannot be stopped.

Lin Xiu had a hunch that if this continued, he would have that bright moon in a short time.

In the days that followed, all the girls practiced while playing. Every place here has unique scenery. Practicing in different places is not as boring and monotonous as when they were in the capital.

In addition to practicing, Lin Xiu and A Ke continued to roam the counties.

What happened in Yunshui County quickly spread throughout Donghai Prefecture. Several times, when Lin Xiu and A Ke went there, the local government and wealthy family had followed Yunshui County's example and issued a series of new orders to make people They made the trip for nothing.

Of course, there are also some unbelievers. After a few houses were raided by them, the rest of them became much more honest.

Between ransacking the house and losing money, most people unanimously choose the second one.

This time, Lin Xiu's approach was different from that in Jiangnan Mansion.

Except for those who are heinous and not enough to anger the common people, Lin Xiu let them go for most of the wealthy families and officials. He and A Ke are only two people, and there are limited things they can do.

The ability of these local snakes cannot be underestimated. With their cooperation and help, these things can go so smoothly.

Many families have dominated the East Sea Mansion for decades, doing whatever they want, but now they have to be persecuted by others, and they have become law-abiding and charitable.

Naturally dissatisfied in his heart, he quietly sent a letter to the capital to ask the opinions of those backstage in the capital.

This time, the powerful families in the capital did not respond to the news from Donghai Mansion.

Unlike Jiangnan, Lin Xiu's measures this time were not drastic, and did not harm their interests too much. Who would want to make things difficult for Lin Xiu in order to stand out for those branch vassals?

In case their family doesn't go to the competition next time, who will take the responsibility?

To put it bluntly, today's Great Xia can do without His Majesty, without a prince, without any family, and can't do without Lin Xiu and his wives and concubines.

These powerful families have been busy competing for resources for their own families recently. The cultivation resources that are several times that of previous years have already made them overjoyed. All of this was brought by the Lin Xiu family. During the year, as long as they don't break the sky, everyone will turn a blind eye.

Besides, these days, in the capital of the kingdom, they are submissive and careful everywhere. Those branch vassals of Donghai Mansion can still be arrogant and domineering. Isn't it more comfortable than their main family?

The news from the royal capital made those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River completely put down their thoughts of resistance. They took Yunshui County as an example, and they would follow whatever Yunshui County did.

The people of Donghai Mansion have also discovered a rule. Whenever a beautiful painting boat appears, the wealthy family will become kind, and the corrupt officials will also become good officials. Although they don’t know who the owner of the painting boat is, it doesn’t affect them. Thanks in my heart...

In less than half a month's time, Lin Xiu's notoriety had spread to all the wealthy families and government offices in Donghai Prefecture.

At this time, in the Accord of a certain restaurant in Fucheng, Donghai Prefecture, Lin Xiu and the girls were eating.

Compared with those small counties, Donghai Prefecture is much more prosperous. Even if all the prefectures in Daxia are counted, Donghai and Jiangnan are the most affluent places.

It was lunch time at this time, and the restaurant was overcrowded. There was also a table of guests sitting in the Accord next door. Their voices were so loud that they could be heard through the wall.

"Have you heard that there are some important people from Donghai Mansion?"

"Nonsense, they made such a big noise, how could they not have heard of it, what do you think those people are from, even those rich families with backgrounds in the capital are so afraid?"

"It's not just those wealthy families. It's said that even Mr. Fu Yin has been banned from walking. I didn't see that those rascals on the street these two days have been thrown into prison. I'm afraid they won't open their eyes and cause trouble..."

Even if the crown prince came, it wouldn't be such a big fight..."

These people just heard some rumors that a big man came to the Jiangnan mansion, but they didn't know the inside story. After discussing a few words, they found that others didn't know, so they lost interest and turned to discuss other things.

"I heard that there is a farmer outside the city. It was wiped out by the Hai Clan a few days ago. It didn't even spare a two-year-old child. Hey, it's so pitiful."

"Those alien bastards, next time you catch them, you should chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"

"It's difficult, those bastards can slip faster than rabbits, and when they run into the water, no one can do anything..."

The girls in the private room were also a little angry when they heard this, and they were no longer in the mood to eat. Minghe put down his chopsticks, clenched his fists and said, "It's best not to let me meet them!"

The hatred between the Sea Clan and the Human Clan can no longer be resolved. They have caused chaos in the coastal provinces all the year round, and the imperial court has to invest a lot of money in exterminating the Sea Clan every year.

At this time, another man next door said: "A few days ago, someone caught a Sea Clan, and today it will be auctioned in Fucheng.

Another person said: "What else is there to auction, just chop it up, who would buy such a disgusting thing?"

The man said: "Of course it's not the disgusting Sea Clan, it's the rare Sea Spirit Clan, and it's a woman, if someone can buy it home, it will be a blessing..."

"Sea Spirits?" Ming He looked at Lin Xiu and said, "I only read about them in books, but I haven't seen the real Sea Spirits yet. Let's go and see, shall we..."

Chapter 330 See You Again

The Sea Spirit Clan is also a branch of the Sea Clan, but compared to the Sea Clan, they are more similar to the Human Clan.

Most of the sea people are born with ugly appearance, sharp and thin teeth, fins or scales on their bodies, webbed hands and feet, and a fishy smell from their whole body, which can be distinguished at a glance.

The Sea Spirits are different. From the outside, they are no different from the Human Race.

Moreover, they don't have the fishy smell of most sea people, but have a unique fragrance.

This strange fragrance is the only way to distinguish the Sea Spirits.

Because of their special features, no matter whether they are men or women, the Sea Spirits are very popular in human countries. The Sea Spirits, especially the women of the Sea Spirits, can be sold at very high prices.

The huge benefits have even spawned some dark industrial chains.

Some organizations will secretly domesticate humans who have awakened the magic of water, bathe them with fragrance every day, and when they grow up, sell them as sea spirits.

When it was reported that a woman from the Hailing tribe would be auctioned off in the East Sea prefecture, even wealthy businessmen from the surrounding prefectures rushed over.

Not only Minghe, but all the girls are quite interested in the Hailing clan.

The auction was held at the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, which is the largest chamber of commerce in East China Sea Prefecture. Its business covers several coastal prefectures, and merchant ships often travel to and from Fusang, Java, and other sea island countries.

Because their merchant ships are often sailing at sea, the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has hired a lot of strong water magicians, one is to better resist the wind and waves, and the other is to beware of the sea people.

At sea, if you encounter a sea clan robbing a ship, no ability is as good as the supernatural power of water.

At the same time, finding and hunting the Sea Spirits is also one of their errands.

Catching a Sea Elder is comparable to their profits from running the ship several times.

When Lin Xiu and the others walked to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, they turned heads 100% along the way.

Among the nine beauties around me, each one is stunning in the world, each one is uniquely beautiful, and one of them is exotic, wherever they go, the eyes of passers-by will move there.

The figures of several people have been away for a long time, and some people are still talking in low voices.

"One, two, three, four..., nine, a total of nine beauties!"

"Which family is he from? Why have you never seen him before?"

"With so many beauties, isn't he too happy?"

I just want to know, can his waist take it?

A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and many of them wanted to see what the Hailing clan looked like, but most of them could only wait outside.

This is a large manor. Although you don't need a ticket to enter, you have to check your identity first. You don't have a 1 tael silver ticket with you, and you don't even have the qualifications to enter.

1 taels of cash, even most wealthy businessmen, can't get it out, and those who are qualified to enter are naturally real nobles.

Everyone who entered the manor could bring at most one person in. When a young gentleman took out 10 taels and brought nine beauties in, many people were shocked.

This is the real rich and powerful. When did Donghai come to this number?

The manor of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce was much quieter without any bustling crowds. Lin Xiu saw only a dozen or so figures at a glance. When Lin Xiu brought the girls in, it naturally caused a commotion.

No matter where they go, they are the most eye-catching.

However, just a moment later, everyone noticed and returned to another place.

In front of the manor, a wooden platform was built. On the wooden platform was a huge transparent crystal vat. The vat was filled with water and surrounded by some aquatic plants. A woman leaned against the vat wall, spitting out a string of bubbles from time to time. Bubble.

The appearance of that woman was very similar to that of a Da Xia woman, she could only be regarded as average, not ugly. Compared with the women around Lin Xiu, the gap was obvious.

The wealthy businessman and son of a wealthy family who originally planned to spend a lot of money to buy this sea woman, secretly compared this sea woman with the woman next to the young man, and suddenly felt that the money spent was not worth it.

Originally intending to bid 2 taels, he quietly lowered the psychological bottom line that he could bear by another 5000 taels.

Xue Ning'er looked at the woman in the water, and murmured: "This is the Sea Spirit Clan, it seems to be no different from us..."

Lin Xiu had doubts about the woman's identity of the Sea Spirit Clan. It's not that he has never seen the Sea Spirit Clan.

It doesn't feel the same.

Lin Xiu was not the only one who had such doubts. A man with a big belly asked, "How can you prove that she is from the Hailing clan?"

The steward of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce said: "We bought this Hailing woman with a lot of money on the black market, and we have already identified it. If you don't believe me, you can come closer and smell it. There is a special fragrance on the Hailing tribe..."

The woman's hands were tied with iron chains, and the steward asked someone to drag the outer iron chain, and her arms were dragged outside. The rich businessman came up to smell it, and sure enough, he could smell a faint fragrance on her body.

The manager of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce continued: "She can also speak the Hai language, which can also prove her identity."

After speaking, he picked up a whip and whipped it twice on the crystal jar. The woman in the jar avoided frightened and spoke some strange language:

"Jiang Jiang pier duo adze mountain..."

Lin Xiu was slightly taken aback.

He didn't understand what the woman said.

But he soon understood.

What this woman said was not only incomprehensible to humans, but also to the Sea Clan.

Some people will let the human woman who has awakened the magic of water pretend to be a sea spirit, and after selling it for a high price, they will wait for an opportunity to escape, or secretly snatch it back.

This woman is in the same group as the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

Although her acting skills are superb, there is still a big gap compared with the little actors in Lihuayuan.

I'm afraid that wealthy businessman is also entrusted by the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

Princess Minghe looked at the terrified woman, and whispered to Lin Xiu: "She looks so pitiful, shall we buy her?"

Lin Xiu leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Princess Minghe looked at the woman in astonishment. Is this a fake Hailing clan?

At this time, the steward of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce had already announced the start of the auction.

The reserve price for this rare girl from the Sea Spirit Clan is 1 taels. Every time the price is increased, there will be no less than 1000 taels. The highest bidder will be able to bring this alien beauty home.

"I will offer 1000 taels!"

"I pay 1 taels!"

"5000 taels!

After several rounds of price increases, this girl from the Hailing clan was finally taken away by a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan Mansion at a price of [-] taels. Looking at the woman next to the young man, I suddenly felt that women of other races were nothing more than that,

It's boring, and there is no further increase in price.

The wealthy businessman from the Jiangnan Mansion was accompanied by an old man.

He raised his hands, wrapped in a stream of water, the woman in the crystal jar slowly flew out, the iron chain on her hand was not opened, and was held by the old man.

This old man is obviously a different magician of the water system, and his strength is at the upper level of the mysterious level, not lower than the ground level.
