When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came out of Haiyue Building, they found that the three conference sponsors, Wujiazhai, Longting Island, and Sanjitan, had contacted some other sects and seemed to be preparing to hold a small meeting.

Chen Hui gossiped with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for a while, and then said, "We, the Hemeng, have withdrawn first. If you need any help, just come to us. We won't wade into this muddy water."

Bai Yutang nodded to express his understanding.

After Chen Hui left, Wu Ye and Zhan Zhao pretended not to care and left the restaurant.

But the two of them entered an alley and didn't hurry to leave. The fifth master sent Shark to Haiyue Tower to take a look.

In Haiyue Building, the several families discussed privately and met tonight in the courtyard of Songjiang Mansion in Wujiazhai to discuss countermeasures.

Bai Yutang grasped the general trend and asked Shark to come back.

After that, the two of them were not in a hurry. No matter what they were doing, they could still find something out of the sky. Most likely it would be some weird things.

The two of them went to Haishi to find Tianzun and the others first.

…

At this time, Tianzun and the others were strolling around in Haishi.

Usually, local people don’t go to attractions with many tourists in a place.

The same situation exists in Haishi. Locals in Songjiang Prefecture rarely go there, and most of them are tourists from other places.

Zhao Zhen waved his fan while walking around the market, and found that there were a lot of things here, but they were both real and fake. They were named after being fished out of a certain sunken ship in the sea, but they were not antiques at all.

But occasionally you can still find good stuff.

Gongsun bought some nautical charts. According to my husband’s appraisal, some of them are real nautical charts of the far sea. Although they are not complete, they can be compared with local chronicles.

Zhao Zhen and Lin Yehuo picked out pearl jewelry together. This type is also the most popular in the sea market, but many of them are not sea pearls. Lin Yehuo has rich experience in this area and helped Zhao Zhen choose two pairs of earrings, one large and one small, with the same style.

If Pang Fei and Xiang Xiang wear it together, it should look good.

Several old people discovered a set of backgammon from the previous dynasty, and they all studied it to find out if they could match it. If they could match it, they would buy it.

The boy looked around while shopping, and finally picked up a conch and asked the store how much it cost.

What the fourth son picked up was a conch the size of a palm. It was green in color and its texture was somewhat similar to the caterpillar conch he had picked up at the beach before. However, this one was larger and felt a bit like a frog.

Xiao Liangzi and the others said they could take it back to scare Brother Bai, for example, put it next to his pillow when he goes to bed at night.

Gongsun was helpless, these kids were really brave... No one in the world dared to offend Bai Yutang, so they thought about playing pranks on him every day.

Seeing how cute the little boy was, the store owner said he would give you conchs for free, as they were picked up at the beach a few days ago.

After hearing this, the fourth son reached into his purse and felt around, took out a banknote and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took it and was shocked when he saw it. He put his head out and asked, "Hey, whose child is this? Are there any adults?"

Everyone looked over curiously, and Gongsun quickly said, "It's my son, what's wrong?"

"Oh, why are you, a father, giving so much money to such a young child?" The shopkeeper handed the banknote to Gongsun and said, "Your child gave me five hundred taels for buying a broken conch!"

Gongsun looked at his son.

The fourth boy put away the conch, patted his purse, and did not accept the money.

Gongsun pushed the silver back to the shopkeeper and said, "Since he gave it to you, you should keep it. It means that the conch is worth five hundred taels."

The shopkeeper looked at Gongsun with his mouth wide open. Gongsun took the children away, leaving the shopkeeper sitting there wondering about life - what kind of conch is worth five hundred taels?

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to the sea market, Yin Hou Tianzun and the others had already come out. Everyone bought a lot of things, but they didn't spend much money. Only the fourth son bought a conch, which was the most expensive.

Gongsun asked how the meeting between the two went? Zhao Zhen still retained a glimmer of hope - was there someone rebelling?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both shook their heads and explained the general situation.

Everyone frowned - so strange.

…

Songjiang Prefecture has a sale on Xiankong Island. There are several inns and other courtyards. Everyone goes to the other courtyard to settle down first.

When walking back, Bai Yutang felt someone pulling his hand.

The fifth master looked down and saw that it was the fourth son.

The fourth boy raised his face and said to Bai Yutang, "Bai Bai, I'll give you something."

Fifth Master instinctively put his hands away and looked at Xiaotuanzi with distrust.

The fourth boy smiled and said, "Good stuff!"

The fifth master stretched out his hand, but he did not extend his own hand. Instead, he grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand and stretched it out to the fourth son.

Zhan Zhao spread it out cooperatively, meaning - come on! Is it a caterpillar or a four-legged snake? Master Cat is not afraid of these!

The fourth son took out the "frog" conch from his purse and placed it in Zhan Zhao's hand.

"Yo!" Zhan Zhao thought it looked like a frog at first glance, so he thought he could put it quietly on his Yutang pillow at night when he went to bed.

At the same time, I felt that the pattern of the conch looked familiar, and when I put it in my hand, the cold feeling felt familiar.

"It feels the same as the conch before!" Zhan Zhao said.

Bai Yutang and the others also came over to take a look - indeed.

"Is there any sea water?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Put it in the sea water and have a look!"

Everyone ran to the other courtyard together, and without bothering to settle down, they first fetched a basin of sea water.

I put the larger conch into the water, and sure enough... the conch also became transparent, just like the previous small conch, it had changed.

A pattern appeared in the conch, but this time the conch was much larger than the previous one, so the painting was larger and could be seen more clearly.

The pattern this time is not a bustling city picture, but a "labor" scene with relatively simple content.

This picture has a certain story to it, it is still a picture of Linghai Kingdom. With the help of Kun, a group of people picked up a lot of gold ore from the sea, then transported it to the workshop and poured it into the furnace, and then poured it into the mold.

There are golden palaces and mountains of gold coins piled as high as a hill.

Zhan Zhao took out the gold coin that Chen Hui just "sent" and compared it with the one in the picture.

"Same!"

"The gold coins on the previous sacrificial ship seemed different." Gongsun said, "The gold coins on the ship did not have the hole in the middle."

Everyone nodded.

Lin Yehuo asked, "So when it was said that money rained down on Xiankong Island, were the gold coins blown over from the Linghai Kingdom?"

Bai Yutang also thinks this is possible, "Wujiazhai also has this kind of gold coin. Could it be that they also found similar conches? And found the patterns in the conches?"

"Is it possible that these things were blown over from the Linghai Kingdom by the storm?" Zhan Zhao pointed to the patterns in the conch, "Are there gold mines on the seabed of the Linghai Kingdom? This picture feels like fishing for gold, and then depicting

The buildings in Linghai Kingdom are all made of gold."

Bai Yutang thinks this is possible, "Wujiazhai and the others all want to grow bigger, but development requires money. The money from doing business can't be as fast as treasure hunting. I guess this is the idea."

"Is it possible that they forged a sea monster to attack merchant ships in order to join forces to crack down on counterfeiting and find the wealth of Linghai Kingdom? They don't want the government to know, because they are afraid that the government will snatch it from them?"

"Exactly." Zhao Zhen said disdainfully, "Even if there are gold mines on the bottom of the sea, it is impossible for ordinary people to mine them. The people of Linghai Kingdom must be able to mine gold mines because of Kun's help. Those Jianghu people are really whimsical. This

It’s a typical example of asking for money but not giving up wealth!”

Bai Yutang also agreed. In addition, Fifth Master felt that this group of people failed more than succeeded and failed, so they should not cause trouble and end up being trapped at sea and have to rescue them.

After dinner, Zhao Pu and Zou Liang, who had gone to Tashui Village, came back.

The Ninth Prince said that there was no news from the water village. There have been many storms on the sea recently and it is not suitable to go to sea. Even if there are pirates, they dare not come out to do evil.

Everyone thought about the violent storm that night, and it was indeed quite scary. They all worried about Wujiazhai and the others, not to risk their lives by going treasure hunting.

In the evening, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to eavesdrop on a small meeting. The old men were playing Shuanglu at home, and they almost started fighting. They were so noisy.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu had to watch a few children studying and practicing martial arts, while Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang went shopping. Zhao Zhen was free and took Nangong with him and Zhan Bai.

With Shark around, they didn't have to worry too much about keeping track. The four of them found a restaurant near Wujiazhai's courtyard and booked a private room. Bai Yutang arranged for Shark to spy.

Sure enough, when Shark came in, the heads of several island villages were having a small meeting together.

When Xiaoxiao heard this, they found out that they were not talking about Linghai Kingdom or treasure hunting during the meeting. Instead, people from Wujiazhai took the lead and said that Xiankong Island did not follow the rules of the rivers and lakes. They had a good meeting on the island village, but they had to contact the Yamen.

They couldn't open it, and they even said that Skyfall Island should be kicked out of the River Gang Water League, and no one should do business with them!

Zhan Zhao and the others didn't know what Shark heard, so they just sat eating snacks and drinking tea. However, they saw Bai Yutang's face getting worse and worse, and they probably said something that the Fifth Master didn't want to hear.

The more Bai Yutang listened, the angrier he became. These villains didn't dare to say anything to his face, and what he said behind his back was so unpleasant.

In the end, the words from Wu Jiazhai became more and more unpleasant, and they actually spoke ill of his sister-in-law. Zhan Zhao and the others heard a "click" and the corner of the table was broken off by Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master picked up the knife and was about to kick the door open.

Zhan Zhao quickly stopped him, and Zhao Zhen also asked - what happened?

Bai Yutang was sitting there sulking, and Shark came back at this moment. Jijigugu told Zhan Zhao about the matter, and Zhan Zhao was also annoyed, "These villains!"

The reason why the Fifth Master was angry was because many of these people had been favored by Xiankong Island back then. When their lives couldn't go on, they knew how to ask his brothers. Now that their lives are a little better, they turned against each other and refused to talk to anyone.

It is really unreasonable to talk nonsense behind his back and conspire to frame him.

After Zhao Zhen heard what Zhan Zhao said, he smiled slightly, waved his hand, and signaled to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were angry on the other side, "Hey, you two, please slow down. If someone says bad things behind his back, you two can't kick the door in front of him.

In the end, he said that you two were wrong! At this time, you have to treat the other person in his own way!"

Zhan Zhao felt that he was right, so he asked him, "What suggestions does the emperor have?"

"It's easy!" The emperor gave the two people an idea. "They definitely didn't gather so many people just to say bad things behind their backs. They just said bad things to unite their allies. They must first stir up anger before they can fool people. This is all

For those of you who have a backup plan, tonight, let the person behind your family go to those houses to look for any other clues besides this kind of gold coins. Send them back to him. The meeting they held together today,

If something is lost, they must be suspicious of each other internally, and any organization or alliance will collapse in an instant. Usually one meeting of this kind is not enough, and there will be a second one, which will probably be held tomorrow. When they have a meeting tomorrow, find the Yamen

Come to your door and let the allies happen to see these three families interacting with the government officials. The allies will know that they have been tricked. Just wait at home, and those allies will come to your door and tell you their plans."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Zhen.

The emperor smiled and winked at the two of them - well, for this small scene, you just do what I say. It is useless to deal with this kind of person softly and hardly. If he is weak, he will be justified. If you are strong, whatever you do will be wrong.

So don't come forward, leave it to me. How can you bully Xiankong Island? I will help my brothers to deal with these white-eyed wolves!
