Lin Fengjin could only smile bitterly. The red maple map of the Autumn Mountains had been wiped clean by that drop of mysterious water, turning it into a blank ancient scroll. At this time, he really wanted to return this thing and shake hands with it.
Enemies become friends, let’s communicate well in the future.
But unfortunately, most of the two people will not listen to his explanation, and if Lin Fengjin tells the truth, they might think that he is insulting their IQ...
The next person didn't even wait for the Sheriff to arrive, he stood up on his own and showed his badge:
"I am a third-grade guard with a sword in front of the imperial court, the chief arrester of Huining Mansion, and Zheng Sanli, the spear and sword instructor of the imperial army. Mr. Lin, you have violated Article 37 and Article 15 of the Daxia Law, so I want to arrest you."
Lin Fengjin looked at Zheng Sanli, smiled and said:
"Oh, I got it."
Next, Governor Che continued to introduce the names of the remaining people, some of which Lin Fengjin had heard of, and some of which Lin Fengjin had not heard of. In short, they were all top players in Dongxia, but they were all very fond of Lin Fengjin.
There are many people who don't have any good impressions, and deep down they want to skin him and get cramps. But Lin Fengjin can smile and nod one by one, with such grace that these people feel a little embarrassed and can't fall out:
First of all, Lin Fengjin is just a junior brat in their eyes, but he can be so calm in such a desperate situation. If he looks ugly, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be publicized by these bastards next to him?
These people come together for a goal, but they are definitely not monolithic.
Secondly, Lin Fengjin’s sect’s background is indeed something to be feared. Once Lin Fengjin dies here, there is no doubt that Lu Jiuyuan will be the first one to take action!
It is definitely not a happy thing to be cared about by the best swordsman in the world. It is very likely that something weird will happen one night, and the head will be gone the next morning. Of course, it is more likely to be like Lin
As Feng Jin said before, he was killed by the Seven Kingdoms Sword and his body was not intact.
This is an outcome no one wants to see.
The fish has been caught in the net and the meat is on the chopping board. Everyone is patiently waiting for others to take the first move and enjoy the harvest themselves.
The atmosphere was very quiet, or there was an embarrassment of silence that challenged everyone's patience. However, Lin Fengjin looked up at Governor Che and said with a smile:
"I looked at the account books before I came here. I don't know about the other companies, but the top-quality cowhide and animal sinews shipped from my family in the ten ships were sold for seventy-seven or eighty-eight dollars. Mr. Che was quite interested.
Don’t you know that the bonus we agreed on at that time has been paid?”
Governor Che's head suddenly buzzed. He was really afraid of what would happen. What he was most afraid of was that his private transactions with the Lin family caravan for kickbacks would be revealed! He suddenly laughed and said:
"Young Master Lin is joking. I act according to the law, so how can I get any dividends?"
Lin Fengjin wondered:
"How is this possible? Are my men so bold? Do they dare to embezzle the 1.3 million taels of silver?"
As soon as Lin Fengjin said these words, at least half of the people present had their eyes wide open!
One, one hundred, three, ten, ten thousand taels of silver!!
I have never seen so much money in my life, how can this idiot get it just by talking?
Before these people present came here, they had a very thorough understanding of Lin Fengjin's investigation, and they probably had an idea of the wealth of the fleet imported from the south of the Yangtze River. So they really did not disbelieve Lin Fengjin's words.
However, there is a distance between Lin Fengjin's money and them. Just like Sheng Dou Xiaomin, he can say in a very calm tone that a certain real estate owner has lost hundreds of millions. And his family is still struggling with the mortgage loan of two to three thousand yuan every month.
It must be heavy.
However, this Sheriff Che was on the same level as them! But he burst out suddenly, and the jealousy immediately rose uncontrollably!
After hearing Lin Fengjin's words, Sheriff Che jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and subconsciously said in shock and anger:
"Master Lin! Where is the 1.3 million taels? Isn't it obviously 900,000 taels?......"
As soon as he said the 900,000, Sheriff Che immediately knew that something was going to happen! Sure enough, the eyes of those around him became particularly dazzling. Sheriff Che slumped down in his seat helplessly, not even thinking of a rebuttal.
None. Lin Fengjin laughed and said:
"People die for money, and birds die for food. Everyone gathered here always has some misunderstandings with me, Lin. In this situation, we don't make any big sense, let alone talk nonsense. This time, just treat me as Lin."
Someone ran away in vain. How about taking out all the goods on the dozen or so large ships I brought, which probably won’t be less than ten million taels of silver, to pay for your arrogance this time?”
"I don't mean to show off, but to be honest, this is probably the only opportunity for you to make a fortune in this life. If you miss it, you may not have such a good thing in the future."
Lin Fengjin's words immediately caused a heavy breathing in the surroundings, but no one dared to answer the question. Lin Fengjin smiled, but his eyes wandered everywhere:
"If you are not tempted in the face of such a big temptation I have presented, it only means that you can't make the decision here. Otherwise, I think you should at least bargain with me instead of saying nothing.
Not to mention, since everyone has revealed the cards, I am in such a desperate situation, what are you still worried about? Still hiding behind and not coming out? Everyone's time is precious, why waste it in such a vain? "
"You are truly worthy of Boss Hu's four-word evaluation of you: as cunning as a fox!" A female voice said rudely from the side room next to her:
"You found me out with just one sentence."
Lin Fengjin's pupils shrank. This woman's voice was completely unfamiliar to him. She was not Princess Cui! Then who was she? After a sudden thought, Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"It's very easy to find you. I would like to ask at this time. You have been hanging on to Mr. Quan for two months. You must be trying to lure me out. Okay! I am already here at this time. What do you think?
What to do?”
"What's the rush? Are you scared?" the female voice sneered.
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Why should I be afraid? But I am indeed a little anxious. If you plan to kill me with a knife, then it is better to do it quickly so that I can reincarnate earlier. If you do not plan to kill me, then try to come up with conditions as much as possible.
Come on, there are still many things waiting for me to do on the ship, because our fleet has agreed on the future, and it is always not good to delay everyone's time just for me."
"Hahahaha! You actually want to go home?" the woman said sarcastically.
"Why not?" Lin Fengjin said lightly: "Because if you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why are you still hesitating at this time? Don't you just want to plot the eight million taels of silver on my ship? What do you think?
Am I a fool to hand over the goods without any conditions?"
"You have a good idea?" The woman sneered: "If it falls into our hands, life or death is not up to you, let alone just goods?"
"It's not just goods, it's just goods worth eight million taels of silver." Lin Fengjin sneered tit-for-tat:
"And you should also know very well that among the goods, there are also members of Nanzheng General Li Hu. Without me, my shopkeepers will have no way to compete with them if they want to get this goods.
Money is just wishful thinking! If you catch me and torture me, you can vent your anger, or even kill me! But the price for venting your anger is a full eight million taels of silver! You can think about it yourself whether it is worthwhile.
"
"I might as well tell you clearly that if you want to get this batch of goods, you can't even think about it without my cooperation! Of course, you can use some torture on me, but I have to tell you. Tianri
Yuan Yuan, whoever attacks me, Master Lu and I will definitely not let you go. It is not impossible to offer a reward of 10 million taels of silver to buy the lives of your whole family. When the time comes, at most the suffering I will suffer will be on you.
It’s just happening again to the whole family.”
At this time, Lin Fengjin's previous demeanor and self-cultivation can be said to be completely gone. Because these things have no great effect on women. More importantly, since Lin Fengjin has affirmed Princess Cui's
existence, then this woman is doomed to be a puppet who can’t do anything. To put it harshly, it’s useless to kneel down and lick her until her vagina spins 360 degrees and then falls in love with her. Princess Cui has to deal with herself, and this woman is bound to do it.
You can only obey your orders.
Of course, more importantly, since Lin Fengjin has already left a strong, sinister, and unruly impression on Princess Cui before. You know, the first impression is very important, so no matter how Lin Fengjin behaves now, he will
It doesn't help, after all, the first impression is very important.
Obviously, no one thought that Lin Fengjin could still maintain such a strong attitude in such a situation, and he still looked like he was in danger. At this time, it was naturally necessary to destroy his strong and arrogant attitude.
Okay, just like facing a shrew, the best way is not to scold her, but to give her two hard slaps!
The snarky female voice obviously planned to do the same, she sneered and said:
"Zhan Zhenren, you have always aimed at Lu Jiuyuan. Now you have a good training partner who knows the sword of the Seven Kingdoms right in front of you. Aren't you even the least bit interested?"
Taoist Zhan still said in a hoarse voice:
"Of course I am very interested in him. I heard that the Sword of the Seven Kingdoms has undergone new changes, and I am even more curious."
Lin Fengjin took a deep breath, poured himself another glass of wine, drank it, and said proudly:
"There is no one in the Jiuyuan Sect who shrinks from the enemy. I happen to also want to experience how Zhan Zhenren used his own strength to fight against the three major disciples of my Jiuyuan Sect!"
***
The man who wielded the Seven Kingdoms Sword did not draw his sword, and the man who liked to chop did not have a sword in his hand.
But they were already fighting together.
Taoist Zhan has been famous for thirty years. In name, he is the nephew of Wang Meng, the master of the Eastern Xia Kingdom. In fact, this person's background is very complicated, because his master, Wang Meng's junior brother, is not actually good at martial arts, but is very addicted to chess.
, Zhan Taoist liked him, so he flattered Naishi in chess skills. Once he won the game, Naishi would directly give him the secret book passed down by his master for self-study.
Self-study is definitely much more difficult than teaching skills from a master. However, Master Zhan Taoist has no intention of martial arts at all, and he cannot teach him, so he can only explore on his own. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the disadvantages are obvious,
But the advantage is also very obvious, that is, in the process of exploration, it is easy to develop a strong self-style. If you don't go the wrong way during the research process, then your understanding and mastery of this martial arts will be better than others.
People are stronger.
Taoist Zhan has been wandering around since he was eighteen years old. After killing people, he will plunder his martial arts and select their essence to incorporate into his own martial arts. Therefore, all the martial arts and supernatural powers in his body have long been in the same lineage as Wang Meng. Because
What he learned was extremely complex, so this person later realized his own shortcomings, so he also tried to simplify it, integrating all the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought into the word "Zhan"!
Lin Fengjin felt like he was facing Taoist Dao Zhan at this time. It was as if he was facing a heavy sword that had not yet been unsheathed. He was slashing horizontally and vertically. It was already powerful and majestic with an astonishing murderous intent. Even if he slashed you,
If it doesn’t open, it will smash you as easily as a walnut!
The Taoist was killed with a hand knife. Every time the knife struck his head, Lin Fengjin had no choice but to avoid it. There was no way to challenge the opponent head-on. As soon as the opponent struck with a palm knife, it was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
. It's just that Lin Fengjin hid quite easily at first, but after hiding a few more times, it became particularly difficult.
Why? Because the speed of Taoist Zhan's attacks actually started to get faster and faster. Each of his sword strikes was extremely heavy. But just because of the weight, the inertia that followed became greater. Taoist Zhan's attacks became faster.
It can only mean one thing, that is, he is using this huge inertia to increase his cutting speed, which means that in the end, it is the moves that drive him, not him.
In this situation, Lin Fengjin finally drew his sword,
As soon as the Seven Kingdoms Sword came out, the mighty sword intent came out. But for Lin Fengjin, the difficult situation did not change at all just because he drew the sword, because the opponent's accumulated momentum had already become.
Lin Fengjin actually felt that it had never been so difficult and obscure, and even moving and drawing the sword was so painful.
If it were the other disciples who were immersed in this wholeheartedly, they could rely on their sincerity and righteousness that is "excellent than the sword" and try the true meaning of "Let you have thousands of troops, I will defeat them with one sword".
But Lin Fengjin can't reach this level at all, because his Seven Kingdoms Sword and the magical power of Gelwu Zhizhi were all imitated through the power of his own demon life.
No matter how much hard work you put in, there will be many rewards. Lin Fengjin lacked the persistence of others to offer swords and practice swordsmanship, so he naturally lost the understanding of the sword. It is normal to feel this way.
Suddenly, Lin Fengjin straightened his sword and stabbed straight, but when the long sword was halfway through, it was crushed into a bow by an invisible huge pressure. It broke from the middle with a "click", but
Lin Fengjin's offensive did not fail. He rolled forward and thrust out his sword!
Lin Fengjin had deliberately broken his sword at this time to let out the heavy pressure of Taoist Zhan. Then he took advantage of this opportunity to use his sword to plot! After breaking the sword, there was such a fierce attack suddenly.
Fuck, this thrust can be said to be extremely abrupt, yet so stunning.
Taoist Zhan didn't seem to expect this move, and immediately retreated. However, Lin Fengjin's stabbing sword finger came later, penetrated deep into his Taoist robe, and then exploded!
But the next second, Taoist Zhan let out a long roar, swiped his sword horizontally, and knocked Lin Fengjin away very simply. He looked like a normal person!!
Lin Fengjin flew seven or eight meters out, knocking over two screens, three tables and four benches. Finally, he staggered up in embarrassment, vomited a mouthful of blood and said with a bitter smile:
"It's amazing."
It turns out that the flaw in killing the Taoist was actually sold on purpose! Lin Fengjin's finger seemed to have penetrated his Taoist robe, but it actually penetrated into the empty space under the armpit. The power of the Seven Kingdoms Sword was vented in the air.
!At this time, a faint voice came from the side room at the back:
"Among Teng Sheze Long Yu, I realized that you are still a little clever. I asked you to become a medicine slave, but you didn't know how to praise me. Now that times have changed, even though you are already in death, I am willing.
If I give you another way to survive, will you go?"
Lin Fengjin took a deep breath, but the smile on his face became even brighter:
"You are indeed here, Your Highness."
At this time, the cold and sarcastic female voice sounded again:
"Lin Fengjin, a native of Nanzheng, is well-informed and talented, so he was promoted from the grassroots to be the third steward in the mansion-------haven't you thanked His Highness for your kindness?"
Lin Fengjin was stunned, but then he smiled:
"What? Have you been promoted from medicine slave to third manager?"
Everyone could hear the ridicule in Lin Fengjin's words, and the female voice said angrily:
"Your death is imminent. Your Royal Highness is generous-hearted, so don't be ignorant of appreciation!"
Lin Fengjin burst out laughing:
"There are so many secrets about me. For example, the secret of Teng Sheze Longyu's last dragon spirit, the secret of the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring on your princess, and the ownership of the eight million taels of silver from the outside fleet. These things
If I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to die. But to be honest, Your Highness, you really don't owe me anything, so when we meet in the future, I will let you go three times... The premise is
If you can survive until later!"
The female voice said angrily:
"What do you mean?"
Lin Fengjin's mouth showed a sneer:
"What do you think I mean? The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Now that the princess and her ministers are united, their power must be far greater than that of the monarch! Our group of businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River have brought a large amount of strategic materials. Unintentionally, they have become
This is a move that stirs up the domestic turmoil in Eastern Xia! It seems that whoever can win this move will get the upper hand! But... in fact, women are women, and their vision is too narrow."
After Lin Fengjin said these words, Quan Nanzhen, who was originally being held hostage, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with light! It was as if he wanted to stop Lin Fengjin from talking anymore, but Lin Fengjin
At this time, he smiled and continued:
"Humph, as far as the monarch is concerned, it doesn't matter whether we fight for the materials transported by Jiangnan merchants. Because so what if we fight for it? Should we immediately process it into armor and prepare for war? The Dongxia people are fighting against the East.
The Xia people were killed and blood flowed into rivers, but the internal conflict was the national power of Dongxia. If the internal conflict was too serious, even if the power was in hand, I am afraid that the next step would be to wait for Xirong and Northern Qi to join forces to attack and destroy the country.
Come on!"
"So, from the beginning to the end, I don't think anyone on the monarch's side intends to engage in civil war. Instead, they should be spying on your other huge weakness, which is that your reputation is not justified! If you want to do something further.
Then it is enough to develop your weakness to a fatal level! There is no need for the internal friction of thousands of troops, only Jing Ke's life-saving attack! Mr. Quan Nanzhen has been fishing here for two months, and it is not me who is fishing, but
It’s you, Princess Cui! If I kill you, those old-fashioned ministers, no matter how powerful they are, are not justified in their reputation, so they can only sit back and wait to be killed!"
After Lin Fengjin said these words, the atmosphere in the air stiffened instantly. After a while, the sarcastic woman forced a smile and said:
"Nonsense, sensational! How dare they?"
Lin Fengjin sighed and said:
"Either you fight, or you sit back and wait for death! What's wrong with the winner and the loser? You only know how to suppress the other party from the general trend, but it's a bit too wishful thinking. How can you suppress this kind of thing?"
Speaking of this, Lin Fengjin's eyes flashed and he sneered:
"Although Princess Cui, you have bought more than 80% of the goods we shipped, but you don't know that there are mysterious buyers who have sold our moonstone, ore, and fire rock at a price that is four times the market price.
Wait for the rare ores to be swept away, and according to our speculation, these are the raw materials used by the Mo family to make armored beasts! Even if Wang Meng is still there, how many raids of armored beasts can he withstand??"
"Of course, the reason why I dare to say this is not unfounded. That is because Mr. Quan once used the activation key of the armored beast as a mortgage with me. If he was really caught off guard and caught by you,
, the activation key of the armored beast should have been found by you as a trophy. However, it is really a pity. In order to save a hand, I also did some tricks on it. The key of the armored beast is now.
Exactly a mile away!”
When Lin Fengjin said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Zheng Sanli immediately stood up and shouted:
"Where are the Eighteen Iron Guards?"
A reply came immediately from outside:
"My subordinate is here!"
However, there were obviously no eighteen people in the reply! Zheng Sanli said:
"Where are the rest of the people?" (To be continued..)
