Chapter forty-ninth tyranny is fiercer than tigers
In fact, Lin Fengjin really didn't mean to refute Lu Yu and Eunuch Cui's face last time. He was really over-intentioned but insufficient in strength. He thought that Emperor Wei Ming's conspiracy was originally divided into two, and the imperial seal was thrown to the monarch and the emperor.
Ambitious people, and the whereabouts of Qingmei Xiang are left to those who pursue wealth and power.
In fact, Feng Jin had long thought that Wei Ming Emperor Qian Xu was a monster-like existence. He had been thinking hard about how to use the "Green Plum Smell" conspiracy --- of course it was also a sugar-coated bullet ---
--- I ate the sugar coating and shot back the cannonballs. I racked my brains and exhausted myself to think about it! If I accept another mission related to the Imperial Seal, will I still be alive?
After Lu Yu's side was settled, there were no hidden dangers. Lin Fengjin had to be prepared to take a long journey. After all, the information provided by Huonu Yaya showed the accurate time: Dog Days.
The so-called three volts are: the first volt, the middle volt, and the last volt. Each period lasts ten days, a total of thirty days. After these thirty days, you will have an early morning next year.
If you continue to think deeply, why is it necessary to go in the dog days of summer?
It should be because the dog days of summer are the period with the highest temperatures throughout the year. Therefore, according to Lin Fengjin's inference, although the dog days of summer can trigger green plum sniffing information, they should be the hottest mid-day period.
, is the time when it is easiest to obtain relevant information.
Moreover, Lin Fengjin is going to Xirong this time, which is a veritable enemy country! You know, during the battle in Yaocheng, Lin Fengjin's sinful hands were stained with the blood of Xirong soldiers, not to mention that he was even more destructive
In order to understand Xirong's good deeds of attacking and killing Lu Yu, he also sent General Shen Canyuan to the Northern Qi Dynasty!
If such a crime is caught, it will definitely be tied to the execution ground, first chopped and then killed, then chopped and then killed... Although Lu Yu blocked the relevant information, allowing Lin Fengjin to keep a low profile, but it is estimated that
Lin Fengjin's head was worth several thousand taels of silver to the Xirong government.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin also had a lot of back-ups before, such as his wild boars. Needless to say, they are local snakes in Xirong. The wild boars have been crawling around in Xirong for so many years. It can be said that they are everywhere.
In addition, during the battle in Yaocheng, Lin Fengjin even captured three second-generation ancestors who came to the army and were gilded:
Tu Zhangao, the Erlangjun of Ganmujie in Xirong,
Pang Guifei’s younger brother Pang Qi,
The son of Xirong Xue Lancuo's big-headed man Hu Bian, Hu Jinzhi. Ruolun's family power is the most powerful. Not only does it have 100,000 soldiers, but it also has three major assassins under its command.
These three fools were tricked by Lin Fengjin into writing letters of accusation to each other and sold each other out. If the handle in Lin Fengjin's hands was sold, it would be even more harmful.
family.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin's trip was completely unknown to the Xirong Kingdom, and with these three undercover agents as cover, it seemed that he was in danger.
After everything was prepared, Lin Fengjin was ready to leave, and this time he made up his mind to get something out of the fire and break the damn conspiracy of Emperor Wei Ming Qian Xu! To be honest, he was killed by one.
People who have been playing with applause like this for hundreds of years will definitely feel unhappy no matter who they are!
What's more, this guy seems to be addicted to it. The conspiracy can be said to be one after another. He fooled Lin Fengjin once and actually plans to do it a second time. This is really unbearable.
I endured it, but for Lin Fengjin, I was still secretly happy in my heart. I was grateful that Qian Xu was so conceited that he could give himself a chance for revenge.
At this time, Lin Fengjin was already looking forward to the final moment of solving the puzzle. When he ate the sugar coating and hit the cannonball back, he could no longer see the wonderful expression on Emperor Wei Ming's Qian Xu's face when his plan was exposed.
But there is no doubt about the joy in my heart. At least I can win back a victory, and everyone is even.
In order to avoid interference from all external factors, Lin Fengjin decided to set off alone this time. Even the wild boar made an appointment with him to meet at Xingqing Mansion, an important town in Xirong. He originally wanted to take Taoist Fu with him, but this guy has recently
In addition to developing new products for "Lin Fu's", he was also addicted to alchemy, and even more so to women. When he heard that he would have to travel thousands of miles to endure hardships, he categorically and sternly refused.
Therefore, there was no one else following Lin Fengjin except the armored divine beast Sirius who could be placed in the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring of Momen.
Needless to say, the mistress Huonu Yaya also tried hard to follow her this time, but is Lin Fengjin a person who doesn't distinguish between seriousness and severity? Of course he refused sternly and waited until she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself...
..Speaking of which, Fu Miner and Zuo Yasi also knew about the existence of Huonu Yaya, but the two women had no choice but to stare:
Lin Fengjin directly brought out Lu Yu's old man's signature, saying that he and the devil-worshipping demon sect had an imaginary conflict. In addition, the social atmosphere was originally for men to be romantic, so big things were reduced to trivial matters, but it also led to
Fu Zuo's two daughters began to form an alliance in some respects and strictly guarded the other women.
***
Five days later, Lin Fengjin was already walking on the border of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. At this time, he was dressed as an ordinary-looking student, wearing single-cuff cloth shoes, wearing a green cloth gown, and carrying a
The book box is commonly known as the "Qi Si Yu", because the top of the book box looks like a raincoat hood, with a rain cap on it. When there is wind and rain, you can wear the cap even in a storm.
After a while, let alone an ordinary light rain.
He was not walking alone at this time, there were two people walking beside him, but these two people were real poor scholars who met along the way.
Since Lin Fengjin pretended to be an ordinary scholar, it was definitely impossible for him to go to an inn and enjoy the benefits of having sex, fine wine, beauties, and comfortable carriages, so he stayed overnight in Taoist temples and other places. Although life here was poor and he was still a vegetarian, but
Fortunately, it is a place that is loved by scholars because it is clean. The two scholars who were traveling together at this time met at the Sanqing Temple where they stayed for the night yesterday. Lin Fengjin made the excuse that he was rushing to his uncle's old friend's house.
I went to copy books, so I went with them.
Although there are many checkpoints in Zhongtang on the road, and the inspections are very strict, but Youdao is a group of three people, three poor scholars traveling together, ordinary tax collectors would not dare to offend them, and those who can offend them know that there is no profit, that is
Regular soldiers would not dare to really offend scholars, so it saved Lin Lin Fengjin a lot of worry along the way.
This time he walked into Xirong from the Central Tang Dynasty and entered Xirong. It was Lin Fengjin's temporary motive. Firstly, it was to make people unable to control his whereabouts at all. Secondly, he had been appreciated by Li Jian and had set up a place in the Central Tang Dynasty.
Many secret agents are also sending a lot of information back to themselves one after another.
Among them is the news about the Xuanwu Gate Iron Guard.
The Xuanwu Gate Iron Guard was a group specially formed to hunt down those criminals, people with supernatural powers, monsters, ghosts, and even those with demon fates. Before Lin Fengjin left, he received a piece of news. This news was unexpected.
It came from a cook.
The cook stopped in a restaurant near where the Xuanwumen Iron Guard was stationed.
The restaurant is the largest and most famous nearby, and the cook is just an ordinary guy there. I don’t want him to betray any secrets. I just want to talk about some strange things I see and hear every month.
There were ten taels of silver. Of course the cook was happy to accept it and told everything he knew.
It turns out that the Xuanwu Gate Iron Guard is divided into five divisions based on metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But last month, all the fire divisions in the five divisions suddenly got together in a restaurant. Although these people are usually cold and cold.
Like a robot, he drank a lot of wine that day. Some people were crying and laughing at the same time.
In the next month, the restaurant's business dropped a lot, and no such people came to eat. It was not until a month later that some familiar faces started to appear one after another.
In addition, the Lin family also set up a clothing appraisal shop nearby, which dealt in second-hand goods. Because the prices were always fair, the business was very good. Just after that month, the clothing appraisal shop received a
A batch of black clothes, as well as a batch of strange-style clothes, wide turbans, about twenty pairs of quick-step thin-soled boots, and about twenty pairs of straw sandals.
Of course, what these things have in common is that there is a kind of brand-new tatters, that is, the new clothes have been ruined like this, and there are a lot of blood spattered on them, and there are even traces of smoke and fire.
.
And don’t say that you are a person who works in a clothing store. Even ordinary poor people know that the first place where clothes are torn is the cuffs, elbows, knees, etc., and the holes are mostly round, how can it appear like this?
In the shape of a transverse cut, most of the damage is in the chest and abdomen?
Next, the people who appraised the clothes shop also discovered that there was a lot of very strange soil stained under these shoes, which turned out to be black and red. There was only one place in Zhongtang that produced this strange soil, and that was the Tiger Mountain on Zhongtiao Mountain.
It is said that a demon tiger died here during a calamity, and the essence and blood all over his body seeped into the soil, thus turning it into this black and red color.
However, Hushang Mountain happened to be located at the junction of Yaozhou and Xunzhou in the middle Tang Dynasty. There were often rumors of strange things happening. Therefore, merchants traveling between Yaozhou and Xunzhou would rather climb the mountain from Qilipu next to it and go around the mountain for 400 meters.
Thirty miles away, I would have to walk five or six more days, and I was not willing to take a shortcut to the Hushan Mountains, which could be climbed in a day and a night.
However, there are often people who have to go through Hushangling due to urgent matters, but it's okay. There are also businessmen who go here to grab an extra five or six days and get rich overnight.
However, people began to become paralyzed, and as more and more people started walking, some strange things would happen again. Therefore, the road on Hushangling was often stopped and walked. It was not like no one had ever asked a mage to do some rituals.
, but it often clears up for a few months, and then the old behavior comes back.
At this time, combined with various circumstances, most of the truth of the matter can be restored. That should be that Hushan Ridge should have a very valuable target for the Xuanwu Gate Iron Guard, but the threat must also be great, so
Everyone in the Fire Department had to have a dinner together to boost morale before setting off, but it seemed that the end result was a tough one, and even the "Fire Department" of the Xuanwumen Iron Guard with an official background suffered a big loss.
Originally, this kind of thing was nothing special, and Lin Fengjin would not pay attention to it. However, the Lin family was doing business all over the world. Lin Fengjin opened the Zesheng Club at that time and invited Li Jian as an honorary member, so he was very happy throughout the Zhongtang Dynasty.
, so there are quite a lot of overt and covert intelligence networks. Even if Li Jian dies, the Lin family is in trouble, and they go underground, there will still be a lot of them.
Therefore, the Lin Family Trading Company also had spies in Yaozhou, next to the Hushang Mountains. The information they collected was that in mid-June, when the moon was bright, some mountain people saw a red light rising from the Hushang Mountains that seemed to rise into the sky.
, I thought the mountain was on fire, but the next day I discovered that there were no signs of fire at all!
"Mid-June. The moon is bright and bright." These eight words immediately attracted Lin Fengjin's attention!
The restaurant side can confirm that the month when the Xuanwu Gate Fire Guards went out on business was June, and the two sides could immediately confirm that they were comparable. Not only that, Lin Fengjin also asked people to investigate the accident at Hushangling
During the time period, 80% of the cases occurred in the middle of the month. This is obviously related to the fact that the demon-slayer wants to absorb the characteristics of Yuehua...
Important news involving a person suspected of being a demon would attract Lin Fengjin's attention.
Therefore, the purpose of Lin Fengjin's trip was to go from Xunzhou through Hushan Mountain to Yaozhou, and then exit from Yaozhou and enter Xirong.
If you take this road, it seems that you will have to travel through an extra country. In fact, you will take a shortcut and save at least a few hundred miles. Lin Fengjin also plans to touch the bottom of the demon fate person and see.
Is there any advantage to take advantage of?
For Lin Fengjin at this time, although the Demon Fate on the Tiger Death Ridge should be very powerful, his strength can basically be determined, and he is not the kind of abnormally strong character. Otherwise, Huo Fengjin
No one in the department could survive.
Now that he has this large-scale judgment base, Lin Fengjin is confident enough that he can escape without defeating the opponent, because even if he doesn't have a wild boar by his side, he still has the powerful armored beast Greedy Wolf.
He can protect himself at any time, and he is even more successful in practicing the magic puppet secret technique of the demon worshipers before, and he even disguised it as the most common and common secret technique of spreading beans to create an army! Once the enemy underestimates it, then
You will regret it for the rest of your life.
Lin Fengjin walked with the two scholars for four days. When he arrived in Xunzhou, he could only find a reason to break up with the two of them. In fact, the three of them talked quite speculatively along the way, especially the two scholars.
Among them, there was a man named Wang Zhan. Regardless of his conversation and knowledge, he was not the kind of rotten scholar who was too stupid to read, which was very rare.
They met by chance and parted in a hurry. Lin Fengjin didn't have anything to give. Thinking that it was inappropriate to give money or gifts, he simply gave them a few lonely books. They couldn't put it down immediately and thanked them repeatedly. Lin Fengjin thought about it.
Thinking of it, he even left them the address of Lin's firm in Nanzheng. If there was anything urgent, he could directly ask Boss Lin after he got there and ask the shopkeeper to send a message to him.
Because Lin Fengjin feels that although Wang Zhan is talented and knowledgeable, to put it bluntly, he has low emotional intelligence and idealizes things too much. He always feels that the king is a saint, absolutely perfect, and can see everything clearly, but now he is under the control of the court.
Being deceived by the villain... Lin Fengjin could only sigh. To be honest, Li Chen, the king of the Middle Tang Dynasty who is now on the throne, is actually a middle-aged man. He should not bring down the country, but
To expect him to innovate and reach the level of a saint is completely nonsense!
Therefore, Lin Fengjin can almost conclude that the scholar Wang Zhan will definitely meet his end in the system. When he becomes disheartened and realizes the cruelty of the world, Lin Fengjin will be able to do what he wants. He took it into the house ------- Oh no, he should have thrown it into Wuzuo City to show off his ambitions. It was becoming more and more prosperous, and the customs and laws of the nomadic people were becoming more and more incompatible with it. It takes a knowledgeable person to put it on track.
***
Xunzhou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is located on an important transportation road. Two official roads that crisscross the north, south, and east and west cross here. It is an important town located in the mountains. The specialties here are very unique, and they are A kind of medicinal material. Because of this medicinal material, seventy or eighty people die in Xunzhou every year. This is because this medicinal material is called Xun She, and the locals generally call it Shanlong.
Although the word "snake" is attached to the snake, it is usually two or three feet long, and the big one can even reach more than ten feet, leaping in the mountains like flying! However, its shape and characteristics are more similar to earthworms underground, not only in size but also in body shape. There are no scales on the surface, and it shows the distinctive features of rings one after another.
If people who see it for the first time think that its weakness is only seven inches, that would be a big mistake. At a critical moment, this snake can even break itself like an earthworm without dying. When it is angered, the top of its head will appear. It has a bright red comb shape, which is very scary!
Once this kind of snake bites a person, it is almost certain to die, and it will suffer a lot of pain before death. If you want to die more comfortably, you have to cut your wrist and bleed it to let the snake venom be discharged from the blood. However, this is very serious. Poisonous snakes can be captured and processed and brewed into wine, which is very effective in treating rheumatism. The medicine can often cure the disease. Elderly people drink a cup of snake wine in the morning and evening to strengthen their muscles and bones and prolong their life.
Therefore, although seventy or eighty people die every year due to hunting for snakes, as the snakes become increasingly rare, and the medicinal effects of snakes are further developed, snakes are first listed as tributes, and then they are still The supply exceeds demand, the government does not pay enough tribute every year, and there is no way to compete with the merchants on price, so the prefect gritted his teeth and issued a decree that all residents who turned in the snake hunter's family would be exempted from taxes and corvee for two years!
Tax exemption is okay, but being free of corvee is a big killer. This corvee is what peasants have to do for the government in vain every year, including labor, handymen, military service, etc. There are many shady things, and there are not a few people who have their families ruined because of corvee. ! At this moment, the crowd was furious, and the number of hunters going up the mountain to catch snakes increased day by day.
As a result, local scholars lamented that "tyranny is stronger than poisonous snakes". Rumors spread that this was the beginning of public dissatisfaction, which was equivalent to corroding the foundation of the kingdom. When this situation evolved to the most advanced version, it was those "nursery rhymes" "When it spreads, for example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, "The emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, and thousands of horses are marching to Beimang"... it is a sign of the country's demise.
Faced with these harsh policies, Lin Fengjin was unable to help the world at the same time. If Xunzhou was the territory of Northern Qi, then he could still persuade the higher-ups. But unfortunately, this is the middle Tang Dynasty, and Lin Fengjin is walking on this land. They are all surrounded by dangers and cannot protect themselves, so they can only sigh and start shopping.
There is no doubt that Lin Fengjin must have paid attention to the snake hunter at the first time. As a product of revitalizing the local economy, Xunzhou has formed a large-scale market, and the area where snake hunters are traded is divided into fresh
The living area and the finished product area were still crowded with people, but about half of them were brokers. Looking at the foreign merchants who were unfamiliar with the place, they walked over to talk to them.
On the contrary, Lin Fengjin's appearance was not eye-catching. When someone asked him a few questions, Lin Fengjin immediately made a group of people angry by saying, "How is this young student doing?" Knowing that such poor people have no money and are even more involved.
It was all trouble, and all the brokers sighed, secretly thinking of bad luck, and would never go near Lin Fengjin.
This was exactly the effect Lin Fengjin wanted. He smiled secretly in his heart, but his family felt at ease, so he carefully looked at this "snake hunter" in the market.
