Don’t Show the Son

Above the vast sea.

The majestic dark clouds, like a huge funnel, overturned on the surface of the sea, and tornadoes raged under the clouds, setting off huge waves tens of feet high. In the dark clouds, thunder snakes danced wildly, which was shocking .

This is a storm at sea. Even if it is a huge merchant ship, when faced with this kind of sea area, it will choose to go far away, otherwise it may end up in the end of the ship being destroyed.

But at this time, in the center of the storm, four figures were floating out of thin air.

It rained heavily under the dark clouds, but when the rain was a few meters away from them, it changed its direction by itself and fell into the turbulent sea.

With a thought in Lin Xiu's mind, a thick thunderbolt pierced through his body, bringing him a feeling that the pores of his whole body were stretched, and beside him, Caiyi, Ning'er, and Qin Wan were also sitting in the air.

Some small thunders were led out from the dark clouds and submerged into their bodies.

After three days of hard work, Lin Xiu finally succeeded in endowing them with the power of thunder.

Caiyi's talent is not very good. It will take too long for her to break through to the upper level of the Xuan rank. Lin Xiu plans to use this method to improve her cultivation within these two months.

As for Ning'er and Qin Wan, with this practice method, the effect may be even better than Lingyin's in the polar region.

In Lin Xiu's arms, there was also a little guy with a whole body of snow, thunder flashed on his body, his little face showed a satisfied expression, and he arched comfortably into the depths of Lin Xiu's arms.

Ever since he discovered that the little guy had awakened the power of thunder, Lin Xiu helped him cultivate whenever he had something to do. Its strength was no longer the same as before, and the intensity of the thunder it released had reached the mysterious level.

It may be the first tiger cub to cultivate in a thunderstorm at sea.

And the intensity of thunder it can withstand is stronger than when Lin Xiuxuan was at the upper level. The body of the little guy seems to be more able to adapt to the power of thunder than humans.

It was born for this.

After the thunderstorm subsided, the one whose strength grew the fastest was not Lin Xiu or Caiyi, but this little guy.

Its fur has become more crystal clear, and it is still flashing with lightning. This is because it still cannot fully control the huge thunder power in its body, and it needs a period of time to digest it.

At the same time, Ning'er, Caiyi and the others had almost reached their limit.

Huge thunder power accumulated in their bodies. Compared with Lin Xiu, their bodies were too far behind, and the amount of thunder they could absorb each time was limited, but even so, it was much faster than their daily practice.

Lin Xiu didn't go back to Jiangnan Fucheng with them, but just found a small county town by the sea, and rested temporarily, waiting for them to completely refine the power in their bodies, transform the power of thunder into Yuan power, and then go to sea to look for opportunities.

This is a county called Fu County. Daxia's administrative system is prefecture-county system. Twenty-one prefectures have hundreds of counties under its jurisdiction. Fu county is near the sea and is a large county under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan prefecture.

Caiyi and the others were practicing in their room, and even the little one was digesting the strength in his body. Lin Xiu had nothing to do by herself, wandering the streets of Fu County.

Almost every place has its own unique delicacies. Lin Xiu likes to appreciate the local customs and taste the delicacies of various places. After shopping around, he took a few bags of pastries in his hand and planned to take them back for them to taste.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in front of them. The people who were walking on the road hid to both sides one after another. One person even fell from the bridge into the river because he dodged too much.

Lin Xiu didn't know what happened, but she was still standing in the middle of the road, and was dragged to the side of the road by a man, who said to him in a deep voice, "You are from out of town, you dare to block his way, be careful and get hurt for nothing." Beat..."

Under Lin Xiu's watchful eye, a young gentleman came from the bridge.

On the left and right sides of him, there is a woman in her arms. The expression on the woman's face is extremely flattering, talking and laughing with him. Behind the young man, there are a few guards who look like guards, which reminds Lin Xiu of the royal capital. dandies.

Since Zhang Jing's death, it has been a long time since the dude dared to be so arrogant in the capital.

But this is the most remote county in Daxia, and no matter how strong the wind is in the capital, it can't reach here. To some extent, the dandies in these small places actually live more chicly than the children of the big families in the capital.

In a place like the royal capital, there are big people one after another, and there are always people who can't afford to provoke them, but in this small place, a county magistrate can do whatever he wants, and his power is even greater than that of the emperor.

Emperor Xia was also afraid of the Zhang family and the Song family. Officials in this kind of place were like the emperor of the earth, and there was almost no one to restrain them.

These days, Lin Xiu and A Ke have killed a lot of wicked people. The crimes committed by those people are really unspeakable.

Seeing these people a lot, looking at these dandies again, I feel that some of them are very arrogant, but they are not breaking the law, and they can't kill one at a time.

At least this dude didn't do any evil in the street, and the two women seemed to be willing, so Lin Xiu didn't plan to take care of him.

Another reason is that Emperor Xia, oh no, there is no person from Fu County in the list given to him by His Royal Highness. Although he is doing assassination, he is also acting in accordance with the law.

The list of assassinations was given by Emperor Xia, who sentenced them to death according to the laws of Great Xia. Lin Xiu and A Ke acted according to the emperor's orders, and it is beyond reproach whether they are public or private.

However, although there are no people on the list in Fuxian County, there are other counties in the south of the Yangtze River. This time, they will stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so they can be dealt with easily, so as not to come again in the future.

Lin Xiu was standing by the side of the street. When the young man passed by with his two female companions in his arms, he took a second look at him.

It is true that this person is too handsome. Men in the south of the Yangtze River are more or less soft, but this person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and straight body. Standing there, a kind of masculinity blows towards his face.

This made him, who is also a man, look a little jealous.

This guy actually looks better than himself.

Coincidentally, this handsome young man also looked over.

The young man gave him a cold look and said, "What are you looking at!"

The handsome young man didn't seem to have expected this scene either. After a moment of astonishment, his expression returned to calm. He looked at him with a very strange expression, half a smile, and said lightly, "See what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this scene, the people around Lin Xiu were startled and kept their distance from him. Soon, within three feet of him, he was the only one left.

At the same time, they looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

This person must be a foreigner.

Otherwise, in Fu County, who would dare to offend the county magistrate's brother-in-law?

When he was walking on the road, when the people saw him, they had to crowd on the side of the road to make way for him. Anyone who stood in his way would be beaten severely.

If you just keep silent, that's all. If you dare to fight back, or if you fight back, you may have to spend a few days in prison.

Who made him the county magistrate's brother-in-law?

As for the county magistrate, it is said that he is related to a certain wealthy family in the capital. In this Fu County, he can be said to cover the sky with one hand. No one can disobey his orders. Other officials also have to act according to his face.

Sure enough, the poor foreigner just returned a sentence, and the county magistrate's brother-in-law looked back at the four guards and said, "Throw him into the river for me."

The four guards were also accustomed to this, and two of them stepped forward and extended their hands to the handsome young man.

There were only two sounds of "plop" and "plop". Before people could see what happened, the two guards were thrown into the river.

Seeing this, the other two guards were stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward, but they only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and after a whirlwind, they also appeared in the river.

The young man froze on the spot, before he could react, someone grabbed his chest and threw him headlong into the river.

Seeing this, the two women froze for a moment, then immediately ran out of the crowd.

The young man who drank a few sips of water in the river was protected by four guards. He wanted to climb up, but was kicked down by Lin Xiu one by one.

The young man was floating on the water, looked at Lin Xiu viciously, and cursed angrily.

"You are dead!"

"You bastard, do you know who I am!"

"If you have the ability, don't run away!"

"In the next life, let me live in prison!"

...

Lin Xiu glanced at him indifferently, and simply sat by a tea stall on the side of the road. A passer-by couldn't help but persuade him: "My lord, run away, you won't be able to run away when someone comes from the yamen... ..."

Lin Xiu asked: "It was obvious that his people started the attack just now, so is self-defense also guilty?"

Another passer-by said: "That's right, but he is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is still from a wealthy family in the capital. Last year, a man was arrested and brought into the county just for spitting at his feet." Ya prison, he has not been released until now, if you throw him into the river, he will not imprison you for ten or eight years..."

Lin Xiu asked, "Is this person so lawless?"

The passer-by said: "Not only that, he is here, no one dares to provoke him, and it will definitely end badly if he finds someone who provokes him, you should run away..."

Lin Xiu didn't run away, but instead ordered a pot of tea and sat here to taste the tea.

He realized a problem.

If you want to help Ah Ke realize his dream, you can't just rely on his status as the head of the Heavenly Dao League.

The only thing Tiandaomeng can do is to assassinate those who have committed the most heinous crimes, and they will be killed if they are killed.

He figured it out a long time ago that what Great Xia needs is a top-down, inside-out thorough reform, in order to break the situation where the dignitaries control the government.

In fact, Emperor Xia was already doing this, but in a subtle way. The Tiandao League was responsible for killing those corrupt officials who committed the most crimes, and he quietly installed his own people to take the top.

Jiangnan is the most affluent place in Great Xia, and the power of the dignitaries is intricate. I am afraid that every official is the wing of their support. The continuous blood transfusion for them should also be a headache for Emperor Xia.

This time he will stay in Jiangnan for more than two months, and he has a lot of time to do things.

The head of the Tiandao League cannot do these things, but Si Cheng, the Secret Investigation Division, can.

For the sake of the noble concubine, give Emperor Xia another big gift. When the time comes, return to the capital and ask him for a colorful boat. Wouldn't he be ashamed not to give it?

Kyoto.

In the Imperial Garden, Emperor Xia was swimming hand in hand with Empress Xian when he suddenly heard a burst of pleasant birdsong.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's the magpies that are calling. There will definitely be happy events in the near future..."

"happy event?"

Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows, and asked her in a low voice: "Is the Queen agreeing to what I said last time?"

The empress seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned red. She had been fighting with Concubine Xian for twenty years, and no one could understand the other. How could it be possible to let them sleep together...

But she hesitated for a long time, and still whispered: "As long as the concubine Xian agrees, the concubine will agree..."

If His Majesty is not satisfied, she is worried that he will neglect her for a few more months.

Emperor Xia whispered a few words to Concubine Xian at the side, Concubine Xian froze for a moment, then blushed and said: "Your Majesty, this, this is too ridiculous, how can this be..."

The concubine has strict palace rules on this kind of matter, and only one servant can sleep at a time. What's more, the queen is still her biggest enemy. How could she be with the queen...

Emperor Xia said indifferently: "It's okay, Concubine Xian disagrees, and Wang Guiren and the others..."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then, just once..."

Emperor Xia showed a smile on his face and said, "Okay, just once..."
