Don’t Show the Son

Donghai Prefecture, Yunshui County.

For the people of Yunshui County, this is just an ordinary day, but everything is unusual.

Wu Hai is a street vendor. He gets up early every day, bakes the cakes and goes out to sell them. He went out early today to set up a stall. He prepared money for the gangsters and respect for the police officers. He hoped that the business would be better today. , so as not to lose money.

He had just arrived at the stall, and not long after, he saw a strong man walking towards him.

It was one of the eight guardians of the Tianlong Gang, who was responsible for collecting money from members of this street. He said that he was the same in Tianhe Street, and no one dared to provoke him. Wu Hai handed over the twenty Wen coins he had prepared earlier, and said respectfully: "Six Protector, this is today's money..."

The usually arrogant and domineering man trembled when he saw this, waved his hands again and again, instead he took out an ingot of silver from his bosom, put it on Wu Hai's pancake stand, and said, "Brother, we were wrong before, I'll give it to you here." You have apologized, and you must accept the money..."

On weekdays, they are the ones who give money to the Tianlong Gang. When did they see the money back? Wu Hai was frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Six Protectors, if there is anything I did wrong, please tell me, don't do this. , the villain is afraid..."

The Six Protectors were more afraid than him, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "If you don't accept the money, I won't leave today..."

After Liu Hufa kowtowed to admit his mistake, and complained with snot and tears, Wu Hai took the money in fear, and then heard Liu Hufa say that the Tianlong Gang is gone, and now there is only the Tianlong Guard.

As the captain of the sixth team of the Tianlong Guard, his duty is to lead the team members to patrol the villages near the river in Yunshui County, and report to the government immediately if they find any traces of the Shui tribe.

In addition to the Tianlong Gang, the Black Tiger Gang, the Wild Wolf Gang and other gangs that dominate Yunshui County also became the Black Tiger Guard and the Wild Wolf Guard overnight, responsible for protecting the safety of each village.

Of course, they still have other choices, whether it is gang transformation, or exile for thousands of miles, and mining in mountains, they only need to choose one.

The people in Yunshui County were also surprised to find that the government tax collectors came to their doors one after another today, but they were not collecting taxes, but giving them tax refunds.

In addition to the taxes stipulated by the court, the county magistrate's birthday tax, concubine tax, and funeral tax for the seventh uncle who died were all returned in full, and there was even a surplus.

At the same time, the richest Huang family in Yunshui County also donated five thousand taels of silver to help the orphans, widows, old and young in Yunshui County...

It seems that when I wake up, the whole world has changed.

Of course people know that these corrupt officials, powerful families, gangsters and bullies did not suddenly discover their conscience and change their minds, but because someone came.

Those people are scared.

The gust of wind from Jiangnan Mansion finally reached Donghai Mansion.

Three days later.

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: "It's not bad. For the sake of your sincerity, I won't embarrass you this time. Let's go. I'll come back when I'm free."

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, will come back...

Doesn't it mean that they will continue to pretend 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 of 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, and his heart jumped suddenly, 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 around?"

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 more powerful 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 she didn't do anything. 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 it was 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 clan had already imitated Yunshui County and issued a series of new orders, Let them go 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 be angry with 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 been dominating one side in Donghai Mansion for decades and doing whatever they want, but now they have to be persecuted, become law-abiding, willing to do good, naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, and quietly wrote to the capital to ask the opinions of those behind the scenes 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 method this time was 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 the 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 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 wealthy 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 ordered to stay. 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 even 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 it will be auctioned in Fucheng today."

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..."
