Don’t Show the Son

After discovering that the chaos in several coastal prefectures was not caused by the Hai Clan, Lin Xiu ordered more than a thousand Hai Clan to squat in various river ditches late at night.

The many attacks that happened before have some things in common. The time of the incident is usually late at night, and the location is far away from the prefecture or county, usually in a small village not far from the water source.

This is also in line with the behavioral characteristics of the Sea Clan.

Being close to rivers and streams, their abilities can be better utilized and they feel more secure. After all, once they fall into the hands of the government or Zhen Haijun, their fate will be very miserable.

Lin Xiu thought at first that these incidents were caused by some small groups of the Sea Clan.

But the three Sea Clans caught a human back.

According to them, this person sneaked into a fishing village in the middle of the night and killed a family of three in the fishing village. If they hadn't been squatted down by them, that family of fishermen would have been in trouble.

The person with the ability of the water magic was brought to the bottom of the sea by three sea tribes, and he was terrified. He never thought that the sea tribe would meddle in their own business.

This has never happened before.

Lin Xiu looked at the man who was being escorted by two sea clansmen.

This person was dressed in black, about thirty years old, and was looking at him with horror at the moment.

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked lightly, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man raised his head. Is this handsome man in front of him the legendary Sea Spirit Clan?

He was shocked by how standard the Hailing Clan's Da Xia spoke. He didn't want to answer, but soon, his eyes became blank, and he murmured: "The seventh captain of the Zhenhai Navy, Jia Zhang..."

Lin Xiu frowned, the person who attacked and killed the people of Donghai Mansion at night was not the Hai Clan, but the captain of the Zhenhai Navy?

Zhen Haijun is an army formed by the imperial court to suppress the sea people. This army is stationed in various coastal prefectures all year round. Almost all of the army are people with strange magic abilities and warriors. In order to maintain this army, the imperial court spends huge military expenditures every year. Not long ago, an additional one million taels of military expenditure was added to expand the army and maintain the daily expenses of the army.

Zhen Haijun was supposed to resist the Hai Clan and protect the people, but now it's the other way around.

Lin Xiu quickly thought of more.

Almost every year, the imperial court received news of the Hai Clan riots several times, and then sent various supplies and military expenses to the Zhenhai Navy in a steady stream.

Lin Xiu asked the leaders of the sea clan that they would not go ashore on a large scale every year, but would sneak up occasionally to steal some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep when they were hungry.

It is not ruled out that some ferocious Sea Clans have a deep hatred for humans and will take the initiative to attack the people, but most of the Sea Clans have to worry about the tributes of the Sea God Festival every year, and they don't have the time or energy to riot.

Could it be that Zhen Haijun blamed the Hai Clan for the previous riots?

Lin Xiu looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"

The middle-aged man murmured: "General, general..."

From the mouth of the captain of the Zhenhai Navy, Lin Xiu confirmed the guess just now, there was no sea clan riot at all, and all the sea clan riots in the coastal provinces were all planned by them.

Only when the sea tribe rebelled, the role of suppressing the navy could be highlighted, and the imperial court would give them a large amount of military expenditure every year and allow them to continue to expand their army.

The Sea Clan will not argue, and no one will doubt it.

Originally, Emperor Xia asked Lin Xiu to investigate the cause of the Hai Clan's riot, but he did not expect to find Zhen Haijun in the end. Although this army was formed by the Great Xia court, the actual power in the army is a few dignitaries.

Most of the generals in the Zhenhai Navy are from powerful families.

General Zhenhai comes from the Wei family in the capital of the kingdom, the four second-class families in Daxia, and the Xue family is a newcomer. Compared with the Song family, the Wei family's presence is not high, but their strength should not be underestimated.

The Wei family has one heaven-ranked strongman and two earth-ranked men, one of whom is the current head of the Wei family, and the other is General Zhenhai, who commands the town's navy and is the easternmost line of defense against the Sea Clan in Great Xia.

Unless authorized by the court, Lin Xiu has no right to investigate Zhen Haijun.

Even the secret investigation division does not have this kind of power.

...

king capital.

Emperor Xia looked at a secret letter sent by Lin Xiu, his complexion was ashen, the Hai Clan's rebellion was actually caused by Zhen Haijun. Over the years, those moths swallowed up the military expenditure of the court, and did not know how many people died in vain in their hands.

Zhu Jin was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhen Haijun, don't move..."

How could Emperor Xia not know that Zhen Haijun can't be moved easily, and the involvement is too deep. Moving them means moving those big dignitaries. Unlike the minions supported by those dignitaries in various provinces, the army is full of their direct descendants .

Just because he can't move doesn't mean someone can't move.

He is afraid of the rich and powerful, but the powerful also have people who are afraid of them.

In the past, when he did some things, he needed to use the sword of Tiandaomeng, but now with Lin Xiu, everything is different.

On the morning of the second day, Emperor Xia announced one thing, temporarily appointing Lin Xiu as the general of the Zhenhai Navy to put down the chaos of the sea clan. This order did not cause much repercussions in the court.

After all, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. In the Zhenhai Navy, the general is actually in power. Every time the sea clan changes, the court will appoint a general to go there symbolically, but the purpose is just to mix up a resume, at most two months. Will be recalled from the military.

Many of the major families in the royal capital have served as generals of the Zhenhai Navy.

Not long after, the news that a general was about to arrive in the Zhenhai camp quickly spread.

Most of them sneered at the former generals.

Those people are just the sons of the rich and powerful who have come to gild, and they have no real skills.

But Lin Xiu's name is no stranger even if they are far away in the East China Sea.

No matter how ignorant and ignorant he is, he has never heard of the number one name on the Tianjiao list. Although he is young, his strength is already at the upper level of the earth, similar to their generals.

Of course, the identities of his wives also made him known to everyone in Daxia.

The No. 1 Tianjiao in the mainland, the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, Fusang Tianjiao, Princess Daxia... are all men, who can't envy them?

More than a dozen lieutenants of Zhenhai Navy are waiting at the gate of the barracks, ready to welcome the arrival of the general.

As for General Zhen Haijun, he did not show up.

The sergeants are no strangers to this. What is General Wei's status? The son of the second-class prince of the court, he was also a well-known Tianjiao in the Great Xia. He once ranked tenth on the Tianjiao list. When Lin Xiu was still unknown, he It has already stepped into the upper realm of the earth and is famous all over the world.

Moreover, what he awakened was also a rare ice art. Before Lin Xiu, he was the only one in Great Xia who had the ability to use ice at the upper level. family.

Every time the imperial court sent people, he never greeted them.

At a certain moment, a painted boat appeared on the horizon in the distance, and soon, the painted boat landed in front of the barracks.

A young man came down from the boat, and the crowd immediately went up to greet him. The leader said: "Zhen Haijun Zuo Admiral Huang Qi, see General Lin!"

The school lieutenants behind also clasped their fists in salute.

Lin Xiu looked at the crowd and said, "You don't need to be too polite, by the way, where is General Wei?"

General Zuo said with a smile, "General Wei is not feeling well, resting in the tent."

Lin Xiu didn't say much, and left the boat outside the barracks, while all the girls stayed inside the boat, they were not suitable to appear in the barracks.

After coming to a certain camp, Lin Xiu sat on the main seat, looked at the people below, and said, "It's the first time we meet, I don't know you all yet, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"My subordinate is Lu Zhuo, the first lieutenant of the Navy."

"Second school lieutenant Tian Zheng."

...

"The fifteenth school lieutenant Ren Xiong..."

In the camp, after the captains of the Zhenhai Navy gave an introduction, Lin Xiu nodded and suddenly asked, "Where is the seventh captain, did I miss it, or did he not come?"

General Zuo said: "Back to General, Lieutenant Jia went out to search for the Sea Clan. He is not in the camp at the moment, and he should be back soon."

He said so, but he was worried in his heart. Jia Zhang went out for two days and didn't come back. Maybe something happened. If Lin Xiu asked in two days, what should he say...

Lin Xiu didn't mention this matter, but said: "Your Majesty ordered me to come here this time to investigate the riot of the Sea Clan. How is the situation?"

General Zuo said: "Back to the general, in the past month, more than a hundred families have been brutally murdered by the Hai clan. We have searched the Hai clan in various provinces. Once we find their traces, we will not tolerate them. They are the ones who died tragically." The people take revenge..."

After he finished speaking, someone suddenly broke into the military tent and said, "Master General, Captain Jia is back!"

When everyone came outside the camp, a figure came stumbling from a distance. Jia Zhang still doesn't know why the Hai Clan released him. He only remembers that he was brought to the bottom of the sea by three Hai Clan. There was a handsome Hai Clan. A man from the Spirit Race asked him who he was, but he didn't answer, and then he didn't know anything...

When he woke up, he was already at the beach.

General Zuo Shen looked at Jia Zhang and said angrily, "What did you do, why are you only here now?"

Jia Zhang wanted to find a random reason, and then report this weird incident to General Wei, but his mind was in a trance, and he blurted out without hesitation: "General Wei asked me to kill a fisherman, and marry him." Misfortune to the Sea Clan, I failed and was captured by the Sea Clan..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

The faces of some school captains changed drastically, Jia Zhang is an idiot, can this be said!

After a few captains froze for a moment, they immediately lowered their heads, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Zuo Shenjiang's head was buzzing, and there was only one thought in his mind, Jia Zhang is crazy!

He regretted a little in his heart, why did he ask that question more, he obviously didn't want to ask, but for some reason, when he saw Jia Zhang, that sentence suddenly blurted out...

But this is not the time to think about it. He looked at Lin Xiu in horror, and Lin Xiu obviously heard it, and looked at him.

Zuo Shenjiang's heart sank, a ruthless expression appeared on his face, and he slapped Jia Zhang's chest. This palm contained the true energy of the earth, Jia Zhang's heart was instantly shattered, and he stared straight at Zuo Zhang. General, the corpse fell heavily to the ground.

General Zuo pointed at him, and said to Lin Xiu: "I'm sorry, General, Captain Jia is crazy, he dared to slander General Wei, the last general has already shot him to death according to the military regulations!"

Lin Xiu glanced at him, and said calmly: "General Huang Shen, I'm afraid this cannot be explained by a single slander..."

"Oh, what General Lin means is that this general ordered him to massacre the people and blame the Hai Clan?"

Just as Lin Xiu finished speaking, another voice came from behind him.

A middle-aged man came over and met Lin Xiu's eyes.

Outside his body, cold air lingered, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

Lin Xiudao: "Whether it is true or not, don't you know if you check it?"

There was also a chill around his body, and some captains with low strength couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Xiu and said, "Listen to Wei's persuasion, go back where you came from, you can't control the affairs of Zhenhai."

Lin Xiudao: "What if I want to take care of it?"

Seven or eight captains slowly stood behind the middle-aged man.

Countless sergeants also slowly moved towards here.

Lin Xiu looked at him indifferently, and asked, "Is there a lot of people?"

He coughed lightly, and the sound was heard far away.

A figure flew out of the boat and landed beside him. At the same time, including the captains, all the soldiers of the Zhen Navy who were approaching Lin Xiu all knelt down, as if a mountain was pressing on their shoulders Up, so that they can't even lift their heads.

Afterwards, several figures flew in the air and landed behind Lin Xiu.

A strong sense of oppression hit his face, the middle-aged man took a few steps back, his face showed a look of horror, these women, apart from their outstanding looks, none of them were below the rank of the earth, and none of them were ordinary. step...

He had brought all his wives with him!

Lin Xiu looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Can I manage it now?"
