Chapter 200: Deterrence
If he had a choice, the man would definitely stop his brother, but now that he was slapped twice by Qin Lin, he couldn't wait to bite Qin Lin to death in his heart, so he didn't bother to care about the iron law of slavery.
Huh-
The flying arrow shot at Qin Lin's back at an extremely close distance.
Seeing this, Aji suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Heart!"
Before the sound fell, the arrow shattered in front of Aggie's eyes, shattering into sawdust powder.
This surprised Aji, and even made the Shannan people who shot this arrow feel terrified of seeing a ghost.
I just looked back at Qin Lin coldly: "Dark arrows hurt people, this is what you Shannan Orion did?"
The man and his brothers were in a dead state at this time.
Their eyes were fixed on the body of the arrow that shattered the ground, and they realized in their hearts that the strange young man in front of them was not an ordinary person.
"You, you're a martial artist?"
The man trembled.
In the eyes of Orion, martial arts cultivators are all nobles.
Qin Lin didn't answer, and stretched out his hand: "Return the golden ticket." ”
The man didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately took out the golden ticket from his arms and handed it back to Qin Lin.
Qin Lin's eyes motioned for Aji to take the golden ticket.
Aggie trembled.
Although he had seen Qin Lin flying before, he had never seen Qin Lin attack with his own eyes, and now, he looked at these people in Shannan, and then looked at the shattered flying arrows, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart-martial arts cultivators are really powerful.
After the man returned the golden ticket, Qin Lin lifted his foot that was pressing on his chest and told them to get out.
The people in Shannan climbed and hurriedly evacuated.
Qin Lin looked at Aji coldly: "I'll give you another choice now." ”
"Hmm......" Aji didn't dare to look at Qin Lin squarely.
I only heard Qin Lin say: "The golden ticket is now in your hand, do you want to take the golden ticket to save your sister, or wait for me to hunt the Jade King Kong back?"
"How long will it take you?" asked Aggie.
"I'm over, within three. ”
"Three ......" Aji struggled inwardly.
The sun had set, and his sister should have been sent to the Hong Clan's mansion in Lingfeng City.
"I can't wait for three, I really can't wait for three......"
Aji's face showed pain, and he said: "My sister will be ruined, she has always been a very timid girl, and when she was captured by the soldiers today, she was already scared silly, tonight, she must be even more scared......"
Aggie couldn't imagine what his sister was scared of, and his heart ached to the extreme.
Qin Lin exhaled.
"Well, then go and ransom your sister. ”
Qin Lin was helpless.
Hearing this, Aji immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Lin.
"What are you kneeling on, hurry up. "Qin Lin.
Aji got up and walked towards Lingfeng City.
Qin Lin followed behind him.
Lingfeng City, it is very easy for Qin Lin to enter the city, and he can sneak into Chengzheng at will
It's just that it is so necessary to take risks, after all, he doesn't belong to Ling Feng City.
And now, when he walked with Aji, he had a legitimate reason to enter the city.
Therefore, at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding did not ask Qin Lin's identity too much, and it was right that Qin Lin was the same hunter in the village as Aji.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, the two men slowly walked towards a yamen.
The yamen here was not used for public trials, but for the distribution of female slaves, and it was also the place where the hunters paid ransoms.
"I'm going to redeem my sister!"
Aji came to the yamen and spoke to the soldiers who were guarding the door.
The soldier glanced at him and Qin Lin, and then smiled, "Come to redeem people, okay, come in with me." ”
Qin Lin looked at the smiling faces of the soldiers, and understood a little in his heart.
The so-called ransom does not mean that the ransom is paid, and there are also layers of benefits for these soldiers.
Sure enough, when Aji entered the yamen, a special person came up to talk to him.
"Your sister's name is Ah Do, isn't it?"
"Yes, how much ransom?" asked Aggie.
"The ransom is not expensive, ten silver ransom plus three silver subsidies, a total of thirteen silver. ”
The so-called subsidy silver is a benefit fee for soldiers.
"Thirteen Silver ......"
Aggie was surprised to hear this offer.
Truth be told, he'd never seen so much money.
In the past, when taxes were paid, the prey was used as collateral, and the prey was only worth a few tens of copper.
"Why so much money? I still have a lot of people in the village to ransom, everyone wants so much money?"
Aggie will inevitably feel sorry for money, although a hundred gold is enough to redeem all people.
The people of the yamen said as a matter of course: "It is already a good deal to redeem people for only a dozen silver." ”
Aji glanced at Qin Lin, after all, the hundred golden tickets belonged to Qin Lin.
Qin Lin didn't care too much about the bargaining between Aji and the Yamen people at this time, his primordial spirit perception was in all directions, trying to find Kong Lingyu's breath.
However, no!
"Isn't Ling Yu in Lingfeng City?"
Qin Lin guessed, but he still hesitated in his heart.
Kong Lingyu didn't cultivate martial arts, her aura was already weak, and if she was far away, she couldn't perceive it.
Qin Lin thought to himself, he still had to enter the Xiao Mansion to determine whether Kong Lingyu was here.
So, he stepped forward and said, "Money, we don't have it, but we have Jade King Kong." ”
"Jade King Kong?"
The people of the yamen and Aji exclaimed at the same time.
Ajidu had already reached into his arms, took the golden ticket and was about to take it out, but because of Qin Lin's words, he forced the golden ticket to be put back.
"You hunted the Jade King Kong?" the faces of the people in the yamen became strange.
Qin Lin nodded: "Yes, ten years ago, the state lord ordered that if you hunt the Jade King Kong, you can be exempted from a hundred rao of tax grain." ”
"Yes, there is such an order. ”
In the end, the people of the yamen showed a displeased expression.
Because ransom with jade diamond means that the soldiers will not get the benefit fee.
Since there is no benefit fee, it is polite to fart.
However, to make money, they still have tricks.
I only saw that the face of the yamen changed in a subtle way, and he smiled again: "You want to use the jade diamond to redeem people, of course you can, but you have to report to the state lord's mansion, and let the people from the state lord's mansion verify the jade diamond." ”
"Okay, then you go and report. "Aggie doesn't know etiquette, and it stands to reason that he doesn't know how to count.
The yamen man raised the corners of his mouth: "It's not early today, you can come again tomorrow." ”
This is to make things difficult for Aji and Qin Lin.
Qin Lin said directly: "Give you ten silver, and help us inform the Xiao family right now, is it okay?"
"Fifty silver. "The yamen made an offer.
"Okay, Yijin, go and report it right away. ”
Qin Lin took out a gold coin and threw it into Yamen Rao's hand.
Money talks.
The yamen took the money, and the work immediately became numb.
Qin Lin and Aji had only been waiting in the yamen for less than half an hour when they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the yamen.
Then I saw a young man in a brocade robe walk into the yamen.
"Listen, people here hunted Jade King Kong?"
The man was white, quite a bit of a eunuch, and he looked arrogant when he spoke.
Aggie was uneasy.
Just now, when the Yamen people went to report, he asked Qin Lin several times about the Jade King Kong, but Qin Lin didn't answer him.
The most important thing is that he didn't see what prey Qin Lin had in his hand when he came back.
So at this time, in the face of the question of the man in brocade, Aji didn't dare to answer at all.
Deceivering the Xiao family is a complete capital crime.
"Why didn't anyone talk?Did someone hunt the Jade King Kong?" the man in the brocade suit showed displeasure.
Qin Lin stepped forward and arched his hand: "Yes, we hunted the Jade King Kong." ”
Qin Lin hid his martial aura, and he could feel that the man in the brocade suit had the level of a warrior realm.
"Where is it?" the man asked.
"In the village, it's too big to bring with you. Qin Lin replied casually.
The man smiled faintly: "It's really big, according to Jade King Kong, it's at least a three-star level Warcraft ......"
When he said this, the man stared at Qin Lin with suspicious eyes: "Three-star demonic beasts, how do you ordinary hunters hunt?"
"I happened to meet a jade King Kong on the verge of death, and I was lucky. ”
"The blind cat meets the dead mouse!"
"Yes, I happened to have it, and I was lucky. ”
"Luck is too good. The man not only looked at Qin Lin and Aji, he was skeptical.
Then: "Take this official to see, if it is really a jade diamond, you can be exempted from taxes and grain." ”
"This ......"
Aggie was nervous.
He didn't see Jade King Kong at all, and hearing Qin Lin like this at this time made him even more sure that Qin Lin was lying.
Qin Lin was unhurried, and arched his hand: "This official, I will take you to see the Jade King Kong, but can you please do me a favor first." ”
"Want to bargain?" the man was displeased.
"It's a girl in my village, named Ah Duo, she seems to have been deliberately enslaved by the son of the Hong family, presumably it won't be long before the son of Hong should send someone to take Ah Duo to the Hong Mansion. ”
"Hongfu!" the man raised an eyebrow.
He understood what Qin Lin meant, and then sneered: "Don't worry, with this official here, the Hong Mansion will not dare to come here to take away any slaves." ”
The man looked at the yamen from the corner of his eyes.
The yamen also knew what to do.
Qin Lin smiled: "Thank you, official." ”
The man waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Don't rush to thank you first, wait a minute, if you don't see Jade King Kong, not only will the girl named Ah Duo be confiscated, but your whole village will die." ”
Hearing this, Aggie trembled all over his body, and his heart became even more weak.
The man noticed this keenly and asked with a sneer, "What's the matter?"
Qin Lin said: "This brother of mine is afraid of Jade King Kong, and when he just captured Jade King Kong, he was frightened. ”
"Hehe......"
The man smiled without saying a word, and walked out of the yamen.
Qin Lin and Aji followed closely behind.
Aji wanted to ask Qin Lin again if he had hunted the Jade King Kong, but at the moment he had no room to speak, so he could only follow Qin Lin and jog out of the city with the man's carriage.
Outside the city, into the cedar forest.
The man kept feeling the breath around him, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Although this official has never seen Jade King Kong, the breath of the demonic beast is still very familiar to the official, and there is no demonic beast here at all. ”
The man raised his hand and signaled for the carriage to stop.
A total of twenty soldiers followed behind the carriage also stopped at this time, staring at Qin Lin and Aji with fierce eyes.
Qin Lin curled the corners of his mouth, "This official, you might as well feel it again, there may be unexpected surprises." ”
"You're playing with your own officials!
"Me, you should feel it again. Qin Lin's expression also fell.
The man frowned.
He was about to order the soldiers to kill Qin Lin and Aji, but suddenly felt a strong martial aura.
"What's going on?"
The man was subconsciously frightened.
He stared at Qin Lin, only to see that Qin Lin's face was faintly hideous, and at the same time, a strong martial aura filled the air
"Martial arts, Martial King Realm!"
The man's originally arrogant posture collapsed at this moment, his feet weakened, and he sat on the edge of the carriage, almost falling directly from the carriage.
"Y-who the hell are you?" the man stammered.
Qin Lin stepped forward, and there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows: "You don't need to know who I am, I just ask you, has the Xiao family recently captured a woman from Lishan and returned?"
"Lishan?woman?" The man was dazed.
Qin Lin drove the aura in the Yuan Shen and gained insight into the man's state of mind.
Helpless, he really didn't know anything.
At this time, Aji looked at the strange scene in front of him, and he was even more dazed than the man.
He didn't cultivate martial arts, and he couldn't sense the concentration of martial qi in the air, so in his eyes, the man in the carriage was suddenly and inexplicably afraid of Qin Lin.
"What the hell is going on?"
He looked at Qin Lin and the man suspiciously.
I saw that Qin Lin stretched out his hand and pinched it directly on the man's neck.
"Since you don't know anything, then there is no use value, right, do you want to die or live next?"
Qin Lin said unwillingly.
I thought that I could get useful information from the people who worked on errands in this Xiao Mansion, but I ended up working in vain.
But it doesn't matter, Qin Lin still has the next step.
The man's face was pale, and he hurriedly responded: "Of course you want to live, and please ask King Wu to spare your life!"
"To live, you'll have to find a way for me to meet your lord, and you'll have to make sure that no one knows who I am. ”
Qin Lin guessed that perhaps only the high-level officials of the Xiao clan could know Kong Lingyu's whereabouts.
The man stammered: "You, you want to see the state lord?
Although the man was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, his status was at the bottom of the Xiao family, and he had no right to let Qin Lin see the lord of the Xiao family.
Especially when he saw that Qin Lin was not good, he was worried that Qin Lin would make a big deal after seeing the state lord, and when the time came, he would inevitably be held accountable and would be a dead end.
Qin Lin was able to read the man's thoughts under the insight of the aura.
He said: "Don't worry, what you have to do is not to let anyone know my cultivation strength, as for how to meet your master, I will think of a way for you." ”
"What do you want to do?" the man stared at Qin Lin.
Qin Lin raised his hand.
A white light appeared, shining towards a clearing in the cedar forest, and immediately, the huge body of the snow ape appeared in front of Zhong Rao's eyes.
Snow ape, Jade King Kong, is a magical beast belonging to the ape family.
Because it lives in the snowy region, it gets the name of the snow ape, and it is also named Jade King Kong because of its crystal clear, carved like white jade.
When the man saw the unconscious snow ape appear in front of him, he was completely frightened and lost his mind, and fell out of the carriage.
He really didn't expect the snow ape to have such a huge body before.
The same goes for Aggie.
At this moment, he didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart.
His eyes stared at the snow ape and he was reluctant to blink, and it wasn't until a moment later that he looked at Qin Lin again, and endless worship had already grown in his heart.
"With this Jade King Kong, I think your master should be very interested in coming out to meet him. ”
Qin Lin asked coldly.
There was no doubt about this, the man nodded, "In the early years, the state lord listened to the magic core of the Jade King Kong to strengthen his body, and he will definitely come to see it in person." ”
Over, horror flashed in the man's eyes: "What are you going to do?
He saw that the terrifying forces in the Qin Lin Martial King Realm must have come to the Plateau State with a huge purpose.
However, Qin Lin shook his head: "I'm not interested in a lonely old man. ”
"You ......"
The man was speechless.
Indeed, the head of the Xiao family, the biggest king in Plateau State, is already a lonely old man.
Two sons were killed three years ago, and a daughter disappeared two years ago, which is also pitiful.
"Okay, you can go back and arrange it now, send some more people, it is estimated that there will be more than a hundred people to bring it into the state lord's mansion for such a big jade diamond, and I will pretend to be a soldier next to you and enter the mansion with you." ”
Qin Lin looked at the other soldiers who came with the carriage.
The soldiers saw Qin Lin's strength, and their hearts were shocked.
Qin Lin said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you can live by keeping your mouth shut." ”
"Yes!" the soldiers could only obey Qin Lin.
Subsequently, Qin Lin and Aji returned to the yamen of Lingfeng City.
Aggie is desperate to rescue his sister Ado.
Qin Lin asked the man to issue a pardon first, freeing the hunters who were imprisoned outside the city gates, so that they could be spared from slavery.
Although the hunters did not know what was happening, they were naturally happy to be able to go home.
Aji was also happy, and quickened his pace to return to the yamen to take Aji home.
It's just that before Qin Lin and Aji's footsteps stepped into the gate of the yamen, they heard a furious tone coming from inside.
"Bastard, this son personally came to mention people, you dog slaves dare to stop it!"
The words were a man with a round body and a fleshy face.
"Young Master Hong, don't be embarrassed, it was the Chang Sui chief of the state lord's mansion who ordered that no one should take away the female slave, especially the one named Ah Duo!"
Chang Sui was the man in brocade who was frightened by Qin Lin just now.
"Chang Sui is a fart, isn't he just a guy in the state lord's mansion, what right does he have to stop his son from arresting slaves?"
Hong Gongzi was even more angry.
Qin Lin stepped forward and heard Hong Gongzi scolding.
"Isn't this a yamen, how did it become a pigsty?" Qin Lin secretly mocked.
Hearing this, Hong Gongzi turned around and only looked at Qin Lin's fur robe, which was very cheap.
Immediately, he saw Aggie again.
He recognized Aji, and immediately frowned: "Damn, who does this son think it is, isn't this Orion Aji!"
"Hong Fei!" Aji frowned.
In fact, the other party's name is Hong Fei, but because he is too fat, Aji calls him Hong Fei.
Hong Fei stared at Aji defiantly: "Orion, you shouldn't have come to redeem your sister, right? ”
