Episode 18 Oppression and Shame
Seeing that he couldn't see the elder after waiting for a long time, Lin Da asked Shen Hao on the side in a low voice, "Immortal Master Shen, I don't know if there is anything to pay attention to when I see those adults later?"
Shen Hao knew that when Lin Da asked like this, Li Sheng, who was not far away, must have heard it, and hurriedly used his expression to keep him silent, but he didn't expect that Li Sheng in front of him suddenly turned his head to face Lin Da, first stared at him, and then said very seriously: "Hey, you are also smart, you know how to ask for advice like this, listen well! When you see the elders later, your attitude must be humble! What they say is what they say, and never refute it! Otherwise, if something happens, even I won't be able to save you!"
When Linda heard this, he was shocked in his heart, he had originally come to discuss business this time, but he didn't expect that there would be such a danger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "I can't refute it, so what's there to talk about?!" he really wanted to ask this, but when he saw Shen Hao on the side, he also nodded to him like this, and quickly closed his mouth, for fear of getting into big trouble, but he was anxiously thinking of various countermeasures in his heart.
After waiting for about two or three hours, a blank herald walked in from outside the room where they were waiting, and called the three of them in. Li Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and Linda couldn't help but get nervous.
The three of them followed the herald through several wide corridors to a domed hall, and saw that on the presidium in the middle of the hall, eight people in different clothes and expressions were sitting on it, and it was none other than the eight elders of the Li clan.
As soon as Lin Da and the others entered the hall, they immediately felt eight strange spiritual powers sweeping over his body, and kept scanning up and down on him, making him quite uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow Li Sheng and Shen Hao to bow to the eight people on the rostrum, and then he and Shen Hao knelt down on one knee, and didn't even dare to look at the eight people on the platform.
"Shengxian nephew, why did you bring these two people to meet us? You know, we old fellows rarely leave the cave like this, don't let us run away in vain. A white-bearded old man in the first seat asked, his tone casual but with a hint of irresistible majesty.
Li Sheng gave him a slight salute, and said with a respectful face: "Great Elder Qiyu, these two are the two elders of Xiaoyu County. The elders may not know that many changes have taken place in Xiaoyu County in the past year, all because of these two people. Now they invite the younger generation as an introducer, in order to bring a fortune to our people. ”
"Isn't Xiaoyu County the poorest and most remote fishing port city? It's not a place full of aura, what changes can there be in the past few years? Don't talk nonsense!" an elder said sharply, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Yes, what kind of ability can this casual cultivator and a mortal have to turn the heavens upside down? It's really strange, Shengxian nephew, don't you accept any benefits from them, let us see these two?" An elder said with a displeased face, and when Lin Da and the others heard this, their faces immediately changed.
"Fifth brother, seventh brother, don't worry. Shengxian and nephew are also familiar people such as me, and the royal family has always made him a tribute officer, and he is also a person who does things safely, and will not do boring things for no reason. Let's listen to these two people, what kind of wealth do you want to give us?" said the white-bearded old man in a gentle tone, and seemed to be quite interested in Lin Da and the others.
Li Sheng hurriedly signaled to Shen Hao and the others behind him, and as soon as Lin Da wanted to speak, a sharp and thin old man next to the white-bearded old man stared at him with unkind eyes, and suddenly said: "What benefits can a mere mortal bring us?!Great Elder, don't you think too highly of them?"
Hearing the words of this thin old man, Linda's face changed, and he swallowed the words he just wanted to spit out, but he didn't dare to analyze anything. The Great Elder smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Why should the Second Elder be so anxious, and listen to what they have to say, if there is a fake, it is not too late to hand it over to you to deal with." ”
The slender old man known as the Second Elder said, "Okay! Listen! I don't care what you say, if there is the slightest bit of untruth, your life will not be guaranteed!" After speaking, the spiritual pressure on his body overflowed fiercely, and Lin Da, who was originally kneeling on one knee, suddenly felt a huge distance pressing on his body, and his face turned pale suddenly. Fortunately, this pressure disappeared immediately, and he barely straightened up.
Lin Da wiped the sweat drops on his head and glanced at Shen Hao, with a hint of unwillingness hidden in his eyes. But he didn't show this emotion, but according to his previous preparations, he cautiously put forward a proposal to plan to cooperate with the mortals of the Li clan in business, and absolutely guaranteed that no matter what the results of the business were, the Li clan would definitely be given enough remuneration.
Lin Da was not verbose, but he was very detailed, and he also parsed some words such as "company" and "shares" that cultivators might not understand, and after finishing speaking, he found that his back was all soaked.
After listening to Linda's description, the eight old men in the seat did not say a word, some closed their eyes and pondered, some acted as if nothing happened, and some did not seem to be listening at all. Linda below was even more frightened, and couldn't guess what these people were thinking.
Just when he was nervous, the second elder suddenly shouted angrily and screamed: "What nonsense! You said that as long as you can open fang markets in other counties, you will definitely be able to make money? What if we help you and things don't go as smoothly as you say? You keep saying that you let the mortals of your clan cooperate with you, and you have never violated the laws of the royal family, how do you know how the royal family's mana is analyzed? If it is really violated? Or do you have ulterior motives and want to lure our clan into violating the laws of the royal family? YesIt must be so! You bold spy, die!"
After saying that, he unexpectedly stretched out his hand to Linda, and a pillar of energy light shot out, shooting towards Linda's body!
At this critical moment, Shen Hao suddenly made a move, stretched out his hand violently, and released a spiritual shield in front of Lin Da, blocking this fatal blow in time. All this happened in the blink of an eye, and Linda didn't have time to react at all, nor did he expect that the other party would suddenly make a move, and he was suddenly pale with fright. It wasn't until Shen Hao helped him stop him that he reacted, and looked at the fierce Second Elder in horror, not knowing what to say.
"Dare to disperse cultivation! Dare to block Elder Ben!" The second elder was furious, and his hands were the same, and he was about to attack Shen Hao and the others.
"Second Elder don't be impatient, why be so impulsive?" The Great Elder didn't care about the scene just now, and seeing that Linda was fine, he asked lightly.
Shen Hao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Second Elder is angry! We are indeed sincere in cooperating with the nobles, and we are by no means spies!"
"Why should we believe you!," the second elder said angrily.
Li Sheng on the side hurriedly helped and said: "Second Elder, don't worry, these two people have also brought some goods that they plan to sell in various parts of Lijun this time, these things are indeed quite interesting, why don't you take a look at them first." ”
Linda hurriedly presented a bunch of things that he had brought with him, including the fertilizers, iron pots, cloth, ironware, and muskets they sold, and explained the uses of these things one by one, and promised to make a lot of money.
"Hmph, even if these things can be sold well, how are you going to cooperate with us?" the second elder said disdainfully.
"Hmm... Elders rest assured, we absolutely guarantee the income of the nobles in Fang City, this is an agreement about our cooperation, please take a look at it. Linda said quickly, and handed over a carefully considered paperwork.
This contract is not complicated, it explains the matters related to the cooperation between Xiaoyu County and the Li nationality to establish a company, and stipulates the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, and finally agrees that the company's income will be divided into 55. In the contract, the mortals sent by the Li clan have almost no work to undertake in the company, but they can enjoy half of all income, which was forced to be made by Lin Da and others in order to obtain the consent of the Li clan when they formulated the contract.
Unexpectedly, after the second elder read the contract, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Bastard, why can we only get half of the income? What are you doing!" A huge mana burst out from him again, and pressed towards Linda below, and even asked him to make a move, this time, the elders next to him also did not react.
Shen Hao on the side hurriedly stepped out again, he no longer had the excitement of seeing the "master" of the Elders' Council at this time, but said eagerly: "Second Elder, please stop being angry! If you think this division is inappropriate, we can discuss it again!"
"What is there to discuss! What are you, and how dare you make up with us?" The second elder increased the output of mana again, and the pressure on Lin Da and the others increased a few points.
Shen Hao's mana was already inferior to this person, and under his oppression, he was even more powerless, and Lin Da was even more at a loss, in front of the powerful cultivator, he deeply felt the insignificance and despair of mortals.
Shen Hao struggled to resist the spiritual pressure of the second elder, and said with difficulty: "Five-five is not successful, then, how about pressing ****?"
"Hmph!" the second elder did not agree, and his mana increased by another point.
"Sanqi!"
The second elder was silent, and his mana continued to increase.
"Twenty-eight!" Shen Hao said with difficulty.
As soon as the words fell, the second elder's face was furious, and he suddenly released the mana on his body without reservation, like a fierce beast, pounced on the two of them in the air! Shen Hao suddenly couldn't support it, the spiritual power shield suddenly shrank, and seeing that the powerful mana was about to press on the two of them, Lin Da on the side showed a look of despair on his face, and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Ninety-one! Ninety-one! We only need one percent!
