Ye Weini was wearing a long black dress, her hair was pulled up high, revealing a slender and delicate neck, a slender waist was held, revealing two white and delicate arms like lotus roots, the skirt was knee-length, and the two white calves were dazzling, and the stunning face was with a bright smile, holding a parasol, and snuggling up to Ling Xiao's side with a sweet face.

The slender Ling Xiao walked on the streets of Penzes City, with a relaxed smile on his young and handsome face, seeing something fresh, his eyes would be a little curious, Ye Weini would explain to Ling Xiao on the side, Fu Bo followed not far behind, and Meng Li was farther away, secretly vigilantly looking at the surrounding crowd.

Fauber looked at the couple with a happy smile on his face.

When the people on the street met Ling Xiao, most of them were also attracted by the appearance of this young man and woman, and they couldn't help but look back when they walked out of the distance, and most people couldn't imagine that the handsome young man was actually the lord who dominated Penzes City.

The walls of Penzes City were somewhat broken, and the guards guarding the city gate saw the young man and woman from a distance, and the sharp-eyed saw Fuber behind, and they couldn't help but look at the legendary new lord, Lord Viscount...... Ling Xiao!

"This city wall looks a little dilapidated, why haven't they repaired it for so many years? Penzes's economic situation should have been good!" Ye Weini looked at the dilapidated city wall, did not pay attention to the hot eyes looking at her, and said with a slight frown.

"Maybe you think that this can better reflect the heavy taste, don't all the nobles with rich background like this kind of tone?" Ling Xiao said in a somewhat teasing tone.

Ye Weini pursed her lips, and then said a little viciously: "Now that this is our territory, we can't watch it go on like this, right? I like the new one, the newer the better! To hell with the historical heritage!"

Ling Xiao said: "Financially, can you still come up with money?"

“......”

Ye Weini's words were stagnant, and she said depressedly: "You still don't allow people to think about it?"

Out of the city, looking at the empty fields outside, the mood of the two of them has also improved a lot, and they have been locked up in the house these days, and they are indeed a little depressed.

There are few mountains and plains near Penzes, and the edge of the Bunamian steppe is connected to the northwest, the endless sea is a dozen miles to the south, and the Penzes swamp is dozens of miles to the east.

The port of Penzes has been around for many years, and every day merchant ships from several surrounding countries dock here, transporting and pulling away goods, and the cargo throughput is so large that it can be regarded as one of the largest seaports in the Blue Moon Empire!

It is precisely because of the existence of this harbor that the nobles covet this place, no one would have imagined that such a good place would be awarded to a young man who was unknown before, if he is famous, more, I am afraid it will be negative. Fortunately, these jealousies were diluted a lot by the threat of the beast clan, otherwise, if Ling Xiao got this place, he would inevitably be opposed by those nobles!

The two of them didn't believe that they walked east, and in front of them were endless paddy fields, Ye Weini, who had been sorting them out these days, said: "These paddy fields are all under your name, but in fact, they are controlled by the four nobles in the city. ”

"The four nobles?" Ling Xiao thought of the families that Fu Bo called Meng Li to teach a lesson.

Ye Weini nodded and said: "That's right, it's the ones who died of the concubines, hehe, they are the Cui family, the head of the family Cui Ze, who is greedy and stingy, is the most notorious nobleman in Penzes City, the strength is not strong, the aristocratic status of the hereditary viscount, although there is no fief, but the net worth is rich, and the preliminary estimate is that the assets are more than 10 million gold coins! The Li family, the hereditary baron, the head of the family Li Nan, this person has a very high IQ, belongs to the kind of person who is a smiling tiger, is very humble to everyone, and is the most low-key head of the four aristocratic families, his strength is not high, and in the incident that assassinated you, I suspect that this person played the role of a think tank! The last one is the Mo family, the hereditary baron, the head of the family Mo Qing, this person's strength is very good, he has the cultivation of a sixth-order great sword master, and when he was young, he once joined the adventure group and traveled to many places on the mainland, and his knowledge is extraordinary. ”

Ling Xiao looked at Ye Zi's bright and moving face, and was a little moved in his heart, and said with a chuckle: "It's hard for you, so much news has been sorted out in such a short time." ”

Ye Weini smiled a little shyly, blinked with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said mischievously: "These are all news that Meng Li got back, although I hate him, but ...... I'm not rare to fight for his credit!" he snorted softly, looking like a little girl.

Ling Xiao glanced at Meng Li, who was standing in the distance, and said, "You have also worked hard in the past few days. ”

Ye Weini glanced at Ling Xiao softly, and said softly: "I think this is very good, I have a sense of belonging, I like to do this!"

Ling Xiao glanced at Ye Weini, who had a somewhat shy expression, and said softly, "Ye Zi, don't you feel very bitter? The conditions here are much worse than those of the emperor." ”

"Bitter?" Ye Weini smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, raised her head, and stared at Ling Xiao's eyes closely: "What other environment can be more bitter than my previous situation?" Speaking of which, Ling Xiao, when I have time, I want to go back to Utan Town to have a look, and then ...... I'll come back and never leave, okay?"

Ling Xiao never asked about Ye Zi, because he believed that if Ye Zi was willing to say it, then he would have said it a long time ago, since she hadn't said it, it meant that she had difficulties, Ling Xiao didn't like strong people to be difficult, but in the same way, he didn't want the people he cared about to be hurt.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Ye Weini frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Probably not, I don't owe him anything, I want to go back and see, but I can't rest assured of those children." ”

Ling Xiao said: "If you are not in a hurry, just wait for a while, and I will accompany you on a trip!"

"Really?" Ye Weini's eyes instantly burst with surprise, and then she puffed out her cheeks again, and said embarrassedly: "No, how can you go away, everything here needs you." ”

"Hehe, the last thing I need here is me, with Fu Bo and Ling Xiao here, I believe there will be no problem. Ling Xiao said with some self-deprecation, I don't know anything about many things, so don't say that to comfort me.

Ye Weini covered her mouth and chuckled, a cloud of water vapor in her coquettish eyes slowly disappeared, and then said: "Who said that you are not needed, if it weren't for the reason, who would have come to this kind of place?"

The two walked forward while chatting, and saw a large group of people in the paddy field not far away, as if they were working.

The group of men, dressed in rags, were men in the prime of their twenties and forties, some with shackles on their hands, and they toiled under the loud shouts of the overseers with a look of food, and the slightest slackness would result in a heavy whip on their backs.

Although it was not yet noon at this time, the sun was already very scorching, and these poor people were not like the group of soldiers who were trained by Ling Wu, at least, they ate very well! The nutrients consumed by their physical fitness could be guaranteed to be very good. Unlike this group of laborers, it is estimated that they can't eat enough for three meals a day, but they still have to do such heavy physical work, and it is strange to be able to do it quickly!

Ye Weini looked a little unbearable on her face, and said softly: "Let's go back, these people...... Alas, they are all slaves of aristocratic families, and their life and death can only be controlled by their masters. ”

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "The empire doesn't prohibit the slave trade, how can there be such a large amount of effort?"

The corners of Ye Weini's mouth flashed a wry smile, and she said softly: "You are from a rich background, naturally you don't know the sorrow of those people living at the bottom, like them, they have no other way to live, so they will voluntarily sell themselves to the aristocratic family as slaves, and the money from selling your body may be enough for your family to live for many years, and the more young and middle-aged the slave, the more valuable it is." As for the empire's ban on the slave trade, it is even more of a joke, which city do you see that there is no black market for slave trade, and the scale of the slave black market in our Penzes City is still quite large! And it is controlled by the hands of the four nobles, if it is not for the fear that your arrival will affect their interests, how bold would they be? Even if there are other factors, they dare to trouble you, and there are prisoners of war in the war, they will become slaves, you see those who are shackled, most of them have military cultivation, if not, they will resist. ”

Ye Weini's words were plain, but there was a deep sadness, the people at the bottom are actually the saddest group in any era, especially in this era when the aristocracy is in power!

Ling Xiao nodded, and didn't say anything, after all, this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and it can't be changed by him with a word, and said indifferently: "Let's take a look at the territory, I think, we can take back these lands, and then give them to the civilians who are willing to cultivate them, every year, only need to give me a part of the grain I get." ”

Ye Weini was stunned when she heard this, and then said happily: "This method is good! There are many nobles who do this, but I didn't expect that you are still powerful, but ...... If you take back all these lands at once, it should cause a big backlash among those nobles, right?"

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "This is our territory, and besides, we haven't troubled them yet, if they want to come, it's very good, I welcome it." ”

Ye Weini felt her body tremble slightly, a little cold, the smile on Ling Xiao's harmless and handsome face was so natural, but the coldness hidden behind it made Ye Weini can't help but mourn silently for those nobles in her heart.

"That couple of men and women, what are they doing, they are sneaky in that place, and they don't leave here yet!"

The two of them were just about to leave, when the overseer over there, with a big waist and a round waist, yelled at the two of them.
