Chapter 150: The Conspiracy of the Aristocrats
readx;
The two of them were stunned, Ling Xiao frowned slightly, but he didn't have the slightest interest in this kind of goods, and said to Ye Weini: "Let's go." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ye Weini nodded obediently, glanced at the overseer who was looking at her with lustful eyes in disgust, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Scared your dog eyes!"
The overseer was just a little far away, only to see a pair of young men and women, but when he got closer, he found that the two were gorgeously dressed, the man was handsome and straight, and the woman was stunning.
However, this overseer is traversal in Penzes City, although his identity is not much better than that of the mud legs, how noble can he be to supervise the work in the paddy fields on this hot day, but he belongs to the most noble of the four nobles of Penzes...... is also the richest one of the overseers of the Cui family, originally in addition to the Cui family, the biggest nobleman in Penzes is the city lord with royal blood, Earl Li Houlin, but he is gone, the new Viscount Ling Xiao, oh, he is just a viscount! The lord of his own family is also a viscount, so the overseer who seems to know about the affairs of the aristocratic class feels that his master is now the most powerful person in Penzes, and he does not need to be afraid of anyone.
Besides, this chick was so pretty, the overseer swore that she was definitely prettier than any of the top tags he had ever played!
Thinking to himself, he smiled lewdly: "You two, shouldn't you have stolen here by cheating, right?" Hehe, little sister, look at the kid next to you, at first glance, he is a useless guy, where is my brother, I am good, my brother, but the biggest nobleman in the city, the steward of the Cui family! Do you want to ...... with my brother?"
Before the overseer could speak, Ye Weini kicked the overseer out of the distance with a flying kick, falling into the thin mud of the rice field, splashing the boss's water and overwhelming a large area of rice. The few laborers in front of him were busy hiding far away, and their godless eyes raised their heads a little blankly to look at Ling Xiaoye Ye Weini, and then swept in the direction of the overseer, with a relieved expression in their eyes.
"This kind of person, just ask Meng Li to clean up, there is no need for you to do it yourself. Ling Xiao took Ye Weini's warm little hand and said with a chuckle.
Ye Weini's cheeks turned crimson and said, "Who let him talk nonsense! This kind of thing that doesn't know life and death, before it was replaced, I would have made him suffer even more!"
Ling Xiao knew that Ye Weini had a lot of small means, and he didn't say much, the two left together, Meng Li glanced coldly in the direction of the overseer, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "Don't kill him, little character, dirty your hands." ”
Meng Liyi lowered his head, and then said, "Got it." ”
The overseer was kicked so hard by Ye Weini that he almost lost his breath, and lay in the paddy field humming for a long time before he got up, and yelled at the slave workers who were standing there: "Do you want to die? Hurry up and work for Lao Tzu! Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat tonight!" Then he rubbed his chest and scolded: "Damn, what a smelly little girl, this kick almost kicked grandpa and me to death! If you ...... in bed"
What the overseer didn't expect was that when he returned to Cui's house in the evening, he was actually summoned by the master, and his heart suddenly became worried, and he said that he didn't have a background in flirting with the man and the woman during the day? Otherwise, he would not be summoned by the master once in his life, as an overseer in the farmland.
With an extremely nervous mood, the overseer, who was barely arrogant in the bitter haha, now came to Cui Ze's room like a pug, nodding and bowing, not daring to raise his head, and kneeling down honestly.
"Meet the sir. ”
"Get up, I have something to ask you. Cui Ze was about fifty years old, lean, and his triangular eyes looked very mean, and he asked expressionlessly, "Who did you meet in the field today?"
The overseer was so frightened that he fell to his knees again and begged, "My lord's life, my lord's life...... The little one just saw that the woman was beautiful, so he made a few teases, and was kicked half to death by them, sir, look at ......" The overseer said, and was about to uncover his clothes to show Cui Ze.
"That's enough!" Cui Ze frowned and shouted, stupid thing, no wonder he can only take care of that group of slave workers, this virtuous person, I'm afraid that any slave worker is better than him! Although he was disgusted in his heart, he still said: "Let me ask you, what does that man look like?"
"Uh...... This, this, the little one just looked at the woman, and I didn't remember what the man looked like. The overseer lowered his head, and the anger on the old man's face swept from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly said: "However, the man is very young, less than twenty years old, and he should be very handsome, and at first glance he looks like a son......
"Okay, you get down, idiot, you dare to tease anyone! This time it's your fate, why didn't the killing god kill you with a sword!" Cui Ze's vicious words frightened the overseer and ran away.
An hour later, in the secret room on the Cui family's mansion, there were four people sitting, who were the heads of the four nobles of Pengzesi City, going out Cui Ze, and Baron Huang Qiang, the head of the Huang family, who had a fat head and big ears, and his weight was estimated to be three hundred pounds away, sitting there, like a mess of meat, it was hard to imagine that such a person could still have the strength of a third-order swordsman, I really don't know if he can beat a swordsman!
Li Nan, the head of the Li family, is in his forties, with elegant appearance and demeanor, and his aristocratic temperament is closest to that of the nobles in the upper circles of the imperial capital.
Mo Qing, the head of the Mo family, is also in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and very thick lips, although he is over forty years old, but the fierce temperament on his body is still very strong, among these people, only his strength is the strongest, and the cultivation of the sixth-order great sword master, even in this Penzes City, is enough to be proud.
But since the new lord came to Penzes City, the nobleman with the highest strength in Penzes has not been in a cheerful mood, and a dead woman is nothing to him. No matter how beautiful a woman is, as long as he likes it, there is no one who can escape from his palm, and the woman around him has not been favored for more than two years, so he doesn't care about a dead woman, but the problem is that that night, he was sleeping with the concubine in his arms, and it wasn't until he got up the next morning that he found himself sleeping with a corpse in his arms all night!
Whoever does this kind of thing will probably be scared half to death, so although there is no evidence that this is what Ling Xiao's person did, it will definitely have nothing to do with him! Even the killers who were invited at a high price above have failed, so how powerful is the power around Viscount Ling Xiao? The person who came to this conclusion was not him, so since that incident, the four of them have been honest for many days, and today the head of the Cui family suddenly summoned them again, I don't know what happened, and I was a little worried in my heart.
"Cui summoned you to come because he had something to discuss with you!" Cui Ze said.
"Your Excellency the Viscount, if there is anything, just say it!" Huang Qiang said angrily, usually others are chronic, but he is a short-tempered acute child, and the muscles on his face tremble as soon as he speaks.
Cui Ze gritted his teeth and said softly: "Today, that one went out of the city and went around my paddy field to go back!"
"Hahaha...... I thought it was a big deal, Your Excellency the Viscount, my brother Cui, no matter how powerful the power around that kid is, you won't be afraid of this, right? Even if he knew that we did it last time, what could it be? He has no evidence, we are also nobles, he doesn't dare to do anything to us, haha, it's fun, kill a concubine I like, in fact, he doesn't know, I happen to be tired of that jealous woman, and I was about to kick her away, but I didn't expect them to help, hahahaha!" Huang Qiang didn't wait for Cui Ze to finish speaking, he laughed to himself, and his loud voice shook the eardrums of the other three people, but fortunately this is a secret room, otherwise how many secrets can be passed out.
Fortunately, the other three people already knew about this Huang Qiang's temperament, and they all listened with their noses tight, and then when his words were in their ears, Li Nan's face sank, and said, "What does he want to do?"
Mo Qing said in a deep voice: "I think it is possible, nominally, the entire Penzes City, including the land around Penzes City, is all owned by him, and if he forcibly takes it back, we really don't have anything to say." ”
"Collect our land?" Huang Qiang sneered: "Don't be kidding, just rely on his brat who hasn't grown all his hair? What's wrong with you, why do you all look sad, do you really think that kid can do anything to us? Don't forget, this Penzes City, 50% of the resources are controlled by our four families......! Doesn't he want to take back the land? Very well, give it to him...... Control all the slave laborers, see who will cultivate for him, and then raise the prices, if the commoners complain, let them go to the city lord, the city lord will take back our land, haha, of course we will increase the price!"
It was probably the first time, Huang Qiang spoke in a loud voice, and the three of them didn't frown, Li Nan's eyes lit up, and then said: "Well, I agree with this, as long as we raise the price, and then put the blame on the lord, let him have a thousand mouths, and he can't justify it!
Mo Qing also showed a smile on his face and said, "That's right, this Penzes City is ours, and it is not so easy for him to take it away as an outsider!"
Huang Qiang laughed a few times proudly, and then said, "Then what are you waiting for?
"Slow, we have to plan this matter!" Li Nan stretched out his hand to stop Huang Qiang, and then muttered: "Brother Xuan controls the grain and oil in the whole city, so this main force is none other than Brother Cui!"
Cui Ze smiled proudly and said: "Don't worry, when is it not Cui who rushed to the front, hmph, he dared to use that method to intimidate me, I am mortal enemies with this kid!"
Cui Ze is not like the other three, he doesn't take women seriously, Cui Ze's concubine is his favorite woman, even the woman has been framing Cui Ze's eldest son and creating an opportunity for her son to inherit the title, Cui Ze is not willing to punish her, she turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it, but she didn't expect to be killed. The hatred in his heart is really hard to put into words.
Li Nan then said: "There are also some nobles and wealthy merchants, I feel that some of those rich merchants seem to have an ambiguous attitude recently, and if they want to bypass the new lord on our knot, they should give them a little color to see, so that they can know who is the real master of Penzes!"
Mo Qing said: "Yes, although we have our own monopoly business, if we want to cause more serious consequences, or even make trouble to His Majesty, we must unite those nobles, and all of us work together to really use this opportunity to drive out that Ling Xiao!"
......
Ling Xiao and Ye Weini walked a few more places in this day, and when they returned to the house, it was already afternoon, the sun was in the west, and they had just walked to the inner house, and they heard a pleasant sound of the piano.
Today's piano sound is much less resentful and angry than in the past, but a little more nostalgia in it.
Ye Weini chuckled: "This woman is very interesting, she plays the piano so well!"
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Everyone has their own strengths, you don't have to be envious, in my eyes, you are much cuter than her!"
Ye Weini's face turned red, her heartbeat accelerated a little, and her eyes became softer and softer, this guy actually learned to coax people, it's really not easy!
Ye Weini didn't have that realm, she could only hear the sound of this piano sounding, but Ling Xiao knew that this wind chime was indeed a genius! A real genius, in this environment, in this situation, he actually had the heart to improve his cultivation!
After Ling Xiao locked her up here, he had never seen her once, although he picked out two of the girls he bought to wait for her, but his strength was completely sealed, how could he be cheerful. After the initial manic stage, now the wind chimes can calm down and practice their swordsmanship by playing the piano, and they have faintly improved!
At this time, Chunlan came over and called Ye Weini away, as if something was wrong, Ling Xiao stood alone at the door of the courtyard of the wind chime, listening with his eyes closed, feeling the slightest sword intent contained in the rhythm!
If you talk about genius, how many people in this world can be found who knows more about swords than Ling Xiao?
In the previous life, among the cultivators, there were musical instruments to display sword intent, but there were no swords to display music, so Ling Xiao was curious, the way of the sword is endless, the founder of Shushan once said: Everyone has their own way of the sword!
Therefore, Ling Xiao was unwilling to give up any opportunity to comprehend the way of the sword, in fact, he did feel something new from the sound of the wind chime!
