Chapter 941: Blocking the Heart
There are gloom, pirates and yin in that place, and the gods can't make a trick when they come.
"In the past half a month, seven or eight young adults have left home in seven or eight towns in Yuxian and Panzhen in the south of Baili, and more than 400 people have gone to Panzhen, especially Panzhen, and some have even moved their entire families, and it seems that they do not plan to come back. The government investigated, only to find that someone had come from Blade Harbor, where a large number of laborers were recruited to go to the Yangshan Islands, and the wages were preferential. ”
"Yangshan Islands?" Lu Qingan laughed when he heard it, "The surname He is not dead, and he still wants to do a big job?" ”
By now, Young Master He should have discovered that the Yangshan Islands were unlivable, but did he still want to toss and remedy it again?
The lessons passed down by the ancestors of the Lu family, the more ruthless the ghost place is, the faster it will go bankrupt.
"It's late autumn, what can he do?"
"Xia Guan also heard rumors a few days ago that the pirates of the Yangshan Islands have been returned to the new owner of the island. This news has spread in Qucheng with noses and eyes, and some people say that this is black eating black, but ......"
Lu Qingan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Wait, the pirates have returned?" Which pirate has descended? ”
He was a little surprised, but looking back, the Yangshan Islands had a long history of piracy, and the Lu family used to clean up every few years.
Cleaning up once can be quiet for years, and then the theft will come back again.
"I heard that one and two have been lowered, and they have been lowered very simply; Yue Ping and that group was beaten down by the lord of He Island, so he took the newly collected two pirates Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao to attack, and they were captured in less than half a day. ”
It's no wonder that the Bailie people think that the person surnamed He is the new pirate leader, playing black and black. Anyway, the Yangshan Islands have been sold, and they have nothing to do with Bailie for the time being, and the Blade Harbor facing it is not its own, Lu Qingan was surprised and only found it interesting:
"I can't see it, this Young Master He can't do business, and he is still a good hand in war."
Qucheng County ordered to stop talking.
Lu Qingan saw it in his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Say, what's wrong?" ”
Qucheng County ordered solemnly: "Now that it is the autumn harvest season, if there are too many laborers going south, the grain collection in Guantian may be affected." ”
Lu Qing'an's smile was immediately reduced by three points: "It is decreed that agricultural workers are not allowed to leave the local area without permission, and those who violate it will be given forty rods; The departing South Road Post Station should be strictly indexed. ”
Qucheng County took the order, but he knew in his heart that this order was not easy to execute. Bailen South is only 40 miles away from Daofeng Port, although Daofeng Harbor has been "borrowed" by Qingguo, but it is a free port after all, Bailen Nanjing residents often go there to visit relatives, friends, businessmen and transport goods, and the bilateral ties are very close.
It's hard to say how much real effect this paper ban will receive.
"The person sent by the lower officials to inquire about the news of Blade Harbor has just returned, and it is basically confirmed that the matter of the Lord of He Island subduing the pirates is true. A few sea fanatics eat and drink at the tavern of Blade Harbor, blowing up the battle against Centipede Island. Qucheng County Commander hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to phrase his next words, "In addition, there are one or two other things that are also stirring up in Blade Port. Even if you don't mention it, it will reach your ears in a few days. ”
Lu Qingan frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition in his heart: "Something to do with us?" ”
"Yes, yes." The Qucheng County Commander said in a low voice, "Legend has it that the Lord of Hedao dispelled the evil qi of the Yangshan Islands and defeated the Yin Qi of Longji Island. ”
"Impossible!" Lu Qingan denied it, "Impossible!" ”
"This is also revealed by the pirates, some of them followed the Lord of He Island into the archipelago and killed many giant dragons, and said that the corpses of the Yin Worms that kept drifting on the shores of Blade Harbor a while ago were all the result of Lord He Island declaring war on the Yin Clan!"
"What result?" Lu Qingan sneered, "How many people are there under the surname He?" It is ridiculous to dare to be greedy for heavenly merit for yourself. ”
Are all the pirates of this stubble stupid like this, listening to a foreigner who casually flickers and believing it? Lu Qingan regretted it a little, he knew that it was so simple, wouldn't he have to surrender by himself?
The Yangshan Islands are not completely worthless, and the few islands that are not shrouded in gloom can still produce some output.
In the past, the Lu family did not take care of the Yangshan Islands, firstly, because pirates grew like weeds, and after cutting down one stubble, the cost of managing the island was higher than the benefit; Second, after the Blade Harbor was borrowed by Qingguo, there was a barrier between Bailie and Yangshan Islands, and if you want to take a boat seriously, you have to pass through the Blade Harbor first, otherwise you will have to go around in a big circle, and it is not very convenient to come and go.
Qucheng County Ling shook his head: "The pirates who participated in the battle of Centipede Island said that at that time, Yue Pinghe fled by boat, and it was the Lord of He Island who blew the flute to summon Yin Yu and gave him the final blow. ”
Lu Qing'an laughed: "You mean, Yin Yu can cooperate with the surname He?" "Can those monsters still communicate with people? Slippery world! They are only interested in human flesh.
"The pirates swear that the Yin Yu obeys the orders of the island owner." Qucheng County Ling smiled bitterly, "Xia Guan also thinks that it is just a coincidence, and Yin Yu eats people regardless of location and occasion." However, Xia Guan went to ask the people around Min Tianxi, and the reply was that the Lord of He Island and a big demon landed on Longji Island, visited the Lord of the Yin Domain, and then reached an agreement with the Yin Yu Clan. ”
"When he returned from Baiyuan, Min Tianxi, Huang Zhao and others had seen the content of the agreement with their own eyes."
"What's the content?" Regarding the joke that the rich young master bought the island indiscriminately, Lu Qingan already didn't think it was funny.
"A part of Longji Island is also allocated to the Yin Yu to live in, and the Yin Yu cannot come to disturb He Lingchuan's normal industry."
"It can't be a fake agreement, right?" Lu Qingan only felt incredulous, "The person you asked, has he seen the terms with his own eyes?" ”
"Uh, I read it, but I can't understand it, it is said that it was written in the language of the ancient immortals."
Lu Qingan laughed heartily: "These pirates don't know a few big characters, can they recognize the language of the Gu Immortals?" Dare to say it! ”
For pirates, what is the difference between the Gu Immortal language and the ghost drawing talisman? I don't recognize it anyway.
The surnamed He held a ghost drawing talisman on paper, and easily bluffed these uneducated rough people.
"It is said that some pirates recognize it, and Min Tianxi, the leader of the second path, knows the language of the Gu Immortals." Qucheng County ordered, "He said that he was right, and his subordinates naturally believed it." ”
"It's a farce!" Lu Qing'an opened his mouth to qualitatively, "If your preface is true, the Yin Yu Clan was really slaughtered by him, and the King of the Yin Yu can still reach an agreement with him?" ”
He pointed out the suspicions: "Even if this agreement is true, there is no clause for the shadowy to help the war. ”
"But the pirates are convinced, and now they regard the Lord of Kajima as a man of God." Qucheng County Commander continued, "The fishermen and boatmen of Blade Harbor also said that even if it is cloudy to go out to sea now, there is no longer gray fog floating in the depths of the archipelago, and it is very safe to sail back and forth. ”
Lu Qing'an muttered to himself: "Yin, pirates, and yin, have they really been settled by him?" ”
Reason told him that it would never be possible.
But Lu Qing'an remembered in a blink of an eye that after He Lingchuan paid the final payment for the purchase of the island, Master Yang came to report that this Young Master He had heard the pirates mentioned by Renee and turned a blind eye to the remnants of the Yin Worm floating on the sea, and he was afraid that he had already known about it.
At that time, he also felt that Master Yang's inference was reasonable, but the island had already been sold and the money had been obtained, so he didn't bother to think about it.
Now that I think about it, is the surname He premeditated?
He was confident in solving the problem of the Yangshan Islands, so he came to Bailie to lower the price and bought the vast archipelago at an astonishing price!
If the Yangshan Islands are exhausted from now on, how can the fertile land and abundant products of the more than 40 islands not be coveted!
Lu Qing'an was a little distracted.
Although the Yangshan Islands have earth-shattering yin veins, they are different from other yin-evil Jedi. Those places have no vegetation and no near birds and beasts, and they are of no value at all; The Yangshan Islands are exposed to the sun, and as long as the food crops grown on the island can be exposed to the sun, they will not be contaminated with evil spirits, and people and animals will not get sick if they eat them.
He settled down before he ordered Qucheng County: "Don't tell my father about this." ”
Qucheng County Ling was embarrassed: "Ah, this ......"
Lu Zhensheng is the head of the Lu family.
As soon as Lu Qing'an's words came out, he felt inappropriate, and patted his head and said, "Ah, I'm confused." Tell my father in the afternoon. ”
Qucheng County ordered to respond and retreat.
……
Near noon, father and son had lunch together.
Lu Zhensheng chatted with his eldest son for a while about the government affairs in the territory, and then grabbed a thin-crust soft cake, rolled some fragrant barbecue slices, and then brushed a layer of pear sauce, and squinted his eyes when he ate:
"Qing'an, have you heard about the recent events in the Yangshan Islands?"
Lu Qingxin scolded secretly, the old man's heart and eyes can only be internal, if only he could be so agile externally.
But he had to look dazed: "What's the matter?" ”
"The He Lingchuan who bought the archipelago seems to have made a lot of tricks." Lu Zhensheng continued to ask him, "Didn't Liu County Ling mention it to you?" ”
"I've heard some rumors about chasing after the wind, but I haven't taken it seriously." Lu Qingan sneered, "What about dispelling evil qi and eliminating yin, if a rich son has such skills, where in the world can't he go?" Why do you have to come to the Yangshan Islands? ”
"Didn't you ask someone to get to his roots?"
"Sent out, how can you come back so soon?" Lu Qingan took a soft-shell crab that was fried to gold and gnawed it with a creaky sound.
It's so crispy!
This molting crab is soft, and it doesn't need to be peeled by hand at all, and it is directly yellow. "Fuguo is on the side of Bega, even taking a boat to take the road, and it will take at least half a year to go back and forth, not counting the time to inquire about the news there."
They want to find out the origin of He Lingchuan, but it is not enough to send the fowl demon back and forth, they need someone to inquire and investigate on the spot.
"Besides, if he really has the ability to dispel the evil, why only open up a dozen islands?" Lu Qing'an behaved lightly, "I see, he wants to create some gimmicks and make a name for himself, so that he can sell the crops produced on the island later." ”
"Gimmick?" Lu Zhensheng admits that this speculation is very reasonable. What can't a businessman do in order to promote himself? "And how did he subdue the pirates? In the past month, the pirates have not committed any more crimes. ”
